Based on Onor's understanding of the human race, even a Legendary-level powerhouse would be considered impressive, let alone a Sanctuary-level powerhouse. However, a living human Sanctuary powerhouse had now appeared. Although Onor couldn't tell what level Lin Li had reached, it was enough to change his impression of the human race.
Lin Li smiled slightly, and calmly said, "It doesn't matter who I am. You just have to answer my question. I think with your intelligence, you should be able to tell who should be the one asking the questions."
Lin Li's smile was very amiable, and his voice was very gentle, but Onor felt a chill run down his spine. Although Onor looked down on the human race, he had to admit that humans had an advantage, and that was that they were very imaginative and creative. As for why he had such an opinion and was so frightened by it, it was because he had seen a few of his subordinates torture prisoners with all kinds of imaginative torture methods.
Onor could never imagine how the human race could come up with so many kinds of torture methods, from physical to mental, and in the end, even souls were not spared. After so many years, in the hands of his human subordinates, no matter if it was the fierce pirates or the violent orcs, almost all of them would open their mouths obediently. They didn't even dare to hide the fact that they wet their bed when they were a few years old.
Besides, what left a deep impression on Onor was that when his human subordinates were interrogating the prisoners, they would all have harmless smiles on their faces, which made them feel even more creepy and terrifying. In particular, when they were torturing someone in front of them, they just had to look at that person with such a smile, and that person would probably tell them everything without even having to ask any questions.
To be honest, at that time, Onor would always feel a strange sense of pleasure when he saw his opponents or captives wailing under the torture of his own human subordinates. However, he had now fallen into the hands of a human, and the thought that he might also be tortured in countless cruel ways made Onor feel like crying.
"You … What do you want to know? I'm just doing a routine check on the ships that come and go. If this offends you in any way, it is only my duty. If you let me go now, I can pretend that this never happened. Otherwise, your actions will be equivalent to going against the Sea Clan, "Onor stammered as he tried to hold back his trembling body. Now, he couldn't care less about his image. Anyway, there were no subordinates on this deck. Nothing was more important than his own life. Moreover, death wasn't the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that he couldn't die even if he wanted to.
Onor's behavior surprised Lin Li. Why did the Sea Clan, which was said to be as arrogant as the High Elves, behave so cowardly at this moment? Of course, he did not know that in Onor's heart, although humans did not have strength or talent, their imagination and creativity in torture made even demons feel inferior.
However, Lin Li didn't have the time to think about why Onor of the Sea Clan was behaving like that. Instead, he took out the Life Commendation potion, and said, "Routine? Lord Audun, I think you're here for this. "
Onor was initially a little timid, but as soon as he saw Lin Li take out the Life Commendation potion, he was immediately attracted to it like a hungry beast that had seen its prey. After staring at it for a long time, he finally retracted his gaze reluctantly and swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He said, "How … How could that be? We're really just doing a routine check."
However, Lin Li seemed to have not heard Onor's words, and he shook the Life Commendation potion, causing the emerald green potion to reflect a tempting luster under the sunlight. He said, "This Life Commendation potion should be of great use to you. If you answer my questions honestly, as long as I'm satisfied, I can give this potion to you. "
What!? Give it to me? Onor's eyes immediately widened. The Life Commendation potion was bought by Lin Li for 10 Legendary magical crystals, and he actually gave it away just like that? However, he soon thought of the real point in Lin Li's words. Since Lin Li had used 10 Legendary magical crystals to pay for the Life Commendation potion, the question would probably not be simple.
Besides, Onor was naturally not a fool since he could get to his current position and be in charge of all the trade of the Sea Clan in this sea market. He immediately thought that Lin Li had probably bid for the Life Commendation potion with the intention of luring him over. Hence, what Lin Li valued was either his identity as the person in charge of the sea market trade or his identity as a member of the Sea Clan. If Lin Li was just asking about the sea market trade, it wouldn't matter even if he told him everything. However, if he wanted to find out information about the Sea Clan …
However, the temptation of the Life Commendation potion was so great that Onor even forgot about the situation he was in at the moment. He said eagerly, "Is what you said true? Will you give me the Life Commendation potion? "
"Of course, it's just a Life Commendation potion. It's nothing to me," Lin Li said while casually tossing the potion bottle up and down. While speaking, Lin Li casually tossed the potion bottle up and down, not like he was holding a treasure that was worth 10 magical crystals at all. It was as if it was a worthless stone.
However, Onor's heart skipped a beat. As the Life Commendation potion was tossed up and down, he felt indescribably nervous. Although he knew that Lin Li might not make a mistake even if he was an ordinary person, he was still worried that Lin Li would accidentally destroy the Life Commendation potion.
Resisting the urge to rush forward and snatch the Life Commendation potion, Onor said, "Okay, okay, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you as long as I know it."
"Do you know Geresco?" Lin Li did not beat around the bush, and instead asked the question that he was most concerned about. He felt that since Geresco had created such a world, there would definitely be something in this world that had something to do with Geresco. At present, it seemed that the most likely thing was the Sea Clan that had disappeared in the long river of history.
