[Second Update]
"So, as the emperor, you can only manage your own palace?" Salin knew that everyone had a bottom line, so he probed Agares.
"What's there to manage with a bunch of sycophants? Your Highness Salin, just tell me what you want to talk to me about. "Agares said in a disdainful tone.
"I don't even know what to talk about," Salin said helplessly.
"Let's talk about cooperation."
"Cooperation with the Cloud Empire?"
Agares' phantom laughed again and said to Salin, "Your Highness Salin, as a Scottinyan, you have the superiority of the Qin people. Isn't that ironic?"
"How did you find this place?" Salin asked casually. He didn't expect Agares to really answer him.
"It's like this. After all, the Cloud Empire is indeed a descendant of the Fourth Dynasty. There's so much information in the palace that I can't even count them all. Only mages can memorize them. I read a lot of information as stories when I was young, until one day, I got this thing. "
Agares' phantom raised his hand, and on his finger was a Ring of Blessing.
"Then, Your Highness Salin, how did you find this place?" Agares answered Salin's question and asked back.
"I don't really want to say," Salin replied with a smile.
"That's not a big deal. When I entered the last temple, I successfully advanced to level 10. Your achievements today must have something to do with the temple. Goddess Myers is really an interesting god, much more interesting than the God of Light. "
Salin was silent. This was Agares' casual speculation, but it was more or less the truth of his rise.
"I speculate that Goddess Myers should have left behind 24 temples, and in each temple, the wealth left behind is different. I want to find the temple left for assassins. As for you, Your Highness Salin, you should have already obtained the temple for mages, right?"
Salin became vigilant. What Agares said next made Salin feel indescribable, but he wasn't angry.
"Your Highness Salin, cooperate with me and explore all the temple ruins. If you don't agree, I'll sell all the information I know to the temple. Anyway, I just want to obtain the inheritance of assassins. Nothing else matters. "
It was an undisguised threat, and it was done in an almost shameless manner. If the one who said this was not the Cloud Flow Emperor, Salin would have thought it was normal, but Agares did not seem to care about the interests of the Cloud Flow Empire at all.
Seeing that Salin was silent, Agares said, "You're a Magician. If we sign a contract, it'll be very safe. Don't worry, I won't ambush you again."
"All professions are equally powerful in the end. Your Majesty, do you want to have a fair battle with me? "
"No, Your Highness Salin, you've misunderstood. I'm not interested in a duel. I just want to advance to the highest plane and become an existence like the ancient humans. The strongest assassin of the First Dynasty has a divine weapon made from the divinity of a god. That's my dream. "
Salin did not believe Agares's nonsense. Agares really did not want to be enemies with him. But he was a Mage and was the best touchstone for Agares' skills. Even if Agares didn't want to kill him, he would find an opportunity to test his skills on him. Working with Agares was far more dangerous than working with Carrie.
But Salin said, "How do we work together?"
According to Salin's calculations, there were at least three more temples in the Cloud Flow Empire. If Agares knew the locations of these temples but could not open them, he could really negotiate with the Holy See. If the Holy See intervened in this matter, it would be difficult to carry out his plan to destroy all the temples.
Just the materials and equipment obtained from this temple were enough for Salin to go back and re-arm the army of the temple, and all of them. The 300,000 troops in the plan could be equipped with all the magic armor, all the magic scrolls and magic cores of Mages, and a corresponding amount of large-scale equipment, magic furnaces, and so on. The wealth in this temple was unimaginable.
Salin decided not to let go of any of the other temples. After all, there was too much wealth in this temple.
The 300,000 troops of the temple were mostly elite demons, and the materials they consumed were more than ten times that of ordinary humans. In other words, the things plundered from this temple could be used to arm millions of human soldiers.
It seemed that this temple was left for a human general.
"We'll sign two contracts. One is to jointly develop these temples, and I only want the equipment and materials of the temple related to the assassin. No matter how advanced the equipment and materials are, you can't go back on your word. I have two deputies and twelve servants by my side. You can't hurt these people, and you can choose fourteen people by your side. I definitely won't touch them. "
Salin knew that Agares must know something. The assassin's equipment was probably extremely powerful. But Salin had the Elemental Magic Tower, and he didn't think there was anything stronger than this equipment.
"What about the second contract?"
"Your Highness Salin, I want to make a bet with you."
"Bet on a contract?" Salin was a little interested. He wanted to know what Agares was betting on.
