Next, a corner of the Eternal Furnace that was surrounded by flames slowly squeezed out of the sky silently. From a small corner, a huge flaming palace floated in front of Lin Li.
After summoning the Eternal Furnace, Lin Li's tone changed, and he immediately began to recite another magic spell. However, this time, he used pure human language. On the platform at the top of the Tower of Dusk, the huge Alchemy Array that had been prepared long ago lit up with a gentle light as Lin Li recited the spell. The light gradually turned from gentle to bright, and then from bright to dazzling. The entire Alchemy Array emitted a dazzling light, making it seem as if there was a huge pillar of light at the top of the Tower of Dusk that reached the sky.
Next, Lin Li used the Brand of Dusk to control the palace that was surrounded by flames, and slowly approached the pillar of light that was shot out from the Alchemy Array at the top of the Tower of Dusk. He slowly cut off the pillar of light that shot into the sky until it was completely suppressed at the bottom of the palace. He then began to slowly descend. The huge flaming palace shook slightly, and came into contact with the top of the Tower of Dusk. After some slight adjustments, it finally merged perfectly with the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li once had to rely on two layers of Fire Salamandrid leather armor to resist the scorching heat, but now, he did not feel the slightest discomfort because of the Shadow of the Night. As the Brand of Dusk flashed, the vermilion door slowly opened, and a red carpet extended from the depths of the palace to Lin Li's feet. After experiencing the Sky Castle and Osric's mausoleum, such a scene was nothing to Lin Li now. Without looking at the carpet beneath his feet, he flew directly into the palace through the opened door.
After entering the palace, Lin Li did not stop, and instead headed straight to the core of the Eternal Furnace, which was also the location of the central minaret of the Eternal Furnace in Osric's mausoleum. The two Eternal Furnaces were almost exactly the same, be it the architectural structure or the various settings. The only difference was that there was no central spire in the center. There was only a huge Alchemy Array, which was once used to house the crystal coffin.
When he arrived at the core, Lin Li inserted the Shadow of the Night Sword into the activation node of the huge Alchemy Array. The crimson light was like hot molten iron that flowed slowly along the magic circuit of the Alchemy Array. It gradually filled up all the magic circuits and fused together, after which a massive wave of mana was emitted.
The crimson light emitted by the array covered the ground, as if this area had turned into a sea of flames. At this moment, Lin Li flew to the sky above the Alchemy Array, and took out the huge crystal coffin from the Ring of Endless Storm.
The crystal coffin landed on the sea of fire formed by the red light, but it didn't continue to fall. Instead, it seemed to be supported by the red light, moving up and down slightly, like a small boat floating on a calm water surface. Lin Li had already taken away the Balark magical crystal, which was the source of mana in the crystal coffin. However, when the crystal coffin landed on the red light, the red light seeped into the surface of the crystal coffin, and the mageweaths and Alchemy Arrays that had been extinguished gradually lit up again.
At this point, Lin Li finally completed the placement of the crystal coffin, and the Eternal Furnace regained its most important core. The eighth Sky Castle could be considered to have taken shape at this point. However, Lin Li knew that there were still many things that he had to do. When the 2,000 potions were completed, he would be able to obtain the Dragon Crystals of the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons, and then the Ice and Fire Natural Domain. The Ice and Fire Natural Domain and the Throne of Darkness would definitely be able to increase the power of the Eternal Furnace several times after they were combined with the Eternal Furnace. By then, it would not just be a prototype, but at least a semi-finished product of the eighth Sky Castle.
The abnormalities caused by Lin Li's placement of the Eternal Furnace naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially those in Doland City, which was the closest to the Tower of Dusk. After seeing the flames and pillars of light at the Tower of Dusk, they thought that the Tower of Dusk had been attacked by some force again. When someone brought back the news that the young President of the Tower of Dusk had returned, the entire Doland City was in chaos, and the leaders of the various forces rushed to the Tower of Dusk with gifts.
