"Then forget it. This princess is really not easy to marry. Zola, that kid, actually provoked Princess Yun Liu. I wonder …" Salin suddenly stopped. His words were too frivolous. He wanted to say that he didn't know if it was the princess Zola knew, but the princess was said to be pregnant. It was too rude to tease her in front of Rex.
Rex didn't think too much about Salin's words. She said, "This is Yun Liu wanting to further control the Titan Duchy, just like how Uncle controls Phoenix. Do you know? The mages of Alchemy City caused a lot of trouble for the Tanggulas Empire, so the Tanggulas Empire didn't have the strength to attack. Hearing that Uncle created war puppets, the Tanggulas Emperor even slowed down. But this can't be dragged on forever. Before the war between the four empires breaks out, the four empires will take care of all the surrounding small countries first. "
There were a dozen small countries around the four empires of Myers Continent, as well as many independent cities. But the truly independent ones were actually the five big duchies. Qin Yin controlled two of them. The other three belonged to Tanggulas, Scochenya, and Yun Liu.
"You want to help the young duke?" Salin heard the hidden meaning in Rex's words.
"Yes, Yun Liu wants to take back the rights of the Titans. Then, he won't be the young duke anymore. So, he wants to give me some things from the princess' castle. I'll help him defeat the Pink Legion."
Salin was a bit unhappy. If he came all the way here for some young duke, he would be too bored. The young duke wasn't his friend.
"You're not happy?"
"Yes." Salin didn't hide it. He wasn't a little mage who depended on others anymore.
"There's a magic lab in the princess' castle. It's probably a few hundred years old. But the mages in the castle aren't very good. The young duke promised me that he can take all the lab and materials away. "
Salin's expression eased immediately. A magic lab!
Salin wasn't poor, and could even be considered rich, but building a magic lab required time. Many laboratory equipment needed to be constantly nourished by the elements, and could only be gradually developed through the use of terrazzo. Real magic labs were all over a hundred years old.
The alchemy lab in the Hell of God's Punishment was already owned by Rex. He just needed an old lab. Rex was thinking for him.
"Why else would I bring two fifth-level Magicians with me? Isn't it just to disassemble the materials for your lab? "There was a hint of complaint in Rex's tone. Salin chuckled.
"Salin, did we suffer any losses?" Shika suddenly asked.
"No, I'm going to the first target anyway, so I might as well help out."
"But the benefits you mentioned have nothing to do with me." Although Shika was straightforward, he was not careless. She was a Battle Priestess, and there were too few things that a Magician could use.
Neris also felt that she was unhappy that Rex had kept this from Salin and only told him now.
"Your Highness, could it be that the young duke is doing this because he likes you?" Her words were very sinister. She had already sensed that Rex had feelings for Salin, but now her words were directly provoking the relationship between Rex and Salin.
"Yeah, he even begged the Titan Grand Duke to propose marriage to me, but Father rejected him." Rex glanced at Neris and answered lightly, as if he didn't care about this at all.
There was another Magician in the car who hadn't spoken. This female Magician was also at the fourth-level. Salin had never seen her before, and Rex didn't introduce her either.
Seeing that Shika and Neris were taking turns to criticize Rex, the female Magician glared at them with a furious expression.
Neris was worried that Rex wouldn't get angry. Seeing that the female Magician was about to lose her temper, she was delighted. She stared at the female Magician with her green eyes and asked, "Don't you know that it's very rude to look at others like this!"
Salin's heart tightened. If Neris said that, then she might directly kill him. It would be fine if it was someone else, but Rex's Magician wasn't so easy to deal with. There was an invisible Assassin outside the car, and he couldn't deal with that Assassin.
"Rude? Isn't it rude to talk to Her Highness like this? "The female Magician was in her thirties, but she had good self-restraint. She didn't say anything to Neris.
Salin pressed his hand on Neris's shoulder and didn't say anything. If it wasn't for that Assassin, he wouldn't have stopped Neris. But that Assassin was like a mountain that pressed down on Salin's heart.
It was useless no matter how strong a power that didn't belong to him. Hmph, when I evolve the 24 thunder dragons into flying dragons, do I still need to care about the situation in front of me?
