Seeing that Delano was still looking for trouble, Forcus really wanted to slap him to death. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Let me tell you, President Felic of the Tower of Dusk is not someone you can afford to offend. If you really piss him off, even your father won't be able to protect you."
Forcus' words really gave Delano a great shock. The Tower of Dusk was just a local force in the Breezy Plains, and the so-called President was ridiculously young. He really couldn't think of what could be so great about Lin Li that even his father couldn't protect him.
However, Delano still dared not go against Forcus, and had no choice but to put on a sincere expression. "Yes, Lord Forcus, I got it."
"You … I hope you really got it." After all, Forcus also had some scruples about Delano's father. Hence, he couldn't scold Delano too harshly. Seeing that Delano had already said so, he had no choice but to nod and leave the command center of the Fifth Fleet.
However, after Forcus left, Delano was so angry that he flipped the table in the room. What a joke! He was the commander of the Fifth Fleet and the son of the high priest of the kingdom. Yet, he had suffered such a huge loss, and yet, he had no choice but to swallow it. That was something he had never encountered in his life.
Soon after Forcus left, the adjutant, Hajis, heard the movement in the room, and walked in. He walked around the overturned table, and approached Delano. He cautiously said, "Lord, if it's really like what Lord Forcus said, what's our next plan?"
"Hmph, continue to prepare. I have to regain my dignity. Otherwise, how am I going to raise my head in the future?" Delano said while gritting his teeth.
Forcus felt that since he had already made it sound so serious, he should be able to make Delano restrain himself. Hence, he wasn't too worried for the time being. After leaving the military port of the Fifth Fleet, he reported to his teacher, Elder Zumar, about welcoming Lin Li and the others, but did not mention anything about Delano. In his opinion, Delano's father was the high priest of the kingdom, after all. Hence, there was no need to complain to his teacher.
Early the next morning, Forcus went to the place where Lin Li and the rest were staying. On one hand, he wanted to take good care of Lin Li and the rest according to his teacher's instructions. On the other hand, he was worried that some ignorant dandy would come and provoke this malefic star in his absence. Back when he went to the Breezy Plains with his teacher, he had witnessed the means of the young President of the Tower of Dusk. In the beginning, he destroyed one of his battleships because the negotiation did not come to an agreement. If someone angered this young Sanctuary powerhouse here, it would probably be a disaster for the Gilded Kingdom.
Forcus' worry was not groundless at all. Although the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati also had Sanctuary powerhouses, even if someone could stop the young Sanctuary powerhouse from the Tower of Dusk, the aftermath of the battle between the Sanctuary powerhouses would be a devastating disaster for the Gilded Kingdom.
Hence, Forcus came to look for Lin Li early in the morning, and made up his mind to stay by his side no matter what Lin Li wanted to do. However, when he arrived and sent someone to inform Lin Li of his request to see him, the reply he received was that Lin Li was having a meeting with Prince Johnathan of the Felan Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Forcus was a little stunned. Prince Johnathan of the Felan Kingdom was also a very prestigious person in the Felan Kingdom. How did he know the young President of the Tower of Dusk? Of course, the two of them should be very famous in Anril, so it was not strange for them to know each other. However, Prince Johnathan went to visit President Felic of the Tower of Dusk early in the morning, which was different from a usual greeting. In particular, it showed how much Prince Johnathan valued and respected Lin Li on a formal diplomatic occasion.
Forcus knew that Lin Li had an extremely high status in the Breezy Plains, and had even replaced the Ashen Warlock. However, the Felan Kingdom was not the Breezy Plains, and Prince Johnathan was not someone the local forces of the Breezy Plains could compare to. Besides, Prince Johnathan was there on behalf of the Felan Kingdom, and not just a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Prince Johnathan's attitude also represented the attitude of the Felan Kingdom.
Since Lin Li did not have the time to see him for the time being, Forcus had no choice but to find a place to wait. Anyway, as long as Lin Li did not leave, there should not be any ignorant dandy who would come here to cause trouble.
