<h4>Chapter 464: Reaching an Agreement</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>Shiraishi <strong>Editor: </strong>TheAlliance
The condition to use that Magic Tool was to be recognized by the Thawing Fire tribe’s ancestors. Otherwise, that item would be nothing more than trash. It was easy to imagine how depressed the ck Tower was after finding out the truth.
This was anotherughing matter after the Sun King Ruins.
But this didn’t end here. A few millenniater, that Magic Tool ultimately ended up in the hands of a Beastman from Noscent.
This Beastman was called Lusar, and he was extremely normal Beastman, but his fate changed when he obtained that Magic Tool. He was destined not to be ordinary anymore.
To be more precise, this Totem Magic Tool left behind by the ancestor of the Thawing Fire Tribe finally nurtured a Heaven Shaman.
He would end up bing the famous Heaven Shaman Lusar.
Lusar’s rise was quite terrifying.
He obtained that totem at the age of twenty when there was nothing remarkable about him. But at thirty, he was alreadyparable to an Archmage, and he stood at the peak of the Archmage realm at forty. At the time, Lusar’s tribe was faced with a crisis.
Lusar and a few Peak Archmages fought. This battle between powerhouses who had all touched a wisp of Extraordinary Power shocked all of Noscent. Lusar, who had just be a Peak Archmage, disyed the frightening power of the Totem Magic Tool and defeated those other Peak Archmages in one move.
Then, Lusar brazenly advanced to the Heaven Rank and led his tribe to campaign on every major ne, defeating one Heaven Rank powerhouse after the other. And the ck Tower could only be envious.
Naturally, Lin Yun wouldn’t let Harren know. He forced himself to hold back a smile. He was actually looking forward to Harren’s expression once they found the totem after the Thawing Fire Tribe was extinguished. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling sympathetic towards Harren.
Even if he knew what would happen, he didn’t dare to open his mouth. They would get 70% while the ck Tower would get the remaining 30%. In fact, he got quite a good bargain. He had been prepared to get the Merlin Family 50%. After all, the ck Tower would be putting in most of the effort.
He hadn’t expected such an oue.
“Merlin, for the details of the coboration, you and Weiss can take your time to discuss it. He is fully authorized to represent the ck Tower.” Harren frowned, an annoyed look on his face. However, he was inwardlyughing. He felt that this young mage was getting more and more pleasing to the eye. The first time, he traded the empty Sun King Ruins for an 8-Form Meditation Law Set, and this time, it looked like the ck Tower was suffering a loss, but the Ghost Valley couldn’tpare to a Peak True Spirit Magic Tool.
“Alright, Sir Harren, I’ll go back and make the preparations...” Lin Yun got up and once again shook hands with Harren. He then pushed the door open and noticed Weiss waiting behind the door. He greeted him and walked down the stairs. But when he reached the reception room, he noticed a familiar figure.
“Mafa Merlin, what are you doing here!”
That figure was the conspicuously oversized Wollings. He initially was smiling, but once he saw that familiar face, his expression instantly darkened. He suddenly roared with boundless anger.
What happened two days earlier could be considered the worst humiliation he’d ever suffered in his life. He didn’t feel ashamed even when he was fawning over Ofran due to the Charlotte Family being in decline. But that Mafa Merlin was only a youth of the Merlin Family, and when he was negotiating with Ofran two days ago, he kicked him out.
Back then, he had been unable to say anything and could only let himself be kicked out...
Remembering this made Wollings’ face turn red... He felt so ashamed!
When he returned to the Charlotte Family, he went to see the Thousand Souls Sacrifice and recounted everything that had happened. He had felt nervous all along, but he hadn’t expected that the Thousand Souls Sacrifice wouldn’t me Wollings and would instead give him even more support.
Wollings, as the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, naturally took the big picture into consideration and thought of the interests of the Charlotte Family. Although he very much wanted to kill the young mage, he still had to oversee the matter of the Frost Leaf ne and greatly increase the power of the Charlotte Family.
In fact, the Charlotte Family also upied a fort in the Raging me ne, but it was on a much smaller scale. After all, before they obtained the support of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, the Charlotte Family was still in decline, and with their financial resources, controlling a fort was already quite good.
