Under Lin Li's coercion, Sean quickly changed into the brand-new Salamander leather armor. He could feel the faint fire magical element and the unique temperature of the Salamander's skin. The double-edged sword in his hand was heavy, and the red marks of the Abyss Fiendish Iron were exceptionally bright in the night.
Sean was so excited that his face was slightly flushed, and his hands that were tightly holding the giant sword were trembling slightly because he was exerting too much force. For the simple and honest young man who came from a poor family, all of this was like a dream. How many Fire Raven feathers and low-level magical crystals would he need for 200,000 gold coins? How many adventurer missions would he need to complete? Sean could not imagine it. He only knew that if he were to rely on himself, he might need 100 years to gather the money.
After coming out of the equipment store, Sean felt like he was sleepwalking. Even when he walked on the road, he felt like he was stepping on cotton, and every step seemed light. The figure of 200,000 gold coins was too terrifying. Sean dared not even dream of it. He had never thought that he would one day have two pieces of equipment worth 200,000 gold coins …
Along the way, Sean hugged the double-edged sword tightly in his arms. His face was extremely nervous, as though he was hugging his own son instead of a weapon. Every few steps, Sean would stop to take a look, afraid that the brand-new Salamander leather armor would be stained with dust.
Lin Li did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he had no choice but to stop and ask, "Sean, can you walk properly?"
"Oh …" Sean finally restrained himself after being asked this question. However, he still walked softly along the way, as though he was a thief.
Lin Li shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do about this fella …
The streets of Alanna in the evening were much quieter than during the day. The two of them walked slowly along the street back to the Guild of Magic. There were not many pedestrians. Sean continued to walk softly like a thief, while Lin Li lowered his head and thought about the fella who consigned the equipment.
There were two pieces of equipment in this set, but Lin Li was only concerned about the Salamander Armor.
Ever since he heard about the mysterious cave from Sean, Lin Li had always wanted to explore the Fire Plume Ridge, but he had never thought of a way to overcome the extreme temperature. It was a place that could spawn a few black lotuses. The fire magical element in it was probably more terrifying than the magic of an Archmage. The reason why Sean could escape unscathed that time was mostly due to luck. As for what kind of luck it was, Lin Li had to go and take a look to know …
However, the salamander armor he saw today gave him an idea.
If the leather armor of the Fire Salamandrid was handled well, it could really resist the fire element magic of an Archmage.
Of course, the one Sean was wearing was not enough …
Perhaps because of the different emphasis, the creator of the leather armor placed too much emphasis on the power of the fire shield, which resulted in the loss of a large amount of fire element magic resistance. Moreover, it was not processed with inscriptions. After all, leather armor was only leather armor. It was not a living level-14 magical beast, the Fire Salamandrid. To achieve the level of fire immunity, it had to be covered with a Master-level mageweath — Flame Annihilation Ward.
Unfortunately, the Fire Salamandrid had always been rare, and as a descendant of Salamander, Salamander would most likely be found wherever the Fire Salamander appeared. Salamander was a magical beast that was above level-18. Before reaching the Legendary-level, provoking them was tantamount to courting death.
Which ordinary adventurer would dare to skin the Fire Salamandrid? If they provoked Salamander, they would not even have time to cry …
Moreover … Salamander had a long lifespan. Most of the best among them could break through level-20 and become a Legendary-level magical beast. The increase in strength could only be described as earth-shattering. At that time, Salamander would also have a new name — Salamander.
Lin Li did not even see a single piece of Fire Salamander skin from Jarrosus to Alanna. He did not expect to see a leather armor made from the skin of a Fire Salamander in such a small equipment store when he brought Sean out to buy equipment.
It was not important whether this leather armor could be used or not.
The key was that Lin Li could find a breakthrough from this leather armor.
Through this breakthrough, Lin Li would have the opportunity to find the person who sold the equipment. As long as he could find him, Lin Li had countless ways to ask him about the origin of the Fire Salamander skin.
By that time, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to explore the mysterious cave in the Fire Plume Ridge?
The two of them walked slowly along the street. When they were about to reach the Guild of Magic, Sean stopped in his tracks.
But this time, he did not wipe the dust off the Salamander skin. Instead, he looked at Lin Li hesitantly, and said, "Mr Felic, can I …"
"Can you what?" Lin Li looked at him with a puzzled expression. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this fella was not normal today. From the moment they walked out of the Guild of Magic, he had been stuttering along the way. He was not as straightforward as usual. Could it be … that something had happened to him these two days?
