Lin Li stayed in the Tower of Dusk for 20 days, and declined everyone's visits to focus on consolidating his realm again. In the Sky Garden, Lin Li definitely benefited a lot from the conversation with the three arbitrators. Although his level did not increase, it did not mean that his strength did not. In particular, the use of the power of the Sanctuary-realm was what Lin Li needed to understand the most at the moment.
After 20 days, Lin Li could feel that the combat power that he could exert now was definitely not comparable to before. It was like a person who had a weapon and needed to learn how to use it and how to maximize the power of the weapon. A person who wielded a sword and slashed randomly would definitely have a different combat power compared to a person who wielded a sword and used exquisite swordsmanship.
After adjusting himself to the best state, Lin Li began to consider the composition of the team. The other party's strength might be close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and he definitely could not do it alone. Besides, the Ghost could also cast the Undead Heaven, which was the ultimate Necromagic that could summon countless Undead creatures to fight for him.
Lin Li decided to bring along the mages of the Tower of Dusk, as well as some of the mages who had just joined the team. He did not expect them to deal with the Ghost, but they could deal with the Undead creatures with their strength. At the same time, it would be an excellent training for the new mages.
Considering that the other party would summon a large number of Undead creatures, Lin Li decided to bring along the Death Knights in the Black Front Fortress in addition to Norfeller and Ujfalusi. The Death Knights that possessed Divine Power would undoubtedly be the strongest nemesis of the Undead creatures. Besides, there was already a Retribution Knight among the Death Knights, and they might be able to produce a few more Retribution Knights after devouring a large amount of soul fire.
Then, there was Connoris. If it were in the past, Lin Li would never have brought Connoris to see the Ghost. After all, the body that Connoris was using was originally prepared for the Ghost by Osric. God knew what would happen if the two met in advance.
However, things were different now. Lin Li had already used the Immortal King's method to modify the perfect body. Without the flaws in the past, Connoris' soul had become 100% compatible with the perfect body. Even a Ghost would not be able to take it away.
"The mission to Sky City this time is really extremely dangerous. The other party is a Sanctuary-realm ghost who is much stronger than me. I can't protect you at all." Lin Li didn't plan to bring Angelano along at first because his colorful armor was too embarrassing.
However, Angelano changed his timid personality, and it seemed that the armor really gave him a sense of security. No matter how terrifying Lin Li described the Sky Castle, he was determined to participate in the operation. He even said that if Lin Li did not allow him to participate, it would mean that Lin Li was looking down on him, the Goblins, and the alchemy that the Goblins had created. Anyway, the label was getting bigger and bigger. Lin Li wondered who Lin Li had learned it from.
However, Lin Li did not set off immediately after deciding on the participants of the operation. The existence of the Ghost was only one of the problems that Lin Li would face this time. The more important thing was how to control the Sky Castle after getting rid of the Ghost.
Although Lin Li already had the control crystal of the Sky Castle, the magical crystal was like a key that only represented the qualifications to control the Sky Castle. How to control it was another problem.
Although he had explored the Sky Castle once before, and obtained a lot of good things from the Central Tower, the exploration was actually quite rushed, given the size of the Sky Castle.
Initially, after coming out of the Central Tower, Lin Li and the others were planning to continue exploring other places, but the Ghost suddenly awakened. Faced with the powerful Ghost, Lin Li and the others had no choice but to leave in a hurry, and did not have the time to explore the Sky Castle. Of course, that was a very regrettable thing for others, but it was a good thing for Lin Li.
Lin Li was not just speculating about the secret of the Sky Castle. After all, he still had the Eternal Furnace in his hands. The Eternal Furnace was built by Highlord Osric based on the Sky Castle. Although there was still a huge difference between the two, it was not that there were no similarities.
After obtaining the Eternal Furnace, Lin Li did not stop studying the structure of the Eternal Furnace and other issues. In particular, Angelano, the Guru of Alchemy, could be considered to have mastered a lot of the secrets of the Eternal Furnace. As for whether these things in the Eternal Furnace could be used in the Sky Castle, no one could be sure. It was always good to be prepared.
