Through the tour and Chris' detailed introduction, Lin Li knew that the Sky Garden in front of him had all sorts of perfect facilities that even the Seventh Sky Castle could not compare to. Although the Sky Garden could not be compared to the Seventh Sky Castle in terms of power system, the perfect facilities and the advantage of being completely suitable for human mages were enough to bridge the gap between the two.
However, perhaps for the sake of saving power, the Sky Garden did not turn on the canopy of the city. The environment in the city was the same as the environment in the sky outside. The extremely low air pressure and the ubiquitous magic turbulence were very fatal to mages below the level of an Archmage.
Hence, Lin Li followed Chris on the tour, and saw that the streets of the Sky Garden were very deserted. Occasionally, they would only see a few mages hurrying about. Of course, the mages were at least level-15 and above. Mages below that level would simply be courting death in such an environment.
Along the way, Chris finally brought Lin Li to the center of the Sky Garden. There was a tower with a strange shape that was extremely eye-catching. In fact, it even seemed a little out of place compared to the architectural style of the surrounding environment.
The tower was built with materials that Lin Li had never seen before. It was not magical metal, nor was it any special stone. Instead, it seemed to be made of wood. On the surface of the tower, there were unique patterns of wood that seemed to contain some kind of rule that formed a natural mageweath with terrifying power.
"This Central Tower was built by Geresco using half of the trunk of the Tree of Eternity. Hence, it's called the Tower of Eternity. Although it has already lost its life, the power it contains is still incomparable to any other material. " Chris saw the doubt in Lin Li's eyes, and hence answered with a smile before Lin Li could ask.
Hearing this answer, Lin Li couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat. Geresco was really capable of coming up with all sorts of ideas. He actually thought of using half of the trunk of the Tree of Eternity to build a tower. One could imagine that in such a tower, mages would probably not have to do anything at all, and they would be able to improve their strength at all times.
In this way, Lin Li also understood why the shape of the tower was so strange. The few branches that extended from the top of the tower were obviously the thick branches of the half-broken tree. And now, on those branches, there were windows. Clearly, they had been modified into rooms for various purposes.
At this time, the square in front of the tower was no longer as deserted as the streets. Many mages walked over from all directions of the Sky Garden. Some walked directly into the tower, while others with better eyesight came over to greet Chris. Of course, they had all sorts of speculations about Lin Li, who had appeared beside Chris.
After responding to a few mages who came to greet them, Chris brought Lin Li into the Eternal Tower.
The Eternal Tower occupied a large area, and just the hall after entering the gate was like a wide square. On both sides of the hall, there were many side halls that were equally large. Some of the mages who had arrived earlier were chatting in the hall, while others were discussing something in groups of three to five in the side halls.
Generally speaking, those who talked in the side hall probably didn't want to be disturbed. Therefore, most mages wouldn't casually enter the side hall out of courtesy if they saw someone there, unless it was someone they knew.
After Chris brought Lin Li into the hall, he did not stop for long, and instead brought him directly to a side hall on the side of the hall. As soon as Lin Li saw the people in the side hall, he immediately understood what Chris was thinking. The two people who were talking there were Aldwin, the President of the Alanna Guild of Magic, and Macklin, who had already advanced to the Legendary-realm.
Lin Li was not surprised that the two of them could appear there. As the President of the Guild of Magic, how could Aldwin not be a councilor? Macklin had successfully stepped into the Legendary-realm during the exploration of Osric's mausoleum. Coupled with his contribution to the Supreme Council during that exploration, it was reasonable for him to become a councilor. Besides, the two of them were probably not ordinary councilors. At least, Aldwin was qualified enough to become a high-ranking councilor.
Seeing that Arbitrator Chris had brought Lin Li into the side hall, Aldwin and Macklin, who were talking, were stunned for a moment, but they quickly recovered from their shock and greeted Chris.
