In terms of size, there was probably no other crystal ball in the entire Anril that could compare to it. However, in order to fully utilize the full value of the crystal ball, everyone searched through all the mageweaths in their memories, and even the mageweaths that only existed in legends, did not seem to be able to do it.
Although the mageweaths that he was familiar with would definitely be able to exert greater power on this huge crystal ball, Lin Li could not help but feel that the mageweaths would definitely be more powerful. However, it was still far from making the best use of the crystal ball. It was simply an insult and a waste of the crystal ball, just like using a Legendary magical crystal to cast a level-one spell.
However, when they approached the crystal ball, they discovered that there were already complicated patterns that seemed to be mageweaths on the crystal ball. However, with everyone's knowledge, no one could tell what kind of mageweath the layers of complicated patterns that did not affect the crystal ball's brightness and transparency at all were.
Although they did not know what kind of mageweath it was, everyone knew that although the High Elves led extravagant lives, they would definitely not draw any boring, low-level mageweath on the crystal ball. Besides, it was precisely because of their extravagance that the mageweath had to be of the highest level, and could fully unleash the value of the crystal ball.
Although the mageweath was a little mysterious to everyone, Lin Li, who was a Guru of Inscription, was not completely clueless. Strictly speaking, it was a mageweath array formed by 13 illusory mageweaths surrounding the crystal ball. The illusion produced by the mageweath array formed by the 13 Illusory Mageweath could definitely be described as terrifying. As long as the controller of the crystal ball was willing, he could make any unwelcome intruder unable to find his way out forever. It was even more powerful than the Orderly Maze that he had experienced previously.
"Mage Felic, do you recognize the mageweath on this crystal ball?" Elder Randy could tell from Lin Li's expression that he seemed to have understood something. Hence, he immediately asked sincerely and humbly.
If it were in the past, Elder Randy would definitely feel disdain for Lin Li even if he didn't say anything. It was not easy for a young mage who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm to achieve such an achievement. How could he have the spare energy to dabble in other aspects of knowledge?
However, the miracles that happened time and time again made Elder Randy dare not make any rash judgments about Lin Li. Even if he felt that his evaluation of this Mage Felic was already very high, the truth would tell him that it was still far from it.
Besides, Elder Randy was not the only one. After hearing Elder Randy's question to Lin Li, everyone else shifted their gaze away from the crystal ball in unison, and focused on Lin Li. Besides, none of them had a trace of doubt in their eyes. It was as if Lin Li had said the answer, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
Although the value of the crystal ball was rare, Lin Li had his own plans. Hence, after hearing Elder Randy's question, he did not hide the illusion mageweath array from everyone. He even briefly described the effects of the illusion mageweath array.
As soon as Lin Li finished explaining, everyone, including Elder Randy, couldn't help but gasp and turn to look at the huge crystal ball with a burning gaze. Although Lin Li did not mention the level of the illusion mageweath array, everyone knew that it was definitely not something that a Master of Inscription could draw after hearing its effects.
Such a huge crystal ball, coupled with the powerful Illusory Mageweath Array, was probably a divine artifact! Cheyenne could not contain his excitement at all, and he really wanted to move the crystal ball back to Aminya City immediately.
The Malfa Family and the Dark Blade had been fighting for many years, but the Malfa Family had always been at a disadvantage because of the three leaders of the Dark Blade. After Cheyenne stepped into the Legendary-realm, he thought that he could finally get rid of the disadvantage, but to his surprise, the three leaders of the Dark Blade had also advanced to the Legendary-realm one after another. Not only did the situation not change, but it also made it harder for Cheyenne to hold on. If it weren't for the setting in Aminya City, the Malfa Family would have probably been destroyed by the Dark Blade.
However, even then, the Dark Blade had attacked Aminya City several times, and each time, they would bring great losses to the Malfa Family. This time, Cheyenne hoped to find something that could balance the power of the two families, or even suppress the Dark Blade, during the exploration of the Immortal King's treasure.
Now, the huge crystal ball in front of Cheyenne was simply a treasure that he had dreamed of. Although the crystal ball could not be used to attack, the terrifying power of the illusion mageweath array would be enough to make the Malfa Family invincible in the battle against the Dark Blade after it was placed in Aminya City.
Besides, there was another advantage, and that was that Cheyenne could extricate himself from it. After Cheyenne stepped into the Legendary-realm, he could only stay in Aminya City in order to guard against the Dark Blade's attacks. As long as he left, the Malfa Family would probably be destroyed. With the crystal ball and the powerful Illusory Mageweath Array, Cheyenne would no longer have to worry about the Malfa Family being attacked and destroyed while he was away, be it when he was fighting against the Dark Blade or traveling around Anril.
However, at this moment, Cheyenne was very clear that he could not decide the final ownership of the crystal ball, because there were still the elves and the Tower of Dusk. The elves lived in the Emerald Forest, so they might not need such a defensive treasure, but the Tower of Dusk might not be the same. Although President Felic was so powerful that he could not see through him, the Tower of Dusk was a newly established force, after all. Hence, they probably needed such a treasure with super defensive abilities more than Cheyenne did.
However, Cheyenne's thoughts were somewhat different from reality. Elder Randy of the elves was the one who also valued the crystal ball. Although the Elven Kingdom seemed to be developing well, as the eighth elder of the Emerald Council, Elder Randy had to consider the future of the elves.
The elves had been operating in the Emerald Forest for many years. Although they had such a natural barrier, they had a small population, after all, and their reproduction speed could not be compared to that of humans. Hence, they would only be left behind. Now, the elves still had many powerhouses, and the human kingdoms had been restraining each other. Hence, the elves had been surviving steadily.
