Markelyle's hands were trembling slightly as he held onto the pieces of paper. Even with his Master-level attainments, he still had a rough understanding of many of the formulas on the paper. He actually found the answers to many of the questions that he had been having for a long time in the calculation of some of the formulas. He could tell that the ink on the paper was still fresh, and had clearly just been written. There was probably no one else in this laboratory who could have written those things down.
Lin Li ignored Markelyle's actions. Anyway, the results of his calculations had already been imprinted in his mind, and the pieces of paper that recorded the calculation process were useless. It would be fine if Markelyle could stay there quietly, but if he continued to make a fuss, Lin Li wouldn't mind throwing him out of the laboratory.
Seeing that they couldn't fight anymore, Joan secretly broke out in cold sweat, and hurriedly went over to Markelyle, who was already immersed in various formulas, and carefully pulled out the crumpled list of herbs from his hands. He then quickly fled the laboratory.
"M-Master Felic." After looking at a few pieces of paper that contained formulas, Markelyle understood in his heart that the young pharmacist's attainments in pharmaceutics had already surpassed his by leaps and bounds. At the thought of his behavior just now, he felt extremely ashamed, and wished he could immediately cover his face and flee. However, he couldn't bear to leave the pieces of paper that contained the calculation process of various formulas.
What was recorded on the paper were some calculations that Lin Li had made in order to formulate the Tribute of Darkness. The Tribute of Darkness was a Guru-level potion that was at the peak of the Guru-level, and was made using the best pharmaceutical techniques. In order to improve the success rate of the preparation, Lin Li dissected some of the extremely difficult techniques, analyzed the various difficulties in depth, and found a solution to reduce the difficulty. To ordinary pharmacists, the notes were simply a detailed explanation of the difficult problems in pharmaceutics, which had an immeasurable effect on the improvement of a pharmacist's standards.
"Okay," Lin Li answered, but he did not turn around, nor did he stop what he was doing at all.
"Master Felic, I wonder if you can let me copy your notes," Markelyle said with a blush. He had just said that Lin Li was courting death, and now he wanted to copy Lin Li's notes. That was really a slap to his face. However, he was very clear that something like face should be thrown away without the slightest hesitation. With these notes, his pharmaceutical level would definitely be greatly improved. Face was nothing.
"Take it away. Don't bother me." Lin Li said impatiently. To him, those were just waste paper, and he would throw them away sooner or later.
Lin Li's impolite answer sounded like music to Markelyle's ears, and he immediately began to play the role of a cleaner excitedly. There were notes on the table, on the ground, and in the pile of waste paper. Markelyle felt as if he had entered a huge treasure trove, and the more he searched, the more excited he became.
In the following days, there was an extra cleaner who worked hard in the laboratory. She was more careful and serious than any other cleaner. She never let go of a single piece of paper in the laboratory.
A few days later, Lin Li completed all the calculations and experiments, and felt that he was quite confident. He finally began to prepare the Tribute of Darkness. It was only at this moment that Markelyle found out that the young pharmacist was already a pharmaceutics Guru, and was going to challenge the legendary Tribute of Darkness that even pharmaceutics Gurus could not do anything about.
Due to the fact that he had already made sufficient preparations, there were no accidents during the preparation of the Tribute of Darkness. Sendros and Markelyle watched the entire preparation process, and even gained a lot from it. Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and Sendros spent every day in trepidation until he saw Lin Li add the last herb into the flask, and the potion in the flask slowly transformed into the legendary potion.
"Master Sendros, High Priests, thank you for your hospitality these past few days!" Lin Li said to Sendros and the others who were sending them off on the Obsidian Square outside the Darkness Shrine.
"Master Felic, it's all thanks to you this time. Not only did you help the Darkness Shrine survive this disaster, but you also concocted the Tribute of Darkness. Regardless of whether you are willing to admit that identity or not, you will always be the closest friend of the Darkness Shrine. You are always welcome to be our guest, "Sendros said with some excitement on his face. Sendros couldn't hide the excitement on his face. At this moment, the precious Tribute of Darkness was with him, and it was the key to the Sanctuary-realm.
