"Not now, I'll talk about it when I come back......" Lin Li finished speaking, the person was already in the corridor, and hurried to the guild reception room on the way, and as soon as he walked through the door, he saw Kevin walking around restlessly.

The person in charge of receiving Kevin is a great magician, it seems that the name is Stuan or Stuan, before going to the Valley of the Shadows to try his face, Lin Li had met him twice, and knew that this was also one of the important figures of the Orlana Magic Guild, and his status should be similar to Dalyan.

It seems that although Medellín didn't say anything, he still took this matter quite seriously.

"Mr. Stun, can you tell me when Ferrey will be able to return?"

"This ......" The archmage hesitated for a moment, "Seriously, I don't know, Ferry's trial mentor is Mr. Medellin, and we are not qualified to ask about his whereabouts except for Mr. Medellin......"

"But......" Kevin opened his mouth, his expression unusually anxious.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Stun." After Lin Li entered the door, he first said hello to the Great Wizard, and then turned around: "Long time no see, Kevin." ”

"Good...... Long time no see. Kevin looked surprised: "Ferry, when did you come back?" ”

"Ferret, you're finally back, your friend has been here for two days, and he's coming to me every day, and if you don't come back, I'm going to ask for someone from Mr. Medellin." Stoon was a good-natured gentleman, and after laughing and joking a few words, he opened the door and walked outside the reception room: "Okay, you talk slowly, I still have some business, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Stun."

After sending Gryffindor away, Lin Li turned around and asked with a puzzled expression, "Kevin, what happened?" ”

"Something is wrong...... hasn't seen him for more than a month, Kevin seems to be much haggard than before, his hair looks messy, and his eyes are bloodshot: "Tu ...... Demon Slayer Valley lost ......"

Lin Li frowned, in the face of this sudden bad news, he didn't seem to be so panicked, in fact, he had already been mentally prepared on the way here, since Kevin appeared in Orana, then there must have been an accident on Garros's side, and it was definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise with Graian's strong surname, Kevin would never be allowed to come to Orlana to find himself.

At first, he even thought it was Grean who had an accident.

But it's okay...... Although the Demon Slayer Valley is important, it is nothing if you lose it, and you can get it back when you have time.

So he just asked in a deep voice, "What did the Nest of Shadows do?" ”

"Yes......" Kevin nodded, leaning back in his chair a little weakly, "It's been less than a month since you left, and the people of the Nest of Shadows attacked the Valley of the Demons. ”

"They used to attack a lot, why didn't they hold it this time?" Lin Li was a little puzzled, the Nest of Shadows coveted the Valley of the Demon Slayer, which was well known in Garros, and he would be ready to move almost every month, in Grean's words, it was even more punctual than Old Merlin's Great Aunt.

Whether Old Merlin has a great aunt or not, this matter is not subject to it for the time being, anyway, the Nest of Shadows has not succeeded once in the past ten years, why is it so coincidental this time, he has just left Garros, and they have taken away the Demon Slayer Valley?

"This time...... This time......" Kevin hesitated slightly, as if he didn't know where to start, and after about a minute or so, Lin Li heard his voice come again: "This time is different, their combat effectiveness is much stronger than before, if it weren't for the fact that they recognized a few old acquaintances in the battle, I would even think that it was another force that attacked the Demon Slayer Valley." ”

"Much stronger?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment, but then reacted: "You mean, they got better equipment?" ”

The improvement of combat effectiveness is nothing more than two aspects, stronger personal strength, better equipment, in this kind of battle with hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, unless it is a complete level suppression, personal strength can be said to be insignificant, not to mention that the breakthrough of personal strength is not an overnight thing, what is the reason for hundreds of thousands of people to break through at the same time?

The most direct and effective is actually in the equipment.

Especially when the level is low, a set of junk equipment and a set of sophisticated equipment are completely different concepts, for example, a magician who has just broken through the fifth level, if you give him dozens of scrolls and dozens of bottles of potion, and then put on a void robe, he can casually kill more than a dozen magicians of the same strength.

