Actually, Milo did not think too much when he said that. He just thought that Shaun was annoying, and did not want to see him close the deal in front of him.
But in Lin Li's ears, it was more or less grating. Wasn't this guy being a busybody …?
It's fine if you don't want to buy it, but you're not allowing me to buy it? What kind of logic is this?
If it were any other time, Lin Li would not have given him a good look. But, fortunately, after Andoine's nagging today, this fella finally restrained himself a little. Even if it was not pleasing to the ear, he only frowned slightly, and maintained a polite smile on his face.
"Thank you for the reminder, but …"
Lin Li did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Milo almost exploded in anger when he saw Lin Li's cold expression. In Milo's opinion, this young mage did not know what was good for him. Not only did Lin Li not thank him for his kind advice, but he even used such a tone to speak to him. He even said "thank you for the reminder". Would I, the disciple of the President of the Thunder City Guild of Magic, deceive you like this fat bandit?
This exchange put Milo in a difficult position, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly.
"Are you the accomplice of this liar?"
"Huh?" Lin Li was stunned. He did not understand what Milo meant.
"Stop pretending." Milo glanced at Lin Li with disdain. "Who do you think you can deceive? If you're not the accomplice of this liar, why would you work so hard to cover for him? Unfortunately, you guys are still too stupid. You forgot that this is the Pharmacists Guild. Everyone here is an experienced pharmacist. Do you really think that everyone here is as stupid as you to be able to use hundreds of Tricolored Flowers? "
"…" Lin Li stared at Milo for a long time. He really did not know whether to laugh or cry. Is there something wrong with this fella's brain? I've only bought some Tricolored Flowers, and I've become the accomplice of a liar. If I were to buy something else, wouldn't I become a liar?
Besides, what does this have to do with you?
It's like I bought some Tricolored Flowers. I have to explain to you that apart from reducing mistakes, the Tricolored Flowers can also be used to solve a problem that even Old Grimm couldn't solve. F * ck, are you the one with nothing better to do?
"What's the matter? Can't keep up the act anymore …" At first, Milo was just embarrassed, so he said that he was a scammer or an accomplice. However, the more he said, the more he felt that it was the case. If this young Magician wasn't the fat Bandit's accomplice, he wouldn't have picked this time to buy Tricolored Flowers, let alone hundreds of them. He was obviously covering for the swindler.
"I …" Lin Li opened his mouth, but realized that he could not communicate with him at all. This fellow's way of thinking was not something a human should have. It was like the legendary Great Prophecy — if he said you were a liar, then you were a liar. If you dared to deny it, then you had ulterior motives. That was probably what a delusional person referred to …
Lin Li shook his head. He was not interested in communicating with this delusional person. "Forget it …"
Unfortunately, even though he wanted to let it go, Milo did not.
Milo was Amman's only disciple. In Thunder City, where the Guild of Magic was the dominant force, even the Castellan had to be polite to him, not to mention these two swindlers who came out of nowhere. Not only did they lie to others, but they even dared to lie to Milo. How could Milo swallow this insult?
"Forget it? I think you're just feeling guilty … "Milo's face was gloomy, and he stared at Lin Li." Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. Since you can't lie to us, you want to lie to others? I advise you to give up. Everyone in the Pharmacists Guild is an experienced pharmacist like my mentor. Your little tricks won't be able to fool anyone. Don't waste your energy. "
"…" Lin Li rolled his eyes. He realized that he did not have to say anything, because no matter what he said, it would be used as evidence by the other party.
Lin Li did not mind. Anyway, the gathering had not started, and the people from the Pharmacists Guild had not shown up. It was boring to follow Andoine around to meet people. He might as well listen to the thoughts of the delusional person. It could be considered as doing good, right …
However, Sean, who was standing at the side, was shocked. The term 'swindler' was not a big deal. Being a swindler in the black market and scamming passersby was not a big deal. After all, he might not be able to see them again after today. Even if he did see them again, he would at most be beaten up. For the thick-skinned Sean, this was nothing at all.
