Another World's Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 1061: Evil Dragon

They knew very well that for true Sanctuary powerhouses, those people under the Sanctuary-realm were truly insignificant mobs. For example, when Rodhart ravaged the Breezy Plains, the Ashen Warlock could stop him. However, he did not take action at all, because no matter how many people died in the Breezy Plains, they were insignificant ants who were not worth the effort in the eyes of the Ashen Warlock.

Hence, after receiving the news that Lin Li had agreed to help the Gilded Kingdom, Elvis did not believe that Lin Li was helping others out of kindness, nor did he think that he was compassionate. They believed that the only real reason was that there was definitely something on Cage Island that was attractive enough to entice him, a Sanctuary powerhouse.

“Master Felic, could it be that you know something about Cage Island?” Elvis asked cautiously. Despite being well aware that even if there was really something impressive on Cage Island, he didn’t seem strong enough to compete with the Tower of Dusk or the Gilded Kingdom, he still couldn’t help but be a little curious.

However, Lin Li shook his head, and said, “You have to ask the people of Gilded Kingdom what exactly there is under Cage Island. However, I have to remind you about something. You should all know very well about the legend of Cage Island. There has been peace on Cage Island for so many years, but there is such a huge uproar this time. Maybe the legend is not just a legend.”

“Master Felic, are you trying to say that an ancient evil dragon has really been imprisoned under Cage Island?” Lin Li’s words made Elvis and the others a little surprised. After all, in the opinion of ordinary people, legends were unreliable.

“Be it an ancient evil dragon or anything, Cage Island has existed in the Breezy Plains for a long time. No one can deduce exactly how long it has been since its appearance, and it seems that it has existed before the Dark Age. Since that thing on Cage Island can exist for such a long period of time, it definitely isn’t simple. Maybe it’s a powerful existence that’s at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. Once that thing breaks free, I’m afraid that the entire Breezy Plains will be destroyed.” Lin Li did not give them a definite answer, and merely analyzed things based on the current situation.

In fact, what Lin Li said was almost the same as the reasons that Cantory had used to persuade the representatives of the various forces previously. Although Elvis and the others did not believe Cantory, because he represented the Gilded Kingdom, they could not ignore Lin Li’s words.

Hence, after hearing Lin Li’s words, Elvis and the others did not doubt their validity. Their expressions immediately changed. What truly shocked them was not the idea of the Breezy Plains possibly being destroyed, but the words “peak of the Sanctuary-realm”.

Different people had different ideas about destruction. For ordinary people, destruction might be a horrible disaster, but for Elvis and others who belonged to ancient forces with rich heritages, it was probably considered nothing. For instance, when the Retribution Knight Rodhart ravaged the Breezy Plains, the Mithril Alliance and other forces persevered even though nearly half of the population of the Breezy Plains perished.

However, when Lin Li mentioned the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, they thought of a synonym for it, which was a ‘demigod’, appeared in their minds. It meant something only half a step away from becoming a true god. If the unknown existence trapped on the Cage Island really had the terrifying strength of the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, not only would the Breezy Plains be destroyed, the factions would definitely face a huge destruction too. That was a true annihilation, and even Elvis and the other pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses probably wouldn’t be able to save their own lives.

“The peak of the Sanctuary-realm!” Elvis and the others swallowed their saliva and looked at Lin Li, their faces as pale as a sheet. It seemed that they were hoping that Lin Li was only joking about what he had just said.

However, Lin Li did not let them have their wishes fulfilled. Instead, he continued, “You should know that nothing in this world is immortal, let alone a seal that traps such a powerful existence. The people of the Gilded Kingdom should have only touched the seal in advance to trigger the awakening of the existence that’s been imprisoned. Besides, this is an opportunity for us. Otherwise, when that thing comes out of Cage Island, we will no longer have an opportunity.”

“In that case, we really can’t just stand by and watch. If we really let that thing escape, we will be doomed. The people of the Gilded Kingdom can flee back to the sea, but we, the forces of the Breezy Plains, will be in trouble.” Elvis and the others were obviously all persuaded by Lin Li’s words.

“Yes. It may seem like we are helping the Gilded Kingdom now, but from another perspective, the Gilded Kingdom is actually helping us suppress that unknown existence. Hence, we are actually in the same boat as the Gilded Kingdom in this regard.” Lin Li’s idea was rather simple: the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Regardless of the relationship between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk, they at least shared a common goal in this matter regarding Cage Island.

However, Lin Li did not tell Elvis and the others everything, and he actually left out an important point—he found the aura of Cage Island very familiar. That was the reason that he was sure that the legend about Cage Island was not fabricated. He had a hunch that the ancient dragon hidden below the seal was one he knew.

After Lin Li talked to Elvis and others, the hidden powerhouses of various forces also arrived in Rafa City one after another. Some of them had not appeared for hundreds to thousands of years, and the outsiders even thought that they had already died countless years ago. They didn’t expect all of them to come out this time.

When almost everyone had arrived, the people once again gathered in the conference hall. Among them, more than 10 of them were pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, and there were only 20-30 Legendary powerhouses left. Although the number of people had decreased greatly, not every force had a competent powerhouse. However, it caused the conference hall to be filled with an unprecedented frightening aura.

