Third Update.
"This god protected his God Kingdom firmly. The people in the God Kingdom worshipped him. This god quickly advanced from a low-level god to a high-level god. His God Kingdom was also expanding. Every day, he drove the Sun Chariot across the sky above the God Kingdom, looking down at the land he protected … "
Jason's voice could still be heard clearly in the thunder. Shika and Neris were listening carefully. However, Salin heard a hint of coldness in his words.
"Did he give up the God Kingdom in the end?"
"No. He had six sons left. These six sons were false gods when they were born. His God Kingdom continued to expand. Soon, he would advance to the main god level and become a level-18 god. Not many people in this crystal wall system could destroy his God Kingdom. However, he loved his sons too much. "
Jason looked at the city below and said in a voice colder than the rain, "The Sun God's youngest son had the weakest divine power, but he was also the smartest. It would take hundreds of thousands of years for the descendants of gods to grow up. This youngest son always wanted to drive his father's Sun Chariot and patrol the God Kingdom. The Sun God rejected his son's request because patrolling the God Kingdom was a responsibility, not a game. The Sun Chariot was not something a false god could drive. "
"His youngest son must have gotten into trouble."
"Yes. One day, the Sun God's youngest son secretly stole the Sun Chariot from the temple and drove it across the sky above the God Kingdom. The Sun Chariot was a high-level god's divine weapon. The high temperature hurt the Sun God's son. The six fire dragons that pulled the chariot lost control, and the Sun Chariot fell on the God Kingdom. The entire God Kingdom was burning, just like the one below. "
"What about the Sun God? Why didn't he take back the chariot? "
"His son was still in the Sun Chariot. The Sun God wanted to save his son and used all his divine power to protect him. The flames of the Sun Chariot even burned out of the God Kingdom and through the two nearby planes. "
Salin listened quietly to his teacher's story. He heard Jason say, "The Sun God loves his people, and he loves his son. The creatures that believed in him did not know why, but the Sun God wanted to unleash his fury and destroy the Divine Nation. In fact, it was just a disaster caused by a young god. "
"Since these people are Grand Duke Pang Pei's people, they can't be said to be innocent in the destruction of Grand Duke Pang Pei."
"I understand, teacher." Salin secretly swore to himself that he had to protect Metatlin City. There were so many people who followed him. If he died, these people's fates would probably be similar to those in Pompei City.
"Hmm, even so, I don't agree with the Elemental Hand's actions. Alchemy City's current strength is still the top force on this continent. They would not be at a disadvantage even if they were to directly confront the Church. For them to do this to you and sacrifice the lives of the entire city, they really have no morals. "
Jason rarely used the word 'morality'. Looking at Salin's doubtful expression, Jason continued, "Salin, mages don't need to follow any country's laws, but it doesn't mean that mages have no bottom line. What you did in the past was done as a king, so I won't say anything about it. But don't be infatuated with killing. "
Salin felt as if cold water had been poured over him. His teacher's words were a warning for what he had done.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm saying that you shouldn't admit to what happened here. If Alchemy City wants to frame you, they can publicize the scene you recorded with the crystal today."
"What if they don't do that?"
"Hehe, since the Elemental Hand has already started these things, they will definitely not stop. You just have to wait patiently. "
Salin and his teacher chatted on the back of the Soul Beast. In the center of the ancient city of Pompei, a 700-mile crack had already appeared, dividing the city into east and west. The Elemental Magic Tower was still in the east of Pompei City. Salin didn't put it away. He wanted to see how strong the Elemental Magic Tower could withstand.
There were blazing flames everywhere. Pompei City was burning in the heavy rain. The rain got heavier and heavier, but it could not extinguish the disaster caused by the elements. When the magma first erupted, it also sprayed countless poisonous dust and gases. The dust and gases were brought back to the ground by the rain, burned by the flames, and spread throughout the ruins of the city.
The Elemental Magic Tower was outside the range of the explosion. When the flames came, the Elemental Magic Tower did not move. Flames with a temperature that could be used to craft equipment were attached to the Elemental Magic Tower, burning continuously. The level-18 elemental stones did not even increase in temperature. The mages in the Magic Tower did not care about this situation.
The cracked ancient city of Pompei shook a few more times. More magma sprayed out from the ground, but this time, it only sprayed a few dozen meters high and flowed out of the crack on both sides.
Salin watched the tragic scene while recording the process with the crystal. His teacher was right. If he did not do it, there was no need to admit it. As for how to deal with Alchemy City, Salin had not thought about it yet. He said to Jason, "Teacher, I want to contact the Iron Blood Duke. He seems to be very interested in conquering the continent, but he is an enemy of Alchemy City. He will not ally with Alchemy City."
