"Huh? What?" Great Lord Hegel was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted to what Lin Li was talking about.
Could it be that Lin Li doesn't want to give us some pointers on inscription? Hegel's first reaction was that Lin Li was unwilling to give them pointers. Otherwise, why would Lin Li say that he was going to the Tower of Dusk without even asking a single question?
However, immediately afterwards, Hegel remembered Lin Li's words, and immediately looked at the wall that had been drawn with mageweaths. There was a mageweath that he had never seen before on the wall, and it looked rather complicated. Although it had yet to be activated, he could tell that it was at least at the Guru-level.
Hegel initially wanted to take a look at what was going on before responding to Lin Li's words. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he looked at the wall, he seemed to have been frozen in place, and couldn't bear to blink at all.
Below, the powerhouses of inscription of the Octopus Clan were all staring at the mageweath that Lin Li had left on the wall with their eyes wide open, just like Hegel. The entire hall fell silent.
Elder Zumar did not have a deep understanding of inscription, so he couldn't understand the reaction of the people of the Octopus Clan. He only knew that the exchange of inscription seemed to have ended before it even began. He hurriedly got up, chased after Lin Li, and asked worriedly, "President Felic, is this appropriate?"
Elder Zumar was afraid that Lin Li would offend the Octopus Clan again. Before coming here, Saint Edmund had already instructed the Illuminati to stand firmly on Lin Li's side no matter what happened. However, the Octopus Clan was not the Giant Shark Clan, after all, and the cooperation between the Illuminati and the Octopus Clan was much deeper. If Lin Li fell out with the Octopus Clan, the Illuminati would definitely suffer a huge loss of benefits.
Hearing Elder Zumar's worried question, Lin Li smiled faintly, and waved his hand. "Don't worry, Elder Zumar. They need an answer, so I'll give it to them. They can go inside and look for it themselves. What else is there to worry about?"
Despite Lin Li's words, Elder Zumar's worries did not ease at all, and he could only watch the reactions of the people of the Octopus Clan nervously. However, what he was worried about did not happen. Not only did none of the people of the Octopus Clan jump out to accuse Lin Li, they even stared at the mageweath on the wall in a daze, as if nothing around them could affect them.
However, Lin Li did not have that much patience to wait for Hegel to wake up on his own. Hence, he raised his voice slightly and used his mental strength to speak. "Lord Hegel, the mageweath is right there. You can study it anytime you want. Why don't you settle my matter first!?"
If he were to simply shout, he probably wouldn't be able to wake Heigel up. Fortunately, Lin Li also used his mental strength to shake Heigel out of his trance. The Great Lord Heigel, who had woken up, looked at Lin Li excitedly, and said, "Master Felic, thank you so much. You've left the Octopus Clan a treasure of inscription that can be passed down through the ages!"
The Great Lord Heigel couldn't help but be excited. Although he had only studied the mageweath for a short while, he could tell how precious the unknown mageweath was with his attainments in inscription. Although he did not know what the mageweath's name was or what kind of power it had, he could tell that it actually contained almost all the theories of inscription from shallow to deep.
As long as the mageweath existed, even an apprentice of inscription would be able to follow the guidance of the mageweath all the way to the realm of a Guru of Inscription. As for whether he could reach the level of a Divine Smith, Heigel could not make a judgment based on his current level, but as long as he took the right path, it would definitely not be as difficult as before.
Faced with the agitated Great Lord Heigel, Lin Li did not show any special expression, and instead asked the same question. "Great Lord, since your problem has been solved, shouldn't we talk about mine?"
"Yes, yes, I'm getting too excited. Master Felic, please rest assured. Give me three days, and I'll definitely find the most talented inscriptionists for you," said the Great Lord Heigel who was now completely at ease. Based on the mageweath that Lin Li had drawn on the wall, he was certain that his people would definitely be able to make great gains in the field of inscription by following Lin Li.
In fact, according to Lin Li's requirements, there was no need to find talented people at all. As long as they were middle-level and high-level inscriptionists, they would definitely be able to take on the task that he was about to assign to them. However, the Great Lord Heigel could not be so hasty. After all, in their opinion, it was the best opportunity to learn from Lin Li, a Guru of Inscription.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the Great Lord of the Octopus Clan, Heigel would have even wanted to follow Lin Li to the Tower of Dusk. Of course, even if he couldn't go himself, he had already made up his mind to send his son, Harquess, to the Tower of Dusk.
Given Lin Li's requirements for inscriptionists, he would definitely be able to gather the team of inscriptionists he wanted within three minutes, let alone three days. However, that matter was rather troublesome for the Octopus Clan. On one hand, Heigel had to consider the talent of the candidates. After all, those who were too untalented would only be wasting the opportunity. On the other hand, he had to consider the distribution of benefits.
Just like how Heigel wanted to send his son to the Tower of Dusk, how could the others not know the benefits? Everyone had descendants, and everyone hoped that their descendants could become talents. In that case, the 20 to 30 slots would be highly sought after, and Heigel had to make a more comprehensive consideration lest there be a rift between them because of such a good thing.
"Okay, two days. According to my plan, I can only stay here for two days at most. I hope you can choose them as soon as possible, Great Lord Heigel." Lin Li also knew that the Great Lord Heigel would definitely have more to consider, so he did not urge him too much.
Seeing that Lin Li was not displeased, the Great Lord Heigel nodded repeatedly, and said, "Okay, okay, two days will do."
Everyone in the hall had already been immersed in the study of the mageweath, and Lin Li naturally did not want to face dozens of wooden stumps there. Hence, after hearing the Great Lord Heigel's agreement, he said, "Okay, there's nothing else here. You guys get back to work, I'll take a walk around the city."
