Chapter 519 - William’s Visit
Next, it would be the loot that he had obtained from the Syer Bandits. Unfortunately, Lin Li had not taken the gold coins and gemstones into consideration when splitting the loot with Hutton back then, and instead chose raw materials and various semi-finished products. If he wanted to convert the raw materials and semi-finished products into funds, they had to be processed into finished products and then sold through a proper sales channel. The entire process was rather slow.
However, that was not all that Lin Li had gained. Not to forget, he had also acquired a massive amount of treasures and gems from the underground palace, most of which could be exchanged for a large amount of money. In the era of the High Elves, there was already a complete currency system. In addition to the value of precious metals themselves, exquisite elven-style gold and silver coins were still artwork quite widely sought after.
Except for the coins from the elven era, all kinds of elven-style weapons and equipment, as well as elven-style furniture and accessories, were absolutely valuable, as with all other elf-related items. The elven-era items acquired in the underground palace, which were once considered to be useless by Lin Li, were actually enough to give him a large amount of money for the construction of the Tower of Dusk alone.
The construction of the Tower of Dusk would be a great improvement for the mages of the Guild of Magic in terms of abilities, on top of providing better facilities. Although Lin Li had a rune potion that could forcibly help an Archmage advance, he still had to consider the interest of the Tower of Dusk when selecting someone to use the potion on.
The topic was inevitably related to the majordomo of the Tower of Dusk, Gavin. His management abilities were so superb that even Gerian, who had been a President for years, took his hat off to him.
As for ambition, Lin Li had never worried about it ever since he delegated the management of the tower to Gavin. Only the useless and incompetent ones would worry about their subordinates posing a threat to their status and betraying them, thus resulting in irreparable damage to themselves. Those were the kind of people who would use various excuses to limit the performance of their subordinates.
Gavin’s performance also gained him Lin Li’s trust. He had efficiently used the massive amount of operating funds and turned them into a powerful driving force for the development of the Tower of Dusk. More and more mages, including those outside the Breezy Plains, were attracted to the Tower of Dusk which provided splendid accommodation and offered great benefits.
