Chapter 1300
Neo bowed slightly, and his calm expression seemed to fluctuate a little.
"Lord Amy, Marfa Merlin is very powerful, far beyond his level. When he first came to the Kingdom of Odin, I couldn't kill him, and he couldn't kill me.
Even among the rock mages, my strength is relatively strong. There are few heavenly mages of the same level who can be my opponent, but I can't kill Marfa Merlin.
And he once dueled with Wilder, the head of the Rodney family. Although many people don't know the process, the winner is Marfa Merlin. Marfa Merlin's progress is very fast. Now he has at least the combat power of the fourth level of the heavenly rank. If you want to kill him, Lord Amy and Lord Sunny are the best choices.
But it's not easy to lure Marfa Merlin out. He hasn't appeared publicly in the past few months. The last time he appeared was in the Gilded Rose, and he has never left the City of Neverwinter."
Before Neo finished speaking, Sunny's face changed slightly. She took out a magic beacon. After sensing the information from the magic beacon, Sunny left in a hurry after saying a word.
"There is something very important at the headquarters. I have to leave Neverwinter. Neo, please ask your teacher to come forward. I am afraid that Lord Amy cannot kill that damned Marfa Merlin alone!"
Amy frowned and looked at Sunny who left in a hurry, and said nothing.
"Neo, please ask your teacher to come forward. I will create an opportunity for you to let Marfa Merlin leave Neverwinter, so that your teacher will have time and opportunity to kill that damned Marfa Merlin.
We will make that damned Marfa Merlin pay the price for what he has done. Anyone who provokes us must be punished by death!"
Neo nodded and said nothing more. He just looked at the direction where Sunny left, feeling a little confused.
Lord Sunny is the liaison officer of the headquarters and a key figure in external liaison. Why did she suddenly leave now? Did something happen to the headquarters?
It's impossible. How could something happen to the headquarters? There must be something very important to the headquarters. A guy like Marfa Merlin can only be regarded as a small matter. I'd better do my own thing.
The last time when Mafa Merlin just came to the Kingdom of Odin, the assassination failed, which has made Mafa Merlin alert. Although the idiots of the Rodney family and the Roosevelt Business Alliance have no way to kill Mafa Merlin, they are enough to disturb the line of sight. We can also do it ourselves.
It’s a pity that Mafa Merlin was not killed directly last time, otherwise there would be no later things. We must ask the teacher to come forward...
Neo thought about these questions and left quietly, and Amy, whose body was like a layer of light black and gray mist, also took out the magic beacon and quickly rushed out several seemingly inexplicable messages.
As time passed, Lin Yun’s backlash was completely restored, and this time, taking advantage of the backlash, the natural demiplane vibrated, Lin Yun personally sorted out the rules in the demiplane, and got more benefits, and his understanding of the rules increased more than usual.
Moreover, as the backlash turned into recovery, the level was unconsciously raised to the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank. There was no abnormality at all, and there was nothing unnatural. It was as simple as eating and drinking water, and it was naturally raised to the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank...
By the time Lin Yun noticed it, it was already the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank...
This was because his understanding of the rules had already exceeded the limit of the third level of the Heavenly Rank.
The accumulation of all aspects had exceeded the third level of the Heavenly Rank, but he still had not crossed that threshold. This time, a little backlash turned out to be a good thing...
After recovering from his injuries, the first thing Lin Yun did was to go to the small mountain where Agalon was. After climbing the mountain, he did not see any traces of Agalon. Everything was exactly the same as when he left. It seemed that Agalon had not returned yet.
Lin Yun was not worried that Agalon would have any problems. Although the power of the void beast was strong, it was still far behind Agalon. There might be other things.
Leaving a mark on the top of the mountain to tell Agalon that he had returned safely, Lin Yun turned and left.
Just broke through, although there are no troubles, it was quite smooth, but routine consolidation is still necessary.
Back to the Gilded Rose, Lin Yun returned to the natural demiplane again.
In the peaceful development, in the northwest corner of the Odin Kingdom, not far from the border with the Stone Kingdom, a caravan of the Gilded Rose transporting materials was attacked. When passing through a canyon, the peaks on both sides suddenly collapsed, and large pieces of rocks fell from the sky, covering the entire valley like a crazy mudslide in the mountains.
In less than a minute, the valley was filled up, and the caravan was almost wiped out. When the remaining caravan members rushed to the valley entrance, they found that two huge rock walls had risen on both sides of the valley, blocking all the roads...
Whether it was the escorted personnel or the escorted alchemy puppet team, they were all buried in this narrow valley...
Within three days, five suppliers of raw materials to the Gilded Rose were assassinated, one of the heads of the family died, and many strong men in the remaining four were not killed.
In the northwest of the Kingdom of Odin, the caravan transporting raw materials from the Gilded Rose encountered thirteen attacks within three days, losing half of the raw material supply...
