Aldwin had long been dissatisfied with Rosen, and Lin Li's opinion was also the safest. Anyway, exploring the surrounding area would only take up some time. Hence, he nodded, and said, "I think Felic's suggestion is safer. I brought them down here, so I have to be responsible for their lives. I don't want them to sacrifice themselves for some hasty ideas."
"Yes, I agree too. Osric's mausoleum is not to be taken lightly. It's better to be careful," Andoine said with a nod. He had plenty of reasons to support Lin Li, oppose Rosen, or not bear to see more mages die.
"You … Felic, this operation was led by the Supreme Council. You're just a small President of a Guild of Magic. Can you afford to affect the Supreme Council's plans? Don't forget who supported the establishment of your Guild of Magic. You'll definitely regret it. " Rosen was infuriated that his opinion was opposed by everyone. However, after getting angry, he glanced at Andoine who was opposite him, and an idea popped up in his mind.
In Rosen's opinion, the reason why he and Andoine were sent to participate in this operation was not only to obtain the item in the mausoleum, but also to compete for the position of arbitrator. If he obtained that item, then his contribution in this operation would undoubtedly be the greatest. Then, there would be no need to ask who the arbiter would belong to.
At the thought of this, Rosen's anger subsided a little, and he no longer said anything to Andoine and the others. Instead, he walked straight towards the mages who were resting. Next, they heard Rosen say something about the Supreme Council and rewards for meritorious deeds. More than 20 mages stood up one after another, and followed him to the cemetery.
Aldwin was furious. The mages that he had painstakingly nurtured were actually poached away by someone else with just a few words. Even a mild-mannered person would not be able to stand it. He immediately chased after Rosen and the others.
However, Lin Li reached out and stopped Aldwin. He said, "President Aldwin, those who should leave can't stay. The ones who are left are the ones that you should cherish the most."
Aldwin was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the remaining 160-odd mages. In fact, with the departure of those people, the mages had now truly returned to their original state, and were truly a whole.
"Felic, you said that there's something wrong with the cemetery. What exactly is the problem?" Andoine asked as he patted Aldwin's shoulder.
Lin Li shook his head and smiled, but did not explain much. He simply said, "President Aldwin, gather the mages. I think we should temporarily retreat for a while."
Lin Li's words made everyone a little confused, but at this moment, Rosen had already stepped into the gate of the cemetery with the mages who followed him. As Rosen stepped in, the entire ground suddenly collapsed like ice floes on a river, and all the hidden magic traps erupted almost at the same time, forming a huge magic vortex. All the magic gears were activated at the same time. All kinds of magic arrows and flying items sealed the entire space.
Everything happened in an instant, and the 20-odd mages led by Rosen were overwhelmed by the infinite magic traps and magic gears before they could react at all. They didn't even have time to scream. Rosen was the only one who retreated desperately with his Legendary-level strength, and escaped from the collapsed cemetery by a hair's breadth.
The entire cemetery collapsed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a huge bottomless abyss where the roars of demons could be heard. A massive evil aura surged into the sky. Without a doubt, the cemetery was a huge trap that led to the depths of the abyss. The mixed and massive evil aura indicated that even a Sanctuary-realm powerhouse would probably not be able to escape if he were to fall into it.
It was unknown whether Rosen was lucky or not, but he stubbornly stepped into the trap, and all the mages who followed him died in an instant. Rosen himself did not go too deep, and managed to escape at the critical juncture with his own strength. Although he looked extremely disheveled, he was at least much stronger than the mages.
"You knew it long ago, didn't you? You knew it long ago!?" Rosen pounced towards Lin Li like a maniac, but was stopped by Aldwin and Andoine.
"Master Rosen, please be mindful of your identity. I've already said that I suspect there's a problem there, so I suggested that we explore the surroundings first. I've also gotten the approval of Master Andoine and Master Aldwin. You were the one who decided to take the unusual path. Don't push the blame to others when something goes wrong. There's a limit to my tolerance. Even if you're the leader of the Supreme Council, you don't have the right to frame me like this, "Lin Li said calmly while looking at the exasperated Rosen.
Rosen looked around, and knew that it was impossible for him to find any supporters now. Hence, he had no choice but to glare at Lin Li before turning around and walking to the other side. In his heart, he had always thought that everything had been planned by Lin Li, and that everything had to be blamed on him. However, he also understood that the mission of the Supreme Council had yet to be completed, and everything had to wait until they left this place. With his identity as the leader of the Supreme Council, he would have plenty of opportunities to deal with the insignificant President of the Guild of Magic.
The team was far away from the terrifying trap, but no one knew what to do next. That lunatic Osric actually used the Endless Abyss to design a trap. God knew if anyone would be able to escape if they were to encounter another trap.
However, at this moment, Connoris' voice sounded in Lin Li's mind again. "I've convinced that Goblin, and he promised to take you to the place where Osric really sleeps, but he has a request."
Lin Li perked up, and hurriedly asked, "What request? Don't tell me he wants me to find him a female Goblin?"
"A female Goblin, he didn't say, but he wants you to promise to help him take out a notebook after you find the place where Osric really sleeps." Connoris obviously didn't think that it was an excessive request. Anyway, it wasn't as if the notebook would disappear after reading it. No matter how precious the notebook was, the content was precious, and not the paper.
"What kind of notebook do you want?" Lin Li asked the Goblin after he came over.
