Although there were many Guilds of Magic in the Felan Kingdom, only the Alanna Guild of Magic had a Legendary powerhouse in charge. Lin Li, who had stayed there for more than two months, naturally knew better than anyone else that the Alanna Guild of Magic, which was not too amazing in strength, could stand firm in the Felan Kingdom because of Aldwin, a Legendary powerhouse.
In fact, in the past ten years, Aldwin had rarely fought in person. The only time was when he fought with the Sword Sage of the Storm for the map of the Highlord's mausoleum. However, no one dared to underestimate Aldwin, who had not fought for more than ten years. When Lin Li had a conflict with Matthias, the Marathon Family dared not do anything to him openly, even though they were powerful in Alanna. What was the reason? It was none other than because Aldwin had once said that whoever dealt with this young mage would be regarded as a provocation to the Guild of Magic.
Provoking the Guild of Magic was equivalent to provoking Aldwin's prestige. Even the Marathon Family, who could cover the sky with one hand, did not have the confidence to bear the wrath of a Legendary powerhouse.
Sometimes, things like power were so direct and effective. As long as you had enough power, you did not even need to fight personally. Often, you only needed to say a word to deter most enemies who had ill intentions.
It was especially so for the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, where the power of a Legendary powerhouse would be increased by a hundredfold. What Lin Li lacked the most now was time. The newly established Breezy Plains Guild of Magic was still too weak, and any force of a certain size could uproot it. At this time, if a true Legendary powerhouse were to join, it would undoubtedly give Lin Li the most precious opportunity for development.
The surprise came so suddenly that no one dared to believe it. When Lin Li heard this, he even thought that he had heard wrongly. He really did not dare to believe that there was such a good thing in this world.
But soon, Lin Li calmed down …
Faced with this pie that fell from the sky, Lin Li had no choice but to remind himself repeatedly to be careful. Something like a pie was often associated with a trap. The addition of a Legendary powerhouse was indeed a good thing that others could only dream of, but what would happen next? Who could guarantee that a good thing would not turn into a bad thing at some point? Lin Li did not believe that he really had the legendary domineering aura that could seduce a group of followers with just a shake of his body.
There must be a reason for everything. Even if it seemed to be an unbelievable coincidence, there must be a reason behind it. Everything in the world was the same. Legendary powerhouse joining in? Very good, this was indeed a joyous occasion worthy of celebration, but the first thought that popped into Lin Li's mind was …
"Why?"
"Of course I have my reasons …"
"Mr. Basel, this explanation doesn't seem very convincing …"
"Listen to me, Mage Felic …" The old man interrupted Lin Li's questioning rather rudely, and then slowly stood up from the rattan chair. The expression on that old face was unusually serious. "I assure you that I have no ill intentions towards you. I do have my own reasons for wanting to join the Guild of Magic, and this reason is definitely not disadvantageous to you. It's just that I can't tell you for now."
At this point, Basel paused for a moment. Perhaps to increase his persuasiveness, the old man added sincerely, "But I promise you that I will tell you the real reason at the right time."
"Then, Mr. Basel, I would like to know, when is the right time?"
"In three months."
"No, no, no, Mr. Basel, three months is too long. I can't be sure if something out of my control will happen during this period. I hope you can understand this. I have to be responsible for myself, the members of the Guild of Magic, and the Supreme Council."
"Alright, then two months it is. But, Mage Felic, this is my bottom line. If you can't even wait this little bit of time, I'm afraid our deal will fall through …"
At this moment, a Legendary powerhouse and an Archmage were like two peddlers on the street, haggling ungracefully. After a difficult negotiation, the final deadline was set to a month.
Then, Lin Li stared at Basel for a full 10 minutes before he suddenly smiled warmly. "Welcome, Mr. Basel."
"It's my honor." The old man sat there quietly without a trace of surprise on his face. It was as if everything was within his expectations.
