Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1252 – Explanation

Chapter 1252: Explanation

In fact, the vast majority of the crowd didn't even bother to pay attention to Cantory, because all their attention was on the information they had inferred from that magic scroll. Wild Whale Rabu was already a demigod, but it was actually so easily suppressed by the power of the magic scroll named Mount Tai, which left them wondering just what level the magic scroll was at and how high Lin Li's attainments in the field of inscription were.

As long as one had brains, they would probably be able to imagine that the level of the power that was unleashed had to have been close to the Divine level since it could suppress Wild Whale Rabu. In that case, there was no way the magic scroll was only at the peak of the Master-level, and they reckoned that it was probably near the Divine-Smith-level. Based on further inference, they deduced that Lin Li, the young president of the Tower of Dusk, probably had inscription attainments that were at the Divine-Smith-level, if not close to it.

Gurus of Inscription were considered rare in the entire Anril, even among the Octopus Clan that had high attainments in inscription. As for inscribers who were at the Divine-Smith-level, there were probably less than five even in myths and legends, let alone in Anril.

Of course, they also knew that if Lin Li had really become a Divine Smith of Inscription, it would have been tantamount to reaching the Divine-realm, and he would have long become a true deity. Hence, they deduced that Lin Li should only be approaching the level of a Divine Smith of Inscription, and the level of his inscription knowledge was probably just touching the Divine-Smith-level.

However, even if he wasn't a Divine Smith of Inscription, Lin Li's attainments in inscription were still unprecedented in Anril. Faced with such a situation, the people present could not help but think about how they should get along with such an impressive figure who was close to the Divine-Smith-level in the future.

The ones who were the happiest about this discovery were none other than Queen Halleleah and Prince Cleve of the Siren Clan, as well as Great Monarch Hegel and Grand Elder Hayes of the Octopus Clan.

Through the suppression of Wild Whale Rabu, Hegel and Hayes had both witnessed the full power of this magic scroll, and were completely certain that it was close to the level of the Divine Smith. At this moment, both of them were feeling thankful and fortunate that they had decided to spend 400,000,000 gold coins on this magic scroll, and had not missed it because of the staggering price.

Initially, Hegel and Hayes intended to meet Lin Li immediately after Rabu was suppressed so that they could take advantage of this opportunity to befriend him. However, to their dismay, Lin Li decided to leave through a spatial rift after speaking to Bradlor briefly, perhaps because of Cantory. That made them feel inevitably regretful and also resentful towards Cantory. In fact, they even considered making Harquess cut off all contact with Cantory after they returned.

Putting aside the feud between Cantory and Lin Li, in Hegel and Hayes' opinion, it was really foolish of Cantory to have said those words just now. As the prince of the Octopus Clan, Harquess would succeed Hegel to become the Great Monarch of the clan in the future, and it wouldn't be a good thing for him to keep hanging out with a stupid person like Cantory lest he was affected.

Queen Halleleah and Prince Cleve of the Siren Clan were really overjoyed after ascertaining that Lin Li's attainments in the field of inscription were close to the Divine-Smith-level. Previously at the auction venue, they had already spoken to Lin Li and requested him to visit the Siren Clan sometime to help them draw a mageweath that would be complementary to the Heart of All Evil, to which Lin Li agreed.

They initially just thought of having a Master of Inscription like Lin Li to help them create a mageweath, but it turned out that he was a Guru of Inscription who was reaching the Divine-Smith-level. To Halleleah and Cleve, Lin Li's agreement to do them that favor was something that no amount of money could buy.

Besides, it was obviously still a good opportunity for them to get closer to Lin Li. Hence, while they were rejoicing about the fact that they had obtained such a great chance, Queen Halleleah and Prince Cleve couldn't help but despise and look down on Cantory, who had just offended Lin Li, even more. Although they didn't know what feud there was between Cantory and Lin Li, they felt that regardless of the reason, it was still very unwise of Cantory to offend Lin Li, a Guru of Inscription, without regard for the interests of the kingdom.

