They were well aware that for a true Sanctuary powerhouse, everyone below the Sanctuary-realm was insignificant. For example, when Rodhart wreaked havoc in the Breezy Plains, the Ashen Warlock definitely had the ability to stop him, but he didn't do anything at all. It was because in the eyes of the Ashen Warlock, no matter how many people died in the Breezy Plains, they were just insignificant ants that were not worth his effort.
Hence, after receiving the news that Lin Li had agreed to help the Gilded Kingdom, Elvis and the others did not believe that Lin Li was being helpful, nor did they believe that he was compassionate. They believed that there was only one real reason, and that was that there was definitely something on Cage Island that was enough to attract a Sanctuary powerhouse.
"Master Felic, do you know anything about Cage Island?" Elvis asked cautiously. Although he also knew in his heart that even if there was really something impressive on Cage Island, his strength did not seem to be enough to compete with the Gilded Kingdom or the Tower of Dusk, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
However, Lin Li shook his head, and said, "You'll have to ask the people of the Gilded Kingdom what's under Cage Island. However, there's one thing I want to remind you about. You should all be very clear about the legend of Cage Island. There has been no movement on Cage Island for so many years, but there has been such a huge commotion this time. Maybe that legend is not just a legend. "
"Master Felic, do you mean that there is really an ancient evil dragon imprisoned under Cage Island?" Lin Li's words made Elvis and the others a little surprised. After all, in the opinion of ordinary people, legends were extremely unreliable.
"Regardless of whether it's an ancient evil dragon or something else, no one can tell how long Cage Island has existed in the Breezy Plains. It seems to have existed since before the Dark Age. Since that thing on Cage Island can exist for such a long time, it's definitely not simple. It might be a powerful existence that is at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. Once that thing breaks free, I'm afraid the entire Breezy Plains will be destroyed. " Lin Li did not give them an affirmative answer, and instead merely analyzed the situation based on what they knew.
In fact, what Lin Li said was almost the same as the reason that Cantory had used to persuade the representatives of the various forces. However, Elvis and the others could choose not to believe Cantory because he represented the Gilded Kingdom, but they had to take Lin Li's words to heart.
Hence, after hearing Lin Li's words, Elvis and the others did not have any doubts at all, and their expressions changed drastically. What really shocked them was not the destruction of the Breezy Plains, but the peak of the Sanctuary-realm that Lin Li had mentioned.
The word "destruction" had different meanings for different people. For ordinary people, it might be a disaster that plunged lives into misery and suffering. But that kind of disaster might not be a big deal to the ancient forces that Elvis and the others belonged to, which had a deep foundation. It was just like how the Retribution Knight Rodhart had wreaked havoc in the Breezy Plains back then. Although the population of the Breezy Plains had been reduced by nearly half in that disaster, the Mithril Alliance and other forces still persevered.
However, when Lin Li mentioned the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, there was another term for the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, which was called demigod, which meant that one was only half a step away from becoming a true deity. If the unknown existence trapped in Cage Island really had the terrifying power of the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, the Breezy Plains would probably not be the only ones that would be destroyed. The forces would definitely not be spared too. That would be the true destruction of everything. Even Elvis and the others, who were pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, would probably not only be unable to protect their forces, but also their own lives.
"The peak of the Sanctuary-realm!" Elvis and the others swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and looked at Lin Li with pale faces, seemingly hoping that Lin Li was just joking.
However, Lin Li did not let them get their wish, and instead continued, "You should know that nothing in this world is eternal, let alone a seal that can trap such a powerful existence. The people of the Gilded Kingdom should have just touched the seal in advance, and thus awakened the existence that was sealed. This is an opportunity for us. Otherwise, when that thing comes out of Cage Island on its own, we won't have a chance anymore. "
"In that case, we really can't just stand by and watch. If we really let that thing escape, the people of the Gilded Kingdom can hide overseas, and the forces of the Breezy Plains will be the ones to suffer." Elvis and the others were clearly moved by Lin Li's words.
"Yes, it seems that we are helping the Gilded Kingdom now, but from another perspective, the Gilded Kingdom is also helping us suppress that unknown existence. Hence, we are actually on the same side as the Gilded Kingdom regarding the matter of Cage Island. "Lin Li's meaning was actually very simple, and that was, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Regardless of what kind of relationship the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk had with the various forces of the Breezy Plains, they at least had a common goal regarding the matter of Cage Island.
However, Lin Li did not tell Elvis and the others everything. There was still a very important point that he did not mention, and that was the aura that he felt from Cage Island, which gave him a rather familiar feeling. That was also the reason that he was convinced that the legend about Cage Island was not fabricated, because the aura made him vaguely guess that the ancient evil dragon sealed under Cage Island was very likely to be the one he knew.
After Lin Li talked to Elvis and the others, the hidden powerhouses of the various forces also rushed to Rafa City one after another. There were even a few who had not shown their faces for hundreds or thousands of years, and outsiders thought that they had died many years ago. To their surprise, all of them actually came out this time.
When almost everyone had arrived, everyone once again gathered in the conference hall. More than 10 of them were so-called pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, and the remaining 30 to 40 were peak Legendary powerhouses. Although the number of people was much smaller than before, after all, not every force had a capable powerhouse, the conference hall was filled with a terrifying aura that was not present before.
