Before Gerosso could finish speaking, Leddings rushed towards him and gave him a tight slap. He hollered in exasperation, "You're an incompetent and spoilsport. How dare you address me as your teacher!?"
Gerosso had been imprisoned for three days and three nights without eating or drinking. He was extremely exhausted, and what was worse was that he had to constantly be criticized. For someone like him who had always thought of himself as a proud son of heaven, this was simply a great humiliation.
The reason that the proud Gerosso did not go crazy in such a situation was because he was still very confident in Rosen's proposal. He felt that Felic definitely wouldn't be arrogant for long, and he was constantly thinking about how to deal with the enemy who had brought him such humiliation.
However, the slap from his teacher, Leddings, left Gerosso dumbfounded, and he vaguely felt that something was amiss. When he returned from Deputy Chairman Rosen's place and brought the news to his teacher, his teacher praised him a lot, and even said that he could rest assured and leave the Guild to him in the future. Why did he suddenly change his attitude now!?
"Tea-Teacher, why!?" Gerosso covered his face with a look of confusion and horror in his eyes. He couldn't understand why his teacher's attitude towards him had changed so drastically in just three days.
"Why!? How dare you ask me why!? How many times have I told you not to cause trouble outside? Do you still listen to me!? Do you still respect me as your teacher!? " Leddings was so infuriated that he was trembling all over. Of course, it could also be due to fear. After all, the arbitrator was there to protect him. Although Leddings had yet to show any intention of holding it against him, he had repeatedly offended Leddings. Even a good-tempered person wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
However, Gerosso had no idea. He had been standing outside the library for three days and three nights, and no one had told him about what had happened at the venue. However, he could tell from his teacher's tone that things seemed to have gone awry. In disbelief, he said, "Teacher, did something happen!? Could it be that Deputy Chairman Rosen's proposal didn't pass? "
"How dare you mention this!? Do you still have me, your teacher, in your eyes? " Leddings waved his hand, but did not lower it. Instead, he pointed at Gerosso, and berated sternly, "If you hadn't gone to look for Rosen on your own, I wouldn't have been in such a passive position! After you go back, you better stay in the Union obediently. If you dare to go around stirring up trouble again, I'll pretend that I never had a student like you! "
"How can that be? Impossible. Deputy Chairman Rosen has already confirmed that more than half of the councilors will support him!" Although he didn't get a clear answer, Gerosso still heard the problem from his teacher's words. However, this was even more unbelievable. He was also clear about the entire plan. With the support of more than half of the councilors, even the chairman had no power to stop the proposal from passing. No matter how he thought about it, there shouldn't be any accidents.
However, Leddings snorted coldly, turned around, walked to a chair at the side, and sat down. Then, he said slowly, "Half! So what if all the councilors support him? How can they compare to the arbitrators? "
"Umm … Arbitrators!" When Gerosso heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt had struck his head. He immediately sat down on the chair, and muttered in a daze, "Impossible, how is this possible …"
Everyone knew that the three arbitrators were the ones who were really in charge of the Supreme Council. The chairman and deputy chairman were just like butlers, and no matter how much the councilors argued, they wouldn't be able to compare to a word from the arbitrators.
However, the arbitrators were god-like figures, and Legendary powerhouses were like insignificant ants to them. How could they suddenly intervene in the affairs of insignificant ants!?
"Why is it impossible? If you can step into the Legendary-realm in your twenties, you might be valued by the arbitrators. Unfortunately, think about it. Ever since you reached level-19, you've been stirring up trouble every day. When have you ever been able to study magic in peace? You can't even see a trace of the Legendary-realm. What do you have to be proud of? Does defeating a few Archmages mean that you're invincible!? "Leddings retorted bitterly. No matter how furious he was, Gerosso was still his student, after all. Besides, he was talented in magic too, and had a high chance of entering the Legendary-realm.
"Yes, Teacher, I will definitely, definitely step into the Legendary-realm!" Gerosso lowered his head and clenched his fists, his eyes glistening with indignation. However, he also knew that Lin Li was protected by an arbitrator, and it would be impossible for him to take revenge this time.
"Okay, it's good that you have this determination. The matter here has come to an end, we should go back," Leddings said wearily.
On that day, Leddings did not let Gerosso rest, and instead left the Sky Garden quietly with his proud disciple without saying goodbye to anyone. It couldn't be helped. Leddings' friends were still blaming him for getting them into trouble. At least for now, no one was willing to see him.
After the regular meeting, Lin Li did not immediately leave to return to the Tower of Dusk, and instead stayed in the Sky Garden for a few more days. On one hand, he wanted to understand more about the Supreme Council through Andoine's introduction. After all, even if his identity as the fourth arbitrator was kept a secret, he still had to understand a lot of things as a newly promoted councilor.
On the other hand, he wanted to ask the three arbitrators some questions about the Sanctuary-realm. The three arbitrators were all powerhouses who were at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and had extremely rich experience in the Sanctuary-realm. Although Lin Li already had Geresco's Book of Eternity, the book was dead, after all, and some questions could not be answered in the book.
The three arbitrators each had different understanding and experience of the Sanctuary-realm, and the path they took might deviate from or even go against the path that Lin Li wanted to take. However, to Lin Li, it was also an excellent reference for him to supplement the experience of the Sanctuary-realm in the Book of Eternity.
In the first place, the three arbitrators, especially Apophis and Chris, had a good impression of Lin Li. Now, they wanted Lin Li to help them shoulder the burden of the Supreme Council. It could be said that they treated him as their successor, and naturally spared no effort in answering his questions.
However, Lin Li still had to manage the Tower of Dusk, after all, and his identity as the fourth arbitrator had to be kept a secret. Hence, he couldn't make it too obvious. Like the other councilors who came to attend the meeting, it was time to leave after staying in the Sky Garden for another 10 days.
