"The current Chief High Priest of the Darkness Shrine is Master Sendros, who is also a very respectable elder. Under his leadership, the Darkness Shrine has improved in recent years. However, Master Sendros has recently sensed the abnormality of the Eternal Darkness Altar, and thinks that the calamity from back then may be coming again. Hence, he is rather worried. " Lin Li continued to talk about the current situation of the Darkness Shrine. Although he had just joined the Darkness Shrine not long ago, Sendros and the others treated him as the Darkness Incarnation, and did not treat him as an outsider at all. Hence, they really knew a lot about the Darkness Shrine.
Rogge nodded while listening. He should be rather satisfied with Sendros, his successor. However, when he heard Lin Li introduce the few high priests of the Darkness Council, Rogge couldn't help but frown, and asked, "Felic, are you not from the Darkness Shrine?"
"Well, I'm managing a small Guild of Magic in the Breezy Plains, and I happened to be invited by Master Sendros to be a guest during this period of time. I ended up encountering this matter, "Lin Li was not being humble. Although the Tower of Dusk was developing well now, it was indeed only a small Guild of Magic compared to the Darkness Shrine. He did not say that he was invited by Sendros because of this matter, and instead reversed the cause and effect of the matter lest he had to explain about the Darkness Incarnation.
"No wonder. With your strength, you're strong enough to join the Darkness Council in the Darkness Shrine. On the other hand, without Geresco in the Supreme Council, Apophis and the others must be blind to make you the President of a Guild of Magic. If Geresco finds out about this, he'll probably die of anger. " Rogge clearly thought that the matter of Lin Li becoming the President of a Guild of Magic was a mistake made by the Supreme Council. Hence, he unceremoniously scolded Apophis and the other arbitrators of the Supreme Council. In the current Anril, Geresco had already disappeared, and Rogge was the only one who had the right to scold Apophis and the others.
Apohis and the others had been shot even though they were lying down! Lin Li secretly wiped his sweat, and could only apologize to Rogge in his heart.
"Felic, I think you should come to the Darkness Shrine. I'll give you a token, and you can pass it to Sendros when you get out. I believe that with your strength, you'll be able to have a place in the Darkness Council," Rogge said. Rogge was filled with appreciation for talents, especially after hearing that the Darkness Shrine was not doing well recently. Hence, he hoped that he could help the Darkness Shrine recruit this young and talented mage.
Actually, Rogge's idea was not wrong. Generally speaking, what kind of people were the presidents of Guilds of Magic? Other than President Aldwin of the Alanna Guild of Magic, very few presidents of other Guilds of Magic had reached the Legendary-level. The President of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, Gerian, was only level-15 back then, and the Presidents of the Guilds of Magic in the other cities were only around level-17 or 18. As for Lin Li, a Legendary-mage who was at the peak of level-23, it was indeed a waste of his talents to be the President of a Guild of Magic.
Of course, Lin Li couldn't brag in front of Rogge that the Tower of Dusk would surpass the Darkness Shrine's Supreme Council sooner or later. He could only say that he didn't have any ambitions, and that he was satisfied with his current status. Rogge could naturally hear Lin Li's refusal, so he stopped trying to recruit Lin Li. Instead, he gave Lin Li a meaningful look, and changed the topic to something else.
After the conversation, Lin Li learned about some things about the Dark Age from Rogge. At the same time, he also told Rogge about the current situation in Anril. Lin Li felt that it was almost time for him to leave. Anyway, he couldn't settle the score with Nefa, and he couldn't get the branch of Eternity. Hence, there didn't seem to be anything for him to do there. Besides, the previous catastrophe of the Darkness Shrine happened because High Priest Rogge was asleep. This time, High Priest Rogge had already woken up. Hence, the catastrophe of the Darkness Shrine should not happen again.
"High Priest, I'm honored to be able to ask you so many questions, but I've been in here for a long time. Master Sendros and the rest must be waiting anxiously outside. Do you have any words that you want me to bring back to the Darkness Shrine?" Lin Li asked Rogge respectfully.
Rogge pondered for a moment, and looked at Lin Li. "I do have something that I need your help with."
"Please tell me. As long as it's within my means, I will definitely not decline," Lin Li said without hesitation. It was not only because he needed Rogge's help when he returned, but also because he respected the high priest. Besides, he believed that Rogge wouldn't ask him to do things that were beyond his abilities. Hence, he was happy to share some of the burden with this respectable old man as long as it was within his means.
Rogge nodded, and slowly said to Lin Li, "It's not a difficult matter. I hope you can return to the top of the mountain and help me bring a message to that little black dragon. I can give him the branch of Eternity that he wants, but he has to come down and do me a favor first."
