[Fourth Update]
Salin was helpless. Even if he expanded his domain to the extreme, it would be difficult to deal with this corner of the Sky Castle. If the Sky Castle could be destroyed so easily, it would not be one of the greatest achievements of ancient humans.
Not to mention that he was a level-10 Mage, even a fake god would not be able to forcefully bombard the Sky Castle. Water Flame Alchemy might have a way to disassemble the parts inside the island, but forcibly disassembling them would not only take too much time, but it would also be impossible to assemble them again.
The three of them used magic illumination and walked step by step to the front of the shrine. Salin saw that the unique style of the shrine did not have any divine text. The pillars of the shrine were covered with magic patterns.
Wasn't this built by Goddess Myers before she fell?
The inside of the shrine was even more different. Salin vaguely felt that it was not a shrine at all, but a palace.
Walking into the main hall, Salin was even more certain of this idea. Although the size of the main hall was the same as the one he had been to before, the internal structure of the main hall did not have an altar or a prayer room.
There were all kinds of houses, covered bridges, artificial lakes, rivers, rockery, gardens …
This was probably built by Goddess Myers before she became a god. Salin recalled the information he had obtained in the Abyss King City. Before Myers became a god, she was a level-18 Mage, the same level as the emperor of the First Dynasty.
Level-18 Mages could also have Sky Castles.
Back then, there was more than one Sky Castle on the Myers Continent, and all the castellans of the Sky Castles were level-18 experts. Later, these level-18 experts went on expeditions to other planes, and even invaded divine kingdoms to capture gods. Sky Castles disappeared with the departure of these experts.
Myers stayed on this continent, so her Sky Castle was definitely not taken away.
There were no blueprints left for the ancient palace. This thing was completely designed by the owner of the palace, and there were not as many rules as there were now. Back then, every building had the participation of Mages, so it was magnificent. Even Astrologers sometimes liked the exquisite designs of Mages.
Fortunately, this magic palace had lost all power, and the only thing left was the everlasting material. Those magic patterns had lost their source of power and could only be used as decoration.
Salin walked into the main hall. The main entrance of the main hall was a spacious room with tables and chairs. There were also some decorations hanging on the walls. Looking at the layout, it seemed to be a temporary waiting place. There were eighteen chairs, all placed under the window. In front of each chair, there was a separate table.
Before Myers became a God, she was one of the most important figures on the continent. Myers was one of the Sky Castles floating above the continent. This should be Myers' palace before she became a god.
Salin analyzed in his heart as he walked past the halls. Indeed, the layout of this place was like the core of a country. Unfortunately, there were no files or anything like that left behind. Back then, humans had extremely long lifespans, so they didn't even think about what would happen after they died.
Even if the lifespan of a human who could fight against a deity was shorter than that of a deity, it wouldn't be much shorter.
Salin's only gain was that he found out that the bottom of the palace was directly built in the core of the land of Sky Castle. The core of the land, the honeycomb-like structure, can be attached to soil.
This group of palaces was probably the core area that controlled Sky City. Salin saw a huge magic array in a square. The surrounding palaces were different from the ones he had seen before. Some had two floors, some had three floors, and the highest one had nine floors.
On the ninth floor of the palace, even an ordinary person could overlook the entire palace complex.
After walking around for a few hours, Salin didn't find any clues.
"Let's go back." Salin calmed down and said to Daniel and Isabella.
"Go back? Not dismantling the palaces? "
"We can't. Besides, these palaces are different from the temples. If they're dismantled, they'll lose their value. Let's go back and clean up the battlefield. " Salin forcibly restrained the greed in his heart. It would be useless to linger. He had thought of all methods, but unless the earth structure of this Sky Castle was destroyed, it would be impossible to bring a complete part of the land out of this demiplane.
Anyway, this city was relatively unimportant, and no one would know the truth that he would defend this city to the death in the future. Even Agares wouldn't have thought that he wouldn't dismantle the temple, but keep it instead.
Daniel and Isabella didn't care. There were many good things on the ancient battlefield, but it would be troublesome to clean them up. Fortunately, the lord's domain was best for such trivial matters. Among the hundreds of thousands of puppets, more than half were the size of humans, and there were even smaller puppets that could take away all the valuable equipment or materials.
