[First Update]
Although Salin had been in and out of the Abyss King's City twice, he was still young. However, after taking control of the kingdom, Salin naturally had a kind of influence that allowed him to grasp the big picture and look down from above.
These Magic Shooters had to take Salin's words seriously. After Rex arrived, he quickly retracted his command to let these Magic Shooters know that this couple was no pushover. And now, Salin was telling them the truth. If they wanted to participate in the relic exploration, they had to get Salin's permission.
Even Rex's authorization was useless. Salin was now forcefully treating the relic as his own. After all, at least he was the one who discovered it.
No matter how stubborn the Magic Shooters were, it was useless. The disaster Salin had created was too terrifying. Although there were no statistics on the battlefield's casualties, from the images sent back by the flying puppets, no one was alive within a radius of more than 120 miles.
The enemies didn't even dare to enter the area again. They couldn't even see the corpses. The earth flipped a few times, and all the corpses were buried under the soil and rocks. Salin had created this disaster. When facing Salin, the Magic Shooters naturally lost all their vigor. They were even a little timid.
If they didn't sign a contract with Salin, they wouldn't even have the chance to participate. After signing a contract, everyone understood that they would have nothing to do with the Golden Plains anymore.
"I won't sign a contract." Facing Salin's coercion, Garin spoke first, and she was very firm.
"I don't need you to sign a contract. Garin, as your friend, you can enter the relic. But this relic belongs to the kingdom. You're different from them, and you won't get any benefits." Salin spoke in a blatant tone. Garin's face was burning behind the mask, but she forcefully held back her anger.
Naturally, she maintained a certain amount of combat power. With so many pieces of equipment, she definitely had some special tricks up her sleeve. However, compared to Salin, she couldn't do anything alone. This was Salin and Rex's territory.
Besides, Garin was already satisfied that Salin allowed her to enter. Who knew what would happen in the relic? If there was an accident, it was easy for her to get some benefits.
Garin had entered a few relic sites with Ebola. Many materials and equipment were in inconspicuous places. She didn't believe that Salin could watch everything so closely that she wouldn't have a chance to make a move.
The twelve Magic Shooters of the Golden Plains began to discuss in low voices. Their voices were very soft, but Salin could hear them. They were undoubtedly discussing their future choices. When Garin asked them to guard Liang City, he had made it very clear that they didn't have any other mission and didn't need to return to the Golden Plains.
If it weren't for Garin's temptation, they might not have really wanted the command of Liang City. However, these Magic Shooters were very good at commanding the army. Looking at the somewhat chaotic defense system in Great Liang City, they couldn't help but take action.
Everyone agreed that Salin Salin the Golden Plains wouldn't have any conflicts with the Shooters of Liang City. Ebola wanted to support Rex, and Salin was Rex's husband. If he signed a contract with Salin, even if he completely cut off his interests with the Golden Plain, it wouldn't be considered a betrayal. Ebola did not allow them to go back.
After struggling for a long time, the twelve 9th Rank Magic Shooters reluctantly signed the contract with Salin. Salin was very satisfied. Although these twelve Magic Shooters were not followers, they had become the Court Magic Shooters of the Metatlin Kingdom. The twelve 9th Rank High Mages were taken care of, and their students and followers were all taken in by Salin.
Salin didn't lack people in Metatlin City, but Ceylon City was. When Liang City's defense was finished, he would send them to Ceylon City to help Nelis.
After signing the contract in front of Garin, Garin felt she had made a mistake. Why did she have to go against Salin? She wasn't like this.
Oh no. If she couldn't keep a calm mind, advancing to level ten would only be a dream.
Salin didn't need her to sign a contract. He let her into the relic as a friend. This separated her from the twelve Magic Shooters. She couldn't get their support anymore.
If Salin forced her to sign a contract, even if it was a contract that forbade her from taking action in private, it would still make the Magic Shooters sympathize with her. But now, Salin could do anything he wanted, directly isolating her.
Salin's move was brilliant. If the Magic Shooters refused, the result would be the same. The Magic Shooters couldn't enter the relic, but she could. The Magic Shooters were naturally envious. She wouldn't be able to use them in the future.
Garin remembered her teacher's evaluation of Salin — a magic genius who could become an emperor.
This was a complicated evaluation. No Magic Shooters would be willing to be an emperor. The emperor's position would waste too much energy. They wouldn't have time to study magic.
Garin understood now. Salin had a thorough understanding of the rules of the world. He was ready to break them as the times changed.
Who said a future emperor couldn't be a Mage?
