"May I know who you are …?" Lin Li's smile was filled with doubt. He really could not recall if he knew this burly mage. Why was he asking "I'm looking for President Felic?" He seemed to be very familiar with him …
"My name is Gavin. You can call me Archmage Gavin or Mr Gavin." The middle-aged man frowned as he felt a little uncomfortable. How dare a mage apprentice who was guarding the door question him? This Guild of Magic was too unruly.
Gavin's expression did not look good when he, an Archmage, was questioned by a mere apprentice. After all, he was one of the strongest mages in Doland. No matter where he went, he would always be respected. He did not expect to be treated like this in this remote town.
What Gavin could not stand was the fact that he had been standing at the door for a long time, and that President Felic had not come out to welcome him. Did he really think that he had to rely on the Guild of Magic?
Gavin's expression turned even uglier at the thought of this.
If it had been in the past, Gavin would have left long ago. Why would he waste his breath on a mage apprentice?
However, not this time. This matter was ordered by Mr Basel, and no mage in the entire Doland City dared to go against Mr Basel's orders. It was not only out of fear, but also out of respect and gratitude.
To the mages of Doland, Mr Basel was a truly respectable elder. He had been managing the library of Doland for 50 years, and had been imparting knowledge to everyone without reservation. Be it in Gavin's heart or in the hearts of others, Mr Basel was everyone's magic mentor. It was just that Mr Basel had always refused to admit it …
Regardless of whether Mr. Basel admitted it or not, he was the most respected person in Doland. That was without a doubt. With just a word from Mr. Basel, the mages of Doland would do anything for him, including using magic to destroy the Castellan Mansion!
Of course, Gavin did not dare to disobey Mr. Basel's orders, and he did not resist it at all. Indeed, he had lived a free life in the past, studying in the library of Doland, occasionally receiving guidance from Mr. Basel, completing a few missions for the Adventurers Guild every month, and using the rewards from the missions to support his daily life.
That was how Gavin had been living for the past 20 years, but he was not satisfied. He yearned for power, and he needed those expensive potions, rare magical equipment, and profound magic books. However, these things cost millions of gold coins, and definitely could not be afforded by the rewards from the Adventurers Guild. Gavin knew that there was only one way to obtain all these for free in Anril, and that was to join a Guild of Magic.
With the support of the Supreme Council, most Guilds of Magic would provide their mages with all sorts of resources, including potions, equipment, and books. To Gavin, this was indeed a fatal attraction …
Most importantly, Gavin did not want to stay in the library for the rest of his life. He was already an Archmage, and was definitely one of the strongest mages in the whole of Doland. Yet, to most people, the name Gavin was still unfamiliar …
Be it ambition or desire, Gavin just craved enough respect. Just like the chief mage of the castellan's mansion, he was escorted by luxurious carriages, and wore long robes and held magic staffs that were all worth millions of gold coins. He enjoyed the envious and jealous gazes of the rich and powerful. Gavin had always felt that this was the only way to be a successful mage.
Thus, Gavin came to the Tower of Dusk, and did not leave even after being questioned by a mage apprentice …
"Very well, Mr Gavin. May I know why you are looking for me?"
"Huh?" Gavin subconsciously dug his ears, and asked in a dazed tone, "What did you say?"
Lin Li's smile was a little helpless, but he still repeated, "I said, Mr Gavin, may I know why you are looking for me?"
This time, Gavin heard it clearly.
However, it still took him a full minute to understand the meaning of this sentence.
"You … You are President Felic?" Gavin suddenly felt his brain go blank. He stared at Lin Li as if he had been hit by something heavy.
"Yes, I am Felic."
"…" Gavin's expression froze.
On the way there, Gavin had been speculating about President Felic's character, character, and strength. However, Gavin had never guessed President Felic's age. In Gavin's opinion, President Felic, who was recognized by the Supreme Council and could lead a Guild of Magic, had to be a respectable elder. On the way there, Gavin was even secretly thinking about how he should address this elder so that he could show his respect and not lose face …
Then, Gavin suddenly realized that he could not use any of the names he had thought of …
This was because this President Felic was really too young …
"You … You are really President Felic?" Gavin swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and even stuttered when he spoke.
"Yes, Mr Gavin, I am really Felic. If you still have doubts, you can go to Black Clouds Town and ask around. Many of the neighbors there know me. But, Mr Gavin, before that, shouldn't you first tell me why you came to Black Clouds Town?"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes …" Gavin finally sobered up after Lin Li's question. He hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket and introduced himself to Lin Li. "I'm really sorry, President Felic, your age really scared me. If it's possible, please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Gavin from Doland, and Mr Basel introduced me to you. This is a letter from Mr Basel, and the details are all in it."
"Oh?" Lin Li opened the letter, and quickly scanned through its contents.
Basel's letter was not too long, and Lin Li only took a short while to finish reading it. There was nothing much in it — just a few simple greetings and an introduction to Gavin and the others. According to Basel, this group of people came from the library of Doland, and were the most outstanding mages there. Gavin, the strongest among them, had already broken through to level-16, and the weakest was already level-14. Basel hoped that Lin Li could make proper arrangements for them, and also hoped that they could be of some help to the newly established guild.
As for Basel himself, he was currently being held up by some matters, and would only be able to come to Black Clouds Town to fulfill his duties in about two months.
Basel did not specify what he was being held up by in the letter, but Lin Li could tell from the two-month deadline that it was most likely something troublesome. Something that could delay a Legendary-mage for two months was definitely not something that could be easily resolved.
"Mr Gavin, Mr Basel has already explained everything in the letter …" Lin Li carefully folded the letter and put it in his pocket before extending a hand to Gavin. "Now, on behalf of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, I would like to welcome all of you into the guild!"
"That would be our honor …" Gavin actually felt a little relieved when he extended his hand. He had actually treated the president of the guild as a mage's apprentice. Fortunately, he did not say anything too overboard, or he would not know how to answer to Mr Basel when he returned.
However, thinking about it carefully, it did not seem like he could be blamed for this. Who had ever seen such a young guild president?
Until now, Gavin still did not dare to believe it. A 20-year-old guild president … Was it him or the Supreme Council that had gone mad?
Forget it, it was the Supreme Council's decision anyway, and had nothing to do with him. Furthermore, it was actually a good thing that the guild president was young. This President Felic was only in his twenties, and his attainments in magic naturally could not be compared to those older mages. Perhaps he was still working hard to break through to the realm of a Magic Shooter now.
Moreover, the Guild of Magic had just been established, and most likely did not have any powerful powerhouses. With his abilities as a level-16 Archmage, it would be very easy for him to be put in an important position. Furthermore, young people were always more sensitive. With his abilities and prestige, he could even influence the young president's decisions and become the actual controller of the entire guild …
Just like that, Gavin followed Lin Li into the Tower of Dusk with all sorts of beautiful fantasies …
Immersed in his sweet dreams, Gavin had no idea what kind of fate awaited him, and what kind of lunatic he was following …
Lin Li personally registered them as members. To be honest, Lin Li was in a good mood. They were the first batch of members of the Tower of Dusk. Their addition meant that the Tower of Dusk was no longer deserted, and that the Guild of Magic had been officially established. Although it was all because of Basel, Lin Li knew from the conversation that Basel held a supreme position in the hearts of these mages. If he were to fall out with Basel now, at least nine out of ten of these mages who were members of the Tower of Dusk would not hesitate to cast their spells on him. As for the remaining one, he would probably be reciting a spell …