Neris sensed Salin's emotions and immediately changed her words. "Master can build a city, why would he care about a magic lab? I've heard of the Magicians' principle of fairness. If Sister Shika hadn't come this time, you wouldn't have gotten anything. Is it wrong for Sister Shika to want a reasonable reward? "
Neris was a demon, after all. She specialized in finding weaknesses in people's hearts. With that, the female Magician was immediately speechless. Salin wasn't a poor person. When she arrived at Metatlin City, she was shocked by the prototype of the city. Ordinary people couldn't see anything, but she could. The upper half of Metatlin City's city wall was clearly the prototype of Dante's sequence. When the white city wall was completed, the entire city wall was a magical device, like a deformed Magic Tower. The only purpose of this Magic Tower was to help Magicians fight.
So this female Magician was respectful to Salin. She didn't feel that anything Salin or Rex said was rude. But in the eyes of others, Neris was a maid. Of course, she wouldn't be nice to a maid.
Shika, who rarely spoke, said to Rex, "Princess, I'm now the Priest of the Caucasians. There will probably be tens of thousands of Caucasians following me. Salin asked me to come, so I came. But I can't do things for nothing."
Rex had a headache. "Shika, there are very few things in the Princess' castle that are suitable for the Caucasians. The little duke definitely won't take out food. What about weapons? The weapons in the Princess' castle might not be as good as what Salin gave you. "
Rex was so polite to Shika that even the female Magician was a little surprised. The Priest of the Caucasians was very important to the Caucasians. But Rex was a level-six Great Magician. Why would he talk to the Priest like that?
Only a few people knew about Rex and Salin's trip to the Hell of God's Punishment. Actually, they had gone through fire and water together. Their relationship was no longer as simple as a princess and an ordinary person. Their interests were intertwined, and they were friends. Rex definitely wouldn't get angry no matter what Shika said. Except for Neris's provocative words.
"I know that the local nobles have the right to mine the mines in Cloud Flow City. They have more rights than the Qinyin Empire, right?"
"Yes, the mines in Qinyin all belong to the Glücos Family. But Shika, you can't take the mines away."
"I want magic apprentices who mine." Shika smiled, not at all scheming.
Many magic apprentices would change professions and stop practicing magic because they had no hope of becoming official Magicians. One of them was very special and in high demand. That was magic apprentices who specialized in mining. All the special metals in the ores could only be broken down by these apprentices. Of course, Great Magicians could do it too, but why would they process the ores?
These magic apprentices were basically controlled by the big families and nobles. Their treatment was no less than that of ordinary low-level Magicians.
"Shika, I have plenty of magic apprentices!" Rex looked at Shika in surprise.
"That's yours, princess. I want Caucasian magic apprentices who will only be in charge of mining for me in the future." Shika refused to give in. Salin had already found an iron mine with a large reserve. He would definitely mine it himself in the future. But Salin didn't have suitable miners or magic apprentices. He would have to work with others to mine, and the profits would be low.
"You found a mine?" Rex was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, an iron mine. I need manpower."
"Alright. Cloud Flow City wants everything back anyway. The young duke won't be able to control those mines anymore. I'll ask for magic apprentices for you, but you can sell the steel produced by your iron mine to me. How about that?"
"Great, then I can take care of more Caucasians," Shika said, beaming.
Salin was grateful. Although he was from Scottinya, it was hard for him to ask for help from his friends. Without Shika's help, the profits from the iron mine would indeed be very small.
"I also want the rights to sell the wine." Shika continued to ask. That was still a very profitable part.
Rex frowned. After some thought, he said, "This will cause confusion in the pricing."
"You can discuss the pricing with Salin. I'll just buy the wine." She wasn't angry that Schica was determined to get her benefits. However, Salin had secretly told her that he had come this time to use the Blessing Ring that Salin had given her to open the door of the Temple.
Without her own ring, everything was empty talk.
Rex smiled bitterly. She couldn't force Shika, so she just said, "What other requests do you have? Just say them all."
"I want to set up a hunting zone in Metatlin City. No one can kill magical beasts wantonly. We Caucasians will be in charge of it. Unless these magical beasts hurt people, even magicians are not allowed to touch them. "
Shika's request was purely for the benefit of the Caucasians. The Caucasians were good at domesticating magical beasts. If there was enough food, they wouldn't have to hunt magical beasts at all. Instead, they could make the magical beasts their helpers. But magicians would kill all the magical beasts near the city.
