Shenlan advanced to the realm of true martial arts, and twelve pupils appeared in a pair of eyes. His life-saving skills were related to these pupils. (Please remember the free novel) When advancing, Shenlan reluctantly split off part of his life, and then restored his skills.
When he fought against Zola, he relied on this skill, severely injuring Zola whose swordsmanship was still superior to his own.
The tenth-level mage in red robe was quite young. He followed the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke and when he saw Metatlin City, he said: "Uncle, this Metatlin is really powerful. It can do things like the Dante sequence. Use it on the city walls."
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke was very fond of his nephew. When he was not talking, he asked: "What, is this difficult?"
"The difficulty lies in manpower and material resources. It takes many mages to finally accomplish this. Metatrin City is probably close to Alchemy City in strength."
"Hey, that makes sense." Behind the young mage, a sound like broken metal sounded from a large car.
"Grandmaster!"
"Your Majesty Duke, don't worry. I'm here to sign a covenant. No matter how good Metatrin City is, it's not what I want. What I want is Alchemy City. The hand of elements suppressed me for more than a hundred years, but it was a waste of great resources. Time..." Imposs said this and suddenly stopped talking.
"Thank you, Master." The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke was relieved. He was afraid of Persia's strength, and he was also afraid that the mage would suddenly turn against him. With Inbos, he hardly had to worry about the equipment of his men. Although his nephew advanced after hard training, he was unable to master alchemy.
"You're welcome, Duke. We can't get involved in the affairs of Daliang City, so Alchemy City gets a lot of benefits for nothing. I think it's impossible for Salin and Alchemy City to get along with each other. It would be good for me to form an alliance."
While he was talking, Salin had already come out of the city to greet him.
Salin was smiling and dressed up to welcome him. The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke also laughed and greeted him, as if there was no suspicion between the two parties.
"Your Excellency Duke, welcome to Metatrin City!" Salin was not afraid that the Duke was a real martial artist, and the distance between the two sides was no more than three meters. The two rode together, almost arm's length away.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke also admired Salin's courage. You must know that Salin is a tenth-level mage. Even if he has a special secret method, his physical strength is only at the level of a black iron sword master. A tenth level true martial artist, against the Black Iron Sword Master, there is nothing he can resist within a distance of three meters.
Salin's actions can be said to be extremely bold and sincere. The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke felt much more comfortable.
He said to Salin: "Your Highness, before we..."
"We were enemies before, so we should do whatever we do!" Salin said bluntly.
"That's good. Your Highness, please lead the way." The Grand Duke saw that Salin was different from the rumors. His decisiveness in dealing with matters was something that even the established nobles could not match.
Salin turned back and nodded towards Imposs' car. Imposs looked at Salin in the car, feeling surprised. This young mage's power has increased again!
But it's normal. In Impos's view, Salin is an absolute genius.
A genius mage does not necessarily have to be someone whose magic string grows quickly, but he must have the opportunity and the luck to live with me. You must know that there are countless magic experiments performed by mages, and the success of more than half of them depends on luck.
Salin, the mage, is so lucky. Impressed with envy, Persia opened the car curtain and nodded to Salin.
The team entered Metatrin City. Salin took the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke directly to his palace. However, he did not arrange a meeting with the nobles. Instead, he allowed the Iron-blooded Grand Duke's people to stay while the caravan of more than a thousand people moved to the city hall. Arranged in Xicheng.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke is a level 10 true martial artist and does not need much rest. After Salin and the Duke's people arranged their accommodation, he took his followers and started discussing the alliance with the Grand Duke in the palace.
The negotiation was quite relaxed, and Salin and the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke exchanged their views on the situation in Qin Yin. The two sides don't even have any differences on the boundaries of power division. Saleen will not attack Qin Yin for the time being, unless Emperor Qin Yin dies and Prince Sephiroth ascends the throne.
Salin requested that with Guderian City as the core and all the west side to the end of the canal belong to Salin, while the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke would be responsible for attacking Qin Yin's land east of the canal.
Although the two sides have not formed an offensive and defensive alliance, when the other side uses troops, the other side is obliged to cooperate. For example, mobilize troops to exert a certain amount of pressure on the enemy's back.
According to the principle of mutual non-aggression, the two sides divided Qin Yin's territory in detail on the magic map. Salin wanted the west of the canal, while the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke wanted the east of the canal.
In addition, the two sides also discussed the carving up of the Yunliu Empire.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke asked Saleen to control Lihai and the Titan Principality, while the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke wanted the eastern part of the Yunliu Empire and most of the coastal cities. Saleen had no objection to this, but the second part of the plan to carve up Yunliu required joining forces to deal with the Holy See.
