If one wanted to get something, they had to pay the same price. This was the truth that all mages believed in.
Daniel couldn't believe that a stranger would go against the Black Deacon of the Inquisition because of what happened to him. Salin looked young, but he wasn't stupid. There was no impulsiveness in his blue eyes. Daniel knew that he had to give Salin something that satisfied him before Salin would help him solve the problem.
"Do you still have that sea map?"
"Yes."
"Good. Kill the Black Deacon, and give me the sea map. I will use Lie Detection to verify if it's true."
"That's it?" Daniel couldn't believe it. He thought that Salin wanted his Flames of Necromancy.
"Yes, this price is too small. So, you still owe me one," Salin replied with a smile. He knew that even if he didn't help, Rex wouldn't let these people from the Inquisition go. The hatred between her and the Vatican couldn't be mediated.
She was just doing a favor. This Daniel was a talent to be able to escape from so many pursuits. Also, he was a rare necromancer. It was best for her to spend more time with him and learn more about the secrets of necromancy.
"Okay, I'll give it to you now," Daniel answered without hesitation.
Salin started to understand why Daniel could survive. He might have been crying just now, but that was just a facade. Deep down, Daniel was probably an extremely strong person. If he wasn't smart and decisive, he wouldn't have been able to escape all the way from the Tanggulas Empire.
When he met Deacon Bai, he couldn't even escape. He didn't die that time because Picasso was in a good mood.
Nelis watched from the side and thought, Master is getting more and more evil. He was the one who wanted to kill the people from the Inquisition to gain Rex's favor, but he said it so righteously.
Rex didn't think so. She sharply sensed the connection between the two events. The extremely rare Tiago dragon appeared, and the people chasing it were people from the Cloud Flow Empire. Cloud Flow's Gauss family occupied a huge island. There were all sorts of rare magical beasts on this island.
Could it be that Tiago came from that mysterious island? The map that Salin wanted was worthless to Daniel. Daniel didn't have the power to chase away the Gauss family. He didn't even have the chance to return to Cloud Flow.
But Salin had the Bitter Water Prefecture behind him. Sooner or later, Rex would have enough power to snatch that island. Even if Rex didn't plan to do so, selling the sea map to the people of Alchemy City would still be a huge fortune. Salin only needed to take out one of Tiago's bones to prove the authenticity of this matter.
Fresh dragon bones and a mysterious island were enough to drive the mages of Alchemy City crazy.
As long as Salin could find his teacher, he would be able to sell the map safely and even obtain a portion of the profits on the island. The Gauss Family was not the Cloud Flow Empire. They could not command the fleet that belonged to the Cloud Flow Empire. If the sorcerers of Alchemy City were to set their sights on that island, the Gauss Family would have no choice but to swallow their pride and make a fuss about it. The island would not belong to them, but to the Cloud Flow Royal Family.
As expected of someone from Skocania. His judgment of the value of items was so accurate. If he used this wisdom in politics, Salin would probably become the most important person in the empire very soon.
"Daniel, I haven't told you my name. I'm Salin Metatlin, a level-four mage. I have a plan now. The people from the inquisition will split into three teams. We need to gather them together so that no fish will slip through the net. I need your help. "
"What can I do?"
"Bait."
Daniel shivered, but he didn't back down. He nodded and said, "Okay."
"Don't worry. My people are enough to deal with those guys from the inquisition." Salin glanced at Rex and hesitated. He still introduced him. "This is Rex, a level-six mage."
Salin was afraid that Daniel would get cold feet, so he could only use Rex's identity to calm him down. Daniel was indeed relieved. Salin said, "You're only a level-three mage. If they dare to split into three teams, it means that at least one person in each team is a level-five professional. A level-four professional might not be able to deal with you."
"Yes, at least one level-one priest in each team, and an assassin."
"If you want them to gather, you have to show the abilities of a level-four mage. Can you create white bone monsters? "
"I … don't have any magic cores," Daniel said, ashamed. A Magician without even a single Magic Core on him. His days were too miserable.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Salin patted Daniel's shoulder confidently.
Salin's plan wasn't complicated. Necromancers could summon creatures from the Plane of Souls, but there weren't always creatures passing through the Plane of Souls. The success rate wasn't high, and they had to be nurtured after being summoned. Just like Daniel's winged skeletons. Thus, necromancers thought of an alternative, which was to create their own bone puppets. Naturally, they weren't as powerful as summoned creatures, but the advantage was that they were cannon fodder and could be created as long as they had the materials.
