Chapter 1060 - Reason

Chapter 1060: Reason

How can it be like this? It doesn’t make sense! Cantory yelled inwardly. He even felt a little dizzy as he couldn’t believe his ears at all. After saying so much, he still didn’t get Lin Li’s nod of approval, yet now it came unexpectedly.

Did he just agree to help so quickly? Could it be that this president of the Tower of Dusk is really a kind-hearted person who likes to help others?

However, after snapping out of his shock, Cantory also immediately figured out that Lin Li was not helping others out of kindness, but was simply trying to give himself more reason to bargain for more during the negotiation later. During a cooperation, they would have an equal status. However, by asking for help, Cantory would clearly be putting himself and the Gilded Kingdom in a position that was lower than the Tower of Dusk’s. Although the party that was requesting for help could not give everything the other party wanted, he had no rights to bargain.

At this moment, Lin Li did not mention any conditions to Cantory. Instead, he reached his hand out into the air to open up a deep spatial rift.

Seeing that Lin Li had casually formed a spatial rift in the air, Cantory was immediately dumbfounded. Even though he only had Legendary strength, he had naturally interacted with genuine Sanctuary powerhouses before since he was a disciple of the Illuminati. Initially, he always thought that Lin Li, the incredibly young Sanctuary powerhouse, definitely relied on the magic tides to become a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse, just like Elvis of the Mithril Alliance and the others.

Although a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse was also a Sanctuary powerhouse, the former was far inferior, and they might never progress any further in the future. That was the very reason that Cantory, who had already reached the peak of the Legendary-realm, did not take the chance to break through to the Sanctuary-realm.

At the same time, that was also the reason that Cantory did not take Lin Li, the Sanctuary powerhouse who was about his age, too seriously. In his opinion, he himself might be weaker than pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, but he would definitely surpass them in the future.

However, an unbelievable conjecture immediately popped up in Cantory’s mind when he saw Lin Li casually cutting out a spatial rift in the air. He remembered that his teacher once said that among all the Laws, the Space Laws might not be the most difficult to comprehend, but they were definitely the most difficult to master. In order to fully master the Space Laws, the most basic and important ability one had to have was that of creating his own Domain World. That was also something that even genuine Sanctuary powerhouses might not be able to do.

Impossible! He’s so young! How can he step into the Sanctuary-realm based on his talent!? Cantory was known to be a genius in the Gilded Kingdom where he was called the best among the younger generation. Even his teacher, the priest of the Illuminati, had sung high praises for his talent. He had always believed that even in Anril, he was definitely the most talented. Hence, he definitely didn’t believe that there would actually be someone who was even more talented in him in such a barbaric and backward place like Anril.

Is that some kind of magical equipment? After some careful search, Cantory suddenly realized that the magic robe that Lin Li was wearing was emitting an obscure fluctuation of Space Laws. That discovery made his eyes light up. I knew it, how can someone in his early twenties master the power that even ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses can’t master? That magic robe must be the reason!

Indeed, Felic has even obtained the Sky Castle, he might just have been able to get some precious magical equipment from in there! At the thought of this, Cantory finally regained some confidence in his own talent. At the same time, he had even greater disdain for Lin Li’s decision to open the spatial rift in the sky. In his opinion, Lin Li’s purpose in doing so was obviously to show off his strength, but he felt that there was nothing to show off, because he relied on magical equipment!

“Envoy Cantory, are you ready to go?” Lin Li stood in front of the spatial rift and turned to face Cantory whose face was gradually becoming more radiant.

“Yes, we can set off anytime.” He regained his confidence proudly, and immediately felt much more relieved. He vaguely seemed to be raising his chin again.

Cantory’s change made Lin Li feel a bit puzzled, but he did not take it to heart, and instead directly stepped into the spatial rift. Although Cantory looked hesitant, he nonetheless bit the bullet and entered.

When he stepped out of the spatial rift, Cantory found himself in the tiny Rafa City where the Cartia Family was. It was also the same place where he met with the representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains. After some calculation, Cantory knew that it only took him a few minutes to get to that place from the Tower of Dusk through the spatial rift.

However, he had already determined that it was the power of that magic robe that allowed Lin Li to do it. Although the incredible moving speed was indeed amazing, Cantory didn’t feel too shocked. He didn’t even turn around to look at the spatial rift that was gradually closing. Smiling smugly as usual, he walked towards Lin Li, and said, “President Felic, the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains are now in Rafa City. Let’s discuss the matter of Cage Island together.”

In the conference hall of the Cartia Family in Rafa City, the representatives who were already ready to return to their respective forces headed back to the hall in disbelief after receiving the news. To them, the news was rather unexpected because everyone knew that the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom were in a hostile relationship, so would the conscientious president of the Tower of Dusk really help the Tower of Dusk’s team?

After the representatives of the various forces were seated in the conference hall, Lin Li entered under Cantory’s lead. After Lin Li appeared, the conference hall, which was still a bit noisy, suddenly fell silent. Almost everyone was surprised, and their jaws dropped as their bodies stiffened like clay statues. They watched as Lin Li slowly moved over.

Seriously? That Cantory actually managed to invite President Felic here! Haven’t they always shared a hostile relationship? In the opinion of the representatives of the various forces, the Tower of Dusk was probably the force that was the least likely to help the Gilded Kingdom in the Breezy Plains.

