The pirates looked at Silva, who was talking to Salin from afar, in awe. Everyone's eardrums were still ringing, and the sound of Silva hitting the magical beast's skeleton was still echoing in their heads.
These pirates' martial skills were not low, and there were at least a dozen swordmasters among them. Most of them knew what that sound meant. This female warrior's strength was probably much stronger than the original captain's. A few injured pirates were simply bandaged, and it seemed that they might not survive. Each of them had dozens of broken bones, and their wounds did not heal, still oozing blood.
"Neris!" Salin shouted, and Neris immediately appeared behind him.
"Put this guy away, take Silva back, and help clean up the platform." Salin finished speaking, and walked towards the pirate camp. The camp had been ravaged beyond recognition. Salin came to the injured pirates. Four of them were completely unconscious, two had broken hands, and two had minor injuries, their faces all scratched.
Seeing Salin coming over, the pirates all retreated, not daring to approach. It was not that Salin was cruel, but they all knew that mages did not like warriors with weapons to be too close, not to mention these untrustworthy pirates. If they made any moves that caused a misunderstanding, this mage was likely to kill them.
Salin did not mind. His Ice Patterned Armor could now be used instantaneously, and it was difficult for these pirates, who were no more than intermediate swordmasters, to ambush him. He would only be careful if there was a Bronze Sword Saint.
Coming to the injured, Salin used his Cold Vision to observe. The four seriously injured pirates had ruptured internal organs. He waved a pirate over and said, "Let their abdomens bleed and save them."
"Yes." This pirate looked relatively clean, with a head of short red hair. He quickly pulled out a dagger and began to cut open the abdomens of his injured companions, letting out the extravasated blood. He also knew that this was saving lives, but the injuries of his companions were too serious, and letting out blood was certainly not effective.
Seeing that the extravasated blood was almost drained, Salin used a frost spell to freeze the pirate's wounds, and then cast four Spring Rain. The green aura permeated the pirates' bodies, and the four seriously injured pirates stopped moaning, and their complexions improved a little.
"Bring a bucket," Salin continued to order. Immediately, another pirate brought over a bucket of water. Salin also created some Recovery Water and instructed, "This is a healing potion. Take care of these four people. They won't die."
The pirates looked at each other and bowed their heads respectfully. Most of the pirates had thoughts of submitting to him. This magician was willing to use magic to heal his subordinates. If they followed him, the chances of them dying would be much lower. Pirates worked with their heads on the line. There was no tomorrow. On the sea, it was very difficult to get treatment after being injured. Even if they brought some magic potions, they would only be used by some of the leaders. Ordinary pirates could only rely on their bodies to endure.
Salin didn't say anything else. He wasn't good at winning people's hearts. He only did this out of simple habit. These pirates were his labor force, and the death of one was not a small loss. Rex did have many loyal swordsmen, but none of them were qualified sailors.
Moving on the sea wasn't something that could be achieved just by having a strong sword qi. No matter how strong your Sword Qi is, you won't be able to fly over the sea. You still have to rely on the boat to move.
Daniel also saw this scene from afar. He saw more than the pirates, so he was even more in awe of Sicar. He didn't practice any sword qi, but could use pure strength to attack so fiercely. He was simply a magical beast in human form. The two women beside Salin made him both envious and jealous. A magician could have such a Warrior by his side. It was the happiest thing in the world.
When would he be able to leave Salin? When that time came, he should find a few followers like this.
This thought popped up in Daniel's mind as he watched Salin leave. He still didn't understand Rex's words. Sicar and Neris weren't followers, but Salin's friends.
It was a mess in front of the magic tower. Rex's Crystal City and Earth Wall worked very well, and the Storm Spell blew away the dust. The alchemy equipment for the Coiled Turtle wasn't damaged. The magic tower broke from the middle and fell to the other side. The huge platform was smashed into a crack. Rex had already filled the crack with magic.
The foundation of the magic tower was completely broken. If the master of the magic tower was still alive and the magic circle was still working, this wouldn't have happened.
"Rex, how is it? How much did you lose?" Salin asked, grinning. Rex looked at Salin, confused.
"Sicar wants to compensate you for your losses."
Rex heard Salin's words and smiled. "What losses? Digging out the materials of this tower is also a sum of money. Sicar helped me dismantle it, so I can transport them all. There's a lot of steel rock."
