Chapter 161: Contract Trap (Part II)
Saleen wasn't afraid of any trouble these pirates would get into him. Among the pirates who have completely followed him, there are still two who have broken through to the level of advanced swordsmen, and those pirates who refuse to follow sincerely, only two are at the level of junior swordsmen, and the rest are ordinary swordsmen.
The swordsman is still a combat power in the mercenary group, but here in Saleen, he is not inferior to these half-hearted guys.
The only question is who will be responsible for the safety of the city if he and Aini leave the city base. As soon as the three kings left, there would be any more trouble, and Saleen was afraid that the magicians of Shreg Island would not be able to suppress it.
Salin and Ani talked for more than an hour in his cloud technique before they decided how to take the bait.
It was the depths of winter, and it had snowed heavily for several days, east of the temple, a mile from the port, and Saleen had chosen a piece of land for Aini to be the center of the city for the Clyde family.
The Clyde family sent five hundred swordsmen, but in fact they didn't need so many swordsmen for business, and Aini ordered three hundred of them to temporarily follow Saleen to assist in the city's defense. The Clyde family knew it was a good investment opportunity, so they didn't hesitate to invest in it. Saleen was indeed short of men, and Rex took a third of his strength. These three hundred swordsmen can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow.
The Clyde family's business this time is not at a loss, as long as Saleen survives this time, they will definitely get a higher salary in this city than other families.
On the selected land, the construction of a mansion began. There are many disadvantages to building a house in winter, but most of the city's buildings are made of stone, and with the effect of magic, it does not affect the longevity of the building.
It's only two miles away from the temple, and it's in a good location, close to the port, and on the east-west axis of the city. In the future, when the city is fully repaired, the land in such a location will be very expensive.
Makeshift fortresses were erected, and the standard configuration inside the fortress was an alchemical crossbow and five swordsmen. This medium-sized alchemy crossbow needs to be operated by two swordsmen, and the remaining three swordsmen are to protect the alchemy crossbow.
After these temporary forts were built, Saleen was finally somewhat relieved. There will be no more people from the Holy See this winter, and although Banchagana did not kill the Black Cardinal, it can be regarded as a scare to the other side, and until there is enough strength, the people left in the north by the Holy See will wait for reinforcements from the Shining City.
While Ani was building his mansion, Salin took Neris and carved a fort in the rocky hill north of the port.
This stone mountain as a whole is a huge white rock, which is extremely solid, and in Salin's opinion, this stone mountain with a diameter of only a few hundred meters cannot be destroyed even with ninth-level magic. He could only rely on terrazzo to carve out a space in the middle of the stone mountain.
In this space, there are six magic cannon firing ports to be set up, and six turrets to be refined. Salin's current Shui Yan alchemy has been preliminarily successful, but time is pressing. He can only temporarily refine a turret, and after installing the magic cannon, he can control the ships from the sea.
There are two constructed golems in Neris's bracelet, both of which have traces of life and are able to command freely. With these two puppets, Neris alone can manipulate the magic cannon on this turret.
If the magic cannon wants to deflect the shooting angle, it requires a huge amount of manpower, and the power of the puppet has exceeded the instant explosion of the sword qi of the intermediate sword master.
The magic cannon has two flaws, the first is that it requires a solid foundation and is almost impossible to move. The magic cannon that Saleen got now has weakened the problem. The second flaw is that the cost is too large, the full force of the magic cannon is already equivalent to the ninth-level magic, you can imagine how many magic cores it will cost to shoot this cannon.
According to the principle of the transformation of the energy of the magic core, the energy contained in a ninth-level magic core can release six ninth-level magic, and when used on the magic cannon, this amount will be halved. In other words, if Saleen filled the inlay position of the magic cannon with 12 ninth-level magic cores, he would only be able to fire thirty-six times.
Salin still has the dragon crystal core in his hand, and inlaying the dragon crystal on it can't completely solve this problem. Use dragon crystals as an energy source for magic cannons. The core of a dragon crystal can almost fire more than a hundred cannons, but if you want to recover the dragon crystal, it will take at least half a year.
Despite this, Saleen gave the dragon crystal to Neris. Neris was worried that she still had an uncut dragon crystal in her bracelet, which she had kept privately. If the two dragon crystals are used alternately, this trouble will be completely solved. Because even if it is a long-term battle, the magic cannon will not be fired more than two hundred times.
Salin obtained one hundred and eighty-eight high-level magic cores from Rafal's magic tower, and the so-called high-level magic core means that this magic core was taken out from the body of at least a seventh-level demonic beast. Rafal has killed countless high-level demonic beasts in his life, but at his level, the magic core is not too important, so he didn't leave much left in the magic tower.
