[First Update]
Rex had bodyguards with him. Usually, they weren't used for defense. That was because the mages of the Golden Plains and the soldiers of the royal swordsmen often followed Rex. They could deal with emergencies.
The bodyguards were people who had followed Rex since he was young. Keeping them by his side could increase their knowledge. They might even become generals in the future.
Roddick was a soldier who had served Rex since he was young. Now that he had advanced to a gold sword saint, he had suffered a lot. But he was assassinated because he tried to protect his master.
Rex was furious. Salin walked up and observed for a while. "Grace, it's the work of the protoss."
"The protoss?" The mages of the Golden Plains pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Salin said.
Over the past six months, I've killed about seven demigods. There are no angels with the demigods because they can't bear to make them. But there are protoss. I didn't manage to kill all the strong protoss. Of course, there might be some who escaped. There are too many space tunnels now. It's possible that they haven't been cleaned up.
"Why do you say it's the protoss?" Rex asked.
Salin lowered his head and dipped his finger in the blood. He flicked it out. The mages beside him caught it with a crystal bottle and mixed the prepared medicine inside.
"Look." Salin pointed at the clear liquid in the bottle. "The origin power in the blood has been plundered. Only the protoss would do this. They won't let go of even a little bit of the origin power."
"Sigh …" Rex sighed. This wasn't easy to investigate. She and Salin didn't have powerful Summoners under them. It was difficult to search for the escaped protoss.
"Grace, I won't leave for now. Let's catch this person first."
Rex wasn't in a good mood. He just nodded and asked the mages to preserve the body. They would bring it back to Kushui Commandery for burial.
Salin moved into the palace naturally. The mages of the Golden Plains were chased out by him. The mages were furious. Salin only said, "I don't want anyone to monitor me when I'm with Rex."
Of course, the mages of the Golden Plains weren't just monitoring Rex. They were also responsible for protecting him. However, they hadn't played a role in both assassinations. Salin's words were quite sarcastic.
They couldn't do anything about Salin's sarcasm. Salin's subordinates weren't reasonable. Direct conflict? It was too unnecessary. The Golden Plains had also occupied six dimensions. If a conflict broke out, they would not be able to fight against Salin at all, and their forces would be scattered.
Salin stayed and chased away the mages of the Golden Plains, not because he wanted to vent his anger, but because at his level, he had already begun to do as he pleased and would no longer make things difficult for himself.
His main purpose in coming to Saint Rock City was to solve the problem of the Golden Plains.
Rex didn't have any children, so his position as emperor was unstable.
If there wasn't the Golden Plains, this wouldn't be a problem. Anyway, Rex still had a long lifespan, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to last another 30,000 to 50,000 years. However, the pressure of the Golden Plains was not beneficial to Rex.
Salin had to share some of the burden. That was what he wanted.
In the royal palace of Holy Rock City, Rex had been living in the magic tower behind the study. He didn't have a bedroom either. She was a Mage, so no one would criticize her for doing this.
The Magic Tower was built to the thirteenth floor. The person who built the Magic Tower was sent by Salin.
On the thirteenth level, Rex gazed into the distance. Salin stood behind her and felt that Rex's back was very lonely. She was no longer the stubborn girl from before. Rex was the emperor of the empire, and the burden on her was very heavy.
Before he was chased by the God of Light's doppelganger, Salin did not understand. Only when he faced death a few times did he remember that so many people's lives were in his hands. Once he died, these people would be finished with him.
It was the same for Rex. Her responsibility wasn't much lighter than Salin's.
"Rex, you recorded the appearance of the assassins, right?"
Salin couldn't tell her why he was here, so he could only chat with Rex first. Now that they were like this, Salin felt that he was too distant from Rex.
Rex took out the memory crystal casually and showed Salin the situation of her assassination.
The first time was when Rex was on the way back to the palace. When Rex passed a bridge on the magic chariot, five people rushed out from under the bridge. One of them was blocked by the bottom of the magic chariot and escaped back into the water. The other four attacked on both sides.
Salin noticed that these assassins didn't use divine spells. They all used martial arts.
If he didn't have a powerful Eye of the Soul, he wouldn't have been able to tell that the assassins were protoss. Many gods looked very similar to humans in appearance, and only hostile mages could tell them apart.
"They used standard weapons, which were commonly seen in Qin Yin. Unfortunately, only one or two were left."
"Rex, I've already sent Raphael to investigate. Her metal angel can tell the smell of protoss."
"Did you come to me just to say this?" Rex asked faintly without turning back.
