Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master
chapter-1082

There were many forces in the Breezy Plains, and during the battle this time, they had displayed considerable strength. There were six pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses and many other powerhouses who had power that was at the peak of the Legendary-level.

If it was in the past when those forces were in disunity, Cantory naturally would not take them seriously, because the power of any one force would not be significant enough to cause trouble for the Gilded Kingdom. It was the same case even if a few forces formed an alliance. After all, the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati were united, and their combined power was far greater than what a few local forces could fight against.

However, through this incident, Cantory who was at the side had clearly felt that the people of those forces of the Breezy Plains had already recognized the Tower of Dusk as their leader. Cantory was not a good-for-nothing young master, and the fact that he could become the special envoy of the Tower of Dusk meant that he was really competent. Besides, his father was the chancellor of the Gilded Kingdom. He could easily tell the changes in the situation.

If the strength of the Tower of Dusk was similar to that of the other forces, Cantory would still optimistically think that the forces might just be temporarily perceiving the Tower of Dusk as their leader. However, the problem was that the young president of the Tower of Dusk as well as the powerful Sky Castle displayed incredible strength and power that shocked even him, let alone the people of those forces.

Cantory completely believed that after the incident today, the forces of the Breezy Plains would really be unified under the lead of the young president of the Tower of Dusk. If that was the case, the original plan of the Gilded Kingdom to gradually encroach on the Breezy Plains would probably be foiled.

Cantory was in charge of the Gilded Kingdom’s plan to expand in the Breezy Plains; hence, he naturally wasn’t willing to let his plan fall through just like that. Thus, when Elder Zumar, Lin Li, as well as Elvis and others flew over from the battlefield, Cantory looked at Lin Li with a scornful and resentful gaze. He even hoped that Elder Zumar could immediately intervene and kill the person who was about to ruin his plans.

Unfortunately, in the battle with the dragon corpse just now, Elder Zumar was the one who put in the most effort, though he might not deserve the greatest credit. Elder Zumar was not severely injured now, but he had clearly consumed a large amount of mana and mental strength. He probably would not be able to exert even half of his combat power.

Given Elder Zumar’s current condition, it was incredibly difficult for him to defeat a true Sanctuary powerhouse. Not to mention, there were a few other pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses and a bunch of Legendary powerhouses. More importantly, Lin Li had a Sky Castle. It would take a supreme battle weapon to cause a severe blow to such a powerful existence.

In fact, Cantory even had to worry if Lin Li would think of dealing with him. With Lin Li’s power, even Elder Zumar would probably only be able to look out for him, and then abandon the rest if Lin Li were to attack. The battle this time had already caused the Gilded Kingdom to suffer heavy losses. Even if the Gilded Kingdom was extremely wealthy and established, he could not ignore the elites’ lives.

Therefore, when Elder Zumar landed on the ground, Cantory immediately led his men to meet him. The forces of the Breezy Plains had clearly been divided into two sides. Besides, with his hint, the others also secretly kept their guard up so as to prevent a sudden attack by the people from the Breezy Plains if needed.

Seeing the people of the Gilded Kingdom doing this, the people of the Breezy Plains also behaved differently with a look of disdain. Some even seemed furious. Those who weren’t bothered had had clearly witnessed the battle, and had a lot of faith and confidence in the president of the Tower of Dusk. Those who were angry felt that the Gilded Kingdom was kicking them to the curb after they’d outlived their usefulness. After all, they had been invited to provide aid, and now that they had successfully helped the Gilded Kingdom out of the tough situation, the Gilded Kingdom kept their guard up against them.

At this time, Lin Li brought Elvis and the others to land on the ground of the Breezy Plains. When they saw the Gilded Kingdom’s people, Elvis bore with the pain in his body and grinned before turning to look at Lin Li. If the latter were to really give his orders and get everyone to attack the Gilded Kingdom, Elvis might really be the first to rush up.

“Ahem, President Felic and everyone else, thank you all so much for coming this time. We still have to report to our superiors from the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati, so we won’t impose on you any longer. Please rest assured that we will fulfill the agreement and conditions that we have agreed on previously as soon as we return.” After receiving Elder Zumar’s hint, Cantory, despite feeling indignant and resentful, knew that it wasn’t the time to get into a conflict with those forces. Hence, he had no choice but to bear with the resentment and compromise.

“I believe that with the Gilded Kingdom’s strength, they won’t ruin their reputation because of a trivial matter such as this.” Lin Li, too, did not intend to make a move against the people of the Gilded Kingdom, though the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom could still be considered hostile. There would probably be a battle in the future. However, if they fell out with each other now, the conditions that they had discussed before would definitely be nullified, and that would prevent them from maximizing their benefits.

Besides, the Gilded Kingdom could not be manipulated easily. Although Lin Li had absolute faith in himself and the Tower of Dusk, he wasn’t conceited to the point of thinking that he was invincible. As for Elder Zumar of the Gilded Kingdom, Lin Li wasn’t confident of making him stay, either. If he was unable to vanquish the high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, he would not be able to harm the foundation of the Gilded Kingdom even if the others were annihilated.

Besides, it wasn’t a good opportunity to go to war now, as Lin Li had more important things to do. If a war were to break out between them and the Gilded Kingdom, most of his energy and time would have to be spent on the conflict, thus leaving him with no time to consider the other issues. War had always been the last resort for solving issues. Lin Li was not that free as to take the initiative to start one at this time.

The people of the Gilded Kingdom were obviously relieved to hear his words. Initially, they had been really worried that the young president of the Tower of Dusk would be impulsive because of how young he was. Since Lin Li was still thinking about payment, it meant that he did not have the intention to fall out with them now.

