"Mage Felic, this is considered a decent force. I'm afraid there are few forces in the entire Breezy Plains that can compete with it," Cheyenne consoled. Of course, he had already excluded the Malfa Family in his heart. As long as the Tower of Death was built, the Malfa Family would be able to groom a large number of high-level mages in a short period of time. By then, the Malfa Family would be able to walk out of the Breezy Plains and become the top family in the entire Anril.
"Yeah, Mage Felic, don't be discouraged. Even if you've finished searching this floor, the entire tower has yet to be searched. Who knows, you might have even greater gains up there," Elder Randy advised Lin Li hypocritically while suppressing the smugness in his heart. He did not want this young mage to request for a redistribution of the loot just because he was dissatisfied with their gains.
To be honest, Cheyenne and Elder Randy's worries were not without reason. The strength that this young mage had displayed in battle time and time again had shocked everyone, and they were even a little afraid of him that they were unwilling to admit. The so-called tacit understanding was not even a verbal agreement. If this young mage really wanted to set the rules again, no one would have a reason to object.
However, Lin Li once again proved to everyone how noble and virtuous he was. Facing the 20 alchemy puppets that were obviously incomparable to the Magic Tides and the Tower of Death, Lin Li only smiled at Elder Randy and Cheyenne before putting them away without hesitation.
What a joke, if the Magic Tides were really that perfect, I wouldn't have thrown it to you guys. Lin Li put away the 20 alchemy puppets with satisfaction, but in his heart, he was cursing the two people who were hypocritically trying to comfort him.
That's right, since the notebook that recorded the Magic Tides had appeared in the area that Lin Li had searched, how could it have been missed? Lin Li was not that careless. It would be an intolerable loss to miss out on something that was truly valuable.
However, Lin Li's attainments in alchemy might not be comparable to that of the omnipotent Immortal King, but in the current Anril, there was probably no one who could compare to him. Although the Magic Tide Array had only appeared once in history and hadn't been recorded in any alchemy works, it had never been recorded. However, many of the principles of alchemy were similar. Lin Li simply flipped through the notebook, and knew that the Magic Tide Alchemy Array was not as perfect as people thought.
All arrays needed a mana source, just like how everyone needed a heart. The more powerful the array, the more powerful a mana source was needed. This was a very simple principle. Even the Magic Tide created by the High Elves couldn't generate power out of thin air. The mana source of the magic tides was the Tree of Eternity. Only the Tree of Eternity's almost infinite power could support such a powerful Alchemy Array, allowing the High Elves to squander it recklessly.
But what did the elves have? The Sierra Leone Forest? Lin Li knew that the elves would have such an idea, but the Sierra Leone Forest didn't have the Tree of Eternity. Although the Sierra Leone Forest was now full of vitality, if it really provided power for the magic tides, it wouldn't take long for the entire forest to become a land of exile again.
Of course, perhaps by then, the elves would already have a powerful force with the help of the magic tides, and would have the ability to walk out of the Sierra Leone Forest. Hence, they wouldn't care about what the Sierra Leone Forest would become. However, the power brought by the magic tides didn't belong to them, after all. Although it felt like bathing in divine light, it was also addictive and addictive.
Once the elves were addicted to this feeling and the easy way to obtain power, they would become dependent on the power brought by the magic tides. Then, it was completely foreseeable that the entire elven race wouldn't need any external enemies. They would also gradually weaken under the protection of the magic tides until they were completely annihilated in the long river of history.
In short, in Lin Li's eyes, the magic tides, which seemed to be the most valuable thing to others, was actually the most worthless. It wasn't even as valuable as the Tower of Death that Cheyenne had obtained. The Tower of Death could nurture powerful Warriors and experienced mages. It was just that this was an extremely cruel battlefield, and people still had to rely on their own hard work to obtain everything.
The Tower of Death was indeed a rather good item, but it still wasn't enough to tempt Lin Li. Cruel environments, battles, and killings had always been considered the best way to stimulate one's potential. However, mages weren't Warriors.
Through the nurturing of the Tower of Death, the Malfa Family could indeed obtain a large number of high-level mages in a very short period of time. In particular, the battle experience gained through endless killings would allow these high-level mages to unleash greater combat power.
However, the growth of a mage wasn't just about the accumulation of mana, nor was it about the understanding of killing in battles like the Warriors. What they needed was the understanding of the nomological power. The high-level mages that were nurtured through blood and battles could only be a bunch of killing machines. They didn't understand the true mystery of magic, and it was impossible for them to understand what the nomological power was.
In other words, no matter how determined or talented the mages that were nurtured through the Tower of Death were, they would only be able to reach the Archmage realm. There would always be an insurmountable gap between them and the Legendary-realm. No matter how close they were to the Legendary-realm, they wouldn't be able to open the door to the realm.
Actually, Lin Li believed that Cheyenne was very clear about these problems regarding the Tower of Death. However, the Malfa Family was a huge family with a huge business. The title of the top family in the Breezy Plains wasn't just for show. Just by looking at this operation, the Malfa Family had mobilized a lot of forces. The team was made up of elites above level-15. Although there were hired adventurers, the main force was still the disciples of the family.
To the Malfa Family, 100 Archmages who couldn't even reach the Legendary-realm were definitely 100 times better than 100 Magic Shooters. Moreover, not everyone in this world had the opportunity to enter the Legendary-realm. The Malfa Family had ruled Aminya for so many years, and they had countless disciples. They didn't have to worry about this problem at all.
