Lin Li was surprised, and rushed in the direction which the magical wave came from .
When he arrived, Orrin had already collapsed on the floor . One of his arms was hanging limply, bent at an awkward angle . From the painful look on his face, this arm was most likely broken .
“Felic!” Just when he was about to raise Orrin up, Mason appeared, rushing breathlessly towards them from afar . “I heard that idiot, Orrin, got into trouble?”
“Mm…” Lin Li nodded, and spoke no more .
He pushed his way through the gathered crowd, walking to the pale-faced Orrin's side .
“Are you ok?” Lin Li carefully lifted Orrin, fearing that he might touch the broken arm .
“Nothing much . ” Orrin painstakingly shook his head . A small movement like this could already cause his pale face to be filled with sweat . The pain due to a broken arm was not something anybody could bear, but Orrin proved to be tough . He did not make any sounds even though the pain was causing his face to be as white as a sheet .
After being lifted up, Orrin's eyes continued staring at the crowd .
Lin Li followed his gaze, and saw a young mage with a cynical look .
This man was around twenty years old . He was very fair, but had a piercing laughter which made people uncomfortable . “Heh heh heh… The genius from Rotterdam's guild was only at this level . I thought he was someone very powerful… How's it, Orrin, weren't you very uncomfortable just now?”
“Matthias, stop joking around . There is no genius from Rotterdam's guild, only a piece of trash . If he really was a genius, how could Gryffindor beat him up so badly?” Just as Matthias' voice fell, there was somebody in the crowd picking it back up .
“That's right . He usually acts so powerful, yet he is so useless when he fights . Some sort of genius from Rotterdam's guild, how laughable…”
“Maybe he got crippled by Gryffindor? Hahahaha…”
This mage called Matthias had two other fellas behind him . They had to be from the same group .
The insults from the three of them made Lin Li somewhat pissed off, but he maintained his composure . He helped carry Orrin while calling out to Mason for help .
He had to admit that even though Mason had loose lips, he had a good personality .
This fella would always bump heads with Orrin . No matter the circumstances, they would definitely argue when they met . The relationship between them was the worst .
When he heard that Orrin had an injured arm, he should have gloated at the mishap even if he did not add salt to the wound .
However, Mason did not have any intention of gloating when Lin Li asked him for help . He came over willingly to lift Orrin up .
Even Orrin behaved in an unusual manner this time . Despite that, he had always been an introvert . Even though he was surprised, he only glanced at Mason, and did not say anything .
“Orrin, don't worry . I will take revenge for you . Damn it, these bastards went overboard . They dared to beat you up before I did…” Mason carried Orrin with an indignant look .
“…” Lin Li could not help but shake his head; he did not know what to say at this point .
Both of them helped Orrin out of the crowd together, and carefully placed him down at the side of a flower bed .
Lin Li observed Orrin's broken arm, which seemed to be severely injured . From the remnants of the magical wave left on the surface, this injury should have been caused by an arcane missile .
How fortunate…
These fellas were not brave enough to aim for Orrin's chest . If this Arcane Missile had hit it, he would have been knocking on death's door . For now, it was just a simple broken bone . It would be cured with a bottle of Recovery Potion .
Lin Li dug around his pockets and took out a bottle of Recovery Potion . Without a care for their unusual reactions, he uncapped the bottle and placed it beside Orrin's mouth . “Drink it . ”
After passing the Recovery Potion to Orrin, Lin Li softly asked Mason, “Brother Mason, do you know where that group came from?”
“You mean that pretty boy?”
“Mhm . ”
“They are from Sunrise City's Guild of Magic . I think he's called Matthias . The other two fellas are in one team with him, but I can't seem to remember their names . I heard they finished their trial mission yesterday with rather good results . They should be somewhat strong…”
“Oh…”
When the two of them brought Orrin to the side of the flower bed, the three fellas had followed suit .
