"Hehe …" Lin Li laughed dryly. He did not say anything. He had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether you heard it or not, he would not say anything.
What kind of joke was this? How could he admit to something like this?
It was a small matter if he admitted to it, but he was afraid that Andoine would take a liking to this formula. With his character, once he took a liking to it, he would definitely think of ways to make him teach him. Furthermore, he was a legendary powerhouse. The herbs needed for the Catalytic Potion would probably be gathered by him in a few days. What if his brain short-circuited and he wanted to play with it alone? It was a small matter if the potion lab was blown up, but it would be a huge problem if his old bones were blown up …
He would not admit it, even if he was beaten to death!
"Oh yes, Andoine, let me show you something good." Lin Li did not say anything, and Balbo could not do anything to him. He could only pull a rattan chair over and sit down. He then placed the crystal clear jade box on the table, and said with a mysterious smile on his face, "You're right.
"What is it …"
"Look …" Balbo gently opened the lid of the box, and immediately, a white mist surged out of the jade box. Then, a bone-chilling aura spread out. Even though he was in this warm little room, Lin Li could not help but shiver.
Through the white fog, Lin Li could clearly see that the interior of the jade box was filled with fine lines. Lin Li knew that this was definitely a high-level mageweath. However, the jade box was foggy, and he could not see the meaning of this mageweath at that moment.
He could only vaguely see that in the white fog, there seemed to be a little light flashing.
"This …" Lin Li frowned. That thing looked like a ring. However, he did not know why, but the magical wave emitted from the ring gave Lin Li an unusually familiar feeling.
"Andoine, I know that you are knowledgeable, and your research on the Dark Age can be said to be the authority in the Felan Kingdom. I invited you here today to help me take a look at the origin of this ring."
"Let me take a look." Andoine frowned as well. After receiving the jade box from Balbo, he stared at the ring inside in a daze. "Balbo, where did you get this from?"
"Last month, someone exchanged this with me for a batch of potions. I heard him say that he got it from a High Elves ruin. Help me take a look and see if it belongs to the High Elves."
"It should be." Andoine nodded, but there was some doubt in his eyes. "But it's strange, this ring seems to use the Elemental Seal technique …"
"What's wrong with the elemental sealing technique?"
"Balbo, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you are really ignorant. The High Elves have never used the Elemental Sealing Technique because they believe that elemental power is a free spirit that should not be restrained by any power. To the High Elves, the Elemental Sealing Technique is a blasphemy to magic."
"…"
"Wait a minute …" As Andoine said this, he suddenly chanted two incantations. Then, a halo lit up on his hand, and instantly covered the ring in the jade box. Looking through the rapidly spinning halo, one could clearly see that the ring in the jade box was changing colors with the rotation of the halo. It was as if a colorful rainbow was flashing continuously in the jade box.
The whole process repeated itself. The seven colors flashed on the ring one by one, and finally, it stopped at the original color.
"That's right …" Andoine dispersed the halo on his hand, and then said with a doubtful expression, "I just used Time Reversal to take a look. It is indeed a magical item from the Dark Age. But it's really strange. What kind of High Elf would actually think of using the Elemental Seal technique? Isn't he afraid of incurring public anger?"
"You ask me, who should I ask …"
"Let me think …"
While the two of them were talking, Lin Li suddenly heard a voice in his ear.
"Think of a way to get that ring."
"Who?" Lin Li was instantly shocked, and almost stood up with a "whoosh". But looking left and right, he could only see Andoine and Balbo. Other than these two old men, there was no one else around.
"Felic, what's wrong?" Andoine frowned.
"Nothing, I think I was bitten by a mosquito."
"Is there a mosquito?" Luckily, Andoine was just asking casually. After glancing at Lin Li, he turned back to talk to Balbo.
Lin Li looked around again, but he did not see anything. In the end, he could only sit down with some doubts. But just when his butt touched the rattan chair, that voice sounded beside his ear again. "Can you calm down a little?"
"…" Lin Li almost cursed out loud. He thought to himself, Calm your f * cking big watermelon. You appeared out of nowhere, how could anyone calm down?
Lin Li took a few deep breaths to make his expression look more natural.
"That's right …" That voice laughed again before continuing. "I'm Connoris. Can you relax? Don't be so nervous. I'm communicating with your mental strength through Soul Force. If you have anything to say, you don't have to say it out loud. Just think about it in your heart. I'm a great Soul Trader, and I'm very good at Soul Communication."
