[Yesterday's last update is over, so it doesn't count as today's update. There's one more update in the evening. Thank you, everyone. Please continue to recommend me. I'm very pleased.]
Salin didn't say much. He turned around and left with Neris and Shika. He didn't linger for a moment.
Picasso looked at Salin's back. He was a little curious about this young sorcerer. But the young sorcerer did not lie. He did not kill Cauchy himself.
Even if he did, Cauchy was not Master Silva's follower. He changed his route without permission, so he deserved to die. Picasso sneered and rushed in the direction Cang Hong left. It didn't matter whether he killed the two mercenaries or not. Since he had the map, he should find the entrance to the ruins immediately.
Salin and the others ran for more than ten miles before slowing down.
"Captain, will that guy go back on his words?" Silva held her huge stick, ready to fight. She did not believe in the priests of the Holy See. In the Caucasus region, the Holy See spent a lot of manpower and resources to infiltrate every year. Many villages were corrupted and abandoned their faith in nature.
When there were many preachers, good and bad were intermingled. They would use all kinds of tricks. So the orthodox Caucasus and the mages were like fire and water.
"I don't know. It shouldn't be. We're too small." Salin kept his hands in his sleeves, holding his family badge tightly. This was the only weapon that could hurt Deacon Bai. Unfortunately, he had to stick close to her. Salin's hands were full of sweat.
"It's a pity that the Beast Fighting Soul was killed. Otherwise, I could still control a few low-level beasts to hurry." Silva was a little sad. She was too weak to help Salin. Her eyebrows were as sharp as knives. She looked depressed.
"Don't be sad, Silva. I'll help you find another Beast Fighting Soul. I've memorized Deacon Bai's map. It's more than five hundred miles from here to the Phoenix Duchy. It's the narrowest area in the entire Swamp. "
Silva shook her head blankly. She really had no sense of direction. Salin's words were useless.
"Master …"
"What's the matter?" Salin's voice was a little harsh. The little devil had not given up. It was hard for him to be nice.
"Do you want to hurry up?"
"Yes, how is it?"
"I can carry you on my back and run. As long as that woman of yours can keep up with me, I'll be about four times faster than I am now." Salin suddenly felt sorry for Nelis's pitiful look.
No one would be willing to take advantage of the situation to subdue the little devil. It was the nature of demons to tempt humans to make mistakes. It seemed that he should treat Neris better.
Salin thought so, not because Nelis was beautiful, but because he had seen Nelis in her original form. That image … would give many people nightmares. Besides, Nelis was still a boy and a girl. Even if Salin had an amazing appetite, he wouldn't have any fantasies about her. Moreover, Salin was on the run, so it was hard for him to have any youthful feelings.
He looked at his pet purely as a Magician, and this attitude was influenced by Jason Statham. Even though the two of them did not interact much, Salin remembered Jason's every word.
Don't get emotionally involved with your pet. That will kill it.
In the end, Neris still carried Sarlin on her back. She was much taller than Sarlin, so it was not difficult for her to carry a living person on her back. The three of them (? I will often call them that in the future, so I won't explain them one by one. It will affect the pleasure of reading) immediately sped up and fled towards the Phoenix Duchy.
Night fell in the Chaos Swamp. Neris's premonition of danger was stronger than Shika's, so she carefully avoided the dangerous night predators along the way. Neris's long black hair was blown by the wind and brushed against Salin's face.
Her black hair was like silk, and her heart was in a mess.
After all, he was still an insignificant nobody. When Salin and Shika said that, he didn't feel anything. But Neris carrying him on her back and running for her life touched Salin's sensitive heart.
I must become strong, strong like my teacher. Salin thought so and leaned his head on Neris's shoulder. He tightened his body and felt that he was still the child beggar who was shivering in the rain. For a moment, tears flowed down his face.
Master is crying? Neris was a little excited. Different from the fantasies of humans, demons never wanted their masters to be strong. It was best for all humans to be as weak as ants. This was the resentment of many creatures in the plane, including demons.
"Master, I will protect you." Neris said softly and her steps became lighter.
Neris's voice had a kind of magic. Salin calmed down and actually fell asleep on Neris's back. During this time, he had been trying hard to control the whole situation and Cang Hong's team. When others were resting, he was responsible for their safety. When others were fighting, he had to deal with the most dangerous enemies.
Even the strongest person would be tired, not to mention Salin, a small level-one magician. If it wasn't for the magical training method of the badge that made Salin's endurance surpassing normal people, Salin would have collapsed a long time ago.
