Chapter 208 Secret Talk in a Dark Alley
Mathias was really panicked. He couldn't figure out what was going on...
Logically speaking, everything should go smoothly.
Ever since he accidentally heard someone say that this Garros country bumpkin was going on a long trip, Mathias had put a lot of thought into it. First, he found out the time of his departure, and then sent several people to monitor him. That morning, when he found out that he was really going to leave the Magic Guild, Mathias was so happy that he immediately found his magic mentor and asked him to track down the Garros magician and find a safe place to kill him... …
When Mathias thought about it, the sixteenth-level great mage personally took action, let alone one Ferey, even if there were ten Ferrey, it would be over. These days, he stayed in the Magic Guild peacefully, without even a door. He came out once more, just waiting for Argus to bring him good news.
What awaited him was a real thorn in his side standing in front of him.
And just now, he was tied with Medellin in a competition!
Mathias stood in front of the crystal ball and stared at the face for a full minute before confirming that he had seen correctly. The guy who was tied with Medellin was really the Ferre from Garros. !
Mathias couldn't sit still anymore. He had to go back immediately and ask his magic mentor what was going on.
"Good morning, Magician Mathias." Lin Li greeted with a smile on his face.
"Morning." Mathias's heart was burning now, and he still had the time to bother with him. After a hasty greeting, he passed by Lin Li. He hurried outside the guild hall.
This time, Lin Li did not continue to provoke. He just smiled secretly in his heart: "Agus, I wish you good luck."
"Why does this guy look so weird..." Looking at Mathias's retreating back. Mason muttered quietly.
"He feels guilty." Lin Li smiled. He didn’t continue to explain. Just said it to Mason Ouling. Let them go back first. I plan to go out for a walk. It might come later.
"Then Fei Lei, please be careful." Masen said before leaving. Still a little uneasy: "I always feel that that kid is not normal. Maybe he is doing some tricks."
"Don't worry. I'm fine." This time, Mason really guessed it right. Mathias did make a little move. But it doesn't matter anymore. Huoyu Mountain is Huoyu Mountain. Oranna is Oranna. Under the nose of the Magic Guild. Lin Li believed that Mathias was not bold enough to touch him.
This is no joke...
The bet would be won or lost half a year later. It is directly related to the Osric Land Tomb. If you really have three strengths and two weaknesses. The magic guild lost the opportunity to compete for the Osrec Tomb. Medellin is really going crazy. What will happen then? I'm afraid even Wilhelm can't handle it.
It is not very wise to provoke such a big enemy of the Magic Guild just for the sake of temporary anger.
As for Mathias not understanding this, Lin Li really wasn't worried at all. It didn't matter if he didn't understand. As long as Wilhelm understands. As long as the resources of the Marathon family are not used, what kind of trouble can one Mathias make? Could it be that he could find another great magician to assassinate him?
So Lin Li left the guild hall with peace of mind and walked along the street to the Buckland weapons store.
"Morning, Boss Buck." The business in the weapons store didn't seem to be very good. When Lin Li went in, he only saw two adventurers choosing weapons there, while Buck leaned listlessly on the counter and dozed off.
"Morning, Magician Feyre."
"How's it going, Boss Buck, have you got anything good delivered in the past two days?" Lin Li looked around after entering the door, and found that there seemed to be a lot of new equipment in the store, and the craftsmanship seemed to be very good. At that moment, Lin Li I also have some interest.
"Stop joking, Magician Feyre..." Buck smiled in fear. What did the young magician in front of him do? How could he not know? That was someone who could casually take out eternal fine gold, so how could it be an ordinary thing that caught his eye? Even if he searched all over Oranna, he probably wouldn't be able to find much, let alone The business of my weapons store is getting worse and worse.
"By the way, Boss Buck, how's business going lately?" Looking at Buck's face, Lin Li knew that there was probably nothing good coming, so he didn't continue to ask questions and just casually changed the subject.
"Don't mention business..." Unexpectedly, this casual mention made Buck frown, and the middle-aged businessman sighed, with a somewhat frustrated look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Lin Li couldn't help but be a little curious. It's not like he had never seen the equipment in Buck's shop. Even from his perspective as a forging master, the craftsmanship of these equipment was considered good. For ordinary adventurers, Each piece is even more sophisticated, and Buck is a good person. He understands that when doing business, you can’t knock him to death with a stick. Even with those high-priced equipment that easily cost thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins, his profit is only one hundred or two hundred gold coins. , among the nearby streets, the equipment in Buck's store can be said to be the lowest priced.
That's why Lin Li couldn't understand why the business was not going well when the quality and price were right.