Gilded Rose is now expanding faster and bigger, and the amount of alchemy potions sold every day is a huge number. The team of alchemists can hardly stop. This is the reason why Lin Yun deliberately stipulates working hours. You can never make enough purple gold coins, so it would be better to keep the quantity in short supply.
As the store expanded, the demand for raw materials became even greater. The Kingdom of Odin's current potion sales have exceeded those of the Kingdom of Andalusia.
In the Kingdom of Andalusia, the Merlin family was truly the most powerful mage force. In addition, they had very good relations with several powerful forces in Andalusia. No one dared to cause trouble, and the supply of raw materials was always available. no problem.
As for the Odin Kingdom, there is a huge demand for raw materials, so they have to find the Odin Kingdom's own material suppliers. Recently, they are also discussing cooperation with several large magic plant planting families in the Odin Kingdom.
But apart from this kind of thing, the negotiation will definitely have no results.
The supply of raw materials has been blocked, and the inventory of gold-plated roses cannot support it for too long. Even if the raw material resources of the Raging Flame Plane are used, there is no way to sustain it for a long time.
Because of this, Farrow's hair was almost turning gray. The people he sent out fought against the attackers on the caravan several times, but every time, not a single person was left alive, and even the corpses could not be left alive. They died. The corpse soon corroded and dissipated on its own...
Everyone could tell that the material supplier who was attacked was targeting Gilded Rose, but this person didn't follow the rules of the game and came directly to assassinate him. The head of a medicinal plant growing family was killed in less than 10 seconds. In three days, four material suppliers of Gold-plated Roses severed their cooperation with Gold-plated Roses and took the initiative to compensate a large amount of purple gold coins...
"Mr. Hughes, there is something very important to report to Mr. Merlin now. You should inform me first. When you come back, you will get three pieces of the latest noble dessert from Father Hans's cabin!"
Farrow got angry. This time he was looking for trouble. He obviously didn't follow the rules of the game. What he did was completely harmful to others and not self-interested. He attacked the caravan of Gilded Rose. This was to cause trouble for Gilded Rose. It's understandable. one time.
But assassinating the material supplier, or even killing a family head, is simply going to arouse public outrage. No matter who does it, if the material supply of gold-plated roses is cut off, he will not be able to get any benefits, and he will want to supply these materials in the future. Don’t even think about cooperating with other companies. Not only these companies, but also the forces that did this, it’s very difficult to find partners.
Hughes slowly ate the last bite of the dessert and then glanced sideways at Farrow.
"This is what you said. I didn't force you. Five pieces of the latest noble dessert!"
Farrow was stunned and opened his mouth. He was about to say it wasn't three yuan, but after thinking about it for a moment, he immediately changed his tune.
"Okay, five pieces of the latest noble desserts, and they definitely come from Father Hans's cabin, and they are made by Father Hans himself!"
Houston smiled broadly, his eyes narrowed to a slit, he flapped his wings and flew to the core of the gilded rose, and his body disappeared in a flash.
After entering the natural demiplane, Hughes flapped his wings and flew to Lin Yun's alchemy laboratory. When he had no body, Hughes was used to traveling in space. Now that he has a body, he feels that flying with flaps is quite good. Only by being an ordinary demon pet owl can you taste the most delicious desserts...
Flying into Lin Yun's alchemy laboratory, Hughes shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Lord Merlin, Lord Merlin, that idiot Farro came to you, saying that someone is looking for trouble, and he wants to kill them all!"
Hughes flew to the door of one of the alchemy experiments, stretched out his head and took a peek. There was still a little fear in his eyes. The bold Hughes didn't care about all other creatures and all dangers, but he was afraid of Lin Yun. Already...
Lin Yun quickly assembled an alchemy puppet, frowning, seemingly dissatisfied.
Hearing Hughes's cry, Lin Yun put the newly created alchemy puppet aside and looked at Hughes who was standing on the shelf nearby.
"what happened?"
Hughes shrank his neck, and his body shrank involuntarily, as if he had lost half of his weight. This was the black-feathered owl's instinctive reaction when it encountered an invincible opponent...
"Lord Merlin, that idiot Farrow didn't explain it clearly to me. He asked me to report to Lord Merlin. He must have been unable to handle it, so he came to Lord Merlin for help..."
Hughes subconsciously resembles a black farro, but stops halfway through.
Although that idiot Farro is quite stupid, he has gotten me a lot of delicious desserts recently. If this idiot is killed by Lord Merlin, who will buy me delicious desserts in the future?
Forget it, I'd better help him. After all, Mr. Hughes has eaten a lot of his delicious desserts...
"Lord Merlin, it is said that the people who came to cause trouble were very powerful, and they killed many people and destroyed many things. This is not Farrow's fault..."
