Under the temptation of the Arcana Potion, the crowd did not even put up a decent resistance, and directly announced their surrender. It only took less than half an hour, but the effect was so high that Lin Li did not even use the speech that he had prepared beforehand …
After the 17 forces had reached a consensus, what was left were the details, such as when to launch the attack, how to divide the work when the battle broke out, how to distribute the spoils of war, and how to decide who would get the Arcana Potion. In short, this was a negotiation full of the stench of money.
Lin Li had never been good at negotiations, so he was very sensible, and gave the right to speak to Gerian, and hid in the pharmaceutical lab early.
The reason why he hid in the pharmaceutical lab was not that Lin Li wanted to make some Arcana Potion for fun. It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not. To put it bluntly, this thing was just a bait. He was too dependent on the Warlock Grass, and he had to ensure the freshness of the Warlock Grass. Before he brought it back to the Demon Fall Valley, even if Lin Li had a pharmaceutics guru level, he could only watch …
What he wanted to make now were some low-level potions, just like what he did when he left Jarrosus.
In fact, most of the time, potions were similar to magic — the lower the level, the more commonly used.
Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and took out the herbs that he had prepared. He set up the crucible and lit the flame, and then it was boring and tedious work …
He busied himself until the sky brightened. Only then did Lin Li walk out of the pharmaceutical lab while rubbing his sore arms.
"You didn't sleep for the whole night again?" Gerian asked with concern as soon as he saw Lin Li go out. He had been waiting at the door since early in the morning.
"Yes …" Lin Li yawned, and his voice revealed his tiredness. He pointed to the glass bottles on the potion table. "I prepared these potions overnight. Distribute them later. I'm really tired, and I need to find a place to lie down. Call me when it's time to leave."
"Get lost!"
Lin Li was awakened by a knock on the door.
He saw Gerian's fat face as soon as he opened the door.
"How's the situation?"
"We're just waiting for you."
Lin Li knew that time was of the essence, so he did not pack much. He picked up the Aether Staff from the bedside, put on the Rune Robe, and hurried out of the Emerald Tower with Gerian.
This time, the Emerald Tower really turned out in full force. Apart from the apprentices, all mages above level-five were in battle mode. Walking out of the gate of the Emerald Tower, Lin Li could clearly see about 200 mages in robes boarding carriages one after another, and heading towards the direction of the Demon Fall Valley under a cloud of dust.
Almost at the same time, there was a sudden rumble of horses' hooves in Jarrosus City. Countless carriages passed through the streets. Everyone who saw it with their own eyes could not help but open their mouths wide. They could not believe what they were seeing. The emblems on the carriages represented the 16 largest forces in Jarrosus, from the top 10 mage families to the six underground forces. These behemoths, which were usually bound to shed blood when they bumped into each other, were actually moving in unison today …
The rumor spread like wildfire throughout Jarrosus City.
Before the carriages could pass through the city gates, the people in Jarrosus City were already in a heated discussion. Everyone was guessing why these 16 forces had gotten together, and what kind of power could suppress the conflicts that had accumulated for hundreds of years among them?
Could it be the Emerald Tower?
This sudden speculation caused many people to break out in cold sweat.
Especially that one from the Merlin Family.
Evan Merlin's face was full of anxiety. After pacing around the living room for more than ten rounds, he finally gritted his teeth and called over a confidant. He whispered a few instructions in his ear …
At this moment, the carriages had already left Jarrosus and raised a cloud of dust on the flat road.
The Mannes Family's carriage was always the most luxurious and spacious. Even when Aaron-Mazi suddenly squeezed in, it did not seem crowded at all. The reason why Aaron-Mazi did not sit in his own carriage and insisted on squeezing with Ysera was actually because he had his own difficulties. There was no other way. Who asked him to have a subordinate that could not be any more stupid. Of all places to block, he just had to block the Emerald Tower. Furthermore, it was in front of Mage Felic …
Thinking of this, Aaron-Mazi could not help but break out in cold sweat.
Even though Mage Felic had already said that he would not pursue this matter, Aaron-Mazi was still worried. After all, Aaron-Mazi had seen Mage Felic's methods with his own eyes. If he really had a prejudice against the Blood Brotherhood, his future days in Jarrosus would not be easy.
