Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master c1-1074

  On the other hand, not everyone could truly join the Tower of Dusk, as there was an extremely strict magic affinity test mages needed to pass before they become members. Even so, the number of mages in the Tower of Dusk doubled within a short span of 10-plus days. It wasn't impossible that all the talented mages in the Breezy Plains would be monopolized by the Tower of Dusk in the future.

  After briefly understanding the situation the Tower of Dusk was in, Lin Li flashed to the Eternal Furnace at the top of the Tower of Dusk without informing anyone. However, he found people in a fight just as he had reached the atrium of the Eternal Furnace.

  While a fight wasn't strange, what was strange was that the parties involved were Captain Alan and an odd-looking guy. That guy's entire body was covered in thick armor, making him look like a heavily armed human foot soldier. Although the guy wore a horned helmet, he barely reached Alan's c.h.e.s.t in height, making him look like a heavily armed dwarf.

  When Lin Li appeared, the two stopped fighting. The heavily armed dwarf loudly yelled, "Felic, you're back! Come and see my new product!"

  Judging from that sharp voice, Lin Li finally realized that it was Angelano inside this garish tin can.

  "Is this why you've asked me for magical metal?" Seeing that Angelano had raised the visor of his helmet, Lin Li felt defeated by Angelano. He had asked Lin Li for lots of precious magical metal before. Lin Li thought that he was going to make something amazing, but it turned out to be this armor!

  Angelano proudly replied, "Don't belittle my creation! I've experimented many times. Even the full blow of a Legendary powerhouse won't be able to break the armor's defense!"

  "I don't oppose your making armor, but can you have a little standard for beauty?" Lin Li rubbed his forehead, and couldn't bear to look at it any longer. Other armor was black, silver, or even gold, but Angelano's was filled with all the colors of the rainbow and more…

  The horned helmet was green, the horns white, the visor red, the b.r.e.a.s.tplate yellow with purple, the pauldrons blue, the arm armors yellow… Heaven knew how Angelano managed to mix all these colors! If not for how perfectly the pieces fitted one another, Lin Li would have speculated if the armor was made taking bits and pieces from different suits of armor, hence varying in color.

  Angelano waved his hands, confused, and remarked, "What's wrong? This armor contains all the colors in the world. It's the most elegant and beautiful one that ever existed!"

  Now, Lin Li finally understood why the High Elves had exterminated the entire goblin population. Lin Li didn't want to waste more time on the color of the armor, and continued, "Don't you have an Alchemy Colossus? Why are you wearing armor?"

  Lin Li wasn't worried that Angelano would be crushed by the armor's weight. From the fight with Alan just now, Lin Li could see that the interior of the armor made use of the same magic waves as the Alchemy Colossus. It could even be called an Alchemy Colossus armor.

  "No, I need time to summon the Alchemy Colossus. It's too dangerous being with you, lad. I can't put my own safety in the hands of other people. Don't belittle this armor. Even if I fight with a Sanctuary powerhouse, this armor will buy me time to enter the Alchemy Colossus." Angelano was evidently scared by what happened in Brahere's mausoleum.

  "Can't you change its color?" Lin Li tried to convince Angelano to forsake his perception that combining all colors was beauty.

  However, Angelano shook his head firmly, and replied, "Why? Isn't this beautiful? You have the same artistic taste as that Osric. I'm utterly disappointed!"

  Evidently, Angelano had contemplated painting his Alchemy Colossus just like this armor, but that butcher Osric wasn't as easy-going as Lin Li.

  "…Okay, anything you like." Lin Li waved his hands helplessly, but decided in his heart that he would reduce the instances he brought this lad out to a minimum. It was just too embarrassing!

  Seeing that Lin Li agreed, Angelano was extremely excited. He dropped down his visor, and ran back to Alan to test the armor's functionality. Since Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse, Angelano didn't dare to oppose him. He couldn't believe that his little insistence had made Lin Li agree to his choice.

