The competition came to an end amidst the cheers. Lin Li, who was eager to return home, waited anxiously for Kevin while listening to Macklin's nagging in his ear.
"Damn it, how many times have I told you, don't look for trouble, don't look for trouble. Why don't you listen to me? You've gone so far this time, and Wilhelm is willing to let you and the Jarrosus Guild of Magic go? "
"Yes, yes, yes …" There were still many doubts about the attack on the Emerald Tower, and Lin Li did not intend to tell the old man about it. He just stood there obediently and listened to the nagging lecture. It was not until the old man's saliva was almost dry that Lin Li suddenly said, "Oh, yes, there's something I need to discuss with you …"
"What is it?"
"I plan to return to Jarrosus tonight."
"Huh?" Macklin was shocked. "Why the rush?"
"Something happened at the Emerald Tower. Gerian asked me to hurry back."
"Can you delay it?" Macklin frowned, looking a little embarrassed. "The trial has ended successfully. The guild must have some celebration or something. You, the protagonist, are gone, what are we going to celebrate for? Besides, your performance in this final can be said to be unprecedentedly excellent. The Supreme Council will definitely reward you. It will be a great loss if you leave like this … "
"What can I do? Who asked Gerian to be so anxious …" Lin Li pursed his lips and pushed the blame to Gerian.
"Gerian, this bastard …"
"Oh, yes, if I remember correctly, the bet between the Guild of Magic and the Adventurers Guild should be three months later, right? Don't worry, no matter how busy I am, I will find a way to rush back to Alanna. "
After Herza announced the winner, the trial came to a successful end. Aldwin said a few words as usual, but most of them were insignificant. It was nothing more than highly praising the performance of the trial apprentices, and sincerely thanking the Supreme Council and the distinguished guests …
While waiting for Kevin to drive the carriage over, Lin Li greeted the people at the VIP seats one by one. After all, he had met them once at the Pharmacists Guild, and they were considered acquaintances. In particular, Englos, Sendros, Hoffman, and the others had helped him greatly when Orrin was in trouble. How could he not greet them now that he had met them?
The VIPs were also surprisingly enthusiastic, and all of them addressed Lin Li as Master Felic affectionately. Hoffman, in particular, smiled widely when he heard that Lin Li was about to take charge of a Guild of Magic built in the Breezy Plains. It was no joke to have such a powerful neighbor. As long as he could build a good relationship with Lin Li, the Glittergold Trade Union would definitely benefit from it in the future. Hence, he smiled even more enthusiastically.
When he saw the enthusiastic smile, Macklin could not help but curse in his heart. Damn it, Hoffman, that bastard. He actually poached the Guild of Magic …
After exchanging greetings with the few distinguished guests, Herza called Lin Li over for a long talk. It was not anything important, just that the Supreme Council would give Lin Li a certain degree of reward due to his excellent performance. At the same time, he also mentioned the matter of taking charge of a new guild. When he heard that Lin Li had to make a trip back to Jarrosus, Herza even asked him a few questions out of concern. The two talked for almost half an hour. It was only when the sound of hooves was heard from afar that Herza ended the conversation reluctantly. At the end of the conversation, Herza told Lin Li that the Supreme Council would send a controller to Jarrosus in half a month. By then, this controller would arrange everything for him and help him build a new Guild of Magic in the Breezy Plains.
Perhaps it was because Lin Li was eager to return, the trial ended rather hastily. After bidding farewell to everyone, Kevin also drove the carriage into the Aurora Square.
"Then, goodbye, everyone!"
Sean's strong body, which was like that of a magical beast, took up more than half of the space in the carriage. When he saw Lin Li enter, this good-natured young man who had been missing for almost a month suddenly became nervous. "Mr … Mr Felic …"
"Good evening, Sean." Lin Li greeted him with a face full of smiles. How could he not know why Sean was nervous? This fella must be afraid that he would ask him where he had been for the past month. Lin Li smiled. "Don't be so nervous. I know you promised someone and can't say anything. Don't worry, I won't force you to say what you don't want to say …"
"Thank you, Mr Felic."
"Oh, yes. Sean, I see that you're close to level-14. Will it affect your breakthrough if I ask you to follow me back to Jarrosus this time?"
"No … It won't."
"That's good …" After chatting with Sean for a while, Lin Li then poked half of his head out of the carriage. "Kevin, Ina didn't come with you?"
"Yes." Kevin nodded, and told him everything in detail.
