"I heard from my uncle …"
Mason's opening remark was still the same. Lin Li had heard him say the same thing at least ten times in the few days he had been in Alanna. So much so that Lin Li was very curious. What kind of person was this "uncle"? How could he be so well-informed? Not to mention the major decisions of the guild, he could even know some gossip like the back of his hand. Lin Li decided that if there was a chance in the future, he must let Mason introduce his uncle to him!
"The content of tomorrow's mission will be beyond our imagination."
Lin Li's interest was piqued. "What mission is so powerful?"
Mason said matter-of-factly, "I don't know."
"…" Lin Li was so angry that he almost fell sick. He spoke mysteriously for a long time, and in the end, he just said he didn't know. What was the difference between this and a eunuch? What was next? There was nothing next …
For a moment, even Orrin could not stand it anymore. "Idiot without professional ethics!"
"Listen to my explanation …" Mason saw that he was about to offend the crowd, and quickly excused himself. "The content of tomorrow's mission is decided by the Supreme Council. Not to mention my uncle, even President Aldwin might not know."
"Really?"
The more Lin Li thought about it, the more puzzled he was. Although the Supreme Council initiated this trial, they had not interfered much. After all, there were countless Guilds of Magic in Anril, and the Supreme Council might not necessarily have the time to care about Alanna.
What was wrong with them today? They suddenly cared about the content of the mission …
"What kind of mission do you think the Supreme Council will give us?" Mason's face was very excited. Just thinking about the mission of the Supreme Council made people excited.
"Who knows …"
Lin Li pursed his lips. He did not fear the Supreme Council at all. What he was worried about now was how he was going to sleep tonight. Sean had already dozed off. He sat alone on the rattan chair, and his head was tilted back. He reckoned that he would shock the entire building in no time.
"Sean, wake up first …" Lin Li thought for a while, and had to wake Sean up.
After a day of torment, Sean was already very tired. Although he was shaken up by Lin Li, his eyes were still half-closed. He asked in a daze, "Mr. Felic, what happened?"
"Go to my room and sleep."
"How can this be?" Upon hearing that, Sean was immediately jolted awake. He shook his head and refused. "No, no, Mr. Felic, I'll just sleep in the living room."
"Cut the crap." It was useless to discuss with this fellow. Lin Li straightened his face, and said in a commanding tone, "If you don't want to go back to Jarrosus, then go to my room and sleep!"
Upon seeing Lin Li's stern face, Sean did not dare to decline again, but he still looked hesitant. "Then … Mr Felic, where do you sleep?"
"I want to sit here for a while. When I want to sleep, I'll come and wake you up."
"Oh …" With this sentence, Sean was finally relieved and answered honestly.
Lin Li helped Sean close the door, and then sat back on the rattan chair. With a tired look on his face, he said to his two roommates, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. There's a trial mission tomorrow …"
"You're good to him." Orrin praised Lin Li, which was rare, and then gently closed the door.
Lin Li smiled, and did not explain anything. He only muttered in his heart, "I'm good to you guys too …"
Seeing that his two roommates had closed the door, Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and took out a crystal pen and a bottle of star sand. Then, he gently set up a concealment barrier on the door.
After doing all this, Lin Li could finally sleep with peace of mind. With the concealment barrier, not to mention Sean's snoring, even thunder would not be able to reach the living room.
Lin Li was already exhausted after the day. Now that he had no worries, he slept soundly even if he were to lie on the rattan chair.
It was not only Lin Li who slept soundly, but also Mason and Orrin, as well as Sean who was shielded by the concealment barrier …
…
While they were sleeping soundly, someone was crying in front of Darian.
The one crying was Madrick, the unlucky fellow who had kicked an iron plate.
"Uncle Darian …" Madrick was lying on the hospital bed, covered with bandages all over his body. He looked like a mummy, and the slightest movement would affect the wounds on his body, bringing him a heart-wrenching pain.
"Shut up, you're a big man. What's there to cry about a little injury?" Darian's face was livid, and he was annoyed by Madrick's crying.
He already knew what had happened. Darian had never thought that the kid from Jarrosus would dare to be so heavy-handed.
Although he said "there's nothing to cry about", Darian knew in his heart that it was by no means a minor injury.
In fact, when he saw Madrick's injuries just now, even he was shocked.
There were bruises all over his body, and the wounds on his legs were deep and long, as if they had been cut by a knife. There was a mark of the Flaming Hands on his chest, which still gave off a strong burnt smell. His back was even more horrifying. Almost half of his body was blown up, and even his ribs were exposed. Fortunately, Madrick was lucky enough not to be injured in the internal organs. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.
The injuries on Madrick's body reminded Darian of the trial many years ago.
All of this seemed to be a repeat of that year.
He, who was lying on the hospital bed, was almost exactly the same as Madrick now. He was also seriously injured and almost died, and the person who did it was also from the Jarrosus Guild of Magic. His name was Gerian.
Darian could not help but clench his fists tightly at the thought of Gerian's disgusting fat face.
