Horsin and the other mages stared blankly at the distance in front of them. The surging dust and mist dissipated, and the stronghold of the Poison Fire Bandits seemed to have never existed in this world. Everything disappeared without a trace in an instant. There was no village, nor was there anyone. There was only a huge ravine, which made the originally ordinary valley look a little more precipitous.
"Let's go back," Lin Li said to Horsin and the other mages as he descended.
Horsin swallowed his saliva forcefully, and said with difficulty, "Yes, Mr. President!"
Oh my God, is this the power of a Legendary powerhouse!? Although Lin Li had already shown great power when he defeated Borg and Baldela of the Dark Blade in the Tower of Dusk, the scene at that time was far less shocking than it was now. However, the scene back then was not as shocking as it was now. It was a stronghold with more than two thousand people inside. Yet, all of them disappeared just like that.
The news of the destruction of the Poison Fire Bandits caused another storm in the Breezy Plains, and the forces that were still waiting to see what would happen no longer dared to resist. Without waiting for the mages of the Tower of Dusk to find them, they all took the initiative to go to the Tower of Dusk to express their submission.
No one dared to doubt the strength of the Tower of Dusk, the power of the Legendary powerhouses, and the ruthlessness of the young President. Although they were enemies, the fact that he managed to kill so many people in one fell swoop made him a God of Death!
"President, there's a man from the Alanna Guild of Magic who claims to be your Master Macklin. He wants to see you," Beckley reported to Lin Li worriedly. Although Lin Li was young, he was already a Legendary powerhouse. Yet, that old man actually dared to claim to be Lin Li's Master. He must be courting death.
"Oh." Lin Li did not get angry, and instead, his eyes lit up. He said, "Quick, take me there."
Although Lin Li was already a level-23 Legendary powerhouse, he was still a young man in his twenties, after all, and was not as particular as those old men. He could indeed treat his enemies as insignificant ants, and killing more than 2,000 people would be as easy as stepping on a group of ants. But when it came to his friends, he would not put himself in a high and mighty position. What was the meaning of that kind of life?
When he arrived at the living room, Lin Li immediately saw Macklin, who still had a wretched look on his face. He was sitting there with his legs crossed and a cup of tea in his hand, sipping it loudly.
Seeing that Lin Li had entered, Macklin put down the teacup in his hand, jumped up, and circled around Lin Li twice. He muttered, "Impressive, you little bastard. You've caused a huge commotion here. Even the two old fellows of the Dark Blade suffered a great loss because of you."
Lin Li smiled, and said, "If they don't provoke me, I won't bother with them. You didn't come just to praise me, did you?"
"Praise you?" Macklin snorted, turned back to his seat, crossed his legs, and said, "Kid, you've been so busy recently that you've forgotten that you promised to forge a magical weapon for us. How long has it been? Every time we see that old bastard, Al 'Akir, we'll be mocked by him. Now, Aldwin doesn't even dare to step out of the Guild of Magic. "
"Oh, so that's what you're talking about. Don't worry, even if you hadn't come to look for me this time, I would've gone to Alanna in a few days to forge that magical weapon for you," Lin Li said as he sat beside Macklin. He was definitely not being perfunctory. He was still thinking about the debris of the stars, Nothingness, in Osric's mausoleum. Now that the situation in the Tower of Dusk had stabilized, going to Alanna was actually on the agenda.
"Seriously, do you really have the confidence to forge a magical weapon? That old bastard Al 'Akir has found someone to draw a high-level mageweath. If you want him to admit defeat, I'm afraid you'll have to forge a Master-level magical weapon. Otherwise, it'll be a draw again." Although Macklin knew that Lin Li could forge magical weapons, it would not be easy even for a true Smithing Master to forge a Master-level magical weapon.
"Don't worry, I still have that much confidence," Lin Li said confidently. Not to mention a Master-level magical weapon, even a Guru-level one would not be difficult for him.
Thinking of the bet between the Alanna Guild of Magic and the Adventurers Guild, Lin Li found it funny again. In order to fight for the key to Osric's mausoleum, Aldwin and Al 'Akir fought to a draw, and thus made such a seemingly fair bet. The Adventurers Guild was looking for a member who could draw mageweaths, while the Guild of Magic was looking for a member who could forge magical weapons.
