Sauron was horrified! He looked at Rex in surprise.
He didn't doubt Rex's ability. He couldn't advance to become a wizard because he had no money. The speed of cultivation is already slow, and I have to think of ways to make money, which wastes a lot of time.
I am already sixty-eight years old. Although I still have forty or fifty years to live, judging from my current progress, I really have no hope of advancing before the end of my life.
If you advance to the seventh level of magician, your life span will be extended by more than a hundred years. Even if you stop there, your life span will be doubled!
Sauron's heart was moved. He simply couldn't refuse such a thing.
"My condition is that this is a secret between us." Rex's face was grim.
Sauron nodded, he was so excited that he even wanted to sign the contract immediately. Now he was afraid that Rex would regret it. Most magicians with good qualifications stop at level five throughout their lives, because the cost of learning magic is too high. Many magicians have to run around for magic materials and are hired for some magic books.
If there is no accident, such a mage. He will become a fourth-level magician at the age of fifty, and a fifth-level magician at the age of seventy.
However, the lifespan of a magician is not fixed. Magicians can also get injured while practicing. Without special meditation rules and magic liquid to repair them, a magician will not live to be 120 years old, and often within 100 years old. Just die.
Sauron has been a sixth-level magician for more than ten years, but he has made no progress in more than ten years in order to collect money to buy materials to build a magic tower. But there was nothing he could do about it. If he didn't build a magic tower, he wouldn't be able to sense the magician's threshold at all.
"If you want to advance to become a magician, you must be in an environment with very strong elements. This kind of environment does not exist in nature, at least not in the Mainland of Myers. The only way to create such an environment is to build a magic tower."
If there is a magician as a teacher, you can borrow the environment of the magic tower. This is the benefit of having a teacher.
Rex's ability to reach such a high level at such a young age is inseparable from the fact that she has an eighth-level mage as her teacher. Compared with Salin, Rex's advancement was almost smooth sailing, and for a miraculous mage like Salin. That is also progress gained through hard work.
Saleen's advancement was almost caused by death several times.
Following Rex, Rex can become a magician in up to twenty years, and as the king of a country, building a magic tower is not a problem at all. Sauron saw hope. At this time, he could not think of the dignity of a magician.
Mages are dignified, but also hierarchical. Rex was much stronger than him. After promising such heavy benefits, Sauron could no longer hold on.
"I can let go of Nash, but I want to take these soldiers away."
Sauron nodded blankly. He didn't care about the soldiers. In the magician's heart, there is no room for anything else. He only remembers a guide! Magician!
"Princess, what do you want those soldiers for? You need to keep them." Daniel didn't quite understand Rex's intention.
"Take these people with you. If uncle sends people to intercept me again, I will kill them all."
Daniel trembled and did not continue to ask;
Rex snorted, stared at Daniel with her blue eyes and said: "How dare you attack the city gate with less than five hundred people. If I weren't on the west side, you would be dead, do you understand?"
Daniel replied anxiously: "How could it be? At most, we can escape back. As you can see, each of us has a skeleton war horse."
"Skeleton War Horse? Hey, there are more than 100,000 Empire troops in Phoenix. Can you outrun them all?"
Daniel took a breath of cold air. One-tenth of his five hundred people died even though the magic completely suppressed their opponents. If they were chased and intercepted by hundreds of thousands of troops, I'm afraid the only one who could escape would be himself. Pixiu's running speed is too fast, and mages below the wizard can't catch up.
"There are three magicians in Guderian City. This time we invade Phoenix, bring out at least one. Daniel, if you are targeted by this magician, can you run away?" Rex seemed to know what Daniel was thinking.
"Can't run away." Daniel answered honestly, feeling his tongue taste bitter. This is not Tangulas. He has no one to rely on except Salin. He was able to escape the pursuit of the Holy See because he was familiar with the environment and had traveled in Tanggulas and Yunliu for many years. Many friends. But in Phoenix, with his Western accent, even a farmer could tell that he was not from Qinyin.
"Huh, I don't know. Why can Salin let you come out with confidence? Do you think you are invincible with two magic chariots? I have dozens of ways to deal with you, do you believe it or not?" Rex still couldn't bear it. Salim scolded Daniel. Daniel's behavior was too risky and might wipe out the five hundred soldiers Salin had saved so hard.
Rex hadn't paid much attention to Salin's soldiers yet, but she could tell that Salin's soldiers were very good. "It was said that if they were trained properly, they would be an elite force. Daniel's patterns were randomly used and every soldier was trained well. All gone.