However, it did not take long for Forcus to be shocked by the scene he saw. After Prince Johnathan of the Felan Kingdom, he saw Prince Jeremiah, who represented the Ledin Kingdom. Besides, Prince Jeremiah's behavior was even more overboard. Although he didn't go so far as to humble himself, he was definitely humble enough.
After Prince Jeremiah left, the chief mage of the Rotterdam Kingdom, Donald, came again. However, this time, Prince Kanber did not come with him. Although the team of the Rotterdam Kingdom had suffered great losses during the exploration of the Sky Castle, they had still completed the mission in the end. Hence, Prince Kanber had been confirmed as the heir to the throne, and naturally could not travel across the ocean to the Gilded Kingdom to attend their founding celebration.
That seemed to be a good thing for Donald, as he finally did not have to worry about how to clean up the mess for Prince Kanber. However, Donald's status was not high enough to attend the founding celebration of the Gilded Kingdom. After all, he could not represent the royal family of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Hence, Prince Tory of the Rotterdam Kingdom came with him this time.
Compared to Prince Kanber, Prince Tory was clearly much more composed. Perhaps because he had already been reminded by Donald previously, he also lowered his stance when talking to Lin Li, and did not put on the airs of a prince of a kingdom. Although he did not seem to be trying to curry favor with Lin Li, it was clear that he wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Li.
How could Forcus not be surprised that the envoys of the three human kingdoms of Anril had such a similar attitude towards the young president of the Tower of Dusk? After all, the Tower of Dusk was just a force in the Breezy Plains, and yet it could make the three human kingdoms pay so much attention to it. Clearly, Lin Li's influence in Anril was no longer limited to the Breezy Plains.
However, that seemed to be just the beginning, and what surprised Forcus was far from over. After the envoys of the three human kingdoms of Anril, Archbishop Englos of the Brilliance Shrine and High Priest Sendros of the Darkness Shrine visited the young President Felic one after another.
Seeing that the three of them seemed to have been good friends for many years as they walked into the room while chatting and laughing, Forcus rubbed his eyes hard, only to see that the door was already closed. That made him wonder if what he had just seen was an illusion. The Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine were not something that the three human kingdoms could compare to. They were powerful forces that truly dominated the entire continent, and could change the situation of the continent with a single decision.
Although Forcus knew that the Tower of Dusk was also almost dominating in the Breezy Plains, and could make the entire Breezy Plains tremble with a stomp of their feet, the Breezy Plains could not be compared to the entire Anril. He also knew that President Felic of the Tower of Dusk was not to be trifled with, but he only thought that it was because Lin Li had Sanctuary-level power. However, it now seemed that Lin Li was not only powerful, but also had a terrifying influence in Anril.
At the thought of this, Forcus' heart couldn't help but tremble, and he increasingly felt the immense pressure on his shoulders. If something were to happen to him during the welcoming ceremony, he would probably offend President Felic alone. He might even incur the wrath of the people of the Gilded Kingdom.
Of course, apart from feeling nervous, Forcus was also rather glad. Fortunately, he had appeared in time, and did not let that bastard Delano do anything even more rude. Otherwise, even his teacher would not be able to clean up the mess.
Forcus waited at the side for a while, but he still didn't see Englos and Sendros come out. Just as he was hesitating about whether he should send someone to inform them, he saw a few people suddenly walking in. The leader was none other than the Foreign Affairs Minister of the Gilded Kingdom, Jefferson. Behind him were two diplomatic officials and a palace guard.
"Lord Forcus, you're really here. His Majesty asked me to look for you to discuss the matter of receiving the guests," the palace guard immediately said as soon as he saw Forcus.
