[Third update, one more update.]
Agares smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be straightforward. I hate any form of religion. If Your Highness wants to promote the Druidic Order, I won't help you even though I won't eliminate it.
Salin frowned, but then he understood. Agares was the same as him. They both prioritized their careers. He would not prioritize the affairs of the country.
Agares didn't like gods and religion. This disgust had penetrated deep into his soul. If he went against his will and allowed religion to spread in his own country, then Agares' profession advancement would be seriously affected.
"In that case, forget it. This is the contract." Salin threw the contract to Agares. Behind Agares, a beautiful woman appeared. She was dressed like a court lady, but Salin could tell that she was one of the two female assassins beside Agares last time.
"What an enviable skill!" Salin sighed. As an assassin, Agares had this skill. It was equivalent to having two more powerful helpers, and they could hide in the shadows of his body.
Salin's Elemental Eyes couldn't tell how these two women followed Agares.
"I envy you too …" Agares looked at Neris, and Neris waved the spear in her hand at him. Agares immediately shut up. He suddenly felt the aura of death. At the top of Neris' gray memory, on the long spear tip, there were six closed eyes.
A very evil aura filled the air. Agares, who was used to being in the dark, had goosebumps.
"Are you still envious now?" Salin looked at Agares with a faint smile. "My maid is sometimes very disobedient. Even if I tell her not to kill you, she might disobey my orders."
"That's not a good joke."
"It's not a joke, Agares. Our contract is valid. But if you provoke Neris, I can't guarantee anything. You know, there are always loopholes in contracts for mages."
Agares' hand trembled when he heard Salin's words. The blood on his fingertips dripped onto the contract scroll. The scroll burned, not even ashes were left. This was a powerful scroll. Its binding force was almost equivalent to the rules of the plane.
"Of course, this sentence is a joke. I'm a mage, so the loophole in the contract applies to both parties. You're an Assassin. I don't want any loopholes in the contract. That's too dangerous for me. "Salin's smile became hateful in Agares' eyes.
However, Agares also laughed and said, "That's right. We are enemies. Your alliance with the Ironblood Grand Duke means that we won't be allies for long. So, what do we do next? "
"Your Majesty, you don't have to do anything. Just keep an eye on the outside." As Salin spoke, he released a dozen Star Puppets and split up to prepare the banquet.
In the courtyard of the Mage Tower, Salin set up a table and a chair. The table was very big, and there was a magic formation carved on one side. It was just nice to see the magic projection outside.
"Your Majesty, I can't leave, but if I enter the Divine Kingdom, I'll have a chance!"
"Salin, since we are enemies, just call me Agares. What Royal Highness or His Majesty? Those were just secular titles. Hmm, I'll just say it. I have two Level Nine Assassins with me, as well as 101 Ghost Servants. As long as there's a shadow, I can summon them at any time. "
"I have the Elemental Mage Tower. There are 3,600 Necromancers in the Mage Tower." Salin also revealed a part of his background. Neris was a Level Ten expert. Agares could not see this. He could only see that Neris was not human, and that her equipment was powerful enough to threaten his life.
As for Eleanor's archery, the Water Puppet's desperate Crystal Finger, and Isabella's magic and martial dual cultivation, these were all secrets. Those who knew were either Salin's most trusted people, or they had already died to these skills.
Outside the Elemental Mage Tower, the pope's large-scale Divine Rune Array had begun to be completed step by step. The humans used for sacrifices were beheaded, and their blood poured into the Divine Runes. All the Divine Runes floated up, and in the sky, a huge black hole was forming. The Divine Runes kept spinning, and the black hole happened to be in the center of the vortex.
The shape of the black hole became more and more distorted. As all the sacrificial creatures died, more than a hundred thousand strands of black gas rose into the sky and poured into the black hole.
Strange laughter came from the black hole. Caw caw caw …
"What delicious souls. Lowly beings, what do you want?"
"Swallow this thing!" A thin ray of divine light burst out of Dinicio's finger and landed on the Elemental Mage Tower.
"I reluctantly agree." Suddenly, the head of a giant beast emerged from the black hole. This beast's head looked like a toad, but also like a snake. It had fangs that were hundreds of meters long in its mouth. This giant beast swallowed the Elemental Mage Tower in one gulp without hesitation.
