"Jason is right. Since the Devil's Horn and the Sky Island are not willing to help us, why should we care about their feelings? Why don't we send a distress signal? If there's no response in a day, we'll seal the island. "A few of the black-robed mages agreed with Jason.
The mages on Sirigor Island had been living independently for generations. The agreement that had been made thousands of years ago had nothing to do with them. None of them would be willing to give up their volcano formations and fire elemental spirits. This was a good opportunity. If the mages on the other two islands were not willing to help, then sealing the island would be a justifiable reason.
However, everyone knew that it was impossible for the battleships to attack Sirigor Island. The mages did not care about the battleships. Ever since Sirigor Island was built, it had always been self-sufficient. Even if they could not go out to sea, the magic plantation on the island was enough to feed thousands of people.
All of the mages had the same thought. In three years' time, there might be three more Magic Shooters on the island. Apart from the 33 Magic Shooters, there were 188 Grand Mages on Sirigor Island. Among them, there were more than 20 Level-6 mages. Some of them had been stuck at Level-6 for years. Some of them might break through in three years' time. By then, they would be able to capture the fire elemental spirits on their own and would not have to rely on the other two islands and Alchemy City.
"What if the Devil's Horn and the Sky Island really send their mages over?" Lancelot asked a sharp question. If the two islands really did send their mages over, there would be no excuse to seal the island.
The Magic Shooters looked at each other. They did not want to split the fire elemental spirits into four. However, Sirigor Island was the weakest among them.
Should they just seal the island? It would be too obvious.
The atmosphere became heavy. Lancelot was upset. The last Level-9 mage on the island had passed away, and Sirigor Island had lost the ability to talk to the other three organizations on equal terms. Even if there was another Level-9 mage on the island, they would not be in such a difficult situation.
"Let's go back first. I'll craft 36 sets of magical equipment in a month's time to capture the fire elemental spirits. As for sealing the island, let me think about it." Lancelot waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to leave.
"What? Master, you're saying that Sirigor Island is going to be sealed?" Sarin panicked when he heard Jason's idea. Then wouldn't his plan be ruined?
"I'm not sure about Rex, so I didn't tell Lancelot. Salin, you can give up that ship of yours. Let the pirates live on the island for the time being. The town on the island can support them. "
"Teacher, Rex is going back to the Kushui County. In three years, the Church will be attacking Qin Yin."
"How could it be that easy? Qin Yin had quite a number of Level Nine Mages. Sacred Rock City alone had three. The Vatican only dares to show off in the Divine Grace Duchy. If you ask them to step on Qin Yin's land, they must have the guts to do so. "
Jason's calm expression made Salin rub his hands anxiously. In three years, the War Puppets of Holy Rock City would be completed. At that time, there would be no need for the Bitter Water Prefecture. Even if they did not lose their territory, Rex would have no room for development when he returned. Besides, he hadn't returned for three years. How would the people in Kushui County know what had happened to Rex?
If Rex brought a group of Magic Shooters back now, he could immediately counterattack Jia Loulan and expand his power. In three years, Sacred Rock City would have everything ready. The position of the Bitter Water Prefecture would be even more awkward. They would not be able to gain anything from this war that would affect all the countries on the continent.
It was already September. The Knights of the Vatican had probably crossed the middle line of Jia Loulan. In three years? Who knew what would happen in three years?
"Teacher, you have to talk to Rex again." Salin said anxiously.
Jason smiled. He patted Salin's shoulder and said, "She should be the one anxious about this, not you. Aren't you afraid of losing out by being so anxious? "
"Teacher, that Half Bitwall is mine. How could I lose out?"
"It's better if it's all yours." Jason said gently. Salin's heart trembled.
"Teacher, you're not going to deal with Rex, are you?"
"Not yet. Rafael's relics are in the Half Bitwall. He was a Level Ten Mage, but Seriger Island also has the wealth left behind by a Level Ten Mage. The value of the Volcano Magic Formation is not lower than Rafael's Magic Tower. The Six Yuan Space is important, but it's not something to be anxious about. We need to avoid other people's eyes and ears. Think about it, if this news is leaked, not only the Vatican will get the coordinates of that Half Bitwall, but other forces in Alchemy City will also get their hands on it. "
"Isn't it the same in three years?" Salin didn't understand what was the difference.
"Salin, the Fire Elemental Spirits are much more useful than you think. This Magic Formation has been running automatically for a thousand years. The Fire Elemental Spirits bred in it are enough to make four Semi-Divine Weapons. With these four Semi-Divine Weapons, we will have the power to fight against any force in the Myers Continent. "
Salin remembered the content written in the Demon Magic Book he had obtained. The Fire Elemental Spirits born in the Abyss could not even be subdued by humans and Great Demons in those days. This Fire Elemental Spirit was indeed the most powerful life in the world.
