Since the establishment of the Supreme Council more than 1,300 years ago, there were only two people who had been received by the three arbitrators at the same time, and only two of them were known to have been recorded in history. One was Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine, and the other was the once famous Prophet Willen of the Brilliance Shrine.
The Brilliance Shrine was the only force in Anril that could be compared to the Supreme Council. As the pope of the Brilliance Shrine, Rosario was also a true Sanctuary powerhouse. Be it in terms of status or strength, he was the best in Anril.
Prophet Willen was the Son of the Holy Light of the Brilliance Shrine, and his status was not inferior to that of the pope at all. Rumor had it that he had once fought with Apophis. Although no one had seen the process of their fight, Apophis had said more than once that Willen was stronger than him.
When Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine came, he was received by the three arbitrators. After that, the Supreme Council and the Brilliance Shrine joined forces to fight against the Black Current in the Sunset Mountains. When Prophet Willen came, he was also received by the three arbitrators. After that, there was the suppression of the Retribution Knight in the Breezy Plains.
Look at what kind of people those two were. The two meetings led to two major events that determined the fate of Anril.
What about Lin Li? In the eyes of the councilors, he was just the President of a Guild of Magic in a remote area, and a newly promoted councilor of the Supreme Council who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm less than two years ago.
Among the councilors present, many of them believed that they were far superior to Lin Li in terms of status and strength. However, not to mention being received by all three Arbitrators at the same time, even getting a chance to meet one Arbitrator was something that one could only hope for and not ask for.
"Deputy Chairman Rosen, do you want to take this proposal back and consider it again, or do you want to vote on it?" Andoine did not expect Lin Li to be valued so highly by the arbitrators, but after all, it was a good thing in his opinion. Hence, he was not too shocked, and quickly snapped back to his senses.
However, Rosen was different. He was the one who planned and pushed the whole thing forward. Faced with the sudden change, he had to consider the relationship between Lin Li and the three arbitrators.
The relationship between the arbitrators and Lin Li was like a person suddenly paying attention to an ant out of a momentary interest. That was not too terrifying. Rosen was confident that he could make the arbitrator lose interest in that insignificant ant through some means.
However, was that really the case? Rosen was not blind, nor was he deaf. He had seen and heard everything that had happened just now.
Judging from Arbitrator Apophis' attitude towards Lin Li, Rosen could vaguely tell that he probably did not protect Lin Li out of momentary interest, but because he really valued Lin Li. It was not the protection of a lofty deity toward an ant. Instead, it was the care of a senior toward a junior.
This was too terrifying! If you killed someone else's dog, you could make some compensation, and the matter would be over. But if you killed someone else's child, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although Rosen was still unwilling to believe it, he had to be careful. If it was true, he would be in trouble!
Vote? Hearing Andoine's question, Rosen couldn't help but feel bitter. Even if he had the courage to continue pushing for the proposal now, the final result of the vote would probably be the opposite of what he expected.
Rosen looked up at the venue, only to see that the councilors who had initially expressed their strong support for his proposal did not dare to make eye contact with him at all. Their eyes were all darting around, and they had long been scared out of their wits. Even his hardcore supporter, the high-ranking councilor Hubert, had turned pale and his lips purple. He seemed to be on the verge of death.
In fact, not to mention the other councilors, even Rosen's heart was beating extremely fast, and he even felt a dull pain in his chest.
"Since Felic has left the venue, I think we should put this proposal aside for the time being. Through the discussion just now, I do feel that there are still some problems with the proposal that may need to be further studied. " Rosen thought about it again and again, and decided to take a look at the situation first. He could not afford to offend the arbitrators.
"Oh? In that case, Councilor Hubert, Councilor Leddings, what do you think? " Andoine glanced at Rosen before turning his head to ask the councilors who had been in the limelight during the discussion just now.
Canuman, who had been thrown out by Apophis, had yet to return to the venue. It was unknown if he was severely injured or too ashamed to come in.
Hubert and the others saw that Rosen, who was in charge, had also given up. Hence, they naturally did not dare to stick their heads out again. After hearing Andoine's question, everyone shook their heads and waved their hands awkwardly, saying that they hadn't considered it thoroughly enough just now.
