Thinking of all that this spell might bring, Lin Li could not help but hold it tightly.
"How is it, kid? Is it worth it?"
Lin Li nodded repeatedly. "Yes, it's worth it …"
"Then how about doing us another favor?" Although Macklin's blacksmithing skills were terrible, he also understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot. Seeing that Lin Li was enchanted by the spell, the old fellow took the opportunity to add another sentence.
"What favor?"
"Help us build a magical weapon!"
"This …" Lin Li looked hesitant. It was not difficult to build a magical weapon. Anyway, these two old fellows did not have any pursuits. Any two weapons with magical attributes would probably be enough to get them off the hook. But Lin Li always felt that this matter was not normal. There seemed to be a strange aura from the beginning to the end.
Think about it carefully …
Let's not talk about the matter of two super powerhouses hiding in the house forging iron. Maybe it was a hobby, or maybe it was an interest. There were all kinds of strange things in the world. Anyway, even Aesim had many enthusiasts, so forging iron did not seem to be a big deal …
But an ordinary iron sword could be exchanged for a level-15 spell, and such a powerful level-15 spell at that. This made Lin Li a little puzzled. Macklin was not an idiot. Would he be so stupid that he could not even tell which was more precious, the iron sword or the spell? Lin Li had never felt that he had any domineering aura. As long as he shook his body, he could scare people like Macklin and Aldwin into prostrating themselves.
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!
Lin Li remembered this sentence very clearly.
"How about it?" Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Macklin was a little anxious, and continued to tempt him. "It's just a magical weapon. It doesn't need to be too powerful, as long as it has some magical attributes. Think about it carefully. As long as this matter is done, we two old fellows will definitely thank you greatly!"
Lin Li scratched his head, but did not speak. He wanted to hear what this old fellow's gratitude was …
"That's it." Seeing this, Macklin knew that empty promises would not work, so the old man gritted his teeth. "After you produce this magical weapon, you can make a request of us. As long as it's within our capabilities, the two of us old fellows will definitely help you get it done!"
"…" Lin Li got goosebumps the moment he heard Macklin's words.
One of them was a level-19 Archmage, while the other was a level-21 Legendary-mage. Given their statuses, the weight of their words was not ordinary.
This request meant too many things. As long as he was willing, he could even ask them to wipe out the Shadow's Nest, so that the Jarrosus Guild of Magic would no longer have to worry about enemies coveting the Demon Fall Valley.
"By the way … Let me make this clear first. A request is a request, and a trial is a trial. This is a trial arranged by the Supreme Council. No matter how bold Aldwin and I are, we wouldn't dare to put our hands in it."
Lin Li shook his head and denied his guess. "Of course, you have to rely on your own strength in the trial."
"So you agree?"
"This … Can you tell me the reason?" Lin Li hesitated for a long time, and his tone finally relaxed a little. To be honest, he was really curious about this matter.
"Sure." Macklin was very straightforward. "Do you know the Sword Sage of the Storm?"
"I don't know …" Lin Li was telling the truth. Ever since he transmigrated, the profession he came into contact with the most was mages because of Andoine. All along, he had only been concerned about things related to magic. As for the Sword Sage and the Shadow King, he really didn't pay much attention to them.
"You should know Aldwin's strength, right? The strongest level-21 mage in the Felan Kingdom. "
"Yes, I know."
"In the Felan Kingdom, the number of powerhouses who can compete with Aldwin can be counted on one hand, and the Sword Sage of the Storm, Al 'Akir, is one of them."
"So powerful?" He had always thought that it was enough to have one demon above level-20. He didn't expect that there was more than one such monster in the Felan Kingdom.
"This is nothing …" Macklin pursed his lips, and continued, "This b * tch is not only a level-21 powerhouse, but also the mastermind behind the Alanna Adventurers Guild!"
