After listening to Ma Sen's rambling for a long time, Lin Li finally understood that this Oakland Academy is actually the same as the Magic Guild. They are responsible for cultivating talents. The only difference is that the Magic Guild trains magicians, while the Oakland Academy trains warriors.
.
Of course, there are still some differences in details.
After all, warriors are different from magicians. This profession does not have high requirements in terms of talent. As long as a human with sound limbs has a chance to become a qualified warrior, in such a large kingdom of France, those who have a chance to become a qualified warrior are really
It's too much...
Naturally, it is impossible for such a large number of warrior apprentices to be imparted knowledge by a mentor like a magic guild. It is simply unimaginable among warriors for a mentor to lead several apprentices.
Therefore, most warrior apprentices will choose to enter various academies where they will receive the most basic combat skills training.
For example, Oakland Academy specializes in teaching various combat skills. Warrior apprentices only need to pay a certain amount of tuition to learn martial arts from level one to level ten here.
Lin Li was a little moved. There is no doubt about Sheen's talent. Even a picky old guy like Anduin once praised him. What he lacks is the correct guidance. If he enters Oakland Academy, it won't take long.
, you can become a powerful warrior.
"I'll ask Sheen for his opinion." After Lin Li said this, he remembered that he hadn't seen Sheen since he woke up this morning. He couldn't help but be a little confused for a moment: "By the way, who of you saw this today?"
Sean?"
"I didn't see it..." Mason bit into a piece of bread, his voice a little unclear.
"No." Ou Ling also shook his head.
"..." Lin Li was confused when he heard this. Where did this kid go so early in the morning?
"Tuk, duk, duk..." At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Lin Li opened the door. Standing outside the door was a stranger. He looked to be in his twenties, wearing brown leather armor. He was fair and fair, and his blond hair was unusual.
Dazzling.
What struck Lin Li most strangely was that this man seemed familiar...
"Yes, yes...it's you!" Before Lin Li could say anything, the young man shouted first. His eyes suddenly opened wide, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost. He pointed at Lin Li with one finger and said something in his mouth.
He stuttered and couldn't say a decent word for a long time.
"Ah?" Lin Li was stunned at first, but then a picture appeared in his mind.
The camp where blood flows, the nightmare with flames on its hooves, the silver disk full of sacred aura, and the mysterious crystal...
Isn't this young man with a ghostly expression the same guy who led a group of adventurers to challenge the nightmare in the Nightmare Mountains that night? It seemed that at the end of the battle, this guy flew over with a silver plate and almost killed himself.
…
"So it's you..." Lin Li smiled, showing a somewhat surprised look.
"No, no, no...it's not me...it's really not me..." The blond young man's face was uglier than crying. He never thought that things would happen to such a degree of coincidence.
After going back that night, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep well all night, for fear that the extremely powerful magician would come to trouble him. For more than half a month after that, he lived in fear every day, and finally waited until the limelight passed, thinking that
It was alright, but I didn't expect that this was the second time I came out and bumped into the hands of the master.
It's over, it's over, this magician must have known who he was a long time ago. He set a trap through that damn boss and easily lured himself into the trap.
"What a mess..." Lin Li frowned. What's wrong with this guy? He came to the door for no reason, just to tell himself "It's not him, it's really not him." Isn't this because he's full?
"Mr. Magician..." The blond young man swallowed and struggled to defend himself: "That night, I really didn't mean it..."
"I didn't say you did it on purpose..." Lin Li's voice was very weak. He thought to himself, aren't you talking nonsense? Who didn't know that you were in a hurry to run away? If you really did it on purpose, I would have given you up long ago.
Now that you've done it, why don't you wait for you to come to the Magic Guild?
The blond young man looked at Lin Li with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face. After a long while, he finally confirmed that the other party didn't seem to be making sarcastic remarks.
"If you have anything to do, come in and talk about it. Don't look around. No one will do anything to you..."
"Oh..." The blond young man followed Lin Li and entered the living room cautiously. His face looked extremely nervous. He looked around awkwardly and didn't even know where to put his hands.
"Please take a seat."
"oh……"
"Would you like anything to drink?"
"oh……"
"What's your mother's last name?"
"oh……"
"..." Lin Li was really driven crazy by him. What's wrong with this guy? He came here so early in the morning just to "oh" and "oh" with him?
"Forget it, if you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. When you get back, you can take your time alone..."
"...Aren't you here to find me?" This time, the blond young man did not continue to say "Oh", but showed a surprised look on his face.
"Ah?" Lin Li looked puzzled: "When did I come to find you?"
"You asked Gazza to tell me that you have a business deal that you want to talk to me about..."
"Oh..." When Lin Li heard this, he immediately understood. It turned out that this guy was the one he had been looking for, the person who consigned the flame salamander leather armor: "It turns out that the owner of these two pieces of equipment is you..."
"Are you looking for me... really to discuss business?" The blond young man finally believed it when he heard him mention the piece of equipment. However, his expression still looked very nervous, and there was always a hint of amusement in Lin Li's eyes.
