"500,000 gold coins, remember what you said." The old gambler, Jeffson, who monopolized almost all the casinos in Roland City, was just joking at first, but after hearing Sienna's words, he realized that 500,000 gold coins was not a small sum. Without thinking, he continued, "Okay, I'll open the bet just for you."
That was like giving money to him. What was wrong with Sienna's brain today? The people who were seated near him all responded enthusiastically. Tens of thousands of gold coins were bet on the elven Legendary-mage, not for the sake of earning much money, but to embarrass the upstart of Roland City.
It was simply one-sided, and in fact, there was no point in betting anymore. Sienna was the only one who bet on Lin Li's victory, while those who bet on the elven Legendary-mage Vidas' victory piled up to more than 2,000,000 gold coins in the blink of an eye. How could Sienna not feel that everyone was looking at him like he was a fool? However, he sneered in his heart. Come on, bet as much as you can. Let's see who's the fool in the end!
The news spread rapidly in the stands, and the bets kept increasing. Sienna even hoped that Lin Li would make a move later so that he could win tens of millions of gold coins after everyone else had placed their bets.
Lin Li had seen plenty of Legendary powerhouses, and had fought with them before. In fact, he was even trampled on by the Sanctuary powerhouse Apophis on the day he became the President of the Guild of Magic. However, be it Burnside, Sendros, or Apophis, no matter how much they trampled on him, they all had their own considerations, and had a grasp of the limits of his endurance.
Although the Lord of Darkness was ferocious, he had lost his nature, after all. The Crimson Dragon in the underground palace had also been imprisoned for thousands of years. Lin Li could clearly feel that the mobilization of his mana was greatly affected when facing the unreserved oppression of a level-22 Legendary-mage, and it was far from as smooth as usual.
However, Lin Li was not an ordinary level-20 Legendary-mage, after all. He did not spend so much time reading the Book of Eternity for nothing. Besides, he had extraordinary mental strength. Faced with the oppression of a level-22 Legendary-mage, he did not back down at all.
Just as the people were placing their bets and mocking Sienna, another powerful aura suddenly erupted from the center of the Harvest Square. The spectator stands fell silent. Apart from Sienna, everyone else was dumbfounded. There were only two people in the middle of the square. Previously, it was the elven Legendary-mage Vidas' aura that was wreaking havoc. Where did this equally powerful aura come from?
William stood up in surprise. This was definitely the aura of a Legendary powerhouse. Could it be that young Mage Felic was not only a brilliant pharmacist, but also a powerful Legendary-mage!? This was simply unimaginable. After all, Mage Felic was only twenty years old! A 20-year-old Master Pharmacist and a 20-year-old Legendary-mage were beyond the limits of human imagination.
Arathor, who was also very worried just now, had different thoughts from William. The worry in his heart did not change because of Lin Li's outburst. He frowned and stared blankly at the center of the square. So what if Lin Li was a Legendary-mage? Even if Lin Li had become a Sanctuary powerhouse, Arathor would just have to worry about another person.
Lin Li's outburst surprised Vidas a little. Previously, he thought that Lin Li was using potions to forcefully increase his abilities. He didn't expect Lin Li to have hidden his abilities so well. He had actually become a Legendary-mage. However, even then, Vidas's confidence in winning did not decrease at all.
"There are differences between Legendary-mages too!" Vidas said with a relaxed expression as if he was just saying that to himself. He then waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand gently, and the Nature Domain spread to the surroundings with his body as the center, causing ripples on the water surface.
The ground of the Harvest Square was paved with hard lapis lazuli slabs, but the gaps between the slabs were very small. The entire ground of the square was blended together like the surface of a cold river in winter. However, the smooth and flat ground was quickly stained with a layer of green after Vidas released his Nature Domain. Tender grass grew wildly on the hard slabs, and in the blink of an eye, the entire square changed completely.
The sky was blue, and the fields were vast. Cows and sheep could be seen on the grass when the wind blew. The people of the Breezy Plains were no strangers to such a scene, but they couldn't help but be amazed that such a scene had been moved to the Harvest Square. The elves were indeed a race that loved nature, and their Nature Magic was indeed the most beautiful of all spells.
The grass stopped growing when it reached the height of a person's waist. However, there were many saplings in the grass. These saplings grew at the same speed as the grass. It looked as if they were pulled out of the ground. In an instant, they grew into towering trees. At this moment, the Harvest Square changed from a grassland to a dense jungle. The only thing that was lacking was the chirping of insects and the chirping of birds.
When Vidas released his Nature Domain, William felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and his mood plummeted to rock bottom again. A Legendary-mage who could create his own Magical Domain was at least level-21, and Vidas' Nature Domain was obviously not newly created. In other words, the elven Legendary-mage Vidas had to be above level-21. What about Mage Felic who had been suppressed?
When Lin Li also erupted with the aura of a Legendary powerhouse, the people who were placing their bets were shocked, and they began to hesitate about the outcome of the battle. Who should they bet on to win? Sienna's 500,000 gold coins were the only ones who bet on Mage Felic. Those who bet on the elven Legendary-mage Vidas had already reached 3,000,000 gold coins. In other words, if Mage Felic won in the end, Sienna would be able to pocket the 3,000,000 gold coins.
However, just as the people were hesitating, Vidas released the Nature Domain that he had created, and turned the entire Harvest Square into a dense jungle in the blink of an eye. Although there were fewer birds and flowers, the shock that it brought to the people was no less than that of a 20-year-old Legendary-mage. Hence, the crowd became even more confident. Not only did they want to bet on Vidas' victory, but they also wanted to bet as much as possible, even if they would only get a few hundred gold coins in the end. They didn't care about the money, and what could they do with a few hundred gold coins? However, it would be interesting to embarrass the rising star of Roland City.
