[Sorry for the late update. Old D went for a walk today. It was raining, so he spent the day in the supermarket bookstore. He was engrossed in reading.]
When Deep Blue entered the True Martial Plane, 12 pupils appeared in his eyes. His life-saving skill was related to these pupils. During the advancement, Deep Blue gave up a portion of his life to recover the skill.
When he fought Zola, he relied on this skill to heavily injure Zola, whose swordsmanship was above his.
The red-robed Level-10 Mage was quite young. He followed behind the Ironblood Duke. When he saw Metatlin City, he said, "Uncle, this Metatlin is indeed extraordinary. Even something like Sequence Dante can be used on the city walls. "
The Ironblood Duke was very fond of his nephew. This wasn't the time to talk, so he asked, "Why, is it difficult?"
"The difficulty lies in manpower and resources. Many Mages are needed to finally accomplish this. Metatlin City is probably close to Alchemy City in power. "
"Hehe, that makes sense." Behind the young mage, the sound of metal shattering could be heard from a large carriage.
"Master!"
"Duke, don't worry. I'm here to sign an alliance. No matter how good this Metatlin City is, it's not what I want. What I want is Alchemy City. The Elemental Hand suppressed me for more than a hundred years, and I wasted so much time … "Inpos suddenly stopped.
"Thank you, master." The Ironblood Duke was finally relieved. Inpos' strength made him wary, and he was also afraid that this Mage would suddenly turn hostile. With Inpos, he didn't have to worry about equipment. Although his nephew advanced after hard training, his alchemy skills were still lacking.
"Duke, you're too kind. We can't participate in the affairs of Daliang City, and Alchemy City has benefited a lot for nothing. I don't think Salin and Alchemy City can coexist. Forming an alliance is also good for me. "
As they spoke, Salin had already come out of the city to welcome them.
Salin was all smiles and dressed up to welcome them. The Ironblood Duke also greeted them with a big smile, as if there was no animosity between them.
"Duke, welcome to Metatlin City!" Salin wasn't afraid of the duke. The duke was a True Martial Arts cultivator, and the distance between them was no more than three meters. The two of them rode side by side, almost crossing each other's arms.
The Duke also admired Salin's courage. After all, Salin was a Rank 10 Mage. Even if he had a special secret technique, his body was only at the level of a Black Iron Sacred Blademaster. Against a Black Iron Sword Saint at the tenth level of True Martial, there was nothing he could do within three meters of him.
Salin's actions could be said to be extremely bold and sincere. The Ironblood Grand Duke felt much better.
He said to Salin, "Your Highness, before we …"
"We were enemies before, so it's only right that we attack!" Salin said bluntly.
"That's good. Then, Your Highness, please lead the way." The Grand Duke saw that Salin was different from the rumors. He handled matters decisively, and even the older nobles couldn't compare.
Salin looked back and nodded at Impos' car. In the car, Impos looked at Salin in surprise. This young Mage's power had increased again!
However, this was normal. In Impos' eyes, Salin was an absolute genius.
'Genius Wizards aren't necessarily people who can increase their Magic String power very quickly. Instead, they must have a fortuitous encounter and be able to control all of their luck.' One had to know that a Mage could do countless magic experiments, and more than half of them depended on luck whether or not they succeeded.
Salin, this Mage, was really lucky. Impos was envious. He opened the curtain and nodded at Salin.
The team entered Metatlin City, and Salin took the Ironblood Grand Duke directly to his palace. However, he didn't arrange for the nobles to meet him. Instead, he let the Ironblood Grand Duke's men stay, and the thousand-strong caravan was arranged by the city hall to the west of the city.
The Ironblood Grand Duke was a Level-Ten True Martial and didn't need much rest. Salin waited for the Duke's men to settle in, then took his followers and began to discuss the covenant with the Grand Duke in the palace.
The negotiation was quite easy, and Salin and the Ironblood Grand Duke exchanged views on the situation in Qinyin. The two sides didn't even have any differences on the division of power. Salin wouldn't attack Qinyin for the time being, unless Emperor Qinyin died and Prince Sephiroth ascended to the throne.
Salin demanded that the west of Guderian City to the beginning of the canal belong to Salin, while the Ironblood Grand Duke was responsible for attacking the land of Qinyin east of the canal.
Although the two sides didn't form an offensive and defensive alliance, when the other side used troops, the other side had the obligation to cooperate. For example, mobilizing troops and exerting a certain amount of pressure on the enemy.
According to the principle of non-aggression, the two sides divided the territory of Qinyin in detail on the magic map. Salin wanted the west of the canal, while the Ironblood Grand Duke wanted the east.
In addition, the two sides also discussed how to divide the Cloud Flow Empire.
