Chapter 727 - Man of Honor
“Felic, did you manage to see anything?” Andoine asked Lin Li worriedly. Now, this trust for Lin Li had risen to a new level. His knowledge in pharmaceutics had surpassed that of the Pharmacist Guild, his skills in forging had overpowered the Adventurers Guild, and he had displayed plenty of understanding of magic gears. Andoine did not know what this student of his could not achieve.
Lin Li made eye contact with Angelano before he glanced back. “It seems to be peaceful in here, but there are traps everywhere. A little bit of carelessness would bury us here.”
The crowd was not surprised by Lin Li’s words. Although they did not understand the designs within the palace, they could sense the need to take precautions. Even Rosen, who always liked to target Lin Li, only moved his lips and said nothing.
Lin Li and Angelano were considered to have the most understanding of magic gears and magic traps. Hence, the two of them continued to walk in front of the team. They were in charge of detecting the traps that were hidden in the midst of all the luxurious furnishings. Although Lin Li had a very comprehensive knowledge, and Angelano had deep understanding about Osric, neither of them dared to take the matter lightly.
It was definitely not an exaggeration to say that the team was moving slower than a snail. Lin Li and Angelano took a day to overcome a dozen magic traps, and the team had only advanced a dozen meters. Although nothing happened across those dozen meters, everyone took each step with trepidation. It was as though they were wandering between life and death at every moment.
Each time Lin Li and Angelano discovered a magic trap, everyone in the team had their heart raised to their throat. No one dared to take a deep breath for fear that they would affect Lin Li’s and Angelano’s focus when solving the magic trap. They could guess that the traps left behind by Osric were definitely not any low-level magic arrow traps. If they were activated, no one in the team would be able to escape doom.
As compared to the rest of the people in the team, Lin Li and Angelano showed no signs of nervousness as they tried to solve each of the traps. They had seemingly light-hearted discussions around each of the traps. Of course, being light-hearted did not mean that they were belittling the lethality of the traps. Their calmness helped them to look at the problems more holistically. Lin Li absolutely did not wish to bury his life here by committing a mistake at a critical moment.
“This Quick-Freeze Trap is a creation of mine. This trap would be able to freeze anyone below the Legendary-level when activated. Since Osric used the trap here, I bet he did not expect that I would come here one day,” Angelano commented proudly to Lin Li upon recognizing the trap.
