Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

Panda Novel

The other stranger was very young, and looked the same age as Hutton. He was also wearing a long black robe. When he stood by Hutton, the magical wave that he emitted was not behind that of the proclaimed magic genius of the Breezy Plains.

However, he did not know why, but that mage did not have a friendly vibe…

Lin Li realized that the moment Tutankhamun spoke. The gaze that young man placed on him was one that was riddled with enmity. It was as though they were magical beasts that went out hunting and had their eyes set on the same prey.

“What the f*ck…” Lin Li muttered as he pursed his lips. He thought that the gaze should belong to Hutton, whose family he had greatly offended. What did that fella mean by that sneer?

“P-President Felic, what a coincidence…” That was Hutton, who looked very surprised when he spoke.

After the annihilation of Vanskore’s bandits, the relationship between both men became very awkward. They were neither friends nor enemies; although they were not friendly with each other, there had not been any direct confrontation between them. They would have forgotten about each other after a few months if not for the sudden meeting in the Blackstone Mountains.

Unfortunately, fate brought them together in less than a bit. To be honest, if he could, Hutton really did not want to meet that young president anymore.

That man was too dangerous…

Although he had not entirely believed what Adelo told him, it did not mean that he paid no attention to Adelo’s words. He was very clear about Adelo’s personality. That senior apprentice of his was not somebody who would exaggerate so much. Even if things that happened at the Scar of Death were not entirely the same as what Adelo told him, his words would be very close to the truth.

Even if Adelo spoke a lot of lies, the lives of the over 300 elite bandits would not be a lie.

Those 300 esteemed bandits, including their chief, the level-18 Warrior, Vanskore, got wiped out in 30 minutes. It was a brutal and powerful fight that gave people goosebumps just at the thought of it.

That was the reason why he would retreat overnight. He wanted to avoid the impending confrontation. He even gave up on claiming the favor Sendros promised him. It was true that Sendros was a true Legendary powerhouse. If he were to render his help, he would be the only man that would walk through the Door of Truth…

He could not believe that he would meet him again behind the Door of Truth after everything that had happened…

The first sight of Lin Li caused Hutton’s heart to skip a beat.

Damn it, my plans are ruined…

Hutton did not have time to think otherwise. He only had one thought in mind: he had to think of a way to forge a good relationship with that young president.

“Yeah, what a coincidence…”

Lin Li’s reaction gave Hutton a sense of relief. It seemed that the young guild president had already forgotten the unhappiness that happened between them previously. After hearing his greeting, that man answered him with a very friendly smile.

“Oh, yes, President Felic. I nearly forgot to ask you. What brings you here?”

“Hehe…” Lin Li smiled with the same friendly expression. However, he glanced at that stranger as he spoke, “I had quite some bad luck. I just encountered a sneak attack when I passed by the nest of the Crimson Python. I had no other choice but hide in that nest. Who knew it’d bring me here…”

The expression of the young man changed the moment Lin Li opened his mouth.

“Oh, yes. This is…?” asked Lin Li deliberately after ranting as he glanced at that stranger blankly.

“Oh, right. If not for President Felic’s reminder, I would have forgotten to introduce you to each other…” By this time, Hutton’s smile became extremely awkward. “This is Stephen from the Dark Blade. He is a level-17 Archmage, the best magic talent in the Breezy Plains.” Hutton turned to Stephen, and continued, “This is President Felic, the owner of the Tower of Dusk, a mage that even Senior Adelo respects.”

“It is my pleasure to meet you…” Lin Li greeted Stephen. In fact, that introduction was redundant. Lin Li had guessed it right. Not to mention that there were few Archmages in the Breezy Plains who were younger than 30 years old, there were even fewer who were at level-17. Furthermore, his change in expression upon the mention of a sneak attack gave him away. He knew that this man should be the sworn enemy of the Malfa Family, the heir of the Dark Blade.

