[Looks like there's no hope for the monthly vote. Old D doesn't have a full attendance or a monthly vote, yet he still has to pretend to be happy and play with the divine beast …]
Sephiroth frowned. "Although the things made by Mages are good, it's inevitable that they have some tricks up their sleeves …"
He was pointing at the heart of a Mage. Generally speaking, no one would say this in front of a Mage.
Sarlin laughed. Sephiroth didn't know what Sarlin was laughing about. Sarlin suddenly said, "Raphael!"
Raphael appeared behind Sarlin with a green spear in his hand. He stabbed it straight at Sephiroth's throat. Sephiroth's reaction was fast enough, but when he pulled out his longsword, Raphael's spear had already brushed past his neck.
The tip of the spear shot out and pierced a hole in the wall of the study. Sunlight shone through the hole and shone on the table, right in front of Sephiroth's eyes.
The two Mages were shocked, but Sephiroth waved his hand to calm them down.
He looked at the sunlight on the table and laughed. Sarlin's subordinate was actually a strong person who surpassed level-11. Although he was only level-10, ordinary level-11 warriors were no match for him.
He couldn't even react when this woman stabbed him with her spear. This was the best chance for Sarlin to kill him.
The walls of the study were made of fine steel, and some magic metals were added to it. Even a large alchemy crossbow might not be able to shoot a hole through it. This woman's spear was also a powerful piece of equipment.
"Your Highness, it seems that you haven't made up your mind yet. We'll work together. You have to trust me. I'll come back tomorrow. Let's call it a day, "Sarlin said as he pushed the armor on the table forward and left the study.
Before he left, he looked back at Sephiroth.
Sephiroth felt as if he had been struck by lightning. On Sarlin's forehead, an illusory eye opened and stared at Sephiroth.
Sarlin couldn't help but use the power of the Chapter of Silence. He could feel Sephiroth's strength. If this person advanced again, his combat power would probably be close to Raphael's.
Sephiroth sat behind the table in a daze. He felt that all his secrets had been seen through by Sarlin. His unique secret technique could call on the power of the dead.
All the soldiers who had died in battle were providing him with this ability. On the battlefield, the more people that died, the stronger one would become. However, this kind of strength had a limit …
Salin was shocked to see that there were two hearts in Sephiroth's body.
It was only when the Chapter of Silence was activated that Salin realized this. These two hearts usually beat intermittently, making it difficult for people to detect.
Sephiroth's talent was really strange. Salin also saw Sephiroth's weakness, which was his two hearts. One of them contained the power of the dead.
Even if Sephiroth didn't die, he wouldn't be able to cast any more skills if his power was defeated by a Holy item.
The Purification Spell was designed to deal with this kind of power.
It would be the same if his Thunder Dragon Spear pierced through.
Salin was much more relieved. He could provide Sephiroth with equipment that could resist purification, but this equipment was also his trump card.
If Sephiroth became his enemy, this equipment would be useless.
After Salin left, Sephiroth felt that his heavy clothes were soaked through. When Salin had tested this skill with his teacher, he didn't hide anything, so Jason knew that Salin had stopped time.
This time, Sephiroth and the two 10th-rank Magisters didn't know what was going on. Salin didn't use the Chapter of Silence to its fullest. He just wanted to see Sephiroth's weakness.
After seeing it, Salin didn't have anything to worry about. He could use the Chapter of Silence to kill Sephiroth in one blow. Any offensive skills that Sephiroth knew would be meaningless.
"My Lord …" One of the Magi called out hesitantly. Although Salin didn't look at him, the two Magi were shocked by what he saw.
What kind of ability was that? It was as if Salin's gaze was the only thing in the world. In that instant, the two Magi couldn't see or hear anything. They felt naked, as if they had returned to the time when they were still apprentices.
This feeling was rather painful. Salin didn't know that this was a side effect of the Chapter of Silence's time ability — Courage Deprivation.
This was even more powerful than the Thunder Intimidation. The Thunder Intimidation could be resisted with one's own mental strength.
However, the deprivation of courage would cause one's soul to tremble from the very core.
"Speak." Sephiroth calmed down. The hole in the wall was still there. Even if that female Warrior didn't ambush him, he wouldn't be a match for Salin's subordinate. Salin was saying, I don't have to go through so much trouble to kill you.
He wanted to hear the Magi's opinion now. If he rejected Salin, he would die at most. With Salin's temper, he might not attack him.
