Chapter 160: Plant Spirits (Part II)
[Sorry, I made a mistake in the last chapter.] It was a fifth-level mage sent to find Aini, not Passatro and Kornuko. These two mages will be descendants of Salin in the future, and they are not of high rank, but they are loyal enough, and I apologize here. In addition, I will definitely go home in June, and I will not update quickly during this period, especially in the past few days, I try to save some manuscripts and strive to go home for more time. Once settled, it will definitely return to no less than nine thousand words per day]
The alchemy of Salin and Aini conquered all the mages in the temple, and Saleen's alchemy was the most difficult alchemy to practice. Aini's undead alchemy is even more unheard of, one person can control the plant undead and make thousands of complex movements, Aini's spiritual power must have reached the strength of a sixth-level magician, even close to a magician.
Of course, 50,000 arrows could not be done in one go, and after refining 12,000 arrows each, Salin and Aini had to stop. Sarin's magic strings were depleted, and Aini's necromantic flames crumbled, and the undead plants in the necromantic flames shrank to plants that were only one meter tall.
"Aini. You undead...... It's special. Salin looked at the undead plant that was recovering in the necromantic flame, and his cold vision turned on, but he didn't find the Achilles heel of this plant.
"Isn't yours special?" said Aini with a smile, not telling Saleen about the origin of her undead plant. In the letter, he saw that Saleen mentioned the Three Kings of the Dead, and he was tempted. In addition to helping Salin this time, he also has a purpose, if Salin wants to subdue the Three Kings of the Undead, he also plans to get one in his hands.
As a necromancer, if he can use the Undead King as a summoned creature, Aini's status in the family will immediately reach the pinnacle, directly enter the core decision-making circle, and may even become the heir to the title.
"The family has agreed that you are in charge of everything in this city?" Salin began to ask again, in this city, the four major business families will eventually all enter, forming a competitive environment. For Aini, of course, Salin will take extra care, but this care will not harm the interests of Shrig Island.
"Of course, I'm a fifth-level mage now, and it's extremely rare in my family. Ani laughed conceitedly. In the history of the Myers Continent, a fifth-level mage of his age was also extremely rare. If he hadn't been cursed by the Holy See's theorcerers, he would have achieved much more than that.
"Those three guys, it's not easy to deal with, I want two, you want one, how about it?"
"Good. "Aini is not greedy either, he already has a special undead plant with support abilities beyond ordinary undead. Now he only needs a combat-type minion, and that's all he needs. When you become a magician in the future, you can summon a large number of undead creatures by summoning for a long time, and you don't care about one more or less king-level undead.
Commanding the undead also requires the consumption of mental power, and the higher the level of the undead, the more mental power the mage consumes. Ani is not a walnut, he knows what is best for him. It's not that Aini is not greedy, it's just that the first thing people in this big family learn from a young age is how to choose.
With his relationship with Saleen, he will gain an endless source of wealth in this city in the future, and that is what Aini values.
Saleen is an orthodox mage and a pure Scorpian. In his letter, he made it clear to Aini that Aini liked this kind of communication, which was even more relaxed and pleasant than interacting with some people within the family.
"Your contract magic tells me what compensation is needed?"
"When I return your favor. Ani replied generously, and when he saw Saleen's eyes narrow, he added: "I still owe you a life, but I don't plan to pay you back this, lest you worry about me in the future." ”
Saleen laughed out loud, and Ani replied. It was the answer of the Orthodox Mage.
"I'm glad I got to know you in the first place. ”
"Me too. The situation on the mainland is very chaotic now, although it has not yet broken out, but when it breaks out, those rotten people in the family who do not understand changes will be automatically cleaned up. With you helping me, I am also full of confidence in the future. It's a bit early to tell, but if I were in charge of the Clydes, the Clydes would be Metatellin's friends forever. ”
Ani solemnly said Saleen's last name, which was almost the equivalent of an oath to the magician.
"Take your parents over too, the place in Holy Rock City is not very good, I always have a hunch that this time the turmoil in the continent, Holy Rock City will undergo drastic changes. ”
"Hunch?" Aini frowned. The magician said that it was a very ridiculous thing to have a hunch. But what Saleen said to him must have been something considered, not something that happened to him.
"Let them come, I have the good for you. Salin and Aini rested like this, neither of them regained their strength in a special way, just waiting for the magic strings and necromantic flames to recover naturally.
"What's the benefit?"
"Elaine of the Williams family, you know what?"
"You know, I beat her up when I was a kid. Ani's answer left Saleen speechless.
