This time, Aaron-Mazi really wanted to die. Even if the bandits of the Blood Brotherhood were second to none among the major forces in Jarrosus, they would not be able to withstand such a torment. The Demon Fall Valley today was not the Demon Fall Valley of the past. Ever since it was attacked, it had been managed by the Shadow's Nest as a foundation. There were sentries every few steps, and there were all kinds of arrays and traps. The Demon Fall Valley was like an iron bucket. According to Aaron-Mazi's estimation, at least 80% of the Shadow's Nest's forces were stationed there …
This young mage said it so easily. The moment he opened his mouth, he wanted the map of the Demon Fall Valley. Aaron-Mazi really wanted to tell him, Master Felic, that is something that we have to exchange with the lives of our brothers …
Of course, he only dared to mutter these words in his heart. He did not have the guts to say it out loud.
On the contrary, he could not help but smile. "It is the honor of the Blood Brotherhood to be able to serve Mage Felic …"
There was no other way. Who asked that idiot Rosie to do such a stupid thing? F * ck, do you think you can block the gate of the Emerald Tower? Of all the times to block it, why did you have to choose such a cursed day to coincide with Mage Felic's return to Jarrosus. Wasn't this f * cking pushing the entire Blood Brotherhood into the fire pit?
"F * ck, I will settle the score with you slowly when we get back …" Thinking of this, Aaron-Mazi wanted to kill someone. He glared at Scarface, who was beside him. He had already made up his mind to teach this idiot a lesson when he got back.
"Thank you, Mr Mazi." Only then did Lin Li reveal a satisfied smile.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Mage Felic is too kind …"
Just as the two of them were hypocritically exchanging pleasantries, the sound of hooves came from outside the door. Lin Li was a little confused. He turned around and looked outside the Emerald Tower's gate. He saw more than 10 luxurious carriages parked outside the gate. The people walking out of the carriages were all familiar faces. Ysera from the Mannes Family, Reuben from the Saruman Family, Anthony from the Rolin Family, Daphne from the Thief Leader, Old Odin from the Black Market, and so on … At a glance, other than the Merlin Family, all the leaders of the forces in Jarrosus had come. All of them had brought gifts, and were smiling as they asked the guard apprentice to report.
"…" The two young apprentices guarding outside the gate were scared out of their wits. Both of them had just joined the Emerald Tower in the past month, and it was the most difficult period for the Emerald Tower. Although they had heard from some senior mages how powerful and glorious the Emerald Tower was in the past, after being used to the cold shoulder, the two of them did not think much of it. They even secretly speculated that the so-called power and glory were just the imagination of those senior mages.
Only at this time, when more than 10 carriages were parked outside the Emerald Tower, did the two young apprentices finally believe that what the senior mages said was true. The Emerald Tower in the past had indeed unified the whole of Jarrosus.
Looking at the names reported by this group of people, all of them were well-known. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mannes Family, Saruman Family, Rolin Family — all of them were people who could make Jarrosus tremble with just a stomp of their feet. When they stood in front of them and respectfully asked them to report, the two young apprentices instantly felt as if they were floating.
"Mage Felic, do you want to meet them?" The two young apprentices stood there respectfully, and looked at Lin Li with eyes full of fanaticism and worship. It was a kind of respect that came from the bottom of their hearts, without any pretense or concealment. To them, this young mage who was about the same age as them, but had brought the Emerald Tower to glory single-handedly was a living legend.
"Of course."
Lin Li personally invited everyone into the guild hall. The Emerald Tower that seemed to be in a dilapidated state suddenly had so many guests. Naturally, it was another round of greetings. After a full half an hour, the group of people took their seats according to the host and the guest. Sincere and warm greetings and polite conversations made the atmosphere extremely harmonious.
However, amidst this harmonious atmosphere, a few leaders with good eyesight were frowning from beginning to end …
For example, Ysera …
Early on when he walked into the guild hall, Ysera vaguely felt that something was wrong. All along, he had been the leader with the sharpest eyesight among the dozens of forces in Jarrosus. This richest man in Jarrosus in his twenties seemed to have a natural instinct to be able to see many things that others could not when he first saw someone. It was probably because of this that he was the first to express goodwill to the Guild of Magic, and the first to form an alliance with the Guild of Magic.
But today, Ysera suddenly realized that his sharp eyesight seemed to have gone blind.
