Chapter 224: Irresistible Temptation (Part II)
Refining magic armor is relatively easy. Saleen's mastery of Shui Yan is getting deeper and deeper, and this time Rex carries a large number of drawings, he no longer has to design it himself, nor does he need to make detours, he only needs to refine it according to the drawings. Rex's magic armor blueprints are a secret of the royal family of Gryukus.
The matter of summoning mechanical undead is very troublesome, but the three kings did not refuse, they hated Saleen in their hearts, and they would be even happier if they could let the mechanical undead cause disaster on the continent of Myers.
Metatrin City has become a mess because of the extra 100,000 people. In fact, even if the city accommodates a million people, it will not be too crowded, but these people came here in a hurry and belong to different nobles. The aristocrats brought a large amount of property with them, and moved everything they could to use to the city of Saleen, which was certainly very beneficial to the city, but when they first arrived, it was certainly difficult to communicate with each other, and friction would occur.
Fortunately, Rex's people were able to suppress it, but they didn't get into any trouble.
This continued for more than a month before calm returned to the city of Metatrin. At this time, there was news that made Salin a little happy, and the battle in Lianyun City had a preliminary result. Shengyan City sent five elite swordsman battalions to set off with war puppets to fight a decisive battle with the East China Sea Expeditionary Force on the Clark Plain south of Lianyun City, killing half of the enemy.
The continent shook, and although Sephiroth exposed the true power of the war puppet, he also gained the benefits, and the Tangulas army, which was already about to enter the empire on the border of Garulan, suddenly stopped and did not continue to advance.
After Sephiroth mobilized his troops in succession and swept away several riots in the south, the empire calmed down temporarily. The expeditionary force was forced back to Lianyun City, defending it with its back to the sea. But this situation will not last long, the armies of the East China Sea countries are not enough to carry food, although they have plundered the Myers continent, but Qin is very stubborn because the nobles are very stubborn, and their cities are destroyed, they will also burn all the grain first.
The expeditionary forces in the East China Sea could barely grab enough food to make ends meet, but they couldn't afford it, because Alchemy City was said to have dispatched warships to help Holy Rock City clear the sea.
Originally, if Alchemy City controlled Lianyun City, it would be more difficult to deal with than the East China Sea Fleet, but Salin knew that the East China Sea Fleet would attack Rex's ship, but Alchemy City would definitely not.
Even if the relationship between Rex and Sephiroth has reached the point where they are about to meet each other, Alchemy City will have to consider the issue of Rex's identity. Hands-on on royalty. It will cause the Holy Rock City to be vigilant. Unless Alchemy City is already planning to expand its power and control the continent. Otherwise, Rex's business would never be affected again, and the sea passage would be opened.
It was busy until July, and when Saleen was a little anxious, Rex finally got everything ready and was about to go.
Salin left Daniel to take care of the temple, and Lake's bitter water army was taken care of by herself, but her county affairs were handed over to Juan. Saleen admires Rex's wrist very much, Juan is not a powerful mage, and he still has some status by Rex's side, but it is not enough to suppress everyone and let him act as an internal minister, Juan can't make a trick anyway.
And Juan is an ambitious person, since he can't make a trick, he will definitely be conscientious and handle all affairs well, and he will not let people seize the handle. This is called making the best use of things and making the best use of people's talents.
It is already a great thing to be able to take advantage of a person's excellence, and if you can take advantage of a person's character. Then this is already an imperial technique, which can govern a country.
The two young Caucasians tried to follow Sika alive and dead, but they were driven back by Sika with a serious face. These two young Caucasians are very strong, almost the most powerful fighting force around Sika, and they are usually in charge of Sika's guards.
Before leaving, Saleen met with Aini in private and talked secretly for half the night. The next day, a convoy quietly left Metatrin City.
The convoy consisted of four vehicles, all of which were drawn by skeletal warhorses. The two in the middle were modified from magic chariots, and the four skeleton horses were a little weird, their bones were obviously much thicker, and there was no soul fire beating in their eyes.
The four skeletal horses were transformed from mechanical undead, with a sharp thorn on their foreheads, like unicorn undead.
The space of the magic chariot was much larger than that of a normal carriage, and the other two carriages were ordinary wagons for loading, loaded with some cargo for pretense. Both Saleen and Rex have huge magical space and don't really need the other two carriages at all.
But this trip, after all, you have to do something to hide people's eyes. There won't be any spies in Metatrin City for the time being, but passing through Phoenix will definitely attract the attention of Saint Rock City.
Both Rex and Salin put on the brocade robes of the Cloud Flow Empire, and did not wear magic robes. Rex's colorful magic robe is too eye-catching, Salin doesn't need any magic robe, his demon magic robe is close to the body.