"My Lord, you don't have to return to Sacred Rock City. Otherwise, Salin will keep asking for your cooperation. Why don't we just do it here? "
"Here?"
"Salin has a powerful navy. My Lord can control the nobles in the House of Commons and have them cooperate with Salin. If my Lord isn't in Sacred Rock City, no one will care. We can train the navy here. "
"What's there to train?"
"My Lord, the navy is the most expensive military. Didn't Salin say that he would support you? We'll know his sincerity by seeing how much he's willing to spend. If he just wants to control you … "
"So what? I'm no match for him," Sephiroth replied indifferently.
The two Magi panicked and said, "My Lord, you still have many subordinates in the capital. They're all counting on you. It's fine if Rex is the Emperor. If the forces of the Golden Plains chase him away, everyone will be doomed. "
The Magi didn't care anymore and spoke his mind. Everyone didn't dislike Rex. On the contrary, Sephiroth's subordinates were more afraid that the people of the Golden Plains would interfere with the palace affairs.
Sephiroth was silent. Salin was too domineering. With his personality, he wouldn't submit. But the people of the Golden Plains were becoming more and more obvious. Although Rex had the ability to govern the country, he had just inherited the throne. There were too many things to do. It was inevitable that he would make mistakes.
Salin was right. If he lured the Druidic Faith in and controlled an army, he could fight against the Golden Plains.
In the past, Sephiroth wouldn't have thought this way. But it was different now. The Golden Plains had started to refuse to provide free help to the royal family.
If the Golden Plains became another Alchemy City, the building of the empire would collapse.
His brother's empire …
The Glycos bloodline of the Golden Plains was very far away from the Emperor. In the past two hundred years, the Qinyin Empire had a shortage of successors. The bloodline was almost extinct.
No matter how much Sephiroth disliked Rex, he hoped that Rex would have a child soon so that the royal bloodline wouldn't be lost. In the thousands of years of the empire, this bloodline had always controlled the palace.
When Salin came again the next day, Sephiroth had indeed changed the list. This time, he added a fleet, a thousand sets of magic armor, and a large number of mid-level magic cores.
Salin looked at the list and smiled at Sephiroth. "What, Your Highness has thought it through?"
"Yes, I'm counting on you to give birth to children for the empire," Sephiroth replied impatiently.
Salin was a bit embarrassed. "I'll try my best. But your list is too …"
"I'll pay."
"It's not about money. I can give you a discount. After the discount, you can even buy some on credit. Your Highness, maybe you haven't realized that your territory is actually very important, right? "
"Important?" Sephiroth wanted to curse. In a place like this, farming and fishing couldn't be done. The trees in the mountains weren't useful either. There weren't many magical beasts to hunt.
"This place should be close to the secret base of Alchemy City."
"What do you mean?"
"Alchemy City is now occupied by the half-dead and a bone dragon. The sorcerers of Alchemy City have already moved out. Although I didn't catch up, I know that the sorcerers have all gone deep into the mountains in the south. I roughly calculated with astrology. It should be to the east of your territory, no more than two thousand miles away. "
"Alchemy City!" Sephiroth almost spat out the word through gritted teeth. He believed what Salin said. Alchemy City destroyed Pompey.
A person like Salin wouldn't deny what he had done.
"Your territory is very important. It might be targeted by the sorcerers of Alchemy City. So, I plan to invest."
"Investment?" Sephiroth was even more amused. Salin was a king, the husband of the emperor, and a powerful sorcerer. Yet, he spoke like a businessman.
"I want to build a temple here, the temple of the Goddess of Nature. I will send priests. There will be about a hundred followers, and dozens of demons, maybe the dead. These people will be stationed in your city and won't preach. They will just stay here obediently. "
"What's the price?"
"If you allow this, then I will provide you with a fleet for free. I will give you a discount for the other fleet. You just have to pay half the price." Salin calculated in his heart. This way, he wouldn't be earning a single gold coin. It didn't matter. Wool always came from the sheep.
"My port can't accommodate two fleets. Salin, how about you just give me one fleet for free? "
Sephiroth also knew that shipbuilding was a highly profitable industry, but he didn't have the ability to build powerful warships. If he started, the fleet would probably be sunk by the people of Cloud Flow as soon as it was launched.
"No, no, no. Your Highness, I will help you develop the port. I am a sorcerer. It's not difficult to dig deeper and widen the port. Also, your fleet needs help to train. I will send two fleets over until your army can drive magic warships and fight alone. "
This was very obvious. Not only did Salin want to build a temple here, but he also wanted to station troops here.
