On the platform behind Lin Li, the people from the Tower of Dusk and the Glittergold Trade Union looked rather nervous as Lin Li moved. After all, this was Prince Brahere's mausoleum, and along the way, everyone had seen how perverted Brahere was. He had the Whispering God, the Humerus Wyrm Legion, and even captured an ancient Iceblast Wyrm to guard his mausoleum. No one knew what kind of perverted tricks he would come up with at this last stage.
Lin Li stepping into the Sanctuary-realm would be of great benefit to the Tower of Dusk and the Glittergold Trade Union. No one wanted anything to happen to Lin Li now. Even if his life wasn't in danger, what if his realm fell again? Brahere could even capture the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and turn it into an Undead creature. Lin Li had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm.
On the other hand, Joseph and Claus were feeling a little conflicted at this moment. Was it better to suck up to a Sanctuary powerhouse, or to maintain the original order of the Breezy Plains and continue to be a local tyrant? However, no matter what, no one dared to show any abnormalities on their faces. Just like the people from the Tower of Dusk, they were all very nervous.
Lin Li didn't stay in the same place for long. Instead, he strode forward again, and walked towards the altar step by step. With every step he took, the figure in the middle of the altar became clearer and clearer. Gradually, the facial features of the figure could be seen. Although Lin Li had never seen Prince Brahere before, nor had he seen his portrait, he could vaguely guess his identity from the aura of the figure.
When Lin Li walked up all the steps and set foot on the circular platform, the steps behind him suddenly disappeared. Lin Li didn't panic because of this change, and instead frowned slightly as he looked at the figure in the middle of the altar that had become much more solid. At this moment, he could already feel that the figure was not an illusory figure, but a real soul that was gradually awakening.
The light of the magic crystal pillars around the platform gradually dimmed until it revealed its black essence. The soul in the middle of the altar finally opened its eyes slowly.
Lin Li remained calm on the surface, but he was secretly prepared for any changes. He would either launch an all-out attack or instantly activate his Space Robe to leave. The other party was Prince Brahere, the lunatic who had nurtured the Whispering God and imprisoned Sindera. Even though he was just a soul, Lin Li did not dare to underestimate him.
However, after the soul opened his eyes, he looked at Lin Li who was standing on the edge of the platform with a smile on his face. In his smile, there was some joy and some relief, but there was no hostility. It was as if he was not looking at an enemy that had invaded his mausoleum, but a friend that he had not seen for a long time, or perhaps even closer than a friend.
However, Lin Li did not say anything, nor did he let his guard down because of the mysterious smile. He maintained a safe distance and did not take another step forward. He just looked at the other party quietly, waiting for Prince Brahere to either talk or fight.
Finally, there was a slight fluctuation in Brahere's soul. In a very gentle tone, he said, "Father, you're finally here. I've waited for you for many years. Your weapon is at the place where the World Tree collapsed. With the relic you gave to Mother, you can step onto your throne again …"
Lin Li could clearly feel the warmth and anticipation from the words that were transmitted through the fluctuations of the soul. However, these were not the most important. What was important was what Brahere had said.
What a joke! Who's your father? I'm only in my twenties! Brahere's words made Lin Li feel as if he had been struck by lightning. His ears seemed to be filled with the sound of rolling thunder. This was an outcome that he had never thought of. Even if there was no need for a battle, there was no need for such a random identification!
However, when Lin Li wanted to ask Brahere to explain, he only saw Brahere's soul turning from solid to thin at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before Lin Li could speak, Brahere's soul had completely disappeared from the altar, leaving only a scepter in the middle of the altar.
Scepter? The scepter of the High Elven Queen? Lin Li looked at the scepter in the middle of the altar from afar, but he did not rush over to take it immediately. Although that scepter should be the gift that the Immortal King had given to the High Elven Queen, Lin Li did not dare to be rash at all.
