"There is no eternal civilization, Salin … Master!" Heinrich emphasized his voice to remind Salin.
Salin could only lower his head and accept the teaching. This was a famous saying of the mages. Salin should not forget it.
But after a moment, Salin raised his head and said to Heinrich, "There is no eternal civilization, but we mages have always been pursuing eternity. Otherwise, why would there be places like Holy Rock City and Alchemy City? Master, anyway … I am very rich now. Just treat it as helping Rex achieve her dream. "
"Dream?"
"Yes, didn't bards describe a utopia? I want Kushui Prefecture to become a utopia. "
"Ha … Hahahaha!" Heinrich laughed.
"It's not funny," Salin said seriously.
"It's funny, but it's only interesting when you do it. Alright, Rex isn't here. She asked me to take care of the city. I only ask that you don't destroy the northern city wall. That's Rex's favorite place."
Salin's face was slightly red. He knew that he was bold and decisive in rebuilding the city. He looked like a nouveau riche. The front wall of Kushui Prefecture was one of the most beautiful buildings Salin had ever seen. The buildings in the city were just as beautiful.
This city did not look like a place for mages to live at all. Instead, it looked like a center of art.
Salin nodded in agreement. He was building this city, and it was not something that could be completed in three to five days. The lightning puppets had become lightning warriors, and their combat power had increased by a hundred times. However, the construction ability was lost. The original puppets could be used as large-scale labor.
The puppets had all kinds of parts that could be used for construction. The current lightning warriors only knew how to kill.
Next, Salin organized a large-scale speech in front of Heinrich's magic tower. This was not a speech by a noble, but a mage imparting knowledge.
All the mages who joined the Kushui Prefecture were qualified to attend the speech.
Salin's speech lasted for a day and a night. Most of it was used to answer the questions raised by the mages. This speech became the most delightful thing in Kushui Commandery, and it continued to be talked about for thousands of years.
Because in this speech, hundreds of mages advanced on the spot. These mages had already accumulated enough Magic Strings, the only thing they lacked was an opportunity to comprehend a higher level of Magic Power.
Salin had given them this opportunity. At the same time, he had also provided them with a large number of magic cores to advance their level. This made the mages extremely grateful.
This was because it was very difficult for most mages to accumulate Advanced Magic Cores. Although the mages were wealthy, the continent was currently at war. Every place was not peaceful, and the price of monster cores had skyrocketed. Some of the originally wealthier mages were unable to afford it for a while.
After imparting the knowledge of magic, Salin gave a real speech. The title of the speech was "Utopia".
Salin did not give a long speech. Instead, he gave all the mages a vivid lesson based on the current situation.
Alchemy City was no longer a paradise for mages. Metatlin City had to endure the trials of countless battles. Mages were not born to fight, but they had no choice but to rely on researching killing skills every day and night to survive.
A mage who didn't know how to fight was worthless. This was wrong.
Salin described his Utopia. In this country, the task of mages was to make everyone's lives more comfortable. Mages did not need to fight for a living. Instead, they had to return to their roots and understand the truth of the world.
Mages, the existence of mages is to understand the truth of the world.
This was the first maxim I learned. The moment I formed the Magic Strings, I knew that this was the truth. Our world needs to be explored. The duty of mages is not to fight!
Salin's words created a strong response among the mages. Most mages did not learn magic for the sake of fighting. Most mages had walked this path because they had seen the wonders of magic with their own eyes.
However, the path of a mage was extremely difficult. Only the persistent could continue.
Just being persistent was not enough. One had to form the Magic Strings to become a true mage. Not everyone could form the Magic Strings.
In the country that Salin described, most people could learn magic. Even if they could not become mages, they could still experience the wonders of magic.
Salin did not deny the significance of mages fighting. In fact, Salin had analyzed that it was war that catalyzed the development of magic.
For example, Cleanse. Originally, it was just a low-level spell that could remove stains. However, in war, it was used to rescue the wounded, maintain large equipment, and so on. Because of specific needs, Cleanse was perfected. It was a level-0 spell that could be upgraded to a level-1 spell.
Looking back, this level-1 Cleanse could instantly clean a huge room, and then create a magic array to keep the room clean forever.
As long as you had money, mages could make your life very beautiful.
