Another World's Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 1028: Gilded Kingdom

However, regardless of whether they believed it or not, no one dared to question a Sanctuary powerhouse. Anyway, time would prove everything. After the extremely brief meeting this time, the representatives of the other forces bade farewell apprehensively. Other than verifying Lin Li’s words, they still had to rush back to report to their superiors about Lin Li’s abilities.

Initially, Lin Li also intended to ask Macklin to stay behind for a few days in the Tower of Dusk. After all, Lin Li had been staying in seclusion in the library during this period of time, and had not entertained his guest, Macklin, well. However, although Macklin did not take the matter of the Felan to heart, he was extremely curious about what Lin Li had done, and was eager to see the wonders Lin Li had created.

It was very easy to verify the news in the Felan Kingdom. There was a random structure on the sea, and the culprits who’d attacked the port were there too. Hence, the news soon spread like wildfire in the Felan Kingdom. In fact, there were many who surged into the port from all directions, all for the sake of catching a glimpse of the rare scene.

After seeing the iceberg with his own eyes, Macklin also reported to Aldwin about the Tower of Dusk. Within a few minutes, Lin Li covered almost half of the area of the mainland, and although Aldwin had also stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he admitted that he would not be able to do that. Besides, the Gilded Kingdom’s other battleship had vanished in a moment.

Perhaps only the three Arbitrators of the Supreme Council could do something like that! After hearing Macklin’s report, Aldwin could not help but think, He’s truly an incredible existence that ordinary humans can’t compare to!

After receiving that news, the king of the Felan Kingdom was so elated that he could not stop grinning. If he hadn’t been worried that it might be unsafe in the sea, he would have personally gone to see the wonderful iceberg.

The battleship of the Gilded Kingdom had openly attacked the port of the Felan Kingdom, which was tantamount to insulting the Felan Kingdom. However, now that the Gilded Kingdom’s battleship had turned into a tourist attraction that was free for viewing, it was a blatant slap in the Gilded Kingdom’s face. The king of the Felan Kingdom finally felt like he had vented the pent-up anger of several days.

Compared to the Felan Kingdom, it would be harder to prove the authenticity of Lin Li’s claim in the Breezy Plains. After all, Lin Li had taken ownership of the battleship without leaving any remains in the sea. He did not return the resources on the battleship to the respective forces, either.

However, when Lin Li placed the gigantic battleship in the Magic City of the Tower of Dusk, and began to carry out the modifications, the forces that received the news naturally discovered that Lin Li wasn’t lying at all. While verifying the truth of the matter, the news of the new scenic spot at the Felan Kingdom’s port also spread to the Breezy Plains. After tallying the news, the forces that were doubting Lin Li’s abilities in the beginning were finally shocked by his strength.

In the headquarters of the Mithril Alliance, Elvis, who had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, sunk deep in thought for a long time after hearing the reports from the messengers whom he had sent to the Tower of Dusk.

Since the Dark Age, the Mithril Alliance’s legacy had been passed down for thousands of years, and it had always been a top force in the Breezy Plains. A force with such a rich heritage actually had to bow down to a new force that had been established only for a few years. That was something that no one in the Mithril Alliance could accept.

However, it couldn’t be helped, since the Tower of Dusk had such an incredible and competent president who had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm at a young age. Under the deterrence of the Sanctuary powerhouse, the people of the Mithril Alliance had no choice but to resign to fate despite feeling extremely indignant. Otherwise, if they were to end up provoking the Sanctuary powerhouse and cause him to attack them, the Mithril Alliance would be too weak to contend with him, no matter how major of a force they might be.

Fortunately, the magic tides suddenly appeared and gave Elvis, who had originally lost all hopes of stepping into the Sanctuary-realm, the chance to do so. Although the Mithril Alliance had always been apprehensive about the rumors of Lin Li dying in the Sky Castle, they had felt that even if Lin Li eventually returned, Elvis’ presence of a Sanctuary powerhouse would be enough for the Mithril Alliance to gain equal footing with the Tower of Dusk.

However, after listening to the report of his men, Elvis’s heart, which had just been filled with eagerness and excitement, gradually turned cold again. Elvis had a deeper understanding of the terror of a Sanctuary powerhouse than others—precisely because he had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. Elvis could tell from the words of his subordinates that even though he had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, the power of the young president of the Tower of Dusk was not something he could contend with.

In fact, Elvis could even sense that the gap between him and Lin Li did not decrease even though he had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, it seemed to be greater than that of three years ago when he was only at the peak of the Legendary-realm. Elvis believed that Sanctuary powerhouses like him would only end up dying in a battle against Lin Li.

