[Second update, two more updates to go]
"Winter, you're not my follower," Salin said to Winter tactfully. If he was a follower and needed high-level equipment, he could mention it to Salin, and Salin would find a way to get it for him. However, Winter was only Salin's retainer, and called Salin "Your Highness." According to the contract, he couldn't hurt Salin.
Although the follower gave up a certain amount of freedom, the benefits he received were also huge. Salin would always pay attention to the level of the followers around him, and what type of equipment they needed, then try his best to provide them. The follower didn't have to worry about their daily expenses, and completely relied on Salin's support.
For example, for Mages like Isabella and Daniel, Salin provided ten times more magic cores than an ordinary follower. When they advanced, he even provided higher-level magic cores and Magic Towers.
Even in Salin's kingdom, these followers had the right to participate. They were like anonymous nobles, and had absolute immunity. If these followers died and left behind descendants, Salin would have to continue providing for them, and spend a lot of effort to train them into high-level professionals.
Winter couldn't do that. Salin couldn't provide additional equipment for him for no reason. The God-hunting Spear was already the highest he could offer. A divine weapon, even without any attributes, was still very useful to a knight.
The remnant rule power of the divine weapon itself, and its indestructible quality, were the highest value of the God-hunting Spear.
"Your Highness, what price do you want me to pay?" Winter wasn't surprised by Salin's question at all. Salin could provide him with ordinary equipment for free, but to equip a hundred demons with the required attributes and levels, even if he was a follower, it would still be a huge expense.
"What price can you pay?" Salin asked in return. He didn't know what price Winter could pay either. This kind of person's heart was dead, and he couldn't become a follower. Followers all had desires and goals, and hoped to advance together with him.
Winter hesitated. What did he have to pay?
He had nothing. When he left the Vatican, his daughter wasn't dead yet, and the Pope was worried about him, so his weapon was destroyed when he left. He had no choice but to scheme for the God-hunting Spear.
"I know of a relic …"
"Winter, do you know? We have to keep going into the relic. If there's no trouble, we won't be done even in a few years. "
Dong choked on Salin's words, but Salin's words made sense. Salin didn't lack information about the ruins at all. Although Salin didn't tell him where they were going next, Dong knew that Salin wasn't going to explore just one or a few places, but many, many places. Although Salin didn't tell him where they were going next, Dong knew that Salin wasn't going to explore just one or a few places, but many, many places.
"I … know of a relic. It's the relic of the God of Light. He once descended upon this plane. Only the leader of the God Kingdom's Knights knows about this. It has been passed down in secret for tens of thousands of years. The Pope, the Divine Envoys, and the Inquisition all knew nothing about this. "
Winter was still talking about the ruins, but it was different this time. There were many ruins on the Myers Continent. As long as they were willing to risk their lives, many professions could break into them, and the benefits they could obtain were different.
Sarin's eyes narrowed and he smiled.
Winter's value lay in the fact that he had once been the commander of the Divine Kingdom's Knights. In this position, he knew too many secrets. Although Nicholas was slightly more powerful now, and could even continue to suppress Winter with Salin's help in the future, Nicholas was ostracized by the Church and knew too little.
What Winter knew, Salin could squeeze out bit by bit.
"Then it's a deal. Tell me, what kind of armor do you want me to forge?"
Winter carefully stretched out his left hand, picked up a piece of skin on his pinky finger, and tore it downwards. Salin saw Winter's finger being torn off in circles, and in the end, the whole finger was gone. In Winter's hand, there was an additional drawing.
"This is the secret of the God Kingdom's Knights. Part of the reason why Dinicio didn't kill me was because he wanted this drawing. This drawing is considered a rather precious item for a mage, but I know that this is not enough to obtain the support of His Highness, "Winter said respectfully. Salin also knew that his respect was purely out of habit. This was his attitude towards doing things, and it had even become an instinct.
Salin took the drawing and unfolded it. The drawing was hazy, and the lines and patterns on it were perfectly preserved.
Salin realized that his Elemental Eyes couldn't immediately see through the drawing and see all the secrets. Moreover, memory magic was ineffective, which meant that the drawing itself was a piece of equipment that surpassed level nine.
This was the drawing of a Divine Refinement Master. Every complete God Kingdom's Knights had their own Divine Refinement Master. The Divine Refinement Master knew the secret of the drawing, and would definitely not reveal it to anyone, including the Pope. However, the drawing was in the hands of the commander.
Salin could also forge the God Kingdom's Knight Armor according to the drawing, because he had the power of faith in the Bestowal Ring.
