It was Jason who came out of the tent …
Speaking of which, Lin Li's previous trip to the ruins of Syer Town had been a good one. Apart from obtaining a large amount of food, it had also brought great benefits to both groups of people.
The first group was Sienna's mercenary corps. With the credit of rescuing the castellan's son and daughter, Sienna had quickly gained Arathor's recognition. Now, he and his mercenary corps were considered the upstarts of Roland City. Not only did they have priority in accepting missions with low risks and high rewards, they could also choose Adventurers from the retired soldiers of Roland City. Besides, the castellan had also sent a few high-level Warriors to help them train their combat skills.
The other group of people who had benefited greatly was, of course, Jason and his men. The news of Roland City's castellan's son being kidnapped had shaken the entire Breezy Plains. When Sin 'dorei was rescued, everyone naturally attributed it to Jason and his men. This was very normal. Although Sienna's mercenary corps had become the upstarts of Roland City, anyone with a discerning eye would know that their abilities were not worth mentioning at that time. The only ones who could save Sin' dorei from the hands of the Syer Bandits were Jason and his men …
It was said that there was a young mage who had saved Sin 'dorei, but what could a young mage in his twenties do? Mages were not Warriors, and before they became Magic Shooters, they would not be able to unleash the power of magic.
After returning from the ruins of Syer Town, Jason's reputation had almost reached its peak, and he had become the most popular Adventurer in Doland City. Now, he did not even need to go to Doland's Adventurers Guild. As long as he sat at home, there would naturally be countless lucrative missions coming to him.
Even Johnathan, who was far away in Aminya, seemed to know this top Adventurer of Doland City. When Jason walked out of the tent, Johnathan's eyes lit up like a fanatic who had seen his idol. He did not even know where to put his hands, and grabbed Lin Li who was beside him as he shouted excitedly, "Brother Felic, Brother Felic, did you see … That's really Jason!"
"I saw it, I saw it …" Lin Li did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he could not say much to him. He could only be patient and go along with him over and over again.
"That's great, Brother Felic, we're really lucky this time. Not only did we get 10,000 gold coins, but we also got to fight alongside Jason. Haha, this is the dream of every Adventurer. When we return to Aminya, I'm going to tell all my friends about this. I want them to know that I, Jonathan, am an Adventurer who fought alongside Jason!"
Lin Li was dumbfounded. "Isn't this a little too exaggerated …"
"Exaggerated? Brother Felic, this is not an exaggeration at all. You have to know that Jason is the number one Adventurer in Doland. It's such an honor to be able to fight alongside him … "
"…" Lin Li touched his nose and wisely kept his mouth shut.
"Oh, yes, Brother Felic, you seem to be from Doland too. Have you seen Jason before?"
"No …" Lin Li scratched his head. Seeing that Jonathan did not quite believe him, he explained, "This is mainly because I've been living in a small town in the countryside. I rarely have the chance to go to Doland City."
Lin Li had no choice. He was too embarrassed to tell Jonathan that he had not only seen Jason before, but had also used a Cloud Storm to cripple his Bandit companion. Hence, Lin Li could only tell a small lie out of goodwill.
"Oh, that's a pity …"
"Yeah, yeah, it's such a pity …" Lin Li rubbed his nose, and echoed insincerely.
When Jason's back was far away, Johnathan suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Brother Felic, have you filled out the form?"
"I've filled it out a long time ago …" Lin Li secretly rolled his eyes. This fella was really a fanatical fan. He actually only remembered the matter now. As he handed the form over, Lin Li asked, "Oh, yes, Brother Jonathan, the Malfa Family is recruiting more than 100 Adventurers this time, right?"
"More than 100? Heh heh, I think there are more than 200. Look at these tents, they are all prepared for the Adventurers. The Malfa Family's own people will only come tomorrow … "Jonathan said as he flipped through the form in his hands. As he flipped through it, he could not help but look surprised." Brother Felic, you're actually a Magic Shooter now? Haha, I really couldn't tell. You're already so powerful at such a young age. If you're successful in the future, don't forget to take care of your Brother Jonathan … "
"Heh heh, Brother Jonathan, you really like to joke. No matter how successful I am, I can't compare to you, Brother Jonathan. Although there are many Adventurers in Aminya, I think it's rare to see a level-14 Warrior at the age of 30 …"
"Heh heh …" Jonathan chuckled, tacitly acknowledging Lin Li's compliment. This was indeed something that Jonathan was most proud of. Breaking through to level-14 before the age of 30 meant that he had the chance to become a high-level Warrior in his lifetime. Once he became a high-level Warrior, his status would immediately change. Although there was only a difference of one level between level-14 and level-15, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth. Only by crossing this gap could one truly be considered a powerhouse that would be respected by others. Otherwise, no matter how hard one worked, he would only be cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at will.
