Now that the magic gears had been cracked, there was nothing else in the underground palace that could stop Lin Li from plundering without restraint except for Rodhart. He left the basement with his two Undead servants, and the scene in the palace had changed drastically.
First of all, all the magic lights had been extinguished, and the underground palace was pitch black. It seemed that the energy that the magic lights relied on was also provided by the Crimson Dragon. It was easy to understand why the light seemed dim and the energy was weak. Anyone who had been locked underground for more than 1,000 years would be too lazy to move after struggling desperately at the beginning. When someone touched the gears, the magic gears master would naturally have a way to stimulate them to start working.
Even though they knew that their master had cracked the magic gears, Ujfalusi and Norfeller were still shocked when they came out of the basement and saw the scene in the palace. It was because there were many magic gears that seemed to have been activated, revealing all kinds of dangerous settings. They didn't feel much when they were in the basement, but now, they felt their scalps go numb.
Now, everything here belonged to them! No one would complain about having too much money. Although Lin Li had gained a lot from the Throne of Darkness, he still felt indescribably happy that he would be able to earn a large sum of money now.
Since he had already searched the entire palace with the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li was already very clear about where everything was placed. He didn't need to do any more exploration, and just started sweeping around with his two Undead servants. They went from one place to another, and kept everything they saw in the Ring of Endless Storm.
With the Ring of Endless Storm, not to mention the treasures in the underground palace, he could even store the entire underground palace. However, Lin Li wasn't that evil, so he decided to be merciful and let the underground palace be preserved. As for the things that could be moved away, not even a table or chair was left behind.
As servants, Ujfalusi and Norfeller naturally couldn't object to their master's actions. However, Connoris couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled in Lin Li's mind, "Hey, kid, you're too ruthless. How can you treat these tables and chairs as treasures?"
"What do you know? These are all antiques. Do you know how much elf-style furniture costs outside?" Lin Li casually put away a bookshelf, and another room was completely emptied.
"Do you still lack that bit of money?" Connoris asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I didn't say I wanted to sell them. Anyway, the Tower of Dusk needs tables, chairs, and bookshelves. I can just let them use these. The entire Tower of Dusk uses pure elf-style furniture. Which other Guild of Magic could do that? "Lin Li answered smugly.
In the beginning, Lin Li didn't think too much about it. It was purely his desire to collect the furniture. Anyway, the furniture looked beautiful, and it would be a waste to leave it there. But, after giving Connoris a few perfunctory replies, he had to admit that it was a waste to leave it here. If he wanted to attract more mages to join the Tower of Dusk, he would have to provide them with superior equipment and precious potions. However, a good working and learning environment was also very important.
For example, it would be that the Legendary-that the President was, and would be the Legendary-that would be.. that the Legendary-style would be the Legendary-mages would would be. For example, why would the president be a Legendary-mage? It would be very appealing because it meant that the people who joined would have the opportunity to receive guidance from the Legendary-mage. An elegant environment would make the mages feel at ease. That way, they would be more efficient in their work.
Although the High Elves were overthrown by humans as cruel rulers, people had to admit that the High Elves' understanding of elegance was incomparable to that of humans. The items left behind by the High Elves could be considered works of art. They had always been popular. Many people, especially mages, were proud of having an elf-style artifact.
Now, if all the furniture in the Tower of Dusk were to be elf-style, it would be a fatal attraction to many mages. No one would be unwilling to learn and live in an elegant environment. When they liked it from the bottom of their hearts, they would gradually feel a sense of belonging.
"Alright, you always have your reasons." Connoris admitted defeat. Anyway, no one knew that he was with this guy. Being embarrassed had nothing to do with him.
All kinds of precious magical materials, powerful magical equipment, and the lost spells written in the High Elves' language were all stored in the Ring of Endless Storm. Lin Li was like a swarm of locusts. He didn't leave behind anything that could be taken away. Back in the Abyss of Tharlen, he had occupied the entire Throne of Darkness for himself. He was already giving face to Osric by leaving the underground palace behind.
After sweeping away everything, Lin Li brought his two Undead servants to the wall again. Although he had gained a lot, Lin Li still felt that the items here were the most valuable in the entire underground palace.
Lin Li walked forward and pressed on a Magic-resistant Gem. After his palm left, the Magic-resistant Gem popped out. He nodded slightly, and said to Norfeller, "See what I did? Remove all these gems."
"Yes, Master." Norfeller's figure flickered, and his blurry figure covered the entire wall. The sound of mechanical springs clacking could be heard. After a while, he returned to Lin Li, and handed over the bag containing the Magic-resistant Gems with both hands. There were only hundreds of grooves left on the wall behind him.
Lin Li weighed them with his hands. The value of these Magic-resistant Gems was no less than the pile of items he had just obtained. However, what could be hidden behind the wall? Without the Magic-resistant Gems, there was already a strong aura behind the wall. It seemed to be even stronger than the Crimson Dragon underground. However, Lin Li was not afraid. Instead, he felt a sense of familiarity with that power.
"Are you sure you want to break this wall?" Connoris asked worriedly.
Ujfalusi and Norfeller couldn't hear Connoris's words, but they looked at Lin Li with questioning gazes. The energy fluctuations coming from within caused the two of them to tremble uncontrollably. They knew very well in their hearts how insignificant they were in the face of this power.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Lin Li said as he waved his hand to cast a spell. The originally indestructible wall had become extremely fragile after losing the Magic-resistant Gems. It was just an ordinary spell, but the wall was like a shattered glass. The entire wall collapsed instantly, revealing the secret that had been hidden for thousands of years.
