Chapter 308 - Mayor’s Visitation
Actually, Lin Li was not really keen on attaining the demon monarch’s treasure. Since 1300 years had already passed, who knew if the treasure hadn’t been dug out by some other people? Furthermore, it did not sound credible that a demon monarch would have a thing for collecting magical metals. Even though Connoris was really serious in telling him that, Lin Li was just treating him as though he was saying a fairy tale. The threat he gave Connoris was just a joke…
Yet, as he heard more of it, Lin Li could not help but feel surprised. Apparently, Connoris was really not joking this time. He talked about the location of the treasure and the types of magical metals really seriously. Lin Li had to believe in his words.
“It can’t be so powerful. Connoris, are you joking?”
“I don’t have time to joke with you. Do you think that Saradus’ collection is a joke? Let me tell you—this is a really rare opportunity that you might not meet in a hundred years. Don’t regret it when you think of it next time…”
“Are you sure…?” Lin Li glanced at Connoris skeptically. “I say, the mighty Soul Trader, why are you so passionate in sharing it with me this time?”
“Erm, hehe…” Connoris smiled hideously. “It’s nothing. Just because there are not only magical metals in Saradus’ treasury. There is something else there that interests me…”
“What is it?”
“Just a small matter…”
“Hehe, to think of it now, I realize I haven’t gotten the chance to thank you. Mage Felic, you are a big savior to Black Clouds Town. If you hadn’t been around, we would have faced great damage last night. Mage Felic, if you face any troubles here, please don’t mind telling me. I would be able to render some help to you…” Alexir said ingratiatingly. Then, he tried to squeeze out a worried expression.
“However, I’m not sure if I should tell you this, Mage Felic…”
“What is it?”
“Erm…” Alexir frowned, and hesitated dramatically before he continued, “Mage Felic, after you finish what you wanted to do, please leave Black Clouds Town quickly…”
Lin Li frowned, and asked, “So Mayor Alexir doesn’t really welcome me here?”
“N-no, no, no. That’s not it. I didn’t mean that…”
“Then what did you mean, Mayor Alexir?”
“Mage Felic, it is not that the Black Clouds Town doesn’t welcome you. It’s actually for your own good. Do you know that the man you’ve killed last night was an important man in the Syer Bandits? They would not let you go easily. Although you are very powerful, if the people in Syer Bandits were to return to get revenge on you, you might—”
“Important person?” Lin Li could not help but interrupt Alexir with his laughter. Now he knew why the man would visit him. What important figure was he talking about? Did Alexis think he was a fool? Just that Marko, a level-10 guy? How could he be somebody of importance? If that was so, the revenge by the Syer Bandits would be nothing to be fearful of…
“Mage Felic, since you’re from Alanna, you might not know how powerful the Syer Bandits are. They are ranked in the top 10 of the bandit organizations in the Breezy Plains. They have thousands of core members, and this is not including the external members scattered in different corners of the Breezy Plains…”
