Tutankhamun was not an amateur like Hutton and Stephen. Although he was not proficient in enchantment, his long life had given him vast knowledge, and he could easily grasp the crux of any problem. Elemental Fiendish Iron was one of the most precious magical metals in Anril. Even during the Dark Age 1,300 years ago, only the High Elven nobles had the right to use magical equipment forged from elemental Fiendish Iron.
Moreover, the older the elemental Fiendish Iron, the stronger its mana. When Geresco forged this metal box, he had used an elemental Fiendish Iron mine that was at least a few thousand years old. The mana contained within it was comparable to a Legendary magical crystal.
Although there was only a layer of hazy halo surrounding the metal rod, pure magical essence itself was a formless existence. Only after going through a complicated elemental arrangement would it emit all sorts of dazzling lights. To be able to condense a hazy halo of magical essence was a terrifying thing in itself.
If this magical essence was used properly, it could be used to complete at least three Master-level enchantments!
Moreover, this magical essence was broken down from elemental Fiendish Iron, and had some unique growth characteristics of elemental Fiendish Iron. In other words, if this magical essence was used for enchantment, the enchanted magical equipment would also become stronger with the passage of time. This characteristic was comparable to the legendary Divinity Metal!
If this magical essence was used for enchantment on a magical weapon forged with Divinity Metal … Tutankhamun could not help but laugh when he thought of this. How could Divinity Metal fall into the hands of mortals? Back in the prehistoric times, when the Titans and Wyrms were fighting, they had already excavated all the Divinity Metal in Anril and forged 12 Titan Dragon Spears. Now, if one wanted to possess a magical weapon forged with Divinity Metal, they would have to enter the Pantheon Shrine and find the remains of the 12 Golden Titans.
What Tutankhamun didn't know was that Lin Li was actually thinking about that. At this moment, Lin Li had even thought of what kind of magical equipment he wanted to forge. He could start work immediately after bringing the magic essence back.
"Excuse me, I accidentally opened it …" Lin Li said with a fake smile as he unceremoniously put away the gold rod along with the magical essence.
"…" Hutton almost choked on his breath when he heard Lin Li's words. He cursed in his heart. Can't you be more realistic if you want to pretend to be humble? You've already lost such a huge metal box, and you still dare to say that you accidentally opened it? Damn it, don't you have any shame?
It was needless to say for Stephen. He had been waiting to see Lin Li make a fool of himself, but after a long while, he realized that he was the real joke. It might not have been a big deal if it had happened to someone else, but Stephen had been pampered since he was young. No one in the entire Dark Blade would go against his wishes. Even his three elders had always doted on him and granted him whatever he wanted. Over time, he had developed a personality that could not tolerate any setbacks.
This time, when Tutankhamun took out the metal box, Stephen thought that he was going to have the upper hand. However, he did not expect to fail to open the metal box even after putting in so much effort and using top-notch lock-picking techniques that most mages would not be able to master. Instead, he was bombarded by countless magic arrows and his face was covered in dirt.
That mage called Felic, on the other hand, had solved all the problems with just a light tap of a metal rod. The comparison between the two was obvious, and coupled with the previous quarrel, Stephen naturally hated Lin Li even more …
Fortunately, Stephen did not let his hatred get to his head. He knew that there was Hutton from the Malfa Family beside him. If he were to really make a move, Hutton would be more than happy to team up with Felic to get rid of him first. In the end, Stephen only glared at Lin Li before lowering his head again. No one knew what he was planning …
The dazzling light gradually dissipated, and the real relic of the God of Mages was revealed.
There was a book, a key, and a magical crystal lying quietly on the wooden table. On the cover of the book, there was a sentence written in a strange font — "Knowledge is the most devout faith of a mage"!
"It really is the Book of Eternity …" This was Geresco's famous saying. It was from this God of Mages. On the day that Alanna Guild of Magic was established, Geresco stood at the top of the Omniscient Tower and said this famous saying that was regarded as the golden rule by all mages.
In fact, even without reading this sentence, the three young mages knew that the thing lying on the wooden table was definitely the Book of Eternity. Everything in this world could be fake, but the magical wave was definitely not. In the world of Anril, mages had always been known as prophets and wise men. This was because mages used their hearts and not their eyes to understand the world. Many things could deceive one's eyes, but definitely not one's heart. Hence, mages could often grasp the crux of a problem amidst a multitude of things.
