Of course, that did not mean that it was easy for Lin Li to deal with High Priest Poer, who was in the demigod realm. After all, unless Lin Li's trump card could summon a real god, it would probably be a waste to use other trump cards to deal with Poer, who was in the demigod realm. However, those trump cards were useless against powerful demigods, but it did not mean that they would be useless against other Sanctuary powerhouses. Hence, Edmund dared not underestimate Lin Li's trump cards at all.
Hearing Edmund's words, Bradlor had no choice but to believe him even though he couldn't understand it. After all, given Edmund's status, there was no need for him to deceive him. That would not be beneficial to the Illuminati. On the contrary, if Edmund really wanted to plot against the royal family of the Gilded Kingdom, Edmund would not have to say anything to Bradlor, and could just let him anger Lin Li.
Thinking about the conflict in the council hall during the day and Edmund's reminder, Bradlor couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Poer was really as terrifying as Edmund said, the final outcome would have been unimaginable if Edmund hadn't returned in time.
"So, what are we going to do next?" Bradlor asked Edmund while rejoicing that things did not get out of hand, and at the same time, asked Edmund for advice on how to deal with the relationship with the Tower of Dusk in the future.
"Based on my understanding of Felic, he won't be too calculative with you about what happened today. However, you have to be more careful in the future, and don't let those incompetent fools provoke him and the people around him. As for the rest, you just have to know that if you can get on good terms with him, it will definitely not be a bad thing for your Gilded Kingdom. I believe you know what you should do. " Although Edmund did not have much contact with Lin Li, he could tell that Lin Li was not a petty person based on the fact that Lin Li did not kick them when they were down after High Priest Poer severely injured him and Zumar.
If it had been someone else, they would probably have killed Edmund and Zumar and robbed him of the powerful holy artifact when they were seriously injured and had almost lost the ability to resist. Anyway, the Illuminati could push all the blame onto High Priest Poer if they were to pursue the matter. Even if the Illuminati suspected something, they wouldn't be able to say anything. Instead, they would be controlled by others because of the holy artifact.
However, after Lin Li dealt with High Priest Poer, not only did he not attack Edmund and the rest, but he even gave them the holy relic without hesitation. He even helped them find the corpse of the founding saint, Aquilo. Hence, in Edmund's opinion, Lin Li was a typical person who wouldn't offend others if they didn't offend him. As long as they didn't provoke him for no reason, everything would be fine.
Of course, just because Edmund had such an understanding did not mean that Bradlor would think the same. After all, Bradlor knew nothing about what happened in the underground world. Hence, after knowing that Lin Li was a powerhouse that even Edmund dared not underestimate, he immediately thought about how to repair his relationship with Lin Li.
However, since Edmund obviously didn't intend to talk about Lin Li anymore, Bradlor naturally couldn't probe further. Hence, he changed the topic to the cursed island, and asked, "Saint Edmund, did everything go well on the trip to the cursed island this time?"
Even though Bradlor was the king, he didn't have the right to interfere with the matters of the Illuminati. It was even more impossible for him to find out any secrets. Hence, he just asked out of politeness.
Hearing Bradlor's question about the island, Edmund couldn't help but take a deep look at him. Seeing that there was no change in Bradlor's expression, he knew that High Priest Poer had probably acted on his own. However, he didn't talk about High Priest Poer. After all, High Priest Poer was a member of the kingdom, and it wouldn't be good for the relationship between the Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom to mention it now.
Edmund retracted his gaze, and emotionally said, "This time, it's all thanks to President Felic. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Actually, it wasn't just that smooth. If Lin Li hadn't dealt with High Priest Poer, they probably wouldn't have been able to return alive, let alone resurrect Aquilo.
Edmund's words didn't make Bradlor think too much. Although Edmund admired Lin Li's strength, Bradlor wouldn't have thought that the Illuminati's mission was almost entirely completed by Lin Li. However, from Edmund's words, Bradlor could tell that the Illuminati's mission on the cursed island should have been completed. Otherwise, Edmund wouldn't have said that it was smooth.
"In that case, didn't High Priest Poer come back with you?" Bradlor finally asked about High Priest Poer. After all, High Priest Poer was one of Bradlor's men, and he was a rare Sanctuary powerhouse of the Gilded Kingdom. Lin Li, Edmund, and Zumar had returned, but High Priest Poer had yet to return. No one would turn a blind eye to this problem.
"He stayed there," Edmund said calmly.
There were many explanations for staying there. It could be said that he died there, or that he was trapped there, or that he wanted to stay there. However, Bradlor didn't take the matter that seriously. After all, High Priest Poer was also a Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, he just thought that High Priest Poer wanted to stay there to do something.
Hence, seeing that Edmund didn't seem to be willing to talk more about it, Bradlor didn't continue to ask about High Priest Poer. Instead, he said, "Saint Edmund, since everything went well with the Illuminati, about the ancestors of the Gilded Kingdom …"
However, before Bradlor could finish speaking, Edmund raised his hand to stop him, and solemnly said, "Bradlor, now is not the time to talk about that matter. You just have to remember that the Illuminati will abide by the original agreement. Okay, I still have to report the matter on the island to the Lord, so I won't disturb you anymore. "
Bradlor also suddenly snapped back to his senses. Seeing that Edmund was about to leave, he hurriedly got up and personally sent him outside. Putting aside his identity as a king and a saint, Bradlor was definitely Edmund's junior. Hence, it was only natural for him to get up and send him off. After sending Edmund off, he returned to the palace alone, and continued to think about how he should repair his relationship with the young president of the Tower of Dusk.
With Edmund's reminder, Bradlor temporarily gave up on the idea of getting back at the Gilded Kingdom. After all, the Gilded Kingdom was the one who had caused the matter. Even though he was indignant, Bradlor still had to consider the interests of the kingdom. Besides, he didn't really want to start a war.
