Chapter Twelve: The Jade Tower

  The Magic Guild is located at the southern end of Galos City, a massive building that is in no way inferior to the Adventurer's Guild. In Galos City, the Magic Guild is also known as the Emerald Tower, and from a distance on the street, you can see the high tower peak.

  Lin Li stood on the road and asked a few passersby, soon finding the direction of the Jade Tower.

  Compared to the bustling adventurer's guild, the Emerald Tower below was unusually quiet. Lin stood outside the gate, and for a long time, he didn't hear even a hint of sound, only a faint magical fluctuation emanating from within the tower. This magical fluctuation made Lin feel majestic and mysterious, as if he were facing an insurmountable high mountain.

  Entering from the main gate into the Jade Tower, inside is also a spacious large hall.

  It was just a glance, but the hall was empty, and not even one person could be seen.

  "What's going on..."

  Lin Li-zheng stood at the entrance in a daze, but suddenly heard a quarrel coming from upstairs.

  "Shadow City wants to take control of Demon Valley? Fine! But you'd better be prepared for bloodshed!" A furious roar came from upstairs, Lin Li raised his head and saw a round grey figure.

  "Greian, you're too unreasonable..." Meanwhile, the figure that was being chased out of the room was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He wore a black tight-fitting leather armor, and his entire body exuded a strong bloody aura. When he turned around, Lin Li suddenly felt as if he had been stared at by a venomous snake.

  Wait... President Gruyere?

  Lin Li suddenly remembered the name that the middle-aged man had shouted earlier, which seemed to be the person Andouin wanted him to find.

  Thinking of this, Lin Li couldn't help but take another glance at that chubby figure.

  At this time, Lin Li only noticed that the figure wearing a gray mage robe looked like he was already quite old, with a kind face and a plump body. Even when he was angry, he still looked like he was smiling, making Lin Li feel dizzy. This fat old man who looked more like a merchant than a mage was actually Gallos, the president of the Magic Guild and the great wizard, Ge Rui An!

  "Greian, you are truly unwise. Refusing the friendship of Shadow City will only bring disaster to the Galos Magic Guild." The middle-aged man threw out these words and left the Emerald Tower without looking back, but as he passed by, he glanced at Lin Li again, giving him a feeling as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake, making Lin Li's heart tighten inexplicably.

  "How can this guy walk without making a sound, is he possessed by a ghost?" Lin Li was originally not someone who would take losses lying down, being stared at like that made him very uncomfortable, and he naturally wanted to curse out loud.

  "Come on, then! If you dare to move against the Butcher's Valley, I'll cut off your paws!" Who knew there was someone with an even worse temper? The middle-aged man had already walked far away, but the fat old man was still shouting and scolding non-stop. He only stopped after a while, when he noticed that there were still people in the hall. The fat old man furrowed his brow, staring at Lin Li and asking: "Who are you?"

  "Are you Guildmaster Gremian?" Lin Li hastily rummaged through his pocket and pulled out Adouin's letter, handing it over: "I'm Ferry, Adouin the mage sent me to find you. This is a letter he wrote for you."

  "That's Anduin, that old fellow!" The fat old man's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Anduin's name, and his previously furrowed brow smoothed out. A smile spread across his chubby face, making him look like a good-natured businessman: "Where is the old fellow? Why have you come alone?"

  "Arduwyn said he had some other business to attend to and wouldn't be able to return to Galos City for about a week or two."

  "Oh..." Gideon nodded and began reading the letter in his hand.

  Gillian was a bit strange to begin with, and although Andurin was one of the members of the Gallos Magic Association, this old guy had always been obsessed with potion-making, and in decades at the association, he hadn't done anything decent. Occasionally showing up, it was mostly to ask for materials or formulas. What wind is blowing today that this old guy has actually written a letter of introduction...

  But as he looked, the fat monk's face changed, his originally smiling eyes opened as wide as a cow's eyes, looking at the letter in his hand while raising his head to look at Lin Li with both eyes, and finally even the hand holding the letter seemed to be trembling.

  Is this kid still human if it's really like what was said in the letter?

  Listen to what that old man said - a magical talent rivaling that of the divine mage Gracioso!

  When he saw this sentence, the old man's pupils dilated. Since childhood, he had heard the legend of the divine priest grow up. What the greatest priest in the dark ages had done, Grian could count with his eyes closed. The only person who can resist the gods is a mortal. With one person's power, the legendary annihilation of the higher elf magic army, Grian always felt that such a person should only appear in myths.

  If someone else had said that, Gruen would have thought it was a joke, but he knew very well in his heart that Andurin's character had always been saying one and two, living for over a hundred years, never speaking a big word.

  "Found treasure, found treasure......" Grian's eyes were still on the letter, but his heart was already bursting with joy. He now really wished he could pick up the letter and kiss it a few times. The Gallos Magic Association had been in decline for decades, and finally had an opportunity to turn things around!

  Before the fat old man could finish his excitement, another sentence jumped into view.

  "Moreover, he is also a master pharmacist..."

  "Master Pharmacist... what a joke!" Grian rubbed his eyes desperately, thinking he had seen it wrong.

  Gillian rubbed her eyes and picked up the letter again...

  Awesome! You're truly a master of potions!

  Gillian thoroughly Sparta-ed this... This is even more terrifying than a magical genius!

  After the Dark Ages, who has seen a pharmacist under the age of seventy? Grian quietly peeked out from between the letters, carefully sizing up this young man named Ferry. A worn-out mage robe seemed to be emanating an unusually clear magical aura, and with Grian's discerning eye, he could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary magical item. The person was tall and slender, with a face still bearing a hint of childishness, and judging by his age, he couldn't have been more than twenty years old...

  Moreover, the letter also stated that this young master pharmacist's abilities were so strong that they were not inferior to anyone in the Pharmacists' Guild!

  Finally finally finally finally...... This time it's really sent!

  A pharmacist under the age of twenty, Ge Rian Guang was already excited to the point of trembling all over just thinking about it. From now on, what's the Pharmaceutical Association? I don't have to go door-to-door for a few bottles of broken medicine anymore, and I don't need to deal with those pharmacists who look down on people. Mother, each and every one of them has a low level but a big attitude. Now that I have a pharmacist master, do I still need to look at your faces?

  "Is that Ferre Fawkes?" The fat old man had completely lost his mind after reading the entire letter, and his gaze at Lin Li was even more eerie and piercing, making Lin Li feel a chill down his spine for no reason: "Your matter, Anduin mentioned it to me in the letter, he said you haven't undergone level certification yet?"

  "Rank Certification?"

  At the sight of Lin's puzzled gaze, Ge Rui'an knew he had said something unnecessary and couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead, silently scolding himself for being an idiot. This kid had only been in contact with magic for two or three months and had always followed Anduin to learn, how would he know about level certification?

  "To put it simply, it's to confirm your magical level. I personally think that this is necessary for you, because only after going through the level certification can you obtain spells of the corresponding level from the Magic Guild."

  When explaining what level certification means, Grian's face always wore a gentle smile, but in fact, his heart was unbearably tense. This concerns a magical genius comparable to Graysco, and even more so, a pharmaceutical master under the age of twenty. Grian even felt that his current mood was more tense than when he was promoted to Grand Mage.

  "So when can I take the level certification?" Lin Li replied very briefly, because he himself also wanted to know what level he was at now.

  "Anytime!" Grian pulled Lin Li up the stairs, his chubby face twisted in exhaustion, he really wanted to give Andrew a few kisses, this old guy was too lovely, when he got back he had to thank him properly.
