However, High Priest Poer clearly had his own opinion on this matter. Indifferently, he said, "Zumar, your worries are completely superfluous. Are the forces of the Breezy Plains really willing to submit to the Tower of Dusk? The reason why they submitted to the Tower of Dusk is because no one can contend with Felic. If Felic is really gone, look at those forces. They will definitely immediately come to suck up to the Gilded Kingdom. "
Hearing this, Elder Zumar couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. If Felic was that easy to get rid of, there wouldn't be a need to make things so complicated. Everything would be simple. The Gilded Kingdom could just send their troops to make the entire Breezy Plains part of the Gilded Kingdom's territory.
"However, you also know that Felic's identity is not only the president of the Tower of Dusk, but also the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council. Haven't you ever thought that the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council would definitely not let the matter rest if something were to happen to Felic!? "Seeing that Poer wasn't listening to anything, Elder Zumar was a little anxious.
Although the Gilded Kingdom was a maritime kingdom, and was almost a world that was independent of Anril, it did not mean that they were clueless about the situation in Anril. In particular, the Supreme Council was not only a powerful force in Anril, but also a behemoth that was superior to all forces in the Gilded Kingdom.
If something were to happen to the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council here, it would not only trigger a war between the Gilded Kingdom and the Breezy Plains, but also a war between the Illuminati and the Supreme Council. Given the level of the Supreme Council and the Illuminati, if a war were to break out between them, it would definitely have a huge impact on the entire world. It would probably not be inferior to the war at the end of the Dark Age.
However, after Elder Zumar mentioned the Supreme Council, High Priest Poer suddenly smiled without saying a word. He neither raised any objections nor expressed the slightest agreement with Elder Zumar's words.
On the other hand, High Priest Poer's behavior made Elder Zumar shudder. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something terrifying behind the smile of his old friend.
Seeing that High Priest Poer was still indifferent despite all his persuasion, Elder Zumar had no choice but to shake his head and sigh helplessly. Besides, due to the conversation between the two of them, the atmosphere in the pilothouse also seemed a little gloomy. Elder Zumar stood up, and turned to the mysterious man in the black robe who was sitting at the head of the table. He said respectfully, "Saint Edmund, we're about to enter the Stormy Sea, I'll go out and patrol."
Elder Zumar said that he was going to patrol, but in fact, he just wanted to go out and get some fresh air. The storm of the Endless Ocean was nothing for a Sanctuary powerhouse to worry about. Since he couldn't persuade High Priest Poer no matter what, he could only pretend that he didn't see him, so that he wouldn't have to worry about him for no reason.
The black-robed man who was known as Saint Edmund did not make any moves while Elder Zumar was arguing with High Priest Poer. At this moment, after hearing Elder Zumar's words, he didn't say much, and simply hummed indifferently, seeming particularly arrogant.
However, in the face of such a response, Elder Zumar did not seem displeased at all. Instead, he bowed respectfully again before slowly walking out of the dull pilothouse.
High Priest Poer, who was at the side, did not seem surprised at all when he saw such a scene. In the entire Gilded Kingdom and the entire Illuminati, there were probably only a handful of people who could make Elder Zumar act so respectfully, and the black-robed man, Edmund, who was known as a saint, was one of them.
The Illuminati had four major shrines, namely the War Shrine, the Life Shrine, the Guardian Shrine, and the Chaos Shrine, each of which had different responsibilities. The War Shrine was the spear of the Illuminati, and fought for the Illuminati. It was precisely because of the existence of the War Shrine that the Gilded Kingdom was able to survive in the Endless Ocean between the High Elves and the Sea Clan.
Simply put, the duty of the Life Shrine was to heal and save people. At the same time, it also had the function of spreading its teachings. In fact, just like the priests of the Brilliance Shrine, they relied on some healing theurgy to relieve people's illnesses and make them unknowingly become their believers.
The Guardian Shrine was similar to the Inquisition of the Brilliance Shrine, and its highest mission was to maintain the dignity of the Illuminati. It also had the function of supervising the internal affairs of the Illuminati. It could be said that the Guardian Shrine had the greatest authority in the Illuminati, and the people of the other three shrines were all within its scope of supervision.
Among the four major shrines, the Chaos Shrine was the one with the most responsibilities. In order to maintain the normal operation of a large force, there were many things that had to be done, and it was far from what the three major shrines could satisfy. For example, money and various resources could be said to be necessary nourishment for the operation of a force. Even a top force like the Illuminati could not possibly be otherworldly.
One of the functions of the Chaos Shrine was to obtain various resources for the Illuminati in order to ensure the healthy operation of the massive Illuminati. Apart from that, the Chaos Shrine was also responsible for research in various fields such as pharmaceutics, inscription, and alchemy. It also recruited and nurtured talents in various fields for the Illuminati, and provided research results in various fields of knowledge.
However, that was only one of the many functions of the Chaos Shrine. There were also some unknown functions, such as doing some shady things for the Illuminati. After all, no matter how great a force was, there would always be some shady things that needed to be done.
The four leaders of the four major shrines were respectfully addressed as Saints, and their status in the Illuminati was second only to the Saint. At this moment, Edmund, who was dressed in a black robe and sitting in the captain's cabin of the Sea Demon, was the Saint of the Chaos Shrine of the Illuminati.
Saint Edmund was an absolute veteran of the Illuminati, and had already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm during the Dark Age. In terms of the era in which he stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, Edmund's seniority as a Sanctuary powerhouse was probably even older than that of Apophis and the other two arbitrators of the Supreme Council.
