"What a joke!" Lin Li broke out in a cold sweat. The Ore Devouring Beast, which was at least level-15, had been reduced to ashes in an instant. This was comparable to the power of Legendary-level magic. Lin Li suddenly felt his legs turn to jelly when he thought about how he had passed through the same colorful light.
Lin Li stood there with cold sweat coming out of his palms. He tried his best to recall what happened at that moment … The roar of the Ore Devouring Beast, the burning fireball, the colorful light …
Yes, yes, there's also the Torrent of Elements Ring that shone with red light!
Thinking of this, Lin Li raised his hand with some doubts, and looked at the Torrent of Elements Ring on his hand with a very strange gaze. There was still a little dark red light flashing faintly, with a trace of seemingly solidified heat …
Yes, it was the Torrent of Elements Ring!
Lin Li clearly remembered that the moment he passed through the colorful light, the red light on the Torrent of Elements Ring seemed to become dazzling all of a sudden. At that moment, the colorful halo was like a shield, not only firmly protecting himself, but also protecting Sean and Argus who were beside him at the same time.
Lin Li scratched his head with a dull look on his face. The secrets of this Torrent of Elements Ring were probably much more than he had imagined.
Until now, he still remembered that when he was in the Shadowglen, the Lich had once said that this was the ring of Osric the Butcher. Later, in order to dig out the secrets of this ring, Lin Li also specially searched for relevant information in the Omniscient Tower, including Osric's life, including the massacre that shocked Anril. But, he could not find any description of this ring …
Unexpectedly, after arriving at the Fire Plume Ridge, this ring showed its magical side again.
Everyone had passed through the colorful light. The Ore Devouring Beast turned into a pile of ashes, but the three living people here were completely fine. All the signs were so obvious that even a fool could see that this completely different result was definitely related to the Torrent of Elements Ring.
As for what the relationship was, Lin Li was at a loss. All of this was too unbelievable, and all sorts of questions were tangled together like a mess. It was almost impossible to find a clue, let alone uncover the secrets one by one.
"Oh no!" Just as he was feeling puzzled, Lin Li suddenly realized a very serious problem. "How am I going back to this godforsaken place?"
The colorful light in front of him was still shining like a mirage, reflecting everything in the cave clearly. However, with the Ore Devouring Beast as an example, Lin Li would not dare to touch the Death Light again even if he was given a hundred guts. It was a place that could turn a level-15 magical beast into ashes in an instant. Although he was fine previously, who could guarantee that he would be safe again?
There was nothing wrong with joking, but joking with one's own life was a little stupid …
Lin Li hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly. He turned around and looked around, hoping to find another way.
It was only now that he had the time to take a good look at this place.
It was indeed a completely different world. It was surrounded by green grassland and gorgeous wildflowers. Further away, he could see a beautiful forest. When Lin Li looked up, he saw a few wild rabbits jumping out of the forest. It was a peaceful and harmonious scene.
Outside of this harmony and tranquility, there was a fire rising into the sky.
The green grassland and the soaring fire — these two completely different scenes blended together so harmoniously. Not only did it not taint the grassland with a trace of hostility, but it added some gorgeous colors to the surroundings.
Lin Li scratched his head. He vaguely remembered that when he was in the cave, he had seen a palace surrounded by flames through the colorful light. For a moment, Lin Li could not help but be puzzled. Could it be that the fire in the distance was where the palace was located?
"Hey! It's already daybreak, are you two still not awake? " Lin Li hesitated for a moment, and decided to go and take a look first. But before that, he had to wake up the two guys lying on the ground …
"What the hell …" Argus stood up shakily from the grassland. He looked at the forest in the distance, and then at the soaring fire. Finally, his gaze stopped on Lin Li …
All of this really made Argus cry, but he could not. He felt that no one in the Fire Plume Ridge could be more unlucky than him today. It was an easy and pleasant assassination, but he had lost his life. As a level-16 Archmage, he was beaten up by a level-10 Warrior, and then lost most of his mana. Now, he was even worse than a Magic Shooter …
"What the hell, what the hell, what the hell!" Argus was depressed to the point of madness at the thought of it.
However, he didn't dare to say anything. The two guys in front of him didn't know what sympathy was, especially the guy who came back from the dead. He was so cruel and merciless that it made people shudder. When the bolt was plunged into him just now, Argus clearly felt that if he could, the guy would definitely not hesitate to plunge the bolt into his heart.
The reason why he was kept alive was that he still had value …
"Shut up." Lin Li did not have time to care about how Argus thought of him. After glaring at the guy, he woke up Sean on the ground. "Sean, look after this guy. Don't let him run around."
"Yes!" Sean nodded, and executed Lin Li's order meticulously.
It didn't matter if he was meticulous, but Argus almost went crazy …
For the straightforward Sean, there was only one way to look after him — that was to hold Argus firmly and carry him on his shoulder like a cargo. Only in this way would he not run around. For Sean, who was nearly two meters tall and had more strength than a magical beast, this was nothing. But for Argus, it made him unable to cry even if he wanted to.
How could a level-16 Archmage be carried on someone's shoulder like a bag of goods in the future?
The three of them … or rather, two men and a bag of goods walked all the way to the place where the fire was blazing.
While crossing the green grass, Lin Li could clearly feel that as he got closer and closer to the fire, the Torrent of Elements Ring on his hand became hotter and hotter. In the end, it really felt like it was being roasted by fire.
