"Master Aldwin, long time no see. How are you?" Lin Li greeted with a smile.
"What do you mean well? There was no news of you ever since you went to the Breezy Plains. If I hadn't asked Macklin to look for you, I'm afraid you would have forgotten what you promised us!" The white-haired Aldwin did not seem to be complaining at all. However, after taking a closer look at Lin Li, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Felic, you didn't bring any precious magical equipment with you, did you?"
Precious magical equipment? There were plenty of those in the Ring of Endless Storm, but Lin Li also knew why Aldwin asked that. After all, it hadn't been long since he left the Alanna Guild of Magic. It was indeed not easy to accept that a level-16 or level-17 Archmage had become a Legendary-mage in the blink of an eye.
"What magical equipment? The mana waves on this rascal's body did not come from magical equipment. Those rumors were not exaggerated, and they even underestimated this kid, "Macklin said angrily after finding a chair to sit down on.
"Oh, it's indeed unbelievable." Aldwin shook his head slightly and looked at the young mage in front of him with admiration. "Mage Felic, you're now the president of a guild, and you've even stepped into the Legendary-realm. It seems that we're really old. Please take a seat."
"Master Aldwin, you don't have to be so polite. No matter what achievements I have now, I can't do without the help of the elders back then. You can just address me as you used to," Lin Li hurriedly said. Although his current status and strength were enough to be on an equal footing with Aldwin, he was still not used to being so polite to an old man. Although he was joking with Macklin and being impolite to Gerian and Andoine, he still respected the elders very much.
Aldwin nodded. Lin Li did not become arrogant because of his status and strength, which was very rare among young people nowadays. As the President of the Guild of Magic, he had seen countless so-called geniuses over the years, and all of them were arrogant and condescending. Although Lin Li had gotten into a lot of trouble when he was training there, Aldwin was definitely aware of the cause of those things.
"Yeah, Mr. President, you don't have to stand on ceremony with this brat. Hurry up and arrange the bet with Al 'Akir. Let's see how that old thing can still be so smug this time," Macklin urged heartlessly.
Aldwin glared at Macklin, and turned to Lin Li. "Felic, I'll get someone to arrange a place for you to rest first. If you want to practice forging, feel free to let Macklin know if you need anything. As for the bet with the Adventurer's Guild, I've been waiting for so long anyway, so I'm not in a hurry. "
Aldwin had already heard of Lin Li's accomplishments in pharmaceutics, which were highly praised by even the President of the Pharmacists Guild. However, a person's energy was limited, after all, and it was not easy to master everything. Lin Li was already a Legendary-mage in magic, and he was at least a Master-level in pharmaceutics. It was hard to believe that he was also a Master-level in forging.
"What are you waiting for? Felic is very confident, isn't he?" Macklin was a little dissatisfied with Aldwin's arrangements. During this period of time, the Alanna Guild of Magic was not only ridiculed by the Adventurers Guild, but also by the various forces who were making fun of the Alanna Guild of Magic openly and secretly.
"Uh …" Aldwin blushed slightly. Fundamentally, this matter was caused by his lack of consideration. Fortunately, there was a variable like Felic. Otherwise, he would have really become a sinner of the Guild of Magic. However, he did not immediately make arrangements according to Macklin's instructions. Instead, he explained to Lin Li, "Felic, it's not that I don't trust your abilities, but before we complete the bet, we have to wait for a few more people to arrive. After all, according to the original agreement, the time limit of the bet has actually passed."
Lin Li rubbed his nose. This really had something to do with him. When he arrived in the Breezy Plains, there was only half a year left before the bet was due. In the end, he built the Tower of Dusk, explored the Scar of Death, was sent to the Throne of Darkness, went to the Dragon Mountains to encircle the remnants of Xiaya, went deep into the Haiga Mountain Range, explored the Sky Castle, and was finally trapped in the chaos of time and space for half a year. The time limit of half a year agreed upon in the bet had long ended, and according to the bet, the Sword Sage of the Storm, Al 'Akir had actually become the winner.
However, it seemed that Aldwin could still ask the Sword Sage of the Storm to continue the bet after waiting for a few more people to arrive. Lin Li could imagine that Aldwin was prepared to use his strength to suppress him. However, the Sword Sage of the Storm was not a pushover. Everyone had a few good friends, and Aldwin wanted to find someone to force the Sword Sage of the Storm to give in.
