However, Megard didn't seem to hear the hidden meaning behind Rosen's words. Instead, he said, "That crystal coffin is not just a coffin. As far as I know, it's the furnace that Osric used to create the perfect body. It's also the core of the eighth Sky Castle of the High Elves. However, it's a pity that the Supreme Council did not get the Eternal Furnace that Osric built. Otherwise, it could be said to be the reappearance of the eighth Sky Castle. " At this point, Megard did not look at Rosen, and instead turned to look at Lin Li.
Seeing that Megard had simply answered his question, Rosen knew that he didn't want to pursue the matter with Lin Li anymore. Hence, he had no choice but to sit back down sulkily.
"Okay, since you no longer have any questions, I'll announce your respective rewards on behalf of the Supreme Council." Megard looked around at the people who had stood up, and slowly said, "Andoine, Rosen, the two of you have successfully completed the task assigned to you by the Supreme Council. You will be qualified to study the High Elves' literature. Aldwin, Macklin, you and the Alanna Mage Legion have made great sacrifices for the Supreme Council in this mission. The Supreme Council will reward you with a batch of magical resources and the magical equipment needed by the mages. As for Felic … "
When he mentioned what reward he was going to give Lin Li, Megard paused for a moment, but the small pause immediately made the others have different expressions on their faces. Andoine and Aldwin thought that Megard would not reward Lin Li or even punish him for taking Osric's perfect body and magical weapon. Hence, they were extremely worried. On the other hand, Rosen's thoughts were similar to those of Andoine and the others, but he seemed to be gloating. He initially thought that Megard was not going to hold it against him, but he didn't expect him to settle the score at the end.
However, Megard's next words immediately made their expressions change drastically. After a moment of pause, he continued, "As for Felic, you played a vital role in this mission. What do you want?"
He actually asked Lin Li what he wanted! Andoine and Aldwin were immediately overjoyed, while Rosen, who was initially gloating, was filled with disbelief. Such a reward was definitely unprecedented, and it was said by the arbitrator himself. Lin Li reckoned that it wouldn't be a problem for him to plunder the treasure vault of the Supreme Council. In fact, it might even be possible for him to become the controller of the Supreme Council.
However, the treasure vault of the Supreme Council was not very attractive to Lin Li, and he was even less interested in being the controller. The other party had given him an unlimited reward, but he couldn't ask for it indefinitely. Lin Li stroked his chin, looked up, and said to Megard, "Honorable Arbitrator, since the Supreme Council has no use for the crystal coffin, just give it to me."
The Supreme Council did not have the Eternal Furnace, but Lin Li did. All he lacked was the crystal coffin. Since Megard asked him to choose, how could Lin Li give up the most useful thing for him and choose something that he didn't know about? However, Lin Li was also a little clever when he said that the crystal coffin was useless to the Supreme Council. In that case, would the arbitrator of the Supreme Council have the cheek to reward the person who had made the greatest contribution with something that was useless to him?
There was a slight smile in Megard's eyes. He had clearly seen through Lin Li's thoughts, but he did not expose him. Instead, he nodded, and said, "Sure, in addition to the crystal coffin, I'll give you another chance. What other requests do you have?"
Megard's words made everyone except Lin Li freeze in shock, and they even suspected if Lin Li and Megard were related. Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated. The crystal coffin was the furnace that Osric used to create the perfect body. How could it be useless to the Supreme Council? Not only did he reward the crystal coffin, he even allowed him to make another request. Is this still the arbitrator that I know!?
Even Lin Li was rather surprised to hear Megard's words. Of course, being shocked was one thing, and he would be a fool not to give up such an opportunity. He thought for a moment, and said, "Lord Arbitrator, one of my companions, Angelano, also contributed a lot in this mission. He was the one who cracked most of the magic traps in the mausoleum. He has a wish, and that is to take a look at Osric's notebook. I wonder if this request is too much. "
"You're talking about the Goblin who is proficient in alchemy, right? Let him come with Andoine tomorrow. I'll give him seven days to read the part about alchemy." Megard straightforwardly agreed to Lin Li's request, and then ended the conversation. He then told everyone to get some rest.
Lin Li fought for this opportunity for Angelano partly because he wanted to fulfill his original promise, and partly because he had some selfish motives. Anyway, he had already successfully made Angelano agree to return to the Tower of Dusk together, and Angelano would inevitably have to make Alchemy Colossuses and alchemy puppets for the Tower of Dusk in the future. Hence, it would be extremely beneficial for Lin Li to be able to improve Angelano's alchemy through reading Osric's notes.
As for why Lin Li didn't take this opportunity to ask to read Osric's notebook … Lin Li still had the Book of Eternity that Geresco had left behind. In terms of magical knowledge, it was not inferior to Osric's notebook. Lin Li had also reached the Guru-level in other fields of knowledge such as pharmaceutics and inscription. Hence, there was no urgent need for it for the time being.
When Lin Li went out to see Angelano, he told him about the matter, and the Goblin was immediately touched. In the eyes of the naive Goblin, Lin Li had given up his own opportunity to get the chance to read Osric's notebook. He had never met such a good person in his 10,000 years of life. At the same time, Angelano was even more confident in Lin Li's trustworthiness, and he firmly believed that Lin Li would definitely not renege on the magical crystals that he had promised him.
Angelano had obtained the opportunity to read Osric's notebook. Although it was only a short seven days, he believed that seven days was enough for him to gain a lot since he was a Guru-level Alchemy Guru. Andoine brought Angelano to the Sky Tower to read Osric's notebook, while Aldwin was busy rebuilding the mages of the Alanna Guild of Magic. Macklin had stepped into the Legendary-realm in the mausoleum, and was now busy consolidating his realm. Even Connoris, who had obtained a new body, was busy with the fusion of his soul and body. After all, the more he fused, the stronger he would become. All of a sudden, the people who came out of the mausoleum were busy with their own things, and Lin Li had become an idle person.