  Seeing Angelano's reaction, Lin Li immediately realized that the wretched goblin would've immediately changed the color of that disgusting armor if he had just glared at him. However, he had already agreed, and it wasn't nice to go back on his word. He could only try to avoid seeing it now.

  Upon leaving the Eternal Furnace, Lin Li summoned all the higher-ups of the Tower of Dusk, and soon understood the Tower of Dusk's recent developments. To put it simply, their business was getting bigger and more talents were coming in.

  Potions and forging were the two pillars of the Tower of Dusk's industries. Now, their scale of production had expanded considerably. This expansion was brought about by the increase in demand after the other factions stopped obstructing them, making their business easier than before. A huge influx of cash had become the driving force for the Tower of Dusk reaching new heights.

  In the aspect of talent, Lin Li had seen an increase of 200-300 elite-level mages. These mages could form a mage legion after a certain amount of training.

  However, it had also brought problems. Out of these mages, there were some who were affiliated with certain factions, such as heirs of mage families and direct disciples of the leaders of other factions. Gavin couldn't make a decision as to what arrangements to make for these people. It didn't seem suitable to keep them out, but also not safe to accept them.

  Lin Li didn't find it a problem, though. He resolved the problem by telling them to treat everyone equally. Given the fact that Lin Li was already in the Sanctuary-realm now, did he need to worry about trickery? After all, he wasn't boasting that anyone below the Sanctuary-realm was now like an ant to him. No one dared to offend a Sanctuary powerhouse, as that meant death. As for other Sanctuary powerhouses, they were too noble to do something like that.

  Lin Li didn't need to deal with the management of the Tower of Dusk personally now. He only needed to lay out the direction for Gavin and his team. After all, Lin Li didn't have time to waste on doing these trivial but complex things.

  The date Geresco had calculated was nearing. Although Tutankhamun had mentioned that one could seal spacetime rifts upon reaching the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li didn't believe that it would be as simple as chanting a curse after experiencing the Eternal Darkness Altar's great rift.

  Darkness High Priest Rogge had mentioned before that every great rift contained extremely powerful creatures. These creatures were waiting for the rift to completely open so that they could rush into Anril. How could they just sit and watch someone seal it? Moreover, Lin Li remembered that Rogge had mentioned that out of all the rifts Geresco had calculated, there was one that even Rogge feared.

  Although Rogge suffered badly in the hands (paws) of Flame Dragon Lothar, he was still much stronger than Lin Li, who had just reached the Sanctuary-realm. For something that even Rogge feared, Lin Li didn't think that he had the ability to provoke it with his current power, even with the seven pieces of the debris of the stars.

  It was a necessity for Lin Li to obtain the Stars of Fury before sealing the spacetime rifts. However, Lin Li wouldn't feel safe with just the Stars of Fury. After all, he couldn't compare to the Immortal King. Even with the Stars of Fury and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it would still be impossible for him to slaughter an existence like the Dragon of Destruction.

  Although Lin Li had experienced many soul-stirring moments after coming to Anril, he still feared death. Thus, Lin Li hoped to get as much assistance as possible to lower down the risk level of sealing the spacetime rifts before actually doing that.

  After seeing the Sky Castle's Sky Garden
, Lin Li thought of the other Sky Castle that he possessed the control crystal of and could summon anytime. However, he didn't forget the fact that a powerful Ghost of Highlord Osric remained in that Sky Castle.

  When Lin Li had finished exploring the Sky Castle, that Ghost was at the peak of Legendary-level. After such a long time, coupled with the help of the Psychic Array, Lin Li was certain that it would have reached Sanctuary-realm by now. Moreover, that Ghost was not just any Ghost. Osric's soul was likely to have fused into it.

  That would be terrifying. As a powerhouse at the peak of Sanctuary-realm, Osric's soul combined with a Ghost could probably reach the peak of Sanctuary-realm too. After all, it was Osric's plan to fuse that Ghost with the perfect body in his mausoleum after it had matured. That would be the last breakthrough to becoming truly immortal. If the Ghost and the perfect body couldn't reach the peak of Sanctuary-realm, how could they fuse in that final critical step?

