Take the Brilliance Shrine for example. Putting aside the pope and the four archbishops, the cardinals alone were at least Legendary-level powerhouses. There was also the Holy Light Knights who were in charge of guarding, and the Head Knight Commanders were all Legendary-level Sword Sages. There were probably close to 100 Legendary powerhouses in the Brilliance Shrine. Who would dare to provoke them?
As for the Tower of Dusk, at least in the eyes of outsiders, apart from the Legendary-level President and the two Legendary-level Undead servants, they did not have any other formidable forces. Even if those mages had reached the peak of level-19, they would not pose any threat to a true Legendary powerhouse as long as they did not take the final step.
"However, even if it's just you and your two Undead servants, I'm afraid there won't be many forces in the Breezy Plains that would dare to touch you." Englos was actually not very clear about the true strength of the Tower of Dusk, but he knew that Lin Li's strength was already at the peak of the Legendary-level, which was already not something that ordinary Legendary powerhouses could contend with. Hence, he was not too worried about the Tower of Dusk this time.
"Yes, the Breezy Plains is not big, after all," Lin Li said with a nod.
The top force of the Breezy Plains would definitely be the Glittergold Trade Union. Not to mention in the Breezy Plains, the Glittergold Trade Union was also one of the powerful forces in the Felan Kingdom and Anril. However, the Glittergold Trade Union was the first to establish a cooperative relationship with the Tower of Dusk, and they were well aware of the true value of the Tower of Dusk. Their cooperation had also allowed them to continuously obtain considerable benefits. Hence, the Glittergold Trade Union would definitely not do such a thing.
The Dark Blade used to be the top bandit group in the Breezy Plains. In the past, they would definitely be involved in such matters. Unfortunately, with the departure of the three Legendary leaders, the Dark Blade could no longer protect themselves. Although the Tower of Dusk had not taken any action against the remaining members of the Dark Blade, the Malfa Family would definitely not allow a second Dark Blade to appear.
As for the Malfa Family, they were no longer on the same level as the Tower of Dusk in terms of strength even though they were the top family in the Breezy Plains. Given Cheyenne's shrewdness, he would definitely not participate in such matters. Besides, the cooperation between the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk would only bring them more benefits, and the last thing they wanted was for the Tower of Dusk.
In the Breezy Plains, as soon as the top forces were mentioned, many people would immediately bring up the so-called rankings such as the top 10 bandit groups, the major families, and the major mercenary corps. However, there were countless forces of various sizes in the vast Breezy Plains, some of which had existed since the Dark Age. How could they be summarized by a few rankings? The truly established traditional forces disdained this kind of boring game. They preferred to operate behind the scenes, and only benefits were their number one priority.
When Lin Li first established the Tower of Dusk, his understanding of the various forces in the Breezy Plains actually stopped at the rankings. The traditional forces of the Breezy Plains were rather repulsive to him, an outsider. Hence, they naturally wouldn't tell him which forces he had to be wary of in the Breezy Plains. As for the Malfa Family, although they had a cooperative relationship with the Tower of Dusk, the Malfa Family was actually an external force that had only been established in the Breezy Plains for a few hundred years. Hence, they had yet to truly integrate into the circle of traditional forces in the Breezy Plains.
However, there was something that Cheyenne couldn't compare to Lin Li in, and that was the source of information that he could obtain was not limited to the Breezy Plains. In particular, recently, he had been shuttling between the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine, which had been established in Anril since the end of the Dark Age. After the Dark Age, everything that happened in Anril was no longer a secret to them, let alone the traditional forces of the Breezy Plains.
Hence, when he heard Alan mention an unknown force, Lin Li immediately thought of the so-called hidden veteran forces in the Breezy Plains. After connecting it with the information in his memory, he had almost figured out the identity of the unknown force. In Lin Li's opinion, the Blood Moon Clan and the Mithril Alliance were the biggest suspects in the entire Breezy Plains. Of course, there would definitely be many other forces that were cooperating with them.
It was said that the predecessor of the Blood Moon Clan was the Blood Moon Guards under a certain High Elven lord, and most of the members were mixed-blood High Elves and humans. Of course, this mixed-blood did not mean that the High Elves and humans had sexual relations. After all, that was not the only way to have sexual relations in Anril. Besides, in addition to the mixed-blood High Elves and humans, there were also mixed-blood Wyrms and humans, as well as mixed-blood Abyssal Demons and humans. In short, the Blood Moon Guards were also known as the Hybrid Legion by the rebels at the end of the Dark Age.
