Lin Li subconsciously wanted The Star to chase after it immediately, but after the Void Spirit Mageweath was activated, the changes on the island made him pause for a while. As a huge amount of mana was gathered on the island by the Void Spirit Mageweath, the low-lying vegetation on the barren island also grew rapidly as if it had been inflated. In the blink of an eye, the island became lush and lush. At the same time, the creatures that were originally on the island were also forcibly stimulated by the mana. It was as if tens of thousands of years had passed in an instant, and each of the creatures was rapidly mutating.
In just a few hours, the island was shrouded in a dense forest, and the mutated creatures had also become tyrannical magical beasts. In the process, magical beasts from other places were continuously attracted over, including the nine-headed Manticore that Lin Li had personally killed.
Of course, at this time, the nine-headed Manticore only had one head, and could be considered an extremely ordinary Manticore. After the Manticore rushed to the island, it immediately got into a scuffle with the magical beasts on the island, and dashed towards the tower in the middle of the island. At the same time, the other magical beasts were also rushing towards the tower, and their eyes were filled with an almost crazy desire. It was as if there was something in the tower that was attracting them. In order to fight for the opportunity to get close to the tower, they did not hesitate to kill their own kind.
As soon as the Manticore rushed to the front of the tower, it had already begun to grow a second head, and was even more intense in competing with the other magical beasts for the opportunity to enter the tower. After all, the Manticore had the bloodline of the prehistoric magical beasts. After a battle, it finally entered the gate of the tower, and the gate of the tower was closed immediately afterwards.
After seeing that, Lin Li did not continue to stay, and instead chased after the Immortal King while increasing the speed of The Star to its limit. However, to Lin Li's surprise, the Immortal King did not only build that tower, but also changed his direction and left the same Magic Tower on the other six islands during his flight.
While chasing after the Immortal King, Lin Li recorded the six islands with the Magic Towers on the nautical chart so that he could explore them after returning to the outside world.
The Immortal King built a total of seven towers on the Endless Ocean, and then finally stopped changing directions, and flew straight in one direction. Seeing this, Lin Li could not help but secretly rejoice. It seemed that it was finally time to reveal the answer.
However, Lin Li controlled The Star and followed the Immortal King for two consecutive days, but he completely lost track of the Immortal King in the sky above an island that was covered in ice and snow in the north of Four Seasons Island.
Although Lin Li couldn't see the Immortal King most of the time in the process of searching for him, the unique aura of the Immortal King gave him a very clear direction. However, not only did the Immortal King disappear, of the Immortal King's figure disappear, even his unique aura also disappeared without a trace.
It seemed that there was something wrong with this island! Lin Li did not rashly land on the island, and instead controlled The Star to explore around the island. With this turn, he realized that the surface area of this island was really big. Although he didn't know if it could be compared to Four Seasons Island, in the Boundless Ocean, it should be considered a relatively rare big island.
Moreover, when he stopped to look through the nautical charts of the Gilded Kingdom, he discovered that the island was actually not recorded on any of the nautical charts. Besides, when he stopped to look through the nautical charts of the Gilded Kingdom, he discovered that the existence of the island was actually not recorded on any of the nautical charts.
In fact, it was not just this island. Even the small islands where the Immortal King had built the Magic Tower did not leave any marks on the nautical charts. However, those islands were relatively remote, and their areas were not large. Hence, even if they were not recorded on the nautical charts, Lin Li did not find it strange. However, this Island of Ice was different now. Even if such a large island had no value, the Gilded Kingdom should not have ignored it.
The Immortal King's tracks had disappeared, and Lin Li had no way to continue tracking him. He just felt that the disappearance of the Immortal King should have something to do with this Island of Ice. He did not go to the Island of Ice to explore. After all, he could not leave the Gilded Kingdom for too long. Who knew how long it would take him to get to the Island of Ice? Besides, he also planned to return to the Gilded Kingdom to find out more about the Island of Ice.
Hence, Lin Li steered The Star away from the Island of Ice, and returned to the pilothouse. He then used the Teleportation Portal in the pilothouse to return to Geresco's Meditation Land.
After walking out of the inverted tower, Lin Li thought about it for a while. If he wanted to find out more about the Island of Ice, he would probably still need some manpower.
Besides, when he went to the Gilded Kingdom previously, apart from Lin Li, there was only the group of sailors and a few mages that he planned to groom on The Star. Not even the two Undead servants were brought along. If the two Undead servants were on The Star when Delano went to wreak havoc on The Star, he probably wouldn't be able to successfully seize The Star no matter how many people he brought.
Hence, when Lin Li returned to the Gilded Kingdom this time, he called Ujfalusi and Norfeller, the two Undead servants. In addition, Connoris and Angelano were originally in charge of the renovation of the Sky Castle, but now that the part they were in charge of had been completed, they were also on Lin Li's list.
As for the mages of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li did not plan to bring them along this time. He would see if he should bring them along after he found out about the situation on the Island of Ice. Anyway, with his current ability, it wouldn't take much effort for him to break open space and bring the mages there.
After the two Undead servants, Connoris and Angelano, arrived, Lin Li waved his hand to open a spatial rift, and stepped into it with the four of them. When they walked out of the spatial rift, they had already arrived at the embassy room that the Gilded Kingdom had arranged for the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li made some arrangements for the four of them, and soon, he heard a servant report that Sendros and Englos had come to visit. Although the two of them were rather resentful about not being able to rope Lin Li in, they had also learned a lot of pharmaceutics knowledge from Lin Li in the past few days. Hence, after the two of them sensed the abnormal fluctuations in space, they knew that Lin Li had already returned, and immediately rushed over eagerly.
