[Let me tell everyone, both groups are full. Only the badge group still has space. I'll try to top up in the next two days and get a QQ member. I'll make a few advanced groups. I'm sorry to everyone. Those who didn't join are really out of space.]
Passatro and Cornuco took Salin's token and the letter written by Salin himself, and left the city base overnight. They took a ship of sailors and followed the route Rex had taken to Lianyun City.
In this way, there were only two level-four mages and some low-level mages left in the city base. These two level-four mages were slightly older and had no hope of becoming a Magic Shooter in this lifetime. They were also experienced and prudent. They might not be able to help Salin in battle, but they were good at management. This was also the reason why Jason let them follow Salin.
Although the three Lords could not be used by Salin, they would temporarily protect Salin's safety. As long as Salin did not leave the White Coast, he would not be afraid even if the people of the Vatican came back.
On the Coiled Turtle alchemy ship, the Winged Skeleton had already executed more than twenty black-armored warriors of the Inquisition. When these warriors died, there were divine symbols escaping from their bodies. Under the control of the Winged Skeleton, only a few of them flew out of the Coiled Turtle alchemy ship.
The Vatican could at most get a vague message that there had been undead who had tortured the followers of the God of Light.
Nelis's injuries were also gradually recovering. She had a soul contract with Salin. In fact, even if the judgment of hell destroyed her soul space, Salin could help her repair it. As long as her soul was not broken, it would be difficult for Nelis to die even if she wanted to. Now that Salin had the Winged Skeleton by his side, Nelis's soul could be transformed into an undead to continue existing even if her body was destroyed.
However, Salin did not want this to happen. He still hoped that Nelis would have flesh and blood. In that strange soul space, Salin clearly remembered that he saw Nelis's soul had turned into a human form.
A demon's body, a human's soul.
Salin still had a lot of building materials on hand. The magic tower could not be built for the time being, because there was a magic tower and there were no mages to guard it. Salin simply asked the Three Lords to help with the construction of ordinary buildings. Judy and Coco would still help with this matter. After all, it was a bunch of low-level undead who were doing the work. The magicians and swordsmen of Serrig Island were more meticulous in their work.
The people that Jason sent to Salin were very experienced in construction. The cities on Seriger Island were often renovated to train the abilities of the magicians. The city in front of them was only a little bigger, but the construction method did not change much.
The Shrine in the center of the city was built. The Shrine imitated the specifications of Goddess Myers' Shrine, but it didn't worship any gods. The shrine was surrounded by plazas and trees that had not been cut down. The plazas were divided into twenty-four small pieces.
The lower level of the temple would be used to build a teleportation portal in the future. As long as Rex found the coordinates of the demiplane and did some calculations, he would be able to enter the Hell of Godly Punishment. The only problem was that the coordinates couldn't be too accurate. The Hell of God's Punishment had periodic volcanic eruptions. If he teleported there, he would be in the middle of a volcanic eruption, and even a High Mage would be in great danger.
Six Magic Towers were left around the temple, and only then did they begin to expand in all directions. Salin had a plan in mind. This Shrine didn't worship any gods. In his mind, this was a Magic Shrine. In the future, he wanted to build a place of faith for the magicians. Alchemy City was too unscrupulous. It wasn't a paradise for magicians.
The more threats he received from the Vatican, the stronger the resistance in Salin's heart grew. In his opinion, the Vatican was too greedy to extend their reach so far away even though they were tens of thousands of miles away. Sooner or later, the Vatican's greed would turn the continent into a bloody battlefield. The fanaticism of the believers was hard to understand. If a person chose to believe, it was equivalent to giving up on himself. They didn't even have to think about what God wanted them to do.
This was the weakness of humans. If they left their future in the hands of God, they wouldn't have to think or work hard. As long as they had faith, they could enter the Kingdom of Heaven after death. Although the believers were brave on the battlefield, that was because they had already received the promise of God and had nothing to worry about. Some even wanted to die in battle.
Salin was very disgusted by this. When Goddess Myers was still around, she never made such a wish for her believers. Back then, even if humans believed in God, they had never become as weak as they were today. What Rex did was to let everyone regain their sense of self, so Salin was more and more supportive of Rex's idea.
But he couldn't always work for Rex. He had his own ideals. Now, this ideal was not only his own pursuit of liberation and freedom. He also hoped, like Rafael, to do something for every magician.
