[Third Update]
Salin called his followers back to the temple and contacted Rex.
This time, Salin received good news. Rex had also advanced to level ten. Rex's advancement was more difficult than his, but that was because he used the Six Dimensional Space to forcibly increase his level.
Rex advanced to level ten and reached an agreement with his family in the Golden Plain. The Mages in the Golden Plain, however, would support Rex's ascension to the throne.
Salin didn't care whether Rex became the emperor or not. In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about Prince Sephiroth anymore. Prince Sephiroth must have advanced to level ten True Martial and was a difficult person to deal with. According to Rex, Sephiroth also knew some secret spells of the Lycus family.
The attitude of the Golden Plain saved Salin a lot of energy. He had already formed an alliance with the Iron Blood Duke. Next, the entire eastern part of the continent could focus on Holy Rock City.
Although the Mages in Alchemy City had retreated to an unknown place and might come back, Salin wasn't worried about them. His and his teacher's advancement speed would soon leave the other Mages in the dust.
The two most powerful Mages in the same country were very significant in this era where the strong decided everything. Besides, there were many advanced Mages in Metatlin City. Salin didn't care if they outnumbered him.
Faka had already come again and handed over all the armors. Salin was in the floating city at that time. Faka didn't force him to see him. He just left a message for Salin.
A coordinate and a date.
On the last day of December, they gathered in Plateau City.
Plateau City was a medium-sized city in the Rhine Duchy. This city was the coordinate of the invasion of the Myers Continent by the Demon Plane. Salin had a magic map. After looking at the coordinate, he found that once the spatial channel was opened, it would be in the core area of Plateau City.
Salin counted the people around him. Only Gusin returned to Rex's side as his personal guard. The rest of his followers and some Mages who had signed contracts with him were mostly level-nine. Many of them had also advanced to level ten.
Sue finally became a level-ten True Martial. At this time, he was even more humble. After advancing, he realized the gap between him and Zola.
Daniel became a level-nine Magic Shooter. Although his level was the lowest among the followers, he was a Necromancer. At level nine, he could burst out with powerful combat power.
Nicholas, Nelis, and Eilinor were all Level 10 experts. Isabella was still at Level-9, but her magic and martial arts had reached the pinnacle of Level-9, which was equivalent to a Level-10 powerhouse.
What Salin didn't know was that while he was concentrating on cultivation, Jason had specifically strengthened his followers' training.
Lone Star City's Ainphent had also advanced to level-10. Among Salin's four duchesses, Guya, who specialized in magic, was now a level-9 Magic Shooter. As for the others, they didn't make any progress themselves, but they managed to recruit a sufficient number of experts.
Although Salin was also recruiting people, those who wanted to rely on him had to think it over. There were too many powerhouses at Salin's side, and a 9th Rank High Mage might not be able to be put in an important position. It would be better to follow the Duke at Salin's side. Since these dukes could be put in important positions, their status in the future would not be too low.
Between being the tail of a dragon and the head of a Garuda Beast, many people would choose the latter.
Level-9 Archers had advanced to Level-10, and Salin had also recruited a few Level-10 Mages. Now, there were enough experts at Salin's side, at least defending his own city was no longer a problem.
The four Level-10 Mages who had followed Salin back from the Devil's Horn were very happy now. They didn't have to scheme against each other, and Salin could give them enough resources and status. As court mages, everything they needed for cultivation was provided by Salin.
Salin also gave them scrolls made of star pattern paper, which were used to cultivate Level-11 magic. This was very important for Level-10 Mages. Because the probability of failure when drawing scrolls on star pattern paper was very small. Every time the drawing was successful, the corresponding magic understanding would deepen.
Because drawing scrolls was a slow process, one could understand more magic knowledge.
For a Mage, drawing scrolls was one of the best ways to learn magic. But in general, drawing scrolls, especially scrolls that were higher than one's own level, had a very low success rate. And the higher the level of the materials, the more expensive they were. Mages were not willing to spend money like this even if they had money.
So the price of finished scrolls was also very high. The higher the level, the more outrageous the price.
What made Salin feel most at ease wasn't that most of his subordinates had advanced rapidly, but that his teacher, Jason, had successfully advanced to Level-11. He had become a Level-11 Great Mage.
This difference between Level-11 and Level-10 was equivalent to half a major level for a Mage.
With Jason's advancement, Salin completely relaxed about Metatlin City.
His only regret was that his student, Truman, was still a Level-9 Mage. So this time, Salin didn't plan to bring Truman to the Rhine Duchy. This was because this battle was a life and death battle against creatures from another plane. Truman was a student, not a follower. Moreover, this student's comprehension was extremely high. Truman was already very familiar with Salin's Elemental Conversion skill. Moreover, as a link between the previous and the following, he had already systematically converted the six major elements into a new magic skill.
