Chapter 903 - Invitation From The Supreme Council (2/2)

There seemed to be some meaning in Chris’ words, but Lin Li did not think too much of it. Instead, he curiously asked, “In that case, is there anything that a councilor of the Supreme Council would have to do? Are there any formalities or administrative procedures? I’ll get someone to prepare them.”

Lin Li still remembered when he was inaugurated as the President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic in the past. Even though the Tower of Dusk had just been established, the inauguration ceremony of the President was not shabby or slipshod at all. At that time, there were quite a few people who came to celebrate the event, most of whom were big shots. Of course, they gave quite a few gifts too. If he were to become a councilor of the Supreme Council, would they hold a ceremony and give him some gifts too?

Chris seemed to have read Lin Li’s mind. He shook his head, and said, “There’s nothing to prepare. This is an internal matter of the Supreme Council. In 10 days’ time, there will be a regular meeting of the Supreme Council, and you have to attend it as a new councilor. We have made arrangements for everything else.”

Although there was no need to hold a ceremony, and Lin Li would not be receiving any more gifts, he wasn’t too disappointed about it. After all, with his current fortune, there was really nothing else he wanted other than a superior treasure like the Stars of Fury. Besides, others might not be able to afford what he wanted.

“So, where am I supposed to go to attend the meeting in 10 days?” Of course, Lin Li knew that the regular meetings of the Supreme Council would naturally be held at the Supreme Council’s venue. However, the location of the Supreme Council seemed to have always been a secret in the past 1,000 years or so.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take you there when the time comes,” Chris said with a smile. He then looked around curiously, and continued, “Shouldn’t you take me on a tour around your Tower of Dusk now?”

Lin Li naturally would not turn down Chris’ request. He had put in plenty of effort into the construction of the Tower of Dusk, and although it might be a little exaggerated to say that it was like his child, it should be right to say that it was his proudest piece of work. To Lin Li, showing the best piece of work he had done to a mythical figure like Chris was still a relatively rewarding thing.

The Tower of Dusk had grown to the point where there were more than 1,000 mages, and it was naturally impossible to arrange for all of them to live in the tower. Besides, the Tower of Dusk was different from the other Guilds of Magic. They were not built in the same city, and the mages recruited were not only from Doland City, but also from various other regions of the Breezy Plains. It was unlike the Jarrosus Guild of Magic where the Emerald Tower was built right in Jarrosus City and the mages each had their own residence in the city.

Hence, living quarters had been built in the Tower of Dusk, and the closest to the Tower of Dusk was a relatively independent building with two floors and boasting an environment that was rather elegantly decorated, which was specially built for the elite mages.

In the periphery outside the mage’s residences, there was a curved building that was made up of adjoined three-story buildings. There were two rows of such buildings, and in addition to serving as the living s.p.a.ce of the mages, the buildings in the outer radius were similar to city walls and served a defensive purpose. Of course, since it was meant for defense, the materials used to build them were very st.u.r.dy even though they weren’t tall. Besides, there were Magic Arrays around them, as well as a large number of mageweaths. It could be considered a tough defense to break even for Legendary magic spells.

The residence of the elite mages was enough to accommodate more than 200 mages, and although the living conditions of the ordinary mages were slightly inferior, their residences could accommodate 2,000 mages. If the residences were fully occupied, the power of the Tower of Dusk would definitely reach an astonis.h.i.+ng level.

However, as Lin Li entered the Sanctuary-realm and the Tower of Dusk became the Magic Land of the Breezy Plains, there would definitely be mages from all areas who would apply to join them. At that time, they might even have to expand the Tower of Dusk. Of course, it wouldn’t be troublesome, as he just had to add another round of buildings to the outermost periphery.

In fact, Lin Li had taken some inspiration from the Sky Castle when he designed the entire architectural layout of the Tower of Dusk. However, he didn’t have to set up Conquering Mageweaths; hence, it didn’t seem like a maze.

In addition, among the various residential areas, there were several libraries that were specially set up, and they contained magic books of varying depth of content. The mages did not have to deliberately study in the Tower of Dusk. The books contained core magical knowledge, and only the elite mages or the ones who had received permission from the higher-ups would be allowed to enter to study.

The area opposite the residences of the mages was the buildings of the Tower of Dusk’s businesses, and the Forging Workshop took up the largest amount of s.p.a.ce. It was also the residence of the blacksmiths and other talents.

Chris was originally not too interested in the Forging Workshop, since they just housed some blacksmiths who would hammer and forge metals. However, when Lin Li brought him into one of the Forging Workshops, he couldn’t help but get a great shock. It turned out that the Forging Workshop was not filled with blacksmiths, but with alchemical machines with complex structures.

“Was this created by the Goblin Angelano?” Chris had lived for so many years, but it was really the first time he had seen such a sight.

There was a row of hammers on the alchemical machines that were lifted and dropped neatly. After being struck a certain number of times, there would be a mechanical lever replacing the billet with a new one before the striking resumed. The ones that were replaced would be processed separately in bulk.

Goblins were short in stature and lacked mana and power. How could they build such ma.s.sive Alchemy Colossuses? With their power, they probably could not even raise the hammers used by blacksmiths. How did they break the metal into the parts they wanted? They managed to do so by relying on their mastery of the alchemical machines, and used the power of the machinery to accomplish things they couldn’t do themselves.

Lin Li sometimes even wondered if the world would’ve become like the one he was in before he transmigrated if the goblins had not perished, and instead dominated Anril like the High Elves had.

Of course, alchemy machinery was not omnipotent; the machines in the Forging Workshop only provided the preliminary processing of metal, and the true creation of magical weapons would still have to be done by the blacksmiths. The significance of the existence of the alchemy machinery was to provide more secrecy for the techniques, and also to reduce the workload of the blacksmiths to a certain extent.
