Just as Lin Li was about to start studying the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, one of his subordinates suddenly reported to him that someone had sent him a gift.
Lin Li opened the door, and saw that it was a mage from the team of mages who was holding a box in both hands. Hence, he asked, "Jason, is this the gift? Where's the person who sent the gift? "
"President, the person who sent the gift is a commoner of the Gilded Kingdom. I heard that he was also entrusted by someone else to do so. As for more information, the other party can't say anything," said the mage Jason with a face full of curiosity. Gifts were usually given for the sake of letting others know about them. Why would someone be afraid of letting others know about them? Could it be that the gift is not a gift, but something provocative?
Lin Li frowned slightly, and after grabbing the box, he said to Jason, "Okay, I got it. You may go."
"Yes, President." Jason bowed respectfully and took his leave.
Lin Li returned to his room with the box, and placed it on the table, but he did not immediately open it. The first thought that came to his mind was that it was a bomb package, which he had seen plenty of before he transmigrated. However, on second thought, he realized that with his current strength, what kind of bomb could threaten him?
In that case, could it be a provocative package sent by someone else? For example, if someone from the Tower of Dusk was captured, they might cut off their ears, fingers, or head and send it to him. Even in the world of Anril, such things should be very common. For example, bandits would often resort to such tricks to extort money or seek revenge.
Lin Li couldn't be bothered to think too much about it, and simply opened the box. The contents of the box were immediately revealed. Looking at the contents of the box, Lin Li vaguely guessed who had sent the gift. There were some neatly placed crystal boxes in the box, which contained the Blood of the Sea God that he had just bought today.
There were 16 crystal boxes in the box, each of which contained about 40 grams of the Blood of the Sea God. Although the Blood of the Sea God was not a rare item, the Octopus Clan was probably the only one who could take out so much of it at once. The only ones who knew that he had bought the Blood of the Sea God from the market were Cantory and Harquess of the Octopus Clan. Cantory definitely wouldn't give him a gift, so Harquess was the only one left.
In fact, just as Lin Li had guessed, the box of Blood of the Sea God was indeed sent by Harquess. However, even though Harquess knew that Lin Li's attainments in inscription were extremely high, he still couldn't bring himself to face Lin Li directly. However, the Grand Elder wanted him to apologize, so he thought of that solution. Since the gift was given, what else could it be if it wasn't an apology? In this way, the Great Elder would have an explanation, and he would not have to face the awkwardness.
However, what Harquess didn't expect was that Lin Li did not take the matter in the market to heart at all. If Harquess really came to apologize or befriend him in person, Lin Li wouldn't bother to make things difficult for him or give him a hard time. Unfortunately, Harquess was too self-centered, and missed the opportunity to build a relationship with Lin Li.
Lin Li had only bought the Blood of the Sea God for Gordon to advance. Now that Gordon had already devoured the Blood of the Sea God, and his strength had increased significantly, he naturally didn't need the Blood of the Sea God anymore. Besides, Lin Li had a better ink formula for drawing mageweaths, so he didn't need the Blood of the Sea God at all. Hence, he closed the box and threw it into a corner.
Afterwards, Lin Li devoted himself to the study of the Divine-Smith-level mageweath. This time, Lin Li had a deeper understanding of the mageweath, and it was no longer just a theoretical analysis. He gradually began to put it into practice. After all, theoretical understanding was only theoretical, and only through practice could he have a deeper understanding of the theory and verify if there were any deviations in his understanding of the theory.
At this moment, the embassy of the Tower of Dusk was basically closed to all visitors. Even Englos of the Brilliance Shrine and Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, who were on good terms with Lin Li, had their doors slammed in their faces several times, let alone others. The Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom would send people over every two or three days to get in touch with each other, but they had no choice but to give up.
In the embassy, Lin Li hardly stepped out of his room, and simply threw out a large number of abandoned mageweaths every day. Although the amount of magic ink used to draw mageweaths was not much, the magic materials used to formulate the magic ink were all very expensive and rare. They were all sold by the gram.
The amount of abandoned mageweaths that Lin Li threw out every day was enough to bury a person, and the consumption of magic ink was rather terrifying. If the magic ink that was consumed was converted into gold coins, it would probably be enough to bankrupt a small country. Besides, that was just the daily consumption.
At the same time, there would often be soul-stirring roars coming from Lin Li's room, and even the entire embassy would tremble from time to time. Fortunately, Lin Li had set up defensive mageweaths in his room. Otherwise, the entire embassy would probably have been razed to the ground, let alone his room.
The commotion frightened the people in the embassy, and many of the envoys of the forces even moved out of the embassy as if they were taking refuge. Of course, even if they weren't afraid, they probably wouldn't be able to stay there any longer. Who could rest peacefully amidst the roars and tremors?
Just like that, time passed day after day, and the phenomenon in the embassy of the Tower of Dusk gradually calmed down. Just when everyone thought that everything was finally over, a room in the embassy of the Tower of Dusk suddenly emitted a dazzling ray of light. As the light shone, the entire embassy also became somewhat transparent under the light, as if it had suddenly become a crystal building.
However, the phenomenon only appeared for a moment, and did not attract much attention. After all, most of the people in the embassy had long moved out to seek peace and quiet. After the phenomenon disappeared, the door of Lin Li's room in the embassy of the Tower of Dusk finally opened again.
"President!"
When the mages of the Tower of Dusk sensed the phenomenon, they knew that Lin Li's matter should have reached a critical juncture. Hence, under the leadership of Dorick, they stood guard outside Lin Li's room lest someone should disturb Lin Li at this time.
Lin Li, who walked out of the room, nodded at the crowd, and then threw a scroll in his hand to Dorick. He said, "Take this scroll to the people of the Gilded Kingdom to attend the auction they mentioned."
