After that, it was the fence-sitter who kept talking to himself, and he made the Syer Bandits sound like they were terrifying beasts. It was as if they were not a bunch of robbers, but a group of omnipotent Legendary powerhouses …
Lin Li knew that Alexir was putting in so much effort to scare him. It would be best if he could scare him so much that he would not dare to appear in the Breezy Plains for the rest of his life. That way, he would not anger the Syer Bandits. Otherwise, he would be the first one to suffer if they tried to take revenge on him.
How could Lin Li be bothered by this level of intimidation? Not to mention that he was not afraid of the Syer Bandits, even if he was, he would not be able to leave. He had no choice — it was the Supreme Council's idea to establish a guild in the Breezy Plains. Now that the location and the people had been selected, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. If he asked Lin Li to leave now, wouldn't it be a slap to the Supreme Council's face? If that happened, even the Syer Kingdom would be destroyed by the old perverts of the Supreme Council, much less the Syer Bandits …
Of course, he could not tell Alexir about this …
Hence, Lin Li could only try to brush him off. "Alright, Mayor Alexir, I will consider your suggestion …"
"Then, you have to make up your mind quickly …" Although Alexir was not a shameless person, he was not stupid. He knew that it would be difficult to scare this young mage with just his words. Hence, Alexir did not continue to persuade him. After chatting with Lin Li for a while, he left the small house that was so narrow that it made him uncomfortable. However, before he left, he did not forget to emphasize the power of the Syer Bandits. "Oh, yes, Mage Felic, I'm not sure if you have heard that the Syer Bandits kidnapped the son of the castellan of Roland City a few days ago …"
"Alright, alright, I will be careful, Mayor Alexir …" After sending off the timid fella, Lin Li was about to greet Old Salatt and the rest when he suddenly froze. Why did Roland City sound so familiar?
The bewildered thought flashed through Lin Li's mind, but he did not take it to heart at that time. He merely froze for a moment before throwing it to the back of his mind.
But after Old Salatt and the rest left, Lin Li felt that something was amiss. Where had he heard of Roland City before …?
This question had been bothering Lin Li for more than two days. It was not until the morning of the third day when Kaman ran to him with a perverted smile that Lin Li finally got the answer.
"Roland City? That's a good place. It's the richest city in the Breezy Plains. I heard that the annual tax revenue there is equivalent to five years of Doland City's. Oh, yes, Mage Felic, why are you suddenly asking about this? "
"Ah, so it's that Roland City …" Lin Li suddenly remembered after hearing Kaman's words.
Before coming to the Breezy Plains, Lin Li had gathered a lot of information about Roland City. It was said that this city was located in the middle of the Breezy Plains, and was known as the granary of the Breezy Plains. It was beautiful and rich, and its agriculture was extremely developed. It could provide the entire Felan Kingdom with countless grains every year …
"Oh, yes, Kaman. Have you heard about the kidnapping of the castellan's son?"
"Yes, I have. Haha, this is the most sensational news in the Breezy Plains in recent years. Why, are you interested in the reward, Mage Felic?"
"Ah? What reward …? "
"Hehe, the castellan of Roland City has already issued a reward. He'll agree to any request of anyone who can save his son. No matter what the request is, as long as the castellan of Roland City can do it, he'll fulfill it. Tsk, tsk, tsk. He's the richest castellan of the Breezy Plains. The wealth he has is probably comparable to that of the Glittergold Trade Union. Whoever can save his son will not have to worry about money for the rest of his life …"
Kaman was talking excitedly, but Lin Li was not paying attention. He had been thinking about whether he could make good use of the castellan's reward …
"Heh heh, in my opinion, this reward is prepared especially for you, Mage Felic. With how powerful you and your servant are, rescuing someone from the Syer Bandits would be a piece of cake. Mage Felic, why don't you just suffer a little and help the castellan of Roland City save his son …"
"That's worth considering …"
"Ah?" This time, it was Kaman's turn to be stunned. Rescuing someone from the Syer Bandits was just flattery, and he did not even think that Lin Li would agree to it. What a joke, the Syer Bandits were a force with thousands of people, and were definitely one of the top ten bandit groups in the Breezy Plains. Rescuing someone from their hands unscathed would be more difficult than ascending to heaven …
"Heh heh, Boss Kaman, don't be so nervous. I was just joking …" Lin Li did not want to dwell on it after knowing the answer to the question. He smiled and changed the topic. "Oh, yes, Boss Kaman. Is there anything you need from me today?"
