Magicians summoning puppets was the most common way of fighting, but Persia's puppet was different. It was a medium-sized puppet with many parts attached, turning it from an engineering puppet into a combat puppet. Although it could not be moved, the transformation was still interesting and practical.
After Persia finished setting up the puppet, the magic drill under the puppet had already broken through the ground, revealing the magic formation. The magic drill hit the formation hundreds of times, and only stopped when all the magic substances in the drill were used up.
A small hole appeared in the magic formation, but it was quickly filled by the formation's self-repair ability.
Persia shook his head. He had no choice but to use metal poison again.
It was not easy to refine this metal poison, and it was even more difficult to purify it after it was extracted. Persia was preparing to forge a large piece of equipment, which was why he had prepared so many metal poisons. Otherwise, he would not have brought so many with him.
Another bottle of metal poison was poured into the cave, corroding a hole in the interlayer of the magic formation. Only then did Persia open another scroll, dissolving the top of the warehouse and breaking through.
Persia did it smoothly, as if he had practiced it countless times. Salin called the star puppet and followed. The Ironblood Grand Duke was still on guard outside, riding the seven-colored dragon.
He wanted a share of the benefits of attacking the city. Even if Persia went down to collect the goods, he would not be able to take them all. Therefore, it was not unreasonable for Persia to agree to stop the attack outside and give Salin half of the benefits.
Unless they encountered movable goods like the puppet army, Salin only needed to go down and count the goods. The grand duke's men would naturally take care of the battle outside.
Hopping into the cave, Persia was already dissolving the top of the warehouse on the next floor. Persia was not in the mood to look at the items on this floor. They were nothing more than some high-level materials.
Salin did not let them go. He released the thunder puppet and plundered as he pleased.
Persia pretended not to see. When Salin was almost done, he had already broken through the warehouse on the next floor. The second time, Salin gave him four more Dissolution Scrolls. This time, he used three of them, saving one.
Persia could also make level-11 scrolls, but he had never learned Dissolving. This skill was very useful in alchemy. He used seven Dissolving scrolls and had some understanding of this spell. After learning the incantation, all he had to do was familiarize himself with the elemental fluctuation frequency.
This scroll had to be kept for research. Persia did not want to buy it from Salin. Salin was meticulous in his work. Even if he saved one this time, Salin would probably plot against him for a long time.
Salin didn't care about Inpos' schemes. It was just a level-11 scroll. Salin's most abundant resource was scrolls. He had it because he had countless star runes. because he had the scrolls. was because he had a lot of star runes.
The warehouse below was obviously smaller than the other warehouses by more than half. It was only a few hundred meters long. Salin. Salin. Persia Salin. Salin Salin Salin
Salin. Salin Salin. Salin, Salin, Salin.
This is a sealed warehouse. It can't be exposed to the air. Hurry up! "Inbosse ignored his image and frantically collected the things that looked like metal fragments on the ground.
Salin Salin Salin noticed that the gas in the warehouse was unbreathable. If a human breathed in, they would die in a dozen seconds.
The gas was poisonous to humans but not corrosive. It was the best way for Magicians to protect items that were susceptible to decay.
Salin Salin took out his dimensional stone and summoned all four Star Puppets. They helped him collect the fragments. Salin finally recognized the fragments. They were eggshells of some creature. But they were very hard. They were hundreds of times harder than steel. The material was probably afraid of contact with air. Once it did, it would be broken down into other substances. Its value would decrease.
The air pressure in the warehouse was high. It was pouring out through the hole Persia had created. Puppets couldn't use spatial equipment, and Salin only had four Star Puppets of a sufficiently high level. Even so, he collected the eggshells much faster than Persia.
Alchemy City had all kinds of materials. Alchemy City must have treasured something that was preserved with special methods in a two-story warehouse. Salin didn't try to recall the Magical Beast Encyclopedia. He knew that Alchemy City would not have preserved the things in the encyclopedia so carefully.
Just look at the high-level magic cores. Alchemy City could store them casually. They didn't even need spatial boxes.
There were a lot of eggshells piled up here. Boss had started first, but Salin's Elemental Eyes could tell which eggshell contained more energy. The Star Puppet unceremoniously collected the thickest and most advanced eggshells into the dimensional stone.
For Inpos, this wasn't important. This warehouse didn't contain what he wanted.
