After Gergila finished speaking, he looked at Lin Li and waited for the young genius mage to answer. However, he did not notice the awkward expression on Sendros' face. As for the other four high priests, some of them noticed Sendros' expression, but they all thought that he was blaming them for making things difficult for the distinguished guest that he had invited. However, the matter concerned the survival of the Darkness Shrine, so the high priests had no choice but to apologize to Sendros after the matter was over.
In fact, at this moment, the five high priests were even more certain that they had done the right thing, because they could clearly see the confusion on Lin Li's face. When they were discussing the Magic Chain previously, Lin Li's expression was very calm. Hence, the confusion at this moment was obvious.
Finally, under the expectant gaze of the five high priests, Lin Li touched his nose in embarrassment, and said to Gergila, "I'm sorry, did you consume too much of your mana? I've never encountered this problem before. Is the Thunderstorm Disaster really very mana consuming? "
Lin Li's answer immediately made the five high priests feel dumbfounded. What kind of answer was that? Did he say that he could or couldn't do it? The five high priests wouldn't believe that Lin Li didn't know about the Thunderstorm Disaster. After all, he was also a level-23 Legendary-mage, so how could he not know about magic that was suitable for his level? However, what did he mean by he had never encountered such a problem before? Could it be that he had never used a Forbidden Spell before?
Everyone looked at Sendros in bewilderment, but Sendros was full of awkwardness at this moment. He did not explain anything to the five high priests, and instead turned his head to say to Lin Li, "Master Felic, you've come from afar. Why don't we stop here today? I'll get someone to arrange a place for you to rest."
Lin Li also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get any answers today. Hence, he nodded, and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Master Sendros." He then left the hall under the lead of a priest that Sendros had called, and headed to the room that had been prepared for him to rest.
After Lin Li left, the five high priests stood up one after another, and walked towards Sendros. Lin Li's answer just now was way beyond everyone's expectations, and the five high priests had yet to figure out what the young mage meant.
As the one who raised the question, Gergila adjusted the golden crown on his head, and said to Sendros in a hoarse voice, "Lord, we also know that what we did just now was a little rude to Master Felic, but it's all for the sake of the Darkness Shrine. Besides, Master Felic avoided answering the last question. How can we rest assured and entrust the fate of the Darkness Shrine to him? "
Sendros was a little infuriated, but he also knew that they were not doing it out of selfishness, but for the sake of the Darkness Shrine. Hence, he suppressed his displeasure, and said, "Fool, didn't Master Felic already answer your question? Haven't you figured it out yet?"
However, Sendros' words made Gergila and the others even more confused. Could that even be called an answer? If it had to be called an answer, then it could only be said that the other party admitted that he was powerless on this issue. However, if that was really the answer, Sendros' behavior at this moment seemed to be a little unreasonable.
Seeing that the few high priests were still bewildered, Sendros' anger rose again, and he stood up to look at them. Extremely displeased, he hollered, "What are you guys thinking? Didn't I tell you before that this person has almost infinite mana!?"
"This …" The few high priests wanted to say that it was impossible, but when they saw Sendros' expression, they dared not say anything else. Besides, with their trust in Sendros, they didn't think that there was any need for Sendros to deceive them about this matter even though they found it unbelievable.
No wonder Master Felic said that he had never encountered such a problem before. Since he had almost infinite mana, a mere Thunderstorm Disaster would be nothing to him. The infinite chain of magic that he mentioned previously was probably not just theoretical. With the support of infinite mana, it would not be difficult for him to break Geresco's and Aegno's records.
The five high priests looked at each other for a while, and when they recalled the test in the name of discussion, they felt that they were just like clowns. In particular, Gergila's skeleton-like face was slightly flushed, which was rare. How could he not be ashamed? A beggar was testing a billionaire's way of saving money, asking him how to solve the problem of bread being too expensive. Wasn't this asking for a slap?
However, although the five high priests felt a little ashamed about what had happened previously, they did not think that they had done anything wrong. Besides, they still did not trust Lin Li's abilities as fully as Sendros did. In fact, they really couldn't be blamed for this. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't place all their hopes on someone they didn't know anything about.
In fact, Sendros also understood what the five high priests were thinking. After all, everyone was doing it for the Darkness Shrine. Besides, if it weren't for the fact that he was the chief high priest and knew more about Lin Li than the others, he probably wouldn't have believed Lin Li's words so easily. However, understanding was one thing. Although there were some things that could not be said explicitly, he still had to warn them. With a sullen expression, Sendros said to the five high priests, "Master Felic is a distinguished guest of the Darkness Shrine. When you go back, restrain your subordinates. If I find out that anyone dares to disrespect Master Felic, I'll make him repent on the execution platform even if he's your biological son."
"Yes." The five high priests couldn't help but shiver, and they hurriedly bowed to Sendros. Although they were all members of the Darkness Council, High Priest Sendros was the true leader of the Darkness Shrine. In the Darkness Shrine, Sendros' status was similar to that of the Pope of the Brilliance Shrine. He was the spiritual leader of all the believers of Darkness, and no one dared to disobey him.
Lin Li was led to the resting room by a high priest. Actually, there was nothing much to rest in. Although he had flown directly from the Brilliance Shrine using the Power of Flight, the 23-year-old Legendary-mage did not feel tired at all. Besides, his mental strength and mana were so terrifying. However, what made him feel regretful was that he did not ask Sendros about the important matter, and did not know if it was important or not. Also, when he was in the hall, he had a conversation with the two high priests. Although they were discussing some issues, he did not gain anything from it at all.