Shika gritted her teeth and followed behind Neris. The little demon seemed to know Shika's physical limits and was always a little faster than Shika, so she had to work hard to catch up. The breathable leather armor also accumulated sweat. For the first time, Shika felt very uncomfortable not taking a bath.
The running lasted for a day and a night. Just as Shika was about to collapse, Neris stopped. Because Salin had woken up.
"Neris, rest. Shika can't hold on any longer."
Shika knelt on the ground, panting desperately. In her hometown, she never felt that running was such a hard thing. In order to chase prey, Caucasians would also chase for dozens of hours without rest, until their prey was exhausted. In this way, they could make beasts stronger than humans collapse.
But the little demon ran too fast. Shika estimated that with such a speed, except for the magical beasts flying in the sky, no creature on the ground could hold on for so long. Shika didn't say a word. She took off her boots, pillowed them under her head, and fell asleep in a few seconds.
"Neris, how far have we run?" Salin's Ancient Myers language was getting better and better, and he didn't bother to urge the little demon to learn the common language. Anyway, there was still a long way to go, and it seemed that he was far away from danger.
"Almost 500 miles. We can leave the swamp tomorrow morning."
"So fast?" Salin was a little surprised.
"Yeah." Neris didn't continue Salin's words. She remembered that in her hometown, she was mostly the prey, often chased by powerful demons. At that time, she seemed to run even faster, right?
Salin saw that Neris didn't want to talk, so he came to Shika and sat down. He had enough sleep, so he used this time to count the items.
A green dragon's magic core, to be sent to the Kushui prefecture. A set of blank magicians, to be used in the future. The rest were all gems and ores. Salin re-examined his harvest. All the gems were very primitive, without any cutting process. Many of the gems were still wrapped in raw ore.
"Neris, are you tired?" Salin asked with concern.
"Not tired, Master."
"Well, you deal with the mineral layer on the outside of these gems, I want the purest part inside." Salin looked at Neris's snow-white teeth and smiled. In the future, at least he could save money on processing the gems. It was said that cutting raw ore was a very expensive service, and it could only be done in big cities.
Neris then realized that Salin wasn't concerned about her body. She sighed, sat beside Salin, and began to process the gems with her teeth. As a demon, she shouldn't ask for anything. Humans were selfish and greedy.
These gems were very big, the smallest was as big as Shika's fist. After processing, the size was slightly reduced. Salin put the processed gems into the Gift Ring, and swept the pieces bitten off by Neris into the leather bag. These gem pieces were not pure, but for ordinary magicians, it was still something they dreamed of.
"Master, I'm hungry." Neris saw Salin carefully wiping the gems and putting them away one by one. She was a little resentful and wanted to slack off.
"I haven't even eaten, why are you so noisy? Wait until we reach the Phoenix Duchy. " Salin's stomach was also growling. He threw all the dry food he carried with him in the temple, and all the space that could be used to store things was filled with gems.
Neris's eyes were full of tears, and she continued to process the gems for Salin, not caring about Salin's worries.
Salin was indeed a little worried. Although Shika was beautiful, she was a careless Caucasian warrior, and few people would have any thoughts about her. This little devil had transformed into the appearance of Goddess Myers and had an innate charm. This image would cause a lot of trouble in the future. But she herself liked to cause trouble.
"Neris …"
"Master?"
"Keep working, and just listen to me."
Crack, crack!
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later." Salin was a little discouraged. He had no idea how to teach a demon.
Crack, crack …
Shika had a sweet dream. She dreamed that her Magical Beast Warrior Soul was resurrected. In the dream, she waved a stick and beat the dogs of the Vatican who were chasing her. In her sleep, Shika giggled.
Hehe, ha … I'll let you run, go die!
Salin's expression became more and more distressed. He revealed his left hand hidden in his sleeve. His shriveled left hand looked like the limb of an undead creature. Carefully, he cast a level-one spell — Healing Water. Salin patiently used it to nourish his injured muscles.
He had achieved his goal of making a fortune, but his strength had temporarily dropped a lot. Before his left hand recovered, he could not continue learning level-two spells. In other words, even if he advanced, he could not carry out daily practice.
A new spell could only be gradually mastered through the stage of holding the incantation with both hands and chanting the incantation. Salin gently moved the index finger of his left hand, and it slowly bent. Although it was not completely necrotic, it would take more than half a year to recover.
It seemed that it was not a bad choice to go to the Kushui County and rely on the princess. Hiding in a noble's house, at least he would not face all kinds of unnecessary trouble. Salin had money now, and did not need to take risks everywhere.
It was a pity that he lost a green dragon's magic core.
