Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1110 – Small Island

When he saw that the sailors had given up on resisting, Lin Li was still a little disappointed, and was getting ready to use the Domain World to protect The Star from the storm. However, Julio's performance made Lin Li's eyes glisten. After all, Julio was a fearless man who had sailed through the Endless Ocean for many years. He wouldn't easily resign to fate in the storm. It was no wonder that he could escape from the siege of the Gilded Kingdom's fleet.

When the sailors regained their morale after being hollered at by Julio, Lin Li finally stopped worrying, and watched them steer The Star towards the periphery of the storm.

After the sailors struggled hard with all their might, coupled with the alchemical power system and powerful defenses of The Star, the vessel finally broke out of the terrifying area that was affected by the storm. When The Star's voyage became calm again, the sailors looked at the area affected by the storm behind them, which they were gradually sailing further away from, and they couldn't help but cheer in unison.

What a joke. That's the Fury of the Sea God, which has always been unheard of since the ancient times! Who can escape from it!? Apart from feeling overjoyed to have successfully escaped, the people also felt incredibly proud of themselves. Of course, they also understood that the reason they could escape in the end was mainly because The Star was too powerful. If not for The Star, they would probably not have a single chance to escape even if they wanted to.

When the sailors first boarded The Star, they didn't think that the ship had any special features, even though they were amazed by its sheer size. They even wondered if such a large steel ship would sink in the middle of the sea. After all, the quality of a ship was not decided by its size. The standards of all the ships on sea, be it merchant ships or warships, were all determined after countless tests over numerous years. Once the standard was exceeded, there would be all sorts of problems during the voyage.

However, now that the sailors had seen the power of The Star in the storm, they subconsciously developed a sense of belonging, and even had a hunch that they would be proud to be the crew of The Star in the future.

After the wind and waves around them calmed down, the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains came out of their cabins with lingering fear. Although they had long heard about how terrifying the storms on the Endless Ocean were, they had a firsthand experience this time.

At this juncture, those people couldn't help but feel thankful that they had fortunately chosen to board The Star. Otherwise, they really wouldn't know what kind of ship could still survive that terrifying storm.

“Lord, due to the storm, The Star has temporarily deviated from its course. However, please don't worry, I will pinpoint our location as soon as possible, and get The Star back on its original course.” Julio allowed the helmsman to take over the maneuvering while he went to Lin Li to report to him the situation of The Star.

Of course, the dangers they encountered in the voyage was no less than encountering a storm. Many ships which might have been lucky enough to escape a storm were lost in the vast ocean because they had deviated from their course. The so-called ghost ships that the sailors had been spreading rumors about were mostly lost on the sea. In the end, those on the ships had no choice but to die in despair, leaving the wrecked ship afloat on the sea.

Everything on the boundless ocean seemed to be the same, unlike on land where there were obvious geographical features. Hence, during such times, the experience of the navigator was very important because he had to correctly confirm the direction and position of the ship based on his rich experience. He would also have to determine the distance from the correct course, and then ultimately lead the ship back onto it.

In terms of sailing experience, no one could compare to Julio whose family had lived on the Endless Ocean for generations. Perhaps even the Gilded Kingdom, which boasted very advanced nautical technology, might not be able to produce a navigator comparable to Julio, let alone average factions.

Although Lin Li had the nautical information of the Gilded Kingdom, his knowledge of sailing was only at the theoretical level. When it came to putting it into practice, Lin Li might not be able to quickly find what he needed among the complex information.

Of course, with Lin Li's familiarity with the World Laws, it wasn't actually necessary to rely on that information in order to get The Star back on the right course. However, Lin Li wanted to see how capable Julio was, so he handed that task to the latter. Anyway, even if Julio took The Star off course, Lin Li had the confidence to remedy that.

Julio also knew that he would have to show enough value in order to get maximum protection from the Tower of Dusk from the Gilded Kingdom which had issued a warrant to have him nabbed. Otherwise, although the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom was strained, they wouldn't bother getting into any unnecessary conflict for a useless piece of trash.

Hence, after receiving Lin Li's consent, Julio went all out. He verified the direction of the tide of the ocean, the direction of the sea breeze, the sun's position, and even the type of fishes in the sea as well as the direction they swam in before finally determining the current location of The Star and the distance away from the original course.

The storm known as the Fury of the Sea God was indeed terrifying enough to be one that the sailors feared. Although The Star was safely out of the storm, Julio determined after some calculations that it was already very far from the correct course. Without a navigator as experienced as Julio, it would probably be difficult for the ship to ever return to the correct course.

After listening to Julio's report, Lin Li did not question it at all. Instead, he directly delegated the task of commanding The Star's voyage to Julio.

Although Julio remained unmoved on the surface, he was actually overjoyed because that meant that Lin Li had already recognized his ability and valued him to a certain extent. Of course, Julio wasn't certain if that was enough for him to gain the protection of the Tower of Dusk and make the Tower of Dusk offend the Gilded Kingdom for him. Hence, he could only do his best to increase his value.

