Chapter 225 - Sudden Change (2/2)

Lin Li laughed as if he had never seen such a ferocious glare from Elin. “Actually, I feel that you should thank me.”

“…” With these words, Elin almost fainted from anger.

Those tens of pharmacist rolled their eyes.

This… this… Isn’t this too shameless?

After destroying the tens of years of the Pharmacists Guild’s hard work and Elin’s chance to get eternal glory, he still dared to shamelessly ask Elin to thank him. If he could say such things, what else was there that he dared not do?

“I’ll kill you!” He had already felt aggrieved, but he did not imagine this guy still dared to make mocking remarks. In an instant, Elin was swallowed by rage. A ball of fire appeared on his hands. That incomparable magical wave almost made everyone feel the blazing aura.

“F*ck…” Lin Li had a shock. This ball of fire’s power had surpa.s.sed his imagination. The fire magical element contained within could be compared to the magic of an Archmage. Even if it was the present Lin Li, he did not dare to tarry. Mana surged out and formed an Elemental s.h.i.+eld around the surroundings.

Under the protection of the Elemental s.h.i.+eld, Lin Li did not stop. He shot out a Mana Retroaction.

“Eh!” With a release of Mana Retroaction, it was similar to a rock dropping into ocean. That feeling where he could not exert force made Lin Li feel that he had punched air.

This time, Lin Li was completely confused.

Ever since coming to Anril, Lin Li had never encountered something so weird during his countless battles. With Lin Li’s mental strength, he could not have possibly failed. It was even more so for him to have seemingly backtracked a ball of air with this release of Mana Retroaction. It had no effect on the other party’s spell. He could only look on as that ball of fire grew bigger…

“This is bad…” The Mana Retroaction had missed. Lin Li could only bet everything on the Elemental s.h.i.+eld. He desperately stimulated mana, hoping that this delicate Elemental s.h.i.+eld could help him defend against the blaze that was of the Archmage level.

“Stop him, Balbo. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.” Andoine’s complexion changed, and the magic staff in his hand gave off rays of light.

The one under the threat of the fireball was his only disciple. No matter how good Andoine’s relations.h.i.+p with the Pharmacists Guild was or how deep his personal friends.h.i.+p with Balbo was, he did not care anymore at this point.

“Elin, stop.” Balbo’s face was purple with rage. All of this today was simply a farce to him. A gathering that was going well had been turned into a mess by an icicle. He had to stop this farce from continuing.

“Master Balbo…” Balbo had already spoken. No matter furious Elin was, he could only obediently listen to his orders. Even though the flames on his hands had dissipated, the fire in his eyes grew even stronger. When he stared at Lin Li, he wished that he could incinerate Lin Li.

“Ok, we’ll talk later if there is anything else.” After Balbo stopped Elin, he turned around and looked at Lin Li. “Mage Felic, I hope that you can explain yourself properly.”

“Ok, President Balbo.” From Felic to Mage Felic. Even a blind person could tell this obvious change in address. Balbo was really angry. Lin Li did not dare to be negligent. His expression became unusually serious. “Firstly, I need to tell everyone that you really were in danger just now…”

“Nonsense!” A group of pharmacists almost sprung up. This kid was really too shameless. It had already come to this point and he still dared to say something so unscrupulous. Could it be that he really thinks that the Pharmacists Guild can be bullied?

“As*hole!” Elin was unable to restrain his anger. He could not believe that there would be anyone so shameless in this world. He had destroyed Elin’s chance at eternal glory and even dared to ask Elin to thank him.

“Elin, shut up.” Balbo glared at his disciple before forcing out a polite smile. “Mage Felic, please continue.”

“I don’t care if you admit it or not, but these are all facts.” Lin Li smiled apathetically. The reaction from pharmacists was within his calculations. He just turned around and stared at Elin. “What have you added to the potion other than the Leaf of the Origin Tree? Do you dare to say it in front of everyone?”

“Nonsense!” Elin was agitated and his eyes were bloodshot. It was as if he had suffered from a huge grievance, but he could not help but feel uncertain. n.o.body knew that he had added something into the Catalytic Potion. Could it be that this unfamiliar mage had discovered something?

“I’m not spouting nonsense, you know it yourself.” Lin Li stared at Elin for a while and suddenly laughed. “But it’s alright. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say it. I can help you. Helping others is happiness, anyway. I’ve always enjoyed helping others…”

After Lin Li spoke, he slowly bent down and picked up a shard from the goblet’s remnants.

The shard was no bigger than a thumb, and there was red mark on it. Under the the gaze of everyone, it was especially brilliant.

Everyone knew that that mark should be the remnant of the Catalytic Potion.
