[First update, still borrowing broadband. Will update soon.]
Salin was stunned by Ojarvis's words. He vaguely understood that Ojarvis was planning to give the magic grid to him instead of losing it to Rex.
If he died, then Rex, as his wife, wouldn't be blamed even if she didn't get the magic grid back for the Qinyin Empire.
"Ojarvis, the magic grid belongs to the Glücos Family. You have no right to give it away." Rex wasn't a fool. She could tell what Ojarvis was thinking.
"How long can a family exist for? The idiots on the Golden Plain think that they can live forever by hiding and accumulating power. They've already lost the will to improve. " There was a hint of mockery in Ojarvis's eyes. A dying man using such a tone to describe the Glücos Family on the Golden Plain was full of sarcasm.
"No matter what, Salin can't take the magic grid. If you give it to him, I'll take it back." Rex objected unexpectedly.
Salin just smiled. Ojarvis said, "My sister, I can still deprive you of your inheritance. Don't forget. I can do a lot of things in six days. No, it's five days now. "Ojarvis's sickly face was filled with determination.
Ojarvis's words surprised Rex. Since when did his younger brother become so assertive?
Salin said, "What's there to worry about, Rex? Are you afraid of Ebola? Or that the nobles won't support you after hearing about this? "
"Neither. I'm afraid you'll have a bad reputation," Rex replied.
"I'm going to write history. If I succeed, no one will remember this by the day I die. Moreover, this magic grid isn't perfect. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when this great idea will become a legend among magicians. "
"The royal magicians will object. Salin, without the support of the royal magicians, we won't be able to control the empire."
Seeing that Salin was still smiling, Rex could only say, "Salin, you can't bring the entire floating city with you."
"Why?"
Rex sighed and said, "With the invasion of the demons' dimension, this underground city can't be defended for too long. When the various parts of the magic grid are almost ready, it will be activated. Once it is activated, all the magic arrays will be activated, and the magic grid will give birth to an artifact spirit. This artifact spirit only recognizes the bloodline of the Glücos royal family. If you bring it to the floating city, I'm afraid it will bring endless trouble to the floating city. Salin, I'm not really afraid of the Royal Mages' objections. If you can subdue this artifact spirit, the Mages' objections will be in vain. "
Salin laughed heartily and said, "It's precisely because I have to subdue this artifact spirit that it'll be easier. Otherwise, I won't be able to move such a huge Magic Grid in a short time."
Rex rebuked, "Don't you know the power of the magic grid? How do we subdue this weapon spirit? "
"Grace, I haven't told you yet, but my floating city has already given birth to an artifact spirit and ignited a Divine Flame."
"What did you say?!" Rex couldn't believe his ears.
"I'll tell you, my floating city's artifact spirit is a False God, a level-thirteen False God.
"You mustn't …" Rex swallowed his words halfway. Salin wouldn't lie to him. Other Mages wouldn't believe in using a god as an artifact spirit, but Rex did. If Salin didn't have such a method, he wouldn't be confident that he could subdue the artifact spirit of the magic grid.
After all, if he really moved the magic grid to the floating city and something happened, Salin would lose his most powerful piece of equipment.
"You see, Sister, Salin can be trusted." Ojarvis let out a long sigh. Rex helped him lean back and put a pillow under his head.
"Salin, the matter of the magic grid is easy. I'm only worried about one thing."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Salin had a good impression of Ojarvis, not because he promised to help him get the magic grid, but because he was Rex's relative.
"My sister wants to build a Mages' Kingdom, but it's going to fail. Therefore, I hope that you can help me and help my country to grow. This will be a long and arduous task. "
Salin was silent. Ojarvis definitely knew that he would help Rex. Why did he bring it up?
"A quarter of the mages in the world are in Alchemy City, the Golden Plains, and the Metatlin Kingdom. The other quarter is mostly concentrated in Qin Yin, in the hands of the nobles, in Holy Rock City, and in my sister's country. Alchemy City will be the first to object to building a Mages' Kingdom. The Golden Plains won't be the second. You'll be facing half of the mages on the continent. Have you thought about it? "
Reputation …
Salin suddenly realized that there was a deeper meaning to this word that Rex said. If he took the magic grid, the mages might not say anything. But if he wanted to resurrect Myer, he would be attacked by the mages.
This was a logical relationship. Because he took the magic grid, the mages would attack him for resurrecting Myer. The latter was something he had to do.
