Lin Li's team arrived at the Blackstone Mountains in the evening. Under Emendas's orders, the Adventurers used tents and stones to build a simple campsite on a flat piece of land halfway up the mountain. The campsite was lit by a bonfire, and the Adventurers sat around it, eating dry rations and drinking hard liquor to wash away the fatigue of the day.
The Blackstone Mountains was indeed a dangerous place. It was only two to three hours' journey from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point, but they met countless magical beasts along the way. Furthermore, each of them was at least level-15, and some were even level-17 or level-18. Even a level-17 Archmage like Emendas could not take it much longer. He went back to his tent to meditate as soon as the simple campsite was built. But before that, he gave Lin Li a task …
"It's so cold …" Lin Li curled up under a tree, rubbing his nose that was red from the cold as he grumbled, "It's so cold at night in this godforsaken place. Do I still want to live …"
The cold wind blew through the pitch-black forest, and Lin Li's face turned pale. He wrapped himself in his thin robe again and again, but he still felt like he was soaking in ice water. It was cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. This godforsaken forest was like a maze. No matter where he walked, it seemed like he was going in circles in the same place. There were eerie shadows of trees in all directions, and from time to time, a gust of wind could be heard from the depths of the forest, making one's scalp go numb.
"Damn it, Emendas, you've got guts!" Lin Li cursed through gritted teeth. At this moment, he should be sitting by the campfire, eating dry rations to stave off his hunger, drinking hard liquor to ward off the cold, and listening to the stories of the adventurers who had traveled far and wide in a boastful tone.
Unfortunately, Emendas's words made it all go up in smoke.
"You're Mage Felic, right? There might be some magical beasts hiding in the forest ahead. Go and take a look. If there's any danger, sound the alarm, and we'll rush over to help you. "
"…" Lin Li really wanted to slap him right there and then …
This was the Blackstone Mountain Range where high level magic beasts roamed. Even an idiot would know what a 10th Rank High Mage was trying to do by sneaking into a forest in the middle of the night. What alarm? What support? What f * cking support? If I was a 10th Rank High Mage, I wouldn't even be able to make a sound if I met a magic beast. I would still have time to warn you and wait for you to rush over. Do you think I'm an idiot?
Thinking about the second young master of the Malfa Family and the unlucky Adventurers, Lin Li knew what was going on no matter how dumb he was. Without a doubt, Emendas had been instructed by someone to make him suffer in the Blackstone Mountains, or even lose his life …
Fortunately, he wasn't a genuine 10th Rank High Mage …
Although the forest in the Blackstone Mountains was dangerous, it was not too much of a threat to him. The only thing that annoyed him was that the weather was too cold!
"When I'm done with the Crimson Python, I'm going to make this bastard suffer!" Lin Li rubbed his red nose, and tugged at the Robe of the Void to make the thin robe tighter around him.
Come to think of it, Emendas deserved it. He only wanted to give face to the second young master of the Malfa Family, but he didn't expect to get himself into so much trouble …
Of course, knowing that Emendas was up to no good, Lin Li was not going to help him scout for magical beasts in the forest.
Less than half an hour into the forest, Lin Li found a leeward rock to hide behind. He stomped his feet to keep warm while opening the Ring of Endless Storm. He took out the sleeping bag and fire tools that he had prepared beforehand, and started a small bonfire behind the leeward rock.
Actually, Lin Li had already made up his mind long before he entered the forest. He didn't care about the magical beasts or the scouts; he just wanted to find a place to sit for a few hours. After he got out, he would tell Emendas that there was nothing in the forest, and that it was very safe.
As for whether it was really safe, Lin Li couldn't care less.
In any case, even if the team entered the woods the next day and really encountered some powerful magic beasts, he would have plenty of excuses to shirk responsibility. Nothing could be done about it, who asked him to be a 10th Rank High Mage? With such poor strength, it wouldn't be strange if he couldn't find any traces of magic beasts, right?