On the contrary, Grina, the prince of the Giant Shark Clan, was somewhat impressed with Cantory, and couldn't help but take another glance at him. He could tell from Cantory's behavior that Cantory detested Lin Li to the extent that he couldn't tolerate the other party's presence at all. For Grina, who also regarded Lin Li as his enemy, Cantory was undoubtedly someone worth getting close to because he could be of great help to him in dealing with Lin Li.

Although Lin Li's magic scroll had indeed shocked Grina, the Giant Shark Clan had always resorted to using brute force to solve problems, and they were contemptuous about things like mageweaths. In Grina's opinion, even if the magic scroll could suppress the terrifying power of Wild Whale Rabu, it wouldn't pose a threat to his Giant Shark Knights.

No matter how powerful the magic scroll may be, can it also destroy tens of thousands of Giant Shark Knights in one go? Grina was extremely confident in the Giant Shark Knights of his clan. Besides, Lin Li still wasn't an actual Divine Smith yet, and even the true deities were not invincible, let alone a person who was just close to the Divine-Smith-level.

“Great, this disaster is finally over. Thanks for helping us, everyone. I have some things to attend to, so I will take my leave now,” said Saint Edmund, who was rather dissatisfied with Cantory's attitude. After thanking those who had intervened to help deal with Rabu, he left with Elder Zumar without even taking another look at Cantory.

More importantly, of course, Saint Edmund was eager to meet Lin Li to discuss the matter of resurrecting Lord Aquilo, the founding saint. Since Lin Li's attainments in the field of inscription had reached a level that was close to the Divine-Smith-level, there should probably be some hope in resurrecting the saint ahead of schedule.

For Saint Edmund, nothing was more important than the resurrection of the founding Saint, Aquilo. If not for the fact that they still needed Cantory for other purposes, he would have probably beheaded Cantory and brought his head to Lin Li.

Staring at the back of Saint Edmund who was leaving, Cantory knew that he had offended him as well. Although he was not sure why Saint Edmund thought so highly of Lin Li, his hatred for Lin Li was raised by a few notches because of it too. In his opinion, it was clear enough that if it weren't for Lin Li, Saint Edmund wouldn't have been so austere and harsh to him even if he had said something callous.

However, at this point, Cantory knew that the people present were intending to get closer to Lin Li more likely than not, so he had no choice but to suppress his hatred in the bottom of his heart. He took a few deep breaths, got a grip on his emotions, and turned around to say to Bradlor, “Your Majesty, I was just worried that Wild Whale Rabu would escape again and bring disaster to our kingdom, but I didn't expect that President Felic would misunderstand me. When we return, I'll definitely find an opportunity to explain to President Felic.”

After hearing Cantory's explanation, Bradlor did not seem relieved at all. Instead, he looked at Cantory with great disappointment in his eyes, and said, “Cantory, what you did today was indeed overboard and done with a lack of consideration. I hope you really know that you are wrong. As for apologizing to President Felic, just do as you wish.”

As the king of a nation, Bradlor was experienced and wise enough to tell that there was actually still no hint of remorse in Cantory's words. In fact, knowing what Cantory was like, Bradlor was worried that Cantory might do something that would offend Lin Li even more if he forced Cantory to apologize again.

Besides, Bradlor could also tell from the fact that Lin Li had ignored Cantory just now that Lin Li simply didn't take Cantory seriously. In that case, it wouldn't matter if Cantory apologized or not. He believed that as long as the Gilded Kingdom could express due sincerity, there would still be a chance to make things right with Lin Li.

Seeing the hypocritical look on Cantory's face, Bradlor shook his head helplessly, turned around, and flew back towards Four Seasons Island with Prince Monterey and his ministers.

Since even Bradlor had left, the others naturally did not bother to stay behind anymore. Apart from the curious ones who wanted to go see the place where Rabu had been suppressed, the rest of the crowd also left the sea.

“I didn't expect Felic to have hid his abilities so well!” Sendros of the Darkness Shrine lamented to his close friend, Englos. He thought he already knew Lin Li well enough, but he didn't expect to be taken by surprise yet again.

