"In that case, who do you think is qualified to do this? Deputy Chairman? Alright then, from today onwards, Felic will be the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council. If you have any objections, you can keep them to yourselves, "Apophis said nonchalantly. Apohis said nonchalantly. Appointing a deputy chairman of the Supreme Council was as easy as drinking water for him.
Apophis' words immediately made everyone in the conference hall dumbfounded. No one dared to believe their ears, and they thought, That's too rash of a decision. He actually made a deputy chairman of the Supreme Council with just one sentence? However, they all knew that Apophis was definitely not joking. In fact, the Supreme Council could really appoint a deputy chairman and a deputy chairman with just a word from the arbitrators. However, the three arbitrators had always been indifferent to the matters of the Supreme Council. Hence, they allowed the Supreme Council to elect their own chairman and deputy chairman.
In fact, although everyone found it unbelievable, they would think that it was actually very normal after thinking about it carefully. The Supreme Council seemed to be very impressive to them, but to the three arbitrators, it was probably just like a toy. Apophis casually appointed a deputy chairman as if he was playing a game and randomly added a rule.
Rosen was even more dumbfounded at this moment. He had originally planned to chase Lin Li out of the Supreme Council so that he could take over the Tower of Dusk. However, he did not expect Lin Li to suddenly become a deputy chairman like himself. Besides, Rosen couldn't figure out if Apophis was appointing Lin Li as the new Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council, or if Lin Li was going to replace him as the Deputy Chairman. If it was the latter, Rosen would really be going for wool and coming home shorn.
However, Rosen dared not ask that question. Right now, Apophis was clearly furious. If he didn't ask, perhaps he wouldn't even remember. If he asked, what if he directly said that he was going to be fired from his position as deputy chairman? That would really be too much for him to bear.
Lin Li, who had been newly appointed as deputy chairman, did not have much of an expression on his face at this moment. He simply looked at Apophis with a meaningful gaze. Although he didn't say anything, there was obviously no gratitude in his eyes.
What a joke, it's just a deputy chairman. What's there to be grateful about!? Lin Li did not forget that he had been forcefully appointed as the fourth arbitrator in the deal with the three arbitrators back then, but it was not announced. Lin Li had agreed to be the fourth arbitrator rather reluctantly back then. How could he get excited over a deputy chairman?
Apophis sensed the meaning in Lin Li's gaze, and he actually smiled awkwardly. "Okay, there's nothing else. Felic, you'd better tell us why you're here. Are you here to tease them because you're bored? "
"Of course. I've come here to borrow something from the three arbitrators." Lin Li said while following Apophis out of the conference hall. When he passed by Andoine and the others, he deliberately gave them a reassuring look.
Watching Apophis and Lin Li disappear outside the door, the people in the conference hall became lively all of a sudden. Everyone was in disbelief about what had just happened. The fact that there was suddenly another deputy chairman of the Supreme Council made everyone unable to accept it for a while. If there were one or two more councilors, it might not be a big deal. However, the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council was not inferior to the chairman in terms of power, and he was definitely one of the main decision-makers of the Supreme Council.
Now, the Supreme Council had actually changed the old rules that had been in place for thousands of years, and there was an additional deputy chairman out of thin air. That would definitely have a great impact on the current situation of the Supreme Council. More importantly, the new deputy chairman Lin Li and Chairman Andoine had a teacher-student relationship. Rosen would definitely not have an easy time in the future.
Deputy Chairman Rosen is going to lose power! At the thought of this, the councilors present began to look at Andoine and Rosen with different gazes. In fact, many of them even felt a little regretful. They thought, Can't you just be an honest councilor? Why did you have to get involved in this matter? Great, not only did you not get any benefits, but you even offended the chairman and the newly appointed deputy chairman.
After Lin Li and Apophis left the conference hall, they walked towards the upper floor of the Eternal Tower. Apophis did not say anything more about what had happened just now, and Lin Li actually did not take it to heart, either. Just like he had said before, he was just bored and wanted to kill time.
Soon, Apophis brought Lin Li to the Eternal Book Vault again, but the other two arbitrators, Megard and Chris, were not there. Apophis casually sat on a chair, and gestured for Lin Li to take a seat. He then said, "Felic, you've been back for so long, yet you've only just come to see us three old fellows. That's a little unreasonable."
"Don't think too highly of yourself. I didn't come here just to see you, but to borrow something from you." Lin Li was rather straightforward, and didn't even bother to coax Apophis. He immediately stated his intentions. Of course, it was not that Lin Li did not respect Apophis. It was just that given Apophis' casual personality, he would scold him if he were to be too serious.
As expected, Apohis was not surprised. He shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Alright, then I won't think too highly of myself. Tell me what you want to borrow. However, let me make this clear in advance. Given that the Tower of Dusk doesn't have any, I reckon we might not be able to give you any, either. "
"Don't worry, this thing is really only available here," Lin Li said with a smile. He glanced at the surrounding bookshelves that were filled with magic books, and then continued, "I want to borrow the blueprints of your Sky Garden. I wonder if that's convenient for me."
The blueprints of the Sky Garden were actually quite important. If the enemy forces got them, they would definitely be able to find the flaws of the Sky Garden and make use of them. After all, there was nothing perfect in this world. Even the powerful Sky Castles had their flaws that no one knew about.
"Of course it's inconvenient for others to see it, but are you planning to modify that Sky Castle? Wait a minute, I'll go find it for you, but I have to remind you that some things may not be suitable for your Sky Castle. " Apophis did not hesitate at all, and readily agreed to Lin Li's request. He then got up and went to look for the blueprints of the Sky Garden for him.
