After Lin Li entered the room, he found that there was another acquaintance sitting in addition to Macklin.
"Good afternoon, Mr Darian." Lin Li greeted him with a smile. If one were to look at the expression on his face, few would be able to imagine that this seemingly polite guy was actually the murderer who had just crippled Darian's nephew.
"Hmph!" Darian snorted, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Alright, Darian, I'll think about what you said. You go back first …" The atmosphere in the room was tense, giving Macklin a headache. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows in pain, and quickly interrupted the conversation.
"Yes, Mr Macklin …" Since Macklin had already spoken, Darian could only do as he was told no matter how unwilling he was. If he angered the most powerful Magic Shooter in the guild, it would be too late for regrets. Macklin was not as easy to talk to as Aldwin. He had always fallen out with him without even greeting him.
Darian got up and opened the door, but before he left, he glared at Lin Li fiercely. Not to mention Lin Li, even Macklin, who was at the side, could see that hateful gaze clearly.
It was just that Macklin was annoyed now, so he pretended not to see it.
Watching Darian's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Lin Li closed the door again, and shamelessly brushed off the matter. "I'm really sorry to disturb you and Mr Darian discussing business …"
"What are you pretending for? It's impossible that you don't know what we're talking about …" Macklin felt a headache just looking at this guy.
This kid was really too much. He had only been in Alanna for slightly more than half a month, and he had already gotten himself into so much trouble. Matthias and Madrick had been crippled by him one after another. During this period of time, Macklin wanted to bang his head against the wall just by being the scapegoat for him.
Just like Darian just now, Macklin had spent a lot of effort to pacify him.
But he could only pacify him for a while. Who knew when these two guys would have a conflict? At that time, Macklin would be in trouble …
Nothing could go wrong with Felic. Not to mention the bet with the Adventurers Guild half a year later, the ability he had shown now was enough for Alanna's Guild of Magic to strive for him. Not to mention Darian, even if His Majesty the King came, Macklin would never allow him to touch a hair on Felic.
But the problem was that Darian could not go wrong either …
He was a veteran of the Alanna Guild of Magic. For decades, he had built up a huge force in the guild. If anything were to happen to him because of Felic, wouldn't the others turn the world upside down on the spot?
In this respect, Macklin was not as good as Gerian.
Gerian's decades of hard work had allowed his personal reputation to reach its peak. The Jarrosus Guild of Magic could be said to be his guild alone. In the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, his words were the truth, and no mage dared to defy him.
Gerian's hard work for decades had brought his personal reputation to the peak. The Jarrosus Guild of Magic could be said to be his guild alone. In the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, his words were the truth, and no mage dared to resist.
If that was the case for Gerian, there was no need to mention Macklin, who was even worse than him …
And some things could never be made public.
After a long talk with Aldwin that day, the two had surprisingly agreed on the same thing: Felic's real situation must not be made public.
This kid was too abnormal. It was scary just to think about all kinds of magical things. If other forces knew that there was such a character in Alanna's Guild of Magic, they would probably be entangled in a few days.
Alanna was like this. Robbing talents was better than robbing money. Which force would not want to fight for a talent like Felic?
This guy had even gone beyond the category of talent. If he had to be described with a word, it could only be "all-rounder".
He was proficient in forging and pharmaceutics, and his magical talent was so strong that it made people envious. It would not take long for him to reach the realm of an Archmage. Which force would not want to fight for such an omnipotent young genius?
The real situation of this young genius must not be revealed. So far, no one in the guild knew the real situation except for him and Aldwin. In the eyes of ordinary people, this young man from Jarrosus was just a talented trial mage.
Well … maybe Mason and Orrin knew a little, but only a little. After all, they were still too young, and could only see things on the surface. They must know that their roommate was different, but they were not very clear about what this difference meant …
Macklin had a headache because of all kinds of reasons.
Darian relied on the fact that his nephew was injured and that he was an elder. He was sure that Macklin wouldn't go too far with him, so he had been making trouble every day recently, insisting that Macklin deal with the Jarrosus country bumpkin severely …
In the face of Darian's request, Macklin could only smile bitterly.
He really wanted to tell Darian that if it weren't for this Jarrosus country bumpkin, the Alanna Guild of Magic would be in big trouble after half a year!
Unfortunately, these words could not be said …
Therefore, Macklin could only hold it in. While listening to Darian's complaints, he planned to find a chance to banish this b * tch to a place where even birds wouldn't shit in after this matter was over!
"How do you plan to deal with me, Mr Darian?" Since Macklin had already said so, Lin Li was embarrassed to continue pretending.
"There are no specific requirements, but in general, it can be summed up in two words — severe!"
"…" Lin Li smiled awkwardly. He knew that Macklin must have been under some pressure in this matter. After all, Darian was a veteran of the guild. It was impossible for Macklin to forcibly suppress his opinion without effort.
But this was something that could not be helped.
Some things were like this. You knew that it might cause trouble after doing it, but many times you still had to do it.
Just like Madrick that day.
