"Salin, this isn't like you!" Rex's tone carried a hint of sarcasm and jealousy.
Salin blushed. His behavior was too obvious. He didn't know what to say to Rex's straightforwardness.
"You still have time to consider. We'll go to the third temple first. There won't be any danger there. Then, we'll send the coordinates back here for the mages to calculate. It'll take at least three months for the results to come out. In order to go to the main temple, I've specially prepared a lot of materials and equipment. Take a look and decide who to bring along to help. "
"Help? What do you mean? " Salin didn't understand. There was no defensive magic array in the temple. No matter what it was, it should have stopped working after tens of thousands of years.
"You don't know? The Black Satan that was chased by the four empires disappeared in the Purgatory Desert. Even if the Black Satan didn't survive, he must have left something dangerous behind. You should understand black magic. The devil won't disappear until the source is completely destroyed. "
"You don't think I have someone who can deal with the Black Satan, do you? Even the Three Lords can't do that. "
"The Three Lords?"
Salin briefly explained the origins of the Three Lords. Rex thought for a while and said, "The Three Lords definitely can't deal with the Black Satan. However, the most terrifying thing about the Black Satan isn't his magic, but his physical combat ability. Think about it. A monster with the power of a hundred Shikas, Nelis's creepiness, and Darkness Divine Arts. But the Black Satan is definitely dead. What we might encounter is only a descendant of the devil. "
Descendant? That's not scary. The Terra Dragon is a descendant of the Darkness Dragon. The difference in power is hundreds of times.
"But, Rex, you definitely know what's in the main temple. You have to tell me now. Otherwise, I can't let others take the risk with me. "
Salin suddenly calmed down. He continued, "These people who follow me shouldn't give up everything unconditionally. I'm a mage. I have to give them fair treatment. "
"It's nothing. Goddess Myers has four trees. The Tree of Life, the Tree of Elements, the Tree of Knowledge, and the Tree of Taboo. The seeds of these four trees are in the main temple. "
Salin was suddenly at a loss for words. These four divine trees possessed unparalleled divine power. Since he had obtained a leaf from the Tree of Life, the divine power in his body would almost never be extinguished. No matter how severe the consumption was, as long as he didn't die, his left hand would be restored to its original state.
This was just a leaf. If it were a fruit, he would probably be able to live forever after eating it.
If he had the Elemental Tree, he would be the strongest mage. At the very least, no matter what Forbidden Spell he used, it would not cause him any pressure.
Where's the Tree of Knowledge? That would allow him to possess infinite wisdom and instantly see through the secrets of this world. If he had the Tree of Knowledge, he would only need to use a level-one spell to break all the high-level spells.
If they had the Taboo Tree, it would break the balance of this plane and give birth to a new god. Become a god? This was simply unimaginable.
"Haven't these four trees withered already?" Salin's voice was hoarse. No matter how good his mentality was, he could not remain indifferent to this news.
In the history of Myers Continent, although Myers was not the creator, she was the first god born on this plane. Each of the four divine trees she possessed was equivalent to a clone of the goddess.
"How do you think the Purgatory Desert came about? The God of Light wanted to take advantage of the Myers Continent, so he disregarded the restraints of the plane's rules and forcefully descended. That time, the four sacred trees burned and created the Purgatory Desert. The God of Light almost died and dared not descend on this plane ever again. He only let his believers spread his teachings. "
This news was even more shocking. Salin did not ask Rex how he knew. The Glücos family had a very ancient history that could be traced back to the Second Dynasty. It was normal for a family with such an ancient bloodline to pass down some secrets.
Salin tried to calm himself down and asked, "Rex, let's assume that this is true. There are four seeds of the sacred trees there, but how many years will it take for these seeds to grow into sacred trees?"
"Not too long, at most ten to twenty thousand years."
Salin heaved a sigh of relief. Rex continued, "But I have a way to let them grow in a few years."
Salin smiled bitterly and said, "Since you told me all this, I have no choice but to go."
"How can that be? Not to mention our friendship, I can't even offend your teacher. If you don't intend to go, I will find someone else to help. Of course, don't even think about the four sacred trees. "Rex revealed a sly look, which was rare. She had calculated that Salin could not reject this invitation just for the sake of the Elemental Trees.
"I only have one question. Apart from you, who else knows about the seeds of these four trees?"