Although stepping into the Sanctuary-realm might not necessarily be the standard to measure the strength of a Sanctuary powerhouse, the Illuminati would have probably developed to Anril by now. However, as one of the four saints of the Illuminati, Edmund's strength was naturally not to be underestimated. Even if he was not at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, he was probably not far from it.
Although High Priest Poer belonged to the kingdom, and did not have any affiliation with the Illuminati, he couldn't help but be more careful when facing Saint Edmund. When arguing with Elder Zumar just now, he was afraid that Edmund would speak up. If Edmund said that he wanted him to let go of the grudge, he really wouldn't dare to say much.
However, Edmund did not express any opinion on this matter until Elder Zumar left the captain's cabin, and High Priest Poer finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Elder Zumar, who had left the captain's cabin, stood alone on the deck of the ship, looking at the vast sea around him. However, the depression in his heart did not dissipate at all. Although High Priest Poer seemed to have a well-thought-out plan in front of him, Elder Zumar did not think highly of his old friend.
However, Elder Zumar knew that it was useless for him to dwell on this matter. The most important thing at present was to explore the Ominous Island. However, at this moment, he would never have imagined that the young man whom he was rather fearful of was heading towards the same goal as him thousands of nautical miles away.
The massive The Star sailed towards the depths of the ocean at a speed that did not match its size. In the captain's cabin of The Star, Lin Li was frowning while looking at the huge nautical map hanging on the wall. Behind him, the great pirate Julio and his brother Jack, who had once dominated the four seas, were staring at the nautical map with some uneasiness on their faces.
On the nautical map, there were already a few new markings on the sea that was known as the Ominous Land. In fact, at this moment, The Star had already completely deviated from the predetermined route, and if the route that The Star had sailed was marked on the nautical map, it would be discovered that The Star had already taken a big detour in the sea.
In the beginning, the goal of The Star was very clear, and that was to head straight to the destination according to the route that Julio had indicated. However, to Lin Li and Julio's surprise, when The Star arrived at its destination, they found that it was still surrounded by the boundless ocean, and there was no sign of an island at all.
At first, Julio thought that he had made a mistake in his deduction, and tried to recall with his brother Jack for a while. Although he did find some errors in his memory, there was still no sign of an island even after he fixed it. At this moment, Julio and Jack could not calm down, for fear that Lin Li would think that they were deliberately hiding something.
Julio and Jack had a deep understanding of Lin Li's means. Back when he wreaked havoc in Helena Port, the two of them were on The Star, and could see the entire process of the battle from the beginning to the end. For the sake of The Star and the sailors, the young president of the Tower of Dusk was willing to destroy the Fifth Fleet of the Gilded Kingdom. If he felt that the two brothers were deliberately deceiving him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Lin Li did not blame Julio, and instead frowned as he carefully looked at the nautical map, seemingly trying to see something from it. He could feel that Julio had no need to deceive him, and there was not much deviation in the previous deductions.
In addition to the location that Julio had mentioned, Lin Li also got The Star to run to the place where the legendary island of the Gilded Kingdom was located according to the information that Jeremiah had obtained, but he found nothing either. According to those two clues, there was no trace of the island at all. Hence, the problem was probably on the island.
Could it be that the island would run away on its own!? Although the idea seemed to be a bit absurd according to common sense, Lin Li had no choice but to start seriously considering it at this moment.
Such a large island wouldn't have appeared for no reason. If there was a deviation in the legend of the Gilded Kingdom that had been passed down for thousands of years, there was no reason for Julio, a great pirate who had been at sea for many years, to remember wrongly. Besides, in addition to those two clues, Lin Li had actually searched for the place where the island should appear according to his memory in the other world, but he found nothing too.
Looking at the nautical map carefully, Lin Li suddenly remembered that when he was searching for the Immortal King in the other world, he saw that the Immortal King had chosen seven islands to build towers with Void Spirit Mageweaths.
According to the information in his memory, Lin Li marked the locations of the seven islands on the nautical map one by one. In fact, he had never quite understood why the Immortal King had chosen those seven islands because the distribution of the islands in the sea seemed to be unrelated to each other. However, he also felt that the Immortal King couldn't have chosen those seven islands at random. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to have chosen those seven islands because there were too many islands like that in the Endless Ocean.
First of all, Lin Li suspected that the seven islands might have formed some kind of magic array or mageweath. However, be it magic arrays, mageweaths, or Alchemy Arrays, the magic nodes had to be connected by magic pathways in order to play a role.
However, these seven small islands seemed to be independent existences in the vast sea. Could it be that there was some kind of Magic Path under the sea? Lin Li even compared all the magic arrays, mageweath arrays, and Alchemy Arrays he knew on the map, but none of them matched.
Of course, Lin Li did not gain anything. At least he could be sure of one thing, and that was that if the seven islands really formed something, it would definitely be beyond the understanding of a Guru of various fields like him.
However, Lin Li did not give up, and continued to draw on the nautical map under the puzzled gaze of Julio and the others. What he had drawn was actually very simple. All he had done was to connect the seven small islands one by one with straight lines. In his opinion, no matter what the seven islands could form, there had to be an invisible connection between them. Although it was not accurate to draw it with lines, at least he could observe it more directly.
Under Lin Li's continuous connection, a strange pattern soon appeared on the nautical map that looked like an irregular polygon. However, that was not enough. He continued to use lines to connect the islands that were not adjacent to each other.
All of a sudden, Lin Li stopped moving. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or something else, but the intersection of several connecting lines was the location of the island that Jeremiah had asked about. That discovery made Lin Li perk up involuntarily.
