[Second Update]
Canceling a contract was a very troublesome thing, but there were exceptions. For example, a forced contract. As long as Faka was willing, he could end it with a contract canceling scroll.
Salin looked at the scroll and was reluctant to write his name down.
It was a scroll written with pure dragon skin. There were a total of 12 scales on the scroll, and each scale had a three-dimensional divine rune. If Salin was given this scroll, he could almost create a level-12 magic scroll with his teacher.
Most importantly, this scroll consumed dragon scales. In other words, this scroll could be written 12 times. The effect wouldn't decrease every time, and he could create a scroll that could transcend a major rank.
In other words, when Salin was at level-12, he could also create a level-14 scroll. When this scroll was released, it also had the attribute of Dragon Magic.
However, canceling the contract was more important. Salin wrote his name without hesitation, and Faka also wrote his name on the corresponding position on the scroll. The scroll didn't burn, but a dragon scale broke, and the divine rune on the scale disappeared.
Salin felt that the depths of his soul were much more relaxed. The thing that bound him was gone.
"Rex …"
"Rex's contract is attached to you. Salin, you can ask Rex."
Salin shook his head. He knew this, but he wanted Faka to say it. It was very important for a mage to say it out loud.
"Faka, you're so sincere. I'm touched." Salin didn't change anything because of Faka's friendliness. He said in a sarcastic tone. Faka definitely wasn't doing this for his own good. He was forced by the situation.
It was probably because he had obtained Goddess Myers' luck. This contract also had a negative impact on Faka. If the contract was maintained, it would be a situation where both sides would suffer. It seemed that he had made the right choice to keep destroying the temples. The fewer temples he left, the more luck he would obtain.
"I'm very touched myself." Faka didn't look like a strong person at all. His expression didn't change as he talked nonsense with Salin.
"This …" Salin was young after all, and he was defeated by Faka.
"Speaking of which, I want to make a deal with you. I'm afraid you won't agree to this deal, so I'll make it easier for you. You're a good mage, and you know when to give up, so I don't mind giving you some benefits first, "Faka said seriously.
"As long as it's a reasonable deal, I'm interested. Fakhar, you're also a good mage. You understand the principle of equivalent exchange."
"It's like this. One of Lerex's assassins obtained something in Glory City. The Cardinal Institution did not know the importance of this thing. It was only because the damage caused by the assassin was too great that they chased him all the way to Lone Star City. I'm afraid you don't know what it is, do you? "
"I really don't know." Salin did not lie. The thing that Byrne brought back was a complicated piece of equipment. After the mages on Seriger Island disassembled it, they were unable to put it back together. However, the core part was a semi-liquid metal. It was extremely heavy and had a mud-like structure that could change shape.
"That thing hasn't been destroyed, right?"
"The core is gone, but the external parts have been disassembled."
Faka heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the mage would be curious and break down the cores inside. If that happened, he would get nothing.
"This thing is not a mage's equipment, nor is it a mage's equipment. It's a kind of creature. This kind of creature is so precious that even giant dragons are trash compared to it. "Faka was not stingy with his praise.
"What is it?!" Seeing that Faka did not hide anything, Salin was immediately curious. If this thing was in his hands, Faka would definitely offer a good price.
"Abyssal Soul. This thing will constantly release abyssal matter and open up a domain. If I cultivate it, I can connect to a demiplane with abyssal attribute. Moreover, in this demiplane, I'm God. "
"Faka, you're so honest. Could it be …"
"I'm going to offer a high price. You can't refuse."
"What is it?"
"The cultivation method of this creature. Use it to exchange for half of it. In this way, you and I can open up half of the abyssal plane."
"Faka, it takes hundreds of millions of years to open up a plane. I can't live that long."
"No, Salin. This opening doesn't mean using power to create a plane. Instead, this kind of creature will hollow out the underground lava and create this space with abyssal attribute. You only need a lot of money. Whether it's magic cores or crystals, this kind of creature can grow crazily and turn the underground into another world. "
"What if this thing runs to the surface?"
"This thing likes high temperature, rocks, and metal. The surface is too cold for it, so it can only be in a dormant state. "
"What price are you going to offer?"