Kushui Prefecture was an example. This city had a beautiful environment, but before mages came, it could not even support the hardworking farmers.
Magic turned Kushui Prefecture into a heavenly existence. Mages created transparent rooms that could grow vegetables in the huge rooms. Regardless of whether it was spring, summer, autumn, or winter, the rooms simulated sunlight and darkness, alternating. This allowed the huge rooms to produce vegetables more than ten times a year.
This was just the aspect of food. Clothing, food, housing, and transportation all permeated the life of Kushui Prefecture. There was no corner that magic could not reach, no situation that magic could not change.
The mages of Kushui Prefecture were split into two groups. One group were life mages, and the smaller group were battle mages. Battle mages did not become battle mages because they liked to fight. Most people did not have a choice.
Salin was not just talking. This time, he had come to Kushui Prefecture to turn it into a hedgehog that could not be touched. At the same time, he had to make sure that the appearance of Kushui Prefecture did not change much.
For others, it was difficult, but for Salin, it was easy.
His solution was to build a magic net. The magic net did not affect true mages. If it did, it could only be said that it was easier for mages to obtain elemental power within the range of the magic net. This was equivalent to stealing some power from the magic net. Stealing power was different from using magic towers. The magic net could not reject it.
Salin wasn't doing this to curry favor with anyone. Apart from Rex's ideals, he had other intentions. The continent would become more and more turbulent. All kinds of plane passages would open, and strange creatures would invade. Humans needed a safe environment.
This kind of psychological need was huge. If Salin could build a place that was purely defensive, it would attract countless people who were seeking refuge. These people might not be useless. They were just tired of killing.
If these people were not gathered, many would be forced by fate to go to the battlefield. Some of them might even become Salin's enemies. Salin was doing this to arrange a safe zone in the middle of the continent, giving humans a chance to rest.
There would be many talented people in this place. Salin did not need them to go to the battlefield. He only needed to use their brains to create a powerful magic civilization.
To Salin, he did not need these mages to research killing weapons. He only needed to create daily necessities. From these creative ideas, he could naturally dig out valuable things.
He had enough Necromancers to reason, to develop new spells, new weapons. These Manipulators did not know how to create, but they could learn by analogy. In a sense, the ideal country could still provide powerful combat power for Salin.
The modification project was huge, but Salin did not affect life in Kushui Prefecture at all. He had Neris summon demons, and the Winged Skeleton summon spirits. All construction began underground.
In Daliang City, he had suffered an assassination, which left a deep impression. So, layers of defensive magic matrices were laid under the ground of Kushui Prefecture. Alchemy City's method was used by Salin. All the underground magic matrices used the interlayer method. Magic matrices were laid in heavy stones, and the matrices were connected to the magic net of the city.
The magic net laid this time was different from what Salin had built before. Salin gathered the center of the magic net together and built a tall building. The material for this building was a treasure left to him by the goddess.
A piece of Thundercloud Wood more than a hundred meters long.
Thundercloud Wood was a high-level material from the Giant Plane. It could grow to a height of thousands of meters. If it was not cut down, this kind of wood could even grow out of the clouds. It would not be damaged by natural lightning.
Such a tall Thundercloud Wood would naturally be very thick. Salin simply buried the Thundercloud Wood underground and used water flames to forge it with the magic net. The part above ground was slowly forged into a tall building.
This building was completely made of wood and was stronger than steel. It was more than 120 meters tall and had a total of 18 floors. This was the center of the magic net of the entire Kushui Prefecture. The first thing Salin set up in the magic net was the Icicle Spell he had learned. This Icicle Spell could not release electricity, but because of the lightning mageweath, it was unusually sharp and did not fear the temperature of fire magic.
What Salin stored in the magic net was compound magic. A powerful Manipulator could form 1200 icicles at once and attack at the same time.
The building was not decorated. Salin left it to those who came later. From the outside, this building was just a playground among the palaces. But the Thundercloud Wood that Salin had forged was enough to resist high-level magic attacks. There was no need for any magic shield.
The materials used for this building alone were enough to make most Mages in this world go bankrupt.
So Salin mocked himself for being a nouveau riche. Normal people would not be so extravagant just to hide the violent nature of this building. He could totally use metal to build the tower. It was both strong and cheap.
