With just a wave of his hand, the situation in the square changed drastically. The Legendary magical crystals that had already reached their peak seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and the magical waves suddenly disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the body of the self-destructing alchemy puppet also turned into the finest particles like a sand sculpture that had lost its adhesion. It collapsed and scattered on the ground.
The sudden change left everyone dumbfounded. Even Abbott, who was laughing maniacally while waiting for his death, seemed to have been strangled.
Magical crystals were one of the most stable aggregations of mana. Otherwise, there wouldn't be magical beasts in this world. Legendary magical crystals contained a wisp of nomological power, and were difficult to trigger and explode. However, once they were successfully triggered, the process would be irreversible unless one had incredible power. That was the reason Abbott chose this method of revenge. It could be said to be the most foolproof way of revenge that he could think of.
However, the old mage merely waved his hand, and the six Legendary magical crystals that had begun to release massive mana and were about to bring about a destructive disaster to everyone ended silently.
Abbott wasn't the only one who couldn't believe it. Even the leaders of the various forces who were in a state of panic and despair just now were shocked and in disbelief. They even forgot the joy of surviving a disaster. They believed that if the Legendary magical crystals exploded, they would definitely not cause any harm to Lin Li, who had already become a Sanctuary powerhouse. In fact, the people standing beside Lin Li would be protected too. However, resisting the power of the Legendary magical crystals and destroying the power of the Legendary magical crystals were two completely different concepts. The old mage casually wiped out the power of the Legendary magical crystals with a wave of his hand. It was probably not an exaggeration to say that it was a miracle.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the old mage who had traveled through the void. However, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright. That was because the appearance of the old magician actually reminded them of a famous figure in the myths. Then, when they thought about the miraculous power that the old magician had displayed just now, they erased the last trace of uncertainty in their hearts.
Seeing that the old mage had resolved the crisis with a wave of his hand, Lin Li was equally shocked. As a Sanctuary powerhouse, he could naturally feel the Sanctuary-realm aura emanating from the old mage. However, it was obvious that he, a Saint realm expert, was still a far cry from the other party's strength. This was yet another peak Saint realm expert.
Even though Lin Li had only been in this world for a few years, he was able to guess the identity of the old mage when he saw his neatly combed silver hair, his piercing eyes, his neatly trimmed silver beard, and the natural elegance he exuded as he walked in the air. Although Lin Li had only been in this world for a few years, he was able to guess the identity of the old mage very quickly. He was dressed in the robe of an arbitrator of the Supreme Council, and unlike Megard who was solemn and old-fashioned, and Apophis who was not bothered by trifles, this elegant and natural old mage who exuded an aristocratic aura was one of the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council, Arbitrator Chris, who was once a prince.
It was said that during the Dark Age, Highlord Osric's fief included the entire Felan Kingdom and most of the Breezy Plains. In the Jarrosus region of the Felan Kingdom, there used to be a small human kingdom called the Garland Kingdom, and Arbitrator Chris was the prince of the Garland Kingdom.
Highlord Osric was different from Prince Brahere. He had always used extremely cruel and ruthless means to rule over the various races in his territory, and he mercilessly exploited their last bit of value. In Osric's own words, instead of giving them the strength to stand up and resist, it would be better to make them lose the strength to stand up at all.
Under Osric's cruel rule, the Garland Kingdom, which was a small human kingdom with an ancient heritage, could not provide much value to Osric in the first place. From the royal family to the civilians, they were even more miserably exploited. When Osric began to build the Eternal Furnace, he even used the entire Garland Kingdom as bait to trap a powerful ancient wyrm.
In the process of capturing the ancient wyrm, the entire Garland Kingdom became their battlefield. Be it the ancient wyrm or Osric's Magic Legion, no one paid attention to the lives of the humans below. In the intense battle, powerful magic continuously fell on the ground of the Garland Kingdom like a terrifying natural disaster, almost turning the entire ground of the Garland Kingdom upside down.
In that disaster, the population of the Garland Kingdom was reduced to less than 10%, and the royal family of the Garland Kingdom was annihilated. The original location of the palace was only left with a huge pit created by the breath of the ancient wyrm. At that time, Chris, who was the prince of Garland, was discussing the matter of food aid with the neighboring countries for the sake of the famine that had occurred in the kingdom previously.
Chris, who had rushed back to the capital of the Garland Kingdom, met Geresco, who had been attracted by the fierce battle, in front of the huge pit that the palace had turned into. After seeing the magical power of magic, Chris, who swore to avenge his parents and his people, embarked on the path of becoming a mage under Geresco's introduction.
Unfortunately, when Chris stepped into the Sanctuary-realm and followed the God of Mages Geresco to launch a rebellion against the rule of the High Elves, Highlord Osric had already been sleeping in his mausoleum.
After the end of the Dark Age, Geresco established the Supreme Council, and Chris, Megard, and Apophis became the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council. At the same time, they persisted in establishing the Jarrosus Guild of Magic in the barren Jarrosus area, and became the first President of the Guild of Magic.
Although he had guessed the identity of the other party, Lin Li's surprise did not diminish at all. Rumor had it that Arbitrator Chris had not appeared in the Supreme Council for more than 10 years, and had even missed several meetings of the Supreme Council. Hence, there were rumors that he had died, or that he had left Anril following in Geresco's footsteps.
That was also the reason that the conflict between Andoine and Rosen was mistakenly thought by many to be because they were fighting for the vacant position of arbitrator. After all, in the Supreme Council, Andoine and Rosen were the only ones who were considered to be the most qualified to compete for that position.
