In the eyes of the chubby owner, the Ashen Warlock and his two old servants were just ordinary old men from the countryside. In fact, he even expressed some sympathy for the Ashen Warlock who had no children to take care of at such an old age.
Lin Li wasn't disappointed, but he was no longer interested in listening. Hence, he got ready to send the chubby owner away so that he could continue reading. However, at this moment, there was a commotion outside the small inn again, and it was much louder than before. The chubby owner immediately blushed. After all, it was his inn, and he naturally felt embarrassed for disturbing his customers.
The chubby owner smiled awkwardly at Lin Li, and hurriedly walked to the window in a bid to reprimand the people outside. However, when he looked out of the window, he was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth and took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground. He turned his head to look at Lin Li, who was sitting there, and the fat on his face was trembling. He stammered, "Guest … Guest, that … that person just now is here again, and he brought a lot of people with him!"
In fact, Lin Li had long heard the cursing outside without the chubby owner saying anything, and was also clear about how many people there were. He had long expected such a thing to happen. How could a person who hit someone just because the other party didn't use honorifics be able to tolerate it after suffering a loss?
Outside the small inn, Charles, who had just left, was now standing arrogantly in front of the door of the inn. There were still the same two attendants on his left and right, but there was a large group of mages dressed in uniforms behind him. The mages were lined up neatly, and it was obvious that they were a well-trained team. All of them were looking ahead expressionlessly with their staffs raised to their chests, ready to cast magic spells at any time.
"People of the Tower of Dusk, come out, I know you're hiding inside. Weren't you arrogant just now? How dare you attack me? Why are you acting like cowards now!? If I don't teach you a memorable lesson today, you'll really think that the Breezy Plains can't contain you! " With the mages of his family behind him, Charles was much bolder, and he was confident that the mages of his family would be able to protect him even if the Legendary Vampire were to appear.
"Young Master, don't tell me they're planning to escape after hearing us," the attendant said to Charles with a fawning expression while bowing.
"Yeah, if they run away, who am I going to settle the score with?" Charles said with a look of realization. He pointed at the mages on both sides with his staff, and said, "You guys, surround this small inn. Don't let a fly out. Damn it, how dare the small Tower of Dusk be so rude to me. I'm going to make them regret coming into this world. "
It was noisy outside, but it wasn't quiet inside either. The fat shop owner didn't expect that he would cause such a huge commotion just because he didn't use the so-called honorifics when speaking. Actually, up until now, he still hadn't figured out exactly where he'd said the wrong thing, and what exactly was the honorific the other party spoke of? However, no matter what, it was all because of him. Looking at the aggressive looks of the group of people downstairs, the fat shop owner was so scared that he paced around in the house, muttering to himself what to do.
Lin of, of of Lin Li of Li Lin of Li of brothers, of Li of the and. He of Lin of Dong of Of Of Li. These people who thought of themselves as nobles would come to Gran Town once every three years, and they would stay at the inn for a few days every time they came. Why did someone blame the chubby owner for not greeting them respectfully this time?
"How would I know? It's my first time seeing that person. I've always greeted those old men the same way. Who knew he would be so troublesome? Sir, why don't you guys hide? After all, there are so many of them. " The chubby owner advised Lin Li and the rest to hide, but his expression showed that he didn't mean what he said. He was afraid that the customer in front of him would run away without him.
Lin Li shook his head slightly, and walked to the window. He pushed it open and looked out. "They're just a bunch of Archmages. They're far from being able to scare me."
"What, what Archmages …" The chubby owner hadn't left the town much, so he wasn't familiar with mages or Magic Shooters. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Lin Li wasn't planning to run away. But, on second thought, he realized that if they were to fight in the inn, things would definitely be damaged. It seemed like he would still be in trouble.
At the thought of this, the chubby owner's face turned bitter again. He used his thick fingers to calculate the gains and losses of this business deal. Although that handful of gold coins was not a small amount, and was enough to build a few more inns like this, wouldn't he earn more if he didn't suffer any losses? Two windows and a door had been damaged just now. If the people outside were to rush in and fight, the tables, chairs, and floor …
"Scram!" Lin Li stood in front of the window and shouted. His voice wasn't very loud, but it was as if he was talking face to face, or even lower.
