Although the scar-faced brawny man was sent flying by the sword, he was not flustered at all. This was because he could see that this kid only had brute strength, and his combat skills were not worth mentioning at all. The two-handed sword in his hand only knew how to slash from beginning to end. Although it looked shocking, in fact, it did not have any lethality.
He knew that all he needed was a little patience …
The scar-faced man had already thought it through. As soon as there was a chance, he would immediately arrange for his men to besiege the mage.
The corridor was narrow, and there was no protection from this brute force kid. No matter how powerful he was, he might not be able to withstand the siege of more than a dozen people. Moreover, looking at his appearance, he should only be a low-level mage. Otherwise, he would not have exhausted his mana with just one spell. Now, he still had to rely on this brute force kid to hold him back and buy time for him to recover his mana.
What was the difference between killing a mage who had exhausted his mana and killing a chicken? That was what the scar-faced man thought …
Then …
He heard Sean's roar.
This roar, full of violent breath, awakened more than half of the Sylvan Inn. At this time, Sean was no longer as simple and honest as before. His body, which was originally as strong as a black bear, suddenly became thicker. His dark face was crazy and ferocious. The originally simple and honest young man was filled with a bloodthirsty aura at this moment.
The scar-faced man witnessed this shocking scene, and the scar on his face suddenly twisted. Although he held the machete tightly in his hand, his feet had involuntarily stepped back. This was a subconscious behavior, just like how a beast would involuntarily escape when facing its natural enemy.
All of this was far beyond his understanding.
From a rookie with brute force to a monster emitting a terrifying breath, all of this happened in the blink of an eye …
"Go … Go!" Under unprecedented fear, the scar-faced man's voice was a little hoarse.
There was dead silence in the corridor. Only the hoarse roar of the scar-faced man and Sean's heavy breathing that was like that of a magical beast could be heard. The bandits seemed to be scared out of their wits; none of them dared to move a single step. They just stared blankly at Sean, watching the monster approaching them step by step.
Then, it was a massacre from start to finish …
In the blink of an eye, half of the dozens of aggressive bandits who had rushed into the inn were cut down. After going berserk, Sean was like a ferocious magical beast.
It was the same pure brute force, the same only knew how to slash, but when the brute force was amplified to the extreme, the power it brought was so terrifying. The two-handed giant sword swept past with a heavy sound of breaking through the air. Every slash contained endless power. There was no struggle, no resistance, only the purest killing, and the maddening sound of slashing. In an instant, blood splattered, dyeing the entire Sylvan Inn bright red.
Witnessing this terrifying scene with their own eyes, everyone felt suffocated.
The scar-faced brawny man was completely dumbfounded. He could only watch helplessly as this massacre unfolded.
The guests in the hotel were dumbfounded. They knelt at the door in a daze, forgetting to stand up.
The middle-aged man who claimed to be a Felan aristocrat did not even blink. His mouth, which had its gold teeth knocked out, was wide open. Blood stained his chin, but he could not be bothered to reach out to wipe it.
The coquettish maid's face was full of disbelief. She looked at the berserk Sean, and then looked back at the relaxed Lin Li. Her expression was as if she had seen an elephant get pregnant by a mouse.
As the blood-stained greatsword fell down once more, the last survivor finally fell. The previously clean corridor was now littered with corpses, most of them were still holding broken weapons in their hands. Blood gushed out from the huge wounds and slowly flowed down the corridor ….
In the blink of an eye, only the scar-faced brawny man was left of the dozen people who had rushed up to the second floor.
Until now, he still could not believe that all this was true.
The strength that he had always been proud of was so weak in front of this monster with a two-handed giant sword. Endless fear surged from the bottom of his heart. For the first time, he felt that death was so close to him …
When Sean slowly approached him, the scar-faced brawny man completely collapsed.
"Plop …"
Then, everyone saw the insufferably arrogant bandit leader kneeling on the ground. "Don't kill me … Don't kill me …"
The two-handed giant sword was on his neck, but it did not slash down heavily.
The Berserk Potion only strengthened physical strength and stimulated the desire to kill in the heart; it would not blind the mind of the user. Although Sean had killed more than a dozen people, his mind was still clear. After the two-handed giant sword stopped on the scar-faced brawny man's neck, Sean cast an inquiring look at Lin Li again.
"Mr Mage … Please … let me go …" The scar-faced brawny man was not stupid. When he saw the monster's gaze, he immediately understood that the mage who had been standing at the door was the one who could decide his life and death. So, the person he begged for mercy soon became Lin Li again.
Unfortunately, he did not understand who Lin Li was …
He was a person who killed a level-14 Magic Shooter without hesitation.
"It's too late for you to beg for mercy." After saying this, Lin Li walked downstairs without looking back. The Forest Shade Inn was no longer habitable. So many people had died overnight, and the smell of blood was too heavy. Living in such an inn would definitely cause nightmares.
"Ah!"
When Lin Li walked to the side of the carriage, another scream came from the inn …
After a while, Sean also came out of the inn.
After the previous massacre, the clothes on his body had long been soaked in blood. However, Sean had been hunting magical beasts with his father since he was young, and had long been used to seeing blood. Moreover, his family was not well-off, so he could not bear to throw away the clothes. So, he just left the inn wearing the sticky bloody clothes.