After the bonfire was started, Lin Li sat at the side, and drank two mouthfuls of the strong alcohol he had brought from the campsite. His body that was about to freeze finally warmed up a little.
"If only there was something to eat …" Lin Li's alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with, and now that he was on an empty stomach, he felt a little hot after a few mouthfuls of the strong alcohol. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything edible in the Ring of Endless Storm after searching for a long time. The only thing that had anything to do with food was the large amount of cooking condiments that were lying in a corner.
Speaking of which, the cooking seasonings had been in the Ring of Endless Storm for a long time. They were left behind when Lin Li was in the Endless World and practicing his cooking skills when he was bored. Back then, Lin Li had put in a lot of effort in order to practice his cooking skills. Needless to say, there were all kinds of ingredients that flew in the sky and ran on the ground. Except for real dragon meat, which he didn't have the chance to eat, he had almost eaten all the animals in the Endless World.
Apart from that, there was also a large amount of condiments.
These cooking condiments were not as simple as ordinary oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. When one's cooking skills reached the Master-level, every condiment used could only be described as luxurious. Many of them were even precious magical materials. Take the Blue Grass for example. If used in cooking, not only could it remove the smell of blood from meat, but it could also make the meat tender, making some coarse meat delicious.
However, at the same time, the Blue Grass was a very precious magical material. Mages would often dry the Blue Grass and grind it into a fine powder. When casting spells, only a small pinch of the Blue Grass powder would be needed for the mages to cast a level-15 spell without consuming any mana.
Back then, when Lin Li bought a large amount of Blue Grass in one go, it caused a huge commotion among the mages in the Endless World. Almost all the mages secretly guessed that some freakishly wealthy merchant association wanted to completely monopolize the supply of Blue Grass. Because of this, some mages even organized a protest for a long time. Unfortunately, after almost a month of shouting the slogan "Down with the profiteers, boycott the monopoly", they suddenly realized that the reason this bastard bought so much Blue Grass in one go was purely because his barbecue skills were not up to par …
Yeah, what's there to be afraid of if there's nothing to eat? Can't I just cook myself? Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I cooked myself … Thinking of this, Lin Li grabbed a handful of Blue Grass from the Ring of Endless Storm, and then recited a spell to release a Life Detector.
With Lin Li's current abilities, a Life Detector would be able to detect all living creatures within a 100-meter radius. Originally, Lin Li thought that there would be many magical beasts in such a dark and gloomy forest. Who knew that after releasing the Life Detector, there would not be a single living creature within a 100-meter radius. Not to mention magical beasts, not even a wild rabbit or boar could be found …
"It can't be that strange, right?" Lin Li took a deep breath, and his expression stiffened.
After all, this was the Blackstone Mountains where magical beasts roamed freely. Wasn't it a little too strange to not find a single magical beast in such a large forest?
Lin Li refused to believe it no matter what. Once again, he activated his mana, and expanded the range of the Life Detector from 100 meters to 200 meters. However, the result was still the same. There was still no aura of magical beasts within the range of the Life Detector.
"I don't believe it …" Lin Li gritted his teeth, and decided to go all out. He released a Levitation Spell and flew above the forest, all the way to the other end of the forest.
While flying at high speed, the Life Detector did not stop for a moment, and scanned the forest below again and again.
Lin Li spent almost half an hour crossing almost the entire forest before he finally found a trace of life belonging to a magical beast near the edge of the forest. It was a level-10 Blood-toothed Wild Boar, one of the most useless magical beasts in the Blackstone Mountains. The level of this Blood-toothed Wild Boar was not high, and it did not inherit any talent in magic. The only commendable thing about it was its brute strength.
