Upon hearing Mason's words, Lin Li suddenly remembered that the middle-aged man in front of him was the one who had assigned the trial mentors to everyone in the guild hall yesterday. At that time, Lin Li had felt that he looked familiar, but he could not figure out where this fella had come from.
The middle-aged man walked out of the bushes and stared straight at Lin Li. "Are you Felic?"
His hoarse voice was condescending, and it sounded like he was interrogating a prisoner.
However, the other party was a trial mentor after all. Although Lin Li was dissatisfied, he suppressed his anger and replied respectfully, "Yes, Sir."
The middle-aged man nodded and did not say much, but his gaze on Lin Li became sharper.
"Mentor Aeron, it's this kid who hurt Matthias!" Seeing the grim expression on the trial mentor's face, the two fellows, who were good at changing the direction of the wind, immediately guessed something. With a shake of their bodies, they changed from bowing and bowing to being filled with righteous indignation. If Lin Li had not witnessed their shameful behavior yesterday, he might have really thought that these two fellows were really loyal and wanted to stand up for Matthias.
Unfortunately … yesterday's kick had betrayed everything.
"Mage Felic, is this true?" Aeron's expression became stern.
"Yes, Mr Aeron."
Lin Li was honest, and admitted it without hesitation.
Anyway, the witness and material evidence were there, and he could not deny it even if he wanted to.
"Youngsters nowadays are indeed more promising than us old fellows. Haha …" The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, but his eyes were still fixed on Lin Li. "Alanna's Guild of Magic has a clear rule that guild mages are strictly prohibited from fighting. Mage Felic, didn't anyone tell you that?"
"Is there such a rule?"
"It seems that your memory is not very good, but it doesn't matter. After you stay in the guild dungeon, you will have enough time to recall it. Now, as the arbitrator of the Alanna Guild of Magic, I announce that you are under arrest for the crime of hurting a colleague. If you have anything to say, you can say it in the guild dungeon, because … you may be staying for a long time."
"What right do you have to take Felic away?" Mason asked as he stood in front of Lin Li with a determined look on his face.
Orrin did not say a word. He only took a step forward silently, and this step allowed him to use his body to protect his roommate.
"You two are Orrin from Rotterdam and Mason from Chevan City, right?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Aeron's face. "Why, do you want to live in the dungeon with him?"
"Damn it, are you being reasonable?" Mason's face was flushed with anger, and he pointed at Aeron. "When Matthias injured Orrin, why didn't anyone put him in the dungeon? Now that it's Felic's turn, it's considered harming his colleagues? "
"He was injured by Matthias? Mason … Can you tell me where Matthias hurt him? "
"Right hand! Matthias broke his right hand with an Arcane Missile! "
"Mason, do you mean … Matthias first used an Arcane Missile to break Orrin's right hand, and then Felic used an Arcane Missile to break Matthias' four limbs?"
"That's right, that's it!"
"Orrin, can you let me see your right hand?"
As soon as Aeron's words came out, Mason was stunned.
The three of them lived in the same house. How could he not know that Orrin's right hand had already recovered after he drank the potion? How could Aeron tell anything about Orrin's right hand?
"No need to look." Just when Mason was in a dilemma, Lin Li stood out from behind him, and his eyes were fixed on Aeron's right hand. "Matthias was injured by me, and it has nothing to do with them. I can go back with you, but Mr. Aeron, may I ask how do you address Bathrilor?"
On Aeron's right hand, there was a ring inlaid with a ruby that was emitting a faint magical wave.
"I am Bathrilor's father."
"Sure enough …" Lin Li nodded, and there was a look of understanding on his face.
It was only at that moment that Lin Li suddenly understood.
Why did he find this middle-aged man familiar? It was because he looked 70 to 80 percent similar to Bathrilor, especially the ruby ring on his hand. Lin Li's impression of it was too deep. Back then at the Castellan Mansion's banquet, he was almost injured by this ruby ring.
