This time, the High Elven commander panicked, and his chanting speed suddenly sped up. His voice became shrill and ear-piercing, and he no longer looked as elegant and noble as he did before. However, his efforts were in vain, and the branches that swarmed towards him soon wrapped him up like a green cocoon. Next, a dull and shrill cry sounded from the green cocoon, and the power of the Domain World quickly dissipated.
When the Domain World completely disappeared, Lin Li was the only one left floating in the sky with a relaxed expression, while the arrogant High Elven commander had already disappeared together with the Domain World, leaving nothing behind.
In fact, if it had been Elder Zumar from the Illuminati, Lin Li might not have won so easily. The High Elven commander could only blame himself for displaying power that he couldn't control in front of Lin Li, who had two saplings of the Tree of Eternity.
After getting rid of the Sanctuary-level High Elf commander, Lin Li returned to The Star, which went all out under his control, and launched an extremely fierce attack on the High Elves' fleet. The battle made Lin Li truly realize the power of The Star, and the High Elves' fleet became a tool for The Star to display its power.
Under the fierce attack of The Star, the remaining High Elves' battleships were almost powerless to fight back, and soon either sank to the bottom of the sea or evaporated from the surface of the sea.
After the battle, Lin Li had a higher understanding of the performance of The Star, and at the same time, he couldn't help but want to own such a powerful sea fortress. Although he already had the Sky Castle now, he could not use it easily. If he could have a sea fortress like The Star, it would definitely be of great help to the exploration of the Endless Ocean in the future and the development of the Tower of Dusk's forces towards the sea.
However, Lin Li had only manipulated the firepower system of The Star, and he still couldn't interfere with the voyage of The Star. Besides, he didn't want to interfere now. After all, he still had to wait for The Star to bring him to the destination, and see what Geresco's intentions were for arranging such a world.
After the battle with the High Elves' fleet, The Star seemed to have sailed on a safer route, and there were no more powerful marine beasts along the way. Apart from studying the structure of The Star, Lin Li was also waiting for it to arrive at its destination.
Just like that, The Star sailed on the sea for another six or seven days, and Lin Li finally saw a large island in front of The Star from afar. As The Star gradually approached, he also saw that there were countless buildings on the island, as well as a large port that was docked with many ships of all kinds.
What was this place? Was Geresco's purpose for bringing him here? Many questions surfaced in Lin Li's mind. He really couldn't imagine what kind of secrets could be hidden in such a bustling island.
Finally, The Star slowly sailed into the port of the island. Seeing the arrival of the massive ship, the ships in the port all avoided it. Although they had never seen The Star unleash its power, they could tell from its size that their small boat would definitely be smashed into pieces if it were to collide with it.
Lin Li got out of The Star, and without bothering about the countless curious or respectful gazes around him, he walked straight towards the center of the island. He didn't have to worry about the safety of The Star, because Little Skeleton was watching over it anyway. Besides, even if there was no one watching, The Star could not be controlled by just anyone. In fact, without permission, those below the Sanctuary-realm would not be able to step onto the deck of The Star safely.
While walking towards the center of the island, Lin Li sized up everything around him curiously. There were not only humans living on this island, but also dwarves, orcs, and even High Elves. Besides, even those who had racial hatred seemed to be able to get along peacefully there. Although it was not to the point of calling friends, at least no one would start a conflict even if they passed by each other.
There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street that sold everything from the most ordinary weapons and equipment to the corpses of deep-sea beasts. Most of them were shops that sold all kinds of marine resources. In addition to various living and dead deep-sea magical beasts, there were also a large number of minerals that were very rare on land. For example, a magical metal like aquamarine adamantine was very rare on the mainland, but it was sold at an extremely low price here.
Lin Li wandered around the island aimlessly, only to find that the island seemed to be somewhat familiar. Standing on the top of the highest hill on the island, he looked around. He discovered that there were continuous mountains in the distance in the other three directions of the island, which formed a crescent-shaped bay. The island was located in the middle of the bay.
Isn't this Cage Island? Looking at the surrounding scene, Lin Li suddenly remembered that he had been invited by the Gilded Kingdom to help out on the barren island where the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction was sealed. Initially, Lin Li didn't dare to believe it, but after carefully comparing his memories with the scene in front of him, he discovered that it was actually 90% similar to the Cage Island in his memory, apart from some minor details.
Could this really be Cage Island? Lin Li retracted his gaze from afar, and turned to look at the surroundings of the hill. The lively scene was really different from the barren Cage Island in his memory.
At this moment, Lin Li suddenly remembered that he had vaguely heard the conversations of the people passing by when he walked over. Initially, he didn't take those to heart, so he didn't deliberately listen to them, but now that he thought about their conversation, he realized that their language seemed to be a little different!
At the thought of this, Lin Li simply walked down from the top of the hill, and returned to the somewhat lively street. This time, due to the fact that he had paid more attention, Lin Li soon heard the problem from their conversation. Although those people, be it humans, dwarves, or orcs, were all conversing in the common language, their accent was very strange.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Li suddenly remembered that the strange common language that they were speaking was not a local dialect, but a very ancient common language. In Lin Li's memory, the ancient common language seemed to have been popular in Anril thousands of years ago.
