However, Lin Li frowned again, and asked, "What about the Osric here?"
Not everyone could be Osric! The real Osric was the only High Elf among the High Elves who did not have a royal bloodline, but had obtained the title of Highlord. He relied more on his intellect that was comparable to the Immortal King's.
Lin Li did not believe that the Osric in this world was just a substitute. Even if he was Osric's substitute, he would have to meet extremely high standards in all aspects. If the fake Osric could be exposed so easily, the other High Elves in this world would not let him off, not to mention Lin Li and the others.
"The High Elves here, especially the members of Osric's Magic Legion who entered at the end of the Dark Age, all think that the Osric here is the real Osric. They think that Osric's death was just an illusion, and that he had actually entered this last sanctuary to take on the mission of guiding the High Elves to revive again, "Ujfalusi said in a strange tone. It was indeed difficult to distinguish the truth from the lies. Come to think of it, they had only met Osric's perfect body in Osric's mausoleum. That did not seem to be enough to prove that Osric was really dead.
"Tsk, you must be joking." Initially, he was very sure that the Osric outside was real, and the Osric inside was fake. However, when he suddenly heard the news, he was a little confused.
After all, it seemed that no one had an accurate answer to whether Osric was dead or alive in the end. Even Angelano, who had guarded Osric's mausoleum for more than 1,300 years, could not say for sure, let alone Connoris who was sealed in the hammer. From the various information, it seemed that Osric had already moved into the mausoleum that he had prepared for himself during his final period of weakness.
Could it be that Osric really did not die!? But what was up with the Specter outside? Lin Li turned to look at Connoris, and asked unnaturally, "Connoris, what do you think about this? When Osric mentioned this world, did he mention anything else?"
"The real Osric is indeed dead. His physical condition was already so bad that it could not be saved. That can't be hidden from me. However, according to my understanding, the Osric of this world is not just a substitute. " Connoris was not shocked by the news, and seemed to know more about Osric.
"What do you mean?" Lin Li vaguely had a hunch about what Connoris meant, but he didn't quite believe it. Hence, he asked, "Could it be that the Osric here is a projection of a clone? But if it's just a clone, how could it have enough power to suppress the other High Elves? "
Powerful beings had the ability to create projection avatars. For example, Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction, had a projection of the Lord of Darkness in the Abyss, and the Emerald Dragon had an Elemental Dragon projection with Xiao Hua. There was also Connoris, who was once one of the ancient deities. He had created countless projected avatars that were almost everywhere in Anril.
However, such projected avatars were different from the Ashen Warlock created by the Immortal King. Every projected avatar would consume the power of the original body. It was just like how there would be one less cup of water in a bucket if a cup was poured out. The more projected avatars were created, or the stronger the projected avatars were, the less power the original body had left. Connoris had created countless projected avatars, but in the end, the power of the original body had fallen from the Sanctuary-level ancient deity to a Legendary-level Demon Lord in the first few floors of the Abyss. Hence, even a powerful existence like the Dragon Aspect that was close to the gods would be very cautious when creating projected avatars. They would not waste any more power.
Besides, it was impossible to really split one's power into two when creating projected avatars. Apart from the power that was consumed in the process, the avatar could only have 10% of the original body's power. Although Osric was powerful, 10% of his power was probably not enough to intimidate the High Elves here.
"It's not a clone. When Osric mentioned this world, he once said that it was a power that even he couldn't possess, and that it was a level that he could never reach in his lifetime. However, he didn't feel depressed because of that. Instead, he was very proud, "Connoris said slowly as he recalled.
"Proud? Is he proud that he found a good teacher? " Lin Li frowned, and couldn't help but interrupt. Although that was what he asked, he knew that Osric probably wouldn't be proud because of the Immortal King given his character. After all, what Osric did in the Immortal King's laboratory was not very respectful to the Immortal King.
"No, he's proud because he schemed against a supreme powerhouse like the Immortal King," Connoris said as he looked in the direction of Alanna City. Connoris looked in the direction of Alanna City in the distance. Before Lin Li could ask another question, he continued, "Although he admitted that he would never be able to reach the level of the Immortal King and create such an ultimate Magical Domain with his talent and intelligence, he admitted that he would never be able to reach the level of the Immortal King and create such an ultimate Magical Domain. However, he has successfully sent a part of his will into this world, and he is very sure that one day, he will completely grasp this power! "
"This … Could it be that Osric here …" Although he had already expected it, Connoris' news still gave Lin Li a shock. If it was really like what Connoris said, the situation that the expedition was about to face would probably be countless times more troublesome than they had expected.
Osric's will came to this world during the Dark Age, and it had been more than 1,300 years since then. With Osric's intelligence and intelligence, coupled with the fact that he was the Immortal King's student, and had obtained most of the Immortal King's inheritance, he was probably not far from mastering this world.
This was definitely a huge problem. Previously, Lin Li was more or less confident about leaving this world considering that the Immortal King was no longer around. After all, no matter how powerful a Magical Domain was, it was equivalent to a dead object without the existence of a ruler. Even if he couldn't find any loopholes, at least there wouldn't be too much danger in this world.
