The Guild of Magic was located at the southern end of Jarrosus City. It was a huge building not inferior to the Adventurers Guild. In Jarrosus City, the Guild of Magic was also known as the Emerald Tower. Looking from afar on the street, one could see the tall spire of the tower.
Lin Li asked a few passers-by on the way, and soon found the direction to the Emerald Tower.
Compared to the bustling Adventurers Guild, the Emerald Tower was unusually quiet. Lin Li stood outside the door for a long time, but he did not hear a single sound. There was only a faint magical wave coming from the tower. This magical wave made Lin Li feel majestic and mysterious, as if he was facing an insurmountable mountain.
Walking into the Emerald Tower from the door, there was also a spacious hall inside.
However, at a glance, the hall was empty, and not a single person could be seen.
"What's going on …"
Lin Li was standing at the door in a daze when he suddenly heard a quarrel coming from upstairs.
"The City of Shadows wants the control of the Demon Fall Valley? Sure! But you'd better be prepared to bleed! " An enraged roar came from upstairs. Lin Li looked up, and saw a round gray figure.
"President Gerian, you're too irrational …" The person who was being chased out of the door by the figure was a middle-aged man in his forties. This middle-aged man wore a tight black leather armor and exuded a strong smell of blood. When he turned his head, Lin Li suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Wait … President Gerian?
Lin Li suddenly remembered that the name the middle-aged man had shouted earlier seemed to be the person Andoine wanted him to find.
Thinking of this, Lin Li couldn't help but take another look at the fat figure.
It was only then that Lin Li noticed that the figure in the gray mage robe looked old. He had a kind countenance, fair, and chubby. Even when he was angry, he looked like he was smiling. Lin Li felt a little dizzy. This fat old man who looked more like a businessman than a mage was actually the president of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, the Archmage Gerian!
"President Gerian, you're really too irrational. Rejecting the friendship of the Shadow City will only bring disaster to the Jarrosus Guild of Magic." After saying that, the middle-aged man left the Emerald Tower without turning back. However, when he passed by Lin Li, he glanced at Lin Li again. The feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake made Lin Li's heart clench for no reason.
"How come this person doesn't make any sound when he walks? Is he possessed by a ghost?" Lin Li was not someone who was willing to suffer losses. He felt very uncomfortable being stared at by that gaze, and naturally cursed in his heart.
"Come if you have the guts! As long as you dare to touch the Demon Fall Valley, I will chop off your claws! " Who knew that there would be someone even more infuriated. The middle-aged man had already walked far away, but the chubby old man was still yelling and scolding. After a while, he finally noticed that there was someone else in the hall. The chubby old man frowned and stared at Lin Li. "Who are you?"
"You're President Gerian, right?" Lin Li hurriedly rummaged through his pocket, took out Andoine's letter, and handed it over. "My name is Felic. It was Mage Andoine who asked me to look for you. This is a letter he wrote for you."
"It's that old fellow Andoine!" The chubby old man's eyes lit up when he heard Andoine's name, and the frown on his face smoothed out. The smile on his chubby face made him look like an amiable businessman. "Where's that old fellow? Why are you the only one here? "
"Mage Andoine said that he still has some matters to attend to, and will only be back in Jarrosus City in a week or two."
"Oh …" Gerian nodded and began to read the letter in his hand.
Although Andoine was a member of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, this old fellow had always been obsessed with pharmaceutics. He had never done anything serious in the decades he was in the guild. Occasionally, he would show up, but it was mostly to ask for materials and formulas. What was going on today, for this old fellow to write a letter of introduction for someone …
But as he read, the chubby mage's expression changed. His eyes, which had been squinting with a smile, widened to the size of a cow's eyes. As he read the letter in his hand, he raised his head to look at Lin Li. In the end, even the hand holding the letter seemed to be trembling.
This, this, this … If it was really like what was written in the letter, was this kid still human?
Listen to what that old fellow said — a magical talent comparable to the God of Mages, Geresco!
When he saw this sentence, the pupils of the chubby old man dilated. He had grown up listening to the legend of the God of Mages. Gerian could even close his eyes and count the things that the greatest mage of the Dark Ages had done. The only mortal who could fight against the gods, the legend that wiped out the High Elves' Magic Legion with his own strength — Gerian had always felt that such a person should only appear in myths.
If someone else had said this, Gerian would have thought it was a joke. But he knew very well that Andoine had always been a man of his words. He had lived for more than a hundred years, and had never boasted once.
"I've found a treasure, I've found a treasure …" Although Gerian's eyes were still on the letter, his heart was already blooming with joy. Now, he really wanted to pick up the letter and kiss it a few times. The Jarrosus Guild of Magic had been down and out for decades, and finally had a chance to turn things around!
But before the chubby old man could finish his joy, another paragraph jumped into his eyes.
"Besides, he is also a Master of Pharmaceutics …"
"Master of Pharmaceutics … What a joke!" Gerian rubbed his eyes desperately, thinking that he had seen wrongly.
After rubbing his eyes, Gerian picked up the letter again to read …
F * ck! It's really a Master of Pharmaceutics!
Gerian was completely dumbfounded. This, this, this … This is even scarier than a magic genius!
In the 1300 years after the Dark Ages, who had seen a Master of Pharmaceutics below the age of 70? Gerian quietly peeked out from the letter and carefully sized up this young man called Felic. The mage robe looked a little shabby, but the magical wave emitted from it was unusually clear. With Gerian's eyes, he could tell at a glance that this was not an ordinary magical item. The person was tall and thin, and there was still a hint of childishness on his face. Looking at his age, he was probably not more than 20 years old …
And it was written in the letter that the strength of this young Master of Pharmaceutics was not inferior to anyone in the Pharmacists Guild!
I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich … I'm really rich this time!
A Master of Pharmaceutics who was not even 20 years old — just the thought of it made Gerian tremble with excitement. From now on, what is the Pharmacists Guild? I don't have to go begging for a few bottles of lousy potions anymore, and I don't have to deal with those arrogant pharmacists. Damn it, they are all so arrogant even though their standards are not high. Now that I have a Master of Pharmaceutics, do I still need to look at their faces?
"Mage Felic, is it?" After reading the entire letter, the fat old man had completely gone crazy. His gaze on Lin Li was even more piercing, making Lin Li's back feel a chill for no reason. "Andoine told me about your situation in the letter. According to him, you don't seem to have gone through the level certification, right?"
"Level certification?"
Seeing Lin Li's doubtful gaze, Gerian knew that he had said nonsense. He could not help but slap himself gloomily and scold himself for being a fool. This kid had only been in contact with magic for two to three months, and had been learning from Andoine. How would he know what level certification was?
"To put it simply, it is to confirm your magic level. I personally think that it is very necessary for you, because only after you have gone through the level certification will you be able to obtain spells of the corresponding level from the Guild of Magic."
When explaining what level certification was, although Gerian had a pleasant smile on his face, he was actually indescribably nervous. This was related to a magic genius comparable to Geresco, and even more so to a Master of Pharmaceutics who was not even 20 years old. Gerian even felt that his current mood was even more nervous than when he had advanced to the Archmage realm.
"Then when can I go through the level certification?" Lin Li answered very straightforwardly because he also wanted to know what level he was at now.
"Anytime!" Gerian pulled Lin Li upstairs. His fat face was completely distorted because he had been holding it in for too long. He really wanted to hug Andoine and kiss him a few times now. This old fellow was really too cute. When he came back, he must thank him properly.
