Chapter 223 - Shadow of the Darkness
“Ha ha…” Lin Li laughed dully. He did not say anything. He had already made up his mind. No matter what you’ve heard, I will not say anything.
Are you kidding me, how could I admit to something like that?
Admitting to all the trouble he’d caused was a small issue—he was just afraid that Andoine would be interested in the recipe. With his headstrong character, he would definitely think of a way to get Lin Li to teach him the recipe. Furthermore, this old man was a legendary powerhouse. The herbs required for the Catalytic Potion would only take him a few days to gather. Should his brain short-circuit at that time and he would like to find someone to play with him, what could he do? It would be a small issue if the pharmaceutical lab exploded, but if he blew up his old head, it would be a massive problem…
I will not admit it! I will not admit it even if it’s the death of me!
Lin Li did not say anything, and Balbo could not do anything as well. He could only pull a vine chair over and sit down. Then, he placed that glittering and translucent jade box on the table with a mysterious smile before he said, “Oh, yes. Andoine, let me show you something nice.”
“What something nice…”
“Take a look…” Balbo gently opened the box, and white mist immediately burst from it. After that, a chilling bone-piercing aura started to permeate the air. Even though he was inside this warm little room, Lin Li could not help but shiver.
“Hence, Mr. Great Soul Trader, I would have to inconvenience you for now.” After Lin Li spoke, he did not care about the screaming Connoris. He cut off his spiritual connection with the Ring of Endless Storm.
Without this trace of mental strength Connoris had accessed, it would not be a concern to Lin Li no matter how Connoris screamed.
When he finished dealing with Connoris, the two old men were almost done talking.
Andoine was indeed an authority when it came to High Elves. With just a small clue on the ring, he had slowly guessed that it was Osric’s. Yet, it was unfortunate that he did not have a deep understanding of Osric’s conduct. After all, it was just knowledge from books. If it was about familiarity with that, it would pale in comparison from Connoris’, the soul trader that got killed by Osric’s own hands.
Therefore, he had been entangled by that Mana Sealing Skill, and also unable to come in contact with the truth.
Lin Li shook his head, but he did not remind Andoine. He only plotted in his mind how to obtain this ring.
“Knock, knock, knock…” It was at this time that a sudden series of urgent knocks came from the door
“Come in.”
“Guild Master Balbo, Elin has succeeded!” It was that pharmacist in his forties that opened the door. His face was filled with joy. After entering, he did not have any basic manners. He just delightfully spoke to Balbo.
“What?” Balbo immediately sprung up from the rattan chair.
