Almost at the same time, a silver light pierced through the sky, and an arrow full of Divine Power plunged into the space between the two spots of phosphorescence with unerring accuracy …
"No!" The Necromancer's screams were filled with despair. Powerful Divine Power burst out, and in an instant, silver flames rose.
The Lich's body melted like snow under the sun in this silver flame. As the silver flame burned brighter and brighter, the Lich's scream became fainter and fainter, and in the end, it finally turned into a pile of ashes …
The black mist dissipated in an instant, and the sky turned blue again. With the death of Bhaskar, everything returned to peace.
"Phew …" Lin Li stood at the place where Bhaskar died, and after taking a deep breath, he bent down and gently pulled out the arrow from the ashes.
Its name was Sun's Spike, and it was one of Lin Li's most failed investments.
Why was it one of them?
Because in addition to the Sun's Spike, there was another Void's Spike. The two arrows, one of Light and one of Darkness, cost Lin Li a total of 200,000 gold coins.
When he was in the Endless World, Lin Li spent a lot of effort to get these two arrows. Who knew that not long after he got them, the Hunter would get the Stars of Fury. In addition to its amazing power, this mythical weapon also had seven arrows made of meteorite fragments, each of which contained unparalleled power.
With the seven meteorite fragments in hand, the two Sun's Spikes and the Void's Spike were naturally useless. The weapons bought with 200,000 gold coins could only be left idle in the Ring of Endless Storm. For a long time after that, Lin Li could not lift his head up because of this matter. Whenever he mentioned it, he would call it his two most failed investments.
At that time, he probably would not have thought that these two most failed investments would suddenly explode in another world, and kill Bhaskar, whom even the Death Sentence could not destroy, in one fell swoop.
Lin Li put the Sun's Spike into the Ring of Endless Storm, looked at the ashes on the ground, and said inexplicably, "You died a worthy death …"
After saying this sentence that even he himself found inexplicable, Lin Li was about to leave when he suddenly found that there seemed to be a thick black mist surging out of the pile of ashes.
"F * ck!"
With his previous experiences, Lin Li did not hesitate this time. He took out the strange crystal from his pocket, and saw the thick black fog flowing into the crystal as though it was attracted by some force …
With the continuous influx of the black fog, the crystal in his hand started to heat up, just like when he first entered the Shadowglen!
"I understand, I understand …" This time, he really understood.
Lin Li was even certain that one of the many mageweaths engraved on the crystal was used to absorb the Power of Death. After the Power of Death was absorbed, a portion of it would definitely be converted into mana to maintain the normal operation of the massive mageweath array, while the other portion would be stored. When the power accumulated to the limit, it would be able to activate the creatures sealed inside.
It was just like that night, when he was facing the high-ranking vampire, the Nightmare suddenly appeared.
Of course …
All of this was just Lin Li's guess. He had to wait until he thoroughly studied the mageweath array before he could figure out what secrets were hidden in the crystal.
Even with Lin Li's abilities as a Guru of Inscription, it was not an easy task to study the mageweath array thoroughly. It was an extremely complicated project, and Lin Li needed a lot of time to understand and analyze it. The Shadowglen was obviously not a suitable place for research.
Lin Li shook his head helplessly, and threw the crystal that had turned dark red into his pocket. Then, he slowly walked back to the cave.
When he returned to the cave, almost everyone looked at him as though they were looking at a dinosaur.
He really could not blame them for making a fuss about it. Who asked him to be so perverted? They thought about what he had done just now. First, he used the Torrent of Elements to absorb the Death Sentence, and then released it in an instant to severely injure the powerful Lich.
And after doing all that, he did not stop. He took out a crossbow and released a huge amount of Divine Power …
After doing such a heartless thing, he could not blame others for looking at him like he was a dinosaur …
When the Lich turned into ashes, almost everyone wanted to strangle his neck and ask, "Do you dare to be more perverted?"
Alright, he did not dare to …
The following day could be said to be peaceful. Not to mention a powerful Undead creature like the Lich, even the Skeletal Warriors did not have the chance to appear in front of everyone. Naturally, Lin Li did not have the chance to be perverted.
That night, Kayla and the rest were not chased out of the cave. Lin Li's explanation was that they had performed well during the day, and this was considered a reward.
If it was in the past, Fedrick would most likely have flown into a rage. However, after the battle during the day, he even had the heart to go crazy. How would he have the guts to do so? After nightfall, Fedrick found a corner and spread out a blanket. For safety reasons, he specially asked Sarsen to help him set up a Barrier of Concealment before he slept. He was afraid that snoring in the middle of the night would bring disaster to himself …
On the evening of the second day, this trial mission that had lasted for seven days finally came to an end.
When the melodious bell rang in the sky above the Shadowglen, Kayla and the rest could not wait to take out their Teleportation Scrolls. No one was willing to stay in a godforsaken place like the Shadowglen, not to mention staying in the same cave with a temperamental pervert …
…
Just when Lin Li recovered from the dizziness caused by the teleportation, he saw Macklin's dry old face.