As the protagonist of this incident, after returning to the embassy of the Tower of Dusk, he brushed off the people of the Breezy Plains with a few perfunctory words, and then sent them away. What happened in the palace today did not cause any ripples in his heart. The horror of war lay in its terrifying destructiveness, but if the battlefield was not in the Breezy Plains, it would have a huge impact on the Breezy Plains.
The Gilded Kingdom was far away, and even if they had the most powerful fleet in Anril, they would have to find a way to land in the Breezy Plains before they could invade the Breezy Plains. Lin Li was confident that with his own strength and the powerful Sky Castle, it would not be too difficult for him to stop the Gilded Kingdom's army from reaching the sea.
Hence, after returning to the embassy, Lin Li did not think much about the matter in the palace, and instead went straight to his room to continue studying the mysterious Divine-Smith-level mageweath without any distractions.
Lin Li had studied it for almost a day and a night yesterday, but to the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, the progress was negligible. He probably hadn't even figured out a millionth of the mystery. However, Lin Li had a clear feeling that he had gained a lot from the research process.
The Divine-Smith-level mageweath could be considered a Book of Eternity in the field of inscription. In fact, the benefits that it could bring to Lin Li were not limited to inscription. Be it magic, mageweaths, potions, or even forging, they would all involve the Laws of this world after reaching a certain level.
Although Lin Li was already a Guru-level inscriber, he was still just a power that belonged to the human world, or rather, the power of mortals. How could the power of mortals be compared to the power of gods? Not to mention the power of gods, even a trace of the power of gods was not something that mortals could contend with.
For example, after High Priest Poer became a slave of the Ancient God of Light, his strength reached the so-called demigod realm, and he had a trace of divine power in his power. With that trace of divine power, High Priest Poer forced Lin Li to the point that he was almost unable to fight back. In fact, even if Edmund and Zumar were not injured at that time, they would probably be crushed by High Priest Poer's abnormal power, let alone Lin Li.
If it were a real god whose power had completely evolved into divine power, Lin Li and Zumar would not need to put up any resistance, for the other party would be able to kill them all with a single finger. That was the difference between gods and mortals. The power of gods had completely exceeded the constraints of this world, and they were heaven-defying existences that mortals could never compare to.
As long as mortals did not ascend to the position of gods, they would have to be bound by the power of this world, and the power they used could only be within the framework of the world. It was like comparing a pond to the sea. No matter how deep the pond was, there would be a bottom, and no matter how strong the wind was, it would not be able to set off huge waves. Ascending to the position of gods was like turning the pond into the sea, where terrifying storms and huge waves could be set off. They would have endless power, and would not be bound by anything.
The Divine-Smith-level mageweath was already a complete control of the World Laws. If one could really study it thoroughly, it would probably not be a problem for him to become a Divine Smith and ascend to the position of gods. However, throughout the countless years of Anril since ancient times, only a few people had truly ascended to the position of gods, and the Immortal King was the only Divine Smith.
Of course, in Lin Li's opinion, Geresco, the God of Mages, was probably also qualified to be called a Divine Smith. For example, the various settings in the inverted tower of the Sky Castle were not something that could be created by ordinary Guru-level figures. However, Lin Li had yet to find a clear Divine-Smith-level work that was truly created by Geresco.
From this, it could be seen that it was definitely not easy to become a Divine Blacksmith. Fortunately, Lin Li had the Divine-Smith-level mageweath to study, which was equivalent to pointing him in the right direction, and giving him a way to become a Divine Smith. Hence, Lin Li definitely attached great importance to the Divine-Smith-level mageweath. Although he could not say that he pinned all his hopes of ascending to the position of gods on it, it was at least much better than blindly fumbling around.
There was actually not much difference between becoming a Divine Smith and ascending to the position of gods through magic research. When one really reached the realm of gods, they would be able to use one method to connect all methods. Everything could be summed up in one word — Laws. The magic that mages cast was a Law, the mageweaths that inscribers drew were also a Law, and so were the pharmacists who concocted potions.
Hence, when it came to combat power, Divine Smiths might not have studied magic before, but they would not be inferior to mages when they reached this realm. In fact, in terms of creativity, Divine Smiths were even stronger than ordinary gods. After all, they could create miracles at any time.
Of course, if Lin Li wanted to use this Divine-Smith-level mageweath to set foot on the realm of a Divine Smith, it would probably take a long time even if he had a clear direction. After all, the Divine-Smith-level mageweath was still too profound for him, and he would need to spend endless energy to study it.
However, Lin Li was not without advantages. After all, the skills that he had mastered were not just mageweaths in the field of inscription, but also knowledge in various aspects such as pharmaceutics and forging. Although these fields of knowledge seemed to exist independently at this stage, they actually involved the essence of Laws, and it was not impossible to comprehend them by analogy.
In addition, while studying the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, Lin Li did not forget another gain from the underground world, which was the power left in the debris of the stars by the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness. The power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness was used by the gods to stabilize the Divine Kingdom. A Divine Kingdom with the incarnation of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness could almost be said to be an extremely real world that could even be compared to Anril.
Lin Li did not expect to turn his Domain World into the legendary Divine Kingdom all of a sudden. However, he could imagine that once he studied the secret of the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness, and added them into his Domain World. Probably no one else in the Sanctuary-realm would have a Domain World that could compare to his Domain World.
The Domain World was also the foundation of Sanctuary powerhouses. The strength and stability of the Domain World would directly affect the strength of Sanctuary powerhouses. If Lin Li had such a powerful Domain World and condensed it into the World Sword, how terrifying would its power be? Even if he were to face the demigod High Priest Poer again, Lin Li would probably be able to severely injure him with the World Sword.
