After returning to the Tower of Dusk, the Archmages began to focus on breaking through to the Legendary-realm. It probably wouldn't be long before there would be a large number of Legendary-mages in the Tower of Dusk. By then, the Tower of Dusk would probably become a real Magic Sanctuary in the Breezy Plains.
Finally, the day of the Tower of Dusk's meeting had arrived, and the fate of countless forces in the Breezy Plains would be decided. After confirming the authenticity of Lin Li stepping into the Sanctuary-realm, as well as the thought-provoking relationship that he had with the Ashen Warlock, no one dared to question the authority of the notice.
On this day, the leaders of all the large and medium-sized forces in the Breezy Plains, including the patriarchs and presidents of the four top forces, the Mithril Alliance, the Caesar Family, the Blood Moon Clan, and the Glittergold Trade Union, all gathered at the Tower of Dusk. As for the small forces, it actually had nothing to do with them no matter what happened in the Breezy Plains. At most, they would just have to hand over some benefits to a different target.
Although the Tower of Dusk had only been established for a short period of time, there were more and more people joining the Tower of Dusk with its rapid development. Besides, there were also talents from other fields, such as the technicians in the Forging Workshops. It was impossible to arrange for all of them to stay in the Tower of Dusk. Hence, the Tower of Dusk was no longer a tower that stood alone in Doland. The scale of the buildings surrounding the Tower of Dusk was already like that of a city. There were places for mages to stay and study, Forging Workshops that continuously imported magical weapons, and trading places for various products.
However, it was still impossible to find a meeting place that could accommodate so many people at the moment. After all, the Tower of Dusk couldn't hold large-scale meetings often, and everything could be decided by a few dozen senior executives. There was no need to specially build a meeting place. Hence, this time, apart from the top forces, the leaders of all the other forces were arranged to an open-air square to wait for the meeting to begin.
However, no one dared to express the slightest dissatisfaction with the arrangement of the Tower of Dusk. At this moment, their mood was actually similar to that of a criminal waiting to be sentenced. They were all thinking about their future, and no one would care about such trivial matters.
The leaders of several top forces, as well as Master William of the Time Consignment Store and Master Cheyenne of the Malfa Family, who had long cooperated with the Tower of Dusk, were invited to the Tower of Dusk first. Among them, Hoffman and the others who had cooperated with the Tower of Dusk for a long time naturally remained calm.
Joseph and Claus, on the other hand, looked rather uneasy. Although Lin Li did not do anything to the two forces when he left the grand canyon of Gargas, that did not mean that the past problems could really be written off. At the very least, it was impossible for them to not care about it.
In fact, regarding this question, the leaders of the various forces in the square outside were also speculating. Back then, the Mithril Alliance took the lead, and many forces joined forces to suppress the Tower of Dusk. That was a well-known fact in the Breezy Plains. At this moment, when they saw Joseph and Claus being brought into the Tower of Dusk with bitter expressions, some of them were terrified, while others were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
However, when Lin Li brought Joseph and the rest out of the Tower of Dusk, Joseph and Claus were obviously relieved even though they did not seem to be overjoyed. That was somewhat beyond the expectations of the people outside.
The entire square was silent, and everyone was quietly waiting for Lin Li to speak, waiting for the verdict that might change their fate.
In fact, the Tower of Dusk's unification of the Breezy Plains seemed to them to be a matter of course. They were already so powerful to begin with, and their President had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. He even had a close relationship with the Ashen Warlock. If they were in Lin Li's shoes, they would definitely do the same. However, those who had yet to step into the Sanctuary-realm were on a completely different level from Sanctuary powerhouses. Hence, how could they guess the thoughts of Sanctuary powerhouses?
Actually, Lin Li did not have much to say. He only needed a few words to clarify the purpose of the meeting, which was to make all the forces submit to the Tower of Dusk. In fact, it was a step further to establish the authority of the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains.
There was an essential difference between submission and unification. At least, the Tower of Dusk would not bother to touch the interests of the various forces. Commercial operations were another matter.
Actually, the Tower of Dusk did not care much about territory now. As Lin Li stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, the Tower of Dusk would definitely become the Holy Land of Magic in the Breezy Plains. The Tower of Dusk would no longer attract mages due to geographical limitations. Hence, Lin Li had no intention of expanding his territory.
Hearing Lin Li say that personally, the people below felt like they were dreaming. They originally thought that they might lose everything, and bid farewell to the glory of dominating a region. However, in the end, they discovered that things did not become as bad as they had imagined. There was nothing unacceptable about submitting to the Tower of Dusk. After all, the other party was a Sanctuary powerhouse, and it would not be considered embarrassing. Apart from that, everything was no different from before. Of course, the most important thing was not to provoke the people of the Tower of Dusk, even if they were just a mage apprentice.
When the reality was not as bad as imagined, the speed at which people accepted the reality was much faster than before the terrible imagination. To them, Lin Li's proposal of submitting to the Tower of Dusk was like a gift to them compared to losing everything they had imagined.
Of course, submitting to the Tower of Dusk was not a simple thing to say, and they still had to abide by some specific rules and regulations. However, those would be discussed after the meeting. Seeing that no one had any objections, Lin Li announced the end of the meeting. Those who were willing could go ahead and sign the contract, and those who were unwilling …
However, at this moment, a loud voice filled with resentment suddenly came from the crowd.
"What if I'm unwilling!?"
It would have been difficult to find out who said that, but as long as there was nothing wrong with their brains, no one would be willing to go against a Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, as soon as the words came out, the crowd immediately made way for the person who had spoken.
