Sienna did intend to tell Charles that both the Humerus Wyrm and the Legendary-realm Lich had been defeated by the abnormally powerful Mage Felic. However, just as he was about to say it, he glanced at the expressionless Ujfalusi again, and immediately gave up on the idea.
No one would like to be reminded of the scene of someone defeating them, even if the person who defeated them had become their master. Sienna did not know if Ujfalusi had such a taboo, but as a human, he did not want to be mentioned. Although Ujfalusi was already Mage Felic's follower, he was still a powerful Lich, after all, who could destroy him with a snap of his fingers.
"So, let me tell you, it was actually Mage Felic who saved the castellan's children. My men and I only managed to survive because of Mage Felic's protection. This Mage Felic is the real savior of the castellan's son and daughter. "Sienna chose to skip that part, and let Charles guess and fill in the details himself.
Although Sienna did not explicitly tell Charles that the Humerus Wyrm and the Legendary-realm Lich were killed by Mage Felic. However, after hearing such an outcome, was there a need to be any more clear? Charles' legs immediately turned to jelly, and he staggered to the side, holding onto a cabinet to prevent himself from falling.
Charles was already in despair. Although there were many possibilities in this matter, such as the fact that Mage Felic had only defeated the Humerus Wyrm and the Legendary-realm Lich, or that it was Mage Felic's teacher or someone else who had done it, what difference did it make to Charles?
What did he say just now? He said that Lin Li did not understand the language of the nobles. Wasn't that implying that Lin Li was lowly? Damn it, I'm really muddle-headed today. How could I make such a mistake! Charles had been running Seven Leaf Grass for so many years, and he should not have made such a low-level mistake.
Firstly, it was because of his trust in his subordinates, and he did not think that the four mages were that impressive. Then, it was time to negotiate the contract with Sienna. Although he was smiling and making concessions one after another, he was definitely not happy about it. Just like that, he momentarily forgot the principles he had abided by for many years. He did not expect that just this one time would bring him and Seven Leaf Grass into a desperate situation.
After hearing Sienna describe how powerful Mage Felic was, Charles looked at the four mages again, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were unfathomable. He secretly blamed himself for not realizing it from the start. If he had known from the beginning that these four mages were extraordinary, he would not have needed Sienna to do anything. He would have gotten rid of that idiot Larry first.
That pale-faced young man must be the one who killed an Ice Howler that Sienna had mentioned. He was indeed exuding a powerful aura. The Ice Howler was a terrifying magical beast that even Arathor's elite troops could not deal with. There was also that short and skinny mage. The surging magical fluctuations in his body made him feel terrified. It seemed that he wasn't any weaker than that young man. These two powerhouses would be treated like treasures in any faction, but they were just Mage Felic's followers now.
As for Mage Felic himself, Charles could not tell what kind of power he had. He only looked gentle and amiable, and always had a smile on his face. Even when Charles was chasing them away just now, he did not seem to be impatient at all.
At the start, Charles did not think much of it, but after hearing Sienna's introduction, he was reminded of the big shots he had come into contact with in the past. That was what they called keeping their emotions hidden. Naturally, he knew very well that people like that were even scarier. Because no one knew when they would stop smiling, and no one knew what would happen to them when they stopped smiling.
Charles knew that he could not hesitate anymore. If he did not hurry up and do something, he was afraid that things would really reach a point of no return. Thinking of this, he tried his best to calm his emotions, and stood in front of Sienna to give him a solemn bow. No matter what the reason was, if not for Sienna's timely appearance, he would not even know that he had gotten himself into a disaster.
After thanking Sienna, Charles walked in front of Lin Li with trepidation and trepidation.
Looking at the young mage who had a calm smile on his face, Charles used the most solemn etiquette in Anril for the first time in his life. At the same time, he said, "Respected Mr Mage, I apologize for being rude to you previously! I also know that an apology is far from enough for me to offend you. Hence, I am willing to accept any punishment from you as long as I can get your forgiveness. "
After saying that, Charles stood there with his head lowered, and waited anxiously for Mage Felic's verdict. To him, every second of waiting was torture. He was so nervous that he could even hear the sound of his heart beating.
Sienna, who was at the side, was also extremely nervous. Although he had scolded Charles harshly just now, he was afraid that he would be affected if Mage Felic really got angry. He regretted agreeing to Charles' request, and regretted that he did not come down with that fool. This was simply an undeserved disaster.
However, who would be calculative with an ant? Lin Li did not take this matter to heart from the beginning. Facing the two fellows who were so nervous that they almost fainted, he only smiled and said that it was fine.
Charles could not believe his ears, but he did not dare to ask. Did he want the honorable Mage Felic to repeat what he had said just now? How much courage would he have to have? He could only turn his head to look at Sienna, hoping to get a definite answer from him.
"Charles, are you f * cking stupid? Hurry up and thank Mage Felic for his forgiveness," Sienna yelled angrily.
Charles was on the verge of crying. He had even thought about his funeral just now, but he did not expect that a casual sentence from Lin Li would make him experience the feeling of rising from hell to heaven. That was the difference. He did not even have the right to make a real powerhouse angry. In front of Mage Felic, he was as insignificant as an ant. Who would care about an ant's attitude towards him?
Was this considered a new lease of life? Charles felt like he was about to collapse, but it was not the time to relax yet. An ant should have the awareness of an ant. He forced himself to stay alert, and put on an almost obsequious smile on his face. He asked Lin Li, "Honorable Mr Mage, what herbs do you need? I have quite a variety here. Feel free to tell me what you need. Don't delay your matters because of my mistake."
