Fourth Update.
Being an emperor wasn't bad. On the contrary, being an emperor could control all the resources of the country and solve the most basic problem of cultivating magic.
None of the powerful mages were poor.
The founding emperor of the First Dynasty was the most powerful mage. He could use all the spoils of war from the dynasty's conquest at will. This made it relatively easy for him to learn and craft any equipment he wanted.
However, too many people coveted the position of emperor. Rex faced many obstacles when he was a king. As for the emperor, the parliament would definitely stop him in secret and share power.
Salin was a prince now, but he didn't want to be restricted. This messenger was so arrogant. He would definitely ask for conditions that he couldn't accept.
That was good. He would kill whoever came and see how the Golden Plains would handle it.
Of course, this had to do with him taking away the magic grid. The magic grid had been given to him by Ojarvis. The people of the Golden Plains couldn't cause trouble for Rex.
In the past, he'd always been cautious and wouldn't take risks. The people of the Golden Plains thought he was easy to bully, so they sent this guy to make him give in.
Salin wouldn't give in. He was Jason's student and had learned to move forward bravely. Without this kind of courage, how would he be able to overcome the many bumps in the road ahead?
He couldn't even take a step back on this matter. The magic grid had been given to him by Ojarvis. If they wanted it back, they could go to Ojarvis.
Now that Ojarvis was dead, Salin didn't mind giving those who didn't want to go to him a ride. Of course, when he had the ability to revive Ojarvis in the future, he definitely wouldn't help them.
Thinking of this, Salin was in a good mood.
However, Sicar had brought his child there. Salin couldn't wait like the mages on Seriger Island. He had to find a way to go to the demiplane. Salin hadn't thought of a way yet. However, he had hundreds of thousands of Necromancers. These Necromancers might not be creative, but their calculation abilities weren't much different from normal mages.
Salin had to calculate a space tunnel, even if it could only allow one person to go in and out.
Salin couldn't sit in Metatlin City and wait. His child was in the Demiplane, so Salin had to personally go and see what had happened.
Raphael didn't quite understand this. It was so easy for humans to have children, unlike gods. If they wanted to have children, not only would they have to pay the price of a drop in power level, but they would also have to spend a lot of time.
Even though Salin was now a level-11 wizard, it was still a thousand times easier for him to have a child than a god. But Salin also valued children a thousand times more than the gods.
At the very least, the gods would not take such a risk for their children. Passing through an unfamiliar space channel was much more difficult than being born from the mother's womb.
"Salin, is it worth it to do this?"
Salin glanced at Raphael and said, "Of course it's worth it. I've already sacrificed a thousand years of my life for these two children."
"Just like … me and those metal angels?"
"The difference is, for these two children, I am willing to do anything."
"But you rarely accompany them. Don't humans need to accompany their children as they grow up?"
Raphael's words made Salin's heart ache. Before he had these two children, Salin thought of his own childhood and secretly made up his mind to not let his children spend their childhood alone, and to spend as much time with them as possible.
"I didn't do it well in the past. I won't do it again in the future."
Salin returned to the floating city with an ugly expression. Seeing Salin return, Nelis was originally very happy. Hearing that Silva had taken the children to the Demiplane, and there was no news from them, Nelis also became anxious.
Salin tried to contact Rex, but didn't directly mention about Silva. Salin just wanted Rex to come to Metatlin City.
Rex said, "The teleportation array between Sacred Rock City and Metatlin City isn't built yet."
Salin immediately felt that something was wrong. With the Golden Plains' strength, the teleportation array between the same plane could be built in an hour. There was no need to collect any materials at all.
But Rex didn't add any suggestive words, which made Salin feel a lot more at ease. This meant that although Rex was in a bad situation, she could still handle it, and it wasn't too dangerous.
Right now, she could only take care of the children.
Rex couldn't leave Sacred Rock City, so she couldn't bring the Divine Sieve Ring over. She also couldn't give this ring to anyone.
Salin suddenly thought that before he left, Rex and his followers became enemies. He probably knew that this would happen in advance. If his followers were by Rex's side, the conflict would probably be very intense now, and it would be irreversible.
How troublesome. How much effort did it take to maintain the position of an emperor? This time was enough for a mage to advance a few ranks.
Salin could only sigh. This kind of life was Rex's choice. The quarrel between him and Rex was real. He wanted to cut the Gordian knot and work with the Iron Blood Grand Duke to chase the forces of the Golden Plains out of Sacred Rock City.
