"How about this, Master Moke, if you have the time, help me set up ten Wards of Bad Luck in the tower …"
"Ward of Bad Luck?" When these words fell into his ears, Moke was instantly dumbfounded.
Actually, before he asked Lin Li, Moke had already thought about it. Anyway, the Supreme Council did not explicitly stipulate what level of mageweath he had to use. When the time came, he would just casually make a few low-level mageweaths for him, and then he would be able to report back to the Supreme Council. Anyway, this fella did not look like he had any research in Inscription. Even if he made a few low-level mageweaths for him, he would not be able to tell …
However, Moke really did not think that this fella would be so ignorant. What was the Ward of Bad Luck? It was only the simplest entry-level mageweath. Not to mention a Master of Inscription like Moke, even the most useless apprentice under him could easily make dozens of them.
Thinking about this, Moke really did not know whether to laugh or cry.
A dignified Master of Inscription was actually asked to set up ten Wards of Bad Luck …
But forget it, this was good too.
Ten Wards of Bad Luck was something he suggested himself. Even if Herza asked in the future, he would have something to say. Why, it's not that I, Moke, did not try my best. It's purely that ignorant and incompetent fella who does not know what's good for him. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself. Those ten Wards of Bad Luck, was it his own request?
"Alright, ten Wards of Bad Luck, right …" Moke nodded, and walked away with a strange expression.
"F * ck, what did I do to offend him …" Seeing Moke walk further and further away, Lin Li could not understand. This Moke was indeed a little abnormal. By right, they had not even met each other. Even if he did not like Lin Li, there should be a limit. Why did he become like this, targeting Lin Li everywhere, as if he would not stop until Lin Li was dead. F * ck, did he have to make it so exaggerated?
Look at what this fella did …
Forget about his usual bad attitude, he actually dug a hole for me to jump into today. F * ck, you are a dignified Master of Inscription. How can you take out something like the Ward of Bad Luck? I just casually said that I wanted ten Wards of Bad Luck, and you really agreed to it? 'Are you kidding me? Even a fool would know that the key to a Mage Tower's defense was mageweaths. If you really relied on these 10 entry-level mageweaths, a swarm of mosquitoes would be able to take down the Mage Tower …'
Seeing Moke's figure disappear from his sight, Lin Li curled his lips and muttered, "Luckily I had a trick up my sleeve …"
In the hands of ordinary people, the Ward of Bad Luck was indeed one of the weakest mageweaths, but Lin Li knew that it could exert unimaginable power if used properly …
Of course, Lin Li was not interested in reminding Moke.
After sending Moke off, Lin Li called for a carriage at the courier station, and brought Norfeller to Doland slowly.
After the carriage entered Doland, the two walked all the way, and soon arrived at the entrance of the Adventurers Guild. The Breezy Plains was indeed not a peaceful place. The number of Adventurers in a small city like Doland was actually more than the number of Adventurers in the capital of Felan Kingdom, Alanna. The two walked up the stairs, and instantly saw a bustling scene. Hundreds and thousands of Adventurers squeezed the spacious Mission Hall so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through. Lin Li and Norfeller spent a lot of effort to squeeze a path out of the crowd.
The Adventurers Guild was originally a place where people of good and bad mixed together, especially in the chaotic Doland City. There were old and young Adventurers, as well as powerhouses who were above level-15. There were even more thieves and pickpockets. Thousands of Adventurers were bustling about, and the Mission Hall was like a bustling market.
Just as Lin Li walked into the Mission Hall, he suddenly felt something move in his pocket. Before Lin Li could even turn his head, Norfeller had already stretched out his hand …
"You … Let go!"
A panicked voice came from behind. Lin Li quickly turned around, and saw a short and skinny young man standing there. One of the young man's hands was already grabbed by Norfeller, and he was struggling non-stop. But how could the strength of a human compare to the strength of a high-ranking Vampire like Norfeller? That hand seemed to be clamped by an iron clamp. No matter how the short and skinny young man struggled, he could not move an inch …
On the index finger of that hand, there was a money pouch. At this moment, the money pouch was swinging back and forth in the air as the short and skinny young man struggled …
Lin Li naturally understood everything when he turned around.
Doland was indeed Doland. Even thieves were wilder here than in other places. Be it in Jarrosus or Alanna, he had never been visited by thieves before. Who would have thought that he would break this record after just a few days in Doland?
"You … What do you want? I, I, I … I'm telling you, you'd better not act recklessly. This is the territory of our Black Hand Brotherhood. If you offend the people of our Black Hand Brotherhood, you won't have a good ending … "When the short and skinny youth saw the unfriendly expressions of the two, he immediately panicked. He didn't care about anything else and quickly used the name of the Black Hand Brotherhood to scare the other party.
"Brotherhood of Black Hand?" Upon hearing this name, Lin Li was stunned for a moment. He vaguely felt that this name sounded familiar.
Oh, right …
Wasn't this Brotherhood of Black Hand the bad society that Old Salatt's son, Garso, had joined? So it was a den of pickpockets …
No wonder he saw half a metal hook on Garso at the Cathedral Square that night. It seemed like that fella had a special occupation in Doland. Seems like I'll have to ask Old Salatt to discipline that fella when I get back. F * ck, he could have done anything else, but he chose this profession. Murder, arson, rape, and robbery — which one of them is less promising than being a pickpocket?
"Brotherhood of Black Hand, right?" Lin Li glanced at the short and skinny young man before instructing the high-ranking Vampire, "Norfeller, let go of him first."