"No one else. I only got this news from the God Sieve Ring after my father passed away. If I died, the person who inherited the God Sieve Ring would pass this news on. "
"If I knew this, I wouldn't have asked," Salin said gloomily. Only he knew about this secret. This was not a good thing, and definitely not something to be proud of.
"Salin, you've become timid!" Rex sighed. She realized that Salin had lost his usual sharpness.
"I can't help it. There are too many people following me. I have to be responsible for them."
"You don't look like a Scottinyan." Rex immediately understood what Salin meant. She changed into an intimate tone and teased Salin. She had experienced this change before, so she understood Salin's words very well.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Since there's no one else around, tell me your plan." Salin knew that he had to go. Rex had told him the secret. If he did not go, there would be too much trouble.
"We need about 20 people to go to the main temple. There will definitely be casualties. You have to be mentally prepared." Rex's words were a little cold, but Salin understood. This kind of adventure sometimes depended on luck. It did not mean that you would be fine just because you were strong enough. Perhaps in ancient times, humans didn't take Gods seriously. But now, the Purgatory Desert was enough to make most of the human powerhouses stop.
"Salin, it was originally quite dangerous, but you have a ready-made magic chariot, so it's much safer. But skeleton warhorses cannot enter the Purgatory Desert. The aura left behind by the Goddess will directly burn the soul of the skeleton warhorse. If we can get a mechanical undead to pull the chariot, we can save a lot of time in the Purgatory Desert. "
"Mechanical undead? Ask the Three Lords yourself. What kind of monsters are they? We can't control them at all. "
"There are no undead that we can't control. As long as they get one out, after we subdue it, I will send all the Great Mages to calculate a safe contract formula and forcefully capture it."
Rex's idea was definitely whimsical, but that was indeed how the summoning spell was created in the beginning. Forcefully capture a living creature, then use a magic formula to calculate its weakness. The mages would then design a suitable contract for this living creature. But later on, there were too many branches of contract magic. Most species had a common contract formula, so no one used this stupid method anymore.
Not everyone could do this. At least, they had to be like Rex, who had a large number of mages.
"Alright, let's leave the matter of the mechanical undead for now. I will bring Sicar, Neris, and Zola. You will be responsible for the rest." Salin quickly made a decision.
Sicar and Neris could be trusted among the people around him. Zola's sword skills were the strongest. Although this person was unreliable, his combat ability was undeniable. If Sicar and Neris didn't use their special abilities, they wouldn't even be able to withstand one move from Zola, let alone defeat him.
From this point of view, Zola might not be able to defeat Neris and Sicar, but if they fought together, Zola would definitely surpass the two women around Salin. By the time Nelis killed ten enemies, Zola might have already killed more than fifty. Moreover, Zola was a Sword Saint. After being buffed by magic, the effect would far surpass Neris and Sicar, who didn't know sword aura.
Salin made this choice because he didn't want to bring the mages from Seriger Island. After all, the mages would face greater danger in this adventure. There were so many mages around Rex, so he would let her handle them all.
Rex smiled and comforted Salin. "When I go back this time, my teacher has prepared a sufficient amount of magic liquid for me. As long as the person isn't dead, I can even let the injured bathe in magic liquid."
Salin revealed a hint of warmth. There was a daily limit to the amount of magic liquid that a level-eight Magic Shooter could make. It would take a lot of time for Rex's teacher to prepare so much magic liquid, and it might even affect his training.
"I'll bring two level-five mages, four level-four mages, two Black Iron Sword Saints, and the rest will be advanced Swordsmen. Oh yes, there's also a chef, "Rex said with a smile.
"Chef?"
"The one I picked up in the West Town of Holy Rock City, the Hercules who competed with Sicar in strength."
"Ha!" Salin remembered that honest and straightforward fellow.
After choosing the candidates, Rex and Salin continued to discuss about the equipment. Before Rex returned, she had prepared a large amount of equipment. However, knowing that Salin had already mastered Water Flame Alchemy, Rex made a new plan and asked Salin to forge magic armor for all the accompanying swordsmen.
Next, Salin and Rex began to measure the coordinates of the temple, and started to build a teleportation circle around the temple and the surroundings. The teleportation circle of the temple was very small, and could be built first. This teleportation circle couldn't teleport living beings, but could only teleport items, so it was relatively easy to build. Salin, on the other hand, told Neris and Sicar about Rex. He didn't tell Zola about the secret of the four sacred trees, but only told Zola that this adventure was definitely worth it.