This matter was somewhat coincidental. In the afternoon, after Kevin rented a carriage, he first went back to the Alanna Guild of Magic. He found Sean, who had just returned, in the room. After that, the two of them followed Lin Li's instructions and drove the carriage to the Silver Hand's encampment. Unexpectedly, they did not even see a shadow when they arrived. After much difficulty, they found an adventurer who stayed behind to ask, and only then did they know that the Silver Hand had just accepted a big mission. The whole team had been dispatched, and only less than 10 low-level members were left to stay behind.
"Oh …" After listening, Lin Li did not continue to ask. In fact, he was more at ease leaving Ina in the Silver Hand. Serena, that woman, was shrewd and protective. Although it was not absolutely safe to follow her, it was unlikely that he would suffer any major losses.
Along the way, the three of them took turns driving the carriage. When it was almost late at night, they passed by the familiar Blackhills Town. But this time, Lin Li did not dare to stay overnight in Blackhills Town. It could not be helped. He did not know if it was because of this place, but every time he stayed overnight in Blackhills Town, there would always be a few deaths. Now that the Emerald Tower had suffered a fire, and Gerian's whereabouts were unknown, how could Lin Li dare to delay in this place?
The three of them traveled through the night, and did not even have time to catch their breath. Finally, they reached the boundary of Jarrosus before dusk of the next day. The carriage rolled up billowing dust along the way, and everything around gradually became familiar. Lin Li looked out from the carriage, and could clearly see the spire of the Emerald Tower gradually becoming clearer in his sight.
"I'm back, Jarrosus."
…
Returning to Jarrosus, which he had not seen for a long time, and breathing the familiar air, Lin Li's mood suddenly became urgent.
"Let's go back to the Emerald Tower first."
"Yes, Mr Felic." Sean shook the reins in his hand, and drove the carriage through the streets. Nothing in Jarrosus seemed to have changed. The Gilded Rose was still doing well, and the Adventurers Guild was still bustling …
The only difference was that the Emerald Tower seemed to be a little too lively today.
Before the carriage turned the corner, Lin Li heard a quarrel coming from afar. After listening carefully, he realized that the quarrel was coming from the Emerald Tower. Lin Li could not help but be puzzled, and hurriedly urged Sean to speed up. The carriage passed through the streets with a "tick tock" sound, and arrived at the foot of the Emerald Tower in a short while.
"What the hell is going on …" Lin Li muttered as soon as he saw the scene under the Emerald Tower. A team of about 30 people was blocking the entrance of the Emerald Tower tightly. All of them had weapons in their hands, and their faces were ferocious. Even a fool would know that this group of fellas did not come to the Emerald Tower for a simple stroll.
What made Lin Li feel most strange was that although these 30 people looked ferocious, their strength was not worth mentioning at all. The strongest among them was only a level-10 warrior in his thirties. This person had a deep and long scar on his face, as if an earthworm was crawling on his face. Just looking at it made one feel disgusted. He was wearing a low-quality leather armor commonly used by adventurers, and holding a machete made of fine iron in his hand. At this time, he was blocking the entrance of the Emerald Tower carelessly, looking like a usury creditor who had come to press for repayment.
"This works too?" Lin Li's eyes were wide open …
Ever since the fall of the Merlin Family, the reputation of the Emerald Tower could be said to be unparalleled. Even if the Mannes Family was as rich as a country, even if the Saruman Family was incomparably mysterious, they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Emerald Tower. Lin Li could not understand it. As the saying went, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if the Emerald Tower had been burned down, it was still once the number one force in Jarrosus. How could these fellows, the strongest being only level-10 and the weakest being level-5, dare to point their saliva in front of the Emerald Tower?
"F * ck, do you really think that the current Guild of Magic is still the Guild of Magic of the past? You really don't know what's good for you. You idiots, wake up quickly. The current Jarrosus has nothing to do with the Guild of Magic anymore. Your nest was burned down, and even that old fellow Gerian was so scared that he hid. What right do you have to be so mean to us? Brothers, let's learn from the Shadow's Nest today, and burn this damn tower again! "
"Yes, let's see if they still dare to be arrogant after we burn their nest!"
"F * ck, I've been sick of these idiots for a long time!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Maybe that old tortoise Gerian is hiding inside. Let's catch him and hand him over to the people of the Shadow's Nest!"
Scarface's clamor immediately attracted the response of the crowd. The more than 30 subordinates behind him looked agitated as they brandished their weapons and were about to rush into the Emerald Tower. At this time, there were only a few young level-5 and level-6 mages guarding the entrance of the Emerald Tower. How could they be a match for this group of ferocious warriors? Although the few young mages had tried their best, they were quickly pushed aside. Seeing that this group of ferocious fellows were about to rush into the Emerald Tower, the few young mages were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