However, Lin Li only met the castellan of Doland City, and didn't have the time to care about the other forces at all. After setting up the Eternal Furnace and the crystal coffin, Lin Li's next plan was to complete the Black Front Fortress that had been neglected.
The Black Front Fortress was a military camp specially designed for Death Knights, and it could transform mana into Death aura. If the Death Knights were placed in the fortress, they would not only be able to continuously increase their physical strength, but also speed up the digestion of soul fire. However, the acceleration could not be achieved overnight. Even if 100 years were compressed into a year, the acceleration was already very exaggerated. However, it would take at least three to five years for a Death Knight to grow into a Retribution Knight.
Most importantly, Lin Li couldn't possibly bring the Death Knights to massacre everywhere. Hence, he naturally couldn't let them obtain more soul fire. The legendary Retribution Knight Rodhart had successfully become a Retribution Knight because he had obtained the severed arm of the Immortal King. After that, in order to improve his own strength and that of the Death Knights under him, he slaughtered nearly one-third of the population of the Breezy Plains. Although Lin Li admitted that he was not a kind person, he wouldn't do such a crazy and perverted thing. Besides, if he really did that, he would probably be strangled to death by some Sanctuary powerhouse before he could groom a Retribution Knight.
Slaughtering Undead creatures was nothing, but Lin Li was so busy that he didn't have the time to lead the Death Knights to slaughter Undead creatures. If he let the Death Knights go by themselves, he would have to worry about encountering an Undead Lord. After all, Lin Li only had 18 Death Knights. If he had 180 of them, he naturally wouldn't have to be afraid of an Undead Lord.
Hence, after returning from the Scar of Death, the 18 Death Knights that Lin Li had subdued were basically idle. It was only when he entered Osric's mausoleum and encountered the Zago Demons on the 72nd floor of the abyss that he used the Summoning Scroll to summon all of them.
However, although Lin Li had lost six Death Knights in the battle with the Zago Demons, it was considered a blessing in disguise. The remaining 12 Death Knights had devoured the soul fire of the Zago Demons, and their strength had increased significantly. In fact, a Death Knight that had devoured the soul fire of a Scourged Ankylosaurus had successfully advanced to become a real Retribution Knight.
According to the legends, when a Retribution Knight appeared in Anril, all the Death Knights would gather around him and become the most loyal warriors under him. Although the Retribution Knight under Lin Li had already regarded Lin Li as its leader, it was still a real Retribution Knight, after all. If the legends were true, it might be able to gradually gather a team of Death Knights.
Hence, when Lin Li returned this time, he added the construction of the Black Front Fortress into his plan, and was prepared to place the completed Black Front Fortress in the Eternal Furnace. However, there was one more thing that Lin Li had to do before starting the construction of the Black Front Fortress, which required the help of Angelano and Connoris. He had to use the crystal coffin to transform the 12 Death Knights under him into Death Knights that could manipulate Divine Power like what he had seen in Osric's mausoleum.
The greatest nemesis of Undead creatures was Divine Power. Although the Death Knights were different from the rest of the Undead creatures, they were still Undead creatures. Hence, if he could change this weakness, it would also be a great improvement to the strength of the Death Knights. A level-19 Death Knight that could manipulate Divine Power would probably not be inferior to a traditional Retribution Knight who had just advanced.
Lin Li even fantasized that if the Retribution Knight could really gather a team of Death Knights, he would transform all the Death Knights into Holy Death Knights. Then, he would lead the 12 Holy Retribution Knights, and they would lead the 12 Holy Death Knights. How cool would that be?
Ever since Lin Li fought for the opportunity to read Osric's diary for Angelano, the naive Angelano firmly believed that Lin Li would definitely abide by the agreement and find a way to release the Fire Demon King in Balak's magical crystal. Hence, as soon as Lin Li said that he wanted Angelano's help, he immediately agreed without hesitation, and did not mention any reward at all.
Connoris, who had a body, signed a servant contract with Lin Li. Hence, how could he refuse his master's request when it would not endanger his own life? Besides, he was indeed interested in operating Osric's work. Hence, he temporarily stopped the fusion of his body, and began to study the operation method of the crystal coffin with Angelano.
