At this moment, Hoffman was already overjoyed. Although he couldn't understand why the Ashen Warlock was so biased towards the Tower of Dusk, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to the Glittergold Trade Union now that the status of the Tower of Dusk had been stabilized. Recently, the Tower of Dusk had been suppressed by the local forces, and there were also many discordant voices within the Glittergold Trade Union. The most common reason was that the Tower of Dusk was an external force, and they felt that the Tower of Dusk would be squeezed out by the local forces sooner or later.
However, who still dared to make an issue out of it now!? Hoffman couldn't wait to go back and see how the expressions of those who held such opinions would be after hearing the news. The victory of the Tower of Dusk also meant that Hoffman had won in the Glittergold Trade Union, and his prestige in the Glittergold Trade Union would definitely be elevated to an unparalleled height because of his insistence on working closely with the Tower of Dusk.
"Okay, disperse." The Ashen Warlock ended the gathering with a single sentence, but when the crowd was about to disperse, he said to Lin Li, who had been queuing behind everyone, "Felic, come with me." After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked into the dilapidated tower under the astonished gazes of the crowd without waiting for Lin Li's response.
The people present had yet to digest the shock just now, and they were all dumbfounded at this moment. The Ashen Warlock was the god of the Breezy Plains, and the tower that was damaged on the outside was undoubtedly a sacred place. Such gatherings had been held countless times, but no one had ever been invited to the tower by the Ashen Warlock. Every gathering would be held in the small open space where there wasn't even a place to sit. They would listen to the Ashen Warlock's rulings again and again, and determine the territory of the forces of the Breezy Plains. However, no one dared to express the slightest dissatisfaction.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Li, as if they were trying to find an answer that could explain everything from the young mage. Who didn't know that they were just like ants in the eyes of the Ashen Warlock? However, there was actually an ant like them who was invited to enter the sacred tower by the Ashen Warlock. Was there anything more exaggerated and unimaginable than this!?
To be honest, even Lin Li himself couldn't figure out what the Ashen Warlock, whom he had never met, was trying to do, let alone understand what the others could not understand. However, Lin Li could vaguely guess that the benefits that he had obtained were definitely not for nothing. The Ashen Warlock definitely had a motive for doing all that.
Lin Li instructed the two Undead servants to wait outside, and then walked through the crowd towards the dilapidated gray tower under the envious gazes of the crowd. He was not worried that the Ashen Warlock would harm him. Although he had already caught a glimpse of the mysteries of the Sanctuary-realm's power, the Ashen Warlock would probably be able to destroy him without lifting a finger.
Lin Li's figure was hidden in the shadows of the gate of the tower, and the quiet atmosphere in the open space outside the tower was instantly broken by the buzz of discussion.
Why is the Tower of Dusk protected by the Ashen Warlock? Why was that young president invited into the Ash Tower? Who exactly was that young president? What is his relationship with the Ashen Warlock!? The crowd was not just discussing out of curiosity. Everyone knew that the fact that the Tower of Dusk had risen in the Breezy Plains could not be changed, and they had to consider how they should get along with the Tower of Dusk in the future.
Mogadi immediately looked for Hoffman, and tried to find out more about the Tower of Dusk by beating around the bush to find out about the relationship between Hoffman and the young president. Apart from Mogadi, there were more people around Hoffman, and almost all of them had the same thoughts as Mogadi. They wanted to use Hoffman to ease the relationship between them and the Tower of Dusk.
On the other side of the open space, the leaders of the Mithril Alliance were speechless, and their expressions were extremely sullen. Without a doubt, the Mithril Alliance had suffered a complete and embarrassing defeat this time. Not only did they not gain any benefits, they even created an opportunity for the Tower of Dusk to be valued by the Ashen Warlock.
Unlike other forces, the Mithril Alliance was the mastermind of the entire operation to suppress the Tower of Dusk, and had already completely stood on the opposite side of the Tower of Dusk. The relationship between them was almost impossible to reconcile. Hence, they had no choice but to carefully consider what kind of strategy they should adopt against the Tower of Dusk in the future.
At this moment, Lin Li, who had become the focus of everyone's discussion, was already standing in the hall of the Tower of Ashes. He did not hide his curiosity at all as he sized up the most mysterious place in the Breezy Plains. After taking a look, Lin Li couldn't help but be a little surprised, and at the same time, a little disappointed. The tower was dilapidated on the outside, and the interior was not very magnificent. There were almost no impractical decorations, and the materials used were also very ordinary. In fact, it was even more simple than the Emerald Tower in the countryside of Jarrosus.