“What is the Tower of Dusk? I’ve never heard of it…” Stephen remarked as he looked at Lin Li slightly. “As for trash like Adelo, he is still a level-17 even though he followed Cheyenne for 10 years. If he were to show respect to someone, I guess there’s nothing to be proud of anyway…”

Stephen’s words brought out sparkles in Hutton’s eyes.

That was right. Hutton planned to sow discord between both men. Otherwise, he would not have thought of introducing Stephen to Lin Li after the mention of the sneak attack. That was as good as telling Lin Li plainly that the mastermind behind the sneak attack was the man before him, and that he could take the chance to take revenge immediately.

To Hutton, the personality of the young guild president would bring him to flip the table as soon as he knew the truth. Having killed 300 people in the split of a second, how could he show any respect to somebody from the Dark Blade?

However, Hutton’s optimism did not allow him to expect Stephen to be so accommodating to his plans.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com

He just said that he had not heard of the Tower of Dusk…

That was a plain insult that could enrage anybody, not only that young President Felic.

Now it was great. One was an Archmage that was almost on par with himself, and another was a powerful mage that Adelo admired… If both of them were to start a battle, he was certain that one of them would be dead. By then, it meant that he managed to get rid of one opponent without much effort.

Even if Tutankhamun interfered in the confrontation, there was still nothing for Hutton to lose, either. The two people would not combine forces against him once their relationship had been damaged. To him, that was the most ideal situation.

Unfortunately, Hutton’s hopes were dashed very quickly. Stephen’s words did not affect the bright and passionate smile on President Felic. It was as though the words were a compliment instead of insult.

“Hehe, I like how Mage Stephen is so straightforward…”

How would Lin Li not understand Hutton’s intention of sowing discord between him and Stephen? Hutton had to be waiting for both men to fight and get rid of either opponent…

Of course, Lin Li had no objections to getting rid of Stephen. He was the guy that had sent people to launch a sneak attack on Gavin and his team. That was a score that he would be settling in the future. Now, he did not have the time to do so. How could he think about revenge when he was standing before the son of the Dragon of Destruction?

“Howdy, Mr. Tutankhamun. I can’t believe that we met so quickly again…”

“Hehe, I know you have a lot of burning queries…” Tutankhamun replied. It was as though he knew what Lin Li was thinking about. The mysterious middle-age man was able to predict what was on Lin Li’s mind as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Yes, Mr. Tutankhamun. Could you tell me the reason behind all these happenings?”

“It is because of a promise.” Tutankhamun’s gaze swept past the three men before stopping on Lin Li. “It is a promise that was made more than 1300 years ago. Alright, now that everybody is here, let’s find a nice place to talk about it…”

As Tutankhamun finished his sentence, the scenery around them took a change. The previously deserted land transformed into luscious greenery. The three men saw a wooden cottage hidden behind the thickets, and followed Tutankhamun in its direction. Their eyes were filled with amazement.

Being rare talents in the field of magic, the three men would naturally not take the transformation of their surroundings as an illusion. In fact, the situation was not something that could be explained by an illusion. There was not a single tree or stone that was imaginary here. Even the fragrance carried by the flowers, grass, and soil was as in the real world. That was not what any illusion in the world could achieve. That could only be reality. A reality that changed according to Tutankhamun’s intentions…

“Since you are all here, I bet you have heard about the promise…” Those words were directed to Hutton and Stephen.

Hutton nodded his head respectfully.

“That’s right, Mr. Tutankhamun. According to the records, the Malfa Family would be able to reclaim some things from you after 1300 years.”

“Yeah…” Tutankhamun smiled and shook his head. “There is a problem with your family’s ancient books…”

“Oh?”

“The real owner of those things is not the Malfa Family you were referring to. They were Geresco’s…”

“G-Geresco!?” The three young mages let out a gasp as soon as Tutankhamun finished talking.

Geresco’s name carried some sort of charisma that only the Immortal King had the privilege to challenge in the entire history of Anril.