"Sean, change into this first." Lin Li searched in the Ring of Endless Storm, but could not find clothes suitable for Sean. In the end, he could only choose a Rune Robe for him to put up with first.
"Oh …" Sean took the Rune Robe obediently, and looked at it curiously again. Then, he tore off the bloody clothes on his body and put on the loose mage robe. However, his strong figure like a black bear was really not friendly. The originally loose and loose Rune Robe on him was like a thief's nocturnal tights …
"Just put up with it for now. I'll bring you to buy a new one in the morning." At that moment, Lin Li had no choice. Their figures were really too different. Now that it was dark in Blackstone Town, they could not find a place to buy clothes even if they had money.
"Mr Felic … The two bottles of potion you gave me …" After Sean put on the Rune Robe, there was some hesitation in his expression. He really wanted to ask what the two bottles of potion were, but he was afraid of angering Mr Felic.
"The yellow bottle is the Stoneskin Potion. It can make your skin extremely tough. The red bottle is the Berserk Potion. It can greatly increase your physical strength and stimulate your inner desire to kill."
"Oh …"
"Do you know why I asked you to do it?"
"I don't know." Sean shook his head very honestly. "I only know that Mr Felic's words are definitely right."
"…" Lin Li smiled helplessly, and did not continue speaking.
Even Gerian could not help but admire the talent of this honest young man. He should not be just a low-level adventurer.
Although nominally, Lin Li was only hiring Sean, intentionally or unintentionally, he still kept providing opportunities for Sean. There was no reason, and he didn't want any repayment. He simply couldn't bear to see Sean waste his talent, just like how Andoine had helped him on the Sunset Mountains.
Sometimes, the improvement of strength was actually so simple.
Nonstop battles, nonstop tempering.
For Lin Li, the night was a little long. First, he was tortured by Sean's snoring for most of the night. Then, he was woken up by the coquettish maid knocking on the door. Before he could return to his room, the people from the Bloodwolves Bandits came again … Thinking that it was not far from dawn, Lin Li was too lazy to find a new place. He just leaned his head on the carriage and planned to spend the night first.
"Mr Mage!"
Who knew that just when he was a little sleepy, someone knocked on the carriage gently.
In anger, Lin Li poked his head out of the carriage, and asked in a very unfriendly manner, "What's the matter?"
Then, he realized that the guy who disturbed his dreams was the fat man who had a gold tooth knocked out previously. Lin Li remembered that he seemed to have claimed to be a Felan noble just now?
The noble fat man saw that Lin Li's face was unfriendly, and there was a little fear in his eyes. He had just seen clearly that this mage's companion had killed more than a dozen people in the blink of an eye. He did not want to anger these two guys who killed without batting an eye because of a wrong word. Hence, he carefully chose his words, and then squeezed out a fawning smile. He asked, "Hello, respected Mr Mage, may I ask if you are planning to go to Alanna?"
"Yes."
"That's great!" Although Lin Li's attitude was cold, his affirmative answer still made the noble fat man happy. He came over mysteriously. "Mr Mage, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dugar, a noble of the Felan Kingdom."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Because I intend to hire you, and of course … your powerful companion."
"Hire … Hire me?" Lin Li almost choked on his saliva.
"Yes, Mr Mage. I am willing to hire both of you at a high price to escort me back to Alanna. After it is done, the remuneration will not be less than four digits …"
"…" Lin Li rolled his eyes. Remuneration not less than four digits? A thousand gold coins or two thousand gold coins?
"How about it? This remuneration is not bad, right?" The noble fat man's voice was a little proud. He thought that he would not make a mistake. Although these two people were very strong, they must be very poor financially. Look at this mage, his mage robe was old and worn, and he could not even take out a decent magic staff. As for his companion who was more powerful than magical beasts, there was no need to mention him — his leather armor had been worn for at least ten years. Although that double-edged sword had killed more than a dozen people, how could the fat man not see that it was all because of his strength? Even if he only used a wooden stick, he could stab those bandits to death.
With their financial situation, how could they not be tempted by the prospect of a thousand gold coins?
Mr Mage did not respond, and the fat man was not in a hurry to urge him. In his opinion, this was just a means to raise the price.
"Three thousand gold coins, what do you think?"
"Three thousand gold coins? You are too generous … "Lin Li's smile was a little sarcastic, but in the eyes of the confident fat man, this smile was full of overjoyed excitement.
"You agree?"
"Mr Noble …"
Just when Lin Li was about to refuse, someone came to the side of the carriage.
"Mr Mage!"
And this time, it was the low-level adventurer who had a few teeth knocked out. This fellow was even worse than the fat noble. The fat noble only had a gold tooth knocked out, but he had a few solid teeth knocked out. At this time, when he shouted the words "Mr Mage", there was still some air in his mouth, and it made Lin Li feel very uncomfortable.
F * ck, can't you let me sleep? Lin Li scolded in his heart, and the expression on his face was very unhappy.
"Hello, respectable Mr Mage." Blackstone Town was shrouded in night, and it was dark around the carriage. How could the mercenary who had his teeth knocked out see the expression on Lin Li's face? He only saw him rushing over excitedly, ignoring the fat noble beside him, and introducing himself. "My name is Hank, a member of the Silver Hand Mercenary Team."
"What's the matter?" Lin Li gritted his teeth, and struggled to suppress the urge to beat him up.
"It's like this, Mr Mage. I would like to ask if you are interested in joining the mercenary team?"
