Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 1159 - Block



Chapter 1159: Block

In the following journey, which wasn’t too long, the two teams kept encountering all kinds of attacks. Their opponents included Abyssal Demons, Undead creatures that reeked of the odor of decomposition, and even a small group of Death Knights that got into a fight with them. The demons and Undead creatures were not all as weak and vulnerable as before. Many of them were at the Legendary-level too.

However, the strength of those two teams was not something that could be compared to ordinary adventurers. Be it the team of the Gilded Kingdom or the team of the Tower of Dusk, they were both teams with top abilities which very few forces could produce. The Sanctuary powerhouses of both teams did not have to do anything at all. With the Legendary powerhouses in the team, they could easily clear away that wave of obstacles in no time.

However, at this point, Lin Li was secretly muttering something to himself because the appearance of these enemies, coupled with this palace full of light, seemed really odd to him. Rumor had it that the Illuminati believed in the will of light of the ancient god Zagar. It was the so-called God-king of Light. Although it was different from the Brilliance Shrine’s Holy Light of Purification, and was much less pure, it did not seem to be related to the demons and Undead creatures. However, why were there so many demons and Undead creatures in the palace that was created for worshiping the God-king of Light?

Besides, Lin Li also deliberately observed the Gilded Kingdom’s team, only to realize that Saint Edmund seemed to be not at all surprised or furious with the presence of these demons and Undead creatures. On the other hand, the rest of the Gilded Kingdom team also chanted the prayers of the Illuminati along the way while continuously killing the enemies blocking the way. It was as if they felt that the place had been dirtied.

In this palace, there were lots of terrifying magic traps hidden beneath the golden splendor in addition to the endless demons and Undead creatures, blocking the two teams and preventing them from advancing. Those magic traps were hidden sinisterly in the palace full of light, like shadows under the sun. They seemed to be on the verge of devouring the people who had fallen into the traps.

The magic traps were naturally resolved by Angelano of the Tower of Dusk. Although the goblin Angelano’s forte was the technology of Alchemy Colossus, he was definitely a master in magic gears and magic traps too. It could be said that there was nothing related to magic gears or magic traps in Anril that Angelano could not deal with.

Of course, with Angelano’s timid character, he would never crack any magic trap alone. Hence, the vampire Norfeller who had just entered the Sanctuary-realm had temporarily become Angelano’s bodyguard as he accompanied him everywhere to resolve the deadly traps. According to Angelano, Norfeller was fast enough, and even if he encountered any danger, he would be able to escape immediately.

Angelano might be timid, but he was definitely hot-tempered, and when he was cracking magic traps, he would often mock the person who had set them up. Even though the people who had set up the magic traps basically wouldn’t hear his words of mockery, he would feel a great sense of satisfaction and superiority by doing so.

However, Angelano behaved a little differently today. After cracking some magic traps, he returned to Lin Li’s side and praised it for the first time. “Felic, count yourself lucky for bringing me along this time. These magic traps are definitely up to standard. Even I have to think about it. These magic traps are definitely up to standard, and you definitely won’t be able to escape without cracking it. Fortunately, we came in from outside. Otherwise, it would require a lot of effort.”

At the same time that he was praising the magic traps, Angelano naturally bragged about himself continuously too. On one hand, he wanted to show how skilled he was, and on the other hand, he wanted to gain some benefits from Lin Li after the matter was over. Angelano and Lin Li did not sign a Soul Contract. Hence, he would take some remuneration in exchange for his effort.

“Is that so?” Lin Li filtered out Angelano’s boasts; he had heard those words too often. After that, Lin Li told the team to continue advancing, and after they met a new magic trap, he would tell Norfeller and Angelano to resolve it.

However, Lin Li couldn’t help but mutter to himself about the uses of the magic traps that Angelano had mentioned. According to Angelano, the main purpose of the magic traps in the palace seemed not to be to deter outsiders.

Generally speaking, be it in the relics or mausoleum, or even some important places, the most important purpose of magic traps was to prevent the intrusion of outsiders. However, the magic traps in this palace seemed to be easy to crack from the outside, and difficult to crack from the inside. Didn’t that mean that the magic traps were designed to entrap something? If that was really the case, wouldn’t it become a luxurious prison?

In Lin Li’s opinion, that was quite unbelievable. Isn’t this palace built by the Illuminati to worship the God-king of Light? How can there be such magic traps? Could it be that the Illuminati have trapped something powerful here? Or is it the God-king of Light that was trapped here?

Despite having those questions in his heart, Lin Li was merely thinking about them, and did not intend to go confirm it with Edmund. After all, this speculation was akin to an accusation against the Illuminati. Which religion would do such an outrageous thing!?

There were drawings of the palace left over from the past in the hands of Saint Edmund. Hence, under his leadership, the two teams in this huge palace managed to proceed without any detour, though they took some time to clear the obstacles. The two teams took only about half a day’s time to reach the center of the palace.

