However, Lin Li did not decline the offer. He was a guru of five elements and a master of miscellaneous knowledge. As long as it involved professional matters, his vision was naturally much better than Gerian's. Besides, he was actually very interested in the things that the major forces would bring out. To him, this was as fun as treasure hunting.
The two scumbags had a discussion in the reception room. When they came out, their eyes were shining. Anyone who saw them would feel like they were being targeted by wolves.
By the time the two came out of the reception room, the auction was almost set up. None of the 17 forces in Jarrosus City were absent. Even the Merlin Family, who had just fought with Gerian a few days ago, had shamelessly sent their people.
After entering the guild hall, the two scumbags who were supposed to be the protagonists refused to go to the front to greet them. Instead, they snuck to the back very wretchedly and sat down in the middle of a group of guild mages.
"President Gerian!" The group of mages at the side had just turned around when they saw that it was Gerian. They felt a chill run down their spines. Why did this old fellow sit here …
"Shut up! All of you sit down and watch. Don't make a sound. If anyone dares to sell me out, he'll be in deep trouble after the auction … "Gerian glared at them, and the group of mages shut their mouths in fear.
"Do you see that guy with the mustache? He's in the middle of the second row, wearing a red mage robe and looking very showy." Gerian hid in the middle of a group of mages and pointed a wretched finger at the front row. "That's the third brother of the Merlin Family, Evan, Matthew's younger brother. Among the three brothers of the Merlin Family, this guy is the most useless. He's still a Magic Shooter …"
"Then what about the second brother?"
"The second brother, Fario, is the one I can't see through among the three brothers of the Merlin Family. Speaking of which, this fellow has always kept a low profile. When I was young, I even beat him up a few times. I always thought that he was a good-for-nothing, but I didn't expect him to climb higher and higher. Now, he has climbed to the position of Felan Kingdom's finance minister, in charge of the kingdom's economic lifeline. However, I heard that he has some conflicts with Matthew, and has not returned to Jarrosus for several years."
As the two of them were whispering, they heard a commotion coming from outside the Emerald Tower. Looking up, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes walking into the tower. From afar, the man looked to be in his forties. His face was slightly pale, but there was a sense of dignity in his expression.
However, what really surprised Lin Li were the two attendants he had brought along.
One of them was wearing a black mage robe. His entire face was covered tightly by a hood, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. However, the aura he exuded could definitely be described as powerful. Among all the mages Lin Li had seen, other than Andoine, Gerian, and Old Merlin, this person was probably the most powerful.
The other person was also in his forties. He had an unshaven beard and looked a little slovenly. He carried a broadsword diagonally on his back, and a scorching aura exuded from the blade. With Lin Li's eyes, he could tell with just a quick glance that it was definitely an excellent fire attribute magical weapon.
"F * ck!" Gerian's eyes widened when he saw the middle-aged man.
Since coming to the Guild of Magic, Lin Li had rarely seen Gerian lose his composure like this. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is this big shot?"
"Castellan Isaac of Jarrosus City …" Gerian was having a headache. He pointed to the two attendants behind him. "See these two fellows? Elliot, the strongest warrior in Jarrosus City. He had already broken through level-14 last year. Even I'm not sure if I can handle him now. And that one, the chief mage of the Castellan Mansion, Andrew. Other than Old Merlin and me, he's probably the most ruthless among all the mages in Jarrosus."
At this point, Gerian's fat face had completely turned bitter. "This is big trouble. If the Castellan is also interested in those 30 bottles of Arcane Magic Potion, who else would dare to compete with him?"
"Probably not." Lin Li shook his head and denied Gerian's guess. "The Arcane Magic Potion has too many limitations. It's not like you don't know that only magic apprentices below level-five can permanently increase their mana after drinking it. The biggest demand can only be from the 11 mage families. No matter what, he's the highest official in Jarrosus City in name. How could he care about such a thing …"
"That's true …" Gerian scratched his head. "But what if …"
"There's nothing to worry about. Send someone to get in touch with him in private later. Sound him out first …" Once interests were involved, Lin Li became active. "Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he's really interested in the Arcane Magic Potion, his demand will certainly not be too great. At most, just a few bottles. When the time comes, you can secretly get a few bottles from the basement for him. Don't talk about money, just treat it as a favor to him. Who knows, you might even get some benefits in the future. Anyway, as long as he doesn't openly participate in the competition, there won't be too much of a problem."
"Yes, let's do that." Gerian nodded. He was about to find a mage to entrust with an important task, but then hesitated. "I might as well make a trip myself. That would be more respectful …"
"Alright."
After Gerian left, almost everyone had arrived.
The 11 mage families, the six underground forces, the Castellan's Mansion of Jarrosus City, the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, a dozen weak forces, and hundreds of savages — almost everyone in the city who was qualified to compete for the Arcane Magic Potion was seated in the guild hall. For a moment, the spacious guild hall seemed a little crowded.
What surprised Lin Li was that Kevin, who had always been honest, had taken off his mage robe today and put on a long-sleeved, high-collared white shirt with a black vest. He stood on the stage with a small wooden hammer in his hand, pretending to be the temporary auctioneer!
"Ladies and gentlemen! The grandest auction in the history of Jarrosus City is about to begin! " Kevin, who was usually dull and honest, did not show any stage fright when he pretended to be an auctioneer for the first time. His words were full of provocation. "What's going to be auctioned next will be an absolute miracle, a miracle created by our guild's potion master, Mr Felic!"