After Lin Li left the venue with Apophis, the two of them didn't say much, and instead walked side by side towards the top of the Eternal Tower.
Lin Li didn't see the situation in the venue, but he could guess that since Arbitrator Apophis had already appeared, Rosen and the others would probably have retreated if they weren't fools.
In fact, even if Apophis didn't appear, Lin Li wouldn't take it to heart. Canuman might be a level-23 Legendary-mage, but with Lin Li's abilities, it would be a piece of cake for Lin Li to crush him. Lin Li didn't mind using some ruthless means in the Eternal Tower. Apophis' appearance could be considered to have saved Canuman's life.
Hence, after leaving the venue, Lin Li forgot about the proposal. What really made him curious was the invitation of the three arbitrators. What exactly was it that required the three arbitrators to discuss with him?
Although he had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li believed that there was still a huge gap between his current strength and that of the three arbitrators. In terms of status, he was just a small President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic, while the three arbitrators were the true supreme leaders of the Supreme Council.
No matter how he looked at it, there didn't seem to be any possibility for him to sit down and discuss things with the three arbitrators.
However, Lin Li didn't ask Apophis about it. Anyway, all his doubts would naturally be answered after he met the other two arbitrators. Besides, judging from the attitude of the two arbitrators, Apophis and Chris, Lin Li reckoned that they wouldn't harm him no matter what it was.
Hence, along the way, Lin Li didn't ask much about anything, and instead focused his attention on his surroundings while observing the layout of the Eternal Tower. While looking at it, he secretly compared it to the Tower of Dusk.
Although the things he saw were definitely not comprehensive enough, Lin Li had no choice but to admit that the Supreme Council had a profound foundation that the Tower of Dusk could not compare to. After all, the Supreme Council had been operating here for thousands of years, and the Eternal Tower was the core of the Supreme Council. How could it be inferior?
After all, the Supreme Council had been operating here for thousands of years, and the Eternal Tower was the core of the Supreme Council. How could it be inferior? Besides, the massive wealth that they had seized from the High Elves at the end of the Dark Age was not something that Lin Li had gained from exploring a few secret treasures.
In general, the layout of the Eternal Tower gave off the impression that it was simple and plain without any gorgeous or precious decorations. Unlike the magnificent buildings of the High Elves that Lin Li had seen before, the ground and walls were all made of wood, giving off a comfortable and natural vibe.
Of course, it was just a feeling. In fact, there was no other material in the entire Anril that could be more precious than the trunk of the Tree of Eternity. The Eternal Tower itself was built with half of the trunk of the Tree of Eternity, and any magical crystals or metals would just be superfluous.
What attracted Lin Li the most were the natural textures on the floor and walls. Lin Li had Guru-level attainments in the field of inscription, and he had also stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. Hence, he had a deep understanding of the World Laws. He could completely tell that the natural textures contained pure Laws, and each of them was a natural mageweath.
The textures formed natural mageweaths, and the mageweaths formed natural mageweath arrays. The mageweath arrays then formed an even larger mageweath array that had even surpassed the Guru-level. Even Lin Li could not find out where its limits were.
Lin Li could only sigh secretly. It was indeed worthy of being the Tree of Eternity that had given birth to the High Elves and supported Anril. It was a miracle of creation. At the same time, Lin Li also had greater expectations for the Tree of Eternity that he had planted in the Tower of Dusk. When the small seedling gradually grew up, it would definitely bring the Tower of Dusk to an unreachable peak, and even make the Tower of Dusk the Holy Land of Magic in the entire Anril.
Finally, Lin Li arrived at the top of the Eternal Tower under the lead of Apophis. To Lin Li's surprise, Arbitrator Chris, who had picked him up previously, was actually waiting outside the door.
Upon sight of Lin Li and Apophis, a smile appeared on Chris's gentle face, and he said in a friendly tone, "You're here, come in."
After greeting him, Lin Li followed the two arbitrators into the room. This place seemed to be a library, filled with rows of bookshelves, and on the bookshelves were books that looked old or new. There was a table in the middle of the bookshelves, and another arbitrator, Megard, was seated in front of it.
At this moment, Megard was flipping through a magic book with a black cover. After hearing Lin Li and the others enter, he raised his head to look at them.