Not long after, Apophis walked out of the depths of the bookshelves with a box in his hand. The box was about a meter long and half a meter wide. When Apophis placed it on the table, it made a rather heavy thud.
Although the Sky Garden was not comparable to the Sky Castle that Lin Li had, it was still one of the seven Sky Castles, after all. Hence, there would definitely be plenty of blueprints for the modification of the Sky Garden. Lin Li opened the lid of the box, and indeed saw that it was filled with neatly arranged scrolls of different thicknesses.
Apophis sat back down on the chair and crossed his legs casually. He stroked his beard, and generously said to Lin Li, "These are the blueprints that have been used for the modification of the Sky Garden for so many years. Feel free to take a look at them. Anyway, they will be yours in the future."
Apophis was generous, and Lin Li did not stand on ceremony at all. He took out a scroll from the box, untied the string, and unfurled it. What was drawn on the scroll was only a small part of the Sky Garden, and the modification of the magical weapons and mageweath arrays were included on it.
Although the blueprint was not as intuitive as looking at the buildings directly, it involved deeper things that could not be seen on the surface. After silently simulating the contents of the blueprint in his heart, Lin Li had already figured out the essence of the modification design in the blueprint. The modification of the Sky Garden was indeed worthy of turning the Sky Castle of the High Elves into the Sky Castle of the humans. With those modifications, the power that the Sky Garden could exert under the control of humans was definitely comparable to that of the High Elves.
Of course, the modification of the Sky Garden was definitely not a small project, and it was almost equivalent to demolishing and rebuilding everything. The Sky Garden could be modified to its current state because of the manpower and material resources of the Supreme Council, as well as the three arbitrators who were at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. Yet, it took them hundreds of years to complete the modification.
Putting aside the fact that Lin Li did not have hundreds of years to modify the Sky Castle, the manpower and material resources required for the entire modification were something that the Tower of Dusk could afford at this stage. Although Lin Li had obtained an astonishing amount of wealth through so many adventures, it was still incomparable to the Supreme Council's.
After the end of the war at the end of the Dark Age, the Supreme Council, as the leader of the entire rebel alliance, obtained most of the wealth of the High Elves, which was filled with treasure vaults. On the other hand, Lin Li had no choice but to risk his life to plunder the remains of those mausoleums.
Hence, from the beginning, Lin Li had a very clear goal in his heart, and he did not expect to be able to modify the Sky Castle into a state that was completely suitable for humans. He could only try his best to let the Sky Castle exert more power under the control of humans.
After looking at the blueprint of the modification design, Lin Li rolled it up and put it back into the box. He then closed the lid of the box, and said to Apophis, "Thank you very much, this will save me a lot of time."
"As long as it's of use to you. I came back this time just to pick up something. Those two old fellows are still waiting for me to go over, so I won't keep you any longer. " Apophis was obviously in a hurry. Otherwise, he would definitely have chatted with Lin Li for a while. Seeing that Lin Li did not have any other requests, he hurriedly ended the conversation.
Lin Li did not care about Apophis leaving in a hurry. In fact, after getting the blueprints, he also wanted to rush back to the Sky Castle immediately. However, Apophis could leave without saying a word, but Lin Li couldn't do the same. After all, he had made a trip there, and he had to chat with his teacher and acquaintances. Anyway, he didn't really need that much time.
After coming down from the tower, Lin Li saw that Andoine, Aldwin, and a few councilors were waiting in the hall below. There was no one else in the conference hall at the side. Rosen had overreached himself this time, and was too ashamed to stay there to face Lin Li. Speaking of which, Rosen was really unlucky. The last time he schemed against Lin Li, he made Lin Li, an ordinary councilor, become a high-ranking councilor who was like one of the 10 masters. This time, Lin Li became the deputy chairman, which was a huge blow to him.
As for the councilors who originally supported Rosen, they began to have other ideas after seeing that Rosen, the newly advanced Sanctuary powerhouse, had lost his power again. However, after all, they were not shameless enough to immediately side with Andoine. Hence, they more or less knew how to be a little embarrassed. However, it was conceivable that Andoine would definitely be busy again in the days to come. There would definitely be many councilors who would use various excuses to visit him.
"Haha, good job, kid. You've become the deputy chairman all of a sudden. You didn't see how sullen Rosen looked at that time." Andoine was still the same as before. He did not have the awareness of being the chairman of the Supreme Council at all, and instead patted Lin Li's shoulder excitedly. His personality was exactly the same as Apophis'.
Apart from being happy for Lin Li, the other reason why Andoine was so excited was that he had finally gotten his revenge. Although he had never valued the position of chairman much, and even wished that someone would do all the work for him so that he could focus on studying pharmaceutics, he was so excited that the proposals that he was optimistic about would always be rejected at every meeting. However, in every meeting, the proposal that he was optimistic about was always rejected. This was definitely not a pleasant experience.
"Felic, Deputy Chairman Felic, please take care of the matters of the Alanna Guild of Magic in the future," Aldwin joked. In fact, he was the President of the Guild of Magic, and his status in the Supreme Council was not much lower than that of the deputy chairman.
Everyone found a lounge nearby, and after putting aside the unhappiness brought about by Rosen, they began to talk about some things that happened during this period of time. Of course, the most important thing was to listen to Lin Li's experiences in the Sky Castle. During this period of time, Andoine and Aldwin really had nothing worth talking about, apart from being angered by Rosen.
Lin Li told them about the thrilling experience of exploring the Sky Castle, especially the battle with Highlord Osric, which made everyone gasp in shock. After a period of chatting, Lin Li bade farewell to Andoine and the others, and invited them to visit the Sky Castle when they were free. He then left the Sky Garden.
