Gerosso's underlings continued to jeer and mock Mason unscrupulously. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of Mason and stared at Gerosso and the rest with a cold gaze.
"Orrin, I was just about to look for you. I didn't expect you to come to me yourself," Gerosso said, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes. Although Gerosso was a level-19 Archmage, which was two levels higher than the level-17 Orrin, he would have a great advantage in a real fight.
However, Orrin's craziness during the battle left a deep impression on him. In the past few battles, he would often have to pay a huge price even if he won in the end. Hence, he wouldn't be willing to fight Orrin unless he was 100% confident.
Hence, Gerosso looked at the two of them, and pretended to be magnanimous. "Mason, Orrin, this is the territory of the Supreme Council. I'll give you a chance. As long as you apologize to me for what happened yesterday, I'll let you off this time."
However, Orrin did not react to Gerosso's words at all. Instead, he began to inject mana into the staff in his hand, as if he would attack them immediately if they didn't step aside. Seeing that the other party was being so ungrateful, Gerosso finally couldn't stand it anymore, and gestured to his underlings, who immediately surrounded Mason and Orrin.
He was feeling smug now, and naturally didn't want to put himself in a sorry state. Hence, he planned to gang up on them. Those who could move around in the Sky Garden were all Archmages. Gerosso was a level-19 Archmage, and he had a few level-16 and level-17 Archmages. It would be too easy for them to deal with Mason and Orrin.
Even if Orrin could exert combat power that was beyond level-17, he still wouldn't be able to deal with the siege of so many people. However, at this moment, Gerosso suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his body, and he lost control of it again. The few underlings beside Gerosso all had horrified expressions on their faces, and their movements froze in an instant. Clearly, they had received the same treatment as Gerosso.
"Felic, you bastard, I won't let you off!" Gerosso had already experienced it before. Hence, he immediately realized that it had to be that damned Felic. Hence, he couldn't help but curse.
"Mason, Orrin, follow me. Don't waste time here. I've already arranged for you to study in the core library for a period of time. " He didn't even look at Gerosso and the others, as if they didn't exist at all.
The Core Library was the place where the Supreme Council collected magical books. It contained a large number of precious books left behind by the High Elves, as well as the various research results of the Supreme Council over the past 1,300 years. It had always been open only to the mages who were directly under the Supreme Council.
Although the library would be open to the students of the councilors during meetings of the Supreme Council, they were not qualified to enter the Eternal Library at all. After all, even in the Magic Union, their collection of magic books will not be casually read by all members.
Mason and Orrin had arranged to meet Lin Li at the library of the Supreme Council, but they had never thought that Lin Li would help them fight for the opportunity to enter the Core Library to study. The situation was originally extremely bad for them, but the crisis was suddenly resolved, and they even received such great news. The two of them couldn't even react for a while, and were stunned.
Gerosso was the first to react, and he was almost driven mad by the news. It was not the first time he had followed his teacher Leddings to the Supreme Council, and he often took this opportunity to enter the library to study. However, his teacher had tried to pull many strings, but he still couldn't get him to enter the Core Library.
"Damn it, Felic, you won't be smug for long! Let go of me now and apologize to me. You might be able to leave yourself a way out! " Gerosso seemed to have calmed down a little, and was no longer yelling in exasperation. However, his tone was even colder and more vicious. However, Lin Li, who walked over from behind, ignored Gerosso at all, as if it was just the buzzing of a fly.
At this moment, Mason and Orrin finally snapped back to their senses, and hurriedly left the encirclement of Gerosso and the others to come to Lin Li's side. Thinking of what Gerosso had said just now, Mason was a little worried. He said to Lin Li, "Felic, they seem to have devised some conspiracy against you and the Tower of Dusk?"
"They're just clowns, don't bother with them. Let's go, I reckon it's only a few days before the end of this meeting. Go to the Core Library and study in peace for a few days. It's up to you how many benefits you can get, "Lin Li said with an indifferent smile. Could the conspiracy of ants hurt a Sanctuary powerhouse? It was obviously impossible.
"Clown, how dare you call me a clown!? Felic, you don't have to be smug. Let me tell you, you're going to be finished. Do you know that you and the Tower of Dusk are going to be finished!? You're going to lose everything you have now, and everything will belong to us. You're going to become a stray dog soon! "Seeing that Lin Li was ignoring him, Gerosso hollered hysterically.
Seeing that Lin Li was about to leave with Mason and Orrin, Gerosso and his subordinates began to yell and curse like crazy. After all, being imprisoned in such a place was not something to be proud of. However, as soon as they started cursing, they stopped abruptly without any warning. It was completely different from being strangled, and an invisible force deprived them of their ability to speak. In an instant, they couldn't make a single sound at all.
Based on Mason and Orrin's understanding of Gerosso and the others, they knew that it was impossible for them to shut up consciously. There was no doubt that the reason was because of Lin Li. However, to their surprise, they did not detect the slightest magical wave at all even though they were following Lin Li.
Both of them knew that there were all kinds of control magic in each element of magic, such as paralysis in the thunder element and slowing down in the ice element. However, the duration of each control magic would not be long, and it might only last for a moment or even a few seconds. Now, Gerosso and the others were all Archmages. Not only were their bodies restrained and their mouths sealed at the same time, it seemed like they wouldn't be released in a short while. Was that something that a Legendary-mage could do? At least in the eyes of Mason and Orrin, Lin Li's current strength was probably not as simple as someone who had just entered the Legendary-realm.
