"…" Lin Li was really going crazy. The noble fatty who intended to hire him had not even had time to walk away, and now another one came to invite him to join the mercenary corps.
"Mr. Mage, how about considering it? Our Silver Hand is famous for its benefits. We have a salary of 300 gold coins every month, and there are team rewards after completing missions. We also have a 30% discount on all internal purchases. Moreover, with the strength of both of you, you will soon be promoted to team leader. At that time, not only will your salary be doubled, you will also be able to command a large team of adventurers …"
The adventurer with missing teeth was talking eloquently, but Lin Li was drowsy from listening.
He really had the intention to kill now. After tossing and turning for most of the night, he had not slept a wink. It was not easy to kill the bandits, and now he was being harassed by these two guys.
Lin Li really endured and endured, so he did not blow them away with a fireball in a rage.
"Moreover, Mr. Mage …" The mercenary with missing teeth who was talking endlessly did not realize that he was in great danger. With a wretched smile on his face, he moved closer to Lin Li mysteriously. "Our Silver Hand is famous for having many beauties. Needless to say, the leader is a famous beauty in Alanna. The other team leaders are all beauties, especially the beautiful warrior who just joined the mercenary corps a few days ago. She has blonde hair and beautiful legs. She's so beautiful that it's scary …"
"Blonde hair?" Lin Li's heart moved. "And beautiful legs?"
"Yes …"
"What's her name?"
"I think she's called Ina …"
"F * ck!" Lin Li grabbed the collar of the mercenary with missing teeth and dragged him into the carriage. At the same time, he threatened fiercely, "If it's not for this person, you're dead meat!"
"…" The mercenary with missing teeth looked at Lin Li with disdain. Damn it, it's said that mages are guys with a pure heart and few desires. How could there be such a lecher? When he heard that blonde hair and long legs, he did not even want his life …
"By the way, that noble boss, aren't you going to Alanna?" Lin Li thought about it. Since it was the same to bring one or two, he might as well bring the fat boss along. "5,000 gold coins for a one-way trip. Do you want to go?"
"Go! Of course! " The fat nobleman did not say anything else and got into the carriage. In this day and age, hiring a few mercenaries would cost three to four thousand gold coins. Hiring two such powerful bodyguards would only cost five thousand gold coins. Only a fool would not do it …
To the fatty's surprise, the rest of the journey was peaceful. They set off from Blackstone Town at dawn, and Alanna was in sight in the evening. Not to mention bandits, they did not even meet a decent magical beast along the way. This made the fat boss very regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have set off alone. He had even spent 5,000 gold coins for nothing. It was too expensive to hitch a ride on this bus.
"Mr. Magician, the mercenary group's encampment is just ahead. Would you like to go over and greet them?" . "Morning, I, Li, I," the mercenary corps's Hand. "Li" to to "to see" to to to.
Actually, Lin Li also wanted to see Ina as soon as possible, but looking at the sky outside, he could only shake his head regretfully. "I still have something to do today, how about tomorrow? Tell me a place, and I'll come find you tomorrow morning. "
The official letter sent by the Alanna Association had stated very clearly that all the mages participating in this trial had to arrive within five days. Those who did not arrive within the time limit would be disqualified. Counting the days carefully, he had spent three days in Jarrosus, and more than a day on the road. If he had not reached the Alanna Association before sunset, Gerian's fat face would not look too good …
"No problem." The toothless adventurer was straightforward. "At noon tomorrow, come to the Adventurer's Guild to find me. I happen to be there to submit a mission."
"Alright."
With the crisp sound of hooves, the carriage drove briskly to the capital of Fran Kingdom.
Compared to Jarrosus, Alanna was more than a hundred times more prosperous. After a round of questioning by the city guards, the carriage passed through the towering city gate, and what appeared before Lin Li's eyes was a wide and straight road. The ground was paved with smooth stone slabs, and the horses' hooves made a crisp sound when they stepped on it.
"What's that?" It was as if Lin Li had returned to the first time he entered Jarrosus City. Everything in front of him was so new to him. At this time, he was looking at the sky with a face full of surprise. There were a few magical beasts flying past …
"Mr Mage …" The fat man in the carriage had never seen such an old-fashioned mage. In order not to embarrass himself with him, he had to whisper to the fellow, "Those are the Gryphon Knights of the Sky Guards."