Lin Li carefully observed the surroundings of the altar, and his gaze landed on the scepter in the middle of the altar. From afar, the appearance of the scepter seemed to be similar to the legendary Moonlight Scepter that had been passed down by the High Elven Queen for generations. It was said that anyone who had the Moonlight Scepter could command the entire High Elves. It could be said to be the symbol of the supreme royal power of the High Elves.
Moreover, the Moonlight Scepter did not just symbolize royal power. It also contained immense power, and had left behind many legends in the history of Anril. Its reputation was not inferior to Geresco's Book of Eternity. Although Lin Li had not been in Anril for long, he could be considered to have heard of the legend of the Moonlight Scepter. However, if it was really the Moonlight Scepter, how did it end up in Brahere's hands? His sister was the successor of the High Elven Queen.
Lin Li's mind was filled with questions. After waiting for a while, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about the altar, he carefully stepped onto it and walked towards the Moonlight Scepter in the middle of the altar.
However, the closer he got to the Moonlight Scepter, the deeper Lin Li's frown became. His footsteps also gradually sped up. In the end, he even rushed forward and grabbed the Moonlight Scepter in his hands. He looked rather impatient.
When he was far away, he could only see the appearance of the scepter. Although Lin Li felt that it was somewhat familiar, he thought that it was in line with the legends in his memory. However, when he got closer and saw the details of the Moonlight Scepter clearly, Lin Li could no longer maintain his calm. He finally knew that his sense of familiarity with the Moonlight Scepter was not because of the legends, but because he had seen, held, and owned it before.
Back in the game Endless World, Lin Li's main Hunter was one of the top powerhouses in the entire game. He had completed many Legendary-level and even Epic-level missions. Lin Li still remembered that it was when he challenged the Well of the Sun. Although he succeeded in the challenge, it caused the Well of the Sun to collapse. The moment before the Well of the Sun collapsed, he was holding the scepter in front of him.
However, the use of this scepter was limited, and only the High Elves were allowed to use it. Hence, Lin Li did not hand it over to the mage smurf, and instead kept it with the Main Hunter as a souvenir for successfully challenging the Well of the Sun.
Hence, Lin Li could not help but feel puzzled. Although he had transmigrated to Anril, he had transmigrated with the body of a mage smurf. Be it his magical talent or his equipment, they all belonged to the mage smurf. Since this scepter was with the Main Hunter, how did it come to Anril?
Moreover, according to Sindera and Brahere, this scepter had fallen into the hands of the Immortal King, and was given by the Immortal King to Brahere's mother as a gift. This was too strange. How many years had it been since Lin Li transmigrated to Anril? How many years had this Moonlight Scepter existed in Anril? There were even so many legends about it.
What was more exaggerated was what Brahere had called him just now. Had he become stupid after sleeping for more than 1,000 years!? How could he call him father? His mother was the first queen of the High Elves. How could he push her down with his small arms and legs? Lin Li was puzzled no matter how he thought about it. This did not match at all.
However, when he thought that the scepter was a gift from the Immortal King, Lin Li suddenly had a guess. Could the father that Prince Brahere was referring to be the Immortal King?
Did Brahere think that he was the Immortal King? This was not impossible. Lin Li still remembered that when he was in the Alanna Guild of Magic, the incarnation of one of the three Undead Lords in the Aurora Square seemed to have called him the Immortal King when he saw him. Also, the statue of the Immortal King in the Scar of Death seemed to look almost exactly like him.
The Stars of Fury, the debris of the stars, was originally a magical weapon in the Endless World. They were all in the hands of his Lord Hunter. Why did they appear in Anril? This could not be explained by coincidence. Now, the Moonlight Scepter that had always been in his Lord Hunter's backpack had actually appeared in Anril a long time ago, and was even given to the High Elven Queen by the Immortal King. This could not be explained by coincidence.