This part of the covenant is the most detailed, because if you want to control Yunliu, you have to face the Tangulas Empire from the north.
After discussion, both sides agreed that the Holy See's influence would be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, so the battle line could be deployed south of the Red River. The most important thing is that the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke asked Salin to dispatch the ancient battleship to attack the Black Prison Island together with his ancient battleship.
The disagreement lies here, and Salin demands that the Scotia Empire be pacified first.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke said to Salin: "The Tanggulas Empire is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and is easier to deal with than the Skochenya. The Skochenya are difficult to conquer, because as long as they are given benefits, the Skochenya will betray them at any time. "
Salin also knew this characteristic of the Scotia people, but he said to the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke: "Scotia is my hometown, and the city of Ceylon is now under my control. The Holy See is unable to go north. As long as it is in the city of Ceylon By building a large base in this area, we can flank the Black Prison Island from both sides.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke was unwilling to attack Scotia for Salin, because Scotia was Salin's mother country. The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke also knew that Salin would probably take the whole country, and he would divide it into Tangulas. empire.
The two sides struggled with this issue for a long time before Salin said: "The value of the Tanggulas Empire is far higher than that of Skochina. If the Holy See did not control the empire, Tanggulas's products were rich and the climate was close to that of Qinyin. We are so poor now. If you defeat Tangulas, your gains will be far greater than mine."
Seeing that the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke was still unmoved, Salin said: "You know, I don't need any country in the end. I am a magician, just like Impos, and my ultimate goal is to explore the mysteries of magic. It's just that I and The Holy See is determined to fight to the death, so the country was created to destroy the Holy See with the power of the country!"
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke seemed to be touched by Salin's words. He arrived after a while: "My family has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is deep hatred between the Holy See and us. How about this, our covenant ends here." , until the Holy See is immortal, we will never attack each other. Which one of Tangulas and Scotia will fight first? We will wait until we have solved the other places. With the power of Holy Rock City, this kind of thing may take a long time. Hundreds of years."
"Okay, why not, this alliance will last for a hundred years. After a hundred years, whether we will form an alliance depends on the intentions of both parties." Salin also knew that the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke would not divide the entire continent equally with him. What he wants is everything, and alliance with him now is a last resort. Because his navy is very powerful, if the Iron-Blooded Duke wants to use the navy to fight, he has to ask himself whether he agrees.
"Well, it will last for a hundred years. Your Highness Salin, you can ask the mages to come out and write the covenant."
Saleen nodded and called dozens of mages to sort out the contents of the negotiations between the two parties and write them down on contract scrolls. These contracts were extremely strict. After they were written, Saleen and the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke asked their mages to read them over again. After confirming that there were no magic traps, the two parties signed a century-old covenant.
The covenant was established, and Salin did not mention being attacked by the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke, nor did the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke mention that Salin had taken away an ancient warship.
Salin finally felt much safer. After all, the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke was a level 10 true martial artist, and the communication distance between the two parties was very close. If he didn't have the destiny doll, he wouldn't dare to be so careless. If the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke really wanted to commit murder, he probably wouldn't be able to resist it.
After the covenant was signed, the two parties began to conduct transactions.
Salin spoke first: "Duke, before the transaction, I have some news to sell you. Do you want to know what Alchemy City purchased from me?"
"Your Highness, I trust you, please give me a price for reading the book." Although the two parties are allies, such important information needs to be purchased for a fee. The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke didn't care about this expense. He knew that Salin would definitely satisfy him.
"I don't lack magic cores or anything else. I need a giant dragon, at least level 10." Salin didn't say anything like a lion, he just wanted a level 10 dragon.
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it in half a month." The Iron-Blooded Duke said.
"Well, Devil's Horn in Alchemy City has purchased six hundred large ships of metal ore from me. I can give you the cargo list, along with a piece of news. Devil's Horn is said to use these ores to refine copper walls and iron walls. Master Impos should know what this is, right?”
"I know." Impos took the list that Salin had prepared in advance, glanced at it and said, "Your Highness, the people in Devil's Horn are lying to you. They are not trying to refine any copper or iron walls at all, but are trying to make giant battleships. A battleship bigger than the Ancient Battleship!"
"Haha." Salin just smiled and did not refute Impos. Of course he knew that Devil's Horn would not tell the truth. Refining warships indeed requires too many special metals. There are a full range of metals that can be refined on the island. Devil's Horn can extract enough materials from the ores of these 600 ships.
