End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1076
Chapter 1076: Something’s Wrong
‘Morgan was so lucky. Would he still get so close to Mafa Merlin if he knew that he had been used as a test subject? Not dying was all due to his luck.
‘Forget it, Mafa Merlin didn’t come, and Morgan is acting like that. I might as well let that idiot regret it!’
Regret flashed on Dylas’ face as he indifferently said, “Sir Morgan, I think you misunderstood something. I didn’t come today for your so-called transformation potion. Isn’t it just Beast God’s Blood? As if no one knew about it…”
Dylas acted as if he already knew everything, and shock immediately appeared on Morgan’s face.
‘F*ck, how did that fool learn about the Beast God’s Blood? Sh*t, who told him? Damnit, that despicable guy must have been stealthily spying on us, or maybe he was listening in when one of my foolish subordinates let it slip!
‘But did that stupid Dylas come to threaten us after figuring out that the Beast God’s Blood is the raw material?
‘He is really naive! If all that was needed for the transformation potion was the Beast God’s Blood, wouldn’t everyone advance to the Heaven Rank?
‘Without Sir Merlin, even a hundred drops of Beast God’s Blood would be no different from a pile of garbage.
“What do you know, Sir Dylas? There are plenty of people that know how effective the Beast God’s Blood is, but in the end, only Sir Merlin can turn it into the transformation potion!
“Don’t tell me that you thought you could blackmail us because you know the secret? Too naive…”
Morgan looked at Dylas with disdain and ridiculed him, but Dylas proudly laughed, “Sir Morgan, you are the foolish one. Mafa Merlin is merely an Artisan of the Andlusa Kingdom. The Andlusa Kingdom is a backwater place, you should be clear as to how far they could go in the field of alchemy.
“Moreover, this is God Blood! Only the most ancient forces know the ways to refine it. Only they have ancient records of its uses.
“Mafa Merlin is only a young mage. An Artisan? Who knows how overrated he is? Only an established force like the Burning Tower is worth trusting.
“I’m already cooperating with Sir Dedale of the Burning Tower, and I only needed to supply one drop of Beast God’s Blood for research. I’ll ultimately have the results of the research and won’t need to pay any other costs.
“Moreover, the Burning Tower’s alchemists already reached a critical point, and most of their research has already been completed. It won’t take more than another few days before they can use the formidable power within the Beast God’s Blood.
“Once it’s successful, our side will have one more Heaven Rank powerhouse. Moreover, the method we’ll get won’t be like that potion that can only be used by one person with a very low success rate. We won’t have to worry about the Beast God’s Blood being wasted.
“After the alchemical device is completed, we’ll only need to obtain Beast God’s Blood to keep having mages achieve the Extraordinary transformation.
“Soon, the cooperation between our Shadow Tower and the Burning Tower will make our two forces rapidly gain Heaven Rank powerhouses.
“Even later, we’ll be able to continue using that alchemical device to let our 9th Rank Archmages complete their Extraordinary transformations and reach the Heaven Rank.
“Haha, Sir Morgan, you ought to know that every ancient mage force has many 9th Rank Archmages that are stuck at the boundary. As long as these 9th Rank Archmages can complete the Extraordinary transformation, our mage forces will possess a few, or perhaps even a dozen Heaven Rank Powerhouses. By then, let alone those muscle-brained Beastmen, who could even be our opponents in Noscent? Who could be our rival!?”
Dylas raised his chin and looked at Morgan and the mages in the surroundings with pride and disdain. He acted like he was dirtying himself just by standing in this camp.
Hardly concealed shock could be seen on Morgan’s face. He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out.
‘Damn, the Burning Tower also knows? And they are about to get results as well as create some alchemical device and not a potion?
‘Damn, that foolish Dylas… How… How could this be possible?’
Morgan was shaken by this news and couldn’t say a word, which made Dylas proudly laugh.
‘That fool, Morgan, is truly too naive. He actually became Mafa Merlin’s lackey for a potion with uncertain effects! No, that’s not just a potion with uncertain effects, but a potion with very low odds of being crafted successfully.
‘Who knows what kind of dumb luck they had? But in the end, it was successful the first time. However, could they compare to the Burning Tower?