Sienna was still worried that the people would change their minds, but to his surprise, the elf in the square was rather cooperative. He immediately released his Nature Domain, and the people no longer hesitated. The bets were like the grass in the Nature Domain that grew rapidly, and soon reached 5,000,000 gold coins.
Damn it, where can I find such a good deal? Everyone actually took the initiative to give me money. Sienna was secretly pleased, and wasn't worried at all that Mage Felic would lose in the square. He was a powerful figure who could even break the Legendary Lich's Humerus Domain. What could mere grass and trees do to him?
Sienna was the only one in the stands who was optimistic about the outcome, including Wilkinson and the rest. He had to admit that Ujfalusi had left a deep psychological trauma on him back then, to the extent that Lich Ujfalusi was the most terrifying existence in his heart. Since Mage Felic could defeat this terrifying demon king, he was naturally an omnipotent existence.
Actually, Sienna was somewhat similar to Wilkinson and the rest. Wilkinson and the rest felt that Lin Li was omnipotent in pharmaceutics, while Sienna felt that Lin Li was omnipotent in magic. Hence, they could be considered die-hard fans of Lin Li.
At this moment, Lin Li had already flown into the air, and there was a dense jungle beneath his feet. The canopy of the trees was swaying even though there was no wind, and it sounded like the waves on the green sea. Vidas' strength did not disappoint Lin Li. Judging from the state of the Nature Domain, he reckoned that it should have reached level-22.
Lin Li's actual strength was actually only at level-20, but he didn't feel the slightest bit fearful when facing a level-22 Legendary-mage. If he were to always fight with people who were weaker than him, he would never make any progress. Only by fighting with powerhouses would he be able to truly hone his skills.
Opponents were sometimes rarer than friends, especially for Legendary powerhouses. Generally, it would be difficult to find a suitable opponent that would allow one to fight with all their might without any scruples. Besides, such opponents were usually disposable, and there would be no value in using them again.
Vidas released the Nature Domain that he had created, and the entire Harvest Square was either filled with waist-high grass or towering trees. If Lin Li hadn't flown into the air, the people in the stands wouldn't have been able to see anything at all. The audience was a little dissatisfied. If you want to see the scenery, where can't we see it? You're blocking everything. What else can we see?
However, at this moment, the dense treetops shook violently, and the towering trees swayed their bodies. They actually stood up from the ground and transformed into the Ancient War Trees, the guardians of the elves. Although they had just grown, their wrinkled bark still gave these Ancient War Trees a sense of vicissitudes.
The Ancient War Trees were known as the guardians of the elves. It was said that when the elves escaped into the Emerald Forest, they were chased by a large number of allied forces. The hundreds of elves who survived the disaster were no longer able to resist. At this time, the Goddess of Forest Monferra showed her miracle and transformed hundreds of 10,000-year-old trees into Ancient War Trees, which helped the elves defeat the tens of thousands of allied forces. The elves were finally saved.
However, there was another saying that the Ancient War Trees were actually natives of the Emerald Forest, and were powerful creatures of the same generation as wyrms and Titans. After the elves entered the Emerald Forest, they broke into the territory of the Ancient War Trees, and reached a consensus with them. The Ancient War Trees agreed to provide a certain degree of protection for the elves. At the same time, this also explained why the Goddess of Forest Monferra had given the Emerald Forest to the elves.
Of course, it didn't matter which version was true. The truth was that the Ancient War Trees were indeed the strongest guardians of the elves, and no other forces could encroach on the Emerald Forest. However, although the Ancient War Trees were extremely powerful, they would never step out of the Emerald Forest. Otherwise, the elves would have enough power to wipe out the human nations with just these hundreds of Ancient War Trees.
These Ancient War Trees were all tens of thousands of years old, and each of them was extremely powerful. They could even compete with wyrms. However, to the elves, the power of the Ancient War Trees wasn't the most important. Although these Ancient War Trees had never stepped out of the Emerald Forest, their long lives had allowed them to accumulate extremely profound knowledge.
The elves were originally the servants of the High Elves. Although they weren't forbidden from learning magic, the magic they learned was actually the same as that of humans. However, after coming to the Emerald Forest, the elves not only gained the protection of the Ancient War Trees, but also learned Nature Magic from them that was more suitable for their race.
At this moment, the Ancient War Trees that were born in Vidas' Nature Magical Domain naturally couldn't be the real Ancient War Trees that protected the Elven Kingdom.
If the real Ancient War Trees appeared, Lin Li would definitely not continue fighting even if there were only one or two of them. He would immediately run as far away as he could. There had to be a limit to training. Exceeding the limit would be self-torture, and any further would be suicide.
The Ancient War Trees in the domain could actually only be called treants. It was just a high-level Nature Magic that could turn ordinary trees into intelligent treants. Moreover, among the Nature Magic, other than transforming trees into Ents, there was also magic that could transform animals and magical beasts into Orcs.
Apart from being amazed, the onlookers also found it a little strange. Lin Li had already flown into the air, so what was the point of Vidas creating these treants? Could they be flying too? Most people also knew that it was impossible for a real Ancient War Tree to appear here. It was said that a real Ancient War Tree could even catch a giant dragon, let alone a flying Magician.
Vidas stood on the head of the tallest treant and looked up at Lin Li who was in midair with a contemptuous sneer on his face. Although this human mage had reached the Legendary-realm at such a young age, even Lin Li had to admire his talent in magic. However, since he had met Lin Li today, this genius mage of the Human Race was destined to become a part of history.
