[Second Update]
"Then continue being your emperor. Are these people in danger?" Salin's gaze penetrated the domain and observed the people around Rex.
"Not yet. It's a tough bone to swallow up Cloud Flow in the Golden Plain. They need my influence. If they rely on themselves, the nobles will disperse. "
"I'll take action when I'm needed. But for now, I have to go to the Tanggulas Empire."
"Salin, you don't have to force it. There are still more than nine hundred years to the contract," Rex said tiredly with a thin body.
"How can there be a result if I don't force it? To be honest, I'm attacking the Sacred City to lure the warden out. If he's hiding on the Black Prison Island, I won't dare to find trouble with him. "
"Before Ojarvis died, he said … In two years at most, the Myers Continent will erupt with great power again, and the entire plane will advance. Salin, you have to be careful. If the Myers Continent no longer restricts the appearance of people above level 12, then the warden … "
"Don't worry. If I can't beat him, I'll escape." Salin laughed.
This was his strategy in the past. Now, it was just to comfort Rex.
One had to know that the reason why he could advance so quickly was because he had received Jason's teachings and had an incomparably firm heart. If the warden was in the Black Prison, he wouldn't throw his life away if the difference in level was too great. If the warden dared to fight on the Floating-Space City, he still had four level-13 powerhouses and hundreds of thousands of Necromancers by his side. He might be able to fight.
Rex didn't expose Salin's words. She also knew that at Salin's level, he could only advance and not retreat. Life was really strange. When they were weak, everyone had many choices. When you become a powerhouse, the things you can choose from will become fewer.
"How many people do you have around you?" Salin changed the topic. He wanted to talk about something more practical.
"Most of my power is in Great Liang City. Now, Kushui Prefecture is actually managed by you. They're all low-level mages, so I can only look at them from the perspective of development. On the side of the royal mages, there are about 100 powerhouses, which is one-tenth of the Golden Plain. So I have to be cautious now. If I do something that people can use against me, I might lose my position. "
"Then, when will your secret technique advance?"
"When the Myers Continent advances, I can directly jump from Rank 10 to Rank 12. Advancing won't be a problem. I am accumulating strength in preparation for the rank of Rank 13. During this time, I can't lose the throne."
Salin thought for a moment and said, "Sephiroth is my ally now. He can be used and trusted. I gave him twenty thousand insect angel warriors to hide in South Town. The soldiers of South Town have also been replaced by many of my men. When you need to protect yourself, mobilize the troops from South Town. You can no longer rely on West Town and North Town. "
"If they are unreliable, I will send them to the frontline," Rex said coldly.
"Then, are they all your people, or …"
"Salin, what does an emperor do? He makes people sacrifice for you." Rex spoke the truth. If she wanted to achieve her dream, she had to completely control the Empire. In the current Empire, only the southwestern nobles were truly of one mind with her.
"Alright, if you like it …" Salin couldn't continue. It wasn't that Rex liked his current life, but that he was forced to this point by fate.
"Salin, you used to not think about these things as long as you could live." There was no tenderness in Rex's eyes. There was only reminiscence of the past.
Salin's heart ached. It felt empty, as if something had been taken away. Was Rex blaming him? Blaming him for never coming to Sacred Rock City to help, and only knowing to move forward and walk to higher places.
There was no end to the path of a mage. If they continued like this, would they become strangers?
No. They had faced life and death together in the past. They wouldn't become strangers. However, the feeling now was even worse than that of a stranger.
He had persuaded Rex not to be an emperor, but Rex had never persuaded him to come here and be some bullsh * t prince.
"Salin, don't be sad. We chose this path. How can I blame you alone?" Rex smiled faintly and said, "If you want to help me, it's not impossible."
"How can I help you?" Salin couldn't think of how he could help Rex. If the Golden Plains wanted to go all out, they would have to pay a price. For example, the Golden Plains' expenditure in terms of supplies was many times higher than when Great Emperor Chanak was still alive.
"I need some of the attribute-less crystals you mentioned last time. I don't need a lot, but they must be of high quality. I want to make a special armor."
"Armor? I have an alchemy factory. If I really can't do it, I can ask Teacher for help! "
"No, I'm using a secret technique. It's only suitable for me. What you can help me with is to use your water flame to make the shape for me. I'll give you the blueprint. You have to take your time. You just have to succeed in two years," Rex said softly. Rex said softly. Outside the Thunder Domain, Jia Lin watched Salin and Rex's conversation and sneered inwardly.