However, when this brute strength met a mage — especially one with bloodshot eyes from hunger — it would meet a tragic end …
This Blood-toothed Wild Boar deserved its bad luck. When Lin Li swooped down from the sky, the Blood-toothed Wild Boar had just come out of its cave. The moment it raised its head, it saw a black shadow descending from the sky. Then, it felt a bone-chilling cold coming towards it …
Before Lin Li's feet could touch the ground, he released a Death Frost. In an instant, a white mist spread out, and the poor Blood-toothed Wild Boar was frozen into an ice sculpture before it could even make a sound. Then, Lin Li tightened his grip on the Aether Staff in his hand, and in the white mist, another wave of flames rose with a "boom" …
Almost at the same time, Lin Li, who was using the Levitation Spell, skimmed across the ground with a "swoosh". When he rushed out of the mist and flames at a shocking speed, there was already a hairless Blood-toothed Wild Boar in his hand!
Even Andoine would have a gratified smile on his face if he saw these two magic spells — one ice and one fire. This fella's mastery of magic had indeed reached a near-perfect level. A Death Frost to freeze the Blood-toothed Wild Boar, followed by an Endless Flames to melt the ice — the power of these two level-16 magic spells was controlled perfectly by him. The temperature of the Endless Flames was just enough to melt the ice of the Death Frost and remove the long hair of the Blood-toothed Wild Boar. Apart from that, there was not a single burn mark left on the Blood-toothed Wild Boar. Apart from the fact that its heart was no longer beating and its blood was no longer flowing, the Blood-toothed Wild Boar in his hand was no different from when it was alive. Even after a long time, the Blood-toothed Wild Boar was still warm.
With his Master-level culinary skills, Lin Li only took less than 10 minutes to prepare the Blood-toothed Wild Boar. A few pieces of wood and a pile of rocks formed a simple barbecue rack. The Blood-toothed Wild Boar, which had its stomach stuffed with Blue Grass, was skewered by a sharpened wooden stick. It was roasted on the bonfire, and sizzled with oil.
The fragrance of the Blue Grass seeped into the wild boar, and mixed with the strong aroma of the meat. Lin Li gently turned the wooden stick in his hand to roast the wild boar more evenly. At the same time, he took out a small silver knife from his pocket and cut a small piece of the wild boar from the hind leg.
"Not bad …" He did not expect that after such a long time, his culinary skills had not deteriorated at all. This Blue Grass Wild Boar roasted was not much worse than the ones he made in the past. If he had to point out a flaw, it would be that the condiments were too little, and it could not bring out the taste of the wild boar.
However, this could not be helped. The Ring of Endless Storm had always been used to store valuable items. Ordinary condiments such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar would naturally not be placed in it. Now that he was in the wilderness, it did not matter if it was lacking in condiments. He could roast another wild boar when he had the chance. Anyway, he had a lot of Blue Grass in the Ring of Endless Storm, and it should be enough to roast dozens of wild boars.
However, just as Lin Li was feeling a little regretful, there was a sudden soft sound in the forest.
This sound entered his ears, and Lin Li's expression immediately froze. After all, he had released the Life Detector just now, and no movement within a 100-meter radius could escape his eyes and ears. Under such circumstances, there was actually something that could approach him without making a sound.
There were only two possibilities for this …
Either it was a high-level Bandit who was good at hiding, and could use his skillful skills to avoid the surveillance of the Life Detector, or it was an existence that was much stronger than him, so strong that it could unknowingly avoid the surveillance of the Life Detector …
The scariest thing was that Lin Li could clearly feel a huge pressure coming from the forest. It was a kind of ferocious aura, but it was incomparably dignified. It made people who saw it uncontrollably cower and want to submit to it. Lin Li knew that this kind of ferocious aura only belonged to magical beasts. However, the one coming from the forest was different from any magical beast that Lin Li had seen before. Besides being ferocious, there was also endless dignity. Even the aura of the Crimson Python and the Salamander did not bring such a huge pressure to Lin Li. If he had to find an existence that was equivalent to this, it could only be that Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction in the Endless World, who had died a wrongful death …
These countless thoughts flashed through Lin Li's mind. It might sound a little complicated, but it was only for a moment. Almost at the same time that the voice sounded, Lin Li had already grabbed the Aether Staff subconsciously. Then, the Dragon's Eye on the top of the staff flashed, and a huge fireball with a long tail of flames whistled in the air …
This was the Pyroblast that Lin Li had stored in the Dragon's Eye long ago. It was specially used to deal with sudden situations like this. After all, mages did not have the tyrannical physical strength of Warriors. When dealing with sudden situations like this, they had to rely on the instantaneous high-level magic stored in their magical equipment.
