Salin didn't want anything to happen to him. He brought Nicholas out to train his combat ability. Surviving in such a deep sea for a month without enemy calls was also a huge pressure on a mage. Nicholas had recently made a few pieces of equipment for emergencies.
However, Nicholas wasn't a divine alchemist. His level of equipment making was very ordinary.
Sarin and the winged skeleton quickly rushed to Nicholas's side. Sarin opened the Water Shield and protected Nicholas. The old mage finally heaved a sigh of relief. If he did not have the new Fallen Scepter, he would have been crushed to death by the seawater.
"Nicholas, what happened?" Salin handed Nicholas a small bottle of magic liquid and asked him to drink it first.
Nicholas took a deep breath. It was really comfortable to breathe in the Water Shield.
"This thing. When I was cleaning up the bones, I didn't find it alive." Nicholas pointed at the six-meter-tall skeleton in front of him.
"Huh? It's not an undead! " The Winged Skeleton immediately determined that the big guy that hurt Nicholas wasn't an undead. There wasn't even a trace of soul fire on its bones.
The Winged Skeleton could even deal with the special soul fire of the mechanical undead. It would never be wrong about undead. The huge skeleton was about 50 meters long. It looked like a fish monster.
"Don't worry about what it is. Take it first." Salin stretched out his hand and used the star ring to store the huge skeleton. The star ring's capacity had increased by more than a hundred times, and Salin's mental strength had also increased by twelve times. It was very easy for him to store the skeleton.
"Master!"
"What's wrong?" Salin saw Nicholas looking at him as if he was looking at a monster.
"I … I! Why can't I put it away with the dimensional stone? "
Salin was stunned. He immediately understood that the star ring's rules were higher than the dimensional stone. It seemed that Cain had put a lot of effort into this set of equipment.
"Let's go, Nicholas. You'll have such equipment sooner or later." Salin smiled and patted Nicholas' shoulder. Nicholas lowered his head gloomily. He didn't ask Salin why he had changed all his equipment. He was used to Salin's wealth.
Nicholas had cleaned up all the skeletons within a thousand miles. He only picked the best. Therefore, there was no need to stay here. These bones were enough for Salin to refine equipment for the mages.
Now that he had Hopkina, the alchemy factory was even more useful.
After a few battles, Salin deeply understood the importance of magical equipment. On the battlefield, battles usually lasted for a long time. It was not strange for a campaign to drag on for a few months.
The death rate of soldiers with good equipment was ten times lower than that of soldiers with poor equipment. Of course, this was due to their strength. Soldiers with good equipment were usually elites, but a difference of more than ten times was enough to explain the problem.
Salin's idea was to equip all his troops with magic equipment, from armor to waterskins. From the spear to the arrow in the quiver. It would take twenty years for a child to grow into a qualified soldier. It was much more efficient to keep a soldier in his twenties alive than to train another one.
This time, Salin's trip to the Abyss King's City was clean. He directly asked Cain for what he needed and left. Less than two days after he left, large numbers of pests appeared in the Abyss King's City again. This time, the level of the pests was even higher, reaching a terrifying number of hundreds of millions.
Cain was right. The Abyss King's City was a cursed place. Salin couldn't stay for too long.
Salin had already left Metatlin for fifty days. According to the plan, he would be out for three months. There were still forty days left. No matter what, he could rush back to Metatlin. Salin didn't want to delay on the road. After leaving the Frozen Sea, he simply put away the Elemental Magic Tower and flew in the air with the Winged Skeleton and Nicholas.
Ten days later, Salin returned to Metatlin City.
He distributed the harvested magic cores and bones to the alchemy factory. Jason was now the manager of the alchemy factory. As one of Jason's assistants, Hopkina also started the design work.
Hopkina really liked Metatlin City. She felt that it was a hundred times better than Alchemy City.
Metatlin City didn't have the internal pressure that Alchemy City had, so Mages who went to Alchemy City felt like there were giants chasing after them. They were under great pressure every day.
To survive in Alchemy City, even Imbos owed a lot of money. Moreover, some Mages who went to Alchemy City to seek development could only provide countless free labor for the Elemental Hand without help. They might not even be able to afford a house even if they worked hard for ten years.
Metatlin was different. Here, not only did Hopkina not have to pay any fees, but she also had an income. If the design was adopted, she would pay more.
