Since he was always scheming against others, he naturally had to be wary of being schemed against by others. Connoris would never think that anyone would be selfless and considerate of others. Instead, he would have to be extra wary of such people. Only interests were the most trustworthy, and only relationships based on interests were the fairest and most reassuring.
Although Connoris could not say that he had seen through Lin Li after spending some time with him, Lin Li's character was actually somewhat similar to his. They were both inclined to nip any possibility of being disadvantageous to themselves in the bud, and would not wait until they were really threatened before striking.
The body that Osric had created in order to achieve true immortality was only one aspect. The greater advantage was the infinite potential that this body had, which could even be comparable to a real divine body. Given Lin Li's character, how could he let such a powerful force get out of his control? Connoris knew very well that even if Lin Li was not worried that he would harm Connoris, he would not give up on gaining enough benefits from this body.
Hence, Connoris did not dare to take any risks at all. As soon as he fused with this body, he took the initiative to establish a servant contract. Although he would lose some of his freedom, it would be the safest for him. Otherwise, if he really forced Lin Li into a corner, he would definitely be in a miserable state, even though both of them might not be defeated.
"Haha, you're thinking too much." Hearing Connoris's words, Lin Li blushed, which was rare for him. He turned his head to look around, and immediately changed the topic. "Let's not talk about anything else. Hurry up and help me release my things. If we take too long, we won't be able to find them."
Lin Li did not admit it, but he did not deny it either. He simply changed the topic by asking Connoris to release the four pieces of the debris of the stars. Of course, in fact, he was indeed eager to get back the four pieces of the debris of the stars. Although he could still feel the aura emitted by the debris of the stars, there might be a Nether Storm that would definitely cause him a huge heartache.
Andoine and the others listened to the conversation between Lin Li and Connoris, but they did not think that there was anything wrong with what Lin Li did. It was better to nip it in the bud. That only showed that Lin Li was meticulous. However, Rosen secretly labeled Lin Li as a sinister person, and he became even more fearful of him.
Connoris waved the Void Spear that he had been holding tightly in his hand, and used some of the memories that he had inherited from his body to draw a crack in the space where Lin Li pointed. Although the power was not as great as when Osric used it, and it was not as easy, it was enough for the debris of the stars to pass.
Under Lin Li's summon, the four pieces of the debris of the stars that were trapped in the chaos of time and space flew out of the cracks in the space. After retrieving the four pieces of the debris of the stars, Lin Li finally heaved a sigh of relief, and extended his hand towards Connoris.
Connoris looked at the Void Spear in his hand. Although he was reluctant to give it up after witnessing the power of the Void Spear, he knew that Lin Li was determined to get it. Hence, he had no choice but to obediently hand it over to Lin Li.
Connoris looked at the Void Spear in his hand. Although he was reluctant to give it up after seeing the power of Osric's Void Spear, he knew that Lin Li had to get it. Hence, he had no choice but to hand it over to Lin Li. Not to mention that he was seriously injured now, he probably wouldn't be able to deal with the soul that had obtained Osric's body even if he was at his peak. In the end, he would only be humiliating himself.
However, the crystal coffin was the target of the Supreme Council this time. Hence, he definitely couldn't let Lin Li take it! Rosen forced himself to walk towards the crystal coffin, turned around, and said to Lin Li righteously, "The Supreme Council has ordered us to bring this crystal coffin back, and no one is allowed to look at or steal the items in it before that."
However, Lin Li simply shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Andoine and the others. "This expedition should be over. Let's find the way back." After saying that, he turned around and left with Andoine and the others, seemingly completely uninterested in the crystal coffin and its contents. He simply left the crystal coffin and Rosen there.
"Felic, how are we going back? We can't possibly be killing our way up from the 72 levels of the abyss, right?" Macklin looked around the abyss, and realized that the continuous battles had caused the place to be in a mess. However, there was no way out at all.
