[Third Update]
"Raphael, how long has it been?" Salin asked. Raphael didn't understand why Salin would ask him, even though he had the magic clock.
"It's been two hundred and six days since I entered the Magic Tower," Raphael replied.
Salin was shocked and asked, "What about them?"
Salin was, of course, his followers, as well as Scica and Rex.
"Scica is in charge of the floating city. She commands Neris and Bing, and no one else can command her. Rex has become the emperor, and Ojarvis is dead. Rex sent someone to invite you to the funeral, but I stopped him. "
Ojarvis is dead?
Salin felt surreal. The young man who spoke so confidently seemed to have seen through fate. Salin thought that such a person would live forever, even longer than the gods.
Of course, this was just a fantasy. Even the gods couldn't live forever. Did this young emperor really want him to resurrect him at the end of his life? Or was he just using this method to make people remember him?
When, when did his Magic Strings grow to such an extent? Salin's mind wandered. He realized that he had advanced, and it had happened without any warning. There were no special circumstances that had happened.
It was no wonder that Raphael had a hard time fighting him just now. He could use more Rule Bending Power, and with the power of his equipment, Raphael would not really kill him. As a result, Raphael was unable to unleash his full strength.
"Your followers have all returned to the floating city. They don't seem to be happy with Rex," Raphael added.
"It's okay. Rex has his ways," Salin said. He opened the Magic Tower and walked out with Raphael. There really was someone waiting for him outside the door of the seventeenth floor.
"Salin, I've advanced!" Eleanor's face was full of joy.
"Eleanor, I've advanced too." Salin grinned, in a great mood.
Eleanor's advancement was the most difficult, and he finally understood why. That was because Eleanor borrowed a human body, and when the human body's level was too low, the soul was outside. It was a mysterious parallel space that couldn't be calculated by distance.
Planes could be reached by flying, but this parallel space could not be reached unless one could fly faster than light. This involved even more profound magic theories. Another secret spell of the crystal wall also mentioned it, but Salin still couldn't understand the way it was described.
This was the difference in how two completely different civilizations expressed things. It wasn't that Salin was too stupid. It was just that the things he had been taught since he was young were completely different from the description of the other crystal wall system.
"It's true! I can't tell. " Eileen used her green eyes to observe Salin for a while, but she still could not see any signs of advancement. Salin's advancement didn't seem to change at all.
"Eleanor, I was just looking for you." Salin took out his Star Pattern Suit and placed it in Eleanor's hands.
"This …"
"I've already forged the Thunder Equipment Set, so I can't use this Star Equipment Set anymore. Although I have many Mages around me … I don't feel comfortable letting this equipment fall into the hands of others. You can use it."
Eleanor agreed and turned to leave.
Salin was baffled. He didn't realize that the Star Equipment Set had always been worn by him. Letting Eleanor wear it was too ambiguous. He had the brain of a Mage, so he wouldn't consider such things. To a Mage, a Cleanse spell could make any piece of clothing as good as new.
Actually, it was the same for Eleanor. Even if it was something taken from a dead person, she wouldn't have any qualms about it. It was just that after following Salin for so long, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Salin thought that Eleanor had gotten a treasure and hurried back to change. He had felt the same way before.
Raphael couldn't understand this. She was a combat weapon, and her feelings were only at the level where she wanted to take care of the metal angels. Those metal angels had been with her for hundreds of thousands of years. She couldn't bear to part with them.
After giving the Star Equipment Set to Eleanor, Salin walked to the upper floors of the Mage Tower. Shika was on the 24th floor. He seemed to be stuck in some difficult problem, and his brows were furrowed.
When Salin entered the 24th floor, Shika didn't even raise his head. Instead, he closed the door of the Mage Tower. Raphael was fast enough and squeezed in. Shika didn't mind.
"Salin, I'm afraid the fusion of the magic grid will be a little difficult."
"What?"
Shika finally raised his head. "The magic grid has already been collected by the God of the Weave. It's been a month, but there hasn't been any progress."
Salin said, "That's simple …"
At this point, he felt that something was wrong. His plan was to bring the floating city to the Abyss King's City. There, the God of the Weave could use his power as he pleased, and he wouldn't be punished by the laws of the plane.
But something as big as the floating city couldn't be stored in spatial equipment.
If he brought the floating city to the Abyss King's City, he would definitely be attacked.
