Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 1290 - Want To Start A War? 

Regardless of what choice they made, it would be very difficult for the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, the ministers of the Gilded Kingdom had another heated discussion about how much money they should charge Lin Li.

While the discussion was still ongoing because they had yet to reach a consensus, the royal guards outside the palace came to report that the envoy of the Tower of Dusk had come forth to see Bradlor.

The person from the Tower of Dusk was the deputy head of the Tower of Dusk’s Mage Legion, Dorick. At the same time, he also brought an Amethyst Card that was meant for transactions.

Lin Li had long thought that the Gilded Kingdom would definitely fret over the price of the Magical Crystal Cannons. Hence, he didn’t wait for Prince Monterey to return, and simply sent the amethyst card over.

Lin Li wasn’t short of money. The Mount Tai mageweath scroll was sold for more than 400,000,000 gold coins, and the Tower of Dusk had plenty of gold coins to spare too. Thus, buying more than 2,000 Magical Crystal Cannons was not a problem at all. Therefore, he didn’t bother waiting for the Gilded Kingdom to reach a consensus, because God knew how long that would take..

Lin Li’s approach was to give the Gilded Kingdom a tough problem to solve. Of course, he was forcing them to come to a decision. Since he had already brought the money over, there was nothing else for them to discuss except for the price anymore.

Dorick had also told Bradlor and the others what Lin Li’s intentions were, and that was to just let them charge him the price that they should without considering the cost price or any other factors.

After some hypocritical refusal, Bradlor accepted the amethyst card that Dorick had brought over. The price that they had charged for the Magical Crystal Cannons was also slightly higher than before. Of course, to the Gilded Kingdom, even if they had charged a higher price, there were still some losses that couldn’t be made up for, though it was still much better than selling at the cost price.

After Lin Li completed the deal with the Gilded Kingdom, he turned up to bid Bradlor goodbye. Although Bradlor had yet to recover from the shock, he nevertheless held a grand farewell ceremony for Lin Li.

Besides, the farewell ceremony was clearly different from the previous welcome ceremony, as almost everyone was genuinely elated to finally be sending the fiendish Lin Li away!

During the time Lin Li was in the Gilded Kingdom, Lin Li had first put the Gilded Kingdom to shame twice, which made them learn their lesson and discipline their juniors sternly. Thus, those juniors had had a hard time facing the music. Now that Lin Li was finally leaving, they no longer had to live fearfully on tenterhooks. How could they not be elated?

On the other hand, Lin Li had had a fruitful trip. Not only did he get plenty of answers about the Immortal King, his strength and attainment in inscription had also increased greatly. At the same time, he also got to purchase more than 2,000 Magical Crystal Cannons from the Gilded Kingdom. To him, there was no longer anything in the Gilded Kingdom that was worth staying for.

With a loud and long roar, the large ship, The Star, slowly sailed out of Helena Port, and gradually disappeared on the horizon where the sea and sky met while Bradlor and the others watched them leave.

Bradlor finally let out a long sigh; at the same time, many ministers behind him made the same sound in unison. After Lin Li left, all the members of the Gilded Kingdom heaved a sigh of relief because the finally didn’t have to worry about accidentally provoking Lin Li.

Lin Li and the members of the Tower of Dusk were not the only ones on The Star, as the representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains all returned together with Lin Li.

At this moment, they were all grinning widely, and marveling at the generosity and hospitality of the Gilded Kingdom while looking at Four Seasons Island that was disappearing out of sight. Due to Lin Li’s relationship with the Gilded Kingdom, they had also negotiated with the Gilded Kingdom, and reached plenty of business cooperation agreements, which allowed them to make a huge profit.

The Star was sailing fast along the route towards the Breezy Plains, but just after it left the waters of the Gilded Kingdom, it suddenly changed its course, and sailed in a different direction on Lin Li’s orders.

The people of the Breezy Plains were initially rather puzzled, but no one asked Lin Li for the reason. They thought about how The Star had deviated from its course during their journey to Four Seasons Island, and they’d ended up harvesting a large amount of precious treasures and ocean specialties thanks to that. Hence, they wondered if it would have the same outcome again this time.