So when he heard that the combat power of the Nest of Shadows had exploded, the first reaction that popped into Lin Li's mind was that there was something wrong with their equipment!

"Yes......" Kevin nodded, with a painful expression on his face: "I can't believe that they have so much magic equipment in their hands, it can almost be said that they have one in their hands, and all of them are holding the Frost Demon Sword Fire Flame Demon Sword, by the way!" And the Blade of Annihilation...... I've never seen so much magic equipment when I'm this big, and I've even ...... They even have a team of heavily armored warriors, I don't know what kind of metal the armor they wear is made of, they are like monsters, and the magic below level 5 is blasted up, and it doesn't hurt them at all......"

"Chongkai warrior?" When Lin Li heard this, he was slightly stunned, for him who was proficient in forging, magic equipment was nothing remarkable, what Frost Demon Sword, Fire Flame Demon Sword, what Annihilation Blade, the name was scary, with Lin Li's current forging level, he could forge this level of magic equipment just by giving him a few pieces of scrap iron.

The only ones who really caught his attention were the heavily armored warriors.

The consumption of heavy armor warriors is notoriously high, just a set of heavy armor forged from fine iron, at least tens of thousands of gold coins, not to mention the magic surname given to this set of heavy armor, as well as the expensive maintenance costs in the future, it is no exaggeration to say that the money consumed by a heavy armor warrior is not much worse than that of a magician.

There are many mercenary groups in the Kingdom of France, and there are not a few of them who are very rich, but those who can really afford to raise heavy armored warriors are only the Silver Hand family, and the Silver Hand has successfully occupied the position of one of the three major mercenary groups in Orlana with this combat power.

The Nest of Shadows is in the Kingdom of Fran, at most it is a third-rate force, why do they do this?

Moreover, this doesn't seem to be an ordinary heavy armored warrior...... "Kevin, are those heavy armored warriors you are talking about completely immune to magic below level 5, or do they occasionally resist?" If you think about it, it's important. ”

"Total resistance." Kevin's tone was affirmative.

"Sure enough, ......" Lin Li nodded, and didn't continue to say anything, but he already had some doubts in his heart, armor that completely resisted magic below level five was not a big deal, and in the design drawings that Lin Li knew, there were at least several that could achieve such an effect.

But it was precisely because of this that he became more and more confused.

Those few design drawings in my memory at least need a high-level blacksmith, the nest of shadows is just a third-rate force, so what ability can I dig up a high-level blacksmith? What's more, these design drawings are all expensive goods, and they are tens of thousands of gold coins at every turn, and the group of outlaws in the Nest of Shadows really want so much money, and they still need to covet the Demon Slayer Valley all day long? They had already rushed to Garros City in droves to save the young women who had lost their footing...... "Is Ysera okay?" Lin Li thought for a long time, and suddenly asked inexplicably.

"Huh?" Kevin looked dumbfounded, he couldn't understand at all, how could Ferrey suddenly ask such a sentence, the Nest of Shadows has captured the Valley of the Demon Slayer, and it has nothing to do with Ysera's good or not?

However, after being stunned for a while, Kevin still answered honestly: "He didn't suffer any losses, just robbed a caravan, but to be honest, he really helped a lot this time, not to mention supporting all kinds of supplies, and even the magicians of the Mannis family sent twenty to us, if it weren't for their help, we might not be able to hold out for even a week." ”

"Twenty magicians?" Lin Li nodded, ruling out Isera's suspicions.

At first, he really thought that the Mannes family was behind this.

Don't look at the time when he left Garros, the Mannis family and the Magic Guild were like a family, Lin Li knew very well in his heart, this was just because there was no chance, if there was a chance to dominate Garros, the Men family would not let it go, and Ysera would not be polite.

The matter is obvious, with the current strength of the Magic Guild, plus the various potions left before he left, the Nest of Shadows has no chance at all, if it weren't for this, Lin Li wouldn't be so relieved.

But it's only been more than a month, and Kevin came to tell himself that the Demon Slayer Valley was lost, and if no one supported the Nest of Shadows behind this, who would believe it?