There was a loud "boom" as the Pyroblast exploded in the forest. In an instant, the forest turned into a sea of fire. A dazzling fire shot up into the sky, reflecting the dark night sky into a bright red.
After the blast of the Pyroblast, Lin Li did not dare to stop at all. He released a Levitation Spell and rose into the air with a "swoosh". At the same time, he threw out a Warlock's Eyes. Under the cover of the sky full of flames, he quietly floated into the forest.
Through the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li could clearly see the raging flames in the forest, and in the midst of the fire, a figure dressed in a black robe strolled over as though he was taking a stroll in his own backyard …
"Not a magical beast?" Lin Li's eyes were immediately stunned. He had never thought that the one emitting such a fierce aura was a human in a black robe, and not a magical beast like he had imagined …
This time, it was a little terrible …
Lin Li rubbed his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
He had originally thought that this was an extremely powerful magical beast. Of course, there was no reason to talk about dealing with magical beasts. The one who struck first had the advantage, and the one who struck last would suffer. No matter what kind of demon or ghost it was, he would use the Pyroblast to blast it first. But Lin Li had never thought that the one walking out of the forest was actually a human. This was a little complicated. The other person might just be passing by, and did not have any evil intentions. But if he blasted it with a Pyroblast, even if it did not have any evil intentions, it would become malicious …
Then, Lin Li saw the figure stretch out his hand, and with a light wave in the void, the Warlock's Eyes floated into his palm like a catkin.
Then, Lin Li could not see anything …
At the same time that the Warlock's Eyes disappeared, Lin Li's heart sank.
If Lin Li had some doubts about the other party's strength just now, then Lin Li clearly knew that the other party's strength was definitely far above his own. Although the Warlock's Eyes had the word 'eye' in its name, it was not a real eye, but an extension of the senses created by the combination of a mage's mental strength and mana. Through this trace of mental strength, the mage could clearly grasp everything around him. To destroy this Warlock's Eyes, he had to have the ability to capture this trace of mental strength.
Mental strength itself was an illusory and formless existence, especially for a person as gifted as Lin Li. His mental strength had been trained to the point where it could be used at will. As long as he was willing, even if someone laid a trap, it would not be able to stop that trace of mental strength from escaping.
But just now, the figure in the black robe had only used his hand to wave gently in the void, and that trace of mental strength was like a fallen leaf in the center of a whirlpool, falling into the other party's grasp without any resistance …
What kind of power was this?
Ever since Lin Li came to Anril, he had seen countless powerhouses, and even many legendary figures with his own eyes. But, Lin Li was confident that even these legendary figures could not be like this figure in the black robe, who could capture a trace of mental strength that he released with just a wave of his hand.
Perhaps Apophis could …
But, how many Apophis were there in this world?
Just as Lin Li was dumbfounded, the figure had already slowly walked out of the forest. The black robe, the blazing flames, and the relaxed manner that made it seem as if he was taking a stroll in the park made Lin Li's scalp go numb. This person walked out of the flames, and there was not a single trace of burn on his body.
"Little mage, was it you who attacked me?" The person who walked out of the forest was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He had a strong body, dark skin, and a square face that made him look very dignified. When he spoke, although his voice was not very loud, every word that he said was like an explosion in Lin Li's ears. If not for Lin Li's incomparably strong mental strength, this sentence would have been enough to make Lin Li fall from the sky.
