Elder Randy was indescribably touched, because everyone could tell how important the crystal ball was to the elves. No one would miss such an opportunity to extort a fortune from the elves. However, this human mage didn't hesitate to give up this opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and only asked for the price of the herbs to be lowered symbolically.
After hearing Lin Li's answer, Princess Elune and the other elves even began to blame themselves for their previous views. They didn't expect that there would be such a magnanimous person among the humans. They had really misunderstood him in the past. Even if they were in Lin Li's shoes, they probably wouldn't have done that. What is this? This is broad-mindedness!
Cheyenne couldn't help but glance at Lin Li strangely. Although he didn't understand Lin Li's abilities, he had been in contact with Lin Li for a long time, after all. Hence, he was well aware of Lin Li's character. He didn't believe Lin Li's words at all. What friend? Lin Li was just a greedy guy. He definitely didn't give up such a good opportunity because they had gone through hardships together.
However, no matter what, Elder Randy had already achieved his goal. Although he still felt that he had treated Lin Li unfairly, he had no choice but to temporarily wrong Lin Li for the sake of the interests of the elves.
Looking at the guilty elves, Lin Li quietly walked to the side and gave Elder Randy some space to collect the crystal ball.
Few people would not bring any Spatial Magic Equipment when exploring treasures. Elder Randy first smiled at Lin Li to express his gratitude before turning to face the huge crystal ball. He then slowly opened his hand and pressed it on the surface of the crystal ball.
After Elder Randy put away the crystal ball, the hall suddenly became much more spacious. Although there were still many high-level magical items, they didn't attract anyone's interest at all. After a short discussion, they decided to continue exploring the second floor of the tower. However, after seeing the crystal ball, they really couldn't imagine what could be more valuable than the crystal ball on the second floor of the tower.
At the side of the hall, they found the stairs that led to the second floor. The squandering behavior of the High Elves could no longer arouse their amazement. Stepping on the stairs that were similar to ordinary stairs but looked extremely luxurious, they slowly walked to the second floor of the tower.
When they saw the second floor of the tower, the people who were used to the extravagance of the High Elves were still shocked by what they saw. But this time, what scared them was not the luxurious decorations, but the fact that there were almost no decorations inside.
There was no need to go through any corridors. A spacious hall appeared in front of them. However, the lighting in this hall was very dim. It was the complete opposite of the first floor. This place didn't look like a Magic Tower at all. It looked more like an abandoned grocery warehouse, and there were indeed a lot of boxes stacked inside.
Everyone looked at each other, only to see the same astonishment on each other's faces. Could it be that the High Elves were only putting in effort on the surface and using all the good stuff on the first floor without caring about what was going on above?
Walking into the hall that looked like a warehouse, or rather, a warehouse, everyone couldn't help but frown. They couldn't imagine that there would be such a place in the territory of the High Elves.
The stacked wooden boxes seemed to have decayed under the baptism of time. The patterns on them might have been very beautiful, but they now looked even more mottled. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground and on the wooden boxes. It was a miracle that the dust did not cover the place after more than 1,300 years of no one cleaning it.
It was also the only place where people could truly feel the ruthlessness of time. This was the most powerful magic in the world. Even the glorious civilization created by the High Elves couldn't avoid being worn down by the merciless years. The dusty warehouse and the old wooden boxes were a reflection of the decline of the High Elves.
However, although everything here looked a little dilapidated, almost everyone couldn't help but open their mouths after sensing the amazing magical waves emitted from the wooden boxes.
The seemingly inconspicuous wooden boxes were all emitting extremely strong magical waves, as if they couldn't wait to summon everyone to quickly open the wooden boxes so that they could regain their glory after being sealed for thousands of years. Sensing the violent and aggressive magical waves, there was no doubt that the wooden boxes contained powerful magical equipment from the era of the High Elves.
