After returning to the Dwarf Kingdom, the special envoy of the Dwarf Kingdom, Diason, recounted what he had seen and heard in the Tower of Dusk to the Dwarf King Odin and several important ministers.
Initially, the Dwarf Kingdom was extremely annoyed that Diason had been left out in the Tower of Dusk for more than two months, and some of the warmongers even suggested using force again. However, after hearing Diason's account, especially after hearing that the young President Felic actually had such terrifying strength, everyone immediately fell silent.
Diason was a Sanctuary powerhouse who was already a level-27 Sanctuary powerhouse, yet he was so frightened by Lin Li's gaze that he lost his composure. How powerful was that young President Felic? Everyone turned to look at the Dwarf King Odin, who was seated on the throne. Perhaps only Odin, the most powerful Dwarf Warrior, knew the answer.
However, after a long silence, the Dwarf King Odin shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice, "According to Diason, I'm afraid that President Felic's strength has already touched the edge of the godly position!"
Hearing the words of the Dwarf King Odin, the remaining hope in the hearts of the few people below was also shattered. Perhaps they would think that Diason's strength was not enough to prove anything, but no one dared to doubt Odin's judgment. The Dwarf King Odin had always been known as the most powerful warrior of the dwarves, and his strength had already reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. Hence, his words were naturally more convincing.
"Do we have no choice but to bow down to the Tower of Dusk?" someone asked indignantly.
"It's just a matter of pride. As long as we can get the construction method of the Sky-breaker, everything will be worth it," the Dwarf King Odin said quietly.
In fact, Lin Li's suggestion was relatively fair for both parties. The Dwarf Kingdom would send their craftsmen over to cooperate with the Tower of Dusk to build the Sky-breaker. The Tower of Dusk would get the Sky-breaker, and the Dwarf Kingdom would get the construction method. It was considered a win-win situation.
However, the Dwarf Kingdom was too concerned about their pride, and always thought that the Sky-breaker blueprint should belong to them. Hence, the other party should return the blueprint to them unconditionally. At most, they would give some gifts as thanks, but they couldn't be coerced into any cooperation.
But now, it seemed that the Dwarf Kingdom would suffer a great loss if they insisted on preserving their dignity. The people present were not fools, and they all knew that be it the Tower of Dusk or the mysterious young President, they could not fight against them.
After reaching such a consensus, no one mentioned using force anymore. Instead, they immediately turned to the list of craftsmen to be sent to the Tower of Dusk. After all, even if the dwarves were more straightforward, they wouldn't be willing to allow the Sky-breaker's construction method to be in the hands of a single tribe. Hence, the name list caused another round of discussion.
It took the dwarven tribes two full days to come to a conclusion. Each tribe would select a corresponding number of outstanding craftsmen according to the size and population of the tribe, and form a team to head to the Tower of Dusk for cooperation.
Among these craftsmen, there were Senior Blacksmiths and Forging Masters. They were all talents from various tribes. After all, the Dwarf Kingdom wanted to make use of this opportunity to master the construction method of the Sky-breaker. Naturally, the more outstanding the talent, the more confident they would be.
Hence, more than 20 days later, the team of craftsmen from the Dwarf Kingdom arrived at the Tower of Dusk under Diason's lead.
Although Lin Li had already entered Geresco's Meditation Land at this time, Gavin and the others had already prepared the site for the construction of the Sky-breaker as instructed. Besides, Lin Li had specially left behind a notebook that recorded some of the problems that might be encountered during the construction of the Sky-breaker.
Lin Li also had Guru-level attainments in forging. In fact, if he really had enough time, he would be able to build the Sky-breaker. However, if he wanted to build enough Sky-breakers by himself, he would have to wait a long time. Hence, he decided to cooperate with the Dwarf Kingdom.
Initially, Diason was still a little worried. After all, his kingdom's attitude was not very good at the beginning, and they even wanted to threaten the Tower of Dusk with force. Through his understanding of the Tower of Dusk and the young President of the Tower of Dusk, he knew that Lin Li was not a person who would easily suffer a loss.