During the war at the end of the Dark Age, the Blood Moon Guards and the High Elven lord failed to stop the rebels. The High Elven lord was killed, and the remnants of the Blood Moon Guards escaped into the abyss. It wasn't until the end of the Dark Age that the rebels broke up because of their interests that the remnants of the Blood Moon Guards quietly returned to Anril, and became a powerful underground force in the Breezy Plains under the name of the Blood Moon Clan.
Due to the fact that the mixed-blood members of the Blood Moon Clan were no different from humans when their bloodline was awakened, no one noticed them for a long time. It was only when the Brilliance Shrine was purifying a heretic of the Blood Moon Clan that they discovered the secret of the Blood Moon Clan. However, at that time, the power of the Brilliance Shrine could no longer affect the Breezy Plains, so they simply left a nail in the coffin of the Felan Kingdom.
Of course, since the Blood Moon Clan had developed to this point, it was impossible for all the members to be mixed-blood humans due to the lack of the mixed-blood technology back then. Only the true core members were mixed-blood humans, and the core members who could survive until now were definitely rather terrifying.
Compared to the Blood Moon Clan, the Mithril Alliance was a purely human force that had a longer history than the Blood Moon Clan. It had already existed in the Breezy Plains since the Dark Age, and was the true traditional force of the Breezy Plains. The original Mithril Alliance was composed of 13 families of the Breezy Plains, each of which was incomparable to the Malfa Family. In particular, after the end of the Dark Age, they became the actual rulers of the Breezy Plains, and even the Felan Kingdom could not interfere.
However, during the battle with the Blood Moon Clan, seven families of the Mithril Alliance perished one after another. The strength of the Blood Moon Clan was one of the reasons, but it might also be due to the internal strife of the Mithril Alliance. After the seven families perished, the remaining six families of the Mithril Alliance quickly reached a truce agreement with the Blood Moon Clan, and jointly divided the massive wealth accumulated by the seven families.
In the Breezy Plains today, the Blood Moon Clan and the Mithril Alliance were both hidden behind the scenes, and very few people knew about the situation of the two forces. In fact, most people had never even heard of their names. However, they had influence in every corner of the Breezy Plains, and it was said that many of the forces in the Breezy Plains were actually controlled by the two forces. As long as there were interests, they would definitely appear.
Although the Tower of Dusk had developed very quickly in the past, the pharmaceutical business, which was their pillar industry, was still limited by the market, after all. No matter how much they increased the production of potions, there would not be much change in the market demand. Not everyone could afford expensive potions, and those who bought potions did not treat them as food, either. Perhaps, they were saving them for emergencies. Hence, although the Tower of Dusk was developing very quickly, they could at most reach the level of the Dark Blade due to the limited market.
However, after reaching an agreement with the Ledin Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine, especially with the supply of high-quality ores from the Ledin Kingdom, the Tower of Dusk began to expand their forging business, and their development speed immediately increased tremendously. With such a development momentum, they would probably be able to threaten the status of the Blood Moon Clan and the Mithril Alliance after a period of development. Of course, more importantly, the massive wealth that the Tower of Dusk had accumulated was something that even the Blood Moon Clan and the Mithril Alliance could not help but be envious of.
"Okay, I already know what happened. Go get some rest, and then go back to the Tower of Dusk. Tell Gavin not to worry." Although he had guessed that the Blood Moon Clan and the Mithril Alliance might be the cause of the matter this time, Lin Li did not seem worried at all, nor did he immediately decide to return to the Tower of Dusk.
"But, President, you …" Alan could not be as calm as Lin Li, especially after hearing Lin Li's introduction of the Blood Moon Clan and the Mithril Alliance. After knowing that the Tower of Dusk was facing an unprecedentedly strong enemy this time, he became even more worried.
Lin Li waved his hand and did not explain further. He said, "I still have some things to do. I'll go back after I'm done. It shouldn't take long. By the way, the deal with Prince Arthur should have been completed, right? "
"Yes, Prince Arthur has already traded the two magical crystals to us," Sherlock said with a smile. Although Alan could not understand why Lin Li was still concerned about the two Legendary magical crystals at this juncture, he had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, and answer respectfully.
"Okay, keep an eye on those two magical crystals. They're useful to me," Lin Li instructed. He then told Alan to go and rest, while he continued to discuss pharmaceutics with Englos as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him.
The next day, Alan left the Dawn Cathedral and returned to the Tower of Dusk with a head full of questions and worries after bidding farewell to Lin Li. Lin Li also bade farewell to Englos, and used the Power of Flight to fly towards the Holy City of Delano.
When he arrived at the Holy Mountain, Lin Li met several senior executives of the Brilliance Shrine, which naturally caused them to be surprised because of the increase in his strength. However, this time, Lin Li had no choice but to apologize to the people who raised questions about pharmaceutics, and asked to meet Pope Rosario.