With a look of uncertainty and uncertainty, the scene on the Nightmare Mountains left a really deep impression on him.
"Of course!" Lin Li asked straight to the point, regardless of whether he was nervous or not: "That leather armor made of flame salamander skin, you took it to the equipment store for consignment, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Magician..."
"Very good..." Lin Li nodded and asked directly: "How many more are there?"
This question was a bit confusing to ask, and the blond young man was nervous. At this time, he heard it a little baffled: "Ah? How much more is there?"
"How many flame salamander skins do you still have on hand? I need about ten. Whether I buy them with money or exchange them with items, there is no problem."
"This..." The blond young man hesitated.
"You don't have to worry about the price." Seeing his hesitation, Lin Li thought he was worried that he couldn't afford the money, so he didn't bother with him and directly quoted his price: "Well, I'll tell you the potion
In exchange for a piece of flame salamander skin, I can give you three bottles of bull power potion!"
"Three...three bottles?" As soon as this astonishing price came out, the blond young man was so frightened that he even forgot about his nervousness.
He never thought that this magician would be so generous with the Potion of the Power of the Bull, but it is what every physics profession dreams of, especially a warrior like him. As long as a bottle of the Potion of the Power of the Bull is in hand,
You can immediately increase your strength by several levels.
If put on the black market, a bottle of Bull Power Potion can be sold for at least 50,000 gold coins. One card is worth three bottles, and ten bottles are worth thirty bottles...
How much did it cost? The blond young man was calculating, and suddenly felt that his brain was a little weak...
It's a pity that with such a large amount of money, I can only look at it.
The blond young man hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "You misunderstood, Mr. Magician, I'm not worried about the price, but I just can't get it..."
"Oh..." Lin Li felt a little regretful, but he was not discouraged. In fact, he had more or less guessed the answer. The leather armor he bought for Sheen that day used at least five pieces of flame salamander skin.
Taking out so much at once, no matter how much the blond young man's character explodes, he probably won't be able to bring out more.
"Then let's change the conditions." Lin Li thought for a while, then continued: "It's still thirty bottles of Bull Power Potion, in exchange for the location where you hunt the Flame Salamander."
"..." The blond young man almost went crazy on the spot. What on earth does this magician do? How come he has so many potions of the power of the bull? Just for one hunting location, thirty bottles can be dispensed!
It's a pity that with such a large amount of money, I can only watch it.
It’s okay not to watch, as long as you are willing to take risks, fabricate a place at will, and first deceive these thirty bottles of bull power potion.
If he were to trade with other people, under the temptation of such a huge sum of wealth, the blond young man might really take the risk and do it. But the problem is, no matter how precious the potion of the power of the bull is, you have to have it if you have your life.
You just have to drink your life, right? This young magician can also be deceived casually?
"Mr. Magician..." The blond young man swallowed, with a very sad look on his face: "That leather armor is not our own..."
"oh?"
"I bought the leather armor from the black market a month ago. Along with the leather armor, there are two other things. One is the two-handed giant sword you bought, and the other..." At this point
When speaking, the blond young man looked a little embarrassed.
"Smash my silver plate?" Lin Li guessed what the other thing was as soon as he saw his expression.
The blond young man smiled awkwardly: "Yes..."
"Besides the silver plate, what I'm more concerned about now is, can you think of a way to help me find the person who bought these things? Don't worry, this favor will not be in vain."
"It's no problem to find someone, but I need a little time. You know, the black market has always been very complicated..."
"You can help me find this person within a month. As for the reward...three bottles of bull power potion, what do you think?"
"No problem, no problem..." The blond young man nodded repeatedly, and if he helped find someone, he would get three bottles of Bull Power Potion. Is there any more cost-effective task in the world than this?
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Elaine, Mr. Magician."
"Very good, Mr. Elaine, this deal will be considered valid within a month. After you find that person, come to me at the Magic Guild. I will give you all three bottles of Bull Power potion by then. Of course
, if you can get ten flame salamander skins by yourself, that would be even better, I will directly give you thirty bottles of bull power potion."
After finalizing the deal, the two discussed the details before Lin Li sent him out the door.
…………
After looking for the Flame Salamander Skin for almost a month, he finally found it today. Lin Li was in a happy mood and gave himself a day off. He stopped going to the Omniscient Tower to read for the time being and just stayed in the house to sort out the recent period.
At the same time, I am waiting for that guy Sheehan to come back so that I can discuss with him about Oakland College.
This is strange to say. Sheen, who has never run around very much, was uncharacteristic of himself today. He went out before dawn in the morning and has not seen anyone until now.
Sheen didn't come back, but Medellin came.
It was almost evening when Medellin came and knocked on the door.
"Hurry up, hurry up, there are a lot of people here today, if you don't hurry up, you will have to eat what others have left!"
The old man's roar was more effective than any other urging. Mason, who was sitting in the room, worrying about what robe to wear, was startled when he heard Medellin's voice and quickly put on a black robe.
, and then ran out of the room like a rabbit.