Unfortunately, mages had always thought that they were smart, while Warriors were considered simple-minded. However, Aldwin was tricked by the Sword Sage of the Storm, Al 'Akir, in this bet. It was like a slap to his face. The members of the Adventurers Guild were complicated, and it did not take them much effort to find an Archmage who could draw high-level mageweaths. However, all the members of the Guild of Magic were mages. How could a blacksmith join the Guild of Magic? It was extremely difficult to find a mage who could forge iron.
Seeing the smile on Lin Li's face, Macklin felt a little sullen. However, no matter what, this little bastard was a genuine mage. If he really forged a Master-level magical weapon in front of Al 'Akir, the old man's expression would be even more interesting. At the thought of this, Macklin felt much better. He looked at Lin Li, who was beside him, and curiously asked, "You little bastard, I can't see through you anymore. I'm afraid your current strength is not as simple as that of the Legendary-realm."
After Macklin let go of his worries, he shifted his attention to Lin Li, but the more he looked at him, the more shocked he felt. Lin Li seemed to be even stronger than Aldwin.
Hearing Macklin's question, Lin Li smiled, and without hiding anything, he said, "I should be about level-23." He was not showing off. Anyway, he wouldn't be able to hide it from Aldwin, who was already a Legendary-mage. Besides, he would only be able to get the opportunity to participate in the exploration of Osric's mausoleum by showing off his strength. Otherwise, he would not be able to become an equal participant just by forging a magical weapon.
"What!? Damn it, is there any justice in this world? I remember that you were just an Archmage when you left Alanna. Damn it, why don't I have such luck? I've worked hard for most of my life, and yet, I'm still outside the Legendary-realm! "Macklin exclaimed with a face full of grief and indignation.
It had been almost two months since Lin Li returned from the Haiga Mountain Range. Lin Li checked on the mages who had undergone special training. Although none of the 40 mages had stepped into the Legendary-realm during this period of time, most of them had reached the peak of level-19. Even Gerian, who had been stuck at level-16, had reached the peak of level-19, which made the chubby old man happy for a long time. What made Lin Li happy was that more than 10 mages, including Gavin and Evan, had vaguely touched the edge of the Legendary-realm, and had begun to comprehend the nomological power. It could be said that they were only one step away from the Legendary-realm.
Although there were no Legendary powerhouses now, Lin Li believed that the Tower of Dusk would have a huge breakthrough soon, and there would be several mages who had stepped into the Legendary-realm. Moreover, even if there were no Legendary powerhouses now, the Tower of Dusk's strength was not something that any force could belittle.
For the mages who had reached the peak of level-19, the massive mana of the control crystal was no longer of much use for the time being. Hence, Lin Li announced the end of the special training, and put the control crystal back into the Ring of Endless Storm. However, the magic books of the High Elves were still left in there for the mages to continue learning.
After settling all the matters of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li and Macklin set off for Alanna. Of course, the two loyal Undead servants, Ujfalusi and Norfeller, also accompanied them. During this period of time, Ujfalusi had also successfully raised his level to the peak of level-21 with Lin Li's help and the dragon soul and wyrm skeleton obtained from the dragon graveyard. Of course, when the two level-21 Undead servants appeared in front of him, Macklin couldn't help but curse the innocent heavens again.
The Alanna Guild of Magic had not changed much since Lin Li's first visit. In the spacious hall, dozens of mages were bustling about busily. Noticing that Macklin and Lin Li had entered, the mages passing by bowed to Macklin respectfully, but they did not have much of an impression of Lin Li, who used to be a nobody. In fact, some mages even looked at Lin Li with some sympathy in their eyes. It seemed that everyone knew that it was definitely not a good thing to fall into Macklin's hands.
If it were any other time, Macklin would have definitely scolded them when he saw the look in their eyes. However, he didn't have the time today. Instead, he eagerly brought Lin Li to Aldwin. The bet with the Adventurers Guild had been bothering them for a long time. Macklin didn't want to waste any time, not because of the treasures in Osric's mausoleum, but because he wanted to see the defeated expression of the Sword Sage of the Storm, Al 'Akir.
The two of them rushed to Aldwin's office, and Macklin dashed in with Lin Li without even knocking on the door. The mages who passed by the door were all shocked, but when they saw that it was Macklin, they quickly shut their mouths, lowered their heads, and left quickly.
Aldwin was flipping through some documents at the table, and when he heard the sound of the door being knocked open, he didn't even raise his head. He simply said, "Macklin, you're already so old. Can you learn to be more like an elder?" He then closed the documents and looked up at Macklin and Lin Li.