It should have been the middle of the Dark Age thousands of years ago, and it was also the most prosperous period of the dynasty established by the High Elves. Their control over the entire Anril was at its peak. Under such circumstances, there was little communication between the various races. That was why there was such a strange accent. It could even be said that it was hard to pronounce the common language. In fact, the common language was not considered a real common language, and was just a simple way of communication derived from the communication between the various races without much modification.
Until the late Dark Age, as the High Elves gradually relaxed their rule over Anril, the communication between the various races increased day by day. Gradually, the common language began to be continuously optimized, and fused with the languages of the various races to become more suitable for their use. The ancient common language with a strange accent gradually disappeared.
Hence, although Lin Li had also mastered the common language, it was still very difficult for him to understand the ancient common language. Fortunately, apart from the accent and words, there were not too many changes in the grammar of the common language. Although it was difficult for Lin Li to listen, he could more or less understand some of the meaning.
After walking on the street for a while, Lin Li already had a guess in his heart. The world that Geresco had created seemed to be Anril from thousands of years ago. That was somewhat similar to the ancient world of Alanna that he had experienced when he was exploring the Sky Castle.
Of course, strictly speaking, the ancient Alanna that the Immortal King had created was actually not separated from the time of Anril. However, due to the fact that the world was closed, there had never been any changes in that world, and it had been developing slowly like Alanna during the Dark Age. Has this world been developing like this for thousands of years, or is it just a scene-like world that Geresco has created at a specific time?
At this moment, Lin Li found a tavern on the side of the street. Taverns had always been a place where all sorts of people mixed together, and it could help him understand some things about this world or Cage Island.
Hence, Lin Li turned around and walked over, pushed open the two half-closed wooden doors, and walked into the dim tavern. Even though it was a tavern from thousands of years ago, it was actually not much different from the taverns of Anril now. It was dim and noisy, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and tobacco, as well as the nauseating stench of sweat.
Although it was still daytime, the tavern was already full. There were human sailors wearing sailor vests, dwarves with big beards, and orcs with hideous faces. As for the High Elves, they definitely wouldn't bother to come to such a place. In the eyes of the High Elves, such a place was probably the dirtiest place in the entire Anril.
However, in addition to the common humans and other races, Lin Li also found a group of very strange-looking people or creatures in the tavern. These people were covered in fine scales, and there was not a single strand of hair on their heads. There were only ear sockets where their ears should be. The strangest thing was that below their cheeks, there was something that looked like a fish's gills, which opened and closed slightly as they breathed.
Lin Li squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the bar of the tavern. He pinched his throat and ordered a glass of ale from the bartender at the bar. It was also the only wine that Lin Li knew had not changed much for thousands of years, be it the rancid taste or the low price.
"Bang!"
A large glass of ale was slammed in front of Lin Li by the bartender. The yellow liquid with white foam was just like someone had peed in the glass. However, the others were drinking the ale enthusiastically.
In particular, the dwarves picked up a glass that was bigger than their heads and gulped it down. The alcohol flowed down their thick beards and onto their chests. They then slammed the glass hard on the table, patted their chests, and burped. They then continued to brag to the people around them.
Lin Li picked up the glass and pretended to take a sip while enduring the rancid smell. After putting down the glass, he casually asked the bartender, "Bartender, who are those strange-looking people over there?"
The bartender did not seem to find Lin Li's accent strange. Perhaps he had seen all kinds of people and heard all kinds of accents in this place, so he was already used to it. However, after hearing Lin Li ask about the group of strange-looking people, the bartender also had a strange expression on his face, and said, "Even they don't know? This must be your first time out at sea, right?"
"Uh, yes, you know the situation on the mainland. I went out to sea with the elders of my family this time to see if I can do some business at sea." Although Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, he was actually only in his early twenties. Hence, his excuse would not be suspected.
Hearing Lin Li's words, the bartender grinned, and said, "I knew it. Look at your tender skin, you don't look like someone who has been in the wind and waves. On account of the fact that we're all humans, I'll give you a reminder. If you want to survive at sea, apart from the High Elves, you need to pay attention to those strange people that you mentioned the most. "
"Oh? Who are they? You actually put them together with the High Elves? "Lin Li asked cooperatively, pretending to be very surprised.
The bartender was obviously very satisfied with Lin Li's behavior. While wiping the wine glass in his hand with a dirty rag, he deliberately lowered his voice, and mysteriously said, "Not to mention people like you, even the High Elves would not dare to provoke them easily. They are the real masters of the sea."
In the era of Anril that Lin Li lived in, many people would probably think of the Gilded Kingdom at the mention of the masters of the Endless Ocean. With their powerful alchemical battleships, the Gilded Kingdom could be said to dominate the Endless Ocean, and no one or force could compare to the Gilded Kingdom. However, thinking that this world might be the world of thousands of years ago, the bartender's words immediately made Lin Li think of another name — the Sea Clan.
Speaking of the Sea Clan, as the name suggested, they were an intelligent race that lived in the sea. Legend had it that during the Dark Age, the High Elves ruled the sky and earth of Anril, while the Sea Clan ruled the boundless Endless Ocean.