"That girl has a good talent, but unfortunately she's not a magician. The Williams family is richer than us, but they don't have any serious magicians, otherwise they would have stood out among the four major families. ”
Saleen thought for a moment and felt that Aini was right. Elaine had only a few low-level mages in her hunting team, and if there was even one great mage among them, the team would not have suffered that kind of dilemma. At the very least, the Grand Mage can save the entire team from starvation, and ensure that all the swordsmen maintain their combat effectiveness.
"The Williams family has a secret route in the north, and I think the Clyde family must want to be involved, right?"
Ani's eyelids jumped. Glancing at the door, he said in a low voice: "I have heard about this, but the Clyde family is not good at shipbuilding, besides, I see the people in your hands now...... That's good, why don't you get involved and give me this benefit?"
"Because in the future, whoever of you takes this route must be under my protection, and I will collect taxes, so why send my men to fight hard. Salin said bluntly.
"I'm sure I'm okay with this, the other two families will agree even if they give you benefits first, but why did the Williams family tell you this secret and pay you again?"
"Because in less than three years, the fleet of the Holy See will appear near this route. In the name of the Bitterwater Counties, I can sink all the ships that walk here. The Williams can't go and work with the Holy See, can they?"
"Holy See!" Ani's teeth rubbed slightly, and the Holy See had almost lost hope of his life. Even with his gloomy personality, when he heard that the Holy See was going to appear here, he couldn't hide his fierce murderous intentions.
"Salin, what about the Holy See, will definitely come?"
"I'm sure. Salin remembered the word the cardinal had uttered—heretic. The behemoth of the Holy See may tolerate other things, but it cannot tolerate the infidels. As long as you're still in the city. It will be like a lamp attracting moths, so that the Holy See will send people over in an endless stream. It is difficult to change in the short term on land and in the south, and only by sea and the northern route is the fastest choice for the Holy See.
"Do you have a drawing of a sea ship?"
"Yes, a lot. ”
"Okay, you set up a teleportation array as soon as possible, and I'll ask my parents to come over and take out all their real savings. I pay for it, you pay for it, I did it. ”
"On your mother's side, there should be loyal force, right?"
"You lack a swordsman?"
"There is no shortage. Rex is able to provide a regular army. My teacher also has a lot of staff, but I don't want to expose that for now. The Williams family's secret route is a long-term income, and I will share it with you. However, the premise was that the city was intact and that the port had enough strength to protect merchant ships. Time is running out now, and I'm eager to go to Skochenia to hire a ninth-level mercenary group. ”
Aini pondered, Salin wanted the family samurai on his mother's side, and the difference between them was very clear. If Saleen directly asked for the people of the Clyde family, it was an expression of in-depth cooperation, and now that Saleen wants the people of his mother's family, the meaning of which Ani immediately understood. Saleen is willing to give the benefits to himself, but it is not the same as giving the benefits to the Clyde family. In Saline's eyes, his status is higher than that of the Clyde family.
Unless, as he said, the family will be in his own hands in the future, it may become a cooperation between the Saleen and Clyde families.
Saleen's approach is understandable, this city is new, Saleen's power has not yet accumulated, if the benefits are directly distributed to the Clyde family, the Clyde family may be anti-guest.
"You just believe me that?" said Aini, looking at Salin's young face, and asked abruptly.
"When you escaped from that castle and you volunteered to stay and deal with Baron Cook, I regarded you as a true friend at that time. You're a person...... It's really not reassuring, but you want too much so that you won't hurt the rare friendship between us for this little thing, don't you say?"
"What do you think I want?" Ani laughed, putting away her serious expression.
"Maybe it's the Tangulas Empire, it's not going to be a small city anyway. Saleen also made a joke. If it were possible, Aini wouldn't mind destroying that empire as revenge for the original curse. In fact, Salin is not worried that Aini wants to annex the city, with the backing of Shrieg Island, the Clyde family can't do it with all the forces gathered. He really didn't want to hurt his friendship with Aini.
"Is that still a competition?"
"No, this time it's a tie at most. Salin completely put away Shui Yan and said, "I am also relieved of your current strength, and return to the original topic, how do we deal with those three guys?"
The Three Kings of the Undead, Saleen has decided to subdue them all. It's uncomfortable to have these three horrible creatures living in his city, even with all the mages of Sleeper Island around.
"We've got to think of a perfect contract trap. Ani pondered. He took out a magic book and handed it to Salin. Saleen opened the book and saw a handwritten line on the title page - an unfair magical contract. Turning the pages one by one, the contents of the book were imprinted in Saleen's mind, and it was extremely clear.
The essence of this book is how to modify key parts of contract magic to make it a deadly contract. At the beginning, the Nut Mercenary Group was negligent, and it was completely controlled by Aini, which shows how terrible this kind of contract is.
