Chapter 1190 - Guests (1/2)

As for what they should deliver, Patriarch Ofran, you can go and pick. Patriarch Novi had been anxious and forgot to say what he would give..”

Ofran’s expression suddenly changed, he was like an apprentice looking up to a master, as if a mountain stood before him.

‘That Mafa kid is just too suited to become the Patriarch, giving him the position of Patriarch is really the wisest decision I made in my entire lifetime.

‘Just look, he just accepted becoming the next Patriarch and killed the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, while casually scamming the Charlotte Family on the way.

‘And the Charlotte Family can only endure that humiliation. Even if they know the truth, they have no other choice but to admit that the old Novi sacrificed himself to kill a Demon.

‘Would they dare to admit that they came to the Merlin Family’s territory to assassinate the next Patriarch of the Merlin Family? Hell, if they dared to admit it, then no Family in the Andlusa Kingdom would dare to cooperate with them in the future.

‘There is a tacit rule among mage families, even if they had to go to war, they couldn’t use despicable methods to assassinate the other side’s Patriarch or important members. After all, not every important member of the Family had the strength of a Heaven Rank powerhouse.

‘If the Charlotte Family dared to admit to it, then the other forces and Family of the Andlusa Kingdom definitely wouldn’t mind casually exploiting the Charlotte Family.

‘Regardless of what we say, they have to acknowledge it. Let’s have them cough up a plane, they don’t have a choice anyway.

‘If they refuse, then we might as well just go to war!

‘That kid Mafa is so suited to being the Patriarch of the Merlin Family. He was able to gain more benefits than if we won a war… Without even starting a war and without a single casualty.

‘Errr, there is no point in taking over a plane controlled by the Charlotte Family. Who knows if those heartless idiots would leak the coordinates, we might as well take over some ore veins or some stores.

‘It was said that they recently discovered a large-scale ore vein of Dazzling Light Rock, that should be a good pick. They also have a few Magic Tool Shops and Workshops which have pretty decent business, their profits are almost comparable to alchemy medicine shops.’

Ofran hurriedly left, his head lowered as he was scheming his blackmail… No, as he was thinking of the suitable rewards he could get from the Charlotte Family.

The next day, the news of the Charlotte Family’s Patriarch falling spread. Not only had he died in the Merlin Family’s territory, it had been a righteous death as he bravely attacked a Demon that had just left the Abyss with no regard for his safety. Unfortunately, the Demon Overlord had been too powerful… It was at this time that the future Patriarch of the Merlin Family passed by.

Then, for the safety of the Andlusa Kingdom, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family promised generous rewards in exchange for the support of the future Patriarch of the Merlin Family before ultimately taking down the Demon Overlord with his life. Even his Family’s Magic Tool had been destroyed.

…

In the Black Tower, Harren looked at the report and immediately started laughing.

“That idiotic Charlotte Family actually tried to deal with Sir Mafa. Are they really tired of living? There is no need to go so far if you want to kill yourself, it would be a lot easier to blow up your Mana Whirlpool.

“Haha, what righteousness. Fight to the death with a Demon in order to protect Andlusa’s peace?

“Damn, who came up with it? Those old farts of the Charlotte Family should be too ashamed to come out.

“Hear my command, all collaborations between the Black Tower and the Charlotte Family have to cease. Mafa is inheriting the Patriarch position of the Merlin Family, we simply can’t offend Sir Mafa for the sake of the Charlotte Family idiots.

“Eh, there are no collaborations? Only a small shop? Even a small shop won’t do!”

…

Jouyi was frowning in the Cloud Tower.

“Didn’t our Cloud Tower just purchase a batch of Magic Tools from the Charlotte Family? Oh, send them all back. Reason? Just make one up.

“That idiotic family actually dared to collude with a Demon and ran to the territory of the Merlin Family to try to assassinate Sir Mafa, they are beyond help. Do not come in contact with those guys in the future or your intelligence will greatly decrease.

“Sir Mafa is about to succeed as the Patriarch of the Merlin Family. Help me choose a congratulatory gift, no, forget it, I’ll personally prepare the gift.”

On the streets, bards were chanting about the achievement of the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, but only ordinary people would believe it. Any mage with a bit of brain would understand what happened.

But no one exposed the matter. Ofran was even more reluctant to expose it. There was still three days before he would resign as a Patriarch, but he had already recovered four shops and an alchemy workshop for the Merlin Family. There was even two large-scale ore veins.

The Charlotte Family’s new Patriarch chose to endure and gave up on these things, he didn’t have much choice.

Now, everyone knew that the Charlotte Family’s Patriarch sacrificed himself in battle against a Demon. But they were well aware that everyone knew what happened.

But it’s not like they could say that the Charlotte Family’s Patriarch died while trying to assassinate the next Patriarch of the Merlin Family?

The new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family looked exhausted, but he was helpless.

“Patriarch, hasn’t this month’s tribute money decreased? Moreover, more than half of the orders delivered by our Family’s workshops have been returned for all kinds of reasons. Also…”

The newly appointed Patriarch waved his hand.

“Alright, put those matters aside and first prepare a generous gift. Sir Mafa Merlin is going to inherit the Patriarch position of the Merlin Family in three days, we have to handle this matter first.”

Sitting in his study, the new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family looked through the dense piles of information regarding Lin Yun with a bitter smile.

‘Damn old Patriarch, have you been led astray by a Devil? You actually went to assassinate that monster Mafa Merlin… You deserved to die, but you actually implicated the Family…

‘Have you not heard what that monster did in the Raging Flame Plane? He got rid of members of the Odin Kingdom’s Shadow Tower, yet that tower of mage assassins who are said to leave no enmity last overnight still didn’t try to take revenge. It’s said that a Heaven Rank powerhouse died and that the cause of her death might be related to Mafa Merlin.

‘Moreover, the Quicksand Tower, that legendary desert mage tower who rules the desert had had many casualties due to Mafa Merlin, but the Heaven Rank of the Quicksand Tower seemed to have a good relationship with Mafa Merlin.

‘As for the Raging Flame Plane’s most prosperous fort, it is under Mafa Merlin’s control, even one of the eight Beastman Tribes of the Raging Flame Plane has swore allegiance to Mafa Merlin.

‘It’s not like those damned Beastmen could forget their hatred of humans, right?

‘Even Heaven Rank powerhouses were eliminated by Mafa Merlin and he is only an Archmage… He is definitely another Santon Merlin…

‘That idiotic old Patriarch actually tried to assassinate that kind of monster. Even the Ancestral Land’s answer is only four words: He deserved to die!
