Salin looked at the bowl-sized hole in the stone that penetrated ten meters away. The hole was extremely smooth, forming a perfect circle.
The attack power of this Crystal Finger not only exceeded that of a mid-level spell, but it was also much sharper than the sword aura of a Sword Saint. At least Salin knew that if Zola attacked, even with Tear Stain, it would be impossible to penetrate ten meters into the stone. If this white stone was attacked with a low-level spell, it would not leave much of a mark.
Salin checked the magic strings in his body. No more, no less. He had used up half of them. It seemed that he could not use this spell unless he encountered a particularly powerful enemy! No matter how good a spell was, if it could only be used twice in a row, it would be less useful in actual combat.
Salin also knew that the key to this spell was Rafael's crystal ring. Without the crystal ring, his entire arm would be shattered after this spell was released.
After the demon bracelet was inlaid with the dragon crystal, Salin's magic strings were exhausted. It would only take half an hour to fully recover. If he did not meditate and just absorbed the energy in the dragon crystal, he could recover the magic strings in his body in an hour.
Salin did not continue practicing Crystal Finger, but began to practice Water Flame Alchemy. Blue water flames emerged from Salin's palm and floated in the air. Tornadoes formed by Snow Kill began to appear in the room. From the gourd at Salin's waist, a six-meter-long blue stream of water flew out and wrapped around his body.
The temperature in the room dropped sharply, and ice crystals began to appear on the walls. Salin's series of spells all had freezing properties. Water flames had the lowest temperature, but the energy was restrained. However, Snow Kill was difficult to control. Six tornadoes stuck to the ceiling, protecting Salin in the middle.
Salin took the materials and began to forge weapons. Most of his subordinates still used ordinary weapons. During the trip to the Chaos Swamp, the weapons he had forged for the pirates had also collapsed.
Alchemy weapons had a lifespan, and his forging method could only be used for emergencies.
Salin was now forging weapons while controlling the six tornadoes formed by Snow Kill. He finally understood why his teacher dared to provoke a Mage with a Magic Tower.
Many spells were derived and did not have to be at a certain level to be used. However, the requirements for derived spells were very high. Mages without inheritance might not even know that there was such a field in magic.
Salin was now only a fifth-level Mage, but he could release Snow Kill, which was equivalent to a sixth-level spell. Moreover, the duration of this derivative spell depended on the conditions of the derivative spell. However long Salin's Water Flame could last, Snow Kill could last for at least half of that time.
Of course, this referred to non-combat situations, when the elements had not dissipated. Only then could a mid-level spell be maintained for such a long time.
Water Flame Alchemy was also an advanced spell, but unlike ordinary advanced spells, the level of Water Flame Alchemy did not change with the mage's advancement.
To be precise, Water Flame Alchemy was like this: A 7th Rank Mage could only use Water Flame of the 7th Rank, and an 8th Rank Mage would have to learn it from scratch in order to master it. After the Water Flame advanced, it would no longer be able to use the Low Level Water Flame. The magic derived from Water Flame Alchemy was the same.
Salin was currently using a Level Five Water Flame. This level of Water Flame had never appeared before, and the attack power of the resulting Snow Slaughter was a level higher, which was also something that had never appeared before. His body had been modified, which greatly affected his water magic. No matter how talented other Magicians were, they would not have such an effect.
Just like that, Salin practiced Crystal Finger once, and then practiced Water Flame Alchemy for a while. At the same time, he controlled Snow Kill and Water Cut, keeping his mental strength in a state of rapid consumption.
Every time Water Flame disappeared, Salin's remaining mental strength was only enough to cast one Level-0 spell. But this was enough. Salin took out his family badge, cast a Level-0 spell, and put his body in a negative state, then meditated to recover.
The results of this training were astonishing. By February of the second year, Salin felt that his accumulation had finally improved a little. If there were no accidents, he would reach the edge of advancement after two years of such high-intensity training.
There were not many changes to the Magic String. Without advancement, the number of Magic String branches would not change. The biggest change was in mental strength. Salin felt that his mental strength had definitely reached the requirements of a Magic Shooter. Because he had vaguely touched on some of the secrets of a Magic Shooter. Although he did not have the ability of a Magic Shooter, Salin could see the direction.
The construction of the city was extremely fast. The three lords were reduced to hard labor, commanding thousands of specters to quickly expand the periphery of the city center. These specters did not know fatigue, and the construction of the city was extremely fast. Almost every day, more than ten buildings were completed according to the blueprints. In more than 70 days, the main buildings on the east side of the city were all completed, and the city walls were also starting to take shape. The buildings on the north and south sides were also mostly completed. The only things that were not built were the harbor and the Magic Tower.