Of course, in fact, even a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm might not be able to do what Lin Li did, let alone someone who had just entered the Legendary-realm. Imprisoning several Archmages with a single thought was already close to the means of the gods, and it was the ultimate use of nomological power. It had completely exceeded the existing magic system, and was something that Mason and Orrin could not understand at all.
Lin Li left with Mason and Orrin, while Gerosso and the others became a unique scene on the avenue. Soon, they attracted the attention of countless onlookers. Gerosso and the others were like statues that were being pointed at by the people around them because their movements had been restrained, and they couldn't even make a sound. To Gerosso, it was a great humiliation, and the boundless resentment almost drove him crazy.
What was worse was that the Legendary-mages in the Sky Garden, including Gerosso's teacher, were all preparing for the meeting today. That also meant that Gerosso and the others would probably be put on display in public for the entire day. Of course, Gerosso and the others did not know that even a Legendary-mage would not be able to remove the shackles on their bodies. Damn it, I swear I'll make you die a horrible death! At this moment, all Gerosso could do was to constantly fantasize about how he would deal with Lin Li after he lost the Tower of Dusk.
"Felic, is it okay to leave them there? I heard Gerosso clamoring just now, and it seems like he has something to rely on. It doesn't seem like he's spouting nonsense. I think you'd better be careful, "Mason reminded Lin Li again on the way to the Core Library.
"Yes, you have to be careful." Given Orrin's character, he was obviously worried for Lin Li.
"We're here." When he arrived at the entrance of the Core Library, Lin Li stopped in his tracks, and smilingly said to the two, "You don't have to think too much about this matter. Just focus on studying here. There's nothing that can threaten me now."
Lin Li was not bragging. With his current Sanctuary-level strength and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars that possessed great power, no one would be able to stop him even if he were to face a peerless powerhouse like the three arbitrators. Of course, he did not think that an ant like Gerosso could come up with a scheme that would involve the three arbitrators. An ant would always be an ant. No matter what kind of scheme it came up with, it was just a joke in the eyes of a Sanctuary powerhouse.
In that case, there was no need for Lin Li to waste his time and effort on it. He didn't bother to find out anything at all. After sending Mason and Orrin to the Core Library, Lin Li returned to the Eternal Tower in preparation to attend the meeting today. However, unlike the day before, he clearly felt that there were many more gazes directed at him this time, and all of them seemed to be filled with different intentions. If it had been in the past when he was still in the Legendary-realm, Lin Li would really have to do some calculations.
However, everyone below the Sanctuary-realm was considered an ant now. Hence, Lin Li naturally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the behavior of the ants. Indifferently, he went to his seat and sat down. Felic, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for this matter, how could I have gotten to know Deputy Chairman Rosen!? Councilor Leddings, who had once fled in fear outside Lin Li's house, looked at Lin Li who was sitting quietly in the corner in the distance, and couldn't help but smile smugly.
In the entire venue, there were many councilors who had the same thoughts as Leddings. It was impossible to say that no one was jealous of the massive wealth of the Tower of Dusk. Although the goal this time was the Tera Mine, and did not involve the other industries of the Tower of Dusk, it would be much easier to divide the wealth of the Tower of Dusk in the future if this proposal could be passed.
Rosen, who had already taken his seat at the deputy chairman's seat, raised his eyes and looked around the venue with a smug expression. In fact, even Rosen himself did not expect the plan to be carried out so smoothly this time. Now that he had confirmed that he had more than half of the votes in the council, even if the neutral councilors sided with Andoine, Andoine would have no chance of turning the tables.
Rosen could totally imagine that once the proposal was passed, it would not only bring him huge benefits, but also fundamentally shake Andoine's position. As the chairman of the council, if Andoine couldn't even protect the interests of his disciple, what dignity would he have in the future? Rosen believed that it wouldn't take long for the councilors who had originally sided with Andoine to lose confidence.
By then, as long as he joined forces with the councilors to impeach Andoine, he would be able to remove the title of deputy chairman from the council. That would be a real gain that was even greater than the Tera Mine. The entire Supreme Council would truly be under his control.
Looking at Andoine who was seated not far away from him, Rosen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Old rival, don't blame me for not giving you face. You can only blame yourself for taking in a student who's causing trouble everywhere. Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Li had offended Gerosso and Leddings as soon as he arrived at the Sky Garden, Rosen might still be vexed about not having enough votes.
Although Leddings did not bring a lot of votes, the few crucial votes gave Rosen decisive control over the situation. Soon, the councilors had already taken their seats, and as Andoine gently rang the bell on the table, the entire venue immediately fell silent.
During the meeting yesterday, the topic of the war between the Ledin Kingdom and the Felan Kingdom had yet to come to a conclusion. Hence, the first topic to be discussed today was still that issue. After more than ten minutes of discussion, they entered the voting process. In the end, more than half of the members did not agree to push for war. When the meeting was about to discuss the next proposal, Rosen finally took out the proposal that he had prepared overnight.
If it were an ordinary councilor, the proposal would be discussed at the next regular meeting. However, as the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council, Rosen had the authority to request for the discussion of the proposal to be brought forward. That was something that Rosen couldn't stop. Besides, Rosen also emphasized that the proposal would have a vital impact on the development of the Supreme Council.
"It has been more than 1,300 years since the establishment of the Supreme Council, but in the past few hundred years, the development of the Supreme Council has reached a bottleneck. I believe everyone is well aware of this fact. “
