How could this be? This doesn't make sense! Cantory yelled in his heart, and even felt a little dizzy as he almost couldn't believe his ears. He had said so much previously, but Lin Li didn't even nod his head. Why did Lin Li agree so readily after he said that he needed help? Could it be that the President of the Tower of Dusk is really a kind-hearted person who enjoys helping others?
However, after snapping out of his shock, Cantory immediately figured out that Lin Li wasn't doing it for the sake of helping others, but was simply trying to increase his bargaining chips during the negotiation. Cooperation was a relationship of equality, while asking for help was a clear distinction between who was stronger and who was weaker. Although the party asking for help couldn't give whatever the other party wanted, they basically had no right to bargain.
At this moment, Lin Li did not negotiate with Cantory about the conditions for his help. Instead, he reached out and drew a line in the air, opening up an extremely deep spatial rift.
Seeing that Lin Li had casually drawn a spatial rift in the air, Cantory was immediately dumbfounded. Although he was only at the peak of the Legendary-realm now, as the disciple of the Illuminati, he had naturally come into contact with real Sanctuary powerhouses. Initially, he had always thought that Lin Li, the ridiculously young Sanctuary powerhouse, had to be a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse like Elvis and the others of the Mithril Alliance who had relied on the magic tides to become a Sanctuary powerhouse.
Although pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses were also Sanctuary powerhouses, they were far inferior to real Sanctuary powerhouses, and there was almost no possibility of them advancing further in the future. That was also the reason that Cantory, who had already reached the peak of the Legendary-realm, did not take this opportunity to break through to the Sanctuary-realm.
At the same time, it was also because of that that Cantory did not take Lin Li, a Sanctuary powerhouse who was younger than him, seriously. In his opinion, although his current strength was inferior to those pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, his future achievements would definitely far surpass those of them.
However, now that he saw Lin Li casually drawing a spatial rift, Cantory immediately had an unbelievable conjecture in his heart. Such means did not seem to be mastered by a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse! He remembered that his teacher had once said that among all the Laws, the Laws of Space might not be the most difficult to comprehend, but it was definitely the most difficult to master. In order to fully master the Laws of Space, the most basic and important thing was to be able to create one's own Domain World, which even some real Sanctuary powerhouses might not be able to do.
Impossible! How old was he? How could he possibly step into the Sanctuary-realm with his own talent? Cantory was recognized as a genius in the Gilded Kingdom, and was known as the best person of the younger generation of the Gilded Kingdom. Even his teacher, the priest of the Illuminati, had given him a high evaluation of his talent. He had always believed that his talent was definitely the best in the entire Anril, not just in the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, he absolutely refused to believe that there would be someone more talented than him in a barbaric and backward place like the Breezy Plains.
Is it some kind of magic equipment? After a careful search, Cantory suddenly discovered that the magic robe that Lin Li was wearing was emitting a vague fluctuation of the Space Laws. This discovery made his eyes light up. I knew it. How could a man in his early twenties master a power that ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses can't master? It seems that the reason must be on that magic robe!
Indeed, Felic had even gotten his hands on the Sky Castle. He might even have obtained some precious magical equipment from the Sky Castle! At the thought of this, Cantory finally regained some confidence in his talent. At the same time, he began to despise Lin Li for opening the spatial rift. In his opinion, Lin Li's purpose of doing so was obviously to flaunt his strength, but could the strength obtained with the help of magical equipment be considered real strength!?
"Envoy Cantory, are you ready to set off?" Lin Li stood in front of the spatial rift, and turned his head to ask Cantory, whose face was gradually regaining some color.
"Yes, okay, anytime." After regaining his confidence, Cantory's expression also became much more relaxed, and his arrogant chin was vaguely raised.
Cantory's change made Lin Li feel a little puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart, and simply stepped into the spatial rift. Cantory arrived in front of the spatial rift, and although there was some hesitation on his face, he still bit the bullet and stepped into it in the end.
When he walked out of the spatial rift, Cantory found that he had already arrived at Rafa City, where the Cartia Family was located. It was also the place where he had previously met with the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains. After doing some calculations in his heart, Cantory knew that it had only taken him a few minutes to travel from the Tower of Dusk to this place through that spatial rift.
However, due to the fact that he had already determined that it was the power of the magic robe, Cantory was not too shocked even though the speed of traveling through the spatial rift was astonishing. He didn't even turn around to look at the spatial rift that was gradually closing. With his usual aristocratic smile on his face, he walked towards Lin Li, and said, "President Felic, the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains are now in Rafa City. Let's discuss the matter regarding Cage Island together."
In the conference hall of the Cartia Family in Rafa City, the representatives who were already preparing to return to their respective forces returned after receiving the notice. To them, the news was really a bit unexpected. Everyone knew that the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom were enemies, and they wondered if the petty president of the Tower of Dusk would really help the Tower of Dusk's team.
After the representatives of the various forces took their seats in the conference hall, Lin Li also walked into the conference hall under Cantory's lead. With Lin Li's appearance, the conference hall, which was originally rather noisy, immediately became dead silent. Almost everyone was so shocked that they could not close their mouths, and it was as if they had suddenly turned into clay sculptures. Their eyes were only staring blankly as Lin Li walked in.
This can't be real, right? That Cantory actually invited President Felic over! Aren't they enemies? In the opinion of the representatives of the various forces, the Tower of Dusk was probably the last force in the entire Breezy Plains to help the Gilded Kingdom.