Everyone approached one of the wooden boxes, and Cheyenne used a small magic spell to clear the dust on it. He then reached out to grab the lid and slowly opened it. However, when he saw what was inside, Cheyenne was so shocked that he almost closed the lid. The others couldn't hide the shock on their faces as they stared at the contents of the box. Not to mention Cheyenne, even Elder Randy couldn't take his eyes off it for even a second.
As everyone had expected, there were dozens of magic staffs neatly placed in the opened box. However, no one would have thought that the craftsmanship of the magic staffs was so exquisite that it could almost be described as perfect. Every mageweath and array could be considered perfect. The only flaw was that the magical crystal at the top seemed to be a little dim.
However, it was the somewhat dim magical crystal that made everyone let out an involuntary cry of surprise. The Dark Moon Staff!
Yes, no one in Anril would be able to remain calm when the Dark Moon Magic Staff was placed in front of them.
Legend had it that when the High Elves ruled Anril, there were two moons in the night sky. One was called the Golden Moon, and the other was called the Dark Moon. The Golden Moon was seen as a symbol of peace, harvest, and kindness. The Dark Moon, on the other hand, symbolized war, disaster, and evil.
During the Dark Age, apart from the Sky Castles that were known to never fall, the High Elves were undoubtedly the powerful Magic Legion that was a nightmare for the races that were ruled. They were the elites of the High Elves who had the best bloodline, the strongest talent in magic, and the best magical equipment. They were invincible in Anril, and any enemies that stood in their way would be crushed mercilessly.
They suppressed all forces that resisted the empress, be it the races that were ruled or the royals of the High Elves. They swept through the Endless Abyss, and even the powerful Demon Lords could only lower their heads in front of them. As long as the empress waved her scepter, they would kill the enemy mercilessly even if the enemy was a deity.
It could be said that the Magic Legion had left an impression on people in Anril that was not inferior to the Sky Castles. One of the magical equipment used by the members of the Magic Legion was the Dark Moon Magic Staff that was lying quietly in the box at this moment.
Everyone took a deep breath and looked around. Since the Dark Moon Magic Staff was stored in this wooden box, the other wooden boxes should undoubtedly contain the standard equipment of the Magic Legion. That was not a wild guess. The equipment of the Magic Legion was extremely difficult to create, and the materials needed were very precious. Even the High Elves couldn't create it endlessly even with the huge resources they had. Otherwise, they would have long established a larger Magic Legion. Hence, the creation of each piece of equipment had a strict plan. It was impossible to create a large number of Dark Moon Magic Staffs without any other equipment.
Since the Dark Moon Magic Staff was here, the other boxes probably contained the Faro's Robe and the Blade of Heartbreaker. Those three pieces of magical equipment were the three essential standard equipment of the Magic Legion. Although they were called standard equipment, the craftsmanship of each piece could be considered exquisite. In terms of the techniques used, each piece of equipment could be considered the best of its kind.
Take the Dark Moon Magic Staff for example. Although there was still a huge difference in power compared to the Helios' Scepter, the various techniques used were definitely not inferior to the Helios' Scepter, be it the mageweaths or the arrays. The reason why the Dark Moon Magic Staff was not as powerful as the Helios' Scepter was probably because of the difference in the materials used. After all, the materials used for the Helios' Scepter could not meet the production needs of standard equipment at all. In fact, it was impossible to create a second one.
As for the Faro's Robe and Blade of Heartshatter, it was the same principle as the Dark Moon Staff. The materials used were the best materials that could meet the requirements of standard equipment production, and the various techniques used were definitely at the peak of their respective types of equipment.
During the Dark Age, only the Magic Legion that was absolutely loyal to the queen had the right to use those three pieces of equipment. Apart from the Magic Legion, even the royal family of the High Elves did not have the right to use them at all.
Now, looking at the wooden boxes around them, they could at least equip hundreds of mages. It could be considered a weakened version of the Magic Legion. Although it could not be compared to the Magic Legion of the High Elves, it was definitely a powerful force in Anril that no force dared to belittle.
