After leaving the academy, Lin Li's first task was to go home and settle down.

Although Lin Li didn't have any feelings for his family and William's relatives, since he inherited this body, he always had to put an end to the current predicament.

By the way, this place is Brandi in the southwest of the Viss Empire, a fringe city that is not prosperous.

"William" was not a wealthy family before, but he also ran several alchemy shops, at least he had no worries about food and clothing. The sudden disaster caused these alchemy shops to go bankrupt one after another, not to mention the compensation demanded by some employees who were specially engaged in trouble.

In those alchemy shops, there were originally a few alchemists, but after the accident, these alchemists moved away the most valuable materials in the store, which was called "compensation wages", and ordinary employees followed suit, leaving the originally wealthy warehouse empty. In the current storage room, even rats don't want to patronize it, so you can imagine what kind of situation it is.

You know, the expenses and profits of the alchemy shop are huge. In general, an alchemy shop is an alchemist, a pile of materials and a boss with a fat belly.

Lin Li walked into his alchemy shop, looking at this somewhat tattered appearance, but he was a little disappointed, and soon, he cleaned up the garbage on the ground.

A mage's weak body seemed to be unable to cope with the physical work at present, and Lin Li sat down in his chair tiredly, thinking about whether to hire a butler or a servant to help him.

Today, Lin Li rushed back from the academy, and he didn't even drink a sip of saliva, and then cleaned the shop again, he was really tired and half dead.

"Knock knock", Lin Li was just about to start sleeping, and a quick knock on the door sounded with vigorous momentum. At the same time, it was accompanied by a man's scream.

"Come with me, I heard that the little kid who died with his father and mother is back, everyone teaches him what it's like to owe money, and I'll invite everyone to drink when I get the money!"

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Lin Li stood up.

I saw that the man outside felt that it was too troublesome to knock on the door, and took a few steps back, "Come on, everyone rush in!"

Just as he was banging on the door, the door suddenly opened inward, and a magic hand slapped on the heads of the gangsters in front of him, and Lin Li yawned and walked out of the door.

Of course, although they were taken aback by the hand of magic, they all knew that Lin Li only had the strength of a mage apprentice, so they were not afraid.

"Hehe, what's the matter?"

The man outside had a fierce face and said, "I don't even know me anymore! Your parents borrowed 2,000 gold coins from me last time they were doing business, and today your kid is sent to the door, what are you going to do with it?"

"It turned out to be Uncle Fario, disrespectful. Lin Li still maintained a lazy demeanor, "I don't know what Uncle Fario plans to do?"

"Anyway, I'm also your cousin, if you really can't afford it, it's not negotiable, as long as you give me these alchemy shops, I won't let you pay back. ”

A smile bloomed at the corner of Lin Li's mouth, "Uncle Fario is really magnanimous. However, I refused. ”

Everyone knows the value of these alchemy shops on the main street. Not to mention a few thousand gold coins, even the price of tens of thousands, they may not be able to buy them. As long as there is an alchemist, the alchemy shop can be turned into a money-making machine again, at least so that ordinary people can have no worries about food and clothing. The price offered by Fario really fooled Lin Li as a fool.

Fario was full of confidence, although he was also frightened by that magic hand just now, but thinking of the large number of brothers who followed behind him, his waist hardened again.

"Do you think you still have a choice, we brothers are here to pretend today?" "Come, everyone, teach me a lesson, this stinky boy." ”

A group of thugs immediately walked towards Lin Li with bad intentions, and when the first thug slapped Lin Li.

A magic hand grabbed his hand, and Lin Li asked with a smile, "How familiar are you like pig's trotters?"

"What trotters!" the thug was calm, and shook his other hand directly.

"If you don't say it, I'll be fully cooked. The smile on Lin Li's face has not changed a point, it is still so bright. Next, there is a scene that makes the gangsters frightened.

