The sky gradually darkened. Outside the Emerald Tower came the sounds of horses galloping. More than ten luxurious carriages were parked there. When they came out of the carriages, everyone had doubts in their hearts. What was Mage Felic up to? Finding a partner was not something shameful. Why didn't he say it earlier? Why did he have to wait until they went back before asking Ysera to call them over?
"Welcome, welcome …" Lin Li welcomed them into the Emerald Tower with a face full of smiles. As for the doubts in their words, he pretended not to hear them. There was no helping it. There were always some things in this world that could not be said openly. Just like now, Lin Li could not possibly tell them that the reason why he was tormenting them back and forth was actually for no other reason than to whet their appetites …
But then again, a little doubt would not affect their mood at all. In fact, they did not take it to heart at all. Compared to the huge benefits, what was a little doubt? When they walked into the Emerald Tower, they looked at Lin Li as if they were looking at a moving mountain of gold.
This was a profitable business with a small capital!
Everyone present had personally experienced the auction. How could they not know how magical this young mage's potion was? It was the real deal of turning stone into gold. No matter how common the herbs were, once they were in his hands, they would immediately become priceless potions. To be able to become Mage Felic's partner was a rare opportunity. Everyone believed that even if it was only 10% of the profit, it would definitely be a horrifying astronomical figure.
Thinking of this, everyone's gazes towards Lin Li immediately became fervent.
To the leaders of these forces, the significance of money was extraordinary. Only with money could there be people, equipment, and power. Especially in a chaotic place like Jarrosus, only with enough money could one stand out among the many forces.
Why was the Emerald Tower able to unify Jarrosus City? Other than the magical young mage and Gerian's illustrious reputation, the three rare mineral veins in the Demon Fall Valley could not go unnoticed. Without the huge source of income provided by the three rare mineral veins, no matter how magical this young mage was, no matter how illustrious Gerian was, it would be of no use. As the saying went, even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice. Without money, who would be willing to join the Emerald Tower?
"Good evening, everyone. The reason why I've invited all of you here is that I've suddenly thought of a small matter that I'd like to discuss with you …" After inviting the leaders into the guild hall and getting the apprentices to serve the drinks, Lin Li began to narrate his story. "It's getting late, so I'll keep it short. To put it simply, I went to Alanna some time ago, and did not gain much except that I was lucky. I found a good potion formula in a High Elves' ruins. I heard from someone who knows his stuff that this potion formula was passed down by Highlord Osric …"
In order to increase the attractiveness of the formula, Lin Li deliberately told a small lie and used the golden name of Osric. But to be honest, this was a little redundant …
Although Osric was famous, he was, after all, a figure from 1300 years ago. Everything about him only existed in legends. Although the potion formulas that were passed down from his hands were full of legendary splendor, that was all. No one had seen it with their own eyes. In comparison, it was far less convincing than Lin Li himself. After all, at that auction, ten bottles of Arcane Magic Potion were sold for 800,000 gold coins. This was something that everyone had seen with their own eyes …
But it did not matter. No matter whose hands the formula came from, the potion would be concocted by Mage Felic himself. Just this point alone was enough for the leaders to fight for it at all costs. The only thing they needed to be concerned about now was the specific effect of this formula. Thus, when the young mage's voice fell, the leaders all pricked up their ears at the same time, waiting for him to continue with a face full of anticipation …
"What is recorded in the formula is the Arcana Potion. The theory involved is more complicated, so I will not go into it here. Anyway, to put it simply, this is actually another strengthened Arcane Magic Potion …" Seeing that they were almost hooked, Lin Li smiled and said, "As everyone knows, the Arcana Magic Potion can only increase the mana of a mage apprentice. Normally, when a level-four apprentice uses it, there is at least a 70% chance that he will break through to level-five and become a real mage. But for mages above level-five, there is no effect at all. But this time, the Arcana Potion is different. It is specifically targeted at mages below level-ten …"
"Oh my God …" Ysera had already covered his mouth as soon as Lin Li's voice fell. He could not believe what he had heard. If all this was true, didn't that mean that Mage Felic already had the ability to train Magic Shooters in batches?
The difference of one level between level-nine and level-ten was like the difference between heaven and earth. Out of 100 mage apprentices, it was very likely that 80 could become mages, but out of 100 mages, only 10 could become Magic Shooters. It was really a difference of one step to the heavens and one step to the earth. Just this small difference determined the value of these two potions with similar effects. If the price of the Arcana Magic Potion was a copper coin, then the price of the Arcana Potion would be a gold coin, or even a diamond!
