The Ironblood Duke had sent all of his family's experts to the Dragon Plane, which was why he didn't show himself on the Myers Continent. He was the leader of his family, not because he was the strongest, but because he was the best at management.
Compared to other Mages, Salin was also good at management. Otherwise, there wouldn't be Metatlin City.
But compared to the Ironblood Duke, his management ability was much worse. Because even the Ironblood Duke could recruit someone like Persius and get along well with him, Salin liked the Ironblood Duke a little.
A dragon could weigh tens of thousands of pounds, or hundreds of thousands of pounds. Low-level dragons might be lighter, but they wouldn't weigh less than 5,000 pounds. The blood volume of a dragon was very large. A single dragon could provide thousands of kilograms of blood.
120,000 pounds of dragon blood wasn't a lot for Dragon Island. Salin thought of his deal with the Ironblood Duke and felt that he had lost out.
Bringing 120,000 catties of dragon blood and 2,000 high-grade dragon scales, Salin first returned to Metatlin City and handed them over to his teacher for him to handle. He brought his followers and teleported to the floating city.
The floating city happened to be in Guderian City and hadn't returned to Metatlin yet. Here, Salin activated the city and headed toward the East Sea. There were three months left. He would go to the Sea of Storms to find the God Temple there.
The location of the God Temple was the most dangerous. Salin had to get it as soon as possible. With the floating city, the Sea of Storms would become a smooth road. It would be easy for Salin to attack the countries in the East Sea in the future.
After taking down the God Temple, Salin would work with the Ironblood Duke to deal a heavy blow to Alchemy City.
After attacking Alchemy City, Salin estimated that it was time to defend the Devil's Plane Channel.
Along the way, Salin didn't stay idle. He was studying the magic potion formula for the Dragon Blood Warriors. This recipe was copied with magic, not copied by hand, to prevent any tricks from being played. The Ironblood Duke valued this deal and was very cautious, not daring to let Salin suffer.
Half-step was extremely important to him. Before reaching the ninth rank, the Dragonblood Warriors weren't much. They weren't as useful as the Ironblood Warriors, but once the power of the entire continent increased, the Dragonblood Warriors would advance far faster than ordinary warriors.
When that time came, he would have the most powerful army.
Salin knew this. He studied the formula to improve it. Salin wasn't considered a genius in magic, but he had his strengths. His greatest strength was his talent in magical potions.
Salin was also good at calculations. There weren't many Mages who could grasp Figaro's magic formula to his level. Even his teacher, Jason, was impressed.
This was because Salin really had no way of finding a way to advance, and the effort he put in was several times that of other diligent Mages.
The Dragonblood Warrior's secret recipe was extremely complicated. Dragon blood was the main ingredient, and the other ingredients were all things commonly seen on the Myer Continent. Salin, however, found something amiss.
This was a compromise formula. In other words, it was formulated for mass production on the Myers Continent. Salin immediately contacted his teacher. Jason didn't care about this formula, but after hearing Salin's words, he also realized that there was something wrong with this formula.
It wasn't that the Ironblood Duke was hiding it, but that this was the original recipe.
"Teacher, can you calculate the initial formula?"
"I don't have time. My people are all in the alchemy factory, working hard on the armor."
"Alright, Teacher, I'll think of a way myself." Salin didn't wait for Jason's reminder and patted his head in annoyance. He now had twenty thousand Manipulators under him, mostly Tamed Demons and Imps. These two bloodline creatures were born with strong mental power. If they learned Figaro's magic formula, with the help of the magic net, their calculation ability would be much stronger than his and Metatlin's Mages.
Making a prompt decision, Salin immediately created a model of Figaro's magic formula. At the same time, he added his understanding of Figaro's magic formula to the magic net of the floating city.
The operation of the magic net was different from ordinary magic. Someone had to store all the parts of a spell in the magic net for the magic net to provide support for this kind of magic. In other words, if a Manipulator wanted to release Icicle, they had to store all the necessary conditions such as incantations and gestures in the magic net. They only needed the magic net to have the ability to resonate with this magic.
This way, after the Manipulator's mental power entered the magic net, he could mobilize the magic net through the magic furnace and release magic.
The advantage of the magic net was that it saved Manipulators a lot of time and allowed them to advance quickly. The disadvantage was that once they left the magic net, these Manipulators would be beaten back to their original state.