Neris happily followed Saleen's side, and before leaving, the damn bone finally gave her specific coordinates, and as long as she collected all the things she needed, she could start summoning demons. It's still not safe to summon demons outside, and Nellis isn't sure she'll be able to control it. But she can first familiarize herself with the location of the coordinates and keep experimenting. Once you're back in Metatrin City, you'll be able to summon a powerful demon at once, and let the Winged Skulls help subdue it.
What's more, once you're out of Metatrin City, you'll no longer have to help the Winged Skeletons salvage shipwrecks under the sea. The icy waters of the deep sea almost made Neris sit down sick, and she rarely even bathed now, except for Saleen who often performed cleaning spells on her behalf.
What worries Saleen doesn't happen, and although Schika is still very close to him, he doesn't talk about having children on the road. After all, Sika is also afraid that if he really has a child on the road, it will affect this adventure.
Zola was happy and miserable at the same time, happy that there were five beautiful women in the team, and painfully, he could not touch any of them.
When the convoy entered the middle of Phoenix, Saleen's mind settled down slightly, and he found that there was still twenty-five people in the team, and this person was the mysterious assassin next to Rex. This assassin's abilities have obviously improved significantly from the last time they were seen. This progress is like the advancement of a magician, and the difference is huge.
Saleen's mental power is no different from that of a magician, but it took so long to discover the existence of an assassin. It is enough to prove the strength of this assassin. Moreover, Saleen found this Assassin because he was too familiar with this Assassin. The Assassin had teased him with his mental powers.
With this powerful Assassin presence, ordinary enemies could no longer pose any threat to Saleen's team.
The territory of Phoenix is calm, the city of the sun has succumbed, and the nobles of Phoenix have learned of the appearance of the war puppets and surrendered. Perhaps their original resistance was just a show, and the Holy Rock City took the baby of unknown origin in his hands and gave him the position of Grand Duke, and in the future, Phoenix will no longer have any independence.
All the local nobility understood this, this time. Sephiroth won, but in the days to come, his troubles were just beginning.
Salin didn't think about Qin Yin's situation, those were things that Rex was worried about, he only cared about the seeds of the four divine trees.
The convoy followed Phoenix's westward border and stopped at the town of Deep Woods, where Baron Pijac, who had been sent back, was still alive, and he wept bitterly when he saw Saleen. Saleen comforted him and left him some gold coins to hold on here a little longer.
The main purpose of Holy Rock City is to control Sun City, a border town like him, which is close to the Warcraft Forest, and no one pays attention to it except for the adventure team.
Baron Pijac was also helpless, his family was left in Metatrin City, and it was impossible for him not to listen to Saleen. Knowing that Sephiroth had not carried out a purge, why did he take refuge in the country of Kushui? Baron Pijac regretted it so much that he wanted to die.
Saleen went out this time, and after having Rex's magic map, it went a lot smoother. Even in the wild, Rex was able to find a suitable camping spot, and he was hardly harassed by any monsters. It took the convoy more than a month to travel through the whole of Phoenix to Callouland.
The army of the Tangulas Empire was a hundred miles away from the border of Garolan, and it was very embarrassing, and I didn't know whether it was better to attack or go back. Shengyan City has launched a general attack on Lianyun City, and as long as the battle is over, the war puppet can be transferred to Garulan.
Salin and his party passed through this gap more than 100 miles wide, leaving no trace in the territory of Qin Yin, and marched directly to the Titan Principality.
The Duchy of Titan was a powerful principality under the Cloudflow Empire, even twice as large as Garolan before it collapsed. If it weren't for the bad geographical location, the strength of the Titan Principality would be almost enough to form a small empire. But because it is inland and surrounded by enemies on three sides, the Titan Principality has never dared to break away from the Yunliu Empire.
The emperor of the Yunliu Empire is very good-looking, even if he is a little sloppy in words. will attract the attack of a large army. So the personalities of the Principality of Titan are more complicated. On the one hand, the Titans are very cautious and careful, and on the other hand, the mad Titans will be desperate and behave in a shocking manner.
This is also the result of a long period of repression, which has perverted a country and people that should be strong.
The location of the third temple is in the territory of the Duchy of Titans. As for the Purgatory Desert, which is actually in the southwest of the Duchy of Titans, as long as Rex and his party find the specific location of the third temple in the Duchy of Titans, they can teleport this coordinate back to Metatrin City, and let the magician calculate the detailed coordinates of the main temple. When the time comes, the group will be able to enter the Purgatory Desert.
During this time, Salin and the others will stay in the Duchy for about three months, and almost a year will pass.
