"Byrne …" Rex was a bit sad. Byrne didn't have a problem with his training, but with his injuries. When Rex left Sacred Rock City, she was still a kid. It was Byrne who protected her. It was at that time that he sustained his injuries.
"Princess, I hope that my daughter can learn magic from Salin," Byrne suddenly said.
Rex was dazed. Byrne's daughter was already learning magic, but she didn't have an official teacher yet. Although Salin was a Great Mage, he was still a little too young.
"He has the inheritance from Seriger Island. He'll be a powerful mage," Byrne explained. "He'll only accept students if you show up."
Rex nodded. She knew that Byrne hoped that there wouldn't be any conflict between him and Salin.
"I can beg Joey." Rex forced a smile. Byrne probably couldn't take it anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn't say this.
"Him? Princess, you can make a request, but don't use it on me. Otherwise, all my years of hard work will be wasted. "
In Salin's magic chariot, the four demons looked around and were scolded by Neris. The two female mages who stayed were very embarrassed. Although they had guessed the demons' identities, they couldn't leave like Rex. Rex left them because he wanted them to observe the demons.
But the two female mages were too uncomfortable to let the demons move so close. They couldn't help but move closer to Salin, afraid that the demons would go crazy and eat them.
Actually, apart from Neris, the other three demons were also a bit afraid of the two female mages. At this distance, the demons had an absolute advantage over the mages. The problem was that the two female mages had strong equipment too. The mages around Rex were different from those under Bivano. At least they were richer and had a lot of equipment.
The demons weren't too reassured about their new master, Salin. After all, their scales and bones were good materials for making equipment. There was no gap in the history of the Demonic Plane. All the demons knew that ever since humans became weak, their attitude toward demons had worsened.
Salin kept sizing up the four demons. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't happy. But these demons definitely wouldn't be as loyal as Neris.
The speed of the two chariots reached the limit. The skeleton warhorse ran tirelessly. The flames of war had not spread here, and the road conditions were excellent. The flying speed of the Demonic Insects wasn't fast. Just as they were about to fall behind, Nelis took out the Dimensional Stone and stored the Demonic Insects.
After these Devil Insects entered the Dimensional Stone, they would soon die. However, the meat would remain fresh and tender, and it could also be used to feed Lei Long.
All the way north, Rex was determined to return to the stone statue castle and subdue the Metal Titan.
The entire area north of the Redwater River had fallen into enemy hands, and the Tanggulas Empire's army was everywhere. However, if they wanted to go to the Purgatory Desert, they had to pass through this dangerous area. At the very least, where the stone statue castle was located, the current wasn't as turbulent, so it was easy to cross the river.
They did not encounter any ambushes along the way. Most of the northern part of the Redwater River was controlled by the Cloud Flow Empire, but there was still a considerable portion of the region that refused to surrender. The Titan Grand Duke fled back to Fire Dance City and organized resistance. The Cloud Flow Empire could not do anything about it for the time being. This was because there was still a great enemy north of the Redwater River, and the price of attacking the Fire Dance City was too high. If they were not careful, the Tanggulas Empire in Hebei would take advantage of them.
From this point of view, Yun Liu's methods were not as shrewd as Qin Yin's.
Salin did not care about hiding his strength now. The skeleton warhorse galloped at full speed, and the small army did not dare to stop him. After walking around the big city for less than half a month, Salin had already returned to the southern bank of the Redwater River. The stone statue castle was on the other side.
The metal bridge over the river was gone. Rex got off the carriage and looked at the other side with his alchemy binoculars.
The stone statue castle was in a mess. It was obvious that there had been a new battle. The Tanggulas Empire's army had come, but it seemed that they had not subdued the Metal Titan. The loud noise in the castle showed that the big guy was still active inside.
Salin also got off the carriage. His Ice Vision could now see thousands of meters away. Although the Redwater River was wider, he could still vaguely see the scenery on the other side. It was just that it was not as detailed as the alchemy binoculars.
"Salin …"
"Are you confident?" Salin looked at Rex.
Rex rubbed his cheeks childishly and relaxed his mind. He said, "There are only three thousand scrolls, and the time that I can control it is very short. It all depends on luck. "
Salin thought, Both my badge and your Divine Sieve Ring can be used to control the Metal Titan. Unfortunately, they can only be used once and have to rest for a long time. Entering the Purgatory Desert is even more dangerous. No matter what, I can't use it here.
"What should I use as bait?"
"Construct puppets." Although he was a little reluctant, Rex still made a decision.
Salin had eight living construct puppets. One of them was not affected by the divine spell, but it was still very valuable. He could only give it up as bait here.
"Let's cross the river." Rex took out a few kayaks from the Divine Sieve Ring. These kayaks were the lowest level of magic equipment. As long as the magic formation on them was activated, they would be filled with gas instantly.
