Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 894 - Attitude

Chapter 894: Attitude

Although Angelano couldn’t learn magic, he had been following Highlord Osric for numerous years, after all. Hence, he definitely knew the Sanctuary-realm like the back of his hand. Of course, although he was clamoring continuously like he didn’t care, he was actually flabbergasted deep down. Becoming a Sanctuary powerhouse in his twenties is so much more perverted than Osric!
“Sanctuary-realm!”
“Has President entered the Sanctuary-realm?”
“Damn it, why did you pinch me!?”
Hearing Angelano’s words, the mages of the Tower of Dusk got into an uproar. To them, those in the Sanctuary-realm were just like gods. Even though the fact that they had joined the Tower of Dusk and become a member of the team meant that they were very confident in the development of the Tower of Dusk, the current development was still clearly far beyond their imagination.
Having a Sanctuary powerhouse supporting the force was akin to being blessed by the gods. As long as they didn’t incur the wrath of the Heavens like the Retribution Knight Rodhart did, the force would be in an unshakable position in Anril. Even the other Sanctuary powerhouses wouldn’t be willing to become enemies with a Sanctuary powerhouse.
Besides, the mages of the Tower of Dusk were all nurtured by Lin Li, and he had always given them plenty of pointers. Hence, in a way, they were equivalent to Lin Li’s students and apprentices. Even though they often addressed him as “President”, it wouldn’t be overboard for them to address him as “Teacher”. There were only a few Sanctuary powerhouses in the entire Anril. If one could learn from a Sanctuary powerhouse, there would be endless benefits.
As soon as the news of Lin Li stepping into the Sanctuary-realm spread, the teams from the Glittergold Trade Union and the Caesar Family immediately became much more confident even though they had been initially dejected. However, the morale of the members of the Mithril Alliance became even lower. Everyone knew that the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Dusk were rivals, and now that there was a Sanctuary powerhouse in the Tower of Dusk, the Mithril Alliance definitely wouldn’t have it easy.
Soon, Hoffman and Caesar Family walked towards the team of the Tower of Dusk, and informed them about the casualties of their respective teams, as well as the terrible situation that they were in. After the battle, the combat power of the Glittergold Trade Union’s team was greatly decreased even though they did not have too many casualties. It was worse for the Caesar Family as more than half their members suffered severe injuries. If the battle hadn’t been stopped in time, they would have been wiped out in a short while.
“Take these potions and use them to heal your wounded, then let them rest for half a day. The exploration that we’ll be conducting next won’t be smooth-sailing, either. It’s necessary for everyone to adjust themselves and get into the best state.” After Lin Li finished speaking, he once again took out two cartons of Life Potions from his Ring of Endless Storm, and handed them to the two of them.
“Alright.” Hoffman and Claus didn’t say any pleasantries, and proceeded to save their wounded with the potions.
Actually, it wasn’t just the rest of the expedition. The Legendary powerhouses who had fought the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera with Lin Li also needed time to rest and adjust. After all, Sindera had been displaying level-26 to level-27 Sanctuary-level power during the fight. The pressure of it was enough to make others vomit blood, let alone go all out to fight it and resist its tide-like attacks.
Sindera had told Lin Li that there were three powerful souls that Brahere had placed in the depths of the mausoleum to guard the relic. Lin Li believed that with Brahere’s status among the High Elves, he was definitely loyal and competent, especially since he was chosen to take on that mission.
Soon, the various forces set up a temporary camp and erected a few simple tents. The entire canyon fell silent.
“Joseph, if this goes on, we probably won’t be able to get out of this mausoleum.”
“Yeah, we’re all like insignificant ants since we’re below the Sanctuary-realm. It’d be way too easy for the other party to keep us here forever. We clearly had a good opportunity to try and ease the tension just now, yet you…”
In the camp of the Mithril Alliance, Joseph and a few of the patriarchs all had miserable and gloomy expressions as they discussed the problems they would face next. Of course, after the fruitless discussion, Joseph definitely got blamed by everyone again. However, he couldn’t say anything, since he was the leader of the alliance now.
The advantages would be shared amongst everyone, but he would be the only one to blame if things were to go awry. Wasn’t that inhumane? At this moment, Joseph finally understood why the Caesar Family had withdrawn from the Mithril Alliance.
Elvis raised his hand to suppress the crowd and stop them from talking. He turned around to stare at Joseph with cloudy eyes, and said, “Joseph, this matter should not be delayed. You should settle it soon. Otherwise, the Mithril Alliance will really be wiped out from the Breezy Plains.”