The chubby owner who was calculating the gains and losses was shocked. He thought that Lin Li was talking to him, and quickly put his hands behind his back. But, when he looked up at the customer, he saw that the customer was looking out of the window. At this moment, there was a scream coming from outside the window.
To an ordinary person like the chubby owner, Lin Li's low voice didn't sound strange at all. However, for the mages outside, it was as if their souls were exposed to a thunderstorm vortex, and the irresistible force was tearing their souls apart. They didn't even hear Lin Li's voice, but there was an incomparable pain coming from the depths of their souls. Everyone, including Charles, couldn't help but cry out in pain. They immediately hugged their heads and knelt on the ground.
Actually, it was just a very simple magic spell, Roar of the Soul. Mages who learned mental magic would probably be able to learn this magic spell when they were at level-five or level-six. The effect of this magic spell was rather weak in the eyes of many mages. At most, it would make the opponent lose focus for a moment, and the success rate was rather low.
However, the Roar of the Soul had a special characteristic. There was no upper limit in the requirement of mental strength. In other words, the stronger the user's mental strength, the more powerful the magic would be. At this moment, if other Legendary-mages were to cast the Roar of the Soul, they would probably be stunned for a moment, but they might not be able to cause any substantial damage. However, Lin Li was already at the peak of level-24, and his mental strength had long reached the Sanctuary-realm. Actually, he was already being merciful by not making the souls of those mages dissipate after casting the Roar of the Soul.
The group of menacing mages, who had been clamoring about demolishing the inn just now, were now hugging their heads and screaming on the ground. Such a scene gave the chubby shop owner quite a fright, and he looked at Lin Li as if he had seen a ghost. He secretly rejoiced that this young customer did not mind the honorifics and the like. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take a scolding, let alone a beating.
"Okay, it's alright now. Go ahead and get busy." Lin Li turned around with a smile on his face, as if he had just done something trivial.
"Ah, then, I'll go down first. If you need anything, feel free to call me at any time." The chubby owner left Lin Li's room as if he had been pardoned. Oh my god, what kind of people have been staying at my inn all these years? Are they all so terrifying!? I only said a word, and so many people seem to be dying. That's just too terrifying! It seems that I'd better find a chance to transfer this inn to someone else. Although this business is profitable, it's too dangerous.
After the chubby owner left, Lin Li still stood in front of the window, but he did not look at the people on the ground outside. Instead, he looked at the distance of the town.
Soon, a figure flew over from outside the town, and landed in the middle of the mages outside the inn. It was a middle-aged mage. Although he had restrained the mana waves on his body, he still exuded the powerful aura of a Legendary-mage.
The Legendary-mage who had just arrived glanced at the people who were still moaning on the ground, and couldn't help but frown. He looked up at the window where Lin Li was, and said in a deep voice, "You're President Felic of the Tower of Dusk. They all say that the President of the Tower of Dusk is ruthless, and it seems that it's true. Don't you think you've gone overboard?"
"I've already shown mercy to the provocateurs," Lin Li said nonchalantly.
"You've shown mercy?" The middle-aged mage seemed to be suppressing his anger as he pointed at the mages on the ground and glared at Lin Li, who was standing in front of the window. "Is this what you mean by showing mercy? Their mental strength has already been permanently damaged, and you're showing mercy to them because you've cut off all their hopes of making progress in magic! "
"Hah, isn't that the case when compared to their lives?" Of course, Lin Li knew how serious it was for mages, but since it was a punishment, it wouldn't be painful at all. Besides, he could tell from the arrogance of those people just now that they were hostile towards the Tower of Dusk. They didn't kill them because they were in the territory of the Ashen Warlock.
"Good, good, you're indeed the President of the Tower of Dusk. However, don't forget who the owner of this place is. I believe he'll give the Mithril Alliance justice." Although the middle-aged mage was furious, he did not attack recklessly. Part of the reason was because of the Ashen Warlock, but more of it was because he could tell that Lin Li's strength was probably not something that he could fight alone.
The Mithril Alliance was originally composed of 13 major families, but at the end of the Dark Age, the battle with the Blood Moon Clan and some other unknown factors led to the destruction of the seven major families. Soon afterwards, the founder of the Mithril Alliance, the Caesar Family, withdrew from the alliance, leaving only the five major families to support the alliance.
