End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1127

Chapter 1127: Discussion (2)

“No matter what you say, we definitely won’t withdraw. We definitely can’t give up on this array that is producing mana crystals!

“We are also aware of the Dark Night Phoenix, and it’s not the first time we have seen it. You don’t need to say anything. You might not be able to drive the Dark Night Phoenix away, but that doesn’t mean we can’t!”

Gallsworth started the negotiations by giving their bottom line. This was also a show of good faith. The other Beastmen had dark expressions, but they didn’t refute Gallsworth’s words.

Gallsworth looked very unpleasant as he said those words, and he was also shivering in anger.

‘This damned human is extremely troublesome. He could battle the eight of us by himself and could still last a minute. Moreover, it is said that this guy isn’t the strongest among the humans… He isn’t even at the Heaven Rank.

‘Regardless of whether he speaks the truth or not, we can’t take back the array as long as the humans are here.

‘These humans would definitely disturb us if we attacked the array. If we just sabotage each other, no one will be able to take back the array.

‘Moreover, this human has the power to destroy the Raging Flame Battlefield. Not cooperating at all isn’t an option.

‘If they offered good enough conditions, cooperation could be possible.

‘It was said that last time Beastmen entered, the Dark Night Phoenix hadn’t been occupying the array. It seemed that these magic beasts were unable to discover the array’s existence.

‘But they would come to snatch it after outsiders discovered it. As long as we could overcome the magic beasts here, we would have a steady flow of mana crystals.

‘But now, that Dark Night Phoenix is occupying the array, and it would be very difficult to take back the array with our power alone.’

Gallsworth discreetly discussed with the other Beastmen. They realized how awkward the current situation was. Cooperating would be for the best, and they wouldn’t suffer a loss…

Gallsworth showed his intent to cooperate and waited for Lin Yun to make an offer so that they could strive for more benefits.

But they hadn’t expected Lin Yun’s words to be so shocking.

“We’ll cooperate to attack the magic beasts and snatch back the array. We will divide the mana crystals evenly.

“But I have a better method. You want the mana crystals in order to trade for the Beast God’s Blood, while I can refine the Beast God’s Blood into a potion increasing its effects.

“I believe you understand that the raw materials’ effects are far from being able to compare to the effects of medicine.

“The Beast God’s Blood is the raw material, and the Golden Transformation Potion that I refine can display the power of the Beast God’s Blood to its pinnacle. Moreover, it doesn’t have the slightest bit of danger. The Extraordinary transformation process would become even easier.

“We can trade all the produced mana crystals for Beast God’s Blood, and I’ll refine them into medicine that we’ll divide evenly.

“As for who gets the first medicine, we can decide based on who contributes the most during this attack. Whichever side contributes the most will get the first medicine.

“This is a show of good faith. Whether you want to cooperate or not depends on you.”

Lin Yun had a sincere expression. This stunned the eight Beastmen sitting in front of him, and even Gallsworth was at a loss for words.

That condition could be considered very generous. It completely exceeded their expectations.

They originally discussed the outcome, and their lowest bottom line was to cooperate to attack the array and split the mana crystals in half.

As long as the offer didn’t exceed their bottom line, they would cooperate. Getting half of the mana crystals was always better than both sides continuously dragging the other down without being able to obtain anything at all.

But now, not only would they obtain half of the harvest, but they could still experience the taste of a potion.

No matter how arrogant the Beastmen were, they couldn’t deny that potions refined by human alchemists were great. Even if the two sides were at war, they weren’t completely out of touch.

There were always some people stealthily smuggling human potions to the Beastmen while Beastmen smuggled materials to the humans.

It wasn’t as if the major forces and Raging Flame Beastmen didn’t know about it, but that kind of trade was beneficial to both sides, so they ultimately turned a blind eye to it. As long as it wasn’t too excessive, no one would pay attention to it.

But the Beastmen never heard of the Beast God’s Blood being used as a material to refine potions.

But their superficial knowledge didn’t hinder them in understanding simple logic. The effects of raw material would be a lot greater after being made into a potion.

After no less than half a minute, Gallsworth nodded with a strange expression.

“Okay, human, I hope you’ll abide by your promise. But it’s fine if you don’t. Whoever broke the contract after attacking the array would be cruelly punished.”

Lin Yun smiled and took out a magic contract from his robe. The contents of the contract were already written on it.

