The next day, Sean was stopped by Lin Li as soon as the sky brightened.
This fella got up early in the morning, and planned to sneak out quietly like he did a few days ago. But today, he heard Lin Li's voice coming from behind just as his hand touched the door handle.
"Morning, Sean."
"Morning, Mr Felic …" The greeting from behind almost scared the living daylights out of Sean. He turned around in horror, and saw Lin Li poking his head out from the blanket and looking at him with a strange smile.
How could Sean possibly know that Lin Li had woken up early today in order to stop him? He had even placed a Warlock's Eyes in the room to monitor him. Not to mention that he left quietly, even if he knew the Invisibility Spell, he wouldn't be able to escape …
Looking at Sean's flustered look, Lin Li knew that this fella wanted to sneak out again …
If it were a few days ago, Lin Li would most likely turn a blind eye. After all, Sean's improvement in strength was obvious to all these days. Sometimes, even Lin Li had some doubts. If this continued, would Sean surpass him in level? Naturally, no one would complain about such a good thing. Even if Sean refused to say anything, Lin Li would still continue to support him. After all, he had an instinctive trust in Sean.
But not today, there were more important things to do today …
Lin Li coughed, and asked casually, "Going out to buy food?"
Sean was asked guiltily, and could only answer vaguely, "Uh uh … Mr Felic, what do you want to eat? Shall I buy it for you?"
"No need, we'll go out to eat later." Lin Li said as he put on the Robe of the Void. After folding the blanket, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned around to remind Sean. "Oh, yes, don't run around today. Follow me to the Fire Plume Ridge later."
"Fire Plume Ridge?" Sean was dumbfounded for a long time before he was finally sure that Lin Li was not joking with him. For a moment, Sean even stuttered. "Really … Really the Fire Plume Ridge?"
"Otherwise, what do you think …" Lin Li put on the Robe of the Void, and did not explain further. He only urged the dumbfounded Sean. "Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and pack up. We may only be back for a few days. "
"Oh …"
Sean did not have much to pack. He only had a double-edged sword and a Fire Salamandrid leather armor. These two pieces of equipment cost him 200,000 gold coins. Sean could not bear to use them normally. Not only did he keep them in his room, but he also cleaned them three times a day. This made him wonder if he had bought them at all. Wasn't he afraid that it would rust if he treated it like this every day?
Fortunately, Sean was wearing the Fire Salamandrid leather armor for the first time today. He carried the Abyss Fiendish Iron Greatsword on his back and looked mighty and majestic. He really had the temperament of a high-level warrior.
When the two of them came out of the Guild of Magic, the streets were still a little deserted. There were only a few hawkers selling breakfast pushing carts and handing steaming breakfasts to the customers. Lin Li was also a person who disliked trouble. After buying breakfast for himself and Sean, he stood on the street and munched on it, causing a few customers who were buying breakfast to look at him with disdain. They had probably never seen such an unscrupulous mage …
Sean was eating his breakfast, but his expression was a little distracted. There were several times when he wanted to speak, but every time the words came to his mouth, he hesitantly swallowed them back.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't wriggle there. It's making me dizzy …" Lin Li looked at his expression and knew that this fella must have something to say.
"Mr Felic, I want …"
"What's there to think about? Hurry up and go. Don't wriggle here. You've been gone for a few days. You should at least inform someone. After all, they've taught you martial arts for a few days."
"You … You …" Sean was dumbfounded. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. After saying "you" for a long time, he finally uttered a complete sentence. "How do you know everything?"
"How can I not know …" Lin Li rolled his eyes. You're like a thief every day. You go out in the morning and come back at night with a mysterious look on your face. Your improvement in strength is even faster than others who have practiced the Yin-Yang Combination and Dual Cultivation. Even a blind person can see it. If it weren't for the guidance of an expert, how could you improve to this extent?
Of course, Lin Li did not say this out loud. He only waved his hand impatiently. "Hurry up and go. I'll go to the shop where I bought the equipment for you last time. When you're done, look for me there directly."
"Oh …"
After chasing Sean away, Lin Li finished the breakfast in his hands in a few mouthfuls. Then, he slowly walked to the equipment shop at the corner of the street.
"What's going on …" Lin Li realized something was wrong as soon as he entered the door. The things in the shop were in a frightening mess. The weapons and armor were scattered all over the ground. It looked like a locust plague had just happened.
Buck was bending over to pack up. One of his hands was still covering his left cheek. It looked swollen.
"What's the matter, Boss Buck?"
