Chapter 352: Salin's Legacy (I)
[At the end of yesterday's chapter.] The earl shall be a marquis. I was in a hurry and didn't read it again. Today's four watches, this is the first watch, ask for a ticket, any ticket is good, at the end of the year, my year, the most stable update, is from the end of November, I want to persevere, can hold on for a few months, everyone will support a few more months, thank you]
The equipment of Saleen's Metatrin mercenary regiment was replaced by the main battalion, and under the leadership of Aini, it marched to the border of the Principality of the Rhine. Most of the equipment of the soldiers in the city is flashy. Fortunately, the Holy See could not organize another expeditionary force in a few months, otherwise it would not reach the north until after winter.
The region controlled by the Kingdom of Metatrin is a nightmare once winter begins.
Of the 10,000 Bitterwater County soldiers in West Town, Salin did not move, and he and Rex had already been contacted. Rex, of course, agreed to unite with Saleen and divide up the lands north of Phoenix. She left these soldiers behind, and it was originally this intention. Because Saleen's direct involvement in Phoenix would cause the disgust of the nobles of the entire Qin Yin Empire, and if he united with himself, he would not have this worry.
Saleen had plenty of troops in the north, and Rex could provide nominal justification, with each side taking what they needed.
When the Phoenix battle situation opens, these 10,000 soldiers can be transferred to fill the loopholes.
Large-scale refining equipment, as soon as Salin handled it, he knew how difficult it was. Rex's magicians were familiar with this, but what Saleen wanted to make was too demanding. As a last resort, Saleen gathered the great mages around him to make high-level accessories, and let low-level mages and apprentices make low-level accessories.
Fortunately, the equipment designed by Elenor is something with strict specifications, and it can be made separately, which can also improve speed. But Salin ran out of materials.
His thundercloud wood and divine cherry wood can't only be used on the elven alchemy crossbow and elven wings, other equipment also needs these two rare materials. As a last resort, Salin sent both Winged Skull and Neris out to sea to continue salvaging the shipwreck.
As mentioned last time, the convergence point of the shipwreck's route has not yet been explored. Saleen himself did not dare to leave Metatrin for the time being. I can only endure it.
It's tough. The only thing Salin felt was that it was very difficult.
In the past, facing life and death, it was just a matter for him alone, but now around him, there are more than a hundred cronies gathered, and those nobles who have already strengthened their beliefs are also more than a hundred. These people's men, those who swore to follow, together numbered thousands. Everyone wants to have a future, and they need him as their backing.
It's nice to be needed, but it's also a burden. Saleen must hold on and there is no way back. Once upon a time, he could run away if he couldn't beat it, but now he couldn't abandon Metatrin, the city named after him.
Sika is also very busy, rarely comes to the temple, and has been training Caucasian soldiers in Nanyuan. The mage of Shreig Island, the mage of Bitterwater County. They all went to the alchemy factory and worked day and night to make equipment.
The inhabitants of the city, on the contrary, are a scene of peace. There are still competitive games in the arena every day, and the people of Metatrin City are used to watching the games, and in the same way, after a few days, one or two lucky winners will receive prize money. Although the top prize of 100 gold coins has not yet been obtained, there is still a lot of interest from the citizens.
Saleen came out of the alchemy factory that day, and went to the docks with Elenor to relax. When I came to the wharf, I saw that the prosperity on the wharf was unimaginable, there were hundreds of large and small ships in the port, the metal tracks on the wharf, the vehicles came and went, and the huge puppets carried thousands of pounds of boxes under the guidance of the apprentices, and the creaking sound sounded like gold coins rubbing.
Salin looked up and saw the lonely White Rock Mountain on the left, and his heart moved, and he said to Eleno, "Let's go up and have a look." ”
Salin didn't need to enter from the teleportation array, but took Elenor and flew directly to the mountain peak using the Cloud Walking Technique. The soldiers below recognized Saleen's skills, and only Saleen could use this kind of flying technique in the entire continent.
"My lord!" Truman, the magician who was guarding the mountain peak, saw the clouds of Salen flying from a distance, stood up, and greeted him at the entrance of the cave.
Salin flew into the cave inside the White Rock Mountain, dispersed the clouds and mist, and watched left and right. The area inside this stone cave is not small, and it is hexagonal shaped. The diameter is about 20 meters.
Six turrets, each facing an opening, with only the miniature magic cannon on the turret facing the harbor.
"Huh?" Salin's gaze fell back on Truman, and he asked in surprise, "Have you advanced to the rank of Great Mage?"
"Yes, sir. Truman stood with his hands down, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. He was a little older than Saleen, and when he came out of Shreig Island, he was just a three-pole mage.
