Another World's Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 1101: Thunderstorm

Onor had a rich understanding of the human race. Although the human race had a huge population, it was still an impressive feat for a human to become a Legendary powerhouse, what more a Sanctuary powerhouse. However, a living human Sanctuary powerhouse had now appeared in front of him. Even though Onor could not tell what level Lin Li had reached, it was enough to change his impression of the human race.

Lin Li smiled faintly, and calmly said, “It doesn’t matter who I am, you just have to answer my questions. I think you should be smart enough to tell that I should be the one asking that question.”

Lin Li’s smile was benevolent and his voice was gentle, but it gave Onor the chills. Although Onor utterly despised the human race, he had to admit that the human race had the advantage of being very imaginative and creative. The reason that he had that thought and even got the chills because of it was that he had seen the various imaginative torture methods that his human subordinates had used when interrogating prisoners.

Onor couldn’t imagine the agony that one’s mind, soul, and body would suffer when subjected to those torture methods. Over the numerous years, none of the fierce pirates or aggressive orcs dared to refuse to succumb to Onor’s human subordinates after being tortured. They even came clean about the times when they wet their beds while sleeping.

Besides, the thing that stuck with Onor the most was the innocent smiles that his subordinates would have when interrogating the prisoners. That was even more sinister and terrifying. When they were torturing others badly with such a smile on their faces, their subjects of torture would immediately reveal everything without further interrogation.

When watching his enemies or prisoners wailing desperately while being tortured, Onor honestly felt somewhat thrilled. However, he had now landed in the hands of a human. Thinking about the brutal means of torture that he might be subjected to in the future, Onor felt like crying loudly.

“What do you want to find out? I’m just doing a routine inspection of the ships that come and go. If that’s offensive to you in any way, just take it that I’m performing my duty. If you let me go now, I can pretend that this matter had never happened, or else your behavior will be equivalent to going against the Sea Clan,” Onor stammered, trying to control his shivering body. He could no longer care about his image now. Anyway, none of his subordinates were on the deck, and nothing was more important than his life. Besides, death was not the most terrifying part about it. The most terrifying part was wanting to die but not being able to.

Lin Li was surprised by Onor’s reaction. Legend had it that the Sea Clan was just as arrogant as the High Elves. Why did he behave like people without a backbone at this moment? Of course, Lin Li didn’t know that Onor felt that humans had a terrifying creative ability and imagination despite being talentless, and so he saw humans as demons.

However, Lin Li did not have time to consider why Onor of the Sea Clan would behave that way. Instead, he took out the Life Commendation potion, and said, “You’re performing your duties and conducting a routine check? Lord Onor, I reckon you’re here for this thing.”

Onor was cowering at first, but when he saw Lin Li taking out the Life Commendation potion, he was immediately attracted to it as he stared at it like a hungry beast. After staring at it for a long time, he looked away reluctantly. Swallowing some saliva, he said, “How is that possible? We’re really just doing a routine check.”

Lin Li proceeded to take out the Life Commendation potion, and shook it as if he hadn’t heard Onor’s words. The emerald green potion was glistening alluringly under the sunlight. Lin Li said, “The Life Commendation potion should be of great use to you. If you answer my questions honestly and satisfy me, I’ll have no qualms about giving this potion to you.”

What!? He’s going to give it to me!? Onor’s eyes were wide open. Lin Li had spent 10 Legendary magical crystals on the Life Commendation potion, and yet he was giving it away just like that. However, he soon thought of the key point of Lin Li’s words. A question that was worth 10 Legendary magical crystals definitely wouldn’t be simple.

Besides, since Onor had managed to reach the position of being in charge of all sea trade, he definitely wasn’t a fool. He immediately thought that it was more likely than not that Lin Li had bought Life Commendation for the sake of luring him in. In that case, Lin Li was exploiting either the fact that he was the head of the sea trade or his identity as a member of the Sea Clan. If Lin Li merely asked about the sea trade, it would be fine for him to tell him everything, but if he asked about the Sea Clan...

However, the temptation of the Life Commendation potion was too huge. Onor even forgot about the predicament that he was in now as he eagerly said, “Are you being serious? Will you really give the Life Commendation potion to me?”

“Of course, it’s just a Life Commendation potion. It means nothing to me.” As Lin Li spoke, he tossed the potion bottle up and down very casually. He didn’t act like he was holding a treasure worth 10 Legendary magical crystals at all.

However, Onor was incredibly tense and nervous. Despite knowing that Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, he was still worried that Lin Li might accidentally ruin the Life Commendation potion.

Resisting the urge to dash forward and snatch the Life Commendation potion, Onor frantically said, “Okay, okay, what do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything as long as I know.”

“Do you know about Geresco?” Lin Li didn’t beat around the bush with Onor, and instead asked the question that he was the most concerned about right away. He felt that since Geresco had created such a world, there would definitely be something here that was related to Geresco. Currently, the Sea Clan, which had long vanished in history, seemed to be the most likely to be related to Geresco.