"You rascals, hurry up and go take a bath. Are you trying to stink me to death …" The old man scolded them, but the joy in his tone could not be concealed.
No matter what, he was still a trial mentor. His disciples had stayed in the Shadowglen for seven days and completed the trial mission with near-perfect results. It would be a lie to say that he was not happy. In fact, although the old man was scolding them, he was already overjoyed in his heart. These rascals had really lived up to his expectations. Macklin knew better than anyone else how dangerous the Shadowglen was. Even he did not expect that these rascals could really stay for seven days …
"Damn it, let's see what that idiot Darian has to say …" Macklin scolded again as he looked at the backs of the three leaving.
In the past few days, he had been annoyed to death by Darian.
Darian was also a talent. When Lin Li and the rest completed the trial mission in the Shadowglen, he came to Macklin every day, and repeatedly persuaded Macklin to deal with the Jarrosus mage who had hurt his nephew.
Macklin really did not understand why he was in such good spirits.
In the past seven days, Darian had been reporting at a fixed time. Every day after lunch, this fellow would appear in his tent on time. First, he would scold Gerian, who was far away in Jarrosus, about how impolite, how arrogant, how arrogant, how cruel. In short, as long as it was adjectives that could slander Gerian, he would use them all on the fat man …
Then it was Felic's turn …
Every time this matter was brought up, Darian would have a miserable look on his face. He would desperately accuse the country mage from Jarrosus of how despicable he was, and how perverted the means he had used to harm his nephew. He would also say that although his nephew had not contributed much to the Guild of Magic in the past few years, he had been diligent after all. It was really pitiful that no one would stand up for him when he was seriously injured like that …
"F * ck …" Macklin was really infuriated at the thought of this. He really wanted to strangle Darian's neck and ask, "Are you f * cking annoying?"
Unfortunately, Darian was an Archmage after all, and was considered an important member in the Alanna Guild of Magic. No matter how unhappy Macklin was, he still had to give him some face on the surface.
Macklin had really had enough these days. The daily verbal bombardment had made him nervous. He swore that when this trial was over, he would find a way to transfer the idiot Darian to a remote mountainous area where even birds wouldn't shit. If possible, it would be best if it was the nest of the Ogres, so that he could never appear in Alanna again for the rest of his life.
But now, these three kids had completed the trial mission of the Supreme Council. From today onwards, they were the young mages that the Supreme Council focused on. Damn it, Darian, if you have the ability, go and find trouble with the Supreme Council. What's the use of pestering me every day …
I'd like to see if the people of the Supreme Council are as cultured as I am … The old fellow thought shamelessly.
…
"Good evening, Mr Macklin." Lin Li and the others took a comfortable hot bath and changed into clean mage robes. At this time, all of them looked refreshed.
"How was it? Did you encounter any big trouble in the Shadowglen this time?" Macklin was in a good mood after getting rid of Darian, who was a big problem. At this time, he actually cared about his disciples, which was rare.
"…" Mason swallowed his saliva. He actually wanted to ask Macklin if a level-18 Vampire and a Lich that was at least level-16 was considered too much trouble …
"I didn't encounter too much trouble …" Lin Li nodded, and smiled with a relaxed face. "But I saw two groups of Undead fighting. I don't know what's going on."
"F * ck!"
Macklin was shocked. He hurriedly called the three into his tent, and looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then, he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you really see two groups of Undead fighting?"
"Yes, it was really wonderful!" Without waiting for Lin Li to speak, Mason had already started talking with great enthusiasm. From the tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors to the large number of high-level Undead creatures surging out of the depths of the Shadowglen. This guy had always liked to exaggerate. He could even make a sesame seed look like a watermelon. Not to mention that the Undead War was huge to begin with. Now that he was talking about it, it was like the end of the world. Even a knowledgeable person like Macklin was shocked by him.
"Damn it, you guys are really lucky …" After listening, Macklin was stunned for a long time before he sighed with some emotion. "Do you know why those Undead were fighting?"
Mason was stunned. "Could it be a crime of passion?"
"…" Macklin almost slapped him on the head. Undead creature, my ass. Why don't you kill one for me to see …
"Is there someone secretly manipulating it?" Lin Li asked tentatively.
"That's half right." Macklin nodded, and then continued, "They were not manipulated by someone, but by two extremely powerful Undead creatures. One of them is a level-22 Lich, and the other is a level-22 Skeletal Lord. I don't know why these two guys have been fighting non-stop since the Dark Age. Almost every once in a while, they would launch a large-scale Undead War."
"Are you serious? Two level-20 Undead creatures?" Lin Li exclaimed in shock.
"Do you know how powerful they are? That's why I said that you guys are really lucky to be able to come back alive after getting involved in such a battle … "
Hearing Macklin's words, the three of them broke out in cold sweat.
