Chapter 95 - The Golden-Eyed Lizard
The cracks on the Tower Shield were thin and dense, spreading like a plague with endless crisp sounds. In the blink of an eye, they had covered the surface of the shield.
The fat boss’ small eyes also widened with the cracks…
“Pom!” Then, there was a muffled noise as countless tiny fragments spattered like scattered dust, filling up the spacious weapon store.
The strong and hefty Tower Shield was shattered with only one strike of the sword.
What kind of sick weapon was this…
Everyone was dazed. Their open mouths were wide enough to stuff an egg.
At the same time the Tower Shield was shattered, the fat boss plopped down on the ground. His heart was like the dying embers. It’s over. Everything is over…
“Mage… Mage Felic! Please wait…” It wasn’t long after he came out of the Gilded Rose when Lin Li suddenly heard that someone seemed to be calling him from behind.
“Sean?” Looking back, he saw the young man from the Gilded Rose, who was strong like a black bear, gasping to catch up with him from behind. Lin Li halted his steps in puzzlement.
“Please wait, Mage Felic…” By the time Sean caught up from behind, he was panting from exhaustion. His tanned face was covered in perspiration and his breathing was heavy. His strong body that was similar to a black bear’s was heaving violently.
Lin Li was rather puzzled. “Sean, how do you know my name?”
“Just… Just now I heard… heard Chief Ysera mention it at the Gilded Rose…” Sean wiped out the sweat off his forehead. The young man, who was as strong as a black bear, gave off an honest and good-natured feeling when he smiled.
“Heh heh, so, why’re you chasing out like that?” Although it was only the first time they met, Lin Li was rather fond of this honest young man, for he felt that someone who could bear the vicious verbal abuse of the fat boss for his sick father would never be bad in nature.
“Is it for this?” Lin Li thought for a moment and reached out to hand the sword wrapped in the cloth to him. “If you don’t want to, you can take it back first. When you get the money, you can come to the Guild of Magic to see me again.”
“No, no…” Sean shook his head in denial as he gasped heavily for breath.
“Then, what is it for?”
Sean was hesitant at first; but after thinking it through, he gritted his teeth and said, “People in Jarrosus say that you’re a very good pharmacist. So… so… I’d like to ask you to… save my father…”
“Save your father?” Lin Li was confused. “Is 1,000 gold coins not enough?”
“No, Mage Felic.” Sean’s eyes turned red as he continued, “My father and I are both adventurers in Jarrosus City. Just a few days ago, we took on the task of killing the Golden-Eyed Lizard. But when we were killing Golden-Eyed Lizard, Father accidentally got bitten by it… I heard you are a very good pharmacist… So… So…”
Sean’s voice became lower and lower. After saying two “so” in succession, there was nothing that followed.
However, Lin Li understood. He had killed two Golden-Eyed Lizard back in the Sunset Mountains. This magical beast was not strong, but it was terribly toxic. Once bitten, it would be more troublesome to deal with than a curse.
