Chapter 282: The Horn for Counterattack
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This ti, Aaron-Mazi really thought he was going to die. Even if the bandits of the Blood Brotherhood were second to none among the large forces of Jarrosus, they would not be able to take such suffering. The current Demon Fall Valley was not the sa as the Demon Fall Valley before. Ever since it was invaded, it had been managed as a core area by the Shadow’s Nest. It was heavily guarded, and there were all sorts of traps and portals. The Shadow’s Nest managed the Demon Fall Valley like a tal barrel. Based on Aaron-Mazi’s estimation, at least eighty percent of Shadow’s Nest’s forces were garrisoned there...
This young mage had spoken about it too lightly, demanding the map of the Demon Fall Valley the mont he spoke. Aaron-Mazi really felt like telling him “Master Felic, that is sothing that our brothers have to use their lives to obtain...”
Of course, he only dared to complain to himself. He did not have the guts to say it out loud.
On the contrary, he had no choice but to smile. “It is the Blood Brotherhood’s honor to be of help to Mage Felic...”
There was no choice. Who asked this Rosi to do sothing stupid. F*ck, is the main gate of the Erald Tower sothing you can block? Furthermore, of all days to block it, you had to choose this damned day, bumping into Mage Felic when he was returning to Jarrosus. Isn’t this f*cking pushing the whole Blood Brotherhood into the furnace?
F*ck, wait for to return and settle the score with you slowly... Thinking about this, Aaron-Mazi really felt like killing sobody. He fiercely glared at Scarface, who was beside him. He had made up his mind long ago. When he returned, he would definitely let these idiots have a taste of his power.
“Then, I would have to thank Mr Mazi.” Lin Li only gave a delighted smile at this point.
“You’re welco. Mage Felic is too courteous...”
The two of them were unctuously chatting when there was another sound of carriages coming from outside of the door. Lin Li turned around and looked outside of the Erald Tower’s gates with uncertainty. He saw that there were tens of luxurious carriages parked outside the gate, and there were acquaintances walking out of these carriages one by one. Ysera from the Mannes Family, Reuben from the Saruman Family, Anthony from the Rolin Family, Daphne the Thief, the boss of the black market Old Odin, and so on... With just a glance, the leaders of all the notable forces in Jarrosus had arrived—with the exception of the rlin Family. All of them had brought gifts, and their faces were filled with smiles, asking the apprentices on duty to let them in.
“...” The two young apprentices on duty at the door were terrified. Both of them had just joined the Erald Tower in the past month. What they experienced was the toughest ti for the Erald Tower. Although they heard from so senior mages how powerful and glorious the Erald Tower was in the old days, after being used to cold shoulders, both of their minds had already thought otherwise. They even reckoned that the so-called powerful and glorious past was just a fantasy that those senior mages ca up with.
At this point, with tens of carriages parked outside the Erald Tower, the these two young apprentices finally believed that what the senior mages said was true. The Erald Tower of old days had once united the whole Jarrosus.
Looking at the nas this group of people gave, all of them were like thunder piercing the ears. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Mannes Family, the Saruman Family, and the Rolin Family. All of them were people that could shake Jarrosus with just a single tap of their feet. When they stood in front of the apprentices and respectfully inford them of their visit’s goal, the two apprentices imdiately had a floaty feeling.
“Mage Felic, do you want to see them?” The two young apprentices respectfully stood there. Their gaze towards Lin Li was filled with fanaticism and worship. That was respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts. There was no sham or deception. To them, this young mage that was almost the sa age as them and had single-handedly restored the Erald Tower to its forr glory was a living legend.
“Of course.”
Lin Li personally invited the crowd into the guild hall. Looking at this damaged Erald Tower suddenly having so many guests, naturally it was a long exchange of greetings. It took about half an hour before the crowd were seated as guests. The sincere and passionate exchange of regards and polite conversations made the atmosphere incomparably harmonious.
It was just that in the midst of this harmonious atmosphere, so of the leaders with better judgnt started to frown...
For example, Ysera...
Long ago, while walking into the guild hall, Ysera had already felt that sothing was wrong. All the while, he had always been the sharpest leader out of the tens of forces within Jarrosus. It was as if this wealthiest man in Jarrosus in his twenties was born with a talent that could see what others could not see in a person that he had just laid his eyes on. Most probably it was because of this reason that he was the first to be friendly with the Guild of Magic back then, and he was also the first to form an alliance with the Guild of Magic.
It was just that today, Ysera suddenly felt that his sharp eyes had suddenly lost their ability.