As for Ujfalusi and Norfeller, who had already recovered from their injuries, they set off for the Tower of Dusk after leaving the mausoleum. Although few forces in the Breezy Plains dared to provoke the Tower of Dusk with the current strength of the Tower of Dusk and Lin Li's previous ruthless methods, Lin Li was still worried about the absence of a real Legendary powerhouse for a long time.
However, Lin Li's leisure did not last long. The news of the return of the team that explored the mausoleum was not a secret. Since the others were too busy to be seen, the only idle person naturally became the focus of attention. After all, Alanna was the capital of the Felan Kingdom. Although the area was not as vast as the Breezy Plains, there were many forces of various sizes that were not inferior to the Breezy Plains. Lin Li only rested leisurely for a day in the Alanna Guild of Magic, and all sorts of invitations flew towards him like snowflakes.
Darian, who was in charge of entertaining Lin Li, received invitations every day. When he saw the prominent names on the invitations, he even felt a little numb. Perhaps in the near future, he would feel honored to have received this young mage personally. In fact, even now, the other mages in the Guild were looking at him in a different way. They were always full of envy.
If it were in the past, Lin Li would have taken this opportunity to discuss business matters with those forces for the sake of the development of the Tower of Dusk, even though he did not like to socialize. However, the Tower of Dusk was now developing like the sun in the sky in the Breezy Plains, and there would be people representing various forces going to the Tower of Dusk almost every day to ask for business cooperation. As the owner of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li naturally did not have to worry about such things. For the sake of peace and quiet, he directly turned down most of the invitations.
However, there were some invitations that Lin Li could not turn down, such as the invitations from President Balbo of the Pharmacists Guild, the President of the Adventurers Guild, and even the invitations from the Felan Royal Family.
Back then, Balbo stood his ground and agreed to send Wilkinson and the other pharmacists to the Tower of Dusk. Regardless of his purpose, they had indeed played a vital role in the development of the Tower of Dusk. Hence, Lin Li wouldn't turn down Balbo's invitation even if he wanted to. Back then, Lin Li had forcefully used a potion to exchange for the Legendary-level magical crystal of the Salamander, which made Lin Li have a good impression of the forthright old man.
As for the invitation from the Felan Royal Family, it might be a supreme honor for ordinary people, but it was nothing to the powerful Legendary-mages. Lin Li initially planned to turn it down, but something mentioned in the invitation made him change his mind.
After an annoying ball, Lin Li ignored the coquettish looks of the many noble ladies, and followed Prince Arthur of the Felan Kingdom to a much quieter lounge. Under Prince Arthur's instructions, the two attendants stood guard in front of the lounge to prevent anyone from disturbing them. When Prince Arthur mentioned the contents of the transaction, Lin Li still felt a little incredulous when he saw the item on the table, even though he had already seen it on the invitation.
"The Dragon Crystals of the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons. Are you sure you want to use this for the transaction?" Lin Li had never thought that there would be such a treasure hidden in the treasure vault of the Felan Royal Family. Although wyrms liked to mate with different creatures, causing their bloodline to be extremely abundant, the fertility of wyrms was very low among wyrms. For example, the twin wyrms that had become the Double Death Dragons that Lin Li had encountered in the Haiga Mountain Range were already extremely rare, and the fact that the twin wyrms had different attributes was even rarer.
Although the ice and fire wyrms were both wyrms, due to the opposing attributes, the union of these two wyrms could be said to be the wyrms version of Romeo and Juliet. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a cross-species union. The fertility of wyrms of the same element was already extremely low in the first place. Not only did the two wyrms of opposite attributes have the crystallization of love, but they were also rare twin wyrms. That could no longer be described as rare.
Of course, another possibility could not be ruled out, which was that the union of the two wyrms of opposite attributes might also increase the birth rate of the twin wyrms. After all, if there was no king among the wyrms, it would be good enough if the wyrms of opposite attributes did not get into a fight once they met. It would be a miracle in itself to be able to spark love.
"Yes, I know. Ordinary wealth is almost meaningless to you, Master Felic. Your Tower of Dusk does not seem to be lacking in magical equipment and the like. Hence, we can only think of these two Legendary Dragon Crystals that were seized from the High Elves' treasure vault when the Felan Kingdom was first established. " Prince Arthur seemed to be a little embarrassed, as if he couldn't even bring out the two Legendary Dragon Crystals.
Back then, Prince Arthur had personally gone to the Tower of Dusk to attend Lin Li's inauguration ceremony, and had witnessed with his own eyes how the Tower of Dusk had risen from almost nothing to become a top force in the Breezy Plains. Hence, he was rather respectful towards the young President who had legendary abilities and deeds.
From Prince Arthur's words, Lin Li could tell that the Dragon Crystals of the Ice and Fire Twin Wyrms seemed to be extremely precious to Prince Arthur, but they were only limited to the two Legendary Dragon Crystals. The rarer and more precious characteristics of the Ice and Fire Twin Wyrms were not specially mentioned, and could be said to have been completely ignored.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Li somewhat understood the situation. For most people, the role of magical crystals was nothing more than a source of mana, be it for mageweaths, Alchemy Arrays, or providing mana for mages. In terms of these uses, the role that the Dragon Crystals of the Ice and Fire Twin Wyrms could play was not much different from that of other magical crystals of the same level. Hence, from a practical point of view, the value of the Dragon Crystals of the Ice and Fire Twin Wyrms was not much different from that of other magical crystals of the same level.
