"Fortune Gathering Restaurant", the venue of Luo Yunxi's luncheon, was located near another crossing.
Mage Mo Feng did not have any qualms using the resources of his own faction. He directly requested for a Maybach and also Wang Ruoling along.
Lin Qi sat in the backseat of the Maybach. Through the reflection of the car window, he saw Wang Ruoling, who was wearing a mask and looking nonchalant.
It was hard to imagine the emotions she had revealed just a few minutes ago.
The world of adults was too deep.
Well-versed in the card game Werewolves of Miller's Hollow, Lin Qi knew what Wang Luoqing meant by "destroying" Lost Island. If it was really a decision she had made after seeing the admission results a few days ago, he would have opened the car door on the spot and jumped into the Eternal Gathering River to feed the fishes.
What a great joke.
As an idol, her schedule would be packed with programs, variety shows, singing, brand ambassador activities, corporate performances and many television dramas and movies. But she was able to squeeze out time to memorize a huge amount of "basic knowledge". Without her fierce drive to destroy everything, it was simply impossible.
If he had jumped out at that time and acted like he was doing it for her own good, explaining to her about the power behind Lost Island and advising her not to go on this fool's errand, Wang Ruoling would have definitely agreed and then turn around to strike his name out of her list of trusted partners and shut him out of her plans.
As her partner, he should regard the destruction of Lost Island as his lifelong goal.
Although Lin Qi hated gambling, it was a little risky to participate in this endeavor.
Well, it depended on what benefits Wang Ruoling was willing to give.
Thinking up to this point, he looked at Mo Feng, who was listening to music via earphones in the front row. He could not help but fall into deep thought.
Lin Qi himself needed to face the Luo clan's hatred, and now there was the elder sister Luo Yunxi, who was also a wizard.
Since when did a family of three mages become so cheap?
The only explanation was that it was a large mage clan with other family members who had not gone crazy too.
Meanwhile, Wang Ruoling had a feud with the gambling paradise, Lost Island.
They all had "needs" and required the help of the hidden faction behind them!
Damn it, he was just like the casino staff. He targeted those gamblers who lost and lent them more money to recoup their losses. There were even five-star hotel stays, Michelin restaurants meals and Bentley chauffeur services as tag-on benefits. However, most of these "loans'' would have the assets owned by the target as guarantees. After losing, the assets would change hands.
He did not find it strange. In addition to what Wang Ruoling had said, it could only be said that Golden Dawn had deliberately chosen people like them who had "aspirations".
At this moment, the car slowly drove into the restaurant's parking lot.
Lin Qi's thoughts returned to the upcoming luncheon. He asked curiously, "Mage Mo Feng, what magic item do you think they will give me as an apology gift?"
Magical items were the only way for ordinary people to break through the barrier of magic and learn spells.
However, due to the power and danger of magic items, the Association had stipulated that most of them could only be used by mage apprentices, limiting their circulation among the commoners.
Therefore, even if the most wealthy tycoons wanted to use them, they would have to hire mage apprentices as "magic consultants".
Mo Feng's face was full of disdain. "I said to give a 'dragon pearl', but can she really give that?"
"Dragon pearl? The legendary weapon that can control dragons?" The originally calm Wang Ruoling suddenly asked. "Mage Mo Feng, are there really dragons in this world? But why haven't we seen it before?"
Mo Feng realized his slip of the tongue and waved his hand awkwardly. "Children shouldn't ask too many questions."
As he spoke, he sighed as well. "Some secrets can only be obtained by swearing an oath in your own name. It's not the time yet for you two."
Dragons?
Lin Qi nodded. After knowing one's inner motives, it made it much easier to analyze and deduce one's line of thought.
Wang Ruoling appeared tempted. She must be thinking of controlling a dragon to destroy Lost Island. Even the proudest woman possessed a violent heart.
Fortune Gathering Restaurant was a high-end banquet venue. After Lin Qi and the other two got off the car, they were escorted all the way inside and up into the elevator. Their guide introduced the history of the restaurant and the featured dishes for lunch.
It was arranged for Wang Ruoling to have a decadent meal at a nearby dining area. Meanwhile, Lin Qi and Mo Feng entered a private room which had already been reserved.
Unexpectedly, there was only a mature and charming lady sitting on the sofa and brewing tea.
There were a total of 24 large round tables in the middle, but no dishes had been served yet. There were only four dining sets laid out.
"Yunxi, it's only been a few days since we last met, but you look even more elegant." Mo Feng greeted her directly and sat on the European-style sofa.
Lin Qi immediately noted that the woman, who was wearing a blue midriff and a trendy pair of casual jeans, was Luo Yunxi.
She had a head of wavy, black hair and a very hot, voluptuous figure.
Lin Qi sat down next to Mo Feng. A refreshing fragrance entered his nose. It was completely different from any perfume on the market, making him suddenly feel a little dizzy. His cheeks heated up.
Mo Feng could not help but tug at his robe for air. "Yunxi, this is against the rules. Using a love potion paired with ambergris. This is your ultimate move."
"How can that be?" The charming Luo Yunxi smiled sweetly. "I didn't have you drink it. Can't I just use it as perfume?"
However, Lin Qi's mind immediately turned cold. Cutting off his outer senses, he controlled his consciousness to enter the "Memory Palace". He then slowly flipped open the book "Records of Perfume Attack Strategies".
Ambergris was produced by the sperm whale. It had a soft, velvety fragrance and was often used as a stabilizing agent for perfumes.
It also acted as the base of the perfume so that the fragrance would last for a long time.
Most people used the fragrance of ambergris, musk, civetta and castoréum just to enhance their own personal scent.
If someone gave Lin Qi a love potion, he would definitely fall in love with the other party over the next few hours.
However, if the person used "ambergris" to amplify the "love potion" and her own personal scent, it would have an aphrodisiac effect.
In fact, he would have this automatic reaction the next time he encountered her and smelled her scent.
Lin Qi immediately hid his consciousness in his memory palace and silently recited a classic children's song in his mind.
"Twinkle twinkle little star… how I wonder what you are."
Only when he felt the urge in his body subside and felt he had the bearing of a saint did he walk out of the memory palace and look at the woman in front of him.
At this moment, Luo Yunxi noticed that Lin Qi's flushed face had gradually calmed down. She recalled her companion's warning and became even more vigilant.
Her expression warmed like the first melting of snow in the spring breeze. "Seeing Student Lin Qi's appearance, I also think that what happened previously might have been a misunderstanding. But in order to express my apology, I'll get straight to the point. I hope you can forgive my parents' impudence the last time."
She then handed over the gift box beside her. "This is a token of our sincerity. A magic robe that will suit you very well."
"Huh?" Lin Qi looked at Mo Feng in surprise.
Mo Feng also looked uncharacteristically serious .
"Bone Robe, a robe specially prepared for necromancers."
