Just as Cantory was feeling puzzled, he happened to hear what happened in front of the embassy of the Tower of Dusk, which immediately made him overjoyed. Regardless of what happened to Harquess, he knew Greena's temper too well, and he knew that Greena was definitely not a person who was willing to suffer losses.
Hence, Cantory immediately put aside the matter of Harquess, and rushed over to chat with Greena. If Harquess really had any concerns, Gerina would be able to replace Harquess and teach Felic a lesson for him. If Lin Li was just being paranoid about Harquess, it would be a good thing for Felic to have another Gerina as an opponent.
Cantory and Greena went to the Red Sea Palace of the Giant Shark Clan, but Cantory left when they were about to arrive. As for what the two of them talked about along the way, only they knew. At this moment, it was as if nothing had happened in the embassy of the Tower of Dusk, and the people of the Tower of Dusk were doing their own things.
Lin Li didn't listen to what Dorick said at all, and simply listened to the outcome before continuing to fiddle with the things that he had obtained from the secret trader's market.
The most useful things that he had obtained from the secret trader's market were the Netherworld Pearls and the King Hunter's Blade. The Netherworld Pearls had already been sent back to the Tower of Dusk, and the King Hunter's Blade had been given to Norfeller. As for the other things, they basically had to be processed before they could be of use. For example, some extremely rare deep-sea herbs. Although the secret trader's market had already carried out basic processing, Lin Li felt that the processing methods were still too crude. In order to preserve the power of the herbs as best as possible, he had to personally process them.
In addition to processing those things, Lin Li also had to help Angelano modify the Alchemy Colossus so that it could maximize the use of the power of the Divine Sea Pillar. Although the Divine Sea Pillar could allow the Alchemy Colossus to have the ability to move freely in the ocean as long as it was placed in the body of the Alchemy Colossus, it would only be able to move freely. It was just like how a piece of wood could float in the water, but that piece of wood could not become a battleship.
Angelano was a Guru of Alchemy Colossuses, and had a deep understanding of Alchemy Arrays. However, in order to fully exert the power of the Divine Sea Pillar, he still needed the help of a Guru of Inscription like Lin Li. Lin Li was also very willing to do that. Although Angelano was timid and cherished his life, and would hardly take the initiative to participate in any battles, the situation would most likely be quite dangerous when he was required to participate in the battle. Hence, if he could increase the strength of his Alchemy Colossus, it would more or less be a helping hand. He might even be able to play a crucial role.
In addition to helping Angelano modify the Alchemy Colossus, Connoris also needed Lin Li's help in studying the two Light-winged Angels. Although the two Light-winged Angels could not directly increase Connoris' strength, their life form could give him some reference to better understand and master his perfect body.
However, the Light-winged Angels were imprisoned in Lin Li's Domain World, and could not be released at will. The two Light-winged Angels were also at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, but they were subdued and suppressed by Lin Li because they were in Lin Li's Domain World. If they were released now, it would not be easy to put them back into the Domain World.
Hence, if Connoris wanted to study the Light-winged Angels, he would have to let Lin Li expand the Domain World, and then enter Lin Li's Domain World to study it.
Of course, when Connoris was studying the Light-winged Angels, Lin Li did gain something. If he could figure out the life form of the Light-winged Angels, he might be able to create a similar life in the Domain World instead of the Angels of Light and Dark, which were pure energy bodies.
Even though Lin Li did not study the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, he did not really stay idle. Days passed quickly, and he modified the Alchemy Colossus, studied the Light-winged Angels, and processed herbs and other precious materials.
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed, and the decennial Sheng Da Hai City had finally officially opened. An exquisite and gorgeous invitation was sent to the Tower of Dusk by the foreign minister of the Gilded Kingdom. The invitation was to invite Lin Li to an auction that would be held a few days later, and it would be the largest auction to be held to celebrate the opening of the Sheng Da Hai City.
Before the auction began, there would be an event to display the auction items. Just like those art exhibitions, many of the items that would be auctioned at the auction would be displayed for people to admire. However, the items that were displayed at the exhibition were not all of the items that would be auctioned at the auction. Those that were not valuable enough would not be displayed, and the finale items would not be displayed in order to maintain a sense of mystery.
One of the main functions of the exhibition was to allow people who were preparing to participate in the auction to understand the information of the items to be auctioned in advance so that they could choose the target that they wanted to bid for. Of course, there was another purpose, and that was to let people prepare enough gold coins so that they would not miss out on what they needed due to lack of preparation. However, for the organizers of the auction, it was also to push the prices of the items to a higher level.
There were two ways to participate in the exhibition. One was to rely on the invitation sent out by the auction, and the other was to buy tickets. The tickets were not cheap either. After all, the items here were very valuable, and it was impossible for them to be displayed there for everyone to see.
After getting the invitation, Lin Li took some time to bring his men to see the items to be auctioned. He had to admit that the auction was indeed worthy of being the opening auction of the Sheng Da Hai City. Not only were there a large number of items, but they were also of rare quality. However, the magic scroll that Lin Li had auctioned was not among them.
On the one hand, magic scrolls were not like magical equipment that could be displayed directly. They were just rolls of animal skin that were placed there. On the other hand, the scroll was the product of Lin Li's research on Divine-Smith-level mageweaths. It contained a trace of Divine-Smith-level power, and its value was probably not inferior to any of the rare treasures here.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that the auctioneer had bad taste and treated Lin Li's scroll as a useless item that was not worth displaying.
However, Lin Li did not care much about that. Anyway, he was not short of money, and if someone were to bid for it at a very low price, that person would be in luck. The reason he took out such a magic scroll to participate in the auction was actually just to deal with the Gilded Kingdom. After all, they had taken the initiative to express their goodwill, so there was no need for him to be petty.
