Salin might have been determined to obtain the heart fragment of the Puppet God before going to the Abyss King City. Because if his puppet world domain absorbs this thing, it will immediately become extremely powerful, and can even surpass his water element domain at the moment.
But Jason told Salin with facts that only what he creates is the most perfect. For a mage, the importance of the field is self-evident, and the perfection of the field determines the mage's understanding of the rules after he advances to the Thirteenth Level.
In Salin's judgment, this puppet god is definitely not a god above the fifteenth level. Although the energy contained in this heart fragment makes Salin's heart beat, Salin has a magic furnace and any magic core. Crystals, and even elemental creatures, can be converted into pure energy when put into it.
The value of a large magic furnace is almost the same as this fragment. In at most half a year, Metatrin City's alchemy factory can create another magic furnace, and it will also create large-scale magic furnaces at a rate of one every six months. As long as there are enough materials, Saleen will not lack methods and equipment for energy output.
The grand master thought that the magic furnace was nothing unusual, so he gave Salin all the manufacturing methods of the magic furnace, including various models, sizes, and levels.
If supplies were not too scarce compared to ancient times, Saleen could now create all magic furnaces. In ancient times, this thing was originally used by low-level professionals.
The strong men at that time could tear apart the plane passages with both hands, so there was no need for these things.
Salin said to Nailis: "Do you think Gran is trustworthy?"
Nailis shook her head. This tenth-level mage was too upright and peaceful. This kind of person essentially didn't care about anything. Only he himself was the center of the world. This is Nelisse’s view after understanding human nature.
"He wants the islands on the outskirts of my frozen sea. Now that I have battleships patrolling there, it will be difficult for him to get it. But once I fight the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke, his people will easily capture all the mineral veins. So, Nai Liz, send someone to Lianyun City and tell me that I want to meet with the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke. The location cannot be in a place controlled by both parties, and it is up to him to choose."
"Master, who should I send?"
"Nelisse, of course it can't be you. The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke may not be willing to join forces with me. Anyone who goes there will always be in danger."
"Then let the water puppet go."
"Okay." Salin began to gradually let Nailis make some decisions. He could not always let Nailis follow him as a bodyguard. Sooner or later, Nailis would have to be independent. Nellis often makes her own decisions now, and she also has this need.
Naerys must be given a sense of responsibility, not just loyalty to herself.
Children have to grow up, and if Nelisse's character leaves her, something will happen sooner or later.
Wing Skeleton received the news from Saleen and rushed back to Metatrin City that day. Over in Ceylon City, the war was almost over, and Wing Skull no longer needed to continue to help there. Viscount Guge had returned to Ceylon City and was recruiting troops with great fanfare. Of course, it was all paid for by Salin.
Guge was a man of average strength and not good at camp hunting. Otherwise, he would not have been in Ceylon City for so many years and would not have bribed the Council of Elders in the imperial capital. But this man is good at defending the territory. In other words, as long as Salin builds the city of Ceylon and gives Guge people and money, Guge can defend the territory designated by Salin.
In Salin's opinion, such people are also very rare talents. Guge will arrange the people he sends to Ceylon City so that no one will feel wronged. Guge can even take good care of most of the people in the territory. In a sense, Guge has the style of an ancient aristocrat and also has some abilities.
The Winged Skeleton came back, but the Fantasy Fang was not so fast. The Winged Skeleton returned to Metatlin through the teleportation array, but the mechanical undead controlled the ancient battleship and had to leave by sea. However, the ancient warship did not need to return directly to Port Metatrin. Saleen asked the mechanical undead to wait on the channel leading to the frozen sea.
Near the frozen sea, there are countless small islands in the tens of thousands of miles of sea. When Salin was away, Jason built a large number of warships and controlled the islands with mineral veins. On the periphery of the entire frozen sea, there are now more than 600 Metatrin City warships, all controlled by demons.
Although this kind of power is not as good as the Yunliu Navy, it is still incomparable to the navies of several other empires. Moreover, all Metatlin's battleships are equipped with magic cannons and a smallest magic net, with familiars acting as magic controllers on it.
Although the tenth-level warriors are not afraid of these battleships, but below the tenth level, even the ninth level, it is difficult to show off their power outside the Frozen Sea, let alone deal with a huge number of demons, as well as the various powerful forces in Metatron City. equipment.
The people in Devil's Corner only knew that Metatrin City had a powerful navy outside the Frozen Sea, and they did not dare to invade it rashly. They sent Gran here just to find out the details of Salin.
