Just after Landolia negotiated with the Shadow Beastmaster, she returned to Shadow Iron Town with Liu Li again, and saw Owen and Eve, who had returned together. Eve's process of collecting the basic materials was relatively smooth, at least the materials she brought were enough to meet the requirements of the absorption circle, and there was even a surplus. Owen also got a few high-end red materials from Wells, and the quality was not bad. However, this made Landolia very annoyed, when he met Wells in Eleno City before, the vice president heard him cry about poverty, and he thought that he still had so much inventory in his hands.

"Next time, I'll definitely dig out his small warehouse to see, I don't know what else is in it. Looking at his teacher's gritted teeth, Liu Li couldn't help but mourn for three seconds for his real teacher.

"Hey, Liu Li, fortunately, there are a lot of things. "When Liu Li explored the dark cave before, she found that Eve had become much more cheerful since solving Ian's problem, although her brother had left, but before leaving, he finally told her that William was still alive, and when the grief subsided a little, there was only the expectation of meeting William again. In fact, Liu Li also admires Ian's dedication to spells, especially after being influenced by the "Bones of Secret Words", after becoming the kind of person who is not a ghost or a ghost, no matter what kind of cruel words are released, he has never killed his sister.

"Thanks, Eve. It was not Liu Li who responded to Eve, but Landolia on the side, and the vice dean's response flattered the businesswoman. If there are people in the world who know Landolia's personality well, Eve is definitely one of them, she has never seen this female mage who is from the same school as her lover's teacher so pleasant. In fact, it's no wonder that Landoria, William has always been a teacher and friend to Wells, and Landolia did count William's disappearance on Eve because of the brother-sister relationship between Ian and Eve. But now that Ian has been ambushed and learned that William is not dead, he also feels a little guilty about this woman who has not given up waiting for so many years. In addition, he has just created a new way of structuring the magic circle, and when he is in a good mood, his attitude towards Eve is naturally much better.

When Landolia explained her plan to the people sitting together, a new problem arose - a lack of combat power. In fact, counting the "Gray Corner" mercenary group, there are two large mercenary teams stationed here in Shadow Iron Town - "Shadow Iron" and "Steel Blade". Among them, it can be seen from the name that the strength of the local team's "Shadow Iron" is slightly weaker, and the overall combat power of the team is about two-thirds of the "gray corner". However, "Steel Blade" is a large team that can be ranked in the forefront of the entire empire, and its strength is more than double that of "Gray Corner".

Liu Li had plans to hire them when he heard the Shadow Beast King say that he needed to find a way to defend against the absorption circle, but the most serious problem now was the shortage of spellcasters. The other small and medium-sized mercenary groups basically have no spellcasters, and the three large mercenary groups together will also have more than five fingers of casters - only six, and none of them will reach the strength of the mid-level.

Each of the five absorption circles scattered throughout the cave requires at least three or more beginner casters to rotate, plus five warriors and more than 100 ordinary mercenaries to protect them thoroughly. Counting the four warriors who did not belong to the mercenary group, Squirrel, Lin, Eve, and Bluman, the number was barely enough, but the vacancy of the caster made Landolia frown and at a loss.

"Teacher Landuo, can't you get support from the academy?" Liu Li made a suggestion, in fact, he didn't have much hope, if this road can work, Landolia naturally has no reason to give up, since she didn't do it, it proves that there are some problems during the period.

"Most of the junior students of the academy are still students, they have never experienced such a big scene, even those students who have reached the intermediate level in the senior rank, they don't have as much combat experience as you, I really don't feel at ease about entrusting such an important task to them. Landolia smiled bitterly and explained: "Originally, if it had been placed in the past, I could have asked some teachers to help, but some of it was transferred from the west before, and although it was supplemented to a certain extent later, the number was still not enough. Coupled with something like that last year, it's even more unlikely that they will leave the academy. ”

"Well, it would be nice if the old drunkard was by his side at such times. Landolia sighed.

"I think I hear someone calling me? Is that you, dear!" Hearing this, Liu Li thought he was having auditory hallucinations, until he saw the figure who pushed open the door and walked in, and realized that this was not an illusion. Wells was standing there, his red robe seemed to be gilded with a layer of gold in the setting sun, and the runes drawn by Mithril on the red robe also shimmered dazzlingly. On the two-meter-long wooden staff in his hand, the power contained in the magic crystal seemed to distort the space around him.