However, soon the people on board The Star knew the reason for Lin Li’s actions. Just after The Star changed course and sailed for less than half an hour, an island appeared in front of it. The crowd couldn’t get a clear glimpse of what there was on the island, but they saw the army of a Sea Clan surrounding the island.

The Sea Clan army that surrounded the island had also discovered The Star at this point, and immediately moved towards it.

Seeing how aggressive the army was, a few representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains stood out in a bid to explain to the army on behalf of Lin Li lest they got into a conflict due to a misunderstanding. They had all lowered themselves and put themselves in the right place now, especially after their experiences in the Gilded Kingdom. They had become even more determined to take Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk as their superior.

Hence, at this moment, the representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains no longer considered themselves as guests of The Star, and instead willingly acted as Lin Li’s subordinates. Hence, as subordinates, it was naturally their job to communicate with the Sea Clan’s army, and Lin Li didn’t have to intervene at all.

However, before Claus and the others said anything, Lin Li, who was standing on the deck, reached out, pointed his finger forward, and swung it in the air, opening a rift between the sea and the sky. It was just like the giant mouth of a ferocious beast. Immediately afterwards, the Sea Clan army that was moving towards The Star couldn’t help but move into the rift before vanishing in the darkness within.

Seeing this scene, Claus and the others were dumbstruck as they wondered what was wrong with Lin Li, and why he had struck before the Sea Clan even responded. What if it was just something that could be explained verbally, they thought. Although they had long known that Lin Li had always refused to suffer any losses, the other party had yet to do anything offensive, after all.

However, after exterminating the army of the Sea Clan that had welcomed them, and as The Star gradually approached the island, the scene on that island became clearer and clearer to the crowd. That allowed Claus and the others to finally understand why The Star suddenly changed course and the reason for Lin Li’s mercilessness.

The area of the island wasn’t that large, and was probably only about a few square kilometers. There were bulging hills and sparse trees. In the center of the island, there were 100 or so smaller and vulnerable Sea Clan members, each with a conch hung in front of their chests. They were the Bellerophon Clan who had bought the Coral Staff at the auction previously.

The Bellerophon Clan members all seemed chagrined and furious as they looked at the army surrounding the island with some faint despair in their eyes. There was a sanguine cloud floating in the air, with the vampire Norfeller standing in the middle, his bat wings open and covered with dark golden patterns.

Since he was more interested in the abilities of the Bellerophon Clan, Lin Li told Norfeller to secretly keep an eye on the people of the Bellerophon Clan after the auction was over. If nothing happened, Lin Li would soon send someone to make a formal contact with the Bellerophon Clan before negotiating a business cooperation.

However, the Bellerophon Clan had clearly gotten into trouble this time, so Norfeller had no choice but to walk out lest he allowed the Bellerophons, which Lin Li was interested in, to be killed.

However, Norfeller was a Sanctuary-level vampire and a top assassin of Anril at the moment, and what an assassin was best at was assassination, not protection. If Norfeller was alone, he would still be able to come and go as he pleased even if there were 10 times more military units against him. In fact, it wouldn’t be impossible to destroy all the enemies.

However, Norfeller wasn’t alone now, and he had even brought along a bunch of Bellerophons who didn’t have any combat power. Although they would be a good military force, they didn’t have any direct lethal power. Thus, it wouldn’t be easy for Norfeller to protect them.

Besides, the Sea Clan army that surrounded the island was the Sea Serpent Clan that had failed to bid for the Coral Staff. The Sea Serpent Clan could be considered the natural assassins of the Sea Clans. Purely in terms of their talent in assassinating, they might not be comparable to vampires, but they definitely wouldn’t be far off.

Although such a characteristic had caused the Sea Serpent Clan’s army to suffer some losses in a face-on battle, and they could only be considered the lowest among the ranks of the seven overlords, the fact that they could become one of the seven overlords meant that they had considerable competency.

