"Mr Shaun, I'm sorry." When Milo said this, he really wanted to find a hole to hide in. He had lived for more than 20 years, and had never been so embarrassed before. He had to apologize to a low-level Adventurer in public. Furthermore, he had to do it in front of a large crowd of pharmacists. Any one of them was a celebrity among celebrities. If this were to spread to Thunder City, he would not be able to raise his head in public anymore.
Shaun had always been called 'Fatty' this and 'Fatty' this and 'Fatty' this and 'Fatty' that. When had he ever heard anyone call him Mr Shaun? Shaun was not mentally prepared, and on top of that, Milo's voice was soft. When this apology fell into his ears, Shaun was stunned. He blinked his eyes blankly, and asked Milo carefully, "What … What did you say?"
"…" Milo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This damned fatty was definitely trying to make things difficult for him. Otherwise, why would he ask such embarrassing questions again and again?
At this moment, Milo really wanted to die.
He had only come with his mentor to see the world. How did he end up in such a situation? Not only did he embarrass himself in public, but he was also forced to apologize again and again by this fatty. If this matter were to spread to Thunder City, he would be utterly embarrassed. Milo really regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed in Thunder City. Why did he come to Alanna? Why could he not control his mouth? Now, more than 10 pharmacists were watching him apologize to a low-level Bandit, and he had even implicated his mentor by offending the Legendary-mage Andoine, who was an important figure in the Supreme Council. In the future, it would be more than 10 times more difficult for the Thunder City Guild of Magic to get support from the Supreme Council …
"Mr Shaun, I'm sorry!" In the end, even Milo forgot how he had said this apology. He only felt dizzy, and everything in front of him seemed to have become abnormally blurry. He seemed to see his mentor, Amman, heave a long sigh, and Andoine nod his head …
He seemed to have heard the young mage named Felic say something.
"Alright, alright …" Amman heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Andoine and the rest leave. He leaned against the chair weakly and patted Milo's shoulder as he consoled him. "It's alright, Milo, they're finally gone …"
Milo did not say anything, but he stared at Lin Li's back with a blank stare.
"I will return the humiliation I suffered today to you sooner or later!"
Lin Li did not care about what Milo was thinking at all.
He was busier than anyone else, busy threatening Sean …
As for what Milo was thinking, Lin Li was not interested at all. To Lin Li, Milo was just a narrow-minded little Magic Shooter. So what if he bore a grudge against him? Would he take revenge on him? What a joke. There were so many people who wanted to take revenge on him. When would it be Milo's turn?
"Hey, fatso …" After coming out from the crowd, Lin Li grabbed Shaun tightly with one hand. This fatso was too dishonest. He wanted to run away as soon as he came out. If it wasn't for Lin Li's quick reflexes that caught him, it would have been like the time in the black market — he would have disappeared again when he turned around.
"Wh … What's the matter, Mr Mage?" Sean swallowed his saliva with difficulty. When he looked at Lin Li, his gaze was a little evasive.
To be honest, if he had a choice, he would rather be seen as a liar than be with this mage named Felic.
This person was too dangerous …
If he was seen as a liar, he would at most be scolded or beaten up at most. But if he was with this mage named Felic, it was very likely that his secret would be exposed.
For some reason, Shaun felt that this person was very dangerous when he first saw him. When he stood in front of him, it was as if he could no longer hide any secrets. It was the feeling of a magical beast meeting its natural enemy. It made Shaun's hair stand on end. The last time he was in the black market, this feeling was not so obvious, but this time in the Pharmacists Guild, Shaun's feeling was abnormally strong. He almost subconsciously wanted to sneak away, but the other party did not give him a chance at all. As soon as he left the crowd, he was caught. Now, he could not escape even if he wanted to. He could only hope that the other party was really just buying herbs, and had not discovered his secret …
"Fatso, let me ask you, what's wrong with you? Why do you run when you see me?" Lin Li was really hurt by this fatso. He did not know what was wrong with this fella. It was not the first time that he ran when he saw him. It made Lin Li want to look in the mirror to see if he really had a fierce face that even a fatso was afraid of him …
"No … No." How would Sean dare to admit it? He hurriedly shook his head.
"Forget it …" Fortunately, this was just a small matter. After asking a few questions, Lin Li threw this matter aside. "Fatso, you're not lying to me, are you? Are there really hundreds of Tricolored Flowers in that batch?"
"Yes, there are." This time, Sean did not lie.
