Sicca was sent away by Salin. She could not help much if she stayed. Neris and Nicholas stayed.
Neris was responsible for pulling out the spikes, while Nicholas was responsible for extracting the poison glands of the purple gold sea urchins and collecting them. The poison glands of the purple gold sea urchins were very small. Only a level nine professional like Nicholas could handle it without damaging the material.
Salin was responsible for refining the skin of the sea urchins.
Only three people were busy, but their speed was not slow. It only took the three of them about ten seconds to process a sea urchin. Neris used her hands to pull out the spikes. She had enough stamina and did not need to rest. Nicholas, on the other hand, used depravity to extract the poison glands. This was even easier for him.
Salin released a water flame more than two meters in diameter and threw the sea urchin skin into it. It was a simple process.
Salin soon found that this could not be done. At his current speed, it would take him a week to process all the purple gold sea urchins.
"Neris, find Trish and the others, and … call more intermediate undead. It is too slow for you to process alone."
Neris nodded. Her processing speed was not slow, but it was completely insufficient for Nicholas and Salin. Salin could process dozens of sea urchins at a time, and Nicholas could process nearly a hundred.
Nicholas did not stop when Neris left. He did not want to pull out the spikes. Not long after, Neris found everyone. Four demons, twelve jade skeletons, and dozens of relatively weak undead. The undead were responsible for transporting. Anyway, they were not afraid of poison.
Their speed was suddenly ten times faster. Salin had enough mental power. While processing the purple gold sea urchins, he looked at the other prey taken out of the bracelet.
There was a kind of dark green coral, which seemed to be something similar to a magic crystal mine. However, only the people of East Sea knew how to process the magic crystal mine. Salin had not mined it yet. He only knew that it would cost a lot to process it. This kind of dark green coral could be picked up and used directly.
Salin had enough magic cores for his own use, so he was not interested in such a material. Moreover, mages knew that coral grew very slowly. It was not worth mining too little, and mining too much would lead to extinction. However, this kind of coral was good for enchantment special weapons, and only officers could use it, so there was no need for a large quantity.
Some fist-sized ores were piled up in a corner. Salin observed with his Elemental Eye and found that they were metal ores, and they were born with the fire element.
The Winged Skeleton had actually discovered an underwater volcano. The underwater world was a hundred times richer in mineral resources than the continent. When volcanoes erupted, they would occasionally bring out metals from the earth's core. These metals had strong fire elemental properties and were good for making offensive weapons. If it was an active volcano, it was better not to touch it. If it was an extinct volcano, one round of mining would yield rich returns. The Winged Skeleton did not return much, but he must have remembered the coordinates. Next time, Salin could send Magic Shooters and warships over.
A flat fish was quietly pressed under many ores. This fish's body was more than five meters wide. Excluding its tail, it was only four meters long. This was a famous magic beast. Because it was too difficult to catch, no mages had studied it. They had only drawn pictures of how dangerous this fish was.
When Salin saw the mageweath on the black fish, he immediately thought of a use for it. This thing could be used to make flying puppets. At least it could carry one person, unlike the current flying puppets, which would fall apart after flying for a long time. Small ones were useless and could only be used for close-range reconnaissance.
To the right of the ores, there was another corpse more than ten meters long. Salin found it very interesting. It turned out to be a siren, and an adult one at that.
Sirens liked to expose their backs out of the sea. There was a natural magic array on their backs that had the ability to attack mentally. Magic beasts below their level would mistake it for food when they saw it. That was how the siren trapped seabirds flying in the sky. Sometimes, human ships passing by would mistake them for their kind in distress and send small boats to rescue them, only to sink and die.
This siren had been killed by the Winged Skeleton with the poisonous stinger of a purple gold sea urchin, so it did not escape. Even Magic Shooters would find it difficult to catch this creature.
There were seventy to eighty raised creatures piled up in the storeroom, each with a special use. Salin could only recognize a quarter of them, but his Elemental Eyes could see the essence clearly.
After a full eight hours, Salin finally finished dealing with all the purple-gold sea urchins. He put away all the dangerous purple-gold thorns. If these things fell into the hands of the enemy, they would be a huge threat to his magicians. If he was careless and surrounded by soldiers using the purple gold thorns, he would not be able to compensate no matter how many mages he had.
These purple gold thorns could be used in the defense of Metatlin City. Thinking to himself, Salin fished out a sticky ball the size of a fist from the skin of a purple gold sea urchin. This was a special substance secreted by the purple gold sea urchin. The growth of new purple gold thorns depended on this substance. Mixing this substance with metal could make a weapon with the same effect as the purple gold thorns. However, after diluting this mucus and refining it on the surface of metal, it could only be used once or twice.
