Of course, Salin didn't know that the most powerful person in the Vatican had already snuck into his city and was waiting for his return. Worried that the people from the Tribunal would find their location based on the place where the two Adjudicators had died, Salin and Rex's team left as quickly as possible and headed deeper into the desert.
This time, Rex moved forward during the day and rested at night. The terrifying creatures in the Purgatory Desert liked to move around at night. They would hide in the sand and sleep during the scorching day.
Without the protection of the Spellcasters, the Swordsmen in the Spirit Snake Armor wouldn't be able to follow Rex deep into the desert. Without the Swordsmen patrolling at night to fight the magical beasts in the desert, the rest of the Spellcasters would be a problem. After half a month, Salin's team finally arrived at the center of the Purgatory Desert.
This journey was less than half a month's journey. Salin saw how powerful the royal army was, and how these ten Swordsmen and Sword Saints used up the gold coins.
The Spirit Serpent Armor was indeed the best armor in this plane. Under the protection of the Spirit Serpent Armor, none of the ten Swordsmen were seriously injured. After more than a hundred battles, thousands of Magical Beasts were killed, but the Sorcerers had less than a tenth of the chance to fight. Most of the time, the Spellcasters would be casting defensive spells for the Swordsmen.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Salin wouldn't believe that ten Swordsmen and two Black Iron Sword Saints could be so powerful.
At the same time, the Spirit Snake Armor was also quite drained. Every night, Rex would personally repair the armor and replace the magic cores for the warriors. Salin helped from the side, and learned a lot about magic armor. He had also forged magic armor before, but compared to the Spirit Serpent Armor, it was like heaven and earth. If not for the excellent materials, the armor Salin made would be too embarrassing to show.
Salin did a simple calculation. Ten Swordsmen, two Black Iron Sword Saints, and the Grizzly Bear would consume more than two hundred gold coins a day. This price wasn't even the market price. Rex had prepared all the materials himself, and he repaired the armor himself.
The daily consumption was about three thousand gold coins. In the last period of time, Rex had spent tens of thousands of gold coins. If Rex had hired a team instead of a large number of Spellcasters, it would have cost more than ten times the market price.
On this day, the team came to an emergency stop because of a sandstorm. The Magician quickly used Earth Magic to build a fortress underground. Everyone crawled into it and only climbed out after the sandstorm had passed.
The Magic Compass was completely ineffective. He had to wait for the stars to appear at night and refer to the Star Map before he could calculate the specific location of the temple. After rebuilding the camp, Salin created a large amount of ice to cool down. The temperature of the Purgatory Desert was over 70 degrees Celsius. If there were no Magicians around, ordinary soldiers would have died from the heat. Moreover, only the ice created by Intermediate Magic was not easy to melt. Although there were also Water Magic that could create a large amount of ice, it would exhaust the Magician to death.
In short, Rex's team could only be described as extravagant. There wasn't a single Magic Shooter among them. Normally, logistics would be very difficult, but Salin had the Dimensional Stone, and Rex had the Divine Sieve Ring.
When it was dark, the sorcerers measured the wind speed and humidity to make sure that there would be no sandstorm in a short time. Then, they began to assemble a set of metal equipment. The equipment was simple. Six stone bases were made from the ground with magic. After fixing the metal supports, they laid a set of crystal plates on them.
These crystal plates were made from wasted crystals. The only thing special about them was that they were very transparent and flawless. These things were no longer useful to ordinary Magicians. Only Magicians who were skilled in alchemy would collect them. They weren't cheap, either.
Extremely intricate patterns, scales, and coordinate axes were etched on the crystal with magic. After these crystals were laid, the Magicians followed Salin and Rex to stand below and proofread them.
After adjusting the details one by one, Rex looked through the crystal and observed the stars.
The elements and geomagnetism in the desert were a little messy. The Magic Compass was useless, but the sky was still pure. They could use this expensive crystal star map to calculate their current location. Then, by calculating the coordinates sent from Metatlin City, they could find the specific location of the temple.
Money. It was all about money. Although this crystal star map was expensive, the coordinates calculated by almost a thousand Magicians couldn't be bought with gold coins.
The night sky was pure. The Qinyin Empire used to have the best astrologer. Other than Magicians, even high-ranking generals had to be familiar with the knowledge of constellations. Rex had learned systematically since he was young. Of course, it wasn't to predict the future. Instead, it was to familiarize himself with the fluctuations of the elements in the Myers Continent according to the changing patterns of the constellations.
Magic was a difficult subject. It wasn't something that could be learned just by remembering a few incantations.