No one could resist such a temptation. Cheyenne's hand that was holding onto the lid of the wooden box trembled uncontrollably. Although he did not say anything, he stared straight at Lin Li. As for the elves, they were no longer in his consideration. He didn't even spare them a glance.
The greatest function of the crystal ball on the first floor was to provide unbreakable protection. Although it could protect the Malfa Family from being invaded, it played a relatively small role in the development of the Malfa Family. If he could obtain this batch of powerful magical equipment, the Malfa Family would have a powerful Magic Legion, and that would be the real opportunity for the Malfa Family to rise.
Hence, after seeing the Dark Moon Staff, Cheyenne's reluctance to give up on the crystal ball was immediately thrown to the back of his mind. However, whether or not he could obtain this batch of equipment depended on the young president of the Tower of Dusk.
After knowing that the three standard equipment of the Magic Legion were stored here, Elder Randy was extremely regretful despite looking calm on the surface. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have fought for the crystal ball previously. How could something that could only be used for defense compare to this batch of powerful magical equipment?
After all, the crystal ball was a dead object. Even if it was used in the end, it would at most buy some time for the elves. However, if he could obtain this batch of equipment, the elves would be able to have a powerful force. Not only would they be able to form an effective deterrent to other forces, they would also be able to use it flexibly at critical moments to achieve better results.
However, now that he had already obtained the crystal ball, Elder Randy couldn't possibly ask the other two parties to give him the magical equipment.
Cheyenne stared at Lin Li for a long time, but Lin Li remained calm and did not express his opinion on the magical equipment. Hence, Cheyenne could not tell what he was thinking.
After hesitating for a while, Cheyenne finally couldn't take it anymore. After calming himself down, he said to Lin Li, "Mage Felic, I'm sure you're well aware of the value of this magical equipment. If we split it equally among the three of us, it would just be giving each of us a few more powerful but insignificant subordinates. Hence, I think it's best to concentrate them in the hands of one party in order to maximize their effectiveness.
The Malfa Family really needs such a force, so feel free to raise any conditions you have in exchange. As long as it doesn't harm the foundation of the Malfa Family, I'll agree to it. Besides, if the Tower of Dusk needs the Malfa Family's help in the future, we'll definitely help. "
Cheyenne directly revealed his bottom line, which was originally a taboo in negotiations. However, the current situation was not just a negotiation. Or rather, Cheyenne knew very well that he actually did not have the right to negotiate. Instead of dragging so many useless strings, he might as well be direct and settle the score.
However, Lin Li was impartial. He did not ask for too much from the elves, nor did he intend to make the Malfa Family suffer a huge loss. He simply smiled at Cheyenne, and said, "Master Cheyenne, you're being too serious. The Tower of Dusk and the Malfa Family have been working together for a long time. This time, I'm even invited here by you, Master Cheyenne. No matter what, I can't make things difficult for you. How about this? If I don't raise any conditions, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease. So, I'll just name one. The pharmaceutical market in Aminya City and the surrounding areas has always been a mess. Why don't you hand it over to the Tower of Dusk? "
Upon hearing Lin Li's conditions, Cheyenne felt a surge of gratitude. What a true friend! Cheyenne was surprised and overjoyed. He quickly nodded and agreed to Lin Li's conditions. Isn't it just the pharmaceutical market in Aminya City? What kind of condition is that? Anyway, the potions of the Tower of Dusk have always been very popular.
Watching Cheyenne happily collect the magical equipment, Lin Li stood there without a trace of reluctance on his face. Of course, Lin Li was not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others. The reason why he repeatedly gave in was because he had his own plans. Where was this place? The Central Tower of the Sky Castle was the Immortal King's territory. How could the Immortal King's collection end there? The higher one went, the better the items would be. What was the point of fighting for those items at the front?
