Chapter 1287

"Where is the alchemist who was lucky enough to survive before?"

Farrow was stunned for a moment, his expression moved slightly, as if he thought of something.

"In that count's mansion..."

"Check, the collaborators who came to return our gold-plated roses, and those who came to return the goods, are quite capable. Add these nobles to find the common connection between them."

After saying this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yun's eyes. After leaving a word to Farrow, he turned around and entered the demiplane.

"It's business as usual for the Gilded Roses. No matter who comes to return the goods, they will all be returned. But the list will be written down and the mastermind behind the scenes will be found out."

Entering the demiplane, Lin Yun saw Lord Xiaonian, who had been sleeping, floating in the air, with wisps of deep light surrounding Lord Xiaonian's body.

Master Xiaon had his eyes closed, but the one eye between his eyebrows was open. The deep light kept flashing in that one eye, and even the light around his body was constantly pouring into that one eye.

Suddenly, Lin Yun's expression changed, and he took out the ring possessed by Lord Xiaon, only to find that the surface of the ring also lit up with light. As the light flashed, the connection between the ring and Lord Xiaon became weaker and weaker. Finally disappeared completely.

Master Sean has escaped from the magic weapon? Have you lost your identity after being separated from the incarnation of the magic weapon?

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, and he immediately mobilized a large amount of magic power to pour into Lord Xiaon's body.

In an instant, Master Sean's transformation began to accelerate crazily. In more than ten seconds, he swallowed at least hundreds of bottles of magic water, and the light around his body also dissipated in an instant.

A giant wolf five meters long and two meters high appeared in the sky.

"Hahaha, Master Sean is finally free. He no longer has to be the incarnation of some bullshit magic weapon..."

Mr. Sean was floating in mid-air, looking up to the sky and laughing. The single eye between his eyebrows had layers of halos flashing constantly. It looked like an eye staring directly at fate, which made people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.

"Lord Sean, you forgot that the contract I signed was with you, not a magic weapon..."

Lin Yun's faint voice rang in Mr. Xiaon's ears. In an instant, Mr. Xiaon's grinning mouth froze, and he floated down from the air dejectedly.

"Damn, I really regret it. I should have scared you away, otherwise I wouldn't have dug a hole and buried myself..."

The original contract was made by Mr. Sean himself at the highest level. Unfortunately, Lin Yun discovered the trick, and in the end he tricked himself, and there was no way to change it...

Lin Yun looked at Mr. Xiaon with a smile. Getting rid of the identity of the incarnation of the magic weapon was definitely a good thing for the current Mr. Xiaon.

Because there are no restrictions on magic weapons, as a soul walker, Lord Xiaon can continue to make progress without being restricted by magic weapons.

The fused Eye of Disaster and the Eye of Doom, the one eye between his eyebrows has also evolved into the Eye of Disaster. Combined with Lord Sean's own power, it is definitely a disaster.

After replenishing a large amount of magic power, breaking away from the magic weapon, and merging into the Eye of Disaster, Master Sean's accumulation finally exploded, and he successfully broke through to the heaven level.

However, with Sir Sean's ability and the Eye of Calamity, even if he has just broken through the heaven level, killing a heaven level level two mage is as easy as playing.

As long as Mr. Sean takes a chance, he will be dead...

Originally, Lin Yun had other plans, but when Master Xiaon broke through and even escaped from the magic weapon, Lin Yun had other ideas. He took Master Xiaon out of the demiplane and flew quietly for thousands of kilometers. To the Earl's Manor in a small town.

Master Xiaon looked unhappy, but after following Lin Yun here, he also understood that when there was a fuss, a slight trace of magic appeared, and then disappeared after the magic, replaced by a trace of soul power.

A layer of power enveloped Lin Yun and Lord Xiaon together. After entering the heavily defended Earl's Manor, the defense here was almost like air to Lin Yun and Lord Xiaon, and had no effect.