Although Salin could control the consumption of magic strings precisely, he wasn't as good as Rex in this aspect. Rex's distribution of magic strings was basically in line with the natural changes of this plane. It could maximize the power of magic while minimizing the consumption.
Although Jason was a good teacher, he didn't guide Salin on the knowledge of constellations for a long time. Now, he could only watch from the side to learn this rare skill of Rex's.
The light magic that Rex released penetrated the crystal star map. After a few proofreading, it matched the coordinates of the constellations in the sky. The Magicians immediately recorded the data and began to calculate. In less than an hour, they got the desired result.
"Princess, the Divine Temple is in the northeast direction, at a 20 degree angle, six hundred and one miles away!" The mages happily gave out the data. Salin was impressed. With so many people, as long as they spread a net in the desert, they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find the entrance to the Divine Temple.
"More than 600 miles!" Rex was a little depressed, but also a little glad. What was depressing was that it would take more than three days to cover the distance of more than 600 miles even if they hurried. Fortunately, she brought the crystal star map. Otherwise, there would be an error of 600 miles just by observing the sky with her naked eyes!
With an error of 600 miles, if she went around in circles in the desert, she might not be able to find the location of the Divine Temple even after two to three years.
Rex still didn't know that there were originally two oracles in the Divine Temple, but they had already left. If the oracles were still around, she wouldn't be able to find the location of the Divine Temple even if she spent her entire life.
Or maybe Rex was lucky. After she led her people around the desert for more than half a month, the Judgement Court finally sent nearly 100 black deacons to lead a large team to block the few exits in the south. Although the Purgatory Desert was vast, there weren't many suitable places to go in and out.
The Judgement Court didn't have enough manpower either, because the people from the Duchy of Divine Grace had already gathered, and the Blood Knights were ready to cross the Redwater River at any time. The manpower they could send couldn't block the Purgatory Desert at all. Setting up a defense in the south was just a gamble of luck.
Out of the three chief judges, two of them had been promoted after Emperor Qin Yin's death. The internal situation was still unstable, and it took a lot of effort to deal with the pope. This helped Rex instead.
Otherwise, if the three chief judges entered the desert directly and met Rex, she could only pray that she could escape back to Qin Yin. Why would she talk about finding the Divine Temple?
After traveling for four days, Rex's team finally stopped and waited for the night to come.
At this time, even the Magicians looked weathered. The Purgatory Desert was really not a place for people to stay. They hid in the magic chariot every day, and they had to protect themselves with magic when they went to the toilet. Otherwise, they might be killed by the sand scorpions that crawled out of the sand at any time.
However, what these Magicians obtained was also very precious. Although these Magicians trained with the army, it was not as good as fighting in the desert. During this time, the combat power of the Magicians that Rex brought into the desert skyrocketed. The elusive magic beasts in the desert were the best training partners.
At night, Rex set up the Crystal Star Map again and measured the specific location of the Divine Temple for the last time. He found that there was another deviation, but it was only one kilometer away this time.
The Central Divine Temple that Goddess Myers secretly left was just one kilometer away.
"Let's rest for the night. We'll set off tomorrow!" Rex was not in a hurry at this time. There might be danger in the Divine Temple. Everyone was exhausted. Once they encountered a strong enemy, the officers and Magicians that Rex trained so hard would die here.
The camp this time wasn't very sturdy, but half of it was under the sand. Also, Rex didn't put the barracks together. Instead, he created a big stone house with magic. Even if a sandstorm came, they wouldn't have to panic.
Everyone was in the stone house. Under the soft light of the magic lamp, Rex and Salin sat in the middle and looked at each other. Salin nodded, and Rex finally spoke.
"Everyone knows what we're looking for this time. Yes, the Divine Temple of Goddess Myers. This Divine Temple is the core of all the Divine Temples on the continent. No one has ever entered it. Legend has it that Goddess Myers once lived here. "
Rex's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely clear in the stone house. The Magicians all had expectant expressions. Goddess Myers was the deity of this dimension. She once created beautiful magic for Magicians to learn. Although humans were strong, they mostly relied on their instincts. It wasn't until the fall of the Goddess that they gradually gained powerful creativity.
The magic left behind by the Goddess was the most practical. If there were relics of the Goddess in the Divine Temple, it would be the most precious treasure for the Magicians.
"I don't know what dangers there are in the Divine Temple. You know that I have the Godsieve Ring. If I want to, I can escape anytime. After entering the Divine Temple, the magic chariot can't be used. All of you can't be more than five hundred meters away from me. If I say I want to leave, you must come to my side within three seconds. Understood? "