Lin Li went to the exhibition, and basically had a rough idea of the items to be auctioned. Hence, he did not think about those things anymore. At the same time, in the palace of the Gilded Kingdom, Bradlor was also listening to an official's report.
"What? It didn't even go to the exhibition?" Bradlor could not help but frown.
The official bowed, and respectfully said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I carefully looked at every corner of the exhibition, but there was no magic scroll brought by President Felic."
Bradlor sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's good that he didn't take it out. Otherwise, if the value of that item was displayed, I'm afraid it would cause trouble again. I wonder what that petty Felic would do."
At the exhibition, the best items would not be displayed, but those of relatively low value would not be displayed, either. He did not think that President Felic would take out a real treasure. Since it was not the best item, and it was not displayed at the exhibition, it had to be of poor value.
Bradlor's worry was not unreasonable. If an item that was obviously of little value was placed together with other rare treasures, the owners of the other auction items would definitely be dissatisfied, and the petty President Felic would probably take it as a humiliation to him.
And the current situation was actually a good thing for Bradlor. Anyway, no one would know the value of that magic scroll. Even if he spent a lot of money to bid for it, it would not be too obvious in the eyes of others, and they might even think that it was really a treasure.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and immediately after the grand opening ceremony of the sea fair, a series of celebratory activities began. One should not think that the sea fair was only related to businessmen. With the opening of the sea fair, a large number of circuses and famous performing groups from all over the world would come to add to the atmosphere of the opening of the sea fair.
Although the thrilling and exciting performances were not worth mentioning in the eyes of some powerful people, the ordinary people of this world were actually similar to the people of the world that Lin Li had transmigrated from before. There were many things that they found unbelievable, such as beast-taming acrobatics and displays of strange creatures. Those were all very popular among the commoners, and were more attractive to them than auctions.
In addition, there were also performances such as songs and dances, which were often the favorite of the nobles and mages of various countries. Besides, there were also celebrities in this world who sang well, danced well, and acted well. At the same time, they would also be sought after by countless people. It was said that there was once a drama star who was just an ordinary person who even had a team of Legendary powerhouses to protect him. He could be considered a role model for everyone in the industry.
In addition to those more artistic performances, there was also a kind of performance that almost everyone liked, and that was the bloody and cruel gladiatorial competitions. In fact, even the High Elves were extremely passionate about gladiatorial competitions back then, and even created countless creations specifically for gladiatorial competitions. For example, there were battle formations that were still used by many forces, and the Tower of Death that specialized in training gladiators, etc.
Of course, since there were gladiatorial competitions, there would definitely be gambling. In fact, the bloody excitement was only one of the reasons why the gladiator fights were so attractive. Another reason was that there were often large and small bets accompanying the gladiator fights. Intelligent races seemed to have a gambling nature in their souls, and even the elves who claimed to believe in nature were no exception.
Hence, after the official opening of the sea fair, both the nobles and the commoners seemed to be in a festive mood, and the entire capital of the Gilded Kingdom was filled with a festive atmosphere. In fact, it was not just the capital, Hopra City. It could be said that the entire Four Seasons Island was shrouded in a festive atmosphere at this time.
Of course, there was another important reason for that, and that was that after the official opening of the sea fair, it would be the founding celebration of the Gilded Kingdom soon. That was the real moment of national celebration, and it was the real festival for everyone in the Gilded Kingdom. During the founding celebration, there would be a series of activities in the Gilded Kingdom, such as priests and ancestors, a military parade to show off their military power, and holiday benefits to the people. There would even be an amnesty.
Although Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, he had only transmigrated to this world for a few years, after all. Hence, in the past few days, he almost did not abstain from meat. He watched the circus, enjoyed the singing and dancing, and shed a few tears for a certain drama. He behaved just like an ordinary person.
Just like that, after Lin Li relaxed for two days, it was finally time for the opening of the auction. Just as he was about to leave the embassy with Connoris to go to the auction venue, Elder Zumar arrived at the embassy of the Tower of Dusk with his disciple, Forcus, and Prince Monteri, who had previously resolved the conflict between the Giant Shark Clan and the Tower of Dusk.
After a few greetings, Elder Zumar introduced Prince Monteri to Lin Li, and emphasized the previous matter. He said, "President Felic, let me introduce you to Prince Monteri. He was the one who showed up a few days ago to stop the people of the Giant Shark Clan who wanted to disturb you."
The Illuminati and the royal family of the Gilded Kingdom had the same attitude towards Lin Li. Hence, Elder Zumar mentioned the matter that happened a few days ago in the hope that Prince Monteri would leave a good impression on Lin Li. After interacting with Lin Li for such a long time, Elder Zumar was already very clear that Lin Li was definitely a person who would respect others in return. As long as he did not cause any trouble, he would actually be easy to get along with.
In fact, although Lin Li did not show up during the previous incident, any changes outside did not escape his mental strength. Hence, Lin Li did not show much attitude towards Prince Monteri. Instead, he smiled faintly, and said, "Oh, it's Prince Monteri. Hello."
Lin Li's attitude did not show any particular enthusiasm because of Prince Monteri's identity. It was as if he was simply getting to know another person who used to be a stranger. Perhaps, if Elder Zumar introduced him to a farmer at this time, he would respond in the same way.
However, such an attitude seemed a little cold to Prince Monteri. In the Gilded Kingdom, Prince Monteri's reputation was not inferior to that of the two chancellors. In fact, due to the fact that he had helped the royal family improve their reputation, he also had an excellent reputation among the commoners. If it were anyone else, they would at least be more or less enthusiastic about getting to know Prince Monteri.