"By the way, Mr. Basel, what kind of position do you want to take in the Guild of Magic? To be honest, with your noble identity as a Legendary powerhouse, it wouldn't be a problem for you to be the president. However, it's a little troublesome. This position is appointed by the Supreme Council. If I want to transfer it to you, I'm afraid it'll take a long time for the Supreme Council to agree … However, other than the president, I should be able to make decisions for the other positions. "
"Guild Leader, you really know how to joke. I've never thought about taking this position. However, since Guild Leader trusts this old bag of bones so much, I won't stand on ceremony. If possible, I hope that you can leave the position of Chief Judge to me."
"Head judge?" Lin Li was a little stunned. In the Guild of Magic, the head judge was an extremely important position. The authority of this position was not inferior to that of the president. The head judge had full authority over any matters related to the safety of the guild. Sometimes, he could even override the authority of the president. It was no exaggeration to say that to a certain extent, the head judge was equivalent to another president.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that the position of the head judge was empty in many Guilds of Magic, or held by the president himself. For example, the Alanna Guild of Magic — even with Macklin's authority, he did not get the position of the head judge. As for the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, it was needless to say — Sir Gerian was the head judge of the guild. Any provocation against Sir Gerian was considered an act of endangering the safety of the guild. The old man could lead a group of mages to kill the provocateur at any time.
However, Basel's request for such a position did not make Lin Li unhappy at all. Instead, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief …
Basel was a true Legendary powerhouse. With his strength, it would be reasonable for him to ask for the position of the president of the guild. Lin Li was not afraid of him asking for an important position. In Lin Li's opinion, the more important the position, the better. He was afraid that Basel would not want to take on any position, and only ask for a position of no importance. That would be really troublesome …
Appointing a head judge was such an important position. It would definitely be reported to the Supreme Council, and at the same time, let the Supreme Council send a few people to go through the motions. In short, it was to blow this matter up. It would be best if everyone knew about it. Then, there would be a lot of fun. You, Basel, want to stand me up? It's okay, the Supreme Council will deal with you. You want to set a trap for me, right? It's okay, the Supreme Council will deal with you …
With the backing of the Supreme Council, I'm not just a small president of a Guild of Magic. I represent the dignity of the Supreme Council. It's okay if you stand me up and set a trap for me, but if you slap the Supreme Council in the face, will those old perverts who have Legendary-level powers let you off?
"Hehe, President Felic, you can rest assured now, right?" The old man looked at Lin Li with a faint smile.
It was obvious that Basel knew very well what the position of the chief judge meant. The reason why he did that was to prove his sincerity and tie himself to the Guild of Magic, lest there be any unnecessary trouble in the process of their cooperation.
And it turned out that Lin Li really fell for it …
Of course, Lin Li would definitely not admit it. Once this fella achieved his goal, he immediately smiled hypocritically. "Ahahaha, Mr Basel, you're really good at joking. What's there to worry about? You're highly respected and have a noble character. It's an honor for the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic to be able to invite you to join us. It's also an honor for a junior like me. Not to mention the position of the head judge, even if you wanted to be the president of the guild, I would definitely give it to you without a second thought …"
After a vigorous round of flattery, this fella changed the topic. "Oh, yes, Mr Basel, when do you plan to announce this news to the mages in the library? As you know, a bureaucratic organization like the Supreme Council is always procrastinating. I have to hurry up and report the good news of you being appointed as the Chief Judge. Otherwise, I don't know when those old bureaucrats will issue the letter of appointment … "
"…" No matter how good Basel's self-restraint was, he did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this fellow's blatant lies.
Fortunately, Basel had lived for a long time, and his self-restraint was not something that ordinary young people could compare to. After a slight frown, he slowly relaxed his brows. "Don't worry, President. Before I announce this news, I want to talk to you about another matter …"
"Another matter?"
"Yes, it's about the kidnapping of the castellan of Roland City …"
"Oh? I wonder what Mr Basel thinks of this matter? " Lin Li's eyes lit up when he heard this. Don't forget that the plot of land in the Dragon Mountains came from this old man in front of him. He must have a deep understanding of the bandits in the Dragon Mountains. Lin Li had come here today to ask for some information, and was just fretting about not having a chance to speak. He did not expect this old man to take the initiative to mention it …
