[First Update]
The main reason Salin came to the temple was to demolish all the temples and not let others take the luck of the Goddess. Salin was not too interested in the secrets of the temples. It was fine as long as others could not get help from the temples.
So Salin immediately took drastic measures. The layout of this temple was arranged in a straight line from the first to the 24th temple. The best things would be placed in the last temple.
There were roads on both sides of the temple. Salin led the others to the last temple at high speed on the road on the left. This road was perfectly straight. On both sides of the road were some stone sculptures arranged very closely. The stone sculptures were basically the creatures that the Goddess liked to keep. There were no human figures.
Salin flew close to the ground. His feet were less than a meter off the ground. His body was wrapped in mist. This time, the mist had a shape and wrapped the people behind him. In front of Salin were four Wind Dragons opening the way.
Wind Dragon was a level-eight spell. In other words, to practice Wind Dragon, one had to be at least a level-eight Magic Shooter. Two Wind Dragons had already filled the road. If Agares wanted to intercept them on the road, he had to first break the Wind Dragon. This Wind Dragon was not created by Salin, but by the Wind Elemental creature in his badge. There was no need to mention its endurance. Unless the Gale Dragon died, the Wind Dragon would continue to circulate.
The demonic insects were still invading the halls one by one, filling up every place they passed. The entire road was more than ten miles long, but Salin's flying speed was too fast. In less than two minutes, he had reached the last palace.
The 24th temple was no different from the previous ones. It had tall pillars, stairs, and a wide door. Salin stopped using the Cloud Walk spell and led everyone up the stairs. He glanced into the main hall.
There was something on the altar in this temple!
Salin had been to a few temples. Apart from the underwater temple he saw in the Scotia North Sea last time, nothing had appeared on the altar. And in the underwater temple, the believers who had betrayed the Goddess were imprisoned on the altar.
However, the altar in this hall was filled with equipment.
Salin came to the altar and walked up the stairs. Shika and Nelis followed closely, weapons in their hands ready to attack at any time. Salin's gaze was fixed on the equipment, his Elemental Eye analyzing it carefully.
It was a strange set of magical equipment. In the middle of it was something that looked like a puppet. It was about five meters tall. The interior of the puppet clearly had seats for humans, and the inner walls were engraved with magic patterns.
Salin did not understand the mysteries of the mageweath, but he could see that the material of this puppet that could carry humans was very precious. Salin's Elemental Eye analyzed the rest of the metal weapons of different sizes, which all corresponded to this puppet. In other words, the eighteen weapons and equipment on the altar were all for the puppet.
Salin couldn't understand the puppet's secrets, so he decided not to think about it. He took out his Dimensional Stone and stored all the equipment on the altar into it. Even if there was something wrong with the puppet, it couldn't destroy the internal structure of the Dimension Stone.
After collecting the puppet equipment, Salin scanned the interior of the hall. The interior of the hall was similar to the one Salin had entered for the first time. It was excessively spacious, and there were some smaller rooms at the back.
"Let's do it. Sue, Trish, and Neris, block the door."
As Salin spoke, he summoned the Ancient Puppet and began to dismantle the house from the inside of the hall. Because it was not the first time he did this, Salin controlled the puppet, and Shika commanded the demons that Neris released. Like locusts, they dismantled everything in the hall in the blink of an eye. Even the stone-paved floor was not spared.
No matter what Agares was looking for in the hall, Salin first dismantled the last hall to ensure that Agares could not take away the most important thing. There might be materials and equipment that Salin did not recognize in the hall, but Salin did not need to choose. He had enough people to move them. He just had to take everything away.
There would never be any secret passages in the hall. Everything in the hall was laid out in the open by the Goddess. This was not a test. The real test was how to find the entrance of the same path.
After dismantling the last hall, Salin immediately led his people to the twenty-third hall. Just like that, he dismantled the halls one by one. After dismantling twelve halls, he still did not find Agares. However, except for the last three halls that had equipment on the altars, the other halls were empty.
Salin found a lot of alchemy materials in the hall connected to the space passage in the belly of the big fish. These materials were no worse than what the Grandmaster had thrown at him. In fact, they were even better. However, Salin was able to obtain these materials completely because he did not play by the rules. He simply dismantled the hall and moved it into the dimensional stone. Even the Goddess did not expect this.
Salin used an extremely short time to dismantle half of the hall. This made Agares, who was hiding in the dark, very depressed. All of his tricks could not be used. The demonic insects that Salin released filled the hall in front of him. It became extremely difficult for him to set up an ambush.