Of course, a few days of learning would not allow Lin Li to make a very obvious breakthrough in his level. The Sanctuary-realm was a process of transformation from a human to a god, and the gap between each level was huge.
With the help of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, Lin Li's combat power was definitely stronger than that of ordinary people who had just entered the Sanctuary-realm. However, if he wanted to increase his realm, it would take a long time to rely on the accumulation of research and study, no matter how talented he was in magic.
However, the few days of communication had also given Lin Li a clearer understanding of the Sanctuary-realm. In particular, the changes in each stage and some mysterious experiences made Lin Li feel like he had seen the light under the guidance of the three arbitrators.
Hence, although Lin Li's level did not change, some of the problems that he might encounter on the path to the Sanctuary-realm in the future had been nipped in the bud, making the path much smoother.
When it was time to leave, Lin Li bade farewell to the three arbitrators, and met up with President Joey and President Hahnar. In addition, Mason and Orrin, who had been studying in the Core Library, also came out on this day, and were ready to return to the Guild of Magic with their respective teachers.
"Haha! Felic, look at me. How is it? I'm already a level-17 Archmage, and I've taken a big step towards the Legendary-realm! That Core Library is really amazing. There are so many things that I didn't know about before. "Mason did not hide his excitement at the sight of Lin Li, and started talking non-stop.
"Idiot, you're daydreaming again," Orrin said coldly as he stood at the side, not giving him any face at all.
"You! Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Why don't we compete and see who can step into the Legendary-realm first? " Mason had advanced by one level in the Core Library, and thought that he could catch up with Orrin. To his surprise, Orrin had also advanced by one level, and was still ahead of him.
In the past few days of studying in the Core Library, both of them had advanced by one level. Actually, it was not that the Core Library was really that magical that could allow people to advance by one level easily in a few days. It was mainly because the two of them were talented in magic to begin with, and their strength might not be inferior to Gerosso's when they reached his age.
The two of them had already accumulated a certain amount of experience in their respective levels. Even if they didn't enter the Core Library to study, their levels would definitely increase in a year or two. The real value of studying in the Core Library for the past few days was actually the correct guidance for them on the path of magic in the future, just like how the three arbitrators guided Lin Li. Of course, whether or not they could step into the Legendary-realm depended on their own efforts.
However, no matter what, Joey and Hahnar were naturally overjoyed to see that their students had improved significantly. They couldn't help but thank Lin Li again, especially Mason's teacher Joey.
Due to the fact that he couldn't step into the Legendary-realm, the Chevan City Guild of Magic had fallen to the point where even pirates dared to bully them. If it weren't for the deterrence of the Supreme Council, they probably wouldn't even be able to stay in Chevan City.
Hence, Joey had placed all his hopes on Mason. He only hoped that Mason could step into the Legendary-realm one day and revive the Guild of Magic. Now that Mason's strength had taken another step towards the Legendary-realm, Joey was naturally elated to see it.
In fact, it was the same for Joey's Chevan City Guild of Magic and Hahnar's Rotterdam Guild of Magic. However, because Hahnar had stepped into the Legendary-realm not long ago, the situation in the Rotterdam Guild of Magic had improved slightly.
That was a problem that the three arbitrators had mentioned to Lin Li previously. It seemed that the magic civilization in Anril seemed to be very prosperous, and there were more and more people learning magic. However, the quality of magic was getting worse and worse compared to the Dark Age. After more than 1,300 years of development, not only had there not been a new Sanctuary Master, but the Legendary-realm had also become the peak of magic in people's hearts. That was a very sad thing.
Lin Li couldn't care less about that problem now. If it were easy to solve, the three arbitrators would have done it a long time ago. Hence, in the face of Joey and Hahnar's gratitude, Lin Li merely said a few polite words, and then chatted with them while walking towards the Teleportation Portal.
When Lin Li arrived, it was Arbitrator Chris who brought him directly to the Sky Garden with a Space Teleportation Magic. That Space Teleportation Magic could only be cast by Sanctuary powerhouses, and the other councilors still had to rely on the four fixed Teleportation Portals to get to and from the Sky Garden.
Lin Li had learned that magic himself, and with his understanding of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, and the Space Laws in the Space Robe, he had no problem using that magic. However, since there was a Legendary Portal to use, Lin Li couldn't be bothered to waste his energy.
Apart from Leddings, who had specifically targeted Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk during the meeting and left in advance out of fear of Lin Li's revenge, there were also many councilors who only began to leave at this time. The main reason was so that they or their students could study in the library of the Supreme Council for a few more days.
The four Teleportation Portals corresponded to the Teleportation Portals in the four cities of the Felan Kingdom. Lin Li and the others headed to the Teleportation Portal that corresponded to the Alanna Guild of Magic. The other councilors who were closer to Alanna would use this Teleportation Portal, while those who were further away would choose other Teleportation Portals.
Previously, Lin Li had learned that the Chevan City Guild of Magic, where Mason was, was being attacked by a group of pirates, and had to rely on the support of the New Crescent City Guild of Magic to barely survive. At that time, Lin Li had said that he could provide the Chevan City Guild of Magic with a few Magical Crystal Cannons and a batch of magical crystals.
The Magical Crystal Cannons were definitely not a problem for the pirates. The ships on the sea were not as agile as humans, and even humans could not avoid the cannons of the Magical Crystal Cannons, let alone the pirate ships.
Mason originally thought that Lin Li had only said that to anger Gerosso, so he did not mention it to his teacher, Joey. After all, he also knew that a Magical Crystal Cannon alone was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. A few Magical Crystal Cannons and a batch of magical crystals were definitely not something that any Guild of Magic could give away.
