Daniel's expression was a little strange. He controlled Ferdite's body and swam toward Salin. Salin, Rex, Shika, and Neris were all seriously injured. If they were to attack at this time …
Daniel couldn't help but think of this. He knew that Salin and Rex carried a lot of wealth. If he could kill these two, he would immediately become rich. He had unexpectedly summoned the Winged Skeleton back. From then on, his connection with the Death Plane was even closer. He didn't need help from others anymore. As long as he had money, he could continue training until he became a Magic Shooter.
This was a huge temptation. Daniel licked his lips, his throat dry. After losing the eight bone puppets and gaining the Winged Skeleton, his power didn't decrease. Instead, it increased. If he wanted to kill Salin and Rex, this was the best chance.
Salin lay on the broken deck. He turned his head and said to Daniel, who was swimming over, "Daniel, the empty shell of the Coiled Turtle hasn't drifted far. With the Winged Skeleton, it'll be easier for you to move around. Go find it."
"Yes," Daniel couldn't help but agree. He turned and left. The moment he turned, he felt a strong sense of annoyance. What was wrong with him? That Salin probably couldn't even cast a Level-0 spell. What was he afraid of?
Even though Daniel kept encouraging himself, he was still brought farther and farther away by the Winged Skeleton. In the end, he didn't turn back. Salin watched Daniel go far away and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The Tanggulas people were unreliable. Although the Alchemy City Mages had bad tempers, they definitely wouldn't have any evil thoughts at this time.
It was true that Daniel was a Mage, but he had been educated like the Tanggulas since he was young. What Mage Qin Yin wouldn't do, it didn't mean that he wouldn't do.
For a Mage, faith should be above morality. Because faith was one's own, but morality was a rule imposed by others. In places without crowds, morality was too easy to break down. Mages should guard their faith and not be confused by morality. Only then could they hold on to their hearts.
For example, right now, Daniel wouldn't think about morality at all. Plus, he lacked faith.
If a person wanted something, they had to pay an equivalent price. Daniel wasn't prepared to pay the price. Seeing how weak Salin and the others were, he immediately became like a beast, revealing a hungry expression.
Rex took out a bottle of magic liquid. He drank a mouthful and then passed it to Salin. Salin took the green jade bottle, drank a mouthful, and passed it to Nelis. The four of them took a sip each and drank all the magic liquid in the bottle. With the nourishment of the Magic Fluid, the four's injuries would no longer worsen. Salin gripped his badge and barely managed to cast a Level-0 spell.
This time, he wasn't afraid of Rex, who was at the side. The two of them had been through too many life and death situations together. Salin didn't intend to hide this little secret from Rex.
The badge extracted Salin's energy as usual, but after the extraction, his spiritual power stabilized and gradually recovered. It would only take half an hour for the dragon crystal to restore most of his condition.
Rex was physically injured, but his spiritual power wasn't damaged. She cast Spring Rain on herself and two on everyone else before she stopped and collapsed on the deck.
"Rex, get up," Salin said stiffly as he sat up straight.
"What?"
"That Daniel wanted to attack us just now, but I tricked him away. If he comes back and sees you like this, he might have bad thoughts again. Now that he has the Winged Skeleton, he's at least a Level-4 Magician. "
"He …" Rex paused and didn't continue. She had her back to Daniel just now, so she didn't see his expression. Rex trusted Salin. In this situation, she could only trust his judgment.
Sicar was covered in horrifying wounds. If it wasn't for the armor Rex made for her, she would be dead already. Nelis's life wasn't in danger, but the huge wound on her abdomen made her feel pain for a long time even if she didn't do something drastic.
Rex gritted her teeth and sat up. In less than ten minutes, Daniel returned.
"You left a magic imprint?" Daniel couldn't guess Salin's attitude. He nodded carefully.
Salin said, "I'm badly injured. If you can control Freddie, let him take us to the Coiled Turtle."
The more Salin said this, the more Daniel didn't dare to act rashly. Salin and Rex were both Archmages. He knew that even if he acted, it would be a tough battle. It was impossible to sneak an attack with the Flames of Necromancy.
However, he couldn't suppress his greedy thoughts. There seemed to be a voice in the armor tempting him — Go kill the person in front of you. Put on the armor, and you will be invincible!
Daniel clenched his fists so hard that his nails had already pierced his palms. Salin said indifferently, "Daniel, what are you thinking about?"
"No, nothing …" Daniel suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Salin took off his glove and revealed his withered left hand. There was a dark green ring on the finger that was as shriveled as a dead branch. He couldn't see through the ability of the ring. He could only feel that the power contained in the ring coincidentally countered his Necromancy.