Now that Arbitrator Chris had appeared, all the rumors were naturally discredited. Besides, Lin Li could also feel that the Sanctuary-realm aura of this arbitrator seemed to be stronger than that of Apophis and Megard. Of course, it might also be because Lin Li had yet to step into the Sanctuary-realm when he first met the two arbitrators, and thus didn't know much about the power of the Sanctuary-realm. However, no matter what, Lin Li was certain that the other party was definitely much stronger than him.
The arrival of Arbitrator Chris meant that the crisis in the square had been resolved, and the issues that had to be discussed at the meeting had already been settled. Hence, under Lin Li's signal, the meeting came to an end, and the people of the Tower of Dusk brought the leaders of the various forces who were still in shock to sign the contract of submission. As for Ebert, after what he had just done, how could he have a good ending after falling into the crowd?
On the other hand, Lin Li led the senior executives of the Tower of Dusk and the leaders of several top forces to face the sky and wait for the arrival of Arbitrator Chris.
Chris slowly walked down from midair, and after landing on the ground, he walked towards Lin Li with a warm smile on his face. He first sized Lin Li up before nodding slightly, and saying in a rather approving tone, "Felic, you're indeed not bad."
"Honorable Arbitrator, I didn't know that you would come to the Tower of Dusk, so I didn't arrange a welcome party in advance. I hope you can forgive me," Lin Li said while bowing to Chris respectfully with the people behind him.
Although the people present were the leaders of the top forces of the Breezy Plains, and had no affiliation with the Supreme Council, no one dared to show the slightest disrespect to the arbitrator of the Supreme Council. When facing this mythical figure, everyone couldn't help but feel excited, and they even felt that it was a supreme honor to have the opportunity to bow to him in person.
Chris waved his hand and gestured for them not to be overly polite. He then said to Lin Li with some mockery, "I heard from Apophis that you weren't that well-behaved in the past. Why have you learned to be well-behaved after being the President for a few years?"
When Lin Li took over as the President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, Arbitrator Apophis had once visited him personally, and even gave Lin Li plenty of pointers on magic. At that time, Lin Li was tormented quite badly, but he also managed to burn Apophis' beard. It was the beard of an arbitrator, so it wasn't a loss.
Hearing Chris mention Apophis, Lin Li touched his nose in embarrassment, and said with an awkward smile, "Well, it's been so long. Lord Apophis' beard should have grown back by now."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Chris widened his eyes, and said with some surprise, "His beard? What's wrong with his messy beard? He didn't mention it to me when I came. "
"Ha, haha, Master Chris, I've really been too rude. How can I stand here and talk? Please come in." As soon as Lin Li heard this, he cursed in his heart, and almost blurted out Apophis' embarrassing past. Hence, he hurriedly changed the topic, and invited Chris to the Tower of Dusk to talk.
The simple and relaxed conversation between the two of them made the people around them feel extremely emotional. The arbitrator of the Supreme Council was a figure who truly stood at the peak of strength and power in Anril. If they were to talk to such a figure, they would probably be too nervous to even utter a complete sentence. Even though they were watching from the side, they actually felt like they were in a dream.
Lin Li and Chris walked in front, and walked towards the Tower of Dusk while the others followed behind cautiously. In fact, they couldn't help but slow down their breathing. Although it was an honor for them to be able to meet the arbitrator of the Supreme Council, the process of enjoying it was not easy.
"I left Anril for a period of time because of some matters. I didn't expect to receive such good news when I returned. You came from the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, and you've made a great contribution to the Jarrosus Guild of Magic. " During the conversation along the way, Chris did not hide his admiration for Lin Li at all, and he looked at Lin Li as if he was a junior of his.
Of course, in fact, Lin Li and Chris were indeed considered family. His teacher Lin Li was from the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, and later on, he participated in the Mage Trial as a member of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, and obtained the right to establish a Guild of Magic in the Breezy Plains. Chris, on the other hand, was the founder of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic and the first President of the Guild of Magic. Wasn't that considered family?
However, the people following behind couldn't help but be a little speechless after hearing that. With the strength of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and now that he had the support of an arbitrator, it seemed that the Breezy Plains would really belong to the Tower of Dusk in the future. Not to mention ordinary forces, even the Ashen Warlock probably wouldn't be able to shake the position of the Tower of Dusk. Besides, the Ashen Warlock seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Lin Li.
"You flatter me, I'm just doing my best. Besides, the support of the Supreme Council is also inseparable," Lin Li replied humbly. Of course, that was also the truth. Although the support given by the Supreme Council was somewhat discounted when the Tower of Dusk was established, they still gave it a status, and did send some people to help with the construction.
"Hmph, you don't have to put in a good word for them. They can't hide their tricks from anyone. Now that the Tower of Dusk has already reached such a scale, let's not hold it against them for now. If anyone dares to target you again in the future, just tell me. Even if that ancient wyrm wants to harm the Tower of Dusk, I can also bury it back in the Extreme North, "Chris said casually, but the meaning behind his words was too obvious. Chris said casually, but the meaning behind his words was too obvious. He was clearly showing his support for the Tower of Dusk.
The ancient wyrm that Chris was referring to was obviously the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. Although Sindera was also at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li knew that Chris was definitely not bragging. If it had been before Lin Li stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he might not have been able to judge who was stronger between Chris and Sindera, who were at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. However, after seeing Chris' attack just now, he could tell that he had truly reached the level of a demigod.
The power of the six Legendary magical crystals was indeed nothing to a Sanctuary powerhouse, but Sindera might not be able to reverse the World Laws and eliminate the massive power in an instant like Chris did. It was naturally a good thing to have such a backer, even though Lin Li might not have a chance to ask for Chris' help with his current strength.
