Chapter 138: The Booby Trap Plan (Part II)

[Why?, why don't I have glamorous chapter names?]

The terrain north of Phoenix is very pristine. The river that Saleen chose as a trap had been diverted several times, and what Daniel had to do was to dredge the river upstream and build a dam that could be dug up at any time. Once the dam is opened, the river flows into another channel.

Because it was cleaning up the existing river, Daniel's work was progressing very quickly. Giant undead creatures are more effective than any golem, after all, there is only so much a mage can do to command a low-level golem, while a summoned creature is like a part of the mage's own body, capable of doing what a golem cannot.

There were huge rocks in the river, and the undead corrosive magic unleashed by the twin horns on Pisius' three heads could effectively destroy the white stones, and soon Daniel was halfway through the work.

The magicians on Shreg Island also commanded the large puppets to set traps, and on both sides of the original river, Salin piled up a large number of stones, which were almost a hundred meters high, and he mined them frantically every day. These stones are placed on the magic array, and as soon as the magic circle is activated, these mountain-heavy stones will immediately tilt and fall into the river, cutting off the river.

In the history of the Myers Continent, it was not very difficult to cut off the river, and a ninth-level magician could easily block a small river. The trouble with Saleen now is that the river is not wide, though. But the river was fast and deep, and while he cut off the river, he had to make sure that the thunder dragon could not break through the obstacles and return to the sea.

None of the people around Khazarin were now beyond the level of a magician, and he had to use the most primitive methods to do this.

The Thunderdragon was faster in the water than any other warship, and Saleen had to make sure that the Thunderdragon could not return when the river was cut off. When the thunder dragon rushes back, the magicians on both sides of the strait must also evacuate safely. If you wait on the shore, other people may not have the ability to withstand electricity like yourself and Nellis.

After the downstream of the river is blocked, the river must be cut off upstream and the river will be diverted, otherwise the river will spread over the stones blocking the river, and the thunder dragon cannot leave the water, once the water overflows the artificial embankment, the dragon returns to the sea, and Saleen will no longer be able to deal with the thunder dragon.

Even if the brontosaurus is not a sapient creature, it will not step into the same trap twice.

Seeing that the trap was almost arranged, Salin and Neris sat by the river, watching the magicians set up the magic array. In order to get so much stone into this river tens of meters deep, it is necessary to put it in one go. One magic array is not enough, this is a thousand times greater than the consumption of the magic stone cannon.

The strength of human beings is amazing, even if it is not as good as it was tens of millions of years ago, but so many relatively weak human beings can be organized together to kill an eighth-level thunder dragon. Hundreds of people worked together, and everyone was as weak as an ant to the thunder dragon.

The river water is icy and biting, even on the shore. Saleen could also feel the breath of the wind blowing in a way that was full of slaughter. The environment in the north is really harsh, no wonder no nobles are willing to come and cultivate the land here.

It costs more gold to feed a peasant here, and taxes are paid to the empire.

"Nellis, what is your hometown?" Salin remembered his home, Ceylon City, and he didn't know when he would be able to go back. Now Salin no longer has the idea of going back and astonishing everyone who knows him, that would be naïve. After becoming a Grand Mage, Salin no longer thinks about the gaze of ordinary people.

Except for feeling a little sorry for Guge, Salin took Viscount Guge's money, but didn't help him with anything. However, he had this feeling, and for Viscount Guge, the investment was half the battle. As long as Saleen can go back in the future, it will inevitably bring great benefits to Viscount Guge.

Skocchia is not an alchemy city, where the status of magicians is clearly higher. Although the mages of Alchemy City seem to be able to despise other professions, the competition between mages is too fierce, and it is not uncommon for ordinary mages, apprentices, and great mages to be everywhere. The real power is only in the hands of the magicians.

For example, these magicians sent by Jason to Salin must carry out Jason's orders without reservation. Unless they become magicians, Jason will always have the right to control them.

It looks very noble, but in fact it is hierarchical. That's something Saleen doesn't like. If there was any world he wanted the mage to live in, Rex's ideals were what Saleen was willing to accept, even if it was too unrealistic.

"I've told you everything. "Neris is very tired now, and she uses her bracelet to carry a large amount of stones, which is also mentally draining. So she didn't have the consciousness of a contract creature at all, and didn't want to answer Saleen's question.

