[Third update, one more update.]
The construction of this city required tens of thousands of mages, more than a hundred magic towers, and countless magic cores in the magic furnace. In pursuit of speed, Salin replaced high-level materials with ordinary ones, so he had to strengthen them with magic and increase the properties of the materials.
If it weren't for the large number of magic furnaces in his alchemy factory, Salin wouldn't have been able to bear the cost.
In three days, Salin had built a huge city. The city was built on a tall lonely peak. Outside the city, a river had been dug. This was temporarily up to the demons. Salin still had something important to do, which was to excavate the shrine.
The Druidic Knights were sent out to start summoning believers. There were already nearly four hundred thousand believers in the Druidic North. These believers came to worship the Holy City and could choose to live here. The Goddess of Nature could make the weather favorable and produce abundant crops. This was a fatal attraction for the Druidic people.
The people of Cloud Flow mocked the Druidic people as country bumpkins. It wasn't just because of their own noble sentiments, but because the Druidic people loved land too much. Some nobles liked to plant their own land.
The nobles didn't let their subordinates do it, but cultivated it themselves. This kind of satisfaction was incomprehensible to the people of Cloud Flow. The people of Cloud Flow inherited the tradition of the Fourth Dynasty. They were too luxurious and lazy.
The mages were also sent out. Out of nearly four hundred thousand followers, there were only a little more than a hundred mages. The ratio was too small, but it couldn't be helped. The selection of followers could be anything, but the selection of mages had to be more stringent. In particular, the mages of the Druidic Faith needed a wealth of knowledge, not just about the doctrine, but also a lot of knowledge close to that of a mage and understanding of the world.
Many of the mages of the Druidic Faith were scholars or even magic apprentices.
Naturally, Salin couldn't bear to let qualified apprentices become believers. Even if they were ordinary apprentices, he wouldn't tempt them to join the Druidic Faith. Because in the future, he might destroy the Druidic Faith with his own hands. If he persuaded people to join, he wouldn't have the nerve to kill them in the future.
Although there was no moral pressure for mages to do this, Salin didn't want to dig a hole and bury people with his own hands.
This was what he learned from his teacher. With Jason's personality, an enemy was an enemy. He would never involve an unrelated person. This kind of person did things openly, and his heart was even more determined.
Those who stood in his way only needed to be removed with magic. Those who had nothing to do with him naturally existed in two different worlds.
Mages were unreasonable, but they were also the most understanding of the world. Only a few mages with no future would know nothing but magic.
Even a person like Hopkina was shrewd, but too lazy to use her brain for anything else.
Inpos was the same. He looked like a monster, but he had been hiding in Alchemy City for so many years. If he were a pure idiot, he would have died a long time ago, no matter how good his alchemy skills were.
To the mages of Alchemy City, there was nothing that could not be discarded or replaced.
After dismissing the mages and recruiting believers back to the City of Nature, Salin let the Elemental Magic Tower guard the door. He opened the space tunnel with Winter and entered the temple at the coordinates.
The space tunnel was wide and bright, which was novel to Salin. The tunnel was also unusually stable. After observing with the Elemental Eye, Salin knew that the tunnel hadn't been opened for ten thousand years, and the energy hadn't dissipated. This almost made Salin change his mind. But then he realized that if the tunnel was maintained, the believers of the Druidic Faith would know that the temple was left by the goddess.
Salin's purpose of doing this favor was to let the believers have two idols in their hearts. One was the goddess Myers, and the other was himself. Salin didn't need any power of faith, but once the believers had his image in their hearts, they wouldn't go crazy when the Druidic Faith was overthrown in the future.
The tunnel was very short. At the end was the temple left by the goddess. There wasn't anything special about this temple. It was just a little fancy and expensive.
Salin raised the Puppet Star and sent the puppets to search first. He and Winter talked about the situation in the North outside the temple.
Winter said to Salin directly, "Your Highness, I suggest that we don't expel the mages and believers of the God of Light for now."
"Why?"
"The God of Light is fierce and domineering. His doctrine seems to be full of kindness, but it is essentially to expel all living beings who don't listen to the deal. However, the Goddess of Nature is different. Anyone can believe in the Druidic Faith or not. They won't be called heretics, and there are no cruel punishments. In comparison, people can easily choose to join the Druidic Faith or the Holy Church. "
"But the people of the Holy Church will attack the believers of the Druidic Faith."