This puzzled gaze landed on Sean's face, and he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say. He shook his head in a panic. "Nothing, nothing …"
"Sean!" When Lin Li heard this, he immediately understood that this kid must be hiding something in his heart. He stopped in his tracks, and said with a rare solemn expression, "Tell me honestly, what exactly is going on? Don't lie, or I'll chase you back to Jarrosus. "
"Mr Felic, it's really nothing …"
"I'll say it again, don't lie!" Lin Li's expression was rather ugly, and this sentence was almost shouted out.
Sean was shocked. It was the first time he saw Mr Felic so angry since he came to Alanna from Jarrosus. For a moment, Sean was completely stunned. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally plucked up his courage. "Mr Felic … Can I … Can I move out?"
"Why do you want to move out?" Lin Li was puzzled. This did not sound like something Sean would say. What move out? Could it be that he was not used to it?
"Because … because …" Sean said "because" twice in a row, but his voice became softer, and his head lowered.
"Because of what?" Just as Lin Li asked, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a trace of residual magical wave on Sean's body. In an instant, Lin Li's face turned pale. How could Lin Li, who had already reached the level of a Magic Shooter, not know what this trace of magical wave meant?
Lin Li did not even ask, and directly tore off the Fire Salamandrid leather armor.
Then, Lin Li saw that Sean's chest was covered with charred marks, and there was a slight burnt smell in the trace of residual magical wave.
"F * ck!" Lin Li's sudden outburst of anger almost set the houses on the street on fire.
No wonder I haven't seen Sean for two days …
No wonder Sean wanted to move out …
Lin Li did not need to ask anything. This charred mark was enough to explain everything.
Active elemental waves and a charred mark — if this was not left by the Flaming Hands, Lin Li dared to twist his own head off!
"Who did it?"
"Mr Felic …"
"Speak!" Lin Li's face was ghastly pale, and his expression was so ferocious as if he wanted to devour someone. He had never thought that Sean would suffer such a serious injury after just two days in Alanna. Furthermore, he had suffered such a serious injury right under his nose. To Lin Li, it was like a slap to his face.
"It's … It's a Mr Mage."
Lin Li panted a few times, and forced himself to calm down. "What's his name?"
"I think … I think he's called Madrick."
"Very good, Madrick …" Lin Li nodded, and then asked with a pale face, "Why did he attack you?"
"That Mr Mage said … said he needed an opponent to practice magic with …"
"Practice magic …" Lin Li repeated, and his hands were already cracking. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Take me to him."
"Oh …" Lin Li's face was frighteningly ugly. Sean did not dare to say anything more, and walked all the way into the guild hall. After turning a few more corridors and coming out from the back door of the guild hall, he soon saw a low building.
From the outside, this building seemed to have been there for some time. The paint on the walls had long faded, and from afar, it was as if a moldy smell could be smelled. From the structure of the building, it should be an abandoned warehouse.
"This is where you live?"
"Yes, Mr Felic."
"Darian, you've got guts!" Lin Li really had the intention to kill now. He had never thought that the other residence that Darian mentioned was actually such an abandoned warehouse. Was this a place for people to live?
"What about that guy called Madrick?"
"He lives here too. I heard from others that he seems to be sent by the Guild of Magic …"
"Oh …" Lin Li nodded, and understood a little.
This place must have been temporarily vacated by the Alanna Guild of Magic because there were a lot of mages in this trial, and most of them had brought their attendants. It would be difficult to arrange the accommodation of these attendants, so they simply vacated an abandoned warehouse and let them live temporarily. Anyway, they were just some servants with no status. How could the high and mighty mages care about the lives of a few servants?
And that guy called Madrick was most likely sent by the Alanna Guild of Magic temporarily. As for the purpose of sending him, it was not difficult to guess. It was nothing more than to manage and prevent these attendants from messing around in the Guild of Magic.
As for how he managed it, no one in the Alanna Guild of Magic would care.
The only one who would care was probably Lin Li.
Sean was not only his attendant, but Lin Li also treated him as a younger brother most of the time. His younger brother was hurt by the Flaming Hands. As the elder brother, how could he let the murderer go?