"Let's have a ten year agreement and compete to see who can kill Dinicio." Agares' proposed method of competition tempted Salin. He had to kill Dinicio, and if Agares joined in, the possibility of Dinicio being killed would be much higher.
"What's the bet?"
"Whoever loses will kill a designated target for the other party." As an assassin, Agares was very murderous. Moreover, it was best for his skills to be honed in battle, which was different from Mages.
"What if the bet can't be fulfilled?" Salin asked carefully because he wanted to make this bet.
"I think you wouldn't care even if I were to use my life as a wager. How about this, the bet has to be fulfilled within a hundred years. If it can't be fulfilled, the loser has to serve the other party for a hundred years. "
"Service?"
"Slave contract." Agares' phantom smiled.
Salin laughed and said to Agares, "Your Majesty, what if we can't kill Dinicio?"
"If we can't kill him in ten years, we'll just commit suicide." Agares' words were very conceited. Salin didn't find it harsh. If a level-ten assassin planned for ten years to deal with one person, the chances of success were very high. On his side, the number of level-ten powerhouses was starting to increase. Perhaps in three to five years, Su would also advance.
"But to be a slave for a hundred years, you have to prove that your value is equal to mine. Agares, come out. Let's fight face to face. Let's see if you're worth the price. "
"I'm an assassin. Why would I fight you face to face, Your Highness Salin? Are all Mages so boring?"
Salin couldn't find any rebuttal. He wasn't afraid of fighting Agares head-on. Crystal Finger, Eye of Lightning, Thunderclap, and other skills were all very powerful close combat skills. Salin's Crystal Finger was more terrifying than any assassin's all-out attack.
"Why, Your Highness Salin, you don't dare?" Agares' tone was frivolous.
Salin seemed to wake up from a dream. Unknowingly, he had been tempted by Agares. Agares knew that he and the Pope were mortal enemies. There was no room for reconciliation. So he set up a trap and waited for Salin to jump in.
It would be much easier for Agares to kill Dinicio than for him. At least, with Agares' status, he could meet the Pope personally. If he wanted to kill Dinicio, he would have to spend a lot of effort to get close to him. This wasn't a fair gamble at all. It would be meaningless for him to rack his brains to make the bet fair.
"Agares, if you want something, you have to pay the same price. You should find someone else to handle the gambling. "
Agares didn't expect Salin to see through his tricks. Even Dinicio couldn't tempt him. It seemed that he had underestimated Salin. Unfortunately, he couldn't get such a good prey.
A slave for a hundred years, heh!
"Let's use our own means to deal with the Temple." Salin's aura became resolute. Then he said, "I've already had the Magic Insects block the space passage. If you don't leave, don't even think about leaving."
By the time Salin finished speaking, the ground of the twelfth hall had been stripped clean. Salin led his men down the stairs. The assassin phantom on the square disappeared without a trace.
Agares didn't want to lose this assassin phantom. It would take half a month to create one. Besides, this wasn't a magic skill. Agares could only create one assassin phantom. Unless this phantom disappeared, there was no way to create a second one.
The negotiations broke down. Salin realized that Agares had long wanted to deal with the Vatican, and this assassin probably had the ability to invalidate contracts. If he really bet with him, he wouldn't succeed. After seeing the Fear Angel with a companion soul, Salin wasn't very confident in the contract.
If Agares had two souls in his body, it wouldn't be a problem for him to act shamelessly.
In any case, this shouldn't affect his will. In the past, he was too good at compromising, which was useless for growth. Jason had already pointed out the way for him. There was no need for him to resort to trickery, especially when cooperating with someone like Agares.
He was afraid that once the contract was signed, Rex would be unhappy. Once Salin thought it through, he knew how sinister Agares was.
An assassin would exploit all the enemy's weaknesses to attack.
Salin remembered that many mages had left such words in the magic notes he had read. He couldn't help but feel horrified. If Agares lost and became a slave by his side, and he wasn't restricted by the contract, the chances of him being assassinated were almost 90%.
This was a serial trap. As long as he took the first step, he wouldn't be able to turn it around!
"Continue to demolish!" Salin directed the puppets and began to attack the eleventh hall. Agares wasn't in the hall. He didn't know where he was hiding. Salin wasn't worried. Agares didn't have the confidence to kill him directly, so he came up with other means. If he had the confidence, he would probably act immediately, right?