"Well, no." Salin didn't know what to say.
"Then tell me, what do you want?"
Salin's heart moved, and he blurted out, "When can you stop being the emperor? Let's go."
"Go?"
"Yes, you and I are husband and wife. What's the point of staying here? Follow me to the Half Plane. I've already conquered a lot of land. It's bigger than the entire Myers Continent."
Rex smiled and turned around. "Salin, if I can go, I'll go." “
"What do you mean?"
"You destroyed the Vatican and sent some captives. Do you remember?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"I interrogated them personally. I found out that my father's death was caused by a traitor in Qin Yin."
Salin was stunned. Emperor Chanak was that strong? The Vatican had mobilized most of their forces. Other than Black Prison Island, even the Oracle Team had participated in the siege.
And this was under the condition that there was a traitor. If there was no traitor, Emperor Chanak might not have died, right?
But it had been so long, and it was too difficult to investigate.
"Salin, if I find out that your father's death is related to the Golden Plains, what will you do?"
"I've already destroyed Black Prison Island. The Golden Plains won't make a difference."
"That's good. The assassin is most likely related to the God of Light. I'm angry because this matter involves the Golden Plains."
"Ebola?"
"It's not her. She's too proud. There are many ambitious people on the Golden Plains, but this is the first time someone has violated the treaty. And it's with the protoss. "
Salin thought for a moment and said, "Lace, are you lacking strong evidence now?"
"Yes."
"Do we still need evidence when we do things? As long as you can confirm that it's done by the people of the Golden Plains, I'll destroy the Golden Plains for you. "
"No, Salin. I can't let my father die without knowing the reason. I must investigate this matter thoroughly. Before that, I've already sent out all the experts I can use. Lend me some people. "
"Who do you want?" Salin was curious. Rex had never borrowed manpower from him. Many of the Spellcasters she had personally trained were already above level-10. The humans of the main continent had pure bloodlines. Once the laws of the plane loosened, the speed at which they advanced was much faster than the Spellcasters of the subcontinent.
"Gu Xin lent it to me. You have Eleanor now, and Qin Yin lent it to me as well. As for the Spellcasters, I want the ones you can trust the most. Give me six level-12 ones from Serg Island. It's best if they're familiar with different types of elemental magic. I already have assassins. If you have suitable demons, I hope to have two battalions. "
"So many?"
"Yes, I need the demon army. Holy Rock City's defenses aren't strong enough. Don't be fooled by the soldiers everywhere. If a spatial tunnel appears here, we'll be surrounded by an army at any time."
Salin nodded. This was something he hadn't expected. If a spatial tunnel appeared near Holy Rock City, then Rex indeed didn't have enough manpower to set up defenses.
Although Holy Rock City had been repaired, the magic clock hadn't been repaired, so its defenses were much weaker.
He had fused the magic lattice into the magic amplification device to make it indestructible. It was impossible to return it to Holy Rock City. Now that Salin's magic amplification device was invisible, it floated behind his back like a powerful shield. Any assassin who wanted to attack Salin from behind wouldn't be able to.
Salin suddenly said, "Grace, we haven't had a child …"
Rex faced Salin and walked over. She knocked Salin's head with her white and slender fingers. "Are you in a hurry?"
Salin shook his head. Rex said, "Then wait a little longer."
"Ah?"
"I'm being targeted by the Protoss now. Being pregnant is always troublesome," Rex said calmly.
"That means, once the assassins are taken care of, we'll …"
"Humph. If you have time to waste on me, why don't you go and have a few more with Sicar?" Rex was obviously jealous. She knocked Salin's head again. She was much shorter than Salin now. She raised her head, and Salin could see that her eyes were shining with a mesmerizing light.
"Yes, what are you waiting for? At most, I'll bring you to a place. Thirty to fifty years will pass quickly, and it won't be a problem for the child to inherit the throne." As Salin spoke, he held Rex's waist gently.
"Don't do anything. There are people outside!" Rex wanted to push Salin away.
"Don't worry. Nelis is far away, and the Winged Skeleton isn't here either. No one can spy on us." As Salin spoke, he released the Lightning Domain. Twelve thunder phantoms surrounded him. This time, they were translucent, so that Rex wouldn't feel awkward.
In a magic tower outside the palace, a 10th-level mage was monitoring the images in the magic formation. The sudden appearance of twelve phantoms made him want to check them out subconsciously. In the end, a loud thunder sounded in his head. With a boom, blood mixed with brain matter spurted out of his nose.