"Gryphon?" Hearing the fat man's words, Lin Li remembered that Andoine seemed to have told him before that there was a level-13 magical beast called Gryphon, which was suitable for use as a flying mount after being tamed.
"No one cares?" But, Lin Li still had some doubts. The dignified capital of Fran Kingdom actually allowed people to fly around in the sky. If they were to throw something down from the sky one day, wouldn't it kill a lot of people?
"That's one of the Royal Guards of Fran, directly under His Majesty the King. Who dares to care about them …"
"Oh …" Lin Li nodded his head honestly, but in his heart, he was very envious of those fellows flying in the sky. He secretly decided that he must get a flying mount to play with some other day.
The carriage slowly drove into the city, and slowly moved forward along the crowded street.
With Gerian's familiarity with Lin Li, how could he not know that this fellow was a country bumpkin? He had already drawn a map of Alanna for Lin Li long before he set off. In order to prevent Lin Li from getting lost, he had even specially marked the location of the Guild of Magic with a red circle.
And now, Lin Li was staring at the red circle in a daze.
To be honest, Gerian was very thoughtful. Compared to Andoine, who did not even give him a map, this old fellow was undoubtedly more considerate.
But, the problem was that the map he drew was a little abstract. Lin Li could not understand it even after looking at it for a long time.
What exactly was drawn on it? Apart from a red circle, there were only messy lines. Lin Li could not help but scratch his head. "This … Is this east or west?"
"That … Boss Aristocrat, may I be so bold as to ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"May I ask where the Guild of Magic is?"
"Are you from the Guild of Magic?" The fat man who claimed to be an aristocrat was shocked. This young mage looked like a country bumpkin, and he was dressed shabbily. No matter how he looked at him, he did not look like a member of the Guild of Magic. Could it be that all this was an act?
"No." Lin Li shook his head very honestly. Lin Li shook his head honestly. Before he reported to the headquarters, he was indeed not considered a member of the Alanna Guild of Magic.
"Oh …" The fat man was relieved. While guiding Lin Li, he thought to himself, You scared me. How could a member of the Guild of Magic be so unsophisticated and poor?
Under the guidance of the aristocrat, Lin Li finally found a towering building.
The Alanna Guild of Magic and the Emerald Tower in Jarrosus were completely different in appearance. The Emerald Tower stood there alone, while here was an incomparably huge building complex. Just the main building alone took up almost a street. Looking from afar, it felt solemn and quaint, exuding bursts of mysterious aura.
As the carriage approached the main building, it saw an open door. A dozen mages in robes were nervously and busily going in and out. Lin Li stood on the carriage and looked inside. The guild hall was at least a few times more spacious than the Emerald Tower. A large group of mages was busy inside, but it did not seem crowded at all.
"Boss Aristocrat, I still have something to do, so I won't continue to send you off." As he spoke, he stopped the carriage at the side of the street. Regardless of whether the aristocrat agreed or not, he walked towards the door with Sean.
"F * ck …" The fat man cursed, but there was nothing he could do. That was the Guild of Magic. Would he dare to rush in and grab the person out?
Lin Li entered the incomparably spacious guild hall, but he suddenly remembered that he had no idea who to report to. So, he had to clear his throat and ask the mage who looked to be in his forties, "Hello, may I ask, where should a mage who has come to participate in the trial go to report?"
"Participate in the trial?" The middle-aged mage gave him a lukewarm look with some sarcasm. "You're from the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, right? You're here really early … Why don't you come after the trial is over? "
"Huh?" Lin Li was a little stunned.
"Which Guild of Magic didn't arrive a few days in advance for the trial arranged by the Supreme Council this time? Only your Jarrosus is the most promising, coming just before the deadline … "The middle-aged man finished with a blank expression, and looked at Lin Li again." Gerian must give an explanation to the Alanna Association about this matter. Now … Follow me to go through the formalities first. "
On the way to take Lin Li to go through the formalities, the middle-aged mage continued, "My name is Darian, but you'd better call me Mr. Darian, because I'm one of the people in charge of this trial."
Darian your mother … Lin Li scolded in his heart, but his face was all smiles. "Okay, Mr. Darian."
The trial procedure was not complicated. In addition to filling in the necessary information, Darian would arrange temporary accommodation and announce the points that needed attention for this trial.
