Chapter 45: Talking (Part 4)
In the evening, the fifth master knocked on the door of Lynch's room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Lynch saw that it was the fifth master, he immediately understood that the other party was going to talk openly and honestly about some things with him, and turned his head to signal the two girls to rest in the room, and Lynch followed the fifth master to the small courtyard.
"I was here 70 years ago." The fifth master sat on the stone bench in the courtyard casually, and suddenly sighed.
Suddenly hearing these words, Lynch, who was just sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, almost fell, he carefully looked at the fifth master, although he could see that it was an old man, but he looked like he was in his seventies, and his body was very tough, how could it be that he had already arrived at the Alchemist's Guild seven years ago?
"Haha, I know you must think I'm bragging, but actually, I'm ninety-five!" The fifth master glanced at Lynch, and suddenly spoke proudly.
Lynch was speechless for a while, and after a while, he took a small cup handed over by the fifth master, and the fragrance of tea wafted in it.
"Lynch, actually, I know from you that you didn't simply want to join our guild, there must be some other purpose, but you just didn't say it." The fifth master's words made Lynch almost squirt out a mouthful of tea.
Lynch held back, but with a smile on his face, he said casually, "Fifth Master, you misunderstood me, I never had any other thoughts, just because with the improvement of strength, the resources are becoming more and more insufficient, so I want to join a guild to relieve the pressure." ”
"Really?" The fifth master's eyes flashed.
"Really!" Lynch nodded earnestly.
"Then how did I find out that you, the Fire Spirit Dzi, were once worn on a kid named Ji Song in the puppeteer's guild?"
"Treasures, there are always similar ones, I don't know about him, but this bead in my hand has been with me since I was a child." Lynch's eyes rolled as if nothing had happened.
"That's it......" The fifth master nodded, and the conversation changed, "I suddenly remembered the news that the treasure of the 'Green Dragon Pavilion' was cheated away a few days ago, it seems that it is this space ring on your left index finger, right?" ”
Lynch's heart was beating faster, his palms were sweaty, and he carefully placed the cup on the table, he felt the powerful pressure coming from the fifth master, and finally laughed dryly.
"Fifth Master, you are really tricky!"
Taking a deep breath, Lynch finally admitted, "Since you've talked about it all, I'll tell you the truth...... What you just said was made by me, whether it is the Fire Spirit Dzi or the Space Ring, they are all obtained as you said. ”
"Then why didn't you admit it in the first place?" The fifth master hummed.
Lynch felt the pressure around him weaken, and he breathed a sigh of relief, he knew he had made the right bet.
With the relationship between the Alchemist Guild and the Puppet Control Guild, the Fifth Master will not blame himself if he says it.
Rather than deny it to the end and arouse the disgust of the fifth master, it is better to simply admit it.
"The reason why I didn't admit it before was because I was afraid that you would think I was in trouble behind me and didn't want me to join the club." Lynch chuckled.
"Hmph, you're smart." The fifth master couldn't help but smile.
"If it's another guild, I'm afraid I will really drive you away when I learn about the conflict between you and the puppeteer's guild, but we just don't deal with them, you will stay here when you come, and I will keep you safe!"
"Then thank you so much, Fifth Master!" A flash of joy flashed across Lynch's face.
Lynch had already learned from the other disciples that the fifth master was the vice president of the guild, and since the vice president had spoken, he was relieved.
"Since we both have spoken, then I will tell you the truth." The fifth master suddenly spoke.
"Although our guild is still one of the five major guilds in Lingcheng, in the past ten years, it has been continuously suppressed by the puppeteer's guild, and now the situation is very unoptimistic."
"How did you suppress it?" Lynch couldn't help but ask.
"The puppeteer guild has grasped our weakness, knowing that our alchemist guild needs a lot of money to maintain the cultivation of the people in the guild, so more than ten years ago, they began to gradually encroach on our various shops in the spirit city, and by the time we reacted, most of them had already fallen." The fifth master's face was full of anger.
"Not only that, but they also pulled the Raiders Guild together to drive us out of Spirit City completely."
"Why don't you fight back? Is the Puppeteer's Guild strong? Lynch's heart moved.
"It's not so easy to fight back, at that time, we went to the puppet control guild under the leadership of the president to threaten, but after the other party brought in the assault master guild, we couldn't fight one against two, and the other two guilds were also unwilling to wade into this troubled water." The fifth master said and sighed.
"In this way, in more than ten years, our guild has finally fallen to such a point, but in the eyes of the uninformed, it seems that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and still thinks that our family is strong."
"And when the puppet control guild is full of funds, its strength is no longer the same." The fifth master looked up at Lynch, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"Their three Venerables, except for the Lingxiao Venerable, both the Purgatory Venerable and the Blazing Rock Venerable have all reached the strength of the seventh rank of the first order, and the puppets under their hands are even closer to breaking through to the second order!"
"Second Order!" Lynch was stunned for a while, and he also kept the names of these three Venerables firmly in his heart.
"Today's Spirit City has already belonged to the situation where the two forces of the puppet control guild and the city lord are competing for hegemony, if it weren't for the fact that our other guilds still have some background and strength, I'm afraid it would have been swallowed up by them a long time ago." The fifth master's face was already difficult to see.
After learning the true news of the puppeteer's guild from the mouth of the fifth master, Lynch finally had an idea of its approximate strength, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the strength.
"But don't worry, even if they know that you are here, as long as we don't let them in, they can't do anything about you, unless their guild leader comes personally, otherwise our guild leader is not something they can easily deal with!" The fifth master said that he would grow with pride on his face.
"Then I'll thank the fifth master here." Lynch thanked him again.
The tea was cold, and the two sat for a while, admiring the night for a moment, and Lynch finally got up to say goodbye.
"Fifth Master, just let someone deliver the alchemy materials to me tomorrow, and I will hand over the refined pill to them the next day." Lynch spoke abruptly as he got up.
"I'm sorry for you." The fifth master nodded and smiled.
Lynch smiled again, but when he turned around, he was already smiling.
Although the strength of the puppeteer's guild is far beyond Lynch's thoughts, he is no longer fighting alone......
