"Call Daniel over. I need his help."
She left the room and said to the Caucasian warrior waiting outside, "Call Daniel over. I need his help."
After giving the order, she went to see Jason.
"Teacher, the Vatican is starting to target the children. What should I do?" She asked respectfully. Both she and Rex respected Jason very much. She also knew that Jason wasn't just a teacher to Salin. He was also a father.
"The best way is to send the children to the demiplane." Jason took this matter very seriously. Metatlin City's defenses were tight, but he was afraid of a lapse in security.
"That won't do, Teacher. I have to stay with the children." She answered patiently. Jason understood other things, but how to treat children was something he could only learn from books. It might not be correct.
"Then we can only protect them closely. It's best to teach the Vatican a lesson. Rex didn't do enough. I think … "
"Teacher, now is not the time to deal with the Vatican. Our people can't go deep into Tanggulas." She was in charge of the Metatlin Kingdom and knew what was important. All of Salin's territories couldn't enter the Tanggulas Empire directly. If they wanted revenge, they could only break into the enemy's rear. The price would be huge.
"Who said anything about entering the Tanggulas Empire? Didn't the Vatican's army enter Qinyin? One of them attacked Lone Star City. We have a reason to deal with it. "
"Teacher, Salin means to ignore the battle in Qinyin for now."
"Salin thinks the Vatican is too weak. Look at the war. The Vatican's army has been increasing for a few years. Instead, it's the Qinyin who fight in their own territories who keep losing land."
Jason paused here. He didn't want to affect Salin's strategy.
"Teacher, I'll let Daniel investigate who planned this assassination." Seeing that Jason still supported everything he did, Xi Ka was relieved.
She told Eleanor to leave. It was absolutely safe in the temple. The two children were a little frightened. Xi Ka couldn't bear to leave them alone, so she could only accompany them.
Daniel quickly arrived at the temple. Now, he was like the general manager of Metatlin City. The three dukes had to deal with government affairs through him. This was a way for Salin to control his power.
Daniel was very distressed. Only when he obtained power did he realize that he had deviated too far from his ideals. Back when he was in the Tanggulas Empire, he was already a hereditary noble. Although his rank was low, he could slowly climb up. He had chosen to learn necromancy for no other reason than his passion.
Now that he was at Salin's place, he had enough materials to conduct experiments and practice in necromancy magic. Salin even let the Winged Skeleton refine the Undead Flames for him. While he was busy with government affairs, he also advanced to become a Magic Shooter.
So it turned out that he was still in love with magic. But the mission that Salin had given him could not be easily rejected. He was a necromancer and could understand some of the secrets of the soul. When dealing with government affairs, very few people dared to deceive him. Moreover, he could summon the Undead to help him. He basically didn't need to do anything himself. He only needed to make judgments.
The problem was that there were more and more things to do in Salin's city, and he really couldn't see the end of it. Daniel came to the shrine listlessly, thinking that Shika had some new decree to announce and wanted to discuss with him.
Shika had always been lazy to deal with such details.
Shika returned to the second floor and met Daniel in the conference room. Shika briefly told him about the assassination attempt at the pier. Daniel stood up from his seat with a slightly angry look on his face.
"There's a spy in the city, and he's in the army!"
"That's right, but he's at most a low-ranking officer, and he didn't enter the Shrine Army. Every member of the Shrine Army has been inspected by magic. If he was a spy, he would have been caught long ago. It's not like we haven't caught one before. "Shika comforted Daniel. This wasn't Daniel's fault. He wasn't responsible for this.
Daniel sat down again. He knew that he was a bit impulsive. This wasn't a reaction a necromancer should have. He'd been too irritated recently. The three duchesses were really hard to deal with.
"Daniel, you've been following Salin for a long time. Are you unwilling to do the city hall's work? Do you want to focus on magic? "Shika wasn't in a hurry. The search for the assassins in the city wouldn't be resolved for now. These assassins weren't of high or low level, but their equipment was probably very powerful.
