"Hehe …" Lin Li only laughed, and did not say anything.
"Oh … I understand, I understand …" But Moke was not stupid, after all. After being stunned for a while, he came to his senses. His question was really not up to standard. To an ordinary Inscriber, this was indeed a problem that was almost unsolvable. But who was this President Felic in front of him? This was an inscription monster that had mastered the mageweath array, and created the All-Kill in All Directions Inscription!
So what if the Countercurrent mageweath had an impact on mana? The other party could at least come up with dozens of perfect solutions!
"Thank you." After saying this, Moke bowed deeply, and bowed to Lin Li.
"You're welcome." Lin Li still only smiled, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with accepting Moke's bow. It was because Lin Li knew that Moke was not bowing to him, but was paying respect to knowledge.
Then, Moke turned around and left the tower …
"Guys, how about going to other places to take a look?"
"Of course …" Everything that had happened today was too unbelievable. Even now, the few engineers still had a look of disbelief on their faces. As members of the Supreme Council, they naturally knew Moke's character better than anyone else. This was a person who would not easily lower his head. Even in the Supreme Council, where the strong were as numerous as the clouds, there were very few people who could make Moke completely submit to them. Unless it was the attainments in Inscription that made him submit wholeheartedly, it would be very difficult for them to truly gain his respect even if they were a hundred times stronger than him.
Without a doubt, this young guild president was someone who could make Moke submit wholeheartedly in terms of attainments in Inscription …
But, how could he be so young?
The door of the secret chamber closed once again, and hid the light of the All-Kill in the darkness. The gloomy basement seemed to have returned to its original state, and everything seemed to be the same. But, be it Herza or the few engineers, they all knew that this was not what it looked like. Under this dim yellow light, in this turbid air, there was a hidden force that made people tremble …
Everyone went up the stairs, and quickly returned to the guild hall. The morning sunlight shone through the main door of the tower, and the crystal ball refracted it into a colorful halo. Lin Li stood quietly in the middle of the guild hall, and slightly raised his head. He squinted his eyes, and sized up this tower that he and the Supreme Council had built together.
Indeed, it had been a few months since the start of construction of the tower, and Lin Li had indeed only been here a few times. But, this did not mean that Lin Li was unfamiliar with the tower. On the contrary, Lin Li was very familiar with this place. Every key place here was personally designed by Lin Li, such as the basement that was used to store the mana source. In order to provide enough mana for the tower, Lin Li had even used the magical crystal of the Salamander. That was a Legendary-level magical crystal. Back in the Fire Plume Ridge, Lin Li had forcefully snatched it away from the eyes of the Sword Sage of the Storm …
Fortunately, all of this was done in secret. Otherwise, if other mages knew that this fella had used a Legendary magical crystal as the mana source, they would probably go crazy on the spot. Legendary magical crystals were priceless treasures, and this was not an exaggeration at all. For example, if two magical crystals suddenly appeared on the market, and one was level-19 and the other level-20, the price of the level-20 magical crystal would be at least a thousand times more than the level-19 magical crystal!
Magical crystals above level-20 were too rare. It could not be helped, as there were only so many Legendary powerhouses in Riril, and even Legendary powerhouses might not be able to hunt for Legendary magical crystals. Both Legendary magical beasts and Legendary powerhouses were at the Legendary-level. When it came to a real battle of life and death, who would dare to say that they would definitely win? Thinking back to the time in the Fire Plume Ridge, the level-21 Sword Sage of the Storm and thousands of adventurers from several large mercenary corps were still forced into a corner by the Salamander. If not for Lin Li's sudden intervention, it was hard to say who would have survived in the end …
However, the power that the Legendary magical crystal had was indeed worthy of its price.
Any Legendary magical crystal had almost infinite mana. For mages, it was truly an inexhaustible treasure trove of mana. Gerian had once said that if he had a Legendary magical crystal, he would never meditate again for the rest of his life.
Gerian's words were not an exaggeration. The mana contained in the Legendary magical crystal was enough for any Archmage to not have to worry about mana for the rest of his life. Furthermore, this mana could be regenerated …
The Legendary magical crystal came from the world's most powerful magical beasts. It was the continuation of their lives and the inheritance of their souls. To a certain extent, the Legendary magical crystal itself had its own life and soul. They were completely different from ordinary magical crystals. They could even use meditation to transform the ubiquitous magical elements into mana like a real mage!