Salin now had a general understanding of the magic arrays in the Abyss King's City. They would release attacks that were one or two levels higher than the intruder. When he was Level-9, he would encounter attacks around Level-10. If he flew the floating city, he would encounter attacks from magic arrays around Level-14.
This was a way to save energy. If the magic arrays were operated by someone, they would be able to control the energy consumption better.
"Hey, since they've been collected, we'll have to wait for a while to fuse them. How's Rex? "
Seeing that Salin wasn't in a hurry, Shika said, "How can it be? The good news is that Sacred Rock City has been repaired well. Apart from the magic clock, all the facilities have been restored."
"The bad news?"
"The Vatican has organized another army. They're marching east from Jialoulan."
"Their target is Nature City, right?"
"Yes. This time, the Vatican's marching is very slow. It'll take them about two to three months to reach Nature City."
"What about Sephiroth?"
"He's gone to the south. He won't go back to Sacred Rock City for his own land."
To the south? Salin quickly calculated in his mind. Alchemy City's mages would probably still be active in the south. Alchemy City and Sephiroth weren't on good terms. Although they had worked together, they were Sephiroth's true enemy. Since Sephiroth was willing to let Rex become emperor, even if he was disheartened, he wouldn't let Qin Yin fall.
Sephiroth would probably be in danger if he went to the south. However, the Vatican's army was advancing slowly this time, showing their steadiness and determination. The Vatican no longer wanted to defeat Qin Yin in one go. Instead, they started with Nature City.
With Nature City, it would be much easier to bewitch believers. As long as the Vatican had money and food, they could bewitch as many believers as they wanted. The Vatican claimed to have 100 million believers. Salin didn't believe it, but they definitely had 20 to 30 million. A large number of believers was the Vatican's most direct power.
Using this power, the Vatican could indeed flatten Jialoulan slowly and return to Qin Yin. Qin Yin's Sacred Rock City had just been repaired, and the north couldn't manage it. The Ironblood Duke couldn't spit out the land he'd taken. Salin still had an alliance with the Ironblood Duke, but now that Rex had become emperor, there was a problem with the alliance.
Salin thought of so many problems, but they couldn't be solved right now.
"Sicar, wait for me. I'm going to see Rex."
Sicar didn't say anything. If Salin wanted to see Rex alone, it definitely wasn't to say anything intimate. There was probably something difficult to discuss. Sicar also knew about the matter between Salin and the Ironblood Duke. If Rex attacked the Ironblood Duke now, would Salin go back on the alliance?
If he didn't attack, what would the Qin Yin nobles think of this?
Seeing that Raphael didn't move, Salin called, "Raphael, bring a hundred angels and follow me."
"Okay." Raphael hurried out of the Magic Tower and came to the ground of the floating city. The floating city didn't float on top of Sacred Rock City. Instead, it was dozens of miles away. The floating city was larger than Sacred Rock City. If it floated above, it would block all the sunlight and make Sacred Rock City always dark.
Even if Rex became emperor, Sicar wouldn't do that. That would be too unlucky.
Salin didn't even disappear for a moment before hurrying back. Seeing Salin's bad expression, Sicar knew that there was a problem with his communication with Rex.
"Salin, should I go talk to her?"
"No, she has a point. But … come with me to the Abyss King City. Only by combining the magic grid will I have absolute power to defeat the army of the Church."
"You go first. Contact me at any time. I'll go back to Metatlin and take care of the child." Sicar didn't agree to go immediately. Salin nodded in agreement. There was an indescribable sadness in his heart.
He was running around everywhere, and couldn't even take care of the child. Although the argument with Rex just now was about the matter itself, it was also the first time that the two of them had shown their intense conflict.
It was very difficult to understand each other, especially under all kinds of pressure. Salin and Rex both had their own problems that they couldn't solve. Another common problem was the contract with the goddess.
These things made it so that the two of them couldn't have a moment of leisure. How could they have time to communicate?
Was the trip to the demiplane the last time they were close?
Sicar returned to Metatlin through the teleportation array in the Magic Tower. Salin let Lawson control the floating city and quickly headed north. The artifact spirit of the floating city had advanced to become a god, and its flying speed had reached an astonishing five hundred miles. In a day, the floating city could fly more than thirteen thousand miles. Although the Abyss King City was far away, it wouldn't take Salin a week.
It was just that the last part of the journey had to be underwater. It was impossible for something as huge as the floating city to maintain this speed underwater.
