[The first chapter, the fourth chapter today. The time for double monthly votes is running out. Once everyone has a monthly vote, take advantage of the double and vote quickly. Old D is waiting anxiously.]
Sometimes, killing an enemy didn't require any special weapons. Truman was now looking for trash in the dimensional stones. After Salin had the star ring, there was no shortage of spatial equipment, so he used the dimensional stones less. There were always items in the dimensional stones that weren't cleaned up during the demolition of the shrine.
These items included stone statues without any attributes. These statues weren't worthless. If they were given to some nobles, they would pay a lot of gold coins for them. They were called works of art, but for mages, they were trash.
Truman looked for trash. He threw them down from tens of thousands of meters in the air. He couldn't move stones that weighed thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds, so he wrapped them in wind elements and aimed.
The church on the ground was smashed again. Because the sound was too loud, the screams of the mages were drowned out. The believers couldn't suppress their fear and began to flee.
The mages were helpless as well. They had built a church here for a reason. These believers were just there to deceive others. If they ran away, so be it. At worst, he could just transfer some over from the Empire. But the church was destroyed. Stones and statues kept falling from the sky. Four mages had already been crushed to death. They were only low-level mages and couldn't withstand being thrown from a high altitude.
The church was very large. Truman threw a dozen stones in a row but didn't completely destroy it. Only half of the wall and a bell tower collapsed.
There used to be a Cardinal and guards here, but recently, believers of evil gods had appeared nearby, and the Cardinal had led a group of knights to exterminate them. The surrounding troops had all been borrowed, and the church had become empty. The low-level mages couldn't do anything about the attack from the sky.
More than twenty mages stood in the open space and chanted prayers at the same time. Truman didn't know what magic these mages were going to use. He simply took out a magic fireball and threw it down.
Salin had a lot of magical flame bombs with him. Truman threw hundreds of magic fireballs at once. These magic fireballs exploded in a circle formed by the mages, and the area within a mile radius was set ablaze.
The mages were still chanting prayers in the fire. Unfortunately, the magic fireballs were too poisonous. When the flames sputtered, they burned directly into the bones. High temperature, strong poison, and lack of air. These three attributes quickly made the mages lose the ability to continue praying, and they were burned to death on the ground.
The church was not in the town, but in the countryside. No matter how big the fire was, it would not harm the innocent.
After Truman was done with this, he searched the church again. There was no target worth attacking. The Elemental Magic Tower continued to hover in the sky. Salin and the others wholeheartedly observed the mysteries of thunder and lightning. From time to time, the ball of lightning would enter the Elemental Magic Tower. Salin realized that the ball of lightning did not necessarily have to attack living things. Before it dissipated, it might just be an unnecessary drift.
Salin had already released tens of thousands of puppets, which were burnt to ashes by various kinds of lightning.
Salin did not dare to release the Puppet Star. No matter how strong the equipment was, it could not withstand the power of nature's thunder and lightning. The Elemental Magic Tower was hit by the tree-shaped lightning. Salin was keenly aware that the Elemental Magic Tower had dispersed the attack power of the tree-shaped lightning to every inch of the elemental stones. Some of the lightning energy was also sent into the dimensional stones. The mechanical core of the Sky City also absorbed some of the lightning energy.
After discovering that the mechanical core could absorb energy, Salin observed the large magic furnace again. He found that the large magic furnace could not absorb the dissipated energy. If he sent the ball of lightning in, the effect would probably be different.
Unfortunately, apart from an accident, when Salin used a wind dragon to attract a ball of lightning, he had not succeeded again.
Salin was not discouraged. He was lucky enough. That accidental success made him feel very close to success every time he tried to control the ball of lightning. For a mage, repeated experiments over ten thousand times was not strange. A mage with strong mental power like Salin could do dozens or hundreds of experiments at once. Ten thousand experiments would not waste too much of his life.
The higher the level of a mage, the more obvious this characteristic was. Low-level mages, on the other hand, could only do one or two experiments at a time. Their lives were short, which was why leveling up was extremely difficult.
Before level-seven, it depended on hard work. After level-seven, it depended on talent.
Although Salin did not understand the formation principle of lightning, nor did he know how to control the ball of lightning, the lightning patterns on his Water Pattern Shield were becoming simpler and clearer. Many unnecessary patterns had been removed.
In his eyes, the number of lightning runes increased. He had already transformed three hundred and sixty thousand. The basic size of these lightning runes was only the size of an element. Salin knew that if he completely decomposed the original lightning runes, then the size of the lightning runes could be more than a thousand times smaller than they were now.