This attack of the Nest of Shadows smelled of money from beginning to end, whether it was a magic weapon or a magic armor, it could be said that it was something that was burned with money.

And in the whole Garros City, who would be so rich? No doubt...... The Mannis family, and the little white-faced Ysera.

So after Lin Li listened, the first one suspected Isera's head.

But listening to the meaning of Kevin's words, it doesn't seem to be the case...... Ysera is also a young talent, supporting the Nest of Shadows and the Magic Guild on the other, this kind of left-handed fight with right hand, similar to the legendary stupid thing of fighting left and right, Lin Li believes that he can't do it.

Even if it is to dispel the vigilance of the Magic Guild and reserve a way back for himself, there is no need to work so hard, twenty magicians are not a joke, Garros is not Orana, the great magicians can be seen every day, since the disappearance of old Merlin, there is only one great magician in Garros, that is President Gray, the strength of the magician-level can already be regarded as a top powerhouse, Isera did this, it can be said that he really made a bloody investment, it seems that he is still determined to stand on the side of the Magic Guild...... But who but the Mannes family can afford so much money? Lin Li thought about it and filtered the seventeen forces of Garros one by one, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of one with this strength.

"Is it an alien force?" When this thought suddenly popped up, even Lin Li himself was taken aback.

If this is really a foreign force coveting the Demon Slayer Valley, things will be much more complicated.

One of the seventeen forces of Garros supports the Nest of Shadows, and it is barely reasonable, maybe it is to fight the Magic Guild, maybe it is to compete for the supremacy of Garros, in short, no matter what the reason, it is barely worth their large amount of money in exchange, but what do the foreign forces want?

Even if they hit the Magic Guild, they won't be able to reap any benefits, Garros City has always maintained eighteen forces for thousands of years, and the first position is also occupied by these eighteen forces in turn.

This is like the change of the royal family of the High Elves in the Dark Ages, for thousands of years, the royal power has always been controlled by the six royal families with the blood of the Sun King, no matter how they kill each other, the final winner must be the descendants of the Sun King, as long as the power of the final winner is enough to deter the other royal families, the other royal families will be happy and waiting for the next opportunity.

But if the one who won the throne was not a descendant of the Sun King, or even a high elf, then the result was naturally conceivable...... No High Elf would be able to allow himself to be ruled by someone other than the descendants of the Sun King, and if this really happened, the entire High Elf dynasty would completely riot, and all the High Elves would use all their strength to pull this usurper off the throne.

The situation with Garros is similar to this...... There are eighteen forces crowded in a remote town, which is really too much, whether it is the six underground forces or the eleven magic families, other foreign forces will never be allowed to intervene again.

At such a time, if there is an external force attacking the Magic Guild, they will be happy to watch the excitement from the side, and when the Magic Guild is completely disabled, they will express their deep feelings while secretly thinking about how to use this opportunity to reap the benefits.

But if this foreign force still wants to reach into Garros City after fighting the Magic Guild, then the leaders of the other seventeen forces are not so easy to discuss.

Put your hand into Garros, but it will bleed.

As for those really powerful forces, they are strong enough to destroy the eighteen forces of Garros with a wave of their hands, and I am afraid they will not look down on this place of Garros again.

Either way, there shouldn't be outside forces supporting the Nest of Shadows.

But Lin Li thought about it, but he couldn't think of any other possibility, the seventeen forces of Garros had been eliminated by him, and the Nest of Shadows did not have this ability, could it be that this foreign force was not actually looking at Garros, but the place in the Demon Slayer Valley?

If that's the case, then that part of the Demon Slayer Valley will have to be re-evaluated...... How could a force that could provide so much magical equipment to the Nest of Shadows look down on a few rare veins, or the herbs growing on the mountains? They want more than that.

"How's the guild going?" After a moment of silence, Lin Li asked about the current situation of the Magic Guild.

In fact, for Lin Li, this is what he cares about the most.

