"Hahaha … I guess those fools would never dream that Jarrosus would actually send a level-12 Magic Shooter!" Gerian laughed arrogantly. "I'd like to see who can snatch the first place this time!"
"Are you sure there are no Magic Shooters under the age of 25 in other guilds?"
"Do you think everyone is a freak like you? F * ck, you're only 20 years old, and you dare to break through to the realm of a Magic Shooter. Why doesn't God strike you to death, you demon … "Gerian grumbled indignantly, but his expression changed again, revealing a smile of success. At this moment, the President looked like a fat fox that had just stolen a chicken." Besides, it's clearly written in the official letter that this learning opportunity is only for mages above level-7. Did you see that … Only for mages above level-7. Magic Shooters? Be a good boy and play by yourself at home! Otherwise, why do you think I'd let you cheat? "
"…" Lin Li really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old fellow is making excuses for cheating. "Do well and get the first place in the trial. I'd like to see who dares to look down on Jarrosus Guild of Magic in the future!" Gerian had always been brooding over the guild's low ebb in the past 20 years. Now that he finally had a chance to hold his head up high, his fat face was full of excitement.
After more than a month in the Emerald Tower, Lin Li could clearly see how much effort this seemingly arrogant old fellow had put in for the Guild of Magic. To be honest, Lin Li was very willing to do something for him. It was probably because of his character that Lin Li wasn't used to saying things too confidently. He just nodded. "I'll try my best …"
"Mm."
Lin Li's "try your best" immediately made Gerian feel at ease. He knew this kid's character too well. He didn't make promises easily, but as long as he promised something, he would never go wrong. From the Arcane Magic Potion at the beginning, to the Sobriety Potion later, and then to the Daylight Square, where a level-12 Magic Shooter beat the level-14 Cromwell into a cripple.
"Prepare well these few days. We'll set off for Alanna in three days."
…
In the next two days, Lin Li was extremely busy.
After deciding on his itinerary in Alanna, he suddenly realized that he still had a lot of things to do.
The 40 bottles of highly concentrated Wild Potion seemed to have calmed down the Shadow's Nest. At least for the past few days, there had been no movement at the Demon Fall Valley. However, no one in the Guild of Magic dared to let their guard down. Both parties had been rivals for many years. No one knew the Shadow's Nest better than the Guild of Magic. The speed of expansion of this force was like a plague. No one knew when they would suddenly attack.
In order to be more at ease, Lin Li had been cooped up in the pharmaceutical lab for the past two days.
In a white mist filled with a strong medicinal smell, he concocted all kinds of low-level potions. Most of them were Recovery Potions and Mana Potions. These two low-level potions had the most extensive uses. One was used to treat minor injuries, and the other was used to restore mana. In an intense battle, these two small potions could save many people's lives.
In addition, he concocted almost 10 bottles of Awakening Potion in one go. These were specially prepared for Gerian. The old fellow was in the Archmage realm. Drinking Mana Potions was no longer of any use. The consumption of a level-15 spell might need two bottles of Mana Potions to recover …
As for the other miscellaneous potions, such as Sobriety Potions, Detoxification Potions, and Wisdom Potions … Lin Li had no idea how many of them he had concocted. Anyway, Lin Li did not even step out of the pharmaceutical lab for the past two days. When he was tired, he would sleep for a while, and when he woke up, he would continue.
Probably only a pharmaceutics guru could do such a thing.
Apart from a monster like Lin Li, any other pharmaceutics guru would have died of exhaustion. The difference between a guru and a master seemed to be only a thin line, but it was actually longer than eternity.
It was not until the morning of the third day that Lin Li dragged his tired body out of the pharmaceutical lab in a daze.
Just as he pushed open the door of the pharmaceutical lab, he saw Gerian guarding outside.
Gerian was leaning against the wall and almost asleep, probably because he had waited for too long. His chubby face was a little tired, and he yawned one after another. But when he heard the sound of Lin Li pushing the door open, he opened his eyes immediately.
This time, Gerian did not look into the pharmaceutical lab, but asked with concern, "What took you so long this time?"