I followed the road all the way into the Earl's Mansion. The alchemy array I encountered along the way had no effect. I met the three-headed hound guarding the warning. It is said that as long as any creature approaches, the three-headed hound can be found. This kind of three-headed hound has the three heads of hell. The monsters with canine bloodline seemed to be the same as Lin Yun and Master Xiaon who had not seen them at all.

After walking around for a few times, I finally found the real owner, the lucky alchemist who was said to have survived the attack of the gilded rose.

When he first saw this guy, Lin Yun's eyes flashed with surprise.

This guy said that his left chest was pierced because the heart didn't grow in that position. I originally thought it was just a bad excuse, but I didn't expect it to be true. This guy has a trace of some kind of elf blood, and the heart is growing in his chest. The centerpiece is not on the left side of the chest at all.

Lin Yun stood outside the window and watched quietly. In the room, the alchemist's face was rosy and he didn't feel seriously injured at all. There were more than thirty dishes of various delicacies on the table, and there was a smiling mage sitting on his table. opposite.

"Your Excellency John, how are you preparing for tomorrow's speech? Can you let other nobles deal with the gilded rose? It depends on tomorrow's speech. It was difficult for the earl to let you set up a lecture stage in the center of the commercial street in the city of Neverwinter. Speech..."

The alchemist's face was flushed, he laughed and waved his hands.

"Master Steward, please rest assured. I have already made preparations. Tomorrow, I will follow the agreement and make the reputation of the Gilded Rose completely stinky.

They are just outsiders from Andalusia. With the personal attention of the Earl, they are definitely dead.

We have signed a contract. I will definitely handle this matter. Please rest assured..."

Lin Yun stood outside the window and listened for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Earl? This Earl does not seem to be a noble family in the beginning of the Odin Kingdom, but just a noble. A wizard family that is not a noble title, but a noble with a personal title, would go to such great lengths to discredit the Gilded Rose?

This thankless task, without sufficient benefits, would he do this?

Lin Yun stood quietly outside the window for half an hour, and he almost had a clear idea. This alchemist seemed to be the alchemist under the Earl. He only found a small alchemy shop to work in order to frame the Gilded Rose.

An alchemist with the strength of a master would actually work in a low-level alchemy shop?

Is there a speech tomorrow? And they signed a harsh contract?

After the housekeeper left, Lin Yun looked at Lord Sean, who was standing on his shoulder in a palm-sized incarnation.

Lord Sean looked unhappy.

"It's just the soul of a titled wizard, and it's a fool bound by a soul contract. It's really boring..."

As he said that, the Eye of Disaster on Lord Sean's forehead opened, and a light without any fluctuations hit the alchemist from behind...

"Let's go, this guy will be finished tomorrow, just wait and see the show..."

Lin Yun looked at the alchemist with a trace of sympathy in his eyes. A first-level titled wizard was hit by Lord Sean of the heavenly rank with the light of disaster. Next, bad luck and disaster will befall him as if he was abandoned by fate. I'm afraid it will be more painful than death...

Lin Yun turned and left, and went back by the original route, but when he walked near the back door, he suddenly found that a bearded man wearing a white robe and a black headband appeared in the distance.

The person following the bearded man was the housekeeper just now...

A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.

This person must be from the Stone Kingdom, and from the Stone Kingdom's desert area.

He came to the Earl's Mansion in the middle of the night, and came in from the back door. If there is no problem, it would be weird...

When Lin Yun was about to get closer, he found that the bearded man suddenly looked at him with a bit of doubt.

"Sir Reynolds, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing..."

After the bearded man left, Lord Sean started to explain.

"The bearded man had a rare soul magic weapon on him, and he almost found it. His soul was protected by the magic weapon. I wanted to see his soul, and he would definitely find it."

Back in Neverwinter, Lin Yun added the focus on the Stone Kingdom forces to Farrow's investigation list.

