Lin Li was not worried at all that people would say that he was making a mountain out of a molehill when it came to the reconstruction of Black Clouds Town. After all, he had the ability to make a mountain out of a molehill. No one said that one had to be heartless when practicing magic. Apart from preventing himself from being bullied, one's motivation to improve oneself was to protect the people one wanted to protect.
The reconstruction of the new Black Clouds Town was huge, and it was comparable to the construction of a fortress. However, the participation of the mages sped up the progress of the project. The construction workers had really opened their eyes. They had never worked with mages in their entire lives. They all sighed in their hearts, thinking that Lin Li was indeed a mage. Look at how evenly he stirred the mortar.
Lin Li stayed in his room, while Gavin led the mages of the Tower of Dusk to focus on the reconstruction of Black Clouds Town. The Tower of Dusk, a rising force with infinite potential, suddenly fell silent after the annihilation of the Syer Bandits.
It was a rare period of peace. The door of Lin Li's room was tightly shut, and he did not leave his room at all. Black Clouds Town, which had been ravaged by the flames of war, was quickly rebuilt on the original site with the efforts of Gavin and the other mages.
The news of the annihilation of the Syer Bandits spread like wildfire in the Breezy Plains outside of the Tower of Dusk and Black Clouds Town.
After all, they were one of the top 10 bandit groups in the Breezy Plains. Unexpectedly, they were wiped out from the Breezy Plains so suddenly. The various forces that heard the news were extremely curious about the inside story, and tried their best to find out the truth.
What happened in the Dragon Mountains was not considered a secret. They soon found out that the cause of the annihilation of the Syer Bandits was a rising force called the Tower of Dusk. The force was located in Black Clouds Town in Doland. It was the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic that was supported by the Supreme Council. There was also a very special thing about it — their President was actually a 20-year-old kid.
A Guild of Magic that was established less than a year ago and led by a 20-year-old President actually wiped out the Syer Bandits that had been wreaking havoc in the Breezy Plains for many years. That was a very shocking statement. Almost everyone who heard the news was either drenched in their clothes or covered in rice.
This was utter nonsense!
Following the order, the intelligence departments of the various forces began to operate at high speed, investigating the truth behind this matter.
"I was wondering, so it's the Malfa Family backing them up!"
More news was quickly sent to the leaders of the various forces. The Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk had entered the Dragon Mountains together, annihilated the Syer Bandits, and even destroyed the four Alchemy Colossuses.
"It's Master Cheyenne, it must be Master Cheyenne of the Malfa Family!"
Many of the forces were knowledgeable and knew how terrifying the combat power of the Alchemy Colossuses was. In their opinion, only a Legendary powerhouse would be able to break the powerful Alchemy Colossus. As for the newly established Magic Guild and the young president, they were not even in their consideration.
"Damn it, I gave you money to gather information, not to make up fairy tales for me!"
There was once a person in a certain force who was good at gathering information, and found out all the truth. However, he was kicked out of the door by the leader as soon as he mentioned that the young president had charged over while braving the attacks of 10 Archmages.
A 20-year-old young man actually withstood the bombardment of 10 Archmages and got rid of four Alchemy Colossuses effortlessly. Then, he unleashed his Magical Domain and got rid of 10 Archmages at once? If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it!
However, although they didn't believe that the young president had any great abilities, they could tell that the Tower of Dusk had a close relationship with the Malfa Family. Otherwise, why would the Malfa Family join forces with the Tower of Dusk to fight the Syer Bandits, and why would the Legendary powerhouse of the Malfa Family, Master Cheyenne, personally help them get rid of the Alchemy Colossuses?
The reason behind this was actually not very important. What was important was that the Tower of Dusk was obviously valued by the Malfa Family. After all, the Malfa Family was the most powerful force in Aminya, and only the Dark Blade could compete with them. That was because they had a Legendary powerhouse, which was enough to make other forces not dare to go against them.
Master Cheyenne rarely left the Malfa Family, mainly because he had to guard against sneak attacks from the Dark Blade. However, Master Cheyenne actually made an exception and left the Malfa Family for the sake of the Tower of Dusk. It was obvious that the Malfa Family valued the Tower of Dusk to the extent that they were willing to take the risk.
The powerful Malfa Family was not something that just anyone could suck up to. Now, there was a new force that was valued by the Malfa Family, and more importantly, by Master Cheyenne. Those small and medium-sized forces that were not qualified to suck up to the Malfa Family could not help but focus their attention on the Tower of Dusk.
With the support of the Malfa Family, it would be impossible for the Tower of Dusk to not develop in the Breezy Plains in the future. Since they were not qualified to suck up to the Malfa Family, it might be beneficial to build a good relationship with the Tower of Dusk! All the forces of the Breezy Plains turned their attention to the newly built Tower of Dusk in Doland.
Rumors about the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk spread rapidly in the Breezy Plains. As the top force of the Breezy Plains, it was impossible for the Malfa Family not to have heard of it.
Outsiders would not be able to guess that the young master of the Malfa Family was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat after hearing the rumors. What a joke, saying that the Tower of Dusk was affiliated to the Malfa Family? If that young President took it seriously, wouldn't he be causing trouble for the Malfa Family …?
How did the news get out!? Only the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk were involved in this matter. The people from the Tower of Dusk would definitely not say that they were affiliated to the Malfa Family. Hence, the rest could only be from the people from the Malfa Family.
Investigate! Could it be that the Dark Blade had sent an undercover agent to sow discord between the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk? This is unforgivable! Hutton was extremely annoyed, and ordered a strict investigation on the people who were involved in this operation.
