When he returned to the Guild of Magic, it was lunchtime. Mason and Orrin were there, but Sean was still nowhere to be seen.
Speaking of Sean, Lin Li felt a little strange.
Ever since the day of the meal, this fella often disappeared for the whole day. When he came back the next day, Lin Li also asked him once about where he had gone, but this fella only managed to say, "I'm sorry, Mr Felic. I promised someone to keep it a secret."
This sentence made Lin Li not know whether to laugh or cry. Since he had even promised to keep it a secret, Lin Li really could not ask more.
But after this fella kept it a secret, he continued to disappear the next day.
As a result, Lin Li began to wonder if this fella had fallen in love in Alanna these two days.
Yes, and it was a double cultivation …
Otherwise, how could Sean's strength improve so quickly?
In the past few days, Lin Li was really shocked by Sean.
This fella's improvement was really too fast. Almost every day when he came back, Lin Li would immediately feel that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds again. The change was too obvious. Not to mention Lin Li, who was naturally sensitive to strength, even a blind man would be able to see it.
So much so that Lin Li could not figure out what kind of encounter could bring such a huge improvement to Sean.
Lin Li naturally knew Sean's strength better than anyone else since he brought Sean to Alanna.
When he first came to Alanna, Sean's strength was at most level-seven. But in the past few days, Lin Li could clearly feel that Sean's strength was probably close to level-ten.
From level-seven to level-ten, this kind of improvement could only be described as a leap.
When he was in Jarrosus, Lin Li had experienced such a leap. He knew better than others how abnormal this speed of improvement was.
Seeing Sean becoming stronger day by day, Lin Li was almost suffocated by his own curiosity.
But this fella Sean refused to say anything. Sometimes when he was anxious, he would use that "promised someone to keep it a secret" to dodge the question, which made Lin Li gnash his teeth in hatred …
When he returned to the residence, Mason and Orrin were eating.
Ever since the Supreme Council's decision was announced, the two fellas had been terrifyingly diligent, especially Mason, who had always been lazy. He had been going to the Omniscient Tower every day, reading until nine o 'clock at night every day. After he returned, he refused to settle down, and insisted on dragging Orrin to the Spell Testing Hall to spar with him.
The profession of mages was fair. Hard work would definitely bring rewards. Just two days ago, Mason had finally broken through level-10 and reached the realm of Magic Shooter that he had been dreaming of.
Of course, the price of breaking through to the realm of a Magic Shooter was to be beaten up by Orrin every day. Almost every night when he came back, he would lie in bed and groan for a long time before falling asleep.
Orrin was now a real level-12 Magic Shooter. Even if he were to encounter Lin Li, he would definitely be able to put up a fight. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to teach a level-10 Magic Shooter a lesson?
"Felic, you're back?" Mason's face was still swollen and bruised today. When Lin Li entered the door, he was gnawing on his bread while glaring at Orrin with hatred.
"I just came back." Lin Li responded, and then asked curiously, "Oh, yes, why didn't you go to the Omniscient Tower today?"
"Don't mention it … I was stopped by the old man when I woke up in the morning. He kept nagging me until just now." After Mason finished speaking, he glared at Orrin fiercely. "Gigolo, why don't you go and fight again after your meal? I'm going to teach you a lesson today! "
"Idiot." Orrin did not even raise his head, and directly threw a sentence at him.
"…" Lin Li was speechless. These two fellows would not feel comfortable if they did not fight for a day, especially Mason. Recently, it was as if he was addicted to being abused. Every day, he would be beaten black and blue, but he still challenged every day. This spirit of getting stronger the more he was beaten, no ordinary person could compare to him.
"Oh, yes, Felic …" Lin Li had just sat down and gnawed on his bread when Mason remembered something. "Just now, the old man said to not go out after you come back. He will come to look for you in the afternoon. He has something to talk to you about."
"Oh." Lin Li nodded, and buried his head to gnaw on his bread.
It just so happened that he also planned to talk to Macklin.
On the way back just now, he had already planned to go to the Fire Plume Ridge after getting the Fire Salamandrid skin tomorrow. The matter of the black lotus had been dragged on for too long. If it continued to drag on, it would be big trouble if there were any unforeseen events.
Moreover …
After knowing that he might be subject to the revenge of the Marathon Family, Lin Li's heart was more or less perturbed. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried in the face of such a colossus. Although Lin Li was not afraid of the Marathon Family, under such circumstances, he would naturally be calmer if he could have more bargaining chips in his hands.
And the black lotus was undoubtedly the best bargaining chip.
