Chapter 798: You And Your Family (1/2)
Lin Yun had a good impression of Henry Morgan, as he was very hardworking and honest. While the Merlin Family had been in a difficult situation for the past few months, the Morgan Family's situation also hadn't been good, and they were often subjected to difficulties.
But Henry Morgan would never delay when it came to delivering supplies. He was always on time, which gave Lin Yun a very good impression, especially since Henry Morgan would personally lead his team every time. These days, he would specially deliver fruits that were specific to Noscent. This made Lin Yun, who had forgotten the taste of fruits, feel appreciative.
After all, although the Raging Flame Plane was rich in natural resources, most of them were minerals. The environment wasn't gentle enough, and most of the common cereals, fruits, and vegetables of Noscent couldn't grow in there, so the only way to stock them was through constant resupply.
And the cost of each supply run wasn't small. Cereals necessarily occupied the major part, while vegetables and meat occupied the smaller part. Something like fruit, which wouldn't cause death if they weren't eaten, would just be troublesome to carry.
Almost no one in the Flame Demon Fort had seen Noscent's sweet fruits.
With his mood buoyed, Lin Yun would occasionally give a few pointers to Henry Morgan. This made him even more respectful, as if he had gained an extremely precious treasure, and he hadn't even given anything particularly precious. So every time he came, he would bring some fruits unique to Noscent for Lin Yun, leaving a good impression on Lin Yun's mind.
After a few words with Henry Morgan, someone else came and greeted Lin Yun.
”Good day, Sir Mafa Merlin…”
Henry Morgan very tactfully left, and Lin Yun started chatting with this new visitor.
More and more people joined the self-serve buffet. Many members of small forces grabbed this opportunity to befriend others, discuss possible cooperation, or exchange views on the general attack.
The conference hadn't officially started yet. The main purpose of this buffet was to let everyone get in touch first and resolve anything they had on their minds so that when the conference officially started, it would progress a lot faster.
The atmosphere was actually quite harmonious. Those who had conflicts in the past were restraining themselves. After all, this conference was in everyone's interests, so everyone had to remain enthusiastic, or they would be looked down upon.
Halfway through the reception, they suddenly heard a loud noise.
”Damn bastard, I gave you a chance, but you can't tell good from bad and are determined to set yourself against our Charlotte Family!”
Following a burst of mana fluctuations, a scream echoed in the crowd, and in an instant, a large area opened up with everyone coldly watching it.
Lin Yun was discussing something regarding the Poison Mist Valley with Weiss when he suddenly came to a halt and couldn't help frowning as he looked over. He saw Henry Morgan collapsed on the ground and covered in blood with a vine restricting his body.
Next to him was a pale man with a ruthless expression who had condensed a whip in the air and was lashing at Henry Morgan with it.
”Damn b*stard, I gave you a chance to provide supplies for our Charlotte Family, yet dared to refuse and insult me. A trash High Mage actually dares to offend an Archmage? I'll give you another opportunity! Speak!”
Weiss looked displeased. The organizer of today's party was the Black Tower, and all the participants were prestigious characters, yet there was still someone here acting like a barbarian.
Then, Weiss saw Lin Yun frown as if he was unhappy.
”Sir Merlin, do you recognize that idiot?”
Lin Yun thought for a moment and nodded.
”I do have a small impression of him. I forgot the name of the one standing, but the one fallen on the ground is a member of the family that is supplying the Merlin Family…”
Lin Yun stood up and walked over to them, and seeing that Kans Charlotte was about to proceed with whipping Henry Morgan, Lin Yun snapped his fingers.
A clear sound echoed as the magic whip instantly dissipated. Kans was slightly startled, and he turned to look at Lin Yun approaching.
”It's you, damned b*stard! You dare to get involved in our Charlotte Family's matters?”
The crowd got out of the way as Lin Yun slowly walked forward. He glanced at Henry on the ground, and the vine restricting his body rapidly withered and turned to ashes.
Henry Morgan looked very grateful as he promptly struggled to stand up from the ground, but he was deathly pale, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
Lin Yun took out a bottle of Health Potion and handed it to him.
”Drink.”
Henry unhesitantly drank the bottle of Health Potion and his injuries rapidly recovered. Scabs fell out, and even his complexion, which had been pale due to blood loss, had returned to normal.
The surroundings turned silent for a moment.
