Chapter 308 Pie in the Sky
The lobby of the library was quiet. Most of the magicians were sitting on both sides of the long table, concentrating on the thick magic books. When the four people walked in from the door, no one even looked at them. They looked at each other as if these were not four living people, but four mosquitoes flying in quietly...
The four of them walked quietly through the library lobby and followed the stairs to the second floor. The guard leading the way knocked twice on an ajar door and heard an old voice coming from inside.
"Please come in."
Lin Li straightened the wrinkles on his robe before reaching out and pushing open the ajar door.
The reception room is not very spacious. There are rows of tall bookshelves on both sides. The bookshelves are filled with books of various weights. Standing there, you can smell the thick fragrance of ink. The carpet is soft and clean, there is a coffee table, a wicker chair, and the uncomplicated furnishings are well-proportioned. On the other side of the room is an open terrace. The afterglow of the setting sun shines through from the terrace, giving this small room The reception room was plated with a layer of brilliant gold.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a pale old man was sitting there peacefully, gently rocking the wicker chair slowly and rhythmically. On his left hand side, there was a small coffee table with a coffee table on it. There was only a teapot and four teacups, and on his right hand side, there was a cyan staff leaning against it. The gem on the top of the staff was not very dazzling, but the magic fluctuations emanating from it made Lin Li endure it. I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air...
"Good afternoon, Magician Feyre." The old man's tone was slow and gentle, and when he looked at Lin Li, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Basel." Lin Li put a hand on his chest, bent down slightly, and saluted the old man sitting on the wicker chair.
"Please take a seat, please take a seat. Don't be so formal. Just treat it as your own home..." The old man warmly greeted everyone to sit down, but while speaking, he kept looking at Lin Li. When everyone sat down one by one, the old man Then he said again: "If I remember correctly, Magician Ferre should have become a disciple of Anduin half a year ago, and then entered the Garros Magic Guild through Anduin's introduction. Oh, by the way. , when you went through the level certification for the first time, your magic power output time was twenty-eight minutes, right? That’s amazing. My old man has lived so long, and he has never seen anyone who can maintain the magic power output for two minutes. Where’s the eighteen-minute magician…”
Lin Li sat there quietly, listening carefully without saying a word, but his heart was far from as calm as it seemed on the surface. In fact, at this time, Lin Li's heart had already stirred up a storm, even if When he was dreaming, Lin Li never thought that someone would know everything about him!
This is simply impossible. The magic output lasts for twenty-eight minutes. It has long been classified as the guild's top secret by Grean. Even the Supreme Council has not obtained relevant information. Where did this old man named Basel know it? As for joining Anduin's sect half a year ago. This is even more incredible...
This is my biggest secret. Except Anduin. No one else knows.
Anduin is definitely not that boring. Make fun of your biggest secret. Of course I can't say it myself. It's not like I'm full. Are you making yourself uncomfortable? But the problem is. No one said anything. This is the old man from Basel. Where did you know it? Is it possible? Is there really that kind of magic stick in this world who can pinch and calculate?
"Haha. It seems that Mr. Basel knows me very well..." Although Lin Li was smiling. But this smile looks like. But it was unusually stiff. The feeling is almost like a person taking a shower. But suddenly he felt like his whole body had been exposed.
Now. Lin Li felt like he was being ignored...
but. The one sitting on the wicker chair was lying. But he didn't mean to apologize at all.
"Haha, Magician Ferre is really a prize. What I know is just some superficial knowledge..."
"Mr. Basel, you are so humble..." Lin Li smiled stiffly and cursed secretly in his stomach. Just like this, you still only know a little bit about it? Then you have too much hair...
"No, no, no, this is not modesty. I know myself. There are still many things I don't understand. For example, how did Magician Ferre grow from a layman who knew nothing about magic to a real ten-year-old in half a year? As a sixth-level great mage, for example, how did Mage Ferre manage to be both proficient in potions and forging places? Let me tell you what I mean, Mage Ferre, in my opinion, you are full of all kinds of qualities. All kinds of secrets, the more I know about you, the more ignorant I feel..."
Novel and Duke sat there quietly, motionless, just like two sculptures. Of course, Nofel was motionless because he was indifferent to everything. As a high-level vampire, unless someone hurts him, His blood-sworn contract, otherwise nothing would be enough to make Nofiler lose his composure, and Duke was motionless entirely because he was
Already...
