Why didn't he focus on one type? Actually, that was also a discovery that Lin Li had made during his research. The Divine-Smith-level Mageweath was originally used to suppress the Ancient God of Light, so the Laws involved in the Mageweath were somewhat similar to the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness that suppressed the Divine Kingdom. It could be said that Lin Li's understanding of the Divine-Smith-level mageweath might help him have a deeper understanding of the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness. His understanding of the power of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness might in turn provide some help to his research on mageweaths.
Although Lin Li did not know how long it would take for him to study the Divine-Smith-level mageweath thoroughly, he had gained a lot in the process. This Divine-Smith-level mageweath was like a huge treasure trove. Every step he took in the mageweath gave him a huge wealth of knowledge.
Lin Li was immersed in his research, and was almost oblivious to the outside world. He was not affected by the previous incident at all. Of course, there was no need for him to think about that. Anyway, it was fine as long as the Tower of Dusk did not suffer any losses. Instead, the Gilded Kingdom was slapped in the face. As for whether the Gilded Kingdom was wronged or not, it was not up to him to consider. After all, they didn't care about those clowns.
On the sixth day, the Gilded Kingdom sent their foreign minister, Jefferson, over again. However, Jefferson was not there to declare war, but to remind Lin Li that the decennial Grand Sea Market of the Gilded Kingdom was about to begin.
In addition, Jefferson also brought a message from King Bradlor, saying that he heard that Lin Li had made great achievements in pharmaceutics. Hence, he hoped that Lin Li could put up a few potions for auction after the sea fair began.
In fact, Bradlor did not think that Lin Li could come up with any impressive potions. In his opinion, the fact that Lin Li could step into the Sanctuary-realm at such a young age meant that he had already devoted all his energy to learning magic. As for potioneering, it was most likely just a hobby or something he could do while learning magic. It was impossible for him to achieve anything amazing.
Of course, Bradlor did not intend to watch Lin Li make a fool of himself. Instead, he was prepared to bid for any potion that Lin Li put up for auction at a sky-high price. This way, Lin Li's side would also gain face, and he could also use this method to show enough goodwill. Otherwise, he couldn't possibly ask Bradlor to lower his pride and come to the embassy of the Tower of Dusk to beg for forgiveness.
Lin Li didn't think too much about it, and was just wondering how Bradlor knew that he could concoct potions since he hadn't shown much about pharmaceutics. However, he was too lazy to investigate this. Anyway, when the time came, he would give the old man some face and casually throw a few potions at the auction.
Hence, after exchanging a few words with Jefferson and agreeing to auction the potions, Lin Li sent Jefferson back. After Jefferson left, Lin Li did not immediately return to his room to continue studying the Divine Smith Mageweath. Instead, he decided to go out for a walk and relax after being reminded about the matter of the sea market.
Lin Li hadn't gone out for six days, but the outside world had changed drastically. Although the sea market would only officially begin in 10 days, the capital of the Gilded Kingdom had already begun to look like a sea market. Especially on the streets, there were many people from the Sea Race who were rarely seen in the past, as well as people from different races who wore strange clothes.
The decennial sea market of the Gilded Kingdom this time was obviously countless times larger than the one in the world created by Geresco. Compared to the Sea Clan that Lin Li had seen in the world created by Geresco, the Sea Clan was much more diverse. There were Silver Sharks with sharp noses but no chins, and a mouthful of sharp, jagged teeth. There were also Jellyfish with a head full of transparent tentacles and blurry faces. There were also Lobsters with long spikes on their heads and bean-like eyes. Their giant pincers looked clumsy, but they were as agile as human hands.
To be honest, although Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, the scene was really an eye-opener for him. He had only seen prawn soldiers and crab generals on mythical television before he transmigrated, but he had never seen them in real life in Anril.
However, the civilians of the Gilded Kingdom seemed to be used to the appearance of the Sea Race, and they probably didn't have any special reaction even when they passed by Lin Li and the other foreigners. Of course, to them, the Sea Race were indeed foreigners. Although the strange-looking Sea Race looked ferocious, they were very law-abiding. In fact, some of the Sea Race could even be seen bargaining fiercely with the civilians of the Gilded Kingdom.
Lin Li said that he wanted to relax, but in fact, it was not purely for the sake of relaxing. He mainly wanted to purchase some things. Studying the Divine-Smith-level mageweath was not just a matter of placing the rubbing on the table and staring at it. In order to comprehend the various principles of the mageweath, one had to experiment with it. Otherwise, how would one know if what one had comprehended was correct? Besides, the experiment was not simply about drawing mageweaths, but more about testing the principles of magic, which required a variety of magical materials.
Although the magical materials needed for the experiment should be abundant in the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li couldn't possibly tear open a spatial rift to retrieve them just for the sake of some materials. Hence, if he could solve the problem with money here, it would naturally be the easiest to solve it with money.
When Lin Li first came to the capital of the Gilded Kingdom, he had already visited several large markets here. However, at that time, the things being sold in those markets were all ordinary things that did not pique Lin Li's interest at all. This time, Lin Li did not go around strolling, and instead headed straight for the largest market in the capital based on his memory.
The Gift of the Sea was the largest trade market in Hopra City, the capital of the Gilded Kingdom. It could even be said to be a commercial city within a city. The commercial city gave Lin Li the feeling that it was the so-called shopping city of the world he came from, which was completely composed of all kinds of shops. However, in comparison, the commercial city named the Gift of the Sea was dozens or hundreds of times larger in scale, and was completely worthy of its name.
The main gate of the commercial city was a tall and wide gate that seemed to be not much smaller than a real city gate. However, there were no heavy gates in it, and people could see the bustling scene behind the gate at a glance. At the top of the gate were the words "Gift of the Sea" written in the common language.
