Chapter 154: A Long-Term Plan (I)
Capturing the black-armored warriors of the Inquisition is not too difficult. In order to flee for their lives, these warriors scattered in all directions, and their forces were scattered. The mages and warriors of Shrig Island gathered together and soon captured more than twenty captives, and the rest did not chase after them, allowing them to escape.
Under Nerice's interrogation, the knife hand did not survive a minute before revealing a lot of secrets of the Holy See's operation. Neris was a man of her word, and killed the knifeman in a very happy way.
Two of the two knifemen's four scimitars were destroyed, and all of them were collected by Saleen. The material of this scimitar is so special that with the amount of reading in Salin, there is no corresponding thing in any book. Nellis's dragon tooth dagger was destroyed, and the materials for the four scimitars were used to refine weapons for Nellis.
Banchagana flew back to the city base at three times the speed of his time, and briefly talked to Judy Koko, who only said that he had let go of a high-ranking god believer, and did not say anything about the dirt between him and Saleen. In Banchagana's eyes, Saleen was too insignificant, and he shouldn't have any resentment about doing it himself.
In the plane of the undead, power is everything, and the lower should be completely obedient to the decisions of the superior. And there are no complaints. He had forgotten that most of the undead were unintelligent. Humans, on the other hand, are the most complex creatures in all planes. Judging humans with the habits of the undead is enough to make him suffer a great loss.
Salin secretly took more than two dozen captives and returned to the Rock Turtle Alchemy Ship. These captives were just considered to be dead, and they didn't care too much about it. After death, they can enter the heavenly kingdom of the Lord of Light, which is also a relief.
The winged skeleton was still in that huge crystal, and he could now control the entire alchemy ship, and the magic array on the alchemy ship could spread his perception over a distance of thousands of meters, and at this distance, he could track all targets without any magic at all.
It felt so good that it made Wingskull a little addicted. After becoming a wise undead, he longed for freedom. But on the undead plane, he is under the control of the high-level undead. At Daniel's call, he came to the continent of Myers, originally intending to follow Daniel wholeheartedly and never return to the undead plane.
Unexpectedly, Daniel abandoned him, which caused Wingskull to suffer great damage.
Fortunately, Saleen was nice to him, and the new master seemed to be very good to his subordinates, and even the demon who was in trouble was alive and well. The Winged Skull now has relative freedom again, a powerful alchemy ship that can save him from the harm that exists in most of the planes.
The demonic beasts in the water basically fight for survival, and this alchemy ship has no flesh and blood, so it will basically not cause the attacks of the demonic beasts in the sea. Having taken control of the ship, the Wing Skull can be said to be at ease. The contract with Saleen was no big deal. He was happy to follow a human, and when Saleen died, he would have greater freedom.
Winged Skull is different from Neris in that he, like Neris, has a long life, but instead of a soul contract, he has a summoning contract. If Saleen dies, he won't die either.
The Winged Skull has great confidence in Saleen, and it is only a matter of time before Saleen becomes a magician, so he will have a relatively long lifespan. Before Salin died, he would have been able to advance to level eight or above, and at that time, he would not have to rely on humans to stay in this plane. This is the same as the Three Kings coming to the continent of Myers.
Even if Daniel died, the Three Kings would not be beaten back to the undead plane.
"Master, what are these slaves for?" Wingskull looked curiously at the black-armored warriors of the Inquisition. The black-armored warriors were unprotected when they entered the water, and most of them were choked on death. Anyway, they're going to die, and Saleen won't waste magic strings for these people.
Seeing the winged skeleton in the crystal, the black-armored warriors panicked. They had already guessed what Salen was going to do, and several black-armored warriors who were not strong enough had spoken out for mercy, and even began to lash out at the cruelty and absurdity of the Holy See, who were in the Inquisition. It's just for the sake of eating.
Salin didn't bother to pay attention to these people, the people of the Inquisition were twisted in mind, and they were completely different from the Cardinals.
Occasionally, those cardinals can lead people to do some good deeds, not just to preach for the gods. And what are the people in the Inquisition doing? Eliminate dissidents and do whatever it takes. No matter how much mercy Salin had, he would not use it on them.
"Don't argue, this is the trial. Salin turned the water of repair into a mist and sent it into the mouths and noses of more than two dozen swordsmen, and the water of repair forced into his lungs suffocated the swordsmen, and the injuries on their bodies were much better.
"Winged Skull, let's do something. ”
"Master, this is going to cause trouble. Winged Skull looked at the two dozen swordsmen and hesitated. By doing so, Salin was spitting directly in the face of the gods.
"Bing, in the Myers Continent, the gods can't come directly. The people of the Holy See have no way of knowing who did this, and they are suspicious of Banchagana at most, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"Master, I'm not afraid, it's just that these people ......"
