Chapter 928: Theft
This time, although there was an accident in the middle, Bingji and Chiyan were in hand, and Lin Li finally gathered seven star fragments in his hands, although purely from the perspective of the increase in combat power, there is not much difference between the seven star fragments and the five, but there are just two more choices. However, the rule power contained in each of these seven star fragments encompasses all the basic rules of the Anriel world, which is not a matter of two more choices for Lin Li.
The seven star fragments, the seven basic rules, the earth, fire, water, scenery, and dark chaos are the seven basic rules that make up the world of Anriel. Although it is not necessary to master all the rules in order to step into the realm of the Holy Realm, there is an incomparably close connection between these seven basic rules, and no one can truly and completely master a rule without severing all the connections alone.
Darkness needs light, light needs the contrast of darkness, and the same is true between other rules, the dark priest Rogge said that the two power sources are transformed into one and the other, and the light pope Rosario's understanding of the dark rules is by no means comparable to ordinary people. Therefore, for Lin Li, no matter what kind of rules he wanted to master to step into the Sacred Domain, it would definitely be of infinite benefit to comprehend and understand the other rules, not only to speed up the pace of stepping into the Sacred Domain, but even to master all the rules to step into the Sacred Domain.
In addition to gathering the seven star fragments, the start of the Ice and Fire Nature Realm should be regarded as a harvest that can significantly increase the strength of the Tower of Dusk. No matter how big the power of the Tower of Dusk grows and how wide the scope of its influence is, the Tower of Dusk located in Dolander is their foundation. As long as the Tower of Dusk stands tall in Doland, then no matter how difficult the problems they encounter, they will have a chance to solve them.
Therefore, when the Tower of Dusk was first established, Lin Li put a lot of effort into it, and has been working hard to make the Tower of Dusk an impregnable fortress since then. He set up a ten-way killing array in the Tower of Dusk, placed a powerful magic crystal cannon, and connected the Eternal Furnace with the Tower of Dusk. It can be said that the Tower of Dusk is constantly strengthened by the forest, even if it is not comparable to the Sky Tower of the Supreme Council, I am afraid it will not be too different.
The only thing that Lin Li regrets is that although the Eternal Forge is the proud work of Osric, it is not a real finished product, and the biggest problem is that it does not have too powerful attack weapons. Although Lin Li purchased a large number of magic crystal cannons and armed the Eternal Forge into a hedgehog, if someone stepped on the Eternal Furnace, no matter how many magic crystal cannons there were.
As for the two undead minions, as well as Conneris and Angelano, although they are a strong force, there is no guarantee that they will always be stationed in the Tower of Dusk. Therefore, Lin Li placed the Blackebon Fortress in the Eternal Crucible, so that those Holy Death Knights could become a force to guard the Tower of Dusk. However, this is not enough, although the Knights of Divine Death are strong, but for now, before they grow into the Knights of Damnation, they will also deliver food to people when they meet the real powerhouses.
And the start of the Ice and Fire Natural Realm can make up for the shortcomings of the Tower of Dusk to a large extent. The Natural Realm of Ice and Fire is not a weapon, and it doesn't even have any attack power, but if you combine the Natural Realm of Ice and Fire with the Eternal Furnace, the benefits are quite terrifying.
No matter how close the Grand Magus claims to be to the Legendary Realm, as long as they don't really take that step, there is a world of difference between them and the Legendary Mage. One of the main reasons for the huge disparity in strength is the comprehension and application of the power of rules. Legendary mages can use the power of rules to create their own magical realm, and with their absolute control of the magical realm, they can become god-like beings in it, which is completely incomparable to the archmage.
However, after combining the natural realm of ice and fire with the Eternal Furnace, the archmages of the Tower of Dusk have their own magical realm in the Eternal Furnace. In other words, these Great Magicians, with the help of the Ice and Fire Natural Realm, their strength will be raised to the level of the Legend level all at once.