It is still relatively easy for the fourth- and fifth-level mages under Salin to advance, and the accumulation on Shrieg Island is deep, and in the environment with strong elements in the temple, with Salin's guidance and cultivation, the accumulation of many years has exploded, and almost all the great mages have advanced.
But Truman, a three-pole magician, guards this fort every day, and has no chance to enter the temple at all. Salin arranged for him to be here because Truman had advanced to the Three Poles, and he still had to go a long way to become a great magician.
It's not that Saleen despises Truman, those low-level mages who follow Saleen in the temple haven't had a high-level great magician yet.
This Truman, he just sent someone to send a low-level magic core every day, and with such a little support, he will advance to the Great Magician!
"Truman. Which master is your teacher?" Salin thought to himself, this Truman's inheritance was probably some magician on Shreig Island.
"I don't have a teacher. Truman replied with a little difficulty, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. There are too many magicians on Sleeper Island, and if you want to win the favor of the magician, sometimes you have to rely on luck, and his luck has always been not good, many chances. They all slipped away from him.
"Truman, though, I'm only a sixth-level mage, you...... Would you like to be my student?" Sarin's words were a bit abrupt, although Truman was two levels different from him, he was both a great magician, and his identity was already very close. Speaking only of strength, it is not a problem for Truman to be his follower, and there is no such precedent as a student. When a great magician is a student of another great magician, some people will definitely think that Saleen is arrogant.
Truman stood there, his expression complicated, not knowing whether he was happy or sad. He grew up on the island of Shreig, and was born as the youngest son of a swordsman. This swordsman is a follower of a great magician, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he became an apprentice. After that, he didn't get any special guidance, just followed the great magician, often helped to do some magic experiments, he could read a lot of books, but he couldn't get human guidance.
"I do. Truman looked up, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
"So, let the Great Magician Elennor be a witness. Truman, you know, my teacher was Jason Statham. From now on, you will be a disciple of this lineage. Elena ......"
"Elenor?" Salin shouted twice, but saw Elenor staring at the magic cannon so engrossed that he couldn't hear his own call at all. This is too rare for an elf.
Reluctantly, Saleen unleashed a cleansing technique. As soon as the elements fluctuated, Elenor immediately came to her senses, adjusted her posture, and almost released an instantaneous defensive magic. That's when she realized that it was Saleen calling him.
"This, is it a magic cannon?" asked Elenor, pointing to the miniature cannon on the turret.
"Well, from the Second Dynasty. ”
"I want to touch ......"
"Touch it. Salin was helpless. In fact, when he first saw the magic cannon, he was in a similar mood.
Eleno's fingers gently stroked the magic cannon, and Salen saw that there were wisps of life breath flowing in Elenor's hands, wrapped around the magic cannon. In the quaint patterns on the surface of the magic cannon, there are mysterious rules, and Elenor is observing and learning.
It took about half an hour before Elenor stopped, panting tiredly.
"Congratulations, lord. Elenor gasped, and then congratulated Salin, it turned out that she had just heard Salin's words, but at the same time she was observing the magic cannon, and she couldn't interrupt.
Salin also felt very happy, Truman was able to advance to the level of a great magician without the guidance of a teacher, and the basic knowledge can be said to be very rich and stable. The inheritance of the teacher's lineage suddenly has a continuation.
In the cave where the fort is located, there are no furnishings, only a chair, which Truman sits on weekdays. He practiced in this chair and waited.
The apprenticeship of a magician is not as complicated as that of a swordsman, but there are several things that are indispensable. Although Truman was already a great magician, he still knelt down in front of Salin and saluted according to the ancient understanding.
Salin recalled what Jason had said to him at the beginning, and said slowly: "Truman, there is only one person in my lineage. Mr. Jason has no other students. I hope that you, one day, will become the most powerful mage in this line, surpassing me. ”
As he spoke, Salin took off his white crystal ring from his hand, handed it to Truman, and said, "This was given to me by the teacher, at that time, I thought it was just an ordinary white crystal ring, it turned out to be something that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the white crystal refined by a mage above level ten can quickly recover spiritual power." ”
Truman took the white crystal ring and put it on his finger, and Saleen continued: "At the beginning, I offended one of the counts of Scochenya, and that count is probably a sword master. I had no choice but to escape, and when I was leaving, the teacher gave me the ring. At that time, I was a first-class mage. ”
"Teacher?"
"Well, it's nothing, a moment of emotion. Truman, from now on, go to the temple and learn from me. Salin looked at the cave where the fort was located again, it was really cold and lonely, the wind was blowing in from all sides, and in the empty cave, it was too much of a test for people to wait here.
It's hard to endure this loneliness. For a magician, it may be an exercise, but since Truman is his own student, of course Salin wants to give him a better cultivation environment.
Truman raised his head, his expression had returned to calmness, and said, "Teacher, I'll be right here." ”