In addition to that, Lin Li also specially visited the Ashen Warlock. The Sky Castle belonged to the Immortal King, and the Ashen Warlock was a life created by the Immortal King. Hence, there might be some connection between the two.
Finally, after everything was ready, Lin Li led the team to the Haiga Mountain Range. Anyone who saw the team from the Tower of Dusk would know that Lin Li was going to make a big move again, but this time, no one came to talk about cooperation.
The power of this team was much stronger than that of the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade. Although the Haiga Mountain Range was known as one of the forbidden areas of Anril, the ferocious Legendary magical beasts could not stop the team from advancing.
They entered the Haiga Mountain Range, entered the forbidden area, and entered the green dragons' lair. Under Lin Li's lead, the team arrived at the place where they had fought with the green dragons in just a few days. This should be considered a revisiting of the old place. Recalling the experience of the past, Lin Li could not help but feel a little emotional.
The Green Dragon King that made Lin Li and the others despair back then was no longer a match for Lin Li at all. However, it was a pity that there was no aura of life in the green dragons' lair at this time. The green dragons that were sent away by the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua back then did not know where they went. Anyway, it seemed that they had never returned.
At the end of the green dragons' lair was the ancient Teleportation Portal. Due to the fact that he did not know the current situation of the Sky Castle, Lin Li did not let the team teleport in batches. Instead, he stood in the center of the Teleportation Portal alone. After carefully studying the Teleportation Portal, he did not immediately activate it. Instead, he took out the huge control crystal before activating the Teleportation Portal.
As the Teleportation Portal was activated, the Teleportation Portal on the stone platform did not start immediately after it lit up. Instead, it began to gradually expand under the power of the control crystal. When the light of the Teleportation Portal enveloped the entire team, there was a sudden flash, and everyone immediately disappeared.
In fact, Lin Li could use the control crystal of the Sky Castle to teleport the entire team to the Sky Castle in other places. However, he did not have the coordinates recorded in the Teleportation Portal. Hence, he could only bring the team here and use the control crystal after obtaining the coordinates.
Perhaps it was because of the use of the control crystal, the teleportation this time did not feel like they were floating in the chaos of time and space. They only felt a flash of light in front of them, and their surroundings had already become the scene of the Sky Castle.
As soon as the team of the Tower of Dusk appeared in the Sky Castle, they were immediately attacked. Fortunately, Lin Li had considered the horror of the Ghost, and had gotten the team to take precautions. However, to Lin Li's surprise, it was not the Ghost or any Undead creature that attacked them, but two tall Alchemy Colossuses.
Of course, the two Alchemy Colossuses could not be compared to Angelano's Titan-level Alchemy Colossuses, but they looked somewhat similar to the two Alchemy Colossuses that Lin Li had obtained in the Dragon Mountains. The two Alchemy Colossuses were also at the behemoth level, and their strength was probably equivalent to that of the Legendary-level.
Such Alchemy Colossuses were actually considered rather strong in Anril. Unfortunately, they were too weak for the team of the Tower of Dusk.
The first to react was the Vampire Norfeller, who was known for his speed. He dashed out of the team like a bolt of black lightning. Norfeller's figure flickered around the body of the Alchemy Colossus a few times, and when he returned to the team, the Alchemy Colossus finally collapsed to the ground while creaking.
On the other side, Ujfalusi also raised the Bone Staff in his hand, and instantly cast a Death Entanglement spell. A black fog that resembled a python darted out of thin air, and entangled the Alchemy Colossus in the blink of an eye. Next, the black fog suddenly retracted, and the massive body of the Alchemy Colossus began to distort, and it immediately lost its ability to move.
