Although Chris's voice was not loud, it sounded like a thunderclap in the ears of the people behind him. In an instant, they couldn't hear anything else, and they didn't even know what Lin Li had said.
Back in the grand canyon of Gargas, the Iceblast Wyrm had given Lin Li a horn flute, and said that it could fight for Lin Li once. Later on, Lin Li and the Ashen Warlock had reached an unknown tacit understanding. Even if the Ashen Warlock did not clearly stand on the Tower of Dusk's side, he would definitely be biased.
Now, the arbitrator of the Supreme Council, Chris, who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, had actually expressed his intention to support the Tower of Dusk. In this case, no one or force in the entire Anril would dare to covet the Tower of Dusk, let alone the Breezy Plains!
How could they not be envious?
People like Hoffman and Cheyenne, who had long cooperated with the Tower of Dusk, were definitely envious that the Tower of Dusk had a powerful backer like Chris. However, they were also more confident about their future cooperation. Back then, the various forces of the Breezy Plains had joined forces to suppress the Tower of Dusk. Now, they wanted to see who had the courage to do so. Given his relationship with the Tower of Dusk, as long as the Tower of Dusk remained standing, there would definitely be plenty of benefits from the cooperation.
On the other hand, Joseph, Claus, and the others who had once targeted the Tower of Dusk were still on tenterhooks at this moment, even though they had already been forgiven by Lin Li. They were afraid that Lin Li would casually tell Chris about what had happened in the past. Judging from the attitude of the two of them when they were talking, even a fool would know how much the arbitrator valued the young president of the Tower of Dusk. If Arbitrator Chris were to get infuriated after hearing about what had happened in the past, he would probably destroy the so-called top force with a slight move of his finger.
Everyone arrived at the Golden Tower, and sat down in a room. Lin Li introduced the leaders of the various forces to Chris, but Chris did not seem to be very interested. Although Chris's words and actions were full of elegance when he spoke to them, making them feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze, they weren't people who didn't know how to read people. After a few simple words, they tactfully took their leave.
After everyone left, Lin Li finally asked Chris about the purpose of their visit. He was actually a little confused. Chris's appearance was indeed a little sudden, and it did not seem to be just to take a look at a newly advanced Sanctuary Master from Jarrosus.
"The achievements you've made in the Breezy Plains in the past few years are obvious to all. The development of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic to its current scale is also a great contribution to the Supreme Council. Besides, you've also stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. Hence, after the review and discussion of the Supreme Council, we've decided to let you join the Supreme Council and become a councilor of the Supreme Council, "Chris said simply and clearly.
"A member of the Supreme Council? Isn't it too early for someone of my age? "Lin Li was indeed surprised by the news. Although the Tower of Dusk now had an unshakable status in the Breezy Plains, and he had also stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he was still young, after all. Simply put, it was a matter of seniority. This could only be accumulated over time.
The Supreme Council was not a force in the general sense, but an organization that was above all forces and even royalty. It was truly at the pinnacle of power in this world, and only the Brilliance Shrine could compete with it. It could be said that to a certain extent, the decisions made by the Supreme Council might even affect the fate of the entire Anril.
In the Supreme Council, the three arbitrators were the ones who held the highest authority in the council, and had the power to affirm and deny all decisions. However, they did not directly participate in the management of the Supreme Council. Only major issues that truly concerned Anril would be submitted to them for them to make the final decision.
The real management of the Supreme Council was made by more than 100 councilors, who were all high-end mages of Anril, and basically had Legendary-level strength. Basically, most of the decisions of the Supreme Council were made by the hundreds of councilors after discussion.
The so-called 10 controllers of the Supreme Council were actually 10 high-level councilors, including the chairman and deputy chairman, who had greater authority than ordinary councilors. The one who was now the chairman of the council was Lin Li's teacher, Master Andoine. The deputy chairman was Master Rosen, who had once gotten along with Lin Li during the exploration of Osric's mausoleum.
The real source of the conflict between Andoine and Rosen might be here, and not because of the fight for the position of an arbitrator. After all, even if there was really one less arbitrator, the two of them would not be qualified to take that position no matter how hard they fought.
Hearing Lin Li's words, Chris waved his hands, and disapprovingly said, "I know what you're worried about. Actually, I'm too embarrassed to take up the position of a councilor of the Supreme Council. Based on your achievements, I think you definitely have the qualifications to be promoted to a Controller. However, your age is indeed a problem, so I reluctantly agreed to let you be a councilor for the time being. "
"Look at what you're saying. It's already an honor for me to be able to become a councilor of the Supreme Council," Lin Li hurriedly said politely.
Lin Li did not care much about the rights of a councilor of the Supreme Council, but having such an identity meant that he would have the backing of the Supreme Council. Although it was impossible for the Supreme Council to really go to war over the matter of a councilor, his identity was still rather intimidating in Anril.
The Tower of Dusk indeed had an unshakable status in the Breezy Plains, but what about outside the Breezy Plains? Anril was extremely vast, and in addition to the several kingdoms established by humans, there were also kingdoms established by intelligent races such as dwarves, giants, and orcs.
The name of the Tower of Dusk was indeed useful in the Breezy Plains, but it might not be useful outside the Breezy Plains. However, the Supreme Council was different. Even the Ledin Kingdom that believed in the doctrine of Holy Light had to show some respect to it. Almost no one in the kingdoms established by other intelligent races dared to disregard the Supreme Council.
"Ever since Geresco left, the three of us have been in charge of the Supreme Council for almost a thousand years. It's time for the Supreme Council to become more energetic. I hope you can bring some good changes to the Supreme Council in the future, "Chris said as he looked at Lin Li with a hint of admiration and hope in his eyes.