These demonic insects could not fly and could not hurt him. However, if he killed them, Salin and the others would immediately sense his specific location. Any ambush would be exposed, which made Agares even more interested in Salin.
He would forget that he did not get Rex in the blink of an eye. For Agares, this was not a grudge. Although it was not easy to find a woman whose quality was better than Rex's, there were still many people on the continent who could inherit the bloodline.
Agares did not care much about his bloodline. At most, he would let his brother do things like changing lands and carrying on the bloodline. What he cared about was the improvement of his strength. He had chosen to be an assassin, but advancing after level-ten was still extremely difficult. There was no way to compete with the speed of advancement of mages.
Unless he could find the inheritance of an assassin, an inheritance above level-ten.
The assassin profession on the continent had already declined. It was a true decline, unlike mages, who could still find a lot of notes from their predecessors. Even without the guidance of a teacher, they could continue to advance.
If Agares wanted to advance now, he could only rely on himself to create a path. Compared to learning, creation could allow an assassin to achieve higher achievements. The problem was that an assassin's lifespan after advancing to level-ten was only a few hundred years, which was incomparable to that of a mage. Agares had nearly ten times less time than Salin.
If he could not advance to level-eleven, Agares would age rapidly.
Assassins had too many skills that burned their life to obtain powerful attacks, just like Eleanor's Elven Life Arrow. Before Agares advanced, he had used such a skill once. After advancing to level-ten, his lifespan was only slightly more than three hundred years, which was half that of a normal assassin.
Fortunately, he did not return empty-handed this time. In the belly of the big fish, Agares had also obtained the special metal he wanted, which could be used to forge equipment for assassins. In the main hall, he had arrived one step ahead of Salin. He was satisfied after collecting the inventory of the previous few temples.
After all, he could not open this strange space passage by himself. The Blessing Ring he had obtained was of a much lower level than Salin's, and without the help of the power of faith, he could not open an extremely unstable space passage.
Salin dismantled twelve temples in a row, but did not see Agares. He had an idea. Using a magic skill, he shouted, "Your Majesty Agares, why don't you come out and let's talk?"
As he spoke, his subordinates swarmed forward to dismantle the twelfth temple from the front.
Blocked by the magical insects, Agares could not enter the warehouse of each temple. He could only watch as Salin collected materials and dismantled the houses. If he launched a sneak attack, he could still cause fatal damage to Salin, but in a head-on battle, he was very afraid of the two women beside Salin.
In the square in front of the twelfth temple, a shadow gradually appeared. Salin glanced at it, but it was a phantom. This phantom actually had a level-nine attack, which made Salin's view of Agares change a lot.
This emperor was really powerful. If he wanted to create a magic phantom, he could at most reach the level of a level-seven Magic Shooter.
An assassin's phantom had the strength of a level-nine expert, and the real body was a level-ten expert. The cooperation between the two could reach the highest level. Agares' strength was higher than he had imagined. Salin was not afraid. In his star pattern suit, there were twenty-four powerful spells. If he encountered the Chief Inquisitor again, he would have the power to fight alone.
However, to store all twenty-four star maps with level-eleven spells, it would take a lot of time for a level-ten Magician. If Salin wanted to complete it, he would have to return to Metatlin City to ask his teacher for help. Salin did not want to waste it on this assassin.
Agares's phantom looked up at Salin on the steps from the square and said, "Your Highness Salin, I heard that you are from Scochenya. Do you want to make a deal with me?"
Agares's words were obviously sarcastic, mocking Salin's origin.
Salin did not mind. The Cloud Flow people were like this. If you were angry about this, His Majesty Downey would probably commit suicide.
"No, Your Highness Agares, I'm just curious. The Cloud Flow Empire claims to be the descendant of the fourth royal city. Why would they sign an alliance with the Vatican? When the four empires were first established, I remember that the Scochenya people colluded with the Vatican. Cloud Flow and Qin Yin were determined to resist. "
Agares's phantom laughed. This time, Salin felt that there was a soul projection in Agares's phantom. In other words, this was not a simple phantom, but a real level-nine assassin who could instantly burst out with a level-ten attack.
"Your Highness Salin, I am only an emperor. You said that I am a descendant of the fourth dynasty. The fourth dynasty did not collapse because of the Vatican. To be honest, I can't control the southern nobles in the empire. They want to collude with the Vatican, and my opposition is useless. "
