Salin smiled faintly. He drew on the table with his finger, opened the magic formation, and released a magic image.
"This is the Dragon Skeleton Warship, and this is the Skeleton Warship. If you go out to sea, the Dragon Skeleton Warship can guarantee your safety. Even if you encounter level-nine magic beasts, you don't need to protect the ship. You just need to attack the beasts."
The two level-nine Magic Shooters were completely speechless when they saw the Dragon Skeleton Warship.
If they went out to sea on such a ship, it would indeed be easy for them. Even 20% was a lot. With such a warship, even if they didn't move, Salin's hunting wouldn't be too risky. Such a ship couldn't be bought even with hundreds of millions of gold coins. Salin's wealth was really shocking!
The richer Salin was, the less disloyal the two Magic Shooters were. Mages weren't robbers. As long as they did what Salin asked of them, they would have a lot of time and materials to train in peace. As for fighting, as long as they didn't leave the Magic Tower, fighting was also a form of training.
Salin was even more satisfied. He'd placed the Magic Tower in West Town. That way, it would be very difficult to attack the town. If they wanted to attack Metatlin City, they would have to go around West Town. However, the army in West Town could contain most of the enemies.
Without the Magic Tower, the enemies would definitely take out West Town first and then march on Metatlin City. The two level-nine Magic Shooters couldn't be underestimated.
The two level-nine Magic Shooters were definitely no match for an army of a hundred thousand. However, as long as they didn't leave the Magic Tower, the army of a hundred thousand couldn't do much to them. They could only send out a large number of experts to contain the Magic Tower and the surrounding army.
It didn't matter if the two of them settled in Metatlin City, but the Red Tiger Mercenary Group in the Rhine Duchy would be like pulling out the firewood from under the cauldron. They instantly lost their qualification as a level-nine mercenary group. Salin's people could go and persuade them. Otherwise, the two silver sword saints would also be difficult to deal with.
The two Magic Shooters were satisfied, but Salin was even more so. If there were level-nine Magic Shooters participating in the hunt, he could attack the level-nine magic beasts in the sea. He would definitely be able to gain something. Without level-nine Magic Shooters, the Dragon Skeleton Warship could only target magic beasts below level-eight. The quality of the magic cores would drop a lot.
Sarin was not being too harsh. If it were Alchemy City, they would not have used equipment like the Dragon Skeleton Warship to hunt for magical beasts. Sarin had nothing else, but this super equipment was one of a kind.
This kind of hunting was very simple. The 9th Rank High Mages would ride the Dragonskeleton Warship out to sea, and if they encountered 9th Rank Magic Beasts, the High Mages would kill them. After killing the 9th Rank Magic Beast in the sea, the High Mage would definitely be exhausted and would return to the battleship to recuperate. This warship was abnormally sturdy, and other magical beasts couldn't attack it even if they wanted to.
Safety first. If the Demonic Beasts in the sea were so easy to hunt, the value of Advanced Magic Cores would not be so crazy.
"Finally, I have a personal request." Seeing that the two 9th Rank High Mages were satisfied, Salin spoke of his request.
"City Lord Salin, please speak."
"In my city, there are many nobles who have come to seek refuge. However, there are four that I wish to subdue. I would like to invite them over and let the two Grandmasters meet them. In the future, I hope that the Grandmasters will treat these four nobles leniently and not casually kill their people." Salin said politely.
"No problem." Even the High Mage readily agreed. This kind of thing was the same in Sacred Rock City. There were a few nobles that the court mages would more or less give them some face. However, they did not expect that Salin would need to rely on two 9th Rank High Mages to intimidate others. When the Tiffany Family and the Roland Family saw that they sought refuge with Salin, they would immediately make up their minds.
To be able to recruit two 9th Rank High Mages, even a Duke could not do it!
Of course, the people around Salin knew what Salin was thinking, but no one showed any signs of abnormality. Nelis secretly praised in her heart. Master was really too treacherous. It looked like he was asking the two High Mages to take care of the nobles under him, but in reality, he was completely subduing the nobles' thoughts.
The Filets would not point it out either. Whether their son could achieve great things depended on whether Salin's foundation was stable.
Just like that, the two 9th Rank High Mages stayed in the Shrine. Salin immediately arranged for people to build a Magic Tower. He had a lot of materials. The materials that Jason gave Salin for the Magic Tower were enough to build 40 Magic Towers. That was the wealth that Serrig Island had accumulated over thousands of years.
Salin then invited Ainphent and the others to the Shrine as guests, and introduced them to the two 9th Rank High Mages.
As Salin expected, after meeting the two 9th Rank High Mages, Reyne of the Tiffany Family, Guya of the Roland Family, Helene of the Williams Family, and Ainphent of the Clyde Family all expressed their willingness to become Salin's nobles.
