Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Terror of the Mage (Part I)
Behind Kushui County is the mountainous area, and there are two trails from the mountains to the Principality of Garudan. It's just that these two roads are too small, and in some places they are simply a narrow valley road, which can barely be crossed by war horses, and the chariots transporting supplies are simply impassable.
Such terrain was not conducive to the movement of troops, and in the past, Rex only sent people to build a city in an open area, with four castles, and the number of soldiers that could accommodate them was extremely limited. However, if these two paths are completely opened, assuming that the bridge blows up the valley, the journey from Kushui County to Kaloulan will turn from more than a month to less than half a month.
"I asked Tinis to go to the Duchy of Titans, and I will take my father's swordsman battalion back to Kushui County, teacher, our great magician is enough, but there is a lack of magicians, please set up a magic array on the way to Garulan, and you must ensure the safety of Kushui County." ”
"Are you going now?" the sorcerer asked, a little worried. He only had two real students, Fallon was dead, and Rex was his only heir.
"No, I still have to stay in this castle for a few days, my father left me a lot of supplies, and I have to ask the teacher to bring them back to Kushui County. In addition, the location of this castle is too important, which nobleman's territory is nearby?"
The newly built castle is located just north of Kusui County, and if it can't be attacked from the small road, then the only road left to the east is here. To the east is the direction of Shengyan City, and if a foreign enemy invades, they will definitely not make a big circle to attack Kushui County. As long as this place is held, it will be difficult for the enemy to mobilize a large army into Kushui County.
"There is only one baron of the first rank, not even a castle. ”
"Let him be loyal to me, and I will make him a viscount and help him build a castle. ”
"Lace, it costs a lot of money. The sorcerer reminded.
"Teacher, I have money, but I lack people. I asked Tinis that Kushui now controlled all the cities within two hundred miles, but the army was less than 20,000. This is far from enough, this time you go back, don't leave Kushui County, all the accounts, let the people in the mansion handle it, I can't trust outsiders. ”
Ay...... The Magus sighed, he had grown up watching Rex, who was not just his student, but also his child. This kind of thing would not be done by any magician, but he could not refuse.
"Teacher, I will leave you the materials, enough to build a teleportation array with a permanent surname. This teleportation array ...... Build in your magic tower. ”
The teleportation array that Rex said was of course preparing to connect to the Divine Punishment Hell. It's just that it's easy to come back, but it's hard to go again. Rex was left with only the battle golem over there, unable to get accurate coordinates. The coordinates outside the castle can no longer be used, it is not safe here, and if you set up a teleportation array with a permanent surname, it is easy for outsiders to discover the secret.
Even so, Rex will have to spend a lot of time recalculating the coordinates between the two planes in the future, and will need the help of a large number of mages to return to Divine Punishment Hell.
After arranging everything, Rex stayed in the castle for another six days, transferring most of the military supplies, gold, magic cores, and magical equipment in the Ring of the HRE to the magician. Aside from what Joey gave her, she left only the build golem and the scroll.
The drive to construct the puppet requires a magic core of level seven or above, and Rex doesn't have much on hand, and she has a lot of blank scrolls, but she doesn't want to stay here longer, and in seven days, the magician made 21 seventh-level scrolls for Rex. Coupled with what she had left, she could also ensure some safety.
Saleen had also been replenished with a batch of Cores, and after thinking about it, he gave the Magus the map he had obtained from the temple.
"Master, I'm afraid I don't have time to study these magic arrays, please use them in the construction of Kushui County. ”
He knew very little about the magic array, and if he restarted his studies, it would inevitably affect his progress in magic. This thing is precious enough, and he has some heartache, but the magic cores that Rex gave him are also superb. In particular, the nine magic cores embedded in the demon bracelet were all cut eighth-level demon cores.
Of course, the magic core that can be set on the jewelry will not be a standard size, and most of it is the material left over from the cutting standard magic core. But once the magic core passes level seven, even the scraps are extremely precious, not to mention this kind of fine product that can cut out 24 sides.
Salin is not a greedy person, others treat him well, although he does not say it, but he will remember everything. The Wizard gave him the Core, in the hope that he would protect Rex. But before that, Faeron had also taught him selflessly.
Salin hadn't done anything for the past six days, he was practicing the puppet. Unlike the battle golem made by Rex, the Construct Golem does not have the skeleton of a creature inside, and is simply an alchemy machine. All movements are controlled by the magic array. Rex can control at least six at once, while Saleen has some trouble controlling the second.
By the time Rex was about to leave, Saleen still hadn't been able to completely learn how to construct a puppet, which was also something that couldn't be helped, and he was particularly unfamiliar with the Yakuza Magic Array. If it's a simple natural activation type magic array, it's fine, but when it comes to this kind of magic array that needs to be indulged all the time, the most suitable for him is the demon hunting spider puppet created by Aini's parents.
