Hearing that a legendary mage had come to visit, Gerian immediately went out to greet him with excitement. But halfway there, he suddenly had some doubts. "Grimm Burnside has never been on good terms with the Guild of Magic. Why would he suddenly come?"
The mage who came to deliver the message swallowed his saliva and spoke with some difficulty. "He said … he said he's here to see Mage Felic."
"…" Gerian looked at Lin Li with jealousy. "How do you know Grimm Burnside?"
"He went to the banquet at the Castellan's Mansion a few days ago."
"F * ck! You're too lucky, kid. There are only two legendary mages in Jarrosus, and you know both of them … "
Gerian muttered as he walked out of the Emerald Tower. He saw Grimm Burnside in a gray mage robe standing at the bottom of the steps. The old fellow quickly put on a warm smile. "Welcome, welcome. Mage Grimm has come to the Emerald Tower. The entire Jarrosus Guild of Magic is deeply honored."
"You're too polite, President Gerian." Old Grimm still had a gentle smile on his face, and smiled at Lin Li. "Long time no see, Mage Felic."
The three of them exchanged greetings at the bottom of the steps, and Gerian welcomed Old Grimm into the guild hall. For the Guild of Magic, Grimm Burnside's visit was a truly sensational event. Even Gerian, who had always been arrogant, did not dare to slight him this time. The high standard of reception was enough to make all the leaders of the forces in Jarrosus jealous.
In order to welcome Grimm Burnside, Gerian gathered all the mages in the guild, even those stationed far away in the Demon Fall Valley. They all sent back a welcome speech through the crystal ball in the hall. The scene was sensational and warm. Even Grimm Burnside, who had lived for more than a hundred years and had long been indifferent to everything, could not help but have a better impression of Gerian.
Looking at Gerian's bright smile, Lin Li could not help but worry for the leaders of the forces in Jarrosus. Gerian deliberately made the scene so sensational because he wanted today's news to spread as far as possible. When the leaders of the 17 forces knew that a legendary mage had come to visit, who knew how frightened they would be …
After the sensational welcome ceremony, Old Grimm and Lin Li entered the potion room to continue the unfinished discussion at the banquet.
This time, Gerian, who had always liked to join in on the fun, did not follow them in.
He spoke to all the Mages in the guild hall.
The speech took a long time, but the content revolved around one thing — the Merlin Family and the Shadow's Nest were in cahoots!
"You guys have been holed up in the Emerald Tower all day. From today onwards, everyone has to walk around Jarrosus City. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, as long as it makes the Merlin Family uncomfortable, I'll support it all. If anyone has the ability to kill that bastard Matthew, I'll reward him with a year's worth of income from the Demon Fall Valley!" These were Gerian's original words.
The Guild of Magic had endured for as long as Gerian had been the President. Which of the mages present had not experienced the days of being looked down upon? Each of the 17 forces in Jarrosus City dared to point fingers at the Guild of Magic, and among them, the Merlin Family had repeatedly made demands on the guild. In the end, it had even developed to the point where even a person like Cromwell dared to come knocking and ask Gerian to kick Lin Li out of the guild.
No matter how wise or calm a mage was, they would inevitably accumulate some anger in the face of such reality.
After so many years of enduring, the anger in their hearts had long been enough to ignite the entire Emerald Tower. And with the rise of the Guild of Magic, the anger in their hearts had also accumulated. When the Shadow's Nest launched a sneak attack on the Demon Fall Valley, this anger was completely pushed to the peak. The Guild of Magic had been quiet these two days, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
And now, Gerian's words had completely ignited the Guild of Magic.
In addition to the people stationed in the Demon Fall Valley, there were a total of 36 Magic Shooters, 113 mages, and countless apprentices below level-five in the Emerald Tower. In just one afternoon, nearly half of them had been chased out by Gerian.
Such a force poured into Jarrosus City, and in an instant, it caused a terrible chaos.
In just one afternoon, the Merlin Family's business in Jarrosus City had suffered a huge loss.
First, a few properties in the prime areas of the city inexplicably burst into flames, followed by a few mysterious mages in a few casinos jointly operated with the Blood Brotherhood. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that these mages were simply here to cause trouble because they were too arrogant.
"Who is in charge of this casino?" As soon as the few mages entered the door, they asked the person in charge of the casino to come out to see them. The people from the Blood Brotherhood popped their heads out to take a look. F * ck, it's actually the people from the Guild of Magic. Who would dare to provoke them in Jarrosus City now? So they ran away from the back door on the spot, leaving only a few people from the Merlin Family who had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward.
"F * ck, when are you going to pay us back the money you owe us?"
"What … What money?"
Just as the people from the Merlin Family hesitated, a few guys who were at least at the level of Magic Shooters fell out. They were worse than beasts; they did not give them a chance to admit their mistakes at all. They smashed the casino with magic, lit the fire, and went out to look for the next one …
The most wicked among them was undoubtedly a group of more than a dozen mages.
This group of guys wandered around the city but could not find a place to start, so they simply left Jarrosus City and went straight to the Mariana Canal. When they saw the Merlin Family's merchant ship in the middle of the canal, their eyes lit up like hungry beasts seeing their prey.
Each of them gulped down a bottle of Sobriety Potion on the spot, and the low chanting of spells mixed together.
Before the people on the merchant ship could react, they saw a monstrous fire rising into the sky. More than a dozen mages had joined forces to cast the level-eight spell, Flaming Storm. In the eyes of the Merlin Family, it was like the end of the world. Countless fire dragons roared, and the blazing flames engulfed a huge merchant ship in just a moment.
The people on the ship could be considered lucky, as they barely managed to escape by relying on a few small dinghies. However, the cargo on the merchant ship, which was worth millions of gold coins, was completely burned by the fire …
