Aaron-Mazi's face was filled with anxiety. He paced back and forth in the house, just like an ant on a hot pan. He had been in charge of the Blood Brotherhood for more than ten years, and he had never been as frustrated as he was today. He had been fighting peacefully for more than ten years, but it was ruined by the blind idiot, Rosie. F * ck, what was this idiot thinking? He was actually so stupid to go to the Emerald Tower to create trouble just for some money. Did he really think that the Emerald Tower would completely collapse after Gerian's disappearance?
This time, it was really big trouble. Unless Gerian did not return, he would definitely deal with the Blood Brotherhood. At that time, he would really have no place to cry. The more Aaron-Mazi thought about it, the angrier he got. He stared at Scarface for a long time and cursed in his heart. F * ck, could this idiot be a spy sent by some force?
No, I have to think of a way …
Aaron-Mazi thought about it, and finally clenched his teeth. He called a few of his confidants over.
"Prepare the gifts and follow me to the Emerald Tower."
"Yes!"
"And you …" Aaron-Mazi pointed at Scarface, who was trembling in fear. "Bring your group of subordinates and follow me to the Emerald Tower to be dealt with. Whether you live or die will depend on your luck. You idiot, you better pray that Mage Felic has not returned, or else …"
"Mage Felic?" When Scarface heard this name, his heart instantly tightened. He plucked up his courage and asked with a trembling voice, "Boss, the … the Mage Felic you are talking about, is he a young man in his twenties, with black hair and black eyes …"
"Yes." Aaron-Mazi was still weighing what gifts he should bring. When he heard Scarface's question, he only nodded his head absentmindedly. However, after nodding his head, Aaron-Mazi's eyes suddenly widened. He grabbed Scarface's collar almost instantly. "You've seen him before?"
Scarface swallowed his saliva with difficulty. "Y … Yes."
"F * ck …" Aaron-Mazi instantly sucked in a breath of cold air and stood there in a daze. He couldn't say a word for a long time, and it was as if he had turned into a fool. There was only one thought left in his mind. He's back. That monster is back …
"..." Scarface was bewildered in his heart, but he could only lower his head and not dare to say a single word. He was very clear in his heart that he'd surely gotten himself into big trouble this time, a big trouble that could possibly cause him to lose his life …
This kind of terrifying silence lasted for a full ten minutes before it was broken by Aaron-Mazi's voice. His eyes stared straight at Scarface as he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me the situation at that time. If I find out that you've left out a single word, just wait to be put into a gunny sack …"
"Yes …" Scarface swallowed his saliva with difficulty again, and a layer of cold sweat covered his entire forehead. Even if he was just an outer member of the Blood Brotherhood, he also knew what "being put into a gunny sack" meant. This was the heaviest punishment of the Blood Brotherhood, and it had always been used to deal with traitors. Putting a living person into a gunny sack and beating them into minced meat …
Scarface knew that it was real minced meat. When he'd just become an outer member of the Blood Brotherhood, he had personally seen a traitor being put into a gunny sack and smashed by countless wooden sticks for an entire day. When the gunny sack was opened, only a pile of minced meat could be seen. There was no way to differentiate what was an arm and what was a leg …
Scarface wiped the cold sweat on his forehead while recounting what happened in front of the Emerald Tower to Aaron-Mazi. He did not leave out a single word. He even learned the incantation to summon the Blood-vine Spell while groaning. Although it sounded more like a chicken's crow than an incantation, at least he did not end up in a gunny sack …
"F * ck, I should really get someone to cut another scar on your face …" Aaron-Mazi had just finished listening when he gave Scarface another slap. When he pointed at Scarface's nose and scolded, one of his hands was already trembling from anger. "Mage Felic asked me to go to the Emerald Tower, and you actually left such an important matter until the last. F * ck, are you a human or a pig?"
After hurriedly throwing down this sentence, Aaron-Mazi did not even bother to bring along those confidants who went to prepare the gifts. He only told them to inform the leaders of the other friendly forces that Mage Felic had returned, and then brought Scarface out of the base of the Blood Brotherhood. The two of them hurriedly found a carriage and went straight to the Emerald Tower.
When sitting in the carriage, Aaron-Mazi was really sweating profusely. Luckily, that idiot Rosie was too stupid. Although he blocked the Emerald Tower, he did not really cause any trouble. Although Mage Felic had always been ruthless, he was not an unreasonable person. As long as he explained properly, there should still be a chance …
Scarface, who was at the side, was trembling with fear. He had joined the Blood Brotherhood for three years, and he had always been an outer member. Usually, he fought and killed in Jarrosus City, all for the sake of being recognized one day and truly entering the core of the Blood Brotherhood. As for the highest leader of the entire Blood Brotherhood, Aaron-Mazi, to Scarface, he was simply a figure that only existed in legends. Even in his dreams, Scarface had never thought that he would actually be able to see Aaron-Mazi with his own eyes one day. Even more so, he had never thought that there would be a young mage called Felic who used just one sentence to make Aaron-Mazi so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He did not even bother to put on his coat and hurriedly rushed to the Emerald Tower …
Scarface knew that when he mentioned the name "Felic", the horrified expression on Aaron-Mazi's face was definitely real. What kind of person would be able to scare Aaron-Mazi to this extent? Scarface could not imagine it …
…
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Emerald Tower, the news released by the Blood Brotherhood had already spread throughout Jarrosus City.