"Let's go back to where we came from. There should be a Gate of the Abyss there. As long as we reopen it, we can directly return to the minaret," Lin Li explained without worry.
Soon, Lin Li found the Alchemy Array of the Gate of the Abyss that had long stopped operating at the place where they first appeared in the abyss. Reopening the Alchemy Array was a piece of cake for Lin Li. Besides, there was also the Alchemy Guru Angelano. Hence, it wouldn't be a problem for him to rebuild a Gate of the Abyss.
After passing through the Gate of the Abyss, they indeed returned to the minaret, and the next step was to return to where they came from. They left the minaret, passed through the palace, and returned to the boundless cemetery through the long passage, all the way to the city wall that was filled with Magical Crystal Cannons. Although most of the Magical Crystal Cannons on the city wall had been destroyed, there were still some that were intact on both sides of the city wall. Lin Li didn't stand on ceremony, and simply asked Angelano to control the Alchemy Colossus to dismantle more than 10 Magical Crystal Cannons before storing them in the Ring of Endless Storm.
Next, the team went all the way to the wilderness outside. In the sky above their heads, the huge black vortex was still spinning continuously. Lin Li ignored the protests of the tender Elemental Wyrm, and directly put the remaining 12 Death Knights into Dream Garden. He then used the Power of Flight to follow Andoine and the others towards the black vortex.
Angelano, on the other hand, first took some parts from the Alchemy Colossus, and quickly installed a flying alchemy machine. He then muttered some words on the ground, and a huge Six-pointed Star Array slowly opened under the feet of the Alchemy Colossus. The light of the Six-pointed Star Array became brighter and brighter until it engulfed the entire Alchemy Colossus. When the Six-pointed Star Array disappeared, the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus that was like a hill also disappeared.
Although Angelano, who was a Goblin, didn't have the ability to use magic, powerful metallurgists could use Alchemy Arrays to create a space to store their Alchemy Colossus. As an Alchemy Guru, Angelano naturally had the ability to store a Titan-level Alchemy Colossus. However, the process of using this space was extremely complicated, and Angelano had only used it a few times in the past tens of thousands of years.
"Hmph, it won't be easy to get it back from me after it's been stored in my space." While looking at Lin Li and the others who were gradually approaching the black vortex in the sky, Angelano jumped onto the flying alchemy machine, activated the Alchemy Array, and chased after them. Of course, if that human demon really asked him for it, would he be able to survive the countless tortures? At the thought of this, he suddenly felt extremely depressed, and secretly decided that he would run as far away from that human demon as possible after he got out.
After passing through the huge black vortex, everyone finally returned to the ground, and the familiar Shadowglen appeared in front of them. In the Shadowglen, the three Undead Lords who had opened the Immortal Door were nowhere to be seen. The surrounding death aura was much fainter than when they first entered. In the sky, the Sky Tower of the Supreme Council was emitting massive mana waves that were suppressing the Immortal Door. However, with the appearance of the crowd, the mana waves gradually became more restrained.
"Lord Felic, if there's nothing else, do you think I can leave too?" Angelano looked at Lin Li anxiously while controlling the small aircraft. He was just waiting for Lin Li to agree so that he could leave as soon as possible.
"Leave?" Lin Li's words immediately made Angelano's face turn pale, but what he said next immediately changed Angelano's expression from horror to surprise. "Don't you want that magical crystal? Don't you want it anymore?"
"Yes, yes, yes. If you're willing to give it to me, of course I want it!" Angelano nodded in surprise.
"Since I've promised, I'll definitely do it. Take it." While speaking, Lin Li took out Balak's magical crystal, and handed it to Angelano who was in disbelief.