Lin Li waved his hand, and without saying anything else, he directly used the Power of Flight to fly out of the Night Canyon. Although Lin Li had helped the Darkness Shrine a lot this time, he had also gained a lot from it. The resurrection of the Seed of Eternity allowed him to advance to level-24, and he even gained some insight into the power of the Sanctuary-realm with Rogge's guidance. In the process of concocting the Tribute of Darkness, his pharmaceutics skills had also improved significantly. In fact, he had definitely gained a lot this time.
After leaving the Night Canyon, Lin Li did not immediately return to the Tower of Dusk, and instead headed to Sparta, the capital of the Ledin Kingdom. The Tower of Dusk was now developing well, and he did not need to worry much at all. Hence, his focus now was to improve his strength and make preparations for some things in the future.
In Sparta, the capital of the Ledin Kingdom, for the sake of protecting the royal family of the Ledin Kingdom, the power that the Brilliance Shrine had set up there was second only to the Holy City of Delano, and was personally overseen by the leader of the four archbishops, Archbishop Englos. Of course, whether it was protection or surveillance depended on one's understanding of it.
With the decree issued by the pope of the Brilliance Shrine, the business of the Tower of Dusk in the Ledin Kingdom developed extremely smoothly. Almost during the time that Lin Li was in the Darkness Shrine, they had seized a large share of the market in terms of potions and magical equipment. Now, in Sparta, the Tower of Dusk had also run a few large-scale shops that sold potions and magical equipment produced by the Tower of Dusk.
After Lin Li arrived in Sparta, the first thing he did was to walk around a few shops and check out the operation of the shops. In fact, he did not give them any guidance, because he knew his limits. At the same time, it was more important to inform the Tower of Dusk of his whereabouts so that they would not go to the Darkness Shrine to look for him if anything happened.
After leaving the businesses of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li walked along the clean and wide streets like he was taking a leisurely stroll, and arrived at the Dawn Cathedral in the center of Sparta. Due to the large size of Sparta, there were dozens of Dawn Cathedrals in the Brilliance Shrine, and the Dawn Cathedral in the center of the city was where Archbishop Englos presided over the church affairs.
When Lin Li arrived in front of the Dawn Cathedral, he did not attract too much attention. After all, there were too many believers of Holy Light coming and going to the cathedral every day. However, before Lin Li could get the priest of the cathedral to inform them, Archbishop Englos had already come out to welcome him with a smile on his face. This time, the people could not help but pay attention to the young man who was dressed like a mage. How could Archbishop Englos come out to welcome him? Everyone began to guess Lin Li's identity.
"Felic, I knew it was you. I didn't expect you to have already …" As soon as Lin Li approached the Dawn Cathedral, Englos had already felt the strong mana wave, and guessed Lin Li's identity. However, when they met, he was shocked by Lin Li's aura. He glanced at the people around him, and said to Lin Li, "Let's go in and talk."
Lin Li followed Englos to the back of the cathedral, and Englos first introduced the two people beside him. One was Cardinal Sodom, who was in charge of the diocese of Sparta, and was considered Archbishop Englos' assistant. The other was the Holy Light Paladin Captain Havalon, who was in charge of the armed forces of the Brilliance Shrine in the diocese of Sparta.
Sodom and Havalon were both less than 40 years old, and should be considered young and promising models for being able to sit in their current positions. According to the rules of the Brilliance Shrine, those two positions could only be occupied by Legendary-level people, and the two of them were naturally no exception. Since they had Legendary-level abilities at such a young age, it was obvious that they were geniuses since they were young.
However, it was also because of their age that they were not very clear about the matter of Pope Rosario's poisoning, even though they were considered the higher-ups of the Brilliance Shrine. Hence, the two of them were very curious about the young mage that the higher-ups of the Brilliance Shrine had been talking about recently.