When the Elemental Mage Tower fell to the ground, it was already connected to the ground by Petrify. This giant beast swallowed the Elemental Mage Tower in one gulp, and a deep hole appeared in the ground where the tower was connected to the ground.
"Delicious!" The giant head retracted into the black hole. Dinicio's face was pale. Clearly, communicating with the giant beast had consumed a lot of his spiritual power.
After the giant beast retracted into the black hole, the black hole still did not disappear. Dinicio said to the Oracle behind him, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to destroy the City of Nature and take away all the Divine Kingdom's knights."
"Yes, Your Holiness." The God's Emissary respectfully replied Dinicio, looking as humble as a servant.
After Salin's Elemental Mage Tower was swallowed by the giant beast, Salin felt that the Elemental Mage Tower was passing through a huge Dimensional Passage. This Dimensional Passage was like the intestines of the giant beast.
This Dimensional Passage was very winding, and it was not as safe as the one left behind by the Goddess. The Elemental Mage Tower passed through countless elemental storms and Dimensional Cracks.
If not for the Elemental Mage Tower, Salin would have died in this Dimensional Passage.
It was not that there were no wreckages in the Dimensional Passage, but these wreckages were in a state of decay. After a long time of various energy corrosion and the destruction of Dimensional Cracks, if it was not a material that was as strong as a Level-18 Elemental Stone, it would not have been able to withstand such destruction.
What made Salin depressed was that after the Elemental Mage Tower was reforged, some of its abilities were already in the Elemental Stone, such as observing the outside world. However, the Flight Mageweath was still not refined into the Elemental Stone. The mages on Seriger Island did not have the ability to refine Level-18 Elemental Stones, so they could only attach the mageweath to the outside of the Elemental Mage Tower.
As a result, the Flight Mageweath on the Elemental Stone outside the Mage Tower was damaged again.
These Flight Mageweaths were precious. Without them, although the reforged Mage Tower could still fly, its speed would immediately be reduced to less than a hundred miles. At such a speed, any Magic Shooter who was good at flying would be able to catch up. Most flying magical beasts were much faster than this.
Salin kept a smile on his face throughout the whole process, talking and laughing with Agares.
Salin had to admit that other than making him feel uneasy, Agares was quite an interesting person. He did not have any of the Cloud Stream people's bad habits, but was more like a Qin Yin person.
When the two of them talked about the management of the country, they were full of complaints. Salin did not like the nobles, and neither did Agares.
However, Agares did not like the nobles, not because they did not listen to the rules of the royal family, but because they were incompetent in governing. Although Cloudy Mist City was luxurious, it was probably the only city in the Cloud Stream Empire that did not have starving people. No matter how extravagant the royal family was, they would still prepare food so that everyone in Cloudy Mist City could have a full meal.
Every project of the royal family could bring jobs to the poor, and the nobles were not allowed to interfere.
Agares also told Salin a ridiculous thing. If he wanted to give some supplies to the poor in Cloudy Mist City, he would be ridiculed in all kinds of ways. So he simply learned from his father and did some ridiculous things, then found a reason to spend the money and let the poor earn it.
What Salin was dissatisfied with the nobles was that their view of benefits exceeded their loyalty to duty. Even though the Qin Yin nobles were the best, this was still the case.
The nobles only used their duty to make their subjects follow them loyally. In Salin's opinion, this was an unequal exchange.
Qin Yin was the country that produced the most grain, and the land was the most fertile, but there were still starving people in Qin Yin.
Salin found it strange. He was born poor, so of course he would have a deeper feeling for ordinary people. Why did Agares do this?
Then the two of them talked about training. Because it did not involve their most secretive skills, Agares and Salin were very frank in their conversation.
Because of this, Salin learned some very practical skills for assassins, and Agares also sighed at the level of complexity of mages' skills.
Between two ordinary spells, there could be hundreds of combinations. These combinations could be used for different environments, different situations, and different enemies.
"Salin, I think if you advance to level-11, it will be very difficult for me to kill you," Agares complained.
"That's the same. Your concealment skill may have something to do with dark elements, which is something I'm not good at. As long as your level is not much lower than mine, it will be difficult for me to find you."
As they talked, the Elemental Magic Tower passed through one dangerous area after another in the space tunnel, and finally flew out of the darkness into a world full of light.
Salin and Agares stopped talking at the same time. In the image of the magic formation, the two of them saw a corner of this world. That annoying light was everywhere.