After obtaining the support of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, the Charlotte Family aimed even higher, cing their sights on the Raging me ne. They intended to join the contest over the ne. Wollings first thought of the Merlin Family’s me Demon Fort, one of the Seven Great Forts. If they could obtain it, it would not only increase the strength of the Charlotte Family, but it would also weaken the Merlin Family. This was undoubtedly the best choice for the Charlotte Family.
Thus, a day ago, Wollings summoned a nar Legion and rushed to the Raging me ne. He heard that the ck Tower’s Harren was in the Dark Moon Fort, and thus rushed over. In his eyes, the ck Tower, as one of the top two mage forces of the kingdom, couldn’t be uninterested in the me Demon Fort. If they could cooperate to jointly attack the me Demon Fort, the oue would be easy to guess.
With these thoughts in mind, Wollings reached the Dark Moon Fort and asked for an audience with Harren.
But he hadn’t expected to meet that damned young mage just as he entered the reception room.
“You... You are Sir Suval?”
After roaring, Wollings noticed an old man standing on the side of the reception room. After a few careful nces, he recalled this person. There was some news concerning Suval three hundred years ago. He was a member of the Council of Seven of the ck Tower and had exalted status within it. Even with the Charlotte Family gaining the full support of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice and showing signs of rise, he still couldn’t be rude to this old Representative.
Recalling how he lost control a moment ago, Wollings felt somewhat apprehensive. He originally came in good faith to coborate with the ck Tower to deal with the Merlin Family. Even before departing, Wollings kept repeating to himself that he had to remain low key in the Dark Moon Fort. But once he saw that young Merlin, Wollings couldn’t hold back his anger. This kind of action was undoubtedly a provocation to the ck Tower.
‘Oh, right...’
But then, Wollings’ frown rxed. He recalled that the Sir Suval had been a young talent three hundred years ago, joining the core of the ck Tower as a middle-aged man and upying a seat as Representative, up until his magic path was severed by the appearance of Santon Merlin. Sir Suval then vanished from public view for a few hundred years before re-surfacing recently.
Wollings was all smiles as he remembered this matter. ‘Sir Suval must definitely hate the Merlin Family.’
It seemed that with him here, the coboration between the Charlotte Family and the ck Tower to jointly seize the me Demon Fort was already in the bag.
But, he still had to teach a lesson to that young Merlin.
“I am,” Suval answered gloomily.
Sir Harren showing his stance earlier was a terrible thing for him. If the ck Tower truly coborated with the Merlin Family, then no matter how much he hated them, he would be unable to draw support from the ck Tower to attack the Merlin Family.
Suval’s heart was unwilling.
While he was feeling depressed, someone entered the reception room and roared in a loud voice. This almost made Suval flip out. ‘Does that reckless guy not know that this is the domain of the ck Tower?’
Suval was ring at Wollings because of this.
“Hello, Sir Suval, I am the patriarch of the Charlotte Family, Wollings Charlotte...” Wollings smiled as he introduced himself. He then turned and pointed at the young mage who just came down the stairs. “Sir Suval, do you know this person? He is a member of the Merlin Family...”
Although he only said a few simple words, the amount of information contained within was huge. First, his identity as someone of the Charlotte Family showed that he had a huge grudge against the Merlin Family. Second, pointing out Lin Yun’s identity was to put emphasis on the fact that he was a Merlin.
“Oh, really?”
Sure enough, Suval’s gloomy face blossomed with a smile as he looked at Wollings. Although he had recentlye out from the Holy Land, Suval knew that the current Charlotte Family showed signs of reemerging. They seized the Frost Leaf ne a few days ago, showing outstanding power. Moreover, just like himself, the Charlotte Family ended up in such miserable state because of the Merlin Family. Their hatred towards the Merlin Family was no lower than his own.
Sir Harren’s previous statement seemed to indicate that he nned to coborate with the Merlin Family, which wasn’t good for Suval. It meant that there was no chance to make a move against the me Demon Fort.
But the appearance of Patriarch Wollings made Suval’s eyes shine. Perhaps with the help of the Charlotte Family, he would be able to deal with the young Merlin. It would be even better if he was killed. The death of the young Merlin in the Dark Moon Fort would inevitably infuriate the Merlin Family, and they might cancel their deal with the ck Tower.
