Rex returned to the fifth floor, where Salin was waiting for her. Seeing Salin, Rex was inexplicably angry. Could it be that this guy mentioned it to Jason? Otherwise, why would Jason make such a strange request?
"Rex, what did the teacher say?"
He didn't know that Rex was angry, so he asked at the wrong time. Rex said angrily, "He asked me to marry you and give you the Hell of Divine Punishment as my dowry. Tell me honestly, was this your idea or not! "
When Rex was angry, his face was flushed, and his breathing quickened.
"Huh? Did you agree? "Salin asked casually, not realizing what was going on.
Rex was so angry that her nose was raised. Looking at Salin's expression, she knew that he wasn't the one who did this. For some reason, seeing Salin's expression, she was even angrier. She raised her fist and punched Salin's nose.
Salin didn't expect Rex to act so rudely. Furthermore, Rex had practiced martial arts since he was young. Even without sword aura, he was more agile than most swordsmen. The punch came without warning. With a bam, it hit Salin's nose. Salin cried out, and blood spurted out of his nose. He covered his nose and squatted down, not understanding why Rex hit him.
After hitting him, Rex felt that Salin was innocent, so she threw out another Spring Rain. The green aura entered Salin's body, and the nosebleed stopped. However, the bridge of his nose hurt badly, and Salin's eyes were filled with tears.
"Why did you hit me?" Salin asked in a muffled voice.
Rex's fist was raised again, and Salin quickly stepped back. His strength wasn't inferior to Rex's, but his fists and feet were much weaker. He covered his nose and glared at Rex. The flush on Rex's face faded. She put down her hand hatefully and asked, "Are you okay?"
"How can I be okay? Let me try punching you."
Salin had been thinking about Rex. He was depressed that he was beaten for no reason, and didn't notice the shyness in Rex's eyes.
Salin couldn't really hit Rex's face with his fist. He could only mumble, "For no reason. It's none of my business. Ouch …"
Hearing him mumble, Rex's anger, which had dissipated, surged up again. He swung his hands and left Salin's room.
As soon as Rex left, Nelis appeared. She took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood off Salin's face. Grinning, she said, "Salin, do you know why you were beaten?"
"How would I know? Rex is crazy."
"Rex isn't crazy, you are. Hey, come here and lie down. " Nelis pulled Salin to lie on the bed. She leaned over and explained to Salin, "I think Rex definitely likes you, but you said this has nothing to do with you. How could she not be angry?"
"Neris, don't talk nonsense again … Huh? You said she likes me? "
"Master, don't you know? I've been reading a book recently, and it says that human emotions are the strangest. We demons like the strong, but humans are different. It didn't matter if you were strong or weak, rich or not, as long as you took a fancy to someone, you would never let go. Although Rex came from a noble family, how many people around her could talk to her? If they weren't subordinates, they would have an agenda. If it were you, I'm afraid you would have to guard against them all, right? "
"That's true, but what does this have to do with me?"
Nelis whimpered and buried her face in the pillow. After a while, she revealed her green eyes and looked at Salin. "She endured a year in the Hell of God's Punishment with you. Do you like her?"
"A little, but it's not like we're getting married, right?"
"Master, have you not developed enough? Let me see! "As Nelis spoke, she was about to take off Salin's clothes. Salin kicked her away. Thinking about Rex's reaction, he still didn't think what Nelis said made sense.
Nelis crawled out from under the bed again. Still in high spirits, she said to Salin, "Master, if you want to know if Rex likes you, it's very easy."
"Tell me."
"Go find her now. No matter what she says, just hug her and kiss her hard. If she likes you, she won't resist. "
"If she doesn't like me, will I be burned to ashes?" Salin looked at Nelis fiercely.
"This is Master's teacher's Magic Tower. How dare she?" Sicar widened his eyes and said in a surprised tone, "At most, she'll chase you out. Master, just go and try."
"Why don't you go?"
"Oh … I'm already an adult. It's impossible for me to become a male. Master, why aren't you interested in me? "
"What interest? Oh, you mean mating? You're a demon. I don't want to have a new breed with you. " Salin's answer was purely a magician's answer. Hearing that, Nelis's spirits dropped a lot. She looked a little sad.
