The ship from the Wind Nation turned south. After two days, it suddenly headed east.
Salin and Felide were familiar with each other. Only then did he know that the two young sword saints were his retainers. The title of retainer was unique to the overseas island countries. On the mainland, before the decline of the knight class, there were also similar things.
These two sword saints were attached to Felide's family. Just like knights who served nobles, they couldn't betray them for life. In Qin Yin, there were swordsmen who served nobles, but it wasn't as strict as in the island nations.
Seeing the ship heading east and getting further and further away from the continent, Salin couldn't help but ask Felide.
"Felide, why did we change our course? And we're not going to Alchemy City, are we? " Salin felt that this ship wasn't as fast as the hunting ship from Alchemy City, but they didn't run into any trouble in the past two days. The ship moved at full speed and traveled more than a thousand miles.
"My ship is a modified warship. If we go to Alchemy Port like this, we'll be sunk before we reach the shore. Now we're changing to another ship. There's a storm ahead, and we need to avoid it. "
"Storm!" Salin knew the power of a storm. In Ceylon City, the aftermath of a storm could cause great losses to the fishermen. The power of nature couldn't be resisted by humans. Not even his Magician could.
He was uneasy because the magic compass on Felide's ship was broken. They had to rely on normal compasses to navigate. Salin didn't know if the ship could avoid the storm. Without a magic compass, the course wouldn't be accurate on the vast sea.
"Don't worry, I'm used to this route. We'll go around from the south and disguise ourselves as Cloud Flow's merchant ship. It'll be easier to get to Alchemy Port."
Salin thought that Alchemy City's hunting ship had been attacked. He didn't know what was going on there. If the Cloud Flow people had sunk the hunting ship, Felide dragging the Coiled Turtle to Alchemy Port would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth. The problem was that he'd already made up a lie. If he said he was sailing from Alchemy City, Felide would definitely throw him into the sea.
Sullenly, he returned to his cabin. Daniel had already woken up. He'd been unconscious for two days. When he woke up, he was just a little weak from hunger. He didn't seem to be mentally damaged. Salin knew that necromancers had ways to protect their souls, so he didn't ask.
"Master, Rex is looking for you." Neris poked her head out of the door. Salin had no choice but to give up on his training. He got off the bed and went to Rex's room.
As soon as they entered the room, Rex cast a Silence Barrier.
"Salin, I plan to do it. I want to hear your opinion." Rex looked at the sea outside the porthole and said coldly. She clasped her hands behind her back and straightened her back.
"Attack? You want to seize the ship? That's not realistic! " Salin was a little anxious. After two days of investigation, he discovered that there were more than two hundred crew members on this ship, and every one of them had extraordinary skills. Moreover, there was a group of people that he couldn't detect. He could only sense how dangerous they were.
"Are you worried about the magic contract, or do you see Freddie as a friend?" Rex turned around, and Salin saw a hint of fanaticism in her eyes. He had never seen such an expression on Rex's face before, and was momentarily stunned.
"The magic contract is only related to business, I don't care. As for friends? That's what you want to talk about, right? "
"Yes, there are more than ten alchemy crossbows on this ship, and they are all prohibited equipment. Think about it, where did they come from? "
"North."
"Is there any weapons business at the port of Lianyun City?"
"No, you're saying …"
"These people are pirates. They often appear in the northern seas of the empire! "There was no anger in Rex's voice, only excitement. Salin was smart and vaguely knew what Rex was thinking.
"It's true that they came from the Heavenly Wind Nation, but that doesn't stop them from robbing. Alchemy City is to the south of the empire, so they don't dare to do anything. But Lianyun City is to the north, and there's only a mediocre fleet. There isn't much trade between Lianyun City and Scotia. Other than the fact that the northern sea route is frozen for half a year, the main reason is that these pirates can't be eliminated, and the merchants can't afford the losses. "
"Are you sure?"
"Do I need to be sure? They are from the Heavenly Wind Nation. Since they can cross the Tempest Sea, why don't they take the initiative to open up trade routes? They have ulterior motives. "
Rex's words were harsh, but they weren't wrong. Even though the Heavenly Wind Nation was tens of thousands of miles away from the Myers Continent, with a magic ship, they could travel more than a thousand miles a day. They would arrive in two or three months. Apart from the magical beasts in the sea, there was also the Tempest Sea in between the islands.
More than ten thousand miles away from the continent, the storms on the sea had no warning, and they were more than ten times more powerful. Even the Cloud Flow Battleship couldn't pass through. Since this Ferret could travel between Qin Yin and the Heavenly Wind Nation all year round, he must have found a safe route.
The value of such a route was immeasurable. Any merchant who obtained this route would become rich.
"I don't know why the countries overseas don't open up this route. I only know that I must get this route." Rex's voice was very calm, but Salin could feel the premonition of a volcano eruption.
