[Second Update]
The Desolate Warriors controlled by the Fragment of Eternity were the most powerful, many times stronger than the puppets and Predator Warriors. However, once the Desolate Warriors were injured, they would be completely crippled, which was equivalent to dying in battle. The puppets could be repaired. As long as the soul was still there, he could use the Star Condensation Needle to completely restore the puppets' battle power.
This was the difference between scrolls and magic books. Although scrolls were cheap, they would be destroyed after one use. Magic books, on the other hand, could be used repeatedly. High-level magic books might not even be destroyed.
"Sir, thank you very much." Salin respectfully bowed to Cain as a wizard.
Calling him sir was a form of respect second only to that of a teacher. Salin's bow made Cain understand that Salin could never become a pure astrologer.
"There's still a month's time. You'd better learn astrology here. At the very least, you have to understand the meaning of the star chart. Otherwise... You won't be able to help me much." Cain's body was also a puppet. Unless he wanted to, he would never have any expression.
When he said this, he had already calmed down. He could see Salin's fate. This young man's future achievements might not be lower than his, as long as he could live to his age.
Their fates would only intersect in the Abyss King City. If he obtained freedom in the future, he would immediately break through the barrier of the crystal wall and go to a higher level world. If Salin wanted to train to level-18, no matter how good his fate was, it would still take him tens of thousands of years, right?
Salin also felt Cain's emotions. He was also very regretful. Cain's strength was the highest among all the people he had ever seen. There was no parallel. Such a strong person would also be trapped in a puppet, trapped in this astrology tower.
"Alright, Salin, there's nothing to be sad about." Cain paused for a moment, then said, "You've been talking to me for nine months, you should be tired of it. However, we agreed to stay here for ten months. In the remaining month, I'll forge a magic staff for you. You have to advance the defensive spell you're most proficient in to the tenth level. There are three level-10 defensive spells stored in the magic staff. They're very important to you. "
"Yes, sir." Salin agreed. He sat down and began to think about how to advance his Water Shield.
His temperament was the most common trait among pure mages. When it came to cultivation, everything else could be put down. Although he had the Fate Puppet, it was only meant to protect his life when he met the strongest enemy. For normal defense, he could only use the Rank 7 Water Ripple Shield.
Salin was very satisfied that the level-seven Water Pattern Shield could defend against level-nine spells because it contained a trace of the power of the natural order. But now, it seemed that it was far from enough. If he had the Thunder Dragon Spear, his enemies would also have similar equipment. If he encountered an enemy with powerful equipment, it would be too dangerous for him.
While Salin was thinking about advanced magic, Cain quickly forged a magic staff for him. There were no magic staffs in the Star Pattern Set, nor in the original Demon God Set. Salin had a lot of magic staffs, all of which were given to him by Joey. To Salin, those magic staffs were nothing more than scrolls that could be used again and again. They weren't that precious.
The magic staff that Cain had forged for Salin was a rather heavy piece of equipment. It was a head taller than Salin, and its entire body was made of material that flickered with silver starlight. Cain used astrology to hide the starlight in the end, turning it into a dark green thing.
The top of the magic staff was hollowed out with six holes. In the middle of the six holes, there was something made of an unknown material. It was translucent and slightly blue. It looked like water, but also like the colloidal body fluid of some magical beast.
Salin was in a state of cultivation and didn't pay any attention to Cain, much less hear what he said. Cain was bored, so he looked at the Winged Skeleton that had been silent for nine months.
"What's your name?"
"Bing."
"What weapon do you use?"
The Winged Skeleton took out a giant axe and a meteor hammer. Cain glanced at them with some disdain. The idea was good, and the materials were passable. It couldn't be considered a powerful piece of equipment.
"Give this to me. I'll forge two things for you. They'll be enough for you to use for a lifetime." Cain was really bored. He couldn't chat with Salin, so he made do with the skeleton.
"My lifetime is very long." The Winged Skeleton was speaking the truth. As an Undead Lord, living for hundreds of thousands of years was considered a premature lifespan.
"How about this?" Cain said as he took out a giant scythe. The scythe was completely black, but the blade had a tinge of dark silver. Once the scythe was out, the disguised silver flames in the Winged Skeleton's eyes were extinguished, revealing human-like pupils.
"This … belongs to the Nether God!"
"That's right. When I was young, I killed a Nether God in the Purgatory Plane and took its weapon. Humans can't use it, so I never gave it away. "
"This isn't an equivalent exchange." The Winged Skeleton hesitated. Its axe, not to mention its attributes, was a million times worse. The Nether God's weapon usually disappeared with the Nether God's fall. This giant Nether God Scythe had been preserved. It was probably a treasure that was hard to find in many planes that could compare.
