Chapter 130 - Madrick
“T-the person who arranged a-accommodation for me was a m-mage. H-he looked 40 years old, and was around t-this tall…” Sean replied clumsily when he got to the description of the physical appearance of the subject. He was just bad at expressing himself.
Despite the vague description, Lin Li could tell that Darian was the middle-aged mage Sean was trying to tell himself about.
Along the way, Sean was extra careful when he was around Lin Li as he feared to provoke him. Hence, while conversing with Lin Li, he could not help but stutter. It took him half a day to give Lin Li a rough idea.
That old building was truly the place they housed the people who came with the mages.
Upon bringing Sean there that day, Dorian asked Madrick to help him with registration. Sean could still remember that the men had a long conversation after the registration was completed. However, Sean was not aware of the contents of their conversation at all.
Then, Madrick brought Sean to his room, and told him the usual things to take note of when living in the hostel before leaving him there.
Yet, someone woke Sean up on the morning of the second day.
The man who entered the room wore a new gray mage robe, and looked at least 20-years-old. From afar, Lin Li realized that his appearance resembled Darian.
“Mr. Felic, that’s Mage Madrick…” Sean whispered into Lin Li’s ear.
“Alright…” Lin Li replied, and nodded his head.
Before Lin Li could speak to anyone else, that young mage shouted, “Madrick, someone’s looking for you!”
“Who?”
“Felic from Jarrosus City. HAHAHAHA! Didn’t know you went to such a big city before!”
His ironic use of the phrase ‘big city’ led to sarcastic laughter from the other mages.
“What crap are you talking about? How would I have gone to such a rural place…”
“Greetings, Mage Madrick.” Lin Li smiled, addressing him very politely.
“You are…?”
“My name is Felic, and I’m from Jarrosus,” Lin Li introduced himself, and reached out with his hand.
“I don’t know any Felic—” said Madrick, but he was interrupted by a cream white glow that suddenly appeared from the open palm.
What followed immediately was a “POM!”
An Arcane Missiles flew out of Lin Li’s hand into Madrick’s chest.
The Arcane Missile had proven its power—Matthias became a cripple due to the four shots of it. Although Lin Li did not exert his full force, it was enough to send Madrick flying out of the door.
In that instance, he felt as though someone rammed a hammer into his chest. There was no time to react.
“Now, do you know me?” Lin Li asked as he continued to smile. Yet, his killing intent was known to all.
That sudden change shocked everyone.
The few young mages who were sitting on the rattan chairs got up, and surrounded Lin Li at once; they even had their spells prepared, but none dared to strike Lin Li.
The poor and unkempt young mage they had previously despised transformed into a powerful monster, whose skills were unfathomable. That beast merely used a single Arcane Missile to injure Madrick severely. Who knew what terrifying consequences would befall them if they were to fire at Lin Li?
“You—” Madrick tried to speak, but a gush of hot blood spluttered out of his throat. Even if he was not a weak mage, but the strong-freak—Sean—it would still be impossible to get away unharmed.
What followed was a series of coughing, and a broken voice filled with great pain, as though the lungs were going to be coughed out. Only after a while did Madrick struggle to ask, “W-Who… are you?”
“It is alright if you don’t know me,” said the grinning Lin Li, who then pointed at Sean who was by his side. “You should know him, right?”
