The castellan heaved a long sigh of relief when he finally saw the gray-robed mage make a move.
Tonight's banquet had been too exhausting for him. Bathrilor's sneak attack had already scared him half to death, and he was afraid that Lin Li would be in trouble and attract Gerian's revenge. But then the situation took a turn for the worse. Lin Li stood up from the ground, severely injured Bathrilor with two instantaneous spells, and even released the Flaming Storm to kill.
At that moment, Isaac's heart turned cold.
Bathrilor came from an illustrious background. Even Isaac, the castellan, had to be wary of him. If he were to die at his banquet, Isaac could not imagine the consequences.
Fortunately …
Seeing the gray-robed mage walk out from the secluded corner, Isaac's heart finally relaxed. As long as he was willing to take action, Bathrilor's life should be saved …
"Felic, are you okay?" At this moment, Kevin finally squeezed his way through the crowd, and asked about Lin Li's injuries with concern.
He was really frightened just now. The moment he saw Lin Li being hit by the fire dragons, Kevin was stunned. Lin Li now meant everything to the Guild of Magic. His value had even surpassed Gerian's. If Lin Li had died under those dozens of fire dragons, Kevin really did not know what to do. The Guild of Magic today could not afford such a loss.
"I'm fine." Lin Li shook his head and gestured for Kevin to rest assured.
He was indeed not hurt, but thinking about the process carefully, he could not help but be secretly shocked.
The power of the ruby ring was beyond his expectations. When dozens of fire dragons surged towards him, it was at least equivalent to the power of a level-eight spell. Although Lin Li used an Elemental Shield to reduce most of the damage, there were still one or two fire dragons that broke through the blockade of the Elemental Shield, and directly attacked his body.
However, under the powerful anti-magic attribute of the Robe of Wrath, these two fire dragons did not cause any harm to him. They were instantly annihilated in the anti-magic field upon contact.
Now that he thought of the thrill, Lin Li could not help but secretly rejoice.
Fortunately, the Robe of Wrath had an anti-magic attribute. Otherwise, although the two fire dragons were not fatal, they were very likely to hurt him.
After saying that, Lin Li looked at the gray-robed mage with some doubt. "I am Felic, you are …"
"I'm Andoine's old friend."
"Oh? Do you know Andoine? " After leaving the Sunset Mountains, this was the first time Lin Li had heard news of Andoine. He could not help but take a few more glances at the gray-robed mage. "How is he now? Is he still as stubborn as before?"
"Hehe … More or less. A few days ago, when I was in Alanna, he mentioned you. I thought you were very interesting, so I made a special trip to Jarrosus to take a look." The gray-robed mage smiled amiably, and there was an obvious hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Lin Li.
"You're too kind." Lin Li's expression was modest and respectful, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at Bathrilor. While using a bit of mental strength to suppress him, he was also quietly calculating the time it would take for his hands to bleed …
"…" How could such a small trick fool the gray-robed mage? For a moment, the old man could not help but feel angry and amused at the same time. However, with his status, he naturally could not expose it in front of Lin Li. He only reminded Lin Li awkwardly, "This … Felic, can you let Bathrilor go first? If he continues to bleed like this, I'm afraid his life will be in danger … "
"You know Bathrilor?" Lin Li did not feel embarrassed at all when his trick was exposed. He pretended to be surprised, and asked, "So, you were the one who released that layer of mana?"
"This …" Hearing this, the gray-robed mage seemed to feel as if he had been bitten in the back, but since Lin Li had already asked, he could only open his mouth to mediate. "I saw what happened just now. It was indeed Bathrilor's fault, but I was unlucky to know his grandfather. In order not to let that old fellow say that I did not save him, I had to help him a little just now. Besides, you've already taught him a lesson just now. Can you give me some face and let this matter go …"
"Oh … So that's what happened." Lin Li agreed very simply, and withdrew that trace of mental strength without hesitation. "It's just a small matter. As you said, I'll let this matter go."
"Then … I'll thank you on behalf of that kid Bathrilor first." The gray-robed mage probably did not expect Lin Li to agree so readily. After thinking about it, he probably felt a little sorry for Lin Li, so he promised apologetically, "But don't worry, I'll make that old fellow of his give you an explanation for today's matter."
"Don't bother too much, it's just a small matter. I won't lower myself to his level."
Lin Li smiled with an easygoing face, but he had secretly condensed a Wind Blade.
The gray-robed mage had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt a surge of magical wave. Before he could react, there was a tearing sound in the air.
Bathrilor had just gotten rid of the mental suppression when he suddenly felt a numbness in his hand.
Then, a heart-wrenching pain came from his left hand. He looked down and saw that another ring finger had fallen on the thick carpet. In addition to the damage left by the previous icicle, Bathrilor's left hand was also badly mutilated. The tearing pain came one after another, and Bathrilor fainted on the spot …
"Sigh …" The gray-robed mage had no time to make a move. He just sighed softly and looked at Lin Li somewhat helplessly. "Why bother?"
"I can't tolerate him sneaking up on me from behind, but you're Andoine's friend, and I don't want to see you put in a difficult position." Lin Li was still smiling as if nothing had happened just now. "So, this is the best way."
"Andoine is right. You're really a wolf. If anyone provokes you, you'll definitely bite them back …" The mage in gray robe shook his head. His expression was one of amusement and helplessness. "Forget it. Since I've already lost a finger, I'll just have to break another one to balance things out …"
"You flatter me." Lin Li smiled modestly, but his eyes were fixed on the gray-robed mage. "Now, can you tell me what other identity you have besides being Andoine's old friend?"
"I'm Grimm Burnside."
