This was something similar to a bone whistle. It could be kept in one's mouth. The hollow little thing hid bone needles that could be blown out by Nelis to injure enemies.
Rex wasted a lot of dragon bones according to Nelis's blueprint, and finally succeeded in making one.
"What is this?"
Salin looked at the small bone joint that was made into a horn. There was a small hole on it, and flying needles could be blown out. Normal flying needles couldn't injure enemies even if they were made of metal. This bone needle was heavy, and it was completely made of large pieces of dragon bones. As long as it could be blown out, other than magic armor, normal armor couldn't defend at all.
"I don't know either. This thing …" Nelis thought to herself. This thing was like a little demon's bow and arrow. It could be used to kill stronger creatures, such as demons, or familiars that had defected to a big demon.
Rex tried it, and found that she couldn't activate this horn-like equipment at all. Nelis took the small horn and kept it in her mouth. Rex placed a piece of metal in front of her. This was black gold that hadn't been refined yet. Nelis blew lightly, and a thin white line flew out of her mouth, accurately hitting the center of the black gold.
With a whoosh, the bone needle sank into the black gold ore, almost piercing through. This bone needle was made to have spikes all over its body. After piercing into the black gold, it spun violently, drilling a hole as thick as a wrist in the black gold. If this bone needle hit a person, they would basically be dead. Needless to say, if it hit the head, even if it hit the abdomen, it would be enough to shatter the internal organs.
When Rex was refining, she was very clear that this bone needle wasn't just sharp and heavy, its high-speed rotation was also one of the reasons it could break through the black gold. Unfortunately, this thing couldn't be mass produced. Even if it was made with dragon bones, success or not depended entirely on luck.
Rex wasn't disappointed. Anyway, she had already summarized her experience from Shika's armor. In the future, the armor of the Bitter Water Army could all be made in that way.
The most important part was the refining of the magic robe. Rex plucked a large amount of Tiago's hair, and added it into her and Salin's magic robes bit by bit.
Both of these magic robes were rare and exquisite. There was no need to mention Rex's colorful magic robe, and Salin's gray magic robe was something that Rex's teacher had spent more than ten years to successfully craft.
Ordinary magic robes, no matter how good the materials were, would take at most one or two months to make. These two magic robes took up to ten years to make, and the time needed to prepare the materials was even more astonishing.
There were two benefits to fusing Tiago's hair into the magic robe. The first was that Salin could wear this magic robe until he reached level-9 without having to change it. His demon suit had properties similar to Rex's colorful magic robe. After the gray magic robe was refined, it could defend against sharp weapons. The second benefit was related to Rex. Her colorful magic robe was not bad, but it was too eye-catching. Ordinary people wouldn't know that it was a piece of advanced equipment, but real experts would find it too eye-catching.
After Tiago's hair was refined into the magic robe, Salin and Rex both became gray-robed Mages without any level. The special features of the magic robe were all gone. Even the enchantment on Salin's magic robe was gone.
She and Salin didn't lack equipment. After solving the problem of the magic robe, they only needed to store spells in their magic books and write scrolls again, and they could basically recover to the highest combat power.
Daniel was the one who lacked equipment for Mages. This level-three necromancer had temporarily lost his Winged Skeleton, and no one knew when he could get it back.
Necromancers were different from Elementalists. Without summoned creatures, their combat power was greatly reduced.
Everyone's equipment was slowly refined in Rex's array. Daniel said helplessly, "I'll try to summon a new contracted creature first."
He was a little depressed. If he summoned another contracted creature to replace the Winged Skeleton, then the possibility of the Winged Skeleton coming back would be almost completely gone.
"Don't you know how to make bone puppets?" Salin thought that the bone puppets' combat power wasn't too low. At least, they were quite effective against Swordsmen. Necromancers' skills all had deterrent effects. Those whose levels were lower than Salin's could be easily affected.
"I … am a level-three Mage. I still can't use spatial equipment. I can't bring a huge thing out every day, can I?"
Salin had the Bestowed Ring and the Demon Ring, so he had long forgotten that only level-five Mages could use spatial equipment. Salin blushed when he heard Daniel's words.
Rex said, "Do you remember that there's a rule in low-level spells … nine, nine what's it again?"
"Nine Kings, but I don't have that many bones …"
Daniel had already used up a lot of precious materials to make the disguised skeleton cavalry last time. He was too embarrassed to ask Rex for more.
"Nine Kings?" Salin didn't know much about necromancy. He looked at Daniel with a puzzled gaze.
"It's nine types of creatures from the Plane of Death that are very useful to necromancers. They're also quite powerful. The Winged Skeleton is the tenth type. It's only slightly weaker than these nine types. " Daniel explained in detail, "These nine types of undead creatures are very difficult to summon, but we can find an alternative. That is, necromancers can make nine puppets that correspond to these nine types of creatures, and then put them in the summoning array. As long as they can capture the aura of the Nine Kings, these nine puppets will develop some intelligence. Although they can't be compared to summoned creatures, they won't be commanded by Necromancer Xu Ao.