This strange feeling made Lin Li more and more puzzled …
From the Sunset Mountains to the Shadowglen, and from the Shadowglen to the Fire Plume Ridge, the Torrent of Elements Ring was becoming more and more bizarre. In the beginning, it only created an elemental passage and allowed him to win the duel in the Daylight Square. But then, in the Shadowglen, the Lich shouted that it was the Butcher's ring. When they reached the Fire Plume Ridge, the ring became even more restless. There was a strange aura from top to bottom.
"This, this, this … Could this be the legendary Flaming Mountain?" When the three of them crossed the green grass and stood in front of the raging fire, Lin Li was dumbfounded.
The green grass extended from his feet all the way to the distant horizon. Lin Li looked up, and saw a ball of fire burning in the sky. It was as if it was an infinitely close sun. The blazing heat and powerful magical waves were emanating from the ball of fire.
A huge building was floating quietly in the sky.
"F * ck …"
Lin Li rubbed his eyes fiercely. He felt that he must be seeing things …
Nothing had changed. The fire was still burning, and the huge building was still floating quietly. This was really a floating building.
This sudden discovery made Lin Li dumbfounded.
The gorgeous and luxurious architectural style was definitely the unique atmosphere of the Dark Age. If he remembered correctly, this was probably the legendary Sky Castle — the pinnacle of the High Elves' architectural art!
At the end of the distant Dark Age, the entire High Elves fell into madness. Almost all the High Elves thought that they were the most perfect creatures and living gods. In the legend of the High Elves, the palaces of the gods were above the distant sky.
Therefore, they used their magic civilization that had developed to its peak to create seven floating cities.
These seven Sky Castles represented the four major elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, and the three camps of light, darkness, and chaos. In the legend of the High Elves, the world was composed of these seven rules. Even in the eyes of today, these seven Sky Castles could be said to be a real miracle. The extreme extension of imagination, the perfect combination of architectural art and magic art, created these seven unprecedented miracles.
Unfortunately, the war that followed destroyed everything.
Six of the seven Sky Castles had fallen, and the only one that had not been breached had also escaped into the cracks of time and space with the last warriors of the High Elves in the final battle. There had been no news of it for 1,200 years.
The experience of this day had far exceeded the scope of Lin Li's understanding. Even if he had the ability to predict the future, he would probably never have thought that he would see such a terrifying thing after a disaster …
Of course, this was not a real Sky Castle.
Compared to the real Sky Castle, this building in front of him was at most the tip of the iceberg. The seven almost invincible battle fortresses were far larger than this building in front of him. In the distant Dark Age, the Sky Castle was also known as the "Impregnable City". With the support of the magic civilization that developed to the peak, a Sky Castle could even destroy a country.
1,200 years had passed, and most of the truth had been lost in the long river of time. However, various signs showed that although the allied forces had won the war, they had probably used some underhanded means when fighting against the seven Sky Castles …
However, one thing was certain, and that was that the building in front of him was essentially no different from the Sky Castles. It was also powered by elemental power, and built with magical materials.
The blazing fire was the source of power for this palace. Judging from the blood-red color, the main material of this building was probably the Infernal Magic Iron that Lin Li had been dreaming of. If Lin Li remembered correctly, the dazzling glass on the roof that looked like dragon scales was most likely polished from Sun Crystals of the same size …
This extravagant architectural style made Lin Li go crazy just thinking about it …
Be it the Infernal Magic Iron or the Sun Crystals, they were both extremely precious magical materials. However, they were used as building materials here. If the materials used to build such a huge palace were to be converted into gold coins, it would probably be enough to buy a city.
In Lin Li's opinion, luxurious was no longer enough to describe it …
"What the hell …" Argus, who was lying on Sean's shoulder, stared blankly. His face was filled with a dull look.
Although Argus looked like neither a human nor a ghost now, he was once a level-16 Great Mage. How could he not know something that even Lin Li knew? He probably knew better than Lin Li what a palace floating in the sky meant.
Among the three of them, Sean was probably the only one who could remain calm, because he had no concept of magical materials at all, let alone what a Sky Castle was. In his eyes, it was probably just a strange building, probably similar to the Emerald Tower in Jarrosus City …
When Lin Li stood there, the Torrent of Elements Ring on his hand was burning hot. Lin Li even felt that the strange ring was struggling desperately, trying to get rid of his control and rush to the blazing fire in the sky. When Lin Li clenched his fist, he could even faintly hear a voice in his heart urging him, "Go up, go up!"
"Sean, take off your leather armor and give it to me." Lin Li gritted his teeth fiercely. He decided to go up and take a look no matter what. In the face of such a palace, if he did not go up and take a look, he was afraid that he would be tortured to death by curiosity in the future.
"Oh!" Sean did not ask anything, and directly took off the leather armor, revealing a body of tangled muscles.
After handing the leather armor to Lin Li, Sean still wanted to take off the gloves, but was stopped by Lin Li. "No gloves, a leather armor is enough."
Lin Li took the leather armor and put it on his back, just covering the place that had been torn by the Ore Devouring Beast just now.
The four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind could all provide the power for the operation of the Sky Castle. The magnificent palace in front of him was obviously powered by the fire element. This was the crystallization of the High Elves' civilization, and the magic power contained in it was far from what ordinary people could bear.
Fortunately, Lin Li was wearing the Fire Salamandrid leather armor. As long as it could cover the place torn by the Ore Devouring Beast, he could dive even if he jumped into the magma.
After putting the leather armor on his body, Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and took out half of the broken black lotus with some heartache.
As soon as he saw this half of the broken black lotus, Lin Li could not help but glare at Argus. The bitter and hateful gaze immediately made Argus' hair stand on end, but he still could not understand why this cruel and merciless guy was looking at him with such a perverted gaze …
