Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master
chapter-116

Lin Li was surprised, and rushed in the direction which the magical wave came from.

When he arrived, Orrin had already collapsed on the floor. One of his arms was hanging limply, bent at an awkward angle. From the painful look on his face, this arm was most likely broken.

“Felic!” Just when he was about to raise Orrin up, Mason appeared, rushing breathlessly towards them from afar. “I heard that idiot, Orrin, got into trouble?”

“Mm…” Lin Li nodded, and spoke no more.

He pushed his way through the gathered crowd, walking to the pale-faced Orrin’s side.

“Are you ok?” Lin Li carefully lifted Orrin, fearing that he might touch the broken arm.

“Nothing much.” Orrin painstakingly shook his head. A small movement like this could already cause his pale face to be filled with sweat. The pain due to a broken arm was not something anybody could bear, but Orrin proved to be tough. He did not make any sounds even though the pain was causing his face to be as white as a sheet.

After being lifted up, Orrin’s eyes continued staring at the crowd.

Lin Li followed his gaze, and saw a young mage with a cynical look.

This man was around twenty years old. He was very fair, but had a piercing laughter which made people uncomfortable. “Heh heh heh… The genius from Rotterdam’s guild was only at this level. I thought he was someone very powerful… How’s it, Orrin, weren’t you very uncomfortable just now?”

“Matthias, stop joking around. There is no genius from Rotterdam’s guild, only a piece of trash. If he really was a genius, how could Gryffindor beat him up so badly?” Just as Matthias’ voice fell, there was somebody in the crowd picking it back up.

“That’s right. He usually acts so powerful, yet he is so useless when he fights. Some sort of genius from Rotterdam’s guild, how laughable…”

“Maybe he got crippled by Gryffindor? Hahahaha…”

This mage called Matthias had two other fellas behind him. They had to be from the same group.

The insults from the three of them made Lin Li somewhat pissed off, but he maintained his composure. He helped carry Orrin while calling out to Mason for help.

He had to admit that even though Mason had loose lips, he had a good personality.

This fella would always bump heads with Orrin. No matter the circumstances, they would definitely argue when they met. The relationship between them was the worst.

When he heard that Orrin had an injured arm, he should have gloated at the mishap even if he did not add salt to the wound.

However, Mason did not have any intention of gloating when Lin Li asked him for help. He came over willingly to lift Orrin up.

Even Orrin behaved in an unusual manner this time. Despite that, he had always been an introvert. Even though he was surprised, he only glanced at Mason, and did not say anything.

“Orrin, don’t worry. I will take revenge for you. Damn it, these bastards went overboard. They dared to beat you up before I did…” Mason carried Orrin with an indignant look.

“…” Lin Li could not help but shake his head; he did not know what to say at this point.

Both of them helped Orrin out of the crowd together, and carefully placed him down at the side of a flower bed.

Lin Li observed Orrin’s broken arm, which seemed to be severely injured. From the remnants of the magical wave left on the surface, this injury should have been caused by an arcane missile.

How fortunate…

These fellas were not brave enough to aim for Orrin’s chest. If this Arcane Missile had hit it, he would have been knocking on death’s door. For now, it was just a simple broken bone. It would be cured with a bottle of Recovery Potion.

Lin Li dug around his pockets and took out a bottle of Recovery Potion. Without a care for their unusual reactions, he uncapped the bottle and placed it beside Orrin’s mouth. “Drink it.”

After passing the Recovery Potion to Orrin, Lin Li softly asked Mason, “Brother Mason, do you know where that group came from?”

“You mean that pretty boy?”

“Mhm.”

“They are from Sunrise City’s Guild of Magic. I think he’s called Matthias. The other two fellas are in one team with him, but I can’t seem to remember their names. I heard they finished their trial mission yesterday with rather good results. They should be somewhat strong…”

“Oh…”

When the two of them brought Orrin to the side of the flower bed, the three fellas had followed suit.