Not even the Winged Skeleton! Salin thought of the Winged Skeleton's combat power. It seemed to be much higher than its master.
Let the puppets develop some intelligence? Wasn't that similar to the Life Bestowment divine spell? Necromancy was indeed related to the Life Bestowment divine spell. It was like light and darkness canceling each other out. When he used the Life Bestowment divine spell, he directly banished the Winged Skeleton back to the Plane of Death.
This skill of necromancers was probably the opposite of the Life Bestowment divine spell.
"What materials do you need? Rex and I will buy them for you. You can return them when you earn them back." Salin knew that if the Nine Kings were made, they would probably be much stronger than the Winged Skeleton. Moreover, they were products of the Myer Continent's plane, so they wouldn't be banished by his Life Bestowment divine spell. It was equivalent to having an additional combat power of at least a level-four sorcerer in the team.
His left hand would recover in a few months. That hand was the nemesis of necromancy. He wasn't afraid that Daniel would go against Rex after getting some benefits. That was almost impossible. On the Myer Continent, there weren't many people who could take in Daniel.
Daniel gathered his courage, found a pen and paper, and started listing the materials he needed.
Necromancers were a very powerful profession. It was really uncomfortable for him to be the weakest in the team. Putting Salin and Rex aside, Daniel realized that if he were to fight one-on-one, he couldn't even beat Silva and Neris. He could clearly tell that Silva and Neris hadn't trained in sword aura.
Salin and Rex looked at each other after seeing the list of materials Daniel listed. Salin and Rex had at most half of the 100 types of materials with them, which was more than 70 types. They would have to buy the rest in Alchemy City, which seemed to be another huge expense.
Even though the house they lived in was worth millions of gold coins, in reality, Rex only had to pay for two construction puppets. She couldn't fork out so much money. Helplessly, Salin could only use the voice transmission magic formation to find Huo Jinna and tell her what he needed.
"If you can give me the rest of the puppet parts, then I will gather all these things for you in a day."
"Okay." Rex took out the remaining broken parts without hesitation. This construction puppet had been smashed by the giant dragon, so it really couldn't be repaired. However, the research value of these parts wasn't low. Huo Jinna and her teacher wanted to study construction puppets, so they had to dismantle intact puppets. Ancient construction puppets were extremely well-protected. After dismantling them, it would be difficult to put them back. Therefore, these parts weren't much different from intact puppets to Huo Jinna and her teacher.
Huo Jinna giggled as she put away the components of the Construct Puppet. Two hours later, she delivered all the materials Daniel needed. Salin sighed at how rich Alchemy City was. There were so many materials, and almost all of them were hard to find. Huo Jinna delivered them in two hours, and probably spent more than an hour hugging the construction puppet parts and celebrating.
No matter what, it was a good thing that the materials were gathered. Daniel started to set up his summoning magic formation. This kind of magic formation usually wouldn't be used in buildings, unless it was buildings like Alchemy Towers, where it was absolutely safe.
To make nine bone puppets this time, he needed to cut out more than a thousand bones. He needed Rex's alchemy machinery to cut them. Salin had nothing to do for now. He and Nelis started to study the dragon crystal in his alchemy room.
Nelis still hadn't told Salin that she dug out two dragon crystals. She wasn't sure about Rex. Anyway, the thing was in her hands. As long as she didn't say anything, everyone would think that Salin only got one dragon crystal.
Tiago's dragon crystal was bigger than a pumpkin, more than a foot in diameter. Different from the green dragon magic core, the magic wave of this dragon crystal was completely restrained. The core was extremely hard, and the quality of the outer layer gradually decreased.
"Master, I'll cut it, right?"
Salin hesitated for a moment and nodded. If he let Rex help him cut the dragon crystal, he had to show his gratitude. This dragon crystal was completely of the water attribute, so it was too important to him. As long as the groove on the demon bracelet was inlaid with a dragon crystal, he wouldn't need to change any magic cores in the future.
This thing could quickly replenish his magic strings. With it, he wouldn't need to wear the white crystal ring anymore, saving an equipment slot. Moreover, when he advanced to Magic Shooter in the future, the equipment he needed would probably have to come from the dragon crystal. This dragon crystal was very big, but apart from the most valuable core, there wasn't much left around.
For Salin, with the demon bracelet inlaid with a dragon crystal, the consumption of magic cores in the future during the process of cultivation would be very small. The dragon crystal wasn't called a magic core because the power contained in it was almost endless. Unless it was severely damaged, the elements in a dragon crystal would be automatically replenished after it was used up, until the dragon crystal's lifespan was exhausted.
Such a big dragon crystal had about ten thousand years of lifespan.
"Cut it." Salin looked at the dragon crystal that was bigger than a pumpkin reluctantly. After Nelis started, it would be difficult for him to see a complete dragon crystal again. For a mage, this was a very cruel thing.
