The heart fragment of the puppet god, if he goes to the Abyss King City, Salin may be determined to get it. Because if his puppet world realm absorbs this thing, it will immediately become extremely powerful, and it can even surpass his water elemental realm right now.
But Jason told Saleen with facts that only what he created was the most perfect. For mages, the importance of the domain is self-evident, and the degree of perfection of the domain determines the understanding of the rules after the mage advances to the thirteen poles.
This puppet god, in Salin's judgment, will definitely not be a god above the fifteenth level, although the energy contained in this heart fragment makes Salin's heart move, but Salin has a magic furnace, any magic core, hedron, and even elemental creatures, put into it, can be transformed into pure energy.
A large magic furnace is worth about the same amount as this fragment. In half a year at most, the alchemy factory in Metatrin City will be able to create another magic furnace, and it will also create a large magic furnace at a rate of one every six months. As long as there are enough materials, Saleen will not be short of methods and equipment for energy output at all.
The Grand Master thought that the Mana Forges were nothing unusual, so he gave Salin all the manufacturing methods of the Mana Forge, all of which were of various models, sizes, and levels.
If it weren't for the scarcity of supplies relative to the Ancients, Saleen would now be able to craft all of the magic furnaces. In ancient times, this thing was originally intended for low-level professionals.
At that time, the strong man could tear apart the plane passage with his hands, where did he still need these things.
Salin said to Nellis, "Do you think you can be trusted?"
Neris shook her head, this tenth-level mage is too neutral and peaceful, this kind of person doesn't care about anything in essence, only he is the center of the world. This is Nellis's view of human nature after understanding.
"He wants my frozen islands, and now that I have warships cruising there, he won't be able to get his hands on them, but once I'm at war with the Iron Will, his men will easily take over all the veins. So, Nellis, send someone to Lianyun City, saying that I want to meet with the Iron and Blood Grand Duke, and the location cannot be in a place controlled by both sides, it is up to him to choose. ”
"Master, who should you send?"
"Nellis, of course it can't be you, the iron-blooded Grand Duke may not be willing to unite with me, and those who go must always be in danger. ”
"Then let the water golems go. ”
"Yes. Salin began to gradually let Neris make some decisions, he couldn't always let Nellis follow him as a bodyguard, sooner or later, Nellis would be independent. Now Nellis is often self-asserted, and she also has this need.
Neris must be held accountable, not just loyal to herself.
Children always have to grow up, and Nellis's character has left her, and something will happen sooner or later.
The Winged Skeleton received news from Salen and rushed back to Metatrin City that day. On the side of Ceylon City, the war is over, and the Winged Skull does not need to continue to help there, Viscount Guge has returned to Ceylon City, recruiting troops and horses with great fanfare, of course, it is all paid by Salin.
Guge is a person with ordinary strength, and he is not good at drilling camps, otherwise he would not have been in Ceylon City for so many years, and he would not have bribed the elder house of the imperial capital. But this person is good at defending, that is, as long as Saleen builds the city of Ceylon and gives the Guge people and money, the Guge can defend the territory demarcated by Sarin.
Such a person, in Salin's opinion, is also a very rare talent. Gug would have sent him to Ceylon City with all the people he had, and no one would feel wronged. Gug was able to take care of most of his lords. In a sense, Guge has the style of an ancient aristocracy, as well as some abilities.
The Winged Skull returned, but the Phantom Fang was not so fast, and the Winged Skull returned to Metatrin through the teleportation array, but the mechanical undead controlled the Ancient Warship and had to go from the sea. However, the Araku did not need to go directly back to Port Metatrin, and Saleen asked the mechanical undead to wait in the shipping lanes leading to the Frozen Sea.
In the vicinity of the Frozen Sea, tens of thousands of miles of sea, there are countless small islands, and in Saleen's absence, Jason built a large number of warships and controlled the islands with mineral veins in them. In the entire periphery of the Frozen Sea, there are now more than 600 warships of Metatrin City, all of which are controlled by demons.
This kind of strength, although it is not as good as the Yunliu Navy, the navies of several other empires are still incomparable. Moreover, all Metatrin warships are equipped with magic cannons, and there is a smallest-sized magic net, on which the demons act as magic controllers.
Of course, the tenth-level powerhouses are not afraid of these warships, but below the tenth level, even if it is the ninth level, it is difficult for them to show off their power on the periphery of the frozen sea, let alone deal with a huge number of demons, as well as all kinds of powerful equipment in Metatrin City.
The people of the Devil's Horn only knew that Metatrin City had a powerful navy surrounded by the frozen sea, and they did not dare to invade it rashly, and sent Gran to find out the details of Saleen.
Saleen dispatched his troops in the temple and decided to set a trap to sink the flying battleship of the Devil's Horn as soon as it dared to appear. The power of the devil's horn, Salin doesn't know how deep it is, but looking at Gran's attitude, it shouldn't be stronger than the iron-blooded Grand Duke.
