223 A Bit Troublesome (1/2)

In Solomon's eyes, everything was fine...

Last time, in the Ash Tower's Secondary Plane, that young Great Mage did something similar. He complied with Merlin's request for cover fire, and the young mage casually went over and dismantled the two puppets. How could it not be fine now?

Solomon was no stranger to Lin Yun's actions.

As a layman in the field of alchemy, how could he know how complicated alchemy puppets were? How could he know what kind of skill would be needed to instantly dismantle puppets? In Solomon's eyes, it was a matter of course. Weren't puppets the result of alchemy? With a Master Alchemist here so close to them, weren't they just waiting to be dismantled?

After returning from Oddrock City, Solomon had complained a few times to Thorpe, saying that puppets were truly too unreliable. If they could be dismantled so easily by alchemists, then the Sage Tower couldn't rely on them too heavily for the defense of their territory. Hearing these words, Thorpe had looked at Solomon with a rather strange expression.

It was natural for Solomon to think this way because of his time spent with Lin Yun and his inexperience when it came to the subject of alchemy.

But Suyass was an expert...

Moreover, he was an expert among experts, to the point that there weren't many people more skilled than him in the entire Andlusa Kingdom.

Solomon didn't know how complicated puppets were, but Suyass most certainly did. Solomon didn't know what instantly dismantling a puppet meant, but Suyas knew...

Suyass looked as if he had seen a ghost.

”High Mage Solomon, d-d-didn't you see?” Suyass was staring foolishly at the scene and wobbling sluggishly, not even controlling the Thunderstorm as he rubbed his eyes...

'There must have been something in my eyes, definitely…'

Suyas comforted himself...

But Lin Yun didn't even give him the opportunity to comfort himself. As Suyass rubbed his eyes, the Hasted Lin Yun accelerated and used the cover of Solomon's flashy spells to reach another puppet.

Then, his hands only softly moved twice more before that puppet stiffened and collapsed, scattering into a pile of components.

The remaining puppet was less troublesome. Lin Yun didn't even bother waiting for Solomon's supporting fire and used an Ice Fire Shield. He relied on the protection of the quickly rotating red and blue lights to rush through the magic rays and dismantle that puppet on the spot.

And after that… Well, there was nothing after that...

”Th-thi-this… This is broken….” Suyass' eyes were almost swollen from the rubbing. But as looked at the three pile of components on the ground, he almost went crazy.

'What kind of situation was that… How could he have done that so fast? Those were Vaughn's puppets, they had to be dismantled according to their original plan! How was this any different from sleight of hand?”

”High mage Solomon, yo-yo-you saw, right?” Suyass stammered before asking again.

”I saw, I saw…” Solomon casually answered and thought that Suyass was truly very sheltered for an Archmage. To him, this dismantling had seemed kind of slow. Yet, Suyass was almost scared into pissing his pants. What kind of expression would he have if he had seen what happened before in the Demiplane?

'How come such a person came out of the Mercury Tower? He is so weak-willed!'

Solomon made a mental note.

”It's settled, let's go.” Lin Yun had already finished picking parts out of the piles of components. It would be more appropriate to say that he plundered most of them, as every single useful component ended up in his spatial ring. After finishing, he noticed that Suyass' expression was a bit weird. ”Is there something wrong, Sir Suyass?”

”Nothing, nothing…” Suyass recovered upon hearing Lin Yun's question, but his gaze was extremely complicated while looking at Lin Yun.

It was normal for him to be bewildered. After all, Suyass was a peak Master Alchemist, and he was bound to enter the Artisan realm. Moreover, he was in contact with Nolan and Karon on a regular basis, so he had seen a realm of alchemy that regular alchemists could never hope to see.

Suyass then found out that this young Great Mage had attained a high level of mastery over alchemy. Otherwise, how could Merlin have helped him crack a Maze Array close to True Spirit level by casually pointing something out?

But Suyass had never imagined that it would be this high.
