By the time they finished discussing the details and came out of the woods, Macklin had already left, along with the seriously injured Aeron. From the look on the old man's face, Aeron would most likely be in deep trouble when he returned.
Lin Li did not have time to care about how he would be in deep trouble.
What he cared about now was the Crystal of Eternity in Andoine's arms.
As a Master of Minerals, how could Lin Li not remember that the Crystal of Eternity had always been associated with the Eternal Adamantine? This also meant that where the Crystal of Eternity could be found, there would most likely be a vein of Eternal Adamantine.
The Eternal Adamantine was a good thing. Its natural stability gave it excellent elemental protection. In addition to being used to forge gold rods, it was often used to forge armors. For example, a warrior's armor could immediately be upgraded to a higher level with a thin layer of Eternal Adamantine.
Moreover …
In addition to the Crystal of Eternity, the Eternal Adamantine vein often produced some rare gems such as the Dragon's Eye, the Heart of the Earth, and the Star Elegy. These were all truly rare gems. Even the worst of them would not be inferior to the ruby on Aeron's ring.
If luck was good enough, there might be a chance to find a magical crystal. What was a magical crystal? It was a natural source of mana. Even if it was only the size of a thumb, the mana it could provide would not be less than that of a level-15 magical crystal.
Since his transmigration, Lin Li had always been brooding over not bringing more high-level magical crystals.
So much so that a gold rod plated with deep silver could only be made with a level-12 magical crystal, such a low-level material.
Unfortunately, it was too early now.
The Eternal Adamantine was naturally stable, and could not be detected by magic. Even a Master of Minerals like Lin Li could only wait until the night when the sky was completely dark before he could make a judgment based on the unique light emitted by the Eternal Adamantine at night.
Lin Li was not anxious about this matter at all.
From the Crystal of Eternity in Andoine's hand, it could be seen that the Eternal Adamantine vein was probably not a rich one, and its distribution must be very scattered. Otherwise, the Crystal of Eternity would not be so small. The Crystal of Eternity that Lin Li had was mined from the rich ore of the Thousand Needles. It was as big as a human head, and was enough for a jeweler to carve a whole set of potion bottles …
The barren and scattered mineral veins could be said to be the safest. Hence, Lin Li was not anxious at all. So what if someone went over? In the end, they could only watch. Without Master-level mineral knowledge, they might not even be able to finish mining for half a month.
However … Lin Li was not anxious, but Andoine was.
He had a piece of the Crystal of Eternity in his arms, and couldn't wait to fly back to Alanna to find a jeweler to carve a potion bottle for him. How could he be in the mood to waste time in the forest?
After Lin Li's introduction, the old fellow hurriedly greeted Mason and Orrin, and hurriedly said, "Alright, I'll come over to look for you tonight."
"Alright." Lin Li knew what the old man was thinking when he saw the expression on his face, and decided not to keep him any longer.
"See you tonight."
After saying that, Andoine had already released the Power of Flight, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When Lin Li turned around, he found Mason staring at him with a blank expression. That expression was as if he was looking at a stranger.
"You … You're really Felic?"
"I'm really …" Seeing Mason's blank expression, Lin Li really wanted to hit his head against a tree.
Mason still did not believe it, and asked with some suspicion, "Then … Then how did you know Master Andoine?"
"It's a long story. Why don't I tell you slowly another day when I have time?" Lin Li did not lie. If he really wanted to talk about it, it would not be clear in a short time. Moreover … even if he could explain it clearly, he had to dare to say it. What was the concept of a transmigrator? He came from another world, and was almost equivalent to a creature from another plane, such as the Abyssal Demons. If such a thing were to spread, Lin Li would probably be caught and burned to death immediately.
"…"
Since it had come to this, Mason naturally did not continue to ask. But his gaze towards Lin Li was filled with disbelief. He would never have thought that this roommate who claimed to be a level-seven mage would have such a terrifying background …
Mason was not the only one who felt that it was unbelievable. Orrin was the same.
Of course, with his character, he would naturally not be like Mason, who would rashly ask about someone's background.
But this did not mean that he was not surprised.
Even a blind man could see the scene just now.
The relationship between his roommate and Master Andoine was not as simple as that of a mentor and an apprentice.
In this world, which acolyte would address their mentor as' you '?
Moreover, Orrin clearly saw Master Andoine take out a bottle of potion from his pocket, and consult his roommate very carefully and cautiously.
At that moment, Orrin could not believe his eyes. That feeling was completely like a dream. A Legendary-mage who was proficient in pharmaceutics actually held a bottle of potion and consulted someone, and the person was his own roommate …
…
Today's mission started a little late. When the three of them returned from the Nightmare Mountains, it was almost time for dinner.
When they woke up in the afternoon, Lin Li did not even have time to eat because of Macklin's urgent urging. After the torment in the Nightmare Mountains, he was long famished. This fella walked all the way into the guild hall, and looked around to see if there was anything edible that could fill his stomach.
Mason and Orrin, on the other hand, lagged far behind. Until now, both of them had not recovered from the shock. Their minds were filled with their incomparably mysterious roommate.
"Mr Felic!" Lin Li was looking around when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
When he turned around, it was actually Sean, whom he had not seen for two days.
"Haha, Sean, why are you here?" Lin Li actually felt a little guilty when he saw Sean suddenly. After all, he was the one who brought Sean to Alanna. Yet, after arriving at the Guild of Magic, he had been abandoning Sean. This was really somewhat inexcusable.
"I'm here waiting for you to come back …" Sean scratched his head. He had always been ineloquent, and did not know how to express himself. "I heard from others that the mages coming this time will all go to very dangerous places to complete the trial mission. I'm worried about your safety …"
"Hehe …" Lin Li laughed. Sean's concern had more or less touched him.
The two of them talked for a while, but Lin Li suddenly realized that the leather armor on Sean's body did not seem to have been changed. It was still the one he wore in Blackhills Town. "Oh, yes, Sean, why don't you change your leather armor?"
"I …" Upon hearing this question, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Sean's tanned face. After hesitating for a long time, he said shyly, "I … I only have this leather armor."
"Oh!"
It was only at this time that Lin Li suddenly remembered that day in Blackhills Town, Sean had said that he did not have any other leather armor. At that time, he seemed to have said that he would definitely buy a new one for him when he reached Alanna. In the end, the trial mission had been too tight these two days, and he was caught by that old fellow Macklin to forge iron. After a while, he actually forgot about this matter …
"Let's go, I'll bring you out to buy a new one." Under the guilt, Lin Li also forgot that he was still hungry. After informing his two roommates, he brought Sean out of the Guild of Magic.
"Mr Felic, there's no need … There's really no need. I can still wear this leather armor for a long time …" Sean refused to accept it all the way, and stammered as he tried to decline. He came from a poor family since he was young, and had long developed the good habit of being diligent and thrifty. Unless a piece of leather armor was broken beyond recognition, he would not be willing to change it at all. In the eyes of this honest young man, buying a piece of leather armor would cost a lot of money.
"Oh, yes, you need to change your weapon too …" But Lin Li did not care about him at all. After sizing him up, he continued, "Your double-edged sword is not bad, but it's a pity that you don't practice both magic and martial arts, so you can't unleash its full power. I'll bring you to the weapon shop later, and get a suitable one to use first. After a while, I'll help you think of other ways …"
To Lin Li, who had millions of gold coins, a piece of leather armor and a weapon was nothing. With just a few simple sentences, the matter was settled.
Walking on the bustling streets of Alanna, Lin Li took the opportunity to show concern for the honest young man's difficult situation. "Oh, yes, Sean, where have you been these two days? Why haven't I seen you even once?"