The materials for the experiment were mostly provided by the alchemy factory in Metatlin City. Hopkina didn't need much herself. She was a Great Mage and could receive a mid-level magic core every day, which was enough for her training.
As soon as Salin returned, he provided a lot of materials. Hopkina was dissatisfied and complained that Salin didn't bring her when he went out.
Salin took out the Spear of Hopkina he made and coaxed her, "This is for you. Don't mention anything about me leaving. That Jialin …"
Hopkina smiled and took Salin's gift. She said loudly, "I understand, I understand. She's a bad woman. She's fighting with Sister Sica for you. I like Sister Sica. I won't help her. "
Although Salin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he couldn't explain anything to Hopkina. Hopkina's mind was a mess other than magic alchemy.
This kind of situation was very common among Great Mages. Even among Magic Shooters, there were many like this. The advancement of humans would only become very obvious at Level Nine. There were very few Level Nine professions who had this kind of advancement.
For example, after advancing to Nature Priest, Sica was obviously much smarter than before. However, Sica insisted that it was because she had two children.
Salin had gained a lot this time. When he was distributing the materials, Sica had already brought the children to the alchemy factory. The two of them held one child each. Looking at the mages sorting the materials excitedly, Salin felt that these days were very good.
If it wasn't for the contract with Myers, if it wasn't for that bastard Dinicio …
Salin said to Sica, "Shouldn't our children be named?"
"No hurry. The Caucasian are not. They're discussing what name to use."
"No matter what name, it has to be Metatlin." Salin laughed proudly. He held his son, and the little guy hit his head with his fist. However, Salin didn't feel any pain. The Destiny Puppet took the brunt of the little guy's attack for him.
"Sica, you have a way to communicate with these two, right?"
"Yes, why?"
"Let's go back." Salin pulled Sica back to the Temple and went to see Jason first. Jason didn't say much and didn't even let Salin tell him about this experience.
"If it's not related to the safety of Metatlin City, don't tell me. Some things are best kept a secret. "Jason looked at Salin's star pattern suit and said.
Salin and Sica returned to the room and put the two children down. He took out two palm-sized dolls and told Sica how to use them.
Smiling, Sica pulled the two children to her side. This time, she used Caucasian to communicate with the children. The two children grabbed the dolls and began to study them.
After all, they were too small and the method of controlling the dolls was more complicated. Sica and Salin didn't have a good idea and could only let Sica communicate with the two children.
"How about it, Salin? Jialin will be back soon. You won't take her to danger and throw me to the teacher again, right?" Sica suddenly mentioned Jialin, still full of dissatisfaction.
She now knew that this person was forced to Salin by Ebola. Salin couldn't refuse.
"There's no other way!" Salin complained. Even if he had the Thunder Dragon Spear, he couldn't kill Ebola. His understanding of the laws of thunder and lightning was not deep enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so frustrated.
"I don't care. You have the Elemental Magic Tower. It shouldn't be a problem to protect the children, right? Zola's injuries are healed too. Take him with you. Otherwise, he'll hook up with female nobles again and cause you a lot of trouble. "
"Zola's healed?" Salin was overjoyed. Even if the realm's power kept increasing, a talent like Zola wouldn't be left behind. But how did he hook up with female nobles?
"Zola said he's very envious of you marrying a Mage like Rex, so he's trying to please Guya." Sica was angry when she mentioned this. Zola was too troublesome. It would be fine if he could hook up with her, but if he couldn't, Salin and Guya would drift apart.
After the war broke out, the role of the four dukes under Salin became more and more obvious. Because Holy Rock City couldn't control the Qinyin North, many members of the four families in the Qinyin North defected to Phoenix. Some came directly to Metatlin and sought refuge with the four dukes.
In the chaos of war, these people brought a large number of people and wealth to seek refuge. Every one of them was a talent. Hence, Salin's Metatlin Kingdom expanded rapidly. In the later stages, he didn't have to worry about governance.
"Alright, Sica. This time, I'll bring you, Zola, and Nicholas. Count Jialin in too. We'll go straight to Port Royal and meet Rex. I need some help. "
"That's great!" Sica cheered in Caucasian, hugging Salin and kissing him hard. Salin used all his strength to spit out her tongue. Panting, he said, "Sica, write a letter to Rex and ask Jialin to wait for us there."
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" A Caucasian's voice came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Sica calmed down, regaining the bearing of a regent.