"Yes." Chris simply nodded in response to their greetings, but he turned around and smiled at Lin Li. "You guys are considered acquaintances, so let's have a chat here first. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be accompanying you."
Hearing Chris' words, Lin Li did not react much, but Aldwin and Macklin got a great shock. It turned out that Adjudicator Chris had specially sent Felic over because he was afraid that it would be too boring for Felic to stay here alone after he left!
What kind of status did an arbitrator have? He was a supreme existence in the Supreme Council, yet he actually valued Lin Li so much that he even had to care about his feelings! No one in the entire Supreme Council could receive such treatment. Even Andoine and Rosen, who were the chairmen, would not be able to receive such treatment.
After sending Arbitrator Chris away, Lin Li, Aldwin, and Macklin returned to the side hall and sat down. Seeing that the two of them seemed to have not recovered from the shock, Lin Li smiled, and said, "Masters, it's been quite some time since we last saw each other."
"Oh, yeah, it's been quite some time," Macklin subconsciously chimed in. He suddenly snapped back to his senses, and frantically asked, "Lin Li, why did you come here with Arbitrator Chris?"
"Didn't you say that the Supreme Council was going to summon me for a regular meeting? I've never been to the Sky Garden before, so Arbitrator Chris brought me here." Lin Li gave a simple explanation, and did not go into detail about why Chris went to the Tower of Dusk to look for him.
However, even if Lin Li did not go into detail, Aldwin and Macklin were not fools, and could more or less guess some of it. Since Chris was the one who brought Lin Li over, he had to have specially gone to look for Lin Li. As for why he brought Lin Li over, he had already mentioned that it was a regular meeting of the Supreme Council. Hence, there was no need to guess. At the very least, Lin Li was definitely a councilor.
"Lin Li, I remember when you participated in the trial. I didn't expect you to have already stepped into that door after such a short period of time. Compared to you, it really makes me feel like I've lived my life in vain. " Aldwin had long heard of the rumors that Lin Li had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, but he didn't believe it at first. Lin Li had already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm in his twenties. Even though he was extremely optimistic about his magical talent, he didn't believe that it would be that exaggerated.
However, after seeing Arbitrator Chris' attitude towards Lin Li, coupled with the fact that Lin Li had an aura that was extremely similar to Chris', Aldwin finally had an answer in his heart. The answer shocked him and made him feel a little depressed, but he was more in awe of Lin Li's talent.
Macklin had just stepped into the Legendary-realm when he was exploring Osric's mausoleum. Although it had been some time since then, it was still not enough for ordinary people to make any breakthroughs. Hence, he was only at the peak of level-20.
Macklin could not feel the Sanctuary-realm aura of Lin Li very clearly. Hence, Aldwin's words made him a little confused. He asked, "President, what did you say? What gate? Didn't Lin Li reach the Legendary-realm long ago?"
"Above the Legendary-realm." Aldwin shook his head with a wry smile. He had stepped into the Legendary-realm for so many years, but the Sanctuary-realm was still so elusive. He didn't know if he would have a chance in this life. However, Lin Li was not human at all. Even the High Elves, who were known as the most outstanding race, did not have such an insane speed of improvement.
"Uh … Sanctuary-realm above the Legendary-realm? No way, Lin Li, you've really stepped into the Sanctuary-realm! " Macklin had just stepped into the Legendary-realm, and perhaps he had yet to experience the difficulty of advancing in the Legendary-realm. Hence, he was not as emotional as Aldwin.
Lin Li, Aldwin, and Macklin chatted in the side hall. Although there were more and more people entering the Eternal Tower, no one came to disturb them. However, that did not last long. Two middle-aged mages walked in with a young mage each.
The two young mages were Lin Li's acquaintances. They were Mason and Orrin, who had been Lin Li's roommates for a period of time during the mage trial. According to Aldwin's introduction, one of the two middle-aged mages was the President of the Chevan City Guild of Magic, the level-19 Archmage Joey, who was also Mason's teacher. The other was the President of the Rotterdam Guild of Magic, the level-20 Legendary-mage Hahnar, who was also Orrin's teacher.