"Three years later, if we can gather 36 Magic Shooters and bring four Demigod Tools to open the Demiplane, who do you think will be able to take this Demiplane away from us? I don't covet Rex's share, but if the Glücos Royal Family knows about this, they will definitely intervene. Now that we don't have a Level Nine Magic Shooter, what do we have to compete with others? "
Salin didn't refute this time. He thought of Joey in Holy Rock City.
The world created by Rafael was of little significance to ordinary Magic Shooters, but for people like Joey, it had great research value.
If Joey knew about that place, would he not be tempted? If he was tempted, then the 33 Magic Shooters on his teacher's side might not be his match. There were also many Magic Shooters in Holy Rock City. If all of them were involved, Seriger Island would be in an awkward situation.
"Salin, if you can't wait, leave with Rex and come back to me in three years." Jason saw that Salin couldn't make up his mind, so he didn't force him.
"Teacher, do you think it's possible for Nelis to enter the volcano to capture the Fire Elemental Spirits?"
"She's too weak, and don't let your contracted creature do such a dangerous thing. If only she was a Great Demon, sigh … "Jason also sighed. If it wasn't for his teacher's accidental death, Seriger Island wouldn't have so many troubles. A level-9 Magic Shooter could replace the position of six ordinary Magic Shooters and control one direction of the magic array.
"Salin, I've seen Shika and Daniel. They can help you very well. If you want to focus on practicing magic, these people are enough. If you want to help Rex build a country that surpasses Qin Yin, you definitely can't. This is a task that will take decades or even centuries to complete. You're a little anxious now. No matter how anxious you are, the world won't change because of you. You can't stop the Vatican from doing what they want to do. You have no power to resist what Holy Rock City wants to do. What you really need to do is to improve your strength as soon as possible, become a Magic Shooter, and then go to the Half Plane and enter the Six Yuan Space to practice. "
Jason wanted to remind Salin with these words. Salin was indeed too anxious now. What he wanted to do required a long time to accumulate, but he couldn't wait. He always wanted to complete it as soon as possible.
"I … got it," Salin replied bitterly. After all, the time he had spent cultivating was too short. It was impossible for him to have the power to control his destiny. Even Rafael didn't completely control his own destiny.
"Rex's idea is very good. If you plan to leave, let her leave enough items to buy three warships. Don't take that pirate ship. Three warships is enough for you to build a port in the north. Lianyun City doesn't have much power, and they won't go north to fight for that barren land. Salin, I can support you in what you want to do, but I'm not supporting Rex. Do you understand? "
"I understand, but …"
"I can lend you some great Magic Shooters. With these Magic Shooters, of course you will have the capital to be on equal footing with Rex. It's not that the Half Plane isn't important, but it's not as important as the Fire Elemental Sprite. When the matters on Seriger Island are settled, I'll bring people to find you. "
Jason saw that Salin was planning to leave, so he simply put Salin at ease.
"But what about what you said to Rex?"
"What? Oh, you mean I'll let her marry you? Hehe, Salin, if she's willing, it's definitely a good thing. If a Mage wants to marry a wife, it's best if she's also a Mage. If she's willing to marry you, then I'll support her unconditionally about the Demiplane. It'll be yours in the end anyway. "
"I understand, Teacher. I can't bear to leave." Salin lowered his head. He couldn't help but feel sad. He had just met his teacher, and now he had to leave.
"Salin, you have to be independent. Besides, I'm confident that I can break through to the level of a level-8 Magic Shooter soon. It won't be a problem for me to live for a few hundred years. You have to work hard too. If a Mage can't reach level-9, it'll be very difficult for him to get the chance to know the truth of this world. Only level-10 Mages can live freely. In comparison, the turmoil on the continent has nothing to do with us. "
Salin nodded and didn't try to convince Jason. Jason's thoughts were also the thoughts of most Mages. It was enough as long as they could live well. Why should they care about others?
Salin finally made up his mind. It didn't matter if the matter of the Demiplane was dragged on for three years. No matter what happened on Seriger Island, these Mages would always be interested in the Demiplane. He would go to the North to build a port. With the support of his teacher and Rex, and the cowardly Duke of Phoenix, it would not be difficult.
"Teacher, I think we can delay the matter of sealing the island. The more we delay, the more opportunities we have to capture the Fire Elemental Sprite." After Salin made up his mind, he squinted his eyes and began to suggest ideas to Jason.
"Hehe, Salin, you look a lot like me." Jason laughed and said, "Just tell me what you want me to help you with. I was the one who thought of sealing the island. Lancelot is too gentle, so he can't control everything. The next time you see me, I might be the owner of Seriger Island. Now, I can make some decisions. My closest senior is the second level-8 Magic Shooter on the island, Salin. The Mages from our branch can still make decisions. "