Upon hearing this, Forcus hurriedly stood up, and just happened to want to remind the king about what he had just seen lest something went wrong during the reception. Hence, he said, "Okay, I'll go with you right away. Lord Jefferson, I'll leave the matters here to you first. You have to pay more attention, especially to President Felic of the Tower of Dusk from the Breezy Plains. You must receive him with the highest standards, and don't be rude. "
Although Jefferson was rather puzzled, and didn't know why the royal family and the Illuminati paid so much attention to the president of the Tower of Dusk, he immediately nodded solemnly and agreed after hearing Forcus' solemn reminder.
After all, Jefferson was an experienced foreign affairs minister, and was calm and experienced. Forcus was very reassured by him. After giving some instructions, he hurriedly followed the palace guard to the palace.
At this moment, Lin Li was chatting happily with Englos and Sendros in the room. When they met yesterday, they merely greeted each other briefly, and did not have an in-depth conversation. Hence, the three of them sat together today, and there were too many things to talk about. Of course, the most important thing was to ask Lin Li about various problems in pharmaceutics.
In particular, after Sendros stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, his horizons in all aspects had been broadened, which had also greatly improved his attainments in pharmaceutics. However, he found that with the growth of his pharmaceutical knowledge, he felt that there were too many mysteries contained in pharmaceutics.
It was actually just like what a wise man said in the world that Lin Li came from before he transmigrated — the more one knew, the more ignorant one would feel. It was just like drawing a circle on the ground. The larger the circle, the more one would be exposed to the unknown. In fact, although Lin Li could definitely be considered the best pharmaceutics Guru in Anril now, he dared not say that he really knew everything about pharmaceutics.
What Englos was concerned about was the debris of the stars, Holy Light, in Lin Li's hands. Of course, he did not know the name of the debris of the stars, Holy Light. He had only heard from Archbishop Martin that it was a magical weapon that could emit incomparably pure Holy Light Power, which could allow the believers of Holy Light to improve their abilities.
Of course, Englos would not directly ask Lin Li to take it out to take a look. He merely extended an invitation to Lin Li, hoping that he could visit the Brilliance Shrine more often and occasionally use that thing to help the believers of the Brilliance Shrine improve their abilities. Besides, when he heard that Lin Li was remodeling the Sky Castle, he also asked about the remodeling, such as if there were any materials that the Brilliance Shrine could help with.
The three of them chatted for nearly the entire morning, and when it was almost noon, someone suddenly came to inform them that Forcus and Jefferson, the Foreign Affairs Minister of the Gilded Kingdom, had requested to meet them. At this moment, Englos and Sendros stood up to bid farewell reluctantly. However, before they left, they vaguely mentioned that they might need Lin Li's help with something in the future. As for what it was, they could not say for sure, and simply said that they would contact Lin Li once they were sure.
In fact, that was what Lin Li found strange. If it was just the Gilded Kingdom's Founding Celebration, the two of them should not have come personally. At most, they would have sent a black-robed priest or a cardinal as an emissary. However, since the two of them had come personally at this time, it was clearly not as simple as attending the Gilded Kingdom's Founding Celebration.
Besides, in addition to Englos, who represented the Brilliance Shrine, and Sendros, who represented the Darkness Shrine, Lin Li also thought of the emissaries from the Ledin Kingdom, Felan Kingdom, and Rotterdam Kingdom. The emissaries sent by the three human kingdoms were all influential figures, and they might have the same purpose as Englos and Sendros.
After all, the Gilded Kingdom had been established overseas since the beginning of the Dark Age, and could be considered the kingdom with the longest heritage in Anril. There might be some secrets that were passed down from the Dark Age. However, Lin Li did not spend too much energy thinking about that issue, because he still had a lot of things to do. So what if he had another Sky Castle?
After sending Englos and Sendros off, Lin Li met Forcus and Foreign Affairs Minister Jefferson outside. Forcus did not intend to enter the room for a detailed discussion, and simply said, "President Felic, the king of our kingdom is ready to receive you. Now, let us invite you and the people of the Breezy Plains over."
