[Third Update]
"Did you get a warship?" Cain asked in surprise.
"Nonsense, I'm not a necromancer. Where would I get so many souls to use?"
Cain immediately guessed the source of Salin's souls, because this method of making warriors sleep was a very common method in ancient times. If these level-9 warriors were not sealed up, there would be many side effects when they crossed planes.
"Alright, how many years have these warriors been here for? If I don't deal with it soon, I'm afraid their souls will dissipate, "Cain muttered to himself. After a casual calculation, he realized that what Salin said was not too far-fetched. The warriors sealed on the ancient warship were only level-9. After such a long time, their bodies were not far from rotting.
If the warship was not well sealed, even their souls might not be able to protect them.
Unlike himself, who would naturally dissipate after a thousand years, souls could be placed into dolls. According to the customs of the Myers Continent and even more ancient legends, these souls would be resurrected sooner or later.
It was better than being half-dead. Thinking of this, Cain stretched out his hand and tore open a crack in the void, taking out a wooden box.
This wooden box was three feet long, one foot wide, and half a foot thick. It looked like a military space box used to store arrows.
"This is a dimensional box. It was also very rare back then. It contains star-patterned cloth, which is necessary for making dolls. Salin, you can make the star-patterned cloth yourself. This is the essence. Use a little on the head of each doll to store the soul. You stay here and talk to me for a month. During this month, I'll make dolls for you. How about it? "
Salin stretched out his hand and stored the dimensional box into the demonic god ring. He smiled at Cain and said, "Okay, I'll stay with you for a month."
"I mean a month outside," Cain said slyly.
Salin was speechless. The flow of time in the Astrology Tower was different. According to the grandmaster, the flow of time here could be a hundred times faster than the outside world. Wouldn't a month be many years?
Cain seemed to know Salin's worries and said, "I can't afford to increase the flow of time here. The flow of time here is ten times faster than the outside world. Stay here for ten months, and I'll let your astrology advance to level-10."
Seeing Salin's reluctant look, Cain said, "This is the condition of the exchange. Otherwise, the previous deal will be nullified."
After a pause, Cain continued, "I don't have too many things here to give you. Back then, I could still walk around the vicinity, but after that... I couldn't leave the Astrology Tower. Therefore, it is very important for you to advance to Rank 10. You can search around King City and find some things you need. If you haven't reached the level of a level 10 astrologer, there will be many magic arrays, star charts, and elemental creatures attacking you. "
Salin nodded. "Then I'll listen to you. It won't be easy for me to leave anyway."
He calculated in his heart. It wouldn't take him more than ten days to reach this place. It would take him at most twenty days to go back and forth. If he stayed here for a month, he would still have forty days to spare. Furthermore, if he wanted to study magic, the Astrology Tower would be a good choice.
"It's good that you understand," Cain said as he took out the star-patterned cloth from his space equipment and began to make a doll for Salin. Salin needed a lot of dolls, but an astrologer wasn't a tailor. Cain released his level-18 Condensing Star Needle. The needle danced in the air, cutting out pieces of cloth and sewing the dolls at the same time.
Cain seemed very relaxed. Salin asked, "Is there a Thunder Dragon's skeleton in King City of the Abyss?"
"Thunder Dragon? There should be, but it's in the palace. What do you need it for? "
"To make a special piece of equipment."
"If you need one below level-16, you can try your luck at the general's residence. If it's level-16, forget it. Even if it's a skeleton, you can't touch it."
"I understand. Level-15 is enough," Salin replied. He had been provoked by Dinicio. Originally, he didn't want to make any more equipment, but he had to rest for half a year after using the family badge once. It was really troublesome.
Looking at Jia Lin's mask, it could even replace her in death, and not just one. Salin once again understood the significance of equipment.
A mage shouldn't rely on equipment, but even more so, they couldn't go without. If Jia Lin didn't have that mysterious mask, she would've been killed by instant death magic. This kind of thing, he should get one too.
Seeing Salin stand up, Cain said anxiously, "Salin, you're not going now, are you?"
"Of course, I'm very busy," Salin replied bluntly.
"Okay, okay, I have a level-15 Thunder Dragon's skeleton. Just stay here and listen to me tell you about astrology."
"I need to make equipment now. I can listen to everything you say." Salin didn't budge an inch. This old guy had just said he didn't have anything with him, but seeing that he was about to leave, he said he had a level-15 Thunder Dragon's skeleton with him.
Actually, Salin had wronged Cain. Astrologists weren't weak at flying, but like mages, they were more afraid of lightning. Therefore, Cain had gotten a Thunder Dragon's skeleton to make flying equipment for his student, so he wouldn't be struck to death by lightning. But his student wasn't so lucky. Cain died before he could make a move.
