[Fourth Update]
Among the equipment that Salin had crafted for everyone, there was a magic array that could defend against divination spells. After distributing the equipment, Salin felt a lot more at ease. At least the next time he met someone from the Inquisition, he wouldn't be hit by a single spell.
Salin also did some self-reflection. If he wore a mask on his Star Pattern Suit and formed a complete layer of defense, he would still be able to resist the Prophecy Spell. However, he habitually didn't wear a mask and directly damaged the Fate Puppet.
The only regret was that just as he and Silva were about to craft equipment, Neris tore down the house. He couldn't even get intimate with Silva. He couldn't rebuild the house, right?
"Let's go," Salin said weakly. His followers didn't know why.
Neris collected all the demons, including the one hundred demons that were given to Winter. There wasn't anything worth taking away in the valley, so Salin had Nicholas release the Fallen Divine Spell to destroy all traces of their camp.
Everyone changed into the new equipment that Salin had crafted. The group turned north and came to the side of the Red River.
This was a very rare river. It flowed through the mountains and still maintained its width and depth. It was like a canal that humans had opened in the mountains.
Salin took out the dragon boat that he had crafted. This was an underwater boat made from the skin of a thunder dragon. It was 18 meters long and translucent. There were more than a dozen individual leather bags, which were where everyone resided. Salin and Silva entered the largest leather bag. The others looked at each other, but still found a leather bag and entered it.
After entering the leather bag, the translucent dragon boat closed up. The leather bag was sealed and filled with liquid. All of them were Senior Professions, so they were sensitive to the fact that this leather bag could absorb air from the liquid outside to provide breathing for people.
Eleanor didn't know how Salin did it. Isabella's level was even lower, so she was also very curious about this magic.
Salin personally controlled the dragon boat. The mechanical parts of the dragon boat started to move silently. The eight claws under the dragon boat propped up on the ground. Like a worm, it dived into the river.
As soon as the dragon boat entered the river, it sank. Only when it reached the bottom did it extend its claws and crawl forward.
The dragon boat's movement made everyone feel quite amused. Everyone was in their skins, and it was not very stable. It was as if they were riding on a massive magical beast, and it was quite comfortable.
The dragon boat's exterior was made of the Thunder Dragon's skin. Thunder Dragons were rare Magical Beasts that didn't have scales. Their skin was tough, and after being refined, they were translucent. Salin had wasted a lot of time filling the inside of the dragon boat with Restoration Water. These skin bags were actually the swim bladders of giant fishes in the sea. They were originally used to refine magic potions, but Salin had used them to refine narrow cabins for people to sit in. The Restoration Water could decompose gas, and at the same time, the waste gas could be discharged.
Salin had thought about this design a long time ago. This was just an experiment, and it was very successful.
The Dragon Boat moved against the current underwater, completely relying on the eight mechanical claws below it to move forward, moving close to the bottom of the river at a shocking speed of more than thirty miles. This kind of speed obviously couldn't be achieved by relying on a small Mana Furnace, but the special properties of the Thunder Dragon skin allowed the dragon boat to move underwater without any resistance.
The skeleton inside the dragon boat had been refined by Salin according to the Thunder Dragon's body structure, so its movements were very coordinated.
Moving underwater was definitely slower than flying, so it was better to ride a Nightmare. But the Red River branch was extremely deep. If one didn't observe closely, it would be difficult to discover the dragon boat underwater.
The dragon boat was covered in natural lightning magic patterns, so even Prophecy couldn't detect it.
It was also Salin's first time sitting on this thing. If not for the fact that the people around him were all powerful Professionals, he wouldn't have dared to use this equipment that had just been refined and hadn't been tested yet.
In any case, the river was only twenty meters deep. Even if they entered the plains, it wouldn't be more than a hundred meters deep. Even if something happened to the dragon boat, it wouldn't be difficult for everyone to escape to the surface.
Salin held Shika in his arms. He could see the scenery in the clear water and control the dragon boat forward. It was a very novel feeling.
It wasn't just him. The others also changed their moods and admired the scenery underwater.
There were many creatures in the Red River branch, and it wasn't strange for some Magical Beasts to appear at a depth of twenty meters. But these Magical Beasts had been scared off by the Thunder Dragon's aura, so they wouldn't add to Salin's group's troubles.
The dragon boat's design was excellent, but the problem was that no one except Salin could release any attacks from the inside.