The Gilded Kingdom's entry into the Breezy Plains had obviously affected the status of the Tower of Dusk. During the previous negotiations, the Tower of Dusk had also attacked the battleship of the Gilded Kingdom, and did not hide the fact that the two parties were enemies. Although the negotiations were considered to have ended satisfactorily, everyone knew that the peace was only temporary, and that there would definitely be a conflict between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom in the future.
That was also the reason that under Cantory's coercion and temptation, they decided to push the Tower of Dusk forward in order not to fall out with the Gilded Kingdom completely. They said that they would help the Tower of Dusk if the Tower of Dusk attacked. They originally thought that the Tower of Dusk would definitely not agree to help the Gilded Kingdom given the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom, and that they would naturally have a reason to shirk the responsibility.
However, they did not expect that President Felic of the Tower of Dusk would actually appear there, and he did not seem to be there to kick the Gilded Kingdom when they were down. That was completely different from what they had expected. In this case, if President Felic of the Tower of Dusk agreed to Cantory's request, they would no longer have a reason to shirk the responsibility, unless they really fell out with the Gilded Kingdom.
Lin Li walked to the middle of the conference hall under everyone's gaze, and instead of sitting down to discuss anything with them, he directly said, "Okay, there's nothing to talk about now. You guys send the news back and ask the old guys in your families to come over."
Lin Li's words shattered the last bit of hope in everyone's hearts. Everyone knew that the old guys he was referring to were the powerhouses of the various forces like Elvis and the others who lived in seclusion. They did not think that the young president of the Tower of Dusk would call the hidden powerhouses of the various forces over just for a chat.
After saying that, Lin Li did not say anything else, and instead turned around to leave the conference hall. It wasn't until Lin Li's figure disappeared from the door of the conference hall that the conference hall became noisy again. Everyone was discussing Lin Li's appearance. They could not understand how the arrogant Cantory managed to convince the president of the Tower of Dusk to take action, given the hostile relationship between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk.
However, regardless of whether they could understand it or not, none of them dared to take Lin Li's words lightly. After all, they did not know what would happen if they offended the Gilded Kingdom, but they were well aware of the consequences of offending the Tower of Dusk. Besides, they all felt that Lin Li, the young president of the Tower of Dusk, would definitely not do anything without benefits. The reason why he agreed to the Gilded Kingdom's request for help was probably because he had some secrets about Cage Island, and there might really be something impressive there.
After a fruitless discussion, the crowd did not dare to delay any longer. After all, they were only representatives of their respective forces, and could not really make a decision on this matter. Hence, after they left the conference hall, they immediately sent the news back to their respective forces through various means.
Looking at the empty conference hall, Cantory's emotions were rather complicated at this moment. On one hand, he had completed Elder Zumar's entrustment, and found help for the kingdom's team. He was overjoyed, as if he had been relieved of a huge burden. On the other hand, he had also seen the prestige of the young president of the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains from the scene just now, which made him feel somewhat jealous and resentful.
He was a special envoy of the Gilded Kingdom and a proud disciple of the Illuminati, yet his reputation was not as useful as that of the president of a local force. That made Cantory feel rather indignant. At the same time, he was also well aware of one thing, and that was that if the Gilded Kingdom wanted to expand and develop in the Breezy Plains, the Tower of Dusk would definitely be an obstacle that they could not get around.
However, Cantory was not very worried about that issue, because he had already determined that the young president of the Tower of Dusk was just a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse. In his opinion, as long as Elder Zumar was free, it would definitely be a piece of cake for him to deal with a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse who had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm with the help of external forces.
In less than half a day, the hidden powerhouses of the various forces who received the news rushed to the small city of Rafah without delay. Unlike Cantory, they did not think that Lin Li was just a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse. They might not be very clear about Lin Li's true strength, but they definitely had a very clear understanding of it.
They were pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses themselves, and with the help of a trace of understanding of the Sanctuary-realm, they naturally had a more realistic sense of Lin Li's strength. They could completely feel the huge and almost insurmountable gap between Lin Li's strength and theirs. However, regardless of whether they knew what Cantory was thinking or not, no one would remind him.
The first to see Lin Li were the three pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, Elvis, Abrad, and Megett. After they saluted and greeted Lin Li, the first question Elvis asked was the same as the doubts in the minds of the representatives of the various forces, and that was why Lin Li agreed to Cantory's request. Even though Lin Li had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, Elvis and the others still found Lin Li's thoughts unbelievable. Could it be that Sanctuary powerhouses like to help others?
"Master Felic, the Gilded Kingdom did not communicate with any of us beforehand regarding the matter of Cage Island. Now that something has happened, they thought of us. Why did you still agree to help them? Wouldn't it be better to let them suffer a huge loss on Cage Island!? " At the thought of being humiliated by the people of the Gilded Kingdom in Port Tim, Elvis was indescribably furious. How could he be willing to help the Gilded Kingdom?
In the opinion of Elvis and the others, it would be better for the Gilded Kingdom's team to be destroyed this time. With the strength of that team, it would definitely be an unbearable loss no matter how strong the Gilded Kingdom was. That way, they could let those arrogant guys know that the Breezy Plains was not a place where they could do whatever they wanted.
However, Lin Li smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Actually, you guys have to thank the Gilded Kingdom for this matter. If they hadn't triggered the changes on Cage Island in advance, you might not have known what exactly is hidden there."
Lin Li's words made Elvis and the rest perk up immediately, and they all thought in unison, Indeed, I knew he wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit him. He obviously knows what secrets are hidden on Cage Island.
Although Elvis and the others could not be considered true Sanctuary powerhouses, they had, after all, stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and had some understanding of the mental state of a true Sanctuary powerhouse.
