Chapter 1204 - Demon Gordon Advances

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

However, just as Lin Li was about to start studying that Divine-Smith-level mageweath, one of his subordinates suddenly reported at the door that there was a gift for him.

Lin Li opened the door, and saw that it was a mage from the Mage Legion who was holding a box with both hands. Hence, he asked, “Jason, is this the gift? Where is the person who sent the gift?”

​ 

“President, the one who sent the gift is a commoner from the Gilded Kingdom who claimed that someone had sent him to give you the gift on their behalf. He didn’t reveal any more information,” the mage Jason said with curiosity written all over his face.

People would often want their intended recipients to know that they were the senders of the gifts. Why would this person send it anonymously? Could it be that the gift is not a gift, but something provocative?

Lin Li frowned slightly. After taking the box, he said to Jason, “Okay, I get it, you go ahead.”

“Yes, President,” Jason answered, and bowed respectfully before excusing himself.

Lin Li took the box back to the room, and placed it on the table, but he did not open it immediately. The first thing that came to his mind was that there was a bomb in the box. He had seen lots of news of such incidents in his previous life before he transmigrated. However, on second thought, he realized that given the level he was at now, there weren’t any bombs that could pose a threat to him.

In this case, could it be a provocative package sent by someone else? For example, did they capture someone from the Tower of Dusk and cut off his ear or finger, or decapitate him and send his head here? That was actually quite a common thing even in Anril as it was a common trick used by the bandits when they kidnapped someone or wanted to take revenge.

Lin Li did not bother to think any further, and simply opened the box to reveal the contents immediately. When Lin Li saw the item, he vaguely guessed who the sender of the gift was. There were some crystal boxes that were arranged neatly in the box, with some Blood of the Sea God that he had bought today.

There were a total of 16 crystal boxes in the box, each of which contained about 40 grams of the Blood of the Sea God. Although it was not a rare thing, the Octopus Clan was probably the only ones who could take so many out at once. Cantory and Harquess of the Octopus Clan were the only ones who knew that he had bought the Blood of the Sea God at the market. Cantory definitely wouldn’t give him a gift, so Harquess was the only possibility left.

In fact, just as Lin Li guessed, Harquess was the one who sent the Blood of the Sea God. However, although Harquess knew that Lin Li had extremely high attainments in inscription, he still couldn’t bring himself to swallow his pride and face Lin Li directly. Still, the grand elder insisted that he apologize to Lin Li, so he came up with such a solution. He thought that the gifts should count as an apology, and he would be able to answer to the grand elder while saving himself some embarrassment.

However, Harquess didn’t expect that Lin Li didn’t even take the incident at the market seriously. If Harquess had really come to apologize or build friendly relations with him, Lin Li wouldn’t have bothered to make things difficult for him or face him with a hostile attitude. Unfortunately, Harquess projected his own shortcomings on orders, and missed the chance to get close to Lin Li.

Lin Li bought the Blood of the Sea God just to help Gordon advance in level. Besides, Gordon’s abilities had been increased greatly after devouring the Blood of the Sea God too, so he naturally didn’t need the Blood of the Sea God anymore. Moreover, he could formulate ink that was of better quality for the mageweaths that he drew. Hence, he didn’t need the Blood of the Sea God, so he tossed it to a certain corner.

Lin Li then proceeded to focus all his attention on studying the Divine-Smith-level mageweath again. This time, Lin Li’s understanding of the mageweath had also grown deeper. He was advancing beyond just theoretical analysis, and had gradually begun putting theory into practice. After all, theoretical analysis was just theory, and only through practice could one gain a deeper understanding of the theory, and verify if there were any deviations from the theory.

This time, the embassy of the Tower of Dusk was basically closed to visitors. Even people like Englos of the Brilliance Shrine and Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, who both had a good relationship with Lin Li, were denied entry a few times too. The Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati began to send people to visit Lin Li and establish friendly relations every other day, but they had no choice but to give up.