After handing over the task of creating the Holy Death Knights to Angelano and Connoris, Lin Li began to prepare for the construction of the Black Front Fortress. Based on Lin Li's current standards, the construction of the Black Front Fortress was actually not complicated at all. It was mainly about the transformation and use of Death Power. Actually, the Black Front Fortress was actually quite similar to the Psychic Array. The construction materials were one of the elements, while the mageweaths and Necromagic Arrays were another. However, those were not a problem for Lin Li.
In an empty space in the Eternal Furnace, the disassembled Titan skeletons were piled up in different categories. That was the place that Lin Li had chosen to build the Black Front Fortress. However, Lin Li could not immerse himself in the construction of the Black Front Fortress. There were still plenty of things for the Tower of Dusk to deal with.
In a few days, the news of Lin Li's return had already spread throughout the Breezy Plains, and the people who came to visit were not only limited to those near Doland. The castellans of the various cities of the Breezy Plains, the patriarchs of the major families, the presidents of the major trade unions, and the leaders of the top few mercenary corps were all influential figures in the Breezy Plains. At this moment, they all came to visit Lin Li personally with lavish gifts.
The pharmaceutical business of the Tower of Dusk had already monopolized the advanced pharmaceutical market of the entire Breezy Plains. Besides, as the potions of the Gilded Rose and the Glittergold Trade Union continued to flow to other parts of the Felan Kingdom, the name of the Tower of Dusk had also gradually spread beyond the Breezy Plains. In the eyes of the major forces of the Breezy Plains, the Tower of Dusk was no longer limited to the Breezy Plains, and had clearly reached a higher level like the Glittergold Trade Union and the Gilded Rose.
The Tower of Dusk was like a seed that Lin Li had planted deep in the soil at the beginning, and was completely ignored by people. When the seed sprouted and broke out of the soil, people knew of its existence, but they could only look down on it. When it grew to the height of a human, people began to take its existence seriously, and would not step on it or step over it. Instead, they would have to go around it. However, the Tower of Dusk had now become a towering tree that even the tallest person would have to look up to and enjoy the shade it brought.
Hence, Lin Li's return from a trip was an extremely ordinary matter, but in the eyes of the people, it was an opportunity that they could not miss to express their friendliness to the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li was not an arrogant person. Since others respected him, he naturally wouldn't show them any displeasure. Hence, while Lin Li was busy building the Black Front Fortress, he also had to continuously receive visitors. He told them about his experience in Osric's mausoleum over and over again. In fact, whenever he mentioned Osric's mausoleum, he would even feel like vomiting.
The people who came to visit could not judge whether Lin Li's experience in Osric's mausoleum was true or not. However, everyone who came first saw the massive palace that was surrounded by flames at the top of the Tower of Dusk. They might not know what the Eternal Furnace was made of, nor did they know what the palace was used for, nor did they know what the palace was used for. However, the massive magical wave that seemed to be able to burn the sky made everyone secretly fearful.
Although Lin Li did not leave the Tower of Dusk for as long as the previous time, everyone who visited the Tower of Dusk knew that there had definitely been a drastic change in the abilities of the young President of the Tower of Dusk and the Tower of Dusk this time.
Although Lin Li did not leave the Tower of Dusk for as long as he did previously, everyone who visited the Tower of Dusk knew that there had definitely been a drastic change in the abilities of the young President of the Tower of Dusk. After more than 10 days of intermittent construction, the Black Front Fortress on the Eternal Furnace was finally completed with Lin Li's hard work.
The entire Black Front Fortress looked like a huge octagonal bone square that was engraved with Necromagic Arrays that were constantly emitting a massive death aura. In the center of the Black Front Fortress, the Titan was holding his pelvis with both hands like a shrine. At the eight corners of the square were curved pillars made of the Titan's eight longest ribs, which looked like machetes that were about to split the sky apart. At the same time, they were also covered with powerful Death mageweaths.