And with the appearance of the magic contract, the last traces of doubt disappeared from the faces of the eight Heaven Rank Beastmen.

They knew how binding a contract was to a mage. If they violated the contract, they would be met with a penalty even more vicious than the Beastmen would mete out. It would be no different from death.

The contract was passed among the eight Beastmen, and none of them found anything wrong with it. At this time, Gallsworth signed his name as the representative.

Lin Yun signed his own name, and the magic contract disappeared in a burst of light.

“Let’s have pleasant cooperation, Sir Gallsworth.”

Lin Yun smiled and slowly walked away from the Beastman camp.

‘As long as all mana crystals are exchanged for Beast God’s Blood, all the Beast God’s Blood will pass through my hands, and they’ll be used to expand the God Fire Ember.”

Potions had a better effect than their raw materials. This was a universal truth of the world of alchemy. But no alchemist ever said that this was an absolute truth.

Potions tailored for humans had many effects that weren’t necessarily as good as if it was directly consumed, not to mention potions tailored for other races.

As for the Golden Temptation, it was clearly most efficient for humans, as the raw materials were deadly to them.

But to Raging Flame Beastmen, the raw Beast God’s Blood was the best. The effects of the Beast God’s Blood might not be as obvious as the Golden Temptation on the completion of their Extraordinary Transformation.

But the greatest effect of the raw Beast God’s Blood wasn’t the Extraordinary transformation, but rather the various hidden benefits they received.

Bloodline strengthening, ability strengthening, as well as many important, yet invisible enhancements that could make them walk even further on their path.

These weren’t in the Golden Temptation Potion.

To them, fusing with Beast God’s Blood to advance wasn’t too different from advancing by themselves. It was even a bit better.

But after taking the Golden Temptation Potion, no matter how talented these Beastmen were, no matter how high their comprehension was or how rich their bloodline was, they would never be able to walk the later part of the Heaven road. They would be stuck there.

Humans used the Golden Temptation to break through and could still turn back to establish their foundation. They could spend more time understanding the Laws, which would forcibly eliminate the side effects of the Golden Temptation.

To the mages of this era, the Golden Temptation basically had no side effects, because even if they lived to the end of their lifespans, they still wouldn’t be able to see the day when their side effects would appear.

After the Beastmen easily agreed to the conditions, Lin Yun returned to the human camp. Many people were filled with expectations as if they were about to watch a good show.

Dedale’s eyes flashed with apprehension.

It was truly inconceivable that Mafa Merlin was able to return unharmed from the Beastman camp. He had just sensed very powerful battle fluctuations, and there were quite a few Heaven Rank Beastmen.

But the battle fluctuations soon disappeared along with the Extraordinary Power’s aura. He originally thought that Mafa Merlin had been killed, but he hadn’t expected him to actually come back alive, and without a single injury.

‘Don’t tell me he is that strong already? He managed to escape a few Heaven Rank Beastmen using Extraordinary Power…’

On another side, the Odin Royal Family member who had been sneering at Lin Yun was now shocked.

‘He actually returned alive!? He wasn’t killed by those Beastmen?

‘Didn’t a few of them use Extraordinary Power just now? How can he still be alive? How did he return? And he looks uninjured… His mana fluctuations are also very smooth. What’s going on? What the hell happened?’

The group foolishly watched as Lin Yun flew over. Earlier, when the few Beastmen used Extraordinary Power, everyone argued whether they should go and save him or not.

But the argument lasted less than a minute before the Extraordinary Power dissipated. Everyone thought Lin Yun had already been eliminated, until he suddenly returned…

The expression of that member of the Odin Royal Family flickered as he pushed away the sneer and doubt to replace it with a trace of ridicule.

“Sir Mafa Merlin, didn’t you go ‘discuss’ with these brainless Beastmen? How is it, done discussing? Come, tell us the results. Let’s see whether these Beastmen gave up on the array or not.”

Lin Yun indifferently shook his head.

“Giving up the array is definitely impossible…”

Lin Yun didn’t have time to finish before the man started laughing.

“Didn’t you go speak with those Beastmen? Your discussion wasn’t successful? For them to let you return… There must be a problem with their heads…”

“… But they decided to give up half of it.”

Lin Yun finished the second half of his sentence with an indifferent tone.

All the mocking and the laughter instantly stopped. It was as if everyone had suffered from a Warlock’s Silence curse, and their heartbeats suddenly became a lot louder.