However, when he heard Lin Li mentioning Geresco’s name, Onor said carefully with a look of disdain, “I’m sorry, but I don’t remember the names of humans. Can you go more into detail about it? For example, his occupation, his age, and his looks...”

Onor’s words were like a wet blanket to Lin Li, who wondered, Am I really wrong? Geresco is the God of Mages who is on the same level as the Immortal King in Anril. With Geresco’s strength, how can the Sea Clan not know about him if he had any connection with them!?

“You don’t know who Geresco is?” Lin Li asked again, emphasizing Geresco’s name in the ancient common language used by the Sea Clan.

I want to know too! Staring at the Life Commendation potion in Lin Li’s hand, Onor shook his head vigorously. He wanted to make something up, but he didn’t know what Lin Li was talking about. If he said something wrong, he would not only fail to get Life Commendation, he might even anger Lin Li.

Just as Lin Li was feeling disappointed about Onor’s answer, he suddenly thought of a problem that he had overlooked, and that was the era that they were in now. Lin Li reckoned that it should still be the middle of the Dark Age, and according to the history of the real Anril, it seemed that Geresco hadn’t been born yet.

Could it be that the world he came to was not created by Geresco, but he was really sent to that era of Anril? After all, even if Geresco hadn’t been born yet in that era, Geresco should have left some clues if this world was created by him.

Maybe what Geresco left behind was not in his name? Lin Li could only make a Hail Mary effort and ask Onor, “In this case, is there a god that you believe in? Tell me all that you know about the gods you believe in.”

Indeed, a Sanctuary powerhouse would be the only god of the world he created. Hence, if Geresco created that world, he might not use his real name. In fact, he might be regarded as some kind of creator or god by the people in this world.

“Gods?” Onor looked at Lin Li in bewilderment. Everyone knew that the Sea Clan believed in the sea god Neptune. If Lin Li was just an ordinary person on the mainland, he might really be unaware of it, but he was a Sanctuary powerhouse, so how could he be so uninformed?

However, regardless of what he thought, Onor had no choice but to answer obediently for the sake of the Life Commendation potion. “We the Sea Clan worship the mighty sea god Neptune, who created this Endless Ocean and our Sea Clan.”

Neptune the sea god? As soon as Lin Li heard it, he knew that this sea god must have nothing to do with Geresco, because in the mythology of Anril, there was such a god too. Besides, almost all of those who lived on sea would have to worship the sea god Neptune to pray for a smooth journey.

That left Lin Li helpless. Clearly, he would never be able to find out about Geresco from Onor. He tossed the Life Commendation potion, and helplessly said, “Okay, according to our pact, this potion—”

Just when Lin Li was about to give the Life Commendation to Onor, a huge change in the sea suddenly happened. The turquoise blue sky became dark in the blink of an eye as it was covered in thick, gloomy clouds that were rolling continuously as if they were about to press onto the sea. Among the dark clouds, countless serpentine lightning bolts jumped and bounced about wildly, while thunder rumbled and made the space quake. It was as if the entire sky was going to collapse.

At the same time, the magic elements in this space had also started raging, and a massive, suffocating elemental storm was launched in the air above the sea. They could even see the sparks that erupted from the collision between the magical elements that made the dim space light up with their naked eyes.

“What’s going on? How can there be a storm here!?” Onor exclaimed as he observed his surroundings. Cage Island was located in a crescent-shaped bay the storms rarely reached. Hence, it had become a fairly famous sea market. However, a storm had now descended out of nowhere. How could Onor not be surprised?

However, Onor soon realized that it was not a simple storm, because an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly seeped out from the rolling black clouds, causing Onor, whose mana was restrained in his body, to fall onto the ground, completely motionless and unable to move a single finger. If not for the fact that his mental strength was greater than ordinary people, he would have probably lost his mind.

Lin Li’s attention had long been attracted by the strange situation in the sky. Although he was already a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, he could still sense the massive pressure coming from the sky. However, what really caught Lin Li’s attention was not the great pressure, but the aura that seemed familiar to him.

However, Lin Li was certain that the aura that seemed familiar to him definitely did not come from Geresco, because it was an aura that contained Death and Destruction.

At this point, the dark clouds in the sky had already turned as dark as ink, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate through them. Hence, the day seemed to have turned into nighttime. The countless jumping bolts of lightning amidst the clouds seemed to be becoming more intense amidst the collision and fusion. Finally, they landed with a deafening roar.

Each bolt of lightning contained terrifying power that was not lower than the Legendary-level. When they landed on the surface of the sea, it formed a huge and deep pit in the blink of an eye. Under the surface of the sea, the sea reefs were also instantly crushed into ashes. There would probably be a terrifying change in the sea after the disaster.

Of course, under such circumstances, Cage Island and the prosperous sea city would not be able to escape their doom, either. However, the results of the operation of the various forces, especially the Sea Clan, could be seen at this juncture.

When the first wave of lightning fell, rays of colorful light rose to form a magic shield. There was a magic shield for each store and street.