The 11 great mage families and the six underground forces, from top to bottom, seemed to have experienced an earthquake. All the leaders who heard this news had their pupils dilated instantly. That monster had really returned?
The duel in the Aurora Square had completely destroyed their confidence. In front of that monster-like young mage, they did not even have the courage to resist. In the land of Jarrosus, the name Felic itself seemed to have some kind of magic. Even people like Ysera and Reuben were stunned for a long time when they heard this name.
Then …
Jarrosus City suddenly became lively. Regardless of whether it was the 11 mage families or the six underground forces, they all moved at the same time. When most of the leaders of the forces heard this news, they immediately prepared their carriages like Aaron-Mazi and went straight to the Emerald Tower. The few streets that were usually deserted became extremely lively in an instant. A few familiar leaders of the forces exchanged their opinions as they hurried on their way. Although everyone's opinions were different on the details, there was one thing that was certain — there would be another storm in Jarrosus City …
"What?" When he heard this news, Ysera was in his family's workshop, holding a ring that had just been enchanted in his hand. But when he heard the news, the ring on his hand fell to the ground with a "ding". "Mage Felic is back?"
Ysera was stunned for a full minute, and then he laughed for no reason …
"Hahahaha, that's great, Mage Felic is finally back!" Ysera quickly called a few of his subordinates and gave out orders. "Go to the Saruman Family immediately and tell this news to Reuben. And you, take my warrant and get a batch of family mages above level-10, at least 50 of them. Let them be on standby, there might be a battle at any time. In addition, the two of you, go to the family's storage and pick a few of the best magical equipment. Then, follow me to the Emerald Tower."
"Yes!"
After the few capable subordinates received the orders, they quickly went to do their own things. Only Ysera, who was laughing for no reason, was left in the family workshop. The news that he had waited for a month had finally arrived. Ysera could not help but laugh even if he wanted to. This time, the Mannes Family had made the right bet again. When Shadow's Nest attacked and occupied the Demon Fall Valley, the Mannes Family did not hesitate to stand on the side of the Guild of Magic. When Shadow's Nest burned down the Emerald Tower, the Mannes Family did not hesitate to stand on the side of the Guild of Magic. Just these two things alone were enough for the Mannes Family to not worry about their status in Jarrosus City for the next 100 years.
This was the change from an ally to a comrade. It was just a difference of a word, but it was a completely different relationship.
Allies united because of benefits, but comrades-in-arms could entrust life and death to each other.
…
"Felic, you're finally back …" In the guild hall, a few elderly Magic Shooters were surrounding Lin Li, talking at once about everything that had happened in the Guild of Magic during this period of time.
What they said was a little messy, but compared to Kevin, it was much more detailed. From their mouths, Lin Li heard more details. For example, after Shadow's Nest captured the Emerald Tower, they even camped there for a night. That night, they almost turned the entire Emerald Tower upside down. It was not until daybreak that they set the Emerald Tower on fire, and then they brought their men back to the Demon Fall Valley. For example, when the people of Shadow's Nest left, they did not seem satisfied, probably because they did not find what they were looking for …
Lin Li listened very seriously, and even asked a few questions in between. This conversation lasted for about half an hour. Everything that had happened in the Guild of Magic in the past two months had gradually formed a general outline in Lin Li's mind.
At the same time, some of the young apprentices who had just joined the Guild of Magic in the past two months were inquiring about it curiously. Their hearts were filled with curiosity and doubt. Almost everyone was asking what was the background of this young mage called Felic, and why did he attract everyone's cheers the moment he returned to the Emerald Tower? Could it be that his status was actually more important than the missing President Gerian?
"He is the pride of our Emerald Tower, Mage Felic." Those who were asked would always answer with a face full of pride. Then, they would patiently tell the new apprentices about the auction of the potions with sky-high prices, and the duel that shocked Jarrosus. At the end, they would always add a heavy sentence, "Without Mage Felic, there would be no Emerald Tower today!"
When a few of the older Magic Shooters were almost done talking, Aaron-Mazi's carriage had also arrived at the entrance of the Emerald Tower.