However, who could guarantee that the human kingdoms would not form a new alliance or even become a huge empire that unified Anril in the future? When that time came, the natural barrier of the Emerald Forest might not be able to protect the elves. That was definitely not a groundless worry, but an inevitable development of history. It was just a matter of time.
Such a crystal ball might not be enough to make the elves invincible forever, but it could win precious time for the elves in the most dangerous situation. This period of time was not to be underestimated, as many things could change during this period of time. This period of time could possibly save the elves from extinction, and even affect the situation of the entire Anril.
Hence, although the Elven Kingdom might not need this crystal ball now, they had to be prepared for any changes in order to ensure the continuation of the elves in the future. Elder Randy would not tell others about this, but he had made it clear that he was determined to get the crystal ball.
For a moment, although no one said much, their attitude was very clear.
After a moment of silence, Elder Randy took the lead and said to Cheyenne, "Mage Cheyenne, I think we should have a good discussion about the ownership of this crystal ball."
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Cheyenne's ally was Lin Li, Elder Randy wouldn't have been so polite to Cheyenne at all. After all, many things depended on one's abilities. In the current situation, it was obvious who was stronger between the elves and Cheyenne. The only variable was Lin Li.
Upon hearing Elder Randy's words, Cheyenne's heart immediately sank. He could already imagine the outcome. However, Cheyenne was still a little unwilling to give up on the crystal ball. Hence, he nodded and followed Elder Randy to the side to discuss the final ownership of the crystal ball.
While Elder Randy and Cheyenne were discussing the ownership of the crystal ball, Lin Li walked around the crystal ball slowly and casually. Lin Li was not as concerned about the crystal ball as the other two parties. If the crystal ball had not been engraved with mageweaths, he might have considered it, but now …
Although the crystal ball engraved with the mageweath array was very powerful, it wasn't powerful enough for Lin Li to be determined to get it. Lin Li was the one who designed the Tower of Dusk, and the defensive capabilities of the Tower of Dusk had always been his top priority. The Tower of Dusk already had too many defensive items that were far stronger than offensive ones. The All-Kill Array alone was much more powerful than the mageweath array. Besides, there were dozens of Magical Crystal Cannons that had already been purchased, as well as the Sky-breaker that was scheduled to be built and installed. Even without the Eternal Furnace, the defensive capabilities of the Tower of Dusk could only be described as impregnable.
Hence, Lin Li wasn't too concerned about the crystal ball. He simply let Elder Randy and Cheyenne discuss whatever they wanted, and they would naturally look for him after they came to an agreement.
On the other side, Elder Randy and Cheyenne seemed to be discussing something. Although their words weren't intense, it was obvious that neither of them wanted to give in easily. Lin Li walked around the crystal ball, and the discussion between Elder Randy and Cheyenne finally came to an end. After all, the elves were rich and overbearing. Faced with the various conditions set by Elder Randy, Cheyenne finally nodded helplessly.
However, to Cheyenne, the outcome of the discussion wasn't considered a loss, even though it was a pity that he had to give up the ownership of the crystal ball. In particular, Elder Randy was wary of Lin Li, and thus didn't use any means to oppress him during the discussion.
Elder Randy knew that what Cheyenne was worried about was nothing more than the threat of the Dark Blade. Hence, he used that as a breakthrough point at the beginning of the discussion. Although he didn't directly say that he would help Cheyenne get rid of the Dark Blade, he also offered to give the Malfa Family some of the cooperation projects that he had with the Dark Blade in addition to compensating them for the crystal ball.
However, that alone didn't make Cheyenne feel any less worried, because the threat of the Dark Blade still existed. Hence, Elder Randy proposed military support, just like how he had treated the castellan of Roland City back then. He wanted to send a team of elves to give the Malfa Family some military support.
In fact, no matter what kind of team the elves sent, the Dark Blade wouldn't dare to attack the Malfa Family easily as long as the elves were in Aminya City. After all, even in the past, the Dark Blade wouldn't dare to fall out with the elves, not to mention now that they had lost a lot of power.
After reaching an agreement with Cheyenne, Elder Randy approached Lin Li, and anxiously said, "Mage Felic, we've already discussed with Mage Cheyenne, and he's agreed to give up his ownership of the crystal ball. I wonder what Mage Felic thinks about this crystal ball. "
How could Elder Randy not be anxious? Back when he asked Lin Li to give the elves the antidote, he not only promised Lin Li many things, but also gave him the Star-scarred Robe of the Queldana Family. Given the value of the crystal ball, God knew how much Lin Li was going to take the opportunity to extort them. Princess Elune and the other two elves were just as nervous as Elder Randy, and they were all waiting for Lin Li to demand an exorbitant price.
Lin Li gently stroked the surface of the crystal ball with a smile on his face, and calmly said, "Elder Randy, you're being too polite. Although this crystal ball is also very important to the Tower of Dusk, we've gone through so many difficulties together, after all. It's not an exaggeration to say that we're friends. How about this, if I don't raise any conditions, you'll definitely feel bad. Didn't we talk about buying herbs before? Why don't we lower the price by 10% on that basis? "
"W-what?" Elder Randy couldn't believe his ears at all. Is this what the greedy and insatiable human said in his impression?
Although Elder Randy couldn't help but be impressed by Lin Li's abilities, he never had much hope for Lin Li's character. Besides, Lin Li's extraordinary abilities were precisely the reason that Elder Randy was prepared to pay a huge price.
However, to Elder Randy's surprise, Lin Li suddenly changed his attitude, and actually said that he would lower the price of the herbs by 10%. That was nothing to the elves. It seemed that Lin Li was just punishing the arrogance of the elves previously. In fact, Lin Li was really a good person.
