Chapter 129 -Fire Salamandrids
Under the pressure of Lin Li, Sean changed into the brand-new Salamandrid Armor quickly. He felt faint fire magical element as well as the unique warmth of Fire Salamandrids. The double-edged sword in his hands was heavy, and the red marks of the Abyss Mithril appeared even more crimson in the dark.
Sean was so excited that his face glowed as he gripped the double-edged sword so tightly that his hands trembled. To this young man with a poor family background, everything was like a dream. How many Fire Crow’s feathers and low-grade magical crystals did he have to acquire, and how many missions did he have to complete in order to earn 200,000 gold coins? It was beyond Sean’s ability to calculate the figures. He only knew that he would need 100 years to own such a huge sum of money.
After leaving the stall, Sean felt as though he was sleepwalking. When he walked, it was like stepping on cotton—every step was so light. Yet, such a hefty amount of money was extremely terrifying. Never had he dreamed to own two items that were worth 200,000 gold coins…
Throughout the journey back, Sean hugged the double-edged sword very tightly in his arms with a very serious expression. It was as though what he carried was his new-born baby, and not his weapon. Every few steps, he would stop to check if there were any dirt that stuck onto it.
Realizing that, Lin Li stopped walking, and asked, “Sean, can’t you walk properly?”
“Okie…” he replied Lin Li. Although he tried to tone down a little, the lightness of his steps as he tried to move extremely carefully in his outfit made him looked as though he was a thief.
Lin Li just shook his head. He did not know what to do with Sean…
“I-I think… I think his name is Madrick.”
“Great, Madrick…” Lin Li nodded, and continued to ask impatiently, “Why did he attack you?”
“He said… He said he needed a partner to practice magic with…”
“Practice magic…” Lin Li repeated Sean’s words as he cracked his knuckles, his fists tightly clenched.
“Bring me to find him,” he requested hostilely after quite a while.
“Okay…”
Lin Li’s facial expression was terrifying. Sean did not dare to say anything more. He walked into the guild hall and along the corridors. After making a few turns and out of the guild hall, Lin Li saw a short building.
From its exterior, it seemed as though the building had been there for many years. The paint had long been washed away by age. Although they were at a distance away from it, he could smell a tinge of mustiness. Looking at its structure, it seemed like an abandoned warehouse.
“You were living here??”
“Yes, Mr. Felic.”
“F*ck you, Darian!” Lin Li was so triggered that his desire to kill was overwhelming. He would never have thought that the place Darian had referred to was an abandoned warehouse like this.
How was that a place for humans to live in?
“Where’s Madrick?”
“He lives here too. I heard that he was sent by the Guild of Magic…”
“I see…” Lin Li nodded. Now he knew why.
There were a lot of mages who were participating in that round of trial. Hence, it was natural for them to bring along their attendants, which caused a shortage of housing. Since the attendants were mostly of no status, this place was thus an attempt to make room for them temporarily.
How would the mages be concerned about the lives of their lowly attendants?
It was not difficult to guess the motive of the Alanna Guild of Magic in sending Madrick over—it was to ensure the attendants did not cause trouble in the Guild of Magic.
No one from Alanna Guild of Magic would care about the methods Madrick adopted to maintain the order there.
The only one who would poke his nose into it would be Lin Li.
Sean was more than his attendant.
At most times, Lin Li treated Sean like his own little brother. Now that the little brother was hurt by Flaming Hands, how could the older brother forgive the culprit?