In the eyes of those who had yet to enter the Sanctuary-realm, Sanctuary powerhouses would not vary much in strength. Hence, after Elvis had reached the Sanctuary-realm, the members of the Mithril Alliance began to expect the Mithril Alliance to rise again from the doldrums. Even if the Mithril Alliance could not suppress the Tower of Dusk, they could at least be on par with the Tower of Dusk.

However, after hearing Elvis’s explanation, everyone realized a truth—as long as Lin Li, the young president of the Tower of Dusk, was around, there would never be peace in the Mithril Alliance.

“Okay, don’t pull a long face. I can see that the young president of the Tower of Dusk has ambitions that are far beyond this tiny Breezy Plains. Succumbing to him is not that humiliating for us.” After all, Elvis had become a Sanctuary powerhouse, and his state of mind had changed greatly compared to before.

Although Elvis inevitably felt a little powerless after knowing that there was a horrifying increase in Lin Li’s abilities, he soon got over it. After all, a devil like him would probably appear only once in a blue moon. He ought to be content that he was lucky enough to enter the Sanctuary-realm. If he were to insist on comparing himself to Lin Li, he would only be making things hard for himself.

As for the others of the Mithril Alliance, they were naturally somewhat disappointed. It would be fine if they had never had any expectations, but as soon as they got their hopes up, their hopes were dashed again, and it was simply a torture.

Elvis naturally knew what everyone was thinking, but they could only accept and figure it out themselves slowly. Persuasion alone would not be too effective. However, in order to avoid letting them feel indignant and develop some other thoughts that would create trouble for the Mithril Alliance, he had no choice but to give all of them a stern warning.

At this moment, the other forces of the Breezy Plains were having similar conversations as the Mithril Alliance. As usual, only Sanctuary powerhouses would know how terrifying other Sanctuary powerhouses were. Some of the forces kept a low profile after having a few members become Sanctuary powerhouses.

At the same time, the various forces became more and more respectful towards the Tower of Dusk, thus causing their speed[1] to increase immediately. Within less than 20 days after Lin Li came out of the library, the businesses of the Tower of Dusk had already recovered, and were also developing rapidly.

Lin Li also made use of those few days to modify the gigantic battleship, thus causing the fortress-like battleship to become even more terrifying. With this battleship to patrol the seas, the Gilded Kingdom would be courting death even if they sent another 10 battleships.

After tossing the battleship into the sea, Lin Li welcomed another longtime acquaintance of his, President Hoffman of the Glittergold Trade Union.

Despite the influence of the magic tides, Hoffman had not stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, but his power had also reached the peak of the Legendary-realm, and he was only a step away from the Sanctuary-realm.

In fact, it was a good thing for Hoffman. After all, with the power of the magic tides, he would only be considered to be in the pseudo-Sanctuary-realm, and there would be an obvious difference between him and a Sanctuary powerhouse who had broken through using his true abilities.

Due to the fact that the old president Thomas had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, the Glittergold Trade Union now only needed a Sanctuary powerhouse to take charge for the time being. Hence, Hoffman chose to give up on this route, and continue to strengthen himself so as to enter the Sanctuary-realm based on his own abilities.

Previously, the representatives of various forces gathered at the Tower of Dusk, and due to the fact that Hoffman was in the Dwarf Kingdom, he could not make it back in time. Hence, the Glittergold Trade Union sent Elvan, who was one of the shareholders of the Glittergold Trade Union, to represent them. This time, other than catching up, Hoffman looked for Lin Li to consult him about some things regarding the Sanctuary-realm. He also arrived with plenty of information about the Gilded Kingdom.

The Glittergold Trade Union was one of the top trade unions in Anril, and its business was not only spread throughout the mainland—it had also spread to the Gilded Kingdom. It was safe to say that no other force in Anril would know the Gilded Kingdom better than the Glittergold Trade Union did.

Hoffman’s news first confirmed one of the conjectures that Gavin and the others had made. There was truly an inseparable connection between the Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom. The relationship between the Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom was like that between the Brilliance Shrine and the Ledin Kingdom. The lord of the Illuminati had a lot of control over the Gilded Kingdom, just like the pope of the Brilliance Shrine over the Ledin Kingdom.

The Illuminati was an ancient religion that believed only in one god—the ancient god Zagar. The ancient god Zagar was a deity that had been around since Anril’s establishment. It was also the only true god of Anril who had broken the chaos, given rise to Anril, and created the two strong races, the Wyrms and the Titans.