"In my hometown, rivers freeze in winter. The harbor will also be closed for a short time. I've heard that further north, there are floating mountains on the sea, all of which are ice. ”

"Hmm. Neris replied lazily, absent-mindedly. Both Shika and Rex left, leaving her a little confused. It would be nice if Schika stayed, and although Rex was nice to her, she didn't like someone who was too controlling. Saleen, despite getting stronger and stronger in front of Rex, couldn't change the difference in the rankings.

"You don't want to go back and see?" Salin seems to have a lot of nonsense today, he rarely talks to others, and most of the time he squeezes out to practice magic.

"Yes, but it doesn't make sense, you can't go with me. ”

"Why not? Neris, do you think I'm such an unkind person?"

"Master, you're too weak, I don't want you to be eaten by a big demon. Nellis's answer was unkind.

Salin didn't care about Neris's bluntness, he looked at the large puppets on the other side of the river, and said to Nellis, "If I become a ninth-level magician, it is possible to go back with you, right?" ”

"Haven't you been to half of the plane? ”

"It was entered by an oracle. I hope that one day, I will be able to come and go freely in all planes, just like people used to be. ”

"I remember you wanted a boat, you couldn't even walk freely on the plane of Myers, so don't talk this nonsense. Naris replied in a vicious manner.

"Hey, then I'll build a big ship that can go in and out of all planes, and bring all my friends with me. ”

"Master, who else is your friend besides Sika? Rex is a partner, isn't it? ”

Salin was dumbfounded by Neris's words, and he was suddenly struck by Naris's words, indeed, during the time he lived in the county lord's mansion, none of the magicians in the courtyard became his friends. He couldn't find anyone he could fully trust except for Shika.

This can't be blamed on others, life since childhood, made him full of vigilance about everything. At best, his state of mind was more normal than Aini's. Maybe it's because of this that he has a good relationship with Aini. The problem is that Aini can only be regarded as half a friend, and when the real danger comes, Saleen can't safely give Aini's back to him.

"I still have teachers. There was silence for a long time before Salin could hold back such a sentence.

"Gratitude, trust, attachment. These are all so-called human emotions, right?" Neris has been reading a lot lately, and she is becoming less and less like a demon. Her words hit the nail on the head, and Saleen trusted Jason because everything he had could be said to have been given by Jason. Without Jason, Saleen wouldn't be where he is today, and if Jason wanted to take it all back, Saleen wouldn't refuse.

The reason why Salin is so desperate for Rex's affairs is most likely because he wants Jason to have a six-dimensional space. This is the reward. Salin now wants to honor his parents, but his parents died early, and the person he can repay becomes Jason.

Nellis was so accurate. Saleen was like a grass without roots, and he longed to reach deep into the earth and be embraced.

"Master, this Neris is too bad, you should punish her!" Salin's voice sounded again in Salin's head.

Salin said casually, "She'll be very sad then." ”

"What?" Nellis thought Salin was talking to herself.

Salen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said to Nellis: "Wingskull said that your attitude is bad, let me punish you, do you think it should be like this?"

"Hmph, this guy ......"

It occurred to Neris that now Salin had more than one contract creature of her own, and she hadn't found one more competitor. Listening to Salin, this winged skeleton is very loyal, and in the long run, Saleen may really alienate himself.

Thinking of this, Neris immediately put on a smiling face, leaned over to Salin, and said to Salin in a low voice: "Master, I don't mind, you come and punish me." ”

"What are you doing!" Salin was bewildered by Neris's sudden change of attitude.

Nellis blew in Saline's ear with her mouth,** Salin: "Master, didn't you say that I was your maid? ”

Salin regretted a little at this time that she had made Neris literate, and Nellis didn't need to practice like him, and she had a lot of time. When she was cultivating in Salin, Neris read books in addition to sleeping. The more books Nellis reads, the more troublesome it becomes.

No matter how cunning demons are, they are essentially simpler than humans. Neris is now a demon tainted by the human spirit, and she's reaching into Sarin's clothes, all the way down.

"Stop!" Salin shouted, so loud that even the magicians in the distance could hear it, and many people looked over, and everyone saw an enviable scene. Sarin's stunning maid was nestled in his arms.

Magicians are not all stones, and many people will envy Saleen. There is a heroic and beautiful female warrior to protect her, and a maid with a look that will amaze anyone is waiting by her side. His friend was also a county king of the empire, with a large territory.

For these magicians on the Isle of Shreig, Saleen's life was much more exciting than theirs. Moreover, Saleen is Jason's only student, and many magicians believe that sooner or later Jason will take over everything on Sleeper Island, and if Saleen fights, it will all belong to him in the end.