And this was the true reason why the Legendary magical crystal was so precious.
With such an insane mana source, the mana in the tower would definitely be incomparably abundant.
But, wouldn't it be a little too abundant?
To be honest, Lin Li had a headache for quite a while because of this. Fortunately, it did not take long for him to come up with a solution. He added some more interesting designs into the tower …
"Oh, yes, President Felic, this is …" Herza suddenly stopped when they reached the fourth floor. The fourth floor was indeed a little strange. The second and third floors only had some daily facilities, such as the library, the pharmacy, and the alchemy lab. Although these facilities were a little too exquisite because of Lin Li's special request, they were still within the normal range.
But …
The fourth floor was a completely different matter. When they first walked up to the fourth floor, Herza even thought that he had walked into a steel prison. Everything in front of him was covered with a thick layer of refined iron, be it the handrails of the stairs or the floor beneath his feet.
Herza looked at the engineers with a puzzled expression, but they only shrugged their shoulders helplessly. In fact, they did not know what was going on either. They only knew that all of this was specially requested by the young President, and that he was responsible for providing all the materials. That's right — all the materials!
Hence, everything in front of them was here …
Lin Li smiled, and did not answer Herza's question. He only stretched out his hand to push open a metal door, and what appeared before them was a slightly narrow room. But compared to a normal room, this was way too freakish. Just as the door was pushed open, Herza could not help but roll his eyes. Without a doubt, everything here was also made of refined iron. Whether it was the thick walls or the floor beneath their feet, the entire room was airtight. The only window was facing the door, and on the floor below the window, Herza could clearly see a huge base made of refined iron. It looked like it was used to store something …
"I've heard people say that the Dwarf Kingdom produces a very powerful Crystal Cannon. The power of its bombardment is almost on par with a level-18 spell. So, I've always thought that it would be very interesting if there were a dozen or so Crystal Cannons firing around …"
"…" Herza almost went crazy on the spot …
Setting up Crystal Cannons in a mage's tower, and a dozen or so at that …
What kind of lunatic would be able to say something like that?
Herza was in charge of the external affairs of the Supreme Council, and had traveled to almost every corner of Anril in the past few decades. Of course, he had been to the Dwarf Kingdom, and was naturally no stranger to Crystal Cannons. In fact, the last time he went to the Dwarf Kingdom, His Majesty Madoran had even personally let someone demonstrate the power of the Crystal Cannons for him.
He had to admit that it was indeed a terrifying weapon.
But no matter how terrifying it was, it had to be usable, right? The Crystal Cannons consumed the purest mana, which could only be provided by magical crystals, and not just any ordinary magical crystal. A level-10 magical crystal could at most fire a few shots, and even a level-15 magical crystal could only fire a few dozen shots. Even with all the resources of the Dwarf Kingdom, there were only 18 Crystal Cannons on the city walls. Furthermore, every generation of Dwarf Kings had set up a ban on using the Crystal Cannons on the city walls unless there was a real threat.
Yet, this President Felic actually wanted to set up a dozen or so …
Did he really think that the Crystal Cannons were like fireworks that could be set off as he pleased?
Wait a minute …
Herza was shaking his head when he suddenly remembered something. Herza suddenly remembered that he seemed to have felt a terrifying magical wave when he was in the basement just now.
Also, those engineers seemed to have mentioned that the source of mana of the tower was placed in the basement according to this young President's request.
Could it be …
This sudden thought that popped up in his mind gave Herza a shock. The old man clearly felt a chill run down his spine.
After taking a deep breath, Herza asked with a pale face, "P-President Felic, could it be that you … Could it be that you got a Legendary magical crystal?"
Lin Li still only smiled, and did not answer Herza's question.
"Alright, President Felic, since you are unwilling to admit it, I will not force you. But, there is something I have to remind you. Even a Legendary magical crystal cannot withstand the consumption of 20 Crystal Cannons …" Herza's expression gradually became serious. "This consumption is too terrifying, and the recovery speed of a Legendary magical crystal cannot keep up with such a terrifying consumption. Moreover, that Legendary magical crystal of yours still needs to provide mana for other magical facilities. Perhaps you can use it for a decade or even a few decades, but there will be a day when it runs out of mana. When that time comes, this Legendary magical crystal will be completely useless …"
