Chapter 308: Pie in the Sky

The lobby of the library was silent, and most of the magicians sat on either side of the long table, holding thick magic books in their hands, and were watching intently, and when the four of them walked in through the door, no one even looked at them, as if it were not four big living people, but four mosquitoes that had crept in...... The four of them walked lightly through the lobby of the library and down the stairs to the second floor, where the guard who led the way knocked lightly twice on a hidden door, and heard an old voice coming from inside.

"Please come in."

Lin Li straightened the folds on his robe, and then reached out and pushed open the hidden door.

The reception room is not very spacious, there is a row of high bookshelves on each side, the bookshelves are piled with all kinds of books, standing there, it seems that you can smell a strong fragrance of ink, the thick carpet is soft and clean, a coffee table and a few rattan chairs, the uncomplicated furnishings seem to be scattered, on the other side of the room, is an open terrace, the afterglow of the setting sun penetrates through the terrace, gilding this small reception room with a brilliant gold.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, an old man with white hair was sitting there peacefully, slowly and rhythmically shaking the rattan chair, on his left hand side, there was a small coffee table with a teapot and four teacups on it, and on his right hand, he was leaning on a cyan staff, the gem at the top of the staff was not very dazzling, but the magic fluctuations emanating from it made Lin Li couldn't help but gasp...... "Good afternoon, Ferrey Magician." The old man's tone was slow and gentle, and there was a faint smile in his eyes when he thought about it.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Basel." Lin Li held his chest with one hand, bent down slightly, and saluted the old man who was sitting on the rattan chair.

"Please sit down, please sit down, you don't have to be so restrained, just treat it as your own home......" The old man warmly beckoned everyone to sit down, but when he spoke, his eyes kept looking at Lin Li, and when everyone sat down one by one, the old man spoke again: "If I remember correctly, Magician Ferre should have worshiped Anduin half a year ago, and then entered the Garros Magic Guild through Anduin's introduction, oh yes, when you first performed the level certification, your mana output time was twenty-eight minutes, right?" It's amazing, my old man has lived so much, and I've never seen a magician who can maintain his mana output for twenty-eight minutes......"

Lin Li sat there quietly, listening carefully without saying a word, but his heart was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface, in fact, at this time, Lin Li had already set off a storm in his heart, even when he was dreaming, Lin Li never thought that someone would know everything about himself!

This is simply impossible, the magic output that lasts for twenty-eight minutes has long been listed as the top secret of the guild by Grean, and even the Supreme Council has not obtained the relevant information, where did this old man named Basel know about it? As for worshipping under Anduin half a year ago, this is even more incredible...... This is his greatest secret, and no one knows it except Anduin.

Anduin is definitely not so boring, joking about his biggest secret, of course he can't say it, and he is not full of food, so he is uncomfortable with himself? But the question is, everyone doesn't say, where did this old man named Basel know about it? Could it be that there is really that kind of magic stick in this world that can pinch and calculate?

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Basel knows me very well......" Although Lin Li was smiling on his face, this smile looked unusually stiff, and the feeling was almost like a person taking a bath, but suddenly found that he was being watched by someone up and down.

Now, Lin Li has a feeling of being looked down upon...... However, the voyeur sitting on the wicker chair did not mean sorry at all.

"Hehe, the magician of Ferret is really a prize, all I know is some skins......"

"Mr. Basel, are you so modest......" Lin Li smiled stiffly, and scolded secretly in his stomach, just like that, you still know only a few furs? Then you don't have too much hair, right...... "No, no, no, this is not modesty, I know myself, I still don't know a lot, for example, how did Ferre magician grow from a layman who didn't know anything about magic to a real sixteenth-level great magician in half a year, for example, how did Ferrey magician do it, he was proficient in both potions and forging, let's talk from the heart, Ferrey magician, in my opinion, you are full of all kinds of secrets, the more I know about you, The more I felt ignorant......"