"Yes, Mage Felic …" Kaman quickly put away his fawning smile and put on a serious expression. "Something happened in Doland, and I wanted to ask for your opinion …"
"Tell me about it."
"Mage Felic, do you remember Young Master Lasorick who came to the Exchange previously?"
"Yes, I do."
"It's like this. Not long after you left, Young Master Lasorick sent people over again. Heh heh, it was so embarrassing. I thought they were here to cause trouble, and I was scared out of my wits. After asking, I found out that not only were they not here to cause trouble, they even offered to buy the machete back at its original price …"
"Bought it back?" Lin Li did not know whether to cry or to cry. Was this Lasorick out of his mind? He had bought a Guru-level magical weapon, and yet insisted on claiming that it was a fake. Not only did he destroy the trading center, he even insisted on selling it back at double the price. Yet, in the blink of an eye, this fella had gone back on his word, and bought it back with a jolt …
Lin Li really wanted to ask Lasorick if he had gotten his gender wrong. Why was it that buying a magical weapon was like buying clothes for a woman? He could not make up his mind no matter how much he thought about it …
"Furthermore, furthermore …" Kaman had a strange expression on his face. He stuttered for a long time before continuing. "This morning, Young Master Lasorick came to the Exchange, and asked me politely if I could sell him a few more of these weapons …"
"He wanted a few?" Lin Li had no objections to Lasorick wanting to buy a few more weapons. After all, there was still a lot of rare magical metals left from Kaman. Lin Li would not reject someone who was willing to give him money. Of course, the price of the other weapons would not be as low as before. Anyway, Lasorick's father was the castellan of Doland City. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such a fat sheep …
"Oh, yes, Mage Felic, Young Master Lasorick also said that he wanted me to make arrangements to meet the blacksmith who forged the machete …"
"Let's talk about this next time …" Lin Li hesitated, and did not agree to Kaman's request.
As for the reason why he did not agree to it, it was because he was not a traitor, not because he was loyal, but because the price was not high enough. Lin Li did not agree to meet Lasorick because the price was not high enough. A mere castellan's son was not enough to force him to reveal his identity as a Smithing Guru …
That afternoon, Lin Li had planned to go to Doland City. He was indeed a little interested in the reward from the castellan of Roland City. Of course, he was not interested in the money, but purely because he had his eyes on the granary of the Breezy Plains. It could not be helped — the Dwarf who "said my dad" did not want anything, and insisted on a million gold coins worth of food. In the Breezy Plains, perhaps only the castellan of Roland City had the ability to do so …
If he wanted to rescue the Syer Bandits, he naturally had to find out more about them. Working from the Adventurers Guild was undoubtedly the easiest and most direct way.
After lunch, Lin Li called Norfeller, and the two of them walked to the entrance of the town. Just as they were about to call a carriage from the inn, they suddenly saw a figure that Lin Li did not want to see …
"Mage Felic, I have something to discuss with you …" The person who spoke was the Master of Inscription from the Supreme Council, Moke.
Speaking of this Moke, he was indeed a little abnormal. Herza had also said that this person's level of inscription was even higher than Aldwin's, and he was also very respected in the Supreme Council. Furthermore, he was a good person. At least 20 out of the 24 Guilds of Magic in Felan were handled by him. But for some reason, whenever this person saw Lin Li, it was as if his eight characters were at odds with each other, and he had never given him a good look. Addressing him as "Mage Felic" today was already considered very polite. If it was in the past, it would most likely be a "Hey, who's that?" …
"Good afternoon, Master Moke."
"Hmm." Moke nodded arrogantly, as if the person greeting him was not the President of a Guild of Magic, but the lowest level magical beast.
Hmm my a * s …
Lin Li cursed in his heart. When he looked at Moke again, the smile on his face was no longer as polite as before. "Master Moke, what's the matter?"
"Hmm, the main body of the tower has been completed. I will start setting up the mageweath in two days. If you have any special requests, you can let me know now."
