[Part three. One more to go.]
Seeing that the black vortex was about to be revealed, Salin stopped absorbing the black mist. He didn't want to help Faka deal with this vortex. Last time, he was almost tricked by Faka when he wanted to solve the problem of demons. If it weren't for Archangel Raphael, Salin might have really been tricked.
Salin didn't dare to bring Raphael this time. The floating city was targeted by Faka, so he had to leave the most powerful person to protect it. Although the floating city itself was almost indestructible, Salin had to be careful. In this plane, there were still many strange skills that could control people's minds.
"Master, are we going or not?" Nelis looked at the huge black vortex in the remaining fog and was a little reluctant to leave. After this large-scale purification, the rules of her Purgatory of Purification were almost perfect.
In the future, any messy things that were thrown in would basically be purified and turned into idiots.
It sounded nice, but if a person was purified and even lost their self-awareness, it wouldn't be nice. Purification was originally a skill created by gods. After humans learned it, they became even more terrifying.
"Let's go. We won't meet Faka. We've already ruined his plan here. We'll go to Nature City and take the floating city to Kushui Prefecture. "
"Master, are you worried about Rex?"
"Yes. No matter how much Rex delays, he'll be at Holy Rock City by now. Besides, her brother is seriously ill, and Rex can't delay any longer, "Salin said.
As Salin spoke, he used Cloud Walk and flew up with Neris and the winged skeleton. Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw hundreds of abandoned puppets into the black vortex.
Before these puppets could enter the black vortex, they were swallowed by the mist and turned into demons, screaming in the mist.
The road from Plateau City to Kushui Prefecture was extremely difficult. Along the way, there were only some easy areas at the border of Jialoulan. However, Salin was no longer the little mage he used to be. Magic String was enough for him to fly across the entire continent a few times.
Flying across the continent was no longer a problem for level-10 experts. Even martial artists who weren't good at flying had enough power to fly thousands of kilometers at level-10. It was just a matter of speed, but they definitely didn't need to walk on legs.
Salin's Cloud Walk could reach a speed of 500 kilometers, and they could reach Kushui Prefecture in a day.
The three landed in the sky and walked outside the city. Salin had mixed feelings when he came back to this place again. Back then, he had no way to go and was afraid of being captured by adventurers and sent to Brilliance City. Back then, he had no way to go and was afraid that he would be captured by adventurers and be sent to Brilliance City by Brilliance City.
Back then, he went to Rex, and he had no idea this day would come.
At that time, his biggest dream was to become a Magic Magic of Magic. As long as one was a Level Seven professional, it would be the highest dream.
The city gates were not closed. Kushui County was located in a remote area. If the army wanted to come, they had to take a detour. It was impossible not to know. "" "" "". "". "" "" "" "" "" "" ".".
"I" "" "" "." "" "with" "" "" with "", "." "", "" "" "" "'t" "" "" "" Many low-level mages gathered here, working for Rex's alchemy factory to obtain magic cores and practice magic.
Kushui Prefecture attracted many low-level mages because there were public magic classes and a library here, which allowed people to read a large number of magic books.
Rex also collected fees, but compared to Alchemy City, Rex's fee was only about one-sixth of Alchemy City's. This was a huge temptation for low-level mages.
One-sixth of a gold coin could see the same content of knowledge.
The soldier guarding the gate was the one Salin saw when he first arrived at Kushui Prefecture. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, or if Rex had arranged it.
"How much do I have to pay to enter?" Salin asked the soldier with a smile.
"One silver coin, not from the Tanggulas Empire," the soldier answered in a rough voice, but he immediately recognized Salin.
"It's the prince!"
"What?" Salin didn't understand.
"The princess went to Holy Rock City to be the emperor. Sir, you've been promoted to prince. How can I take your money? "
"You can't break the rules," Salin said as he tossed three silver coins into the box at the gate.
The city didn't charge any fees for locals, but outsiders had to pay silver coins to enter. At first, Salin thought that Rex was using this method to earn money. Only now did he know that the box at the gate was a piece of equipment.
Personally putting in a silver coin would give the coin its owner's scent. In other words, everyone who entered Kushui Prefecture would be recorded by magic. If anything happened, there would be traces of it.
Small tricks, big effects. If Rex hadn't told Salin, he wouldn't have known the use of the box. In Kushui Prefecture, it wasn't that there were no crimes, but that none of them managed to escape. They were all killed by the mages of the prince's palace.
