The major forces were not fools. Of course, they wouldn't let the talents in their territories slip away. Apart from raising their own standards, they also blocked the news and created rumors. Those were all effective methods.
Besides, not everyone came to this world alone like Lin Li. Who didn't have friends and family behind them? Even if the local forces did not threaten him with his family, he would still have to consider that possibility. After all, mages were humans too. Hence, who would be willing to try their luck at the Tower of Dusk if they could gain enough fame and fortune in their hometown?
However, things were different now. Firstly, the Tower of Dusk had almost become the ruler of the entire Breezy Plains, and all the forces had submitted to it. In the past, those forces would more or less spread rumors about the Tower of Dusk in their own territories, but none of them dared to do so now.
On the contrary, the first thing they did after the meeting was to find a way to erase the previous rumors. There was a Sanctuary powerhouse in the Tower of Dusk, and if the news spread to the Tower of Dusk, they would be in big trouble.
Without the blockage and rumors created by those forces, the mages of the Breezy Plains naturally flocked to the Tower of Dusk after knowing that the President of the Tower of Dusk was a Sanctuary Master who was comparable to the gods. All the mages who had some confidence in their talent would go to the Tower of Dusk to try their luck. There was a huge difference between following a Sanctuary powerhouse and following a Legendary powerhouse.
However, there were no restrictions for ordinary Guilds of Magic. One only had to prove that he was a mage, and then go through a level evaluation. Such mages were only members of the Guild of Magic, and did not have to do anything for the Guild of Magic. In fact, they could even join other forces. Of course, they wouldn't get much help from the Guild of Magic.
However, not everyone could join the Tower of Dusk. There were strict tests in terms of magical talent and other aspects. However, the number of mages in the Tower of Dusk had already doubled in just 10 days. In the future, all the magic geniuses of the Breezy Plains would probably join the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li took a rough look at the situation in the Tower of Dusk, and without informing anyone, he flashed and arrived at the Eternal Furnace at the top of the Tower of Dusk. However, as soon as Lin Li appeared in the square of the Eternal Furnace, he discovered that there were people fighting there.
It wasn't strange that they were sparring. What was strange was that on one side was the leader of the mage squad, Alan, and on the other side was a weird-looking fellow. That guy was wearing a full set of heavy armor, just like a human heavy infantry. Not a single part of his body was exposed. Moreover, even though the fellow was wearing a horned helmet, the highest he reached was only Alan's chest. He looked like a heavily armored dwarf.
Lin Li's appearance made the two of them stop, and the heavy-armored dwarf immediately yelled, "Felic, you're back. Come and take a look at my new work!"
As soon as he heard the shrill voice, Lin Li finally realized that it was Angelano who was in the tin can that was painted all over.
"You asked me for those magical metals just for this?" Seeing that Angelano had raised the visor on his helmet, Lin Li felt that he had really lost to him. Previously, Angelano had asked for a lot of precious magical metals, and Lin Li thought that he was going to make something good. In the end, it was all for an armor!
"Don't underestimate this armor. I've experimented with it, and even a full blow from a Legendary powerhouse wouldn't be able to break its defense," Angelano said proudly.
"I don't object to you making armor, but can you have a little more aesthetic sense?" Lin Li pressed his forehead, and simply couldn't bear to look at it. How was that armor? It was normal for others to wear armor that was either black, silver, or even gold. However, Angelano's armor consisted of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
The horned helmet was green, the pair of horns was white, the visor was red, the breastplate was yellow and purple, the shoulder armor was blue, and the arm armor was yellow … There were many other colors that Lin Li didn't know how they were mixed. If not for the fact that all the parts fit seamlessly, Lin Li would have suspected that the armor was pieced together from many sets of armor of different colors.
Angelano raised his arms and sized them up. With a puzzled expression, he said, "What's wrong? This contains all the colors in this world. It's definitely the most gorgeous and beautiful!"
Now, he finally understood why the High Elves wanted to exterminate the Goblins! Lin Li was speechless, and stopped arguing with Angelano about the color of the armor. He said, "Don't you have an Alchemy Colossus? Why do you want to wear armor?"
Lin Li wasn't worried that Angelano would be squashed by the heavy armor. Judging from his fight with Alan just now, it was obvious that the interior of the armor was powered by the same magic as the Alchemy Colossus. In other words, it could be called an armor-type Alchemy Colossus.
"No, it takes time to summon the Alchemy Colossus. I'll encounter too many dangers if I follow you. I can't entrust my safety to others. Let me tell you, don't underestimate this armor of mine. Even if a Sanctuary powerhouse were to attack me, it would still help me buy time to enter the Alchemy Colossus. "Angelano was obviously shocked by what happened in Brahere's mausoleum.
"Can't you change its color?" Lin Li tried to persuade Angelano to give up on the so-called beauty of the combination of all the colors.
However, Angelano shook his head decisively, and said, "Why? Isn't it beautiful? You actually have the same aesthetic standards as that fella Osric. I'm so disappointed! "
Clearly, Angelano had thought of painting his Alchemy Colossus in the same way. However, Osric, the butcher, was not as easy-going as Lin Li.
"… Alright, whatever you like." Lin Li waved his hands helplessly, but he secretly decided not to bring this fella out in the future. It was too embarrassing!
Seeing that Lin Li had actually agreed, Angelano immediately looked extremely excited. He put down the visor, and ran to Alan to test the performance of the armor. What a joke, Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse. How could Angelano have the guts to go against him? He just didn't expect Lin Li to agree to it after he persisted for a while.