A place like the Demon Slayer Valley, if you lose it, you will lose it, and if you have time to get it back, except for a wealthy behind-the-scenes strength, there is not much worth paying attention to, but it is the recent situation of the Garros Magic Guild, which makes Lin Li's heart lift, for him, the Garros Magic Guild is like another home, whether it is the sweary Gray, or the calm and old Kevin, or the group of magicians in the guild who see the wind and rudder, and are afraid that Gray is afraid like a mouse seeing a cat, have become an indispensable part of life.

If something happens to the Garros Magic Guild, what's the point of retaking the Demon Slayer Valley?

"We retreated early and didn't suffer too many casualties."

"Where's the old fellow?"

"Uncle Grean has a minor injury, but it's not a big problem, and I'm almost fine before I came." When Kevin said this, his expression was a little unnatural, but he covered it up well, and he had just lost the Demon Slayer Valley, so his face was not very good, so that Lin Li, a careful person, couldn't even find out.

"That's good." Lin Li nodded, and then sat down with confidence: "By the way, Kevin, are you free these days?" ”

"Of course I am." Kevin smiled, but his face still looked a little haggard: "Uncle Gray's meaning is to let me wait for you to finish the trial mission, and then go back to Garros with you, so that there will be a good response on the way." ”

"The old guy is quite careful this time......" Lin Li praised Graian rarely, and then continued: "Then I'll help you find a place to live first, and then go back together after we're done with things at the end of the month." ”

"Yes."

After talking to Kevin for a while, Lin Li finally put his mind at ease, he just lost a demon slaying valley, it was not a big deal, Lin Li was in a happy mood, and took Kevin out for a meal again, but Kevin's mood was completely different from Lin Li's, he had a sad face when eating, no matter what Lin Li said, he didn't react much, at most, he just smiled reluctantly when he asked in a hurry.

"I said Kevin, don't you always take that little matter in the Demon Slayer Valley to heart, okay......" On the way back to the Magic Guild, Lin Li explained him all the way: "Isn't the Nest of Shadows just relying on equipment?" Don't worry, unless you don't go back to Garros, as soon as you go back, I'll get a batch of equipment as soon as I go, and then you can pinch them as much as you want. ”

Probably only Lin Li himself knew that he was really not talking nonsense.

For a pervert who is proficient in the skills of the five systems, magic equipment is the least thing to worry about, to put it mildly, even if a piece of scrap iron reaches his hand, as long as he is willing to point a little with his finger, this piece of scrap iron can become a good piece of magic equipment.

It's just a nest of shadows, and Lin Li really didn't take them seriously...... "No, Ferry." However, Kevin still had a worried face: "You haven't experienced that battle yourself, you won't understand, the current Nest of Shadows is really terrifying......"

"Forget it......" Lin Li thought about it, and found that he really couldn't communicate with this pessimistic guy, so he simply didn't explain: "Anyway, it's not a few days, you can live in Orlana with peace of mind, and I'll explain to you slowly when you return to Garros." ”

"Yes."

After returning to the Magic Guild, Lin Li first took Kevin to his residence to settle down first, and after helping him introduce him to Masson Ouling, he hurriedly went to find Medellin again.

The reason why I went to find Medellin was because Lin Li remembered that before going to the reception room just now, the old guy seemed to have something to tell him, and secondly, because he wanted to help Kevin find a place to live.

Besides...... Sheehan's snoring is louder than magic, Kevin must not be able to share a room with him, when the time comes, squeeze in, can he sleep in the living room like himself? That's a bit too unusual...... As soon as Lin Li entered the door, he saw the old guy staring at him with an unhappy face, and for a while, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little weak: "Why are you ......?"

"What, why do you dare to ask Lao Tzu?" The old guy's eyes widened, and he was so angry that his goatee was cocked: "Damn, it's just a matter of discussing something with you, you dare to let Lao Tzu wait for you for a morning, do you have a surname ......?"

"Isn't there something wrong with me...... Lin Li really had a big head for a while, this old guy's surname is really the same as a child, and he was busy comforting at the moment: "Come on, come on, don't be so angry, you are a lot old, don't you know the truth that fire hurts the liver?" Besides, you are also a person with status and status, you have to pay attention to the image, do you understand the image? Come on, tell me what the hell is going on, I'll do my best to ...... if I can help."

