Chapter 1277: Sincerity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Elder Zumar couldn’t help but remember how he had been brainstorming to devise a scheme against Lin Li back in the Breezy Plains in the beginning. However, Lin Li had now not only given the Illuminati great help, he was also valued greatly by the Octopus Clan and the Siren Clan.

Lin Li didn’t waste much time with the Siren Clan. After attending the welcome banquet of the Siren Clan, he went straight to the point by mentioning the deal between the two parties. The Siren Clan naturally couldn’t wait to use the Heart of All Evil, and thus they didn’t exchange a lot of pleasantries with Lin Li, and simply took out the mageweath of the Heart of All Evil.

However, in the face of the mageweath blueprint that the Siren Clan had gone through painstaking means to obtain, Lin Li simply gave Prince Cleve a list of materials required for the mageweath without looking at the blueprint at all. After asking Prince Cleve to prepare the materials, he gathered all the inscribers such as Harquess, and began assigning tasks to them.

Harquess and the others did not expect that they would have the opportunity to learn about drawing mageweaths from Lin Li. They weren’t fools, and had been repeatedly instructed by their elders not to behave disrespectfully even though they were usually arrogant and snobbish, so they knew how they should act now. Furthermore, no one dared to disobey Lin Li under the watchful eye of the prince, Harquess.

Hence, after hearing Lin Li’s instructions, the young inscription geniuses immediately became as attentive as elementary school students.. In fact, they could barely conceal their excitement, which was written all over their faces. Of course, Lin Li didn’t just assign them to laborious tasks. While assigning the tasks, he naturally explained to them some problems that they faced in inscription and cleared their doubts lest they ended up messing up.

After half a day, Prince Cleve had prepared all the materials required for the mageweath, while Harquess and the other inscribers had also begun carrying out their respective tasks in the Siren Clan’s palace according to Lin Li’s instructions.

Prince Cleve was a little worried to see the situation. Even though the Octopus Clan’s foundation was in inscription, these young clansmen were ultimately only intermediate-level and advanced-level inscribers.

The Siren Clan had invited Lin Li to come over and help them because he was a Guru of Inscription. However, if the Octopus Clan’s inscribers were doing all the work, it wouldn’t make a difference even if they didn’t invite Lin Li here. Although Prince Cleve couldn’t bring himself to ask about it straightforwardly, he couldn’t help but tactfully ask Lin Li, “President Felic, can they handle the task?”

Lin Li didn’t blame Prince Cleve for being doubtful, and instead confidently said, “Your Highness, please don’t worry, they are just doing some basic work. After all, it would be too time-consuming for me to work alone on the mageweath that I’ve envisioned. With their level of competency in inscription, they are fully capable of carrying out these processes without errors. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be worthy of being members of the Octopus Clan.”

While Harquess and the others were doing the basic drawing of the mageweath, Lin Li went on a tour in Starry Crescent City in Prince Cleve’s company. Starry Crescent City was known to be the icon of art among the Sea Clans. Of course, during the tour, he had to talk to Prince Cleve about the previous deal that they had agreed on, which was regarding the purchase of the Siren’s Tears.

In order to make Lin Li put in more effort into the mageweath, the Sea Clan had not only promised to provide him with the Siren’s Tears, they had also offered the treasure of the Siren’s Tears, the Queen’s Tears, which was a collection of teardrops left behind by the successive generations of Siren Queens. However, the number of Queen’s Tears left was rather limited because they had accumulated no more than 100 drops of Queen’s Tears over the tens of thousands of years that the Siren Clan had existed for.

Of course, compared to the relatively ordinary Siren’s Tears, the effects of using the Queen’s Tears during the preparation of a potion were absolutely beyond imagination. The potions used for enhancing mental strength were extremely incredible in the first place. After being augmented with the Queen’s Tears, such potions would enable a Legendary powerhouse to have Sanctuary-level mental strength, which could probably be considered a godly means.

With the efforts of more than 30 Octopus Clan inscribers, it only took three days for the foundation of the mageweath to be completed. Lin Li then began adding some finishing touches to the mageweath. Although he seemed to be just carrying out a simple process of connecting the various mageweaths together with a crystal pen, the mana fluctuations that emanated from the mageweaths as each one was connected made more and more people feel frightened, as if there was a terrifying beast hidden in the palace.