In the heart of the palace, there was no luxury hall, but a crypt that was similar to the one they had seen when entering the underground world previously. Of course, it was not quite appropriate to call it a crypt, because it was surrounded by a lavish decor, and it seemed like a deep well. At the side, there was a wide staircase that spiraled down along the perimeter of the crypt, leading straight into its depths.

Seeing this scene, Lin Li became even more puzzled. The place of worship of the Illuminati’s god was not in the center of the palace. Could it be that the depths of the palace part refers to the depths of this huge crypt? This is really absurd. Which religion would worship the god they believe in deep under the ground?

The two teams followed the spiral staircase along the side of the crypt, and delved deeper into it. It took them a long time to reach the bottom, where another world appeared in front of them. The underground area seemed to be much more extensive than the top, and the borders could not be seen at all. When they looked up, they could not see the ceiling, either. Besides, the space was full of light, and thus it didn’t seem like an underground world at all.

Far ahead in front of the team, an extremely large shadow could vaguely be seen. It looked like a massive mountain. At this moment, even the people of the Gilded Kingdom and Elder Zumar were dumbfounded.

Clearly, even in the Illuminati, only very few people knew about it. Elder Zumar had a high status in the Illuminati, but he seemed to have never heard of it.

Saint Edmund’s eyes were also filled with vague excitement. Pointing at the extremely large shadow in the distance, he said to Lin Li, “President Felic, that’s our destination over there, the place where our god is sleeping. Lord Aquilo and the holy relic that can bring him back to life are also there.”

After hearing Edmund’s words, Lin Li nodded and looked at the distant shadows, feeling a little out of breath. In fact, from the moment he entered this place, he had already felt a terrifying aura that was not inferior to that of the Immortal King. However, the aura was dead, and it should have come from the ancient god that was deep in slumber.

However, Lin Li could not sense the aura of Aquilo of the Illuminati, and it was as if there wasn’t such a person at all. After all, it made him feel much more at ease; at least he could tell from this situation that the Illuminati would not be able to resurrect Aquilo for a while. He wouldn’t have to worry about Aquilo and the Illuminati attacking him together.

“Saint Edmund, there’s something that I don’t quite understand.” Lin Li looked away and turned around to face Edmund.

As soon as he heard Lin Li’s words, Edmund’s heart skipped a beat, afraid that the other party would suddenly regret it again. If the Tower of Dusk withdrew now, it would be too depressing. Even though the situation was beyond his expectations, he still didn’t want his trip to be fruitless this time.

“President Felic, please go ahead,” Edmund said as he turned around to look at Lin Li. Although his expression was normal, his eyes were filled with some nervousness.

Lin Li smiled a little and slowly walked forward while asking, “Saint Edmund, regarding the resurrection of Lord Aquilo, you said that the illuminati have been working on this for thousands of years. However, why did you wait until now?”

Others did not know about the situation on the island, but the Illuminati had been keeping this secret for thousands of years. Yet, nothing had been done during those several thousand years. Since the Illuminati said that they would do everything they could, why didn’t they send all the Sanctuary powerhouses? With the Illuminati’s strength, it would be more than sufficient to explore this place. Yet, why was Edmund sent only at this juncture?

Hearing Lin Li’s question, Edmund did not get angry, and instead smiled bitterly while saying, “Of course we have been working hard to accomplish this goal for a few thousand years. However, after the great war, all Sanctuary powerhouses would be blocked by a powerful force here. Later, we exiled some criminals here to excavate the island in advance. We didn’t expect it to cause another disaster, and cause this place to become an Ominous Land.”

“Blocked by a force?” Lin Li was a bit puzzled. When he came, he didn’t feel anything special, and now that there were five Sanctuary powerhouses, he still didn’t see any force that hindered them.

“Yes.” Edmund nodded. Seeing that Lin Li was puzzled, he continued to explain, “For thousands of years, this island has been shrouded by a powerful force, and even our current lord can’t step onto this island. However, there was a legend in our canon that the powerful human mage from Anril said that another version of him would be back in a few thousand years. Hence, I came here this time to see if that power has disappeared, and also to bring back the sacred relic.”

Another version of him would be back in a few thousand years! That made Lin Li recall something. From the time he came to Anril, it seemed that he had been mistaken quite a few times. For example, the vampire Norfeller acknowledged him as his master in the first place because he said that his original master said that the Immortal King would be coming. There was also the instance where the Undead Lord who possessed a mage in Daylight Square in Alanna also treated him as the Immortal King.

Even when exploring Prince Brahere’s mausoleum, the Soul Brand of Prince Brahere also mistook Lin Li for the Immortal King. Brahere was very likely the illegitimate son of the Immortal King and the High Elven queen. If even he could mistake him, Lin Li obviously resembled the Immortal King greatly.

However, no matter what others said, Lin Li knew very well that he was a game geek who had transmigrated from another world. How could he be the Immortal King? However, there were too many coincidences, such as the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, the Stars of Fury, the Sky Castles, and the Endless Labyrinth. His incarnation dressed in the King Hunter suit even appeared on the last floor of the Well of the Sun.

All of it was related to Lin Li, and the coincidences were too peculiar.
