Lin Li could totally guess that during the six months that he was away, all the forces of the Breezy Plains that were slightly famous had probably coveted the Tower of Dusk. Perhaps even the Supreme Council was already preparing a candidate to take over the Tower of Dusk. After all, the Tower of Dusk was still a Guild of Magic under the leadership of the Supreme Council.
The Tower of Dusk, which had just been established for less than two years, had brought too many surprises in such a short period of time. In the beginning, people still doubted if the Tower of Dusk could establish itself in the Breezy Plains. However, with the development of the Tower of Dusk, people began to wonder if the Tower of Dusk would become the third major force alongside the Dark Blade and the Malfa Family. After hearing the news that Lin Li had not left the Haiga Mountain Range, the Tower of Dusk naturally became a juicy piece of meat in everyone's eyes.
However, most people probably did not know where the true value of the Tower of Dusk came from. Without Lin Li, the young President, many of the advantages that the Tower of Dusk originally had would vanish in the following days, and they would soon fall from grace.
It was not that there was anything wrong with the development plan that Lin Li had formulated for the Tower of Dusk. The most fundamental reason was that the Tower of Dusk had only been established for a short period of time. Although the mages of the Tower of Dusk were extremely talented, Lin Li had yet to nurture a talent that could truly support the Tower of Dusk.
The simplest example would be the pharmaceutical business that had continuously brought huge benefits to the Tower of Dusk. Without Lin Li, Wilkinson and the other pharmacists would not have continued to stay. How could a few apprentices continue to maintain the business? If anyone really obtained the Tower of Dusk, they would soon discover that what they had was just a gorgeous shell.
Only when the Tower of Dusk had its own Legendary-mage, Master Pharmacist, Master of Inscription, Master of Smithing, and other Masters of various professions apart from Lin Li would the Tower of Dusk truly have the capital to pass down its legacy for thousands of years. Of course, if the Tower of Dusk really developed to that level, probably no other force would dare to covet the Tower of Dusk again.
The mages of the Tower of Dusk were well aware of that, especially during the six months that Lin Li was away. Things that used to be easy to do had become much more difficult during this period of time, and all sorts of people dared to come and cause trouble for them.
In the past six months, many mages felt confused and perplexed about the future of the Tower of Dusk and themselves, and some even chose to leave midway. After all, half a year's time was too long. Any hope, any firm belief, would be gradually worn away by this long period of time.
However, with Lin Li's domineering return, all the confusion and confusion that plagued the mages of the Tower of Dusk vanished at this moment. Even though they had just experienced a tragic battle of life and death, the only expression on their faces was still unconcealable excitement and agitation. Every mage looked at Lin Li with reverence in their eyes, and even pious faith.
Gavin came to report to Lin Li, who was talking to Gerian, after making the necessary arrangements. There was nothing much to say about cleaning up the battlefield. They just had to kill the enemies that were still alive and save those that could be saved. As for the spoils of war, the Tower of Dusk was not interested in the Dark Blade's goods at all.
However, at the mention of the Tower of Dusk's losses, Gavin could not help but look ashamed. Although the Tower of Dusk still had Wilkinson and other pharmaceutics Masters after Lin Li left, and they never lacked any high-level healing potions, the best potions could not save the dead. In the past six months, the Dark Blade and the Tower of Dusk had been engaged in countless battles. If it weren't for the various high-level healing potions of the Tower of Dusk, there would probably have been more mages who died.
Lin Li did not blame Gavin. In the face of a massive force like the Dark Blade, it was already quite rare for the Tower of Dusk to be able to make it this far after several months of crazy attacks. Although Lin Li was also very distressed about the death of more than 10 mages, he still comforted Gavin, and then asked him to look for the mages of the Malfa Family.
As the first batch of elite mages in the Malfa Family who were equipped with the Dark Moon Staff and the Faro's Robe, Tegel had the right to be proud. With these two powerful magical equipment, the power that he could exert had far exceeded the power that a level-19 mage should have. Although he had not really stepped into the Legendary-realm, he was not completely powerless even when compared to powerhouses who had just entered the Legendary-realm.
