Chapter 64: Counterattack

  Upon hearing the legendary magician's visit, Grian immediately showed a excited face to welcome him out the door, but halfway through, he suddenly felt some doubts: "Gren-Bernsede has always had no dealings with the Magic Association, why would he suddenly come to the door?"

  The magician who came with Tong swallowed his saliva and spoke with some difficulty: "Saying... saying that he is looking for Ferre the magician."

  "......" Grian gazed at Lin Li with a jealous look: "How do you know Grenn-Bernsede?"

  "He also attended the banquet at the city lord's mansion a few days ago."

  "My god! You're so lucky, there are only two legendary mages in Gallos and you know them all..."

  Gryaan muttered to himself as he exited the Emerald Spire, only to see Grinbern Sed standing at the foot of the stairs, wearing a grey mage's robe. The old man quickly put on a warm smile: "Welcome, welcome, Grinbern the mage, to the Emerald Spire! The Gallos Magical Association is deeply honored by your visit."

  "You're too kind, Guildmaster Grian." Old Green's face still wore a warm smile as he chuckled at Lin again: "Long time no see, Ferre Magic Master."

  Three people chatted at the foot of the stairs, and Grian solemnly welcomed Old Green into the guild hall. For the Magic Guild, Green-Burnsided's visit was a truly sensational event. Even Grian, who was usually arrogant, didn't dare to be slow this time. The reception standard was so high that it made all the leaders of Gallos' forces jealous.

  To welcome Glinburn Sessed, Gryen gathered all the magicians of the entire council, even those stationed in the distant Demon-slaying Valley, and had them send back welcoming speeches through the crystal ball in the hall. The scene was both shocking and enthusiastic, and even Glinburn Sessed, who had lived for over a hundred years and had long since become disillusioned with everything, couldn't help but feel a few more points of goodwill towards Gryen.

  Watching Grian laughing with a radiant face, Lin Li couldn't help but worry about the many leaders of Gallos. Grian deliberately made the scene so sensational, just to make today's events spread far and wide. When the seventeen leaders of the forces find out that the legendary magician came to visit, who knows what they will be frightened into...

  After a sensational welcome ceremony, Old Green and Lin Li entered the pharmacy to continue the discussion that was not completed at the banquet that day.

  But this time, Gru, who usually likes to join in on the fun, didn't follow them.

  He made a speech to all magicians in the guild hall.

  This speech was very long, but its content always revolved around one thing - the Merlin family got involved with the Shadow's Nest!

  "You bunch of guys, cooped up in the Emerald Tower all day, you're almost moldy. From today on, everyone must go to Gallos City for a spin, do whatever you want, as long as it makes the Merlin family uncomfortable, I'll support it all. Whoever has the ability to take down that bastard Mathews, I'll reward him with the annual income of Demon-Slaying Valley!" - This is what Grian said.

  How many years has Grian been the president, how many years has the Magic Association endured? Among the magicians present, which one has not experienced being looked down upon in the past? In Gallos City, there are seventeen forces, each of which dares to point fingers at the Magic Association. The Merlin family is particularly egregious, repeatedly making demands on the association, and eventually even someone like Krenwell dared to come to Grian's door to ask him to expel Lin Li from the association.

  Even the wisest and calmest magician will inevitably accumulate some anger in the face of such reality.

  So many years of endurance, the fire that had been accumulating in their hearts was enough to ignite the entire Emerald Tower. With the rise of the Magic Guild, the fire in their hearts grew stronger and stronger. When the Shadow Nest launched a surprise attack on the Demon Slayer Valley, it pushed this fire to its peak. For the past two days, the Magic Guild has been quiet, but everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

  And now, Grian's words have completely ignited the Magic Guild.

  Apart from the people stationed in the Valley of the Massacre, there were thirty-six mages and one hundred thirteen magicians inside the Emerald Tower. Apprentices below fifth grade were too numerous to count, and nearly half of them were driven out by Grian in just one afternoon.

  A surge of power poured into Galos City, causing a terrible commotion in an instant.

  It was just this afternoon that the Merlin family's business in Gallos City suffered a huge loss.

  It started with a few industries located in the golden area of the city center, which suddenly and inexplicably caught fire. Immediately after that, several casinos jointly operated by the Blood Color Brotherhood were visited by a group of mysterious magicians. Anyone with discerning eyes could see at a glance that these magicians were actually there to cause trouble, because they were simply too arrogant.

  "Who is in charge of this casino?" As soon as the magicians entered, they asked to see the person in charge of the casino. The Blood Brothers' people took a look and thought, "Damn it, it's actually someone from the Magic Guild!" Now, who in Gallos City would dare to provoke them? So, on the spot, they ran out through the back door, leaving only a few members of the Merlin family, who had no choice but to step forward with trepidation.

  "When is Mom going to pay back the money she owes us?"

  "How much... how much money?"

  The Merlin family hesitated for a moment, and several guys at least at the level of named wizards turned their faces, which was simply beastly, not giving people a chance to admit their mistakes, directly using a piece of magic to smash the casino, and finally setting it on fire before leaving to find the next one...

  The most despicable ones among them were undoubtedly a group of more than ten mages.

  This group of people turned around in the city, couldn't find a place to start, so they simply left Galos City and rushed to the Mariana Canal. When they saw the Merlin family's merchant ship in the middle of the canal, their eyes lit up instantly, with an expression like a hungry beast seeing its prey.

  Everyone on the scene took a bottle of sobering medicine and drank it down, the low chanting voices mixed into one piece.

  Before the people on the merchant ship could react, a massive fire burst forth, as more than ten mages joined forces to cast an 8th-level magic spell, "Inferno Storm". To the people of the Merlin family, it was like doomsday. Countless fire dragons roared and howled, with flames so hot they seemed to scorch everything in their path. In just an instant, a massive merchant ship was completely engulfed.

  The people on the boat were lucky, barely escaping with a few small lifeboats, but the cargo worth hundreds of millions of gold coins on the merchant ship was burned to ashes in an instant...