What was interesting was that the higher ranked fish and magical beasts would walk around the dragon boat, while the weaker creatures didn't feel any danger. Some even stuck to the dragon boat.
Salin didn't bother to release magic to attack. The dragon boat was like a living Thunder Dragon underwater, going against the current.
"Shika, I really regret refining this thing into a transparent one."
Shika pinched Salin. "What else do you want? Be careful not to capsize."
"You can release Cloud Walk and let Neris control the boat. Perception Sharing."
Shika pinched Salin's leg again and said hatefully, "Perception Sharing? What do you want to share with her? "
Salin said helplessly, "She'll sense it anyway, the soul contract …"
"Okay, Salin, if you dare to do that, I'll share perception with Nicholas and the others. Don't think you're the only one with this skill. The Nature Priest can communicate with thousands of Caucasians at the same time."
Thousands? Salin immediately gave in. This was not a joke!
"But Shika, if we don't leave the river, we'll have to walk at least seven thousand miles. At full speed, seven hundred miles a day, it'll take ten days to reach our destination. Ten days is very boring, and we can't use Water Flame Alchemy in this place. "
"You can chat with me, Salin. Don't you like it?"
"Yes, I like it very much. Then what should I say?" Salin followed Shika's meaning.
"Let's talk about Rex."
"Rex? What's there to talk about? " Salin didn't want to mention Rex in front of Shika. Women always wanted their man to be the only one, even though in this world, many men had more than two women.
Salin didn't want to praise Rex in front of Shika, let alone belittle her. He really didn't know what to say when Shika asked him to talk.
"Salin, if we fall and lose everything, will Rex continue to follow us?" Shika asked in Salin's arms.
"Yes."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Rex is the daughter of Great Emperor Chanak. Great Emperor Chanak gave her a boy's name, which means she's destined to have few friends. Other than us, who would want to treat her as an equal? "
"Humph, let's not say we fall. Just in case, just in case, we can't defeat the Vatican and have to escape from the Myers Continent, sail out to the sea, and find land in the East Sea to survive. If that happens, will Rex give up her kingdom and her nobility?"
Salin thought for a while and said, "I don't know, Shika. Rex is not like you. You are very simple and know what you want. She has too many burdens and wants too many things. "
"So, I treat you better than she treats you, right?"
Salin fell silent again. Although the marriage between him and Rex was a little urgent, and even a political marriage, he understood Rex's feelings. Other than him, Rex couldn't choose anyone else. She didn't have time to talk about feelings. The only time she had was in the Hell of God's Punishment, with Salin.
That was the warmth in Rex's life. Even if there was no future, recalling this past would still make Rex feel comforted.
"Well, needless to say, I know what you are thinking. Salin, you really don't know how to coax people. "
Salin didn't stay silent this time. He said seriously, "Shika, because you are the best. Other than me, you only care about limited things. "
"That's finally a little better. So, you can't marry a mage. Even comforting words are rare."
Salin smiled. No matter how powerful Shika was, she was still a woman. He lowered his head and blew into Shika's ear. Shika shrank her neck and said, "What?"
"I can't help it." Salin tried to make his voice not sound so lustful, but he felt a little embarrassed. In such a place, saying such words.
"You are their lord!"
"The Cloud Walking Spell can be controlled. No one can see the mist I release."
"Shameful, Salin. If you dare to share your perception with Neris, I will smash her into a meat pie!" Shika said fiercely, but relaxed.
Salin was overjoyed and said, "No need. At most, I will have to work harder and continue to steer the ship!"
"Salin, why do you want me so much all of a sudden? Could it be the aftereffects of the prophecy spell? "Although Shika was tempted, she suddenly became alert at this time.
"It's a little related. But the disaster I should have suffered was taken by the Destiny Puppet. This world is balanced, so my own power is strengthened. You don't know, but recently I am so energetic that I can't sleep. Even if I don't meditate, my spiritual power recovers ridiculously fast. " Salin said with some annoyance. As he spoke, he gently stretched his hand to Shika's waist. Shika's armor was personally made by him. He only needed to press his finger on the belt, and Shika's armor fell off and retracted into the belt.
Shika chuckled. "Salin, I suspect that you made the armor for me back then just for today."
"Maybe." Salin answered vaguely. Recently, he was too energetic, but it was uncomfortable. He felt like his blood vessels were about to explode. His power was increasing, but he didn't increase his magic string. Salin even had an illusion that if he practiced swordsmanship now, he could immediately become a Black Iron Blademaster.