Daniel suddenly remembered that his Winged Skeleton had been sent back to the Dimension of Necromancy when Salin had released his divine spell. The tempting voice in his heart immediately faded. Daniel coughed heavily and directed Freddie to push the plank that Salin was on. He himself turned and flew in the direction of the Coiled Turtle's shell.
The Winged Skeleton appeared again, and its flying ability had greatly increased. The Winged Skeleton dragged Daniel's body and flew at a low altitude above the sea. The patterns on Freddie's armor hadn't disappeared yet, and the heavy black iron armor still emitted golden light from time to time. However, the owner of the armor was controlled by Daniel. He could only push the plank and swim south with Daniel.
Salin lay on the plank and calculated in his heart. Daniel's abilities seemed to have improved greatly. Although he hadn't leveled up, his battle prowess was no different from that of a level-four mage. If Salin's performance was slightly weaker, he would regain his evil thoughts.
Luckily, Daniel didn't understand the source of the power of his divine spell. He must have misunderstood and thought that the price of using the divine spell was to sacrifice his body and life. After using the divine spell the last time, one of his hands had shriveled up, and it hadn't recovered yet.
That was indeed what Daniel thought. Salin's divine spell had left a deep impression on him. He believed that Salin had sacrificed his life in order to use such a powerful divine spell. Using divine spells didn't require magic strings. As long as Salin could chant a short prayer, he could release a divine spell that was even more powerful than the last time.
Theoretically, that should be the case, right?
Daniel comforted himself. If he couldn't help but attack, and Salin risked his life and sacrificed a part of his body, he could completely destroy his Winged Skeleton. Without the Winged Skeleton that could grow, it would be useless no matter how much money he had.
Salin intimidated Daniel, and he didn't dare to let his guard down. Freddie was under Daniel's control. Although Daniel couldn't control corpses like a dark mage, as long as Freddie didn't die, Daniel could continue to torture his body and soul with the Undead Flames.
Only when Freddie died would his soul be devoured by the Undead Flames and sent to the Undead Plane. Right now, Freddie was still a dangerous factor. Daniel wasn't willing to kill Freddie. Perhaps it was because he saw Freddie's armor, or perhaps he was guarding against Daniel.
Armor …
That armor was a magic artifact. If it controlled Daniel instead, it would be troublesome.
Magic artifact!
Salin moved closer to the edge of the boat, approached Neris, who was swimming in the water with the help of the boat, and asked, "Can you feel what's in that armor?"
"I … don't know," Neris answered cleverly. Salin understood that Neris meant that the demon spirit in this armor didn't come from the Demonic Plane. In ancient times, humans captured too many creatures from various planes. Most of the time, humans didn't even know the origins of these things.
To the people of that time, this thing was just a toy. To the people of today, magic artifacts were double-edged swords that hurt both themselves and others. Salin didn't want to let the people around him use this thing. If they were careless, they would end up like Freddie.
Neris looked sideways at the armor on Freddie and thought, The magic artifact that Master mentioned doesn't seem to be very powerful. It would be fine if a demon wore this armor, but Freddie's physique was too weak and could be controlled by the armor at any time. Even with the contract magic circle, it wouldn't work.
This time, because Freddie was seriously injured and lost his self-consciousness, the demon spirit in the armor suddenly took control of his body. If it weren't for Daniel's sneak attack and directly wrapping Freddie's soul with the Undead Flame, this armor might have undergone some changes.
"Master, I can try wearing this armor." Neris spoke in Gumersi this time. When she said this, her expression suddenly became gentle. If Salin didn't understand her words, he might think that Neris was flirting with him.
"No, Neris, this thing is very dangerous. You definitely can't control it with your current strength." Salin smiled gently, like a good master treating his most intimate maid.
Neris held the boat with her hand, lowered her head, and rubbed her cheek against Salin's hand. She sneered and said, "Master, what are you afraid of? If I can't control the demon spirit, there's still you. Don't forget, we have a soul contract. Who else can have more spiritual power than the two of us combined? "
"Anyway, no. I can have the armor first. Daniel doesn't dare to fight with me, and Rex doesn't want an armor that's haunted by a demon spirit. What she wants is something for the soldiers to wear on the battlefield. When I think you can deal with the demon spirit, I'll let you try again, okay? "
Salin said sincerely to Neris. Neris was his contract creature and had saved him many times. After becoming an adult, she seemed to be even more attached to him. Although many magic books recorded the problems of demons, Salin didn't want to mistreat Neris anymore. Neris was also his partner and friend.
"Master, don't be too nice to me. Look, Rex's expression is very ugly." Neris smiled sweetly and glanced at Rex. Rex pricked up his ears. Although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he could hear that Salin and Neris both mentioned her name.
