Chapter 103: The Devil's Horn (Part II)
Rex crept up behind Saleen and asked, "What are you thinking?"
She had a fragrant scent on her body, mixed with the faint fishy smell of the seawater, and became a little strong, straight into the heart. Salin expressed his heart and said, "I want a boat, a life without constraints." β
Rex chuckled lightly, "Hey, that's not going to work, there's still a lot of things to do in Bitterwater County." β
"What can I do, except for the speed of cultivation being faster, I'm afraid the only thing that matters is that I have a good teacher. Facing the sea, Saleen spoke his heart very directly for the first time.
"Do you think I wouldn't have let you out of there without your teacher?" Rex didn't say anything about God's punishment for hell, and she wasn't sure if anyone would hear her.
"Not necessarily, it's just that I think what you mean now is to put me in charge of a lot of things, and I don't really like to do it. β
"Father told me about you. Rex said suddenly.
It didn't occur to Salin that Chanak the Great had spoken of himself alone before he died. For this emperor, Saleen admired him very much, and he also wanted to know how he evaluated himself.
"My father said that Saleen was a man who did not have great ambitions, but he could do great things. Don't look at him as a fourth-level mage now, his achievements will surpass you in the future. Some people just set their goals too far and end up with nothing in their lives, while Salin will concentrate on what is in front of him, and every step is very solid.
"It's not easy to surpass you, is it? "Saleen told the truth, although he also aimed at Rex, it was only because Rex was the same age as him, but Rex had a very high start, and although he had worked hard to lay a good foundation, he still felt that he was inferior to Rex in many places.
"After passing the sixth level, the effect of wealth on the cultivation of magic is very small, and you also know that the seventh-level magic core cannot be bought with gold coins. β
Salin was silent, he also knew that Rex was telling the truth, this time he came to Alchemy City, and the two of them also had a thought in their hearts, they wanted to see how Alchemy City maintained so many mages consumed.
Now the two of them are roughly clear, and the alchemy city is only using the most direct method - plunder.
Alchemy City is a magical holy land, where all magical materials and knowledge can be bought. If an alien mage wants to obtain this, he will have to do some things for Alchemy City, such as hunting, gathering, and mining. These things are time-consuming, and some of them are life-threatening, and the mages of Alchemy City hand over these tasks to outsiders and charge a fee.
Is this reasonable?
Maybe it's unreasonable, but every year, a large number of mages come to Alchemy City, full of hope.
"If you want to live like that, I'm afraid it's hard. Rex continued softly, and a kind of boredom grew in Sareen's heart, but quickly cleared the strange mood.
"Rex, it's not that difficult, it's just that I have something to do for you for the time being, and I don't have time to start. When I'm free, I'll get a boat, go around the entire Myers continent, and ......"
"And then?"
"And then I kept driving towards the end of the ocean, and I wanted to see what the end of this plane was.
"Really...... Romantic ideas. β
"You want to say it's unrealistic. Salin asked, smiling.
"Nothing is impractical, for magicians. Do you know what I want to do?"
"You want to find my teacher as soon as possible. β
"Hey. Rex didn't deny it, before coming to Alchemy City, she had thought things simple. After she came, she realized that Alchemy City did not belong to a certain person, but to a group of people. Where there are people, there will be power disputes, even Alchemy City will not be an exception.
"I wonder if I'm still a magician. Salin was a little emotional, not like a man his age.
"Then will you help me?" Rex said.
"Help, of course!" Salin turned to the side, got out of the way, let Rex stand in front of the window, and whispered, "The benefits of this matter can't be left alone." When he said this, of course, he was talking about God's punishment of hell.
"It's a pity that Kushui County is located in the inland of Qinyin, if there is an outlet to the sea like the Alchemy Port and a navy is established, it can come and go as freely as a cloud. Rex ignored Saline's banter, she knew exactly what Saleen was thinking.
"The two ports in the north are not as convenient as Alchemy City, and it is estimated that you will not be able to start, but north of the Duchy of Phoenix, isn't there still a large area of uninhabited land?" Salin recalled the empty space of the Myers continent marked on the map, and said his thoughts.
"You know it's no-man's land, and it's covered in snow and ice for at least four months a year, and there are people who want to live there. My people have been to explore, there is a natural deep-water port, but unfortunately, there are also a few months of freezing. If you like it, I'll get it there in the future and make you a marquis?"
"What does it mean to be a marquis. β
"Do you want to be emperor?"