"They have been in the north for many years, harming tens of thousands of barbarians, refining them into blood knights. I said, this is the trial. "Salin's face doesn't change. Wingskull heard Sarin's determination, and was helpless. Since these people are not good people, Salin's idea is not excessive.
"That'...... Just do what you want. The winged skeleton said, stepping out of the giant crystal.
Winged Skull was now completely different from Daniel's, his height had shrunk a lot, and he was only a head taller than Saleen. The bones on his body turned a snow-white and crystalline color. There are faint scale-like magic patterns. His two pairs of bone wings were fully contracted and folded behind him, a layer of green flame wrapped around the bone wings.
That's the Necromantic Flame, Salin is not a necromancer, after the Wingskull left Daniel, he has the Necromantic Flame, which can actively absorb power from the undead plane to evolve. Naris's power is affected by Salin, and the Winged Skull is exactly the same, his advancement is only related to this necromantic flame, and Saleen's contract with him is only to make him fight for Salin.
Salin's words were harsh enough, but he didn't like to see people being tortured. Those who take pleasure in it are perverted. Leaving Neris behind to help Wings, Saleen left the Turtle Alchemy Ship and returned to the city base.
The Three Kings were still reading the books provided by Saleen, and they had a peculiar way of reading, not only reading words, but also looking for familiarity in books. This makes them very slow to read. However, the three kings have a long lifespan, and they don't care about the consumption of this time.
Salin summons the magicians of Shrig Island to discuss the plan in his mind.
"Passatro, Kornuco, I want you to do something. "Saleen and the other magicians have set up the silent barrier. That's when he spoke.
"Master Salin, are you going to deal with the Three Kings? ”
The mages of Shreig Island knew what was happening outside the woods, and they also had a mind to do something about the Three Kings. But this is not Srieg Island, if on Srieg Island, more than thirty magicians plus the power of the magic tower, the three kings are nothing, but there are only two fifth-level mages here, which is not enough for the three kings to breathe.
Salin smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid, this matter is not urgent. Rex won't be back until April next year at the earliest, before that. I also have to rely on their strength. But as you know what happened today, the Three Kings are unreliable. So I'm going to ask for some help. ”
"Master Salin, what Lord Jason meant, it's better for this city not to be known to outsiders for the time being. "Passatro was one of Jason's most recent men, and he was very careful to dissuade Salin.
"It's okay, the person I'm looking for doesn't have any ambitions for the time being, so it's hard to say in the future. Salin thought of Aini's temper, and his heart was a little bottomless. After being separated for so long, does Aini still remember the original relationship? But with the things sent by Aini's parents in his hand, Aini still won't think much about it for the time being. Although the Clyde family is large, it is still inferior to Rex's power. When all the mages from Shreg Island arrived, Aini, a smart man, would of course choose which side to stand.
In three years' time, Aini should not become another person.
"But what about your safety as we leave?" asked both Passatero and Kornuco, worried. It was a great fate for Saleen to come back alive this time. It's hard to say next time.
"I'm already a fifth-level mage, and besides, I won't run that far again. Until Rex returns, I will operate under the protection of the Three Kings. Saleen assured the two magicians. He also knew that if something happened to him, Passatro and Kornuco would also be affected.
"Take this, go...... Go to the City of Glory, where the Clyde stronghold is, give the badge to Ani O. Clyde, and say I'm in trouble and need his help. ”
"That's it, who is Ani?" Passatero was a little wordy, but he couldn't be cautious, Salin was still young, and Jason specially instructed him to take care of everything.
"It's my friend, and I know his parents too, so don't worry. I'm going to get him here, and I'm going to ask you to hire some reliable people directly from the Clyde family. After the city was built, merchants and mercenaries were needed. The mages of Shreig Island can't do these things, and I only have a good relationship with the Clyde family among the four major business families of the empire. If only this Ani could be on top of the Clyde family. It will be much easier for us to do things in the future. ”
Kornuko frowned and said, "Please come with such a person, do you need the two of us?"
"Officially, it doesn't hurt, I'm going to write a letter to Ani, this letter is not to be seen by others, and if you can't keep it safe, you will burn it with magic. ”
Saleen has already made up his mind in his heart, after the construction of this city is built, there will be a lot of interests, the mages of Sleeper Island occupy the interests of magic, and the commercial interests will inevitably be divided, only relying on Sleeper Island, this city is dead. There must be mines in the north, and in the future there will be food, metal, and all kinds of magical materials here. He has decided to use his power to build momentum for Aini and gain a high position in the Clyde family.
It was much more pleasant to work with the Earl, and Ani, though a little cold, was more affectionate than the cunning fellow. If Aini grows up completely, the love between the two will become weaker and weaker.
Feelings need to be cultivated, didn't I still have a bad attitude towards Neris at first, and now I will be sad that Neris has been hurt.
