Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1043 - Prehistoric Times

Chapter 1043: Prehistoric Times

However, it was Lin Li’s orders, and even if Gavin and the others were confused, they wouldn’t dare to disobey their president’s command. Anyway, the Tower of Dusk now had a ma.s.sive amount of wealth, and the hundreds of millions of gold coins invested in Baburia City were just peanuts to them.

Of course, the Tower of Dusk’s actions had also attracted the attention of other forces, especially the Gilded Kingdom’s people who began to look nervous. Back then, Cantory and Elder Jorre agreed to give the Tower of Dusk the information on the sea, but they did not expect the Tower of Dusk to decide to develop their naval force so quickly.

The Gilded Kingdom was far away in the sea. Once war broke out in the Breezy Plains, they would definitely need to get aid via the sea. If the Tower of Dusk also had a naval force, they would pose a huge threat to the Gilded Kingdom if a war were to break out in the future. Although Cantory and the others were confident that the Tower of Dusk’s greenhorn navy definitely could not compare to their fleet of battles.h.i.+ps, it was troublesome for them too.

In order to figure out the Tower of Dusk’s intentions, the Gilded Kingdom pulled plenty of their connections in hopes of finding out something from Lin Li, the young president of the Tower of Dusk. However, after the matters of the port and s.h.i.+pyard were on track, Lin Li once again returned to the inverted tower of the Sky Tower, not giving anyone a chance to probe at all.

In the inverted tower of the Sky Castle, Lin Li, who had already reached the peak of level-27, currently no longer needed to train himself through the Barbarous Arena. Perhaps he would feel some enlightenment in those battles, but there seemed to be no significant help to his improvement in strength.

Lin Li, who had once again returned, mainly wanted to explore a higher level of the inverted tower in hopes of finding a better chance of breaking through. However, what he found bizarre was the fact that the s.p.a.ce on the second floor of the tower had been explored, but he could not find the stairs that led to a higher floor no matter what. It seemed he could only enter the Barbarous Arena.

However, after entering the Barbarous Arena, Lin Li had only experienced a few battles before getting sent out of it when he was defeated by the last opponent. Could it be that that was the end of the inverted tower? Clearly, that was impossible. Although the magic books on the first floor and the Barbarous Arena on the second floor each had incomparable value, Lin Li believed that it was by no means the entirety of the treasures left by Geresco.

However, just as Lin Li was being clueless, and was preparing to put the matter aside, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some issues with the stone platform that was used for storing the crystal ball after his observation through the crystal ball outside the Barbarous Arena. To be more specific, Lin Li could vaguely see something strange about the G.o.d’s Eye mageweath that was carved on the stone platform.

The G.o.d’s Eye mageweath was rampant in every Magic Tower, and it was a common method used for monitoring the surroundings of the tower. Generally, most of them had only reached the Master-level standard. The difference between those and the mageweath on the stone platform was that the latter could not only be used to monitor another area, it could also record the scenes that took place on the battlefield. It could also allow one to observe and study the battle scenes from all angles. Hence, making the complexity of the G.o.d’s Eye mageweath had already reached the Guru-level standard. In fact, it could be considered a Guru-level mageweath.

However, when Lin Li saw the G.o.d’s Eye G.o.d’s Eye mageweath for the first time, and memorized all of its functions at a glance, he stopped wasting his effort on it. After all, increasing his abilities was the most urgent thing that he had to do at this moment. Besides, simple supportive Guru-level mageweaths were not worth his time to study at all.

However, Lin Li could not find the entrance to the next floor this time, and thus could not find another solution even if he wanted to spend more time and energy to continue improving his abilities. Naturally, he had the energy to pay attention to the aspects that seemed irrelevant. Lin Li initially wanted to take a casual look when he was bored, but after doing so, he couldn’t take his eyes off it at all.

Initially, there seemed to be a vague mageweath with an unknown use in the Guru-level G.o.d’s Eye. Just like the Conquering Mageweath and the Psychic Array which shared the same mana pathway above the Sky Castle, the G.o.d’s Eye mageweath array also shared the same mana pathway with another mageweath inside it.