Of course, Salin couldn't let Daniel waste his dragon bones. He still had some beast bones from the Hell of God's Punishment. In addition, the three war horses killed by the giant dragon were still there. Daniel could also make them into bone puppets. He could put a skeleton together on top of them and disguise them as mid-level summoned creatures — skeleton cavalrymen.
The three Skeleton Cavalrymen and the two Skeletal Magic Beasts he had casually created were enough to make the people of the Judgement Hall pay more attention to Daniel. They would carefully summon their companions and attack together. Salin and Rex would each guard one side of the village, and they would be able to capture the people of the Tribunal in one fell swoop.
Daniel was only a level-three necromancer, and a level-three magic core was enough for him to use. Salin took out a box of level-three magic cores and handed it to Daniel. Daniel's eyes were filled with tears. He hadn't touched a magic core in a long time. He was nervous to death every time he fought. Without a magic core, his Flames of Necromancy couldn't provide much power in battle.
The Flames of Necromancy were a bit like the Magic Strings of elementalists, but more mysterious.
Salin still had a lot of magic cores on hand. He had already advanced to level-four, and low-level magic cores weren't very useful to him anymore. They were just valuable items. But this was exactly what Daniel needed. He watched Neris take out a large number of magic beast bones and was shocked. He could not feel any magic power from Neris, but she could use spatial equipment. Could it be that this woman was also a Great Mage?
The Winged Skeleton was a summoned creature. Daniel quickly chose dozens of bones and began to assemble the bone wings for the Winged Skeleton.
According to Salin's plan, he needed to hold out until everyone from the Tribunal entered the village. Only then would Salin and the others make their move. This was a real battle, and relying on the bone puppets wouldn't work. The Winged Skeleton was a mid-level undead creature. Its combat power was higher than Daniel's, and it could fly. This was the main reason why Daniel survived.
After mending the Winged Skeleton's wings, Daniel silently chanted an incantation, and a green flame appeared behind him. This green flame emitted a cold aura. It floated behind Daniel, and was as tall as a person. The Winged Skeleton was absorbed into the Flames of Necromancy, and it slowly fused with the newly assembled bone wings.
Salin looked at this magical magic, but he didn't envy it. He carefully observed with his Cold Sight, and saw some secrets of necromancy magic. The Flames of Necromancy was a pure energy body. Its attribute had nothing to do with the six major elements, but it was somewhat related to the life force of the Goddess of Nature.
Salin's left hand was modified by this life force. He had a feeling that if he put his left hand into the Flames of Necromancy, it would completely destroy the structure of the Flames of Necromancy, and the undead creatures inside would also be killed.
This was just like how light and dark elements could cancel each other out. If one side was strong, the other side would be completely suppressed, and there would be no possibility of a comeback.
Salin was slightly relieved. The power in his left hand came from the Goddess. It didn't have any effect on elemental magic, but it could suppress necromancy magic. At first, he was a little worried that there was something strange about necromancy magic that he couldn't control.
The flesh and bones of the three dead horses were still intact. Daniel separated a green flame and began to burn them. Making skeletons was a little troublesome. No one would carry dead people around.
If he wanted to fake skeletons, he needed to use the bones of magic beasts. Daniel was a little worried. Humans had 206 bones, and carving was a very troublesome thing. Of course, making a puppet didn't have to be so perfect. It was just that to make the puppet flawless and have the nimbleness of the skeleton cavalry, it had to be made strictly according to the human body.
Salin told Daniel not to worry, and he gave the job to Neris. Neris' teeth could be processed into harder materials, and she was also very familiar with the structure of the human body. Salin's research on the human body was all in books, and Neris had personally eaten a few people.
White-boned magic beasts were easier to fake, and no one knew what kind of creatures existed in the Undead Plane. The weirder the better.
Daniel busied himself until night. Salin saw that he hadn't rested, and asked curiously, "If you have enough magic cores, can you keep fighting?"
"Of course not. The Flames of Necromancy are consumed quickly in battle, similar to the magic strings of Elementalists. I can only release twelve level-three spells in a row, and the Flames of Necromancy will disperse. If I want to gather them again, I need to meditate. "
"What about commanding the summoned creatures?" Salin asked patiently.
"Summoned creatures and bone puppets don't consume the Flames of Necromancy. But bone puppets need spiritual power to control, not as good as summoned creatures. "
Salin somewhat understood. That Winged Skeleton was similar to Neris. They were both creatures from another plane. Neris didn't consume her magic strings in battle, and the Winged Skeleton was the same. But if the Winged Skeleton wanted to recover from its injuries, it had to rely on Necromancers.
Everything was ready. Salin asked, "Daniel, are you afraid?"
"Yes."