This time, Tegel and his companions were actually sent to support the Tower of Dusk for another hidden purpose, and that was to conquer the Tower of Dusk. However, they were not going to conquer the Tower of Dusk by force like the Dark Blade, but by subduing the mages of the Tower of Dusk with the powerful strength that Tegel and his companions had displayed. They wanted to let the mages of the Tower of Dusk know that only the Malfa Family could bring them a future in the Breezy Plains, and that the Malfa Family was their only choice.
Since they were there with the intention of showing off their power and rescuing the mages of the Tower of Dusk, Tegel and his companions were naturally arrogant when they interacted with the mages of the Tower of Dusk. After all, without the Legendary-realm President, the Tower of Dusk, which had only been developing for two years, would be like a motherless child. Even though they had decent strength, they were far inferior to the massive Malfa Family.
However, what Tegel and the others did not expect was that the young President of the Tower of Dusk, who had been missing for half a year, had miraculously appeared again. As soon as he appeared, he displayed power that made even the souls of the elites of the Malfa Family tremble. He severely injured the Legendary-mage Borg of the Dark Blade with a single blow, and defeated the joint forces of two Legendary powerhouses in the blink of an eye. Even Master Cheyenne could not do that.
Tagel followed beside Gavin. Although he was chatting casually, his mind was not on them at all. He recalled anxiously whether they had said or done anything rude after coming to the Tower of Dusk, and whether they had done anything rude when interacting with the mages of the Tower of Dusk. Behind Tegel, the other four mages of the Malfa Family remained silent, and they were equally uneasy.
Tegel and the others had all participated in the trip to the Haiga Mountain Range, and they knew that the young President of the Tower of Dusk was an extremely protective person. He had once disrespected the elves for the sake of his Undead servants. If they accidentally offended someone from the Tower of Dusk, they would be in deep trouble if the petty President of the Tower of Dusk got angry.
Gavin brought Tegel and the others to Lin Li. Lin Li did not speak immediately, and instead sized up the five mages of the Malfa Family. Actually, Lin Li was not very concerned about what the Malfa Family was up to. After all, he was probably the only one who believed that he could escape from the Undead Heaven. Besides, if Cheyenne hadn't sent the five mages, he might have lost more people.
Although Lin Li was much younger than them, the scene of him defeating the two Legendary powerhouses was still fresh in their minds. Hence, they did not dare to belittle him. Tegel panicked under Lin Li's gaze, but he bit the bullet, and said, "Congratulations on your return, President Felic. I believe Teacher will be very happy to hear about your return."
"Oh, you're Master Cheyenne's disciple? Is Master Cheyenne alright? "Lin Li finally looked away and gestured for Gavin to invite the five of them to take a seat.
"After Teacher returned from the Haiga Mountain Range, he mentioned more than once that we wouldn't have gained so much if not for your help, President Felic. This time, Teacher originally planned to come over personally, but when he was studying the magic books he brought back, he suddenly had an epiphany and had a breakthrough opportunity. Hence, he asked the five of us to come over first to help. " Tegel heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully observed the young President's expression while explaining.
Lin Li then asked about the current situation of the Malfa Family, and gained some understanding of the development of the Malfa Family in the past six months. After Cheyenne returned, he did not immediately attack the Dark Blade. After all, it would take more than a day or two to transform the gains of the Sky Castle into the strength of the Malfa Family. The Dark Blade had an extremely strong foundation, and even though they had lost a Legendary leader, Borg and Baldela were not easy to deal with.
Cheyenne's gains in the Sky Castle included more than 100 sets of magical equipment from the High Elves' Magic Legion, a Legendary-level Winged Angel, a large number of high-level magic books, and the blueprint of the Tower of Death. Apart from the powerful combat power of the Winged Angel that could rapidly increase the strength of the Malfa Family, the rest could not be used immediately.