Salin stopped the floating city for this purpose and started working on the sea. He inserted Figaro's magic formula into the magic net. It would be troublesome for others to do so, but Salin only needed to use water flames to send the energy waves he stored into the magic net. He was the one who created the magic net of the floating city. For this city, he spent more effort than any piece of equipment.
The floating city was still mostly empty. There were only Manipulators, demons, and a few Mages doing experiments here. There were no Warriors. Salin used Thunder Puppets and Star Puppets to replace them.
Cain took away the level-nineteen Star Condensation Needle and gave the Astrology Tower to Salin. Salin could take everything in the tower, including a large number of masterless puppets.
Most of these puppets were very high level, with level-nine being the most common. Unfortunately, there weren't many of them. Salin was a level-ten astrologer, so the puppets he could create were all level-nine. Salin couldn't even make one level-ten puppet in a month.
Salin couldn't bear to part with the star-patterned cloth, so he replaced it with other materials. The Star Puppets he created were only level-seven.
Level-Seven was enough. Ordinary soldiers and elite troops were only around level-four. Salin's level-seven puppets were enough to wipe out most noble troops. Unless they encountered prison guards or the Knights of the Temple, these Star Puppets were basically invincible.
The Manipulators on the floating city began to learn Figaro's magic formula. This kind of learning was very fast, but they couldn't really grasp it. To be more precise, Salin gave the Manipulators the ability to use the magic net to calculate. Without the magic net, these Manipulators wouldn't know more about Figaro's magic formula than a Warrior.
The disadvantages of the magic net were on full display here. After these Manipulators left the magic net, even their memories of magic would slowly disappear.
Salin didn't care that much. In any case, Tamed Demons were lowly existences in the Demonic Plane. For the rest of their lives, they would be food. Even if Tamed Demons learned magic, their achievements wouldn't be higher than a human's. Their bloodline and control over magic would never be as strong as a human's.
Magic was originally developed by humans. It was said that even Draconic Magic was like this. However, dragons were smarter than Tamed Demons, and could advance Draconic Magic to a more powerful level.
There were twenty-four thousand Manipulators on the floating city. After receiving Salin's orders, these Manipulators began to calculate all the components of the Dragonblood Warrior formula.
Through the calculations, Salin could calculate the principles behind the Dragonblood Warrior formula and reorganize the formula.
Even if he couldn't obtain the original formula, Salin could still improve it. This was the importance of manpower. If it was in ancient times, even low-level mages would be able to unleash great power, not to mention powerhouses as common as clouds.
In that era, it wasn't difficult to gather millions of Mages. If a million Mages were calculated together, with the support of equipment like the magic net, they could quickly calculate all kinds of magic potion formulas.
What Salin was doing now was also unique in the Myers Continent. The number of Manipulators that could be accommodated in Sky City could eventually reach more than a million. At that time, Salin would truly be fearless. Unless an expert two ranks higher than him appeared, even if Salin couldn't win, he could rely on endless manpower and material resources to defend.
In the magic net, the Manipulators were rapidly consuming magic cores. Magic formulas were deduced one by one to continue to deduce the principles behind the magic potion. All kinds of data were unconsciously written on magic paper by the Manipulators, and the images were transmitted to Salin.
When he arrived at the Sea of Storms, Salin had obtained three formulas. Two of them were improved formulas, one for humans and one for demons. The other was the original formula derived from Figaro's magic formula.
In this formula, there were things that Salin couldn't afford to consume.
All kinds of precious materials and herbs were in this formula. Most of them were already extinct in the Myers Continent. Salin had quite a few in his hands, all obtained from the Astrology Tower. However, the cost of using this formula to cultivate Dragonblood Warriors was a bit too high.
It seemed that he could only slowly think of a way. The two new formulas he obtained were not bad, increasing the success rate of cultivating Dragonblood Warriors by 20%.
All the materials in these two formulas could be produced in large quantities in the Myers Continent. Salin could use them to cultivate a large number of Dragonblood Warriors.
"Let's collect the seeds first." Salin transmitted the formulas back to Metatlin City to collect the seeds.
In front of them was the Sea of Storms. When Salin entered, the Sea of Storms could be considered stable, but the huge waves below were still more than ten meters high. Without the floating city, the wind here could tear the sails made of magic beast skin to pieces. The wind here was actually natural magic formed from the wind element. No wonder even Joey had to prepare his equipment before entering the Sea of Storms.
The floating city slowly landed on the sea. The huge waves that were ten meters high were not a big deal for the floating city that was nine hundred meters thick. Only someone with such powerful equipment like Salin could easily enter and directly land at the coordinates he wanted.