Even Cantory, who had always been arrogant, couldn’t help but be secretly surprised when he saw the forces bringing out their manpower all of a sudden. Of course, the surprise only lasted for a moment, and Cantory knew that the Breezy Plains was like a grain of rice. Although there were many powerhouses, they would not be able to contend with the Gilded Kingdom unless they united.

“Okay, Envoy Cantory, those who should come have already arrived. You ought to give us a detailed introduction too.” Although Lin Li was casually sitting on a seat in the conference hall, it made them feel that the powerhouses present vaguely saw him as their leader.

Looking at the various powerhouses who were seated, Cantory knew that he had reached the last stage of his mission. As long as the information he gave was satisfactory to them, he would succeed in obtaining help. However, he was not a clueless brat, and naturally wouldn’t reveal to them all the information that he knew.

“I know that there has always been a legend about Cage Island in the Breezy Plains. Besides, I’m going to tell you now that a legend is not just a legend,” Cantory said after weighing the pros and cons.

Cantory’s words had undoubtedly verified Lin Li’s previous speculation, and caused their faces to turn slightly pale. The crowd, including those who had been in the Sanctuary-realm for numerous years, couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear when they thought that they had actually been neighbors with a terrifying existence that was a demigod.

However, not everyone believed Cantory. After all, only a few people such as Elvis had heard Lin Li’s previous conjectures, and they finally believed that it was true after tallying both statements. Most of them naturally didn’t believe it, since it was their first time hearing of it.

Hence, after being shocked for a while, someone immediately came forth to question Cantory. He said, “I don’t want to call this a warning, but Cage Island is in the Breezy Plains, and has existed for numerous years. We all know how bizarre it is, but we have never confirmed the legend that the ancient dragon trapped on the island is purely a legend. The Gilded Kingdom is far away. Could it be that they know more about the Cage Island than we do?”

The arrogant Cantory’s face immediately turned sullen after having his conjecture being doubted. However, thinking that this group of people in front of him would be the key to helping the Gilded Kingdom retreat unscathed, he had no choice but to suppress his feelings. He then explained to everyone, “It’s coincidental that we could grasp the situation of Cage Island. This dates back to the beginning of the Gilded Kingdom.”

The Gilded Kingdom was established before the Dark Age by a group of people who had traveled all the way from Anril. Back then, the one who led them overseas to build their home on the seaside island was Sabur who was known as a Great Sage.

Legend had it that Sabur was once a noble leader of a place called Toron Kingdom in the southern coastal region of the Felan Kingdom. Actually, he had already seen the change of the situation in Anril a long time ago. He knew that the High Elves would become the rulers of the continent one day. In fact, he could even foresee the High Elves subjecting the various forces that they dominated to cruel means.

Hence, Sabur led his citizens who were willing to follow him to create dozens of gigantic battleships to avoid the impending battle. Of course, it was not that easy to brave the Endless Ocean, and their journey was not always smooth sailing, either. If not for Sabur’s foresight, the dozens of battleships would’ve been either overturned in the storm or ripped apart by the massive beasts.

Even then, when Sabur’s fleet reached the first island that was suitable for survival and development, half of the fleet had already sunk to the bottom of the Endless Ocean, and those who were fortunate enough to have survived began to build their own homes on the island under Sabur’s lead. During the construction, Sabur also led the fleet back and forth between the island and the mainland countless times to transport a large number of people to the island.

Hence, during the Dark Age, there were two places on the mainland that people were most eager to visit: one was the Rotterdam Kingdom which had gentler administration, while the other was the Gilded Kingdom, which was known as a pure land.

With the influx of people, the Great Sage Sabur began organizing some powerful people, and established a team to expand their living space to the surrounding islands. While discovering new lands, they discovered that the islands that were originally thought to have never been visited by anyone actually contained many relics left from the ancient times. The Gilded Kingdom’s alchemy technology was obtained from several relics of goblins.

The information about Cage Island that they had was also obtained during the discovery of new islands. Sabur led the team to a place that seemed to contain Titan relics, and obtained a map that led to Cage Island in the Breezy Plains. At the same time, a document that was found along with the map allowed them to discover that what was sealed under Cage Island was none other than a powerful ancient evil dragon.

“Map? Envoy Cantory, I wonder if you can take out that map and let us take a look at it. After all, you were the one who said those things, and we can’t tell if it’s the truth. Hence, it’d be better if you can give us some evidence.” The person who questioned Cantory just now suddenly interrupted Cantory, and requested to see that map. The rest immediately supported the notion.

If it was just an ancient evil dragon, would the Gilded Kingdom have to come all the way from overseas? Anyway, if the ancient evil dragon had really broken free from the seal, the Breezy Plains would be in danger, not the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, the people of the forces wanted to know the real agenda of the Gilded Kingdom. In that case, the map would be a great clue.

Why is it him again!? There was some anger in Cantory’s gaze, and he looked in the direction where the voice came from. The person who spoke was actually just an elder who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and who came from an insignificant family. Usually, Cantory would not bother dealing with such people, but now he had to bear with it and suppress his anger.

“I’m sorry, but the original copy of this map is too precious, and is now being stored in the treasury of the royal family. I have the copy of the map. If you don’t mind, you may have a look.” As Cantory spoke, he took out a map that looked rather new from the space ring on his finger.
