Lin Li asked if they were interested in going with him. Clearly, even if they were unwilling to take the risk, he would definitely go to the island to explore. The people present were all shrewd, and how could they not understand what Lin Li was trying to say?
In particular, Elvan of the Glittergold Trade Union, who was also a Master of Inscription, was immediately intrigued when he heard that the abnormality on the island was caused by a mageweath. With some excitement in his voice, he exclaimed, "All of this is actually caused by a mageweath. I must go and take a look!"
Immediately after Elvan, Claus and the others also expressed their willingness to follow Lin Li to explore the island. However, their tone and expressions were not as excited as Elvan's. After all, not everyone could become an inscriber. Even if many mages had some knowledge of inscriptions, they would at most be able to draw a few ordinary magic scrolls. They did not even dare to think about creating a mageweath that had such power. Hence, to others, no matter how powerful the mageweath was, it seemed to have nothing to do with them. Hence, it was naturally much less attractive to them.
The reason why these people agreed to explore the island without hesitation was actually because they wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the Tower of Dusk. To them, building a good relationship with the Tower of Dusk, especially with a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li, was obviously more important than getting a random mageweath.
However, just as everyone agreed in unison to explore the island with Lin Li, Joseph of the Mithril Alliance raised a different opinion. "President Felic, we don't know anything about the situation on this island. If we spend too much time here and miss the Gilded Kingdom's founding celebration, I'm afraid it won't be good. Besides, we've already deviated from the flight route, and this will delay us a lot of time. "
That really surprised everyone. Joseph was no longer a child, and how could he not tell that Lin Li had already made up his mind to explore the island? Of course, Joseph's words couldn't be said to be unreasonable. After all, no one knew what was going on on the island, and what dangers were hidden in the Magic Tower. If they were to be delayed here for 10 days or half a month, they might really miss the Gilded Kingdom's founding celebration.
However, between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk, there were more people who valued their relationship with the Tower of Dusk. Hence, after hearing Joseph's objection, Claus, the patriarch of the Caesar Family, was the first to say, "It's just a founding celebration. If we miss it this year, we'll just attend it next year. If the Gilded Kingdom falls out with us because of this, there's no point in participating this time. Besides, this is just a small island, and President Felic is a Sanctuary powerhouse. Who knows, he might just go in and take a look. How long would it take? "
The Glittergold Trade Union's Arvin was also a little unhappy. A powerful mageweath was right in front of him, but someone was stopping him from studying it. This was simply intolerable. This was like a hungry person looking at a table full of delicious food, but couldn't eat it. One could imagine how terrible his mood would be. Hence, Elvan, who had always been very easy-going, also put on the arrogance of an inscriber, and said, "What do you know? Look at the Elemental Storm in this space, that mageweath must be very impressive. It might even be the work of a Guru-level mageweath. Compared to this mageweath, the founding celebration of the Gilded Kingdom is nothing. If you're in a hurry, you can leave first. "
What a joke, this is the Endless Ocean. What do you mean by leaving first if you're in a hurry? Can you leave on your own without a ship!? Joseph was instantly choked speechless.
Lin Li didn't care much about Joseph's objection, and instead said to the others, "Don't worry, everyone. Since this island was discovered by everyone together, everyone will naturally have a share of the gains. Even if the mageweath is the only valuable thing on the island, Master Arvin and I will definitely share the results with you once we come up with any results. "
In the first place, everyone agreed to follow Lin Li to explore the island not because they could gain anything, but because they wanted to get closer to this Sanctuary powerhouse. However, Lin Li had now agreed to share the results with the various forces if there were any results in the research of the mageweath. That was a pleasant surprise.
Although most of them did not study much inscription, they could imagine how powerful the mageweath that caused all of this was just by looking at the abnormalities on the island. If they were to rely on their own abilities, they probably wouldn't know how to study and use such a mageweath even if it was placed in front of them. However, they now had a chance to share the research results of the mageweath just by accompanying Lin Li to the island to take a look. That was just like a pie falling from the sky.
As soon as he heard Lin Li's words and looked at the expressions of the people around him, Joseph knew that he wouldn't be able to get anyone's support. He had no choice but to helplessly say, "Since everyone thinks so, I won't say anything else."
"That's right, Joseph. Think about it. Will you suffer any losses if you follow President Felic? Back when we were in Prince Brahere's mausoleum, if it weren't for President Felic, we wouldn't have been able to make it out alive, "Claus said with a smile as he patted Joseph's shoulder.
However, the experience in Prince Brahere's mausoleum was really not a good memory for Joseph. Although they had gained something in the end, the Mithril Alliance had also suffered a lot of losses. Besides, Joseph had also been removed from his position as the leader of the Mithril Alliance because he didn't manage his relationship with the Tower of Dusk well.
It was already rather awkward to expose one's past, not to mention in front of so many people. Hence, when he heard Claus mention Prince Brahere's mausoleum, Joseph's expression immediately became extremely sullen.
Lin Li did not let The Star continue to approach the island, and instead led everyone to leave the ship and fly towards the island using the Power of Flight. The magical elements on the island had already accumulated to a rather terrifying level. Although The Star had a strong defense, it was difficult for it to prevent the magical elements from seeping in, which would not be beneficial to the various magical facilities on The Star.
The representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains on The Star were basically in the Legendary-level. Even though the Legendary Sword Sages could not fly long distances, it would not be a problem for them to reach the island from The Star.