The Ironblood Grand Duke wanted Salin to control the Li Sea and the Titan Duchy, while the Ironblood Grand Duke wanted the east of the Cloud Flow Empire and most of the coastal cities. Salin didn't have any objections, but the second part of the plan to divide the Cloud Flow Empire had to combine forces to deal with the Church.
This part of the covenant was the most detailed, because in order to control Cloud Flow, they had to face the Tanggulas Empire from the north.
After discussion, the two sides agreed that the Church's power couldn't be eliminated in a short period of time, so the battle line could be set south of the Red River. Most importantly, the Ironblood Grand Duke wanted Salin to mobilize the ancient battleship and attack Black Prison Island with his own.
This was where the disagreement was. Salin wanted to pacify the Scotia Empire first.
The Ironblood Grand Duke said to Salin, "The Tanggulas Empire is strong on the outside, but weak on the inside. It's easier to deal with than Scotia. The Scotia Empire is hard to conquer, because as long as we give them benefits, they will betray us at any time. "
Salin also knew this characteristic of the Scotia Empire, but he said to the Ironblood Grand Duke, "Scotia is my hometown. Tilan City is now under my control, and the Church can't go north. As long as we build a large base around Tilan City, we can attack Black Prison Island from both sides.
The Ironblood Grand Duke wasn't willing to attack Scotia for Salin, because Scotia was Salin's home country. The Ironblood Grand Duke also knew that Salin would probably take the entire country, and he would have to give it to the Tanggulas Empire.
The two sides argued about this for a long time before Salin said, "The value of the Tanggulas Empire is far above Scotia. If not for the Church controlling the empire, Tanggulas Empire would not be as poor as it is now with abundant resources and a climate similar to Qinyin. You will gain much more from taking down Tanggulas than me. “
Seeing that the Ironblood Grand Duke wasn't moved, Salin said, "You should know that I don't need any country in the end. I'm a mage, just like Inpos. My ultimate goal is to explore the mysteries of magic. However, the Church and I will not rest until one of us is dead. That's why I created a country to destroy the Church with the power of the country! "
The Ironblood Grand Duke seemed to be moved by Salin's words. After a while, he said, "My family has been around for thousands of years, and we also have a deep grudge against the Church. How about this, our alliance ends here. Before the Church is destroyed, we will not attack each other. We can decide which one to fight first, Tanggulas or Scotia, after we settle the other places. With the power of Holy Rock City, this might take a few hundred years. "
"Alright, how about this, this alliance will last for a hundred years. After a hundred years, whether or not we form an alliance will depend on each other." Salin also knew that the Ironblood Grand Duke wouldn't split the entire continent with him. He wanted everything. Forming an alliance with him now was also a last resort. Salin's navy was very strong, and the Ironblood Grand Duke would have to ask for his permission if he wanted to use the navy to fight.
"Alright, a hundred years it is. Your Highness Salin, you can ask the mages to come out and write the alliance. "
Salin nodded. He called over ten mages to organize the contents of the negotiations and write them onto contract scrolls. These contracts were very strict. After they were finished, Salin and the Ironblood Grand Duke had their mages read them again. After confirming that there were no magic traps, the two sides signed the hundred-year alliance.
After the alliance was set, Salin wouldn't mention being attacked by the Ironblood Grand Duke, and the Ironblood Grand Duke wouldn't mention that Salin had taken an ancient warship.
Salin finally felt much safer. After all, the Ironblood Grand Duke was a Level Ten True Warrior, and the two sides were very close to each other. If he didn't have the Destiny Puppet, he wouldn't have dared to be so careless. If the Ironblood Grand Duke really wanted to kill someone, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him.
After the alliance was signed, the two sides began to trade.
Salin spoke first, "Duke, before we trade, I have some information to sell you. Do you want to know what Alchemy City bought from me? "
"Your Highness, I trust you. Give me a price." Although they were allies, such an important piece of information had to be purchased with money. The Ironblood Grand Duke didn't care about such a small expense. He knew that Salin would definitely satisfy him.
"I don't lack magic cores or anything. I need a dragon, at least Level Ten." Salin didn't ask for too much. He only wanted a Level Ten dragon.
"Alright, I'll have someone deliver it in half a month," the Ironblood Grand Duke said.
"Yes, Alchemy City's Devil's Horn bought 600 ships of metal ores from me. I can give you a list of the goods. Also, I'll give you a piece of news. It's said that Devil's Horn wants to use these ores to make an impenetrable wall. Master Inpos should know what this is, right? "
"I do." Inpos took the list that Salin had prepared and glanced at it. "Your Highness, the Devil's Horn is lying to you. They don't want to make an impenetrable wall. They want to make a huge warship, a warship even bigger than the ancient one! "
