"Your suggestion? What I want to say is, if you can't defend against Deep Blue Roar, then don't even think about attacking Pale Earth. " Salin continued to shake his head. His strength had improved by leaps and bounds, but he had an accurate understanding of himself. He could easily deal with those below the High Mage realm, but it would be best to take a detour against those above the High Mage realm.
Perhaps the Magic Shooters of Seriger Island had a way to surround Pale Earth, but he might not win even with the Three Lords.
Pale Earth was a type of Ice Field Giant Bear. It was close to ten meters long and was a level-nine magical beast. Its talent spell was the extremely terrifying Deep Blue Roar. When enraged, this level-nine spell had an attack range of more than five hundred meters.
Five hundred meters was its strongest attack range. If magic attenuation range was taken into account, a magical beast like Pale Earth could attack a target a mile away. It could be said that it was one of the strongest magical beasts on land. Salin's Cloud Walk spell had already reached its peak at this level. His flying speed was only around sixty miles per hour, or thirty meters per second.
This meant that if Salin got close to Pale Earth and attacked with his crystal finger, if Pale Earth didn't die, Salin would need thirty seconds to escape its attack range.
Thirty seconds? Most magical beasts' talent spells were instantaneous. Even if Salin had a level-eight spell like Water Mirror, he would still be killed by Pale Earth.
If not for his crystal finger, Salin had no spells that could harm this level-nine magical beast.
"Pale Earth's magic core can be exchanged for a magic cannon in Alchemy City." Helene threw out the bait.
"Magic cannon? I already have one. Give me twenty years, and I'll be able to replicate the magic matrix inside. "Salin smiled, completely shattering Helene's fantasy.
Salin had a magic cannon! Helene reevaluated her relationship with Salin. She didn't know much about Salin, and Ainphent wouldn't tell her anything in private. She still didn't know that Salin had the support of Seriger Island besides the Bitter Water Prefecture.
Magic cannons and magic stone cannons only differed by one letter, but they were completely different in nature. Magic cannons represented the highest power of magic. If Salin's city had more than four magic cannons, he could render the enemy's siege weapons useless. For example, War Puppets.
Since they could not use large siege weapons, the attackers would have to pay a heavy price to break through the city walls.
"Our main target is the red krill. As for the magical beasts on the ice, we only target those below level eight. We must stay far away from any magical beasts of the ninth rank. "Salin's words weren't just for Helene to hear. He was warning everyone present. Because he had faced a giant dragon before, he knew that when the gap in strength reached a certain level, any tricks would be useless.
The best way to kill a magical beast of the ninth rank was to surround it. There had to be at least two High Mages and one Gold Sword Saint among the attackers to ensure that they wouldn't get hurt.
There were many Silver Sword Saints on the continent, but Gold Sword Saints were pitifully rare. Moreover, at that level of swordsmanship, the Gold Sword Saint had already become an existence similar to a Magic Shooter. In addition to its terrifying attack range, it could also fly. Salin did not think that he could recruit a Gold Sword Saint, so he had never thought of killing a level-nine magical beast.
If all the magicians from Serrigor Island were here, they would be able to easily kill Pale Earth with a huge magic circle, but now he didn't stand a chance.
However, Salin heard a useful piece of news. Magical cannons could be exchanged with the magic cores of level-nine magical beasts. Salin had obtained level-nine magic cores in Rafael's magic tower. When he heard this news, he was tempted at first. He planned to use these cores to exchange for magical cannons, but then he realized that the magicians from Alchemy City were not stupid. Why would they make a losing trade?
These level-nine magic cores must have a special use, and their value was even higher than the magical cannons themselves.
"Then what do we do now?" Seeing that Salin was unwilling to carry out the dangerous hunt, and that the alchemy ship was moving at a slow speed, Ainphent couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had wanted to listen to Helene's opinion. His summoned creature was an undead plant, which was only useful for hunting on land. In the water, his combat power was greatly reduced.
Salin glanced at Ainphent. He thought to himself, Ainphent isn't sinister enough. Helene was clearly unhappy with Shika, which was why she suggested this. If he went to hunt Pale Terra, as a warrior, Shika would definitely protect him. She would be the first to get hurt.
A young lady from a noble family was really petty. She wanted to hurt Shika? Hmph, the benefits in the future have nothing to do with you. Salin thought. Although he didn't hate Helene to the extent that he hated her, he had already secretly thrown her out of the core of his interests.