Besides, the mana pathways that the Conquering Mageweath and the Psychic Array shared were the main pathways to achieve the purpose of sharing the same mana source. However, the G.o.d’s Eye mageweath could not be considered to be sharing the same mana pathway as the other mageweath. It was as if it formed another mageweath using the mana pathway, and they were in perfect synchronization. From that alone, it was clear that Geresco’s skill in inscription was not much worse than that of Highlord Osric.

In Lin Li’s opinion, his technique of drawing mageweaths was already at the peak Guru-level, and he was probably just a step away from becoming a Divine Smith. If the mageweath was just a magic trap, it would take Lin Li at least a month or so to resolve it. Besides, the process would involve plenty of inevitable danger.

Fortunately, Lin Lu discovered that the mageweath hidden in the G.o.d’s Eye was also a trigger-type mageweath, but it was not a deadly trap. Actually, it made sense. Since Geresco left the treasure to Lin Li, how could it leave any deadly traps behind? Recharging was only a test for Lin Li.

Lin Li spent half a day a.n.a.lyzing the entire mageweath before finally realizing that the mageweath contained in the G.o.d’s Eye mageweath was in fact more of an evaluation device for testing the mana and talent of a mage. However, it was much more exquisite.

Lin Li could not guess why the evaluation mageweath was so well hidden to the extent that he almost missed it. Be it magic, inscription, alchemy, or even pharmacy, it was actually all about the use of power and one’s comprehension of the Laws. Perhaps the power involved was different, but the Laws were the same. The ultimate goal was to step into the realm of the G.o.ds and obtain the same power as the G.o.ds.

Lin Li managed to discover that hidden mageweath not only because he had Master-level attainments in inscription, but more importantly because he had a deeper understanding and mastery of the Laws after this period of honing and sharpening his skills. Hence, the hidden mageweath could only be considered a test to him. If he’d discovered the mageweath as soon as he entered, that would’ve meant that he had already reached a certain standard in his understanding of the Laws, and he naturally would not have had to enter the Barbarous Arena to train.

After figuring out how the mageweath was triggered, Lin Li gently pressed his palm against the center of the mageweath on the stone platform, and slowly infused his mana and mental strength into it. With Lin Li’s movements, the mageweath of the stone platform that was holding the crystal ball gradually became brighter to the point where Lin Li’s figure vanished.

At this moment, Lin Li also suddenly felt as if there was an eye that was secretly scanning him from inside out. Be it his mana, his mental strength and the sense of familiarity with the Laws, or the combat experience that he had acc.u.mulated in his body, they were all revealed in the endless light. It could be considered a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of one’s personal strength that no other evaluation could compare to.

After the light faded, receding like a tide, a ladder-like staircase leading to the next level appeared on a wall. However, there were no turns in the stairs that led straight ahead, and Lin Li could already see the end of the staircase from below. Lin Li left the crystal ball and the stone platform, made his way up the stairs, and soon arrived at the third floor that he thought about for a long time.

The third floor was not very s.p.a.cious, but due to the fact that there were not many appointments there, it seemed extremely empty. There was a large Alchemy Array that covered the entire ground of the third floor. However, it seemed that only the mana source in the center of the Alchemy Array was emitting the light of mana, while the others were in a dormant state. They were not immediately activated because he appeared, and not a single tinge of mana flowed in the mana circuit.

The Alchemy Array was definitely the key to entering the third floor. Suppressing his excitement and agitation, Lin Li quickly strode away from the stairs, and cautiously entered the giant Alchemy Array to look at it carefully.

The Alchemy Array was also close to the realm of a Divine Smith; in fact, Lin Li could vaguely sense the aura of a Divine Smith within it. That was also the very reason that he still felt far more inferior when he was looking at the Alchemy Array on the ground even though he was also a Guru in alchemy.

However, what shocked Lin Li even more was the fact that the Alchemy Array that was near the level of the Divine Smith, which he could not master, was exactly the same as one he saw in the game, Endless World.

That Alchemy Array in the Endless World was known as the gateway to the prehistoric times. It was the entrance to a large dungeon which would allow players to enter a prehistoric world through the door of the outer realm.

Since it was called a prehistoric world, it naturally contained plenty of terrifying prehistoric magical beasts that remained only in legends.