"Connoris?" Lin Li was shocked. He suddenly remembered that after returning from the Fire Plume Ridge, he had been keeping Connoris in the Ring of Endless Storm. Then, things happened one after another, and under such a freak combination of factors, he actually forgot to let this fella out.
"That's right, it's me." There seemed to be some resentment in Connoris' voice. "Speaking of which, you're too unkind. After coming out from the Eternal Furnace, you've been keeping me in that ring. Say, how long do you intend to keep me locked up?"
"It's not like I did it on purpose …" Lin Li pursed his lips, and muttered in his heart.
"But fortunately, I found a trace of your mental strength in this ring. It can help me communicate with you through Soul Communication. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'd be locked up by you."
"Alright, alright. I've neglected this matter. Respected Mr Soul Trader, I've let you down, alright?" Lin Li was really troubled by this fella's nagging. After he hurriedly admitted his mistake, he hurriedly changed the topic. "Oh, yes, what did you say just now? You want me to get that ring? "
"That's right." Connoris' voice was actually unprecedentedly solemn. "I'm telling you, you must get this ring, or else you'll never be able to restart the Eternal Furnace."
"Eternal Furnace?" Lin Li understood immediately. No wonder Andoine was so troubled. Why did this ring uncharacteristically use the Elemental Seal technique? Wasn't it all because it came from Highlord Osric? What kind of person was Osric? He was a High Elf who never followed the rules. He even dared to replicate the Sky Castle. Why would he be afraid of using a little bit of Elemental Seal technique?
"That's right. When building the Eternal Furnace, Osric created a total of two rings. One is the Brand of Dusk on your hand, and the other is the Shadow of the Night that you're looking at now. The Brand of Dusk's meaning is to open the Eternal Furnace. Only those who have the Brand of Dusk have the right to control the Eternal Furnace. And this Shadow of the Night is the core component of the Eternal Furnace. Without its power, once you open the Eternal Furnace, you'll be burnt to ashes by the magical crystal of the Fire Wyrm."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lin Li almost jumped up. This bastard Connoris was simply joking with human lives. Back when he was in the Eternal Furnace, he actually did not even mention this. Luckily, Balbo took out this ring today. Otherwise, if he wanted to build the Eternal Furnace and try to start it, wouldn't he just throw his life away?
"I forgot!"
"How dare you forget such an important thing? Are you thinking of living in the ring forever? "
"Anyway, this matter is not urgent. Building the Eternal Furnace will take at least eight to ten years. Wouldn't it be fine if I remind you when I remember it?"
"…"
Lin Li was almost driven to death by this fella.
"But since we've met today, I'll just remind you. Anyway, it's up to you. If you want to start the Eternal Furnace, think of a way to get this ring." Connoris' voice became softer and softer. Just when Lin Li thought he was going to scram, this fella suddenly said, "Oh yes, when are you going to let me out?"
"What's the hurry? Anyway, this matter is not urgent. When I remember it, I'll find time to let you out."
"You …"
"So, great Mr Soul Trader, I'll have to inconvenience you for the time being." After Lin Li finished speaking, he ignored the shouting Connoris, and directly cut off the mental connection between himself and the Ring of Endless Storm.
Without this mental connection, no matter how Connoris shouted, it had nothing to do with Lin Li.
After getting rid of Connoris, the two old men were almost done with their discussion.
Andoine was indeed an authority on the High Elves. Just from the clues on the ring, he gradually guessed that it was Osric. But, it was a pity that he did not understand Osric well enough. After all, it was only knowledge from books. In terms of familiarity, it was far from Connoris, the Soul Trader that Osric had killed personally.
So, he was still entangled by that Elemental Seal technique …
So much so that he could not get in touch with the truth.
Lin Li shook his head, but did not remind Andoine. He was only secretly thinking about how to get this ring.
"Knock, knock, knock …" But at this time, there was a sudden rush of knocking on the door.
"Come in."
"President Balbo, Elin has succeeded!" The one who pushed the door open was the pharmacist in his forties. His face was filled with joy. After he entered, he did not even bother with the most basic manners and said to Balbo joyfully, "You're here, Balbo.
"What?" Balbo stood up from the rattan chair.