Those magical equipment could increase anyone's strength, but no one would hand over such precious magical equipment to someone they didn't trust. There were many outstanding mages in the Malfa Family, but Cheyenne had only taken out seven sets of magical equipment after inspecting them for so long. Apart from Tegel and the others who came to the Tower of Dusk, only Adelo and Hutton were qualified to use them.
As for the Tower of Death, Lin Li did not have to ask around to guess that it would be extremely difficult for the Malfa Family to build the Tower of Death with their current strength. Putting aside the technical aspects, just the various precious materials required would probably be far from enough even if they emptied the Malfa Family's treasure vault.
Cheyenne, on the other hand, was said to be very confident of breaking through to level-22 this time after going through a series of battles and studying the magic books. In order to step into the Legendary-realm as soon as possible, Adelo and Hutton had been learning from Cheyenne. Hutton, in particular, seemed to have been stimulated after hearing about Stephen, and had been studying very hard for the past six months.
Tegel chatted with Lin Li for a while, and saw that the young President's attitude was still good. Hence, he carefully requested to leave. Now that President Felic had just returned, and no one had a chance to snitch on him, it would be better for him to leave as soon as possible. If this dragged on for too long, it would not be easy for him to leave if someone he had no impression of, such as a janitor or a janitor, came out to snitch on him.
Lin Li roughly understood the situation of the Malfa Family, and did not think much of it when Tegel asked to leave. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he asked Tegel to pass a message to Cheyenne to express his gratitude, and then asked Gavin to send them off.
"Am I that scary?" Seeing that Tegel and the others left hurriedly without a moment's delay, Lin Li could not help but ask Gerian, who was beside him, in amusement.
Gerian squinted his eyes, and the fat on his face twitched twice. He gave Lin Li a look of extreme disdain, and angrily said, "Hmph, you don't know how arrogant these guys were when they came. It's as if they look down on people all day long. You rascal, you disappeared for half a year, and everyone in the Tower of Dusk dares to take a sh * t on us. "
"Is that so? Do you want me to catch them now and help you vent your anger?" Lin Li asked jokingly. However, he could also tell from Gerian's complaint that the Tower of Dusk was in the current situation.
Although there were many forces of various sizes in the Breezy Plains, not all of them had Legendary powerhouses, and the Tower of Dusk was still stronger than most forces when Lin Li was not around. However, the attacks of the Dark Blade had restrained most of the power of the Tower of Dusk, and they could not spare any energy to deal with the clowns.
In the past six months, the businesses of the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains had been hit to varying degrees. Some of them collected protection fees, some of them smashed and robbed, and some even occupied the shops by force. Anyway, in their opinion, the Tower of Dusk without a Legendary powerhouse would be destroyed by the Dark Blade sooner or later.
Even in the nearby Doland City, many pharmacies were looted, and the only ones that were not affected were the businesses in Aminya City. The other forces probably dared not touch them because the Malfa Family had long regarded them as their property.
Lin Li tapped his fingers on the table gently, and his eyes narrowed slightly. However, there was a strange sneer on his lips. He suddenly remembered the words of a famous person before he transmigrated, "If you take what's mine, send it all back to me. If you eat what's mine, spit it all out!"
Lin Li had never been a magnanimous person. Although his state of mind had changed a lot after entering the Legendary-realm, he would still show no mercy to those who dared to offend him. Indeed, with Lin Li's current state of mind as a Legendary powerhouse, those below the Legendary-realm were like insignificant ants to him. However, if the insignificant ant insisted on crawling on him, he wouldn't mind squashing it to death.
However, it was not the time to settle the score now. Although the Tower of Dusk did not suffer too many casualties during the consecutive battles, they had also exposed some shortcomings. After all, Lin Li was not a god, and it was impossible for him to take every possibility into account. Besides, the Tower of Dusk was not very rich when it was first established, and there were many places that were limited by the conditions.