"No … Nothing." Buck stood up with difficulty while covering his left cheek. He squeezed out an ugly smile at Lin Li. "It's my bad luck. I met a troublemaker early in the morning …"
"Oh." Lin Li nodded, and did not continue to ask. This kind of thing was too common in Alanna. The equipment business was, to put it bluntly, an arms business. Which of those who came and went here were good citizens who knew their place?
If you don't believe me, you can ask the vendors selling breakfast outside. See if they would come here to buy weapons and armor?
This kind of place had always been a place of trouble. What happened today was considered light. Blood would be spilled if there was a disagreement. It was as common as eating a meal.
Moreover, it was not Lin Li's turn to worry about this kind of thing.
Since Buck could run an equipment shop and a smelting workshop at the same time, how could such a person not have a background? He had suffered a loss today, but he would definitely get it back in a few days. Lin Li did not have to worry about him at all.
"Oh, yes, Boss Buck. Is my batch of magical beast leather done?"
"It's done. Mage Felic, please take a seat. I'll bring it over for you."
Buck took out a parcel from the storeroom. It was filled with ten pieces of tanned Fire Salamandrid leather.
After a few polite words, Lin Li asked Buck to introduce him to a leather shop that he was familiar with. Since there were no special requirements, Lin Li was too lazy to do it himself. He processed the ten pieces of Fire Salamandrid leather in a leather shop on the opposite street. There was a total of two pieces of leather armor, two pairs of leather boots, and two pairs of leather gloves.
After returning to Buck's shop, Lin Li saw that Sean had not arrived yet. He simply borrowed a room from Buck, and concentrated on processing the two sets of leather armor.
This was the most crucial step. Although the Fire Salamandrid leather had a strong resistance to fire, it was difficult to withstand the high temperature of the Fire Plume Ridge before it was processed with inscriptions. This was also the reason why Lin Li had to get the raw leather. Otherwise, he could barely test the waters of the Fire Plume Ridge with the one that Sean had.
After Lin Li closed the door, he first took out a bottle of Fire Resistance Potion from the Ring of Endless Storm.
When Lin Li was in the Endless World, he most often drank various kinds of Resistance Potions. It could not be helped. For a Hunter fighting in the Well of the Sun, Resistance Potions were too important. Without them, he could be blasted to death by all kinds of magic at any time.
But when he came to Anril, Lin Li almost never drank these things.
This was the difference between a mage and a Hunter.
Although the Resistance Potion could increase one's magic resistance, it would also severely weaken one's sensitivity to magical elements. For a mage, drinking the Resistance Potion to cast spells was like wearing dozens of condoms …
But the bottle of Fire Resistance Potion in his hand was not for drinking.
Putting the Fire Resistance Potion aside, Lin Li continued to take out things from the Ring of Endless Storm. He took out a bottle of star sand, a glass beaker, and a crystal pen.
After all the materials were ready, Lin Li picked up the star sand, and very carefully poured a little into the beaker. This thing was not like the blue sea sand, which could be found in magic material stores all over the world. The bottle in Lin Li's hand was obtained from the Gilded Rose through his relationship with Ysera.
A thin layer of star sand floated at the bottom of the beaker. It looked like a sea of stars. At a glance, it was really as bright and dazzling as the stars in the night sky. After Lin Li admired it for a while, he opened the cork of the Fire Resistance Potion, and gently poured some into the beaker.
After doing all this, Lin Li held the beaker in one hand and recited a short spell at the same time. A Flaming Hands lit up. He carefully controlled his mana to ensure that the temperature of the Flaming Hands was maintained within a very low range. This was an essential process in concocting Star Ink. The magical elements contained in the star sand had to be heated before they could be released.
As Lin Li released his mana bit by bit, the star sand and the Fire-resistant Potion in the beaker began to gradually fuse together, and a white mist filled the room. Lin Li carefully observed the changes of the two materials while gently shaking the beaker in order to make the two materials fuse more evenly.
"Poof poof poof …" Under the heat of the Flaming Hands, the Fire Resistance Potion began to bubble. The white mist that lingered gradually mixed with a pungent smell. This was the unique smell of star sand. When this smell appeared, it meant that the bottle of Star Ink had been concocted.
Lin Li dispersed the flames in his hand, and placed the concocted Star Ink on the table. Then, he spread out the two leather armors separately, and began to construct the outline of two mageweaths in his mind.
Lin Li had been planning these two mageweaths for almost more than a month. At this time, he picked up the crystal pen and only needed to recall a little to determine the outline of the two mageweaths.
The crystal pen lightly dipped into the star ink, and dipped a little bit of thick, light red liquid …