However, there was now an additional Osric in this world, and it was a part of the real Osric's will. After so many years, he should be able to become half the owner of this world. Perhaps Osric still couldn't compare to the Immortal King, but that didn't mean that Osric would be easy to deal with for Lin Li and the others since he had the home advantage.
Lin Li didn't have any clue how to leave this world, and now that he knew that there was a great enemy here, Lin Li was at a loss for what to do. Although Lin Li had now stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and had seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it was difficult for external things to affect one's realm. What was worse was that the control crystal of the Sky Castle in Lin Li's hand had also lost its effect in this world, which meant that it was impossible for him to escape.
At this moment, Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the others, who had arranged their teams, came to Lin Li's side again. Faced with this familiar yet unfamiliar world, they who were only at the peak of the Legendary-realm were even more at a loss.
"Since there are humans and other races in this world, should we go and contact them? They might have an underground resistance organization too." Since the ancestors of the Rotterdam Kingdom once led the various races to overthrow the rule of the High Elves in Anril, we can do it again in this world. " Prince Kanber of the Rotterdam Kingdom suddenly thought of replicating the situation at the end of the Dark Age and starting another war of resistance in this world.
Although Kanber once again attributed the credit of overthrowing the High Elves' rule to the ancestors of the Rotterdam Kingdom, the people around him were already familiar with the Rotterdam Kingdom's character, and could not be bothered to argue about it at all.
However, it was undeniable that this seemed to be a feasible path. After all, the humans and other enslaved races in this world had also reproduced for thousands of years, so there should be some talents among them. Hence, not only did Kanber's words not cause the others to feel disgusted, they even made Archbishop Martin and the others a little tempted.
"Master Felic, what do you think of this idea? Even if we can't find a way to leave, it would be a good thing if we could free the humans and other enslaved races in this world." Archbishop Martin asked Lin Li for his opinion. If possible, he even wanted to spread the doctrine of Holy Light there.
However, Lin Li shook his head slightly, and said to Ujfalusi, "Tell them about the situation you've grasped."
"From the memory of that High Elf's soul, more than 1,300 years ago in this world, there were indeed some resistance organizations among the races enslaved by the High Elves. However, since the end of the Dark Age, the High Elves who survived entered this world, and their rule over humans and other races became stricter. Not only did they strictly forbid the spread of magic knowledge, but they also adopted a policy of purging the enslaved races, and continuously killed all those who could step into the Legendary-realm. So, don't count on the people here. " Ujfalusi's tone did not fluctuate at all as he calmly talked about the situation of the humans and other races in this world.
Everyone understood as soon as they heard it. Clearly, with the lessons of Anril, the High Elves of this world had adopted a harsher method of ruling over humans and other races. Under such a high-pressure rule, even if another figure like Geresco were to appear among the humans, he would probably be killed by the High Elves before he could grow up.
Kanber glared at Ujfalusi, who had refuted his suggestion, and then confidently said to the others, "So what? They're just some remnant High Elves. The Immortal King will no longer protect them, and they don't have the Sky Castle or the Tree of Eternity. I believe that even with our strength alone, it shouldn't take much effort to exterminate these remaining evildoers. Maybe we can be sent out of this world after we destroy all the High Elves in this world. "
Of course, everyone knew that it was nonsense to be able to be sent out of this world after they destroyed all the High Elves. However, they had to admit that a battle with the High Elves was definitely inevitable. Even if they didn't look for them, they would eventually come looking for them.
"We definitely have to fight, but we have to plan carefully on how to fight. We have to figure out the strength of the High Elves in this world," Archbishop Martin said cautiously. After all, the High Elves in this world had developed for more than 1,000 years compared to the High Elves in Anril. No one knew to what extent their strength had developed. Although, as Kanber said, the High Elves in this world did not have a Sky Castle, and were far from being as powerful as they were in Anril, the expedition was also not comparable to the rebel forces back then, nor did they have Sanctuary powerhouses like Geresco and the three arbitrators.
Kanber seemed a little disdainful of Archbishop Martin's cautiousness. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Archbishop Martin, you're too cautious. They're just some remnants of the High Elves."
"Sure, let's attack Alanna City with the Rotterdam Kingdom's team as the vanguard." Prince Jeremiah had always disliked the inexplicable sense of superiority of the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Hence, after hearing what Kanber said about Archbishop Martin, he naturally retorted immediately. Wasn't he just relying on his wife to get the title of a noble of the High Elves? The High Elves' dynasty was already over. What was there to be proud of?
What was the difference between a vanguard and a cannon fodder? Although Kanber was proud and arrogant, he was not stupid enough to be willing to be cannon fodder. Hence, he was immediately rendered speechless by Jeremiah's words.
"Ujfalusi, tell us about the strength of the High Elves." Lin Li did not bother about the quarrel between the two, and instead asked Ujfalusi to introduce the situation of the High Elves to Archbishop Martin and Donald.
Soon after coming to this world, they had captured a High Elf, which was considered a relatively lucky thing for the expedition. That way, at least they did not have to split up and explore. After all, although this world was created based on Anril, no one knew what kind of hidden dangers there were.
Ujfalusi had been sorting out the memories he had obtained from the soul of the High Elf. At this moment, he was almost done sorting them out. Hence, after hearing Lin Li's instructions, Ujfalusi recounted the corresponding information in his memory in detail without much thought.