Since the Gilded Kingdom had suffered heavy losses in this battle, there were still quite a few things to do in the aftermath, while Lin Li and the people from the forces of the Breezy Plains left too. Anyway, they didn’t have to worry about the Gilded Kingdom going back on their word. If they were to really do such a shameless thing, it would probably be difficult for them to develop in the Breezy Plains in the future. They would even become a laughingstock of Anril.

After respectfully bidding farewell to Lin Li, Elvis and the others left Cage Island with their people. On the other hand, Lin Li returned to the Sky Castle above his head. The mageweath of the Sky Castle lit up again, and it flew away from the sky of Cage Island in the direction of the Tower of Dusk with a loud roar.

Watching the Sky Castle leave gradually, Cantory retracted his gaze, which was filled with jealousy, and then turned around to say to Elder Zumar, “Elder, I’m afraid I’ve let that kid from the Tower of Dusk gain an advantage this time. Through the battle this time, he has already gained the respect of the people of those forces. I’m afraid he’ll be one of our biggest obstacles in the future.”

How could Elder Zumar fail to recognize the issue that Cantory could see? In particular, the performance of the crowd in the battlefield just now had allowed him to have a clearer idea of how much Elvis and several other pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses obeyed Lin Li, the young president of the Tower of Dusk. When Lin Li left the battlefield, they did not hesitate much, and still chose to stay on the battlefield. That was no longer as simple as a cooperative relationship; rather, they seemed to be compliant subordinates to Lin Li.

Elder Zumar even believed that as long as the young president of the Tower of Dusk let out a command, the forces of the entire Breezy Plains would unite immediately. Besides, it would not be an alliance that lacked unity, but a massive one that was truly a huge force. If the situation of the Breezy Plains became like that, the difficulties that the Gilded Kingdom would face if they wanted to develop in the Breezy Plains would definitely rise exponentially.

However, Elder Zumar did not say anything more about that issue, and simply nodded calmly. He turned around to look at Cage Island where peace had been restored, and said, “Okay, it’s time for us to go back.” After saying that, he used the Domain World to bring everyone up, and flew straight towards the fleet at sea.

In fact, the Gilded Kingdom’s team had had a smooth-sailing journey from sea this time, and they had also traveled to Cage Island by sea prior to this. This time, just like the forces of the Breezy Plains had expected, the Gilded Kingdom indeed had the intention of showing its strength and asserting dominance by destroying the Blackwater Swamp and the Levidans to shock the forces of the Breezy Plains.

However, Elder Zumar had probably never thought that their operation this time brought about the Tower of Dusk’s success, and allowed the latter to establish its prestige among the forces of the Breezy Plains. However, Elder Zumar was not very concerned about that, because those were superficial factors that wouldn’t affect the overall situation in the face of an absolute force.

“Elder Zumar, when we go back this time, should we invite a few more elders to come over? I believe that with you and a few elders joining forces, they’d be destroyed even with the Sky Castle,” said Cantory who was on the flagship with Elder Zumar on their way back. He was rather indignant. After all, he was a special envoy of the Gilded Kingdom, and was in charge of the expansion plans of the Gilded Kingdom in the Breezy Plains. If he could really destroy the Tower of Dusk, it would definitely be of great help to their future plans.

Of course, that was just a superficial reason as Cantory actually bore some resentment towards the Tower of Dusk. The experience of asking for aid this time was really arduous for him. Others might find it easy to ask for help as they would just have to swallow their pride a little, but the arrogant Cantory was a prestigious person who could make many bow down to him, yet he now had to succumb to the country bumpkin Lin Li, which was the greatest insult of his life.

Besides, Cantory might not want to admit it himself, but he was jealous of Lin Li, the young president. After all, he had been known as a genius and the best elite among the younger generation of the Gilded Kingdom. Yet, there was now a Sanctuary powerhouse who was younger than him, and had truly stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. He obviously couldn’t accept it.

In order to make Elder Zumar agree with his suggestion, Cantory even said with a solemn expression, “Elder, according to the information we got, the Tower of Dusk has already started the construction of warships, and they seem to have directed their future development towards the Endless Ocean. Besides, Felic is very ambitious too. Maybe his target is our kingdom.”

However, Cantory had been watching the battle from the sidelines, and had not really joined the battle against the dragon corpse. Hence, his knowledge of Lin Li’s strength was limited to the fact that the latter was a real Sanctuary powerhouse. Elder Zumar had a clear understanding of Lin Li’s abilities, and knew that he was a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse who was not inferior to him.

Hence, Elder Zumar did not express his approval for Cantory’s proposal, and instead shook his head slightly. He said, “You haven’t seen Felic’s strength clearly yet. Hence, it’s not strange for you to have such an idea. That Felic might be young, but I am afraid he isn’t inferior to me in terms of strength. If you can’t completely suppress him with a formidable power, we will have to be prepared to suffer his revenge once he escapes.”

Elder Zumar was not exaggerating at all. That was actually the reason very few Sanctuary powerhouses in Anril would form feuds with each other. Even if Sanctuary powerhouses could not be friends, they would at least stay in their own lanes and never cross paths. They would never try to kill each other as soon as they met, because they would have to be ready for getting plotted against in the future if they were to do so without sufficient preparation. Although Sanctuary powerhouses had a long lifespan, it would be a huge loss to waste it like that.

That was precisely why the Ashen Warlock dared to directly threaten the people of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati not to come and bother him unnecessarily. In fact, he even destroyed the morale of the Gilded Kingdom. However, when faced with the Ashen Warlock’s behavior, the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati had no choice but to bear with it, not daring to go against the Ashen Warlock, precisely because they were an established kingdom.