Although Macklin was dissatisfied, he knew that Aldwin's considerations were not wrong. Hence, he had no choice but to take Lin Li to arrange a place to stay.
Lin Li did not bring the two Undead servants to the Guild of Magic, and instead let them rest in an inn in Alanna City. With Ujfalusi and Norfeller's current strength, it was actually difficult for ordinary people to tell that they were Undead creatures. Besides, they were not in the Ledin Kingdom, after all. Even if someone recognized them as Undead creatures, they would definitely not dare to do anything to them.
Macklin left after arranging a place for Lin Li to stay. Lin Li then walked out of the Guild of Magic, and took the two Undead servants on a casual tour around Alanna City.
"Sir, you really have good taste. You've taken a liking to my Thunder Eaglets. Come over and take a look, I'm selling real Thunder Eaglets. I'll give them to you for free if you buy them for 1,000 gold coins each … "
Lin Li suddenly heard a familiar peddler, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. It's been more than a year, and that fella has yet to be beaten to death by someone who has fallen for it. However, thinking about it, that fella had already sold countless Thunder Eaglets before Lin Li came to Alanna. Wasn't he still living well? His fat must have played a part in that.
"Forget about the Thunder Eaglets. I want the Dragon Eaglets and the Tricolored Flower. Do you have them?" Lin Li walked to the side of the fat ball-like figure, and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Raising a Thunder Eaglet at such a cheap price …" The fat man's voice stopped abruptly as if his neck was being strangled. His fat body trembled slightly, and he slowly turned his head to the side stiffly. There was an unconcealable fear in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "M-Mr Mage, you … it's been a long time."
"Shaun, I don't think I owe you money when I buy things from you. What's with that expression?" Lin Li joked.
"No, no, no, I'm just too excited to see you." Shaun forced a smile that was uglier than crying. Although he hadn't seen Lin Li for more than a year, he could not forget him at all. Although he had successfully made two deals and earned a lot of money from Lin Li, he would rather not have met Lin Li if possible.
Lin Li was just joking with Shaun because he was interested. After saying a few words to him and telling him to look for him at the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains, Lin Li left with his two Undead servants.
Looking at the backs of Lin Li and the others who were leaving, Shaun shivered violently. He decided to stop doing business, and quickly pack up and hide for a few days. Putting aside the fact that the Breezy Plains was far away, he couldn't wait to hide from Lin Li. How could he go there to look for him?
Strangely enough, Shaun did not suffer any losses in the two deals he had with Lin Li. Instead, he made a huge profit. However, for some reason, Shaun always felt creeped out when facing Lin Li, and he just wanted to hide as far away as possible.
Lin Li took his two Undead servants and walked around Alanna City for a day. Actually, he didn't buy anything, and simply wanted to experience the feeling of leisure. Ever since Lin Li came to Anril, he had been busy learning magic, exploring, and developing the Tower of Dusk. Hence, it was rare for him to have such leisure time.
When the sky gradually turned dark, Lin Li separated from his two Undead servants, and returned to the Alanna Guild of Magic alone. However, as soon as he entered his room, someone sent an invitation to the Pharmacist Guild.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. This morning, Lin Li was about to go out again, but Macklin stopped him in front of the Pharmacist Guild with a displeased expression.
"What's wrong with you, old man? Did someone offend you?" Lin Li asked in bewilderment, wondering if the bet with the Adventurers Guild had fallen through. In that case, he would probably have to think of another way to go to Osric's mausoleum.
"Come with me, you'll know when we get there," Macklin said with some dismay, but his emotions didn't seem to be directed at Lin Li.
When the two of them arrived at Aldwin's office, Macklin did not push the door open immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the door until he heard a response. He then pushed the door open and walked in with Lin Li.
Upon entering the room, Lin Li discovered that apart from Aldwin, there were three other old men in magic robes, and one of them was actually someone he knew. Surprised, Lin Li said, "Hey, why are you here?"
"Rascal, you've become so arrogant, huh? What do you mean why am I here? Can't I come!? Hey, wait a minute, did you eat something indigestible? Where did your mana fluctuations come from?! " Although Andoine was wearing a brand new magic robe and looked decent, he revealed his true nature as soon as he spoke.
"I don't know what I ate, but I've become like this unknowingly. Will there be anything wrong with me!?" Lin Li asked, pretending to be worried.
