Besides, even if the Dwarf Kingdom agreed to the suggestion of jointly creating the Sky-breaker, the Sky-breaker was not a Magical Crystal Cannon, and it was not something that could be created in a day or two.
The first thing to be transported from The Star was a massive steel chariot that looked like a tank, but there was no turret or barrel on it. Instead, it had a rather complicated Alchemy Array. The central power center of the Alchemy Array was inlaid with a large golden magical crystal, which Lin Li had taken from the Golden Behemoth.
The Golden Behemoth had a super strong defense, and could even resist Lin Li's World Sword. However, that insane defense was not because of how strong the Golden Behemoth's body was, but because it could connect itself with the earth. Hence, when Lin Li killed the Golden Behemoth back then, he found a way to lure it into the air.
The magical crystal on the Golden Behemoth not only contained the massive mana of the Sanctuary-realm, but also contained the mystery of the Golden Behemoth being connected to the earth. Hence, Lin Li used the magical crystal to create an Alchemy Array with a powerful defensive force field with Angelano, and installed it on the steel chariot for the sake of this test. The steel chariot could spread out a massive defensive force field, and was connected to the earth like the Golden Behemoth. It could even resist a full blow from a Sanctuary powerhouse.
Behind the steel chariot was a strange-looking magical weapon that looked like an iron tower with a fist-sized eyeball embedded at the top. The eyeball was obtained by Lin Li when he killed the Tempest Beast King in Geresco's Meditation Land. It could emit powerful Chaotic Thunderbolt that was not inferior to Sanctuary-realm magic.
Originally, the eyeball of the Tempest Beast King was placed on The Star to be used as a weapon of The Star. Besides, with the power of the Chaotic Thunderbolt, it could definitely be considered one of the most powerful weapons on The Star. However, sooner or later, The Star would have to be equipped with the Sky-breaker, and the Tempest Beast King's eyeball would have to be used elsewhere in the future. Hence, Angelano designed such a weapon to maximize the power of the Chaotic Thunderbolt.
Behind them were two ballistae of similar size. They looked like ordinary ballistae that were used to defend a city. However, those who had a deep understanding of inscription would definitely be shocked after seeing this ballista, because there were very complicated mageweaths engraved on the ballista, and every mageweath was probably at the level of a Guru.
The two ballistae were created by Lin Li based on some of the characteristics of the Stars of Fury, and also incorporated some of the ideas of the Sky-breaker. Lin Li had obtained the blueprint of the Sky-breaker for a long time, and had naturally studied it carefully. Although he could not create a Sky-breaker himself, he vaguely felt that the Sky-breaker seemed to be related to the Stars of Fury. Hence, he used his memory of the Stars of Fury and the blueprint of the Sky-breaker to design and build these two ballistae. They might not be comparable to the Sky-breaker or the Stars of Fury, but they were probably much more powerful than ordinary Magical Crystal Cannons.
Unfortunately, Lin Li had to participate in the creation of such ballistae because he was the only one who knew about some things that involved the Stars of Fury. He could not explain it clearly, and no one could learn it easily. Hence, there was no way to mass-produce such ballistae, and naturally no way to equip them on The Star and the Sky Castle in large quantities to replace the naval cannons and Magical Crystal Cannons of the Gilded Kingdom.
There were also some pieces of magical equipment, some of which were created by Angelano using alchemy techniques. There were also some classic alchemy equipment that Angelano copied from the goblins' era, and some were simply created by Angelano himself. For example, the magic wings that could allow ordinary people to fly in the sky.
The Power of Flight was as easy as walking for Legendary-mages, and even Archmages could use the Levitation Spell to rise into the air. However, in the short era of the goblins, the magic wings were essential alchemy equipment for most goblins because they could not learn magic. Hence, they could only rely on alchemy equipment to fly.
In that case, the use of the magic wings seemed to be a little useless. After all, Legendary-mages had the Power of Flight, so why would they need the magic wings? However, although the Power of Flight was not a profound magic that almost every Legendary-mage knew, it was still a magic spell that required a continuous output of mana to maintain.
Not every Legendary-mage had almost infinite mana like Lin Li did back then, and could not care less about the mana consumption. The magic wings only consumed magical crystals, and could allow Legendary-mages to maintain their peak mana after a long flight to deal with various situations. Hence, even for Legendary powerhouses, the magic wings were very useful.
After moving the various alchemy equipment off The Star, Lin Li led the team towards the center of the island of ice. In fact, the place where The Star was docked was not the real land of the island of ice, but the ice that extended from the island of ice. As the team of the Tower of Dusk advanced, they could also see the battleships of the Gilded Kingdom that had been frozen for thousands of years, and even the sailors on the decks of the battleships that were frozen.
The battleships that had been frozen for thousands of years, and the sailors who were covered in ice and snow until their faces could no longer be seen clearly, formed a creepy picture of hell. The pure white snow and sparkling ice no longer had a trace of holiness in the eyes of the people. Instead, there was only infinite gloom and terror.
Even the mages of the Tower of Dusk who had already stepped into the Legendary-realm could not help but feel fear when faced with such a scene. After all, these people had not experienced any major scenes. Although the situation of the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains was also very difficult during the three years that Lin Li was away, it was not as shocking as the scene in front of them.
Lin Li had long sensed the changes in the emotions of those mages, and had to admit that his decision to bring them out for training was really right. If such a scene could make their emotions fluctuate and even make them fearful, how could they remain calm and deal with it if they really encountered a dangerous situation?
However, Lin Li did not point it out. He knew that as long as these rookies experienced a few decent battles, they would naturally grow psychologically, and there was no need for him to act like a psychological mentor to guide them.