Did Salin really think he was important? If he wasn't Rex's husband, the Golden Plains would have killed him long ago.
Salin seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for the people of the Golden Plains. After opening the domain, he chatted with Rex for more than ten hours without any intention of stopping.
In the Golden Plains, apart from Mages, there were also Warriors. Mages could eat and drink, which was inconvenient, but these Warriors couldn't. One of the golden sword saints said angrily, "That Salin …"
Before he could finish, Salin's voice came from the domain. "Is my name for you to call?"
Before he finished, a lightning icicle shot straight at the golden sword saint's heart. Jia Lin didn't move. She wanted to see if Salin dared to kill someone because of a sentence.
If he dared, she would think more highly of him.
The lightning icicle was too fast. The Mages couldn't fight back and could only defend. More than ten magic barriers were erected in front of the golden sword saint. The lightning icicle was like an alchemy crossbow that shot through layers of paper, but still locked onto the golden sword saint's heart.
Only then did the golden sword saint react. His longsword flashed and slashed at the lightning icicle. A dozen powerful Mages defended him with magic shields, which gave him a brief moment of life.
The golden sword aura on the longsword shattered, and the longsword collapsed like sand.
The golden sword saint felt that his hand had been hit by an electric current. He was completely numb. Only then did he realize how terrifying Salin was. Salin had definitely wanted to kill him with that move.
At this moment, Salin dispersed his domain and walked toward the golden sword saint.
The surrounding Mages didn't know whether to attack or not. If they attacked, they wouldn't be able to get what they wanted in the Golden Plains safely. If they didn't attack, Salin would shoot another lightning icicle, and the golden sword saint would be dead for sure.
Would they watch Salin kill someone in front of them?
Salin looked at the golden sword saint. He was only thirty years old, which was considered young among sword saints. Generally speaking, sword saints wouldn't deliberately maintain their appearance. They would age with time. This sword saint was no exception. He should be considered a powerful Warrior.
If it were in the past, he wouldn't have dared to come so close and look down on someone who had a golden sword aura.
"I'm in a bad mood today, so forget it. If you do it a second time when I'm in a good mood, no one can protect you. And you guys, I don't care what Ebola says. Rex is my woman. If you make her unhappy, I'll make the entire Golden Plain unhappy. I'll fly the floating city over and drop countless poisonous stones every day. You guys can enjoy it. "
With that, Salin flicked his sleeves and left.
Jia Lin froze for a moment, then understood what Salin meant. Salin said that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't kill anyone. He was too lazy to vent his anger. If someone ruined Salin's mood when he was in a good mood, Salin wouldn't go easy on them.
What an interesting way to put it. Killing someone when he was in a good mood?
If the first attack didn't hit, he wouldn't attack a second time. He would give the golden sword saint a chance to live. It seemed cool, but in fact, the golden sword saint had been intimidated by Salin. Whether he could continue to advance in the future was a problem.
The power of the lightning icicle instantly destroyed the dozen magic shields. The golden sword saint's firm belief as a Warrior was completely shaken.
After being weakened more than ten times, his strongest attack was only able to save his life.
His weapon was destroyed, and his body was paralyzed by the electricity. He couldn't move.
Before Salin left, he was indeed in a bad mood. It wasn't because of the Golden Plains, but because he had a real understanding of the situation on the continent after chatting with Rex for so long.
He controlled the north of Qin Yin, but he didn't control everything. The Cloud Flow Empire was in turmoil, but no one attacked the capital. The four dukes began to expand. Even in the Red River Valley, the Church had to give up the land they obtained, and the Cloud Flow people restored the Titan Duchy.
Salin was too focused on magic and didn't send anyone to Cloud Flow. Rex sent this news to Metatlin, but it didn't attract the Mages' attention.
The Mages didn't even analyze it for Grand Duke Reyne, so the information naturally didn't reach Salin.
Salin knew about the division of the Scotia Empire. Many nobles were independent. In Salin's eyes, it was just madness before destruction.
These things weren't important to the Mages. It wasn't a big deal. Salin didn't plan to let the Mages become politicians, but it was strange that the Iron Blood Duke didn't mention it to Salin. Could it be that the alliance between the two was only in name?
Salin found his feelings funny. He was just an ally. What else could he hope for?
Salin adjusted his mood and walked out of Rex's palace. His followers were waiting outside. Not far from Zola and the others were the warriors of the royal swordsman camp.
Normally, the prince's followers weren't allowed to enter the palace. But no one could stop Salin when he barged in. Salin used the Cloud Walk skill.