The old fellow's concerned gaze warmed Lin Li's heart. He smiled weakly. "I'll be gone for three months this time. I want to leave more things for the guild."
"Damn it, you've been gone for more than two days. Do you want to die? If this goes on, how can your body take it?"
Gerian nagged, but Lin Li felt unusually warm when he heard it. "Go in and have a look. I've prepared ten bottles of Awakening Potion for you, and ten bottles of Iron Shield Potion. If you use them sparingly, they should be able to last for three months. As for the rest, get someone to bring them to the Demon Fall Valley and hand them over to Kevin …"
"Yes, yes …" Gerian nodded in agreement as he urged Lin Li to rest quickly.
"Then I'll go take a nap first."
Lin Li was really exhausted. In less than three days, he had concocted almost 300 bottles of potion. Even a pharmaceutics guru who stood at the peak of his profession had reached the point of mental and physical exhaustion.
He walked into the guild hall in a daze. Just as he was about to return to his bedroom to sleep, he heard a surprised voice coming from the steps of the Emerald Tower.
"Mage Felic!"
Lin Li turned around in bewilderment, only to see Sean's tanned face.
In addition to Sean, his father, who had just recovered from his serious injuries, had also come. The middle-aged man had just recovered from his injuries, and he still looked a little weak. He had the same dark face, but it was less rosy than Sean's. The honest young man was carefully supporting him. The two of them stood on the steps and kept looking into the guild hall.
"Mr Poliro, why are you here? Didn't I tell you that the toxins in your body have just been cleared, and your body is still very weak? You should stay in bed for a few days to recuperate, and not walk around casually. Why are you … "Lin Li hurried over and carefully helped the middle-aged man into the guild hall. Then, he found a chair for him to sit down.
"Sean, what's the matter with you?" After doing all this, Lin Li turned back to stare at the honest young man with a stern expression. "Your father has just recovered from his injuries. Why don't you let him stay in bed to recuperate?"
"I'm sorry … Mage Felic …" Sean looked aggrieved. He opened his mouth to explain, but when the words came to his mouth, they became an apology.
"Mage Felic, don't blame him. I came on my own …" The middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was weak and slow. "I came this time to ask you for a favor …"
"Please speak."
"Sean, this child, has been sensible since he was young. He has been running around with me for so many years, but he has never had a good day. As a father, I have no ability to find a promising career for my son, so I want to beg you. Can you consider letting Sean be your attendant?" The middle-aged man looked at his son with eyes full of warmth and love.
This gaze reminded Lin Li of his own father, and also of McGrenn, who was already dead.
To be honest, he was very hesitant.
In this world of swords and magic, many mages had their own attendants. For example, Old Grimm, who had come to the Guild of Magic before, had a legendary-level warrior as his attendant. This was not only a subordinate relationship, but also a responsibility in many cases.
Lin Li was not a person who liked to take responsibility, so when Sean made this request that day, Lin Li did not agree immediately, but let him go home to discuss it with his father.
In Lin Li's opinion, this was just Sean's own idea, and the middle-aged man might not necessarily agree.
But in the end …
Not only did the middle-aged man agree to Sean's idea, but he even dragged his sick body to the Guild of Magic to persuade him.
Faced with a father who wanted his son to succeed, Lin Li really could not bear to refuse.
The expectant expression on the middle-aged man's face always reminded Lin Li of his father. He remembered that when he had just graduated, his father had been running around trying to pull strings for his job, and carefully putting in good words for people. The expression on his face was exactly the same as the middle-aged man's …
"Please, Mage Felic."
"Let me think about it …"
"Sean, how about this …" Under the expectant gazes of the two, Lin Li hesitated for a while before opening his mouth to ask the honest young man, "I don't need an attendant for the time being, but I do need your help with one thing, so I plan to hire you for three months first. As for the remuneration … 5,000 gold coins a month, what do you think?"
"5,000 gold coins!" The middle-aged man was taken aback, and hurriedly declined. "That won't do, Mage Felic, definitely not. 5,000 gold coins is too much. You saved my life. If you need any help, just let Sean do it. How can I let you spend so much money?"