"Sigh, women are so troublesome." Salin couldn't understand what this had to do with Rex's plan. No matter how Rex felt about him, the Hell of God's Punishment couldn't be left unresolved, right?
"Sicar isn't troublesome, but don't you have the same attitude? Master, there must be something wrong with you. "Nelis said with resentment.
"What kind of attitude is that!"
"Of course it's the attitude of a contracted creature. You don't want me, and you don't allow me to be with someone else. Am I going to die?" Nelis's words were nasty. To be fair, no contracted creature had been like this before her.
"When did I say you can't be with someone else?"
"That's what you said. When I mate with someone else, you can have fun with me." Nelis purposely twisted her face and made an extremely scary face.
Salin was terrified. If Nelis really did that, he would be in trouble.
"Nelis, don't do that!"
"You said that, right?"
"We're talking about Rex. Why are you saying this?" Salin couldn't win against Nelis in an argument. He felt it was extremely ridiculous. Contracted creatures only needed to listen and do things, but this one of his had extremely complicated thoughts. It was also his fault for being inexperienced and signing a soul contract for no reason at all.
Nelis snorted heavily. She had instigated Salin to harass Rex. If this went wrong, Rex wouldn't bother Salin anymore. Unfortunately, Salin didn't believe her at all. This plan failed.
In Nelis's eyes, Sicar was a much better choice than Rex.
Firstly, Sicar's brain was relatively simple. If she was with Salin, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the future. Secondly, Sicar's physical quality was quite strong, almost comparable to some creatures in the Demonic Plane. A child born with such a physique would be very strong. As Salin's soul-contracted creature, if Nelis didn't want to be affected after Salin's death, following his descendants was also a good idea.
This kind of bloodline contract transfer was relatively safe. If Salin gave her to someone unrelated before he died, then Nelis would be in trouble. Her soul might be hurt, or she might be forcefully sent out of the plane. If Salin died accidentally, she didn't know what would happen to her.
Demons were all sly. They would always leave a safer way out for themselves.
Rex returned to his room. He couldn't even meditate for a while. He just looked out the window angrily. What was Salin's attitude? Even though the two of them didn't say anything, at least they had gone through life and death together. There should be some feelings, right?
Salin was like a rock, hard and unresponsive to anything other than magic. He didn't like to discuss art, and didn't pursue a refined life. It didn't matter to him. What was infuriating was that he didn't even have a normal reaction at this time. Did he become ugly in these two years?
As an archmage, Rex's mind was filled with thoughts that only a naive little girl would have at this moment.
Marry Salin in exchange for the support of Seriger Island? Absolutely not! Rex pounded his fist on the bed, angry with himself. After being angry for a while, Rex became sad again when he thought of his dead father. His father was gone. Although he still had the status of a king, he was like duckweed, with no foundation.
Without the support of Holy Rock City, Kushui Prefecture was just a small country with a regular army of twenty thousand, about the same as a hereditary duke. His uncle didn't support him, his brother didn't know any better, and there wasn't much hope for him to avenge his father.
So what if he was a level-six Mage? He couldn't overthrow the Vatican by himself.
After being sad for a while, Rex calmed himself down and said to himself, Rex, Rex! Father gave you this name because he wanted you to be as strong as a man. Didn't Salin come from nothing to where he is now? If he can do it, why can't I?
No matter how strong the Vatican was, they were just like Alchemy City, with serious internal strife. Otherwise, they would take the opportunity of his father's death to attack Jia Loulan. For their own interests, the nobles' armies wouldn't fight the knights of the Vatican to the death.
If Jason wanted his family's magic heritage, he could just find a way to get it for him. The heritage came from Alchemy City anyway. Other than magic, the Glücos family also had their family's secret skills, which could be cultivated by both Mages and Swordsmen. The Glücos family couldn't have built such a powerful empire with just a magic heritage.
Jason wanted this heritage because he wanted to find a way to become a level-10 Mage. If Jason found it, he would definitely teach it to Salin. Would Salin hide it from her?
After thinking this through, Rex was no longer angry. She suddenly understood that Jason was telling her that if both parties were just making a deal, no one could guarantee what the final result would be.
The Mages on Glücos Island were united because they had common interests. There were very few common interests between him and these mages, and it would take too much time to cultivate mutual trust between them. If she agreed to this, then all the Mages on the island would see hope.
Salin's teacher was indeed a very smart person.