What Matthias? What hurting a colleague? It was just an excuse …
Even if he did not break Matthias' four limbs, he could also find other excuses to avenge his son. After all … this was the Alanna Guild of Magic, and it was Aldwin's sphere of influence. If the President's son wanted to find trouble with him, there were too many ways to avoid it.
"Looks like you've guessed it …" There was a hint of pleasure in Aeron's smile. Ever since Bathrilor returned from Jarrosus, he had been thinking about avenging his son all the time.
He had lived for more than 50 years, and only had this one son. He usually valued him more than his own life. He had never scolded or beaten him since he was a child, and he could not even bear to say a harsh word to him.
Yet, he did not expect to go to Jarrosus and come back with two broken fingers. If not for his father, Aldwin, stopping him, Aeron would have gone to Jarrosus himself to find the murderer named Felic.
God has eyes …
Aeron did not expect that the person sent by the Jarrosus Guild of Magic for the Supreme Council's trial this time was actually this Felic.
Since he had come to Alanna, don't think of going back alive …
Aeron had even thought about it. As long as he was locked in the dungeon, he would immediately use all kinds of connections to make sure he suffered the most painful torture in the shortest time possible.
"Unfortunately, I did guess it …" Lin Li smiled and reached out to take out his magic staff.
At this point, there was no need to say anything. This simple action could explain everything.
If he had not guessed Aeron's identity, Lin Li might have followed him back for investigation. But now that he knew that he was Bathrilor's father, how could Lin Li allow himself to fall into his hands? So what if Aldwin was on his side? Once he fell into Aeron's hands, he had 10,000 ways to kill him without Aldwin knowing. It was too easy …
"Looks like you intend to resist to the end." Aeron glanced at Lin Li, and his eyes fell on Mason and Orrin. "What about you? Do you intend to resist with him? "
"Idiot," Orrin spat out coldly.
"Haha, good scolding!" Mason, who had always hated this word, finally agreed for once today.
Aeron was not angry. With his current strength and status, ordinary offenses were not enough to make him angry, except for the murderer who hurt Bathrilor. He just nodded. "Since you want to go to the guild dungeon with him, I can give you this opportunity."
As soon as Aeron's hoarse voice fell, the three of them suddenly felt a huge pressure, and the source of the pressure was the black-robed middle-aged man. At this time, Aeron was completely different from before, and his whole body was exuding a powerful aura.
Even Lin Li, who had just broken through to level-13, felt a sense of suffocation under this pressure. This was the purest suppression of power. Aeron did not chant any spells, nor did he cast any spells. Just the external release of mana was enough to suppress these three young mages who were not weak.
"At least level-17 …" Under this pressure, Lin Li had the most intuitive feeling of the other party's strength. Aldwin's son was really not ordinary. Compared to the likes of Gerian and Old Merlin, they were not at the same level.
"You …" Lin Li opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade Mason and Orrin. After all, they were going against a level-17 Archmage, and a little carelessness would put them in danger of being smashed into pieces.
But when the words came to his mouth, they turned into a bitter smile. Forget it, it all depends on luck …
The power that a level-17 Archmage possessed was simply inhuman. Just the mana that he released was enough to cause a terrifying Elemental Storm in the forest. The strong wind rolled up the fallen leaves, and the sand and mud mixed together. When it hit one's face, it felt like it was being cut by a knife. Standing in the center of the Elemental Storm, Aeron's squarish face was filled with the joy of revenge.
Aeron held the magic staff in his hand tightly, and the long and complicated recitation echoed in the forest for a long time …
Feeling the terrible flow of mana, Lin Li's heart gradually sank. This was at least a level-15 spell, and with his strength of level-13, he did not even have the qualification to use Mana Retroaction to stop it, let alone resist it.
And at this time, Lin Li suddenly heard an old voice coming from the forest.
"Aeron, you've gone too far."
