Originally, there was an underground passage in the warehouse at the port that led directly to the outside of the temple. Salin still didn't trust Nicholas. He was afraid that Faka had done something to Nicholas that he might not be able to discover at his current level. So he took Nicholas to the surface and passed through the business district.
The expeditionary army had been annihilated. Although it had only been less than half a month, the atmosphere in the city's business district was completely different. There were smiles on people's faces. Other than the shop assistants, there were also small mercenary groups.
Most of the mercenaries had gone to the border between Qin Yin and Jia Loulan, so the mercenaries in Metatlin were more precious. Large families had a large number of private soldiers and their own caravan guards. They rarely used mercenaries. But small merchants often took other people's ships and needed mercenaries to protect them.
The mercenaries in Metatlin had all re-registered at the city hall. After the war, they had a large amount of savings in Salin's hands as security deposits. Now that these mercenaries were more trustworthy, more people hired them.
There weren't many shops owned by the four dukes in the city, but they had enough goods and could be ordered. Business was the best. Many merchants ordered weapons and armor here and resold them to the north of Qin Yin. The nobles there were stockpiling supplies, preparing to fight the invading Tanggulas to the death. If the army of Sacred Rock City could break into Jia Loulan, they could still follow behind and enter the flank to prevent the Rhine Principality from suddenly joining the war.
Other than buying some food in Phoenix, Salin could only travel to Cloud Flow City to buy more. He had to pass through Lianyun City and Alchemy City in between, so he had to pay taxes.
The people of Cloud Flow liked luxury. In Metatlin, the merchants dressed in silk and satin all came from Cloud Flow. These people had originally thought that they would lose everything. They hadn't expected Metatlin City to win. Their food was bought at three times the price, and they could even bring back large amounts of ores. The price of magic cores was also 40% cheaper than elsewhere.
Nicholas followed beside Salin and couldn't help but say, "Master, I think there are too many professionals in this city. Isn't it unsafe not to bring guards?"
Salin laughed and said, "You're a level-nine professional. With you, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Seeing Nicholas' embarrassed expression, Salin patted his shoulder and said, "Before you came, I always brought at least forty people with me every time I came here."
Nicholas looked at Salin's serious expression and laughed. "My Lord, I'm following you because I have no other way out. However, I will do my best. Speaking of which, although I'm a fallen priest, my healing ability is far superior to you sorcerers. "
"Nicholas, it's not worth it to use divine arts to treat him! Unless it's a battle where there's no way out, I'd rather use magic to slow down the healing. "
"Haha, my Lord, mages may not always follow the same pattern. When I refine a special equipment, I won't have to stimulate the vitality of the injured to heal them. It's just that it will consume a lot of magic cores."
"How big is it?"
"The consumption must be two to three times that of a Magician."
"What about speed?"
"It's more or less the same as a normal divine spell."
"I heard that the Divine Masters of the Holy Church charge money to treat their followers."
"Most of the time, but I've never received money. I know what it's like to be poor. The feeling of despair at the last moment of humanity is something that the high and mighty nobles will never understand. "
Salin snorted and did not refute. No matter how good a noble was, he would not let a commoner enjoy the same privileges as him. In fact, wasn't it the same for sorcerers? There was no fairness in this world at all. Nicholas's actions were abnormal. No wonder … no wonder Pope Dinicio wanted to sacrifice him.
"Dinicio, do you have a dream?" Salin suddenly asked a strange question.
"I used to, but I don't anymore." A trace of pain flashed in Dinicio's eyes. When he came to the Northern Wilderness, he began to use soldiers as cannon fodder. At that time, he still believed that the souls of these soldiers would enter Heaven. However, after discovering the truth, he still accepted Faka's gift — a Soul Pearl. The souls in the pearl would never be freed.
How dare he talk about ideals? He had truly fallen.
"Actually, you don't have to obtain any redemption." Salin's words made Nicholas's eyelids twitch. Saying such words here?
"Master, we'll talk when we get back." Nicholas expected that Salin would say something that would make him shudder.
"What's there to hide? If Faka didn't know that I have this ability, he wouldn't have cooperated with me." Salin stretched out his left hand and waved it in front of Nicholas. He said, "I also have the blessing of God, but it's not the God of Light. Tell me, if you join a new God, will what you did before still be considered a sin? "
"No."
