Yeah, this President Felic is also a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse. How can he just stand there and watch others fight with their lives on the line!? Those who stayed were either of high status and could not afford to take the risk, or those who were not strong enough to participate in the battle. Lin Li, a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, should have gone to battle, and not just stood there and watched the show. Hence, the gazes of the people who heard Greener's reminder towards Lin Li immediately changed.
However, Lin Li seemed to be oblivious to it as he continued to look at the battlefield without turning his head. "Of course, I can see it better from here."
As soon as Lin Li said that, the people around him immediately became even more displeased. What did he mean by seeing it better from here? Did he really treat this battle as a show?
In particular, Bradlor was only sucking up to Lin Li because of what Saint Edmund had said, but it did not mean that he had completely forgotten about the two times he had humiliated Lin Li. Now, the Gilded Kingdom could be said to have reached a critical juncture of life and death. If the Berserk Whale Rabu could not be chased away, the Gilded Kingdom would really be doomed. In this case, Bradlor naturally did not have to worry about Saint Edmund's intentions anymore. He turned around, and said to Lin Li, "President Felic, although it's a little inappropriate for me to say this, and you're just our guests, I hope you can help us deal with the Berserk Whale on account that we're both humans."
Although he was displeased with Lin Li's inaction, Bradlor had a favor to ask of him, after all. Hence, he naturally could not be too forceful, and even used the fact that they were both humans as a reason to persuade Lin Li. Indeed, there were so many forces in the Endless Ocean, but the Gilded Kingdom was the only one made up of humans.
"Your Majesty Bradlor, you'd better not pin your hopes on him. Now you should know what kind of person you've been protecting!" Greener had always been brooding over the matter of the Gilded Kingdom protecting Lin Li previously, and now he finally had a chance to vent his frustrations.
Hearing Greener's words, Bradlor's face turned sullen, and he looked at Lin Li with a pleading look in his eyes. "President Felic, there was a misunderstanding between us previously, but hasn't it been resolved?"
Although Bradlor was well aware that the addition of a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li would not have much of an impact on the current situation, Bradlor felt that it would not have much impact on the battle. However, as the king of the Gilded Kingdom, he was unwilling to watch helplessly as his kingdom was destroyed by the Berserk Whale Rabu. He was unwilling to give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
However, after hearing Bradlor's pleading words, Lin Li still did not intend to attack. Instead, he smiled, and said, "Haha, I've already given you the item that belongs to that big guy. You can't blame me if you don't use it."
"What?"
Hearing Lin Li's words, everyone present revealed expressions of disbelief. If you don't want to attack, just say so. What do you mean by you've already given us the item to deal with the Berserk Whale Rabu!? So many Sanctuary experts were helpless against the Berserk Whale Rabu. Could it be that an unknown object could chase the Berserk Whale Rabu away?
"Haha, stop joking. Who do you think you are? You've already given us the item. What item can deal with that Berserk Whale Rabu? Even if you're bragging, you have to have some basis, alright!?" Griner was the first to not believe Lin Li's words, and mocked him while laughing.
On the other hand, Bradlor's face was also filled with anger as he felt that Lin Li was teasing him. However, in the face of the current situation, he naturally did not want to fall out with Lin Li. Hence, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, and say, "President Felic, I don't know what you're talking about, but it seems that you haven't taken out anything that can deal with that Berserk Whale Rabu."
At this moment, Prince Monteri, who was standing at the side, suddenly said with a look of shock and bewilderment, "President Felic, are you talking about the mageweath scroll from the auction?"
What did Lin Li give them? It seemed like he didn't have anything at all. The only thing that Lin Li had taken out was the mageweath scroll that had been sold for a sky-high price of 400,000,000 gold coins at the auction. However, although the mageweath scroll had displayed considerable power at that time, could that power be enough to deal with the Berserk Whale Rabu?
However, Lin Li did not answer Prince Monteri's question, and instead looked at the battlefield in the distance. Anyway, he had already said what he needed to say. As for what they wanted to do, it was up to them.
After hearing Prince Monteri's reminder, Bradlor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned to look at the Octopus Clan. He said to Hegel, "Lord Hegel, why don't we try using President Felic's mageweath scroll? What do you think?"
After all, the Octopus Clan had spent 400,000,000 gold coins to bid for the mageweath scroll. Hence, Bradlor had no choice but to use an inquiring tone in hopes that the Octopus Clan could try using the mageweath scroll to deal with the Berserk Whale Rabu.
At this moment, Greenar burst into laughter again, and said in a disdainful tone, "Your Majesty Bradlor, you'd better not waste your energy. That's just a Master-level mageweath scroll. Even if it's at the peak of the Master-level, its power won't be enough to deal with that Berserk Whale Rabu."