"That's not necessary, it's content to be a county king. β
Rex's face suddenly turned red, what is this called by Salin? If he hasn't been crowned the king of the county, this is like **. Salin didn't notice Rex's abnormality, he pointed to the moonlit sea in front of him, and said, "Rex, those emperors want to unify the continent and rebuild the prestige of the previous dynasty, but this idea is very naΓ―ve. Even the Fourth Dynasty controlled thousands of miles of sea beyond the sea frontier. Not to mention facing the three dynasties in advance. When I came to sea today, I realized how small my previous requirements were. β
"What did you ask for before?"
"I want to be full at every meal, and I want the money under the pillow not to be scammed and robbed. That's what I studied magic for. β
The two of them were talking about trivial things, and before they knew it, the East was white. On the sea level, a ray of golden light rises and is extremely dazzling. The sunlight cut through the darkness, and in a pre-dawn moment, Saleen and Rex unconsciously closed their breath and saw the first time in their lives that they were out of the sea.
The Devil's Horn has arrived!
In the distance, fog-shrouded islands loom recognizable. As the ship's speed slowed down, the sailors lowered their sails and changed to a magic drive, allowing the ship to slowly sail into the mist.
Neither Saleen nor Rex returned to their seats, their perception extended to the outside of the ship, discovering that the formation of the mist itself was triggered by a magic array. This island is still far away, it can be seen that it is huge, the fog is at least dozens of miles offshore, if all of it is inspired by the magic array, even if it is a primary magic array, it is too amazing.
The ships carefully avoided the reef, and Salin thought to himself, no wonder the Devil's Horn could stand tall in the middle of the sea, not afraid of the cloud fleet. If this huge island is covered in fog all year round, and there are reefs scattered around the perimeter, it is impossible to even get close without a detailed chart. Although it takes advantage of the abundant water element at sea, this arrangement is too powerful.
The ship was driving in the fog, and Salin silently remembered the route ahead, but found that in the fog, the direction could not be discerned, and after a few turns, the original coordinates had long been lost.
He is a fourth-level mage, and his mental power is not inferior to Rex, so he can't remember the way, and the Devil's Horn can be said to be absolutely safe.
If there are changes in ocean currents, geomagnetism, mist and reefs, no foreign ship can come close. Unless the person in the Devil's Horn allows it, and gives clear magical coordinates.
Holy Rock City and Alchemy City have both shocked Salin, but those two cities are the accumulation of thousands of years, majestic and magnificent, this devil's horn is basically completed by using a huge magic array arranged by the vicissitudes of the sea for hundreds of millions of years. In this way, it has surpassed some of Salin's cognition.
This is the strength of the magician, who has completely integrated the elemental power with the natural environment, and no matter how strong the fleet of Yunliu is, they cannot get close to the Devil's Horn, unless they have the ability to disperse all the elemental power within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Even forbidden spells can't do that.
Salin and Rex glanced at each other, and a thought popped up in their hearts at the same time, who arranged this magic array?
A few miles closer to the island, the ship stopped bending, and the mist faded. A huge metal harbour is in view. The style of the harbor became harder and colder, and the magic lights on the ship flickered incessantly, signaling the towers on the docks. Many magicians came to the window to see the magic ship docked in the harbor.
The people of Alchemy City have no intention of blocking it, they don't care about you at all, if you can take away all the secrets just by looking at it, it is impossible for Alchemy City to occupy this sea.
The harbor was carved out of a huge rock and was surrounded on three sides by tall forts. Deep in the depths is a metal pier embedded in the interior of the island. The pier is open and dozens of large ships are parked.
Saleen didn't need any guidance, and at a glance he saw the magic ship that Sandru was talking about.
Hiss...... Scold!
Many people let out exclamations and inhales, and many more showed yearning and greed in their eyes. What kind of ship was this, if Salin hadn't seen it, he would never have been able to imagine that the boat could still be built like this.
The keel of the magic ship was simply taken from a huge sea demonic beast, with a length of nearly two hundred meters. The beast's skull was on the bow of the ship, its mouth was open, and its two hollow eye sockets were inlaid with immensely large gems. The hull has no gaps from end to end, and the sheer color of wood seems to grow naturally on the bones of a giant beast.
The magic-powered paddles were not visible on the sides, but two large bone wings were folded together. There are four decks on deck, and there are no sails in sight. There are magic turrets in the bow and stern of the ship, and the magic cannon can only be fired in an environment where the elements are stable, and isn't this thing already out of its manufacturing process?
In addition to the magic tower, there are also large and small arrow towers on the ship, which are equipped with alchemical crossbows. At the highest bridge, Saleen clearly saw a simple magic tower.
This ship, if there is a magician in charge, is enough to sail the seven seas. It defies too much of Sarin's common sense, such as magic cannons, magic towers, all built on moving hulls. A giant ship without sails, how many magic cores do it take to drive?