Joseph knew very well in his heart that Lin Li would definitely become the leader of the expedition since he had already entered the Sanctuary-realm. If the Mithril Alliance were to go on with the expedition, they would undoubtedly be pushed straight to the front as cannon fodder. However, if the Mithril Alliance were to ask to withdraw at this time, they might end up getting attacked by Lin Li. Even though Lin Li was a beginner to the Sanctuary-realm, his power was definitely unparalleled. Besides, his team had been greatly weakened.
“I’ll find a way,” Joseph said with much difficulty.
The Tower of Dusk’s camp was nothing like a makeshift camp, unlike those of the other teams. There was a staggered array of tents, and almost everyone could rest in the tents, whereas in the other teams, only the leaders could rest in the tents, while the subordinates had to rest in open air around campfires. The tents were actually not worth that much money, but other than Lin Li who had the Ring of Endless Storm, the members of the teams did not have much storage capacity. Even if they had space-related magical items, they used them for storing precious items that would keep them alive.
Given the near-infinite space of the Ring of Endless Storm, Lin Li would have no problem storing a castle in it, let alone a bunch of tents. In fact, Lin Li had even thought about building a large house and storing it in his Ring of Endless Storm, for that would be much more comfortable than tents.
Of course, that was just a random thought. At this moment, Lin Li was seated in a tent and using the limited recuperation time to flip through the Book of Eternity, hoping to strengthen the foundation of his realm as soon as he could. He wanted to be more powerful when facing the three souls that Sindera had mentioned.
Lin Li was carefully trying to figure out some of the experiences in the Sanctuary-realm that Geresco had mentioned in the Book of Eternity. All of a sudden, someone outside the tent reported that Claus from the Caesar Family wanted to see him for something. Hence, Lin Li agreed and invited him to enter, though he did not put down the Book of Eternity in his hand.
In the past, Lin Li had never taken out the Book of Eternity in front of others. After all, no matter where he was, he should never flaunt his wealth. There was a difference between hearsay and witnessing something with one’s own eyes. If things were to go wrong, someone might covet his items, and that wouldn’t be a good thing. However, now that he had successfully entered the Sanctuary-realm, and become one of the top existences of the world, he naturally wouldn’t have those concerns and scruples anymore.
“Master Felic, you never forget to study magic whenever you can. It’s no wonder that you’ve stepped into the Sanctuary-realm at such a young age. You’re really admirable. Compared to you, I’ve simply lived in vain at my age. I’m really ashamed.” As soon as Claus entered the tent, he showered Lin Li with compliments, and he did not behave like the patriarch of the top family of the Breezy Plains at all.
Upon hearing Claus’ compliments, Lin Li blushed a little and put the Book of Eternity aside. He said, “Patriarch Claus, please have a seat. What brings you here at this time?”
After Claus returned to arrange for the team to rest, he had a discussion with the elders of the family. They mainly talked about how to get along with the Tower of Dusk in the future. None of the so-called top forces in the Breezy Plains could rival a Sanctuary powerhouse at all. One could imagine the major changes that would happen to the forces of the Breezy Plains after the news leaked out.
After several encounters, Claus could somewhat feel that the attitude of that President of the Tower of Dusk did not seem to imply any intention of blaming him and his family for the previous conflicts. After all, the Caesar Family didn’t go overboard or cross the bottom line of business practices previously, unlike the Mithril Alliance which resorted to unscrupulous means.
However, neither Claus nor the elders of the Caesar Family were satisfied with that. The current relationship between the Caesar Family and the Tower of Dusk was a temporary partnership of interests at best. Once they left the mausoleum, everyone would go their own way and pretend that nothing had happened.
However, that wouldn’t do, because it was a good opportunity to forge some ties with a strong Sanctuary powerhouse. It would be a complete waste if he did not seize it, and allowed the two forces to go their separate ways in the future. Be it Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine or the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council, none of the Sanctuary powerhouses of Anril could be easily approached by a force like the Caesar Family. It would be even harder to make a connection.
Yet, a new Sanctuary powerhouse was now born before his eyes, and in terms of state of mind, Lin Li had yet to reach a state where he perceived everyone below the Sanctuary-realm as insignificant ants, unlike the old fogies who had lived for thousands of years. Lin Li’s power was beyond that of ordinary people, but he still had the mindset of a mortal. He would still be affected by the behavior of the small fries. That was definitely the best opportunity to make some connections with him.
If they were to wait until they left the place, it would basically be impossible to speak to Lin Li the Sanctuary powerhouse again, even though the Caesar Family was the top family of the Breezy Plains. A Sanctuary powerhouse was a Sanctuary powerhouse. Insignificant figures were insignificant figures. If it weren’t coincidental, a Sanctuary powerhouse wouldn’t pay attention to a few insignificant figures.
