Chapter 1191 (1/2)
‘That’s great, the Charlotte Family’s crisis can finally be lifted. I just have to get in touch with the people of the Henry Family and see if we can cooperate to free my Charlotte Family from its crisis. I might even be able to develop the Charlotte Family to be one of the major forces of the Andlusa Kingdom.’
Arnaud smiled as he went through the entrance of the Merlin Family Manor while Morgan bitterly smiled and landed on the ground. That Darkness Elemental God also recovered and was put away by Morgan.
Vexed, Morgan exclaimed after going through the door of the Merlin Family, “Sir Mafa, your way of welcoming guests is really special, only I could bear this kind of enthusiasm, others might not have as much endurance…”
Arnaud shook his head with a smile on his face.
“Morgan, you idiot. I told you to curb your aura. And how could you not control your brainless Darkness Elemental God?
“Really, you might end up killed when going through a powerhouse territory and I’ll end up implicated…”
“Yeah well, I was a bit too excited since I haven’t seen Sir Mafa in a while. My longing was as irresistible as a flooding river. You don’t understand Arnaud, this is called true character.”
“To hell with true character, you are brainless.”
Morgan and Arnaud quarrelled with no regard for others as they entered the Merlin Family Manor. The onlookers were already foolishly looking at Morgan and Arnaud cordially walking forward and hugging Lin Yun. Apparently that attack comparable to the strongest 8th Tier Spell was nothing more than a greeting.
Outside the Merlin Family Manor, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family was foolishly standing there, cold sweat trickling down his back and his smile stiffening.
‘Damn, those are two Heaven Rank powerhouses of the Henry Family, two Heaven Rank powerhouses!
‘They actually personally came to congratulate Mafa Merlin? And their relationship seems very good. Sh*t, which idiot gathered the information?! I have to get rid of him. No, I’ll kill them all!
‘Six Heaven Rank powerhouses came to congratulate Mafa Merlin, and three major forces of the Odin Kingdom dispatched people to congratulate him…
‘The old Patriarch was a blind idiot, he actually provoked that kind of monster…’
“Hahaha, Sir Mafa, I’m really sorry for being late. Would you still welcome me to something as big as your inheritance of the Merlin Family’s Patriarch position even though I came uninvited?”
The forthright laughing voice echoed as a silhouette appeared at the entrance of the Merlin Family Manor. The silhouette then walked through the entrance.
Outside the door, the eyes of the new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family turned black, he was completely stunned.
‘Azurewave Sword Saint! Damn, he has already advanced to the Heaven Rank yet he still personally came!
‘Sh*t, can someone tell me what’s going on? It’s fortunate that I was smart enough to come in person to congratulate Mafa Merlin, so fortunate…
‘Right, I have to hurry and go in. I just have to not let Mafa Merlin’s attention be on my Charlotte Family. I don’t want to end up like that stupid old Patriarch and die an injust death, I don’t want to become the sinner of the Charlotte family.’
The new Patriarch looked at the gift he prepared and then ground his teeth. He then took out a few kinds of materials almost extinct in Noscent and carefully put them into the gift box before entering the Merlin Family Manor.
He gave the gift to the person in charge of receiving gifts and ignored the others’ expression as he walked over with a cordial smile. He said a few congratulatory sentences from a distance, but remained tactful and didn’t get close. It was a social circle of Heaven Rank powerhouses, he simply didn’t dare to get close.
The new Patriarch followed Zeuss and sat down at a table. Zeuss looked at the nervously sweating new Patriarch of the Charlotte Family and a reminiscing expression flashed on his face.
‘Back in those days, I was like that guy and provoked Sir Mafa… Actually, this guy is even more unlucky than me, he has just taken over a mess. But if not for that, he definitely wouldn’t have become a Patriarch.
‘Sir Mafa is such a good person, as long as you don’t provoke him, Sir Mafa will never provoke you. And as long as you are a friend, Sir Mafa will do his best to help you.
‘If not for Sir Mafa, I would have already become a cripple, but now, I’m already a Peak 9th Rank Archmage powerhouse and I even have hope of advancing to the Heaven Rank.
‘I hope this newly-appointed Patriarch of the Charlotte Family has some brains…’
Zeuss patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging gaze, but the newly-appointed Patriarch shook in fear for a long time without figuring the meaning behind it.
The banquet started. The group of Heaven Rank powerhouses were at the center with Lin Yun accompanying them. He wasn’t paying attention to the people around them, but no one was dissatisfied. Who would dare to be dissatisfied when a group of Heaven Rank powerhouses personally came to congratulate Lin Yun?
In any case, wasn’t the old Patriarch Ofran keeping them company?
After the banquet, Lin Yun officially took over the Merlin Family. Since he promised Ofran to make the Merlin Family the strongest force in the Andlusa Kingdom, he had to make good on his promise.
The mage army was brought back and squeezed into the Merlin Family’s school to serve as teachers for the younger generation. Lin Yun subordinate alchemists were also transferred and entered the Merlin Family’s alchemy workshops to nurture the Merlin Family’s alchemists.
The Merlin Family had plenty of Apprentice Alchemists, but very few would advance and become true Alchemists. In addition, it wasn’t like there were many Alchemists coming to take apprentices here. The Alchemists hired from the Alchemist Guild would always hide some of the crucial parts when teaching and only taught ordinary techniques.
The alchemists from the shops under Lin Yun were dispatched to teach potioneering and he even dispatched Crowits to personally teach the Merlin Family’s Alchemists about puppeteering.
There were even some learning Magic Tools and arrays.
Every single corner of the Merlin Family was checked by Shawn. The spies and traitors that could keep their secrets in front of Shawn had yet to be born. These ordinary mages simply couldn’t accomplish this.
The informers of the other Families and the undiscovered traitors were all dug out and thrown into a mine to dig. Only the ones that could be trusted remained.
The Family’s businesses also started collaborating with other forces, the Henry Family in particular. This made the stores of the Merlin Family raise by at least two grades.
The Andlusa Kingdom still couldn’t compare to the Odin Kingdom in all fields. The same thing could be made in both kingdoms, but it would be a few times more expensive in the Andlusa Kingdom, while the quality would be better in the Odin Kingdom.
Many materials also couldn’t be produced in the Andlusa Kingdom and importing them from other regions was very difficult. Their price was also very expensive.
But now, the Merlin Family could procure a large amount of materials at a relatively cheap price from the Henry Family.
At this time, the Andlusa Kingdom’s forces all started competing to collaborate with the Merlin Family, even the Andlusa Royal Family extended an olive branch.
With the wealth converging, the younger generation of the Merlin Family obtained more and more natural resources and their strength naturally grew even faster.
Moreover, Lin Yun also established a library in the Merlin Family Manor. There was a lot of information written by Lin Yun himself, with the most precious being some Meditation Law Runes. There was as many as eight kinds of 13-Formulas Meditation Law Sets!
Currently, the younger generation of the Merlin Family might only have 5-Formulas Meditation Law Sets, while the core of the younger generation might obtain 7-Formulas Meditation Law Sets or 8-Formulas Meditation Law Sets.
Even Patriarch Ofran only had a 9-Formulas Meditation Law Set. There was only one 10-Formulas Meditation Law Set in the Merlin Family and it wasn’t suited for everyone’s use, only an extremely small number of people could use it.
Lin Yun wrote down eight 13-Formulas Meditation Law Sets and thirty 10-Formulas Meditation Law Sets…
