Eleanor stood on the rooftop and looked at Salin and Rex, who were standing under the tree. The song had stopped, but the lingering melody was still lingering. Not only Salin and Rex, the bodyguards downstairs, the swordsmen, and the magic casters in the temporary residence all fell into melancholy when they heard Eleanor's song.
Eleanor was homesick. Very, very homesick. She had always thought that the emotions of elves were like what the elders had said. They could forget the past and go with the flow.
But that wasn't the case. When she saw Salin and Rex, she didn't miss the marquis, but her first lover in the elven plane. Instead, the fatal attraction of the marquis had faded into a shadow and was about to disappear completely. The farthest memories became clear in her heart.
"Eleanor is homesick." Salin broke the silence. He was still holding Rex's hand tightly.
"Don't comfort her with yourself!" Rex wrinkled her nose and warned Salin in a girlish tone.
Salin only chuckled. How was that possible? He didn't have such feelings. Even if he did, Eleanor wouldn't agree to it. She was homesick. This wasn't something he could help with.
"Why are you smiling so proudly? What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about a very troublesome matter," Salin said solemnly.
"What trouble?"
"I heard that after a sorcerer becomes a Magic Shooter, it's even harder to have children. Can you not advance for the time being? "
A fireball appeared in Rex's hand, but she extinguished it immediately. She chided, "Don't you already have a child with Sicar? We are sorcerers … "
"You are going to be an emperor in the future!" Salin interrupted Rex. "An emperor must have an heir."
Rex's face was redder than the fireball. She couldn't even form a sentence. In the end, she just glared at Salin fiercely. If she were to talk about this with someone else, as a sixth-level sorcerer, Rex wouldn't be embarrassed. She would only treat it as a technical problem.
But in front of Sarlin, in her heart, she wanted to do the same thing after marrying Sarlin.
No! For Salin to say this now meant that he wanted to do it immediately. Rex wanted to separate from Salin, but Salin held her hand tightly. Salin was much stronger than her, and Rex couldn't break free. She wanted to scold Salin, but she was worried that Salin would be angry. She couldn't do that. Salin had finally expressed his feelings, and if she did that, it would hurt his feelings.
"Lace, I'm just saying that Sicca can make a drug that can solve this problem. What are you doing?"
This time, a fireball appeared in Rex's hand and was about to hit Salin. Salin grinned. A small icicle appeared between his fingers and pierced through the fireball.
"Sigh, forget it." Rex simply leaned half of his body against Sarlin and tilted his head slightly to look at Eileen's silhouette under the moonlight. He said, "You're right. I have to think more about the future."
"That's good. Actually, this kind of potion isn't considered expensive. Sicar made one for 800,000 gold coins." Salin gave Rex some mental preparation so that he wouldn't be caught off guard in the future.
"Ah! That's good … "Rex almost said something that made even herself shy. She hurriedly changed the topic." Salin, Eileen, she, is she … "
"Don't ask. It's not easy. If her problem can be solved, I think by then, we will already have power close to that of the gods. " Salin couldn't do anything about Eileen's problem. In order to let her go home, they had to open the passage between the Elven Plane and the Myers Continent. This wasn't the Demonic Plane or the Undead Plane. The space between these two planes and the Myers Continent wasn't stable, and there were always precise coordinates.
Not only was the Elven Plane far away, but because of the betrayal of the elves, all the passages were sealed by human powerhouses who surpassed the gods.
With Rex's shrewdness, she could naturally guess Eileen's identity. However, she couldn't help unless she and Salin both advanced and surpassed the boundary of level-9. No, not even level-10. They had to be at least level-18 to have the ability to change the rules of the plane and reopen the passage to the Elven Plane.
In the entire Myers Continent, there were only a few level-10 figures. Level-18 only existed in legends. Salin and Rex had never thought of advancing to that level at all. Advancing to level-10 was a real dream. It was a daydream to hope for level-18 now.
In a sewer in Great Liang City, Tyrant turned over and sat up. It was already the end of December. He still hadn't completely controlled this body. Judging from the perception of a ghost, his current strength was only two-thirds of when he was in the dwarf's body. This body was more perfect than the dwarf's, but most of the abilities of a ghost didn't rely on the physical body and didn't have the stealth of the dwarf.
He woke up from his deep sleep because he heard Eileen's singing in the depths of his mind.
The singing of the elves was very stimulating to ghosts. Eileen's sorrow even made Tyrant unable to continue sleeping. Tyrant's eyes flashed with blood-red light. He paced back and forth in his hiding place, unable to calm down.