Of course, there will still be a certain gap between this and the legendary mages who have truly created their own magic fields, but this gap is not very large, not to mention that the Tower of Dusk still has a numerical advantage. How many great mages are there in the Tower of Dusk now, and there are forty of them brought out by Lin Li alone this time, and there are actually quite a few who have not been chosen. Imagine what it would be like to have a strong enemy break through many obstacles and finally set foot on the ground of the Eternal Furnace, only to find that more than forty legendary mages appeared on the opposite side.
It's an immediate benefit, and the benefits of the natural realm of fire and ice don't stop there.
As a solidified naturally formed magical realm, the rules in the natural realm of ice and fire can be said to be an extremely perfect existence. This is a perfect example for archmages who have begun to comprehend the rules and are ready to step into the realm of legends. The Tower of Dusk now has many great mages at the peak of the nineteenth level, and now that they have the Ice and Fire Natural Realm to help them comprehend the rules, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will step into the legendary realm and become a real legendary mage.
The natural realm of ice and fire has such great benefits, Lin Li naturally didn't want to waste a moment, and after returning to the Tower of Dusk with the team, he immediately went straight to the Eternal Furnace at the top of the tower.
In fact, the most difficult thing in dealing with the Ice and Fire Natural Realm is to take out the Ice Pole and Red Flame, and the other is to bring the Ice and Fire Natural Realm out of the secret room of the underground palace. And these two problems, Lin Li has successfully solved, the magic crystal of the Ice and Fire Double Dragon has replaced the Ice Pole and Red Flame, and has become the new core of the Ice and Fire Nature Domain. At the same time, he took advantage of the inclusive nature of the Dark Throne to temporarily swallow the natural realm of ice and fire into the Dark Throne.
And now all Lin Li has to do is to place the Dark Throne and the Natural Realm of Ice and Fire on top of this eternal furnace. The only thing Lin Li needed to consider was the two cores of the Ice and Fire Natural Realm, if these two cores were directly exposed in the realm like the previous Ice Extreme Red Flame, then it would be too easy for the enemy to destroy this realm.
Lin Li thought twice about it and decided to place the magic crystal of the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons at the core of the Eternal Furnace, which was where the crystal coffin was located. There, even for the magicians of the Tower of Dusk, it is an absolute forbidden area, and even if someone in the Tower of Dusk is bribed by the enemy, it is impossible to go in and destroy it. If someone really broke in, it didn't matter if it was broken or not.
Standing in the square in front of the Eternal Forge Palace, Lin Li slowly chanted a lengthy incantation with an indifferent expression, and the color of the original crimson Eternal Forge gradually became darker and darker, until the crimson was completely covered by darkness, and the Dark Throne descended on the Eternal Furnace.
The side of the world where the Tower of Dusk is located seems to have entered the night directly, and the entire Eternal Crucible and the Tower of Dusk are completely shrouded in darkness. But it didn't last long, and soon the Forge of Eternity was like dawn, and the darkness faded like a tide, and everything seemed to be back to its original state.
However, only Lin Li knew that the Dark Throne had not really left the Eternal Crucible, but had been transformed into another form by him. This was also because Lin Li had comprehended a trace of the mystery of the power of the Holy Domain, and had complete control over the Dark Throne, otherwise it would have been impossible to do so.
After the Dark Throne disappeared, the natural realm of ice and fire gradually revealed, and white snowflakes began to float on the crimson eternal furnace. Instead of melting from the temperature of the Eternal Furnace, the snowflakes fell to the ground, onto the roof of the palace, gilding the crimson building with a silvery coat.
The anomaly of the Eternal Forge naturally aroused all kinds of speculation among those who paid attention to the Tower of Twilight or the forces, but those were not Lin Li's concern. After completing all the work, Lin Li left the Eternal Forge and came to the Tower of Dusk below, and then began to listen to the reports of Gavin and the other leaders.