"I thought about it, and I thought that my student must have asked someone to ask me for high-end materials, and it must have been because he encountered something that even you couldn't solve, so he decided to come and have a look. Wells smiled, he could feel that his student had broken through to the second order, and he was naturally overjoyed. Although he had long known the ability of "innate omniscience", he did not expect Liu Li's promotion speed to reach such a level. This proves that his student is not only not lazy during this time, but even more diligent than he imagined, how can he not feel gratified.

"Well, you're here at the right time, and you really need your help here. Saying this, a chilling sneer appeared on Landolia's face, "But let's talk about the problem of your small warehouse first, I remember that you were still crying poor with me more than a year ago, and now you can actually come up with so many high-level materials to explain what is going on." ”

Even Liu Li could see that Landolia's performance was to cover up the weakness she had just shown and was discovered by her lover, but ...... For Wells, this level seems to be really difficult.

"Uh, Landuo, you listen to my explanation, there is actually a reason for this......" Wells was stunned, Liu Li saw that his teacher had just appeared with the glow of the setting sun, and the majestic high-level mage was so stunned, and sighed in his heart: "Is it really handsome for three seconds......

Ignoring the others, Landolia teleported directly to Wells in a black hole, twisted his ears, and then disappeared in front of everyone's eyes with a black hole teleportation again. Everyone in the lobby froze in place, not knowing how to react, including the members of the team of mid-level mages who had just entered the room with Wills on their faces and their entourage. Listening to the roar that belonged to the black hole witch faintly coming from upstairs, everyone was happy and smiled bitterly.

It had been more than two hours since I saw the two high-level mages again. If it weren't for the two high-level mages who had to come back to make mission arrangements, perhaps everyone would have made a fuss in the lobby of this innkeeper converted into a tavern, and they would be as hungry as they are now, and they wouldn't even have eaten dinner.

Everyone was maliciously speculating whether the two of them who had reunited after a long absence, were doing something shameless in the room, and seeing Landolia's radiant appearance at this time, they couldn't help but confirm their conjectures, as evidenced by Wells's use of the staff as a crutch and the movement of one hand still supporting his waist. However, none of you here dared to say anything, and they were still insensitive to this kind of death.

Wells brought a whole team of mid-level mages, that is, ten. It seems that his teacher is doing well on the front line, even if you don't look at these mid-level spellcasters, you can see from the high-spirited appearance when he just came in.

After more than two hours of contact, Liu Li and these middle-level mages had a simple understanding of each other. Knowing that Liu Li was the personal disciple of their respected team leader, and that they had studied under the well-known Black Hole Witch of the Empire for two years, the middle-level mages couldn't help but be in awe of Liu Li. Wells' students are pretty good, and being able to hold on for two years under the hands of the Black Hole Witch is definitely a feat in their hearts. Almost all of these mid-level mages had graduated from the Eleonor Academy of Magic thirty or forty years ago, and Landolia, who had become an instructor at the time, had left an indelible shadow on their fragile hearts.

"Hey, Will, how many of these boys under your command seem to be familiar?" Landolia hadn't carefully observed who Wells had brought before, but after a closer look, she realized that some of them were obviously students she had taught.

"Lan ...... Landot, Old ...... Teacher, I'm Heathman, Xie ...... Thank you, when ...... The original teachings. "Well, it seems that the one with the highest status other than Wells can't speak well, and Liu Li can't help but wonder how Landolia taught her students in the first place.

"Teacher Landuo, they seem to be very afraid of you?" Liu Li regretted it after speaking, and secretly scolded herself for starting to die again. He turned his attention for help to Wells, Squirrel and Lynn to a few acquaintances, only to find that whether it was his real teacher, Cat Lady and Lori, they had already turned their heads and made a look like they didn't care about themselves, and they almost whistled. Only Eve gave him a helpless and self-begging look.

"Hehe, I used to be very strict with my students, but now it seems that I am a little relaxed about your education. Don't worry, I'll fix it. Landolia admitted her "mistake", but her words made Liu Li's hairs stand on end, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out.

"Lan ...... Landot, Old ...... Teacher, no, I feel like it's fine now...... Pretty good. So Liu Li also fell into the same state as Hesman.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, eat first, and I'll talk about the task arrangement after eating. "If you don't consider the small black hole that still has saliva hanging on Liu Li's head, you may really think that the previous thing has been revealed. "Liu Li, you've just explained to them what we're going to do, right?"

"Yes, it has already been explained, Mr. Landuo, you can assign tasks directly. What did not match the serious tone was Liu Li's crying expression.

"Very good, the operation will take place in three days, tomorrow I still need to do some preparations, and you need to rest too. As for now...... Well, let's eat first. ”
