Initially, Lin Li had promised Edmund that he would help speed up Aquilo's resurrection after studying the mageweath on the monument, but he did not take it too seriously. It was not that he looked down on his promise, but rather that he did not know when he would be able to master the mageweath on the monument. After all, it was a Divine-Smith-level mageweath. Moreover, Lin Li had many other things to do, and could not really devote all his energy to studying the mageweath from now on.
But now, Aquilo's image had left half of the sentence unsaid. Lin Li had to reconsider how much effort he should put into studying the mageweath. The earlier he mastered the mageweath, the earlier he could revive Aquilo, and the earlier he could hear Aquilo talk about the Immortal King.
Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that Lin Li might be lucky enough to understand everything before mastering the monument mageweath. However, Lin Li was never one to entrust himself to luck, and he never thought that the Goddess of Luck would stand firmly on his side. Hence, to him, relying on his own efforts was far more reliable than relying on luck.
While Lin Li was thinking about it, Edmund had already finished the ritual of resurrecting Lord Aquilo. With the help of Elder Zumar, he approached Lin Li, and said, "President Felic, we have completed our mission here. I hope that you can remember to help us speed up the resurrection of President Aquilo after mastering the mageweath on the monument. "
If it were in the past, Lin Li would not go back on his promise, but he would not treat it as a top priority either. Perhaps when he was completely free and had time, he would consider helping the Illuminati. However, he could not wait to get Aquilo to speak before Edmund said anything. Hence, he naturally took the matter to heart.
However, Lin Li did not show his eagerness. Instead, he nodded slightly, and calmly said, "Saint Edmund, don't worry. Since I have promised you, I will definitely help you as long as I have the ability."
Edmund was finally relieved after getting a positive answer. However, he also knew in his heart that whether or not the other party would be able to help him in the future would depend on what the Illuminati did. If the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk were to go to war and become enemies, would the Illuminati still help them?
Of course, with that concern, Edmund believed that he should be able to convince the senior executives of the Illuminati to change their attitude towards the Tower of Dusk. After all, no matter which force it was, war was not the best choice. Even the Illuminati's War Holy Temple was not the kind that would start a fight over a disagreement.
With different thoughts in mind, the three of them turned around to look at Aquilo, who was still recovering, and left the ruins.
Edmund's mission had been completed, and Lin Li had no intention of continuing to explore here. Even though they had seen the monument that suppressed the Ancient God of Light and found Aquilo who was waiting to be resurrected, these were only the tip of the iceberg for this underground world. Even with Lin Li's strength, he did not dare to explore further. After all, this was a place where a deity had fallen.
Besides, Lin Li had gained a lot this time, and the most important thing now was to absorb the gains and turn them into his own strength. For example, the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness. If Lin Li could comprehend and master the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness, his Domain World would definitely be the most powerful in the Sanctuary-realm, even though he could not directly create his own Divine Kingdom. The Divine-Smith-level mageweath also pointed Lin Li in the path of becoming a Divine Smith, and he might even be able to use it to ascend to the realm of gods.
Since they had no intention of continuing to explore, the two teams reorganized themselves a little, and returned along the path that they came from under the lead of their respective leaders. On the way back, the speed was much faster, and it took about half a day for the two teams to arrive outside the dazzling palace.
However, when the two teams arrived at the bottom of the huge black hole that they had entered the underground world through, there was still a little trouble. When they fell from above, it took them an entire day, and those who were weaker were almost drained of mana. Now, they had to fly out from here, which was even more taxing than when they had landed.
The people of the Tower of Dusk all had magic wings, and although flying out would consume more mana, the main consumption was the power crystal of the magic wings. Not to mention Legendary-mages, even an Archmage would be able to fly out easily with the magic wings.
However, it was different for the people of the Gilded Kingdom, who had to rely on their own mana to fly. Those who were weaker would probably fall halfway through the flight. Hence, when they stood under the huge black hole, the people of the Gilded Kingdom could not help but look bitter as they wondered if they could fly out alive.
