<h4>Chapter 175: Unexpected Guest</h4>

    “Ha?” Lin Yun suddenly froze. It was a truly neglected magic book. Almost no mages would be able to encounter an Elemental Spirit during their lifetimes. Unless they truly had the need for it, most mages wouldn’t bother even skimming through that knowledge.


    Based on this, Lin Yun was almost certain that Rudolph had already discovered an Elemental Spirit, and it was most likely in this Demine...


    Lin Yun thought about it and took – Key Points for Elemental Spirit Capture – from the bookshelf before casually flipping through a few pages. Sure enough, the several pages exining how to capture Elemental Spirits had been frequently searched through before. There were clear signs of wear and some finger traces could be seen among some lines.


    Seeing this, Lin Yun knew that he didn’t have to keep looking any farther.


    There was definitely a me Spirit in that Demine, and it was most likely an Upper Rank me Spirit. He deduced it from Solomon’s story about the whole Ash Tower being burnt to cinders. If everything had been burnt to the ground, even the Heaven Mage’s relics would have be ashes.


    “It’s unfortunate, there are so many precious magic books, but they can’t all be taken away...” Solomon’s spatial pockets weren’t much more spacious than Lin Yun’s, and sadly, there were too many books in the library. Solomon spent ten minutes filling the two spatial pockets with about three to four hundred books, but this was like a drop of water in the oceanpared to what was left in the rest of the library. If he didn’t look closely, it wouldn’t even be possible to tell that the stock of books in the library had decreased.


    “You should be happy with what you have...” Lin Yun twitched as he casually put the book in his pocket.


    “How about this, Merlin, let’s continue exploring. I have a feeling that we will get more rewards if we keep exploring deeper...”


    “The danger would definitely increase...”


    Lin Yun’s words made Solomon hesitate. “This...” He paused to think. It was true, the Demine Rudolph left behind did have a lot of danger. Just the entrance of the tower had an Elemental Summon. A mere library actually had two Mage Breaker puppets defending it. Who knew what danger they would meet if they kept searching?


    But Solomon was quite unwilling to give up...


    This was a heaven-sent opportunity. It wouldn’t be easy toe back if he missed it. And that group of scoundrels from the Ash Tower wouldn’t be passive. Once they found out the secret of the Demine, that Dusk Tower would certainlye whining, too.


    “How about we try a bit more? Twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, we will return, regardless of what we gain!” Solomon wanted to leave, but he was still a bit unwilling.


    “Okay, twenty minutes it is.” Lin Yun nodded and didn’t try to dissuade Solomon.


    Because Lin Yun knew that the true danger of the tower was actually underground, or else it wouldn’t be covered by such a fierce alchemy array.


    It could be understood just by looking at this library.


    It seemed huge, but when Lin Yun nced at the book, he only sawmon knowledge. To Solomon and the Sage Tower, this information might be very important, but those were just ordinary books to a Heaven Mage. The only particrly important one might be the – Mana Vine Breeding – and – Key Points for Elemental Spirit Capture –.


    Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been two puppets guarding this library...


    After they left the library, they made a circle around the 2nd floor. On the way, Lin Yun broke seven or eight arrays, but they didn’t find anything major.


    As they were getting discouraged, the two nned to stop the exploration and head back, when Solomon suddenly eximed, “Merlin! Come check!”


    “What?” Lin Yun followed Solomon’s finger and couldn’t help being surprised.


    mes were suddenly seeping out of a hidden door, about a hundred meters ahead of them...


    Mana fluctuations were slowly leaking, neitherrge nor fierce, but Lin Yun could feel that the Fire Elements within were iparably pure. These were a sort of mana fluctuations that Lin Yun had never met before. It felt as if he were suddenly looking at actual mes instead of just sensing mana.


    ‘Could it be...’ When Lin Yun thoughts reached this stage, he hurriedly fished out – Key Points for Elemental Spirit Capture – from his pocket and flipped to the pages mentioning me Spirits.


    “Merlin?”


    “Don’t press me, I have to check something first...” Lin Yun checked three times before feeling sure that he had grasped the key points and raising his head from the book. “Okay, let’s go.”


    Those mana fluctuations were too strange. The two didn’t dare to be neglectful and stood in the hallway, buffing themselves with all kinds of spells and abilities. Fire Resistance, Elemental Sharpness, Quickened Casting, strengthening themselves to the limits. Once they were done, they slowly walked to that hidden door.