After thinking about it, Aaron-Mazi still decided to talk to Ysera. There was no other way. In the entire Jarrosus, perhaps only Ysera could say a few words in front of Mage Felic …
"I will try my best to help you explain, but whether Mage Felic is willing to understand, I do not dare to interfere …"
"Thank you, thank you …"
Ysera hesitated for a moment. "Actually, rather than asking me to help you explain, why don't you just do your own thing? Mage Felic's eyes are sharper than you and I think. If you do his task well, it will be more useful than me helping you to explain a hundred times …"
"That's right …" After hearing this, Aaron-Mazi instantly understood. That's right, why did I not think of it from the start? Mage Felic had actually given me a chance. As long as I can find out the truth about the Demon Fall Valley, wouldn't it be more useful than any explanation?
That's right, that's right, let's do it this way …
When Aaron-Mazi thought of this, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He hurriedly asked Ysera to stop the carriage and called over a few of his confidants who had been following behind.
"Pass down my orders. All the bandits of the Blood Brotherhood, think of a way to sneak into the Demon Fall Valley. You must find out the truth about the situation inside in the shortest time possible. Remember, even if it's a pile of magical beast feces, you must study it until it's fresh!"
"Yes!"
After watching his confidants leave, Aaron-Mazi then boarded the Mannes Family's carriage.
"Patriarch Ysera, no matter what, I have to thank you this time."
"Hehe …" Ysera only smiled and did not say much. To him, this was just a favor that didn't cost much. If it was in the past, Ysera would definitely not tell Aaron-Mazi what to do. The reason was very simple. It was because everyone was in Jarrosus City, and they all coveted the throne of the number one force in Jarrosus. But now, it no longer mattered. The existence of the Emerald Tower had already cut off the hopes of the other forces. What they had to worry about was no longer how to stand out among the other forces, but how to maintain a good relationship with the Emerald Tower. This was the first condition for a force to survive in Jarrosus.
"Oh yes, Patriarch Ysera …" Aaron-Mazi hesitated for a while, and asked Ysera with some doubts, "Do you know why Mage Felic would choose such a time to attack the Demon Fall Valley?"
"Is there a problem with this time?"
"This …" Aaron-Mazi carefully chose his words. "You see, it's broad daylight now. With so many of us heading to the Demon Fall Valley, wouldn't it give the Shadow's Nest time to prepare?"
"It's not important whether there's time to prepare or not …"
"Ah?"
…
Aaron-Mazi would never have thought that at this time, in the Emerald Tower's carriage, Gerian was also asking the same question.
"I say, what exactly are you thinking this time?" Gerian sat in the carriage. His fat and fat body shifted uneasily. "Why did you have to choose this time to attack in broad daylight? Isn't this the same as telling the bastards of the Shadow's Nest that I'm coming? Hurry up and get ready!"
"This question of yours is really ignorant …" Lin Li was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed. Upon hearing Gerian's question, he did not even lift his eyelids, and only replied weakly, "If they want to prepare, let them prepare …"
"F * ck, you're so arrogant. Be careful not to be taken advantage of!"
"Alright, alright. Let's make a hypothesis, Sir President. Let's assume that we're all bandits who are good at hiding. Let's assume that we set off under the cover of the night. Let's assume that we've already entered the Demon Fall Valley before anyone discovers us. Then, Sir President, can you tell me what we can do at this time?"
Gerian said matter-of-factly, "Do what? Of course it's to sneak an attack on them! "
"Sir President, please be clear. There are more than a thousand people here today, but at least 900 of them are mages. What do we use to sneak an attack on them?"
"This …"
"Also, don't forget that the main battle strength of the Shadow's Nest is the bandits who are good at hiding. If we really sneak in under the cover of the night, who knows who will sneak an attack on who. The reason why I chose this time is to weaken their advantage to the greatest extent. I don't believe that no matter how strong the bandits of the Shadow's Nest are, they can still stab me in the back in broad daylight …"
"Listening to what you said, it seems to make some sense …"
"What do you mean by making some sense? This is very reasonable, alright? Anyway, you just have a good night's sleep. When we reach the Demon Fall Valley, we'll directly use magic to attack. The battle will end when the Demon Fall Valley is flattened!" Lin Li's simple sentence had set a simple and brutal tone for this battle.
