[First Update]
It was only slightly easier for an ordinary person to become a spellcaster than a mage. However, for Salin, he had the Crimson Soul Tower and the corpse of the Infant God. These two things had the effect of improving a person's mental strength, and the speed and height of improvement were enough for an ordinary person to become a spellcaster.
Ceylon City was expanding at a terrifying speed. Count Guge didn't have too many thoughts. The people and demons brought by Salin had already taken over the city. He had a brand new count's mansion and more subordinates. The captain and deputy captain of the bodyguards were also his own people. Salin arranged two great mages for him. Of course, they weren't to serve him, but to protect his safety.
In private, Salin also arranged four Desolate Ancient Warriors to stay in the count's mansion. He had to ensure Guge's safety. No matter what, Guge was one of the more kind-hearted nobles that Salin knew. He was also indebted to him.
There weren't many Desolate Ancient Warriors by Salin's side. He left twelve for Sicar, twelve for Ainphent, and twelve for Rex. Of the twelve he had, two died in the battle with Van Gogh, and four were given to Guge. Salin only had six left.
Desolate Ancient Warriors were stronger than elemental creatures, but once they died, they couldn't be resurrected.
Because he didn't bring any Magic Shooters with him, and only had great mages, Salin's alchemy factory couldn't produce some of his most important equipment, such as the Elven Wings, metal aircraft, and large magic cannons. These three things were all refined by himself.
Therefore, Salin wrote a letter to Metatlin City, asking Sicar to send at least twelve Magic Shooters over. It didn't matter what level they were. His alchemy factory needed manpower. Without Magic Shooters, many things couldn't continue. No matter how strong Salin's Water Flame Alchemy was, he could only refine equipment one by one. He also needed to rest and meditate to restore his mental strength. If he relied solely on divine crystals, he would be crippled sooner or later.
Jason wrote a letter to Salin, telling him that the mages of Serg Island would gradually enter the demiplane and transform the environment there. The half-plane that Rafael chose was a growing one. Maybe after hundreds of thousands of years, it would become a complete plane like the Myers Continent.
Metatlin City would maintain at least thirty-six 9th Rank High Mages in the Magic Tower to protect the safety of Metatlin City. Jason's intention was to let Salin choose some reliable people to enter the Demiplane. The Demiplane's forest was expanding and the volcanic eruption area was shrinking, enough to accommodate more people living inside.
Of course, Salin knew the importance of this Demiplane because Rafael had left behind an experimental product, the world in the metal cheese. The elements in that world were plentiful and balanced. That world alone could support millions of people, or even more. Perhaps this was the world that Faka wanted. He wanted to take all his believers away and form his own church.
Salin didn't know what level Rafael was when he died. Anyway, it was impossible for a level-ten mage to create such a world. This Half Bitwall was shared by Serg Island, Bitter Water Commandery, and the Metatlin Kingdom. Jason letting Salin enter was to remind Salin that he couldn't just fight for the Myers Continent.
The mages of Serg Island were loyal, but what about a thousand years later? The living space in the Half Bitwall would become larger and larger, and even a country would be formed. If Salin didn't care about it, he might lose this Half Bitwall.
Salin didn't have enough manpower. No matter how important the Half Bitwall was, he had to solve the dispute in the Myers Continent first. Food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and things had to be done bit by bit. Salin was no longer a reckless person who was eager for quick success. He was now wholeheartedly setting up the Magic Net and waiting for the arrival of the mages of Serg Island.
Ceylon City now controlled a large amount of land, but the Scochenya people didn't like farming, and there were too many barren places. The slightly worse cultivated land had been abandoned, which made Salin very unhappy. Unknowingly, he had been changed a lot by the Qinyin Empire, such as his attitude towards land.
Among the four empires, the Qinyin nobles treated farmers the best. Whether it was free farmers or private farmers, their living conditions were dozens of times better than in Scochenya.
Salin knew that people's character and habits couldn't be changed by government decrees, so he didn't force the nobles. Anyway, these people liked to be mercenaries. If they didn't farm, they had to fight for him. Salin now had Phoenix as his backing, so he didn't have to worry about food. Eleanor also gave him various recipes to make Elven Pills, so it was much easier to store food. Phoenix's granaries were almost completely plundered by Salin's people, and it was enough to support him for more than a hundred years of war.
Salin gathered more than twenty thousand people, and after some simple training, he sent them to the north to take over his army. Salin didn't dare to use the elite troops in his hands carelessly. They were divided from Rex, and one death meant one less. As a king, the way to obtain victory wasn't by piling up human lives. These soldiers were also his people, and every one of them had a family behind them.
With more than twenty thousand mercenaries on the frontlines, Radiant Sun City became even more nervous. Salin also sent ten thousand demons to patrol near Radiant Sun City every day, so that the soldiers on the city walls could see them.