The scene that Norfeller was now facing was equivalent to facing the siege of tens of thousands of assassins, and he even had to take care of the Bellerophons who had no fighting ability. The Bellerophons not only couldn’t provide any help to Norfeller, they even limited his abilities and performance to a certain extent.

After The Star set off, Lin Li found out about Norfeller’s situation through soul contact. Thus, he immediately made the ship change direction.

Now that he knew the reason for this matter, Lin Li naturally did not bother to talk much to the Sea Serpent Clan, and thus he exterminated a team of Sea Serpents as soon as he struck.

With the extermination of the Sea Serpent clansmen, the Sea Serpent Clan generals who were in command of this operation immediately knew that they were in big trouble.

The Sea Serpent Clan’s elite actually wasn’t there to snatch the Coral Staff from the Bellerophons. After all, the Coral Staff, which contained the secret of life, was too important for species like them with short lives. However, due to the fact that they didn’t know of Norfeller’s existence, none of the people they sent had returned. They had really suffered a double loss.

That was why the Sea Serpent Clan deployed the elites of their clan this time. With two Sanctuary-level elders to watch over them, they were confident and ambitious to get the Coral Staff.

The situation seemed rather successful at first, and even though the Sea Serpent Clan couldn’t do anything to the Sanctuary-level Vampire, Norfeller, things were obviously developing in the direction that was favorable to them. However, Lin Li’s The Star suddenly appeared at this juncture.

However, the Coral Staff was too important to the Sea Serpent Clan, and even though they had heard all the legends about Lin Li, they couldn’t bring themselves to give it up. Hence, after they got the news, they first sent a team to block The Star in hopes of buying some time.

However, the two elders of the Sea Serpent Clan did not expect that Lin Li would destroy their team immediately without showing them any mercy. The two elders were instantly enraged, and they ordered their subordinates to intensify the siege on the island while closing in on The Star.

“Which one of you is President Felic? I want an explanation!”

Caradio, one elder of the Sea Serpent Clan, was holding a silver sword in his hand and standing on the waves while looking at The Star, which was near him. The other elder, Yarros, vanished halfway through, as if he had merged into the water vapor above the sea.

The two of them thought that since Lin Li, the president of the Tower of Dusk, was also merely a Sanctuary powerhouse like them, they would be able to cooperate well and take down Lin Li.

Although Lin Li’s high attainment in the field of inscription was no secret in the Endless Ocean, the drawing of mageweaths still required a certain amount of time, as with casting magic spells and chanting incantations. Lin Li didn’t display his competency in magic during his stay in the Gilded Kingdom, so no one knew about it.

Assassins were good at launching surprise attacks, and wouldn’t give their opponents any time to react. Thus, they could be considered the natural nemesis of mages. The two elders of the Sea Serpent Clan could be considered Sanctuary-level assassins, and they thought it should be effortless to deal with a Sanctuary Master with mediocre strength.

However, when Elder Caradio was still thinking of ways to create opportunities for his peer, Lin Li had no intention of speaking to him at all. Instead, he raised the Helios’ Scepter, and swept it gently to the side.

With Lin Li’s effortless action, The Star seemed to have solidified while hovering in midair. Immediately afterwards, the hidden Sea Serpent Clan elder gradually appeared.

If Lin Li had merely forced someone in stealth to reveal himself, it probably wouldn’t have been considered an incredible feat, and Lin Li would at most have been considered to have senses that were sharp enough for him to see those who were concealed. However, the Sea Serpent Clan elder who had been forced out was a Sanctuary powerhouse, and yet he was frozen in midair and rendered immobile like an insect.

“Felic, do you want to go to war with the Sea Serpent Clan!?” Elder Caradio was astounded and frightened to see that. While speaking, he waved the sword in his hand, and prepared to go forward to rescue his companion.

However, in response to Caradio’s threat, Lin Li merely sneered without casting any magic spells. He merely flicked his hand in the direction of the Sea Serpent Clan’s Sanctuary powerhouse who was restrained. Immediately afterwards, the crisp sound of glass breaking could be heard in the space, which was suddenly divided into pieces. As the space shattered, the Sanctuary powerhouse of the Sea Serpent Clan shattered too.