However, after meeting, Lin Li discovered that there were three people, and the one beside Archbishop Englos was none other than Prince Jeremiah of the Ledin Kingdom. Although Lin Li had some disagreements with Prince Jeremiah when he was exploring the Sky Castle, Lin Li was actually very tolerant as long as Prince Jeremiah did not infringe on his interests.
Besides, when Lin Li returned, he was thinking about how to find out about the Island of Ice from the Gilded Kingdom. After all, he had been at odds with the Gilded Kingdom previously because of the matter regarding Delano. At this time, he was almost certain that the Gilded Kingdom would try to shirk the responsibility if he asked for any information.
Hence, if he wanted to find out about the Island of Ice, Lin Li considered that he couldn't show up directly, and that it would be better to find someone from another force. Englos and Sendros had extraordinary identities, and they represented the Brilliance and Darkness Shrines respectively. Hence, it wouldn't be suitable for them to ask for any information on his behalf. Besides, the candidate couldn't be too close to the Tower of Dusk. Hence, he naturally didn't have to consider the people from the forces of the Breezy Plains.
When he saw Prince Jeremiah who was beside Englos, Lin Li finally had a candidate in mind. Given Prince Jeremiah's identity and character, if he were to ask someone from the Gilded Kingdom about the Island of Ice, no one would think that he had any ulterior motives. They would just think that he was purely curious.
However, Lin Li couldn't directly hand the matter over to Jeremiah. If he had a strong motive, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others, especially a foppish noble like Jeremiah. This was especially so for a hedonistic nobleman like Jeremiah. If he didn't manage to get any information, he would be tricked by others instead.
Hence, after chatting with Englos and Sendros for a while, Lin Li gradually shifted the topic from pharmaceutics to sailing, and even took out the nautical information that he had extorted from the Gilded Kingdom.
Pointing at a nautical chart, Lin Li began to talk about the areas where various precious herbs grew in the Endless Ocean that he had discovered along the way. Those were very attractive to Englos and Sendros. Although Prince Jeremiah wasn't very interested in pharmaceutics, he was very concerned about the value of those herbs. Whenever Lin Li mentioned herbs, Prince Jeremiah would always ask how much they could be sold for on the mainland.
"However, this area is very strange." Lin Li pointed at an area on the nautical chart, which was the location where he had discovered the Island of Ice. However, the chart was blank, or rather, it was the Endless Ocean.
Prince Jeremiah was thinking about whether he should get a fleet of ships to get some precious resources from the sea to sell when he heard Lin Li's sudden words. He couldn't help but look at the nautical chart, and asked, "What's so strange about that? Isn't it all seawater?"
Lin Li shook his head slightly, and patiently explained, "Look at the information of the sea marked on this map. If this information is accurate, there should be something in this sea. However, with the advanced nautical technology of the Gilded Kingdom, there shouldn't be such a mistake, unless they deliberately marked it wrongly. "
"Master Felic, do you mean that they are hiding something here?" Jeremiah didn't know anything about sailing, but his imagination was rather rich, and he immediately thought that the Gilded Kingdom might have some unspeakable secrets there.
"This nautical chart is used by the Gilded Kingdom's military, and it seems that they are deliberately downplaying the existence of this sea. The subsequent nautical charts were also based on this nautical chart. I'm afraid that even the ordinary people of the Gilded Kingdom are unlikely to know what exactly is there now. Perhaps only the higher-ups of the Gilded Kingdom know the answer to the mystery. " After saying that, Lin Li did not continue to dwell on the matter of the sea, and instead brought the topic back to the herbs and mineral resources of the Endless Ocean.
However, although Lin Li did not mention it, Jeremiah did not let go of his curiosity, and suddenly took the initiative to say, "This matter is simple. After I came here, I also got to know many nobles of the Gilded Kingdom. I'll ask them about it. If it's not a core secret of the Gilded Kingdom, it should be easy to find out. "
"Oh, okay. In that case, if Prince Jeremiah finds out anything, I can give you a copy of this nautical chart," Lin Li promised Jeremiah as if he didn't mind at all.
As soon as he heard this, Prince Jeremiah's eyes immediately lit up. If he wanted to set up a fleet, it would definitely be extremely convenient to have such a nautical chart of the Gilded Kingdom's military. Besides, if he were to bring this nautical chart back to His Majesty, it would also be of great help to the future development of the Ledin Kingdom. He would definitely be praised by His Majesty.
In the subsequent conversation, Lin Li did not mention the matter of the sea again, but Prince Jeremiah had already taken note of it. As for the two old foxes, Englos and Sendros, they should have long realized that Lin Li was setting up a trap for Prince Jeremiah, but neither of them showed it, and instead cooperated with Lin Li to continue discussing pharmaceutics.
"By the way, I'm sorry, I have an appointment with a few new friends. It's almost time, so I'll take my leave first." Prince Jeremiah was drowsy from listening to those pharmaceutics questions, and the desire to understand the unknown sea became stronger and stronger in his mind. Finally, he couldn't help but bid farewell.
After leaving the embassy of the Tower of Dusk, Jeremiah thought for a while, and went straight to the place where the nobles of the Gilded Kingdom had invited him to meet. After all, a complete and detailed nautical chart of the Gilded Kingdom would be very useful to both the individual and the kingdom. Hence, Prince Jeremiah decided to ask those people about it first.
When he arrived at the place of the gathering, Jeremiah was not a fool, and naturally wouldn't ask those people about the sea right away. First, he socialized with them, and then, when a nobleman introduced the scenery of the Gilded Kingdom to him, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and said, "Hey, you guys have introduced so much, but why didn't you mention the north of Four Seasons Island? Is there no fun place in that sea?"
"The sea north of Four Seasons Island?" A nobleman of the Gilded Kingdom did not answer immediately after hearing Jeremiah's question, and instead looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.
