Seeing Salin's hesitation, the Winged Skeleton explained, "Master, when Judy Coco was making the alchemy ship, he left a trick behind. If I didn't leave it behind, any revenant could invade and control the ship."
"Oh?" Salin raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew Judy Coco wouldn't be so kind. When the ship was underwater, its combat power had already surpassed that of a living Coiled Turtle. Judy Coco obviously didn't know that Salin's revenants had their own intelligence. That was why he left such an obvious backdoor for the future.
After all, this ship was a piece of equipment that could be brought back to the Undead Plane. The shell of a Coiled Turtle couldn't be found there. For Judy Coco, this ship was also very valuable.
Fortunately, the Winged Skeleton was intelligent and could tell Salin about the flaws of this alchemy ship. As long as Salin was more vigilant, it would be difficult for Judy Coco to steal this ship.
When I learn Water Flame Alchemy, I'll make you happy for nothing!
Salin secretly swore. He realized that only the hot-tempered Diabinas was easy to deal with. Judy Coco and Banchagana were extremely troublesome. Diabinus said what he said and what he said was very straightforward. Judy Coco basically said two out of three things that he said were lies. As for Banchagana, Salin couldn't understand what he was thinking.
After coming ashore and meeting the three lords, they didn't mention the thunder dragon at all, nor did they mention Banchagana's mistake of almost killing Salin.
The city's blueprint was in Salin's hands. He didn't want to take it out now. He just listed out the various building plans and discussed with the mages to start building the city. Salin's original plan was to build the magic tower first. But now that the three lords were here, he couldn't be at ease. The materials for the magic tower could only be stored in dimensional stones.
No matter what, he had to wait until he had enough power to suppress the three lords. Only then would Salin be at ease to take these things out. The alchemy ship incident taught him a great lesson. Most of the time, contracts couldn't bind others.
The weather was getting colder and colder. The river in the north began to freeze. With the help of the three lords, Daniel summoned a large number of revenants to help Salin build the city. This surprised Salin a little. The Three Sovereigns seemed to really intend to live here. Although most of the undead were unintelligent creatures, they were much more useful than humans when it came to work.
Daniel was forced to work very hard. His daily job was to summon the undead. As long as he summoned, all kinds of undead creatures would appear in the Undead Flames. He would only stop when his mind power couldn't support it anymore.
The number of undead on the White Coast continued to increase. Daniel was about to command an undead army. But by this time, he had already woken up. All of this belonged to the three sovereigns and had nothing to do with him. The Three Sovereigns used his Undead Flames to determine the coordinates of the Undead Plane. Those Undead Souls heard the summons of the Sovereigns and entered the summoning array. Otherwise, with his level, he wouldn't be able to summon anything.
Daniel became worried. He came to find Salin and said, "Salin, those three guys …"
"Daniel, I know about summoning the undead. Don't worry, Judy Keke doesn't intend to expand his power here. He just wants to build a city as soon as possible. "Salin said indifferently.
"But they summon thousands of undead every day. If these undead form an army …"
"Daniel, what are you worried about? The undead are different from what we want. Even if they form an army, will they fight with us for land or food? "
"Salin, aren't you worried?"
"What's there to worry about? If the city can't be built, then that's what we should be worried about."
Daniel was a little frustrated that Salin didn't listen to his warning. Salin smiled and patted Daniel's shoulder. "You get your benefits first. Don't worry about what the Sovereigns want to do."
Daniel was a little embarrassed. He had gotten quite a lot of benefits these days. He only felt that something was wrong when he had gotten enough. That was why he came to find Salin. Salin already knew about it, but he didn't take it to heart.
Salin no longer cared about the benefits Daniel had gotten. He was no longer the person who had just left Ceylon City. He had a deeper understanding of benefits.
Salin's foundation was in his teacher, while Jason's was in Serrig Island. When the city was built, all the mages on Serrig Island would arrive and settle in the 36 Magic Towers of the city. By then, even the Three Sovereigns wouldn't be able to do anything. Without the city, that would be the worst outcome.
Rex had already returned to Bitter Water to prepare money and manpower. After the city was built, they could consider looking for the coordinates of the Hell of God's Punishment. They could set up the teleportation circle and let the Magic Shooters on Serrig Island enter the Six Yuan Space to train. It wouldn't be long before a Level-9 Magic Shooter would appear.
Therefore, the only thing Salin had to do now was to build this impregnable city according to Jason's blueprint.
