There was finally a slight change in Donald's expression. However, the anger only lasted for a fleeting moment. He thought about how the three of them managed to capture five of their Alchemy Colossuses just now. Although it was just a small test, the other party's strength was obviously not to be trifled with.
Donald looked at the Tower of Dusk's team, which was a team of heavily armored knights that seemed to be close to the Legendary-level. There were Legendary-mages among the mages that had formed a strange formation, but most of them were level-18 or level-19, and were close to the Legendary-level. The few of them seemed to be important figures, and all of them had Legendary-level strength. Besides, they had not just entered the Legendary-realm.
Although Donald was very confident in the strength of his team, he also knew that it would not be easy to take them down. More importantly, Donald could tell that the people from the Brilliance Shrine were clearly related to the group of people who had just arrived. If the two of them were to join forces, it would definitely be a huge hindrance to the next part of his plan.
"It seems that you can't afford the compensation. Alright then, I'll give you another chance. As long as you compensate for the repair materials for these Alchemy Colossuses, I can forgive you for entering this place," Donald said in a stiff tone. Although he made it sound like he was trying to save himself some face, he was actually rather displeased that he was forced to give in.
Indeed, he had made a huge concession in his request this time. Instead of paying double the full amount of compensation, he only had to pay for the repair materials. That was not a concession of a few times, but a concession of dozens or even hundreds of times. Of course, after this concession, the compensation conditions had also become slightly more reasonable from demanding an exorbitant price.
The most valuable part of the Alchemy Colossuses was mainly the alchemy technology that was used in them. Besides, the value of the materials used was still relatively small in the overall value. Of course, the value of those materials was still very high, but at least they could be found, unlike the technology of the Alchemy Colossuses that was monopolized by the Rotterdam Kingdom.
However, even so, the materials used to make the Alchemy Colossuses were not something that anyone could obtain. Besides, everyone was there to explore the Sky Castle, and no one would bring so many random things. Clearly, even though the compensation terms had been lowered, it still seemed like they were deliberately making things difficult for him.
Archbishop Martin frowned slightly, and immediately wanted to stand up and say a few words for Lin Li. However, Prince Jeremiah had been thinking about how to get back at Archbishop Martin, and naturally did not want to miss the opportunity. Hence, he grabbed Archbishop Martin.
Seeing that Archbishop Martin was glaring at him, Jeremiah hurriedly whispered into his ear, "Isn't it better for us to have a strained relationship with them!?"
Of course, Archbishop Martin knew that this was not Jeremiah's true thoughts, but considering the relationship between the royal family of the Ledin Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine, he had no choice but to bear with it for the time being.
Jeremiah secretly rejoiced that he managed to persuade Archbishop Martin. The materials for the Alchemy Colossuses were extremely expensive, and they were in the Sky Castle now. Jeremiah wanted to see what Felic was going to use as compensation. He didn't believe that the other party would bring along all sorts of random materials to explore the Sky Castle. If he couldn't afford it, he would undoubtedly make a fool of himself.
However, to Jeremiah's surprise, Lin Li agreed readily this time. He said to Donald, "Sure, give me the list."
There was no need to wait for the list of materials needed for the repairs to be done now. In fact, during the conversation, the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom had already been calculating the damage of the seven Alchemy Colossuses. After all, even if there was no compensation, they still had to repair the Alchemy Colossuses themselves, and they couldn't possibly give up on the combat power.
Donald waved at the person who was doing the statistics not far away, and soon, the metallurgist from the Rotterdam Kingdom ran over and handed him the repair list. Donald did not pick it up, and instead pointed at Lin Li. He proudly said, "Give it to him. He'll be responsible for the compensation for the repair materials."
Lin Li took the list and glanced at it before throwing it back to the metallurgist. He said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll get someone to repair it for you."
"You're going to get someone to repair it?" Hearing Lin Li's words, Donald and the metallurgist who had just arrived felt as if they had heard a fantasy story. Someone actually dared to say that he could repair the Alchemy Colossuses in front of the metallurgist from the Rotterdam Kingdom! That was the most ridiculous thing they had ever heard in their lives.