After Salin finished his arrangements, he just needed to wait for Radiant Sun City to be unable to withstand the pressure and take the initiative to attack. If Count Alphonso continued to endure, he still had ways to continue provoking him.
Salin himself was also under a lot of pressure. His biggest problem was the lack of manpower. All the troops were trained according to the standards of elite soldiers, and this couldn't be helped. If not for the demon army, he could only rely on Rex.
Therefore, Salin spared no effort in researching equipment to increase the combat strength of his soldiers. Now, he was researching the Tainted Blood Armor of the Primordial Warriors. This armor had extremely strong defense. Apart from not being able to fly, its other attributes were better than the Demonic God Skysoar Armor. Moreover, the Demonic God Skysoar Armor was designed for demons, so it was very burdensome for humans to wear it.
Over at Ceylon City, Salin used violence to suppress all disturbances. Port Royal, the destroyed port, was also being rebuilt. Everything was managed by the nobles under Rex, so it was much easier than Salin's side.
On this day, Rex was urging the mechanical undead to use its clones to salvage the sunken ships in the port and clean up the dock. Suddenly, a figure flew over from the sky and landed in front of her.
Rex was shocked. This person's long green hair was stained with blood, and his face was frighteningly pale. He was even smiling at her.
"Master!" Rex was at a loss when she saw Joey's appearance. Joey was obviously heavily injured. Who could injure him to this extent? Rex saw that Joey's nose was still bleeding.
"Take me to your Magic Tower." Joey didn't say anything else. The mechanical undead's clones approached, and he kicked dozens of them away. These dozens of clones all disintegrated and fell into the sea. The mechanical undead hiding in the Primordial Warship screamed and was so scared that it almost dove into the sea.
Joey's kick directly affected the soul of its main body. The mechanical undead's clone had never been so afraid before. Its soul was protected by the broken jade. It thought that no one could punish it except for Salin.
Rex put down what she was doing and brought Joey back to the Magic Tower.
"Master, what happened?"
"Sigh, I was well-prepared, but I still didn't kill Faka. He's ten times stronger than I thought." Joey sighed, but there was no disappointment in his eyes.
"Master, you went to deal with Faka?" Rex was surprised. Neither she nor Salin wanted to mention this name. Back then, they were forced to sign the contract, so they couldn't go back on it even if they wanted to, unless Faka was killed.
"Yes, there was hatred to begin with. Moreover, this guy threatened you. This is the last thing I'll do for you. Now that you're married, Salin will take care of everything in the future. "It was rare for Joey to show an ordinary person's emotions.
"Salin, he …"
"I won't look for him anymore. I've done what I should do, and I don't need his help anymore. Rex, Salin's growth is beyond my expectations. If I didn't save him, I'm afraid I would still be involved in this matter. "
"But Master!"
"What else do you want? I gave him the Immortal Mulberry and Ghost Oak that I've been raising for hundreds of years, and he only gave me the Seal of Godly Power. Hey, Rex, if you can't survive in the Myers Continent in the future, go to the East Sea to find me. "
"You want to go to the East Sea?"
"Yes, I have a map in my hand. The ruins of the Second Dynasty are definitely well-preserved. In the East Sea, you have to cross the Sea of Storms. I took Faka's divine artifact, which can allow me to cross the Sea of Storms easily. Unfortunately, he also took the Seal of Godly Power. "
Rex didn't speak this time. It was normal that Joey didn't kill Faka. Faka was probably the most difficult person to deal with in the Vatican. It would be strange if a Level 10 expert who dared to rob a God's believer and possessed a Divine Artifact died so easily.
Joey stole Faka's divine artifact. It was probably premeditated. For his own sake, Joey did it himself.
Putting Rex aside, in the center of the Chaos Swamp, in the sky, Hairka, whose clothes were as white as snow, looked angrily at a huge pit with a diameter of more than three miles on the ground.
That was the fortress he operated, and he had already transferred tens of thousands of believers here. However, after the battle with Joey, all of them were destroyed. All the facilities he operated below were also destroyed. He didn't know how long it would take to rebuild them.
Of course, he had long discovered that the Magister was following him. However, Joey's tracking distance happened to be the most suitable for sorcerers to attack, but it was a bit far for a divinity.
Faka tempted Joey to attack several times, but Joey didn't move. Joey tracked him all the way here before taking out the Seal of Godly Power and directly clashing with Faka.
Both of them were seriously injured at the same time. The Scroll of Silence in Faka's hand was a divine artifact that even the Pope didn't know about. The Seal of God Power contained the power that Joey had accumulated over the years.
The two powers collided and were guided to the ground, destroying everything that Faka had worked hard to build.
The most terrible thing was that his Scroll of Silence was taken by the Magister. Although he got the Seal of God Power, the Seal of God Power belonged to the Pope, and he couldn't use it. Otherwise, the Pope would immediately know and come to ask for it.