Thinking back to the duel with Cromwell in Jarrosus City, if it weren't for the Elixir of the Sages in hand, it would have been hard to predict what the outcome would have been if Cromwell had cast a level-18 spell on him.
The Fire Plume Ridge was not far, but it was not near either. Anyway, once he went, he would definitely not be back for a few days.
After all, Macklin was a trial mentor. It would be unreasonable not to inform him that he would be gone for a few days.
Actually, apart from that, Lin Li had another idea …
It was just that this idea was still at the stage of speculation. Whether it was true or not, he would only know when he went to the Fire Plume Ridge …
"Gigolo, are you done eating?" Mason swallowed the last mouthful of bread, and stared at Orrin provocatively. "I'm going to beat your face black today!"
"Idiot, just you wait …"
Then, these two fellows went out in a lingering manner …
As soon as Mason and Orrin left, Macklin knocked on the door.
"I finally found you, kid …" Macklin complained incessantly as soon as he entered the door. "I say, Felic, where have you been this morning? I've been waiting for you till my hair has turned white."
"I went to the black market, and bought some things on the way. Do you have to be so anxious?" Lin Li rolled his eyes. Could it be that exaggeration was also contagious? This old fellow had not seen him for a few days, and his words were even more exaggerated than Mason's …
"This is a big deal!" Macklin shouted fiercely.
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and tell me, what's the big deal …"
After being urged by Lin Li, Macklin coughed dryly, and started to talk about the so-called big deal. "The people from the Pharmacists Guild came this morning, and sent you an invitation letter. They said that they invited you to attend some meeting …"
"What do you mean by meeting?" Lin Li was confused.
"How would I know? I'm not a pharmacist …"
"…"
"Oh, yes. He also asked me to tell you that this invitation letter was personally sent by Grimm Burnside." After Macklin finished, he looked at Lin Li suspiciously. "You actually know Grimm Burnside?"
"Yes, he gave me some pointers in magic." At the mention of Old Grimm, Lin Li was a little embarrassed. When he was in Jarrosus, Old Grimm did his best to help him improve his strength, but when he came to Alanna, he did not go to see him even once. Speaking of this, it did not seem very kind. Why not just take this opportunity to go and see Old Grimm, and at the same time take a look at that meeting … Damn it, could it be any more awkward?
"Kid, your luck is really good …" Macklin listened with envy. When he was at Lin Li's age, he did not even see many Archmages, not to mention Legendary-mages. As for pointers … He wondered if being beaten up by an Archmage counted as pointers?
"Where's the invitation letter? Let me see it. "
"Oh, yes …" Only then did Macklin remember that he had talked for so long, and had forgotten the invitation letter. He hurriedly fumbled in his pocket, and took out a crumpled letter.
"This …" Lin Li looked at the letter, and then looked at Macklin. For a moment, he was a little confused. Was this really an invitation letter from the Pharmacists Guild? Could it be that this old fellow was careless and mistakenly stuffed the toilet paper into his pocket as an invitation letter?
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything. When I got this letter, it was already like this …" Macklin defended himself with an innocent face.
"Is that so …" Lin Li looked at him strangely, and then opened the letter to read ten lines at a glance.
There was nothing much to say in the contents of the letter. It was some ordinary diplomatic language, and the actual content was pitifully small. It was nothing more than a strange formula found in the Pharmacists Guild, and if Master Felic was interested, he could come to the Pharmacists Guild after a week to study it together …
"What formula is so powerful …" Lin Li was a little puzzled. He more or less had some understanding of the Pharmacists Guild. In Andoine's words, in the Pharmacists Guild, even the gatekeeper could concoct Recovery Potions. How could such a place that represented the highest level of pharmaceutics in the Felan Kingdom be troubled by a potion formula? Could it be … that it was a Guru-level, or even a Divine-level formula?
Lin Li was shocked by this sudden thought. He was in a daze for a long time before he forced himself to put this matter to the back of his mind.
"Oh, yes, Mr Macklin, I intend to take a few days off from you."
"Take a leave?" Macklin was stunned.
"Yes, about four or five days. I have some private matters that I need to deal with."
"What private matters are so troublesome that it actually takes so long? Do you need my help?" Macklin was a little nervous. This kid was the treasure of the Alanna Guild of Magic. If something happened to him without his and Aldwin's protection, it would be too late for regrets. It was a sensitive period now. God knew when the Marathon Family would be dishonest again …
"It's not a big deal. I'm just going to get something. Don't worry, I'll be back in four or five days."
"Then be careful yourself …" Seeing that he refused to say, Macklin did not want to force him too much. He only cautioned him carefully.
"Yes, I will." Lin Li nodded.