After sending the high priest away, Lin Li did not think about anything else. Instead, he took out the Book of Eternity and began to read it. In just a moment, he was completely immersed in it. He had been in possession of the Book of Eternity for almost two years, but the more he read, the more he felt that the knowledge in it was profound and extensive. The more he felt that he was still far from fully understanding the book. The works of Geresco, the God of Mages, were definitely not comparable to ordinary magic books. Lin Li could clearly feel that he had made progress after comprehending every single sentence.
The next two days were rather peaceful, and Sendros did not ask Lin Li about anything. Lin Li naturally did not bother to ask, either. Who would complain about not having enough to do? Apart from learning magic and reading the Book of Eternity, he would tour the Darkness Shrine under the guidance of the two high priests whenever he had time.
Everyone in the Darkness Shrine, be it the ordinary believers or the black-robed priests, would be respectful to Lin Li. In fact, there was no need for Sendros' special warning. As soon as the believers of Darkness heard that Lin Li was the guest of the chief high priest, none of them dared to be rude at all. Back in the Brilliance Shrine, if it weren't for the fact that Pope Rosario's poisoning had to be kept a secret, Siddarth wouldn't have dared to jump out no matter how stupid he was.
Although there was almost no obvious alternation between day and night in the Darkness Shrine, Lin Li judged that it should be early in the morning. There was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Li put away the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction that he was injecting his mental strength into, got up, and opened the door.
There were two people standing outside the door. One was a servant who listened to Lin Li's orders, and the other was the black-robed priest Balesi who had brought Lin Li around the Darkness Shrine for the past two days. Although the Darkness Shrine was not small, Lin Li had already visited most of the places after two days of touring. Actually, there was nothing much to see, especially for Lin Li. What he really wanted to see was the Darkness scripture of the Darkness Shrine, but it was not appropriate for him to mention that to Sendros. After all, he could read the Light Bible back then because he had helped Pope Rosario get rid of the Viper's poison. Speaking of his friendship with Sendros, it seemed to be a far cry from saving his life.
However, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in Balesi's expression today. After seeing Lin Li open the door and come out, he first bowed and greeted him before saying, "Master Felic, today is the day of the Darkness Sacrifice. The Night Werewolves and the Vampires will be holding a ritual to worship the God of Darkness in the arena. The high priest asked me to invite you to watch. I wonder if you're interested."
The Night Werewolves and the Vampires were the two Dark Races with the strongest belief in Darkness. Legend had it that the two races were natural enemies, and would fight to the death once they met. However, in fact, the battle between the two races was more of a ritual to worship the God of Darkness. However, there was no performance involved, and it was a real sacrifice of blood and lives.
Lin Li could actually imagine that no matter how intense the battle during the ritual would be, it would definitely not be of a high level. At most, it would be a battle between a level-10 Werewolf and a Vampire. To Lin Li, a battle of such a level was basically like an adult watching a fight between a child. However, on second thought, Lin Li felt that since he had nothing better to do, he wouldn't stay in the house. Hence, he nodded, and said, "Oh, okay, I'll go take a look, then."
Following Balesi, Lin Li arrived at an arena in the Darkness Shrine, where he could hear the cheers from afar. When they arrived at the viewing platform in front of the arena, Lin Li greeted the five high priests one by one, and then sat down in the seats that he had arranged for him. However, there was one thing that made Lin Li feel a little strange. Such a ritual was actually just like the prayers of the believers of Light, which should be a very common thing in the Darkness Shrine. Yet, the five high priests had all appeared there. Did they specially wait for him, or were they too bored?
Looking at the center of the arena, Lin Li saw a young Night Werewolf fighting with a Vampire. Just as Lin Li had expected, both of them were only level-15. The scene of the battle was very intense, but Lin Li felt that it was really boring in the eyes of a Legendary powerhouse.
Moreover, werewolves and vampires shared a common trait, which was that their bodies had extremely strong regenerative abilities. Unless their limbs were broken or their abdomens were cut open, injuries that were enough to render them immobile were not a big deal at all. This also caused the battle between both sides to be greatly prolonged. After watching four battles, Lin Li felt like yawning. It was not that he looked down on others or anything, but the problem was that all he wanted to do now was to improve his own strength. If it was a battle between masters, he could gain some combat experience, but this was a battle between children, or rather, a battle between toddlers who were learning how to walk. There was really nothing worth learning.
"Master Felic, I'm really envious of you after hearing so many adventures that day. It's a pity that I can't easily leave this place due to my duties. At most, I can hone my combat experience with them. It's just that we've been together for so many years, and we all know each other very well, so sparring isn't much different from sparring below. " The Lich Gergila seemed to be a little emotional as he looked at the arena and shook his skull that was wearing a golden crown.
"Hehe, High Priest Gergila, don't complain to me. No matter what, you have a few companions of comparable strength that you can spar with often. Where else can I find such an opportunity in the Tower of Dusk?" Lin Li responded smilingly, not thinking too much about the topic that Gergila suddenly brought up.
However, Gergila seemed to have suddenly thought of something as he turned his head to look at Lin Li with a glint of excitement in his eyes. "Master Felic, I have a request that is a little rude. Please don't take it to heart. I wonder if I can take this opportunity today to ask you for some practical combat experience. "
"Oh?" Lin Li looked at Gergila, but unfortunately, he couldn't see much of an expression on his skeletal face. However, he didn't detect any provocation in Gergila's words, and it seemed that he was really just trying to exchange some experience.
Apart from Sendros' invitation, Lin Li had also come with the intention of learning and understanding Dark Magic. Gergila was a Lich who specialized in Dark Magic, and even Sendros praised him for his attainments in Dark Magic when he talked about him. Hence, Lin Li did not reject this request, and he was actually more than happy to have such a Legendary powerhouse as an opponent.