"The business in the store has been getting worse and worse recently..." Buck sighed, looking a little helpless, and while he was speaking, the two adventurers who chose weapons seemed to have no choice after looking around. After choosing his favorite weapon, he looked at it with critical eyes for a few times, then shook his head and went out.
"These two guys have really no sense..." Lin Li curled his lips and glanced out the door curiously, only to see the two adventurers entering a weapons store on the opposite street after coming out of Buck's store. Store: , For a moment, Lin Li couldn't help but be a little confused: "Boss Buck, is that weapons store over there a new one?"
"Well, it just opened a few days ago."
"Oh..." Lin Li nodded and did not continue. This was too obvious. The reason why Buck's business is getting worse and worse is probably because of the newly opened weapons store on the opposite street. However, this is normal competition among peers and has nothing to do with Lin Li.
"There's nothing I can do about it. He's carrying the Maraton family's brand name, so it's certain that his business will be good."
"A member of the Marathon family?"
"It should be. I went to see it quietly two days ago. The equipment there is indeed produced by the Maraton Forge Workshop."
"Then you are in big trouble..."
"It doesn't matter, the business is bad. Anyway, I'm going back to Luoyue City soon. My son writes letters every day to remind me, so I just took this opportunity to close the business." Buck said not caring much. But he couldn't hide the disappointed look on his face. After all, he had been in business for more than ten years. No one can accept that it is over.
"That's pretty good..." Lin Li smiled and changed the topic.
There was little business in Buck's shop that afternoon, and Lin Li had nothing urgent to do, so the two of them chatted there without saying a word. They didn't feel that the time was too much, until almost evening. Lin Li just came out of Buck's shop.
After coming out of Buck's shop, Lin Li was not in a hurry to go back to the Magic Guild. Instead, he walked along the street towards the newly opened weapons store.
He plans to go over and have a look...
Of course, this has nothing to do with whether Buckland's business is good or not.
He just didn't feel normal.
After hearing what Buck said just now, he subconsciously felt that the Marathon family should not be here at this time. Bring the weapon shop to this place. As for why he felt this way, he really couldn't explain it for a moment. But it doesn’t matter, it’s just idle time anyway. It might as well go to the Marathon family's weapons store. After all, it is the best weapons store in the Kingdom of France. There might be some unexpected surprises.
"Mr. Ferre..."
Lin Li had just walked to the corner of the street when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. The voice sounded very low, like a mosquito. In addition, it was already evening and the sky was getting dark. Lin Li opened his eyes After looking there for a long time, I saw a familiar figure at the corner of the street.
"What are you doing, Argus?" Lin Li asked with a frown, and he was murmuring in his heart, what's going on with this guy? Didn't he already let him go? Why did he come back to look for him again? Could it be possible to be an addict while being a prisoner?
"Can I talk to you?" Argus looked a little sneaky on his face. After looking around for a while, he lowered his voice and asked Lin Li.
"Talk about it. Although Lin Li was confused, the look on Argus's face didn't seem like he was joking. Although Lin Li was confused, he still nodded reluctantly: "You find a place. "
"follow me."
As if he was afraid of being seen, Argus kept his head lowered along the way and led Lin Li around several corners before stopping outside a dark alley.
"Okay Argus, this place is remote enough. If you have anything to say, just talk here." Lin Li glanced at the dark alley and felt a little wary.
"Okay." Argus hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "That's it, Mr. Ferre, Mathias came to see me this afternoon..."
"I know." Lin Li nodded. In the afternoon, he watched Mathias walk out of the guild hall. How could he not know why Mathias went out in such a hurry? Besides looking for his own Unless the magic instructor asks clearly, it can't be anything else...
"Did...did you tell him something?"
"Stop joking..." Lin Li rolled his eyes, thinking that I was not full enough, so he ran to tell Mathias what to say, have you ever seen a cat tell a mouse?
"But……"
"But what?"
"But I feel that Mathias seems to be doubting me..." Agus shook his head, looking extremely anxious: "As soon as Mathias came back this afternoon, he asked me directly if you really had a breakthrough. He has reached the realm of a great magician."
"You mean, he knows that we fought against each other?"
"Yes, so I want to ask if you were careless when you were speaking..." Argus's voice became lower and lower. Although he didn't say "accidentally", he still had a sneaky look. But he told Lin Li clearly that I was doubting you!
"Shut up..." Lin Li glared at him fiercely: "Then what did you say?"
After being glared at by Lin Li, Argus looked away angrily, and continued in a lower voice: "I have no choice but to admit that I have fought with you, but I was unlucky. I met the six mercenary groups and the Saloman Snakes. During the battle, you took advantage of the chaos and ran away. As for whether you really broke through to the realm of the Great Mage, I don’t know..."
"Yes." Lin Li nodded, with a hint of approval in his expression: "The response is good."