"Charles, do you think this is a place to talk!?" Sienna reminded from the side. Seeing that Mage Felic did not mind Charles' offense, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If even Charles was fine, then he would definitely be fine. However, this fella was really not in his right mind. How could he not even have a place to sit when he was talking to a big shot like Mage Felic? Was he scared out of his wits?
Charles was also flustered by the consecutive blows. Although he tried his best to stay alert, his brain was still like glue. After all, this was considered a narrow escape from death. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was still in shock. Under Sienna's reminder, he hurriedly apologized for his rudeness while bringing Lin Li and the rest to the living room on the second floor in trepidation.
After getting everyone to their seats, Charles stood in front of Lin Li with an attentive smile on his face. He once again asked Lin Li what herbs he needed.
Charles was quite confident about medicinal herbs. The reason why Seven Leaf Grass was able to achieve what it had today was that it had a complete variety of medicinal herbs. Whether it was rare medicinal herbs that grew in dangerous places or cheap ones that could be found all over the mountains, Seven Leaf Grass could be found. Charles's business philosophy was to allow pharmacists to prepare all the medicinal ingredients needed for the formula at Seven Leaf Grass instead of having to run around. Of course, this was only for ordinary formulas.
The formula that Lin Li got from William was lost during the Dark Age, and it was contrary to the principles of traditional pharmaceutics. Some of the herbs used were also rarely used in traditional formulas. Just now in the living room downstairs, Lin Li had seen most of the herbs of the Seven Leaf Grass. He didn't know if Charles still had some that he didn't put out. Hence, he mentioned a few that he didn't have.
Charles initially wanted to take this opportunity to please Mage Felic. In his opinion, even if this young and powerful mage had studied pharmaceutics, it would only be out of interest, and he would at most be at a beginner level. With this level of pharmaceutics, the formulas that he could prepare would involve relatively common herbs. With the abilities of the Seven Leaf Grass, there would definitely not be an awkward situation where he didn't have any.
However, after hearing the names of the herbs that Lin Li mentioned, Charles's attentive smile turned into a bitter one. The herbs that Lin Li wanted were not only rare, but also rather rare in traditional pharmaceutics. At least, since Charles started running the Seven Leaf Grass, he had almost never met any pharmacists who bought these herbs.
Although Charles didn't study pharmaceutics, he was in the herb business, after all. Hence, he more or less knew about the level of herbs and formulas. As soon as he heard the names of these herbs, Charles knew that the level of this formula was probably not low. It was definitely not made by this young mage. Perhaps it was made by a pharmaceutics Master that he knew. Strength determined one's status, and one's social circle depended on one's status. With Mage Felic's strength, it didn't seem impossible for him to know a pharmaceutics Master.
Seeing that Charles looked troubled, Lin Li asked, "Why? Is there a problem?"
Charles shuddered and explained awkwardly, "Honorable Mr. Mage, this matter is indeed a bit difficult. The herbs that you need are not only rare, but also rarely used by other pharmacists. Not to mention me, I'm afraid that even the Tree of Emerald in the City of Late Winter might not have them on hand. "
"Is that so?" Lin Li frowned slightly, not because he was dissatisfied that Charles didn't have those herbs, but because Charles said that even the Tree of Emerald in the City of Late Winter might not have them on hand.
Lin Li, who had lived in the Breezy Plains for a year, had naturally heard about the City of Late Winter and the Tree of Emerald that Charles mentioned. As the owner of the Tower of Dusk and the President of the Breezy Plains' Guild of Magic, Lin Li naturally had his subordinates who specially collected and reported all kinds of information in the Breezy Plains even though he had been extremely busy and didn't have much leisure time.
The City of Late Winter was also a famous city in the Breezy Plains. Just like how Roland City was known as the City of Abundance and the granary of the Breezy Plains, the City of Late Winter was also known as the City of Nature and the treasure house of the Breezy Plains.
Because the City of Late Winter was located at the border of the Breezy Plains and close to the Elven Kingdom, it had the largest herb market in the entire Breezy Plains. In fact, the real treasure house wasn't the City of Late Winter, because the various rare herbs traded in the herb market weren't produced in the City of Late Winter. Instead, they came from its neighbor, the Elven Kingdom.
The Emerald Forest where the Elven Kingdom was located was also known as the God-given Land. Legend had it that the Goddess of Forest, Monferra, had given the Elves a fertile land. In the boundless Emerald Forest, almost all the plant herbs used by pharmacists could be found in the Emerald Forest, except for those that required extreme conditions to grow, such as the black lotus. Furthermore, the quality of the herbs was far better than those produced in other places. It was definitely a vast land with abundant resources.
In the pharmacist industry, there was a rumor that was close to a joke. It was said that when one wanted to concoct a potion, one only needed to look at the medicinal ingredients that were produced in the Emerald Forest to determine the success rate of the concoction. Of course, this was just a joke. What affected the success rate of the potion was not only the quality of the herbs, but also the ability of the pharmacist. However, the quality of the herbs had a huge impact on the final quality of the potion. Hence, the herbs produced in the Emerald Forest had always been highly sought after by pharmacists.
In fact, apart from plant herbs, the Emerald Forest also had a wide variety of animals, insects, and birds. However, due to the nature of the Elves, most of them weren't sold. There was only one way to obtain them — poaching.
However, poaching in the territory of the Elves would definitely result in a worse outcome than killing the animals. In the forest, the Elves were the best hunters in the world of Anril. It was just that they didn't hunt the animals that lived in the forest, but intruders from the outside world with ill intentions.