After hearing his words, Englos couldn't help but shake his head and laugh bitterly as he said, “Yes, given how young he is, I'm afraid no one would think that he has made such great accomplishments in the field of inscription if he didn't say so himself. To be honest, even if he said it himself, I'm afraid the majority of people would not believe it. Well, just look at how those people at the auction reacted when the magic scroll was first put on display on stage.”

Among the people present, Sendros and Englos could be considered the ones who were the closest to Lin Li. They had previously crossed paths numerous times in Anril, but they only knew that Lin Li had extremely high attainments in pharmaceutics, and were unaware of his remarkable attainments in the field of inscription.

The fact that Lin Li could reach the Sanctuary-realm of magic at such a young age was already extremely incredible in the eyes of most people. Now, it was revealed that he also had attainments that were beyond imaginable in the fields of inscription and pharmaceutics. That made Sendros and Englos find it hard to believe that Lin Li was really just a human.

Of course, it was not too late to find out. Compared to the forces of the Endless Ocean who were now feeling anxious and paranoid, Sendros and Englos felt a lot less complicated. After all, the two of them were far closer to Lin Li than those forces of the Endless Ocean, so they didn't have to rush to befriend Lin Li.

At this moment, Lin Li and Connoris had already passed through the spatial rift, and returned to the embassy of the Tower of Dusk. However, back in the embassy, Connoris also finally found it hard to contain his curiosity about the magic scroll as he couldn't help but ask Lin Li which level the latter had reached in terms of inscription.

After all, Lin Li had never demonstrated the power of the magic scroll in front of Connoris and the others ever since he created it, and instead had it sent straight to the auction at the invitation of the Gilded Kingdom. Therefore, Connoris also did not expect that the magic scroll actually had the ability to easily suppress an enemy that was a demigod.

Back in the land of curses, Lin Li had suffered quite a lot of hardships in order to deal with High Priest Poer who was a demigod. Who would have thought that after such a short period of time, Lin Li would be able to rely on a magic scroll to easily subdue a Wild Whale that was far stronger than High Priest Poer, and suppress it at the bottom of the sea.

Of course, although Connoris was not entirely clueless about inscription, he definitely didn't have any remarkable skills in it. Hence, even if Lin Li explained to him, he wouldn't be able to understand the theories of inscription at all. After probing for a while, he had only learned that the magic scroll had indeed reached a level that was close to the Divine-Smith-level.

However, that answer was sufficient to clear Connoris' doubts, and also made him even more determined to follow Lin Li, whom he was now even more confident in. Although Connoris was once an ancient demon deity, he was still far from the true Divine-realm. Otherwise, he would not have been reduced to being sealed in a hammer at the end. Stepping into the Divine-realm and achieving godhood had always been a far-fetched dream for him.

Although Lin Li was the one who was reaching the Divine-realm, it also gave Connoris some hope. After all, he was a follower of Lin Li. Since he started being subordinate to Lin Li, his miserable fate had been reversed, and he had gotten out of a hopeless predicament. Not only did he break free from the shackles of the hammer, he had also obtained the perfect body of Highlord Osric, which gave him hope in breaking through to the Sanctuary-realm. Later on, with the enhancements and repairs that Lin Li made to the perfect body, its potential was greatly raised, and Connoris thought that it would be possible for him to become a deity one day.

Now, the main reason for Connoris' delay in reaching the Sanctuary-realm was actually the overpowering strength of the perfect body. Bodies could be compared to buckets, and for others, their bucket might be easily filled with water, and once the bucket was full, it would represent the breakthrough to the Sanctuary-realm. However, Connoris' perfect body was like a massive bucket that would take a long time to fill. However, once his bucket was filled, the achievements he would be able to make with his perfect body would definitely be far beyond what ordinary people could measure up to.

Moreover, Connoris believed that as long as Lin Li was able to reach the Divine-realm and become a true god, Lin Li would be able to easily solve all problems for Connoris even if the latter encountered any issues with his perfect body in the future. By then, Connoris would have a greater chance of reaching the Divine-realm himself.