"They have two Black Iron Sword Saints." Salin didn't object directly. He understood that Rex wanted to get the route. If he could find this route, he wouldn't have to continue fooling Ferret, and his original plan would be easier to implement. Also, following Ferret back to Alchemy City might not be a good thing. Who knew what the situation was like in Alchemy City.
"Do you still have that poison of yours?"
"None." The ingredients for Salin's poison weren't expensive, but there were too many types of ingredients needed, and it was very troublesome to make.
"They have a secret island in the south. I want to take it over first. Those two Black Iron Sword Saints are trouble. Can Neris and Schika handle one of them? "Although Rex was passionate, he was very cautious. Those two young sword saints could threaten her life. She could handle one, but there was a high chance that she would die against two.
"They have more than 200 people." Salin continued to pour cold water on her.
"Let Schika and Neris handle one Black Iron Sword Saint, and you handle Ferret. I'll kill one Black Iron Sword Saint first, and leave the rest to Daniel."
"Daniel doesn't have that ability!"
"Just one minute, and I can kill those two sword saints and capture Ferret. The rest won't dare to fight back."
"Why must we fight?"
"My father was killed by the Holy Church. I want revenge, but I can't count on my brother. If the Kushui Prefecture wants to develop, it will take at least 50 years. But at most three years, the Holy Church will be able to recover. Salin, my uncle is very capable, but he isn't even 1% as good as my father. I can only rely on myself to take revenge. The wealth I got from the Godly Palace isn't enough to form an army that can fight to the Light Plain. I want to conquer the Godly Wind Nation and make it my own nation. "
"The Godly Wind Nation is probably hard to fight …"
"Hey, there are only two low-level mages on this battleship. Salin, don't you think it's strange?"
"It is a bit strange. Maybe the Godly Wind Nation has very few mages. But … "
"Capture Ferret, and we will directly kill the emperor of the Godly Wind Nation."
"Ferret isn't someone who can be controlled!" Salin was very clear that Ferret was an ambitious guy. Even if Rex could kill the emperor of the Godly Wind Nation, this Ferret wouldn't listen to him anymore once he got to the Godly Wind Nation. Rex's thoughts were getting crazier, and that wasn't a good sign.
"This is a long-term plan. You only need to help me capture Ferret, and I will take care of the rest."
"You … Can't you wait a few more years?" Salin was secretly referring to the God's Punishment Hell. As long as Rex was patient and found the coordinates of the plane again, when all the Great Mages under her had advanced to Magic Shooter, she could bring them to the God's Punishment Hell and quickly become Level 9 Magic Shooters in the Six Yuan Space.
If Rex had so many Level 9 Magic Shooters, she could take revenge on any enemy. As long as she endured until that day, then brought the Level 9 Magic Shooters and enough Forbidden Spell Scrolls, even destroying Glory City wouldn't be a problem.
"Salin, nurturing mages costs a lot of money. I can at most last five years, maybe three years, and then I won't be able to support so many mages anymore. Unless we open up the route to the Godly Wind Nation, do you think there's any business on the Myers Continent that I can get involved in? "
Salin was speechless. The number of mages that Rex was nurturing was a little too much, and the daily supply of magic cores was a huge consumption. No matter how much wealth she got from the ruins of the Goddess' temple, there would be a day when it would be exhausted. If she didn't develop new sources of funds, the Kushui Commandery would just be a remote and barren city that couldn't attract mages.
"Nelis told me that your dragon crystal has been processed. I don't want the core, I just want the cut parts to be installed in the puppet construct. How confident do you think we are this time?" Rex tried to persuade Salin. Salin suddenly understood.
Rex didn't think of doing this by chance. It must be Nelis who bewitched her. The dragon crystal was very difficult to process. As a Level 4 mage, he didn't have the ability to do so. But Nelis could. She had already cut the big dragon crystal into twenty-four sides of the standard size, which could be embedded in the puppet construct.
Rex didn't know about this, but Nelis must have told him about it.
That day, Ferret wanted to buy Nelis with money, and Nelis bore a grudge. She didn't do anything these two days, so Salin thought that Nelis had given up on revenge. He didn't expect Nelis to be even more ruthless. She convinced Rex to completely destroy Ferret.
Salin's heart turned cold. If Nelis wasn't his contracted creature, how terrifying would she be? Using the weakness of human nature, Nelis easily decided Ferret's fate. Just because of one sentence, she wanted everyone on this ship to die with him?
Salin didn't think that Nelis would be satisfied after capturing Ferret. As long as everyone was controlled, she would only be happy after killing them all. Otherwise, she had too many ways to secretly deal with Ferret. She didn't have to be so ruthless.
If Rex really held Ferret hostage and did something in the Godly Wind Nation, not only would Ferret not have a good ending, but he would also implicate everyone in his family. As long as Nelis was willing, she would continue to expand this disaster. Ferret's family, friends, and even people who were slightly acquainted with him would be involved.
