"It seems like Granger's boss has quite a powerful background …" Lin Li was a little surprised. A level-15 or 16 Archmage was considered a rare expert in the Breezy Plains. It seemed like Granger's power was not something that the Syer Bandits could compare to. But then again, how would a normal weakling dare to target the Crimson Python?
"This Archmage seems to have a high status. Granger is very respectful in front of him, and seems to be trying to please him …" The magical wave from Ujfalusi's body was unusually active. He was controlling the evil spirit on Granger's body while telling Lin Li everything the evil spirit saw. "But this Archmage doesn't seem to think highly of Granger. He asked him a few questions, and they were all related to the Crimson Python. They are now walking into a campsite …"
"This campsite is near Blackstone Town …" At this point, Ujfalusi's voice was filled with surprise. "Master, there seems to be a lot of Adventurers in this campsite. There are more than 100 tents. Eh, that Archmage just told one of his subordinates that there are too few Adventurers, and they need to recruit more …"
"How are the abilities of these Adventurers?"
"Not bad, they are all above level-10. Other than them, there are six Archmages above level-15, and seven high-level Warriors above level-15 … Wait, that Archmage seems to be bringing Granger to the tent in the middle …"
Ujfalusi was speaking when he suddenly stopped talking. That unusually active magical wave seemed to have quietened down.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but there is a very strong fella in the tent. I was afraid that he would notice something strange about Granger, so I let the evil spirit sleep for now."
"Yes, well done." Lin Li nodded. He was very satisfied with Ujfalusi's cautiousness. As expected of a Lich that had lived for hundreds of years, he knew what to do at the right time. It was not wise to continue peeping now. Although he could take the opportunity to find out the other party's background, it would be a huge risk, and he might even expose his whereabouts.
But after saying that, Lin Li could not help but frown. The force behind Granger was indeed unexpectedly strong. Not to mention the many Adventurers above level-10, just the six Archmages and seven high-level Warriors were not to be trifled with. Moreover, who knew what powerful people were hiding in the tent in the middle?
It seemed that he had made the right decision to let Ujfalusi cast the Haunted Evil Spirit. Otherwise, if he were to collide with him now, it would be fine if there was no conflict. However, if there was a conflict, he really didn't know what the outcome would be.
"Stop the carriage." When they were more than 10 kilometers away from the campsite, Lin Li asked someone to stop the carriage, and then brought Ujfalusi along to find Gerian who was resting with his eyes closed in the carriage.
"What?" When Lin Li climbed into the carriage, Gerian was dozing off with his eyes closed. The old fellow did not react when he suddenly realized there were two more people in the carriage. He only squinted and asked weakly.
"We're in trouble."
"Nonsense …" The old fellow pursed his lips, and looked as if he had foreseen it. "From the moment you said you were coming to the Blackstone Mountains, I knew you were going to be in trouble, big trouble!"
"No …" Lin Li shook his head. "The trouble this time might be bigger than you think …"
"Oh?" This time, Gerian was interested. "Tell me about it."
"So it's like this …" Lin Li repeated what Ujfalusi said to Gerian.
"F * ck!" When he heard the six Archmages, Gerian finally could not help but frown. "It's really big trouble. Damn it, it's not easy to survive in the Breezy Plains. A random force can actually recruit six Archmages. This is more than the Archmages in the whole of Jarrosus. I say, kid, what do you plan to do? Don't tell me you're really going to fight them? You have to think about it carefully. There are six Archmages and seven high-level warriors. If they really fight, your subordinates might not be able to handle it … "
"I'm not afraid of fighting them. Although six Archmages and seven high-level Warriors are powerful, the Tower of Dusk is not to be trifled with. It's hard to say who will win. But why should I fight them? There's no benefit to it, why should I waste my energy …"
"Okay." Gerian nodded, and there was some comfort in his expression. This kid was indeed becoming more and more like a Guild President. "Then what do you plan to do?"