The warehouse suddenly shook. Salin didn't bother Persia. He flashed up to the first floor of the warehouse. He stored the materials the Thunder Puppet collected with his star ring. Then he jumped up to the ground.
On the ground, the Iron Duke was confronting a Level Ten True Martial. If it was just a Level Ten True Martial, the Iron Duke would have used the dragon's power to force him back. It would not have caused such a big shake. Beneath the body of this Level 10 True Martial was a strange-looking big guy. It was more than 30 meters tall and looked like a huge gorilla.
"Are you done?" the Iron Duke shouted when he saw Salin.
"I don't think so." Salin frowned. Persia's expression let him know that the attack on Alchemy City did not get the most important thing for Persia.
"We can't keep looking. It's too late," the Iron Duke said. He had lost nearly 90,000 soldiers. He didn't know how many Salin had lost. He estimated it to be three to five thousand.
His estimation was not too bad. Salin had only lost a thousand or so insect angel warriors, and they all died under the attack of the giant statue. After the giant statue appeared, Salin's insect angel warriors rushed up. Realizing that they were no match, they went around under Salin's command. Only a few hundred were left.
The giant statue was the strongest fighting force of Alchemy City. Even a Level Ten True Martial wouldn't be a match for it, let alone insect angel warriors. The two statues did not even need human command. They attacked the enemies of Alchemy City automatically. Even the Metal Titan might not be a match for these two big guys.
It seemed that Alchemy City did not have as many loopholes as it seemed. Salin wanted to leave, but Persia came up from behind and made another suggestion.
"Duke, Your Highness, the thing I'm looking for is definitely in the third warehouse. I'll be frank with you. I rebelled against Alchemy City for this thing. I found it in the ruins, but the Elemental Hand took it away by force. They don't have the ability to study it yet."
The Iron Duke looked at Salin. Salin understood and said, "We agreed that we only have half an hour. If we go looking for this warehouse, it won't be enough …"
"It's the body fragment of a god!" Persia couldn't help but reveal the secret.
"The body fragment of a god?" Salin repeated in magic language. There were no descriptive words in magic language, so the vocabulary was shockingly large. Only Magicians were willing to learn it, and they had to use magic skills to remember it all.
There were no loopholes in magic language.
"Yes, the body fragment of a god," Persia repeated in magic language.
"Duke, what do you think?"
The Iron Duke frowned. If it was something else, he would be interested. The body fragment of a god was more suitable for Magicians. Even if he got it, he still had to rely on Persia. If it was a ready-made divine item, he would be interested.
"We'll split it among the three of us. I only need one-fifth!" Persia also knew that he had to rely on the Duke and Salin. If they went to that warehouse, the Alchemy City's magic booster would be back in operation. By then, the price of killing their way out would be very high.
"Let's deal with the thing in front of us first." The Iron Duke pointed at the True Martial warrior who was entangled by the Insect Angel. Salin could see that the mount under the True Martial warrior was not a living thing at all. It was a puppet.
This puppet was not a mechanical product of Alchemists. It was made by Summoners using living things.
"Persia, that looks like a Behemoth," Salin reminded Persia kindly.
"Behemoths are not that small. Plus, all Behemoths are dead. Has a Behemoth of this size reached adulthood?" As Persia spoke, the metal gear under his feet spun rapidly. He charged at the True Martial warrior.
It was very strange for a Magician to fight in close combat. Salin had thought that he was the only one who would do this. Seeing Persia's bravery, he finally understood that he was not an anomaly.
Persia was an anomaly. His metal tail swung behind him. It was even scarier than the legendary Scorpio.
Behemoths were land behemoths. They were weaker than giants. But they were about the same as dragons. During the Plane Wars, the Behemoth Plane was also involved. Although these magical beasts were intelligent, they did not have any words. In the eyes of humans, they were not intelligent creatures.
Dragons, giants, and even demons all had words. Behemoths were a tragic race. Most of their knowledge was passed down through bloodlines. Mothers only had a very short time to teach their young.
Therefore, in the history of mankind, the Behemoth became the target of hunting. It was because the Behemoth's fur was tougher than any magic armor. Behemoths were born to absorb the power of the earth. They were also violent, which became the reason why humans hunted them.
In fact, no matter how strong the Behemoths were, they did not master the rules of the plane. It was difficult for them to perform plane jumps. They could not cause any harm to humans.