Aaron-Mazi, with his scarred face, walked in with his head lowered. When he thought of this, Aaron-Mazi could not help but want to give Scarred Face another slap. It was all that damned idiot's fault. If not for his stupid actions, he would have been able to enjoy the treatment of a guest when he arrived at the Emerald Tower. How would he be like this now, not even daring to lift his head, as if he was a thief …
But luckily, Mage Felic had left a message and asked to see him. Along the way, he did not encounter any difficulties. But even so, the gazes of those Magic Shooters staring at him was enough to make him feel uncomfortable. When he thought of this, Aaron-Mazi could not help but curse in his heart. F * ck, it's all that damned idiot Rosie's fault. When I get back, I'll definitely get someone to put him into a sack …
"Morning, Mr Mazi." Lin Li saw the two of them walking into the Emerald Tower from afar. After greeting them, he found a few chairs in a corner of the guild hall and invited Aaron-Mazi and Scarred Face to sit down. Honestly speaking, this was actually a little impolite. After all, Aaron-Mazi was the leader of the Blood Brotherhood. In terms of status and identity, he was comparable to Gerian. When he came to visit, he should at least be invited to the guest room.
But unfortunately, the Shadow's Nest had set the Emerald Tower on fire. Although the rescue was in time and there were not many losses, the guest room could no longer be used. They could only be wronged and sit in the guild hall.
"Morning, Mage Felic. When did you return to Jarrosus? Why didn't you tell me? If I knew that you would return today, I would have personally fetched you …" Aaron-Mazi was still on tenterhooks. He did not even know what he was saying, so how could he care about being impolite? At this time, not to mention sitting in the guild hall, even if he was asked to sit in the toilet, he would probably sit in it without hesitation.
"Hehe, I returned in the afternoon." Lin Li smiled, and did not point out the faulty wording in Aaron-Mazi's words. He only said as if he was talking to himself, "I haven't returned for two months, and the changes in Jarrosus are really huge …"
"That's right, that's right. The change is really huge …" Aaron-Mazi's heart was perturbed. He did not know if there was any hidden meaning in the other party's words, so he could only go along with what the other party said.
"But I really did not expect the changes to be so huge. I remember that in the past, there was no one in Jarrosus who dared to block the entrance of the Emerald Tower …" Lin Li had a faint smile on his face, but his gaze when he looked at Aaron-Mazi suddenly became sharp.
"Mage Felic …" Aaron-Mazi's heart instantly tightened. When he looked at Lin Li again, even his voice was trembling. "Mage Felic, please … please listen to my explanation …"
"Hehe, there's nothing to explain. If I didn't guess wrongly, you will definitely tell me that all of this has nothing to do with you. It's all this Brother Scarred Face's idea. How is it, Mr Mazi, am I right?"
"This …"
"Alright, Mr Mazi, let's just forget about this matter. You don't have to explain, and I won't look into it. Just treat it as if it never happened. After all, the Blood Brotherhood is our ally. Our Guild of Magic still has this bit of magnanimity."
"Ah?" Aaron-Mazi was stunned. Before coming to the Emerald Tower, he had thought about many things. There were all kinds of outcomes, good and bad. But even if it was the best outcome, he would most likely be blackmailed. After all, the Guild of Magic had many things to do now, and they needed a large amount of money to rebuild the Emerald Tower. Aaron-Mazi had already made his preparations. As long as the conditions were not too ridiculous, he was prepared to agree to them.
As a result, when he heard Lin Li say "I won't look into it", Aaron-Mazi did not react in time. Only when he finished speaking did Aaron-Mazi become stunned.
This, this, this … How could this be possible?
Aaron-Mazi was very clear about the personality of this young mage. Back then, Cromwell had been killed by an Icicle just because he had captured two of his friends. What kind of luck did Aaron-Mazi have? His subordinates blocked the entrance of the Emerald Tower and threatened to get the Guild of Magic to hand over Gerian. Yet, he could treat it as if it never happened. Could it be that this young mage had received some stimulation in Alanna for two months, and his personality suddenly changed?
"Don't be so nervous, Mr Mazi. As one of the 18 forces in Jarrosus, the Emerald Tower is responsible for maintaining the harmony and order of Jarrosus. It's just a small matter, so there's no need to take it to heart. But now, I have something more important to discuss with you."
"Mage Felic, feel free to speak your mind. As long as it's something that the Blood Brotherhood can do, I, Aaron-Mazi, will definitely not reject it!" Since such a huge matter was no longer looked into, how would Aaron-Mazi dare to make excuses? Before Lin Li could say anything, he had already patted his chest and guaranteed. "It's like this, Mr Mazi.
I heard that near Jarrosus, there's a place called the Demon Fall Valley. It has verdant hills, clear waters, and beautiful scenery, just like a paradise on earth. I've always wanted to go and admire it … "Speaking up to this point, Lin Li paused for a moment before continuing." But unfortunately, I heard that the people from Shadow's Nest have occupied the Demon Fall Valley recently, and even set up various despicable traps. I've always been a timid person, and I'm afraid that accidents will happen when I admire it. Thus, I'd like to ask for Mr Mazi's help to get me a map of the Demon Fall Valley. It's best if you can find out all those despicable traps, so as to prevent any accidents from happening when I'm admiring it … "
"…" Aaron-Mazi was dumbfounded. He had seen many shameless people, but it was his first time seeing someone as shameless as this. F * ck, Alanna had indeed changed this young mage's personality, but it had changed him to be even more shameless …
