[Part 2]
Nelis had her own thoughts. She left the snake egg and was willing to share it with Silva, but Silva didn't need it. Salin didn't know that Nelis had hidden an even more precious snake egg. He was just worried about the shell of the Red Rock Egg.
The shell of the Red Rock Egg was hard and hot. Ordinary weapons could protect themselves, let alone cut it. It was already a powerful magic equipment. Salin couldn't leave the shell of the Red Rock Egg. If Van Gogh escaped and he didn't take it away, the people from the Inquisition would come and find a way to take it away.
Nelis took out the Gray Memory and stabbed it at the Red Crystal. The Gray Memory's spear was really sharp. It directly pierced a hole more than ten meters deep in the hard Red Crystal.
Salin was heartbroken. How many materials had been turned into ashes by Nelis's spear!
It was only a hole more than ten meters deep, but it still couldn't penetrate the eggshell. Salin had to use his mind power to check and found that the average thickness of the eggshell was 120 meters. Nelis's weapon was sharp, but it was too weak to pierce this huge eggshell.
The thickness of 120 meters was only the essence of the eggshell. There was a thick layer of Red Crystal on the outer layer, but the quality was a bit worse. There was probably a fire vein under the Red Crystal, and there could be a Red Crystal mine.
"Master, let Fei Yan try," Nelis reminded Salin. Salin had no choice but to summon Fei Yan and his Orange Knight.
Fei Yan was very excited when he saw the situation inside the Red Rock Egg. He said to Salin, "Master, if my men can recover here, in about three days, all 144 Orange Knights can continue to fight for you!"
"Recover what? I asked you to cut these Red Crystals away. Can you do that?" Salin said to Fei Yan angrily. This place was not very safe. It was a cave in the deepest part of the earth. It was in the middle of a huge crack at the bottom of the sea. An earthquake could bury everyone here.
"Okay, Master, I'll try …" Fei Yan was very disappointed. He summoned his 24 men and set up a magic circle around him. Then he stood in the center of the magic circle and raised his halberd.
The flaming halberd easily pierced into the ground, and the red crystal was cut open, leaving behind a tiny crack. Feeling that she was ready, Crimson Flame stood in the center of the magic array and summoned her Mount.
Crimson Flame's body swelled, and the 24 orange-red knights also grew to a height of 100 meters. They didn't hold any weapons in their hands, but rather worked together to activate the magic array. Flames spurted out of Fei Yan's body, which was dozens of meters long. The Flaming Halberd left huge cracks on the Red Crystal.
With every swing of the halberd, the crack would expand by more than sixty meters. In the blink of an eye, the eggshell opposite Salin had been pierced through and cut into huge cubes. The crystal was a dead object. Without the protection of the fiery serpent and the mageweath, Fei Yan used the law of fire to separate the crystal.
This wasn't because his Attack Power was very strong. If it were any other elemental creature, they would probably be scalded instead. It would be impossible for them to cut through the thick eggshell. Salin immediately took out his Dimensional Stone and stored the huge red crystal inside.
The flaming serpent's eggshell was extremely large and over a hundred meters thick. If it wasn't for the help of an elemental creature like the orange knight, Salin would only have been able to dig away a few pieces and gather people to investigate. It was hard to say whether this cave would still exist, not to mention that the Inquisition would also covet this place.
Fei Yan moved quickly. He commanded his subordinates to activate the magic array so that the attack power would always be at its peak. Only in such an environment could he attack unscrupulously. Moreover, in the process of attacking, the orange-red knights under him gradually reached their peak condition.
Fei Yan let the twenty-four orange knights return to the Elemental Badge and summoned another twenty-four orange knights. Salin didn't stop him. The twenty-four orange knights were originally dispirited, but once they entered the Red Stone Egg, they immediately absorbed the power of the fire element like crazy and became energetic.
Fei Yan moved to another place and set up a new magic array. The twenty-four orange knights whose elemental cores hadn't been destroyed gradually regained their strength. They helped to destroy and heal their injuries at the same time.
Fei Yan didn't summon any more orange knights. Most of the other orange knights had their cores destroyed, so they could slowly recover. With forty-eight Orange Knights, Salin's safety was more than enough.
While Salin was digging the crystal at the bottom of the sea, the twelve black-robed priests and the head jailers of the Inquisition were frantic. Van Gogh didn't return, and the Eye of the Storm disappeared. They didn't know what to do. If they returned to the Inquisition like this, none of them would survive.
The head jailers looked at the twelve black-robed priests. The black-robed priests looked at each other, unable to make a decision.
The oldest priest said: "Why don't we go back to Black Prison Island first?"
"Lord Van Gogh isn't here. Can we go in?" Another priest asked.