Just like the Book of Eternity in front of them. Although the three of them had never seen Geresco with their own eyes, when the light dissipated and the Book of Eternity was revealed, the three of them almost immediately knew that it was the Book of Eternity that Geresco had left behind on the wooden table.
At that moment, be it Hutton or Stephen, there was an unconcealable fervor in their eyes. This was very normal. Any mage who saw the relic of the God of Mages would inevitably reveal the same expression. Furthermore, this was not an ordinary relic, but the Book of Eternity that recorded the God of Mages' lifelong knowledge and experience!
Even Lin Li was no exception. However, the fervor in Lin Li's eyes only flashed for a moment. Then, Lin Li looked at the magical crystal.
"F * ck …" Lin Li got a shock when he saw the magical crystal …
The magical crystal was about the size of a fist. Compared to the magical crystals that Lin Li had seen before, this was undoubtedly much bigger. It was already considered good if the magical crystal of an ordinary magical beast was the size of a thumb. Even the Legendary magical crystal that he had obtained from the Crimson Python that he had killed in Black Clouds Town was only twice the size of an ordinary magical crystal.
From the Endless World to the Anril World, the number of magical crystals that Lin Li had seen could be described as car loads. Among them, there were many high-end ones that were level-10 or level-20. However, Lin Li had only seen one and a half that was bigger than this one …
One of them was the heart of the Eternal Furnace — the legendary magical crystal of the Fire Wyrm. That could be described as a rare treasure. It was the size of a human head, and contained a large amount of mana that was enough to support the operation of the entire Eternal Furnace. The Eternal Furnace was a war machine that Osric had modeled after the Sky Castle. In its complete form, there were countless magical weapons, magical devices, and mageweaths. The mana required could be described as astronomical. When Lin Li had entered the Eternal Furnace, he had obtained endless benefits just by leaving his Mental Brand on the magical crystal of the Fire Wyrm. It had allowed Lin Li to break through to the realm of an Archmage.
As for the other half, it was undoubtedly the stone that he had dug out from the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas. Why was it only half? It was because Lin Li had spent more than a year traveling from the Endless World to the Anril World. He had used almost all methods, but could not extract any mana from it. It was as if it was really just an ordinary stone.
However, Lin Li remembered very clearly that he had skinned Azardas, be it the dragon's skin, dragon's bones, dragon's tendons, dragon's blood, or even dragon's hair. However, apart from that stone, he really could not find anything else that could be related to the magical crystal of the Wyrm.
Moreover, why would there be a stone in the body of the mighty Dragon of Destruction? Could it be that this Sir Azardas had really grown a stone after sleeping in the dragon's cave for so long? Alright … Even if it was a stone, there was no reason for it to grow in the brain, right?
After eliminating all the impossible factors, the final conclusion was that it was really a magical crystal, and it was the biggest magical crystal that Lin Li had ever seen in his life …
Oh, yes, I can't let Tutankhamun know about this. The Dragon of Destruction might be his father. Although they were in a different world, who knew if Tutankhamun would vent his anger on me? With the power of the Sanctuary-realm, if he really wanted to avenge his father, even if there were 10 of me, there would only be a dead end …
Thinking of this, Lin Li could not help but look at Tutankhamun guiltily. After realizing that the descendant of the Dragon of Destruction had a normal expression on his face, Lin Li gradually relaxed and focused all his attention on the third biggest magical crystal …
It was no wonder that both Stephen and Hutton were fixated on the Book of Eternity, and did not even look at the magical crystal that was placed together with the Book of Eternity.
This was because the magical wave that was revealed by the magical crystal could not be compared to that of the Book of Eternity. If the Book of Eternity was the moon, then this magical crystal was undoubtedly the light of a firefly. Although the magical wave was not weak, it could definitely be described as ordinary. Judging from the magical wave, it was at most level-15.
To an ordinary mage, a level-15 magical crystal might be a treasure that was difficult to obtain. However, Stephen and Hutton were from the Dark Blade and the Malfa Family respectively. Their standards were naturally far higher than an ordinary mage's. To them, a level-15 magical crystal was not bad, but it was only good. Compared to the Book of Eternity, it was really not worth much effort …
