[Third Update]
"My Lord, I'm not a fool." Eleanor covered her mouth and laughed. It was the first time Salin had seen her laugh like an ordinary woman.
"So you agree?"
"I'll try my best. But what about the equipment?"
"I don't need you. From now on, you can train in the temple every day. Other than the blueprint, I will look for you. You don't have to worry about anything else. I hope you can advance to a level-seven Magic Shooter in a year and a half. Is that okay? "
"Of course. If I hadn't followed the Marquis, I would have become a Magic Shooter long ago. Sigh … "Eleanor sighed. Because she had given birth to the Marquis' child, her strength had declined greatly. Now that Salin was in such a good environment, if she still couldn't advance to level-seven, she would have lived for hundreds of years in vain.
"I can't help you with your magic, but tell me, what are your archery skills?" Salin put his mind at ease and began to make equipment for Eleanor. He had never thought of a candidate for the mage corps. Now that he had decided to let Eleanor do it, Salin's intuition felt very relieved.
"The archery skills of the elves are divided into three categories. First, like humans, they focus on internal training. The Elven Plane also has skills similar to sword aura, called Battle Energy. Sword aura is sharper, more precise, and more difficult to train. Adding sword aura to archery, the best I have seen is Zola. His skills are very outstanding, and I am inferior to him. Second, there are some elves who can use powerful archery skills without training. I am a member of the royal family, but I don't have this ability. My special ability can only be unleashed by relying on equipment or advancing to level-nine. "
Salin listened attentively. Without Eleanor's description, he wouldn't have known anything about the Elven Plane. From Eleanor's description, the ability of that plane was still not as powerful as that of the Myers Continent.
But according to ancient legends, the elves were also a powerful life form. It seemed that not only the power of humans had declined, but the elves had as well.
"At this stage, I can only use three kinds of archery skills — Spatial Arrow, Life Arrow, and Emperor Arrow."
Eleanor spoke of her skills proudly, finally revealing a trace of the demeanor of a strong person. Only those above rank seven could be considered strong. However, like Salin, she had long since been able to release skills that could threaten the strong. The confidence and dignity that she had invisibly cultivated came from her bones.
"These three archery techniques are secret techniques passed down by the Elf Royal Clan. Once cultivated to the pinnacle, one can slay gods. The Spatial Arrow could cross planes, the Life Arrow could freeze time, and the Emperor Arrow could suppress planes. In the end, it's all about the rules. "
At the end of cultivation, it was all about laws!
It was as if a window had been opened in Salin's heart. The rules that he had comprehended recently had only opened a small gap in this window. Eleanor's words had opened the gap even wider.
"The elven bow you gave me can use all three types of archery skills, but the arrows are a little …"
Salin had given Elinor a total of two bows. The first one was made from the Celestial Cherry Wood and could shoot Spatial Arrows. The second one was made from the branch of the Taboo Tree. With the Celestial Tree as the material, it was naturally enough to support the elves' peerless archery skills. Moreover, Salin had added life force to it, so when using the Life Arrow, Elinor's lifespan wouldn't be consumed.
Salin indeed hadn't given Elinor any good arrows. He was simply too busy and didn't know the secrets of these three archery skills, so he couldn't specifically refine equipment for them. That was why Elinor had always been using ordinary arrows to practice her archery skills.
"Alright, I'll refine new equipment for you here. Elinor, prepare your elven magic to help me recover my strength. "As he spoke, Salin released his Water Flame.
Water Flame Alchemy was a secret technique of Jason's lineage. Others relied on flames to refine equipment, but Salin relied on the low temperature of the Water Flame. Regardless of whether it was high or low temperature, it would change the basic structure of matter.
This time, Salin didn't hold back. The temperature in the enclosed room instantly dropped, and Elinor's face even turned frosty. She hurriedly released a spell. A green light lit up, and the temperature around her rose slightly. Salin's Water Flame danced slightly in front of him. At the same time, the Water Flame activated Snow Kill, but Salin completely controlled it and didn't activate it.
Salin took out the branches of the Tree of Life, the Tree of Wisdom, the Tree of Elements, and the Tree of Taboo, and threw them into the Water Flame. At the same time, he also threw in the elven short bow that he had originally refined for Elinor.
Even though the four trees had withered, they were materials without any impurities. Salin continuously compressed and refined them, using his powerful mental strength to condense a bow that had been shaped in his mind.
This was the Divine Refinement Technique that was passed down among Magic Shooters, and it was extremely taxing on mental strength.
Elinor didn't dare to be negligent. She used elven magic on Salin one by one to replenish his mental strength. Salin's mental strength was almost always full.
This time, Salin was going all out. It was obvious that Elinor's archery skills couldn't improve in a short period of time, so she could only think of ways to improve her equipment. Her archery skills could fix the enemy in place. Even if she couldn't kill or injure the enemy, she could still create opportunities for her badge. Salin's badge was his strongest attack. Even though it would take half a year for it to be fully charged, its power was enough to make people look forward to it.