One day, Salin was forging his necklace when Nelis suddenly ran over and said to Salin, "Master, that Helene brought someone back."
"Helene?" Salin remembered. That was the young lady of the Williams family. He had let her go, but he did not expect the Williams family to react so quickly. It had only been a few months, and before winter was over, they had already sent someone back.
"Where is she?"
"In the city hall." Nelis did not bring Helene to the temple. After the three lords were done, the surroundings of the temple became a restricted area. Outsiders were not allowed to enter.
"Who is receiving them?"
Salin had not waited for Rex to return. There was no problem with the construction, but everyone here was his own people. The city hall had not arranged for anyone.
"It's Daniel."
"Let her wait. Tell Daniel that I will stay with her."
"Master?" Nelis looked at Salin, puzzled.
Salin smiled and said, "My necklace will be finished in a few hours. The Williams family … I am not in a hurry to talk."
"Truman!" Nelis called the magician who was waiting outside. Truman ran in and bowed to greet her. This level 3 magician was now almost Nelis's follower.
Nelis repeated Salin's words and sent Truman away. She stayed in Salin's room.
"Master, those thunder dragon eggs seem to be hatching."
"I know." Salin released Water Flame and threw Myers' necklace into it. Then he added Green Spirit, Green Mud Stone, and Tourmaline. Salin had absorbed the calculation formulas inside Myers' necklace. He could learn it without the necklace. The attributes of the necklace were not bad. It could store mental power and the divinity of the goddess. It could store life force. After adding Green Spirit, it would become a space equipment that could store creatures.
This creature was, of course, a contract creature. The necklace of the goddess had 24 segments. Salin planned to make a large sealing equipment. This necklace could store 24 summoned creatures. The Three Sovereigns had been placed outside by Salin, so they didn't need to be sealed. However, if the Thunder Dragons hatched, they would need special equipment to seal them. Otherwise, if they were kept in the water, Salin didn't know how many hundreds of years it would take for them to grow up.
Green Spirit and Tourmaline could provide special energy for the thunder dragons to grow. Salin had too many of these two things. Tourmaline was obtained from the thunder dragon's lair. Green Spirit was excavated from the mine under the ruins. Salin now had 40 thunder dragon eggs. He could already feel the signs of life hatching inside. They would hatch before the mages of Seriger Island arrived.
Salin was in a hurry to make the necklace. Otherwise, these 40 thunder dragons would be completely wasted.
Inside the necklace of the goddess, there were 24 huge spaces. The walls of each space had become solid. All kinds of alchemy materials had solidified the necklace space. Green Mud Stone had perfectly fused them together and absorbed the divinity of the goddess. The space was filled with countless magic symbols. There were also magic formations and patterns formed by tourmaline.
Every space was filled with water. The water was almost pure, and it was so concentrated that it was close to the concentration of the water element. The magic formations on the walls constantly released blue electric currents. These currents were sealed within the space of the necklace. They did not dissipate and instead kept shuttling back and forth.
As long as Salin kept providing energy, which was the magic core, this space would become the best environment for the thunder dragons to live in. In the natural world, if a Thunder Dragon wanted to grow and advance, it needed to absorb electricity. When a Thunder Dragon hatched, it could still receive its mother's help. But after a year, the mother Thunder Dragon would drive away her child. After that, its growth would be exceptionally difficult.
This method of raising thunder dragons was obtained from Judy Coco. Judy Coco had used this secret in exchange for a part of their freedom. That was why Salin and Ainphent did not seal the three away. Instead, they had been commanding the undead to build the city.
Ainphent naturally knew this secret too. However, he did not have Salin's elemental control ability. He could only wait for the thunder dragon to hatch and turn it into an undead. Then, he would use another method to raise it.
"Sir!"
Zola's voice came from outside the door. He and the four beast swordsmen had been guarding Salin's room most of the time, apart from practicing their swordsmanship in front of Salin.
"What's the matter?" Salin calmly controlled the water flame. His ability to control the water flame had reached the acme of perfection. He could even use it to kill his enemies directly. Talking to others would not cause him to lose control of the water flame.
"A patrol team from the Gray Family has discovered scouts."
"Scouts?" Salin was stunned. In this kind of weather, where would the army come from? If it was the Vatican, Salin would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. Glory City is over twenty thousand miles away from here. The Vatican's army would not be able to kill their way here. If it wasn't the Vatican, he couldn't think of any army that would be interested in this place.