"Yes, Master."
As soon as the iron-like arm loosened, the short and skinny youth immediately felt a sense of relief. While rubbing his bruised wrist, he embarrassedly said, "At least the two of you know what's good for you …"
"Shut up, idiot!" When Lin Li saw this guy's expression, he was immediately angered. "I despise pickpockets the most in my life. If it wasn't for the fact that I have something for you to do, I would have killed you long ago …"
"What a joke!" The short and skinny young man's expression changed. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly felt a burning sensation rising from the soles of his feet …
The short and skinny young man looked down in shock, and almost had a heart attack. He could clearly see that his feet were on fire all of a sudden.
"What the hell, what's going on? Help …" Intense pain came from his feet. It was as if the two balls of fire were born on his feet. No matter how the short and skinny young man struggled, the two balls of fire did not seem to be extinguished.
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a little trick …" Lin Li saw that it was about time, and then waved his hand to disperse the mana. "But if you don't want to cooperate, this little trick might cost you your life …"
"You, you, you … What are you trying to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. It's just that I have something that I need your help with …" Lin Li said as he led Norfeller out of the Mission Hall. "If you don't want to be roasted, you'd better follow me obediently …" Lin Li said as he led Norfeller out of the Mission Hall.
"What the hell …" The short and skinny young man could not help but shudder at the thought of being completely roasted. He hurriedly stumbled out of the hall.
The three of them arrived at a secluded place, and Lin Li stopped slowly. He turned around and gave the short and skinny young man a creepy smile. "Introduce yourself first."
"I … I'm Duke …"
"Very well, Duke. Are you interested in earning some money to spend?"
"Huh?"
"What 'huh'? Yes means yes, no means no. Why are you staring at me? I'm not a monster, would I eat you …"
"…" Duke swallowed his saliva, and cursed in his heart. Who the hell knows if you're a monster or not …
"What's the matter?"
"This …" The short and skinny young man hesitated for a while, and then said with a trembling voice, "Yes …"
"I have something that I need someone to help me with. If it's done, I can pay you five thousand gold coins."
"What … What did you say? Five thousand gold coins?" This shocking number almost scared Duke out of his wits. When he touched the other party's purse, he felt that it was heavy. Duke knew at that time that this guy was definitely rich, but no matter how rich Duke's imagination was, he would never have thought that this guy would be rich to such an extent. A casual task actually offered a reward of five thousand gold coins. Could it be that his gold coins were blown by the wind?
"Yes, five thousand gold coins. Are you interested?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes …" At this moment, Duke really wanted to grow two more heads. He was afraid that the five thousand gold coins would grow wings and fly away if he nodded any slower …
"You should have heard of the Syer Bandits, right? I need a set of detailed information on them. I don't care if you steal it or rob it, but you have to give me a set of detailed information within three days. How many people are there, how strong they are, where they usually gather, what is the name of their boss, what did they do in the past, how strong they are, and what color of underwear they usually wear. Anyway, the more detailed the better. If I'm satisfied with the information, I don't mind increasing the reward to ten thousand gold coins. "
"Oh my god …" Duke found it hard to breathe when he heard this shocking number.
"But …" Lin Li threw out the bait, and then changed the topic. "But if you dare to mess this up, I promise you that your life will not be very happy in the future. Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you just now. I've done something to you. Don't worry, it will not threaten your life. It will only make it easier for me to find you. If I want to, even if you escape to the other side of the Endless Ocean, I can still find you. Do you understand now?"
"Understood …"
"Very good." Lin Li smiled in satisfaction, and took the money bag from Norfeller's hands. He tossed it in his hands, and threw it back into Duke's hands. "Take the money in this money bag as a deposit. Come and find me at the ore exchange opposite when you are done with your task. Remember, you only have three days …"
Lin Li stayed at Kaman's ore exchange for the next two days.
Since the Mage Tower in Black Clouds Town was still under construction, he wouldn't be able to help much even if he went back. Hence, he might as well stay in Doland City for the time being. Firstly, it would save him time traveling back and forth, and secondly, he could borrow Kaman's workshop. He had to admit that being rich was indeed a great thing. Compared to Old Salatt's blacksmith shop, Kaman's workshop was much better. It had all the necessary facilities, and he could use whatever tools he wanted. Furthermore, every single one of them was of the finest quality. In Kaman's own words, if he had sufficient forging skills, he could even forge magical weapons in this workshop.
Of course, Lin Li did not forge any magical weapons …
He only took out the leftover magical metals from the last time, and forged a few magical weapons that could barely be considered Master-level. Anyway, someone like Lasorick would not even be able to recognize rainbow adamantine weapons of eight attributes, so it would be a waste to give him equipment that was too good …
On the morning of the third day, Lin Li handed the three magical weapons to Kaman, and was having breakfast while wondering if Duke would stand him up. Just then, a staff member from the trading house came running over.
"Mage Felic, there's a Bandit called Duke outside. He says he's your friend. Do you want to meet him?"
"Yes, let him in."
After sitting there for less than five minutes, the exchange staff brought Duke over.
"Good morning, Mage Felic …"
"Good morning, Duke. How's the matter I asked you to do?"
"It's almost done, Mage Felic. Do you want to listen to me now?"
"Yes, tell me about it …"
"The Syer Bandits were developed from the militia of Syer Town, and their leader, Vanskore, was once the leader of the militia. Twenty years ago, Syer Town was hit by a plague, and it was said that half of the population died in that plague …"