  Thus, Lin Li wouldn't dare to summon the Sky Castle to Anril before dealing with that Ghost. Doing that would bring to Anril a catastrophe even worse than the Retribution Knight Rodhart.

  "Looks like we need to go to the Sky Castle, after all."

  Lin Li believed that fully controlling that Sky Castle would be extremely beneficial, or even critical, to him when sealing the spacetime rifts.

  After all, the Seventh Sky Castle was the strongest Sky Castle out of all the High Elves had built. The Conquering Mageweaths allowed its residents to possess terrifying power similar to the gods' power. That was something the Ice and Fire Domain in the Eternal Furnace couldn't compare to.

  Moreover, that was something he had to do sooner or later. Once the Ghost had reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, it was highly likely that the Ghost would try to come to Anril even without Lin Li summoning the Sky Castle. If not, how could it fuse with the perfect body? Now that the Ghost still hadn't left the Sky Castle, it was either because it wanted to gain control of the Sky Castle, or because it hadn't reached its maximum potential.

  Chapter 922 - Alchemy Nation

  Lin Li stayed in the Tower of Dusk for 20 days, and he politely declined all visitors. He focused on strengthening his realm once more. The conversations that he had with the three arbitrators definitely made Lin Li gain a lot of knowledge. Just because he did not advance in level, it did not mean that his strength hadn't increased. In particular, the use of power in the Sanctuary-realm was the knowledge that Lin Li needed the most now.

  20 days later, Lin Li himself could feel that the combat power he was able to exert now was absolutely no longer comparable to what he had been able to use before. It was actually like a person who possessed a weapon having to learn how to use it and how to exert its power to the fullest. It was like the difference in combat power between a person holding a sword and slashing like a madman and a person who had an amazing mastery of swordsmanship. The combat power exerted by the same sword would be different in his hands.

  After adjusting his state to his best, Lin Li began to consider the combinations of members in his team. His enemy could be near the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and he definitely couldn't fight him alone. Besides, the Ghost could also deploy the Undead Heaven, which was an ultimate Necromagic spell that would summon countless Undead creatures to fight with him.

  Lin Li definitely wanted to take a group of mages of the Tower of Dusk along with him, as well as a new batch of mages who had joined. He did not expect them to deal with the Ghost, but given their strength, they would definitely be able to do so. At the same time, it would be a good training for the new mages.

  Considering that the other party would summon a large number of Undead creatures, apart from Norfeller and Ujfalusi, his Undead servants, Lin Li decided to bring the Holy Death Knights in the Black Front Fortress along with him. The Death Knights who had Divine Power were undoubtedly the archnemesis of the Undead creatures. Besides, there was already a Retribution Knight amongst the Undead creatures. He reckoned that a few more Retribution Knights might appear after they consumed a large amount of soul fire.

  Next, there was Connoris. If it had been in the past, Lin Li definitely wouldn't have taken Connoris to see the Ghost. After all, the perfect body that Connoris was using had been originally prepared for the Ghost by Osric. God knew what kind of changes would've happened if the two had met previously.

  However, things were different now. Lin Li had already used the Immortal King's method to modify the perfect body. Without the previous flaws, Connoris' soul and the perfect body had fused completely. Even the Ghost could not take it away.

  "This time, the operation in the Sky Castle is extremely dangerous. The other party is a Ghost at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. I can't protect you at all."

  Lin Li originally was not planning to take Angelano with him, because his colorful armor was too embarrassing. However, Angelano overcame his cowardly personality, and his armor seemed to have given him a greater sense of security. No matter how terrifying Lin Li made the Sky Castle out to be, he actually insisted on joining the operation. He even said that Lin Li would be looking down on him and the goblins if he did not let him join the operation. He was becoming more and more confident, and Lin Li had no idea who taught him that.

