Chapter 249 - The Curse
After comforting Mason, Lin Li turned to look at the two Magic Shooters. “Sorry, guys, this is my friend. He broke the guild rules as he had some urgent matters.”
“Oh, so he is a friend of Mage Felic…”
How would the two Magic Shooters not know who Felic was? He was the man who’d won against Macklin in the arena, and the youngest Archmage of Alanna Guild of Magic. They even heard how a few Archmages commented that Felic was going to rise above Gryffindor eventually.
How could the two men continue to stop Mason when Felic started to apologize to them? They gathered all their smiles and explained to Lin Li apologetically, “We’re sorry, Mage Felic, we did not know he was your friend. You know we are stickers to the guild rules. As we did not mean to do it on purpose, please do not mind us…”
“I understand…” Lin Li assured the two Magic Shooters. He knew what they were thinking about, yet could not help but feel amused by their actions. He was not Matthias, so how would he take such minor things to heart? He laughed it off and brought Mason to the side.
“Brother Mason, tell me clearly. What exactly happened to Orrin?”
“It is terrible!!!” Mason gasped, and started explaining, “When we woke up this morning, we realized you were at the Omniscient Tower already. Hence, me and that pretty boy were discussing going to the arena to train. To be honest, I’ve learned a powerful spell recently, so I was hoping to try it with him. Who’d expect that we’d met Gryffindor and his friend at the arena too…”
“To find someone,” Lin Li replied as he gave the crystal card to Macklin. “Go and find any mage apprentice. Tell him to go to any Glittergold Bank to find Mr. Hoffman for Felic. Say that I would be waiting for him at the Guild of Magic.”
“Alright…” Macklin received the crystal card and headed off to find Hoffman uneasily. He really did not believe a crystal card could bring Hoffman over. Despite that, he was going to try whatever he could to rescue Orrin. If Hoffman was not able to save him, Orrin would really die in Alanna Guild of Magic this time.
Not long after he left, Macklin stopped in his tracks again, and asked, “Then where are you going?”
“The curse on Orrin is too powerful. I’m going to find a priest to help.”
“Priest? How would there be any other priests in Alanna after that bastard, Raleigh, returned to the Brilliance Shrine…?”
“I will explain to you when I come back…” Lin Li said as he left the treatment room in a hurry.
After exiting the guild hall, Lin Li called for a coach to send him in the direction of Dawn Cathedral immediately. It was the only cathedral in Alanna with the Brilliance Shrine. If Lin Li did not remember wrongly, when Archbishop Englos had talked to him the other time, he told Lin Li to look for him there if he were to face any difficulty in the coming month.
“Goddammit, now I owe two favors. I’m not going to let you off, Gryffindor!”