"Okay, how about this, I'll get Harquess to accompany you." Heigel called his son over, and instructed him to accompany Lin Li to take a tour in the city and entertain the most important guest of the Octopus Clan on his behalf.
Although he was also fascinated by the mageweath on the wall, Harquess dared not disobey his father, and thus hurriedly brought Lin Li out of the hall enthusiastically. Fortunately, after that apology, Harquess no longer had a knot in his heart, and seemed much more relaxed when he was with Lin Li.
In the past two days, Lin Li, accompanied by Harquess, walked around Lantis City, and collected some things that were rarely seen.
Besides, Harquess did a good job of entertaining Lin Li, and after spending two days with him, he felt that Lin Li did not seem to be as unbearable as his good friend Cantory had described him to be. Hence, he couldn't help but have some doubts about Cantory.
Of course, the Great Lord Heigel did not leave Lin Li to Harquess. He also held a banquet of a large scale, but in the end, he discovered that Lin Li was not interested in the banquet at all.
In the past two days, many of the senior executives of the Octopus Clan were really fighting for a chance for their juniors to learn from Lin Li. In fact, their arguments could be heard almost all the time in the hall of the Colorful Conches. In order to coordinate these issues, the Great Lord Heigel was really overwhelmed. After all, the slot was too precious in their eyes.
Two days later, the Great Lord Heigel finally selected all the candidates. Lin Li said he wanted 20 to 30, but he chose the maximum limit, and directly picked 30 intermediate and high-level Inscriptionists. Of course, the inscriptionists were not all sons of nobles, and there was no lack of famous geniuses in the Octopus Clan.
Although the Octopus Clan had gone through a lot of trouble to choose, Lin Li did not consider them carefully at all after he saw them. Anyway, to him, he just wanted 20 to 30 inscriptionists who could be his assistants, and talent had nothing to do with him at all.
"Master Felic, look at these young people. They meet your requirements, don't they?" Heigel asked Lin Li cautiously after leading him to see those people.
Lin Li simply glanced at them briefly before nodding, and saying, "Okay, these people will do."
Seeing that Lin Li nodded so readily, the Great Lord Heigel also felt a little relieved. He then said with some awkwardness, "Master Felic, these people are the best of the younger generation in our clan, and it's inevitable that they've developed a prideful temperament. In order to make them listen to your instructions better, I plan to let my son, Harquess, help you keep an eye on them. What do you think? "
Heigel initially planned to let his son, Harquess, take up one of the spots, but the competition for the 30 spots really gave him a headache. Hence, he came up with such a solution. Speaking of which, Harquess didn't take up a spot, but he actually got the opportunity to learn from Lin Li.
Lin Li naturally saw through Heigel's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't mind. It was just one more person, and there was nothing to be bothered about.
Since they had already toured Lantis City, and there was already a team of inscriptionists, Lin Li didn't want to waste any more time. Hence, he immediately bade farewell to the Great Lord Heigel.
The Great Lord Heigel tried to persuade Lin Li to stay, but seeing that he couldn't change his mind, he had no choice but to say regretfully, "Master Felic, since you still have things to do, I won't force you. I'll leave these young people to you, including Harquess. If anyone doesn't listen to your instructions, you can deal with them however you want. I hope that you can visit us again when you have time in the future. The Octopus Clan will always regard you as our most important friend. "
Finally, with Harquess and the other inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan, The Star slowly sailed out of the port of Tideview Island while being sent off by Heigel and the senior executives of the Octopus Clan, and quickly headed towards the sea demons' territory.
As soon as they arrived at the border of the sea demons' territory, the sea demons had already received the news, and sent a team to welcome Lin Li and the others. Under the leadership of Prince Clive, 16 massive beluga whales carried many of the high-level members of the Sea Demon Clan, and met Lin Li's ship on The Star.
Prince Clive came down from the back of a single-horned beluga whale, and saw Lin Li, Elder Zumar, Harquess, and the other inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan.
Seeing Harquess and the others appearing on The Star, Prince Clive couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect the Octopus Clan to value Lin Li so much that they even sent Harquess to Lin Li's side. Harquess was the young lord of the Octopus Clan, and was going to inherit the position of the great lord of the Octopus Clan in the future. Hence, his importance to the Octopus Clan was incomparable to that of ordinary clansmen.
Initially, Prince Clive invited Lin Li to draw the mageweath that was compatible with the Heart of All Evil because he felt that Lin Li's attainments in inscription should not be inferior to the inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan that he could invite. After all, the truly powerful Gurus of Inscription of the Octopus Clan could not be easily invited. Lin Li had already proven his Guru-level inscription through the Taishan Mageweath scroll.
However, Prince Clive didn't expect Lin Li's attainments in inscription to be able to make the entire Octopus Clan bow down to him. It was only after Elder Zumar hinted at him and the explanation of Harquess and the others that he realized how wise his decision was.
The underwater capital of the sea demons was called Star-Moon City. Although it was not as powerful as Lantis City of the Octopus Clan, the environment of the entire city and even the entire sea was definitely unparalleled in the Endless Ocean.
Lin Li walked all the way to Star-Moon City under the guidance of Prince Clive. The beautiful scenery that he saw along the way made him realize why the sea demons were called the elves of the sea. Not to mention the scenery under the sea, even the islands on the surface of the sea were full of natural beauty that was probably even better than the Emerald Forest of the elves.
In Star-Moon City, Lin Li was warmly welcomed by the sea demons. Compared to the weird appearances of the Octopus Clan, the beautiful sea demon females were a feast for his eyes. The Queen of the Sea Demons, Harilya, even attended the banquet to welcome Lin Li personally to express the goodwill of the sea demons.
Although Lin Li didn't think much of it, Elder Zumar, who followed him there, was shocked by the enthusiasm of the sea demons.