Salin relented, but he still wanted to ask for more benefits. He could modify Rafael's demiplane. Things like abyssal souls were mentioned in the materials of the Astrology Tower, but the astrologer did not care about such things. The astrologer did not want to domesticate abyssal souls either. He just wanted to kill them as much as possible to prevent the core of the star from being modified.
Mages might not care about what the core of the star was, but the astrologer did.
"Is the method of cultivating this kind of creature not enough?" Faka said with some dissatisfaction.
"Because I can do without this thing, but you need it." Salin went straight to the heart of the problem. Indeed, perhaps only Faka knew the method of cultivating abyssal souls, but Salin could completely not use this kind of creature to create an abyss.
"That makes sense!" Faka scratched his head. Salin was indeed a good deal partner, but because of this, he could not gain any advantage.
"Faka, you've already set up a formation. Isn't the divine statue on the altar for me to see? Alright, I'm not greedy. I want the method of making that statue. "Salin did not continue to beat around the bush. Faka was very sincere, so he would let this deal be completed.
"Sigh …" Faka sighed. This was his choice. The abyssal soul was too important to him. Otherwise, he would not have told Salin the method of making the divine statue. It would be a little difficult for mages to imitate this method, but it was not impossible.
Besides, Salin did not lack mages now. Although the number of mages in the Druidic Order was small, there were still thousands.
Only such a practical thing could move Salin.
"Deal?"
"Deal!" Faka replied like a businessman.
"Alright, Faka, you want to get technical support from mages, right?"
"Yes, divine alchemists are not as good as mages at making machinery. I don't have that many craftsmen on hand. The war is about to start, and I need to equip my soldiers. "
Salin smelled the smell of profit. He asked, "Equipment that can increase the level of soldiers and is more powerful than divine knight armor?"
"Yes, you have experience in making metal aircraft. It will be easier to make this kind of equipment. It's not that I can't make it, but I don't have as much manpower and material resources as you. "
"How can you guarantee …"
"I need a million sets of equipment. I'll give you the complete blueprint and about half of the materials."
"Won't you be at a disadvantage?"
"No, Salin, there is a time limit to the contract. You must provide a million sets of equipment within the time I set. I reckon that after the contract is completed, your mages will be able to study the core secret of the blueprint. I'll give you the control part at the end, "Faka said to Salin. What he meant was that he would make the core control part of this equipment himself. Salin could also study it during the process of completing the contract, but he was confident that he wouldn't be able to study it before Salin made a million sets of equipment.
Salin could also wait. After the contract was completed, Faka would give him the complete blueprint anyway.
"Unless you tell me what's going to happen, I don't dare to promise you. I have to provide half of the materials for the one million sets of equipment, "Salin refused.
"Of course I'll tell you this news. Even if I don't tell you, it doesn't mean that you're at a disadvantage. Salin, this is the equipment I'm talking about. " Faka pointed at the metal insect on the table and said, "This is a single person flying armor. It can be made of metal or stone god fragments. You have more stone god fragments than I do, and you can modify this thing. In the end, you will also have an extremely powerful army. "
"Extremely powerful?"
"Yes, insect angel, a combat weapon from the insect plane.
"I think you've prepared the contract, right?" Salin asked Faka.
"Yes, I've been waiting for you."
"How long will it take to make a million sets?"
"Starting in June and ending in December."
"Half a year. It seems that this thing is really complicated."
"Very complicated. It's so complicated that I'm willing to provide what you need and let you help me repair it."
"Repair?"
"Yes, this thing's defense is very strong. It's very difficult for the soldiers inside to be injured, but it will still be damaged. It's very troublesome to repair. I hope your alchemy factory can provide me with help. "
"Do you want to write it all in one contract?" Salin asked carefully.
"Write it separately, lest you worry about me!"
"Sigh …" Salin sighed and said, "Faka, after dealing with the Vatican for so long, you're the first person I'm satisfied with."
Faka smiled and asked, "So, everything has been settled?"
"Almost, but give Picasso freedom first."
"It doesn't matter." Faka took out a book, opened it, and used his divine power to erase Picasso's name. Then, he called someone to summon Picasso and said to him, "You're free. You can choose to follow Salin."