But this was the Pharmacists Guild …
Being treated as a swindler here was not as simple as being beaten up. Which of the people present was not a famous figure? Even if they were the worst, they were at least like Milo, who had some background. Even if Sean was given a hundred guts, he would not dare to deceive these big shots. If he were to provoke them even a little, it might be a disaster that could cost him his life …
"Mr Mage, I think … I think …" Shaun hesitated. "I think we should forget about this business …"
"Forget about it?" Lin Li almost jumped up. The matter of the Sobriety Potion had been bothering him for a few months. This time, he had finally thought of the Tricolored Flowers. How could he let a large batch of Tricolored Flowers slip away from his eyes? He grabbed Shaun's collar with one hand, and the expression on his face was unusually fierce. "Don't you dare. Be careful that I will get Elijah to look for you every day!"
"…" Shaun almost cried out. It was not like he did not know how hard it was to make a living in Alanna. He was relying on selling the cubs of magical beasts to get by. If this mage really got Elijah to look for him every day, how could he continue his business?
"Just stay here obediently. Once the exchange is over, bring me to get the three leaf clovers. You don't have to worry about the money, I won't give you a single copper coin less. However, if you dare to play any tricks on me, don't blame Elijah for being rude to you …"
After threatening Shaun, Lin Li turned around, and smilingly said to Milo, "Listen to my advice, take your medicine as soon as possible. Your illness cannot be delayed any longer …"
"…"
After Lin Li said that, the few pharmacists who were watching the commotion almost laughed out loud. This fella was too vicious …
"What did you say!?" Mi Luo's face immediately turned red. He had lived for more than 20 years and had never been humiliated like this before. Even the City Lord of Thunder City had to be polite to him. But now, he was being pointed at by a swindler who came out of nowhere and scolded that he should go and take his medicine. Based on Mi Luo's character, how could he tolerate it?
As soon as he finished speaking, Milo had already stood up with a whoosh.
"Do you dare to say that again?"
"Why not …" Lin Li pursed his lips, and looked at Milo as if he was really looking at a patient.
"You …" Milo was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He could not believe that this fella dared to look down on him. As he panted, he pointed at Lin Li with a trembling finger. His eyes seemed to be on fire.
"Really, Mage Milo. Listen to my advice. Take some medicine …"
"Hahaha …"
The expression on Lin Li's face was unusually sincere, but the pharmacists who were watching the commotion burst into laughter …
"Good, good, good …" Milo's face turned ashen as he repeated the word "good" a few times. Almost at the same time, an intense mana fluctuation radiated from Milo at a rapid speed.
"Milo, stop it!" Amman couldn't sit still any longer. This wasn't the Thunder City Guild of Magic, and it wasn't a place where Milo could create a ruckus. To put it bluntly, other than the fat bandit, it would be hard to find anyone who was of a lower status than them in this gathering.
After all, Amman had lived a few decades longer than Milo. His foresight was naturally not comparable to Milo's.
Indeed, there was nothing special about this young mage.
However, who could be sure that he did not have a powerful background?
He was someone who had bought hundreds of Tricolored Flowers. Taking these hundreds of Tricolored Flowers back was equivalent to turning hundreds of bottles of potion into waste. Who would dare to do that without extraordinary wealth?
The waters in Alanna were too deep. It was better to keep a low profile …
"Yes, Mentor." Since Amman had already spoken, Milo naturally did not dare to disobey. He stared at Lin Li with hatred before slowly dispersing the mana that he had gathered. The strong magical wave in the surroundings also gradually calmed down.
The pharmacists who were watching the commotion at the side all heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
After all, this was the territory of the Pharmacists Guild. It was alright to watch the commotion, but it would be troublesome if someone were to die. What if Balbo got angry and stopped the conference? They were still hoping to get some lost formulas from the Pharmacists Guild …
At the same time, Shaun also heaved a sigh of relief …
His invitation was not obtained through proper means, and he was already trembling with fear when he participated in this conference. If something were to happen because of him, wouldn't he be caught by the people from the Pharmacists Guild immediately?
Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't cause any big trouble …
Just when everyone heaved a sigh of relief, an old voice suddenly came from the crowd. "Why is it so lively?"
"Master Andoine." Amman almost stood up with a "whoosh", and greeted the person who came with a respectful expression.
Not only Amman, but the group of pharmacists who were watching the commotion also turned around at the same time, and greeted Andoine respectfully. This was a person who had broken through the Legendary-realm a few decades ago. His influence had long surpassed the scope of his profession. Everyone present, regardless of whether they were mages or not, had heard of this Legendary-mage's story.
The influence of a Legendary powerhouse was that terrifying. When he appeared in a place, no one would dare to be disrespectful to him, and no one would dare to ignore his existence.