That was the greatest shame of his life. In front of hundreds of people, he was defeated by a fat man whom he had never looked straight at.
Darian had never been so insulted in his life. After defeating him with an Air Bomb, the fat man who should go to hell spat on his face and said, "If you have the strength, you can be arrogant too."
"Take good care of your injuries. I will deal with this matter." Darian took a deep breath and suppressed his years of hatred.
"Uncle Darian, you must help me vent this anger …"
"I will."
After Darian came out of the room, he did not go to Lin Li directly. Instead, he returned to the guild hall, went up the stairs to the second floor, and knocked on Aldwin's door.
"Why are you here?" It was not Aldwin who asked the question, but Macklin, whose status was second only to the President in the entire Alanna Guild of Magic.
"Good morning, Mr Macklin." Darian's voice was respectful. He had always been afraid of this goatee. In terms of strength, Macklin was not as good as Aldwin, but in the Alanna Guild of Magic, those who were afraid of Macklin were far more than those who were afraid of Aldwin.
Although Aldwin was a Legendary-mage at level-21, he had always adhered to the principle of generosity in dealing with people. In everyone's hearts, he was a kind and wise elder. But Macklin was different. This goatee was a real plague. Darian was not bad. Look at the young mages in the guild; they all looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw Macklin.
But today …
No matter how afraid Darian was, he had to stand in front of Macklin. The reason was simple — the person he was most afraid of was the trial mentor of the Jarrosus kid.
"Darian is here?" While Darian was hesitating how to speak, Aldwin also looked up from a pile of books. The old man had a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
"Good morning, President Aldwin." After greeting him respectfully, Darian took another look at the book in the President's hand. It seemed to be written in the High Elves Print.
"Coming to me so early, there must be something wrong, right?"
"Yes, Sir." Darian nodded with some indignation on his face. "I shouldn't have disturbed you so early, but unfortunately, something serious happened in the guild last night. A mage who participated in the trial actually injured Madrick. President Aldwin, I think you need to deal with this matter properly."
"Oh?" Aldwin was slightly taken aback, and put the book in his hand back on the table. "Which guild is the trial mage from?"
"From the Jarrosus Guild of Magic. I think his name is Felic."
"You mean … Felic?" Before Aldwin could speak, Macklin's eyes had already widened.
"Yes, Mr Macklin."
"Then what's there to deal with …"
"Macklin, Felic's trial mentor seems to be you, right?" Just as Macklin was about to curse, he was stopped by Aldwin.
"Yes, President Aldwin."
"That's good. You handle this matter as you see fit."
"Alright."
The President's hint was so obvious, how could Macklin not understand? The so-called "handle as you see fit" naturally meant nothing. What a joke … Handle Felic? Why don't you handle it for me … When that old fellow Andoine goes crazy, are you going to deal with him or Aldwin?
Moreover …
After dealing with this kid, can you help me settle the bet with the Adventurers Guild?
"Darian, is there anything else?" When he looked at Darian again, Macklin suddenly felt that this guy was really not pleasing to the eye. He secretly cursed in his heart. Damn it, you don't even know how to do something proper at your age. You only know how to find trouble for me …
"Ah?"
Darian was waiting for Aldwin to announce the solution, and was startled by Macklin's sudden question. When he came to his senses, he realized that the solution had already been announced. The President did not even ask for his opinion, and had given the matter to Macklin.
"Why, President Aldwin, you're worried that I'll handle this matter, aren't you? Could it be that you're still worried that I'll be biased? "Macklin's gaze towards him was already faintly filled with ill intentions.
"No, no …" Darian was almost scared out of his wits when he heard that. This was not a joke. Even if Darian had a hundred guts, he would not dare to admit it in front of Macklin. For a moment, he was so scared that he was drenched in sweat, and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.
"That's good." Macklin nodded in satisfaction. "You go back first. I'll settle this matter."
"Yes, Mr Macklin." Upon hearing this, Darian did not dare to stay any longer. It would be troublesome if he was misunderstood by Macklin again. After saying goodbye to the two, he respectfully left the room.
"Haha, this Felic …" Watching Darian's back leave, Aldwin smiled helplessly.
"This little bastard, he's always causing trouble for me!"
"What do you think of this matter?"
"What can I think?" Macklin shrugged his shoulders, looking more helpless than Aldwin's. "This little bastard is now my living ancestor. I can't beat or scold him. I'm just short of paying tribute to him … Darian's nephew, he can only blame his bad luck … Of all people to provoke, he had to provoke that guy. He's lucky he didn't beat him to death …"
"No …" Aldwin shook his head. "I mean, what do you think of this Felic?"
Macklin scratched his head. After thinking for a long time, he finally squeezed out a word. "Monster."
"Oh?" Aldwin was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?"
"It's a long story …" Macklin sighed, and his expression was a little emotional. "You know about yesterday's trial mission, right?"
"Yes."