‘The Burning Tower is crafting a piece of alchemical device that could always be used. I secretly heard the Burning Tower’s alchemists talk, and they said that crafting a potion is the simplest method, but not the most reliable one. Making an alchemical device is the only correct path.
‘After all, that’s Beast God’s Blood. Each drop is worth 100 Pseudo Heaven Rank mana crystals, and even I was only able to trade for one drop. The weaker ones might not even have enough for half a drop
Morgan’s heart was in a mess. He hadn’t expected the situation to develop to this stage.
Dylas rolled his eyes and smiled as he lowered his voice.
“Sir Morgan, I’m not here to laugh at you. After all, we are best friends that fought side by side.
“I have a better way, so how could I forget about you? You don’t need to be envious or regret anything.
“Sir Dedale isn’t a greedy leech like Mafa Merlin. At Mafa Merlin’s side, you had to pay a huge price for the sake of a bottle of transformation potion.
“Look at yourself! Not only did you need to use the Beast God’s blood, but you also had to prepare many other materials. You even have to give close to half of the mana crystals you are gaining. Are you really willing?
“After all, we are members of the Odin Kingdom, and we are also very close friends. As long as you come with us, we will welcome you with open arms.
“Sir Dedale will not make my close friend pay a disastrous price. As long as you have the Beast God’s Blood, you could go use the alchemical device developed by the Burning Tower.
“There would be no need to pay anything extra. Look, these are the most sincere conditions. This is something a best friend ought to do.”
Dylas patiently tried to entice Morgan, and unconcealable pride could be seen on his face.
He directly told Morgan that if he didn’t rely on their help, he could only be envious. But as long as he relied on them, the conditions and benefits would be a lot better than Mafa Merlin’s.
The confused Morgan once again looked at Dylas’ proud smile, and his anger instantly soared.
‘Damnit, that idiot is insulting me!
‘As a member of the Henry Family, our ancestors taught us that there is never a free lunch in this world. There is a price for anything, and the price that we can’t see is far heavier than the price we can see.
‘That fool doesn’t want to give me benefits; he wants to make me rely on him. Damned b*stard… If I go over, I might end up being treated as cannon fodder by that fool.
‘Going over there? That is an insult to the intelligence of the Henry Family.
‘That lowly trash wanted to use a trick like that to handle this great Lord Morgan… He is simply following the path to his own doom!
‘The proud rat is always the first to die. He is so stupid that he just stands there smiling!
‘You’d best die from arrogance with a smile on your face. Just don’t start a fight!!
Morgan was furious as he forced himself to reply, “Sir Dylas, thanks for your good intentions. I still have something to take care of so I won’t see you off!”
With that said, Morgan hurriedly departed and left Dylas behind.
Dylas had a glittering smile as he thought aloud, “Sir Morgan, you can come looking for me at any time if you ever feel like it. My promise will always hold true.”
The nearby mages started surrounding Dylas. Whether it was Lin Yun’s subordinates or the Henry Family’s mages, they all had terrible expressions as they looked at Dylas.
Dylas sneered as he looked at them and said with disdain, “These people would never have the opportunity to advance to the Heaven realm in their lives. They are just a group of pathetic weaklings…”
Dylas turned and left. He was followed by his two subordinates, who were being similarly arrogant.
“Sir Dylas, there is no need to pay attention to these people. They have no hope and might not even have the qualifications to use the Beast God’s Blood. There might not even be a single one that can advance to the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm.
“A group of trash, nothing more…”
“Sir Dylas, we don’t need to care about these pathetic guys. What could they get by following Mafa Merlin or Morgan Henry? If they followed Sir Dylas, they would have a chance of completing the transformation and advancing to the Heaven realm.
“In my opinion, Mafa Merlin specifically tricked all these piles of trash. Once Sir Dylas advances to the Heaven Rank, he’ll be able to get rid of all of those that resist…”
Dylas swaggered out, happily returning to the Burning Tower’s camp. Seeing that the alchemists were already making a piece of prototype alchemical device, Dylas suddenly laughed happily.
On the other side, Morgan hurriedly looked for Lin Yun after getting that news..
Morgan was anxious as he saw Lin Yun busy with his experimentation.
“Sir Merlin, there is no time to play, something’s wrong!”