However, when Diason brought his team to the Tower of Dusk, he discovered that the Tower of Dusk's hospitality was not as harsh and difficult as he had imagined. Of course, it was definitely not too boisterous. At least, compared to the treatment that the dwarven blacksmiths received in other places, the treatment given by the Tower of Dusk was obviously worse.
Fortunately, Diason had already instructed all the craftsmen in advance when he led the team over. Hence, none of the dwarven blacksmiths came out to complain. Besides, for the dwarves, as long as they had enough ale to drink, there was nothing else that they cared about. It wouldn't be a problem even if they had to sleep in a pigsty.
Without giving the dwarven craftsmen much time to rest, Gavin brought them the construction plan of the Sky-breaker the next day, and began to arrange the division of labor with the help of Diason.
Lin Li divided the construction of the Sky-breaker into several steps so that even if the dwarven blacksmiths had never built a Sky-breaker before, they could still build a real Sky-breaker as long as they followed the steps strictly. It was actually a bit like assembly line production, so it would also be of great help to increase the speed of construction.
When the plan fell into Diason's hands, the smithing master was taken aback. He could tell from the plan alone that the young President Felic's understanding of the field of forging had probably reached a rather shocking level.
At this moment, Diason remembered his investigation of the Tower of Dusk. Apart from potions, the Tower of Dusk's main business was the forging of magical weapons and equipment. Besides, the weapons and equipment produced by the Tower of Dusk were rather famous among the humans, and had even begun to occupy the market share of the Dwarf Kingdom in the weapons and equipment market.
Although standard equipment was not the main business of the Dwarf Kingdom, and a piece of Master-level equipment was often worth the income of hundreds or thousands of pieces of standard equipment, it was undeniable that the quality of the equipment produced by the Tower of Dusk was still very important to the humans. However, it was undeniable that the quality of standard equipment was still very important in measuring the level of forging. At least in terms of philosophy, the Tower of Dusk was still very good in that aspect.
Initially, Diason and the senior executives of the Dwarf Kingdom thought that the cooperation with the Tower of Dusk this time was only for the sake of obtaining the construction method of the Sky-breaker. However, Diason now vaguely felt that there seemed to be more to what he and the others could gain from this cooperation.
With the start of the construction of the Sky-breaker, the Tower of Dusk could be said to be advancing on three fronts simultaneously: the transformation of the Sky Castle, the construction of the Sky-breaker, and the large-scale construction of the battleships on the coast. In the past, even though the Tower of Dusk had a dominant position in the Breezy Plains and a huge amount of financial resources, it would probably be a little difficult to advance on three fronts at the same time.
However, with the support of the massive resources of the Endless Abyss, the forces of the Breezy Plains did not dare to be a hindrance. Hence, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, an entire year had passed since Lin Li entered the Meditation Land. In the past year, the various works of the Tower of Dusk had made considerable progress according to Lin Li's original plan.
The first was the transformation of the Sky Castle. With the support of the massive resources, the Sky Castle had undergone a complete transformation. Not only was it more suitable for human control, but it was also obviously much stronger than before. This kind of strength was not as simple as being strong in a single aspect. Instead, it was an earth-shattering change in all aspects.
In terms of the weapon system, Lin Li had installed all the more than 2,000 Magical Crystal Cannons that he had brought with him from the Gilded Kingdom, except for a few hundred for the future fleet. There were more than 1,000 Magical Crystal Cannons. Although it would be a little exaggerated to say that 10,000 cannons were fired in unison, a round of firing was still quite shocking. There was no doubt about the power of the Magical Crystal Cannons. Perhaps even a Sanctuary powerhouse would not dare to face a round of firing from thousands of cannons.
In addition to the Magical Crystal Cannons, the more powerful one was the Sky-breaker that was built in cooperation with the Dwarf Kingdom. The Sky-breaker was a weapon that could even shoot down the Sky Castle back then, and its power was not inferior to the full blow of a Sanctuary powerhouse.