The next day, in the center of Neverwinter's commercial street, this is the place with the largest flow of people in the entire Neverwinter City, and the Gilded Rose is located here.

In the center of the commercial street, a platform was built, and many people began to gather around the platform, because the place where the platform could be built must be a wealthy store in the commercial street that is going to release something new. It is very expensive to build a platform here.

At noon, when the flow of people was the largest, the alchemist named John climbed onto the platform with a pale face.

"Many people wonder who I am and why I am standing here. My name is John, and I am an alchemist in the Mage's Hut..."

John stood on the platform and told the story of how the Mage's Hut bought the fake universal core, how it was destroyed, how he survived, and even pulled open his clothes to reveal the terrifying fist-sized scar on his left chest...

Lin Yun sat by the window on the roof of the Gilded Rose, quietly watching the alchemist's speech with a sad face.

"This guy is going to have bad luck..."

Sir Sean held a bottle of magic water and took a sip happily, just like drinking a beverage...

On the podium, John's speech had reached the final stage. John's pale face turned red, and his voice sounded like a roar, as if he was very excited.

"...I want to stand up and let everyone know the ugly face of the Gilded Rose.

As long as I discredit the Gilded Rose, I can change my identity, take 10 million purple gold coins, and have two shops, and continue my life in the south of the Kingdom of Odin.

Fortunately, I have a little elf blood, and my heart grows in the middle of my chest. This feature saved my life eighty years ago, and now it can bring me a lot of wealth.

Hahaha, I discredited such a big shop as the Gilded Rose by myself, and I feel a sense of accomplishment. The stupid boss of the wizard's hut actually thought that I was just an ordinary alchemist, only at the level of a great wizard.

Stupid guy, he died with an incredible look in his eyes. He didn't expect that I was a titled wizard, and a master...

My speech is over, and the earl's promise can be fulfilled..."

Originally listening to John's speech, many people below showed expressions of shock and anger, and were aroused by John. But when the speech was coming to the end, when they heard John's words, everyone was dumbfounded. , a group of people stared blankly at John on the high platform.

And John's expression suddenly changed a little, as if he realized something was wrong just then, as if he said something he shouldn't have said.

"...No, no, you misunderstood. Those were not what I said just now. Damn it, I was controlled..."

Unfortunately, before John could finish his words, consultants emerged from his body, and all the runes quickly formed a slightly curled page of light floating in the air.

"No... no, I didn't violate the contract, that's what I said from time to time..."

John screamed in horror, and his body kept retreating, but the ray of light turned into a stream of light and entered his body. In an instant, the terrifying magic power burst out from John's body, and the magic power turned into a ray of smoke. Soaring into the sky, the aura on John's body plummeted directly to the magician stage in two seconds, and then continued to plummet crazily, falling faster and faster...

Within ten seconds, the magic power gushing from John's body completely dissipated, and he completely turned into an ordinary person. His face looked like he had aged twenty or thirty years in an instant. He fell to the ground, his eyes dull and muttering to himself. language……

"How could this happen...how could this happen..."

Outside the high platform, the faces of all the onlookers changed. Anyone with a little knowledge could see that John had violated the contract and suffered the backlash of the contract. Thinking about what John said just now, everyone understood that this This guy just came to discredit Gilded Rose, but he didn’t expect that he would let it slip, and he would suffer backlash from the contract...

Everyone who came with John was stunned. Who would have thought that John would say such a thing at such a time, and would be so stupid...

No one can think of the second explanation except stupidity.

Because even if he is controlled by someone to say these words, the contract will not immediately cause backlash. Only if John himself violates the contract will he immediately suffer strong backlash from the contract...

After the dust settled, Lin Yun no longer paid attention to what happened next. At least after this incident, his opponent would definitely not give up just like that, but Gilded Rose had time to deal with this conspiracy. After all, the accusations against Gilded Rose were All because of the destruction of that small alchemy shop.