At the auction, Grand Duke Wedi had once said that the mageweath scroll was only at the peak of the Master-level. Given Grand Duke Wedi's reputation, most people didn't think that he would spout nonsense. Hence, they still thought that Grand Duke Wedi should be right. Even if the power of the mageweath scroll was indeed astonishing, it was still far from being able to deal with the Berserk Whale Rabu who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.
However, the Octopus Clan's understanding of the mageweath scroll did not come from Grand Duke Wedi's introduction. They still believed in their own judgment. Hence, Great Lord Hegel took out the mageweath scroll and flew towards the battlefield in the distance with the intention of giving it a try.
Although they saw that Great Lord Hegel of the Octopus Clan was really going to try the mageweath scroll, the people who stayed behind did not think that the mageweath scroll would really be able to deal with the Berserk Whale Rabu. In particular, those who looked down on Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk in the first place, such as Young Lord Greenar of the Giant Shark Clan and the ministers of the elder families of the Gilded Kingdom.
In the myths and legends, the terrifying Berserk Whale Rabu was a little distant from the people now, and no one had experienced it firsthand. However, seeing that so many Sanctuary powerhouses could not gain any advantage in front of the Berserk Whale Rabu now, it was enough to prove that the myths and legends were not exaggerated at all. The powerful Berserk Whale Rabu could probably only be subdued by the arrival of the gods.
However, President Felic of the Tower of Dusk actually said that the mageweath scroll that was appraised as a peak Master-level mageweath scroll by Grand Duke Wedi could help the Gilded Kingdom survive this disaster. That was simply a huge joke. Anyone with a normal brain would probably not believe such a ridiculous thing. Could it be that the mageweath scroll could exert the same power as the gods?
Hence, when Great Lord Hegel of the Octopus Clan went to use the mageweath scroll, Greenar still tried to persuade Bradlor, "Your Majesty Bradlor, do you really want to pin the hopes of the kingdom on that piece of scrap paper? I think you'd better take advantage of the time when everyone is holding the Berserk Whale Rabu back to arrange for the retreat of the kingdom. You have Four Seasons Island behind you, which is the foundation of the Gilded Kingdom. You can't use this as a bet! "
"Yes, Your Majesty, you should take this opportunity to quickly arrange for the evacuation of the people on the island. Evacuate as many as you can, at least leave some hope for the kingdom!" Cantory, who had come with several ministers of the elder families, also tried to persuade Bradlor anxiously at this moment.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know the strength of the Berserk Whale Rabu, Cantory probably wouldn't have come at all, and would have long fled as far as he could. However, since he was already there, and King Bradlor was there, he couldn't escape without permission. Hence, he could only try his best to persuade Bradlor to give the order to evacuate.
When the ministers who represented the elder families heard Greenar and Cantory's suggestion, they immediately agreed, hoping that Bradlor wouldn't be so stubborn. After all, it was not just the royal family. The foundation of these elder families was also on Four Seasons Island. If the Berserk Whale Rabu really rushed to Four Seasons Island, none of the families would be able to escape, and they would only perish together with the Gilded Kingdom.
While persuading Bradlor, they did not forget to denounce Lin Li. If Lin Li hadn't said that the mageweath scroll could deal with the Berserk Whale Rabu, King Bradlor would have definitely given the order to evacuate by now. Although it was impossible to evacuate so many people in such a short period of time, it would at least allow the families to escape the danger to the greatest extent possible.
"Your Majesty, please wake up. How powerful is that Berserk Whale? How can a mageweath scroll deal with that Berserk Whale Rabu? I think that Felic is simply harming us. He's trying to delay our last chance to preserve our spark. Please think about the millions of people! " Cantory's father, the Right Minister Burgess, said to Bradlor with a sorrowful expression, looking as if he was really concerned about the safety of millions of people.
Even Caron, the Left Minister who had always been at odds with Burgess, stopped disagreeing with him at this time. After all, he had to consider his family too. Hence, Caron, who followed closely behind Burgess, also tried to persuade him anxiously. "Your Majesty, how can the fate of our country be completely in the hands of an outsider? Regardless of whether that mageweath scroll is effective or not, we should take measures as soon as possible."
It had to be said that what these people said made sense. God knew if that mageweath scroll was really effective. If it couldn't deal with that Berserk Whale Rabu, wouldn't the Gilded Kingdom have to think of a solution themselves? Hearing the persuasion of the crowd, Bradlor was also a little hesitant. Were they really going to give up on Four Seasons Island and the people who couldn't evacuate?
