Fourth update!!!
Salin thought about it. He had already told Rex about his battle with Inbos, but Rex had not been in Daliang and did not know that Huo Jinna was here.
But with Rex's cautiousness, he would send the news to these major cities.
Salin looked at Huo Jinna's face, trying to find something from it. Huo Jinna's eyes were red. She looked at Salin and said with some grievance, "Salin, you fought with my teacher. He … doesn't want me anymore."
Salin saw Huo Jinna like this and laughed. "Then follow me from now on. You'll see your teacher sooner or later."
Salin was not at ease with Huo Jinna, although this child was basically brainless in life except for magic. The problem was that Inbos was very powerful. Salin did not know if Inbos had a secret way to control Huo Jinna. If he did, Daliang would be finished sooner or later with Huo Jinna.
No matter how strong Salin was, he could not know all the skills of a magician. Salin still had a lingering fear because of Inbos's strange ability.
"I'm not following you, you …" Huo Jinna did not continue. She also realized that Salin was now a level-nine Magic Shooter.
Stephanie said to Salin, "Salin, if you want to take Huo Jinna away, you can't let her and Inbos become enemies."
"Of course." Salin accepted the suggestion calmly. If one day, his teacher went to help someone else, Salin would never fight with his teacher. No matter what happened to his teacher in the future, everything he had was given by his teacher.
"Master!" Huo Jinna was anxious. She saw that Stephanie also agreed with Salin's suggestion and suddenly felt sad.
"Salin is also a master now. If you follow him, you can also continue your training. Salin is richer than me. Huo Jinna, I will leave Daliang, and I can't take you to Kushui Commandery."
Huo Jinna stood there in a daze. After a while, she said, "I understand, but …"
"You don't want to be my follower, do you?" Salin asked.
"Yes, Master Salin." Huo Jinna did not have the habit of hiding. She did not like being a follower. It was equivalent to losing her freedom.
"Then be my personal wizard. I invite you in the name of the king of the Metatlin Kingdom." Salin smiled and took out a blank scroll.
A personal mage had more freedom than a follower. The common point was that Huo Jinna, as Salin's personal mage, was also restricted by the contract. She couldn't attack Salin or help Salin's enemies.
"Alright." Huo Jinna took the contract and wrote it herself. However, this action of hers did not have the carefreeness of the past. Salin could not help but recall the days when he had no one to rely on. However, he did not let his guard down. There was nothing wrong with Huo Jinna, but there was definitely something wrong with Inpos.
After signing the contract, Huo Jinna seemed a little happier. Stephanie said, "Huo Jinna, you can leave first. I have something to say to Salin."
"Yes, Master." Huo Jinna became much more obedient and walked out of the ninth floor of the magic tower step by step.
Closing the door and activating the Sound Barrier, Salin said, "Stephanie, Rex told her about me and Imbos, right?"
Stephanie smiled and said, "Salin, weren't you quite brave before? There might be something wrong with this Huo Jinna, but she knows Human Alchemy. There are so many Primordial Warriors on your Primordial Battleship. How many can you control? "
"Oh!" Salin slapped his head. He really only saw the danger and did not see the benefits.
Huo Jinna's level was not high. She was not even a Magic Shooter, but she had followed Imbos for a long time. Her alchemy skills were better than most mages'. If he had not learned Water Alchemy, his alchemy skills would be thousands of times worse than Huo Jinna's.
Human Alchemy, in particular, could allow him to control more Primordial Warriors. Although his combat power would decrease, it was better than having to work hard and only being able to control a few dozen warriors.
After talking with Stephanie about Daliang City, Salin left with Huo Jinna and the Winged Skeleton. He passed by Daliang City in a hurry. He did not expect to see another mage next to him.
Huo Jinna was now at level six. Her flying ability was terrible. Fortunately, Salin's Cloud Walk was not a problem for him to carry a mage. Huo Jinna was flying in Salin's cloud. She felt a little suffocated. She could not see what was going on outside. It was terrible. Salin did this on purpose. Otherwise, under his control, the people in the cloud could see what was going on outside. They could even extend the range of their vision.
Huo Jinna was extremely bored. She was carried by Salin during the flight. She could not train, so she could only try to talk to Salin.
"Salin …"
"Call me Your Highness, or Master!" the Winged Skeleton shouted from the side.
Salin waved his hand and said, "Just call me Master. Not many people call me that."
Huo Jinna was shocked by the Winged Skeleton. Hearing Salin's words, she did not think much and said, "Master, where are we going?"
"Golden Plains."
"What is that place?"
"Glükos Basin."