Lin Li held the Moonlight Scepter tightly in his hand and looked at every familiar mark on it. Although he could not clear up all his doubts at the moment, he was sure that there had to be some kind of connection between himself, the Immortal King, and his Lord Hunter.
Lin Li raised his head and scanned the surroundings. Only then did he realize that Brahere's coffin was actually under the altar. However, since he had already obtained the Moonlight Scepter, and Brahere had said that he could obtain the Immortal King's weapon with it, there was no need to disturb him anymore.
Lin Li temporarily put away all the doubts in his heart, and placed the Moonlight Scepter into the Ring of Endless Storm. He directly activated the power of the Space Robe, and his figure suddenly flashed to the center of the Tower of Dusk's team.
Seeing that Lin Li had returned safely, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. When they saw Brahere's soul, they were so nervous that they wanted to rush over.
"Master Felic, you've finally returned safely. Do you want to give us instructions on what to do next?" Claus and Joseph rushed to Lin Li, and respectfully asked for instructions on what to do next.
Lin Li did not expect that it would be so smooth from the moment he entered until now. He had only used half a day to achieve his goal. Now that he had the Moonlight Scepter, and knew how to get the Immortal King's weapon, the others were basically empty-handed. What was the purpose of exploring the ruins? It was not for archaeology or knowledge, but for the potential benefits. It would be unfair to the others if they left just like that.
Hence, Lin Li thought for a moment, and said, "Although it was smooth to get here, there is not much time left. When you return, search on your own. You guys can discuss how to distribute the loot. No matter how much you find, you only have one day. After one day, leave the mausoleum immediately. "
Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Joseph and Claus were overjoyed. Even if the Tower of Dusk wanted to monopolize the loot, they would not dare to have any objections with a Sanctuary powerhouse around. However, the meaning of Lin Li's words was very obvious. Not only would the Tower of Dusk not monopolize the loot, they would not participate in the subsequent search. No matter what they found, it would be divided among the Caesar Family, the Mithril Alliance, and the Glittergold Trade Union.
Of course, Joseph and Claus did not dare to do that. Compared to the treasures buried in the mausoleum, it seemed that getting closer to a Sanctuary powerhouse was a greater fortune.
No matter what, after getting Lin Li's permission, the expedition returned much slower than when they came. They carefully searched every corner of the mausoleum. As for the Tower of Dusk, it was indeed as Lin Li had said. No one from the Tower of Dusk participated in the search. However, whenever Joseph and Claus found something, they would immediately run to Lin Li to ask if the Tower of Dusk needed anything.
However, after asking so many times, the two of them could tell that Lin Li was not interested in those things. Hence, it was impossible to get closer to the Tower of Dusk. Hence, the two of them set their eyes on Hoffman. The relationship between the Glittergold Trade Union and the Tower of Dusk was not something that the two of them could compare to. Since they could not curry favor with Lin Li directly, they might be able to get some progress from the Glittergold Trade Union.
Of course, Joseph and Claus wouldn't suck up to Hoffman so blatantly. They would just pretend to be generous and give up some of the benefits when distributing the items that they had found. They also believed that with Hoffman's shrewdness, he would definitely understand their intentions.
Of course, Hoffman was well aware of it. Besides, he had also received a hint from Lin Li. Hence, he naturally accepted the benefits that the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family offered without hesitation.
"Master Felic, take a look at this. It should be useful, right?" Hoffman suddenly walked towards Lin Li with a potion bottle in his hand. Given his relationship with Lin Li, he naturally did not have to suck up to Lin Li like Joseph and the others. Since he had brought it over, he definitely felt that Lin Li was really useful.
Lin Li knew that too, so he took the potion bottle. The potion bottle was carved with the Crystal of Eternity, but its value would not make Hoffman value it that much. When Lin Li opened the cork, he could not help but frown. The potion bottle emitted a familiar aura. It turned out to be the aura of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. It turned out that the potion bottle contained the blood essence of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera.
