Ysera swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He wanted to object, but he did not dare to make a sound. This was because he realized that the young mage sitting on the chair had an unprecedented serious expression on his face. Ysera had never seen him so serious before. Even in the duel in the Daylight Square, when Cromwell had released the earth-shattering level-18 magic, this young mage had only frowned.
Ysera suddenly realized that things were getting serious …
Mage Felic was serious. He really wanted to attack the Demon Fall Valley before tomorrow evening!
Ysera shifted his body a little hurriedly. The soft cushion of the chair didn't seem to be that comfortable anymore. This was no joke. The current Mannes Family had already been tied to the chariot of the Emerald Tower. They were bound together for glory and disgrace. If the Emerald Tower was unlucky, the Mannes Family would also suffer.
Damn it, what should I do?
Lin Li did not know what Ysera would do. Anyway, he had already decided to do so.
Of course, he had already considered the risk of attacking the Demon Fall Valley. This was indeed troublesome. The operation of the Shadow's Nest for a month was not a joke. There was a sentry every ten steps, and there were countless traps. If it was not handled properly, it would be fatal. Hence, Lin Li had already thought it through. The risk of the Emerald Tower attacking alone was too great. They had to share it.
Hence, there was the warm reception in the guild hall, and the secret conversation in the room now.
But before that, he had to get Gerian back.
"Oh yes, Ysera, how is Gerian now?"
Ysera was confident about Gerian's current situation. In fact, he had already made arrangements before coming to the Emerald Tower. Hearing Lin Li's question, Ysera smiled confidently. "President Gerian should be on his way back to the Emerald Tower now."
"Thank you both." Lin Li did not say too many words of gratitude, but the expression on his face was unusually sincere. He even stood up and bowed to the stunned Ysera and Reuben. This time, he was really grateful to the two families from the bottom of his heart. If not for their help, Gerian would most likely have fallen into the hands of the Shadow's Nest. Thinking about the old man's bad temper and the way the Shadow's Nest did things, even a fool would know that it was definitely fatal!
"Mage Felic, you're too kind …"
Just as the two were feeling flattered, there was a sudden commotion in the guild hall. Lin Li quickly opened the door and saw a chubby middle-aged man walking into the guild hall surrounded by a group of mages. It was Gerian. They hadn't seen each other for almost two months, but Gerian hadn't changed at all. He was still chubby, and he was still cursing. As soon as he entered the guild hall, he heard him shouting, "Damn it, isn't that kid Felic back? Why don't I see him? Did he elope with some girl?"
"…" Lin Li could not help but roll his eyes. Am I that kind of person?
"Felic!" Although Gerian was old, he had good eyesight. Just as Lin Li was about to go downstairs, Gerian saw him. "Why are you hiding upstairs?"
"Of course it's to discuss something. Otherwise, do you think I'm doing embroidery?"
Ysera and Reuben took this opportunity to leave. This time, Lin Li did not continue to urge them to stay. He just smiled and said, "Oh yes, Ysera, when I was in Alanna, I got a formula to permanently increase mana. Its effect is much stronger than the Arcane Magic Potion, but the herbs are a little difficult to get, so I want to think of a way in Jarrosus. Why don't you help me spread the word that I want to find a partner among the 16 forces in Jarrosus to manage this potion together. If anyone is interested, they can discuss it in detail at the Emerald Tower tonight."
"Discuss it in detail?" Ysera's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Ysera desperately told himself that it was a scam, a scam, a scam, this was definitely a scam!
Ysera was not a fool. They had just discussed in the room that they would take down the Demon Fall Valley before tomorrow evening. Now that they had turned around, this fella threw out a formula that was even more powerful than the Arcane Magic Potion. Even a fool would know that this fella definitely wanted to use this opportunity to tie the 16 forces in Jarrosus to the chariot of the Emerald Tower.
There was no doubt that this was a trap.
Moreover, it was a trap that they had no choice but to jump into. There was no other way. This bait was really too powerful. A formula that was even more powerful than the Arcane Magic Potion. What kind of concept was this? Just think about the auction that caused a sensation in Jarrosus. The last 10 bottles of Arcane Magic Potion had been hyped up to nearly a million gold coins. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a profit that was thousands of times greater. Even a fool would know that such a huge profit was definitely worth it at any price …
Including attacking the Demon Fall Valley!
For a moment, Ysera could not help but hesitate.
To agree or not to agree was a very complicated question.