After Lin Li finished drawing the last stroke, the entire mageweath suddenly flickered with light, and the magical fluctuations suddenly turned into another extreme as it was now full of a holy aura. The holy aura kept spreading around and engulfing Starry Crescent City, rejuvenating everyone in the city.

The Siren Clan had spent hundreds of millions of gold coins to obtain the Heart of All Evil, and the mageweath blueprint that could exert the power of the Heart of All Evil was naturally not an ordinary item. However, when Lin Li started drawing the mageweath, he completely ignored the mageweath’s blueprint, which made Cleve feel rather anxious.

However, since he was the one who invited Lin Li, and didn’t have much knowledge in inscription himself, Prince Cleve had no choice but to suppress his worries while hoping that Lin Li wouldn’t disappoint him.

The moment the unprecedented holy aura emerged from the center of the palace, the worry in Prince Cleve’s heart finally dissipated. Although he did not know anything about inscription, he could still feel from the aura that this mageweath was several times stronger than the mageweath he’d drawn.

The Heart of All Evil was formed by an accumulation of filth over countless years, but it possessed the ability to suppress all the evil filth in the world. That was also the reason that the Siren Clan didn’t mind paying such a huge price to outbid the competitors for the Heart of All Evil.

At this moment, the power of the Heart of All Evil was almost completely triggered by the mageweath, and had even formed a holy Domain World in Starry Crescent City. Everyone felt an unprecedented fullness in their mental strength in this Domain World, while the power of their body was fully replenished, as if their souls and physical bodies had been fully baptized by the sacred power.

After sensing the power, everyone in Starry Crescent City got into a huge uproar. The majority of the Siren Clansmen and other clans were still unaware of what happened here, but Queen Halleleah and the other upper echelons of the Siren Clan knew very clearly that the complementary mageweath of the Heart of All Evil had been completed.

Soon, under the lead of Queen Hallelujah, the numerous higher-ups of the Siren Clan arrived in the center of the palace, where the Heart of All Evil was placed. However, when they arrived, they were greeted with a strange sight. Apart from Lin Li, who was standing next to the Heart of All Evil rather relaxedly, the young inscribers of the Octopus Clan seemed to have been frozen in place by a spell as they were staring at the glistening mageweath with deadpan expressions.

For the young inscribers of the Octopus Clan, Lin Li’s method of drawing mageweaths was completely beyond their comprehension and inscription knowledge. They totally didn’t expect that the most basic-level mageweaths they had drawn in the past two days would actually be connected to form a mageweath array that they had never seen with a few strokes of Lin Li’s pen.

In fact, Lin Li had used this drawing method a long time ago in the Tower of Dusk too. At that time, the Tower of Dusk had just been built, and the Supreme Council had sent their senior inscriber, Moke, to help draw some mageweaths for the Tower of Dusk. However, Lin Li had not chosen to have any advanced-level mageweaths drawn in the tower, and instead had just asked Moke to draw 10 rather low-level Doom Mageweaths.

When Moke had been done, Lin Li had connected the 10 Doom Mageweaths that Moke had drawn into an All-Kill Array, which had given the condescending and proud Moke a great shock.

The young inscribers of the Octopus Clan were now just as frightened by the finishing touches that Lin Li had added to the mageweath with his pen. It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen a mageweath array before, but rather that such a method of drawing had never crossed their minds. Besides, they couldn’t believe that the foundation of such a powerful mageweath array was created by them.

After a long time, the inscribers finally recovered from their shock, and their eyes were now full of desire and admiration as they gazed at Lin Li. They were considered the geniuses of the Octopus Clan, and were usually extremely arrogant and conceited. The only reason they didn’t dare to display their haughtiness in the past few days was partly because of the instructions given by the elders in the clan, and also partly because the prince, Harquess, was keeping an eye on them.

However, after watching the large and complex mageweath array in front of them that had been completed in a way that they had never seen before, the young inscribers really no longer had any doubts about Lin Li. In fact, they even began to perceive Lin Li as someone who was as great and noble as a god.