Lin Li took the opportunity to chat with Johnathan while he flipped through the forms, and tried to find out more about the mission. Johnathan was a very easygoing person, and he took good care of Lin Li, his new brother. During the conversation, Johnathan told Lin Li everything he knew, and almost told Lin Li everything he knew.
It was a pity that Jonathan knew too little …
Lin Li chatted with him for half an hour, but did not get anything valuable out of it. Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, he suddenly heard a chuckle from behind.
"I was wondering why this place smells so good. So there's a beautiful lady here …" The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties. He looked fair and handsome, and his clothes were extremely luxurious. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was most likely a young master from a prominent family. This young master seemed to have drunk a little. When he walked over, he reeked of alcohol, and Lin Li could not help but frown.
"Beautiful lady, tell me, what's your name …" The young man swayed as he walked over, hiccuping and laughing lewdly. His eyes stared straight at Rina.
"…" Lin Li touched his nose, and did not say anything. He had seen many perverts, but this was the first time he had met such an unlucky one. This fella was really unlucky. He had finally managed to flirt with an innocent woman, and now he had to flirt with a Paladin from the Brilliance Shrine …
"Get out of my way."
Rina frowned slightly. This small action did not affect her beauty at all in the eyes of the drunkard. For a moment, his eyes were glued to her.
"It's such a waste for such a beautiful lady like you to be an Adventurer. Fighting and killing are for the lower class. Since you're so beautiful, why don't you follow me? I'm from the Malfa Family …"
Who knew that before he could finish his sentence, he heard a soft "Qiang" sound. When he came back to his senses, a sharp sword with a cold gleam had already been placed on his neck. A dense chill seeped out from the blade of the sword, scaring half of his drunkenness out of his stupor.
"What … What are you trying to do?" This dandy's face turned pale in fear. He had thought that this chick was just an Adventurer that he had just recruited. Although she was pretty, she definitely did not have a strong background. Even if she got angry after being teased by him, she would not dare to say anything. If she was a little timid, she might be scared by his identity and submit …
However, he did not expect that this was actually a rose with thorns. She had drawn her sword at the slightest disagreement, and that biting cold murderous aura seeped out from the blade. Even a fool would know that this woman really wanted to kill him …
"Hey, hurry up and put down your sword. Do you know who this is? This is Young Master Harvey. If you hurt Young Master Harvey, even ten heads wouldn't be enough!" The followers at the side were also scared out of their wits. What kind of joke was this? The heir of the Malfa Family had a sword on his neck? If the patriarch heard about this, he would not even know how he died.
"I … I advise you to calm down. If you hurt me, it will not do you any good. When that happens, you and your companions will not be able to escape. Why don't … Why don't you put down the sword first and we can have a good talk?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Do you know who this is? This is the second young master of the Malfa Family. The second young master is speaking to you because he thinks highly of you. Don't be ungrateful. If you really hurt the second young master, not only you, but your family will also be in trouble. Think about your parents, think about your relatives …"
"Scram!"
The moment he put down his sharp sword, Harvey retreated with a pale face. He only dared to poke his head out when he was under the protection of a few of his followers. He shouted at Rina, unwilling to give up, "I won't let this go!"
All of this happened in the corner of the campsite. Apart from a few onlookers, it did not cause too much of a commotion. After Harvey and the rest left, the surroundings quickly returned to normal. Rina slowly put away her sword, and slowly walked towards her tent. However, when she brushed past Lin Li, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions."
Lin Li stared at Rina's eyes for a long time. "As my temporary companion, I hope you understand one thing. In my eyes, there is nothing more important than companions. That's right, I do want to save some energy and use the Malfa Family to find the nest of the Crimson Python. But if I have to use my companion to swallow his anger, I would rather climb the Blackstone Mountains and search slowly. Next time, I hope you will not put down your sword so easily …"
