Chapter 159 - Robe of The Void (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The few following days were very peaceful. Lin Li’s daily routine was to head straight to the Omniscient Tower once he woke up, and he would only return once it was near dusk. He spent almost twenty days to get from the first floor to the fifth. Within these twenty days, he had almost finished reading all of the reading notes from all five floors.
Being submerged in the sea of knowledge regarding magic, Lin Li did not feel the pa.s.sage of time.
… Until this morning.
The weather was pleasant, and Lin Li, as before, planned to head for the Omniscient Tower just as he finished his breakfast.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“Morning, Mr. Macklin.”
“Morning, getting ready to head out?” The old man did not look well; it seemed as if he did not sleep much.
“Yes, I’m planning to head to the Omniscient Tower.”
“Not bad, very diligent…” Macklin nodded, but the words he said gave Lin Li a shock. “However, you don’t have to go anymore”
“Why?”
“Because you have something more important.”
“…” Lin Li rolled his eyes as he wondered how he did not know.
“Members of the Supreme Council are coming.”
“Supreme Council?” Macklin’s words indeed reminded Lin Li that ever since they came back from the Shadowglen, Macklin might have mentioned that whoever completed this mission would receive a reward from the Supreme Council. As for the contents of the reward, the old man did not clearly state it, and Lin Li did not question further. In a flash, twenty or more days have pa.s.sed. Lin Li was at the Omniscient Tower almost every day, and he left the matter in the back of his mind.
Unknowingly, this matter was raised up again after such a long time. Could it be that the Supreme Council came over to pay back the debt from back then?
“I reckon it should be that matter…” Looking at his complexion, Macklin knew that this fella was just thinking about the reward.
Thinking about how it would make the Supreme Council bleed, both of them laughed simultaneously.
After laughing, Macklin frowned and stared at the Robe of Wrath that Lin Li was wearing. He then bluntly criticized, “Let me say this Felic. Can’t you change this torn robe? After wearing this torn robe everyday, aren’t you sick of it? I beg you to do something right and change it immediately. Don’t let the Supreme Council think that the Alanna’s Guild of Magic is torturing you when they see it…”
“Is it that serious…” Lin Li scratched his head awkwardly. This Robe of Wrath was indeed slightly ridiculous. Not only was it crumpled and old, it even had a few holes in the sleeves. Luckily, he did not leave the Guild of Magic often, or he might have been mistaken as beggar while walking around Alanna city.
“It is very serious!” The old man affirmatively nodded his head.
“Ok, then…”
Even without Macklin’s reminder, Lin Li had long thought of changing the Robe of Wrath as it was of little value. Ever since he arrived at Anril, he had never filled up the s.p.a.ce of over thirty scrolls. The only time the scrolls were ever used was the day that he went with Andoine to the Nightmare Mountains and used Air Bomb scrolls as geo-explosives.
It was just that he had never seen something worth changing into all this while, and he could not bear to lose the magical enchantment for magical resistance. Therefore, this matter has been dragged on since. Unknowingly, it had been dragged on for several months.
He could not help it. Currently, the robes seen in the market were always making an issue about scroll s.p.a.ce. From ten to twenty s.p.a.ces, it mostly cost tens of thousand gold, and rarely would it be a few thousand gold. Wasn’t it like having nothing better to do by not using the Robe of Wrath with thirty scroll s.p.a.ce and spending money to buy those that only had ten or more scroll s.p.a.ces?
Lin Li hesitated, but Macklin seemed like he was prepared for it. He smiled sheepishly and reached out with his right hand that had been behind his back.
