Chapter 232: Twilight Forest
"The Book of Fawan?" When Lin Li heard this name, his heart couldn't help but move, and he suddenly remembered what Anduin had told him before, when Osric went on an expedition to the abyss and snatched two books from the Great Demon's palace, one of which was not the Book of Ten Thousand Laws?
That's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?
As soon as Hoffman, who had mastered the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, walked on his front foot, Balbo, who was holding the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, came up, and this old man and a fat man both had the intention of giving this treasure to themselves, so that Lin Li couldn't help but wonder if the two of them should have discussed it early in the morning, right?
"How?" Seeing that Lin Li didn't speak, Balbo's heart suddenly rejoiced, at this time, without directly refusing, it means that there is still hope, which means that this genius pharmacist is finally tempted by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
Honestly, Balbo was not wrong this time.
The moment he heard the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, Lin Li really hesitated, this is the relic of the Great Lord Osric, not to mention Lin Li, even if it is a legendary powerhouse like Anduin, when he mentioned these two books, his face couldn't help but show a look of envy, and he even once said that if someone can master these two books at the same time, even he has to be a little jealous.
A power that even legendary mages have to fear, who doesn't want to be impressed?
But...... It's another thing to join the Pharmacists' Guild.
"Chief Bal, thank you for thinking so highly of me......" When he said this, the expression on Lin Li's face was extremely sincere: "To be honest, the conditions you offered are really generous, and it is absolutely false to say that you are not tempted, but unfortunately, I have always been lazy, and I don't want to change what I am used to, you are right, the place in Garros is indeed relatively remote, and the Emerald Tower is far inferior to the Apothecary Guild, but I am used to all this, used to Grean's temper, Accustomed to the deserted Emerald Tower, and accustomed to the crappy magicians, I felt comfortable there, and I didn't want to adapt to a new environment, nor did I want to pursue the pinnacle of pharmacy, and I hoped that the chief of the Bar Borough would understand. ”
Although the reason for this remark is a bit far-fetched, it seems extremely sincere in Lin Li's words, even Balbo, who was rejected, couldn't get angry after hearing it, but looked at him in a daze for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "It seems that my luck is much worse than Anduin......"
After seeing Balbo leave, Lin Li was about to change places to sit, but suddenly found that he was being targeted again.
This time, it was Jonathan, Prince Lionheart.
It was also a compliment and a greeting, and he was also desperately courting Lin Li, with that expression and demeanor, he almost didn't pat his chest and promise his brother that he would establish a title such as the chief pharmacist of the palace.
After His Royal Highness the Prince left, His Excellency the Archbishop came again.
And then there's the necromancer...... And then there is the killer leader...... On this night, the big names among the pharmacists, like marquees, circled around the forest non-stop, and you sang and I appeared, making a secluded corner very lively.
Lin Li was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and finally fooled these big people away, thinking that he should be able to take a rest now, right? But I didn't expect that the buttocks hadn't had time to sit hot, those pharmacists who knew that their backgrounds were not as good as the previous ones, and had been waiting for a long time next to them, were indeed impatient to wait early in the morning.
Just when Lin Li was about to be driven crazy, Anduin came back, the old man walked from a distance unhurriedly with his hands behind his back, and from time to time a familiar pharmacist came up and greeted him with a warm face, but most of the exchange was only a slight nod, or a lively "En", which could make him stop and talk, and it could be said that there was no one who could stop and talk.
There is no way, Anduin can't do it now.
His old man's disciple, but he is a hot person, just with a bottle of Void Power Elixir, this young man's name will definitely be written into the history of the development of apothery, such a genius pharmacist, who doesn't want to establish a good relationship with him? The Apothecary Guild is powerful enough, the Temple of Light and the Dark Temple are powerful enough, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is powerful enough for the Fran Royal Family, and even these big people have taken the initiative to show favor to him, not to mention other small fish and shrimp?
"Ferry, come over here, I have something to talk to you about." Anduin shouted from afar, and the teacher's style was full of it.
"Oh, well, well......" Lin Li nodded hurriedly, and fled from the encirclement of a group of pharmacists.
At this moment, no matter how unwilling a group of pharmacists were, they could only sit there and stare dryly.
There's no way, the two masters and apprentices have something serious to talk about, so they can't be cheeky and get up, right?
"How's it going, Master Ferry, how are you feeling tonight?"
