"Master, how's the situation in the capital?" Salin was very concerned about this. The Magic Shooter only shook his head. Salin knew that he had to wait for Rex to come back.
Rex came back quickly. Neris followed her and made a face at Salin.
"Teacher." Rex bowed and sat down.
"How's my brother?" Rex didn't ask who was the emperor now. The capital was under Sephiroth's control. Her brother had been recuperating in the Magic Tower since he was young and had no chance to come into contact with power. If her uncle wanted to take the throne, he could do it with just a word.
"Slayer inherited the throne, and Prince Sephiroth is the regent."
"What about my two cousins?" Rex wasn't impatient. Her brother was still alive. Even though they didn't have any feelings for each other, she was still relieved. But her uncle had two sons. When their father was alive, they were very obedient. Now that their father was dead, they might have some thoughts. They also had the right to inherit the throne as long as Sephiroth got rid of her brother.
"Sephiroth made them princes and chased them out of the capital."
The Magic Shooter's words surprised Rex. Her two cousins didn't have any positions or even lands before this. Being promoted to princes seemed like they suddenly gained great power. In reality, unless the other members of the royal family died, her two brothers would never have the chance to be emperor again.
Was her uncle really willing to help her brother?
"How's the situation in Jialoulan?" Rex didn't ask further. She was eager to know the development of the war. She'd been away for a year, and her father had passed away for half a year. Jialoulan was probably already torn apart.
"Les, His Majesty fell into the enemy's trap. The royal swordsmen lost more than half, but the elites in the capital didn't collapse. More than 80,000 troops retreated into the Titan Duchy. Cloud Flow promised to send troops, and most of the other nobles' troops also left the front line. Half of Jialoulan's land is still controlled by Qin Yin. "
"Trap … The Vatican must have used a lot of people. Teacher, what was the situation then?" Rex looked angry. She didn't believe that her father would die on the battlefield. Unless there was a traitor, or the Vatican had gathered a large number of powerhouses to kill Qin Yin's emperor at all costs. If there was a traitor, she didn't mind using the power of the God Sifting Ring to eliminate him, even if that person had already hidden in the Tanggulas Empire.
"It's the Pope himself, as well as twelve Cardinal Bishops. The Holy Knights and the four leaders of the Inquisition came out in full force. There are no traitors at His Majesty's side. The Pope used a divine artifact … "
Divine Artifact! Salin's eyelids twitched violently. Perhaps Great Emperor Qin Yin had equipment comparable to divine artifacts, but the enemy had too many people. Great Emperor Qin Yin had only brought twenty thousand swordsman soldiers, and the number of magicians by his side was limited. Fighting alone against many, scheming against the unsuspecting, even such an expert could fall.
"What's the result?"
"All the Grand Cardinals died in battle, two of the four leaders of the Inquisition died, the Pope was seriously injured, and the Holy Knights lost 40,000 people."
The Magic Shooter's words made Salin's heart jump. The Cardinal Bishops were at least equivalent to a level-seven magician, and some of them even had the strength of a level-nine magician. If the pope passed away, the next pope would be chosen from among the Cardinal Bishops. All twelve Cardinal Bishops died in battle. It could be said that the Vatican was willing to pay any price to kill Great Emperor Qin Yin.
The Holy Knights had sixty thousand people, and they lost forty thousand of them. At least twenty thousand of them died in battle, and most of the rest were crippled, unable to enter the battlefield again.
Salin knew that Great Emperor Qin Yin was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong. If it wasn't for the Pope using a divine artifact, Great Emperor Qin Yin might really have been able to wipe out the obstacles between Qin Yin and the Tanggulas Empire.
"Good kill. Did Alchemy City have any reaction?" Rex was dissatisfied. His father died in battle. Didn't the magicians of Alchemy City feel ashamed?
"They didn't declare war, but I received news that more than ten Magic Shooters have left Alchemy City and sneaked into the Tanggulas Empire. It seems that they are going to do something big."
Hmph …
Rex snorted heavily. Alchemy City's actions were still too small. More than ten Magic Shooters were enough to completely destroy a city, but they couldn't shake Glory City. The Pope was injured, but the Pope was here. This person also had a usable divine artifact. The Magic Shooters of Alchemy City only dared to cause trouble in the Tanggulas Empire.
So what if they killed the emperor of the Tanggulas Empire? That guy was just a puppet.
"Why didn't Sephiroth use the teleportation formation in the palace to bring me back?" Rex finally couldn't take it anymore. With his father's death, the whole empire seemed to have lost its unity. The noble army retreated, and his father's royal swordsman camp didn't even return. They were still in the Titan Duchy. All of this must have had something to do with the prince's attitude.