Ge Yi hid behind Daniel and did not dare to speak out. This idea was his. Although it was successful, thinking about it now, his original plan had too many loopholes. The only commendable thing he did was kill that one. White-robed mage. If they hadn't killed the white-robed mage, the barbarians blocking the city gate would not have been able to survive.
Rex did not continue and began to ask about Salin. Daniel answered one by one? Rex was secretly grateful to hear that the city built by Salin was attacked by the East China Sea Expeditionary Force. Fortunately, Saleen had good skills and directly sank the opponent's warships, and this was also related to the season. If those warships could directly approach the city in summer and throw rocks at them, Saleen would lose all his men and horses.
Salin is so lucky. He actually conquered the Undead King!
Not long after, a soldier walked in, performed a military salute, and said: "Your Highness, the fire has been put out, what should we do with the prisoners?"
"Take off all their clothes and armor, put on cotton-padded clothes, regroup them according to the formation of auxiliary soldiers, and take them away."
Rex had his own calculations in his mind. Although so many prisoners would consume food, he had the Ring of Shinra. Can he clean out all the military rations stored in Strandburg? The city that brings Salin back will first act as a coolie. If Holy Rock City wants to release him, it must either pay money or provide the conditions it needs.
For example, a passage was opened in Phoenix and belonged to the Bitter Water County.
You know, this time Rex got tens of thousands of prisoners, half of whom were regular soldiers. With so many soldiers, Holy Rock City cannot afford to lose.
The military systems of the four empires are very complex, but one thing is the same, that is, they all have armies directly subordinate to the royal family. These troops cannot be commanded by other nobles at all. For example, the garrison in Guderian City is directly under the jurisdiction of Holy Rock City.
It usually takes five years to train this kind of soldier? Such soldiers are different from auxiliary soldiers. They are not engaged in production at all and spend their whole lives in combat. After old age and infirmity. The royal family will also support these people.
These soldiers surrendered today because the target of the battle was Rex, also named Glycos. If the enemy is the army of Tangulas Empire, these soldiers will fight until the last one is left.
So Rex didn't dare to kill these soldiers. If she did, it would cause irreversible damage to the Glycos family. When these soldiers arrived in Salin's city, they would not do too hard work. If they were private soldiers of local nobles, Rex would not even think twice and would just throw them into mining until they died.
Rex brought a large group of troops to the north this time, and there were countless talents accompanying the army, including magic apprentices who were good at prospecting for mineral deposits. When Salin's city settles down, these people will be sent out to search for mineral veins in the northern frozen soil.
Rex does not need to pay taxes on mining, so no matter how low the efficiency of mining in the north, she can still make money.
At this time, Rex had no time to chat with Daniel. His subordinates kept entering the hall to report. Reply to the command. Rex arranged everything one by one, and Daniel was convinced. If he were asked to do these things, he would not be able to do any of them.
Rex was much stronger than him, not just in magic. It seems that Salin is not bad, and he finally followed the right person. Without Saleen stimulating him, Daniel would still be a fourth-level mage and would never be able to advance to the fifth level.
The prisoners were placed, and after Rex had handled most of the affairs, he personally "inspected" Strandburg's warehouse; all the ordnance, military rations, gold coins, magic cores, and ores were all loaded into Shinra by Rex. Ring. If it were Salin, he would definitely be worried about the mountains of food piled up. Enough to feed five thousand soldiers for several years.
Rex did not move the magic tower outside the city. Although the mage who originally built the magic tower was no longer around, she still did not break the rules. However, she dismantled and installed all the magic trebuchets in the city without leaving a single part? Anyone else would definitely not be able to do this, and only a magician like Rex with an artifact could take away so many things.
Nash finally woke up and was locked up. Rex wouldn't look at him or let anyone talk to him. She ransacked Strandburg for three days, scraping every inch of the ground and leaving nothing behind that could be taken away.
Rex was careful. She didn't care about these worthless things. It was her attitude to leave them to loot. If anyone messes with me in the future, I will evacuate your home. In addition, there are at least tens of thousands of Qin Yin troops in nearby cities, and Rex has already sent out scouts to find out the news.
If Salimroth got angry and ordered other armies to attack, Rex would at least be safer in Strandburg. She spent the past three days doing nothing but looting. The east gate was also repaired. As long as the nearby troops are mobilized, she will defend here. This place is very close to Garulan. If Rex can't do it, he can still hire a large number of troops to help her fight. This time, she brought a lot of money.