Four hundred and sixty-six intermediate-level magic cores cannot be embedded in the magic cannon, and the minimum attack ability of the magic cannon is equivalent to seventh-level magic, and it must be driven by seventh-level magic cores.
"Master, you're going to the Swamp of Chaos, why don't you take me with you?"
"With the Three Kings here, I won't be in danger, but I need someone who is safe to be in charge here. Salin patted Neris on the head. Now that his body was taller than Neris, he was relieved.
"Master, now you are different from before, don't rush ahead if there is danger, those pirates, and Daniel, can do dangerous things. "This is the first time that Neris is separating from Salin, and I don't know why, but I am a little reluctant.
"I know, this time I brought the pirates to deal with these guys. The opportunity I gave was good enough. But there are still people who are unwilling and want to go back to their old lives. I read about this kind of thing in books, and I thought it was incredible, but now I know that it is difficult to change what life a person is used to. ”
"Master, I seem to be used to you. Neris's green eyes blinked, looking at Saleen affectionately.
Salin's face turned a little green, but he couldn't bear to scold Neris, he just coughed and said, "I'll be back soon." Three months at most, when the snow in the north has not melted. ”
"I hate waiting, and when I was there, I waited 10,000 years, and it felt better than dying. Neris remembered that when she was imprisoned in the temple, she didn't know whether it was pain or soreness, and her tone was extremely lonely.
"Well, if you have time, train the swordsmen more. Don't always harass the soldiers. ”
"Master, that skeleton is cunning. "Naris knew that she had bullied the Winged Skull and that Saleen knew about it, so it must have been that guy who secretly sued. The Winged Skull is an undead spirit, and can also speak directly to Saleen in the mind, as long as it is within a mile of each other. No one knows about the communication between Wingskull and Saleen. When Salin is gone, I will definitely clean him up.
"You are cunning. Nellis, after I'm gone, you're going to help me watch out for Ani's men. Ani wouldn't use any conspiracies against me, but the Clyde family wasn't so reassuring. You find out the danger and find a way to kill it, don't make it obvious, it's not good for people to know. ”
"Master, if someone here is a secret agent of the Clyde family, once he dies, he will be known about it. Neris reminded Saleen.
"Huh?" Salin thought. And so it was. For example, if you arrange a hundred people in Alchemy City, two of them are your secret agents. These two people died suddenly, it must have been discovered by the people of Alchemy City, and it was no accident.
"Master, why don't I find out and let Ani deal with it. "Nellis has an idea.
Saleen thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. He's going to befriend Aini, not the Clyde family now. Although Ani is in charge of the city, he is not yet able to represent the Clyde family. When I can help Aini up, these two questions can be considered as one question.
He's going to see what Aini will do, and if Aini sends these people back to the Clyde family, it's that he's going to be family-centric. If Aini kills the lurker for himself, it means that Aini really intends to start his own business, and he can cooperate with Aini deeply.
It's early December, and on this day, Saleen went to find Judy Koko. The Three Kings studied the clues in various magic books every day, and rarely met with Saleen, and as soon as Saleen arrived, Judy Koko knew that he had something.
"Salin, what good news are you here today?" Judy Koko has been suppressing Diabinas's displeasure recently, and Saleen has provided enough magic books recently, but out of every ten, two must be relatively low-level, and there is no need to check them.
"Master Judy Koko, there are some things, but there are some things I don't know how to say. ”
"Salin, you can tell me that we have a contract, and you know that out of Banchagana, it is impossible for me and Diabinas to even accidentally injure you. ”
"Then can you tell me what you are looking for when you come to the Myers Continent?" Salin looked up, and Judy Koko sat on a special chair, and lowered his head. to see Sarin's face.
"Salin, why do you suddenly want to ask this?" Judy Koko did not directly answer Salin's question, Salin had never inquired about this matter, and today he suddenly asked it, which made Judy Koko a little surprised.
"If what you're looking for has something to do with magic, I might be able to give you a better clue. "There wasn't any emotional fluctuation in Salin's voice, and he disguised it well. As long as Judy Koko is interested, then things are much easier below.
Judy Koko looked at Saleen for a moment and asked, "Saleen, you can't trust me?"
"It's not about trust, magicians only believe in contracts. And I didn't provide this clue, and I can't let my friends suffer. ”
"The necromancer?"
"That's him. Salin smiled. Judy Koko was talking along his own lines, and he was half sure of it.