The meeting place was arranged in the banquet hall. When a group of people rushed over, the banquet hall had been decorated with splendor and bright lights. Lin Li raised his eyes and looked around. Including three people, twenty-four people
All the magicians have arrived, and there are also important figures from the Olanna Magic Guild, such as the president Odwin, the president's son, the great wizard Huolun, and the great wizard of Medellin beside him.
scholar……
There were almost fifty people sitting in the spacious banquet hall.
There are two long tables placed parallel to each other in the banquet hall, one table for people from the Oranna Magic Guild, and another table for twenty-four trial magicians. Next to Aldwin sits an old man in his seventies,
His face looked old, his eyes were cloudy, and his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he hadn't woken up. Even when Aldwin was talking to him, his face looked a little listless.
If it weren't for the powerful magic fluctuations coming from his body, most people would probably think he was just an ordinary bad old man.
Lin Li glanced at him and was slightly surprised. This was actually another legendary mage...
"Did you see that?" After Medellin walked into the banquet hall, he winked at Lin Li and motioned for him to look at the old man next to Odwin: "This old man is one of the highest arbiters, named Herza.
, even though he is about the same age as Aldwin, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, he is enough to be Aldwin's grandfather. In the past hundred years, he has basically been handling the external affairs of the Supreme Council.
As for strength... I only know that it is very strong!"
"How strong does it mean to be strong?" Lin Li was a little curious.
"Anyway, he's better than me..." Medellin finished with a depressed look. He seemed to feel very humiliated, so he added shamelessly: "Maybe he's better than Aldwin..."
"That's really strong..."
The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Medellin was called away, leaving only Lin Li and others looking around with curious faces.
After waiting until they were almost finished, the three of them found a few empty seats and sat down.
As soon as Lin Li sat down, he found an acquaintance sitting next to him.
"Good evening, Magician Frederick."
"Good evening, Magician Feyre..." Frederick really wished he could give himself two slaps. There are so many places in the hall to sit in, so he had to choose such a damn place. It's okay now, being sat by this guy.
Next door, how can we have dinner tonight...
Thinking of the flaming hand in Shadow Valley, Frederick couldn't sit still. His butt rubbed against the chair, looking as if he had hemorrhoids.
"What's wrong, is Magician Frederick not feeling well?" Lin Li asked with concern when he saw that his expression was not right.
"No...nothing."
"By the way, why didn't you see Kayla and the others?" Lin Li chatted with Frederick enthusiastically, looking like old friends he hadn't seen for a long time. If they just looked at the scene in front of them, no one would have thought that,
It was this guy in the Valley of Shadows. Just after a disagreement, he directly used the hand of fire and almost cooked Frederick on the spot.
"They... they were sitting with Sarson..." Frederick sat there, but he felt like he was sitting on a soldering iron. But he didn't dare to change seats, just in case this guy thought he was
If you don't give me face, you will be in big trouble.
"Oh..." Lin Li nodded and continued chatting with Frederick.
Frederick really wanted to bang his head against the wall. What on earth did this guy mean? Why was he still haunting him? There were so many people in the banquet hall. Why didn't anyone look for him? Why did he come to find him?
In fact, how did he know that although there were many people in the banquet hall, Lin Li only knew those few. They were all sitting here anyway, and they were idle. Why not chat with an acquaintance...
He didn't expect how much pressure his existence would bring to Frederick...
Fortunately, just when Frederick was feeling tormented every second, President Aldwin stood up.
"Good evening, everyone." Odwin had a gentle smile on his face, and his voice was not loud, but just enough for everyone to hear clearly: "The dinner will start soon, but before that, I must solemnly
I would like to introduce you to an important figure - one of the arbiters of the Supreme Council, Master Herza!"
"Wow, wow, wow..." There was warm applause in the banquet hall. For most magicians, the Supreme Council is the most mysterious place in Anriel. A magician from the Supreme Council is worthy of their warm applause.
.
"Good evening, everyone..." Herza's voice sounded a little out of breath.
"Master Helza is here mainly for two things. The first thing is about the Shadow Valley trial. Before the dinner begins, Master Helza will help the young man who wins this trial.
Send me a small gift." At this point, Aldwin paused for a moment and said, "The second thing is that the finals in one month will be hosted by Master Herza himself."
The hall suddenly fell silent. Aldwin's last words attracted almost everyone's attention. Even the top brass of the Olanna Magic Guild couldn't help but hold their breath. No one thought that the final would be
It is presided over by people from the Supreme Council.
From this sentence, many people have already smelled something unusual. In previous years, most of the trials were handled by various guilds, but this year, the Supreme Council not only temporarily arranged the Shadow Valley task, but even presided over the final task.
In the final, before Deo Dewen's voice fell, everyone was already guessing what all this meant...
At this time, Snei stood up again, his voice still weak, but the words he spoke undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the banquet hall.
"The winner of the finals will receive the full support of the Supreme Council and establish a guild in a certain area."
This feeble sentence completely caused an explosion in the banquet hall.