However, although the person had been ignored by the crowd, he did not panic at all. Instead, there was a hint of madness on his face. As if he was looking at his mortal enemy, he gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Li who was standing on the stage. He said with hatred, "Congratulations, Master Felic, on stepping into the Sanctuary-realm and unifying the Breezy Plains. I specially brought a gift today, I hope you like it, Master Felic!"
Following that person's words, there was another burst of strange noises from the crowd around the plaza, followed by cries of surprise. A few people who were originally dressed in black magic robes like the others suddenly tore off their magic robes, revealing their bodies made of metal. They turned out to be alchemy puppets in disguise.
The alchemy puppets actually did not seem to have a very exquisite body structure, but the truly terrifying thing was that there was a Legendary magical crystal embedded in their chests. Besides, those Legendary magical crystals had already begun to emit a strange red light under the continuous stimulation of some Alchemy Array, and a terrifying mana wave that was boiling to the extreme shrouded everyone.
That was the reason for the panic, because those who were slightly knowledgeable would know that it was a sign that the magical crystals were about to explode. The power that erupted from a Legendary magical crystal was far from what ordinary Legendary magic spells could compare to. The power of the Magical Crystal Cannons was equivalent to that of a Legendary magic spell, but a Legendary magical crystal could support hundreds of continuous shots of the Magical Crystal Cannons. It was obvious how massive the power contained in a Legendary magical crystal was.
It could be said that if a level-20 Legendary magical crystal were to fully release its power, its power would probably not be inferior to a level-24 Legendary magic spell. However, it was not an easy task to make a Legendary magical crystal explode. Besides, Legendary magical crystals were priceless, and had more important uses. Generally, no one would be willing to use Legendary magical crystals to make magic bombs that could only be used once.
However, it was unknown how much hatred that person had for the Tower of Dusk. There were six similar alchemy puppets in the entire square, and the power of the six Legendary magical crystals was probably enough to wipe out the entire place. As for the leaders of the various forces, they would definitely not be able to escape even if there were Legendary powerhouses among them.
"It's Albert, he's really here!" Cheyenne of the Malfa Family immediately recognized him.
Albert was the leader of the Dark Blade's Assassins, and also the son of the leader Lansdale. When the Dark Blade attacked the Tower of Dusk, the two Legendary leaders, Borg and Baldela, were crippled. Coupled with the loss of the elites, the Dark Blade directly became a second-rate force. On the other hand, the Malfa Family also took over the task of encircling the remnants of the Dark Blade and taking over the territory of the Dark Blade.
Now, the Dark Blade, which used to be the top bandit group, could be said to have been completely removed from the Breezy Plains. However, in the process of the Malfa Family chasing after the remnants, Albert, the leader of the Dark Blade's Assassins, and a few elite Assassins above level-15 escaped. The truth proved that it was definitely a fatal mistake. Those elite Assassins caused great trouble in the process of the Malfa Family taking over the Dark Blade's territory.
Fortunately, the Malfa Family had the Legendary-mage Cheyenne. After a series of arrangements, they set up many traps, and even made Hutton, the heir of the family, act as bait to kill the elite Assassins one by one. However, following the death of the few elite assassins, Albert was nowhere to be found.
A level-19 assassin would pose a great threat even to a Legendary powerhouse. Although it was a little embarrassing, the Malfa Family still passed the news to the Tower of Dusk in time. After all, the Tower of Dusk was the culprit that caused the destruction of the Dark Blade.
The reason why Lin Li informed the various forces of the meeting time a month in advance was to let them be prepared. After all, some of the forces were very far away from the Tower of Dusk, and to give the hidden enemies a chance to appear.
To a Sanctuary Master, even a Legendary Assassin would not be a threat, let alone a level-19 Assassin. This time, if the Tower of Dusk could successfully integrate all the forces of the Breezy Plains, there would be no place for them in the Breezy Plains in the future. Hence, at this time, the other party only had two choices. He could either take revenge at all costs, or give up completely and find a place to hide for the rest of his life.
It was not surprising to Lin Li that the other party chose to attack the leaders of the forces in order to damage the reputation of the Tower of Dusk. However, what Lin Li did not expect was that the other party had put in a lot of effort this time. Clearly, he was prepared to take a bite out of the Tower of Dusk even if he had to die. The six alchemy puppets should have been purchased from the Rotterdam, the Alchemy Kingdom. Although they seemed rather crude in Lin Li's eyes, they should still be worth a lot. Besides, the six Legendary magical crystals were a great fortune for ordinary people.
Unfortunately, Abbott had clearly underestimated the strength of the Tower of Dusk and the power of a Sanctuary powerhouse. If it had been before Lin Li stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, the six self-destructing alchemy puppets might have been able to make him flustered for a while. However, Lin Li could now send the six self-destructing alchemy puppets into the chaos of time and space as long as he used the power of the debris of the stars, Nothingness. No matter how powerful they were, it would be useless.
"I know that this can't hurt you, but you can't stop these cowards from dying. You can't protect anyone, haha!" Abbott's resentment towards Lin Li had already reached an extreme. Although he knew that he could not really cause substantial damage to Lin Li, it would definitely be a great blow to Lin Li's prestige if he could kill the leaders of the various forces and destroy the entire building of the Tower of Dusk.
At this moment, the leaders of the various forces were almost going crazy, and the entire square was in chaos. Everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible.
If this went on, the meeting might really become a farce. Of course, Lin Li would not allow that to happen. He reached out and took out the debris of the stars, Nothingness, and got ready to send the six self-destructing alchemy puppets into the chaos of time and space.
However, at this moment, the space in midair suddenly distorted like ripples on the surface of water. Next, an old mage with white hair and a beard dressed in a black magic robe stepped out of the distorted space.
Seeing the chaos in the square, the old mage frowned slightly, and waved his hand casually while walking slowly towards Lin Li.