Dorick caught the scroll, but did not dare to open it. Instead, he bowed to Lin Li respectfully, and said, "Yes, President, I'll get it done right away. In addition, during this period of time, Archbishop Englos of the Brilliance Shrine, High Priest Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, Elder Zumar of the Illuminati, and Jefferson, the Foreign Minister of the Gilded Kingdom, have all come to visit. "
"Okay, got it," Lin Li said, and turned around to return to his room. He then turned around and returned to his room. However, this time, he did not study anything, and instead began to rest. During this period of time, Lin Li's mental strength had almost reached the point of overdrafting, and he had not only spent a lot of money. Fortunately, the research had finally yielded some results, and the scroll that Dorick had auctioned should be one of the results of his research during this period of time.
However, Lin Li was well aware that he was still a long way from truly studying the Divine-Smith-level mageweath thoroughly. The gains he had now could only be considered a small step. In order to truly step into the domain of a Divine Smith, he would probably have to put in tens of thousands of times more effort.
Lin Li was well aware that the Divine-Smith-level mageweath was not something that he could study thoroughly in a short period of time. Even though he had completed a stage of research and obtained corresponding results, if he wanted to go further and gain more results, he would probably have to spend hundreds of times more energy and time. If he had enough time, he could go into seclusion for one or two hundred years, and he might be able to master the Divine-Smith-level mageweath. However, the reality was that there was no time for him to go into seclusion for one or two hundred years, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to do outside.
In particular, the cataclysm that Geresco had predicted had already appeared, and God knew how long the nomological barrier of Anril could last. Perhaps it would be tomorrow, or perhaps it would be a year. Those prehistoric magical beasts that had been expelled into the space-time crack might descend upon this world once again, bringing a catastrophe to this world.
Although it was said that once he mastered the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, he might be able to step into the domain of a Divine Smith, that seemed too far away after all. Hence, Lin Li couldn't really let go of everything and focus on studying the Divine-Smith-level mageweath. Placing all his bets on such an uncertain chance was definitely the most foolish thing to do. If he didn't get more power from the Divine-Smith-level mageweath when the disaster struck, and ended up wasting other opportunities to improve his strength instead, wouldn't the gains not make up for the losses?
Besides, there was another point, and that was the so-called balance between work and rest. If he wanted to go into seclusion to study the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, he could just go back to the Tower of Dusk for seclusion. Why did he have to stay in the Gilded Kingdom? It was just like going on a trip. If one didn't go to see the scenic spots, and instead slept in the hotel for two days, what would be the point of the trip?
Hence, after Lin Li condensed all his gains in the past few days into the scroll, he simply put the Divine-Smith-level mageweath down. Anyway, the mageweath was in his hands, and he could study it whenever he wanted. On the other hand, the sea market was about to open, and it would be a pity to miss it.
However, this time, Lin Li did not go out alone, but brought Connoris and Angelano along. Although Lin Li had a lot of knowledge in his head, especially the knowledge of the game world before he transmigrated, he dared not say that he was omniscient, and might not be able to see through everything at a glance. Since the sea market was said to have gathered all the rare treasures of Anril, Lin Li couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't make a mistake. Hence, it was necessary to bring two helpers along.
There were some things that Lin Li could match with the game world before he transmigrated, and thus know the value of those things. However, there were some things that he might not be able to understand through such a method. Connoris was an ancient demon deity who had lived for tens of millions of years, after all. Hence, he naturally had a lot of knowledge, especially about Anril. He probably knew it better than Lin Li, who was an outsider.
Angelano, on the other hand, was naturally not as knowledgeable as Connoris. However, the main purpose of him going to the sea market with Lin Li was to find some materials that could increase the combat power of his Alchemy Colossus. It was not because Angelano suddenly wanted to work hard, but because he was timid and afraid of death.
Angelano now also knew that the enemies he encountered were getting stronger and stronger by following Lin Li. With the help of that Alchemy Colossus, it was getting harder and harder for him to stay alive in the Sanctuary-level battles. He could hide and stay far away from those dangers, but that would only last for a while. There would always be a time when he couldn't hide anymore.
Angelano's Alchemy Colossus was a Titan-level Alchemy Colossus, and its strength was definitely at the peak of the Legendary-level. However, that was the limit of its strength. Others could rely on their own efforts to step up to the next realm step by step, but the Alchemy Colossus was a dead object, after all. How could it comprehend the realm?
Hence, there was only one way to improve the strength of the Alchemy Colossus — transformation. For example, the materials of the accessories could be replaced with more advanced ones, or the weapon system could be replaced with more powerful ones. However, those things could not be changed at will, especially the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus, which had already reached the peak of Alchemy Colossus technology. The materials used were also the best. Hence, it would not be easy to transform it.
Angelano's purpose of tagging along was to find some rare materials in the sea market to transform his Alchemy Colossus. Of course, the rare materials that could increase the combat power of the Alchemy Colossus would definitely be expensive, but that was not a problem for him to consider. Anyway, in his opinion, the Tower of Dusk was rich.
Lin Li left the embassy of the Tower of Dusk with the two of them, and first headed straight to the market known as the Gift of the Sea. Although he had already been there a few days ago, he had mainly gone to purchase the materials for the preparation of magic ink, and did not waste much time on other things. The Gift of the Sea could be considered the largest market in Hopra City, and it was not something that could be completed in a short period of time.
However, Lin Li began to regret it before he even reached the Gift of the Sea. It was mainly because of that coward Angelano. He actually had to wear that colorful and comical armor while he was just shopping in the market. Along the way, he was really eye-catching. However, the dwarf did not have any self-awareness at all, and even shouted and whistled at some women along the way. It was really embarrassing.