This was why mages were stronger than Divine Refinement Masters. When they reached a certain level, mages could also manipulate the power of faith for alchemy. On the other hand, if Divine Refinement Masters lost their faith, they would become useless.
Salin looked at the materials listed at the bottom of the drawing. He had most of them now. A few could be obtained in Metatlin City, and Rex would also have some precious materials.
These materials weren't unpopular. Instead, they were very common. However, some of them took a long time to forge. If he had all the materials, Salin looked at the divine runes and incantations, trying to find an energy to replace the power of faith.
The power of the stars could be used, but the power of the level-19 Star Condensing Needle was too strong. Salin never dared to use it, afraid that it would cause the plane to devour him. The power of the level-16 Star Condensing Needle could be used. Cain's arrangement was ingenious. The power of the stars extracted now was exactly what Salin could use. As Salin's level increased, the seal on the level-16 Star Condensing Needle would gradually be undone.
However, the level-16 Star Condensing Needle was what Salin used to drive the Primordial Dolls. This Primordial Doll was what Salin would rely on in the future. He couldn't always explore and fight alone. In order to support a huge country, he needed an army of Primordial Dolls to conquer this world.
Perhaps Neris's incarnation in the Fallen Purgatory could help.
Salin had an idea. The most troublesome part of forging the God Kingdom's Knight Armor was collecting the materials and the time needed to forge it.
"Leave the blueprint with me for now. Winter, when do you want to get a hundred sets of God Kingdom's Knight Armor?" Salin was satisfied and asked Winter amiably. The blueprint of the God Kingdom's Knight Armor could definitely provide him with ideas for forging armor. There was hope for the Demon God Flying Sky Armor in the future.
"Your Highness, this God Kingdom's Knight Armor is for demons to wear …"
"I know. The cost of materials will be much higher than that of humans. But it's also worth it. The demons you choose will definitely advance to become Greater Demons. Once they become Greater Demons, they'll be equivalent to human silver sword sages, only slightly stronger. These demons will be the elites of the knights in the future, so it's normal to spend more. "
"Then, Your Highness, let's use half a year. I'll train the demons for half a year first, and they'll probably advance by then."
"Alright, I'll provide you with a hundred sets of God Kingdom's Knight Armor after half a year. I'll embed green mud stones into your main armor, which can contain divinity and power of faith."
Winter lowered his head and gave Salin a knight's salute.
"Your Highness, I can't describe that place verbally. I need a pen and paper to draw the blueprint for Your Highness. When Your Highness is free, go take a look … "
"There's no hurry, Winter. I've already forged your armor, but now it seems that I need to prepare new equipment for you. You go first, I'll study this blueprint. "
"Yes, Your Highness." Winter exited Salin's stone house and saw Isabella and Neris walking toward him. Winter turned sideways to let them pass. Isabella walked into Salin's stone house, her tears falling first.
"Alright, Isabella, don't cry. It's my fault that I didn't find you immediately. Do you still feel wronged? "
"Your Highness, I only hope to improve my strength as soon as possible." Isabella bit her lips, her face flushed red.
Salin saw that Isabella's worries were completely resolved and heaved a sigh of relief. Isabella had only been with him for a short time, and she had been kidnapped for a long time. Salin was also afraid that she would be affected by this matter in the future. Her mentality would change, and it would be difficult for her to advance.
Although Neris's method was rough, it was extremely good for Isabella's mentality to recover after beating Winter up. Neris was very smart, and she was much more sensible than before.
Salin's guess was right. Winter didn't hide the fact that he was slapped by Isabella at all. When Nicholas and the others heard about this, they had the same thought. Neris was creating a cohesive force for this team, and no one could see through her cunning.
Because Neris was usually feared, even Zola didn't want to provoke her, even though she was more beautiful than Rex and Silva.
Even such a vicious, cunning, and greedy demon stood up for Isabella. Of course, it was because of Salin.
Neris comforted Isabella. Salin was about to leave Eleanor behind to learn the Lightning Skill when Silva barged in again.
"Salin, help."
"Help with what?"
"Ah! All of you go out first. "Silva chased them away. Eleanor and the others had no choice but to leave. Only then did Silva take out her triangular hollow bone piece and said to Salin, "I want to borrow your power of the stars to forge this thing."
"Borrow?"
"Yeah, you can't bear to, right?"
"It's not that I can't bear to, but do you have to chase them away?"
"Ahem … Salin, this, we have to do it together. During the forging process, our souls are connected. Who knows if you'll do anything after we're done."
