Chapter 1345 - Discovery (1/2)

“What is it?”

Lin Yun looked at Xiusi, who was floating not far away. The owl had become so much fatter that it seemed to have trouble flapping its wings. Also, the cream marks on his face suggested that he must’ve eaten a piece of cream cake before he came to the Demiplane.

“Sir Merlin, Faleau is looking for you. He seems to have caused trouble again. The enemy he pissed off this time is formidable and brutal. He doesn’t know what to do…”

Lin Yun frowned and stepped forward from the pillar. He immediately reappeared in the Gilded Rose, where Faleau was already waiting for him.

“Sir Merlin, there’s something I need to report to you…”

Faleau told him everything in great detail, and Lin Yun listened with an awful expression.

“Sir Merlin, that’s what happened. What do you think we should do? The Holy Light Alliance is a problem. They’re not really the most reasonable people, and they’re very strong…”

Hearing Faleau’s report, Lin Yun frowned, and recalled information about the Holy Light Alliance.

The Holy Light Alliance could be dated back to the Third Dynasty, when the holy light mages didn’t really have a special status. Also, they were all controlled by the Third Dynasty, and were unable to establish an organization of their own.

Although the holy light mages didn’t have a special status, they were all over Noscent. At that time, potions weren’t nearly as advanced as they were these days, and only belonged to the top experts. All alchemists strove to make more advanced potions. Nobody was interested in popularizing the potions.

All herbs that didn’t contain mana were as useless as weeds in that era. Therefore, all civilians and low-level mages and swordsmen needed the holy light mages’ healing. They would go to holy light mages when they were wounded or sick.

In this age, even the civilians would buy potions after they got sick. A Magic Apprentice was already able to make effective potions for the use of civilians.

The powerful mages would buy potions when they needed anything too. Enhancement potions, mana replenishment potions, body strengthening potions, healing potions… All sorts of potions were available.

But back in the Third Dynasty, the holy light mages played an important role. For the Archmages and those stronger, potions were their solution, so the holy light mages didn’t have a high social status. But due to the huge population of low-level mages and swordsmen, they were still badly in need.

After the fall of the Third Dynasty, the holy light mages, who were unorganized and incapable of fighting, were the first to suffer. They didn’t learn to fight until then. Before that, they had only been studying healing and enhancement spells.

The Holy Light Alliance was founded by an ascetic after the fall of the Third Dynasty for the purpose of passing on the holy light mage’s knowledge. It was only an alliance at the beginning.

But as time went by, the ascetic never showed up again. The power of the Holy Light Alliance was controlled by different people, and its members gradually became as crazy as dogs…

Thanks to their craziness, the Holy Light Alliance had been rising very fast, but it was not nearly the same as when it was founded at the beginning.

They had pissed off more people during the thousands of years than anybody could count. They were not overthrown only because the ascetic who founded the Holy Light Alliance was still alive and very strong…

Although the founder was still alive, he kept the style of a real ascetic. He could stay in one place for hundreds of years without moving at all…

He would never intervene until the Holy Light Alliance was on the verge of destruction. Lin Yun was aware of that because in the next 3,000 years, the Holy Light Alliance would encounter several crises and suffer huge losses.

The ascetic never once intervened, but the powerful organizations knew that he was alive, and never destroyed the Holy Light Alliance. They simply cut off one of the Holy Light Alliance’s hands as punishment when they were infuriated.

3,000 years later, the ascetic suddenly came out of the place of his meditation, and disappeared from Noscent. Three years later, the word came from the space battlefield that the ascetic had died. Then, the Holy Light Alliance was destroyed in no more than a week. Its headquarters were razed to the ground by a level-10 spell.

Remembering the information, Lin Yun was less worried. That super expert wouldn’t intervene anyway unless the Holy Light Alliance was truly to be destroyed. The crazy dogs of the Holy Light Alliance were only counting on the level-9 Heaven Rank ascetic who didn’t care about anything…

Damn it. Did they think that only they had a powerful supporter? In the next 10 years or so, Agalon would be surely safe, and could definitely crush that ascetic. The gap between them was significant. The Natural Demiplane alone ensured that Agalon would have an absolute advantage.

Agalon was already able to change laws without igniting his God Fire, which meant that he could crush all the other Heaven Rank experts.

“Don’t bother those rabid dogs. They have offended countless people, and made a lot of enemies over the years. Do you really think they have any powerful supporters? Nobody is willing to attack the level-9 Heaven Rank holy light mages, because they can hardly be killed. Otherwise, the Holy Light Alliance would’ve been destroyed a million times.

“Our main focus is still the north of the Odin Kingdom and Andlusa. As for the south, just open one branch as you proposed. It will be good enough if we can strike deals with the southern forces and exchange for what we need.

“If the rabid dogs of the Holy Light Alliance dare to cause trouble again, just fight back. We won’t suffer any loss even if it gets huge. There are a lot of people who don’t like them.”

Lin Yun wasn’t too worried, but Faleau was.

The Gilded Rose hadn’t been developing smoothly in the Odin Kingdom, but all its enemies only set obstacles for greater returns. When the Gilded Rose showed its strength and promised copious returns, the enemies would soon change their attitude.

Take the Lodney Family for example. It wanted to swallow the Gilded Rose at the beginning, but after it lost its teeth, it soon backed off. If it had fought on, the Lodney Family wouldn’t have gained anything, but would’ve suffered a heavy loss. Seeing that the Gilded Rose was unstoppable, it came for negotiation again. It was only pursuing interests.

But the rabid dogs of the Holy Light Alliance were different. They didn’t care about interests or returns. Sometimes, they would bite crazily at the cost of hurting themselves. They were unreasonable…

Although he was still worried, there was nothing he could say. After all, Lin Yun had already made a decision.

Shaking his head, Faleau took out a space ring.

“Sir Merlin, these are the materials I’ve exchanged for in the past months. But many of the materials in the inventory aren’t available yet.

“The beast blood that you asked me to collect has been found. It’s inside the space ring.”

Transferring all the collected materials to his Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun was ready to go with the blood of the dark beast.

All the materials were for the construction of the Shelter Tower. The blood was from a beast named Blood Bone. Such beasts didn’t have bones. Their internal organs were simple too. They didn’t have what most normal creatures had, and blood was their bones and internal organs. They looked like blood that was wrapped in a thick skin. They were out-and-out monsters.