Now that the truth has been revealed, and in this way, the accusations against Gilded Rose will not disappear immediately, but it will also ease a lot. This time is enough for Lin Yun to deal with the following matters.

And this is also an opportunity. Among the collaborators, there will be people who make a big show of returning goods and causing trouble. We just take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate those collaborators. After this incident, if we can still cooperate with Gilded Rose and support Gilded Rose, Then we can continue to cooperate well in the future, and the depth of cooperation can also be deepened.

After all, since the rumors emerged, Gilded Rose has not come out to explain anything. When someone came to return the goods, they also returned the goods directly at the original price, which seemed to confirm the rumors.

Lin Yun didn't care at all about what happened this time. There were also employees who resigned within Gilded Rose, and Lin Yun also asked Farrow to approve them all.

It seems that the Gilded Rose has acquiesced in this matter.

Whether it's external or internal, the hidden dangers can be cleared away at once. As for the other party's desire to obtain the universal core or even raw materials, don't even think about it...

The raw materials for the Gilded Rose, and even the raw materials in the entire Northrend world, are all in Lin Yun's demiplane. If the other party thinks that the Gilded Rose has found some special mineral vein, or some other alloy formula, take your time to find it. …

There is no possibility of the black grained silver being leaked. No matter how imaginative the other party is, they will never imagine that this is a brand new material.

There was no major reversal, and Gilded Rose remained silent, which surprised everyone. Farrow also integrated the clues detected, and the final target had three names.

One of them is the Roosevelt Business Alliance from the Kingdom of Stone, and the person in charge of the Roosevelt Business Alliance in the northern part of the Kingdom of Odin is named Reynolds.

At this moment, an unexpected visitor quietly arrived at the Gilded Rose.

Looking at the mage in front of him, Lin Yun's expression was indifferent.

Wearing a light blue robe, an unconcealable icy aura spreads out. His eyebrows and hair are all white. A third-level ice mage of the Heavenly Order has such aura and characteristics. It is obviously due to his own physical constitution. And not because of magic.

Moreover, the blue pupils, especially the big nose, and the body as strong as a warrior all showed that he was from the Kingdom of Ston.

The terrain of the Kingdom of Ston is special. It is generally a desert, half of which is covered by ice and snow all year round. There are two races in total, and the battle between these two races seems to be very fierce. At first, these two races were mortal enemies and fought for generations, but After the extinction of the Third Dynasty, small kingdoms were established one after another, and in the end the number of kingdoms became smaller and smaller.

The two ethnic groups that occupied the territory where the Kingdom of Stone is now had to put aside their hatred and merge into one kingdom. Only in this way can they remain until now. But now, although the fight between the two ethnic groups still exists, it is no longer It's life and death, and it's become a battle like competition.

"Mr. Dick came to the Gilded Rose. What's the matter?"

Lin Yun's face was calm. When he saw Dick, he almost understood what the other party was doing. He even understood who was behind the Gilded Rose the moment he saw Dick.

The Lincoln Merchant Alliance represented by Dick had its headquarters in the half of the territory covered by ice and snow in the Kingdom of Odin. The Lincoln Merchant Alliance was a merchant alliance that operated magic weapons. Its biggest competitor was the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance from the desert.

And the results of Farrow's previous investigation showed that there were three suspects, including the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance...

Dick had a confident smile on his face and spoke slowly without being arrogant or impatient.

"This time I am here on behalf of the Lincoln Merchant Alliance to discuss cooperation with the Gilded Rose. We can help the Gilded Rose get rid of its current predicament and help you deal with the black hand behind the scenes that discredited the Gilded Rose. Mr. Marfa, don't you want to know who is secretly dealing with the Gilded Rose?"

Lin Yun glanced at Dick indifferently.

"Is there anyone else besides the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance?"

In a word, Dick was choked back with a look of shock on his face.