This time, even Gerian could not help but be stunned. The silence in the guild hall was frighteningly quiet. Only the sound of violent heartbeats and heavy breathing could be heard. Everyone was secretly calculating what kind of price they would have to pay to obtain the dealership of the Arcana Potion.
"Looks like everyone is a little interested in the Arcana Potion …" Lin Li was satisfied with everyone's reaction.
"Yes, yes, yes …" The leaders of more than 10 forces fought to be the first to nod their heads. Each and every one of them wished they could hug this young mage's thigh and shout. It was not just a little interested, they were simply too interested!
"That's very good. This business should be possible …" Lin Li smiled with satisfaction, but then he frowned. "But, there's still a little trouble …"
"Ah?" The expressions on everyone's faces froze at once. One by one, they stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss something.
"The Arcana Potion requires a large amount of Warlock Grass, and it must be freshly picked. Once it's out of the ground for an hour, the effect of the Warlock Grass will change, and it can no longer be used in the Arcana Potion. Can everyone think about where in Jarrosus can we pick Warlock Grass and transport it within an hour?"
When Lin Li finished speaking with a troubled expression, Gerian almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. This kid was indeed up to no good. After talking for so long, his ultimate goal was still to make the other forces be cannon fodder …
Of course, with Gerian's wretchedness, he naturally would not expose him.
Everyone sat there and pondered for a long time before Ysera broke the silence. "If I remember correctly, the Demon Fall Valley should be a place that produces Warlock Grass …"
"Demon Fall Valley? No, no, that place is definitely out of the question. It's too dangerous. We're only doing business for money. There's no need for us to go against those fugitives from the Shadow's Nest … "Lin Li said hypocritically, and shamelessly added," Why don't we do it this way? Let's wait three to five to seven years, and wait for the Emerald Tower to recapture the Demon Fall Valley before we talk about the collaboration? "
"…" Ysera almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had always thought that he was shameless enough, but he did not expect that he was nothing in front of this young mage. He clearly wanted to drag the 16 forces of Jarrosus down, but he still pretended to say things like "no, no, it's too dangerous". F * ck, how could he say such shameless words? Wait for three to seven years? Why didn't he say that he would wait for the people from the Shadow's Nest to retreat on their own?
Ysera was not the only one who was cursing in secret. At this moment, at least eight of the 16 leaders were cursing in their hearts. To them, this was simply a trap, and it was the kind that they had no choice but to jump into. The great benefits were right in front of them, but they could not fall in love with it …
The temptation of the Arcana Potion was too fatal. None of the people present could resist it, including Ysera. Almost everyone had made a decision the moment they finished speaking — go!
Furthermore, they were fighting to be the first to go!
"How can this be!" The first to stand up was Aaron-Mazi. "The whole of Jarrosus knows that the Demon Fall Valley belongs to the Emerald Tower. What right do those bandits from the Shadow's Nest have to occupy the Demon Fall Valley? Mage Felic, don't worry. As long as the Emerald Tower decides to recapture the Demon Fall Valley, we, the Blood Brotherhood, will do our best to help. For the dignity of Jarrosus, for the long-established friendship between our two families, we, the Blood Brotherhood, will do our best! "
"Well said!" The patriarch of the Rolin Family also stood up. His face was filled with righteous indignation. "Mage Felic, as long as you say the word, we, the Rolin Family, can also send out hundreds of mages. If you attack the Demon Fall Valley, don't forget about us, the Rolin Family!"
"Thank you for your kind intentions." Lin Li smiled, and did not say much. He was very clear in his heart that what this fella actually wanted to say was — when the Arcana Potion is concocted, don't forget about us, the Rolin Family!
"Yes, yes, yes. Mage Felic, don't forget about me, Old Odin!"
"Yes, yes, there's still us …"
"Mage Felic, actually, I can do it too!"
Aaron-Mazi started it, and the response in the guild hall immediately rose and fell. In an instant, the quiet guild hall suddenly became lively again.
Ysera looked at the leaders who were fighting to be the first, and then looked at the young mage who was full of smiles. In the end, he could not resist the temptation of the Arcana Potion, and also stood up impatiently. "Don't forget about us, the Mannes Family!"