Initially, Joey and Hahnar were very puzzled when they saw Aldwin chatting happily with a young man outside. However, after hearing Aldwin's introduction that Lin Li was the President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, the two of them immediately put aside their doubts, and chatted with Lin Li enthusiastically.
Although Mason and Orrin had already found Lin Li to be very familiar before they came in, they were uncertain when they saw Lin Li sitting and chatting with Aldwin, the President of the Alanna Guild of Magic, in a relaxed manner. However, after following their teacher into the side hall and seeing Lin Li's appearance, the two of them were already certain that Lin Li was indeed their former roommate, Lin Li. However, because their teacher was right beside them, they could not go forward to say anything.
The two of them could only stand beside their teacher and listen to their teacher, whom they had always been in awe of, talk to their former roommate as equals. Mason wanted to say something, but did not dare to. Instead, he looked like he was scratching his ears and cheeks. If it weren't for his teacher, he would have gone forward to grab Lin Li and reprimand him. Orrin, on the other hand, was still as cold as ever, and stood motionless beside his teacher. However, when he looked at Lin Li, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
After chatting with the two presidents for a while, Lin Li saw that Mason, who was standing behind President Joey, was opening and closing his mouth as if he was saying something to him. He even secretly reached out and pointed outside the side hall. Being a young man, Lin Li naturally understood what Mason meant immediately. Hence, he greeted Aldwin and the others, and said that he was going to catch up with the two of them.
However, Aldwin did not let Lin Li leave. He said that he was going to bring Joey and Hahnar out to introduce them to a few councilors. Hence, the four of them left the side hall, leaving the three young men behind.
Seeing that his teacher had left, Mason heaved an exaggerated sigh of relief, and found a chair to sit down on. While massaging his legs, he said to Orrin, "Hey, haven't you had enough of standing? I'm exhausted from walking and standing all the way here."
"Idiot." Orrin's evaluation of Mason remained the same, but he also found a chair to sit down on.
Mason was already immune to Orrin's words. He simply rolled his eyes, and turned to Lin Li. "Felic, I heard that you've created quite a stir in the Breezy Plains. There's even a rumor that you've entered the Legendary-realm. Is that true? Are you here to become a councilor?"
Unlike Mason, Orrin did not ask a bunch of questions eagerly. However, after hearing Mason's questions, he also listened attentively. Clearly, he wanted to ask those questions too, but could not bring himself to do so due to his character.
"Legendary-realm? I guess so. This time, I'm indeed here as a councilor to attend some regular meeting. " Lin Li did not hide the fact that he was a councilor. As for the issue of strength, if he were to say that he was already in the Sanctuary-realm, Mason would probably take it as a joke.
Although that was Lin Li's answer, Mason and Orrin could not help but look envious. At the same time, as his former roommates, they were naturally happy for Lin Li's achievements.
"A councilor of the Supreme Council? My teacher has just become a councilor. Say, if I had found a place to be a president back then, would I be a councilor now? If that were the case, Teacher wouldn't always scold me if I were a councilor, haha! " Mason's words revealed his fantasist nature. He looked at the ceiling, and had already entered a state of daydreaming.
"Idiot, you're daydreaming again. With your abilities, you would have been long dead by now." Orrin poured cold water on Mason at the right time, directly extinguishing his beautiful dream.
"You … Why don't you let me think about it?" Mason was dismayed by Lin Li's words, but he quickly became excited again. He asked Lin Li about the Breezy Plains.
In fact, after the trial, Mason and Orrin's strength had improved rather quickly. When they participated in the trial, Mason was only a level-9 mage. Now, he had become a level-16 Archmage, and Orrin was a real level-17 Archmage. With such speed, he was definitely qualified to be called a magic genius in Anril.