“The two of you are in the same team as this trash?” Matthias had complacent look on his face, and scornfully looked at the two of them. He then shouted excitedly, “Wow! So strong. A level-9 mage and a level-7 mage!”

“No wonder you formed a team with Orrin. Trash will always flock together…”

“Who knows, they might be the same as Orrin, a genius from some random guild!”

“Sh*t…” Mason’s temper could not tolerate such insults. His hands reached into his pockets, and he took out a thin magic staff.

“Hold up…” Lin Li pulled Mason back, not letting him take any action, as he did not want Mason to suffer a loss. Irregardless of their strength, if these three could hurt Orrin, it also meant that they were not weaklings. Orrin was at the peak of level-11, and even he was injured. If it was the level-9 Mason, would he be able to survive?

“Let me go!” Mason did not care about it. When he turned around, his face was red with anger, and his eyes were about to spew fire.

“Let me handle it.”

Lin Li’s voice carried a commanding tone. Even with Mason’s hot temperament, he let go of his magic staff immediately.

“You’re Matthias, right?” Lin Li glanced at the young, fair-skinned mage. “May I ask what exactly is between you guys and Orrin?”

“What happened?” Matthias was arrogant; he looked at Lin Li as though he was looking at an ant. “Some people think themselves a genius and act arrogantly. Some of my friends talked him, yet he ignored them, pfft! Nothing to be cocky about. If he really was a genius, why would he be beaten up so badly by Gryffindor? What an idiot…”

“Oh…” Lin Li nodded, and seemingly understood.

It was too obvious.

Sunrise City and Rotterdam were both located at the northern border of Felan. The two neighbouring Guilds of Magic should be in contact with each other. As for this Matthias, he had something against Orrin in the past. Today, they finally met each other in Alanna. If Matthias did not initiate a challenge, it would be unusual.

Knowing Orrin’s personality, how could he let it slide? With all the nonsense they spouted and disagreements, it made sense that they started fighting.

Surprisingly, it was Orrin that suffered a loss…

“I, Matthias, am not an unreasonable person. To solve today’s issue, Orrin just needs to apologize to me, and I will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise…”

“Oh?” Lin Li curiously asked. “Otherwise, what would happen?”

“Otherwise, only violence can settle it. Orrin insulted our Sunrise City’s Guild of Magic. I have the rights to request a duel from Alanna’s Guild President.”

“A duel…” Lin Li stared at Matthias for a while, and laughed suddenly. “I wonder if a bedridden person would be able to participate in a duel…”

Matthias felt uncertain, yet he felt a sudden surge in mana. After that, there was a deafening sound. Before Matthias could snap out of it, a wind blade had already let out a sharp whistle…

“Oh, sh*t!” Matthias was caught with his pants down. He did not imagine that this fella would be so despicable, letting out a wind blade without saying anything.

Fortunately, Matthias reacted quickly. He raised his Elemental Shield when he felt the surge in mana.

When the wind blade struck the Elemental Shield, it only produced a rainbow-colored ripple.

Although this wind blade did not hurt Matthias, his pride took a beating. He did not think this pathetic level-7 mage would dare to attack him when there were others looking. He even had to use Elemental Shield. In the eyes of Matthias, this was similar to getting a tight slap.

“Trash, you’re gonna die!” Matthias clenched his teeth. While casting Delirium, he gripped his magic staff, and started to recite in hasty yet resounding manner.

The spell that Matthias was reciting was Fireball.

The rage in Matthias’ heart could only be quelled by burning down the opponent into ashes with the use of this spell that was filled with anger.

On the other end, Lin Li seemed to be dumbfounded after casting Wind Blade. He did not recite other spells, nor did he raise his Elemental Shield. He only stared at Matthias casting Fireball.

“Boom!”

The fireball flew towards Lin Li frenziedly, leaving a trail of smoke behind it.

Then…

Then they saw something they would never forget…

…