His father's death was a major setback, but the Vatican's loss was even greater. With the death of the twelve Cardinal Bishops, it would take at least half a year to replenish their losses. If they attacked at this time, it might be possible to send their army to the Tanggulas Empire.
Now, not only did they not attack the Divine Grace Duchy, they even lost half of Jia Loulan. The noble army didn't want to retreat to Qin Yin. They probably wanted to divide Jia Loulan's land.
This was Qin Yin's humiliation!
"Lace, in order to build this teleportation formation, the Kushui Commandery's treasury is empty. Sephiroth is making war puppets to counterattack the Tanggulas Empire. No one is allowed to use a single cent of the treasury. Besides, even I don't know if you can live until today. He … "
"He's just a hypocrite. If he succeeds, history won't record my brother's contributions, but his name. Teacher, I can understand, but I can't accept it. "
"Then what do you plan to do? Start a war with Sephiroth? "Seeing that persuasion didn't work, the Magic Shooter used cold water to wake Rex up. Rex was legally independent, but he was still a vassal of Qin Yin. Not to mention the difference in strength, even if Rex had the power to attack Holy Rock City, none of Qin Yin's nobles would support her.
"What can I do? Sephiroth thinks that I'm dead, so he doesn't need to use the treasury. Now that I'm alive, he has to give me what should be given to me, "Rex said through clenched teeth.
"Of course. When you return to the Kushui Commandery, send an envoy to Holy Rock City. I'll go there myself. "
"Teacher!"
"Don't worry, the prince won't do anything to me." The Magic Shooter waved his hand and stopped Rex.
"Then what about the Kushui Commandery?" Rex knew that he couldn't dissuade his teacher. Moreover, his teacher had Joey to rely on in the capital, so he wouldn't be in any danger.
"Basically, none of the Magicians in the Kushui Commandery left. More than ten great Magicians returned. They're waiting for you."
Rex felt warmth in his heart. He hadn't worked for nothing in the past ten years. He'd been missing for a year, but the Kushui Commandery was still operating normally. Most of his wealth was in the God Luo Ring after he left. To build this teleportation portal and the castle to monitor it, the Kushui Commandery probably couldn't even afford the magic cores used by Magicians.
"Teacher, I think you shouldn't go to the capital. I don't plan to return to the Kushui Commandery for now." Rex thought about it carefully. He felt that he wouldn't be able to develop under the watchful eyes of everyone when he returned. Suddenly, he had an idea.
"You're not going back? How can that be! "
"Teacher, I'm going to Alchemy City for a while," Rex said firmly.
"Rex!" Salin suddenly called out. He knew that Rex wanted to go to Alchemy City to find help. He didn't want his teacher to get involved.
"Salin, you have a share of the things in the Hell of Godly Punishment. Don't you want your teacher to have everything?"
"I …" Salin was speechless. After he returned, he indeed wanted to see his teacher as soon as possible. However, he hadn't thought about how to tell the truth about the Hell of Godly Punishment. Without Rex's help, he would never be able to return. Moreover, the Six Yuan Space there belonged to Rex. If Rex didn't allow it, his teacher wouldn't be able to use it in the future.
Without Rex's help, he might not even be able to find his teacher.
"Salin, no Magician can resist that temptation." Rex didn't need to scheme. The two of them had known each other for a year. A simple sentence could express many things. She also knew that Salin liked to be straightforward. If he tried to beat around the bush, Salin would reject without hesitation.
Seeing that Salin was still hesitating, Rex said, "Alchemy City is very complicated. It's not something that one or two people can decide. I don't dare to spread this secret. The only person I can trust is your teacher. I'm leaving now to avoid trouble. Otherwise, Kushui Prefecture will be surrounded by Uncle's people. I won't be able to develop at all. If you stay with me, your life won't be easy. I can't hide the news of my return. If I go to Alchemy City, Uncle will think that I've given up my power to focus on magic. "
"Why?" Salin didn't understand.
"The Magicians in Alchemy City won't serve the nobles. Even if the emperor goes, it'll be useless. "
"You really want to go to Alchemy City?" The High Mage looked at his student. Rex's face was devoid of blood, just like the frost of early winter. However, this strength and coldness were so thin that it made people feel bad.
"Yes, Teacher. I hope to get Teacher Salin's help." Rex said what was in his heart.
"Can you go back to the plane you went to?"
"As long as there are enough Magic Shooters, yes."
"Alright, then go. I'll look after Kushui Prefecture for you."
"What about the soldiers?" Salin asked at the side. If Rex left, would the soldiers lose their direction?
"I've already made arrangements. There will be many wars in Jia Loulan. I want to open up a path and attack Jia Loulan directly from Kushui Prefecture. Since those nobles won't avenge their father, those lands don't belong to them. "