Not to mention Donald, even Archbishop Martin and Jeremiah couldn't believe their ears. Although the Rotterdam Kingdom was isolated, it was recognized as the strongest country in the entire continent in terms of the development of alchemy. It could be said that the Rotterdam Kingdom was a country that was founded on alchemy and dominated by it. After obtaining the inheritance of the alchemy knowledge of the goblins, and after thousands of years of in-depth research, the development of alchemy in the Rotterdam Kingdom had already reached the peak of the world.
Now, someone actually casually said that he could send someone to repair the damaged Alchemy Colossuses. How could that be possible!? The Alchemy Colossuses were not children's toys. They were the condensation of the essence of the entire alchemy civilization, and the highest embodiment of peak alchemy. Although the entire Rotterdam Kingdom had been vigorously developing alchemy civilization, there were definitely very few people who could master all the mysteries of the Alchemy Colossuses, not to mention people outside the kingdom.
However, Lin Li did not care about what they were thinking. Instead, he said to Angelano, who was behind him, "Angelano, go and deal with those Alchemy Colossuses that have been paralyzed."
Although they did not believe that Lin Li could find someone who could repair the Alchemy Colossuses, they were still a little curious about who Lin Li would ask to do it. However, when they saw the man called Angelano coming out, they were all taken aback.
What kind of person was he? He seemed to be about the same height as a dwarf, and he was wearing heavy armor. He did indeed have the style of a dwarf. However, which dwarf would paint his armor in such a garish manner? It was as if he had knocked over all the dye cans. To be honest, that colorful appearance, especially when the shorty was moving around, made people feel dizzy just by looking at it.
Could such a monster repair the Alchemy Colossuses? At the very least, Donald felt that he had been fooled. However, he did not say anything to stop him, and simply wanted to see how Lin Li was going to clean up the mess.
However, what was even more infuriating was that the garish dwarf was still grumbling while walking. "What are you doing? Are you insulting me!? That's trash that can't even be considered a toy. I feel like vomiting just by looking at it, and you actually want me to fiddle with them? "
Those words were unacceptable to the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom. The Alchemy Colossuses were the embodiment of the essence of their alchemy civilization. Yet, they were being called trash that couldn't even be compared to a toy! That was simply an insult to the entire alchemy civilization of the Rotterdam Kingdom!
"Is this the person who can repair the Alchemy Colossuses that you said? I don't think a person who doesn't respect alchemy civilization can master true alchemy, "Donald said while suppressing the displeasure in his heart. In fact, he was right. Those who did not respect knowledge would never be able to master true knowledge.
However, Lin Li shook his head in disapproval, and calmly said, "I think you've misunderstood. He's not talking about alchemy civilization, but your so-called alchemy civilization."
"You! Fine, I'd like to see what right your people have to question our great alchemy civilization! " After all, Donald still had some scruples, and did not really want to go to war with the other party. Although it was important to maintain his beliefs, the Sky Castle was the top priority at this juncture.
At this moment, Angelano had already arrived in front of an Alchemy Colossus. There was an alchemist from the Rotterdam Kingdom standing beside the Alchemy Colossus with his arms crossed, staring at Angelano's actions coldly. He did not believe that such a clown would have the ability to repair the Alchemy Colossus.
Indeed, Angelano did not carefully understand the structure of the Alchemy Colossus and carefully analyze the damaged parts like the metallurgists had imagined. Instead, he took out a pair of tools that left all the metallurgists dumbfounded.
There was a crowbar that looked like a short spear and a hammer that seemed to be used by blacksmiths. Angelano held the two exaggerated tools, and walked straight to the Alchemy Colossus that had collapsed. Without looking at it at all, he waved the tools in his hands.
Damn it, is this clown really a dwarf!? The metallurgists, who were watching coldly at the side, immediately panicked when they saw the situation. They rushed forward in a bid to pull Angelano away from the Alchemy Colossus.
