Chapter 7: Becoming a President?
In the afternoon, in the midst of the Alchemist's Guild. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the small courtyard, Lynch looked at his empty right hand, and was amazed.
Obviously, the Earth Elemental Ring was worn on the index finger of his right hand, and he could touch the cold touch, but he couldn't see it at all, and if Lynch didn't inject soul power into it at all, then no one could easily detect the existence of this first-order magic ring.
"Yiyi, I've worked hard for you, it took more than a dozen invisibility charms to finally complete the addition." Lynch smiled gratefully at Yiyi.
"Isn't it also for the master that Yiyi learns to refine spells, this is what Yiyi should do." Yiyi smiled.
At this moment, Lynch looked at the round arch of the small courtyard, and saw that the fifth master was walking into the courtyard, and after seeing Lynch sitting on this stone bench, he immediately walked towards here.
"Fifth master, are you looking for me?" Lynch said with a smile.
"The president wants to see you." The fifth master's mood is not high.
Lynch took a deep look at the fifth master, saw his frowning brow, and immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong with the situation.
"Isn't it, what's going on with the growth?" Lynch asked keenly.
"Don't ask, you'll find out when you go." The fifth master still didn't speak.
When he followed the fifth master to the deepest part of the small courtyard of the Alchemist's Guild Mansion, Lynch stopped when he looked at the fifth master and pointed to the room at the end, and immediately asked, "The fifth master won't accompany me in?" ”
"Nope." The fifth master sighed.
Lynch didn't ask any more questions, walked towards the room at the end of the small courtyard, came to the door, and before he could knock on the door, an old voice had already come from inside, "It's Lin Zunshi, the door is not locked." ”
Lynch pushed the door open and walked in, because the curtains were drawn all around, so the light in the room was not bright, and after getting used to it for a while, he was surprised to see an old man lying in bed.
The old man's hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of ravines, and he looked a little older than the fifth master, his eyes were half-open, although a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes after seeing Lynch, but it was quickly extinguished.
"You've been a member of our Alchemists' Guild for over two months, haven't you?" The old man sat up from the bed, leaned back on the head of the bed, and said with a smile.
"It's been almost three months." Lynch replied respectfully.
"You see, I'm so old that I can't remember anymore." The old man said, sighing, "It is said that cultivators work hard to improve their strength, and when their strength is raised to a certain level, they can live forever, and I have now reached the strength of the second order, and I have only extended my life for a few years longer than the people of the first order, and I am still far from that immortality." ”
Seeing that Lynch didn't answer, the old man hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at me, I said these meaningless words...... It's been almost three months since you joined the Alchemists' Guild, and we haven't met yet, and you definitely don't know me either, my name is Song Shu, and I'm the president of the Alchemists' Guild. ”
"President Song, although I haven't seen you, I often hear the fifth master mention it, speaking of you, the fifth master is also very respectful, you must have been a man of the year when you were young." Lynch busily said.
"What kind of people are not people, don't call me President Song, respect me and call me Song Lao...... For so many years, I have always wanted to live a few more years, and now at this time, I can figure it out, what kind of false name can be used for what kind of president? Song Lao said with a smile.
"Old Song is very conscious." Lynch admired, at least he was still burdened by fame.
"In fact, since a few years ago, I knew that I didn't have long to live, but there was no successor, the fifth master was also old, although Qiangxian was a hard-working and very talented child, but his strength was still insufficient...... That's why I've been holding on to the position of president until now. Song Lao said patiently.
"I thought that I would be able to hold on for a few more years, until Qiangxian grows up, and I will be able to pass on the position of president to him with peace of mind, but in the past two years, the puppeteer's guild has suddenly started to move, and it is not these two years, I'm afraid they have been secretly planning for many years...... In fact, the city lord is already old, and he is also facing the same situation as me. Song Lao said and sighed.
"Well, don't talk about him...... The situation of our guild has not been good in the past few months, so I can only drag my sick body to refine some high-grade Xuandan to make some money to facilitate the normal expenses of the guild, but in the past few months, my body has been getting worse day by day, especially the need for alchemy, several times I felt that I had stepped into the ghost gate, and I almost failed to come back. As he spoke, Song Lao looked at Lynch deeply, his eyes full of gratitude.
"But fortunately, I heard from the fifth child, he said that after you came, you immediately solved the problem of the guild's daily expenses, and also made the development of the guild thriving, and even praised you far more than Qiangxian...... That's why I've always wanted to meet you, and now that we're meeting, it's well deserved. ”
"Although you seem to be only a first-order and fifth-order puppeteer, when you first joined the guild, you were only a first-order third-order puppeteer...... Didn't even that puppet of yours deceive everyone? Song Lao said, laughing.
"Y-You know?" Lynch's eyes widened and his heart raced, this was the first time anyone could recognize Yiyi's true identity!
"Although you are really talented, not only in alchemy, but also in puppet control, but after all, I have walked more bridges than you have walked, so it is not surprising to recognize you...... But don't worry, others won't recognize me if they don't have my experience. Song Lao said with a smile.
Song Lao's words made Lynch extremely interested, and although his heart was relieved, he was still extremely curious about Song Lao's experience.
"You don't have to be too curious about why I can recognize it, I won't tell you this." Song Lao smiled, but soon his face became serious, and his words changed.
"I didn't come to you this time to see you simply...... Actually, I want to entrust you with the Alchemist's Guild. ”
Song Lao's words made Lynch stunned.
"What, entrust it to me? How do I have this ability? Lynch hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, the Alchemist Guild needs someone to lead the way, I don't have the time and energy anymore, I believe it won't be long before I go west...... But the last thing I can let go of is this Alchemist's Guild. Song Lao said very seriously.
"But, Elder Song, I can't protect myself now, the puppet control guild wants to deal with me, I am already very grateful to be sheltered in the guild, and now I have to take over as your president, how can I be." Lynch still couldn't believe it.
"This matter was decided by me after careful consideration, and you should not refuse, I know that your future path will definitely not be in this spiritual city, and you do not belong here...... So I'm also selfish, and when you lead the Alchemist Guild through this catastrophe, if you want to leave, you can give this president position to the person you want to give, and I won't force you to stay. ”
"But, now, there is no one more suitable for the position of president than you!"