    “Wait...” Just as the pair arrived a dozen meters away from the door, Lin Yun felt an icy aura spreading over.


    This was definitely abnormal.


    When the mes were seeping out of the hidden door, they actually carried out iparably pure fire elements. But how could the iparably pure fire aura suddenly turn icy?


    Lin Yun remained on guard.


    He sent a Mage Eye over. When the Mage Eye reached the door, Lin Yun’s eyes widened.


    Because he noticed a middle-aged mage fighting!


    ‘Dn!’ Lin Yun’s jaw almost dropped to the ground. A few hours ago, he had almost fought with Dn in the Ash Tower, and to his surprise, Dn was now fighting a group of Frost Elementals.


    A huge array was set up inside the room, it was a Teleportation Gate that covered nearly the entire room with its blue, flickering radiance. Now, a lot of ice elements were spreading from the center of the room, one after the other, rushing out of the Teleportation Gate...


    Those were Frost Elementals...


    They were Elemental lifeforms with strength equivalent to that of Great Mages. One or two wouldn’t be an issue, but more than twenty... That definitely wasn’t something to be trifled with. The concentrated attack of over twenty Frost Elementals wasn’t something a High Mage could easily deal with.


    Moreover, there were far more than twenty Frost Elementals in that room.


    At first nce, Lin Yun counted over a hundred, and packed together, they made the room look like an ice world.


    Fluttering ice and snow, whistling gales...


    Dn was simply drowning in an ocean of Frost Elementals.


    Indeed, even if the power Dn disyed was quite formidable, rousing the fire elements in the atmosphere, his staff continuously flickering as he kept incanting all kinds of spells, each of which would make a Frost Elemental copse, there was just too many of them...


    The huge array on the ground felt as if it had to lead straight to the Elemental ne, incessantly summoning Frost Elementals, one after the other, faster and faster. Its rate already surpassed Dn’s casting speed.


    “Fuck...” Lin Yun couldn’t help cursing when the Mage Eye entered the room.


    Sure enough, just as Lin Yun cursed, Dn retreated.


    Then, the three individuals froze in the hallway.


    Staring at each other...


    “How could you be here!” In the end, Dn was the first to recover.


    “Right, how could we be here?” Lin Yun awkwardly chuckled.


    This was too awkward...


    This was the domain of the Ash Tower. The two had snuck inside, but were caught red-handed by the master of the Ash Tower...


    Although Dn didn’t dare to offend Jouyi or the Magic Hand, he was still the master of the Ash Tower in the end...


    “Right, how could we be in here?” Solomon shamelessly passed the hot potato.


    But in his mind, Solomon was cursing Dn and his ancestors. ‘How can that bastard be so loathsome? I barely managed to convince Merlin to apany me in this exploration, thinking of getting so benefits, but in the end, a bastard like you showed up?’


    In his worry, Solomon’s thoughts became rather drastic.


    ‘Damn, what should I do now? Do I have to kill you?’


    But even if Solomon wanted, he unfortunately couldn’t.


    Solomon clearly understood that he only had around a 30% chance of beating Dn in a fight. Even if Merlin joined in, it would only increase the odds to perhaps 50%, by Solomon’s estimate. Dn wouldn’t be able to kill them, but he could easily escape. Once he returned to the Ash Tower, the two would definitely be in huge trouble...


    Dn actually didn’t need to do anything. He only had to disable the array outside, and at that time, the two of them would be stuck in the Demine forever.


    “Merlin, let’s go! Quick!” Solomon made a prompt decision, giving up on the Demine’s riches!


    Although the heritage of a Heaven Mage was very precious, it wasn’t worth risking their fate for it.


    But after saying this, Solomon still couldn’t help secretly cursing, ‘Fucking Dn, how is your nose so sensitive? Are you a dog? Howe you aren’t meditating in your room? Why did you follow us to this Demine instead? ...Forget it, regardless of why Dn followed, we still have to leave first...’


    If the two could get away, then they might be able to use the array as a threat to get some benefits from the Sage Tower...


    Solomon’s heart recovered as he thought of this, vigntly guarding against a potential attack from Dn while quietly pulling Lin Yun behind him.


    “Let’s go...”


    “No, wait...”


    At this time, Lin Yun’s eyes were still fixed on Dn and the previous awkward smile had already disappeared, reced by a faint sneer.


    “That’s a very good disguise you have there...”
