The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 47 Autumn Hunting
The tall and thin man in front of him was quite old, with inverted triangle eyes. He was staring at him with a gloomy expression.

Lin En thought about it and tried to say in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid that's not my fault, sir."

"If it's not your responsibility, then is it my responsibility?"

The man was sarcastic and had a bad attitude.

Lin En's heart sank slightly, realizing that this matter might not be so easy to resolve.

He continued to examine the tall and thin man in front of him and discovered more details.

On the chest of the tall and thin man's wizard robe was a red badge with a pattern of twisted blood-red lines.

Lynn recognized the badge; it was the symbol of the Bloodline Society.

Golden Shadow, Blood Pattern, and Snake Gang are the three largest gangs in Cuilin City.

Judging from the style of the badge, the tall and thin man in front of him is also a third-class wizard apprentice.

Trouble...

But just as the two were confronting each other.

The waiter from the Cuiman Restaurant next door had noticed the situation here and ran over to call another waitress of a higher rank who was not far away.

"Sir Lin, let me handle it."

The waitress came to Lynn and said:
Turning back, the first thing that caught Lin En's eyes was the pair of cat-like yellow and blue eyes... This was an acquaintance.

This was the waitress who greeted him when he first came to Cuiman Restaurant. Her name seemed to be... Adeline.

Lynn nodded slightly at her and moved aside to let Adeline walk to the front.

Adeline looked at the tall and thin man with an impeccable smile on her face:
“Your Excellency, Cuiman Restaurant has noticed everything that happened. We are very sorry for what happened and we understand your feelings.

"So, to express our apology, Cuiman Restaurant is willing to bear the loss of your witch robe and waive the cost of your meal. Do you think this is okay?"

Adeline did not argue about the right or wrong of the matter, but simply expressed her apology and offered compensation.

In most cases, this approach works.

Unfortunately, this time is not included.

After hearing what Adeline said, the tall and thin man half-closed his eyes, and not only did he not give up, but he seemed to be stimulated and turned his palm!
Swish!
A palm-sized fireball suddenly flew out, aiming directly at Adeline in front of him!
The cat-eyed waitress had obviously never experienced such a situation before, and she was caught off guard and stood still.

Fortunately, Lin En on the side was prepared. He drew the long sword at his waist and extinguished the fireball at the critical moment.

slam-la-

The remaining flames splashed everywhere, and the few customers who were in the restaurant that morning saw this and stood up and stood further away.

The magic formation of Cuiman Restaurant also detected the attack fluctuations at this moment, and countless vines spontaneously spread out and stretched towards Lin En and the others.

Whizzing--

At the same time, Lin En also put out a small wind shield, and a strong cyclone blocked the tall and thin man.

But after throwing the fireball, the tall and thin man did not take the next step. Instead, there was a hint of annoyance on his face.

It seemed that the attack just now was just a momentary impulse.

He just stood there quietly, looking at the cyclone created by the small wind shield in front of him, and examining the sword in Lin En's hand, wondering what he was thinking.

A moment later, the second-class member of the Golden Shadow Society who was on duty at Cuiman Restaurant arrived at the scene.

After briefly understanding the situation, he motioned for Lin En and the other person to sit aside.

"Leave it to me next."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Orlando."

Lynn thanked him and walked to the side with Adeline.

While walking, Adeline was still in shock, trembling all over, her legs were weak, and she almost fell down for several moments. It was no wonder she was like this, after all, if Lin En hadn't taken action just now, she would probably have died on the spot.

"Ancot, what do you mean by attacking our members in the Golden Shadow Society's property... Is the Blood Mark Society planning to go to war with the Golden Shadow Society?"

On the other side, Orlando, a second-class member, questioned the tall and thin man without any hesitation.

"Ankot..."

Lin En silently memorized the tall and thin man's name.

Facing the second-class wizard apprentice, Ancot's momentum obviously weakened.

He explained: “Sir Orlando, I just acted on impulse.

"Besides, I didn't attack any members of the Golden Shadow Society. I only attacked an ordinary waiter."

"An ordinary waiter? But what I heard was that you were attacking our third-class member, Lynn Kent."

"I did have a dispute with him, but I'm not crazy enough to attack him here... If you don't believe this, Lord Orlando, you can ask the people around you."

As he spoke, Ancot gritted his teeth and took out 10 primary magic stones from his body, saying with some pain:
"I am willing to take responsibility for my impulsiveness. This is compensation to the waiter. I am also willing to bear the losses of Cuiman Restaurant."

As he spoke, he took out five more primary magic stones.

This straightforward and submissive look made Orlando visibly stunned.

He frowned and thought carefully for a moment, but suddenly realized that he couldn't say anything more.

If Ancott had attacked Lynn, things wouldn't have ended so simply.

But the reality is that Ancot only attacked a waiter.

Now that Ancot is willing to take the initiative to compensate, it is the best possible scenario.

What else could one ask for, to have a third-class wizard apprentice from the Blood Mark Society pay for the life of a waiter?

Not to mention that Adeline was fine, even if Adeline was really dead, it would be difficult for Ancot to pay such a price.

But Orlando stroked his chin, feeling unhappy, and continued in a deep voice:

"Apologize. I need you to apologize to Cui Man Restaurant."

"Of course no problem." Ancot nodded, glanced at Lin En, and suddenly said,

“I can apologize to the Cuiman Restaurant and the Golden Shadow Society, but Mr. Lin En also needs to apologize to me.

"After all, if he hadn't been standing in the middle of the road for no reason, there wouldn't have been this farce."

Lin En frowned, but saw Orlando chuckled:
"Really? What I heard was that you accidentally spilled the green vine juice, but you blamed others instead."

Lin En was slightly stunned. Orlando actually didn't know the specific details yet, but he said this without hesitation.

"Perhaps... this is the benefit of having someone behind you."

If he were just a helpless wild wizard now, the result would probably be the other way around.

Upon hearing this, the skinny Ancott's face suddenly darkened. He put down the magic stone, stared at Lin En for the last time, and left Cuiman Restaurant without saying a word.

Orlando did not stop him, but handed the magic stone to Adeline and said to Lin En:
“You should be careful these days.

“That Ancot is a frequent customer of Cuiman’s restaurant, and he is particularly stingy.

“The relationship between his Blood Mark Society and our Golden Shadow Society is not very good. Now that the Autumn Hunt is approaching, the atmosphere between us is even more tense, so it is inevitable that there will be some friction.

"I guess that's why Ankote took the initiative to cause trouble for you."

"Autumn hunting?"

Lin En noticed a word that sounded familiar but seemed like a word he had never heard of before, and asked subconsciously.