Her teacher had said that Salin hadn't grown up yet. Once he did, Rex would be overshadowed.
Salin didn't care what Garin thought. He didn't have much time. The people from the Inquisition would arrive in two days. Although they couldn't directly enter Liang City to attack, some things had to be done immediately.
For example, fetching water.
The water stored in Great Liang City was enough for nearly a million people to use for more than two weeks. But now that the scarce water vein under Great Liang City had been completely cut off, Great Liang City could no longer obtain water from underground, and there were no rivers flowing through it. Everyone would die of thirst in half a month.
"Grace, take the Winged Skeleton and Zola, and two hundred Primordial Puppets to fetch water from the sea. Fill as much as you can. The Winged Skeleton will set up a teleportation portal at the bottom of the lake. If necessary, we'll draw drinking water from the sea. Be sure to come back within a day! "Salin reminded Rex.
"What about you?" Although Rex wanted to enter the underground relic first, she couldn't refuse Salin's request. Everyone in the city was her army. Without water, it wasn't enough to rely on a thousand Mages.
The water made by Mages was slightly different from normal water. Only Restoration Water could be drunk normally and was harmless.
Building a teleportation portal in the sea could indeed draw water. The problem was that it consumed a lot. The diameter of the teleportation portal and the volume of the teleportation items were all related to the consumption. The water fetched in this way would probably be very valuable. Plus, it wasn't safe. Once the enemy found out, they could easily destroy the teleportation portal.
It was even more likely that they would poison the other end of the portal. This was a temporary solution, just in case.
In order to save the lives of nearly a million people, Rex had to follow Salin's order and leave Liang City. She had the God Luo Ring and the protection of Zola, the Golden Sword Saint. In addition to the two hundred Primordial Puppets, the broken army of the allied army posed no threat to her.
It was useless for others to go to the sea. Only Rex's God Luo Ring, which could almost accommodate the entire world, could carry enough water for a million people.
"Masters, there's one more thing I need your help with." As Salin spoke, he took out the blueprint of Liang City and pointed. "I want to install a certain number of magic cannons on top of the city to prevent the enemy from using large equipment. But as you can see, if the magic cannons are fired at the same time within a few hundred miles of Liang City, there will be unpredictable consequences. So, these magic cannons … "
The Magic Shooters nodded. Salin didn't need to explain too clearly for everyone to understand. This required some calculations to calculate the positions of the magic cannons and the firing frequency to prevent elemental resonance. The power of the magic cannons decreased sharply in this environment, but they were driven by the power of magic cores after all, so their lethality was still greater than that of elementalists.
And if elemental resonance occurred again and triggered a disaster, no one could guarantee that Liang City would be lucky enough to survive. Even if it did, no one could be sure if the giant statue under Liang City would continue to rise. If Liang City was pushed to a height of a few miles, what would happen to the people in the city?
"Eleanor, Sue, Nicholas, the two kids, please take care of them." Salin said to his three followers.
Nicholas and the other two didn't argue. Everyone wanted to enter the ruins, but they only had two days, so they wouldn't be able to find anything even if they went in. Salin was only going to check out the situation. He couldn't bring everyone down, especially the kids.
"Alright, Jia Lin, let's rest for six hours. When the masters are done with their calculations, we'll go down and take a look."
"Where will I stay?" Jia Lin returned to her original gentle tone and asked Salin in a pleading tone.
"If you want, you can stay. You can choose any of the sixteen floors. No one will disturb you," Salin replied with a smile. Even he couldn't completely control the Elemental Magic Tower, so it was impossible for Jia Lin to research anything from it.
"Thank you, Salin. I haven't had a good place to stay these days. I'm going to rest." Jia Lin said and left the 24th floor of the Elemental Magic Tower. She walked down the stairs and slowly calmed down. Salin couldn't afford to offend his teacher anyway. If she stayed by his side, there was still a chance to subdue this guy.
Watching Jia Lin walk down the stairs, Sicar curled his lips and said, "This body, it's like chopping firewood."
Sicar was strong, and his voice wasn't soft either. Jia Lin wasn't far, but even outside the city, Sicar could hear her. Jia Lin had a good body, not at all like chopping firewood. But compared to Sicar, Rex's body was somewhat lacking.
Jia Lin walked a little awkwardly, which was the most honest reaction of a woman. She was angry, angry at Sicar. But Jia Lin still held it in. She walked down the stairs and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Magic Shooters were a little embarrassed. They could only lower their heads and calculate the data on the blueprints. Salin said goodbye to everyone and pulled Sicar, gesturing for Eleanor and the others to leave.
