"I … I should have thought about it. With such power in Doland, it wouldn't be strange to recruit pharmacists! The Tower of Dusk, the Guild of Magic … "Sienna stammered. Although he had worked with Lin Li once, Lin Li didn't mention anything about the Tower of Dusk, and only the Guild of Magic. Sienna didn't take it to heart at that time. Wasn't it normal for mages to mention the Guild of Magic? However, after knowing Lin Li's power, he couldn't remember the Guild of Magic at all.
"Did we talk about pharmacists just now …?" Charles' voice was trembling. He still couldn't believe that the person standing in front of him was the owner of the Tower of Dusk, the President of the Guild of Magic, and the mastermind behind the recruitment of pharmacists …
"Yes!" Sienna nodded blankly, and said in a sympathetic tone, "You also said that the Tower of Dusk wouldn't be happy for long, and asked me why I didn't recruit pharmacists too."
Charles' face turned sullen, and his body seemed to shrink. "Yes, you even asked me if I knew anything that could attract pharmacists, and that I was going to give it a try."
"…" Sienna looked into the distance, and forced himself to calm down. "I know that Mage Felic is a big shot. He already forgave you for offending him. I didn't mean it, so he definitely wouldn't take it to heart."
After leaving Seven Leaf Grass, Lin Li wasn't interested in walking around Roland City anymore. Instead, he brought Wilkinson and the rest back to their residence. It wasn't that he was affected by the manager of Seven Leaf Grass, but rather that Roland City was really boring to Lin Li. Although it was famous for being prosperous in this world, it was nothing compared to the metropolises that Lin Li had seen before.
When they returned to the luxurious castle, the few bored pharmacists in the castle immediately surrounded them curiously when they saw that Lin Li and the rest had returned so quickly. Of course, they didn't dare to waste Lin Li's time on such trivial matters. Hence, they surrounded Wilkinson and asked him all sorts of questions.
Lin Li returned to his room, and instructed the Undead creatures outside not to disturb him. He then closed the door, and took out the Book of Eternity that Geresco had left behind from the Ring of Endless Storm, just like what he did every day in the Tower of Dusk.
During the trip to the Blackstone Mountains and venturing deep into the Abyss of Tharlen, the greatest reward was not the Throne of Darkness, but the three relics of Geresco that he had obtained from Tutankhamun. They were a key, a magical crystal, and a book. It was hard to say which of the three relics was more valuable, but any one of them was incomparable to the Throne of Darkness.
A key was the key to the High Elves' seventh Sky Castle. No one knew how Geresco had obtained it, but there was no doubt that the absence of the High Elves' seventh Sky Castle would have a huge impact on the end of the Dark Age. Perhaps, for most people, the power of the missing Seventh Sky Castle was still somewhat illusory. However, Lin Li was well aware of how terrifying it was, because he had a blueprint of the Sky Castle in his hands.
Through the blueprint of the Sky Castle, Lin Li could have a more specific understanding of the power of the Sky Castle even though he had not experienced the Dark Age, and had not had the chance to face the real Sky Castle. Compared to the Sky Castles, the Eternal Furnace that Highlord Osric had built was actually inferior by more than one level, and was almost like a child's toy, even though the goal of the Eternal Furnace was to build the Sky Castles.
Although Lin Li had planned to fuse the Throne of Darkness into the Eternal Furnace under Connoris' suggestion, there was still a limit to the increase in power. It was still not enough to be compared to the strongest Seventh Sky Castle. However, Lin Li was looking forward to the Nature Magical Domain that was left in the underground palace. If he were to fuse the Nature Magical Domain into the Eternal Furnace, he wondered if the Eternal Furnace would become the eighth Sky Castle.
However, no matter how powerful the Sky Castle was, it could not bring benefits to Lin Li now. After obtaining the three relics, Lin Li had been benefiting a lot from the other two relics — the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant and the Book of Eternity made from the leaves of the Tree of Eternity.
The Evil Eye that was good at Mental Magic had extremely strong mental strength. Although the magical crystal of the Evil Eye that had been processed with a special method could not provide much magical power to the mage, it could increase the mage's mental strength during the period of wearing it.
The strength of mental strength was often used to judge what kind of achievements a mage could achieve in the future. It was also the so-called talent of a person in magic. Because the strength of mental strength was difficult to improve through training, the talent of a mage in magic was almost impossible to change. Some people were destined to be mage apprentices for life, while some could easily reach the Sanctuary-realm. Mental strength was the crucial factor that determined this difference.