Even Cantory, who had always been arrogant, couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he saw the strength that the forces of the Breezy Plains had suddenly displayed. Of course, the shock only lasted for a moment. Cantory was well aware that the forces of the Breezy Plains were like scattered sand. Although there were many powerhouses, they would not be able to contend with the Gilded Kingdom if they could not gather into a force.
"Okay, Envoy Cantory, those who should be here have already arrived. Shouldn't you give us a detailed introduction about the actual situation of Cage Island?" Although Lin Li was sitting casually in a seat in the conference hall, he made everyone feel that the many powerhouses present were vaguely following his lead.
Looking at the many powerhouses seated below, Cantory knew that he had finally reached the final stage of his mission. As long as the information he gave next could satisfy everyone, the rescue mission would be considered completed. However, he was not a brat who did not know anything. Naturally, he could not tell everyone the information that he had grasped without missing a single detail.
"I know that there has always been a legend about Cage Island in the Breezy Plains. What I want to tell you now is that the legend is not just a legend. " Cantory weighed the pros and cons carefully in his heart before selectively telling everyone about the information he had.
Cantory's words undoubtedly verified the conjecture that Lin Li had previously told everyone, and that also caused the expressions of everyone in the conference hall to change slightly. When everyone thought about how they had actually been neighbors with a terrifying existence who was a demigod for so many years, even those who had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
However, not everyone believed Cantory's words. After all, only Elvis and a few others had heard Lin Li's conjecture before, and only believed the truth of the matter after combining the two. However, most people were hearing it for the first time, so they naturally couldn't believe it easily.
Hence, after a short period of shock, someone immediately stood up to question Cantory, and said, "I don't want to say that this is an alarmist, but Cage Island is in the Breezy Plains, and for so many years, we have all known about its strangeness, but we have never been able to confirm the legend that there is an ancient evil dragon sealed on the island. The Gilded Kingdom is far away, but does it know more about Cage Island than we do? "
Cantory, who had always been arrogant, had a sullen expression because his words had been questioned. However, at the thought that the group of people in front of him would be the key to helping his kingdom's team escape, he had no choice but to suppress his displeasure, and explain to everyone, "It's a coincidence that we can grasp the situation on Cage Island. This can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the Gilded Kingdom."
The Gilded Kingdom was established by a group of people who had traveled overseas from Anril before the Dark Age. Back then, the one who led those people overseas and built a home on the island was Sabel, who was known as the Great Sage by the later generations.
Legend had it that Sabel was once a noble lord of the Dolon Kingdom along the southern coast of the Felan Kingdom. Very early on, he had already seen the changes in the situation in Anril, and knew that the High Elves would definitely become the ruler of the entire continent. Besides, he also foresaw that after the High Elves ruled the entire continent, they would use cruel and oppressive means to rule the other races.
Hence, Sabel led the people of his territory who were willing to follow him, and built dozens of large ships to avoid the impending war. Of course, the Endless Ocean was not an easy journey, and their journey was not smooth sailing, either. If it weren't for Sabel's ability to foresee the future, the dozens of ships would probably have been overturned by the storm or torn apart by the massive sea beasts.
Even so, when Sabel's fleet reached the first island that was suitable for survival and development, half of the fleet had already been left at the bottom of the Endless Ocean forever. The people who survived began to build their homes on the island under Sabel's leadership. In the process of building their homes, Sabel personally led the fleet back and forth between the island and the mainland countless times, and transported a large number of people to the island.
Hence, when the Dark Age arrived, there were two places that the people on the mainland yearned for the most. One was the Rotterdam Kingdom, which was ruled by gentle means, and the other was the Gilded Kingdom, which was known as a pure land overseas.
With the influx of a large number of people, the Great Sage Sabel organized some capable people to form a pioneering team, and began to expand their living space to the surrounding islands. In the process of pioneering, they discovered that there were actually many ruins left behind from ancient times on the islands that they thought had never been on before. The technology of the alchemical battleships of the Gilded Kingdom was obtained from several ruins of the goblins during the pioneering process.
The information about Cage Island was also discovered by the pioneering team led by Sabel from a place that was suspected to be the ruins of the Titans. In the ruins, they obtained a map that pointed to Cage Island in the Breezy Plains. At the same time, a document that was discovered along with the map told them that there was a powerful ancient evil dragon sealed under Cage Island.
"Map? In that case, Special Envoy Cantory, can you take out that map and let us take a look? After all, you're the only one who said these things, and we can't tell if they're true or not. It's better to produce some credible evidence. " The person who questioned Cantory just now suddenly interrupted Cantory's narration, and loudly requested to see the map, which was immediately echoed by the others.
If it was just an ancient evil dragon, would the Gilded Kingdom have to come all the way overseas? Anyway, even if the ancient evil dragon really broke free, it would only harm the Breezy Plains, and it had nothing to do with the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, the people of the forces of the Breezy Plains all wanted to know the true purpose of the Gilded Kingdom, and the map would undoubtedly be a good clue.
Why is it this guy again!? Cantory's eyes were filled with anger as he looked in the direction of the voice. The person who spoke was actually an old man who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and he came from an inconspicuous family. Normally, Cantory wouldn't have bothered to deal with such a person, but now, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"I'm sorry, the original copy of the map is too precious, and is now stored in the treasure vault of the royal family. I have a copy of the map with me. If you don't mind, you can take a look together." While speaking, Cantory took out a map that looked very new from his spatial ring.
