Chapter 296 - Departure
Lin Li had long predicted the people’s reaction. This was exactly what he wanted—he wanted for them to be unsure of him and fear him. This was the only way he could curb the ambitions of Jarrosus’ 16 leaders and protect the Emerald Tower, for he would soon leave this place…
Early next day, when everyone was still asleep, Lin Li donned his robe and called upon Norfeller, who had stood outside the tent guarding the whole night. The pair quietly returned to the underground palace, and retrieved the Gem of Curse which kept the disaster energy field going. Then, without alerting anyone, they swiftly returned to the misty Jarrosus on a carriage…
The Emerald Tower was empty save for a few young apprentices and Kevin who stayed behind to guard the place. Kevin yawned as he perused the level certifications that had just been submitted, and was visibly stunned when he saw Lin Li walk in.
“Uncle Gerian didn’t return with you? ”
“Nope…” Lin Li said as he casually pulled over a chair. “Your uncle said that the Demon Fall Valley is a pretty good place, so he’s got plans to stay…”
“…”
“Alright, enough of the jokes…” Lin Li turned serious after cracking a joke at Gerian’s expense. “Your uncle had me tell you to send some horses over to the Demon Fall Valley, he’s got some stuff he wants to bring back.”
Herza sat next to Lin Li as he introduced the sights outside the window as well as the situation in the Breezy Plains. He also told him about the provisions the Supreme Council gave him this time.
Without a doubt, the Supreme Council was very generous this time indeed.
Besides the necessary provisions, they assigned an Archmage to come by later to assist the President on matters of the council.
Is he sent to monitor me? Lin Li frowned rather discreetly upon hearing this.