However, Angelano was not slow at all. He directly raised the hammer in his hand, and smashed it against the Alchemy Colossus twice. Next, he used the crowbar in his other hand to pry and insert it into the Alchemy Colossus, and a part fell from it.
Seeing this situation, the metallurgists of the Rotterdam Kingdom were about to go crazy. While rushing forward to stop him, they yelled, "Stop, stop quickly, are you going to completely destroy this Alchemy Colossus!?"
What a joke. Although Angelano's armor was a little ugly, it was full of power. How could the metallurgists stop him? He casually waved his hand and pushed them far away. He then smashed the hammer in his hand hard on the Alchemy Colossus without stopping for a moment.
"Stop!" The metallurgists lay on the ground and stretched out his arms, looking at Angelano's violence with a face full of grief. Every time the hammer fell, it was as if it was falling on his body.
"There's actually no positioning device on the transmission shaft on the leg. No wonder it became paralyzed with a light touch. How dare you treat such a piece of trash as a treasure!?" Angelano ignored the metallurgists' cries of grief, and simply took out an ordinary piece of steel from somewhere. He smashed it casually twice, and stuffed it into the body of the Alchemy Colossus. He then swaggered towards another Alchemy Colossus.
"Stop, don't come over!" The owner of the other Alchemy Colossus stretched his arms and blocked Angelano's way with a nervous expression. He refused to move away no matter what.
"Do you think Lord Angelano is willing to care about trash like you? Get lost!" After Angelano obtained the armor, he became much more courageous. He reached out to push the metallurgists away, and then stepped forward to pick up the hammer.
At this moment, the surrounding metallurgists surrounded them. They could already tell that one person could not stop the arrogant dwarf at all.
"Is this what you call alchemy civilization? You can't even tidy up the mana circuits at the waist, and the 13 mana circuits are actually mixed together. I really have to admire your courage to use such trash to fight. Don't you know what will happen if the mana circuits come into contact with each other? Or is this the suicide Alchemy Colossus that you've researched yourself? " When Angelano swung the hammer, there were even two metallurgists hanging on his arms. Unfortunately, they could not stop him at all.
Now, the metallurgists could also tell that it was impossible to stop him with just their physical strength, no matter how many people there were. A few metallurgists who were also mages even took out their staffs and began chanting spells in an attempt to cast magic to stop Angelano from continuing with his violence.
However, Angelano did not even look at them. With the armor on his body, even the full blow of a Legendary-mage would not be able to shake him at all, let alone a few Archmages. After repairing another Alchemy Colossus, he walked towards another Alchemy Colossus with two people hanging on his arms.
The other party was too shameless. He actually sent a dwarf who only knew how to swing a hammer. This was not repairing, but destroying. He was trying to completely destroy the Alchemy Colossuses! Looking at the chaotic scene, the corners of Donald's mouth twitched slightly, but he could not stop them even if he wanted to. He was the one who agreed to let the other party repair the Alchemy Colossuses. Now that he said that he would not allow them to repair the Alchemy Colossuses, there was no need to talk about compensation.
Jeremiah, who was watching from the side, was also shocked, and had forgotten his original intention of waiting to see Lin Li make a fool of himself. This is too f * cking reckless. That Felic doesn't follow the rules at all. How dare he destroy the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom!?
However, Angelano's violence was not over yet. After smashing the chest armor of another Alchemy Colossus with a few hammers, he looked at the situation inside and sneered. He shook his head, and said, "Don't use the Array Circulation Pathway casually if you haven't learned it well. You can't even figure out the beginning and the end, and yet you want to rely on this to increase the utilization of mana? What a joke."
The metallurgists were originally ready to cast magic, but after hearing Angelano's words, they were all stunned. If it were the previous things, they could still say that Lin Li was spouting nonsense, but the technique of the Array Circulation Pathway was definitely a Master-level alchemy technique. Even if a layman had heard of it, he would not be able to tell if he did not have enough vision.
