Chapter 1334 - Conquest (1/2)

“I walk on a thorny road. The thorns are stained with my blood. I reach for the bloody thorns, and weave them into a crown. May I be coronated with this crown at the end of the thorny road.

“I hope that you’ll remember the Thorny Crown’s vow in the future.”

Lin Yun shook his head, and didn’t say anything else to Myers. It was already kindhearted enough of him to rescue them. He was not interested in letting them work for him at all.

Those people had been notorious and despised by normal mages for a long time.

The conflict and hatred between the battle mages of Caucasus and the mages of Andlusa were due to their different ideology in magic. They had fought for so many years, even though the difference was trivial.

At this moment, many of Andlusa’s mages still hated the Caucasus battle mages. Luckily, there had never been a large-scale war between them.

As for the people of the Thorny Crown, they were hardly human mages anymore, and had deeper conflicts with normal mages. They had been expanding in secret and keeping a low profile, or they might have been eliminated.

This ideological difference and conflict was much greater than that with the Caucasus battle mages. Besides, the mages who had transplanted foreign bloodlines tended to have personality problems, such as Sheldon and Sunny, which left an even worse expression on the orthodoxy mages.

Lin Yun would be in a lot of trouble if the Thorny Crown worked for him, not to mention that the Thorny Crown was still in chaos…

Lin Yun ignored Myers, but Myers’ single crystal eye was glittering. There was still pain on his face, but it was weakening. He looked at Lin Yun’s back and the army of alchemy puppets on the ground with passion on his face.

It was nothing wrong to surrender to Sir Merlin with the Thorny Crown, which was already a mess and required cleaning. Those crazy guys would bring disaster to the Thorny Crown. All of this misfortune was because of the crazy idiot Sunny.

If the Thorny Crown was purged, it would definitely be damaged. The internal research of the Thorny Crown had stagnated for many years. They needed a leader that everybody respected and admired.

Mafa Merlin is even stronger than me. Also, he’s terrifyingly talented, and he hasn’t transplanted any other creature’s bloodline. He will surely grow stronger. His expertise in bloodline transplantation is even greater than mine. With his guidance, everybody of the Thorny Crown will be able to carry on.

Also, his subordinates are formidable too. Nobody knows that he has such a huge iron puppet army. All the 100,000 alchemy puppets are above level 30. He’s truly terrifying. I’m afraid that none of the organizations in the Odin Kingdom will be able to deal with him except the top ones…

Following such a man who is strong and knowledgeable is the best way out for us. However, he doesn’t seem willing to accept us. That’s a big problem…

Behind Myers, the members of the Thorny Crown gave silent agreement to Myers’ proposal. They were about to say something, but Myers stopped them. Instead of approaching Lin Yun, he led everybody to swear on their soul and magic power.

It prevented them from disseminating anything that happened in this plane in any way. They even had to keep everything about Lin Yun and his subordinates a secret.

As long as they leaked any information, their souls would immediately collapse, and their magic power would disperse.

Very few people could force a Heaven Rank expert to confess in such circumstances. Even if they were forced to confess, they would be stopped before they could finish.

Myers had expressed his sincerity, but he didn’t keep following Lin Yun. Obviously, he noticed that Lin Yun didn’t really like them. He could only stay aside, and treat his wounds with potions…

On the other hand, Lin Yun left the people of the Thorny Crown aside, and opened his Natural Demiplane, summoning a large number of alchemy puppets. A lot of machine parts were moved out and assembled in this plane. The mining puppets went underground through the caverns, collecting the magic crystals down below.

At the same time, many more alchemy puppets were building fortresses, exploring the plane, and collecting the plants that grew on the surface of the plane…

100,000 alchemy puppets sounded a lot, but they were not enough when they spread to the entire plane. All of them had been installed with a control system. They were manufactured for construction instead of fighting. It was easier for them to work in this plane than it was for human beings.

Seeing that Lin Yun had summoned so many construction puppets, as if he was determined to initiate a great development, Lord Shawn floated towards him, scared.

“Sir Merlin, is it really appropriate to do this? If we send so many alchemy puppets to develop this plane, the guy below the ground won’t go crazy, will it?”

Lin Yun looked at Lord Shawn as if he were an idiot. Quite a few seconds later, he replied, “Do you think that guy knows this?”

Immediately, Lord Shawn fell quiet. He felt that his intelligence had been insulted…

Everything in this plane, including the magic crystals, the plants and beasts on the surface, and even the special resources, didn’t matter at all to the monster. It probably had never noticed any of those things…

It was unaware of the value of those things or the meaning of trade. It simply knew that Lin Yun could give it more wisdom and strength…

Knowing that, it wouldn’t care whatever Lin Yun did in this plane as long as he didn’t hurt it. Nothing else mattered to it at all.

Lin Yun could develop however he wanted. The monster didn’t care or know what he was doing. It only knew that Lin Yun could increase its wisdom.

Lin Yun built fortresses on the surface, and looked for plantations that were suitable for plants and herbs, as if this plane belonged to himself and he could do anything he wanted.

In the future, when the mages obtained the plane, they would have to develop it when the monster was asleep. Whenever the monster woke up, they would suffer a huge loss.

In this situation, Lin Yun felt that it was a good thing that the monster woke up. It would’ve been terrible if the monster had kept sleeping.

If the monster were to sleep forever, although it would still be possible to develop the plane, Lin Yun would be much more restrained than he was at this moment. Currently, he could even dig the mana crystals of the highest quality in the spherical space.

Also, there was also a chance that the monster might wake up even if it was put to sleep by special potions. If it woke up after construction was completed on this plane, then the losses would be heavy.

The monster had woken up, and the situation was much better than expected. Lin Yun could develop this plane freely. As long as he didn’t destroy this plane, he could turn it upside down three times every day if he wanted too.

More importantly, the potion that could violently purify the soul would gradually imprint his blood and soul marks into the monster’s soul. It was even more perfect than a soul contract.
