Everyone's reaction was within Lin Li's expectations. In fact, this was exactly what he wanted. He wanted them to be unclear of his background, and to be afraid of him. Only then could he curb the ambitions of the 16 forces of Jarrosus, and only then could he ensure the safety of the Emerald Tower. After all, he was about to leave this land …
The next morning, while everyone was still dreaming, Lin Li had already put on his robe and walked out of the tent. He called Norfeller, who had been standing guard outside the tent for the whole night, and the two of them returned to the underground palace in silence. They took the Gem of Curse that kept the calamity field running, and then, without alerting anyone, drove the carriage back to Jarrosus that was shrouded in mist …
The Emerald Tower was deserted. Apart from Kevin, who stayed behind, there were only a few young apprentices. When Lin Li walked into the Emerald Tower, Kevin was yawning while reviewing the level certification application form that had just been handed to him. Kevin was visibly stunned when he saw Lin Li walk in.
"Uncle Gerian didn't come back with you?"
"No …" Lin Li said as he pulled a chair over and sat down. "Your uncle said that the Fengshui of the Demon Fall Valley is pretty good, and he plans to stay there for a long time …"
"…"
"Alright, enough chatting …" After joking with Gerian, Lin Li then got down to business. "Your uncle asked me to bring you a message. Send some carriages to the Demon Fall Valley. There are some small things that need to be transported back."
"What small things?"
"Some gold coins, about six million …"
"…" Kevin sucked in a breath of cold air …
"What …"
"You guys dug up a gold mine?"
"No, we dug up a mausoleum …"
"…"
After being stunned for a full minute, Kevin shook his head with a look of disbelief on his face. He called an apprentice over and asked him to rent a carriage from the courier station.
"Sigh, I knew it. As long as the two of you go out together, something will definitely happen. My God, six million gold coins, how can we finish spending it …"
"…"
As the two of them were chatting idly, they suddenly heard the sound of horses galloping coming from afar.
Lin Li looked out and saw a few carriages parked at the entrance of the Emerald Tower. About 10 mages in black robes walked out of the carriages. One of them was an old man with a white beard. It was Herza, whom he had met a few times in Alanna.
"Alright, Kevin, I have to go …" Lin Li stood up and tidied his rune robe. He squeezed out a warm smile and walked to the entrance of the Emerald Tower. "Good morning, Mage Herza, welcome to the Emerald Tower …"
"Good morning, Mage Felic."
There was a satisfied smile on Herza's face as he looked at Lin Li. He could not be dissatisfied. As the host of this trial, he had unearthed the most talented young mage in the whole of Felan Kingdom, and even in the whole of Anril. No matter who it was, this was something to be happy about. Furthermore, this young mage had obtained the control of a Guild of Magic because of this trial. Just this alone could not go unnoticed as the host. It might not seem like much now, but in 10 or 20 years, with this young mage's ability, this Guild of Magic would definitely have an important position. By then, this favor would not be ordinary …
Looking at the messy guild hall, Herza could not help but sigh. This fatty Gerian's luck was really good. He had been in charge of the Emerald Tower for decades without any improvement, but in his later years, his luck had taken a turn for the better, and he had cultivated such a terrifying genius. This kind of luck was really not something an ordinary person could compare to …
At the thought of Gerian, Herza could not help but frown. He had come as a representative of the Supreme Council, but not only did this fatty not welcome him personally, he even went into hiding. This was simply disregarding the authority of the Supreme Council. If it had been any other time, this alone would have been enough to make him suffer!
But forget it, this fatty had always been mischievous. There was no need to be angry with him over such a small matter. Moreover, Felic was from the Emerald Tower, after all. He would just take it as giving him some face.
At this time, even Herza did not expect that even if he did not hold it against Gerian, there would be someone else who could not take it lying down.
Just as Herza walked into the guild hall, a middle-aged mage showed some dissatisfaction on his face. "Where's Gerian? Why didn't he come out to welcome us personally?"
When he said this, the middle-aged mage had a questioning look on his face, as if it was a crime for Gerian not to welcome him personally. At this moment, the atmosphere in the guild hall turned cold …
Although Lin Li still had a smile on his face, when he looked at the middle-aged mage, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. "May I know how I should address you, Mr Mage?"
