“We'll rest this afternoon . ”
They returned to the Guild of Magic in a row of four . After that announcement, Macklin went to look for Aldwin straight away .
Frankly, he was delighted with the performance of these three in the afternoon . Except for the slightly stupid Mason, the other two were definitely rarely found geniuses, especially that brat Felic . That mana retroaction could only be described as breathtaking . Macklin had never seen someone attain such proficiency at this age .
He had to consult Aldwin…
Once Macklin left, Orrin went into the meditation room alone, while Mason proposed to shop in Alanna .
Lin Li glanced at the sky, and thought of his appointment with the toothless adventurer . Hence, he had no choice but to reject Mason's invitation .
Initially, he wanted to ask Sean to come along as he decided to take this opportunity to buy some clothes for Sean . However, after searching for him in the guild, Sean could not be found . In the end, Lin Li had no choice but to leave the Guild of Magic, and walked along the prosperous streets towards the Adventurers Guild .
Compared to the remote Jarrosus, Alanna felt like another world .
Even the people visiting the Adventurers Guild were very different from those in Jarrosus .
In the Jarrosus Adventurers Guild, a level-6 warrior like McGrenn was considered to be pretty good .
After walking into Alanna's Adventurers Guild, Lin Li kept seeing multiple adventurers that were close to level-10 . Even one of the thieves was already at level-12!
After all, it was in the afternoon, and it was the time when the Adventurers Guild is the emptiest .
At this time, the missions had just been updated, and most of the people were busy killing magical beasts . Except for those who were unlucky enough not to have a task, nobody would be so free to waste their time in the guild hall .
If he could see a level-12 thief at this time, would it not be possible to see a level-15 and above adventurer should he come at the time when the missions were updated?
After circumventing the guild hall once, he did not see the toothless warrior called Hank .
Lin Li felt uncertain . From what he had been saying, this guy wanted to pull him into Silver Hand . With such an excellent opportunity today, how could he not appear? Could he have been delayed by some issues?
As it was still early, Lin Li was not anxious .
He casually found a seat and waited patiently .
Who knew that this wait would last for almost two hours .
While waiting till the afternoon, Lin Li finally saw him hurriedly walk into the guild hall .
“Mr . Felic!” Hank saw Lin Li from a distance after just entering the hall .
Lin Li was about to reply, but he suddenly felt something was not right . This guy seemed to be injured—his right hand was covered in bandages, its surface slightly immersed in a circle of bright red .
“Are you injured?”
“Small wound, it will not get in the way…” Hank laughed, and did not bother about the injury on his hand . He only looked around anxiously, and then carefully asked, “Oh, yes, Mr . Felic, where is your warrior companion?”
“Warrior companion?” Lin Li was stupefied for a moment, and then he realized Hank should be referring to Sean . “Oh… he had something else to do, and did not come with me . ”
“Oh…” Hank nodded, and did not ask more about Sean .
After exchanging a few more greetings, Hank stood up and said his goodbyes . “I am really sorry Mr . Felic, I wanted to come over really early . However, I did not expect to run into some trouble along the way . Now, I have to report to the garrison immediately . I fear there is no time to bring you over…”
Lin Li laughed off the matter . “It's nothing much, official matters are more important . ”
“We'll meet again, Mr . Felic . ”
“See you again . ”
Lin Li was not too concerned about his return to the Silver Hand's garrison, since he had three months of time . After all, if he really wanted to go, it would be the same without Hank's introduction . He was a level-12 magic shooter, so he would be treated as a distinguished guest at any mercenary corp . There was no way anybody would dare to reject him .
After seeing off Hank from the guild hall, Lin Li stood up as well, and shook off the dust from the Robe of Wrath . He then decided to go back to the Guild of Magic in Alanna to ponder some things .
“Mr . Felic…” Just when he reached the main entrance of the guild hall, he saw that Hank had returned . He saw that Hank was sitting at the bottom of the stairs with a face full of hesitation . “Mr . Felic, do you… do you know Ina?”
“What happened to Ina?” Lin Li's heart tightened immediately .
“Squad Leader Ina… she met with an accident!”
“What?”