“The two of you are in the same team as this trash?” Matthias had complacent look on his face, and scornfully looked at the two of them . He then shouted excitedly, “Wow! So strong . A level-9 mage and a level-7 mage!”
“No wonder you formed a team with Orrin . Trash will always flock together…”
“Who knows, they might be the same as Orrin, a genius from some random guild!”
“Sh*t…” Mason's temper could not tolerate such insults . His hands reached into his pockets, and he took out a thin magic staff .
“Hold up…” Lin Li pulled Mason back, not letting him take any action, as he did not want Mason to suffer a loss . Irregardless of their strength, if these three could hurt Orrin, it also meant that they were not weaklings . Orrin was at the peak of level-11, and even he was injured . If it was the level-9 Mason, would he be able to survive?
“Let me go!” Mason did not care about it . When he turned around, his face was red with anger, and his eyes were about to spew fire .
“Let me handle it . ”
Lin Li's voice carried a commanding tone . Even with Mason's hot temperament, he let go of his magic staff immediately .
“You're Matthias, right?” Lin Li glanced at the young, fair-skinned mage . “May I ask what exactly is between you guys and Orrin?”
“What happened?” Matthias was arrogant; he looked at Lin Li as though he was looking at an ant . “Some people think themselves a genius and act arrogantly . Some of my friends talked him, yet he ignored them, pfft! Nothing to be cocky about . If he really was a genius, why would he be beaten up so badly by Gryffindor? What an idiot…”
“Oh…” Lin Li nodded, and seemingly understood .
It was too obvious .
Sunrise City and Rotterdam were both located at the northern border of Felan . The two neighbouring Guilds of Magic should be in contact with each other . As for this Matthias, he had something against Orrin in the past . Today, they finally met each other in Alanna . If Matthias did not initiate a challenge, it would be unusual .
Knowing Orrin's personality, how could he let it slide? With all the nonsense they spouted and disagreements, it made sense that they started fighting .
Surprisingly, it was Orrin that suffered a loss…
“I, Matthias, am not an unreasonable person . To solve today's issue, Orrin just needs to apologize to me, and I will pretend that nothing happened . Otherwise…”
“Oh?” Lin Li curiously asked . “Otherwise, what would happen?”
“Otherwise, only violence can settle it . Orrin insulted our Sunrise City's Guild of Magic . I have the rights to request a duel from Alanna's Guild President . ”
“A duel…” Lin Li stared at Matthias for a while, and laughed suddenly . “I wonder if a bedridden person would be able to participate in a duel…”
Matthias felt uncertain, yet he felt a sudden surge in mana . After that, there was a deafening sound . Before Matthias could snap out of it, a wind blade had already let out a sharp whistle…
“Oh, sh*t!” Matthias was caught with his pants down . He did not imagine that this fella would be so despicable, letting out a wind blade without saying anything .
Fortunately, Matthias reacted quickly . He raised his Elemental Shield when he felt the surge in mana .
When the wind blade struck the Elemental Shield, it only produced a rainbow-colored ripple .
Although this wind blade did not hurt Matthias, his pride took a beating . He did not think this pathetic level-7 mage would dare to attack him when there were others looking . He even had to use Elemental Shield . In the eyes of Matthias, this was similar to getting a tight slap .
“Trash, you're gonna die!” Matthias clenched his teeth . While casting Delirium, he gripped his magic staff, and started to recite in hasty yet resounding manner .
The spell that Matthias was reciting was Fireball .
The rage in Matthias' heart could only be quelled by burning down the opponent into ashes with the use of this spell that was filled with anger .
On the other end, Lin Li seemed to be dumbfounded after casting Wind Blade . He did not recite other spells, nor did he raise his Elemental Shield . He only stared at Matthias casting Fireball .
“Boom!”
The fireball flew towards Lin Li frenziedly, leaving a trail of smoke behind it .
Then…
Then they saw something they would never forget…