"What? Give him the branch of Eternity? Then wouldn't he … "Lin Li was shocked by Rogge's words. However, at the thought of Tutankhamun outside, Nefa wouldn't be truly free even if he regained his freedom. At least, he wouldn't dare to set foot in Anril. However, there was another problem. Lin Li asked Rogge in confusion, "But high priest, doesn't Nefa have to suppress the power of this Fire Elemental World at the top of the mountain? I'm afraid he won't be able to come down to see you."
Rogge smiled, and confidently said, "Don't worry about that. I have a way to suppress that power for him. You just have to bring the message to him. I think he won't reject it."
"Alright, I'll make the trip on your behalf, then," Lin Li agreed with a nod. Although he really wanted the branch of Eternity, what Rogge wanted to do was obviously not something that he could help with with his abilities. As for the branch of Eternity, he only needed to know who had it. With the speed of his improvement in abilities, he might be able to get the branch of Eternity back from Nefa.
After temporarily bidding farewell to Rogge, Lin Li immediately set off to return to the top of the volcano. He had spent some time searching for treasures in this world, but there was no need to delay on the way back. Lin Li directly used the Power of Flight, and his body seemed to have turned into a bolt of lightning as he shot towards the top of the mountain. It only took him a moment to fly to the top of the mountain.
What exactly did that human mage do? Why did Rogge wake up at this time!? At this moment, Nefa was feeling a little uneasy because he had already felt Rogge's aura previously, which meant that Rogge had already woken up from his slumber. This was something that he had never expected. Although the power that had been tormenting him had suddenly disappeared just now, allowing him to experience the long-awaited feeling of relaxation, Nefa was not at ease at all. He racked his brains to guess what exactly had happened at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, Lin Li returned to the top of the mountain, and directly flew over the heads of the prehistoric magical beasts before landing opposite Nefa. Lin Li naturally did not have a good attitude towards Nefa, who had set a trap for him. However, because Rogge still had something that he needed Nefa's help with, he had no choice but to suppress the hatred in his heart. He glared at Nefa, and said, "Why? Is it very strange that I can come back alive? Have I disappointed you!?"
"Hah, what do you mean by that? Did you see Rogge down there?" Nefa knew that his tricks had definitely been seen through by Rogge. Hence, he did not know how to answer Lin Li's question, and could only change the topic.
"You know very well what I mean!" Lin Li resisted the urge to skin Nefa alive, and coldly said, "High Priest Rogge wants to see you now. If you want to get the branch of Eternity, come with me to the foot of the mountain now."
Nefa's eyelids twitched twice. From Lin Li's words, he knew that the sudden disappearance of the power should be due to Rogge's attack. It seemed that after this slumber, Rogge's strength had increased greatly. Although the power that had imprisoned him had disappeared, Nefa also knew that it did not mean that he was free. Apart from not being tortured by the power of the Fire Elemental World for the time being, his situation was actually no different from before.
"Alright." Nefa nodded reluctantly. Although he knew that Rogge definitely did not look for him for anything good, he did not seem to have any other choice. Where could he go after leaving this place? Anril still had his good brother waiting to kill him, and the Fire Elemental World was simply a forbidden zone for him.
Seeing that Nefa had nodded, Lin Li did not wait for him, and directly turned to fly down the mountain. Nefa looked around and pondered for a moment. He had no choice but to follow Lin Li's back with a bitter smile. Although Nefa was unwilling to face Rogge, the temptation of the branch of Eternity was not small. Although he had told Lin Li that he could take the branch of Eternity, in fact, if the plan had succeeded, Lin Li would not have been able to take the branch of Eternity away.
The two of them quickly returned to the bottom of the volcano, where Rogge was waiting quietly with flames all over his body. Initially, Nefa did not think much of Lin Li's strength. After all, a level-23 Legendary-mage was at most a slightly larger ant to a Sanctuary powerhouse. However, Nefa was secretly shocked by the flight. After all, he was a wyrm, and flying was his instinct. Yet, he could not catch up with a human mage who used the Power of Flight. It was unbelievable.
Of course, Nefa would not know that when Lin Li was still an Archmage, he could already use the Levitation Spell as well as the Power of Flight. After stepping into the Legendary-realm, he put in a lot of effort in the Power of Flight. Putting his strength aside, there were probably only a handful of people in Anril who could catch up with Lin Li in terms of the Power of Flight. Although Lin Li seemed to be courageous and fearless most of the time, he had never slacked off when it came to escaping and saving his life.