With Ainphent mediating, the other three families quickly agreed to Salin's conditions.
These four young men, with all their wealth, sought refuge with Salin. Salin was king, and they were all granted the title of Duke. Their fiefs were temporarily near Metatlin City.
The name of the kingdom was Metatlin, and Salin was Salin the First. The laws followed the 4th Dynasty, with some slight changes. They were all prepared by Salin. The four were conferred the title of Duke and opened a mansion in the city. Because they had not made any contributions, they were still 3rd Rank Duke. However, this title was hereditary. As long as the Metatlin Family did not fall, their descendants would always have the glory of Duke.
This time, the interests of the four young men were completely tied to Salin's chariot.
At this point, Salin had no choice but to consider Joey's suggestion. Joey gave him a letter, a letter that could subdue the entire Count's family. As long as he brought this letter to that Count, that Count would bring his entire family to seek refuge.
In order to show his respect, Salin sent Zola to personally deliver this letter and three bone warships to Lianyun City by sea. It was much faster to disembark from there than by land.
The news of Salin conferring the title of Duke quickly spread in Metatlin City. At the same time, Salin did not hide the fact that two 9th Rank Mages had come to seek refuge. Many nobles were tempted.
Salin also set up a mansion, but he did not live in it. The mansion was a place to handle official business, while Metatlin City still needed to have the position of city lord, which had always been under Daniel's control.
Daniel did not have any thoughts. He knew that this city would sooner or later fall under Seriger Island's control. Salin's teacher would bring a large number of Magic Shooters here, and at that time, no matter who became the city lord would be able to provoke these 30 Magic Shooters.
In the Fourth Dynasty, there was no upper and lower parliament, only the Senate. Salin didn't even set up a Senate because he still didn't have any descendants. He was the only one left in his family, and the Royal Family that corresponded to the Senate didn't exist, so there was no need for the Senate to exist. Salin implemented a system similar to Cloud Flow, setting up a court of nobles that could not be inherited.
Most of the pirates who had followed Salin to the death had joined the army. Only Geyi and a few others had high positions. Salin's main trusted aides were the Mages he had brought from Seriger Island. Now that there were four new members of the Duke's family in charge of the city management, the city immediately became lively.
On the first Monday of May, Salin held a meeting in the Temple. The four Dukes and the 12 Counts who had successively sought refuge with Salin attended the meeting. These twelve counts were also representatives of those who had invested all of their wealth in Metatlin City. Because the determination they had made at the beginning was now being rewarded.
In the conference room was a long table that was twelve meters long. Salin sat at the end, and Neris stood behind him. On the left sat Sicar, Daniel, Eni, Helene, Reyne, and Guya. On the right side sat the twelve counts.
The standing guards were all barbarians. In addition to two demons, there were also many skeletons in charge of serving. There were no outsiders in the room, and there was no possibility of spies infiltrating. It was convenient for everyone to talk. No matter how powerful an outsider was, he could not disguise himself as a skeleton.
"Your Highness …"
Reyne of the Tiffany family spoke. Salin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm a Mage. I don't want this title."
Reyne was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Hearing Salin's words, she said shyly, "Then, call you Master?"
"I'm not a Magic Shooter yet … The four of you, call me by my name. The Counts, you can simply call me Sir."
Guya smiled and said, "You're the king. How can you be so casual?"
"This is the rule of the Fourth Dynasty. You're all the earliest dukes. Of course you can." Salin remembered the knowledge that Nania had taught him and quickly filled in the loopholes.
"Alright then, Salin …" Reyne looked at Salin and blushed. "I have a question, and it's also a question for the twelve Counts. In Metatlin City, there are a lot of vacant land that occupies a lot of valuable land. Can we buy it?"
Metatlin City was very different from the original design. The area was much larger because there were too many empty spaces in the city. Those empty spaces were like empty squares. The problem was that a city did not need so many squares. There were no buildings or sculptures built on these squares.
Salin smiled. These positions were reserved according to the city design drawings. They were the foundations of the thirty-six Magic Towers prepared for the Mages of Seriger Island.
"Everyone, these lands are reserved for my own use."
"Salin, this is not worth it." Guya thought that Salin wanted to keep these lands and sell them in the future for a good price. However, Metatlin City was developing very well. Once the ice at the port melted, a large number of merchant ships would come. If these lands were all developed and sold to the merchants, the daily taxes would be a large sum of money.
"Guya, this land is reserved for my teacher. In less than two years, my teacher will settle down in Metatlin City. At the same time, there will be a total of thirty-six Magic Shooters. " Salin replied with a smile.
Salin's words shocked everyone.
Two 9th Rank Magic Shooters came to join him as long as the conditions were good enough. However, Salin himself was a Great Mage. Behind him, there were thirty-six Magic Shooters! These thirty-six Magic Shooters were the power of Salin's sect!