"…" Lin Li had a headache. This guy's identity was probably more ruthless than Aldwin's. What was the concept of the Alanna Adventurers Guild? It was the most deformed monster in the Felan Kingdom. It had an astronomical amount of money and millions of adventurers. Such a force was terrifying just thinking about it.
"There's something even more powerful …" Macklin shook his head, and looked a little depressed. "This b * tch is also a Smithing Master!"
"Very powerful!" Lin Li still didn't understand. "But … What does this have to do with me?"
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly."
Macklin rocked gently on the rattan chair, and told Lin Li about a strange bet.
It happened more than a year ago, when the Guild of Magic found a High Elves relic.
For any mage, the things passed down from that era would always be full of fatal temptation.
No one, including President Aldwin, was willing to let go of this opportunity.
Thus, the work of exploring the relic began in an orderly manner.
First, they searched for all the information related to the relic from the mountains of books from the Dark Age. Then, the Archmages in the guild studied day and night, trying to uncover the secrets from the massive amount of information.
Finally, the Guild of Magic found it.
The relic was the mausoleum of Highlord Osric!
And the key to open the mausoleum was buried at the peak of the Nightmare Mountains, guarded by a level-22 magical beast, the Lord of Flames.
That morning, under the leadership of President Aldwin, all the members of the Guild of Magic above the Archmage level were dispatched. Their target was the Lord of Flames at the peak of the Nightmare Mountains and the key it guarded.
But just as they climbed up the Nightmare Mountains, they suddenly found that there was a group of people eyeing the Lord of Flames — and this group of people was the adventurer team led by the Sword Sage of the Storm, Al 'Akir.
At that moment, even Aldwin was furious. He had worked so hard to research, but the results were stolen by others. Was there anything more annoying in the world than this?
But he soon found that the Adventurer Guild was even more furious than him, especially the Sword Sage of the Storm, who was so angry that he asked for a duel on the spot.
But fortunately, both sides restrained themselves in the end.
After the personal mediation of His Majesty the King, the conflict that was enough to shake the entire Felan Kingdom did not happen. Instead, it was replaced by a difficult negotiation.
Even Macklin himself only found out after participating in the negotiation.
All of this … was just a coincidence!
It was too much of a coincidence …
The two guilds discovered the ruins almost at the same time, looked for clues from the books at the same time, and studied the place where the key was buried at the same time …
The leaders of the two guilds were smart people. After the misunderstanding was cleared, things became much simpler. The two guilds quickly reached an agreement to work together to kill the Lord of Flames first, and everything else would wait until the key was dug out.
Although the Lord of Flames was level-22, how could the two major guilds of Alanna be an ordinary force? There were more than a dozen people who had broken through level-18 in the two guilds. After a day and night of fierce battle, even the strong Lord of Flames could not escape the fate of dying with a grievance …
With the fall of the Lord of Flames, the ownership of the key was naturally put on the agenda.
A huge rift immediately appeared between the two forces that had once fought side by side.
In order to get half of the key in each other's hands, the two guilds almost unanimously offered earth-shattering prices.
At the end of the negotiation, the Adventurers Guild even proposed that in the next ten years, half of the income of the Adventurers Guild would be given to the Guild of Magic!
But in the face of Osric's mausoleum, the power of money was really insignificant.
Thus, the negotiation reached a deadlock.
Finally, the Sword Sage of the Storm, who believed in force, made a suggestion.
The leaders of the two guilds would have a fair duel. The party that won the duel would have the right to use the key, and the party that lost would get a small part of the benefits from the High Elves' ruins as compensation.
To be honest, this was a very perfect solution.
But when it was put into practice, an extremely strange scene appeared.
The two guys at level-21 fought to a draw. They fought for two days and two nights, and in the end, one exhausted his mana and the other exhausted his physical strength. They actually fainted in the ring at the same time …
Things had developed to this point, and it was like walking into a dead end.
Fortunately … someone reminded them of something.
Apart from being level-21 powerhouses, one was a Master of Inscription, and the other was a Master of Forging.