The moment the middle-aged man walked out of the forest, Lin Li knew that his feeling was right. The middle-aged man exuded an extremely ferocious aura that was like that of a prehistoric magical beast. However, compared to magical beasts that only knew how to kill and destroy, this middle-aged man's aura had a deeper and more dignified aura. Just by standing there, Lin Li could feel a substantial pressure.
"This …" Lin Li swallowed his saliva with difficulty as he desperately tried to resist the endless pressure. His unusually sharp mind seemed to have frozen at this moment. Lin Li wanted to find an excuse to explain, but no matter how he thought about it, he only felt that his mind was empty, and he could not think of anything.
"Little mage, do you know what the consequences of attacking me are?" The middle-aged man's voice was still calm, and there was no trace of anger on his square face. If it was someone who was not aware of the situation, they would probably think that these two people were chatting about the weather.
However, Lin Li, who was under the pressure, clearly knew how terrifying the middle-aged man's pressure was. It was a feeling as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. Even with his strength as a level-18 Archmage, he had to desperately activate his mental strength to barely suppress the fear in the depths of his heart. Lin Li knew that if he were to relax even a little, he would definitely collapse under this huge pressure.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Li quietly, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face. However, that incomparably huge pressure continued to be emitted from his body, and it was getting stronger and stronger. Even that blazing campfire seemed to be blown by the wind, and the flames danced, making crackling sounds in the silent forest.
For a moment, the forest was frighteningly quiet. Apart from the flickering flames, there was only the sound of Lin Li's sweat dripping on the fallen leaves. In order to resist that terrifying pressure, Lin Li had already activated his mental strength to the limit. His face had already turned deathly pale, and beads of cold sweat kept dripping down. Lin Li knew that if this continued, he would not be able to hold on for long. Now, he was like a taut bowstring. He could either pull it tighter and tighter, and end up breaking the bowstring, or he could take advantage of the fact that his mental strength and mana had been activated to the peak to shoot that arrow …
Lin Li gritted his teeth fiercely, and pushed the mental strength that had already been activated to the limit to the state of overload. In an instant, an incomparably strong magical wave spread in the forest. This magical wave was like a tidal wave, with each wave higher than the previous, and constantly impacted everything around it. At that moment, even that mysterious middle-aged man's expression could not help but stiffen.
After his mental strength had completely reached the limit, Lin Li could very clearly feel that the magical wave emitted from his body had vaguely formed countless vortexes. It seemed ordinary, but with just a thought, these vortexes would erupt with a huge amount of power.
At this moment, if experienced mages like Andoine and Aldwin were to see this, their jaws would probably drop to the ground in shock. The magical wave forming a vortex was a sign that only existed in the Legendary-realm. A level-18 Archmage actually forcefully pushed his own magical wave to the Legendary-realm by relying on the increase of his mental strength. What kind of pervert would be able to do such a terrifying thing?
Unfortunately, Lin Li did not have the time to ponder over this. Taking advantage of the time when the mental strength was completely released, the middle-aged man's expression stiffened, and the pressure finally showed a slight loophole. Lin Li immediately withdrew the Levitation Spell, and his whole body slowly descended from the sky.
For the first time, Lin Li felt that the feeling of having his feet on the ground was so wonderful …
"First of all, let me apologize for my recklessness …" The moment Lin Li's feet landed on the ground, the omnipresent pressure seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Lin Li knew that the other party's first test had ended. At least in a short period of time, he would not make things difficult for him.
Since he knew that the other party would not make things difficult for him, Lin Li was happy to be generous for once. After descending from the sky, he sat beside the bonfire openly. As he rotated the wild boar that was roasted with the Blue Grass on the grill, he said with a face full of smiles, "But I have a question …"
"What question?"
"If it were you, and you suddenly heard a sound behind you in the middle of the night in the wilderness, what would you do?"
"I would make that fella that made a sound never to make another sound for the rest of his life."
"Heh heh …" Lin Li laughed dryly, but he agreed with what he said in his heart. Perhaps only such a person could say such arrogant words, and it was not repulsive at all. It was as if such arrogance was a matter of course to him.
