Chapter 391 - Red Leopard
It was probably also because of such ordinariness that Lin Li did not pay him much attention right from the beginning.
But now, it was definitely different. How could Lin Li not figure out the truth behind this middle-aged mage when Lin Li knew that he was the key role of the plan?
“Eh…?” Who knew that this glance would immediately cause Lin Li to be rather shocked. This middle-aged man was indeed somewhat weird. He had actually concealed his power like Lin Li!
Furthermore, his method of concealing his power was rather brilliant. Even with Lin Li’s powerful mental strength, he had thought that he was genuinely a level-10 mage at the beginning. If it was any other person, they would not know how this level-10 mage had transformed and changed into a genuine Archmage even when they were dead.
Luckily, Lin Li had asked Reggie…
“Ok, it’s fine now. Leave first.” Lin Li waved his hand, signaling to Reggie that he could leave. But before he left, Lin Li again reminded, “If you don’t want to stir trouble, it’s best that you pretend that nothing happened.”
Reggie nodded. “Ok, I know what to do.”
In response, Adelo shook his head, and said, “I’m fine. The two of you, hurry and slay this Red Leopard. It most likely came from the Scar of Death.”
Seems like this Adelo knows quite a lot… Lin Li slowly dissipated the mana he had gathered. He became even more curious about the status of that Adelo. There was at least one thing that Lin Li could confirm—it was that this Adelo did not have the same status as Emendas. He was very likely a core member of the Malfa Family, the type that could be involved in the deepest secrets…
Lin Li even felt that this Adelo was very likely related to the Legendary-mage of the Malfa Family…
If that was the case, then it would be very interesting to enter the Scar of Death this time…
At the same time, when Lin Li was dissipating his mana, one of the Warriors wielding a machete charged towards the Red Leopard with a raging Combat Energy. Amidst the low and furious roars, glints of the blade flashed by. In an instant, both the man and beast were clashing with each other.
He really is a level-17 warrior… Once he saw that raging Combat Energy, Lin Li knew that he’d made the right guess. As expected, these two Warriors that seemed like they did not know each other were Adelo’s true bodyguards. Reggie’s group of four might be very famous amongst the adventurers, but their strength was only at level-15. Furthermore, they were Bandits that were not good at face-to-face combat. Relying on them to barge into the Scar of Death was not practical. It was these two Warriors that seemed to be strangers that were the ones sent by the Malfa Family to protect Adelo.
“Move aside. You two pieces of trash, stop being a drag!” Just when Lin Li was staring blankly, another Warrior that was wielding a double-edged greatsword rushed over with his Combat Energy as well. It was just that this fella was more hot-tempered compared to his reserved companion. When he moved past Lin Li and Johnathan, he most likely felt that the two of them did not contribute much, so he even used a tone that had a mixture of contempt and disdain to scold them…
“…” Lin Li rubbed his nose, and obediently pulled Johnathan, moving back a few steps. There was no choice—you couldn’t possibly bite back if a dog bit you, right?
“Mage Felic, are you alright?” It was at this time that Reggie and the rest returned. When they saw what happened, Reggie was so frightened that his hair stood on its ends.
Of course, what scared him was not that Red Leopard…
Although that level-17 Red Leopard was powerful, if four level-15 and above Bandits were to team up, killing it was not difficult. What frightened Reggie was what that Warrior had said.
“F*ck, this fella really has some guts…”