Saleen mobilized his troops in the temple and decided to set up a trap. As long as the Devil's Horn flying warship dared to appear, he would immediately sink it. Salin didn't know how deep the power of the Devil's Horn was, but judging from Gran's attitude, he shouldn't be stronger than the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke.
Three days later, after Salin made arrangements, he called Gran again to discuss the deal.
Gran wanted 600 ships of ore. Obviously Devil's Horn did not have 600 ships, so the value of the transaction was calculated based on the volume of 100,000 cubic meters per ship.
Saleen proposed that the deposit was too small, but Gran didn't mind. He simply took out more than sixty heart fragments of the Puppet God. This was half of all the fragments. The other half would be delivered only when Saleen's ore was obtained. .
Saleen still refused, saying that he was also responsible for the safety of the goods from the Arctic waters to Metatron City, and it would cost a lot to mobilize warships. He was right. Metatrin City's battleships were all driven by magic power. They used magic furnaces and used magic cores. Although this is 90% less expensive than a simple mechanical battleship, a battleship going to sea once costs tens of thousands of gold coins.
Gran had no choice but to take out millions of magic cores to pay Salin's protection fee.
Only then did Saleen mobilized ten warships in total to escort the armed merchant ships out to sea, heading straight to the outskirts of the frozen sea.
Gran went there in person, but Salin did not go with him. He arranged for Zola to take Elinor and two tenth-level mages from Srig Island to escort him.
The two tenth-level mages were wearing white robes. I don’t know what method Jason used. Even Salin couldn’t tell the level of these two mages. He only thought they were low-level mages from the three extremes. These two mages were hidden among the great magicians on the ship, making them inconspicuous.
Salin arranged things here and said goodbye to his teacher Sika. He went alone to the top of the continent north of Metatrin City, where there was a temple.
The water puppet brought back the news that the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke declined Saleen's invitation. He only said that he had no plans to continue attacking Qin Yin. If the two sides wanted to cooperate, it would be something that could only be considered after at least a year.
This result surprised Salin, but it was good news that the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke did not completely reject him.
North of Metatrin City, there are two temples left by the goddess. One of them is in the sea. Saleen is not in a hurry to explore it, but there is another one on land. Although there are no cities in the northern wilderness, there are an unknown number of professions. The person is practicing.
Salin is anxious to excavate this temple because he plans to separate his puppet world domain and elemental creature domain and make two pieces of equipment. Once the puppet world domain is stripped off, he can use it even if he adds the heart fragment of the puppet god. It won't be as convenient as it is now.
Saleen drove the elemental magic tower alone, 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 flying speed could still reach more than three hundred miles. Saleen did not waste elemental creatures, and only used the magic core as power to throw into the magic furnace.
In more than a day, Salin arrived at the area where the temple is located, which is a small plain covered with virgin forest. After Saleen's elemental magic tower landed near the coordinates, he used his magic compass to search for it.
The space passage where the temple is located is exactly north of where the magic tower landed, more than thirty miles away. Saleen put away the elemental magic tower and headed straight for the coordinates.
The forests in the north will lose their leaves in winter. There are only a few magical plants, and there are still thin needles hanging on the treetops in the snow. The location Salin found was already covered with snow. It was the northernmost part of the continent and had a cold climate. Winter was two or three months earlier than Metatron City.
Saleen simply re-released the elemental magic tower, suppressed it on the space passage, and then released the domain, attracting all the nearby snow outside the magic tower, forming an ice and snow castle.
The puppets were stationed in the castle, and Salin entered the space channel alone. Speaking of which, he didn't come alone. At least the 3,600 familiars in the Elemental Magic Tower could help him fight. The water puppet Rosen can also control the elemental magic tower when he is gone.
Not long after Saleen entered the space channel, an exploration team appeared outside the ice and snow castle. This expedition team consists of six people. The leader is a warrior wearing gorgeous leather armor. The other five people are two mages, an archer, a Caucasian, and an assassin.
The leading warrior was young, and the oldest of the five men he commanded was only a seventh-level mage in his thirties. When this team approached the Ice and Snow Castle, they were not discovered by the puppets, because the puppet world was not controlled by Saleen. If these puppets were not attacked, they would basically not attack the explorers.
"Huh? Why is there an ice and snow castle here?" The assassin held a magic compass in front to explore the way. His profession was a magic assassin, that is, an assassin who transferred from a magic apprentice. There are many people who switch to other professions because there is no hope of learning magic. Such an assassin can also use low-level equipment, such as a magic compass.
"Haha, look, there are still puppets in this castle, and there are no signs of human activity. Brothers, we have found the ruins and are prosperous." The warrior wearing gorgeous leather armor laughed, as if the ice and snow castle left by Salin had already It's his bag. Ah! ~!
