“I… I should have thought of it earlier. At Doland, it isn’t surprising to recruit pharmacists with such abilities! Tower of Dusk, Guild of Magic…” Sienna was at a loss for words. Although he had worked with Lin Li once, Lin Li didn’t mention anything about the Tower of Dusk, and said little about the Guild of Magic. Sienna didn’t take this to heart, since it was common for mages to mention the Guild of Magic. However, how could he not think of the Guild of Magic after knowing Lin Li’s abilities?
“Did we talk about pharmacists just now…” Charles’ voice was obviously shaking. He still couldn’t believe that the one who stood in front of him was the owner of the Tower of Dusk, President of the Guild of Magic and the mastermind behind recruiting so many pharmacists…
“Yes!” Sienna nodded stiffly. His tone was rather sympathetic, and he said, “You even said that the Tower of Dusk won’t be happy for long, and asked why I didn’t join in poaching.”
Charles’ face turned pale. He seemed to be inches shorter. He replied, “Yes, you also asked me how to please the pharmacists, saying you were preparing to give it a try.”
“…” Sienna looked afar and forced himself to stay composed. He said, “I know that a big shot like Mage Felic wouldn’t mind my words, since he had even forgiven your rudeness.”
Upon leaving the Seven Leaf Gra.s.s, Lin Li wasn’t interested in walking around Roland City anymore, so he brought Wilkinson and other companions back home. This wasn’t because that manager of the Seven Leaf Gra.s.s had ruined his mood, but because Roland City was rather dull in the eyes of Lin Li. Though this world was considered bustling, it was nothing compared to the metropolis Lin Li had seen before.
Back at the luxurious castle, those extremely bored pharmacists crowded around curiously upon seeing Lin Li’s return. Of course, they didn’t dare to waste Lin Li’s time, so they bombarded Wilkinson with questions.
Lin Li returned to his room and reminded the Undead servants not to let anyone disturb him. He then closed the door and started doing what he had always done at the Tower of Dusk—he retrieved the Book of Eternity that Geresco had left behind from the Ring of Endless Storm and read it attentively.
The greatest gain from the trip deep into the Abyss of Tharlen in the Blackstone Mountains was not the Throne of Darkness, but rather the three items left behind by the late Geresco Lin Li had gotten from Tutankhamun: a key, a magical crystal, and a book. It was hard to say which of the three items was more valuable, but any one of them was more valuable than the Throne of Darkness.
The key was for opening the seventh Sky Castle of the High Elves. n.o.body knew how Geresco had gotten hold of it, but no doubt the absence of the seventh Sky Castle during the war had played an important role in ending the Dark Age. Maybe the power of the missing seventh Sky Castle was still a mystery for most people, but Lin Li clearly understood how terrifying it was because he possessed a blueprint of a Sky Castle.
From this Sky Castle blueprint, Lin Li had a clear idea of how powerful a Sky Castle was despite never experiencing the Dark Age and seeing a Sky Castle himself. Compared to the Sky Castle, the Eternal Furnace that Highlord Osric had built was like a child’s toy.
Although Lin Li planned to follow Connoris’ suggestion and integrate the Throne of Darkness with the Eternal Furnace, its power was still limited and incomparable to the powerful seventh Sky Castle’s. However, Lin Li was quite eager to know what it would be like after the natural Magical Domain from the underground palace had integrated into the Eternal Furnace. Could that create an eighth Sky Castle?
However, no matter how powerful the Sky Castle was, Lin Li couldn’t gain much from it now. Out of the three items, the ones that had constantly benefited Lin Li were the other two—the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant and the Book of Eternity made from Leaves of Eternity.
The Evil Eye that was good at Mental Spells possessed extremely strong mental strength. An accessory made from an Evil Eye magical crystal using special processing techniques could increase the mental strength of the wearer, though it couldn’t provide mages with powerful magical strength.