Rex refused firmly, saying that Qin Yin's land must not be given to the Cloud Flow people.
After Rex solved the problem of the Golden Plains, he would probably immediately deal with the Iron Blood Grand Duke.
In Salin's opinion, it was better to let the Iron Blood Grand Duke be some emperor, and Rex could focus on managing the Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom. After the Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom became a kingdom of mages, no dynasty could stop it.
Salin's idea was very simple. He would use his advantage to set up a magic net that could be activated at any time. The magic nets were connected by sturdy castles, and the castles were huge magic towers. This way, the entire Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom would be filled with mages.
The mages would be the support of the magic net, and the mages would fight. Salin couldn't think of any way to conquer such a kingdom. The Iron Blood Grand Duke could at most be proud for a hundred years. When the magic net was big enough, he would scram from Qin Yin's land.
But Rex didn't give up an inch. Salin could understand, but he felt that this was not in line with Rex's previous principles.
At this time, Rex was in the palace of Sacred Rock City. There were only a dozen court mages around him, and they all looked worried. Salin definitely knew his situation. The Golden Plains had actually sent a large number of people to help him rebuild Sacred Rock City. This wasn't a good thing. The nobles in the parliament had actually been bribed by these mages to join forces against him.
More accurately, these people wanted him to compromise and become the emperor of Glycos instead of Metatlin's wife.
The magic grid had to be taken back. Before Rex heard this request, the emissary had already left.
The two sides hadn't reached the point of falling out yet. At least, Ebola hadn't appeared personally to ask for the spatial coordinates of the teleportation formation in Metatlin City. With the spatial coordinates, the mages could forcefully teleport over and launch a surprise attack.
If Ebola rushed over alone, he would cause serious trouble for Metatlin City.
Luckily, the court mages were still willing to support him. If they didn't, these court mages wouldn't be able to return to the magic grid in the future. Also, the relationship between the court mages and the Golden Plains had always been terrible.
This was planned by Emperor Qin Yin, who had founded the empire. A thousand-year conflict would never be resolved for the sake of immediate benefits. If it wasn't for the huge group of court mages, Rex reckoned that he would have completely lost the ability to control Sacred Rock City. At least, the Golden Plains couldn't interfere with the reconstruction of the royal swordsman camp and the organization of the palace guards. These were all taken care of by the court mages.
Salin knew that he was in a bad situation. According to Salin's current way of doing things, he wouldn't simply cut off the connection. Instead, he would directly come to Sacred Rock City with his floating city and force the Golden Plains to retreat.
Something must have happened on Salin's side.
Perhaps, Salin would only do this if something happened to Silva. Because Silva was the mother of two children, it was more likely that something had happened to Salin's children too. Could it be that something had happened to him in the demiplane?
Rex didn't have Salin's calculative ability. Even if he did, Salin's astrology couldn't calculate it, much less an elemental mage. The secret skills of the Glücos family were never good at calculation. The only skill that could predict the future was the secret skill that Ojarvis had learned. However, after learning this secret skill, one would only be left with three to five months at most. Even a god wouldn't be able to stop this death.
Rex was definitely not going to learn this secret skill. She had the urge to drop everything and go find Salin.
If she could live like Silva, wouldn't she be much happier than she was now? The quarrel between her and Salin was really meaningless. Salin might be right, but she would never betray her territory, even if it was a temporary concession.
The Glücos family had never produced such a person. Not a single one. Even though Sephiroth was disheartened, he still went to his own country to prepare for a possible attack from Alchemy City.
Hence, although his father was one of the top three emperors in Qin Yin's history, he was only rated as average in the history books. This was because Great Emperor Charnak took risks for his daughter and forgot his responsibility as an emperor.
Rex didn't care about the records in the history books, but Master Merlin's prophecy said that she would destroy the Qin Yin Empire. She couldn't let this prophecy come true. This was a battle between a mage and an astrologer. It had started since the day Rex was born.
Rex didn't want to win Merlin, but fate.
If a mage went with the flow and let fate decide, what was the point of learning magic?
A huge magic sequence was formed on the floating city. This was the result of all the Manipulators' calculations. The huge numbers kept changing as new data was added. The Manipulators' calculations weren't wrong. Everything was under the control of the God of the Weave.
If it was wrong, it could only be due to the original data.