The plane passage in the west of the city didn't continue to expand. Salin's guess was right, this wasn't connected to the real Abyss Plane. This was a similar Abyss Plane, equivalent to a half-plane that hadn't fully grown. The creatures in this half-plane looked powerful, but they weren't higher than Level-10.
So he saw many professionals coming to the city hall to sell the corpses of Abyss creatures every day. For the professionals of Metatlin City, this was a chance to increase their strength and make a fortune.
If you were willing to accept gold coins, an Abyss creature's corpse could be exchanged for at least a thousand gold coins.
If it was a high-level creature, it could be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold coins, not counting the magic cores. These people kept the magic cores of Abyss creatures for themselves. Because in Metatlin City, the price of magic cores had never been too high.
The alchemy factory on the floating city was also fully activated. This was the world of Necromancers, specializing in making battle equipment for Salin.
Because of this equipment, Salin absolutely didn't want any partial blueprints to be leaked.
Filthy Blood Armor, Salin could already make Filthy Blood Armor. In ancient times, Filthy Blood Armor could be mass-produced because it didn't have high requirements for materials. But the materials that were cheap back then had become expensive now.
Luckily, Salin had obtained the materials left behind by the Astrology Tower and the Goddess, so he could replicate the Filthy Blood Armor.
But the Filthy Blood Armor Salin made was still unrecognizable. The Filthy Blood Armor of ancient times couldn't fly. Elite Warriors could fly completely by their own strength.
Those who could wear the Filthy Blood Armor were at least Level Nine Warriors, which was the current Gold Sword Saints. And the flying ability of Gold Sword Saints wasn't weak, even stronger than that of Level Nine Mages.
But Salin's Warriors couldn't. So far, the number of Gold Sword Saints was still very small. On the Myers Continent, Mages had a systematic learning method, and there were countless experiences left by predecessors, but the skills of Warriors were very few. If one wanted to advance to Gold Sword Saint, one would suffer many restrictions, the biggest of which was one's own aptitude.
In Salin's view, this problem of aptitude was not a human problem, but a problem of skills. For example, it was very difficult for him to become a Mage, but because of various fortuitous encounters and a lot of magic wealth, he was now one of the top experts on the Myers Continent.
This path wasn't impossible to replicate. As long as there was a person with a similar physical condition as Salin who took the Magic String Potion and had Salin's support, the final outcome would be similar to Salin's.
The problem was that Warriors didn't have so many choices, so a Warrior's equipment became extremely important.
After being modified by Salin, the Filthy Blood Armor had become a deep red color. The choice of material was mainly Giant Dragon bones with Giant Bone Crystals. The fusion rate of these two materials was extremely high, but the price of these two materials was also very high. If it wasn't for the deal with the Iron Blood Grand Duke, Salin wouldn't have been able to get so many Giant Dragon bones.
Salin's alchemy factory now only produced four levels of Filthy Blood Armor, from Level 8 to Level 11. The Level 12 Filthy Blood Armor had yet to be developed.
Rank 10 and rank 11 Tainted Blood Armor were for his followers. In the future, Salin would also promote and reward the soldiers who advanced to the next rank. Currently, the soldiers were using Level 8 and Level 9 Filthy Blood Armor. But as long as one was a Sword Saint, they could already wear Level 8 Filthy Blood Armor.
In other words, Salin could raise the strength of a Warrior equivalent to a Level 6 to the level of a Silver Sword Saint.
All the armors were refined with Dark Space magic patterns, which had extremely high defense against magic. The armor's way of flying was two pairs of transparent wings. The Filthy Blood Armor was equipped with a mask made from the bones of magic beasts, and the eyes were complex compound eyes of insects, which could provide the warriors with all-round vision.
If one wanted to master this ability, the safest way was to not leave the area controlled by the Magic Net. This was because the mental power of these warriors was enough to use the low-level magic vision skill in the Magic Net, and then directly adapt to complex visual perception.
In addition to the Filthy Blood Armor, Salin also equipped the Demon God Flying Armor for the star puppets.
The Imps still wore the Insect Angel Armor.
As for the Ancient Warriors, Salin didn't use them as cannon fodder this time. Instead, he carefully kept them in Metatlin City. The twelve demon legions also entered the floating city to defend the floating city. The number of Controllers on the floating city, in addition to Salin's original 3,600 Familiars, was increased by an additional 120,000 Controllers.
The Demon City summoned very few Greater Demons, but nurtured many Imps and Familiars. These two types of Demon Bloodlines were born with strong mental power. As Controllers, the training time would not exceed a month. The rest of the time was for these Controllers to learn magic incantations, and the Demon Bloodline's ability to learn incantations was even inferior to human Mages.
After more than ten days of preparation, Salin brought his followers, Shika, more than a hundred thousand Necromancers, a hundred and twenty thousand demons, a hundred and twenty thousand insect angel warriors, and more than ten thousand star puppets to control the floating city and fly to Jialou Lan.
