Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056: What Exactly Do You Want?

After hearing this news, everyone in the conference hall was astonished and dumbfounded as their faces froze. They could not believe it at all. Weren’t the Levidans known to have immortal bodies? Even without their immortal bodies, they were still large in number! There were tens of thousands of Levidans, and they could not be crushed and killed easily like ants!

The most unacceptable thing was that the Gilded Kingdom’s army did not suffer a single casualty, which didn’t make any sense at all. Were the Levidan demons incapable of resisting, and simply waited obediently to be killed?

Everyone was dumbfounded by the news, and they only gradually recovered from the shock after a long time. At the same time, they also realized how terrifying the Gilded Kingdom’s army was. They definitely didn’t think that the Levidans were incapable of resistance, and simply waited to be killed. That could only prove that the strength of the Gilded Kingdom was too horrifying, so much so that the Levidans could not retaliate even if they wanted to!

Thinking about this, all the people present felt that a chill rising in their hearts uncontrollably. Each one of them couldn’t help but ask themselves if their alliance would be strong enough for them to contend with the Gilded Kingdom’s group.

“What exactly is the Gilded Kingdom trying to do!?” Elvis looked at the people below, and he could tell what they were thinking from the looks on their faces. However, even Elvis, who was a Sanctuary powerhouse, didn’t think that his alliance would be able to contend with the Gilded Kingdom, let alone the others.

Could it be that the Gilded Kingdom was just trying to assert their dominance and prove it to the forces in the Breezy Plains? Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, that action did cause the forces of the Breezy Plains to be extremely astonished. They had yet to clash, but the Breezy Plains’ alliance was already caught off guard and incredibly frightened. If the Gilded Kingdom showed some hostility at this time, many forces in the alliance would immediately succumb to them.

“They did not stop at the Levidan Canyon, and instead crossed over directly. Where will they go next?” Seeing that the ambiance in the conference hall was rather somber, Abrad wanted to divert the attention of the people for a while so that they could stop thinking about the seemingly glorious battle results of the Gilded Kingdom.

However, Abrad’s efforts were fruitless as everyone in the conference hall was a bit frightened by the strength of the Gilded Kingdom. They were all thinking about their own future, and no one cared about the final destination of the Gilded Kingdom’s team at all as it was no longer important to them. The important thing was that through the incident this time, they had finally found out how terrifying the strength of the Gilded Kingdom was.

However, next to him, Rojet, who was also a Sanctuary powerhouse, naturally snapped back to his senses rather quickly. After hearing Abrad’s words, he naturally shifted his gaze onto the large map. It was actually not too difficult to determine the destination of the Gilded Kingdom team now. Since two points could form a line, the Blackwater Swamp and Levidans Canyons were like two points that formed an arrow to point out the direction of the army. As long as they searched in that direction, they would roughly know where their target destination was.

Rojet’s gaze slowly moved around the map as he secretly made some analysis in his heart while looking at it, deducing which places would be worthless and which ones would be valuable but unworthy of the Gilded Kingdom’s efforts. Finally, he stopped and fixed his gaze on an inconspicuous corner of the map.

At this moment, Elvis and Abrad also noticed Rojet’s behavior. Initially, Abrad just made that casual remark because he wanted to divert everyone’s attention. To his surprise, Rojet really tried to find it, and he seemed to have done it.

Hence, the two of them followed Rojet’s gaze, and looked at the map with curiosity. However, when they saw the map, they looked even more bewildered than before. They couldn’t help but say, “That’s impossible… Could it really be that place?”

The behavior of the three Sanctuary powerhouses finally caught the attention of the leaders of the various factions. They finally remembered where they were. They still had the support of three Sanctuary powerhouses, and thus might not necessarily be weaker than the Gilded Kingdom’s army.

Of course, since they had yet to enter the Sanctuary-realm, they wouldn’t know the difference between pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses and genuine Sanctuary powerhouses. Besides, Elvis and the other two did not mention to anyone their trip to Port Tim. Hence, they naturally wouldn’t know that those three Sanctuary powerhouses who were close to gods in their eyes had been completely embarrassed by the Gilded Kingdom.

Thus, the crowd finally put aside their own thoughts for a while, and turned their attention to the three Sanctuary powerhouses in a bid to find out what they had discovered. They wondered if the Gilded Kingdom had made some unexpected move. When they looked at the three Sanctuary powerhouses, they saw Elvis pointing at a certain location on the map.

“Isn’t that Cage Island?” said someone who was familiar with the map. His tone was full of bewilderment too.

“Cage Island?”

The majority of people present were not familiar with that place, but they were all aware of its existence because, in their opinion, it was a boring and unpopular place. Although it was unlike the Blackwater Swamp and Levidan Canyon, which were known to be deadly places in the Breezy Plains, it was definitely not a tourist attraction.

Cage Island was located in the center of a crescent-shaped bay at the southernmost end of the Breezy Plains. It was surrounded by various cliffs, and the gap that led to the sea was covered with islands of varying sizes. It was just like a natural labyrinth which no large ship could pass through to enter the bay.

Cage Island, which was located in the center of the bay, had existed since before the Dark Age. It was called Cage Island because legend had it that there was once an ancient wyrm imprisoned there by a Titan.