"Sure. You can make your own decision about this. What you want, just be clear with yourself. Don't deviate from the direction of your life. "
"It seems like there are no living people?" Neris looked around. Salin did not share his senses with her, so she could not see the edge of the city.
"Yes, Sid, there are a few mages who are not dead." Salin pointed to the east side of the city. Behind the Elemental Magic Tower, there were a few mages from Pompei City hiding under the Elemental Magic Tower. They were not killed by the first wave of elemental impact. After that, they could defend without being burned by the flames on one side.
Sid let the Soul Beast fly above the Elemental Magic Tower. Salin said to the people below, "Let them in."
Hearing this, the mages in the Elemental Magic Tower opened a door and let the six mages from Pompei City into the Elemental Magic Tower. The six mages did not care about being enemies with Salin. They quickly entered through the door and sat down on the ground in exhaustion.
The Soul Beast flew high again, into the clouds. In the thunderstorm, Salin observed the cracked ancient city of Pompei. Most of the buildings in the city were destroyed, and the rest were twisted or melted. Salin kept calculating, and finally said to Jason, "Teacher, the magma here does not seem to change the pressure under the ground?"
"Yes, the Elemental Hand cannot control everything. This is not a place where such a disaster should have happened. Look … "
Jason pointed at the seven-mile-long crack. "The pressure below has disappeared, and the magma lake has sunk into the depths of the earth. There can only be one eruption this time."
Salin understood immediately. "I can rebuild Pompei City!"
Pompei City had been destroyed in war a few times, but it was rebuilt every time. Because this place was geographically important, the mountains behind it were not steep and led to the territory of the nobles in the southwest. To the east of Pompei City was the Grand Canal that ran through Qinyin. This Grand Canal made it very convenient for goods to come and go. It was ten times faster than land transportation.
To the south of Pompei City, there was a big river that flowed into the sea and went straight to Alchemy City.
The area controlled by Pompei City was rich in land and stable in rivers that never flooded. The seasons were clear here, and the winter was not too cold. Pompei City was built on a crack in the mountains, and there were steep roads in front and behind it. Pompei City was an important place to connect the east and west. Otherwise, they would have to travel by water.
There were iron locks on the water, and Salin could rebuild it into an even more difficult pass at any time.
Such a good place, if it could be rebuilt, would be completely Salin's. Grand Duke Pompei was not killed by Salin. He did not even kill Kang Bai. He only broke his limbs and froze them.
"Well, your strength was scattered and not good for defense, but the future war has nothing to do with ordinary people. Professionals below Level Seven can only be treated as ordinary soldiers," Jason said to Salin.
"Teacher, let's go. We need a lot of materials to rebuild this place. Let's go to the Abyss King City."
"Well, bring the Mages you saved back to Metatlin City. I'll subdue them. Save some people in the city and take them all with you. In the future, Alchemy City will frame people, and they will all be witnesses. "
"Master, I'll go." As she spoke, Nelis left Isabella on the back of the Soul Beast and flew down to search the city. The temperature in Pompei City had finally dropped a little. It was only hotter than some places in the Demonic Plane, and Nelis was not afraid of this poisonous environment.
The six rescued Mages were on the first floor of the Elemental Magic Tower, feeling uneasy. They did not know what was going to happen to them, and they did not know why the enemy, Salin, had saved them.
Jason returned to the seventeenth floor of the Magic Tower. Salin walked down alone and came to the first floor. It looked like a wide courtyard with metal flowers and plants. However, the Mages were not of high levels, and they could not tell that these plants were derived from the core of Sky City.
In the courtyard made of metal, Salin looked at the six Pompei Mages and said, "Are you the Grand Duke's followers?"
"No, but the Grand Duke provided for us for twenty years." The leading Mage was also Level Seven, and he had not just advanced. He was about to become a Level Eight Magic Shooter. Salin glanced at him. This Mage had a solid foundation, and he could be considered a useful person.
"I didn't kill the Grand Duke, and I didn't destroy this city. But if you want to take revenge, I'm afraid you can't do it. Alchemy City completely destroyed Pompei City. Look, "Salin said, and directly released the image in the crystal for the Mages to see.
"Your Highness Salin, are you planning to take us in?" the leading Mage asked tentatively.
"Yes, go to Metatlin. I can only guarantee your safety, but if you want to take revenge for the Grand Duke, it is impossible. I have my own plan, and I will take it step by step. "