As soon as Lin Li saw Angelano's reaction, Lin Li understood that this damned Goblin might immediately change the color of the disgusting armor without saying anything at all. Unfortunately, since he had already agreed, Lin Li couldn't go back on his words. He could only pretend that he didn't see it.
After leaving the Eternal Furnace, Lin Li gathered the senior executives of the Tower of Dusk to get a brief understanding of the current situation of the Tower of Dusk. Basically, the current development of the Tower of Dusk was that its business was getting bigger and more talented.
Pharmaceutics and forging were the two main industries of the Tower of Dusk, and the scale of production had increased to a certain extent. Of course, the expansion was not done blindly. The Tower of Dusk did not have the power to meet the needs of the entire Breezy Plains at once. However, without the obstruction of those forces, the business channels had become much smoother, and a large amount of wealth was continuously gathered in the Tower of Dusk, becoming the driving force for further development of the Tower of Dusk.
In terms of talents, Lin Li saw that the number of mages who had reached the elite standard had increased by 200 to 300 when he returned. After a certain amount of training, those elite mages could all join the mages.
However, the problem was that some of the mages had a certain background, such as the descendants of some mage families or leaders of some forces. Gavin and the other senior executives could not make up their minds about how to arrange for those people. It was obviously inappropriate to reject them, but it didn't seem to be reassuring to accept them.
However, Lin Li did not feel that it was too difficult for him to solve the problem, and simply said that he would treat everyone equally. Lin Li was now in the Sanctuary-realm, and that was absolute power. Hence, there was no need for him to worry about conspiracies. It was not that he was arrogant and conceited, but no one dared to take the risk of offending a Sanctuary powerhouse for profit. That would simply be courting death. As for the other Sanctuary powerhouses, they would not bother to do such things at all.
Regarding the affairs of the Tower of Dusk, there was no longer a need for Lin Li to do anything personally now. It was more important for him to point out a direction for Gavin and the others. That was a problem of management. At the same time, Lin Li really did not have more energy to waste on trivial matters.
The time that Geresco calculated was getting closer and closer. Although Tutankhamun had said that one could seal the spacetime rift after reaching the Sanctuary-realm, it was a problem of management. However, after experiencing the big rift in the Eternal Darkness Altar, Lin Li now did not believe that sealing the spacetime rifts was really just a matter of standing outside and chanting a spell.
The Darkness High Priest Rogge had once said that there were extremely powerful creatures hidden in every big rift, and those creatures were waiting for the big rift to open completely before rushing into Anril. How could they sit back and watch the big rift be sealed again? Besides, Lin Li remembered that Rogge had once mentioned that there was an existence that even Rogge was afraid of among the large rifts that Geresco had calculated.
Although Rogge had been forced into a miserable state by the Flame Dragon Lothar back then, he was still much stronger than Lin Li, who had just entered the Sanctuary-realm. Lin Li did not think that he could provoke the existence that even Rogge was afraid of with his current strength. Even the seven pieces of the debris of the stars would not be enough.
Obtaining the Stars of Fury was something that Lin Li had to do before sealing the spacetime rift. However, Lin Li did not feel very safe with just the Stars of Fury alone. After all, his current strength could not be compared to the Immortal King at all. Even if he obtained the Stars of Fury and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it would still be impossible for him to kill an existence like the Dragon of Destruction.
Although Lin Li had experienced plenty of thrilling moments after coming to Anril, he was still very afraid of death deep down. Hence, before sealing the spacetime rift, Lin Li hoped to do everything possible to get more help and reduce the risk factor as much as possible.
Hence, after seeing the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council, Lin Li thought of the other Sky Castle that he controlled. Of course, he said that he controlled it because he had the control crystal of the Sky Castle, and could even summon the Sky Castle now. However, he did not forget that there was a powerful Ghost left behind by Highlord Osric in the Sky Castle.
When the exploration of the Sky Castle ended, the Ghost's strength was probably at the peak of the Legendary-realm. However, after such a long time, Lin Li was sure that the Ghost's strength had definitely reached the Sanctuary-realm with the help of the Psychic Array. Besides, the Ghost might not be just an ordinary Ghost, and it was very likely that Osric's soul had already been integrated into it.
That would be too terrifying. Osric was a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and although his soul had lost its body, its strength might reach the peak of the Sanctuary-realm if it were to be integrated with the Ghost. In Osric's plan, he wanted to wait for the Ghost to grow up and integrate it with the perfect body in the mausoleum so that he could achieve the goal of breaking through and becoming truly immortal. If both the Ghost and the perfect body could not reach the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, how could he break through the last step through the integration of the two?
Hence, Lin Li dared not summon the Sky Castle to Anril before dealing with the Ghost. That would undoubtedly bring a huge disaster to Anril, and it would probably be even more terrifying than the Retribution Knight Rodhart back then.
"Seems like I still have to make a trip to the Sky Castle!"
If he could fully control the Sky Castle, Lin Li believed that it would definitely provide him with great help in the upcoming battle to seal the spacetime rift. In fact, it might even play a decisive role.
The Seventh Sky Castle was originally the most powerful one among the seven Sky Castles of the High Elves. In particular, the Conquering Mageweath on it could even allow the residents to have terrifying power that was comparable to that of the gods. That was something that the Ice and Fire Natural Domain in the Eternal Furnace could not compare to.
Besides, that was something that had to be done sooner or later. Once the Ghost reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li would probably not have to summon the Sky Castle at all. The Ghost would have a way to descend to Anril on its own. Otherwise, how could it integrate with the perfect body? The ghost had yet to leave Sky City, so it was either because it wanted to take control of Sky City, or because its strength had yet to reach its peak.