The Goblin Angelano shook his head, and said, "I'll tell you when we get there. Also, can you take out that Alchemy Colossus? I have a use for it. "
Angelano had followed Osric for so long, and felt that he relied on Osric. What kind of notebook was there that he wanted from Osric? While taking the Alchemy Colossus out of the Ring of Endless Storm, Lin Li thought about what kind of notebook Angelano wanted. He actually waited until now. Perhaps that notebook was among the things that Osric had taken from the Immortal King's laboratory in the Sky Castle.
After the Alchemy Colossus was taken out, Angelano crawled around the Alchemy Colossus' body, and quickly removed a few parts skillfully. He then fiddled around on the ground for a while, and actually assembled something that looked like a mecha.
Angelano climbed onto the machine, and controlled it to take two steps towards Lin Li. He said, "Okay, you can put that big guy away, and then we can set off."
Lin Li put away the Alchemy Colossus, and briefly introduced Angelano to Andoine and the rest. He did not mention the trade of the notebook, and simply said that Angelano had already promised to bring them to Osric's resting place.
"He's Osric's subordinate. Why should we trust him? Who knows if he's luring us into a trap," Rosen said with a look of suspicion. One reason was that he couldn't bear to see Lin Li get credit again, and the other reason was that he was frightened by the trap just now.
"If you don't believe me, you don't have to follow us. Lord Angelano didn't beg you to follow us." Although Angelano's sharp voice was unpleasant to the ears, it was not as harsh to everyone's ears because he was mocking Rosen.
Under Angelano's lead, the team walked in another direction, and soon passed by the place where Eminos was killed. They then passed through the mausoleums of the High Elves.
Gradually, everyone discovered that they had entered a somewhat strange area under Angelano's lead. It seemed to be no different from the original cemetery, but the tombs were more gorgeous and exquisite, and the arrangement of all the tombs was obviously different from before.
"The elite warriors of the Magic Legion are buried here. Although they have already accompanied the Highlord to rest in peace, without my guidance, even if you found this place, you definitely wouldn't feel any better than falling into the abyss trap," the short Goblin Angelano said to Lin Li and the rest while sitting in the walking alchemy machine. Lin Li carefully looked at the tombs around him, and especially the arrangement of the tombs. He then said with uncertainty, "Could it be the Undead Revival Array?"
With his keen insight, Lin Li had already discovered that although the tombs looked luxurious on the outside, some of them were different in details, and the unique tombs seemed to be distributed in the cemetery in a certain pattern.
With his keen insight, Lin Li had already discovered that although the tombs looked luxurious on the outside, there were some differences in the details, and those unique tombs seemed to be distributed in the cemetery according to a certain pattern. Hence, it was very likely that the tombs were acting as magic nodes. However, Lin Li could not be sure what kind of Alchemy Array it was. He could only link it to Angelano, and guessed that it might be a place to create Undead creatures.
However, Angelano shook his disproportionately large head, and twitched his ears slightly. He proudly said, "It's not the Undead Revival Array. That thing is too low-level. You have to know that the elite warriors of the Magic Legion are buried here. If they turn into Undead creatures, there will be nothing left. This Array is called the Eternal Spirit of Heroes. Once it is activated, the sleeping warriors will turn into powerful spirits. Not only will they inherit their memories and combat instincts, but their strength will also be greatly improved. "
"Spirits of Heroes?" Lin Li was no stranger to that name. When he was in the Haiga Mountain Range, he had even used the Requiem Array to expiate a real Titan Spirit. However, he did not know what the Eternal Spirit of Heroes Array had to do with Titan Spirits. Could High Elves be transformed into Spirits of Heroes too?
"Yes, they are Spirits of Heroes. You seem to know the origin of Spirits of Heroes. This Eternal Spirit Array is said to have been created by the Immortal King based on the formation of the Titan Spirits, "Angelano said as he raised his head slightly, as if he was the one who created the Eternal Spirit Array.
"Since there are so many benefits to being transformed into Spirits of Heroes, why doesn't Osric turn them into Spirits of Heroes directly? Why does he have to wait for others to activate the Alchemy Array?" The journey seemed to be a little too peaceful, and Rosen felt indignant again. Who knew if Felic and the Goblin were playing tricks on him?
"Ignorant human, it seems that the trap of the abyss has not taught you a lesson. The wisdom of the Highlord is not something that a mortal like you can guess. Use your brain, or you don't have that thing at all." Angelano did not care about the Supreme Council at all. After hearing Rosen's doubts, he immediately reprimanded him without holding back.
It was said that the reason the Titans could be transformed into Spirits of Heroes after their deaths was because their souls would be baptized by countless destructive thunderbolts in their lives. Their souls were solid and tough, and even the gods could not destroy them. However, although the High Elves were excellent, they had many flaws, and could not be compared to the Titans in terms of souls. With the strength of the souls of the High Elves, they would probably collapse after a short time even if they were successfully transformed into Spirits of Heroes with the help of the powerful Alchemy Array.
Although that was not considered common sense, one would be able to figure out the problem as long as they had some knowledge and thought about it. If not for his mental state, Rosen would have been able to figure it out himself. However, he could only listen to Angelano's reprimand now, and could not retort.
After reprimanding Rosen, Angelano turned his head to look at Lin Li, but he immediately changed his expression, and said, "How is it? Did you notice anything?"
While walking with Angelano, Lin Li carefully observed the ground and the tombs. All of a sudden, he frowned slightly, and said, "There doesn't seem to be the magic circuit of the Eternal Spirits of Heroes Array here."
Although Lin Li was unfamiliar with the Eternal Spirits of Heroes Array, the Alchemy Array created by the Immortal King, he knew that all magic facilities, be it Alchemy Arrays, mageweaths, or magic gears, had to be supported by the magic circuit in order for the source of mana to provide mana for the entire facility.