Salin brought the two of them back to the mainland of the demiplane. The fragments of the Sky Castle could only be described as such for now. On the fragments of the Sky Castle, Salin left many traces to determine the coordinates. No matter where this floating island drifted to, as long as it was in this demiplane, Salin would always be able to find it slowly.
Returning to the ancient battlefield, Salin's method was very simple. He expanded the domain to the extreme, and then let the puppets in the domain take away everything, including the blood-stained soil on the battlefield.
Salin didn't let go of even a single arrowhead. This was actually easier. Controlling the domain to fight required more mental strength. The simpler Salin's command was, the less mental strength it would consume.
Moreover, this was the fastest way to plunder the battlefield. There was really nothing on this battlefield that was worthless. For example, a broken saber. Salin saw that it was different from the current weapons. Its entire body was made of a hard material and was abnormally sharp. This metal was usually only used on blades. This broken saber could be taken back and forged into even sharper weapons.
There were also arrowheads. Most of the arrowheads on this battlefield were forged by mages. Salin even saw a few made by astrologers.
Salin originally didn't care much about these materials, but now that he thought about it, if he could create the Sky Castle, he would still need an army. This army could descend to any place on the mainland with the Sky Castle. The current Temple Army should be the prototype of the Sky Castle army.
The equipment of the Temple Army wasn't strong enough. Salin needed to arm an army of at least two hundred thousand people and demons. The materials needed would have to be found from the broken equipment on this ancient battlefield.
Salin spent half a day to clean up everything on the ancient battlefield. He collected a large number of samples, soil, and water. Although there were no living creatures here, it was definitely habitable. The only problem was that it required a lot of energy. Salin stayed in this demiplane for nearly an entire day, but he didn't see any traces of the sun.
If he wanted to plant them, he could only rely on the magic manor or simply plant some plants on the surface of the cave. It was impossible to survive on the surface of the cave. All living creatures were underground, and plants didn't need the sun to grow.
These things could be taken back and analyzed by mages. Then, they would know the energy decay pattern of this demiplane, the flow of time, the length of history, and so on. Finally, they would be able to determine whether this demiplane was on the verge of collapse or still growing.
After Salin felt that he didn't miss anything, he built the prototype of a plane teleportation array. He didn't know how long this teleportation array could exist in the demiplane, and he didn't know if it would be destroyed by the environment. Salin didn't dare to use it directly next time, so he could only leave it as a measure. In case the space tunnel collapsed, he could only use this method to re-enter.
When Salin returned to the metal tower from the space tunnel, Nelis, who was waiting in the space tunnel, asked in surprise, "Master, how did you get back so fast?"
"Let's go back and talk." Salin said as he left the metal tower with the people close to him and took out the Elemental Magic Tower.
After arriving at the seventeenth floor of the Elemental Magic Tower, Salin told his followers what he had seen.
The archer was also listening at the side. At this moment, he didn't hesitate to use the ancient etiquette to kneel before Salin, "Great master, please allow me to become your follower. For this, I am willing to pay the highest price."
Salin glanced at the archer, "Qin Yin, you should know that becoming a follower means that you will not be free for the rest of my life."
"I know, but I am very lost about the future. I hope to receive guidance from the great master. If there is no future, then all freedom is illusory. "
Salin heard the rank 9 archer speak the proverb of mages, and laughed, "So you're saying that you're fully prepared?"
"Yes, great master." Qin Yin didn't get up, and quietly waited for Salin's reply.
"Your rank, your abilities, they've all been reflected in the battle at Port Royal. However, my followers aren't allowed to fight each other. Can you do it, rely on them, never betray them, fight together, and never give up? "
"Yes, great master, I can do it." Qin Yin answered resolutely.
"Can you do it, when I need you, give your all, including your life?"
"Yes, great master, I can do it."
Qin Yin knew that Salin was about to sign a follower's contract, and it was the same contract as Daniel and the others. In the future, his treatment would be the same as Salin's other followers.
Since Salin was willing to follow him, it meant that Salin had decided to invest in him. Salin's lowest wish was to find a way to make him a rank 10 archer.
If there came a day when Salin needed his life, it wouldn't be for him to die immediately, but to carry out an extremely dangerous mission. Such a price was worth paying.