Most of the assassins killed by the magic cannons still had their weapons intact, and their original attributes could be identified. Metatlin City had been sealed off by the Mage Tower. These assassins would be found sooner or later. They wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
"Yes, Your Highness, I …"
"Do these things first. If you want to train, you have all the time in the world. Salin wrote to me to tell you to be patient. He'll make equipment suitable for necromancers for you. By then, you'll advance very quickly. If you want to read more books, you can come to the Shrine to borrow them. Teacher Jason will provide them for you. "
"That, Your Highness …" Daniel still wasn't used to calling Shika like this. But Shika was much stronger than him now, so it wouldn't be too much to use any honorifics.
"Haha, Daniel, just call me that. If it's according to Gaugass tradition, you won't be able to stand it. Even I can't stand it, so I forced the Gaugass Warriors to change it. Now, I feel that Your Highness is really a very ordinary title." Shika comforted Daniel in her own way.
"Then, tell me what you want me to do." Daniel regained his composure. He reminded himself that even if he was at the same level as Shika, he still wouldn't be her opponent. Using honorifics was the right thing to do, so he shouldn't be bothered by it.
"I just want you to help me interrogate the assassin. Necromancy is very good at dealing with souls." Shika lied this time. As a Nature Priestess, she was even better at dealing with souls than Daniel. That powerful assassin had been controlled by her soul skill, and his weapon had been broken with a single blow.
But Shika herself didn't like to use this skill. Her actions would affect her children. She wasn't planning to train her two children to become Priestesses. Whether it was learning magic or swordsmanship, they were better than a Priestess who gave everything to her.
Now, Shika had to manage over a hundred thousand Gaugasses. She couldn't kill all the expelled Gaugasses. She had to give them a way out, but she couldn't let them betray her again.
This was a very troublesome matter. If Shika became the Gaugass King, one of her sons or daughters would inherit the position. But for the future of the Gaugasses, she didn't want to rely on the power of a Priestess.
Daniel nodded. "Your Highness, I'm afraid His Highness Salin won't like some methods."
"It's fine. This time, the enemy wants to deal with my children. If Salin finds out, he won't be angry even if you burn the enemy's soul and make them into Soul Puppets."
"That's good. I'm a Necromancer. I don't want to be mistaken as a Dark Mage." Daniel smiled. This task was easy. She could use any method to interrogate a captive.
"Okay, I'll prepare a place for you. No matter what you do, no one will hear." Shika said. She called for two Great Mages to prepare a secret room and set up a Sound Barrier.
By nightfall, all the assassins in Metatlin City had been captured. These assassins were too close to the Temple. Under the search of the 36 Magic Towers, not a single one could escape. Most of the assassins died in battle. Only five were captured alive. These five were sent to the secret room. Before they were sent, all the assassins' tendons were cut. The sword aura was broken, and their teeth were smashed out to find the poison hidden in them.
Shika didn't participate in the interrogation. She called Daniel over because she didn't like to do this kind of thing. Otherwise, the assassin under her control would have confessed something by now.
In the secret room, Daniel looked at the five paralyzed assassins on the alchemy table. He smiled and summoned his partner, the Necromancer Peuuchus.
Peuuuchus' two heads looked left and right. Finally, he looked at the assassin who looked the oldest.
This was his skill. He could tell whose soul was the weakest.
Daniel then said to the five captives, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Daniel, a Necromancer. I like to study the mysteries of the soul. You are now my test subjects. If you want to avoid this, tell me honestly who the spy in Metatlin City is. Of course, you don't have to say it. It doesn't matter. I'll deal with you slowly. "
Daniel's smile was a bit strange. He touched the cheek of one of the assassins with a pale finger and said, "I'm a Necromancer. This is very unfortunate for you. In my hands, death is just the beginning."
The assassin he touched was the toughest one. Although he couldn't move, his eyes still showed an unyielding look. Many assassins were also death warriors. No matter how they were tortured, they wouldn't betray their master.
Seeing the assassin's eyes, Daniel's smile grew brighter.
"I like strong people. If the soul is too weak, it won't be of much help to my research. How about this, I'll start with you. "
As Daniel spoke, he turned to the others and said, "The four of you, watch carefully. This is a very long process."
"No, I'll talk. I'll tell you everything!" The weak-willed guy didn't move. Daniel moved first. He didn't care when his tendons were cut, but Daniel wanted to deal with their souls. He finally couldn't hold on.