Since Lin Li had not issued a ban order before, the experience of going out to explore this time had already passed through the mouths of the forty great magicians, and all the magicians of the Tower of Dusk knew about it. The recent series of problems encountered by the Tower of Dusk still made some people's hearts fluctuate, and after hearing the inside story of this expedition, the uneasiness in their hearts immediately disappeared without a trace.
Rodhart ravaged the Plains of the Breeze, a few hundred years ago, and it wasn't very old. Especially as a person in the Plains of the Breeze, the disaster that swept through the Plains of the Breeze is not simply a story. The Death Knights slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps some of whom were ancestors, so they felt the horrors of the Knights of Damnation, Rodhart, and the Death Knights far more deeply than the rest of the world.
His own elder actually killed that demon god-like knight of damnation, who was a true Sanctuary-level powerhouse, close to the terrifying existence of a god. So now, what is the problem encountered by the Tower of Dusk? In this Light Wind Plain, no matter how powerful an opponent is, can he still compare to that terrifying Knight of Damnation? Magicians are known as a group of people who have no faith, but at this time, the magicians of the Tower of Dusk seem to have a pious faith in their eyes.
Today's Tower of Dusk is far from being comparable to two or three years ago, and the two main businesses of potions and forging cannot be said to be all over the Anriel world, but at least they occupy a certain market share in the two major human kingdoms of France and Ryding. And the Tower of Dusk has developed to such a scale, naturally it is impossible for only Gavin and Boleka to manage it. Therefore, sitting in the conference hall at this time, in addition to Gavin and Bolekka, there are five magicians who are in charge of various aspects, including Elan, who has just stepped into the legendary realm, and should be regarded as the upper level of the Tower of Dusk at present.
"Elder, we haven't investigated Cassano's whereabouts yet, but the forging drawings and potion recipes he stole have recently appeared on the market in large quantities, and the price is almost one-fifth of ours. Regardless of who produced it, this is definitely a loss-making price, and the intent against us is very obvious. Gavin said with a guilty face.
Although the management of the Tower of Twilight has expanded, Gavin is still the chief director, overseeing all aspects of the Tower of Twilight. Therefore, although there are others in charge of the membership review, Cassano is the betrayer and has also stolen the secrets of the Tower of Twilight, and Gavin does have an unshirkable responsibility.
However, Lin Li didn't intend to be held accountable now, waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about Cassano, I also have some impressions of this person, he has a good talent and is also very diligent. ”
"Cassano is a native of Roland, and is also known as a local genius, joined the Tower of Dusk two years ago, is very talented in learning magic, and is usually very modest, and the popularity here is quite good. Because his strength has improved rapidly, and he is also keen to complete the tasks of the union, his contribution has also increased rapidly, and he has gained considerable authority by virtue of his contribution...... "Since he has been investigating Cassano recently, when he heard Lin Li ask, Gavin told everything about Cassano almost without thinking.
"Elder, I don't think Cassano's betrayal was an accident. This incident exposes a considerable flaw hidden in the seemingly fair contribution system we now adopt. A person's ability is important, but if he is of poor moral character, the greater his ability, the greater the damage he will cause. "The one who spoke was a middle-aged magician named Sith, although he had only joined the Tower of Twilight for more than a year, but with his strong management skills, he quickly became a member of the management of the Tower of Twilight.
Sith's words seem to make a lot of sense, but how could Lin Li not hear it, this is actually more of a challenge to Gavin's status, after all, the contribution system of the Tower of Dusk was established by Gavin. However, Lin Li didn't care about this, for a force, this kind of power competition is not uncommon, and it is impossible to completely prohibit it. There is no development without competition, if everyone in the Tower of Twilight has no desires, then what development is there in the Tower of Twilight, and of course Lin Li will not allow those dirty means to appear in the competition.
"Virtue cannot be seen or touched, how can it be used as a criterion, before Cassano's betrayal, did anyone doubt that there was a problem with his character? Even now, there are still many magicians who don't believe that Cassano would betray him. As a group of veterans of the Tower of Twilight, Bereka naturally preferred Gavin, and immediately refuted the Sith's words.