Of course, they did not doubt the authenticity of those praises. The higher-ups of the Brilliance Shrine couldn't all be brainless, nor did they have any thoughts of being indignant. That would be too childish for them at their age, but deep down, they still found it unbelievable.
Now, looking at Lin Li's young appearance and sensing the powerful mana waves emanating from his body, Sodom and Havalon couldn't help but be dumbfounded. If they hadn't heard Englos mention Lin Li's age, the two of them would probably have thought that the young man in front of them was simply an old monster in disguise. He's only in his early twenties, but his mana waves are probably not weaker than Archbishop Englos'. Is this young mage really human!?
"Bishop Sodom, Knight Captain Havalon, it's an honor to meet both of you," Lin Li greeted them politely after hearing Englos' introduction.
"Oh, Master Felic, hello," Sodom and Havalon hurriedly greeted Lin Li as if they had suddenly snapped out of their trance.
Englos completely understood the behavior of his two subordinates, and hence did not hold it against them for losing their composure. Instead, he smiled and gestured for Lin Li to take a seat, and said, "Felic, take a seat. Don't take it to heart. Even I was shocked by your change when I saw you just now. I remember that you should have already reached the peak of level-23 when you went to the Darkness Shrine. I really don't know what you encountered in the Darkness Shrine. It's only been a short time, and yet you've broken through again. "
"I have to thank Master Sendros for his guidance, and for letting me read the Darkness scripture," said Lin Li. Englos and Sendros had a deep friendship, so Lin Li didn't have too many concerns when talking about the Darkness Shrine and Sendros.
"I'm very clear about the level of that dead-faced fellow, and I don't doubt that his guidance can help you advance. However, I don't think you've just advanced. If I'm not wrong, you've already seen that door, haven't you? " Englos asked as he looked at Lin Li with some anticipation in his eyes, just like how Sendros had done in the past.
Upon hearing Englos' question, Sodom and Havalon immediately turned to look at Lin Li. They knew what Englos meant, and hence looked at the young mage in front of them while their hearts began to beat faster. The Sanctuary powerhouses of Anril were basically all from the end of the Dark Age, and their deeds were no different from myths to most people. At this moment, although Lin Li's answer had nothing to do with the two of them, it seemed to them to be able to witness the birth of a myth, which seemed to be an extremely glorious thing.
Under the gaze of the three of them, Lin Li nodded, and said, "Yes, but it's not real yet."
Lin Li's voice was very soft and calm, but to Englos and the others, it sounded like thunder and lightning. Sodom and Havalon's breathing quickened, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. The Sanctuary-realm was simply a delusion for most people. Even for most Legendary powerhouses, it was just an illusory dream. However, a person who was advancing from the Legendary-realm to the Sanctuary-realm was right in front of them now. Even though it was just a dream coming true from someone else, it was enough to make them extremely excited.
Englos didn't ask too much about Lin Li's experiences in the Darkness Shrine. As a good friend of Sendros for many years, he was well aware of how awkward it would be for Lin Li to be questioned. Hence, after asking some unimportant questions, Englos changed the topic to another interest of his, and took out a notebook to consult Lin Li about pharmaceutics.
Sodom and Havalon felt like they were on the verge of breaking down. Archbishop Englos seemed to have become a different person, and was no longer as dignified as he used to be. At this moment, Archbishop Englos was holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other. He was asking all sorts of questions while taking notes quickly and seriously, just like a diligent and studious primary school student.
Sodom and Havalon did not know much about pharmaceutics, nor were they too interested in it. Hence, although they were surprised that Englos was asking Lin Li for advice, it was far less shocking than when they heard about the Sanctuary-realm. After sitting for a while, the two of them finally couldn't sit still anymore. God knew how Archbishop Englos was going to be taught a lesson in the future.