"You're not a mage. There's still more than twenty days. Keep me company and talk."
"Okay." The Winged Skeleton took the Nether God Scythe without hesitation. The giant scythe was much longer than its axe. With the scythe in hand, the Winged Skeleton felt as if the light of God shone directly on its soul fire. It immediately let go in pain.
Cain laughed and said, "Impatient skeleton, if I don't forge this for you, you won't even be able to hold it."
The Winged Skeleton knew it had been tricked, but there was nothing it could do. The difference in power between Cain and it was greater than the difference between an ant and a giant dragon.
Of course, Cain wasn't playing tricks on the Winged Skeleton. This skeleton was loyal to Salin. Forging a weapon for it would allow Salin to live. Finding the Star Assembly Needle for him was the most important thing.
Cain held the Winged Skeleton's giant axe in his hand and studied it. Then, he melted the axe in his hand with starlight and extracted a trace of rules, which he threw into the Nether God Scythe.
On the Nether God Scythe, complicated and dense necromancy mageweaths appeared. At the top of the scythe, two giant magic arrays in the shape of eyes appeared. That was where the Winged Skeleton stored necromancy magic.
Cain didn't tell the Winged Skeleton that the Nether God Scythe had actually merged with the Nether God's God Kingdom. Otherwise, this weapon wouldn't have been preserved. The Nether God Scythe was an illusion of the Nether God's will. Once the Nether God died, this weapon would disappear.
The Nether God wasn't a powerful god, but there were a lot of them and they were almost immortal. Killing a level-15 Nether God was more difficult than killing a level-16 mid-level god.
Cain chatted with the Winged Skeleton. He didn't feel that the Winged Skeleton was boring. There were no living beings that could talk to him. He had been lonely in the Astrology Tower for too long.
A month quickly passed, and Salin woke up, feeling very weak. A level-9 Mage also needed to eat. Salin felt like he was going to die after not eating or drinking for a month.
Salin smiled bitterly as he gulped down two bottles of magic liquid. When he was in the Shrine, he wouldn't be so careless when he was training.
But it was a good thing. Salin realized that his fear of hunger had disappeared.
After Salin became a Mage, he never completely got rid of the shadow in his heart. When he was young, he was too hungry, so he always prepared a lot of food in his space equipment.
This time, when he regained the feeling of hunger, Salin even felt a little closer.
"Salin, you can go now. Forget about the Grandmaster trying to harm you for the time being. "
"Yes, sir. Even if I reach the level of a Grandmaster in the future, I will let him go this time. "
"Oh? Why? "
"If you want something, you have to pay the same price. Although the Grandmaster wanted to harm me, he also helped me a lot. "
Cain was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. You are a Mage. Leave this place. When you advance to level-10, you can come back. I will help you advance to the level of a level-10 Astrologer, then you can enter the palace of the Abyss King's City. "
"Thank you, sir." Salin thanked him again. Cain didn't force him to advance to level-10, which was already respecting his choice. If astrology exceeded his magic rank, he would be greatly affected in the future. He might even switch to astrology instead of continuing to study magic.
"You don't have to hunt in the King's City. Those puppets are enough to deal with the trouble in front of you. Everything in the Abyss King's City has been cursed by fate. "Cain reminded Salin.
"I know. I will leave directly."
"That's good." As Cain spoke, he suddenly released a ray of starlight from his hand, enveloping Salin and the Winged Skeleton. Then, he directly tore space with his hand and stuffed Salin and the Winged Skeleton inside.
Salin and the Winged Skeleton were thrown out of the spatial tunnel, directly outside the Abyss King's City.
Salin smiled bitterly. Cain had acted too quickly. Originally, he wanted to walk around the Abyss King's City to see if there were any new Angels of Fear, then use his Thunder Dragon Spear to get rid of them. The Drum of Fear was a good thing. At least, it was very useful against ordinary soldiers.
One drum was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of troops.
When he beat the drum, the enemy would have to send out their peak experts to fight with him. Otherwise, the battle would end without any suspense.
But Cain was right. What he needed now were things like mid-level Magic Cores to arm his troops. With the Magic Furnace, Salin's need for high-level Magic Cores was not as strong.
"Bing, a month has passed here. Nicholas, you must be tired, right?"
"That old man …" The Winged Skeleton stopped speaking. Why did I have the same tone as Nelis?
"Master! Master! "Salin and the Winged Skeleton heard Nicholas's shout at the same time.
Salin used his Elemental Eyes to scan and saw Nicholas frowning. He was guarding a huge Magic Beast skeleton and using divine arts to release sound waves.