A road that was wide enough for four carriages to travel side by side passed through the tall gate and led straight to the deepest part of the Gift of the Sea. On this wide road, the number of people coming and going was several times more than outside, especially the ratio of the Sea Race to the foreign races, which was obviously much higher than outside. Fortunately, the road was wide enough, and although there were many people, it did not seem too crowded. Of course, when the sea fair officially opened, the road would probably be flooded no matter how wide it was.
Lin Li walked slowly along the road, and from time to time, there would be people of the Sea Clan or foreign races passing by, making him feel like he had entered a zoo. On both sides of the road, there were all kinds of shops that were neatly arranged, and they were all buildings of three or four stories. The exteriors of the buildings were also extremely luxurious, and one could tell at a glance that they were rather powerful merchants.
On both sides of the road, there would be a slightly narrower road leading to both sides after passing a few shops. In comparison, the scale of the shops on both sides of the road was slightly worse than that on both sides of the main road. That was similar to the law of the world that Lin Li came from before he transmigrated. The shops with good geographical locations were naturally owned by powerful merchants, while the weakest ones would probably have to sell things in the corners.
When Lin Li had just arrived in Hopra City, he had already visited all the major markets in the city, and had a general understanding of the various shops in the market. Of course, at that time, there was still a long time before the opening of the sea fair, so the goods in those shops were far less complete than they were now. Now, in order to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, those shops had really put out all their treasures, and the prices of all the goods were obviously several times higher than before.
However, those shops were basically run by some trade unions of the Gilded Kingdom. Although they were all filled with rare goods, they were nothing to Lin Li. After casually buying some magical materials in those shops, Lin Li no longer paid attention to the shops on the street, and simply walked straight along the road.
In this market, there was a special area that took up about one-fifth of the entire market, and was specially designated for the merchants of the Sea Clan to operate. It was said that the owners of all the shops in this area were the Octopus Clan, a large clan of the Sea Clan. In addition to the Gift of the Sea market, there were also similar areas in several other markets in Hopra City, but they belonged to different clans of the Sea Clan.
The main reason for such a division was because they were worried that there would be conflicts between the people of the Gilded Kingdom and the Sea Clan. After all, when it came to interests, the merchants wouldn't care about issues such as race diplomacy, and would do anything for the sake of 200% of their interests. That was not only true for the human merchants of the Gilded Kingdom, but also for the merchants of the Sea Clan. In fact, the division of business was more to protect the merchants of the Gilded Kingdom. The merchants of the sea relied on the sea to make a living, and if they really offended the Sea Clan, they would definitely die a horrible death.
Of course, those things had nothing to do with Lin Li. Anyway, it would be more convenient for him to find the specialties of the Sea Clan that he needed by gathering the merchants of the Sea Clan together.
It didn't take long for Lin Li to arrive at the area where the merchants of the Sea Clan were operating, and it was just like the territory of the Sea Clan. Although there were also some human merchants buying things there, the proportion was relatively small compared to the number of Sea Clan members. After all, the sea market had yet to officially open, and it would only be bustling when the giants of the mainland arrived.
As soon as Lin Li walked into the business area of the merchants of the Sea Clan, he felt like his horizons had been broadened at this moment even though he was already considered knowledgeable. Although the merchants of the Sea Clan usually traded with the Gilded Kingdom, in order to make a fortune at this sea market, they naturally took out all the good stuff that they had.
When he passed by the first shop, Lin Li was shocked by the items displayed in the shop. The shop was run by a member of the Sea Clan of the Silver Shark Clan, and the products sold in the shop were mainly magical gems and crystals from the sea. The most eye-catching spot in the shop was actually two blue crystal pillars that looked like house pillars.
Since it could be displayed in such a conspicuous position like a treasure of the shop, it was naturally not an ordinary blue crystal pillar. If one took a closer look, they would discover that there was a faint layer of silver light flowing on the surface of the two blue crystal pillars, and the light was actually made up of countless extremely tiny magic runes.
Although Lin Li had never seen such things before, he immediately thought of a treasure in the deep sea after seeing the magic runes and sensing the nomological power in the blue crystal pillars. It was actually not a crystal at all, but a condensed Divine Sea Pillar that was known as the Divine Sea Pillar.
It was said that if such a Sea God's Pillar was placed on a ship, the ship wouldn't have the slightest jolt even if it encountered a huge storm on the sea, let alone the danger of capsizing. It could be said to be a life-saving treasure for ships sailing on the sea. If the Divine Sea Pillar was used as the core and a mageweath that stimulated the power of the Divine Sea Pillar was set up, it could even help the ship suppress the wind and waves within 50 kilometers. In that case, it would not just be a ship that could be protected, but a whole fleet of ships.
If a sea merchant could have such a Divine Sea Pillar, the risk of doing business on the Endless Ocean would be reduced by half. As for why not all risks would be eliminated, one had to remember that the risks at sea did not only come from the wind and waves, but also from the ubiquitous pirates, who were the greatest enemies of the sea merchants. The Divine Sea Pillar could suppress the wind and waves, but it did not have the ability to drive away pirates. Instead, the value of the Divine Sea Pillar might cause the owner to be coveted by more pirates.
Of course, placing the Divine Sea Pillar on the ship to protect the safety of the ship was only the lowest use of the Divine Sea Pillar. Those who could really make use of the power of the Divine Sea Pillar would have to be mages above the Legendary-realm. In fact, only Sanctuary powerhouses could truly exert the value of the Divine Sea Pillar.
For example, Elder Zumar's Domain World was an oceanic world. If he could obtain such a Divine Sea Pillar, the power of the oceanic world would be increased by at least 50%.
