Chapter 88: The Last Request
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
After arranging the things to be done, Evan cautiously ushered the crowd into the hall. Now, he was really afraid
In the process of waiting, Evan was always careful for fear of offending Gerian, the pestilence. The old fellow was determined to kill someone to establish his power today. Evan was constantly reminding himself,Never give him an excuse, never give him an excuse; under this pressure, even talking became a kind of torture. Before Evan spoke, he had to think it over and over again for fear that if he made a mistake, hed become the object of Gerians bullying.
But luckily, the duration of torture wasnt too long.
Ten minutes later, there were sounds of footsteps in the secret passageway leading to the living hall.
A gaunt middle-aged man struggled to walk into the living hall with the support of two mages. His clothes were brand-new; it looked like he had just changed them. The wounds on his face had been treated; although clear whip marks could still be seen, at least crimson blood wasnt oozing out from the wounds anymore.
At the moment when the middle-aged man walked into the living hall, Evans heart fell. He knew better than anyone what kind of place the Merlin Family dungeon was. Out of every ten living people who went in, nine would come out dead, and the only one who was alive would mostly be badly mutilated.
Even Evan felt the various kinds of torture in the dungeon were a little perverted.
Looking at Gerians fat face, Evan could not imagine what kind of rage would erupt from Gerian if this adventurer had died.
But luckily, he was still alive
Evans hanging heart finally descended into its place.All is well, all is well
Mr McGrenn. As soon as the middle-aged adventurer entered the hall, Lin Li rushed over to hold him. His movements were light and careful as he was afraid of tearing the wounds on his body.
Lin Li always had an indescribable gratitude towards McGrenn for bringing him out of the Sunset Mountains. He was such a person. Once he had received the favor of others, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he would always remember it in his heart; just like in the case of Gerian and the Guild of Magicthe kindness Gerian had shown him and the respect that he had received from everyone in the Guild of Magic were things Lin Li had seen with his eyes and remembered in his heart. He did things for the Guild of Magic in the open and in secret without decline.
In Lin Lis heart, McGrenn was his friend and his benefactor.
Whether it was his friend or benefactor, Lin Li would not allow anyone to hurt him.
If he was hurt, then someone had to pay the price.
Mr McGrenn, how do you feel? Lin Li looked at the bruises on his face. There were streaks and streaks of themwhich showed that he should have been whipped.
Its Its you Mage Felic How did you come? Every word McGrenn uttered seemed to come with extreme difficulty. Every wound on his body was painful, like the bites of a venomous snake.
I heard youve been captured by the Merlin Family Lin Li whispered and suddenly remembered Cromwells words. His heart tightened as he cried out involuntarily, Oh right, Mr McGrenn, where is Ina?
Ina escaped There was finally a smile on McGrenns face, which was full of whiplashes and bruises. Ive helped her escape
Oh, then thats good. Lin Li nodded, his heart finally at ease.
Mage Mage Felic McGrenn struggled again and called Lin Lis name with much difficulty.
Youre badly hurt. Dont talk for the time being, Ill get someone to treat you. Lin Li patted McGrenn on the back of his hand and coaxed him in a soothing tone.
But the voice of the middle-aged adventurer sounded exceptionally resolute. No, I cant rest Mage Felic, I have a request.
I will agree to it as long as I can do it. Just tell me. But before that, you need to rest, Mr McGrenn. Your injury is really serious
No need. McGrenn shook his head with a bitter look, but his spirits seemed to improve, and his face brightened a little. He pushed away the two mages holding him. Mage Felic, no need to persuade me any longer. I cant live much longer.
What!? Lin Li was startled.
In order to let Ina escape, Ive used my familys secret method to break through to level-ten. Now my time is almost up
I can cure you. Let me think, I will come up with something For a moment, Lin Li had completely lost his bearings. He desperately tried to recall the formulas for different potions, trying to find one that could cure McGrenn. But McGrenn was already cut off from life and could no longer be treated with potions. No matter how hard Lin Li tried to recall, he could not think of a possible formula.
Mage Felic, I dont have much time left Can you promise me to find Ina?
McGrenns spirit was getting better, and his face was getting rosier. Lin Li knew that this was the momentary recovery just before death. I promise you.
Thank you. McGrenn reached into his coat and trembled as he took out half of an arrow. If you find Ina, hand her this half of an arrow. Tell her to bring it to the Eternal Shrine to look to look for her mother
The voice of the middle-aged adventurer sank lower and lower, and the flush brought on by the momentary recovery faded. As he uttered his last word, his life also came to an end. His once strong body fell softly and the arrow in his hand dropped onto the thick carpet, rolling lightly as it touched the ground
Lin Li quietly picked up the half an arrow from the ground and held it tightly in his hand. As he looked at the tightly shut eyes of the middle-aged adventurer, his face displayed an unprecedented seriousness. Rest assured, I will hand this half an arrow to Ina As for those who had hurt you, I will not let any of them off!
After a long while, Lin Li turned around and looked at Evan coldly. Wheres another one?
Theres another one? Not to mention Evan, even Gerian was bewildered by the question. Didnt McGrenn just say that he had helped his daughter escape? When was there another one?
Shes called Ina.
Evan panicked. But But she has escaped
I dont care. I only know that it was the Merlin Family that had captured her, and now Ill only look for the Merlin Family for the person.
Gerian suddenly realized that this gentle kid was even more aggressive than he was. He had more or less found an excuse for himself, but this kid didnt even try to look for an excuse; he had just made up a reason and planted it on them first.