However, no matter how they investigated, they could not find any undercover agent. Although there was indeed someone who leaked the news, those people were very vague about it in consideration of the Malfa Family's reputation. However, the vague information naturally gave people a lot of room for imagination.
Because of this matter, Hutton was worried for a whole month. Only after confirming that the young President did not seem to care about what outsiders said did he slowly put his heart at ease.
Speaking of the cooperation to annihilate the Syer Bandits, the elders finally stopped nagging after seeing the large amount of spoils of war. Although the Malfa Family was the top force of the Breezy Plains, Hutton had brought back more than half of the Syer Bandits' treasure trove. This was a huge gain for the Malfa Family.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the new Black Clouds Town was almost completed. Lin Li also walked out of his room at this time. Through the summary of this period of time, he had solved many of the hidden dangers caused by the rapid advancement of his realm. Although he did not have enough time to fully understand the Laws in the Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, there was still a significant improvement in using these two pieces of the debris of the stars. His Magical Domain of Frost, Light, and Darkness had also become more complete.
After coming out of the room, Lin Li realized that there were many new faces in the Tower of Dusk during this period of time. It seemed that the Tower of Dusk had become more famous during this period of time. Otherwise, how could there be so many people joining at once?
These people should have been instructed by the elders to recognize Lin Li as the mysterious young President, and greeted him respectfully.
Lin Li nodded slightly, and responded to these new members one by one. He was rather happy to see that these new members seemed to be quite strong. Along the way, he saw six level-15 Archmages and a few level-13 and 14 Magic Shooters.
Controlling his expression, Lin Li arrived at the door of the Tower of Dusk, and used the Power of Flight to fly towards Black Clouds Town. When he was in the sky, he couldn't help but grin. It was naturally a very happy thing to see the organization that he had established with his own hands developing healthily.
Two days ago, Lin Li came out of his room for a while, and asked Gavin about the progress of the construction of the new Black Clouds Town. He heard that it would basically be completed by today, so he immediately headed to Black Clouds Town to see how the construction was going.
Soon, the new Black Clouds Town appeared in front of Lin Li's eyes. It looked like a regular hexagon from the sky, just like what he had designed. He descended in the center of the town, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw Gavin and his men approaching him. Hence, he smiled and asked, "How is it? How's the progress of the construction?"
Seeing that Lin Li was smiling, Gavin finally felt relieved. To be honest, he was getting less and less confident in the construction of the new Black Clouds Town, because he had no idea what the designs on the blueprints were for. Hence, he had been very worried about how he would explain it to Lin Li if there were any mistakes. "President, according to your design, the construction of Black Clouds Town is now basically completed," Gavin answered.
Lin Li looked around, nodded, and said, "Yes, gather all our people here. As for the construction workers, let them leave first."
According to Lin Li's instructions, Gavin dismissed the construction workers, and then gathered the mages of the Tower of Dusk who were involved in the construction, and waited for Lin Li's next orders.
Now that the construction of the new Black Clouds Town had reached this stage, the rest was basically Lin Li's work. He had to assemble the magic gears, connect the power transmission between them, install the power core, and set up the mana drainage mageweaths and so on …
It was only now that Gavin and the mages who were involved in the construction work knew what those complicated settings were for. At the same time, they were also glad that they had strictly followed the blueprints during the construction process, and did not make any changes on their own.
Gavin and the other mages were dumbfounded as they watched the small town turn into a well-defended fortress in less than a minute with creaking and rumbling sounds. They could not believe that such a magical thing actually came from their own hands.
"What do you think? If any of the Syer Bandits dares to come, they can forget about going back …" Lin Li smiled. Although he had a Master-level knowledge of magic gears, it was his first time designing and building a building that used magic gears. The sense of achievement was rather intoxicating.
Gavin finally closed his mouth. Although Lin Li did not explain the details of the magic gears, he could guess the purpose of the magic crossbows. He thought to himself, With thousands of magic crossbows and tens of thousands of enchanted arrows, not to mention one Syer Bandits, even 10 of them might not be able to take down this town.
"By the way, President, the herbs you asked for have been transported to the Tower of Dusk yesterday, and are stored in the warehouse," said Gavin, who had snapped out of his daze.
"Alright, I got it." Lin Li wanted to add a few more layers of insurance for the town, so he had asked Gavin to buy a batch of herbs to prepare the poison. However, this time, he didn't have to tire himself out like a dog, because Gerian was about to return from Alanna with a batch of pharmacists from the Pharmacist Guild. Hence, he would have to wait for the group of laborers to arrive before preparing the potions in large quantities.
"Do you have any other instructions, President?" Gavin asked again. The construction of the new Black Clouds Town had been completed, and the next step was for the residents to move back. He needed clear instructions from Lin Li if there were any other plans.
Lin Li rubbed his chin, looked around the town, and said, "Alright, let them move in. I hope they will be satisfied with the new Black Clouds Town." He felt a little guilty towards the residents of Black Clouds Town. Although the attack was not just targeted at him and the Tower of Dusk, he still felt bad for not being able to protect them in his territory. However, he couldn't protect them within his own sphere of influence, so he didn't feel good about it.
Gavin led his men to help the residents of Black Clouds Town move back to town, while Lin Li returned to the Tower of Dusk. Another day passed just like that.
On the next day, Lin Li heard from Gavin that the old residents of Black Clouds Town were very satisfied with the new Black Clouds Town. In fact, for ordinary people, having a place to live and shelter from the wind and rain was enough. No one really cared about whether it was good or not. However, the residents were indeed very satisfied with the new Black Clouds Town because the houses were new, and they were sturdier, wider, and brighter than before. The furniture in the houses was also new.