Of course, the Divine Sieve Ring could carry larger boats, but it would alarm the Metal Titan on the other side. The magic chariot and skeleton warhorses had to be put away for now. Four kayaks, carrying more than twenty people, rowed slowly to the other side.
The sky was clear, and under the sunlight, the river glistened. The wind blew, bringing with it a hint of fishy smell. The powerful Metal Titan was on the other side, but Salin's heart was extremely calm. He spread out his perception, and everything within a few hundred meters was within his range. There were no powerful magic beasts in the Redwater River, but he still had to be careful. If there were ambushers on the other side, they would be shot by the alchemy crossbows, and the people on the boat would be in trouble.
Salin's people were fine, but the ten swordsmen and Eleanor were the main ones. Eleanor's injuries had not completely healed. During the days of travel, Salin could not give her the magic fluid he had, so he could only use the Spring Rain to heal her.
Eleanor had long given up on escaping. The appearance of the four demons made her realize that even if she was not injured, she was still no match for Salin.
Salin found it strange that they had already crossed the river, but he still did not see the assassin. Could it be that the assassin was in the water?
The Redwater River was only eight hundred meters wide at this point, and the terrain on both sides was a little steep. Just as the kayaks were about to reach the other side, a figure beside Rex flew up and leaped dozens of meters, jumping directly onto a rock on the river bank. This person held a two-meter-long sword in his hand, and he slashed at the rock.
Blood spurted. Five soldiers of the Tanggulas Empire were hiding behind the rock, holding small steel crossbows in their hands. The person who attacked was the Black Iron Blademaster beside Rex. He killed five people with one strike without any suspense.
The five soldiers were also unlucky. Many people were sent to patrol the river bank, but the Redwater River was too long, and there was not enough time for a patrol team to be assigned to a few kilometers. Unfortunately, they encountered Rex's men. Although they had steel crossbows, they did not even have the chance to shoot.
The Black Iron Blademaster picked up a steel crossbow, looked at it, and caught the rope thrown up from below. He pulled the kayaks one by one to the shore.
"Princess, they are not waiting for us. It is just an ordinary patrol team." The Black Iron Blademaster was also a professional soldier. With one look at the enemy's equipment, he could roughly understand their organization and unit number.
"How long do these scouts take to change shifts?"
"It will take a day."
"Okay, it's getting dark. We don't have much time. You guys go to the main road and stand guard. Stay away from here. " Rex sent the swordsmen and the Black Iron Blademaster away from the shore with the skeleton warhorses and magic chariots.
The Magicians all stayed. Rex took out a large number of items from the Shenluo Ring and set up a magic array. Apart from Eleanor, all the Magicians started working.
It was the first time that Salin saw a magic array with a diameter of more than 100 meters. The materials that Rex took out were mostly prepared in advance, but the connections had to be replaced with magic powder.
The compound magic array was very difficult to set up, but Rex only wanted to set up a temporary trap. There would not be any mistakes even if the eight Great Magicians worked at the same time.
The ground was cleaned until it was as smooth as a mirror, and thousands of magic symbols were drawn on it. The magic array was only finished when the sky was about to turn dark. Rex started to distribute the Petrification Spell Scrolls. A construct puppet was taken out and walked towards the stone castle.
That metal Titan had eaten half of the bridge and fought with the Tanggulas Empire's army. It was resting in the castle. It noticed the construct puppet as soon as it got close. The metallic smell of the construct puppet was too tempting, and it could not resist it at all.
The people outside the castle heard an earth-shattering roar. Then, a monster that was 100 meters tall suddenly stood up.
If not for the fact that the construct puppet's materials were too special, this metal Titan that was already 100 meters tall would not even pay attention to it. A two-meter-tall construct puppet was not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
Before the construct puppet could get close to the dilapidated city wall, the metal Titan had already walked to the side of the wall. Its pair of golden eyes scanned around, and it immediately discovered the little thing on the ground.
The metal Titan was originally an intelligent lifeform, but this one was obviously a little stupid. Otherwise, it would not have stayed here after encountering the Tanggulas Empire's army. When it saw the delicious food, it immediately forgot about all the dangers and charged towards the construct puppet. The construct puppet immediately ran back. It was slightly slower, but it was one step ahead of the magic trap that Rex had set up.
Buzz …
With a metallic hum, the metal Titan leaped into the air and directly jumped into the magic trap. Instantly, dozens of subsidiary magic arrays were activated at the same time. The Magicians lying in ambush in the surroundings threw out the Petrification Spell Scrolls in order.
The metal Titan's resistance to petrification was almost zero. If not for its strong vitality, it would have been killed in an instant. Instantly, the surface of the metal Titan's body was illuminated by the light of magic. It was completely petrified, and it maintained its jumping posture.