A flame streaked across the thug's palm, and after a moment of stupefaction, he jumped to his feet, hugging his fiery "roast pig's trotters" with a twisted face.

The miserable situation of his companions, the piercing screams, made these people no longer able to keep their composure, after all, people have to think about themselves, even if they give Fario more money, what does it have to do with themselves?

"Dear cousin, what do you think I'm going to do to you now?" Lin Li asked Fario with two steps forward.

Fario stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at Lin Li, "Don't come here, what do you want to do, do you think that after a few days of learning magic, you won't be big or small? I'm your cousin!"

It's just that there is a bit of guilt in this anger after all.

"Come and get the money in a month, carry your people out, and don't bother me again. ”

"Okay, okay, even my cousin doesn't put it in his eyes, I'll come back then, and I'll see what you do then." After saying the cruel words, Fario immediately let his men run away with their companions on their shoulders.

In fact, in Lin Li's eyes, Fario's 2000 gold coins are not a big deal at all, Lin Li can ignore his attitude, and even don't care what the 2000 gold coins are, after all, the mage has too many resources to consume, and he always has to find a way to make money, 2000 gold coins is just a fraction of the money he will need in the future.

Moreover, the mage's time is too precious, in the eyes of a mage like Lin Li, ordinary people, such as Fario, are simply a pitiful species, and they don't have to bother at all, just pinch to death when they trouble themselves.

Being so troubled by Fario's gang, Lin Li's sleepiness was not much, so he simply got up and went to find something to do.

Probably, God didn't want Lin Li to spend the whole day peacefully.

A voice even more brutal than Fario shouted. "William, come out. ”

"What the hell are these people doing, how miserable this William was originally to be. Lin Li muttered a few words and walked to the door.

In between, a young mage wearing a black standard mage robe stood there, his eyes were facing the sky, judging from the texture on his sleeve, he probably had the strength of a first-level mage.

Seeing Lin Li come out, the young mage snorted and didn't speak.

And Lin Li, because he didn't know each other, also stood there quietly. After waiting for a long time, in the embarrassed big eyes, the young mage finally couldn't help it, "You won't forget me, will you?"

"Well, I'm sorry, I've had a bad memory lately, may I ask who you are?"

The young mage seriously confirmed Lin Li's eyes, and found that he really didn't remember himself, and he was immediately furious, originally wanted to come and see this stinky boy who had a difficult life, and by the way, find some superiority, who knew that this guy really didn't know himself. The feeling at the moment is absolutely uncomfortable, this sourness is indescribable.

"You have no conscience, I heard that you haven't been doing well lately, and I knew that you were going home, so I hurriedly ran over to see you, you don't know me anymore?"

After searching his memories, Lin Li finally remembered who the young magician in front of him was. The senior brother in the period of his own magic enlightenment, Lance who has known him since the magic kindergarten.

Both were apprentices in magic, and the status of William and Lance was very different. By the time William struggled to cross the threshold of a fifth-level magic apprentice, Lance had already managed to become a respected magician.

In terms of talent, Lance did throw off William several streets, but the biggest advantage of Lance is that he is familiar. When the two went to school together, Lance liked to get around and around, and once, Lance insisted that William recognize him as his eldest brother, at the cost of covering him, and he became familiar with each other, and Lance did help William come out a few times.

"It turned out to be Brother Lance, my memory has not been very good lately, don't mind. Lin Li beckoned, thinking that a magician should be of some use, and it was acceptable to trick him into working as a coolie.

"But you still have a little conscience, knowing that it is not easy for me, lead the way, go to the warehouse and have a look, I will help you deal with a little magic materials, so that you can pay off your debts quickly." ”

Lin Li only felt very speechless, is this person so familiar, he took a few steps and chased after him.

In addition to some nagging, this cheap big brother is really the best helper. The two walked into the warehouse, and Lance looked at the empty warehouse, dumbfounded.

He looked at Lin Li and saw that it was a very strange, a little distorted, a little surprised, and a little dumbfounded.