Lin Yun ignored Hughes's inexplicable words, and his body disappeared instantly, leaving the natural demiplane. Seeing Lin Yun leave, Hughes's eyes showed a little horror, and he turned his head several times, as secretly as a thief. After leaving the laboratory and looking at Mr. Sean lying on a big rock basking in the sun in the distance, Hughes breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the natural demiplane.
Lin Yun appeared in the Gilded Rose, and soon, Farrow reported to Lin Yun everything that had happened. Listening to Farrow's report, Lin Yun's face looked a little ugly.
"Someone has taken action on the source of materials for the Gilded Rose again? Have you found out who it is this time?"
Farrow looked distressed and shook his head.
"Lord Merlin, this time things seem a little different. The other party seems to be just for killing people, and didn't steal anything at all. The lost goods were also taken away by the people who came after the caravan suffered losses.
I don't know who did this. After all, they not only attacked the caravans transporting materials, but also assassinated several families that cooperated closely with us, all of whom were the most important material suppliers of Gilded Rose.
The head of a material supply family was assassinated and died. The impact of this incident is very bad. No matter who did it, there is no benefit. Those material supply families have jointly released a high reward in the past few days, just to get a little information.
For a period of time in the future, all people who have contact with them will be listed as suspects. There are even two material supply families who think that this may be done by our Gilded Rose. Even if it is not done by Gilded Rose personally, it must have a lot to do with it.
So now the cooperation with Gilded Rose has been severed..."
Lin Yun frowned, and felt that something seemed wrong. This seemed to be a method that competitors could not have at all. This was simply completely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, affecting the material supply of Gilded Rose, but no matter who it was, don't think about getting any benefits now.
After all, when something like this happens, whoever benefits will be the suspect. Although it is hard to tell who did this kind of assassination, it doesn't matter. We just need to see who can benefit.
This kind of thing is too simple. Only a brainless person would do it directly. Although the Rodney family also threatened the Parkinson family, it was just a threat not to provide raw materials to the Gilded Rose. There was no such violent means to directly kill the head of a material supply family. No matter who it is, it is a violation of the rules of the game and will definitely cause public outrage.
You know, a material supply family cannot have only one or two partners, especially some families that can provide relatively rare materials. The big partners may have seven or eight. Now that the head of the family has been assassinated, the interests of everyone will be affected. This is really too bad.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly spoke.
"Whether it is the caravan or the material supply family that cooperated with the Gilded Rose, have they all been assassinated? Are you sure it's not bandits, but more like a killer?"
Farrow was slightly stunned, and seemed to remember something.
"Lord Merlin, do you mean someone bribed the assassin to do these things? Is it someone from the Shadow Tower?"
Lin Yun shook his head.
"It's not like someone from the Shadow Tower. The assassins of the Shadow Tower never have too many direct battles. The targets they assassinate are all to reach the destination with the least force. Among the people they attack, there seems to be no one who can use the power of shadows, right?"
Faro shook his head.
"That's not true. It is said that the head of the material supply family who was assassinated died not far from the family gate. It seems that someone has set up traps and illusion barriers in advance.
After the other party removed the illusion barrier, the body of the head of the family suddenly appeared. There were traces of fighting within a few hundred meters around. The opponent seemed to be a rock mage, and it was estimated that he should be at least the second level of the heavenly rank..."
Hearing the rock mage, Lin Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Rock mage? And there is also an illusion barrier?"
Faro was a little confused and nodded.
"That's right. After the illusion dissipated, the body of the patriarch was pierced by a thick rock spike and hung in the air. The traces of the battle at the scene also showed that the opponent was a rock mage."
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, and he remembered the assassination he encountered outside the Neverwinter City when he first came to the Kingdom of Odin.
The illusion barrier, the rock mage, plus this habit of killing people at the gate, if nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid it's the same person as the rock mage I met that time, and this incident was also caused by the other party.
And being able to do this means that the rock mage is not a particularly important person at all. If a big man who holds real power in a certain force, he will never personally assassinate a family of a material supplier. You know, the patriarch of that material supplier is only at the first level of the heavenly rank.
In the Kingdom of Odin, if there is no necessity, such a family that can cultivate a large number of medicinal materials will be indispensable to provide a large amount of raw materials. With their wealth that does not match their strength, I'm afraid they have been destroyed countless times.
If this incident had not happened this time, I would have probably overlooked it, because the Rodney family is mainly composed of earth mages, and at least 80% of the direct members of the Rodney family are pure earth mages.
After advancing to the heavenly level, they may move towards a branch of the earth rules and then specialize in a certain path. The number of rock spells in the Rodney family is definitely not small, which is the combat power of the Rodney family second only to the steel mages.
I originally thought that the rock mage was from the Rodney family. As the Rodney family gave in, the rock mage never appeared again, and I ignored the matter. Now it seems that there are other forces...