If that was the case, he would have to learn three hundred and sixty million lightning runes.
He had never heard of a spell that had more than three hundred and sixty thousand runes. Most spells had around three hundred and sixty to three thousand six hundred runes. The most powerful spell that Salin knew required a total of thirty-six thousand runes. Very few mages were willing to learn such a spell. This was because when learning a new spell, one could not use mental strength to silently guide the magic strings.
A new spell had to start from the beginning. Every syllable of the runes could not be wrong. How long would it take to recite thirty-six thousand runes? How many times would it take to recite them silently?
It was no wonder that even in the ancient times, there were very few people who could repair lightning spells. This kind of spell required a mage to have unparalleled mental strength. If one could conduct tens of thousands of magical experiments at once, then they could learn it at the same speed as normal spells.
Salin was not discouraged. He had obtained Ebola's ring. If he could completely repair it, his mental strength would probably expand to a frightening level. With strong mental strength, it would be possible to cultivate lightning spells.
Furthermore, lightning spells only required strong mental strength when learning them. Once learned, the mental strength needed to use it would at most be ten times that of normal spells. This was equivalent to a mage casting a spell above their level. Even if a mage did not learn lightning spells, they would still have to try.
Salin, Nelis, and Eleanor all had some understanding of lightning spells, so they all fell into endless observation and research. Isabella and Truman had no knowledge of lightning and did not intend to take this path. The two simply observed the ground to see who would come to deal with the ruins of the church.
Time passed quickly. Salin's observation lasted more than ten days. In the blink of an eye, it was December. There was no movement in the ruins. Not a single person from the Vatican appeared. The clouds in the sky gathered for more than ten days before dispersing. Salin once again felt that this land contained all kinds of mysterious forces and substances.
This winter's dark clouds were probably caused by these underground minerals.
The sky and the earth were never separated. The connection between the earth element, wind element, water element, and fire element had always been a mysterious and beautiful topic for mages.
Without the clouds, there was no need for Salin to stay here. The church had been destroyed, so there was no need to find trouble with the Vatican.
Salin then let the Water Puppet control the Magic Tower and continued south. This time, the price of learning was the death of hundreds of Tamed Demons.
Nelis had to summon more Tamed Demons from the Demon God Purgatory to make up for the number of 3,600.
With the delay of the Elemental Magic Tower, Salin simply lowered his flying altitude. He used the Elemental Eyes to look around to see if there was any possibility of finding Agares.
Still nothing. After contacting Great Liang City, the mages of Holy Rock City replaced the position of Alchemy City and began to fight with Rex's mages in Great Liang City against the Vatican.
The number of stone gods in the Giant's Graveyard began to decrease, but Salin knew that there were even more stone gods in the graveyard. Moreover, the stone gods in the energy shield were of a much higher rank than those outside. Even a mage like Carrie almost lost her life in there, and that was only because of one or two stone gods chasing after her.
If all the stone gods in the energy shield woke up, Salin estimated that only the professionals of the entire continent could have a chance of winning.
Therefore, Salin was not worried that the wealth in the Giant's Graveyard would be taken away. The mages of the Golden Plain who knew the inside story did not continue to mobilize their forces. They were only waiting for any changes in the Giant's Graveyard to go deeper.
In the north of the Qinyin Empire, there was now a brand-new city. This was the City of Nature that Winter started to build.
The location of the City of Nature was on the coordinates of the shrine that Salin knew. Winter himself did not know this, and Salin asked him to build the city here to save trouble.
Winter no longer had the help of Salin's people by his side. The knights of the Druidic Order had now expanded to more than 10,000 people, guarding the City of Nature.
The landing of Salin's Elemental Magic Tower caused quite a commotion. The nature mages almost attacked Salin's Elemental Magic Tower.
In the center of the city, Winter built a simple shrine. Salin's Elemental Magic Tower landed on the square in front of the shrine. When he walked out of the magic tower, Winter had already led hundreds of knights to greet him. There were also more than 100 mages accompanying him.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Winter bowed respectfully to Salin, then said to the mages around him, "This is the king of the Metatlin Kingdom, and also the sponsor of the Divine Shrine of Nature. We rely on Your Highness to help us spread our teachings. "
The mages immediately showed respect. The doctrine of the Druidic Order was not like that of the Holy Church. The mages were very respectful to those who sponsored the Druidic Order. After all, the Druidic Order did not promise anything. Even if you sponsored, your soul would not enter the Kingdom of Heaven in the future.