However, as soon as Angelano reached out to take the magical crystal, he suddenly retracted his hand, and said with a bitter expression, "Lord Felic, can you release the Fire Demon inside first? Otherwise …"
When Angelano controlled the Alchemy Colossus of the Titan Alchemy Colossus, he had powerful combat power that was close to the Sanctuary-realm. However, he was limited by his physique, and was as weak as an ordinary human. After all, the Fire Demon King was a powerhouse that was close to the Sanctuary-realm. Even though he was only left with his soul, he still possessed immense power. Although the Fire Demon King could not do much in Lin Li's hands, he could deal with a small Goblin with just a thought.
"Oh, I didn't think this through. It's not impossible to release the Fire Demon, but the process is still rather difficult. Why don't you come with me to my place after everything here is over? I'll think of a way. Don't worry, I'll definitely do what I promised. Even if it's difficult, I'll definitely give you the magical crystal. " Lin Li seemed to be in a dilemma, and it seemed to be a very tricky problem that was even more difficult than the battle with Osric.
Angelano's expression was rather conflicted, and he was struggling internally. Finally, he looked at Balak's magical crystal in Lin Li's hand, and swallowed his saliva. His voice trembling, he said, "Okay, okay, you definitely won't lie to me, I know …"
"Okay, come with me to see the arbitrator of the Supreme Council first. I'll bring you back after we're done here." Lin Li turned around and followed Andoine and the rest to the Sky Tower in the sky. However, the troubled expression on his face had disappeared, and was replaced by a smug smile.
Angelano was a veritable Guru of Alchemy, and Lin Li knew that he could not compare to this Goblin in terms of alchemy. Besides, the knowledge of alchemy in his head was completely inherited from the era of the Goblins all the way to the Dark Age. According to the current grading system, Angelano would probably be classified as a Divine Smith.
Alchemy Arrays, Alchemy Colossuses, Alchemy Puppets, and the mysterious alchemy that Osric had researched were all contained in Angelano's head. As long as Angelano was tricked into joining the Tower of Dusk, everything related to alchemy would not be a problem. Moreover, Angelano had experienced almost the entire Dark Age at his age, and would definitely know many secrets about the Dark Age. He might even know the location of some mysterious treasures. That would be an immeasurable amount of wealth.
How could Lin Li let go of such a rare Guru of Alchemy whose ability to create Alchemy Colossuses was enough to make the major forces want to rope him in. How could Lin Li let go of such a rare Alchemy Guru whose ability to create Alchemy Colossuses was just to bully the Goblin for being uncultured? The Fire Demon King and Lin Li had signed an extremely strict Soul Contract. As long as Lin Li gave an order, the Fire Demon King would obediently come out of Balak's magical crystal. Besides, that was something that he couldn't ask for more.
Angelano naturally didn't know that he had become a fish on Lin Li's hook. He followed behind Lin Li with a face full of joy, and even his impression of Lin Li had changed greatly. Although this human demon was a little cruel, he was very trustworthy. Look, he didn't even sign the contract, and yet he agreed to give such a precious magical crystal to me!
Hearing Lin Li's lie to Angelano, Andoine and the rest tried their best not to laugh out loud. At the same time, they felt great sympathy for the Goblin who was clueless.
Everyone entered the Sky Tower, and the arbitrator Megard was waiting quietly in the hall with a faint smile on his face. When he looked at Lin Li, there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes, which made Rosen secretly jealous.
After everyone sat down, Rosen, who was the nominal leader of the operation, roughly told the arbitrator Megard about the team's encounter in the mausoleum. Out of fear of Lin Li, and the fact that Andoine and Aldwin were also present, Rosen did not add fuel to the fire. Instead, he recounted the entire matter emotionlessly, and finally handed the damaged Wyrm Summoning Staff to Megard.
"Okay." Megard nodded slightly, and gestured for Rosen to sit back down. He then looked at everyone, and slowly said, "I think you must be very curious now as to why the Supreme Council attached so much importance to that crystal coffin, and why I let the three Undead Lords go."
Regarding the purpose of the Supreme Council's operation this time, Rosen only knew that they wanted the crystal coffin, but he didn't know what it was for.