"Very good …" Lin Li nodded, and the smile on his face was very satisfied.
To be honest, he had suspected that this fatso was bragging at first.
He had heard about the Tricolored Flowers in the Nightmare Mountains a long time ago, but he had never heard of anyone who could collect dozens of them at once. As for the hundreds of them, it was simply unbelievable to Lin Li. The Tricolored Flowers did not grow in clusters. Sometimes, there might only be one or two flowers on a mountain, and they often grew in inconspicuous places. Wildflowers, bushes, and bushes — they would grow wherever they were hidden. If one did not have a special way to distinguish them, it would be impossible to collect a large batch at once, not to mention a shocking number of hundreds of them.
Fortunately, from this fella's reaction, it seemed that he was not bragging.
As long as the hundreds of Tricolored Flowers really existed, Lin Li had nothing to say. As for why the fatso was afraid of him, it was something that could be studied in the future when he had the time.
"Fatso, follow me first. After the gathering, bring me to collect the Tricolored Flowers. Don't worry about the money, I will not give you a single copper coin less."
"Alright …" Sean nodded, and did not dare to say anything else.
"Felic, come here quickly." Lin Li was talking when he saw Andoine waving at him from afar. He gestured for him to come over. "Let me introduce you to an old friend."
"Why are there so many old friends?" Lin Li mumbled softly.
"Come, Felic, let me introduce you. This is President Balbo." Andoine's introduction was unprecedentedly formal. At least in today's gathering, Lin Li had never seen Andoine introduce anyone in such a formal manner. Most of the so-called old friends at the beginning would just say something like "this is so-and-so," and "what does he do." He had never added any other form of address behind his name …
"Balbo, his name is Felic. He's a mage apprentice that I took in a few months ago. What do you think? I have good taste, don't I?" Andoine's eyes were filled with pride when he said that.
It was no wonder that Andoine was so proud. He was very clear about how outstanding his disciple was. He was a near-perfect genius in magic, and at the same time, he was proficient in pharmaceutics. According to Macklin, this kid was probably a pretty good blacksmith. Such a genius might not appear in hundreds of years. How could Andoine not be proud when he had the chance to be his magic mentor?
It was not an exaggeration to say that the proudest thing that Andoine had done in his life of more than a hundred years was to teach this young man magic.
"Hello, President Balbo." Standing next to Andoine was an old man in a black robe who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. Like Andoine, he was thin and had white hair. However, when the two of them stood together, they gave off a completely different vibe.
Andoine had always been slovenly. His hair and beard were messy, and his robe was always stained with potion. When Lin Li saw him for the first time, he thought that this old man had just come out from a rubbish dump …
However, the old man in the black robe in front of him was completely different. His white beard seemed to have been meticulously trimmed, and Lin Li could not find a single strand of messy hair. Although the black robe was simple, it was exceptionally fitting on him. There was not a single wrinkle or stain on him, and he did not give off the vibe of an old man in his 60s or 70s at all. Instead, he looked like he was in his prime, and was glowing.
When Andoine introduced Lin Li, Balbo's face revealed a slight smile. "You are Felic?"
"Yes, President Balbo." Lin Li nodded respectfully, but he had some doubts in his heart. From what Balbo said, it seemed that he had heard of him?
Balbo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. "Hehe, I heard Burnside talk about you."
"Oh, I see …" Lin Li was a little embarrassed when he mentioned Old Grimm's name. Back when he was in Jarrosus, he had promised Old Grimm that if he came to Alanna, he would find a chance to visit him. But in the end, after he came to Alanna, he had been pestered by all sorts of things. He actually did not visit Old Grimm even once.
"How is Mage Grimm?"
"He's fine." Balbo smiled. "When we were preparing for the gathering in the morning, he mentioned you to me. He said that you would definitely come with Andoine today. I didn't expect it to be true …"
"Then, where is he now?"
"He has some small matters to settle now. He might only come when the gathering starts …" After Balbo finished speaking, he joked with Andoine. "Andoine, weren't you always envious that I had a genius disciple? Why don't we swap now?"
"Dream on!" Andoine rejected him without even thinking about it. What a joke. A monster like Felic might not even appear in a few hundred years. Not to mention one genius, he wouldn't exchange for 10 geniuses even if he was given 10.
"Hehe, I'm just joking. You don't have to be so nervous. How about this, before the gathering starts, I'll bring you to see something good?"
"What something good?"