Soon, Lin Li and the others arrived on the mysterious island, but they did not fly directly to the center of the island. Instead, they chose to explore the center of the island from the land. One reason was that they were not sure if there were any dangers on the island, and the other reason was that the power of the Void Spirit Mageweath had caused the magical elements in the center of the island to form a huge vortex that made it difficult for ordinary Legendary-mages to maintain the Power of Flight.
The natural environment on the island could be considered rather good. As soon as they landed, they entered a dense forest. Although from the perspective of a mage, it seemed that the denser the magical elements in the space, the better it would be for mages. However, there had to be a limit to everything. When the concentration of magical elements in the space exceeded that limit, it would be rather uncomfortable for people to be inside. It was just like how people could satisfy their hunger by eating, but eating too much would also make them feel uncomfortable.
As a Sanctuary powerhouse, Lin Li could still withstand such an environment, but the other Legendary-mages seemed to be in discomfort. As soon as they entered, they immediately felt a sense of suffocation, as if there was no air for them to breathe in except for the magical elements. Besides, the magical elements were continuously pouring into their bodies, just like force-feeding ducks, regardless of whether they were willing or not.
Fortunately, those who followed Lin Li were all Legendary-level powerhouses. Otherwise, those below the Legendary-level would probably have been inflated and blown up like an airbag under the crazy infusion of magical elements.
After a moment of adjustment, everyone gradually adapted to the environment, and at least did not feel as uncomfortable as when they first entered. Besides, it was not just a matter of discomfort. If they had not adapted to the environment with such a high concentration of magical elements, their combat power would probably have been greatly reduced. After all, the environment here was too different from the outside world. Casting a spell in the outside world would require 10 units of mana, but it might only require one unit of mana here. However, that was definitely not a good thing. If they were not careful, they might easily hurt themselves or their companions.
After everyone had adjusted, Lin Li made arrangements for the team, and began to explore the center of the island.
However, Lin Li's team encountered an attack from magical beasts after exploring for a short while. They were attacked by a few one-horned bulls, which were very common in Anril, and were at most level-15. Basically, in Anril, magical beasts like the one-horned bulls would often appear on people's dining tables.
However, the one-horned bulls here were obviously different from the usual one-horned bulls. They seemed to have been injected with hormones, and their bodies were two to three times the size of a normal one. They also had strength that was close to the Legendary-level. When they rushed out from the surroundings, they were just like armored vehicles, causing the ground to tremble continuously.
Of course, with the strength of Lin Li's team, even if the few one-horned bulls had reached the Legendary-level, they would not be able to cause much trouble for them. After a wave of magic attacks, the One-Horned Raging Bulls were all dead. They couldn't be any more dead.
However, the strength of the one-horned bulls still amazed everyone in the team. They had never known that such common animals on the dining table could be so ferocious. If this had happened in Anril, many hunting teams that used to hunt one-horned bulls would probably have changed their profession.
Lin Li, who knew about the Void Spirit Mageweath, was not that surprised. Clearly, the valiant one-horned bulls had been affected by the power of the Void Spirit Mageweath. Among all the mageweaths, there was probably no mageweath that could compare to the Void Spirit Mageweath in terms of the ability to gather magical elements. The Void Spirit Mageweath had existed on the island for a long time, and had gathered a lot of magical elements from the surrounding space. All the magical elements were accumulated and compressed on the island, so it would be difficult for the magical beasts to not be powerful.
Fortunately, it was just an isolated island. If the Void Spirit Mageweath had appeared in Anril, it would probably have created a terrifying magical beast army in a short period of time. Even a low-level magical beast like the one-horned bulls could have Legendary-level power. What would the other high-level magical beasts become?
The environment of the island reminded Lin Li of Geresco's Meditation Land. In terms of the concentration of magical elements, this place was probably not inferior to Geresco's Meditation Land. However, the magical elements here were all forcefully attracted, and thus showed a violent state that was not suitable for mages to meditate and absorb. Although the magical elements in Geresco's Meditation Land were equally rich, they were very gentle, and there was almost no need to convert them into mana for mages.
After understanding the strength of the magical beasts on the island, Lin Li reorganized the team, and some of them formed a team to sweep and search the entire island. The area of the island was not very large, and it would not take much time for a team of Legendary powerhouses to sweep the entire island. Lin Li, on the other hand, led the remaining people straight to the Magic Tower in the middle of the island.
After passing through the dense forest, the Magic Tower that was engraved with runes finally appeared in front of Lin Li and the others. However, Lin Li did not rashly approach the Magic Tower. Instead, he reorganized the people around him again, and left some of the weaker ones behind to be on guard just in case. After carefully observing the Magic Tower, he made sure that there were no magic traps or gears before bringing a few powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary realm to the front of the tower.
"This … What kind of person could complete such a complicated mageweath!?" As a Master of Inscription, Elvan could not suppress the excitement in his heart the moment he saw the Magic Tower. However, when he really approached the tower and saw the dense magic patterns, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. It was because the mageweath in front of him actually made him, a Master of Inscription, unable to understand it. It seemed that the knowledge of inscription used in the mageweath had completely exceeded his understanding.
Lin Li did not respond to Elvan's words. In fact, after seeing the mageweath, his attention was immediately attracted to it, and he did not hear what Elvan said at all. Besides, looking at the complicated and mysterious mageweath in front of him, Lin Li was also very excited, because he was already sure that it was definitely a Divine-Smith-level Void Spirit mageweath.