Without these undead, the work of the mages would become much more difficult after winter. The weather in the North was extremely cold. Mages couldn't stand it either. They had to constantly release the power of magic in order to continue working in low temperatures. The undead didn't care about this at all. Even in a snowstorm, the undead would only slow down their movements at most. Their lives wouldn't be in danger.
Tens of thousands of undead worked at the same time. Very soon, the underground foundation of the city was excavated. Salin began to focus on cutting stones near the coast. He had to build the dock first. There were still many reefs underwater. The shore was not smooth either. It was impossible to dock a warship. The stones that Salin cut were directly used for construction. Now, there were thousands of undead waiting for Salin on the shore every day. Every time Salin cut a huge piece of stone, there would be hundreds of undead coming up to move it.
A winch was set up on the shore. The stones in the sea were tied with ropes and dragged up to the shore.
Seeing that the Three Lords didn't show up, Salin began to dig a cave under the dock. He was preparing an underwater dock for the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship. He was now very familiar with controlling the water flow in the gourd. He could cut a two-meter square stone in almost ten minutes. The sea here was extremely deep. The shallowest part was close to a hundred meters. Salin knew that the draft of the largest warship must be more than ten meters. He chose the cave where the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was hidden near the bottom of the sea.
Such alchemy ships would definitely need to be built in the future. Salin dug along the coast. He went hundreds of meters deep before he began to expand the area of excavation.
The snow only arrived in the middle of October. The swordsmen and pirates from Serrig Island all lived in houses made of white stone. They stopped working. On the coast, only the magicians and the undead were busy every day. The leaves of the trees that hadn't been cut were all gone. When the wind blew, the white snow rolled like dust. Other than magicians, it was difficult for ordinary people to move freely in such an environment.
The magicians also had a hard time. They held up the invisible shield and controlled the puppets to cooperate with the undead to carry the stones and build the foundation. The square in the center of the city had been paved. The huge white square had yet to be built. The snow soon reached more than a meter deep.
Salin had been working underwater, so he didn't suffer much. The temperature under the sea didn't change much. Salin didn't need to hold up a magic shield. He had already finished digging the underwater hangar. At this time, some aquatic creatures gradually appeared near the coast. With the death of the Thunder Dragon, this place was no longer a forbidden place for life.
Salin continued to dig. The hangar could be reached directly from the city. It was extremely hidden. The longer he controlled the water flow, the more Salin felt the subtlety of water magic. The softest substance was water. But when the water element vibrated rapidly, the cutting force produced was something that even metal couldn't bear.
The water flow in the gourd could be controlled without using magic strings. This gave Salin the illusion that he was no longer a magician, but a sword saint. Salin couldn't release the water flow too far. He felt like he was losing control after about 80 meters. Even so, it was stronger than the sword aura released by the average black iron sword saint.
The sword aura was extremely sharp, but it didn't last as long and varied as the water flow. The sword aura attack was explosive, but the water flow's endurance was like an alchemy weapon.
Salin felt that his magic strings were about to evolve. If he could find the right opportunity, he could break through the limit of level-four and become a level-five magician. However, Salin was controlling the speed of his advancement. Ever since he went to Serrig Island, Salin realized that his foundation wasn't solid enough. Compared to his teacher's peers, those mages were the true orthodox mages.
So even though the water flow in the gourd was amazing, Salin didn't delay his magic training. He had perfected his flying spell and named it Cloud Walking. This name was very appropriate. Every time Salin flew, there would be a huge cloud enveloping his body.
Salin added an offensive method to the Cloud Walking spell. The steam formed by the water element could attack like a wind blade, and he could condense ice spikes, ice arrows, and ice blades at any time. The Water Pattern Shield was hidden in the cloud, its size random. The smaller the Water Pattern Shield was, the stronger its defensive power was.
As Salin's control over the water element increased, he formed complex mageweaths on the surface of the shield, imitating the golden mageweaths on the Thunder Dragon's body.
The surface of the Water Pattern Shield would occasionally release blue electric currents, but they were all wrapped in the cloud and couldn't be seen clearly from the outside.
Although Salin could simulate the electric currents released by the Thunder Dragon, he couldn't use it in battle. A Water Pattern Shield only consumed the energy of a level-three spell, but with the new mageweath, Salin's magic strings would be used up every time he released an electric current.
Even if it was a level-five spell, Salin could release it twice in a row. This meant that this attack consumed more than a level-five spell, and with Salin's strength, he couldn't even complete it.