Duke didn't quite understand what joining Anduin's sect and twenty-eight minutes of magic output, but he could clearly hear the words sixteenth-level great mage. Damn it, sixteen. What is the concept of a super wizard? I'm afraid even the magician Xi in the Lord's Mansion of Dorland City is only at this level, right?
Duke never dreamed that his luck would be so good. He just picked up his wallet and found a sixteenth-level magician. Think about the scene at that time, and then think about that Such a scary little trick, Duke suddenly felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat...
Fortunately, I'm smart and didn't do anything stupid.
Otherwise, even if I have ten lives, I'm afraid I'm already dead...
"To be honest, I'm surprised..." Lin Li touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "However, Mr. Basel, I don't think you just wanted to scare me when you invited me here today. Bar?"
"Haha, Magician Ferey, please don't get me wrong. The reason why I said so much is just to prove my sincerity. You see, I'm just a bad old man. I have no hostility towards Magician Ferey. , In fact, I invited Magician Fei Lei here today because I have a good deal that I want to talk to you about."
"Oh? I wonder if Mr. Basel can tell you first, what kind of deal is this?"
"Don't worry, Magician Ferey. I will tell you the specific contents of the transaction later. But before that, I would like to take the liberty to ask. I wonder if the Supreme Council appointed Magician Ferey a month ago. Master serves as the president of Qingfeng Plains Magic Guild?"
"Well, there is such a thing, but as you can see, I have just arrived at Qingfeng Plain, and everything has not yet started. I only have a tall tower that has just completed the main body, and a few colleagues who are not very friendly. Apart from that, there is nothing else. If you plan to make some kind of exchange in this regard, I think you will be disappointed..."
"No, no, no..." the old man shook his head, his voice still slow and gentle: "Magic Fei Lei, I think you have misunderstood. The deal I mentioned, although I am with you as the president of Qingfeng Plains Magic Guild, It's related, but it's a little different from what you imagined. In fact, I was just about to ask Magician Feyre if he would need some manpower after the wizard tower is built..."
"Manpower?" Lin Li's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this sentence: "You mean that you can provide a certain amount of military support for the Magic Guild?"
No wonder Lin Li was so excited. For the current Magic Guild, the most important thing is the support of force. There is no way. The Qingfeng Plain is like this. Various forces are intricate and complex. No one knows when the crisis will come. As Lin Li said just now, apart from a tall tower that had just completed its main body, he only had a few unfriendly colleagues left. If he really encountered any trouble, it would definitely not be enough to rely on himself and Novel. Yes, what he needs is a group of strong enough subordinates. Only in this way can he ensure that he can survive better in Qingfeng Plain.
It is precisely for this reason that Lin Li is so keen on making money recently.
If it were changed before, how could this lazy guy be willing to sweat like rain in front of the furnace?
Lin Li knew it as early as when he was in Garros. This world is just like this. Only people with money will have people. If you don't have money, who will be willing to work for you for free?
For Lin Li, Basel's proposal is indeed very attractive.
The current Doland Library is almost like another form of Magic Guild, except that the structure is looser than the Magic Guild. The power of knowledge brings together all the magicians in Doland City. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net allows them to maintain a certain degree of obedience to Basel, the owner of the library. If Basel is willing, he can indeed recruit many powerful magicians for himself!
Lin Li gritted his teeth: "Tell me your conditions!"
"Haha, my conditions are very simple..." The old man smiled and left the wicker chair under him for the first time and stood up: "Reserve a place for me in the Magic Guild."
"Ah?" Lin Li was stunned immediately.
In fact, before he spoke, he had already thought about what conditions Basel would put forward, but no matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that what Basel asked for was to reserve a place for him in the Magic Guild. , this, this, this... what kind of condition is this? The strength of this old man in Basel is something that even he cannot see through, which means that he is probably a legendary level strongman...
A legendary level strongman took the initiative to join the Magic Guild, and also promised to recruit a group of powerful magicians for himself...
This is simply as if a beautiful woman with a fortune and both parents is crying and shouting that she wants to marry you, and even takes the initiative to help you take in a bunch of concubines. What is the difference between this and pie in the sky?