What the hell... Ysera cursed in his mind while chatting away with a face full of smiles. It was because he suddenly realized that already impossibly strong young mage had actually undergone a terrifying change in two months. If one were to say that the old Felic could make people feel that they could not go against him, then the current Felic had already reached another realm. It was like everyone was living in a different ti; they could see him and hear him, but they could not touch him.
F*ck, he’s at least an Archmage...
Ysera instinctively swallowed his saliva. An Archmage before his twenties. Just thinking about it gave Ysera goosebumps. When he looked at Lin Li again, his eyes were filled with fear.
Ysera’s expression was complicated, but Lin Li was right there, talking in a jovial mood. In reality, even he did not realize that ever since he’d returned to Jarrosus, he had slowly grown accustod to this role that Gerian had. He was used to leading the Erald Tower and jockeying for power with a crowd of leaders.
The crowd sat in the sowhat damaged guild hall and spoke glowingly about the changes that Jarrosus had in these two months. In this ti fra, naturally so of the loyal leaders were indignantly condemning the rlin Family for taking sides with the enemy as well as Shadow’s Nest’s pillaging. When these leaders spoke, the rest of the crowd was in agreent. In a mont, the guild hall had a subtle atmosphere that was a shared bitter hatred for the enemy.
Lin Li had always maintained a smile since the beginning. It looked like he really did not know that these indignant leaders did not help at all when Shadow’s Nest had attacked.
The tens of leaders of the forces stayed at the guildhall till sunset before leaving unwillingly.
Honestly, they really wanted to stay for a few more hours if they could. This young mage’s attitude was too weird. He did not ntion things from the past, and he did not even state clearly his stand on future relationships. This made the tens of leaders confused within their hearts.
They had so sort of understanding about this young mage’s personality. His thods were terrifyingly rciless. He was smiling today, but he could make moves tomorrow. Nobody knew if he would turn his back on them, and nobody knew if they could continue living in Jarrosus. The only thing they could do was to desperately repent since they did not extend their assistance earlier, when Erald Tower was in trouble. If they had thought about the eventual outco, wouldn’t they have been receiving the sa treatnt as Ysera and Reuben?
When the tens of leaders of the forces had left unwillingly, Lin Li then gave a signal to Ysera and Reuben, asking them to stay.
Ysera’s mind imdiately beca joyful. Haha, my hardwork in these two months did not go to waste. Mage Felic has finally acknowledged my status as a comrade-in-arms!
“Take a seat, both of you.” The reception this ti was of much higher standards. Lin Li had personally invited both of them to the second floor, and sat down in the room that he used to stay at. It might seem casual, but there was an unspeakable intimacy.
“Ok, ok, ok...” The two family heads looked at each other, and both saw delight in the other’s eyes.
“I will not say too many words of gratitude, you two. I, Felic, am not sobody that is ungrateful. In the past two months, I will forever rember what you two have done for the Erald Tower...”
“Felic, you are too courteous...”
“No, no, no, this is not being courteous...” Lin Li shook his head, and his expression started to beco serious. “Ok. Both of you, the friendship between us has gone past the test of battle. As long as I, Felic, am here for a day, it also ans that the Erald Tower will be the closest comrade-in-arms for the both of you. Between comrade-in-arms, there should not be any secrets. I currently have a plan, please listen and see if you can give any suggestions.”
“What plan?” When they heard this, both pricked their ears. They had known this young mage for a few months, but from the auction at the Erald Tower to the duel in the Daylight Square, they had never seen him so serious before.
“If I can, I hope that before tomorrow’s evening, I can make the Erald Tower’s Warlock’s Eyes cover the entire Demon Fall Valley again!”
“...” Ysera drew in a breath of cold air.
This young family head that was in his twenties was in control of the Mannes Family, and spread the Gilded Rose’s influence to the whole of the Felan Kingdom, yet even he thought that he’d misheard this sentence. The only thing that appeared in his head was a question: how was this possible? To regain the Demon Fall Valley before tomorrow evening was more inconceivable than Gerian losing weight. Ysera had seen the strength of the Shadow’s Nest before. Well-trained warriors and incomparably superior equipnt. For any force that grew perceptibly from mage, it was the most lethal enemy. Back then, with the strength of the Guild of Magic, the Shadow’s Nest only needed one attack, and they managed to seize control of the Demon Fall Valley. Now, they managed the whole Demon Fall Valley like a tal barrel, so how could it be taken back just because sobody wanted to?