In the embassy, Lin Li barely took a step out of the room, and whenever he did, it would only be for the sake of disposing of a large number of discarded mageweaths every day. Although only a small amount of ink was used during the creation of mageweaths, the magic materials used to prepare the magical ink were rare and expensive materials that were sold by the gram.

The vast amount of mageweaths that Lin Li discarded every day was enough to bury a person, and the consumption of magical ink was really terrifying. If converted into gold coins, the amount spent each day was probably enough to make a small country go bankrupt.

At the same time, there would often be frightening roars coming from Lin Li’s room that would make the entire embassy tremble a few times. Fortunately, Lin Li had set up defensive mageweaths in his room. Otherwise, not to mention his room, the entire embassy area would probably have been razed to the ground because of the impact.

The commotion frightened everyone in the embassy area, and many emissaries of the forces even moved out of the embassy area as if they were taking refuge. Of course, even if they weren’t scared, they probably couldn’t continue staying there anymore. Who would be able to rest in peace amidst the commotion?

Just like that, time passed day after day, and the people in the Embassy of the Tower of Dusk also gradually calmed down. When everyone thought that things were finally going to pass, a dazzling ray of light suddenly emerged from one of the rooms in the Tower of Dusk’s embassy. As the ray of light lit up, the entire embassy also became somewhat transparent under the light, as if it had turned into a crystal building all of a sudden.

However, the phenomenon happened only for a moment, and it didn’t attract much attention. After all, most people in the embassy area had long moved out to get some peace. After the phenomenon vanished, the door to Lin Li’s room in the embassy of the Tower of Dusk finally opened again.

“President!”

The mages of the Tower of Dusk’s Mage Legion knew that Lin Li had to have reached a critical moment in the matter that he was working on when they sensed the phenomena. Hence, under the organization of Dorick, the deputy head, they all guarded outside Lin Li’s room to prevent anyone from going in to disturb Lin Li.

Lin Li walked out of the room and nodded at everyone before tossing a scroll in his hand to Dorick. “Take this scroll to the people of the Gilded Kingdom, and take part in the auction they said they would attend.”

Dorick took the scroll, but he didn’t dare to open it to take a look. Instead, he bowed to Lin Li respectfully, and said, “Yes, President, I’ll get right on it. During this period of time, Archbishop Englos of the Brilliance Shrine, High Priest Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, Elder Zumar of the Illuminati, as well as Foreign Affairs Minister Jefferson of the Gilded Kingdom have all visited.”

“Okay, got it,” Lin Li said before turning around to return to his room. However, this time he started to rest instead of studying anything. He consumed more than just money this time as his mental strength was almost reaching the point of overburdening it. Fortunately, there were finally some results in his research, and the scroll that Dorick brought to the auction should be considered one of the results of his research during this period of time.

However, Lin Li was well aware that he was far from figuring out the Divine-Smith-level mageweath thoroughly. The gains he had made today were considered small, and if he wanted to reach the Divine-Smith-level, he would probably have to put in millions of times more effort to do so.

Lin Li knew very well that he could not study the Divine-Smith-level mageweath thoroughly in a short time. He had completed a stage of research and gained corresponding knowledge. However, if he wanted to gain more, he would probably have to put in hundreds of times more effort and time. If he had enough time, he could stay in seclusion for a couple of hundred years, and maybe master the Divine-Smith-level mageweath. However, he didn’t have that much time, and there were lots of things for him to handle.

In particular, the calamity that Geresco had predicted to appear together with the unprecedented magic tides. God knew how long the barrier of laws of Anril could be sustained. Perhaps in a day, or in a year, the prehistoric magical beasts that had been driven into the spacetime rift at the beginning might descend, and bring the world to its doom again.