Mason and Orrin were extremely glad that they were in the same group as Felic. If not for his bottle of Petrifying Potion, they might have been captured by a group of Undead creatures and offered to the two extremely powerful Undead Lords.
"Alright, that's enough nonsense. Now, let's talk business."
"What business?"
"You guys did pretty well this time." Macklin's wretched face revealed a rare hint of appreciation. "There were a total of 24 trial mages who participated in the trial, but only 13 of them completed the trial, and you guys accounted for three of them. Before you set off, I told you that the trial mission this time was decided by the Supreme Council. That is to say … the reward for completing the mission will also be issued by the Supreme Council."
"Reward?" Mason's eyes lit up immediately.
"Yes, reward!" The old man was in a good mood. His disciple had received a reward from the Supreme Council, and as the trial mentor, he was naturally proud.
"Heh heh, Mr Macklin, can you tell us in advance what kind of reward the Supreme Council will give us?"
"I can't."
"F * ck …"
"However, I can reveal in advance the reward that the Alanna Guild of Magic will give you …" The old man finished with a smile, and lowered his voice. "Congratulations, in the next two months, you can freely enter and exit the Omniscient Tower!"
"Really?" Not to mention Mason, even Orrin and Lin Li's eyes lit up. What kind of place was the Omniscient Tower? It was the largest library in the entire Felan Kingdom. For mages, the Omniscient Tower was a magic treasure trove. Most of the spells circulating in Anril could be found in it.
Moreover, every mage who had entered the Omniscient Tower would leave a reading note in it. To some extent, this reading note was equivalent to a mage's lifetime of research. This was no joke. No matter how lousy a mage was, after decades of research, they would more or less know some unique skills. These skills were simply the most precious gifts in the world for mages.
What's more, which mage who could enter the Omniscient Tower would be a weakling?
For the mages of the Felan Kingdom, the Omniscient Tower was a real magic holy land.
Even Lin Li could not help but be excited at the thought of being able to enter the Omniscient Tower.
Forget about the lost spells, those reading notes were the real precious things to him. After all, his exposure to magic was too short. Although he had laid a solid enough foundation under Andoine's guidance, he did not have the time to master some unique casting skills. If he could enter the Omniscient Tower, his strength could at least be raised to another level …
Lin Li thought for a while, and asked doubtfully, "By the way, Mr Macklin, if we enter the Omniscient Tower to study, will we still have time to complete the next trial mission?"
"Trial mission?" Macklin scolded angrily. "What other trial mission is there? You have even completed the mission issued by the Supreme Council. Do you think I will let you stay in the Shadowglen for another month? "
"Then …"
"There are no more trial missions." This time, Macklin was very straightforward. "In the next two months, you can stay in the Omniscient Tower to study every day until the finals. Then … you can go back to your guilds."
"That's not bad …"
"Alright, we're done with business. You guys, hurry up and pack up, and follow me back to Alanna."
…
The four of them returned to the Alanna Guild of Magic in the bumpy carriage.
"By the way, Felic, wait a moment. I have something to tell you." After walking into the guild hall, Macklin stopped Lin Li again.
"Mr Macklin, what's the matter?"
"This …" After the old man stopped Lin Li, he rubbed his hands awkwardly, as if he did not know what to say.
"Mr Macklin, is it about magical weapons?" Lin Li knew what the old man wanted to say as soon as he saw his expression. This old man must still be worried, and wanted him to give him some assurance. But he was afraid of saying it and making Lin Li angry, so he was being coy like a sissy …
"Yes, yes, yes …"
"Do you want me to play a round now?"
"Yes, yes, yes …" The old man nodded again.
"Sure."
Lin Li's straightforward answer was completely out of Macklin's expectations. The old man was dumbfounded for a long time before he suddenly understood. His old face was immediately filled with a flattering smile. "That's great, that's great. I knew you were kind. Let's go, let's talk slowly in the forging room …"
Macklin heaved a long sigh of relief as he led Lin Li out of the guild hall. To be honest, he was really afraid that Lin Li would not agree just now. He was even more afraid that his words would provoke Lin Li. Although Macklin's words were tactful, the worry in them was unmistakable.
Macklin had lived for a long time. How could he not understand that anyone with a bit of ability would inevitably have a strange temper, especially in the field that he was good at? He could not tolerate the slightest doubt. Just like this kid in front of him. He seemed to be easy to talk to, but Macklin knew very well that this guy's temper was actually worse than anyone else's. What if he said something inappropriate and angered him?
Fortunately, this brat is very reasonable today ….
Thinking of this, the old man could not help but wipe his cold sweat.
Lin Li did not say anything, and followed Macklin out of the guild hall.
He could understand Macklin's feelings. After all, this was a matter of betting on the future of the guild. No matter how much the old man trusted Lin Li, it was reasonable for him to be a little worried. Lin Li would not find it too troublesome to use a magical weapon to reassure him. Moreover, he had just gotten two fangs and a magical crystal. He might as well take this opportunity to use them …