"I bet you can't imagine what that kid did …" Thinking of yesterday's trial mission, even Macklin himself could not help but feel indignant. "That kid instantly released two level-two spells and a level-three spell right under my nose …"
"Level-Three spell?" Aldwin was shocked to hear that. Instantaneous release of level-three spells was at least the strength of a Magic Shooter. Although this Felic was a genius, he was still young after all. He looked only in his twenties this year. How could he have the strength close to that of an Archmage?
"Don't be in such a hurry to be surprised. I haven't finished speaking yet …" Macklin sighed, then gritted his teeth and said, "And these three spells were released almost at the same time. The difference between them was less than a second!"
"…" Even with Aldwin's strength, he could not help but gasp at this time. Instantaneous release of two level-two spells and a level-three spell at the same time. What kind of concept was that? Even among the Archmages, there were probably many who could not do it, let alone a young man who was only 20 years old.
"Then, this kid completed a breakthrough!"
"What level did he break through to?"
"From level-12 to level-13."
"How could it be …" Aldwin's eyes widened when he heard about level-13. Even Gryffindor, the pride of the Alanna Guild of Magic and the top magic genius of the Felan Kingdom, only broke through to level-13 at the age of 23, and that was for special reasons. How could this Felic from Jarrosus be so powerful? He reached level-13 at the age of 20. When he reached Gryffindor's age, wouldn't he directly break through to the Magic Shooter realm?
"Otherwise, why would I say that this kid is a monster …"
"He really is a monster …" Aldwin shook his head, and there was some emotion in his expression.
"Oh yes …" Macklin thought for a while, and remembered something. "There's one more thing that you can't even think of …"
"What's wrong?"
"If I'm not wrong, this kid is most likely a pharmacist!"
"How do you know?"
"I saw it with my own eyes. Even Andoine took out a bottle of potion and asked him for advice. You didn't see the scene at that time. Otherwise, you would have laughed to death. In front of that kid, the old guy was like the little apprentices in our guild. He didn't even dare to raise his head after being scolded …"
"This is too …" Aldwin said the word "too" a few times in a row, but he could not come up with a reason. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"In short, this kid is a real monster!" Macklin concluded with such a sentence. Then, he rolled his eyes, and asked in a negotiating tone, "I say, can you think of a way to get this kid to Alanna? What's the future of staying in a rural place like Jarrosus? Why don't you discuss it with Gerian? "
"He's willing to come to Alanna?" Upon hearing Macklin's words, Aldwin's eyes suddenly lit up. If such an abnormal genius could be roped into the Alanna Guild of Magic, he would no longer have to worry about having no successor. A level-13 Magic Shooter at the age of 20 would only be a matter of time before he broke through to the Legendary-realm, not to mention that he was a pharmacist … Oh yes, I almost forgot, this guy was also a blacksmith who could forge magical equipment …
"I didn't ask about this, but Alanna is the capital of Felan Kingdom, and the power of our guild is ten times stronger than that of Jarrosus Guild. What reason does he have to be unwilling?"
"That's hard to say …" Aldwin shook his head, but he refused to give up. "But we can try. Let me think of a way."
In the Alanna Guild of Magic, the two most powerful people were discussing in the room, and the target of their discussion was only a young mage who was only 20 years old.
As the two discussed, they completely forgot the time. It was not until the afternoon that Macklin slapped his head. "Oh no, I forgot the business!"
After that, he hurried out of the room without explaining to Aldwin.
…
Just like yesterday, Lin Li was awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
"Morning, Mr Macklin …" Lin Li greeted Macklin with a sleepy face.
"Why are you sleeping in the living room?" As soon as Macklin entered the door, he saw two rattan chairs put together and a blanket that had slid to the ground.
"It's cooler in the living room …" Lin Li yawned and casually bluffed.
"…" Macklin almost couldn't catch his breath. What a mess. What month is it now? It's cooler to sleep in the living room?
"Forget it. Hurry up and pack up. We have to set off immediately. Today's trial mission is a little troublesome …" But time was tight, and Macklin had no time to ask more. Halfway through the sentence, he asked curiously, "By the way, where are those two guys?"
"They're all sleeping. They stayed up too late last night."
"F * ck! These two lazy bums … "Macklin's face suddenly darkened.
Just as he was about to wake them up with Arcane Missiles like yesterday morning, the doors of the two rooms opened almost at the same time. When Orrin and Mason came out of the room, there was a look of relief on their faces. Fortunately, they woke up in time today. Otherwise, they would have been hit by two more Arcane Missiles …
"Very good, you guys woke up fast …" Time was too tight today, and Macklin had no time to lecture them. He only looked at the two with a warning look. "Now pack up and follow me. Your trial mission today will be completed in the Shadowglen."
"What?" Not to mention Mason, even Lin Li could not help but open his mouth wide. What kind of joke was this old fellow making? Was that a place for humans to go?
Going to the Shadowglen to complete the mission … This was simply buying lives!
That was the legendary paradise of the undead. Corpses and bones were everywhere, and poisonous fog was everywhere. Even a cockroach that crawled in would most likely turn into a mummy.