Under Julio's command, The Star changed its course and headed in the direction of the correct course. However, after a night of sailing, another abnormal sight occurred the next morning. Moreover, the first to detect the abnormality were not the experienced sailors, but the guests from the various forces of the Breezy Plains who were on board The Star.

The mages on board The Star clearly felt that the flow of magic elements in space gradually accelerated since the middle of the night, and reached a terrifying level in the morning. It was as if there was a vacuum that the magical elements were rapidly flowing towards to fill it up.

As a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, Lin Li had actually felt the abnormality of the magical elements too, which made him feel extremely curious. Hence, instead of informing Julio, he intended to go to the source that triggered the abnormality to find out what was going on.

As The Star sailed, an island gradually emerged from under the sea horizon, and began to get clearer. At this juncture, even the sailors on The Star had detected the abnormality, while the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains went to the deck and looked at the island in the distance.

The island was much larger than Cage Island, and was shrouded in a thick forest which gave it a boost of vitality. What really caught everyone's attention was the local density of magical elements, which was hundreds of times higher than normal. The rapid flow of magic elements in the surrounding space was due to a powerful force of attraction on the island that seemed like a magnet that was attracting the surrounding magical elements.

Although Lin Li was more curious about what was on the island, he was not willing to let The Star approach it before getting a clear idea of the situation. After all, the Endless Ocean was not like land. Even though the Gilded Kingdom had developed in the sea for numerous years, they dared not claim to be familiar with every parcel of the Endless Ocean, let alone Lin Li who had just read some information.

Hence, for the sake of safety, Lin Li raised his hand to cast the Warlock's Eyes, and flew over the island. The Warlock's Eyes was a means of detection that was often used by the mages. It could travel to some unknown areas on behalf of the mages, and give feedback about the scene.

At the same time, those mages from various forces in the Breezy Plains like Joseph, Elvan, and the rest had also cast the Warlock's Eyes. After all, only the caster could see what their Warlock's Eyes was seeing. Hence, instead of waiting for others to see it and relay it to them, they might as well see it for themselves. The Warlock's Eyes was not a difficult spell to cast, nor was it energy-consuming anyway. Even level-15 Magic Shooters could use it with ease, let alone Legendary powerhouses.

However, they didn't expect their respective Warlock's Eyes to collapse before it reached the island because it couldn't withstand the impact of the magic elements. The density of magical elements on the island was not only high, the force on the island was also constantly absorbing more magical elements from the surrounding space, making the flow of the magical elements form an Elemental Storm. The Warlock's Eyes was a relatively low-level magic spell because it didn't contain nomological power. It could easily collapse under the impact of the storm.

Lin Li was the only one who took that situation into consideration, and used the nomological power to stabilize the Warlock's Eyes that he had cast. Hence, the Warlock's Eyes that he had cast was able to reach the sky above the island without any problems. Through the Warlock's Eyes, he saw a Magic Tower that was inscribed with complex and mysterious mageweaths situated in the center of the island.

“President Felic, is there anything on that island?” When Claus and the others saw Lin Li's grim expression that appeared after he sent his Warlock's Eyes out to the island, they immediately became curious. They knew that the young President Felic was a true Sanctuary powerhouse; what was on the island that could make a Sanctuary powerhouse behave in such a manner?

At this point, Lin Li was controlling the Warlock's Eyes, and making it circle the Magic Tower. However, under the strong interference of the Elemental Storm, he could only see the mageweaths without the details even though he was a Sanctuary powerhouse.

However, through his observation with the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li had some answers. He had seen some of the mageweaths on the tower when he had been in the Sky Castle. It was said to be near the Divine Smith level, but it was only partial because the mageweath on the Sky Castle itself was defective, and with Lin Li's current ability, repairing something like that was something that he dared not imagine at all.

Lin Li now reckoned that if the mageweath on the Magic Tower now was the Void Spirit mageweath, it should be a complete one.

Besides, the possibility was very high because the main function of the Void Spirit mageweath was to gather a large number of magical elements. There was no other mageweath that could compare to it in terms of that function. Besides, the abnormality on the island now was probably caused by the Void Spirit mageweath. Hence, a mageweath that could operate normally had to have a complete core at the very least.

With Lin Li's ability, he couldn't easily repair a missing core part of the Void Spirit mageweath. However, if the core part of the mageweath was intact, and only some minor details were missing, Lin Li would still be somewhat confident in restoring it to perfection.

Hence, after retrieving the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li did not immediately answer the others' questions, but instead ordered the people on The Star to stop it. The vessel was not an artifact, and the sudden stop resulted in some minor bursts. Clearly, the alchemical power system had begun to show some issues under the Elemental Storm.

However, Lin Li could not worry about that now. He immediately turned his head to the crowd, and said, “Everyone, I found a Magic Tower in the middle of that island. It's probably a magic relic that has been left behind from a certain era. The abnormality of the magical elements on the island is caused by a mageweath on the tower. Hence, I plan to delve deep into the center of the island to explore a little and see the mageweath for myself. Are you interested to join me?”