It wasn't that Ainphent wasn't smart, but he was the same as the original Salin. He used most of his intelligence on magic training. He was extremely indifferent to the feelings between men and women, so naturally he wouldn't think of this. Salin had only become sensitive after what had happened between him and Shika.
If Helene's level was higher and she was a dangerous person, Salin would probably have already taken action. He would kill this woman first. But Helene's strength was too low. To Salin, she was like a Magic Shooter looking at Salin. They were both very small existences. Even Shika could easily kill Helene, so Salin was only slightly annoyed and didn't show it.
"The map in this magic compass is not complete. I'm making a map," Salin replied. Helene had only made maps on the surface of the water, but Salin's Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship searched underwater, and the magic compass formed an underwater map. Plus, Helene's previous maps had too many blank areas. Those were places that Helene's ship couldn't reach.
Salin's goal was very simple. Before entering the Frozen Sea, he wanted to scan the surrounding terrain of the Frozen Sea. The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship moved slowly under the water. No magic beasts would attack, so he could easily complete the map. With a complete map, his fleet could enter and leave the Frozen Sea more safely in the future.
Helene still didn't know that Salin was already wary of her. In her opinion, Shika was just a tool that Salin was using. She didn't know that Shika was Salin's most reassuring family in the world. Salin saw through her little scheme, so she wouldn't be able to develop much in the future.
On the other hand, if she wasn't still useful to him, Salin would immediately turn against her.
Salin also didn't know that his personality was slowly changing. If it was before, he wouldn't have buried this in his heart. If Rex were here, he would be able to see everything clearly. Maybe Rex would think that Salin had improved and knew his priorities.
Salin needed a large number of magic cores. Other than the defense of the city, he also needed to open the passage to the Hell of God's Punishment. The consumption of the interplanar teleportation portal was quite terrifying. Rex's years of accumulation was almost used up because of this teleportation.
The first time to find the coordinates was the most exhausting. But even if the coordinates were fixed, the consumption of magic cores wouldn't be reduced too much. Salin couldn't expect Rex to sell everything he had. Most of the people who would enter the Hell of God's Punishment during the first teleportation would be mages from Seriger Island. He still had to pay for this himself.
Seriger Island was indeed rich, but Salin didn't want to rely on his teacher for everything. Only when he had money and power could his teacher give him more support. Salin had gradually become clear about his future. He wouldn't rely on other people's charity to get by.
After the meal, the mages all wanted to rest. Now that the alchemy ship was crawling under the sea, they didn't need to control it. Salin followed Shika back to her room. Neris forcefully followed him, so Salin didn't dare to follow her out.
Neris rolled her eyes and said, "Master, that Helene has bad intentions towards Sister Shika. Are you just going to tolerate her?"
Salin didn't answer, but Shika said, "Forget it. She's not Salin's friend or subordinate. She's just a collaborator. Right now, Salin still needs her investment and use her reputation to attract more business families. "
Neris and Salin both looked at Shika strangely. Shika laid on the bed casually and said, "Don't think that I don't know anything. You two, tell me. What's the matter?"
Salin had a whole new level of respect for Shika. Originally, he was most worried that Shika was too naive and easily tricked. Could it be that after becoming a priest, Shika's brain had been modified?
"Salin, why are you looking at me like that? How do you think I brought thousands of Caucasians to you? "
"I'm just … very happy." Salin laughed. Shika just didn't care, but it wasn't that she didn't understand. That was good. Salin would have less to worry about in the future. Also, most people would be fooled by Shika's appearance. Just like Daniel. He looked honest and kind, but no one could imagine how ruthless this necromancer was.
If not for Salin and Rex's countermeasure, Daniel would also be a difficult guy to subdue. If it was Salin, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could survive after being chased for 20,000 miles by the Vatican. Daniel was still a level-three mage then.
"Master, you really don't plan on punishing her?" Neris looked indignant.
"Neris, what do you think is a punishment?" Salin asked seriously.
"Of course it's to kill her and take all the money."
"Then who would dare to do business with me in the future? Neris, I'm a merchant, not a robber. "
"Anyway, I can't just let it go like this." Neris wanted the world to be in chaos.
"At most, all the ships I sold to her will have magic flaws. If one day she really does something she shouldn't do, I'll make them all sink." Salin smiled and pushed Neris out of the room. Then, he locked the door and cast a silence spell. He had just finished a few actions when Shika dragged him onto the bed from behind. She said, "Why are you in such a hurry? There's plenty of time on the ship."
"Shika, it's not like that … I! Wu … "Salin was pressed down by Shika. His mouth was already blocked by Shika's mouth.