For Salin, this was a good thing. If the arrowheads were refined with this mucus, they would have some of the purple gold thorns' attacking power. However, they were consumables and could not be used repeatedly. It was not a big deal for these arrowheads to fall into enemy hands. They would be useless after being used.
Salin also put away the fifteen thousand purple gold sea urchin skin bags. Each bag had about four or five cubic meters of space and could be opened without magic. For Salin, this was equivalent to having fifteen thousand more space equipment. He did not need so many level-five mages.
Salin was very satisfied with the things the Wing Skeleton brought back. He did not even look at the other bracelet. Just this one was enough to make him smile.
Salin did not know that the Wing Skeleton was also lucky. He took the two bone warships to the Frozen Sea. On the way, an underwater volcano erupted near a large island. The Coiled Turtle alchemy ship was not afraid of this. It wanted to collect some of the spewed metal, but it unexpectedly saw the purple gold sea urchins being disturbed by the volcano. As a result, the two bone warships spread a huge metal trawl net and caught all the metal sea urchins nearby.
If the volcano had erupted strongly, the Wing Skeleton would not have been able to do it. If the volcano did not erupt, he would not have been able to catch so many purple gold sea urchins. Everything could only be attributed to luck.
Mages did not believe in luck most of the time. It was impossible to succeed without hard work. However, luck did exist. Salin's luck had always been bad. It was not until he defeated the expeditionary army that his luck suddenly started to improve.
This was the first prey that the Wing Skeleton brought back, and Salin's strength had skyrocketed. Fifteen thousand purple-gold sea urchins were the best materials to threaten a professional. The purple gold thorns were enough for Salin to protect the safety of his city before the mages of Seriger Island came.
In addition, each of the bodies of the eighty or so kinds of sea magic beasts had natural magic arrays or magic patterns on them. In other words, Salin could use these bodies to study new spells.
In Joey and Rafael's magic notes, they both mentioned that when a mage advanced to a Magic Shooter, it was best for him to study a unique magic on his own in order to gain an understanding of the elements. The more profound the spell you create, the less effort you'll have to put in to break through the ninth level.
The Water Pattern Shield was not Salin's original creation. It was just an improvement. Therefore, Salin was extremely happy to get so many novel magic beasts. Studying the magic patterns and magic arrays on the bodies of these eighty or so magic beasts would always be able to create a new spell. That was what ancient humans did.
The items in the second bracelet were also cleared out and piled up in the warehouse. The inside of this bracelet was a mess. The warehouse was full of seaweed that was more than ten meters long. Among the seaweed, there were many bodies of magic beasts. Most of them were poisonous sea snakes. These sea snakes hid in the seaweed and survived by sneak attacking their prey.
Salin laughed loudly. This kind of seaweed was a treasure. It originally only grew in the cold sea north of Scotia. This kind of seaweed grew extremely slowly, but it had wonderful uses.
On the Myers Continent, warhorses were actually magic beasts, or had the bloodline of magic beasts. Empires tried their best to breed warhorses with similar magic beasts, but after two or three generations, the bloodline would completely disappear. Therefore, truly good warhorses were hard to buy even with a thousand pieces of gold.
Warhorses with the bloodline of magic beasts would not panic on the battlefield. Even if magic exploded around them, they could still maintain good coordination with the knights. Their ability to carry weight and running speed were quite impressive.
Only warhorses with the bloodline of magic beasts could carry heavy cavalry for a long time. Ordinary warhorses could fight for half an hour, which was considered good bloodline.
In order to let warhorses display their fighting strength and maintain the good bloodline, efforts could be made on feed. The people of Scotia used this seaweed to mix with food to create special feed for warhorses.
The production method was not a secret in Scotia, but this kind of seaweed could only be produced in Scotia. Therefore, the countries of the continent could only buy and store it from Scotia. Scotia could earn a lot of gold coins from the three empires every year because of this seaweed.
Warhorses had a huge appetite. This kind of seaweed contained dozens of times more nutrition than food. With this feed and some pasture, warhorses could maintain their fighting strength and bloodline.
The Winged Skeleton was telling Salin that it had found an area where this kind of seaweed grew. In the future, Salin's main force wouldn't even have to worry about grass.
"Let's go back and study how to rebuild Duanren Pass." Salin laughed and happily brought Nicholas back to the Godly Palace.
Salin didn't have a lot of warhorses, so he had to rely on the skeleton warhorses. However, the advantages and disadvantages of the skeleton warhorses were just as obvious. The most troublesome thing was that they needed the care of Necromancers and were afraid of the Holy Church's holy spells.
