Chapter Summary
No matter what you're thinking, no matter how strong you were before, if you want to rebel here, you'll be besieged by mages. I know there are many things you're not used to, and I also know the Mage's Guild can't change for your habits. Liu Ning had brought Lin Lei many benefits and inspired him greatly, letting the young man know that there were many like-minded people in this society, and that they could work together to do good things for the people.
Lin Lei wanted to bring these things up beforehand. If Liu Ning still had his old temper, he definitely wouldn't be able to get along here. If he actually managed to, that would be a miracle. Facing one mage, you might be able to handle it easily, but against several mages, your strength is truly lacking. Just look at the current situation. Do you really think everyone has no other way to deal with you? Absolutely not. No matter what you're thinking, no matter how strong you were before, if you want to rebel here, you'll be besieged by mages. No one can survive being surrounded by mages; this has been proven throughout the world. Liu Ning, if you want to prove it, many people here will be happy to oblige. So they won't care what you say, they'll only watch what you do.
Many people spotted Lin Lei in the distance. They were loitering around hoping to catch a glimpse of the mage, but how could a mage possibly have that much time? Regardless of their intentions, Lin Lei simply nodded. The armored men around him immediately rushed forward, preventing these people from getting close. Even if Lin Lei was relatively amiable, who knew what kind of people were hiding among them? What if there were assassins among them? Lin Lei could very well be killed. Mages are physically weaker, at most only slightly stronger than ordinary people. If something were to happen, those present would be in serious trouble and could very well be killed. This was the domineering Mage Guild; no matter what you wanted, this was how they operated.
Liu Ning was at a loss for words in this situation. Many soldiers had also contributed to society, yet they didn't receive the same treatment. The main reason was that they lacked the qualities of leaders or role models. When they made contributions, the people simply didn't remember them, regardless of their intentions. That's just how things are now. If everyone remembered them, magicians wouldn't have such a good life. The reason these magicians live so comfortably now is because they possess dazzling magic and can spread it throughout human society. But if the number of magicians increases in the future, they will likely become less useful. This is why magicians still enjoy many privileges when doing certain things. This is the situation Liu Ning didn't want to see. Were the soldiers who made contributions not doing enough?
"You shouldn't stand here any longer. I know there are many things you're not used to, and I also know the Mage's Guild can't change for your habits. So let's get down to business. Didn't you want to see the Ancient Magic Potion? We've already prepared one for you. It's stored in the Mage's Guild building. I'll talk to the Guild Master, and you should have seen it by then. That's all I can do for you. If you have any other requests, I'm afraid I can't fulfill them. You know my abilities are limited; I'm only one-fifth of the Mage's Guild. Actually, the Guild Master has the most power, and the Vice-Guild Master also has a lot of power. I'm just a newbie. I've already done my best to get you this opportunity. Don't say I'm not helping you. If you ask me for anything more, I really can't do it."
Everything Lin Lei said was true. Although he had friends before, none of them were as troublesome as Liu Ning. Liu Ning had brought Lin Lei many benefits and inspired him greatly, letting the young man know that there were many like-minded people in this society, and that they could work together to do good things for the people. However, the trouble this young man had brought him was also obvious. Lin Lei had so many friends, but none of them had ever caused him so much trouble. So the magician was also feeling a bit of a headache. Looking at Liu Ning's eyes, he could only quickly explain, "If you don't believe these things, then we can't talk anymore. Anyway, that's how my abilities are. Outsiders think that magicians are very powerful, but the problem is that this is the Magicians' Guild. This isn't a place where one person makes the decisions. You have to follow the rules here. If you don't follow the rules, then it will be very difficult to get by."
"Look at you, don't worry. I'll remember everything you've done for me. No matter what happens this time, I'll always remember you as my friend. If you ever need my help in the future, and I refuse even once, then I'll be letting you down. If I can successfully refine this potion, I'll cover all your ancient magic potions from now on. No matter how many you need, I can supply you without limit. Consider this a declaration between us brothers. You know how I usually do things. Whenever this happens, I won't say anything to you. I'll handle things perfectly. I won't boast. I'll do what I'm capable of. So you don't need to worry about this at all. I definitely won't let you down. You can rest assured about that."
Liu Ning knew what Lin Lei was worried about: he couldn't provide what they needed. Lin Lei would feel embarrassed, which was understandable. The Mage's Guild wasn't an ordinary organization; many people wanted to make a living there, but instead of finding food, they faced contempt from the Seven Colors. The current situation was similar. If you wanted to make a living there, you had to demonstrate real ability. Besides, Liu Ning had caused such a huge mess, so without genuine skill, you couldn't expect to resolve the situation. This was Lin Lei's biggest worry: don't boast! His reputation was at stake; this was no joke.