There seemed to be another meaning to Chris' words, but Lin Li did not think too much about it. Instead, he curiously asked, "So, what else do I have to do to become a councilor of the Supreme Council? I'll get someone to prepare for the formalities and ceremonies. "
Back then, Lin Li still remembered that when he became the President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, the ceremony for the inauguration of the President was not sloppy at all even though the Tower of Dusk had just been established. At that time, there were many people who came to celebrate, and they were all influential figures. Of course, they gave him plenty of gifts too. Now that he had become a councilor of the Supreme Council, he wondered if he should hold a ceremony and get some gifts.
Chris seemed to have seen through Lin Li's thoughts. He shook his head with a smile, and said, "You don't have to prepare anything, this is an internal matter of the Supreme Council. In 10 days, there will be a regular meeting of the Supreme Council, and as a new councilor, you need to attend it. We've already made arrangements for the other matters. "
Although there was no need for a ceremony, and he could not accept any gifts, Lin Li was not disappointed. After all, with his current net worth, there was really nothing else that caught his eye apart from treasures like the Stars of Fury. Besides, others probably could not afford to give him anything that caught his eye.
"In that case, where am I going to attend the regular meeting in 10 days? How do I get there?" Of course, Lin Li knew that the regular meeting of the Supreme Council would naturally be held at the location of the Supreme Council. However, the exact location of the Supreme Council seemed to have been a secret to the outside world for more than 1,000 years.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you there when the time comes," Chris said with a smile before looking around with interest. He then looked around with interest, and said, "Are you going to show me around your Tower of Dusk now?"
Lin Li naturally would not turn down Chris' request. He had put a lot of effort into the construction of the Tower of Dusk, and it might be a little sensational to say that it was his child, but it should be his proudest work. To Lin Li, showing his proudest work to a mythical figure like Chris was something that gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Since the development of the Tower of Dusk until now, there had been more than 1,000 mages who had joined. Naturally, it was impossible to arrange for all of them to stay in the tower. Besides, the Tower of Dusk was different from the other Guilds of Magic. It was not established in a city, and the mages that it recruited were not only from Doland City, but also from other areas of the Breezy Plains. Unlike the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, the Emerald Tower was directly erected in Jarrosus City, and the mages had their own residences in the city.
Hence, a residential area for the mages was specially built on one side of the Tower of Dusk. The area closest to the Tower of Dusk was a relatively independent two-story building that was decorated elegantly. It was specially designed for the elite mages, who were also the members of the mage team.
Outside the residential area of the elite mages was a circle of three-story buildings that were connected together in a circle. There were two rows of such buildings. Apart from being used for the residence of ordinary mages, the outermost row was also used for defense, similar to the city walls of a city. Of course, since it was used for defense, the three-story building might not be tall, but the materials used to build it were very sturdy. In addition, there were also magic arrays and a large number of mageweaths on the outer side. Even Legendary-level magic would not be able to destroy them.
The residential area of the elite mages could accommodate more than 200 mages, while the residential area of the ordinary mages could accommodate 2,000 mages even though the conditions were worse. If all the residential areas were filled, the power of the Tower of Dusk would definitely reach a rather shocking level.
However, as Lin Li stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, the Tower of Dusk would become the holy land of magic in the Breezy Plains in the future. By then, mages from all over the world would probably come to apply to join them. By then, they might have to expand again. Of course, it would not be too troublesome. They just had to build another circle of buildings in the outermost area.
In fact, the entire architectural layout of the Tower of Dusk was borrowed from the Sky Castle. However, because there was no need to set up the Conquering Mageweath, it did not look like a maze.
In addition, there were also several libraries specially set up in each residential area. The contents of the magic books in the libraries were from the outside to the inside, from the shallow to the deep. Hence, there was no need for the mages to specially go to the tower to study. The library in the tower contained the most advanced and core magic knowledge, and only elite mages or those who were specially authorized by the higher-ups could enter to read and study.
The other area opposite the residential area of the mages was the various buildings for the businesses of the Tower of Dusk. The largest one was the Forging Workshop, which was also the residence of the craftsmen and talents in other fields.
Chris originally did not have much interest in the Forging Workshop. He thought that it was nothing more than some blacksmiths who would make clanking noises while hammering various metals. However, when he was brought into one of the workshops, he couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the workers in the workshop were not blacksmiths, but alchemy machines with complex structures.
"This is the work of that goblin Angelano, right?" Chris had lived for so many years, but it was the first time he had seen such a scene.
He saw a row of heavy hammers on the alchemy machine that were raised and falling neatly, hitting the iron blanks below. After hitting a certain number of times, a mechanical rod would push the iron blanks away, and new iron blanks would be replaced by new ones. Those that had been hammered would be sent to the next process to be processed in batches.
The goblins were short in stature, and did not have mana or strength. How could they build the huge Alchemy Colossuses? With their strength, they probably could not even lift a blacksmith's hammer. How could they forge the metal into the parts that they wanted? They relied on their mastery of alchemy machines to replace themselves to complete things that they could not do.
Sometimes, Lin Li even thought that if the goblins did not go extinct, and instead ruled Anril like the High Elves, would this world become the same as the world he had come from before he transmigrated?
Of course, alchemy machines were not omnipotent. The alchemy machines in the Forging Workshop were only used for the initial processing of metals. The real creation of magical weapons still depended on the Blacksmith Masters. The purpose of the existence of these alchemy machines was to provide better confidentiality for certain technologies, and to reduce the workload of the blacksmiths to a certain extent.