However, after hearing Lin Li mention Geresco's name, Onor looked confused, and he cautiously said, "Sorry, I don't remember human names very well. Can you tell me in more detail, such as what does he do, how old he is, what does he look like … "
Onor's words immediately made Lin Li feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. Did I really make a mistake? Geresco was known as the God of Mages, and was a figure that was on par with the Immortal King in the history of Anril. With Geresco's strength, if he really had any connection with the Sea Clan, how could they not know his name!?
"You don't know Geresco?" Lin Li asked again, unwilling to give up. He also emphasized Geresco's name in the ancient common language used by the Sea Clan.
I'd like to know! Onor stared at the Life Commendation potion in Lin Li's hand, but he could only shake his head vigorously. He wanted to make up some nonsense, but he had no idea what Lin Li was talking about. If he said something wrong, not only would he not get the Life Commendation, he might even infuriate Lin Li.
Just as Lin Li was feeling disappointed by Onor's answer, he suddenly thought of a question that he had neglected. What era was this world from? Judging from the language of the people here, Lin Li judged that this world should still be in the middle of the Dark Age. In the real history of Anril, Geresco seemed to have not been born yet.
Could it be that this world that he had come to was not created by Geresco, but really sent to the era of Anril? After all, even if Geresco had not been born in this world, it would be impossible for him, the inheritor, to not leave some clues behind if this world was created by Geresco and left for him to explore.
Maybe Geresco did not leave his name behind? Lin Li had no choice but to try his best now. He asked Onor, "In that case, do you have any gods that you believe in? Tell me all the information about the gods that you believe in."
Indeed, a Sanctuary powerhouse created a world, and in this world, he was the only god. Hence, even if Geresco had created this world, he might not walk in this world with his real name. He might even be treated as a god of creation by the people in this world.
"God?" Onor looked at Lin Li in bewilderment. Everyone knew that the Sea Clan believed in Neptune, the God of the Sea. If Lin Li was just an ordinary person from the mainland, he might not know about this. However, he was a Sanctuary powerhouse, and he couldn't possibly be so ill-informed.
However, no matter what he thought, Onor had no choice but to answer obediently for the sake of the Life Commendation. "We, the Sea Clan, believe in the great God of the Sea, Neptune, who created the Endless Ocean and our Sea Clan."
Neptune, the God of the Sea? As soon as Lin Li heard that, he knew that the God of the Sea definitely had nothing to do with Geresco, because there was also such a god in the myths of Anril. Besides, until now, almost everyone who made a living at sea had to believe in the God of the Sea, Neptune, and pray for a smooth sailing on the sea.
That really left Lin Li at a loss for what to do. Clearly, it was impossible to get any information about Geresco from Onor. He tossed the Life Commendation potion in his hand, and helplessly said, "Okay, according to the previous agreement, this potion …"
Just as Lin Li was about to hand the Life Commendation potion to Onor, a huge change suddenly befell the sea. The originally blue sky became covered with dark clouds in the blink of an eye, and the thick clouds rolled continuously as if they were going to press down on the surface of the sea. In the dark clouds, countless lightning snakes danced wildly, and the rumbling thunder made the space tremble continuously as if the entire sky was about to collapse.
At the same time, the magical elements in this space also became extremely agitated, and a massive and suffocating Elemental Storm was set off on the surface of the sea. In fact, the flashes and sparks caused by the collision of the magical elements could even be seen with the naked eye, filling the already dim space with light.
"W-what's going on? How can there be a storm here!?" Onor looked at everything around him in shock. Cage Island was located in a crescent-shaped bay, and the storms at sea rarely reached there. Hence, it became a rather famous sea market. However, a storm had now descended on this sea without any warning. How could Onor, who had lived there for decades, not be surprised?
However, Onor soon knew that it was not a simple storm, because a terrifying aura suddenly seeped out of the rolling clouds. The terrifying aura made Onor, whose mana had been restrained, fall to the ground in a disgraceful manner. He couldn't even move a finger. Fortunately, his mental strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would have probably gone crazy.
On the other hand, Lin Li's attention had long been attracted by the abnormality in the sky. Although he was already a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, he still felt a massive pressure from the aura in the sky. However, what really caught Lin Li's attention was not the immense pressure that seemed to be coming from the end of the world, but the aura that gave him a familiar feeling.
However, Lin Li was certain that the familiar aura definitely did not come from Geresco. It was an aura that was a mixture of death and destruction.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were already as dark as ink, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate through, causing the sea to enter nighttime. In the dark clouds, the countless leaping bolts of lightning also became thicker and thicker as they collided with each other. Finally, they landed with a deafening roar.
Every bolt of lightning contained terrifying power that was not inferior to Legendary-level magic. When they landed on the surface of the sea, they could create a huge pit in the blink of an eye. In fact, it even made one feel as if they had reached the bottom of the sea. Beneath the surface of the sea, those hidden reefs were instantly smashed into smithereens. Perhaps after this disaster, the topography of this sea region would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Of course, under the circumstances where the thunderbolts fell like raindrops, Cage Island and the prosperous sea market above could not escape the fate of being bombarded by the thunderbolts either. However, at this moment, the results of the forces, especially the Sea Clan, who had been operating on Cage Island for hundreds and thousands of years could be seen.
When the first wave of thunderbolts fell, colorful magic shields immediately rose on Cage Island. Every shop had its own magic shield. Every street also had its own magic shield.
