These were just personal gains for Lin Li. The trip to Roland City was also very rewarding to the Tower of Dusk. Lin Li and his companions brought back many contracts of every type. There was the herb supply contract, potion sales contract, mage training contract, and magical items purchase priority contract. These contracts were all negotiated by Gavin personally. Lin Li was quite trusting of Gavin’s negotiation skills. Evidence had shown that Gavin had done a great job and had maximized the interests of the Tower of Dusk in every negotiation.
These contracts would bring consistent flow of cash into the Tower of Dusk for its future development and sustainability. It was right to say that the Tower of Dusk had stepped into a positive developmental path from today. Before this, Lin Li had been supporting the Tower of Dusk all by himself. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the Tower of Dusk would have disappeared from the Breezy Plains within days if not for Lin Li.
Lin Li had obtained the Throne of Darkness, discovered the underground palace, and wiped out the Syer Bandits. These, however, were only one-off events. n.o.body could rely on just discovering ruins to ensure the survival and development of a faction. In addition, Lin Li would be so lucky to always find treasures and ruins. Once all ruins were discovered, how would the Tower of Dusk survive?
However, everything was different starting from today. The Tower of Dusk could now touch on every single area of the Breezy Plains through these contracts. A third of all the notable factions in the Breezy Plains now had some kind of business connection with the Tower of Dusk. This meant that the Tower of Dusk had truly integrated into the Breezy Plains now.
After coming back to the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li didn’t waste any time, and got busy with the matters in Tower of Dusk in an orderly manner. First, he had to send 10 Archmages to protect the Seven Leaf Gra.s.s’s caravan like he had told its boss Charles before. With the current abilities of the Tower of Dusk, sending out 10 Archmages was a piece of cake. With Lich Ujfalusi going as well, the caravan of the Seven Leaf Gra.s.s would come back from the Elven Kingdom unharmed even if they faced the second-ranked Bandit clan on the way.
Fortunately, Gavin, who was a mage talented in business, could help out so that Lin Li didn’t have to waste precious time on all those complicated business contracts. Be it the business with Glittergold Trade Union, Gilded Rose, and the Malfa Family, or the collaboration with the Time Consignment Store and the business contracts with various factions, Gavin managed all of them meticulously.
Of course, Wilkinson and his companions became busier as the amount of business increased. Lin Li was also stricter with them. Be it high- or medium-level pharmacists, all the pharmacists didn’t slack at all. They spent every day in the potion laboratory. However, none of them had any complaints despite being so busy, as the large amount of practice had brought about great improvements in their pharmaceutics capability…
Beckley, who had sent letters to the Malfa Family as the messenger of the Tower of Dusk, received a secret mission from the President again. He had to go further for this mission than the last, to the land of blacksmiths and wheat wine—the Dwarf Kingdom. He had to go there to discuss the purchase of Crystal Cannons.
Lin Li wanted to build the Tower of Dusk into an indestructible combat fortress. Hence, the highly destructive Crystal Cannons were an indispensable item in this plan. n.o.body could imagine how a Magical Tower equipped with 20-plus Crystal Cannons would look like. After all, even the royal palace of the Dwarf Kingdom only had over 10 Crystal Cannons.
However, although the Crystal Cannons were very powerful, they weren’t easy to construct. Even the Dwarf Kingdom which possessed the greatest number of blacksmiths couldn’t construct 20-odd Crystal Cannons in a short time. Beckley was going to the Dwarf Kingdom this time mainly to negotiate the price of these Crystal Cannons as well as to push the production forward. He couldn’t just disa.s.semble the Crystal Cannons on the walls of the Dwarf Kingdom’s city walls, after all.
With the end of the auction, the leaders of each invited faction all left Roland City and returned to their respective areas. What happened during the auction also spread like fire throughout the Breezy Plains. If it weren’t these reputable people telling the tale, n.o.body would believe that it was true.
A potion auctioned at 10,000,000 gold coins and a Legendary-mage only 20? Those had exceeded the limit of people’s imagination. Countless people especially yearned to see the Legendary battle in the Harvest Square with their own eyes. Nowadays, it was very hard to see a true Legendary powerhouse, not to mention witnessing a battle between two Legendary powerhouses.