"Not good." Lin Li glanced back with palpitations, and saw a group of pharmacists staring at him like hungry wolves, and suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp, Lin Li stood there, almost gritted his teeth and said: "The bastard is the master!" ”
"......" Anduin almost didn't catch his breath.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master, this is not your ......" Lin Li suddenly remembered that there was not only one master in this banquet hall, especially the old master next to him, who had been famous for decades...... "How is it, Master Ferry, are you very annoyed?" As if in revenge, Anduin bit the word "master" very hard.
"Yes."
"Actually, it's not a big deal, when I just broke through the legendary realm, I was almost the same as you, it was like overnight, there were countless people showing favor to you, Anriel's world is so realistic, once a person becomes famous, this is the inevitable result."
"And how did you deal with it?"
"It's very simple, they are willing to woo, you let them win over, they are willing to show goodwill, you let them show goodwill, anyway, as long as you don't express your position, no one will offend, naturally no one will come to embarrass you, what benefits you may receive, what is cheap you may occupy, but there is one thing you must remember that before you make up your final decision, you must maintain absolute neutrality, and must not take sides, this is quite important, this requires you to make a decision for a day, they will always have a chance!"
"Are they that stupid?"
"Let's see, maybe they're even more stupid than you think......" Anduin glanced at the big people in the banquet hall, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Tonight's banquet is just the beginning, and when you return to the Magic Guild, you will really feel how enthusiastic these people are......"
“……”
"By the way, what did Balbo just tell you?"
"What else can ......" Lin Li pursed his lips and repeated what Balbo said.
"The Book of Ten Thousand Laws?" When he heard this, Anduin suddenly frowned: "I really didn't expect that the Book of Ten Thousand Spells is actually in Balbo's hands, but unfortunately, you kid is too dead-eyed, if you are willing to join the Apothecary Guild, plus the Book of Ten Thousand Spells in Hoffman's hand, even if you don't break through the legendary realm, I can rest assured that you can go to the Breeze Plain......"
"It's not that you don't know, I've always been thin-skinned, and I can't do some things."
"Forget it, put the Book of Ten Thousand Laws in advance, and then figure out a way later."
Anduin was indeed not wrong, this night's banquet, Lin Li completely became the protagonist, hundreds of pharmacists, whether they knew each other or not, all gathered around Lin Li, all kinds of courtesy, all kinds of means, even an old fox like Anduin was a little overwhelmed.
…………………… It wasn't until late at night that the banquet gradually dispersed, and the two masters and apprentices dragged their tired bodies, but instead of returning to the accommodation arranged for them by the Apothecary Guild, they quietly left the Apothecary Guild and went straight to the twilight forest of the city.
In the middle of the forest stands a towering tower.
Adventurers throughout the Kingdom of France know that the most dangerous thing in the Twilight Forest is not the monsters, but the tower in the middle of the forest, because the owner of that tower is none other than the legendary mage Anduin.
"Alright, boy, don't sleep yet." As soon as he entered the gate of the tower, Anduin began to interrogate: "While the time is still early, you first tell me about the things you have encountered in this month, I see that your kid is not very normal, I haven't seen you for a month, how dare you break through the realm of the Great Magician?" ”
"What's wrong with this...... Lin Li pursed his lips, and he didn't say anything polite to Anduin, so he found a chair and sat down.
"Don't think I'm joking with you, magic is a very dangerous thing, and an abnormal ascension is likely to make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Really?" Lin Li looked at Anduin's face, it didn't seem to be a joke, and he couldn't help but be frightened by him for a while, and with a little apprehension, he told him what he had encountered during this period of time, starting from the trial mission in the Shadow Valley, all the way to the Eternal Forge in Fire Feather Mountain, of course, the focus must be the breakthrough in the Eternal Furnace.
"No wonder ......" Anduin heard this, and suddenly realized on his face, looking at Lin Li's eyes, he was already faintly afraid: "It's a miracle that your kid can live until now!" ”
"What's wrong?" Hearing Anduin's serious words, Lin Li couldn't help but be a little scared.
"What's wrong? I'll tell you, you're going to be in big trouble......" Anduin smiled and gloated: "I'm still hesitating at night, I want to keep you here for a few days, now it's okay, I don't have to hesitate, there is no such thing as Orlana, you don't even think about it!" ”