Damned elves, damned elves! I have to kill her. Otherwise, I can't do anything in Great Liang City. It's just that my strength has declined greatly. It's too difficult to kill an elf who restrains me.
Tyrant paced back and forth. He put his hand in the leather bag and checked his equipment one by one.
That elf was with the sorcerer who knew the Mirror Spell. If I were to assassinate her, I would definitely die! The sorcerer's strange finger had even shattered my sacred weapon. Now that I can't use the Soul Severing Spell, if I'm hit again, I won't even have the chance to possess a human for the third time.
I hate that elf. She took away more than 600 years of my life with two arrows. Even if I die, I will drag her down to hell with me!
Tyrant still didn't know that Eileen didn't use her full strength on the Life Arrow because she thought he was a human. Otherwise, one arrow would have killed him. He wandered around in the sewer for more than an hour before he found a piece of equipment in the leather bag. It was a greyish-white bead.
The Soul Bead could only be absorbed by killing ordinary people. He couldn't do it in Great Liang City. Otherwise, the sorcerer in the magic tower would immediately find out.
Hmm, it was said that the Yun Liu people had set up camp by the sea. He would first kill the scouts they sent and lure out an army without high-level sorcerers. That would allow him to recover most of his strength.
Tyrant made up his mind. He turned into a green smoke and headed south. The sorcerers in Great Liang City were all from Qin Yin. Regardless of their level, they weren't easy to fool. Tyrant's strength had decreased, so he didn't dare to cause trouble in Great Liang City. He could only target the Yun Liu people.
A normal person would leave Great Liang City and never come back. Spirit's hatred was too strong. Tyrant's resentment towards Eileen had now surpassed his desire to assassinate Salin.
In the blink of an eye, there was no snow in winter in Great Liang City. The temperature here would always be above freezing point. Rex listened to Salin's suggestion and re-fortified Great Liang City's defense facilities.
The core of Great Liang City was a small square city with a long history. The current three layers of city walls outside Great Liang City were built by Rex later.
Rex had many low-level sorcerers under his command. He simply used magic to fortify and increase the height of the core city. Only four city gates were left as Rex's palace. Two of Rex's royal swordsmen battalions were stationed in the palace. The three layers of city walls didn't need to be increased. What they needed was to add more large and medium-sized equipment.
Great Liang City had a total of six city gates. On each gate, a new metal watchtower was installed. The city gates were replaced with magic facilities that were wrapped in thicker red copper. The fortress outside the city dug a tunnel to the inside of the barbican. There were no more openings in the fortress. There were only shooting holes to shoot arrows out.
The Wing Skeletons sent the remaining white bone magic stone cannons over and set them up on the city walls. These magic stone cannons were useless against Yun Liu's warships, but they were definitely powerful weapons against infantry. Apart from the problem of consuming magic cores, there were almost no disadvantages.
Salin didn't care about consuming magic cores. As long as he could eliminate the Yun Liu people, he was willing to spend any amount of money.
Great Liang City has opened up six areas for the construction of Magic Towers. The city's sewers were reinforced and more magic barriers were set up. There was a river outside Great Liang City, but it didn't pass through the city. Fetching water was a problem. Fortunately, there were sorcerers who built a deep underground river that led to the city's reservoir.
This way, even if they were surrounded, the army wouldn't collapse due to lack of water and be unable to fight.
Rex couldn't copy too much of Salin's heavy infantry equipment in a short time. However, she had enough manpower. If she worked hard, she could make about six thousand sets by April.
Salin gave half of his bodyguards to Rex. These hundred bodyguards were Salin's strongest soldiers and had the best equipment. The elven alchemy crossbow couldn't be copied, because it required Divine Cherry Wood. However, Salin distributed the Purple Gold Liquid to all the members of Rex's swordsman battalion.
The liquid condensed by the purple gold sea urchins could achieve a terrifying anti-magic effect when smeared on ordinary alchemy arrowheads. Unfortunately, this thing was a consumable, and purple gold sea urchins couldn't be bred. Once used, there would be no more.
Rex also asked Salin for one thing. She wanted all the metal ores in Metatlin City in the past few months. Her metal Titan still hadn't been repaired. The damage caused at the beginning was too serious. If she wanted the metal Titan to become Rex's main combat force, she had to keep devouring metal and magic cores.
If the metal Titan could be repaired by April, Rex was confident that she could defeat the Yun Liu people. At least, she didn't have to worry about the Yun Liu people's large-scale equipment. If she released the metal Titan, it could destroy all the large-scale equipment of the Yun Liu people before the enemy Magic Shooters could hurt it.