Huo Jinna shook her head blankly. Salin had nothing to say. Huo Jinna was as bad with directions as Shika. She probably had not been to many places in Alchemy City. In Alchemy City, all materials could be provided. She did not need to study geography.
"Huo Jinna."
"Yes."
"How did you get back to Daliang City?"
Huo Jinna's eyes turned red again. She said, "I was following Master. After he went to Cloud Flow City, he took me to an island. Then, we took a boat out to sea and went to a few more islands. One day, Master suddenly asked me to leave. I … "
"Suddenly asked you to leave?"
Salin emphasized the word "suddenly." If Inbos had just come up with this idea and chased Huo Jinna away, it might not be because of him. However, with Inbos's intelligence, he definitely knew that without him, Huo Jinna would not know where and what she would do in this world. But why did Huo Jinna not return to Alchemy City?
"It's not really sudden." Seeing that Salin was biting his words, Huo Jinna returned to being a Magician. She used the most accurate words to describe it. "Master told me that he met you and almost killed you. There is already an irreconcilable conflict between the two of you. Master said that he had a premonition that he would meet you sooner or later, and that there was still a 50% chance that he would be killed by you. If I was by his side, it would not end well. If he died, the Iron Blood Grand Duke would treat me like a slave. "
"Premonition …" Salin pondered for a moment. He had many premonitions, and most of them could be verified. This was one of the abilities of a Level Nine professional. Of course, it was also related to the strength of one's soul. Inbos's soul was stronger than his, so it made sense that he had such a premonition.
"Huo Jinna, why don't you return to Alchemy City?"
"Master owes a lot of money, and when he left, he took some things with him. I can't go back." Huo Jinna was obviously just a little sad, but not dissatisfied with her master's actions.
If someone had told Salin in the past that a powerful Alchemist like Inbos would have no money, he would not have believed it. However, after seeing Inbos's insane equipment, Salin knew that it was unrealistic to rely on Alchemy to make those things.
But wasn't Inbos's moral standard too low? Not only did he run away after owing money, he even took a lot of things with him.
However, Salin also admired Inbos's courage, because what he did was equivalent to offending Alchemy City. Salin suddenly thought that if Inbos owed money, there would definitely be IOUs in other people's hands. In a place like Alchemy City, all IOUs were probably magic contracts. How could Inbos run away?
Could it be that this guy thought of a way to break the contract?
This was too powerful. Contracts were the power of the plane rules, and they could not be violated. How did Inbos ignore the contract and leave Alchemy City? If Huo Jinna also had such a skill, then wouldn't he have signed the contract with her for nothing?
What Salin found most unbelievable was that when he and Rex got married, Alchemy City sent Inbos, and after Inbos left Daliang City, he went straight to Cloud Flow. Obviously, he had received an invitation from the Iron Blood Grand Duke. This was definitely not a coincidence. How did Inbos do it?
The Elemental Hand had many Magic Shooters to send, so why did they send an outsider?
And Inbos seemed to have predicted everything. Could it be that he also knew astrology?
Inbos said that there was a 50% chance that he would be killed by Salin, which meant that the other 50% chance was that Salin would be killed by Inbos. Salin had the family badge and the Elemental Badge, so he would not think much of this judgment. But thinking of Inbos's power and these mysterious things, Salin began to worry.
Huo Jinna's personality obviously would not be depressed forever, and she could not always show her bad mood on her face. She saw that Salin was deep in thought and actually went to talk to the Wing Skeleton.
"This … Mr. Bones, may I ask, how should I address you?"
The Wing Skeleton ignored her. Huo Jinna called him Mr. Bones, which was very similar to how Nelis called him. So what if it was a skeleton? Skeletons were the most powerful revenants, and they were the closest to the form of humans. If she wanted to, she would have become a human long ago.
"Mr. Bones, can I ask you for a favor?" When asking for help, Huo Jinna specially used the honorific "Sir".
"Speak." The Wing Skeleton's face was expressionless. It was covered with a crystal mask, and it flashed coldly in the clouds.
"Your bones are really special. If a few of them are accidentally broken in battle in the future, can you give me one?"
If the Wing Skeleton was a human, it would probably be so angry that it would vomit blood. In its eye sockets, the silver soul fire disappeared, and it became a black hole. He looked at Huo Jinna and said, "If you are injured too seriously in the future and cannot be treated, can you give me your soul?"
Huo Jinna was shocked by the change in the Wing Skeleton's eyes. Then she realized that this skeleton actually had a high level of intelligence! Even among humans, there weren't many who would have such a reaction to the conversation just now.