  However, after selecting the people he would be bringing with him to the operation, Lin Li didn't move immediately. The existence of the Ghost was only one of the problems that Lin Li would face this time. The more important thing was controlling the Sky Castle after getting rid of the Ghost.

  While Lin Li already had the control crystal of the Sky Castle, it was just like a key that meant that he had the rights to control the Sky Castle, and how he could control it was another problem.

  Although the Sky Castle had been explored once back then, and they had also obtained many wonderful things from the Central Tower, the Sky Castle spanned a huge area, and their exploration had actually been quite rushed.

  Initially, Lin Li and the others had planned to continue exploring the other areas after coming out of the Central Tower. However, the Ghost had suddenly awakened. Faced with the powerful Ghost, Lin Li and the rest had had no choice but to leave in a hurry. They had not had the time to explore the Sky Castle in detail at all. Of course, that was a huge pity to everyone else, but to Lin Li, it was a good thing.

  Lin Li did not just imagine the secrets of the Sky Castle. After all, he still had the Eternal Furnace which the Highlord Osric had created by replicating the Sky Castles. Even though the two were worlds apart, there were also similarities.

  After acquiring the Eternal Furnace, Lin Li hadn't missed any opportunity to study the structures and other aspects of the Eternal Furnace. He could be considered to have obtained many secrets of the Eternal Furnace, especially with the presence of the Guru of Alchemy, Angelano. As for whether or not those things could be used in the Sky Castle, no one could be sure, but it would not be wrong to prepare beforehand.

  Apart from that, Lin Li had also specially visited the Ashen Warlock. The Sky Castle belonged to the Immortal King, and the Ashen Warlock was created by the Immortal King. He felt that the two might be related.

  Finally, once everything was ready, Lin Li set off with his team for the Haiga Mountain Range. Anyone who saw the Tower of Dusk's team would know that Lin Li was going to make another big move again. However, no one had come to talk about cooperation this time.

  This team was much stronger than the one with the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade back then. Even though the Haiga Mountain Range was known as one of the forbidden places in the world of Anril, the menacing Legendary beasts couldn't stop them from advancing.

  Under Lin Li's lead, they only took a few days to enter the Haiga Mountain Range, followed by the area where life was forb
idden, and the green dragon lair. They reached the place where they had fought the green dragons back then. Recalling the experience that they had back then, Lin Li could not help but feel emotional.

  The Green Dragon King that had made Lin Li and the rest feel hopeless was no longer Lin Li's match now. Unfortunately, the green dragon lair did not have any signs of life at all. The green dragons that had been sent away by the tender Elemental Wyrm, Xiao Hua, had gone somewhere too. It seemed that they had never returned.

  There was a Teleportation Portal at the end of the green dragons' lair. Due to the fact that Lin Li did not know the current situation in the Sky Castle, he did not get the team to teleport in batches, but stood alone in the center of the array formation, and took out the massive control crystal before activating the Teleportation Portal.

  As the Teleportation Portal was activated, the teleportation did not start immediately after the Teleportation Portal on the stone platform lit up. Instead, it gradually began expanding under the power of the control crystal. Once the entire team was shrouded in the light of the Teleportation Portal, everyone immediately vanished.

  Actually, Lin Li could still send the entire team to the Sky Castle using the control crystal of the Sky Castle in the other areas. However, he did not have the teleportation coordinates recorded in the Teleportation Portal. Hence, he could only lead the team to that place, and obtain the coordinates before using the control crystal.

  Perhaps because of the use of control crystal, the teleportation didn't feel like they were floating in the chaos of time and space. It simply felt like their surroundings had turned into the Sky Castle in the blink of an eye.

  As soon as the team of the Tower of Dusk appeared in the Sky Castle, they immediately got attacked. Fortunately, Lin Li had prepared for the terrible Ghost. He had long instructed everyone to take precautions. However, to Lin Li's surprise, it was not the Ghost and Undead creatures that attacked them. Instead, they were attacked by two massive Alchemy Colossuses.