His teacher might have the same idea. It could be seen from the blueprint of this city that the power of magic was maximized. As long as the city was successfully built, it would be a fortress comparable to Holy Rock City. When the 36 Magic Towers were activated at the same time, they would form a huge domain-like space. Within the scope of this city, no one would be able to fly over without permission. In other words, this kind of city could be attacked in the most primitive way, using the bodies of warriors to climb over the city walls and tear apart the defense line.
The Knights of the Vatican had their wings broken in Holy Rock City. Holy Rock City made it impossible for the high-level mages of the Vatican to fly, so they could only rely on the knights to attack the city walls. However, the mountain-like city walls buried the most elite Knights of the Vatican.
Although the city designed by Jason was completely different from Holy Rock City, the idea was the same. Ordinary cities would rely on dense alchemy crossbows to defend against mages or mages flying in the sky, but Holy Rock City relied on a large number of magic clocks. As long as the Magic Shooters activated the sound of the magic clocks, no mages or mages could fly in the entire area of Holy Rock City.
Salin was full of admiration for his teacher's design. The entire city was under the protection of 36 Magic Towers. As long as there was a Magic Shooter in six Magic Towers, they would be able to unleash close to half of the city's power, which was enough to make the skies of the entire city safe. If there were no Magic Shooters, gathering 36 level-six mages could barely do it.
Coupled with the use of the Dante sequence on the city walls, this city was even harder to conquer than Holy Rock City. Unfortunately, the cost of building the Dante sequence was also huge, so the scale of this city was destined to be small. However, Holy Rock City was the capital of a country. This was just a city that belonged to mages, so a small scale was enough.
Daniel had been bullied by Banchagana previously, so he was much closer to Salin now. He was no longer as narrow-minded as before, and focused on the construction of this city. He also knew that if this city was built, as Salin's follower, the benefits he would receive would be too great.
Although Daniel was from the Tanggulas Empire and feared the Vatican more than Mage Qin Yin, he had no other way out. If he was captured by the Vatican, he would be burned to death. Under such circumstances, anyone would be dead set on following the Vatican.
The scale of the city expanded day by day, and there were already more than a mile of buildings around the Shrine. There were too many white stones, all of which were top-notch construction materials. The coastal area already looked like a port. After a large amount of stone was mined, a white bay was formed.
On the north side of the shrine, Salin had built a huge library. Something like a library only existed in the Cloud Flow Empire, but that was also a place for the nobles. The library that Salin had built was targeted at mages. Many mages did not have enough money to rent magic books, so they could only watch as time passed without being able to learn the relevant knowledge.
Salin's library was not free, and books were not allowed to be taken out. Borrowing magic books in the library was at least ten times cheaper than borrowing in the Empire.
To borrow an ordinary magic book, it would cost at least two hundred gold coins. Salin decided to keep the price at around twenty gold coins. This price was more affordable for mages. As for free, Salin had never thought about it. If one wanted to obtain something, they had to pay a price. Who would cherish something that was obtained for free?
To the east of the Shrine, which was also the direction of the coast, Salin used a huge piece of white rock to carve out a rectangular building. This rectangular white building was also designed according to the Dante sequence. It looked like it was built with huge pieces of white rock, but in fact, it was a single entity.
The building was more than three hundred meters long and connected with the rock underground. It took a lot of effort to build the drainage pipe. Salin would use this building for his followers. In the future, various facilities would be gradually added. Although the rock building was sturdy, it was a bit cold. So, every room in the building was carved with many magic patterns to improve the living environment.
Although this building couldn't let mages unleash their power more than ten times like the Magic Tower, as Salin's followers increased, it was equivalent to a huge Magic Tower.
To the south of the Shrine was a garden. Because it was winter, the garden was only in its early stages. Some ancient withered trees were preserved, and wooden houses were carved directly from them. The other flowers and plants weren't planted yet. Only a man-made lake was dug. The city was close to the sea, so digging a well wasn't practical. The lake was used to store water. In case of war, a man-made lake could guarantee the water supply of the city's residents.
To the west of the Shrine was a nine-story building. This was the city's administrative center. A mage's city also needed to be managed. Alchemy City had an organization called the Elemental Hand. This building was in charge of the city's administrative operations. In the future, various merchant groups would enter the city and deal with them here.
After the construction around the Shrine was completed and six Magic Towers were built around it, the Shrine would be completely protected. It would be difficult for outsiders to enter the Shrine. A teleportation matrix would be built underground. The six Magic Towers could hide the elemental waves emitted when the matrix was operating.