But at this moment, Reuben, who was beside him, nodded. "I will be there tonight."
Then, he left the Emerald Tower expressionlessly.
Reuben's straightforwardness made Ysera slightly stunned. Then, he suddenly felt that everything was clear. That's right, he was really too clever for his own good. So what if it was a trap? Today's Mannes Family had long been tightly tied to the Emerald Tower. Even if there was no potion formula, even if he did not participate in this attack, would the Shadow's Nest let him off after winning? After all, their spokesperson in Jarrosus was the Merlin Family!
Whether it was a trap or not, it should be the concern of the leaders of other forces. For people like him and Reuben, there was no need to consider such a problem at all. What the Mannes Family had to do was to follow in the footsteps of the Emerald Tower. Whatever Mage Felic said, be it attacking the Demon Fall Valley or annihilating the Shadow's Nest. Anyway, there was only one chance to choose a side, and the Mannes Family had already used it.
It was funny that he was actually confused by such a small matter. Luckily, Reuben was straightforward!
"Leave it to me." Ysera did not hesitate anymore.
Watching the two men's carriage leave, Gerian then praised in an old-fashioned manner, "Not bad, young man. I haven't seen you for two months, and your skills have improved."
"Sorry for making a fool of myself …"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about the important matter. How was the trial result in Alanna this time? Did you embarrass me?"
"If there are no accidents, the people from the Supreme Council will come to Jarrosus after a while. You can ask them yourself then …"
"Not bad, not bad …" Gerian smiled wretchedly, and then said while gritting his teeth, "When those idiots from the Supreme Council come, I must ask them if they still dare to say that Jarrosus is a magic desert in the future …"
"Oh yes, do you have an enemy called Darian?"
"You've met that idiot?"
"I've more than met him …" Lin Li rolled his eyes, and recounted his experience in Alanna, picking out the important parts, from Darian's difficulties at the beginning to the trap at the final.
He said it was important, but this trip to Alanna, things happened one after another. How could it be explained in a few words? From the trial in the Shadowglen to the encounter in the Fire Plume Ridge, it took Lin Li an entire hour to recount all the details.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two of them gradually stopped talking. While Gerian was still immersed in shock, Lin Li suddenly asked, "By the way, when I was in Alanna, I heard from Kevin that your health condition was very bad?"
"Damn it, this little brat, I told him not to talk nonsense!" Gerian flew into a rage out of humiliation when the thing he had been hiding was suddenly exposed. "Damn it, when I see him later, I must teach him a good lesson …"
But after scolding, the old man sighed again. "But forget it. With my current physical condition, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to teach this little brat a lesson in the future."
"You don't have to be discouraged. Although the mana collapse is troublesome, it's not impossible …"
"You have a way?" Gerian's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this.
"I happen to know a potion formula that can recover mana that has collapsed, but the herbs needed are a little troublesome. A few of them are hard to come by. I've already asked Old Grimm for some of the hardest to get. As for the rest, I'll find a way to get them as soon as possible."
"What herb is so powerful?"
Lin Li pursed his lips. "You won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, pay more attention when you have nothing to do, especially one called the Heart of Corrosion. It's dark red in color, and the size of a pinky finger. If you can get it, there's hope for you to recover your mana."
"Heart of Corrosion? Why didn't you say so earlier … "Gerian stood up abruptly when he heard this." In the guild storage room, there's … "
However, halfway through his words, Gerian sat down softly like a deflated ball. "But they've all been snatched away by the Shadow's Nest …"
"It doesn't matter if they've been snatched away, we can just snatch them back …"
"Pfft, snatch them just like that. How can it be so easy …" Gerian's voice sounded a little irritated. "Damn it, I've really kicked an iron plate this time. I really don't understand, where did those bastards from the Shadow's Nest get such good equipment from?"
"I do know …"
"You know?"
"Yes." Lin Li nodded. "If I'm not wrong, the one supporting the Shadow's Nest from behind this time is the famous kingdom's arms merchant, the Marathon Family."
"Marathon Family? You mean that old bastard Wilhelm? Indeed, it's that shameless profiteer. For a groundless treasure map, he actually came to me. Damn it, I hope his son doesn't have an asshole … "
"This …" Lin Li scratched his head and smiled guiltily. "It doesn't matter if his son has an asshole or not …"
"Why?"
"Because I accidentally killed his son during the finals."
"F * ck!" Gerian was dumbfounded.