She knew Sicar's personality, and knew that Salin wasn't joking. Sicar was getting serious. No wonder Sicar had a strange expression when he came back. Rex liked Sicar's personality, so he didn't make fun of her naivety. Instead, he cooperated with Salin and comforted Sicar.
"Rex, is it true?" Sicar opened her eyes wide. She looked at the rubble on the ground, feeling that Rex was comforting her.
"Of course. The alchemy equipment buried inside won't all be destroyed. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the strength to dismantle such a huge tower."
Rex didn't lie to Sicar completely. Many special materials were needed to build a magic tower. These materials might not be very precious, but their value added together was not small. Most of her alchemy labs on the first and second floors had already been dismantled and transported outside the magic tower. The losses this time weren't huge.
"Sicar, you should be happy. I remember that you're the first Warrior to dismantle a magic tower, right?" Salin was happy to see Sicar happy.
"The first! Me? "Sicar pointed at her own nose, unable to believe it.
"Of course. Which Warrior would have the guts to dismantle a magic tower?" Rex explained with a smile. "Even a Sword Saint wouldn't dare to attack a magic tower directly."
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Rex, let's think about how to go back." Salin didn't want to talk about this anymore. It wouldn't be good if news of this got out. If other mages knew about this, they might hate Sicar. Dismantling a magic tower was a disgrace for mages, even if the tower had no master.
Other than the Tanggulas Empire, the magic towers of the other three empires would always be standing. Even if the mages were gone, no one would touch them.
"Don't you already have an idea?" Rex looked at Salin with a faint smile. This guy had already thought about it, but still used such words to test him. It seemed like he wasn't an honest person.
Salin was a little embarrassed. He chuckled and used the Cleaning spell to clear a space for Rex to sit down. Then he said, "The main mast of the pirate ship was broken. Without materials, it can't be fixed."
"It can be fixed. Salin, just tell me, what do you plan to do?"
"Hmm, look, the pirate ship is 40 meters long, and the shell of this Coiled Turtle is less than 30 meters. Although the bottom of the pirate ship isn't flat, we can find a way to install a one-time connection device on the shell. We can hang this alchemy ship under the pirate ship and secretly return to Qin Yin. "
"Good idea, but those pirates will see this alchemy ship. Are you going to kill them? That's not your style. "
"With Daniel, we can get him to sign a necromancy contract with them. Even if they die, they will keep the secret. If they survive, I will arrange for them to go to the north of Phoenix and build a base there. This pirate ship will be the foundation of my future success. "
Rex looked at Salin as if trying to read something from his eyes. Salin looked at Rex calmly. His idea was very simple. If he accepted Rex's gift as a swordsman, then all his hard work wouldn't be considered as his own. If he could create his own situation, then he would have the capital to be on equal footing with Rex.
It was only recently that he came up with this idea. In the past, he thought it was natural that Rex was stronger than him. He was talented and had a solid foundation. He had been taught by a Magic Shooter since he was seven and never lacked money.
But as he grew older, Salin had a hazy feeling in his heart. It could also be said that his feelings for women were awakened. It wasn't impossible for him to work for Rex all year round, but he had a feeling that he was under someone else.
Rex's life wasn't always smooth. Although he had a bad start, he had too many opportunities now. Why couldn't he be like Rex and plan his life well?
Salin wanted a ship not only because he yearned for freedom. For mages, a ship was far less important than a magic tower. If Salin wanted to be independent, he only needed to speed up his cultivation and become a level six mage. Then, Rex would naturally pay more attention to him.
But he didn't want to rely on Rex. They both had the same enemy, the Holy Church. If he wanted to deal with the Holy Church, attacking from Jialou Lan was too far away. If he could have a fleet, Salin wouldn't have to worry about those thugs of the Holy Church.
There was a large isolated land in the north of Phoenix. It was a world of ice and snow for half a year. The Myers Continent was vast, and no one would go there to live and reproduce. But the situation on the continent was different now. It could provide a vast world for Salin.
Salin had this idea since he saw Rex's full magic map of the continent. Originally, he had discussed with Freddie how to develop that land. After Freddie died, he didn't have the power to rely on. Now that there were pirates who came to him, Salin suddenly had this idea.
Let these pirates help him reclaim the land. There was a place to build a port in the north of Phoenix. Although there was close to half a year of freezing, if he completely mastered the technology of this alchemy ship, the frozen port could also be used all year round.
With power, there would be desire. When Salin saw the incomparable power in his badge, his desire was naturally born.