Although it was said that once one had mastered that Divine-Smith-level mageweath, it would be possible to reach the Divine-Smith-realm, that still seemed too far away, after all. Therefore, Lin Li couldn’t really put down everything and concentrate on that Divine-Smith-level mageweath. If he were to bet everything on such an uncertain chance, it would definitely be the most foolish act. If disaster struck in the end, and he could not obtain more power from the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, he would have already wasted the other opportunities he had to improve his strength. It would really be a huge double loss then.

Besides, he also had to strike a balance between work and rest. If he wanted to go into seclusion and study the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, he could just go back to the Tower of Dusk and do so. There was no point in doing so in the Gilded Kingdom. It was just like going on a trip to a scenic spot, but staying in the hotel for two days instead of enjoying the scenery. The trip would be pointless then.

Hence, after Lin Li wrote all the knowledge he gained in the past few days on the scroll, he put the Divine-Smith-level mageweath away too. Anyway, he could study it anytime since it was with him. However, the Sea Market was about to open soon, and it would be a pity if he missed it.

However, Lin Li was not going alone this time. Instead, he took Connoris and Angelano along with him. Although Lin Li had a lot of knowledge in his head, especially the knowledge of the game world from before he transmigrated, he did not dare to claim himself to be omniscient, and he might not be able to see through everything at a glance. Since it was said that the precious and exotic treasures of Anril were all gathered at the Sea Market, Lin Li could not guarantee that he wouldn’t make any blunders at all. Hence, it was necessary to bring some helpers.

However, Lin Li could draw some parallels with the world that he lived in before he transmigrated; hence, he knew the value of those items. There were some things that he could not understand through that method. No matter what, Connoris was an ancient demon deity who had lived for tens of millions of years, so he was naturally very knowledgeable. In particular, his understanding of Anril was probably much clearer than that of Lin Li.

Angelano’s knowledge was naturally inferior to that of Connoris, but his purpose in going to the Sea Market was mainly to find some materials that could increase the combat power of his Alchemy Colossus. It wasn’t that Angelano suddenly wanted to work hard; at the end of the day, he was just timid.

Angelano now knew that the enemies that Lin Li met were stronger and stronger. Besides, it was getting harder and harder for him to survive in those Sanctuary-level battles by virtue of only his Alchemy Colossus. He wanted to hide and stay far from the danger, but he couldn’t hide forever.

Angelano’s Alchemy Colossus was a Titan-level Alchemy Colossus, and its strength was definitely at the peak of the Legendary-level. However, it was the end of it. Others could rely on their own efforts to reach a higher realm, but Alchemy Colossuses were inanimate, so how could they grow stronger?

Hence, there was only one way to improve the strength of the Alchemy Colossus. For example, he could get more advanced materials for the accessories, or have a more powerful weapon system. However, he could not change those things so easily, especially as the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus was considered to be at the peak of Alchemy Colossuses. He had used all the best materials, and changing was not a simple matter.

The reason that Angelano came out together with them was that he hoped that he could find more precious materials to modify his Alchemy Colossus. Of course, the rare materials that could increase the combat power of the Alchemy Colossus were definitely extremely expensive. However, that was not a problem that he had to consider. Anyway, the Tower of Dusk was really rich in his opinion.

Lin Li took both of them from the embassy of the Tower of Dusk, and the first thing they did was to go straight to the market known as the Gift of the Sea. Although Lin Li had already been there a few days ago, it had been mainly to purchase some materials for formulating magical ink, so he hadn’t wasted time looking at the other things. The Gift of the Sea in Hopra City was considered the largest market, and one would not be able to browse through all the stores and stalls in such a short period of time.

However, before Lin Li even reached the Gift of the Sea, he began to feel regret, mainly because the coward, Angelano, decided to put on his colorful and funny-looking armor even though they were just going to shop at the market. He was truly attracting lots of attention along the way. However, Angelano did not have the slightest bit of self-awareness at all as he kept yelling loudly along the way, and even whistled at some ladies. Lin Li truly felt embarrassed.