"Ahaha, sorry, sorry, Mage Felic, you see, I'm really muddle-headed, I actually forgot to introduce you …" Herza saw the look on Lin Li's face, and immediately knew that things were not going well. What kind of personality did this young man have? He was from the First and Second Bureau, and if this middle-aged mage were to act like this, something big might happen. Luckily, Herza had lived for more than a hundred years, after all. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly tried to smooth things over. "This is Mage Moke, one of the most authoritative Masters of Inscription in the Supreme Council. Oh, yes, after the Mage Tower in the Breezy Plains is built, Mage Moke will be fully in charge of setting up the mageweaths there. If you have any ideas, you can discuss it with Mage Moke now …"
Herza's words were like needles in silk floss. Not only did it dissolve the awkward atmosphere, but it also subtly reminded Lin Li not to be too rash, young man. This Mage Moke was not to be trifled with, and if he were to tamper with the mageweaths, Lin Li would be in big trouble …
"Oh, so it's Mage Moke, it's a pleasure to meet you …" Since Herza had already spoken, Lin Li naturally had to give him face. He only smiled insincerely. "Then the matter of setting up the mageweaths will depend on you, Mage Moke …"
"Hmph, don't worry …" Who knew that the middle-aged mage would not fall for his trick at all. After a cold snort, his gaze swept across the guild hall once again, and his arrogant face was filled with even more disdain. "No matter how useless I, Moke, am, I will not set up a trashy mageweath that can be burnt by a fire!"
"Is that so …" Lin Li smiled, and did not say anything else. He only smiled and asked Herza, "Mage Herza, when can we set off?"
"Anytime!" Herza heard this, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, this fellow who was born to be a porcupine with thorns all over his body did not fall out with him on the spot. Otherwise, if he had really caused trouble, Herza would not have known how to deal with him.
"So soon?" Lin Li was stunned by Herza's words. He had originally thought that Herza had come to Jarrosus specially to settle some important procedures, but he did not expect him to leave so easily without even saying goodbye.
Seeing Lin Li's puzzled expression, Herza explained patiently, "This time, it was just a routine matter. Apart from bringing you to the Breezy Plains, it was also to announce the Supreme Council's decision to Gerian. Unfortunately, Gerian is not around. Since that's the case, I might as well save some saliva. Felic, if there's nothing else, we can set off now. I will tell you the details on the way."
"Alright …" Lin Li thought about it. He had done what he needed to do in the Demon Fall Valley these few days, and he had nothing to worry about. He nodded and called Norfeller, who had been guarding outside the door, in. "Norfeller, go and prepare the luggage. We will set off for the Breezy Plains in half an hour."
"Yes, Master."
As soon as Norfeller walked in, Herza's expression changed.
"What the hell …" Herza almost cursed in shock. F * ck, what did this fella Felic do? How did he suddenly get a Vampire servant in just a few days? And a high-ranking Vampire at that …
After all, Herza had lived for more than a hundred years. His eyes were far better than those of ordinary people. The moment Norfeller walked into the guild hall, Herza could already tell that he was a real high-ranking Vampire. If he was not wrong, this high-ranking Vampire's ability had probably surpassed level-18 …
"Felic …" Herza swallowed his saliva with difficulty. "This is …"
"The bodyguard I just hired. I heard he's pretty good …"
"…" Herza almost died of anger. A bodyguard you just hired? I heard he's pretty good? F * ck, how can you be so perfunctory? Can't you at least come up with a more complicated story?
Unfortunately, Lin Li was not in the mood to come up with a story. He was busy bidding farewell to Kevin.
"Alright, Kevin, we're really leaving this time." Lin Li patted Kevin's shoulder and tried to make his smile look more relaxed. "When your uncle comes back, remember to help me tell him not to go around causing trouble. I'll think of a way to prepare the potion as soon as possible …"
After a few more nagging reminders, Lin Li reluctantly left the Emerald Tower and boarded the carriage sent by the Supreme Council. With the crisp sound of the whip, the wheels began to roll. Under the noon sun, the few carriages headed towards the Breezy Plains to the north of Jarrosus …
Herza sat beside Lin Li. Apart from pointing out the scenery along the way, he also introduced the situation of the Breezy Plains to Lin Li, as well as the resources that the Supreme Council could provide him this time.
He had to admit that the Supreme Council was really generous this time.
Apart from the necessary resources, they also arranged for an Archmage to come over to assist the President in managing the guild.
"Could it be that they sent him to spy on me?" Lin Li frowned discreetly when he heard this.