Norfeller was a powerhouse who was at the peak of level-23, while Ujfalusi was a level-24 Lich. They were both top-notch powerhouses in Anril. Besides, they had been with Angelano for a long time, and knew the weaknesses of the Alchemy Colossuses better than ordinary metallurgists. Hence, dealing with the two small Alchemy Colossuses was a piece of cake.
At this moment, Lin Li discovered that the Sky Castle was no longer filled with Undead creatures like when he left. Instead, there were two more exploration teams that had beaten him to it.
Lin Li was very familiar with the attire of one of the teams. They were from the Brilliance Shrine, and were made up of some priests and Holy Light Knights. In the Brilliance Shrine, the nature of the priests was similar to that of mages, and they could use Holy Light Magic to attack and heal. The Holy Light Knights were the conventional weapons of the Brilliance Shrine, and were set up in every parish to maintain order in the parish. They were also known as the Apologetic Knights.
The other team's attire was a little special, and it should be said that they had an exotic vibe. The composition of the team was also rather complicated. There were mages, priests, Warriors, and some Alchemy Colossuses. Without a doubt, the Alchemy Colossuses that attacked the Tower of Dusk's team just now should belong to this team.
"The team from the Brilliance Shrine? Could that be the team from the Rotterdam Kingdom?" Basel asked with a frown.
"The Rotterdam Kingdom?" Upon hearing Basel's words, Lin Li also suddenly remembered that he had seized two Alchemy Colossuses and a few Archmages when he was in the Dragon Mountains and annihilating the Syer Bandits. They seemed to be from the Rotterdam Kingdom.
The location of the Rotterdam Kingdom was said to be the place where the goblins lived in the past. Hence, they had discovered many goblin relics, and obtained the inheritance of the goblins' alchemical knowledge. Although there were mages and priests in the Rotterdam Kingdom, and there were no restrictions on religious beliefs, alchemy was the foundation of their kingdom. Hence, metallurgists often had a very high status.
The Rotterdam Kingdom had always been relatively low-key in Anril, and almost never participated in any affairs between countries. However, they seemed to have a good relationship with the Dwarf Kingdom. In fact, many people in Anril did not even know of the existence of the Rotterdam Kingdom, and had never heard of its name in their entire lives.
Why did these two teams appear in the Sky Castle? Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little puzzled because the Teleportation Portal didn't seem to have been used before. However, on second thought, he remembered that there were four other Teleportation Portals in the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council that were distributed throughout the Felan Kingdom. Hence, it seemed reasonable for the Sky Castle to have other Teleportation Portals in Anril.
The sudden appearance of the Tower of Dusk's team, and the fact that they instantly got rid of the two Alchemy Colossuses also attracted the attention of the two teams.
After the two Alchemy Colossuses were put down, a golden-haired Paladin in gorgeous silver armor from the Brilliance Shrine's team pointed the longsword in his hand at the Tower of Dusk's team. Immediately, dozens of Holy Paladins dashed out from the team.
The Holy Paladins were riding white Draconic Horses and clad in silver armor. They were holding Holy Light Cross Spears, and lined up in a neat formation before pouncing towards the Tower of Dusk's team aggressively.
At this moment, the Rotterdam Kingdom's team also sent out a few Alchemy Colossuses that were glowing with the light of the Alchemy Array. They charged towards the Tower of Dusk's team. Clearly, the two teams did not seem to have any intention of communicating with the Tower of Dusk, and were determined to get rid of the Tower of Dusk's team that had come to take a share of the loot.
However, at this moment, the other leader of the Brilliance Shrine's team, Archbishop Martin, who had once invited Lin Li, also recognized the identity of the Tower of Dusk's team. That discovery immediately made his heart clench, and he cursed in his heart. He frantically yelled at the commander of the Holy Paladins who had just given the order, "Jeremiah, hurry up and make them stop. That's the Tower of Dusk's team!"
"Archbishop Martin, I don't care who the other party is. This concerns the interests of the Brilliance Shrine. Anyone who barges in at this time is blasphemous to the Holy Light, and will definitely be punished by the Holy Light!" Jeremiah said with a serious expression.