"Let's go to the Inquisition." The youngest priest's eyes flashed. Everyone knew what he was thinking. Go back to the Inquisition and ask his friends about the situation. If the situation wasn't good, then find a way to escape. It was better than going to Black Prison Island. Once on Black Prison Island, it would be difficult to leave.
"What do you think?" The old mage looked around. Everyone looked tired. A mage's flying ability was not as good as a mage's. It consumed a lot of spiritual power. If they didn't leave now, they might not be able to fly to the shore.
"Let's go to the Inquisition."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed …"
The old mage looked at the head jailers and asked: "Do you want to go back to Black Prison or go to the Inquisition?"
The head jailers also consumed a lot of divine gems. Wearing magic armors and flying in the air, the consumption was several times more than the flight armors made by a mage. They could only nod and agree. Now that everyone had no boat, they had to rely on these mages to be safe when they encountered flying beasts.
The head jailers also knew what the mages were thinking. If they returned to Black Prison like this, everyone would be finished. The so-called return to the Inquisition was just to inquire about the news on land. No one was willing to say it directly, lest they become scapegoats in the future.
Although the punishment in the Inquisition was harsh, it was possible to be lenient to their own people. If you were willing to betray your friends, the possibility was even greater.
The group of people flew towards the coast in fear. They didn't dare to fly too high, nor did they dare to get close to the sea. Everyone was very close to each other, and they had to be wary of the people around them. Everyone was nervous to death.
In the underground cave, when the red rock eggs were almost cleaned up, the magma above also poured down and was collected by Nelis into the Demon God's Purgatory. This magma could enrich the environment of the Demon God's Purgatory. Nelis usually didn't have the opportunity to find this kind of magma lake. This time, she directly took the magma and transferred it to the depths of the earth in the Demon God's Purgatory to solidify.
Salin was extremely fast. After a day of tossing and turning underground, he almost dug out all the nearby red crystals before returning to the crack in the sea. Following the crack to the bottom of the sea, the Elemental Magic Tower was still standing firmly on the crack, but the angel of the divine kingdom was gone.
This angel of the divine kingdom was summoned, and it couldn't last more than a day. Van Gogh was gone, and the angel of the divine kingdom fighting with the two level-10 creatures had long disappeared without a trace.
Salin really didn't dare to stay. He knew very well Van Gogh's fighting strength. If he didn't have the power of the family badge, the Spear of Order would have killed him. At least the elemental creatures around him would have been sacrificed to save his life. Now that the power of the family badge was exhausted, he couldn't attack for half a year. It was better to leave as soon as possible.
Salin activated the Elemental Magic Tower, floated to the surface of the sea, and flew all the way to Ceylon City. He still didn't know that because he took the Spear of Order and the Divine Rune Puppet, Van Gogh had already escaped Black Prison Island and went to Alchemy City. A conflict broke out on Black Prison Island. The warden and the inquisitor parted on bad terms, and the island was a mess of casualties.
The Elemental Magic Tower was still flying close to the surface of the sea. Now, Salin didn't care too much about consumption. The magic furnace was fully activated, and the Magic Tower flew even faster than when it came. There were too many red crystals underground. Besides the red stone eggs, there was also a crystal ore layer hundreds of meters thick. These impure crystals happened to be what the magic furnace needed the most.
The small nobles in the Magic Tower all behaved themselves. The battle they saw was something ordinary nobles could never understand. When the powerful angel of the divine kingdom appeared, these small nobles were so scared that they knelt on the ground and prayed. As people of Skocania, they didn't care about praying. At most, they would betray their faith later.
However, the angel of the divine kingdom was soon attacked by two tall monsters. After fighting for a few hours, it was broken into pieces and dissipated in the sea. These small nobles immediately stopped praying and began to praise Salin.
Salin couldn't hear their praises at all, and he didn't care what these small nobles thought. The way of war had changed. In ancient times, humans were divided according to power. It was useless even if you had money. Bloodline was even more ridiculous. Unless you were strong, you couldn't rule a place.
These people were still useful for now, so Salin didn't kill these small nobles. The Elemental Magic Tower knocked away many monsters along the way, and they safely arrived at Yulan Bay in Ceylon City.
The Magic Tower landed directly at the port. Nelis summoned hundreds of demons to escort the small nobles to the city lord's residence. The people of Ceylon City saw the arrival of the Magic Tower, and they were so scared that they left the port. The few fishing boats didn't dare to return to the port. The harbor became cold and cheerless.
Salin didn't go to the city lord's residence. He stayed in the Magic Tower and looked at the familiar city with mixed feelings.
The tall walls on the coast, the abandoned cannons, the mottled giant stone steps, and the scarred stone statues. The sea breeze carried a fishy smell, and it made Salin want to cry.
I'm back. This is my home!
"Teacher, what about the people we saved?" Truman asked carefully. He realized that Salin didn't mention the merchants and sailors.