If the dwarves could still have the Sky-breaker after the war at the end of the Dark Age, the situation in Anril would probably have been different.
In the past year, the dwarven craftsmen had actually built more than 20 Sky-breakers according to Lin Li's arrangements and with all their might. Even the dwarven craftsmen who had personally participated in the construction felt that this speed was unimaginable.
Through this, Diason, the special envoy of the Dwarf Kingdom, could tell that Lin Li was definitely very knowledgeable in the field of forging.
In addition, during the construction process, it was the dwarven craftsmen's first time building the Sky-breaker, after all. Hence, it was inevitable that there would be many forging problems. However, Diason only had to ask Gavin about those problems, and he could quickly get the answers, almost making him think that Gavin was the real Smithing Guru.
By chance, Diason saw that Gavin actually took out a thin notebook and flipped through it on the spot after hearing his question, and quickly gave him the best solution. Only then did he realize that there was another reason. When he probed and heard Gavin's honest answer, he finally found out that the notebook was actually written by the young President Felic.
That young President Felic was actually a Smithing Guru! After Diason heard the news, he felt like he was in an illusion.
Even in the Dwarf Kingdom, Smithing Gurus were extremely rare. Even Odin, the Dwarf King, was only at the peak of the Master-level. On the other hand, a human — a young human at that — had a smithing attainment that put the entire Dwarf Race to shame. If Diason hadn't experienced it himself, he probably wouldn't have believed it to be true.
After learning about the situation, especially the fact that there were problems that were solved by the notebook, Diason had no choice but to be convinced by Lin Li.
The Magical Crystal Cannons and Sky-breakers were just part of the weapon system of the Sky Castle. In addition, there were also a large number of mageweaths and mageweath arrays. The inscriptionists that Lin Li brought from the Octopus Clan also had notes on inscription that could be considered a treasure. They were the notes that he had written when he was studying the Divine Smith's mageweath.
In order to study the Divine Smith's mageweath left behind by the Immortal King, Lin Li had almost sorted out the theoretical knowledge of inscription from shallow to deep. The notes that the inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan had were actually only a small part of the content that Lin Li had casually written down.
However, the knowledge of inscription recorded in that small part of the content made the inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan feel as if they had obtained a treasure. In fact, when they flipped through the notes, they even had to wash their hands and flip through them carefully. It was as if they were on a pilgrimage.
It was with this notebook that Lin Li could successfully carry out the tasks that he had assigned to the inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan. While completing those tasks, the inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan could also clearly feel that their attainments in inscription had improved by leaps and bounds.
In just a year, the inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan had set up tens of thousands of mageweaths and mageweath arrays according to Lin Li's arrangements. However, the mageweath arrays were not of a particularly high level, and were basically at the advanced or Master-level.
Of course, even though the number of advanced and master-level mageweaths was shocking, they were still not worthy of the Sky Castle that Lin Li had envisioned. However, when Lin Li came out of the Meditation Land, he would be able to combine the mageweaths and mageweath arrays through the special aspects that he had mastered, and turn them into terrifying existences that were not inferior to Divine-Smith-level mageweaths.
By then, the power of the mageweaths of the Sky Castle would definitely not be inferior to that of the Magical Crystal Cannons and Sky-breaker.
The Magical Crystal Cannons and Sky-breaker belonged to the long-range offensive weapons of the Sky Castle, and the mageweaths drawn by the inscriptionists of the Octopus Clan would become the means of mid-range attacks of the Sky Castle after Lin Li combined them. That way, the Sky Castle would have the combination of long-range and mid-range attacks, and there would be no need to worry about the blind spots of the attacks.
With strong offensive power, there would also be a need for strong defensive power. Otherwise, once the Sky Castle faced a powerful enemy, it would only suffer losses. In fact, the Sky Castle might even be shot down by the enemy before it could exert its powerful offensive power. That was definitely not what Lin Li wanted.