The soldier was terrified, but Salin laughed and casually rewarded the soldier with a gold coin. With his wealth, he could easily get thousands of gold coins, but Salin was just in a good mood. He hoped that the soldier would be in a good mood.
If one wanted something, they had to pay the same price. Salin was in a good mood, so he rewarded the soldier with a gold coin. That was what the soldier deserved.
Salin didn't change his direction. He'd come to Kushui Prefecture first to help build a defense system there. The floating city was slower than his flying speed, so it was still on its way.
After passing through the gate, he went straight to the prince's palace. The palace wasn't empty either. Many mages were studying there. Rex's teacher was there too. This mage had already advanced to level-10 and was the strongest mage in Kushui Prefecture. He was far inferior to Metatlin City.
Apart from this level-10 mage, most of the mages in Kushui Prefecture were great mages and ordinary mages below level-7. A few level-9 mages had followed Rex in the early days and later left to cultivate. They'd come back to help when Liang City was in trouble.
Liang City's crisis had been resolved, and these mages didn't want to leave. They returned to Kushui Prefecture to defend this land for Rex. Rex treated people sincerely, so he'd subdued a large number of mages. Unfortunately, these mages weren't advancing fast enough. Moreover, all the powerful mages had gone to Liang City, so Kushui Prefecture seemed a bit defenseless.
If it weren't for its special location, there wouldn't be much point in conquering it. This place would've been attacked long ago.
When Salin returned, the mage guarding the gate recognized him and was overjoyed.
"Master Salin is back!" A loud shout spread throughout the prince's palace.
The quiet prince's palace instantly became lively. Salin was a level-10 mage. Since he'd come to the prince's palace, he'd have to meet the mages. According to the rules of Kushui Prefecture, Salin had to give them some pointers.
The pointers of a powerful mage were better than magic notes. This was because when a mage explained in person, they were either more specific or more systematic.
Rex wasn't here, so Salin was the master here. These mages were Salin's subordinates. Of course, Salin wouldn't be stingy. He'd definitely teach more than when Rex was here.
Salin knew about this. He'd come to Kushui Prefecture to stay for a few days. This place was close to Holy Rock City. His floating city had been transferred to the border, so he could support Rex at any time. This was his intention.
The mage close to Rex wasn't here. Out of politeness, Salin had to meet Rex's teacher — Heinrich.
Heinrich wouldn't say his name before he advanced to level-9. This was his teacher's request. When he advanced to level-10, his name wouldn't be important anymore. Heinrich was still a nobody. He explained magic problems to the mages in Kushui Prefecture regularly, and only trained in the magic tower.
Salin came to meet Heinrich. In the magic tower that was ten stories high, Salin gave Heinrich a gift.
"Master, thanks to your care back then, I'm where I am today."
Heinrich couldn't refuse Salin's gift. It was a whole box of magic cores. Although Salin's actions were a little too tacky, to a mage, monster cores were indeed indispensable, especially those that were above rank 10. Only Salin could take out so many at once.
"I'll accept it. But I have to make it clear that you're where you are today because of your teacher." Salin was very polite, but Heinrich couldn't be arrogant and take credit.
Salin smiled and didn't insist. Heinrich was right. If it weren't for Jason, he wouldn't be where he was today. Without him, Salin would at most take a lot of detours. When Heinrich taught him, it was just the right time.
"Master." Salin was still respectful. This was Rex's teacher. He couldn't treat himself as someone of the same generation.
"Did you come to Kushui Prefecture for something else?"
"Yes. Kushui Prefecture is the worst defended city out of all the cities Rex and I have. If it weren't for the fact that it's in the center and hasn't experienced war, it would've been conquered long ago."
"Is that so?" Heinrich looked at Salin with a faint smile.
Only then did Salin realize that he had been a little impolite because of his impatience. Seeing Salin's awkwardness, Heinrich said, "You're right. But even if this city is defended, what's the point? The key to dominating the continent is still Jialoulan. "
"There are some places that I don't want to be destroyed. After all, this is where Rex came of age. It's also where she started to implement her ideals. I want this place … "
Salin wanted to say that he wanted this place to be preserved forever, but he suddenly thought of the Abyss King's City. The walls of the Abyss King's City were thicker than any other city walls.
There were many strong people in the Abyss King's City. A general leading an army was a level-18 warrior.
