Chapter 503 - Reconstructing Black Clouds Town
“That’s not what I’m worried about…” Lin Li said calmly.
Actually, Lin Li had a hunch that the Retribution Knight Rodhart, who was seated on the throne made of bones, was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. Although the once-formidable Retribution Knight seemed to be dead ever since Lin Li entered the underground palace, Rodhart remained for Lin Li a sword of Damocles which seemed like it would fall someday.
There were also some fishy parts about the underground palace, for it was too easily accessible and unguarded, even for a place that was protected by magic gears. As the leader of the High Elves, Osric had plenty of talented, elite subordinates. Hence, how could he have constructed an underground palace that only contained magic gears? Lin Li did not think that Osric would build such a great underground palace just for the sake of waiting for the right person to collect the two magical weapons, Polar Snow and Raging Flames—the debris of the stars. It was not like Osric to play hide-and-seek with a fire dragon in a lava river.
It was for now inadvisable for Lin Li to seek the other secrets present in the underground palace. There were still no mishaps yet, even though he had already plundered so many treasures, killed the Crimson Dragon underground, and damaged the magic gears. That was lucky for him. However, it could not be guaranteed that he would be safe if he were to continue delving deeper and exploring. There was still a Retribution Knight Rodhart outside.
He was the first fallen knight in the history of Anril, the nightmare that disrupted peace. Even after being purified by the Holy Light belonging to the Prophet Willen of the Brilliance Shrine, he still was the legendary and powerful Rodhart. Lin Li could not guarantee that he would not awake Rodhart if he were to continue delving deeper into the underground palace. With his current abilities, there seemed to be a long way to go for him before he could battle such a legendary powerhouse.
Hence, Lin Li resolutely decided to retreat since he had already taken everything that he could. As for the rest, he had no choice but to come back for it another time.
After the two Undead rebuilt the wall, Lin Li began to decorate it simply. Although making modifications to the stone wall was not a difficult task for Lin Li, since he had destroyed the power core of the magic gears, he still had to supply it with another energy source in order for them to work again.
“Yes, I’ll remember it,” Gavin answered solemnly before handing out some instructions for the construction to others.