"Little mage, you are very interesting." The middle-aged man stared at Lin Li for a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared on his square face. "Come, I am Tutankhamun."
"I am Felic." Lin Li smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Tutankhamun's. He let out a long sigh in his heart, because he knew that the smile that the middle-aged man revealed this time was completely different from before. Previously, there was a hint of teasing and testing in his smile, but this time, it truly represented friendliness. It seemed that the strength that Lin Li had displayed after forcefully activating his mental strength had gained the other party's recognition.
"Aren't you going to treat me to this?" After a brief self-introduction, Tutankhamun pointed at the wild boar roasted with Blue Grass on the grill, and for the first time, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his square face. "To tell you the truth, I was attracted by this aroma …"
"…" Lin Li did not know whether to laugh or cry at that moment. In that moment of confrontation with Tutankhamun, Lin Li had guessed his intentions countless times, and even wondered if he was a helper that Emendas had invited. However, Lin Li had never thought that Tutankhamun would appear here because of the wild boar roasted with Blue Grass that he had made on a whim …
If he had known, he would not have roasted the wild boar even if he had to starve to death …
However, there was no use regretting it now. Since the wild boar was so big, and he could not eat so much by himself, he might as well treat Tutankhamun to a meal and treat it as a favor.
"Hehe, how could that be …" Lin Li laughed, and took out a silver knife from his pocket. He cut off a roasted hind leg that was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. He drew a few crosses on it with the silver knife, and then took out a bottle of salt that he always carried with him, and sprinkled it on the meat gently. As the salt soaked into the meat, a rich meaty aroma spread in the forest.
"Please."
"Then, I shall not stand on ceremony …" Tutankhamun took the hind leg, and did not stand on ceremony with Lin Li. He ate it in big mouthfuls, and could not help but exclaim, "Little mage, I did not expect your cooking to be so good. The food you make is so delicious. I have not eaten such delicious food since the prehistoric times …"
"Hehe …" Lin Li laughed, and did not say anything modest. As a true Master Chef, if the food he made could not even be described as "delicious", then what meaning was there in the title of Master Chef?
Wait a minute …
Halfway through his laughter, the smile on Lin Li's face suddenly froze.
This Tutankhamun, did he just say … prehistoric times?
Oh my God …
Lin Li's gaze towards Tutankhamun was a little dazed. What era was the prehistoric times? That was the era when the Wyrms and Titans fought for the supremacy of the continent. In that era, even those extremely proud High Elves, who claimed to be living gods, were just born under the Tree of Eternity. They were far from being a real race at that time. To put it bluntly, they were just food for those powerful beings from the prehistoric times …
At that moment, Lin Li only felt his scalp go numb.
Lin Li originally thought that he had seen enough of the world. He had a Vampire follower from the Dark Ages, and a Lich follower who had died of illness hundreds of years ago. As for himself, he had even transmigrated from another world.
But Lin Li had never thought that he would one day sit beside a bonfire with a powerful being from the prehistoric times, eating roasted meat and drinking strong alcohol, and complaining about the terrible weather in the Blackstone Mountains today …
"What's wrong, little mage?" Tutankhamun finished off a wild boar's hind leg in a few moves, wiping his mouth as if he hadn't had enough, and asked curiously.
"No … Nothing." Lin Li laughed, but after laughing, he realized that his voice was strangely choppy, as if something was stuck in his throat.
"It's been so many years since I've eaten such delicious food …" Seeing that Lin Li was unwilling to say, Tutankhamun did not force him. He only licked his lips and revealed a longing expression.
"Hehe, if you like it, then eat more. There's still a lot here …" Lin Li's appetite was not big to begin with. A small piece of meat was already seventy to eighty percent full. Moreover, when he suddenly heard Tutankhamun say that he came from the prehistoric times, Lin Li did not have the mood to eat anymore. He only secretly guessed Tutankhamun's identity while chatting with him.
