Throne Of The Apocalypse - Chapter 5
And so he waited, until the 20 minutes journey was about to end. But that
b.a.s.t.a.r.d was silent like a dead man. He rested his head on his hand as if he was in a deep thought. Youre just a mage apprentice, what could you possibly be thinking about.
Raymond couldnt wait any longer. He didnt know how many times his heart
has been smashed. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Why arent you asking your daddy for
advice. Cant you see your daddy waiting patiently. If you didnt ask your daddy
before we arrive at the golden rose, then when there is no one looking, Ill teach
you how to respect your daddy.
No, I must think of a way to subtly hint to him to ask me.
So, young master Merlin, did your teacher tell you the required formulas to
study before attempting to condense your mana vortex Raymond felt satisfied
after asking this question. After all that was a high level topic taught at the
academy.
Then he waited .
Raymond looked back and saw Mafa head was still resting on his hand while
he was in a deep thought.
d.a.m.n, thats too much. A mage took the initiative to talk to an apprentice, and
you just ignore him. Do you wish to die.
Young master Merlin… Raymond endured and resisted the urge to curse. And
reluctantly raised his voice and shouted.
Huh, what? Lin Yun came back to his senses “Oh, you asked about the
formulas,one need to learn before forming his mana vortex. Very simple,
Northrend formula is used to construct the vortex core, then Kidds formula is
used to calculate the movement of mana. If you have the chance, then itd be
better to learn Figaros formula. It can save a lot of mana when forming the
vortex.
After looking strangely at Raymond he asked Isnt this a fundamental
knowledge, every apprentice should know.
Raymond didnt know what to say. What did he mean when he said that was a
fundamental knowledge for apprentices.
I must think of something to humiliate that b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Raymond clenched his teeth, but unfortunately before he could say anything,
they arrived at the golden rose.
The golden rose was located at The Triumph street, the most prosperous area
in thousand sails city. It was the most crowded area in the city, where all the
luxurious commodities were found. Golds.h.i.+re only grew rapidly after Rogge
decided to open a shop in this street.
However, the decline of Golds.h.i.+re caused a commotion in the golden rose. It
became a deserted place, after the top 3 alchemists decided to leave and take
the most expensive materials in the shop. Their excuse was that Golds.h.i.+re
withhold their salaries, so they took the materials as a compensation, even
though the materials were 10 times more valuable than their salaries.
But it was the Golds.h.i.+res fault for withholding their salaries. The golds.h.i.+re
couldnt even pay Farions debt of 8000 GC, let alone alchemist salaries of tens
of thousands of gold coins.
After the workers left and took whatever they could get with them, the golden
rose now is just an empty sh.e.l.l. In fact, if the old butler didnt notice and stopped
them, then even the cheap magic materials would have been taken as well.
When Lin Yun entered the shop, he couldnt see anything. The shop that was
full of commodities, now is empty, not even flies could be seen. The floor was
covered in dust, and the air smelled like mold.
Thats too much Raymond couldnt help but feel pity. But still he held some
contempt in his heart. Do you still think this is the same golden rose of the past
that would shower you in gold. Dont kid yourself, the Golds.h.i.+re had already
fallen, and theres nothing you can do. Youre just a 9 level apprentice.
Raymond was waiting for the b.a.s.t.a.r.d to despair, so that he could laugh at him.
But after a while, Raymond couldnt wait any longer, because he felt something
was wrong. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d didnt react at all when he entered, he was neither
shocked nor despaired, as if he didnt see the situation. He didnt even shake
his head or sigh. He just walked past the empty shelves straight to the back
door.
Hey… Raymond wanted to say something but gave up, because Lin Yun was
walking fast and already left Raymond behind.
d.a.m.n, wait until this daddy find the opportunity to teach you a lesson.
Raymond, cursed in his mind, while clenching his wand and chasing after Lin
Yun.
From the back door to the left across the street, tens of meters away was where
the warehouse was located.
When Raymond finally caught up, Lin Yun was opening the warehouse with a
key. He stood in daze, while looking at the cheap materials in front of him.
Hey, you ran so fast Raymond wanted to complain but stopped when he saw
the look on Lin Yuns face. Was this b.a.s.t.a.r.d finally despairing. Look at how
cheap this materials are, not even worth 1000 GC, Do you want to use them to
pay off your debt. Do you think that your fat uncle is a philanthropist.
Raymond felt that his hard work paid off finally. But he didnt know that the
person in daze was thinking something different.
Lin Yun was restraining himself from bursting into laughing.
From the memories of Mafa, Lin Yun knew that this era was rich in resources,
But Lin Yun didnt think itd be to this degree. Look at these riches piled on the
ground.
Just look at those 3 boxes filled with crimson coral reefs, what concept is that.
In the final era, just a few of them would cause riot in Heather city. And that bag
full of moonlight sand, even if i dug out in the desert for a hundred years, i
wouldnt be able to dig this much.
Wait, whats this?
When his eyes moves away form the moonlight sand, a flash of light caught his
attention.
Is this a bar of the legendary magical iron.
Lin Yun swallowed his saliva, while staring at the s.h.i.+mmer in the corner of the
warehouse, this dark metal with violent magic fluctuations. If it wasnt the
magical iron, then what is it.
This was the first time, Lin Yun saw this metal. In the post apocalyptic era, this
metal didnt exist. The last piece of the magical iron was mined thousands of
years ago. People in this era could only know its description from books.
Magical metals are the gifts of earth. They carry a unique mana, that make
them easy to be refined into powerful artifacts. And if you meet a good
alchemist, you could even imbue it with advanced magic. Like the defense
tower that stood in the center of Heather city. It was the greatest magical artifact
in the history of Northrend. It allowed life to continue in a world that should have
been destroyed long time ago. Without the tower, the apocalypse would have
arrived 10,000 years earlier. The word miracle wasnt even enough to describe
it.
Lin Yun couldnt help but curse in his mind. This really was time of prosperity
and extravagance. The magical iron is thrown at a corner, the crimson coral
reefs are stored in boxes, and the moonlight sand is stored in a bag. They are
even called cheap materials.
Too wasteful.
Lin Yun swallowed his saliva before forcing himself to avert his sight from these
enticing treasures. He was like someone that has been starving for a few days
and then suddenly saw a table full of delicacies. It was already good enough
that he didnt scream. Even with his willpower, Lin Yun took a while to come
back to his senses.
Then Lin Yun started to move. He carried the 3 boxes of the crimson coral
reefs, then the bag of moonlight sand and of course a few bars of the magical
iron. He carried them all to the laboratory in the golden rose shop.
Raymond stood shocked. What happened to the young master. How did he
became abnormal all of a sudden. Is he schizophrenic?
Why is he tiring himself carrying these items thats not even worth 500 GC.
These items were the most common items in Northrend. Even if there were
boxes full of them, they were extremely cheap. And there is even no alchemist
to refine them. Did Mafa Merlin want to refine them on his own?
He is really schizophrenic.
Raymond was at loss what to do. If youre schizophrenic, why are you dragging
me into this mess. My father worked for Merlins family for decades and
considers this b.a.s.t.a.r.d his son. If i let him know this b.a.s.t.a.r.d is schizophrenic,
things will go south.
This daddy is truly innocent (TN: not sure what does this expression refer to)