Not long after, the team of the Tower of Dusk finally passed through the gloomy Frost Hell, and the rookie mages in the team secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the team of the Tower of Dusk could finally be considered to have stepped onto the land of the island of ice, even though there was still a thick layer of ice beneath their feet.
The area of the island of ice was extremely large, and it was almost no different from the mainland. The undulating mountains could also be seen in the distance. However, everything on the island of ice was covered in ice and snow, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere that made one's eyes hurt.
Under Lin Li's orders, the team temporarily stopped for a short rest. Even though they didn't travel far, the rookie mages were still under immense pressure in such a gloomy environment. Hence, Lin Li asked them to slow down a little lest they were unable to focus and commit mistakes when they really encountered a battle.
However, Lin Li did not idle around while the team was resting. Even Connoris and the two Undead servants did not know what he had gone to do. They only knew that he had left the team alone, and returned in another direction soon after. Connoris and the others did not ask much, either, because they knew that Lin Li would say whatever he wanted to say. They would not be able to get any information if he did not say anything.
After Lin Li returned, the team of the Tower of Dusk resumed their journey again, and slowly moved towards the center of the island of ice. However, after a short rest, the rookie mages did recover a lot of energy. At least, they were not as panicky as they had been in the Frost Hell previously.
During the advancement of the team, Lin Li sent Norfeller out to scout out the situation ahead. Lin Li was probably the only one who could use a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm as a scout. However, as a Vampire, Norfeller was known as a natural assassin. Hence, it was naturally easy for him to take on the role of a scout.
The team advanced for about 50 kilometers, and could already be considered to have gone deep into the island of ice. They could no longer see the sea in their surroundings, and there were only undulating mountains. Occasionally, they could also see groups of houses that had once been used to settle down the exiles, but most of them had long been crushed by the snow.
Norfeller returned from scouting, and reported to Lin Li. However, Lin Li merely turned around to look at the rookie mages, and did not give any instructions. Instead, he asked Norfeller to continue scouting ahead.
As soon as Norfeller left, there was suddenly a loud roar and footsteps coming from behind the hill around the team. Next, the people in the team saw a group of monsters that were three to four meters tall and covered in white fur. They were waving ice cones and roaring as they charged towards the team.
"That's a Snow Monster!" someone from the Tower of Dusk immediately yelled.
The white-furred monsters that were rushing over were the Snow Monsters, which were very famous magical beasts in the extreme north of Anril. The Snow Monsters were just like giant white apes, but they were much stronger than the so-called giant apes. Adult Snow Monsters were at least level-15, and had at least 500 kilograms of strength in their arms. They could smash a boulder into pieces with a single slap.
Besides, the Snow Monsters also had talent in ice magic that allowed them to instantly cast ice magic spells below level-15. They could even create a natural disaster like a snowstorm. More importantly, the Snow Monsters themselves exuded a kind of sluggish curse that was just like a simplified version of a Magical Domain. As long as someone stepped into that domain, their movements would immediately become sluggish.
However, compared to the Tower of Dusk's team, the Snow Monsters were still much weaker. After all, the Tower of Dusk's team had at least Legendary-level mages. Even if they were only in the pseudo-Legendary-realm, it would be more than enough for them to deal with the Snow Monsters.
Seeing that there were hundreds of Snow Monsters rushing down from the hill, the mages of the Tower of Dusk immediately got into formation, raised their staffs, and got ready to fight.
Logically speaking, the response of the rookie mages was rather reasonable, but Lin Li couldn't help but shake his head slightly. However, Lin Li couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw that. There was nothing wrong with being cautious, but it wasn't a good thing to be too cautious. The strength of the Snow Monsters was indeed rather powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but they were nothing in front of Legendary powerhouses.
However, the group of Snow Monsters that were not very powerful now made a group of Legendary-mages put on a serious stance. Besides, when the Snow Monsters were getting closer and closer, the rookie mages in the team all looked extremely solemn. In fact, their knuckles that were gripping their staffs were turning pale. Although they couldn't be said to have done anything wrong, the scene was a little comical. It was just like a mouse scaring a cat.
"Attack!" The one in charge of commanding the rookie mages was the assistant of Alan, who was also a rookie mage who had not participated in many battles. His name was Dorick.
Dorick was completely following the textbook. After the Snow Monsters rushed to the theoretical optimal magic range, he gave the order to attack. Next, the group of rookie mages quickly chanted incantations, and the gemstones on their staffs shone brightly, after which a terrifying magic storm swept towards the Snow Monsters.
They were a group of Legendary-mages. Even though they were only in the pseudo-Legendary-realm, the magic that they cast was not something that ordinary Archmages could compare to. The terrifying magic storm immediately engulfed the group of unlucky Snow Monsters, not giving them a chance to attack at all. A few seconds later, everything disappeared. Not only did the Snow Monsters turn into ashes, but even the small mountain ridge collapsed in half.
Seeing that a group of Snow Monsters had disappeared after a round of attacks, the group of rookie mages couldn't help but cheer. Dorick, who was commanding the mages, also scurried towards Lin Li, who had a strange expression on his face. He solemnly reported that he had already killed the enemies.
Seeing this scene, Lin Li couldn't help but facepalm, but he didn't say much, and simply waved his hand to get Dorick to go back. However, there was a benefit to this. At least after this battle, the group of rookie mages had completely gotten rid of the haze brought about by the Frost Hell.
The team set off again, and Connoris chuckled as he approached Lin Li, and said, "Felic, how is it? Aren't you going to say something after seeing the performance of this group of mages?"
"What's there to say? After suffering a loss, they'll learn their lesson," Lin Li replied angrily. The performance of the group of rookie mages had really embarrassed him. Fortunately, there were no teams from other forces there to laugh at them.