If he had absolute power, reputation didn't matter. The problem was that he only had a quarter of the mages on the continent. And this was the power of the highest-level mages. Low-level mages weren't included in the calculation.
He wanted to build a Mages' Kingdom. If his reputation was ruined, no mages would come to him. If Alchemy City organized a group to attack him and spread the news that he resurrected a god, then his Mages' Kingdom would become an empty shell.
The most dangerous thing in the world was the human heart. If he took the magic grid, the best result would be Alchemy City being destroyed. The worst result would be the royal mages of Holy Rock City rebelling.
"Your Majesty, I've already made arrangements in Kushui Prefecture. If the mages of Holy Rock City aren't willing to accept this, then I'll start in Kushui Prefecture." Salin told Ojarvis his idea.
Ojarvis nodded and said, "I've already given the wealth that belongs to me to my sister. But you can't use it unless one day, you've reached a point where you have no other choice. Although I'm willing to fulfill your wish, I'm also a member of the Glücos family. This wealth is to be used to revive the Qin Yin Empire. "
"Revive?"
"Yes. My sister can control the empire, but she can't be the emperor forever. Even if she survives the most difficult hundred years, she has to hand over her power and let the new emperor take the throne. The new emperor doesn't have the ability to control all of this. "
"Your Majesty, how do you know?" Salin couldn't understand Ojarvis's words at all. Astrology might be able to predict the rise and fall of an empire, but it couldn't predict it in such detail.
"I used my family's secret technique to see many fragments of time." Ojarvis smiled and said, "This may not be accurate, but it will indeed happen. In these fragments, I saw many of you. Only one of you survived. "
Seeing Salin's confusion, Ojarvis said, "My intuition is more accurate than the secret technique. I think that you are the real you. There are countless possibilities in the future, and most of your future is death. There's only a one in ten thousand chance that you'll achieve the great cause of a mage emperor. "
"What kind of great cause is this!"
"If you can turn the Myers Continent into a pure magic continent, isn't that great enough?"
Salin suddenly thought of his Floating-Space City. If the Floating-Space City expanded infinitely, or if the artifact spirit of the Floating-Space City advanced to Level-18, it would be able to provide magic to all the mages on the continent. At that time, even those with poor aptitude would be able to control magic. The entire Myers Continent would be shrouded in the Magic Net.
Just thinking about it was enough to make one excited.
"Salin, you make the decision." Rex no longer objected. If the artifact spirit of the Floating-Space City had become a god, there was still some chance of devouring the artifact spirit of the magic lattice.
Salin looked at Ojarvis and said, "Your Highness, do you know how to use magic?"
"Does Level-0 count?" Ojarvis said in a joking tone.
"Yes." As Salin spoke, he took out his family badge and stuffed it into Ojarvis's hand. "Look at this and release a spell at will. Hold it tight."
Ojarvis looked at Salin's family badge. The mysterious mageweath on it made him feel somewhat familiar. There were quite a few items from the Ancient Era in the royal storehouse.
A Dispel spell was released from Ojarvis's hand. This was a level-0 spell that a magic apprentice could release, and it could only be used against creatures with low mental power. Even though the level of this spell was pitifully low, Ojarvis's mental power was immediately exhausted after releasing it.
Salin's family badge immediately began to frantically absorb everything from Ojarvis, including the elemental poison in his body. Although the elemental poison was fierce, when this magic potion was developed, it wasn't used to kill people. This was a kind of pure mental energy, and if a powerful Mage swallowed it, the effect would be even stronger than directly swallowing divine crystals.
Gulp …
Ojarvis made a strange sound, and Rex was extremely nervous. Salin waved his hand, signaling Rex not to worry. His own family badge wouldn't take someone's life. The pain Ojarvis endured every moment of being invaded by the elemental poison wasn't any better than when he was training his mental power.
"How comfortable …"
After Salin used a Spring Rain, Ojarvis opened his eyes and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. His mental power was basically used up, and Salin's family badge didn't have much to absorb. After absorbing some elemental poison that could be expelled from the body, it stopped.
Ojarvis didn't suffer much, and just as Salin thought, Ojarvis even felt a hint of pleasure.
A Mage once said that when people couldn't bear the pain anymore, they would accept it and turn it into a source of pleasure. This was the masochistic complex in the mental domain.