However, if it was the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li wouldn't be willing to pay such a price in exchange for the limited increase in strength of the Tower of Dusk. Lin Li didn't build the Tower of Dusk to handle missions from the Supreme Council. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much effort on the Tower of Dusk.
The Tower of Dusk was no longer in a predicament where no one cared about it when it was first built. With all kinds of generous benefits, the Tower of Dusk had become a Guild of Magic that almost all mages in the Breezy Plains yearned to join.
Of course, Lin Li wouldn't let the Tower of Dusk that he had painstakingly built become a shelter for useless people. Hence, as the benefits increased, the threshold to join the Tower of Dusk also increased. There weren't many mages in the Tower of Dusk now, but it could be said that every one of them was extremely talented in magic.
Perhaps not all of them could become Legendary-mages, but Lin Li couldn't bear to let these talented mages become killing machines with no future.
More importantly, be it the Magic Tides or the Tower of Death, no matter how terrifyingly powerful they were, they were still on paper.
What Cheyenne had was only the blueprint of the Tower of Death. Although he had just obtained a few core materials, he still had a long way to go before he could build the real Tower of Death.
The Tower of Death was just a toy of the royal High Elves, but Cheyenne couldn't compare to the royal High Elves in terms of wealth. Even though the Malfa Family had been operating in the Breezy Plains for many years, it wasn't easy for them to gather all the materials. After gathering all the materials, where were the skills needed to build the tower? Just the Teleportation Portal alone might not even be able to be drawn according to the blueprint.
As for the Magic Tides that the elves had obtained, it was even more useless. It was just an incomplete notebook. Although most of the content was preserved, it would be a long and arduous goal for them to complete the notebook and accumulate enough materials.
The 20 alchemy puppets made of Shadow Iron, or Shadow Assassins, were only close to the Legendary-level. It seemed that they couldn't be compared to the Magic Tides or the Tower of Death. However, these Shadow Assassins didn't have to pay any price, nor did they have to wait for a long time. They could unleash powerful combat power as soon as they got their hands on them.
The only thing Lin Li had to do was to study the two alchemy cores he had obtained before leaving instructions to control them in the alchemy cores of these Shadow Assassins. By then, these 20 Shadow Assassins would become one of the most important combat forces of the Tower of Dusk, and become the nightmares of the enemies of the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li put away the 20 alchemy puppets, which meant that the previous agreement was still in effect. Chief Elder Randy and Cheyenne secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, despite the huge gains, they wouldn't stop there. After all, they were in the laboratory of the Immortal King, and the gains they had already obtained gave them more hope.
All the rubbish in the huge laboratory had been carefully searched, and everyone's footprints were left in all the rooms. It was only at this moment that they realized how lucky they were. The warehouse where the materials were stored was almost empty, leaving behind some rubbish that wasn't worth much outside. All the notes and documents were either taken away or turned into ashes on the floor.
This laboratory was probably the greatest treasure in this tower, but unfortunately, it had been plundered by the person who came first. Everyone cursed the mysterious person in their hearts, but the outcome wasn't too unacceptable. At least they didn't end up empty-handed.
With some joy, some regret, and some cursing at the person who came first, they walked through the rubbish and towards the door of the laboratory.
"Osric, it must be Osric. I can feel that he's been here!"
Lin Li, who was thought to be in a bad mood, suddenly heard Connoris' voice in his head.
"Osric? Why are you talking about that fella again? This is the laboratory of the Immortal King. Are you sure you're right? "Although Lin Li's expression didn't change, he was extremely shocked, and couldn't help but slow down.
"I can't be wrong. When Osric was building the Eternal Furnace, I stayed with him for hundreds of years. I definitely can't be wrong about his aura." Connoris was very certain about his intuition, especially since it was his enemy who had sealed him in the hammer for countless years.
Chief Elder Randy, Cheyenne, and the others remained silent. They walked to the door of the laboratory, only to realize that Lin Li and the others didn't follow them out. However, it didn't matter, because the entire laboratory had already been searched. Although the young Magician chose to maintain their original tacit understanding, anyone would feel uncomfortable in such a situation.
However, at this moment, Lin Li, who everyone thought was dejected, returned to a room that had been searched before under Connoris' guidance.
"Such a huge laboratory makes people have no concept of its size at all. Hence, they tend to overlook some hidden things." While muttering, Lin Li slowly slid his inscription pen along a certain invisible trajectory on the smooth wall of the room.
Although thousands of years had passed, Connoris could still clearly sense that Osric's aura was the most obvious here. In other words, Osric had stayed here for a long time.
With a soft mechanical sound, the wall slowly cracked open, revealing a small hidden room. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the room. There was only a table with a piece of paper on it. That was not unexpected to Lin Li. Knowing that Osric had been here before, how could he expect Osric to leave anything valuable for him?
Walking into the room, Lin Li picked up the piece of paper on the table, which was filled with various alchemy formulas and some extremely complicated calculations. However, due to the fact that it was incomplete, Lin Li couldn't see any clues from the contents of the paper. However, there was a sentence written in the High Elves Language at the back of the paper, which roughly meant, "Where did Teacher put that thing?"
Seeing that title, Lin Li was immediately shocked. If this was left behind by Osric, then the rumor that he was the disciple of the Immortal King would be true. At the same time, Lin Li also understood why the laboratory had become like this. It seemed that the person who had been cursed countless times by everyone should be Osric. He was the one who had emptied all the valuable things here.