Besides, when they descended, there were still three Sanctuary powerhouses of the Gilded Kingdom who could take care of those who were not strong enough. However, High Priest Poer could not go back now, and Edmund and Zumar were injured too. How could they have the energy to take care of others?
Edmund naturally thought of that problem too. He turned his head to look at the team of the Tower of Dusk, and saw that the mages were putting on the magic wings. After hesitating for a while, he brought Zumar to Lin Li again.
"Saint Edmund, why aren't you guys preparing to leave this place? Is there anything else?" Lin Li naturally did not use the magic wings, and simply watched his subordinates get ready. Seeing that Edmund and Zumar had come over again, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"This …" Edmund looked a little awkward, but the problem had to be solved. Since he had already owed Lin Li a favor once, why not do it again? Hence, he said, "President Felic, here's the thing. We didn't think it through before, and didn't expect it to be so difficult to enter this place. Now, it's several times more difficult to leave this place than when we came in. I see that your subordinates all have those magic wings to help them fly. I wonder if you have more that you can sell us. "
"Oh, I see." Lin Li finally understood. It turned out that the people of the Gilded Kingdom had the ability to enter, but not the ability to leave. However, the magic wings that the Tower of Dusk had brought this time were mainly for testing purposes. Basically, everyone had one. At most, they would have a few more in case of emergencies. There were many people in the team of the Gilded Kingdom, and the few magic wings that Lin Li had were not enough for everyone.
In fact, Edmund and Zumar had also thought of that. Everyone was here for an adventure, so who would bring so many magic wings with them? They weren't here to do business, after all. More importantly, although the magic wings looked simple, they also involved very important alchemy techniques. If it were Edmund, he probably wouldn't be willing to give the magic wings to others. The reason he came to ask Lin Li was that he really couldn't think of any other way. Otherwise, he would have to continue staying here and wait for his strength to recover before he could bring his subordinates out in batches.
Hence, seeing that Lin Li seemed to be in a difficult position, Edmund didn't say anything more. He had no choice but to force a smile, and said, "President Felic, forget about it. Let's think of other ways."
However, just as Edmund and Zumar were about to leave in disappointment, Lin Li called them back again, and said, "Saint Edmund, Elder Zumar, I really don't have many of these magic wings with me. However, if you just want to leave this place safely, I have something that I can lend you. "
By the time Edmund and Zumar turned around, Lin Li had already released a massive object from the Ring of Endless Storm. It was a massive airship. Airships were not unique to the world that Lin Li came from. In fact, when the goblins created their alchemical civilization, airships were an important means of transportation for them.
However, with the demise of the goblins, many products of the alchemical civilization were also lost. Due to the slow flying speed of the alchemical airship, it was easy for it to become a target for enemies in the sky. Hence, no one was willing to study it, and naturally lost the possibility of flying in the sky again.
"This, this is …" Seeing that Lin Li had actually released a massive airship, Edmund and Zumar were both shocked, and couldn't believe their eyes. Putting aside the technical issues involved in the airship, just the fact that Lin Li could carry such a huge airship around with him was enough to make one's jaw drop. Even an artifact's Space Ring would not be able to hold as much space as that.
Hence, the people of the Tower of Dusk spread their magic wings and flew straight towards the black hole in the sky. On the other hand, the people of the Gilded Kingdom began to work on the airship that Lin Li had left for them, and then slowly floated up into the sky. Fortunately, the operation of the airship was simple. Although it was extremely slow, it was at least safe, and wouldn't cause people to fall halfway through the flight.
Lin Li quickly flew out of the underground world with the crowd, and led them straight to the edge of the island where The Star was docked. As for the airship, Lin Li estimated that the people of the Gilded Kingdom would take at least three to five days to get out. Hence, he couldn't be bothered to wait. Anyway, there wasn't any great technology, and it didn't matter if it was left in the hands of the people of the Gilded Kingdom.