"It's almost ......" got Lin Li's promise, and Medellin smiled with satisfaction: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask you if you are sure about this final." ”

"Finals?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't quite understand why the old guy was so dignified, why he suddenly asked this.

"Damn......" Medellin saw Lin Li's blank expression, and immediately became angry, gritted his teeth and scolded there, and then taught with a bit of hatred: "Can't you little bastard be a little angry?" Look at the Gryffindors, and then look at the Sarsons, who have a chance to win the final victory, which one of them is not working hard in the morning, and they all want to move their family into the All-Knowing Tower? Even Masson's scrap wood knows how to be motivated, you little bastard is good, it's a week to go, do you still want to win? ”

"Why don't I want to win......"

"You want to win?" Medellin almost snorted through his nose: "Tell me Lao Tzu, how many times have you been to the Tower of Omniscience since you got the pass?" ”

"This ......" For a while, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little weak, now that he thinks about it, after he got the pass to the All-Knowing Tower, it seems that he hasn't been there a few times, but no matter how weak his heart is, this guy refuses to admit it: "I don't remember how many times I've been there, anyway, I've been there many times." ”

"Forget it, Lao Tzu didn't care about you in the past, I tell you very seriously now, from tomorrow, you are not allowed to go anywhere, while there is still time, Lao Tzu must teach you personally, lest Anduin say that Lao Tzu is not responsible for his disciples, you should work hard yourself, unless you can break through the realm of the Great Magician, otherwise Lao Tzu's teaching to you will last for a long, long time......"

"......" Lin Li rolled his eyes, he was really embarrassed to tell the old guy that he had broken through the Great Wizard realm.

"What, you're not convinced?"

"No, no, no, I'm convinced...... But I'm curious, you never cared about me before, why did you suddenly become like this today? ”

"Damn, can I not be in a hurry!" It's okay for Lin Li not to ask, but under this question, Medellin suddenly burst into a rage: "Lao Tzu only learned today that Gryffindor kid had already broken through the realm of the Great Magician a few days ago, damn this kid is really not a thing, he actually quietly became a Great Magician, and he has been hiding it from Lao Tzu, if it weren't for Lao Tzu being well-informed, you would probably suffer a big loss in this final!" ”

"Gryffindor has also broken through the Archmage realm?" Lin Li was taken aback, although as early as the last dinner, he had a faint feeling that Gryffindor was almost fundamentally different from the other trial mages beside him, but at that time, he was still only close to the strength of the peak of the mage, and he didn't expect that he had already taken the final step after only a few days, and reached the realm of the Great Mage that most mages dreamed of.

Such an improvement speed, even Lin Li felt a little incredible, no wonder Medellin would be irritable after hearing about it, the apprentice's trial results, but directly related to the face of the trial master, if he loses to Gryffindor, in the future, Medellin in front of Gryffindor's trial master, it is estimated that he will not even be able to raise his head.

"What do you mean by breaking through the Great Wizard realm?" Lin Li's inadvertent words made Medellin feel a little awkward.

"This ...... I mean, Gryffindor is worthy of being the number one magic genius of Flange, and it is really admirable that he has broken through the realm of the Great Wizard so quickly! Lin Li vaguely pulled away the topic, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, it seems that this Flange No. 1 magic genius is really not a joke...... "Admire a bird!" Medellin burst out with a dirty word: "What is there to admire, damn Lao Tzu has lived for such an age, I have never seen anyone with better magical talent than you, Gryffindor is nothing, he is only just breaking through the realm of magicians at your age, you just need to work a little harder, there is no problem at all to catch up with him." ”

"You really think of me......"

"Nonsense, do you think Lao Tzu's trial apprentice can be any cat or dog, if you don't think you are talented, Lao Tzu would have taught others to ......" Medellin scolded and stood up from the chair: "Go, now follow me to the spell testing hall, Lao Tzu will teach you well." ”

"Don't you want to be in a hurry like this......" Lin Li rolled his eyes, and at Medellin's urging, he still had to follow him honestly to the spell testing hall.

(To be continued)
