Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Mentor and Student

Since even the most ignorant man would have known about Felan Kingdom’s Legendary-mage—Andoine—nothing was needed to be explained about him. The elite like the Pharmacists Guild would also not dare to neglect his presence despite his lack of proficiency in pharmacy.

As for Amman’s abilities, it was too meaningless to talk about them…

To Amman, Andoine’s ability to reach the Legendary Realm a few decades ago was like a miracle. Being one of the important members in the Supreme Council, this slovenly old man had the future of all the mages of Anril in his hands.

When Andoine stood there, Amman dared not to breathe…

Andoine was in good mood. As he walked towards them, he did not fail to greet some familiar pharmacists cheerfully.

When he saw Amman, his expression became a little doubtful. “You are…?”

“Master Andoine, I’m Amman from Thunder City. You gave me some advice when you came to Thunder City 30 years ago.”

“Oh… I remember it now!” Andoine vaguely remembered that when he’d just reached the Legendary Realm 30 years ago, he visited Thunder City once. As for whether he did give any advice to Amman, he could not remember anymore. It was no big deal to him.

Of course…

He had some impression of Amman since he was the president of Thunder City Guild of Magic.

“Oh, yes. Amman, is the young man beside you your student?” After asking, Andoine looked at Milo again.

“Yes, yes. His name is Milo. Quick, Milo. Greet Master Andoine.”

“Nice to meet you, Master Andoine.”

“Hehe, your student is quite talented, Amman. I suppose he had reached the Magic Shooter Realm already?”

“Yes, Master Andoine. Milo had reached Level-12 three months ago.” Although Amman was very polite, he could not help but feel proud of his talented student. He never had to worry for him at all. After the trainee stage, Milo always improved exponentially. It was rare to have any students who had become a Level-12 Magic Shooter at the age of 25 and had good attainments in pharmaceutics.

“Not bad, not bad.” Andoine nodded his head. Then, he asked curiously, “Oh, yes. What happened just now? Why was it so noisy just now?”

“Hehe, nothing much. It’s just a small argument between immature youngsters.” Amman was trembling in excitement due to being able to meet the legendary figure. How would he care about the conflict between two youngsters? To be honest, he only felt that the younger mage was a little rude. Since the young mage did not offend him, he would just let him purchase those flowers. In his opinion, the young mage should be able to realize the uselessness of those flowers afterwards.

“Hehe, youngsters are indeed more hot-tempered…” Andoine laughed. However, his face ashened after he saw Lin Li trying to hide amidst the crowd.

Since Milo was the nearest to Andoine, he could observe the changes in his facial expression the clearest. When he saw Andoine’s expression change, he was so elated.

That unlucky fella is going to get it!

That was a valid prediction. Andoine had still been in good spirits when he walked over, and still full of cordiality when he talked to himself. Would there be a need to explain the reason behind the change in his expression after seeing that young mage? The young mage must have had offended him before. Now that they met again so coincidentally, anyone would know the consequences just by thinking with their knees.

Milo was definitely elated.

He had wanted to teach that fella a lesson himself. Now, Master Andoine could help him do it.

This fella is doomed!

His mentor would stop him if he were to beat the fella up. Who would dare to stop Master Andoine?

“Felic.” Andoine stood there with a terrifying expression.

Lin Li’s heart skipped a beat. He turned back to see Andoine glaring at himself mercilessly. “What’s the matter…” Lin Li asked as he smiled awkwardly, knowing he could not escape from him.

“What’s the matter?” Andoine’s nose nearly distorted out of anger. “You still dare to ask me?” The pitch of his hoarse voice rose by a few keys.

“…”

Milo was beyond elated to know that that fella was in the soup. Even if he was not going to die, he was going to be skinned alive.

“I’ve told you just now to behave yourself and not cause any trouble. It has only been a while, and you have started a conflict with people. Are you intending to piss me off to death?”

“I didn’t do that on purpose…”

“Not on purpose?” Andoine glared at him while his boney finger nearly poked into his head. “Do you want to tell me that Mage Milo provoked you himself?”

Andoine was still enraged. The people around them, however, started to sense something weird…

W-why… why did that sound so familiar?

A few older ones among then had a sudden realization. Isn’t that how I always scold my students?

Could it be possible that that young mage who looked extremely wronged was the student of the Legendary-mage Andoine?

This sudden thought shook everyone.

Andoine had already reached the Legendary Realm a few decades ago. Throughout these years, countless mages had tried to become his students. Everyone knew that by becoming the student of a Legendary-mage, they could be a step away from success.

Furthermore, Andoine held an important position in the Supreme Council, and had the deepest knowledge in magic. If they had such a connection, they would gain access to all these benefits.

However, the problem was…

Andoine’s expectations were too high. All these years, many mages tried all their ways to become his students, yet none actually succeeded. And the reason was just that Andoine was not interested in those mediocre people.

Let us look at Gryffindor from the Alanna Guild of Magic…

After Gryffindor had reached Level-9 at the age of 16, Aldwin wanted to recommend him to Andoine. But, he did not expect Andoine to say, “That fella has no talent. He is not suitable to be my student.”

Look! The magic genius of Felan Kingdom was not qualified to be his student!

Now that people knew how Andoine belittled Gryffindor’s talents, did that mean the young mage before them actually had a stronger potential?

At once, everyone looked at Lin Li curiously.

Milo took quite a while to understand the meaning behind the words exchanged by the duo.

When he realized that there was a high chance the young mage might be Andoine’s student, his jaw nearly dropped…

T-t-that’s… how is that possible?

Milo did not want to believe that it was true. How could that fella in cahoots with a con man be the student of Andoine? It could not be so!

“How would Mage Milo provoke me by himself…?” Lin Li shook his head. “He just had some misunderstanding with me.”

“What misunderstanding?” Andoine frowned.

“Mage Milo felt that I had ill intentions—that I am in cahoots with some fat man to con them into buying a bunch of trashy herbs…” Lin Li said in a casual tone as if he was narrating other people’s story.

“What?”

Andoine was shocked. He looked at Lin Li, then at Milo. Milo felt that Andoine attitude towards him was not as gentle as before.

“I had explained, but Mage Milo did not want to believe me…” Lin Li summarized the entire incident in just a few lines. “Then, we naturally started quarrelling…” Lin Li said as he shrugged his shoulders.

“Oh…” Andoine nodded his head, and did not say anything more. He turned his head to look at the trembling Amman.

Although he did not say anything, his expression caused everyone’s heart to skip a beat. It was obvious that Milo’s accusation had agitated that Legendary-mage.

It was alright to suspect anyone but the student of Andoine as a con man. That was as though one were to give Andoine a tight slap on his face. With Andoine’s status, it would be weird if he did not confront them for an explanation.

Andoine did not look at Milo again. He treated him like air.

Of course, it was normal for Andoine to do that.

For someone with his status, Amman was already considered somebody whom he barely talked with. As for Milo, to put it in a good way, he was considered a promising youngster. If not, he was just any nameless soul. Being the Legendary-mage like Andoine, he would not vent his anger on a nameless soul.

“Master Andoine, p-please… please listen to my explanation…” Amman pled in fear under Andoine’s glare. Although he was a level-17 Archmage that oversaw the entire Thunder City Guild of Magic, he could not bear the anger of a Legendary-mage. If Andoine really wanted to seek trouble, the entire Thunder City would be doomed, let alone Amman himself.
