"Let me tell you, Brother Felic. When the time comes, the person assigned to our group will most likely be Sienna's Archmage." Mason's expression was unusually mysterious when he said this.
"How do you know?"
"Heh heh …" Mason looked around, and a wretched smile appeared on his face again. "My uncle arranged it. He's old friends with Sienna's Archmage. When the time comes … heh heh heh heh …"
"…" Lin Li was dumbfounded. These Guilds of Magic really dared to do anything for the sake of a trial. Sending a level-12 Magic Shooter to cheat like Gerian was already considered kind. Look at that uncle of Mason's, he did it even more straightforwardly. He tampered with the rules of the game and brought an Archmage he was familiar with into the team. What was there to do? When the time came, the Archmage would just step in and settle everything. Anyway, there were only these few people. If they didn't say anything, who would know what was going on in the middle …
"So … Brother Felic, don't worry and follow me, Mason. I guarantee that you won't lose out."
Mason smiled proudly, but he did not expect that the closed door to open again. A gloomy Orrin walked out of the room, and looked at Mason as if he was looking at a rare animal. After sizing him up for a long time, he said coldly, "An idiot who only knows how to daydream."
"F * ck …" Mason was smiling proudly, but when he heard this, he immediately stood up.
"Why? You want to fight?" Orrin stood there motionlessly, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on his face. "You think you're the only one who has an uncle, and that everyone else is an idiot?"
Although Mason spoke without thinking, he was not a real idiot, after all. He held back the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The Guild of Rotterdam has long received the news that the Archmages in charge of following the team this time were all sent directly from the Supreme Council. The reason why the Supreme Council made such a decision is to target people like you."
"What?!" Mason was taken aback. This was no joke. In order to get Sienna into his team, be it his uncle Morris or the Chevan City Guild of Magic, they had put in a lot of effort in the past two months. Just to persuade Sienna, his uncle Morris had given him several pieces of priceless magical equipment, including a magic staff that was worth at least a million gold coins.
If it was really as Orrin had said, and the Archmages that followed the team were all sent by the Supreme Council, then things would be really troublesome. It would be a small matter if the gold coins went down the drain, but it would be terrible if they messed up the trial …
Mason suddenly felt that his head was in pain.
Of his two teammates, one was completely at odds with him and would definitely start a fight within three sentences. The other was easy to talk to and had a personality that suited his taste, but his strength was too … Uncle was right; the Jarrosus Guild of Magic had really been in dire straits for the past two years. The one they sent to participate in the trial this time was actually a level-seven mage … And from the looks of it, he did not seem to have any powerful magical equipment on him …
This, this, this … How could this go on?
Orrin glanced coldly at the pale Mason, and then turned to leave the living room. Before he left, he left a message for Lin Li. "Your name is Felic, right? Let me give you a piece of advice: don't mess around with people like Mason. The trial is about strength, not intrigue. Otherwise, even if you complete the trial mission, you will still lose miserably in the final Guild Ranking Competition. "
"Huh?" Lin Li was baffled, but when he wanted to ask further, Orrin had already disappeared. Hence, Lin Li had no choice but to turn his head back to look at Mason …
"He's right." If it had been a while ago, Mason would definitely have bragged again, but the bad news that Orrin brought made him no longer in the mood to brag. Now, Mason only had one thing on his mind — how could he bring this bad news to Uncle Morris. As for Lin Li's question, he only gave a short explanation. "After the trial mission, a Guild Ranking Competition will be arranged, and the final ranking will be determined by the outcome of the competition. Alright, Felic, I have to go out now. I'll tell you the details when I come back."
"See you later." Lin Li nodded and watched Mason leave.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Li was the only one left in the house that had three people.
"There are three people living in a house, and all three of them are cheating. I wonder how the other teams are doing …" Lin Li smiled and began to tidy up his bedroom.