What appeared in front of Lin Li and the rest was a space that was even wider than the crypt where the Crimson Dragon was. It was also a world that made everyone feel strange. There were frozen flames, burning snow, and huge pieces of ice floating on the magma. It was a world of ice and fire. As the two extreme forces clashed, they were constantly annihilated and constantly regenerated. They kept suppressing each other, but no one could always gain the upper hand.
"This is …" Even Connoris was stunned. Two incompatible powers were trapped in the same space. What was Osric thinking?
Lin Li raised his head to look at the sky in that world. He saw two streams of light, one blue and one red, chasing each other in the sky. They would get entangled from time to time, and then switch their roles in the game.
No wonder it felt familiar. Lin Li could already confirm that the two streams of light in the sky were two of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. The Polar Ice Fragment that represented the water element, and the Raging Flames Fragment that represented the fire element.
That's right, it's them, Polar Snow and Raging Flames! Lin Li's emotions were indescribable. Other than being shocked by the appearance of Polar Snow and Raging Flames, there was also an uncontrollable excitement, and a faint nostalgia for them. When he had them, it was in the fantasy realm of another world. Now that he saw them again, he was already a real mage.
The seven pieces of the debris of the stars contained the seven basic elemental rules that formed the world, and Polar Snow and Raging Flames were the two most powerful ones. Polar Snow contained the elemental rules of water, and water had no shape. Hence, Polar Snow could change into a myriad of forms. It could turn into a torrential flood that engulfed the world, or it could turn into a formless frost that froze everything in the world. Raging Flames contained the elemental rules of fire, and was violent and domineering. Wherever it swept through, everything would be turned into ashes.
Polar Snow and Raging Flames were also the two pieces of the debris of the stars that Lin Li liked to use the most back then. In the Endless World, countless powerful magical beasts had died tragically under these two pieces of debris of the stars. Back then, he had used Polar Snow and Raging Flames to complete the first high-reward mission in the Endless World. At the same time, he had left behind a legend in the Endless World.
Although in the eyes of others, the completion of that mission was rather legendary, in Lin Li's eyes, it was really nothing to write home about.
That was a Lava Python that came from the depths of a volcano. Living in an extremely hot environment, it not only had an extremely strong physical body, but was also naturally proficient in all kinds of fire element magic. Moreover, because its body had been bathed in lava for many years, it had formed a layer of hard crystal armor all over its body. This layer of crystal armor not only prevented ordinary weapons from hurting it, but also had an extremely strong resistance to magic. Even a full blow from a magical weapon would not be able to break through its defense.
For some unknown reason, that Lava Python had left the volcano where it lived, and Bright Moon City at the foot of the mountain had become a sea of fire overnight. The Lava Python had gone berserk and destroyed everything in sight. The players' organizations and the system's city defense army had been unable to stop the Lava Python from wreaking havoc. In order to protect Bright Moon City, the castellan had put up an unprecedented mission with a million gold reward to kill the Lava Python.
At that time, Lin Li had just come out of the Well of the Sun. In order to obtain the legendary weapon, the Stars of Fury, he had already spent all his wealth on it. After seeing the mission that Bright Moon City had put up, he was immediately tempted. That huge reward was no different from sending charcoal in a snowstorm to him at that time. He had rushed through the night to Bright Moon City, which was engulfed in flames, and faced the ferocious Lava Python alone. Under the circumstances where everyone thought that he had gone crazy and sent himself to his death, with just a single strike of Raging Flames and Polar Snow, the Lava Python that had left the entire Bright Moon City helpless was annihilated in an instant.
Although in the eyes of others, this matter was rather legendary, in Lin Li's eyes, it was really nothing to write home about. Due to the immense power of Raging Flames and Polar Snow, that battle could not be considered a battle at all. There was not even the slightest bit of danger.
Polar Snow was ever-changing, and Raging Flames could incinerate the heavens and earth. Once these two pieces of the debris of the stars were in his hands, Lin Li's combat power would immediately increase tremendously. It would not be a problem for him to advance by one realm. One had to know that even the Lava Python would end up with nothing left of its corpse under the attack of Polar Snow and Raging Flames.
Although Lin Li currently did not have the Stars of Fury, and thus could not exert the power of the two pieces of the debris of the stars to the fullest, just the power of the debris of the stars alone was enough to make ordinary Legendary powerhouses retreat.
Actually, to Lin Li, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were not the most important use for them now. After all, he was no longer a hunter in that game, but a real mage. What he needed most was to understand and use the Elemental Laws. And these seven pieces of the debris of the stars contained the purest Elemental Laws.
From Gloomy Dark and Holy Light, Lin Li understood the Laws of Darkness and Light. Although his understanding was still rather shallow, he could already use Gloomy Dark and Holy Light to create a Magical Domain of ice, light, and darkness. Then, with such a Magical Domain, he could form an effective suppression on a strong enemy like the Lord of Darkness when he just stepped into the Legendary-realm.
Magical Domains did not necessarily mean that the purer they were, the more powerful they would be. The consequences of extreme power would only be to focus on one thing and lose the other. In the eyes of mages, the most powerful Magical Domain was this world. Hence, the Magical Domain that every mage dreamed of was a Magical Domain that was close to the world.
However, the understanding of every Law required a lot of effort from a mage, and at the same time, a certain amount of luck to be able to successfully understand it. It was already very difficult to understand and master any of the seven basic Laws that formed the world of Anril, let alone all seven. Hence, creating a Magical Domain that was comparable to the world basically only existed in theory.
Lin Li did not know if humans could really create a world. He could not think that far ahead now. However, he knew that as long as he obtained Polar Snow and Raging Flames again, he could use their power to understand the Elemental Laws of water and fire, and make his Magical Domain stronger.