Hence, to a mage, nothing could be more important than mental strength. Nothing could be more tempting to a mage than the magical crystal of the Evil Eye that could increase mental strength. If there was anything else, it would be the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant that Lin Li had in his hands.
The magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than the magical crystal of the ordinary Evil Eye Tyrant. Even the most mediocre mage apprentice would have no problem becoming at least a level-19 Archmage as long as he had an Evil Eye Tyrant's magical crystal. Besides, his mental strength would also be far stronger than that of an Archmage of the same level.
However, in order to maximize the effects of the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant, one could not simply keep it in one's pocket. There was a profession in Anril that was similar to pharmacists, blacksmiths, and inscriptionists. Although they did not have great power, they would still be respected by the powerhouses. That was the jeweler who made magical accessories.
One should not think that one could be called a jeweler just by making a ring and embedding a gem. From the selection and processing of materials to the matching of various materials, the carving and cutting of gems or magical crystals, and even the use of mageweaths and potions. It could be said that the profession of a jeweler was an extremely deep and profound knowledge. It was not as simple as pharmaceutics or inscriptions.
If this magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant had been taken back by Hutton or Stephen, they would not have known how to use it either. If it was handled by an ordinary jeweler, he would have to thank the Goddess of Luck if he could even make use of half of its effects. If he was unlucky, he might even destroy the magical crystal.
However, it was different in Lin Li's hands. If a jeweler could not handle this magical crystal, no one in the whole of Anril would be able to. Moreover, compared to ordinary jewelers, Lin Li had an incomparable advantage because he was a pharmaceutics Guru, a Guru of Inscription, and a Guru of Blacksmithing!
When he got the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant, it was the size of a fist. It was only because Lin Li had a Master-level potion that he managed to shrink the fist-sized magical crystal to the size of a pea without causing any damage to the magical crystal. It was impossible for ordinary jewelers to do that. At most, they could shrink the magical crystal to half its size. However, how could a magical crystal that was half the size of a fist be used to make accessories?
The metal used to make the ring was something that no one else could compare to. It was the Divinity Metal that Lin Li had brought from another world in the Ring of Endless Storm. Although it was a treasure, the Divinity Metal was not rare in Lin Li's collection. There were more than 20 pieces of Divinity Metal, and it was not a big deal to cut one to make a ring.
Lin Li's Ring of Endless Storm contained countless different metals, but the reason why he chose to use the Divinity Metal to make the ring was not because the Divinity Metal was the most expensive, but because the ring made of the Divinity Metal would not have any special attributes attached.
The magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant only had one function, and that was to greatly increase mental strength. If this most important function was not taken into account, this magical crystal might not even be comparable to an ordinary level-15 magical crystal. Hence, Lin Li used this magical crystal to make an accessory to help increase mental strength when wearing it. As for those messy functions such as attack and defense, using the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant was simply a waste of resources. Lin Li did not lack magical crystals that were above level-15.
The value of the Divinity Metal lay in its growth characteristics. Equipment forged with the Divinity Metal would not have any outstanding attributes at the beginning, but as it was used for a long time, the growth characteristics of the Divinity Metal would gradually show. Moreover, during this growth process, the equipment forged with the Divinity Metal would also have continuous benefits to the user. This was similar to a mutually supportive growth process. In this way, a piece of equipment forged with the Divinity Metal could even grow into an artifact.
Hence, Lin Li chose the Divinity Metal, and personally made a ring that was engraved with fine mageweaths. Then, he embedded the shrunken Evil Eye Tyrant's magical crystal on it. Since the ring was made, Lin Li had been wearing it on his hand. He could almost clearly feel that his mental strength was growing rapidly all the time.
The magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant could allow a mage apprentice with mediocre talent to quickly grow into a level-19 Archmage through the increase in mental strength. However, it could not guarantee that the user could enter the Legendary-realm steadily. This was because what the Legendary-realm required was not the increase in mental strength and mana, but the mage's understanding and mastery of the World Laws.
The increase in mental strength could only increase Lin Li's strength, but it could not help him advance in the realm. Hence, to Lin Li, the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant was still not the one that could help him the most out of the three relics.