Nophile and Duke sat there quietly, motionless, as if they were two sculptures, of course, Nofele was motionless because he was indifferent to everything, as a high-level vampire, unless someone hurt his blood oath contractor, nothing was enough to make Nofele lose his temper, and Duke was motionless because he was completely stupid...... What worship under Anduin's door, what twenty-eight minutes of magic output, Duke didn't understand very well, but he heard the words sixteenth-level archmage clearly, hell, what is the concept of sixteenth-level archmage? I'm afraid that even the chief magician of the Dorland City Lord's Mansion is only at this level at most, right?

Duke really never dreamed that his luck would be so good, casually picking up a wallet, and actually picking up a sixteenth-level great magician, thinking about the scene at that time, and then thinking about that terrifying little trick, Duke suddenly only felt a cold sweat...... Fortunately, Lao Tzu was clever and didn't do anything stupid.

Otherwise, even if he had ten lives, he was afraid that he would already be dead...... "To be honest, I was surprised......" Lin Li touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "However, Mr. Basel, I think you invited me here today, it shouldn't be as simple as just trying to scare me, right?" ”

"Hehe, Ferray Magician, don't get me wrong, the reason why I say so much is just to prove my sincerity, you see, I'm just a bad old man, I don't have any hostility towards Ferrey Magician, in fact, I invited Ferrey Wizard today because I have a good deal to talk to you about."

"Oh? I wonder if Mr. Basel can tell me what kind of deal this is? ”

"Don't worry, Ferrey Mage, I'll tell you the details of the transaction later, but before that, I want to take the liberty of asking, I wonder if the Supreme Council appointed Ferrey Magician as the president of the Light Wind Plains Magic Guild a month ago?"

"Well, that's the case, but as you can see, I've just arrived in the Plains of the Breeze, and before anything can get off the ground, there's nothing left in my hands except for a tower that has just finished the main body, and a few colleagues who aren't very friendly, and if you're going to make some kind of exchange in this regard, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed......"

"No, no, no......" The old man shook his head, his voice was still slow and gentle: "Wizard Ferry, I think you have misunderstood, although the deal I am talking about, although it is related to your position as the head of the Magic Guild of the Light Wind Plains, it is a little different from what you imagined, in fact, I was about to ask Wizard Ferrey, when the mage tower is built, will some manpower be needed......"

"Manpower?" This sentence fell into his ears, and Lin Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean that you can provide a certain amount of military support to the Magic Guild?" ”

It's no wonder Lin Li is so excited, for the current magic guild, the most important thing is undoubtedly the support of force, no way, this place in the Light Wind Plain is like this, all kinds of forces are intricate, no one knows when the crisis will come, just like Lin Li said himself just now, in addition to a tower that has just completed the main body, there are only a few unfriendly colleagues left, if you really encounter any trouble, it is definitely not enough to rely on yourself and Nophile, what you need is a group of powerful enough subordinates, Only in this way can you ensure that you can survive better in the Breeze Plain.

It is precisely for this reason that Lin Li has been so keen on making money recently.

If it had been before, how could this lazy guy be willing to sweat in front of the furnace?

As early as when he was in Garros, Lin Li knew that this world is so realistic, only if you have money, who wants to help you work for nothing if you don't have money?

For Lin Li, Basel's proposal is indeed attractive.

The current Dolander Library is almost equivalent to another form of magic guild, but the structure is looser than that of the magic guild, and the power of knowledge has gathered the magicians of the entire Dolander City, so that they can maintain a certain degree of obedience to the owner of the library, Basel, if Basel is willing, he can indeed recruit many powerful magicians for himself!

Lin Li gritted his teeth: "Tell me about your conditions!" ”

"Hehe, my conditions are very simple......" The old man smiled, and for the first time left the rattan chair under him and stood up: "Reserve a place for me in the magic guild." ”

"Huh?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment.

In fact, long before he spoke, he had already thought about what conditions Basel would propose, but he didn't expect that what Basel was asking for was to reserve a place for him in the Magic Guild...... What kind of condition is this? Basel's strength is something that even he can't see through, which means that he is likely to be a legendary-level powerhouse...... A legendary-level powerhouse took the initiative to ask to join the Magic Guild, and at the same time promised to recruit a group of magicians for himself...... This is just like a beautiful woman with a lot of money and her parents are dead, crying and shouting that she wants to marry you, and she also took the initiative to help you take a group of concubines, what is the difference between this and pie in the sky?