"That's good. Nicholas, I'm not a believer. I'm just telling you that if there comes a day in the future when you have nowhere to go and have to make a choice, you can still follow me. I will bestow upon you the blessings of God, and your sins will vanish. "
Nicholas's expression became more and more interesting. "Master, aren't you afraid that Faka will know that you're saying this?"
"What's there to worry about? He better know. Otherwise, he will suspect that I'm going to harm him." Salin made a very simple point. If he endured it, Faka would not be able to watch him all the time. He would definitely be suspicious of him. Completely subduing Nicholas was an open and aboveboard thing.
"Master, you're really confident …" Nicholas was a little speechless.
Salin smiled and said, "Didn't you say that if there are six Magic Towers in this city, I can guarantee the safety of this side? In fact, in two years at most, I will have 36 Magic Shooters and 36 Magic Towers. Of course I'm confident. "
"Master, is what you said true?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you? Faka can also guess who's behind me. Otherwise, why would he be at ease to cooperate with me? "Salin said as he raised his head and looked at the sky. He didn't know if Faka had left any divine spells in his city to monitor, but he really wasn't afraid.
Faka might be very strong, but Joey was going to find him. And his teacher, Jason, would soon arrive with the mages of Seriger Island. They would open the plane passage to the Hell of Divine Punishment and enter the Six Yuan Space. When the 36 level-nine Magic Shooters appeared, who could destroy this city by force?
Of course, Faka wasn't worried about whether he was strong or not. He was worried that he was too weak. If he was too weak, then Faka would find another person to replace him and fight with the Vatican and Qin Yin for the world.
On the road ahead, two Cloud Flow Merchants walked towards him. They were dressed in snow-white silk, with jade-inlaid hats on their heads. Their shoes were made of glittering silk. The two young merchants chatted and laughed as they walked toward Salin.
Behind Salin, a hand patted the gourd on Salin's waist, and a green stream of water flew up and wrapped around the two Cloud Flow merchants.
"Nicholas, your reaction is too slow." Neris controlled the water and controlled the two Cloud Flow people.
The robes on the two people were shredded by the water, revealing the soft armor inside.
"What are you doing!" A young merchant shouted in panic.
Neris walked around Salin and walked in front of the merchant. She stretched out her white and tender fingers and gently lifted the hair on the young merchant's forehead. Then, she inserted her fingers into the young man's brain.
There was a clear sound of bones breaking. Neris pulled out her fingers, which were already stained with blood and brain matter. Neris flicked her fingers and walked toward another young Cloud Flow person. Then, she said, "I wanted to ask him who sent him to assassinate my master, but I was a little agitated and directly killed him. Can you let me calm down?"
Neris's fingers pressed on the young Cloud Flow person again.
"I'm not an assassin!"
"Pfft …"
Neris directly dug out the man's heart and threw it on the ground.
"Guards!" Neris shouted, and dozens of guards immediately rushed out from both sides.
"Milord!" The guards looked at Neris fawningly.
"Let's bury these two. You can keep their belongings. Remember to split it evenly. Whoever dares to take more … "
"Milord, you must be joking. Everyone in our team has a share. If there's anything else you need us to do, just tell us. " The guards of this small team had sharp eyes. Two Cloud Flow people dressed as merchants had jade inlaid on their hats and belts. If they took these things off and sold them to equipment stores, they would be worth a lot of money.
"It's fine. Scram." Neris scolded.
"Thank you, milord." The guards dragged away the corpses. In the distance, there were people pointing and whispering. Seeing Neris look over, they immediately became silent.
"Don't you find it strange, Nicholas?" Nicholas. "Salin noticed that Nicholas had remained silent throughout the entire process, not even blinking.
"It's not strange. The Cloud Flow assassins are famous throughout the world. These two people didn't walk the twenty-meter-wide road and insisted on coming. They're courting death. "
"Then why didn't you do it?" Salin asked, at the same time retracting his water current.
"Because there's still time. I can release the Holy Light Shield at any time. Unless they're Gold Sword Saint level assassins, it's impossible to break the shield in one hit."
"What if they have Purple Gold Thorns?" Neris said unhappily. These two were definitely assassins, but she wasn't sure if they were targeting Salin. However, she didn't want to take the risk, so she simply killed them.
Nicholas smiled. He didn't want to argue with a little girl.
Neris also smiled. She looked at Nicholas and said, "You'd better not make me angry, because your Holy Light Shield is useless against me."
Nicholas said in surprise, "It's all for the Lord. Why are you doing this!"