"What the hell …" Ysera greeted with a face full of smiles, but at the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart. He suddenly realized that the young mage, who was already so strong that he was out of control, had gone through a terrifying change after two months. If the Felic in the past was said to be irresistible, then the Felic now had undoubtedly reached another realm — a completely different realm. It was as if everyone was in a completely different time. Although they could see and hear, they could not touch each other at all.
F * ck, he's at least an Archmage …
Ysera subconsciously swallowed his saliva. An Archmage who was not even 20 years old — just the thought of it made Ysera's scalp tingle. When he looked at Lin Li again, his eyes were filled with fear.
Ysera's expression was complicated, but Lin Li was talking and laughing. In fact, even he himself did not realize that ever since he returned to Jarrosus, he had gradually gotten used to the role that Gerian had once played. He was used to leading the Emerald Tower, and was used to scheming against the leaders of various forces.
Everyone sat in the somewhat dilapidated guild hall, and talked about the changes in Jarrosus in the past two months. During this period, there were naturally a few leaders who were eager to show their loyalty, and angrily condemned the Merlin Family for colluding with foreign enemies, and condemned the bandits of the Shadow's Nest. Once these leaders spoke, the rest naturally followed suit. For a moment, the guild hall was filled with a subtle atmosphere of being united against a common enemy.
Lin Li maintained a faint smile on his face, looking as if he really did not know that these righteous and indignant leaders had also stood by and watched when the Shadow's Nest attacked.
The leaders of more than a dozen forces stayed in the guild hall until sunset before leaving reluctantly.
To be honest, if it was possible, they really wanted to stay for a few more hours. This young mage's attitude was too strange. He did not mention the past, nor did he make a clear statement on their relationship in the future. This made the leaders of more than a dozen forces feel uneasy.
They had some understanding of this young mage's character. He was ruthless and frightening. He might be smiling today, but he might take action tomorrow. No one knew if he would turn his back on them, and no one knew if they could survive in Jarrosus. The only thing they could do was to desperately repent for not providing support when the Emerald Tower was in trouble. If they could have foreseen the outcome today, wouldn't they also be treated like Ysera and Reuben?
After waiting for the leaders of more than a dozen forces to leave reluctantly, Lin Li secretly gave Ysera and Reuben a look, indicating for them to stay for a while.
Ysera's heart was instantly filled with joy. Haha, my two months of hard work did not go to waste. Mage Felic has finally acknowledged my status as a comrade!
"Both of you, please take a seat." The reception this time was of a much higher standard than before. Lin Li personally brought the two of them to the second floor, and sat down in the room he used to stay in. It seemed casual, but there was an indescribable sense of intimacy.
"Good, good, good …" The two patriarchs looked at each other, and saw joy in each other's eyes.
"Both of you, I won't say too many words of gratitude. I, Felic, am not an ungrateful person. In the past two months, I dare not forget everything that both of you have done for the Emerald Tower. I will remember it all in my heart …"
"Felic, you're too courteous …"
"No, no, no, this is not courteous …" Lin Li shook his head, and his expression gradually became serious. "Alright, both of you, our friendship has been tested by the flames of war. As long as I, Felic, am here, the Emerald Tower will be your closest comrade. There is no need to hide anything between comrades-in-arms. I have a plan now. Both of you, please listen to it and see if you can provide me with some suggestions."
"What plan?" When the two heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears. They had known this young mage for a few months, but from the Emerald Tower's auction to the duel in the Daylight Square, they had never seen him as serious as he was today.
"If it's possible, I hope to let the Emerald Tower's Warlock's Eyes cover the entire Demon Fall Valley again before tomorrow evening!"
"…" Ysera almost took in a breath of cold air.
This young patriarch, who had been in charge of the Mannes Family since he was in his twenties and opened the Gilded Rose all over the Felan Kingdom, thought that he had heard wrongly when he heard this. The first thought that popped up in his mind was: how is this possible? Taking back the Demon Fall Valley before tomorrow evening? This was even more unbelievable than asking Gerian to lose weight. Ysera had seen the power of the Shadow's Nest with his own eyes. Well-trained warriors and excellent equipment were definitely the nemesis of any force that excelled in magic. How powerful was the Guild of Magic back then, but the Shadow's Nest only needed one attack to seize control of the Demon Fall Valley. Now that they had managed the entire Demon Fall Valley like an iron bucket, how could they let others take it back so easily?