Three days later, when Saleen had made arrangements, he called Gran again to discuss the deal.
Gran asked for 600 boats of ore, and apparently the Devil's Horn did not have 600 ships, so the value of this transaction was calculated according to the volume of 100,000 cubic meters per ship.
Salin suggested that the deposit was too small, and Gran didn't mind, so he simply took out more than sixty pieces of the puppet god's heart fragments, which were half of all the fragments, and the other half would only be delivered when he got Salin's ore.
Salin still refused, saying that he was also responsible for the safety of the cargo from the Arctic to Metatrin City, and that it would cost a lot to mobilize warships. He's right, the battleships in Metatrin City are all powered by magic, using a magic furnace and putting in magic cores. Although this is ninety percent less than the consumption of a simple mechanical battleship, a battleship goes to sea once, and it costs tens of thousands of gold coins.
Gran had no choice but to take out millions worth of magic cores to pay for Salin's protection.
Salin then mobilized the warships, a total of ten, to escort the armed merchant ships out to sea and went straight to the periphery of the frozen sea.
Gran went in person, but Salin didn't follow, and he arranged for Zola to take Elenor and two tenth-level mages from Sleeper Island to escort him.
Those two tenth-level mages were wearing white robes, and they didn't know what means Jason used, and even Salin couldn't see the level of these two mages, and only thought that they were low-level mages of the three extremes. These two mages are hidden among the great magicians who accompany the ship, and they are inconspicuous.
Salin arranged this matter, said goodbye to his teacher Shika, and went to the top of the continent in the north of Metatrin City, where there was a temple.
The water puppet brought back the news, and the iron-blooded Grand Duke politely declined Salin's invitation, only saying that there was no intention of continuing to attack Qin Yin now, and if the two sides wanted to cooperate, it would be something that could only be considered after at least a year.
This result was a bit of a surprise to Saleen, but the fact that the Iron Lord did not completely reject himself was good news.
To the north of the city of Metatrin, there are two temples left behind by the goddess, one of which is in the sea, and Saleen is in no hurry to explore, but the other is on land, and although there are no cities in the northern wilderness, there are an unknown number of professionals who practice.
Salin was in a hurry to dig out this temple, also because he planned to strip off his puppet world domain and the elemental creature realm and make it into two pieces of equipment, once the puppet world realm was stripped off, even if the heart fragment of the puppet god was added, it would not be as convenient to use as it is now.
Sarin drove the Elemental Magic Tower alone and took off from Metatrin City and headed straight for the temple in the north of the continent. The magic pattern of the Elemental Magic Tower was quickly repaired, and the flight speed could still reach more than three hundred miles, and Salin did not waste elemental creatures, only used the magic core as a power and threw it into the magic furnace.
In a little more than a day, Salin came to the area where the temple was located, which was a small plain covered with primeval forest. After Salin's Elemental Magic Tower landed near the coordinates, he searched for it with the Magic Compass.
The spatial passage where the temple was located happened to be directly north of the landing location of the magic tower, a distance of more than thirty miles. Saleen put away the Elemental Magic Tower and headed straight for the coordinates.
The forests of the north lose their leaves in winter, and there are only a few magical plants, and there are thin needles hanging from the treetops in the snow. The location that Salin found was covered with snow, this was the northernmost part of the continent, and the climate was cold, and the winter was two or three months earlier than the city of Metatrin.
Salin simply re-released the Elemental Magic Tower, suppressed it on the spatial passage, and then released the domain, attracting all the nearby snow to the outside of the magic tower, forming an ice castle.
The golems were stationed in the castle, and Saleen entered the spatial passage alone. Speaking of which, he didn't come alone, at least the three thousand six hundred demons in the Elemental Magic Tower could still help him fight. Lawson, the water puppet, can also manipulate the Elemental Magic Tower while he is away.
Not long after Saleen entered the space passage, an expedition team appeared outside the ice castle. The expedition consisted of six men, led by a warrior in ornate leather armor and five others, two mages, an archer, a Caucasian, and an Assassin.
The warrior at the head was not very old, and the oldest of the five people he commanded was only a seventh-level magician in his thirties. When the team approached the Ice Castle, they were not discovered by the golems, because the puppet world was not presided over by Salin, and these golems would not have done anything to the explorers if they were not attacked.
"How is there an ice castle here?" the Assassin approached with a magic compass in front of him, his profession was a magical assassin, that is, an assassin who had been transferred from a magic apprentice. Because there is no hope of learning magic, there are many people who switch to other professions. Such an assassin can also use low-level equipment, such as a magic compass.
"Haha, you see, there are puppets in this castle, and there is no sign of human activity. Brothers, let's find the ruins, and we're developed," the warrior in the ornate leather armor laughed, as if the ice castle that Salin had left behind was already in his pocket.