This Thunder Dragon's skeleton was useless to Cain. He was a level-18 astrologer. Although he couldn't ignore lightning, he definitely wouldn't be struck to death.
A level-15 Thunder Dragon was a god-like existence. Unfortunately, there were too few Thunder Dragons domesticated by humans, and they weren't easy to raise. The one Cain got was exchanged for with a level-17 equipment.
Astrologers, like mages, attached great importance to inheritance. Cain had spent a lot to get this Thunder Dragon for his student.
The same level of equipment, with different materials, had different effects. The level-17 equipment that Cain used to exchange for the Thunder Dragon's skeleton was refined by killing a level-17 god with great difficulty.
It sounded easy, but there weren't many gods above level-16, and each of them was very powerful. Back then, Cain hadn't reached level-18 yet. Hunting a level-17 god required several people to act at the same time. In the end, there wouldn't be many materials that could be distributed. For humans, gods were as precious as the greenstone on the Myers Continent.
Salin got the Thunder Dragon's skeleton, which was more than 40 meters long. Only in a place like the Astrology Tower, where space was expanded to a magical extent, could such a huge thing be accommodated.
Cain didn't argue with Salin. He wasn't a grandmaster. If his student didn't need this Thunder Dragon's skeleton, he wouldn't even bother to look at it.
Salin skillfully dismantled the Thunder Dragon's skeleton, which was also flickering with electric currents. However, Salin was wearing the gloves given to him by the grandmaster, so he didn't need to use his own skills to avoid damage.
A level-15 Thunder Dragon was equivalent to a low-level god, or a little stronger. After all, gods weren't immune to lightning. Even in the realm of gods, lightning still had a powerful lethality.
Salin had done his own research. A level-8 Thunder Dragon could release electric currents by shaking its muscles. And this level-15 Thunder Dragon's skeleton, which had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, was still flickering with electric currents. This was already the power of rules. If this Thunder Dragon had believers, it could even start to create a Divine Kingdom. And its body was the silhouette of a Divine Kingdom.
This was a complete Thunder Dragon's skeleton. Salin carefully took out the huge magic core. This was the most magical magic core Salin had ever seen. It was almost the color of night, and in the core, various colored electric currents flickered.
Salin thought about it. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to cut it. However, he couldn't use other methods to deal with a level-15 material, so he could only ask Cain for help.
Cain didn't stop talking either. He kept explaining astrology to Salin, and even had the energy to sew a doll while demonstrating his skills to Salin. Salin gave him the Thunder Dragon's magic core, and Cain used his Star Condensation Needle to cut it into 24 equal parts. The core was well preserved, and Salin put it away. It would be useful in the future.
After the Thunder Dragon surpassed level-10, it began to grow claws and thick legs, but it still didn't look like a giant dragon. This was because the body of the Thunder Dragon looked too much like a horned snake.
Salin carefully sorted out the materials and searched the Thunder Dragon's skeleton.
In the process of looking for suitable materials, Salin also familiarized himself with the mageweath on the level-15 Thunder Dragon's skeleton. The complexity of the mageweath was thousands of times that of a level-10 Thunder Dragon, but the pattern was not much different.
Salin spent a whole three months to memorize the mageweath on the Thunder Dragon's skeleton. For a mage like him who had strong spiritual power and could expand it by more than 10 times, this memorization speed was enough to show how complicated the mageweath was.
In these three months, Cain had been explaining astrology to Salin endlessly. Salin himself did not know that his astrology was slowly improving. Cain was using his life force to modify Salin's body, and Salin didn't know it himself.
At the same time, Cain's speed at making dolls also exceeded Salin's expectations. These dolls were so exquisite that they were no different from real people, and Cain could make three in a minute.
This wasn't strange. Cain was a level-18 astrologer, and the dolls Salin needed could accommodate level-9 warriors. As long as the dolls reached level-10, they could guarantee the safety of the Primordial Warrior's soul. Making dolls that were too strong was meaningless, and would instead make the Primordial Warrior's soul uncontrollable.
Seeing the dolls being kept into the Demon God Ring, Salin was overjoyed. These dolls were equivalent to a mage's Construct Puppet. After possessing the soul of the Primordial Warrior, the consumption of Star Power became much lower. At least he didn't have to worry about the Ironblood Grand Duke anymore. No matter how strong the Ironblood Grand Duke and Inpos were, they couldn't control all the warriors on a warship.
And that Dinicio, if he encountered an attack from the Primordial Dolls, he would probably have to flee, right?
