Neris carefully explored the space of the green bracelet, and found that it was several times bigger than Ainphent's bracelet. The only difference was that the tremolite wasn't hard enough. Even if it was solidified by magic, it couldn't be as strong as Ainphent's bracelet. And Ainphent's bracelet had a level-eight defense spell. Although Neris couldn't use it now, it didn't mean that she couldn't in the future.
The next thing was much simpler. They divided the materials first, and then the alchemy products.
Most of the materials could be found in the Myers Continent. They were divided into four parts. Salin took three, and Rex took one. When dividing the alchemy products, Salin said, "Rex, you take all the swordsman equipment."
Salin wasn't pretending to be generous. Qin Yin was fighting the Vatican, and swordsman alchemy equipment was very useful on the battlefield. In small-scale battles, sometimes one or two high-level weapons could turn the tables. He had a deep grudge against the Vatican. If Qin Yin's army could kill one more person from the Vatican, Salin would feel more at ease.
Rex didn't stand on ceremony. She was going to build a large army in Bitter Water Commandery when she returned. She didn't lack money for soldiers, but high-quality weapons were a bit troublesome. First was the time consumption. It took half a year from mining to making a finished product for a fine steel longsword. Alchemy weapons also needed to be processed in a magic circle, and polished by magic apprentices. Only then could a fine product be made.
Next was manpower. A Magic Shooter might only need two or three days to make an alchemy weapon, but Magic Shooters were rare, and they couldn't make weapons for swordsmen for a long time. This kind of work was done by low-level mages and magic apprentices. The number of low-level mages and apprentices in Bitter Water Commandery was large, but it was still not enough to make alchemy weapons on a large scale.
Apart from swordsmen's equipment, most of them were magicians' equipment. However, Salin was also surprised to see other types of equipment, such as those used by archers and assassins, as well as some ancient professions such as astrologers and wizards.
Shika's eyes lit up. She pointed at a necklace and said, "Sa, Salin!"
"You want this?" Salin picked up the necklace. It was completely made of the bones of magical beasts. Every section was rectangular and white, and there was a faint totem symbol on it.
"Yes." Shika only replied with one word.
Rex smiled. She couldn't use this necklace. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the Bitter Water Commandery, but there had never been a wizard or priest. This profession only existed in a few places on the continent. As the Church's activities expanded, it gradually disappeared.
Salin put the necklace on Shika's neck. The necklace, which had originally looked a little eerie and strange, emitted a bit of vitality after it was put on Shika's neck. Coupled with Shika's slightly heroic face, it immediately looked a lot more natural.
"What is this?" Salin had almost solidified ice-cold vision and could see the changes in the necklace. When the white bone necklace was placed on Shika's neck, it formed a faint connection with Shika. It was as if there was a life within the necklace that was calling out to him.
"This is the legacy of the Battle Priest. It hasn't appeared in a long time." Shika caressed the bone necklace, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.
Rex and Salin laughed and continued to divide up the remaining items. Mages didn't even respect the Gods, so naturally, they wouldn't care about the inheritance of a Battle Priest. Rex was mainly concerned about the things that were useful to Qin Yin's war situation. Salin only wanted Shika to be happy. As for the value of this necklace, he hadn't thought about it yet.
"I want these blank scrolls, and you can have those mage equipment sets. How about that?" Salin pointed at the pile of blank scrolls on the ground.
"Alright." Rex also wanted those scrolls. The hundreds of blank scrolls were all high-quality and could store spells for a long time. But those mage equipment sets were more important to her. There would be a large number of Battle Mages in her army. These magic equipment sets with unique attributes would multiply the combat power of the Bitter Water Army.
Salin directly swept away the hundreds of scrolls and put them into the Bestowal Ring. Salin wasn't burdened by his identity. Improving his personal combat power was the most important thing. Although these hundreds of blank scrolls were single-use items, their value was not lower than those mage equipment sets. Blank scrolls that could store spells above level-seven were very rare on the Myers Continent. This was because there were very few high-level magical beasts and it was very difficult to hunt them.
If Salin got those mage equipment sets, he would at most go back and sell them for gold coins. But it was impossible to use gold coins to buy these high-quality scrolls. Qin Yin's four major business families probably couldn't gather so many.
"These belong to you," Ye Zichen said. Rex pointed at the remaining hundreds of pieces of equipment for special professions. She did have assassins and archers under her command, but the weapons for these two professions were either easy to make or not in high demand. Giving them to Salin could be considered as making up for his loss in weapons.
Neris didn't wait for Salin's reply and started collecting the equipment.
"Let's go up and take a look." Salin shook his head speechlessly. Neris was a contracted creature of the Gu Family. This was not a bad thing. Even if it was a little ugly, it was better to squander. Anyway, the things on this floor couldn't be the most precious. The upper floors were the important ones. If they found the notebook left behind by a level-ten Mage, they wouldn't be able to exchange it even with the items on the entire floor.
