Chapter 98 - Attendant
“Hahaha… I guess those fools wouldn’t even dream of Jarrosus sending a level-twelve Magic Shooter!” Gerian guffawed. “I’d like to see who can take home the first place this time!”
“You’re sure the other guilds have no Magic Shooters under the age of 25?”
“Do you think everyone’s a freak like you? Bloody hell, you’re only 20 but you’ve dared to break through to the realm of a Magic Shooter. Why didn’t God just strike you with lightning, you demon…” After Gerian had finished his indignant nagging, the expression on his face changed again, revealing a smile as if his plot had already succeeded. At this time, the President looked like a big fat fox that had just stolen a chicken. “Besides, it was written clearly in the official letter. This learning opportunity is only for mages above level-seven. Do you see it… Only for mages above level-seven. Magic Shooter? Just stay home and play with yourself! Why do you think I want you to cheat?”
“…” Lin Li was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. The old fellow had made a point of cheating.
“Do a good job and get the first place at the trial. I’d like to see who still dares to look down on the Jarrosus Guild of Magic in the future!” The guild being at a low ebb in the past 20 years had always rankled Gerian. This time, he finally had the chance to hold his head high. Excitement was all over his chubby face.
During the past month in the Emerald Tower, Lin Li could see clearly how much effort this seemingly arrogant old fellow had spent on the Guild of Magic. To be frank, Lin Li was very willing to do something for him. It was probably due to his character—Lin Li was not used to giving any steadfast guarantees. He just nodded. “I’ll try my best.”
“Mm.”
“Sean, you see if this is alright…” Lin Li hesitated for a moment amidst their anticipation, and then told the honest young man, “I don’t need an attendant yet, but there’s one thing that I really need your help in, so I’m going to hire you for three months first. As far as the remuneration is concerned… What do you think of 5,000 gold coins a month?”
“5,000 gold coins!” The middle-aged man gave a start and quickly declined, “This is no good, Mage Felic. That will never do. 5,000 gold coins is too much. You saved my life. If you need any help, just order Sean to do it. How can we make you spend so much money?”