A level-9 Gold Sword Saint instantly turned to ashes under the attack of the badge. If not for the badge, Salin would have died long ago.
The branches of the Tree of God were refined into thin threads, and with the structure of three-dimensional magic patterns, they formed a longbow. The bowstring of this longbow was also made from the bark of the Tree of God. An ordinary bowstring was as thick as a gold coin, but Salin had refined 640 thin threads and wove them together.
The dark green longbow was 1.5 meters long. There were no magic patterns on it, nor were there any dragon crystals embedded in it. This was an elven bow made purely from the tree branches of the tree. The power of life flowed endlessly within it. This was a law that Salin had comprehended. It could balance the energy, and there was almost no leakage.
He didn't know how much time had passed. All he knew was that Eleanor continuously drank magic potion and released elven magic for him. Even Eleanor's face was a little pale.
The longbow was bent into a circle in the water flames, and then violently bounced off. Only then did the bowstring unfurl. With a hum, the dark green longbow suddenly flew up in the water flames.
Pfft!
Salin spat out a mouthful of blood on the tip of the longbow. The longbow seemed to be alive, and it was trying to find a way out of this sealed room. Salin spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately called out, "Eleanor!"
Eleanor had a tacit understanding. Biting the tip of her tongue, she spat out a mouthful of blood as well. The longbow was stained with Salin's blood, and its movements slowed. After being hit by Eleanor's blood, it fell heavily to the ground.
Salin collapsed on his back, but a smile blossomed on his face.
He was a level-6 Mage, and he had actually forged a pseudo-divine weapon. Even if the materials were outstanding, Salin had never expected this result.
"Master!" Eleanor didn't look at the longbow. Instead, she hugged Salin. Seeing the smile on Salin's face, she finally relaxed.
Unknowingly, she had already drunk all the magic liquid. Her spiritual power was also extremely weak, and it was difficult for her to cast mid-level magic. This sealed alchemy room was originally prepared for dangerous experiments. The white stone and steel rock reinforced by magic couldn't be destroyed by brute force. If Eleanor had such great strength, she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to get out.
Salin panted and said, "Meditate."
After both of them had advanced to become Archmage, they rarely meditated. Salin did so because he had the family badge, which could replace the skill of meditation. As for Eleanor, she had never met someone who was so weak in spiritual power.
After placing Salin on the meditating seat, Eleanor sat opposite him again and closed her eyes. The water flames dissipated, but the room was still extremely cold. White frost formed on both of them.
Two hours passed. Salin repeated the meditation a few times, and only opened his eyes when he felt that his spiritual power wasn't damaged. Eleanor woke up earlier than him, and was holding the dark green longbow in a daze.
Seeing that Salin had woken up, Eleanor looked up at him with a complicated expression. She could feel that this longbow was a hundred times stronger than the original elven bow, and she couldn't even tell what it was made of. Was this Salin's secret?
What Salin had was something even the gods would be jealous of! No wonder Salin told her that what he was going to do was so dangerous that Salin had no confidence. He even had to prepare a way out for her and Sicar.
"That's all for today. I will slowly craft your arrows. It's been a long time, and the people outside are probably getting impatient." Salin looked at Eleanor. Eleanor could only nod.
Salin had spent seven days and seven nights crafting this longbow.
"This bow shall be called Seven Nights." As he spoke, Salin stood up and led Eleanor to the transportation matrix, leaving the sealed room.
There were indeed many problems in the temple, most of which were related to equipment. Most importantly, there was a letter from Rex.
In the letter, other than giving instructions on Metatlin City's strategy in Phoenix, there was one more thing — Rex's equipment was starting to run out.
Kushui Prefecture was in the southeast corner of Jialou Lan, at the border with Titan Duchy. It occupied thousands of miles of land. Rex had brought less than fifty thousand people, but the people of Jialou Lan who had joined her numbered more than two hundred thousand. That was an army.
The equipment Rex had brought was enough to arm a hundred thousand people. Now that the army had increased to two hundred and fifty thousand, Rex would find it hard to continue. They could mobilize tens of thousands of sets of armor from Kushui Prefecture, but they still lacked close to a hundred thousand. Swords were easy to solve, but what Rex lacked the most were magic cores and bows.
The current situation was that Kushui Prefecture was somewhat empty. If they couldn't get replenishment soon, they could only rely on Magicians to fight at the front if an army attacked Kushui Prefecture.
Salin was anxious as well. He was robbing Peter to pay Paul. It was impossible to immediately gather the equipment for a hundred thousand people. Ainphent had already set off with the equipment to build the new city. The situation there was even more dangerous. Salin couldn't get the equipment back from Ainphent.