The first floor of this magic tower was completely an independent space. If they wanted to go to the second floor, they had to go up from the mezzanine. Rex and Salin came to the front of the building. Salin said, "Enchant me with Ice Pattern Armor."
Rex pursed her lips and smiled. Salin finally lost his temper. It seemed like his pride was playing tricks on him. He didn't want Rex to walk in front anymore. She raised her hand to cast Ice Rune Armor on Salin, and Salin cast a Water Rune Shield on himself. Among the spells below level-six, these were the two strongest single-target defensive spells, even though they were only level-four.
Salin lit up the Fluorescent Spell and stepped onto the stairs. Neris was the last to come out from the first floor of the magic tower. She was a little sneaky. Nobody knew what she had found inside. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her actions, Neris followed behind Shika silently. The four of them walked up with a distance of two meters between them.
Salin was also a little nervous. He didn't know if the second floor had a magic array like the one on the first floor. He simply took out his family badge and held it in his hand. At the same time, he released two miniature Water Pattern Shields in his left hand.
These two Water Pattern Shields had grown a little. Each was the size of two fists. They danced around Salin happily. The water element had modified Salin's body and helped him level up. At the same time, it had modified these two Water Pattern Shields. To be precise, these two Water Pattern Shields had absorbed more than a third of the energy that Salin had absorbed. Moreover, the flow of the elements in these two Water Pattern Shields had also quietly changed. It was very similar to the energy wall that Salin had broken.
The stairs were narrow and spiraled upwards. The Fluorescent Spell emitted a green light that shone on the stone walls on both sides. It was a little eerie. In such a narrow environment, if there was an Elemental Torrent trap in front of them, no one would be able to escape. They could only rely on their magic shields to resist.
Each floor of the magic tower was twelve meters tall. The length of the stairs was a little strange. Salin walked for about two hundred meters before reaching the second floor. The layout here was the same as the first floor, except that the terrifying magic array on the first floor wasn't there.
Salin heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't remove the defense. Still holding the badge in his hand, he pushed the door to the second floor.
The second floor of the magic tower was still a hall. In the center of the hall were dozens of giant crystal test tubes. These crystal test tubes were placed on huge metal shelves. The top of the test tubes was sealed, and there were various colored liquids inside. Salin walked in and stood in front of the giant crystal test tube. He looked inside.
The crystal test tube in front of Salin was filled with translucent red liquid. A magical beast specimen floated in the liquid. This magical beast wasn't big. It had a long tail, and its eyes were tightly shut. Its head was a little disproportionate, and it was covered in dense scales. Its forelegs were slightly thin, and its hind legs were thick and strong. It looked very much like a type of subdragon in the biological encyclopedia.
Rex and the others walked into the second floor of the magic tower. Seeing the test tubes and the magical beasts inside, Rex and Salin understood a little. Indeed, the magical beasts outside had been modified by mages.
Looking through the test tubes one by one, Salin saw dozens of creatures that he had never heard of before. These creatures were similar to some powerful magical beasts, but there were obvious differences.
The owner of this magic tower was indeed insane. He could actually breed so many rare magical beasts. There were probably naturally grown magic arrays in the heads of these magical beasts.
Rex looked at the four walls. Many books were placed on the shelves against the walls of the hexagonal hall. Rex couldn't bear it anymore. He walked over, took down a book, and opened it.
The book was written in Myers language, and it was written with dragon blood ink. High-quality dragon blood ink could preserve the handwriting for tens of thousands of years.
Salin also walked over and took down a book at random. The book he took was filled with many diagrams. These diagrams were mostly of the anatomical structures of magical beasts. There were also a lot of magic formulas beside the diagrams.
Salin was also tempted. These materials recorded how to create magical beasts with special abilities. If he brought these back to the Myers Continent, it would be enough to shock the entire continent.
Those level-4 magical beasts that attacked the camp at the beginning must have been modified. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to spit fireballs and release magic shields. Even if these magical beasts couldn't be controlled, their reproductive value alone was shockingly high.
Salin still remembered the egg-sized magic core of the level-4 magical beast. The energy contained in it was very high. The six magic cores in the brains of the giant beasts in the forest were all as big as pumpkins. Even giant dragons couldn't compare to them.
Artificially bred magical beasts also had magic cores, but they were pitifully small, and the magical beasts themselves had lost their combat power. The magic cores that Rex provided for everyone to train in the Kushui Commandery were like this. Not only did they have little energy, but they were also small and of low value. They weren't suitable for use in battles. Those inferior magic cores were very unstable and couldn't provide power for the magic arrays.
How could they be divided? Salin also wanted these materials. Naturally, Rex needed them even more. She had the Qinyin Empire behind her, which could provide enough financial and material resources to breed such magical beasts on a large scale.