He had to admit that the Alanna Guild of Magic did a good job in terms of accommodation. Lin Li had not arrived, but the bedroom had already been tidied up for him. The room was spotless. There was a rattan chair in the corner, and a small wardrobe next to it. The bed was covered with white sheets and soft blankets. Although the bedroom was not spacious, it gave people a comfortable feeling.
Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm and took out a change of clothes.
Just as he was about to take the clothes out, he suddenly felt something familiar — the two crumpled rags.
Looking at these two rags, he thought of Andoine. He wondered how that old fellow was doing recently. Was he still blowing up the potion lab every day like before …
The last time he heard Old Grimm mention that this old fellow had been in Alanna. It seemed that he had to find Old Grimm for a chat some other day, and ask him about Andoine's whereabouts. This old fellow had fooled him, saying that he would return to Jarrosus in a week or two. In the end, he had not seen him for more than a month …
Thinking of Old Grimm, Lin Li searched in the Ring of Endless Storm again.
Before Old Grimm left, he had left him a ring, saying that he would be able to find him if he went to the Pharmacists Guild with this thing.
"When I go to the Silver Hand tomorrow, I'll go and have a chat with Old Grimm …"
After deciding on the next day's itinerary, Lin Li gradually felt sleepy. To be honest, he was really exhausted these two days. The long journey was already exhausting, and he even encountered a robbery in Blackhills Town. He did not even close his eyes for the whole night. Now that he was finally lying on the soft bed, he suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness …
…
That night, Lin Li had no idea when Mason and Orrin returned. He slept soundly in his room until dawn the next day, when he was awakened by a series of hurried knocks on the door.
"Felic, get up quickly!"
As soon as Lin Li heard Mason's voice, he hurriedly put on the Robe of Wrath and opened the bedroom door with a sleepy face. "Brother Mason, why are you up so early?"
"I can't help it, I was forced …"
"What's wrong?"
"All the mages participating in the trial must meet at the guild hall before nine o 'clock this morning. Those who don't show up on time will be treated as forfeiting." Mason finished in one breath, and looked at Lin Li with some doubt. "Why, didn't anyone tell you about this?"
"No …"
"Then who brought you here yesterday? By right, he should have informed you about such an important matter. This person is too irresponsible … "
"Probably forgot …" Lin Li smiled indifferently, but in his heart, he secretly remembered the middle-aged mage named Darian. Since the first meeting yesterday, Lin Li had a faint feeling that this man's attitude towards him was not normal. He felt that he was too harsh and too cold. They did not have any grudges before. Even if he did not have a good impression of Lin Li because of his lateness, it should have been over after a few words. Why did he play such petty tricks? He did not even inform me about such an important matter?
Lin Li could tolerate a lot of things, such as Mason's bragging in front of him, or Orrin's arrogant attitude, but Lin Li could not tolerate such petty tricks behind his back …
It seemed … that he had to find a chance to talk to this Mr. Darian.
Lin Li hurriedly packed up, and was about to go out when Orrin came out of the room.
This fellow still had that deadpan face that seemed like everyone owed him millions. He just glanced coldly at the two of them, and went out without looking back.
"What's with the arrogance …" Mason shouted angrily as he watched Orrin's back leave.
However, Mason seemed to be much more low-key today. After shouting, he did not continue to say anything else.
Lin Li secretly guessed that it was probably because Uncle Mason, who went out last night, had brought him some bad news.
When the two of them arrived at the guild hall, there were already many people standing inside. More than 20 young mages were gathered together in twos and threes and chatting. A little further away from them, there were a few middle-aged men in robes discussing something. Lin Li's eyesight was better. Looking from afar, he saw the guy named Darian. At this time, he was talking to an elder with white hair and a white beard. He looked very respectful, unlike the cold words he had when they first met yesterday.
"Big Brother Mason, do you know who that person is?" Lin Li quietly asked Mason, who was beside him.
"You mean the one with the white beard?" Mason looked at Lin Li with some doubt. "Brother Felic, are you serious? You don't even know him?"