The entry of the Gilded Kingdom into the Breezy Plains had obviously affected the position of the Tower of Dusk. During the previous negotiations, the Tower of Dusk had also attacked the battleships of the Gilded Kingdom, and even revealed that they were at odds with each other. Although the negotiations ended successfully, everyone knew that the peace was only temporary. Soon, there would definitely be a conflict between the two forces again.

That was also the reason that they decided to use the Tower of Dusk as a shield when they were being coerced by Cantory. They even said that they would follow the Tower of Dusk’s decisions. They had originally thought that with the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom, the Tower of Dusk would definitely not agree to help the Gilded Kingdom. Then, they would have an appropriate excuse to stay out of the matter.

However, they had not expected to see President Felic of the Tower of Dusk there. Besides, it did not look like he had come to make things worse for the Gilded Kingdom. That was completely beyond their previous expectations. This time, if the Tower of Dusk’s president agreed to Cantory’s request, they would no longer have a reason to refute, unless they went all out to fall out with the Gilded Kingdom.

Everyone watched as Lin Li walked towards the middle of the conference hall without showing any intentions to discuss with them. He straightaway said, “Alright, there is nothing much to talk about now. Relay the news and inform the leaders of your forces to make a trip here.”

Lin Li’s words caused their hopes to be completely dashed. Everyone knew that Lin Li was referring to the hidden powerhouses like Elvis and the others. They didn’t think that the young president of the Tower of Dusk would want the hidden powerhouses of those forces to come here just for a chat.

After saying that, Lin Li didn’t say anything more, and instead turned around to leave the conference hall. When he finally vanished from their sight, everyone immediately got into an uproar, and began discussing Lin Li’s appearance. They couldn’t understand how the arrogant Cantory managed to convince the Tower of Dusk’s president to intervene despite their hostile relationship.

However, regardless of whether they could figure it out or not, none of these people dared to take Lin Li’s words lightly. After all, they didn’t know what would happen if they offended the Gilded Kingdom, but they were well aware of what would happen if they offended the Tower of Dusk. The reason that they agreed to the Gilded Kingdom’s request for help was most likely because of interests. Perhaps the Gilded Kingdom held some secrets about Cage Island, and maybe there was really something wonderful there.

After the fruitless discussion, they did not dare to delay any longer. After all, they were only the representatives of their respective forces, so they could not really decide on this matter. Hence, after leaving the conference hall, they immediately relayed the news to the leaders of their respective forces through various means.

Looking at the empty conference hall, Cantory was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions, partly because he had completed the task that Elder Zumar gave him and found some help for the Gilded Kingdom, and he felt relieved and overjoyed; on the other hand, he could also tell from the scene just now that the young president of the Tower of Dusk commanded a lot of authority in the Breezy Plains, so he was rather jealous and resentful.

As the esteemed envoy of the Gilded Kingdom and the proud disciple of the Illuminati, he actually had less influence than the leader of a minor local force. That made Cantory feel incredibly upset. At the same time, he had also gotten a clear understanding that the Tower of Dusk was going to be an obstacle to the Gilded Kingdom’s development in the Breezy Plains, and one that could not be overcome.

However, Cantory was not very worried about that problem, because he was already certain that the young president of the Tower of Dusk was only a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse. In his opinion, as long as Elder Zumar intervened, it would be a piece of cake for them to deal with a Sanctuary powerhouse who had relied on external forces to enter the Sanctuary-realm.

In less than half a day’s time, the hidden forces who had received the news rushed to the small Rafa City without delay. They were not like Cantory, who thought that Lin Li was just a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse. They could not say that they were very clear about Lin Li’s true power, but they definitely had firsthand experience with it.

Those people were pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses themselves, and they naturally had a more realistic perception of Lin Li’s strength. They could completely feel the huge gap between Lin Li’s strength and their own. However, regardless of whether they knew what Cantory was thinking, no one would remind him.

The first to see Lin Li were Elvis, Abrad, and Rojet, the three Sanctuary powerhouses. After bowing to Lin Li, the first question Elvis asked was exactly what everyone was doubting, and that was why Lin Li had agreed to Cantory’s request. Even after entering the Sanctuary-realm, Elvis still found Lin Li’s decision to be incredible. Could it be that Sanctuary powerhouses just found joy in helping others?

“Master Felic, the Gilded Kingdom did not communicate with any of us beforehand regarding this matter of Cage Island. Why did you still agree to come and help them? Wouldn’t it be better to let them die on Cage Island!?” Elvis exclaimed, filled with anger at the thought of what the Gilded Kingdom had done to them at Port Tim. How could he be willing to help the Gilded Kingdom?

In Elvis’s opinion, it would be much better to destroy the forces of the Gilded Kingdom directly this time. With the power of that team, it would definitely be a huge loss for them even if the Gilded Kingdom was wealthy. That would also let the arrogant people of the Gilded Kingdom know that the Breezy Plains was not a place where they could do whatever they wanted.

However, Lin Li smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, “Actually, you guys have to thank the Gilded Kingdom for this matter. If they hadn’t triggered the changes in Cage Island in advance, you guys probably wouldn’t have known what’s hidden there.”

Lin Li’s words made Elvis and the others perk up immediately as they unanimously thought, Indeed, he won’t do anything that doesn’t bring profit. He obviously knows the secrets that are hidden on Cage Island.

Although Elvis and others were not genuine Sanctuary powerhouses, they had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm after all, and so they had a good understanding of the mindset of real Sanctuary powerhouses.