Winter laughed and said, "Master, didn't you build the City of Nature for the Holy War? Only war will make more people pursue faith. Wars between gods are also for the sake of stabilizing their own divine kingdoms. "
"Hehe, you see things clearly. But Winter …"
"Your Highness?"
"You can laugh too? Your smile is so ugly. "
"Hahaha!" Winter couldn't help but laugh. He said to Salin, "Your Highness, my heart was already dead. However, I feel like I really have a chance to destroy the Holy Church with my own hands. Of course, I'm happy. I don't want any sadness in this process. I want to take revenge with a smile. "
"Hatred makes people fall. Only this sentence is true in the doctrine of the God of Light," Salin sighed.
"There's another sentence – evil people will fall into the Purgatory."
"Eh, so you want to send the Holy Church to the Purgatory, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I still have to thank you for letting me understand that there are many things to do if I want to live. You don't understand. In the Holy Church, there are many things that I take for granted, but now it seems so ridiculous. For example, dedication and sacrifice. All of these are so ugly, but they have to be bathed in the holy light. The Holy Church is such a joke! "
"Don't be extreme, Winter. For mages, everything can be restarted. I'm using you, but it doesn't mean that I want you to die. One day, maybe you can find your own path. "
"Your Highness, you are more suitable to preach than me."
"Do you believe what I said?" Salin stared into Winter's eyes and asked.
"I do. Unfortunately, Your Highness was born too late, and I was born too early," Winter said regretfully. If he had chosen his first profession and followed a king like Salin, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Ok, Winter, I believe that you will have a future. Because I'm also an astrologer, I can see the destiny of people."
Winter was touched by Salin's words. He fell silent and thought about what Salin said.
However, Salin interrupted his thoughts and said, "You are right. I hope that the Druidic Church will start the Holy War when it is established. In the beginning, we can only defend. This City of Nature is the headquarters of the Druidic Church. Therefore, I want to dismantle this godly palace and move it to the surface. "
Winter finally understood why Salin built the entire City of Nature but didn't build a godly palace.
The puppets used a lot of jade stones and tall Thundercloud Trees to dismantle the godly palace. Besides pocketing the Thundercloud Trees, Salin would also move all the other precious building materials up. There was nothing dangerous sealed in this godly palace, nor were there any treasures left behind. All the materials of the godly palace were enough to form an enormous divine runic array.
The godly palace was perfectly preserved. Even the passage of time hadn't corroded the materials. It was as if the Goddess Myers had already seen this day and knew that Salin needed a complete godly palace to attract believers.
"The godly palace will be the core of the City of Nature. I have already designed it. I will create an enormous divine runic array that will form something similar to the magic net. However, the magic net is a mature technology, and this divine runic array requires many mages to operate. Therefore, the number of mages in the City of Nature is insufficient. Winter, I need you to solve this problem as soon as possible. I will temporarily arrange for some false believers, in other words, tamed demons and imps, to replace the mages.
"Your Highness's arrangements are very detailed. What can I do?"
"You have already done very well. I am very surprised that you have more than 300,000 believers. That's right, as for those demons, try not to make them believe in the Goddess. You must also make the believers accept the existence of demons. "
"Your Highness, I understand. I am already working on it, but … "
"But what?"
"Your Highness, a thousand miles to the north, there is a large number of experts from the Holy See."
"Hmm?" Salin suddenly became alert. A thousand miles away? Wasn't that very close to the church that he had destroyed? A large number of experts? The experts that Winter mentioned had to be at least ninth rank professionals.
If there was no fight in Great Liang City, Salin wouldn't find it strange. But now that Great Liang City was in full swing, the Holy See had even given up on attacking the central part of Qin Yin. If there were extra experts, the Holy See would definitely send them to the battlefield in the giant's graveyard. Why would they send them to the north of Qin Yin?
"How long has this been going on?"
"It started in June of this year."
"It's been almost half a year! Alright, I will send someone to investigate. "As Salin spoke, he controlled the Puppet Star and patiently dismantled the godly palace. This wasn't a destructive dismantling, so it would take a lot more time. Fortunately, there were more than a thousand types of puppets in the Puppet Star. Dismantling buildings was not difficult for these puppets.
A large number of materials from the godly palace were dismantled and sent into the Dimension Stone. Salin originally thought that this would be the end. He didn't expect that when he was dismantling the last godly palace, a huge figure suddenly emerged from the godly palace.