Lin Li knew that he was Darian's nephew, and he also knew that Darian would never let him off easily after crippling him. But in the end, Lin Li did not hesitate at all, and the Flaming Hands fell without stopping.
The reason why he did this was not so much to help Sean vent his anger, but to show an attitude — if you want to bite me, you must be prepared to be beaten to death!
In Lin Li's view, this was both a warning and a strategy.
At first, he did try forbearance. When he first came to the Alanna Guild of Magic, Darian's attitude was not normal. At that time, Lin Li thought there was some misunderstanding. Later, he was reminded by Mason that Darian deliberately did not inform him to report to the guild hall. Lin Li took note of it at that time, but only kept it in mind, and did not make it clear.
It was not until the incident with Sean that Lin Li was completely enraged.
Since forbearance could not resolve the conflict, he might as well intensify it completely and put everything in the light.
Completely infuriating an Archmage seemed to be a very dangerous thing, but in fact, it was much safer than letting him target him in the dark.
Lin Li's goal was to let everyone know that Darian had a conflict with him. That way, if Darian still wanted to target him, he would have to think about it carefully. If he did so, he would let others have something to hold against him.
Making the enemy worry was the real preemptive strike.
"But you don't have to worry too much about this. Aldwin and I will take care of it." Seeing that Lin Li was silent, Macklin thought he was worried about something. After a few comforting words, he asked him about the purpose of his visit today. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. You didn't come to me today just to take a look at Darian, did you?"
"Oh, yes …" Reminded by him, Lin Li remembered the matter at hand. "Mr. Macklin, can you do me a small favor?"
"What favor?" Macklin's interest was immediately piqued. All along, this kid had been so abnormal that Macklin even felt that this guy did not need help from others in his life.
"It's like this … I got a gem a few days ago. As far as I know, this gem should contain a spell, but when I went to the Spell Testing Hall just now, I couldn't test what spell it was at all, so I was wondering … Can you help me test it?"
"Dragon's Eye?" With Macklin's knowledge, how could he not know what it was? Before Lin Li finished speaking, he had already guessed what gem it was.
"Yes, Dragon's Eye."
"No problem."
Macklin readily agreed. Although Dragon's Eyes were precious, with his status, he had already seen many of them.
To be honest, he was not very interested in this kind of magical gem that was said to be transformed from a dragon's eye. In his opinion, the power of this kind of magical gem was too low. Was there any practical significance to things like Wind Blade Spell or Icicle Spell that could not even break through an Elemental Shield?
Testing the power of the spell was as easy as eating and drinking to Macklin. Without even thinking about it, he took Lin Li directly into the Spell Testing Hall.
"Come on." Macklin waved his staff and propped up an Elemental Shield.
"Oh …" Lin Li nodded and took out the Dragon's Eye from his pocket.
"F * ck!" The fist-sized Dragon's Eye almost drove Macklin crazy on the spot. As soon as he saw the yellow light, the old man's eyes immediately froze.
He didn't expect that the Dragon's Eye that the kid mentioned was actually such a big guy …
"F * ck …" Macklin really wanted to hit the wall. With his understanding of the Dragon's Eye, how could he not know that the level of the spell contained in it was proportional to the size of the Dragon's Eye? The one in the kid's hand was the size of a fist. The spell contained in it … was the level of a Magic Shooter or an Archmage?
"What's the matter, Mr. Macklin? Is there any difficulty?"
"Nonsense! What difficulty? Try it! "With Macklin's character, how could he admit that he was guilty?
However, although he refused to admit it verbally, he did not dare to neglect it at all. He waved his staff again, and a flame rose. Four burning fireballs rotated quickly around Macklin, looking like four bright suns. This was the Flame Shield, a single-element shield that could only be possessed after reaching the level of an Archmage. It was the same concept as the Skeletal Shield on the Lich.
Under the protection of two layers of shields, Macklin took a step back. He braced himself and shouted in a deep voice, "Okay, come on!"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony …" Lin Li clenched the Dragon's Eye in his hand and began to slowly and steadily output mana into it. The orange light gradually became brighter, and under the stimulation of the mana, it was showing a gorgeous golden color little by little …
Everything seemed to be the same as before. The golden light was getting brighter and more gorgeous, as if the room was covered with a layer of gold leaf. When the dazzling light reached its peak, a violent magical wave also broke out.
But this time, the room was no longer deathly silent.
Because Macklin suddenly let out a scream. "F * ck!"
"What's wrong?" Macklin's voice was like a pig being slaughtered, and it shocked Lin Li on the spot. He could not be bothered to study the changes in the Dragon's Eye, and hurriedly went over to support him. "Mr. Macklin, are you okay?"
"I … I'm fine." Macklin shook his head, but his face was a little pale.
"Then …" Lin Li was just about to ask what was going on, but he felt that something was wrong with Macklin. Lin Li was puzzled, and after staring at him carefully for a long time, he finally understood what the problem was.
The two layers of shields that Macklin had just put up had suddenly disappeared without a trace …