Of course, it was just a legend. In fact, it was not that no one had ever set foot on the island. However, rumor had it that other than a plot of barren land, there was no trace of an ancient wyrm or Titan.

However, disregarding the fact that the place did not fit the description in the legend, it did give off a peculiar vibe. Cage Island had a large surface area, but it was barren and frightening. There was not a single tree or blade of grass in sight, let alone any animals or magical beasts.

The peculiar thing was that any creature that stepped into the range of the island would react like they had been put under a strange curse as their vitality would deplete rapidly. Creatures with weaker vitality could probably not even survive three days on the island. Even powerhouses that were level-15 and above and had a greater vitality than ordinary people would last at most 10 days.

Of course, the vitality of Legendary powerhouses was stronger, and perhaps they might last longer in such a peculiar environment. However, no one had ever heard of a Legendary powerhouse who was mindless and bored enough to go to that lone and barren island to challenge the limits of survival.

After the Dark Age, people rarely mentioned that place because there was really nothing much to say about it. There were no animals, plants, or any valuable resources. Besides, with such a bizarre environment that would put one under a curse, Cage Island almost became a forgotten land in the Breezy Plains.

Hence, when the name Cage Island was mentioned, many people in the conference hall were at a loss, and they only found the name a little familiar. However, they did not have much of an impression of it. It was only after someone reminded them that the crowd slowly remembered that such an unpopular place existed in the Breezy Plains.

Of course, after knowing that the destination of the Gilded Kingdom’s team was Cage Island, the crowd felt even more puzzled. Judging from the behavior of the Gilded Kingdom after entering the Breezy Plains, it seemed that the Gilded Kingdom needed the various resources of the Breezy Plains very much. If the Gilded Kingdom’s army was so poor that they had to find some minerals in the wilderness, it would be quite reasonable. However, they could not think of anything valuable in a deserted place like Cage Island.

Hence, although the crowd did not say much about the conjecture that Elvis and the others came up with, their attitude showed their obvious apprehension. After all, the people of the Gilded Kingdom were not fools. Why would they go to that place for nothing?

However, as pieces of news were delivered one after another, Elvis and the others’ conjecture was gradually proven to be true. The direction of the Gilded Kingdom’s army was very clear—they were heading all the way straight to Cage Island. Along the way, they even encountered some new resource deposits, but they did not stop at all.

The strange behavior of the Gilded Kingdom had confused the people of the Breezy Plains, and they wondered if there was really something on Cage Island that attracted them. However, as the goal of the Gilded Kingdom’s army became clearer, what they dreaded the most did not happen. The people in the Breezy Plains could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As the latest piece of news was delivered, the Gilded Kingdom’s army had started to embark on their route to the island. Someone from the alliance finally proposed to return to their own territories. The fact that the Gilded Kingdom’s team had gone on the island meant that the threat in this incident had vanished. In the opinion of the leaders of the various forces of the alliance, there was naturally nothing left to discuss.

Although the conference of the alliance had ended, the various forces did not pay any less attention to the Gilded Kingdom. After all, they were very curious about what the Gilded Kingdom’s army was doing on Cage Island, and whether there were really any precious resources or even treasures hidden on that barren island.

Of course, most of them were still waiting to see the Gilded Kingdom make themselves a laughingstock. If there had really been something great on Cage Island, it would have probably already been discovered by others long ago. How could the Gilded Kingdom get anything?

However, no one expected that as the Gilded Kingdom’s team got on the island, things began to develop beyond their expectations.

After the Gilded Kingdom’s team embarked on their journey on the island, more than 10 Legendary-mages in the team immediately began to set up a huge Alchemy Array there. Immediately afterwards, they each stood at a different position on the island, raised the staffs in their hands, and chanted an ancient and mysterious incantation loudly.

With the movement of those Legendary-mages, the Alchemy Array on Cage Island gradually began to light up. The light gradually became lighter, and even became close to engulfing Cage Island as if it had become a sun floating on the surface of the sea.

However, when the light of the Alchemy Array reached its brightest, thick gray clouds suddenly appeared in the sky that was originally turquoise in color. They rolled continuously as if they were going to press against the top of their heads. The clouds were also filled with snake-like arcs of lightning and thunder rumbled.

At the same time, the sea around Cage Island seemed to have started boiling as it roared and tumbled while the waves soared high to a height of tens of meters. However, no matter how tall the waves were, they could not touch the island, and it was as if there was an invisible layer of protection outside the island. However, the island was also shaking vigorously, as if it was a boat that would capsize amidst the storm.

The 10-odd Legendary-mages that were guarding the Alchemy Array were doing their best to keep it running. However, they had no idea what kind of power would cause the Alchemy Array to emit a flickering light. The operation was clearly not smooth.

The scouts sent by the various forces of the Breezy Plains watched the dramatic changes on Cage Island from afar, only to be stunned by the earth-shattering scene. They did not know that they would see such a violent sight on the barren island.

Immediately afterwards, a low but penetrative roar of a dragon suddenly surged from the depths of the sea. Amidst the roar of the gigantic waves, the dragon’s roar seemed exceptionally clear and distinctive. The area around Cage Island seemed to have changed drastically too as the thick dark clouds in the sky seemed to reveal a dark red hue, as if blood clots were forming.