The Ashen Warlock was known as the god of the Breezy Plains, and almost no one had ever set foot in the Tower of Ashes. Hence, it was naturally extremely mysterious to them. What would those people think if they knew that the Tower of Ashes was actually such a simple and unadorned place?
"How is it? Do you find it a little surprising that the place where the Ashen Warlock lives is so shabby?" The Ashen Warlock, who had entered the tower first, allowed Lin Li to scrutinize everything in the tower until Lin Li turned his gaze back to him. He then said jokingly.
"I'm sorry, Master Roland, this place is indeed a little beyond my expectations." Lin Li did not hide it at all, and directly admitted that he was surprised. He then asked, "Thank you for your help with what happened outside just now. Is there anything I can do for you since you invited me in?"
Lin Li didn't think that the Ashen Warlock had helped him just because he was pleasing to the eye. Although his strength was far from enough for a powerhouse like the Ashen Warlock, the gods were not omnipotent. Since the Ashen Warlock had helped him obtain such great benefits, he reckoned that there must be something he wanted him to do.
The Ashen Warlock nodded, and went straight to the point. "I reckon you should have already discovered that this body of mine is infinitely close to death."
Lin Li raised his brows slightly, and recalled the abnormality that he had sensed from the Ashen Warlock previously. He said, "Yes, with all due respect, if I'm not mistaken, your body seems to have been completely devoid of vitality. However, what I don't understand is that your situation is very different from that of Undead creatures."
"Yes, this body has been used for thousands of years. It's been too long, and it still can't withstand the wear and tear of time," the Ashen Warlock said in a calm tone, as if he wasn't talking about himself. The Ashen Warlock's tone was rather calm, as if he wasn't talking about himself. He then looked at Lin Li, and said, "I know you've already obtained Osric's Eternal Furnace."
"Yes." Lin Li wasn't surprised that the Ashen Warlock knew about the Eternal Furnace at all. After all, he was a Sanctuary powerhouse who had survived the Dark Age. At the thought that the Ashen Warlock had first mentioned the decaying body, and then the Eternal Furnace, Lin Li had already vaguely guessed what the Ashen Warlock was going to say.
"The purpose of Osric building the Eternal Furnace was to create a perfect body for himself so that he could achieve immortality. Since you've obtained the Eternal Furnace, you should have mastered the technique that Osric used to create a body, "the Ashen Warlock said.
Indeed! Lin Li was increasingly certain of his guess, but he didn't hide anything. He said, "Yes, I did learn some of the technique of using the Eternal Furnace to create a body from the notes that he left behind. Initially, he left behind a perfect body, but due to the circumstances at that time, and the fact that I once promised someone, I've already let that person occupy that body. "
"You might have guessed it, but I want to ask for your help. I hope that you can use the Eternal Furnace to create a new body for me," the Ashen Warlock said without beating around the bush. The Ashen Warlock did not beat around the bush, and frankly stated his request. However, he didn't seem to be interested in the perfect body that Lin Li mentioned.
Although it was the same as what he had guessed, Lin Li still looked a little troubled, and hesitantly said, "Erm … Although I've already learned Osric's technique to create a body, the materials …"
Lin Li was certain that the body that the Ashen Warlock needed would definitely not be an ordinary body that was crudely made. However, it would not be easy for him to gather the materials needed for a perfect body given his current wealth. Although the Tower of Dusk had now become a top force in the Breezy Plains, it was still far from being comparable to Highlord Osric back then, especially since some materials could not be bought with money.
For example, the heart of a Behemoth Beast was required. Not to mention the strength of a Behemoth Beast, it was a sacred beast of the orcs. Digging out the heart of a Behemoth Beast would be tantamount to going against the entire orc race. Besides, it was uncertain if there were any Behemoth Beasts among the orcs now.
For example, another important material was the eyeball of an Abyssal Demon Dragon. Osric could command the powerful Magic Legion all the way into the Endless Abyss to kill the dragon and obtain its eyeball. Lin Li's subordinates might be powerful in the Breezy Plains, but could they compare to the Magic Legion of the High Elves? He probably wouldn't even be able to see the Abyssal Demon Dragon after entering the Endless Abyss.
There were also the horns of unicorns, the medulla of Evil Eye Tyrants, the blood of ancient wyrms, and so on. None of them could be obtained easily. Although some materials were rare, they could at least be found in Anril. However, where could he find the meridians of the Titans that had been tempered by the destructive thunderbolts and the crystal cores of the four elemental kings?
