Turning his eyes away from the crystal window in front of him, the old mage stood up coughing. He held the staff in his hand, looking as if he was trying to maintain the balance of his body structure. Aging and weakness have become an indispensable and unavoidable companion in his life. Although he currently has powerful magic power, what is the meaning of all this to the old man?

“What’s the situation in the Oler Empire lately?”

The old man stared at the crystal ball, looking like he was talking to himself. Soon, the crystal ball began to emit a faint light from its original silence, and the turbidity replaced the clearness and occupied it again. Then, a twisted and pale face emerged from the inside.

"Your Magister, it is my honor to see you."

Although he said respectful words, no expression appeared on the pale face.

“Report the situation.”

The old mage repeated his question again. Although patience has always been his advantage, when facing this annoying face, no one will unconsciously become anxious and hope that he will disappear immediately.

"certainly."

The other party's attitude did not change because of the old mage's words, but he no longer said nonsense. After all, time and life are equally important to people of his profession.

"The Oler Empire has been getting tougher at the negotiating table recently and has asked us to provide them with 30% of the magic stone crystal reserves. So far, the Oler Empire still claims that the land was originally their territory and they demanded half of the mining rights of that mine. I think this time the coordination may end in failure."

"Of course it will fail."

The old master sighed deeply.

"Don't pay attention to those little things, you know what I'm asking."

“…”

The pale face was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"According to intelligence, the Oler Empire seems to want to break the royal ban and look for 'that thing'."

"That thing?"

The old mage suddenly stepped forward and stared at the crystal ball in surprise.

"You mean..."

"It's that thing."

His pale face turned paler at this moment - although it seemed that there was no change, his voice seemed to condense a layer of frost, cold but fearful.

"It is very likely that something has gone wrong, what should we do?"

The old mage was silent for a moment, then waved his hand. He cut off the connection without giving any answers. This incident made him feel very upset, and this was not good news. You know, that was the demon from a thousand years ago. If it was cast... No, there would be no such thing. The Five-Nation Alliance was established to prevent this situation. Although they always had differences for most of the time, their common enemies and goals had never changed.

But now, things are obviously changing and are moving in a not-so-good direction.

Maybe I'm thinking too much.

The old mage shook his head. In addition to aging and strength, the years have brought him a lot of thoughts. Thinking about the days when he was young, he was just a little different from now on. The old mage once thought about whether to use everything he got now to exchange for the recklessness and innocence of his youth. At least, although he had experienced countless dangers at that time, he had extremely fun. Although he is already at a high position, he has lost that kind of fun - fatal fun.

The old mage quickly woke up from his memories. He recited the spell again, trying to find his subordinates. It was the time to need their help... instead of letting them robbery around others in the city.

For Li Lin, the Goddess of Lucky's get off work did not cause him more trouble. The two unlucky guys were only at the level of a low-level mage. He didn't even need to cast spells to easily settle them. Of course, in Li Lin's opinion, they were not even considered mages at all. This obvious arrogant attitude is a taboo for mages.

The two mages were not mentally conscious about what Li Lin was thinking. In fact, they just saw Li Lin and his party while walking on the street. After watching the beautiful girls and feasting their eyes, the two rookies discovered the "long-lasting library" around Li Lin. Even with their pitiful and almost poor knowledge of magic props, they could easily guess that what was in front of them was a magic prop. Li Lin's outfit did not look like a mage, but rather a scholar. So the two mages believed that this man was just a country bumpkin who was completely unwitting and did not know how to get this magic book. Although they could not recognize what the hell was with their attainments, it was not important. After all, their teacher was the most knowledgeable mage. As long as he gave this book to him, he would definitely be appreciated or rewarded.

Although there is only one book, the uneven distribution of the spoils must be discussed after the stolen goods are obtained.

“Steal that book!”

Angela frowned, but she didn't say anything - although the little guy looked extremely evil and very violent, her harsh words would only blurt out like a machine gun when Li Lin agreed that she could speak. In terms of observing words and expressions, Angela is always very good. She won't cause trouble for Li Lin, but she will never mind taking the initiative to clean up the trouble.

"I refuse."

Li Lin gently stroked the "Happy Book Library" beside him and answered decisively and firmly.

"Unless you can give enough convincing reasons, I will not be with you for this blatant robbery."

"You are going to disobey the orders of the Mingdeng City Mage Society?"

The bald mage among them took a step forward, and in his hands, the power of magic began to slowly condense.

"So……………"

He did not finish his words, because at this moment, the magic power originally condensed in the man's hands suddenly began to expand violently without control. This unexpected change surprised the man. Although he was a low-level figure, he was also a mage and naturally understood what kind of results would be caused by the chaos of magic power. At present, he no longer had the mind to pay attention to Li Lin in front of him, but concentrated his energy and began to suppress the power in his hands. But what surprised him was that this power was not only not suppressed by him, but instead became stronger and stronger. In the end, the surging magic power burst out, forming a light blue flame. It flashed from the palm of his hand and then turned into a huge firework.

"Wooah!"

Although he was prepared, the man was still blown away by his magic and fell heavily to the ground. His right hand was covered in blood and looked almost completely disabled.

What exactly happened?

Seeing that his companion suddenly suffered this sudden disaster, the remaining mage was also shocked. He did not pay attention to Li Lin anymore, but quickly retreated. He didn't understand what was going on, but he could never stay here at the moment. Although the mage association would not give any warnings on some minor criminal acts, if he was a robber and was injured, he would be completely ruined.

However, the sudden whirlwind made the mage lose almost the escape. He could only stand helplessly, look at the old figure slowly emerging from the violently rotating whirlwind, and secretly cursing his stupidity.

"What happened?"

After the whirlwind dissipated, an old man with white hair appeared in it, and when he watched his appearance, the people who were originally watching on the side took a step back at the same time. It was obvious that this old man had a very high reputation in this city.

"It's not my business! Teacher!"

Sometimes stupidity is not just reflected in the overall situation.

Seeing the old mage appear, the poor worm in front of him hurriedly spoke.

"It's South...he...he...is going to trouble that gentleman, I, I just......"

The old mage stared silently at the young mage who could do nothing but moan, who could not do anything but moan, and then looked at Li Lin. After noticing the spell book beside Li Lin, he remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you won't leave a bad impression of the city of Beacon. I'll take these guys back and strictly discipline them."

“This is the best.”

Li Lin stared into the old mage's eyes.

"As a traveler, I only expect to be treated fairly and justly, rather than treating it like robbery."

"I apologize to you for the stupid actions they have made, young man."

The old mage said with a cough, nodding at the same time.

Li Lin stared at the old mage, and gently tapped his fingers on the surface of the magic book, as if playing a wonderful music. The old mage also stared at him quietly, waiting for his response. Finally, Li Lin took a step back.

"So, I accept your apology."

As he said that, he held Anjie's hand and walked back to the carriage. Soon, a luxuriously decorated and comfortable carriage drove out of it and galloped towards the city gate.

The old mage looked at the back of the carriage, with a serious expression. Then he walked to the young mage who was rolling and wailing. A green light flashed by, which completely turned him into dust.

"Old, teacher..."

Watching all the old mage did, another survivor began to tremble, a little unsure whether the encounter of the guy who had turned into powder would happen again on him, but the old mage turned around and looked at him.