Hank had lowered his voice, and saw that the mage's complexion changed . A sudden influx of pressure was being emitted . This energy was so intense that anybody would feel breathless at that moment . Next, he saw that the formerly kind mage had an abnormally fierce look on him .
“Tell me what exactly happened!”
One was a level-12 magic shooter, and the other a warrior apprentice . Under Lin Li's coercion, Hank had no room to struggle . He swallowed hard, and said everything exactly as it had happened .
The cause of the incident was a batch of magical crystals .
Today in the morning, when Hank walked past the Thousand Leaves Bar, he coincidentally met a few friends from Silver Hand . One of them was the newcomer, Squad Leader Ina . She had just led her men to the completion of a mission, and was celebrating at the Thousand Leaves Bar . After she recognized Hank, she warm-heartedly invited him for a drink .
Hank noticed that it was still early, so he did not reject the offer, joining them in their celebration .
However, halfway through drinking, a mishap took place .
A group of Ruby Moon Mercenary Corps suddenly barged in . The leader was a level-9 warrior by the name of Marko . They rushed into the Thousand Leaves Bar, and loudly demanded that Ina and gang hand over a batch of magical crystals . Otherwise, they would capture all of them, and let the captain of the Ruby Moon Mercenary Corps deal with them .
Apparently, Ina and the gang did not allow it to happen . Both sides had a dispute, which quickly ended in a fight .
The opposition had a large group, and even had a level-9 warrior helping them . Silver Hand only had seven or eight people, and their best fighter was Ina . Both forces were not on equal footing . Once the fight started, several people from Silver Hand were already injured—including Hank .
He'd realized the situation was not right, and escaped amidst the mess .
Hank originally wanted to return to the Silver Hand encampment to ask for help . However, he remembered that he had to meet a mage while going past the Adventurers Guild's entrance .
He was not sure of the mage's strength, but the monstrous warrior that was with the mage left a profound impact in his memory . The other night, at the Blackhills Town's Sylvan Inn, he'd clearly seen that the monstrous warrior killed tens of robbers without breaking a sweat, and one of them was even a level-8 warrior .
Moreover, Hank vaguely remembered that the mage called Felic seemed to have a connection with Squad Leader Ina . If they were to lend a helping hand, the chances of saving people might increase significantly .
Up till this moment, Lin Li finally understood why this guy hurriedly asked about Sean once he'd entered the guild hall . It appeared that he was harboring this idea…
For a moment, Lin Li rejoiced a little . Thankfully, this guy returned again . Otherwise, he would have been clueless about what had happened to Ina .
“Bring me there . ”
“Should we ask the warrior along…?” Hank still had some doubts; after all, he'd only seen the warrior's ability in Blackhills Town . He did not know that this mage was, in fact, a fiend far stronger than that monster .
“Now!”
Lin Li really wanted to kick this guy . The distance between both guilds was at least one hour of walk . A return journey would waste a lot of time, and Sean would still have to be found . By that time, it would already be too late . What bird crap would be there to rescue?
Upon seeing Lin Li's rage, Hank did not dare speak another word . He only nodded, and hurriedly brought Lin Li towards the Thousand Leaves Bar .
Thousand Leaves Bar was not far from the Adventurers Guild . Furthermore, Lin Li was in a rush to rescue people . He used two Hastening Spells simultaneously, one for Hank, and one for himself . Under the effects of the hastening spell, both were moving like the wind . It only took them two to three minutes to reach the outside of the Thousand Leaves Bar .
“Marko, what is it that you want?”
Immediately after reaching the vicinity of the bar, Lin Li heard a familiar voice from the inside . It really was Ina .
Being anxious, Lin Li kicked the door of the bar open, and saw that twenty or more adventurers were tying up the group of Silver Hand members .
Within that group of Silver Hand members, there was a familiar silhouette holding a sword in her hands .
“Ina!”
“Fel… Mr . Felic?” At this instance, Ina felt that she was dreaming . She could not imagine that she would be able to meet this young mage in the faraway Alanna . Lin Li's appearance invoked countless memories within Ina . She remembered the sunset mountains, the wyverns, Cromwell, as well as her father that was facing off a group of magic shooters .
“Mr . Felic… Father… Father, he…” Previously, she was a strong-willed sword-wielding girl fighting off enemies . Now, she started sobbing .