"But I don't know if Mathias believes it..."
"He can only believe it. Think about it for yourself. You know what happened in the cave. I know it, and Sheen knows it. As long as the three of us don't say anything, the devil will know if I ran out in the chaos..."
"I hope so..." Argus still looked a little worried.
"By the way, Argus..." After finishing the matter, and just as he was about to leave, Lin Li suddenly remembered the newly opened weapons store: "Do you know why the Marathon family opened the weapons store in Magic? Next to the guild?”
"I'm not very clear about this. Gothe has always taken care of business matters..." When Agus said this, his face couldn't help but show some doubts: "But there is one thing that is very strange. Recently, During this time on Ranwen Novel Network, Maraton Forge seems to have shipped a lot of magic equipment. I wonder if it has something to do with this new weapon shop..."
"How much is no less?"
Agus thought for a while: "There are probably hundreds of sets..."
"That must be nothing. There are hundreds of sets of magic equipment. We won't be able to sell them all until next year..." Lin Li said. The look on his face changed: "Wait a minute, what did you just say? The Maraton Forge shipped hundreds of sets of magic equipment?"
"No...that's right."
"Very good." Lin Li gritted his teeth and uttered two words, then looked at Argus. The expression on his face was already a little scary: "Agus, how about you do me a favor?"
"Huh?" Argus was stunned for a moment.
"Help me find out where the equipment shipped from the Maraton Forging Workshop went."
"This..." Argus frowned, looking very embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's not easy. You know, I'm just Mathias's magic instructor. I can't talk about business matters at all, and At such a sensitive time now, if Mathias finds out about my relationship with you, I'm afraid..."
Argus explained nonchalantly, but Lin Li didn't listen at all. He just said to himself: "Get this done, and I will help you restore your magic power."
"Okay!" After saying this, Argus immediately changed his tune, but after saying that, he seemed a little uneasy: "But, can my magic power really be restored?"
"Of course." Lin Li really didn't talk nonsense this time. Although Argus was sucked out of his magic power by the vampire fangs, in essence, this is a normal energy transfer. Since Lin Li can use the vampire fangs to suck out his magic power, , you can also return the magic power to him, because the magic power itself belongs to Argus, and there will be no attribute conflict during the transfer. All Lin Li has to do is make small changes in the magic pattern.
certainly……
Because vampire fangs are plated with divine metal, the magic power stored on them will definitely be consumed, and as time goes by, this consumption will become more severe. It will not last more than ten days. The magic power of the sixteenth-level great mage will be completely consumed by the metal of God and converted into the power of the vampire fangs themselves.
So Lin Li kindly reminded him: "But you must be quick. If you can't help me get this done within five days, then I can't guarantee it..."
"Okay!" Argus gritted his teeth and finally decided to trust the young magician again.
Because after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any reason for the other party to deceive him. If he just wanted him to do things for him, then he could use other methods, such as violence or threats. Now the strength of the two parties has been completely reversed. This young man The magician became a great mage, but because he lost all his magic power, he fell into the realm of a mage.
On top of that, the temptation to regain his magic was too great.
For a former great mage, letting him stay in the realm of a mage is simply more painful than killing him. It is like a multimillionaire suddenly becoming destitute overnight. There is a huge contrast between before and after, and even It can completely break a person.
"Well, you should hurry up and burn the text novel website. As long as you can handle this matter well, I will take care of restoring the magic power." Lin Li then showed a satisfied smile.
For Lin Li, this is the really important thing. For this matter, he can even give up the powerful magic power he has obtained. That is the magic power of a sixteenth-level magician. Once it is destroyed by the divine metal on the vampire's fangs, Complete absorption can immediately increase the power of vampire fangs by several levels, but this is no longer important. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The most important thing now is that Lin Li must know where those hundreds of sets of equipment went. .
If you go to the Nest of Shadows, don't blame me for being rude...
"By the way, Agus." Before leaving, Lin Li said a few more words to Agus: "If Mathias asks about what happened on Fire Feather Mountain again, you must bite your tongue and say that I took advantage of the chaos. He ran away. I will see if there is a chance in the next two days to find a time to talk to him on Ranwen Novel Network and make him believe that what you said is indeed true."
"OK."
The two discussed the details again before leaving the dark alley. After coming out of the dark alley, Lin Li was no longer interested in going to the newly opened weapons store. He went directly back to the Magic Guild's residence.
Lin Li opened the door and saw that besides Mason Ouling, there was also Kevin sitting in the living room. Lin Li couldn't help but be a little confused for a moment. Didn't Medellin say that people should give Kai Did Wen arrange the accommodation? Why are you still in your room so late? Did the old guy forget about it in anger after his boat capsized in the gutter?