The Magus originally wanted to send some swordsmen to follow Rex, but Rex refused without hesitation. In Alchemy City, even the Sword Saint has no status. On the contrary, people like Shika and Neris who have not learned sword qi are not discriminated against. She was going to Alchemy City for activities, and of course she couldn't bring a bunch of bodyguards with her.
Salin couldn't quite understand Rex's approach, staying in Kushui County, even if he was suppressed by the Holy Rock City, he could cultivate with peace of mind, and with Rex's qualifications, becoming a magician would be a matter of ten years. Attracting sorcerers with the secret of God's punishment of hell was dangerous in Saleen's eyes.
Only Jason is the one he can rest assured of, and the teacher should also be a sixth-level great magician. There is still some distance from the Magus, why does Rex believe that Jason will help her?
Saleen doesn't think there's anything wrong with not bringing a swordsman, Neris and Sika are the best warriors, plus the constructed puppets he and Rex carry, as long as they don't leave the Qin Yin Empire, there won't be much risk.
Qin Yin's number of nobles is the smallest among the four empires, but the strength of the local nobles is also the strongest. The living space of the thief group is very small, and any large thief group will soon be wiped out by the surrounding noble forces. Qin Yin paid attention to agriculture, and the nobles protected the peasants very closely, which stabilized the security of the Qin Yin Empire in disguise.
Pack up and go on the road, the mage's outfit is the least, especially the mage who has reached level six, can use space equipment. Rex and his party, with eight horses, left the castle under the gaze of thousands of warriors.
The location of this castle is in the northwest of the Qin Yin Empire, and the alchemy city is in the southeast, thousands of miles away. As soon as Rex left, the Wizard left. The Grand Magician from Kushui County redesigned the structure of the castle and began to expand.
The castle that can accommodate 3,000 people is already large, and the terrain here is not open enough, and although it is guarded by the main road, no nobles have ever built a large city here. The magician chose a site near the road and began to build a second castle, wanting to completely block the road to the south, which could not be done without an army of more than 20,000.
It is also nearly a thousand miles away from Kushui County, and there are more than a dozen noble territories in the middle, but this direction is far away from Holy Rock City, and these dozen or so small nobles were bought by Rex's people one by one and invested in Kushui County.
Rex seemed to have completely given up thinking about these things behind him, and the four of them were not in a hurry to hurry, all the way to the east, first bypassing thousands of miles of mountainous areas, and then continuing to the southeast.
Qin was mountainous in the north, and this east-west road also took the empire hundreds of years to open up. This road leads directly to the Principality of Garudan and is the most important transportation route in the north. Qin Yin the Emperor died in battle, and the impact on Qin Yin was still relatively large, passing through the two cities, Salin saw a relatively strict guard.
"Rex, can you still mobilize your men?" Salin rode alongside Rex, the slower speed of the horse, just in time for Saleen to practice his equestrian skills.
"What do you want to do?" Rex said more than he could after leaving the castle, and the expression on his face no longer looked like he had been frozen by frost.
Saleen listened to her, and he could really mobilize some manpower. He said, "I want to contact the Clyde family." ”
"Salin, until we see your teacher, let's not go to anyone else. Rex refused Salin's request.
"I'm not looking for Aini, Rex, we have a lot of blank scrolls that only need a small amount of gold to exchange for a scroll that has stored magic. ”
"Salin, unless we can gather hundreds of magicians to fill these blank scrolls, do you think the Clyde family has this ability? The production of high-level scrolls is very difficult, and the Clyde family will not have so much inventory. ”
"At least intermediate reels ......"
"I'll do it for you. Rex smiled. Salin obviously has a strong sense of crisis, in fact, the two of them, one is a fourth-level magician and the other is a sixth-level magician, and there is almost no danger when they walk outside. Because sixth-level magicians generally choose to practice and find a place to build a magic tower, most of the magicians who walk around outside are magicians below the third level.
As for the swordsman, in the Qin Yin Empire, it was a felony for a swordsman to attack a magician.
Salin had nothing to say, he had a large number of blank scrolls, but the worst were intermediate scrolls, requiring at least a level 5 mage to use. Magicians are also restricted from making scrolls, and if they want to guarantee a success rate, level 4 mages can only go and make level 3 scrolls. If you barely make a fourth-level scroll, the success rate is only ten percent. If you try to make a level 5 scroll, it would be good to succeed once in a hundred times.
Only a ninth-level mage could break through this obstacle, and Saleen could only sigh at his large number of blank scrolls now.