"Of course I'm going to sneak in. Aren't they recruiting adventurers? I'll bring Norfeller and Ujfalusi to sneak in and earn some pocket money. Anyway, I don't know where the nest of the Crimson Python is, so it'll be easier to find it if I follow them. As for the others …" Lin Li paused for a moment. "I've already used the Warlock's Eyes to search just now. There's a small path that leads up the mountain. Why don't you do me a favor and bring them up the mountain to wait for me? But it's best to find a safer place so that we won't be discovered by magical beasts …"
"I'm fine with it, but you have to be careful. Don't get recognized, or you'll be in big trouble …"
"Don't worry …" Lin Li said as he took out two items from his pocket — a yellowed parchment and a transparent crystal. "Take these two items first. This is a map of the Blackstone Mountains that I bought from the Adventurers Guild in Doland at a high price. There are some magical beasts marked on it. Although they're all low-level magical beasts, it's better than walking around blindly. Oh, and this, there's a trace of my mental strength in this crystal. If you meet with any danger, just smash this crystal, and I'll know immediately."
"Okay." Gerian did not decline. He took the two items from Lin Li's hands and kept them carefully.
"Alright, I'll go back to the carriage to prepare."
After discussing with Gerian, Lin Li returned to his carriage and took out a tattered robe from the Ring of Endless Storm. If Gerian was here, he would most likely be able to recognize it at a glance — it was the Robe of Wrath that Lin Li had worn when he first arrived at Jarrosus. This Robe of Wrath was indeed the best choice for disguise. It looked old and tattered, and after going through a few intense battles with Lin Li, there were even a few large patches on it. Lin Li really looked like a down-and-out adventurer when he put it on.
After putting on the Robe of Wrath, Lin Li called Ujfalusi to the carriage and threw a robe to him. "Change into this."
"Yes, Master." Ujfalusi took a look at it. It seemed to be an Arcane Robe that was commonly seen in the market. Apart from being able to seal two scrolls, it was no different from an ordinary robe. Usually, only mage apprentices who did not have much money would buy it. However, this Arcane Robe seemed to have an additional mageweath on it.
Ujfalusi was not good at inscriptions. He only took a quick look at it before putting it on.
Then, he realized that there were some changes in his body. His originally bare bones had become plump in an instant. Although it was still ghastly white, if one did not look closely, one would not be able to tell that he was originally a skeleton. At most, one would think that this person's skin was a little too pale. Coupled with the fact that he was wrapped tightly in the black robe, the original Lich had actually turned into a real mage …
"This is a Transformation Mageweath. In principle, it is similar to the Druid's Transformation Spell. As long as you wear it, it will be very difficult for ordinary people to discover your identity. However, you have to be careful not to come into contact with blood. Once you do, the Transformation Mageweath will lose its effect, and you will become the original Lich. Also, the Transformation Mageweath needs to be replenished once a day. However, with your abilities, this should not be a problem."
"Alright, I'll remember that."
After changing Ujfalusi's appearance with the Transformation Mageweath, Lin Li was ready to set off with Norfeller. However, just as he got off the carriage, he saw Rina waiting for him there.
"Miss Rina, are you looking for me?"
"I'll go with you."
"What are you going to do?" Lin Li was shocked. Ever since the Crimson Python attacked Black Clouds Town, this Paladin had become more and more abnormal. She wanted to interfere in everything. Just like this time, she insisted on following him to the Blackstone Mountains even though he did not ask her to come along. Now, she even wanted to pretend to be an Adventurer with him to blend into the unknown team. It seemed like he really had to find a time to talk to Englos and get him to bring his precious disciple back as soon as possible …
"I am a Judge Paladin of the Brilliance Shrine. My duty is to purify all evil Undead creatures. Although your two subordinates have not done anything worthy of me purifying them, no one can guarantee that they will not do so once they are out of my sight. Hence, I have to go with you!"
"…"
"Also, don't forget that I am not from the Tower of Dusk. I don't need your permission to do what I want to do. I'm only here to inform you."
"Forget it, if you want to go, then go …" Lin Li thought about it, but could not think of a reason to reject her. Anyway, this Rina was not weak. The Paladins of the Brilliance Shrine were at least level-15. Since this Rina was the only Judge Paladin among them, she should not be weaker than level-15 …
"But this time, we're going to disguise ourselves as adventurers. You have to think of a way to change your armor. I've never heard of any adventurers who are so rich that they can wear such expensive armor in battle."
"Give me 10 minutes."