The two of them sat around the bonfire and chatted for almost an hour. Apart from the hind leg that Lin Li had cut off, the rest of the Blue Grass Roasted Wild Boar was stuffed into Tutankhamun's stomach. However, what surprised Lin Li was not Tutankhamun's appetite, but his almost omniscient knowledge.
Tutankhamun's knowledge was so profound that when Lin Li chatted with him, he even secretly wondered if there was anything in this world that this mysterious middle-aged man did not know. From the prehistoric times to the Dark Age, and then from the Dark Age to the present, Tutankhamun was very familiar with the history of Anril. As he ate the roasted meat, he told Lin Li about it. Many of the details were not even recorded in the most authoritative documents, but from Tutankhamun's mouth, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
The only thing that puzzled Lin Li was that Tutankhamun's memory was a little strange. The older the events, the clearer he could remember, but the more recent events, especially after the Dark Age. Tutankhamun actually knew less than an outsider like Lin Li …
However, even so, Tutankhamun's knowledge could only be described as terrifying. Furthermore, his knowledge was not limited to history. He also had shocking attainments in magic and martial arts, especially in magic. To be honest, Lin Li thought that he was quite proficient in magic. After all, in the past year, every mage that he came into contact with was an impressive figure in Anril. Under the influence of hearing and seeing, even a block of wood would be enlightened.
However, in front of Tutankhamun, Lin Li felt for the first time that he was actually so ignorant.
There were many ways to cast spells that he had not even heard of before.
At the start, Lin Li thought that Tutankhamun made it up, but after thinking about the theory, it seemed to really work. Although it was very difficult to execute, it was not impossible. Especially when Tutankhamun mentioned a few casting techniques that were passed down among the High Elves' royal family, it made Lin Li's ears perk up.
After the two of them ate the roasted meat, the one who benefited the most was actually Lin Li …
"Oh yes, little mage, I realized that your mental strength is very strange. I remember that during the Dark Age, I once saw a mage like you who also had strong mental strength, but he was slightly more powerful than you. His control of mental strength had already reached a very impressive realm, and he even found a set of methods to train mental strength …"
"There's such a thing?" Lin Li was shocked. The growth of mental strength had always been something that every mage dreamed of, because the strength of mental strength would largely determine what kind of achievements a mage would have in the end. If there really was a way to steadily increase mental strength, then at least half of the mage apprentices in this world would be able to become Archmages.
However, it was a pity that this method had long been proven to be a beautiful fantasy. Mental strength represented a mage's talent, and it was already destined from birth. Other than a few special circumstances, such as a breakthrough in level or a mutation in mental strength, it was almost impossible for there to be the slightest bit of change.
But now, Tutankhamun actually said that the mage actually left behind a set of methods to train mental strength …
"Come to think of it, it's a coincidence that the notebook that recorded this method happened to be with me. It's a pity that I did not bring it out today. If you are free, you can come to my house. I will give that notebook to you as a thank you for treating me to this roasted meat today." Tutankhamun stood up and gave a loud burp.
Lin Li still did not dare to believe it. "There really is such a method in this world?"
"Yes." Tutankhamun nodded his head with certainty. After tilting his head and thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Oh yes, that mage seems to be called Geresco. He seems to be very famous among you humans. You should have heard of this name, right?"
"…" Lin Li felt a buzzing sound in his head …
The mental strength training method left behind by the God of Mages, Geresco!
"Alright, I have to go, little mage. It's nice to meet you. I welcome you to visit my house when you are free. I live at the peak of the Blackstone Mountains, but the path up the mountain might be a little difficult to walk. With your current strength, it might be a little difficult for you to go up. How about this, you can search around the Blackstone Mountains and see if you can find a magical beast called the Crimson Python, then think of a way to enter their nest. At the end of their nest, there is a secret passage that leads to the peak of the mountain. You can follow that secret passage to my house."