At this moment, Queen Halleleah and her husband, Prince Cleve, already quickly strode towards Lin Li along with the higher-ups of the Siren Clan. Trying their best to suppress their excitement, they asked Lin Li about the state of the mageweath. Although they could already feel the enormous power emanating from this mageweath, they still wanted to hear a confirmation straight from the horse’s mouth.

“Master Felic, this mageweath is now complete, right?” Prince Cleve asked on behalf of his wife, as well as the senior members of the Siren Clan, the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Seeing that the members of the Siren Clan had their eyes glued to him, Lin Li felt a little amused. He nodded, and said, “Yes, it has been completed, but it’s not the Sacred Heart Mageweath that’s pictured on your blueprint, but a mageweath that I’ve come up with on the fly. It should be able to better exert and optimize the power of the Heart of All Evil. I believe you guys have felt it.”

After hearing Lin Li’s words, the members of the Siren Clan nodded. Even a fool would be able to feel the power that Starry Crescent City was now shrouded in. The power was completely beyond their expectations, and they didn’t dare to think about it at all.

Of course, this also made the people of the Siren Clan even more determined to form a good relationship with Lin Li. After all, no one dared to say that the Siren Clan would no longer need the help of inscribers in the future. Being able to befriend an inscriber like Lin Li would definitely be of great benefit to the Siren Clan.

The Siren Clan was initially prepared to host Lin Li and the others with their utmost sincerity, but for Lin Li, the purpose of his trip here was nothing more than to fulfill his end of the deal with the Siren Clan. Hence, he wouldn’t waste any more time here after the deal was completed.

Thus, after teaching Queen Halleleah some methods to control and maintain the mageweath, Lin Li bade farewell to them.

After thanking the Siren Clan for their hospitality, Lin Li took the young inscribers of the Octopus Clan on board The Star, and headed for Four Seasons Island in the Gilded Kingdom. The massive vessel, The Star, sailed through the sea at the speed of lightning, leaving behind a long water line that seemed to have really severed the sea into two.

When The Star sailed into Helena Port on Four Seasons Island, the festive atmosphere of Helena Port, or rather the entire island, reached its peak like a volcano that was about to erupt. The change in atmosphere was due to the impending highlight of the Gilded Kingdom’s founding celebration.

Lin Li’s real purpose in coming to the Gilded Kingdom was not to participate in the Gilded Kingdom’s founding celebration, but to take the opportunity to handle some matters here, such as tracking down the Immortal King’s traces, buying some items that could not be found easily on the mainland, and making some deals with the Octopus Clan. Strictly speaking, the value of the Gilded Kingdom’s founding celebration was even lower than that of the magic materials that Lin Li could get from the Sea Market.

However, considering the relationship with the Gilded Kingdom, Lin Li decided to do them the honor of attending the celebration, even though they had had some unpleasant encounters with each other. After all, the Gilded Kingdom had handled the conflict in a manner that was considered satisfactory to Lin Li. Moreover, Lin Li also planned to buy a batch of Magical Crystal Cannons from the Gilded Kingdom, and equip the Sky Castle and The Star with them.

Fortunately, the day of the celebration was just round the corner, and even if Lin Li wasn’t willing to waste any more time here, he still had a few days to spare. Hence, after making arrangements for The Star, he brought the crowd back to the Tower of Dusk’s embassy to wait for the day of the celebration to arrive.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

On this day, Lin Li was still giving pointers to the inscribers of the Octopus Clan when a mage, who was one of his subordinates, came in from outside to report to him that the Foreign Affairs Minister of the Gilded Kingdom, Jefferson, arrived.

After explaining the questions to the inscribers of the Octopus Clan, Lin Li finally said, “Alright, go reflect on these questions on your own. That’s all for today.”

Harquess and the others hurriedly stood up like elementary school kids getting off class to see their teacher, Lin Li, off. When Lin Li walked out of the room, they sat down again, and began to discuss the questions that they had talked about just now.

After Lin Li drew the mageweath array for the Siren Clan, they were already convinced of Lin Li’s attainments in inscription, so no one dared to belittle him at all. After Lin Li officially began to explain and answer their questions about inscription, they genuinely regarded Lin Li as their most respected teacher from the bottom of their hearts.
