[There's one more update. The wedding date is approaching. Let's let Rex have a good New Year. We have to stabilize our monthly votes. It's the first time we're fighting for it, so we're not confident.]
April 10th was Salin's wedding day. On this day, Yun Liu's attack was inevitable. Salin didn't know how many spies there were in the city. He and Rex had recruited too many soldiers. Although there was a lie detection spell, it couldn't be used on every soldier. It could only be used on suspicious people.
Salin couldn't fight everywhere in the city on his wedding night. The soldiers who weren't included in the city defense were now Gu Xin's mercenaries.
Salin didn't know how loyal this army was, but none of them were spies from other countries. Moreover, the families of these people had all gone to Metatlin City. Gu Xin was their leader and Salin's follower. Salin trusted Gu Xin greatly when he asked him to guard his chambers.
"Gu Xin, Yun Liu wants to embarrass me. If there's a riot in the city on my wedding night, even if the riot is defeated, as long as Rex and I have to fight, Yun Liu will give us a hard slap in the face."
"Master, I understand." Gu Xin grasped the dragon-slaying flag tightly. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was just a bit excited. After working so hard for so many years and being kicked out of the empire by Donnie, he didn't expect to be put in an important position here. His brother didn't have to worry about his future anymore!
Trish led Gu Xin to meet the Mage who was practicing his combat skills with him. Gu Xin's happiness could not be any greater. Mages rarely practiced with Warriors. Even if they did, the Warriors would serve as a foil. This time, Salin had four Great Wizards accompany him to practice the Dragon Slaying Banner. This was simply unimaginable.
Salin's wedding day would be in half a month. Gu Xin still had plenty of time. He was so excited that he threw himself into training and almost forgot about Trish.
After Salin dealt with Gu Xin's matter, he looked at the remaining documents on the table. He called Rex's mages and asked them to take them back.
For some reason, Salin was very nervous. It wasn't because Yun Liu would cause trouble, but because of Rex.
He was going to get married? He was going to marry a princess, a Great Mage with thousands of square kilometers of territory and a noble bloodline. What about him? Was he still the orphan who couldn't forget his hunger?
Salin walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the Magic Tower where Rex was cultivating. Three Magic Towers were left in the palace, but the other two had to be moved outside the city to form two triangles. Only then would they be able to activate the no-flying domain.
When the three eight-story Magic Towers and three seven-story Magic Towers were activated, no Magician below the eighth rank would be able to fly over the city wall, and even Magicians of the ninth rank would be greatly affected.
Without speed, Mages could easily be targeted by alchemy crossbows. Therefore, with the no-fly area, even if Mages could break it, they wouldn't take the risk.
The only thing they had to guard against was a riot by the soldiers in the city. Most of the three hundred thousand newly recruited soldiers had military experience, so training them was easy. What was difficult was that you would never be able to see through a person's mind. Among these soldiers, there would be people from Yun Liu lying in ambush.
In the magic tower, rich elemental power filled every inch of space. Rex was meditating. She had accumulated enough strength, and what she needed now was an understanding of the soul, an understanding of the Magic Strings, and an understanding of some basic laws.
She had all the conditions. What she lacked was an environment like this to evolve her Magic Strings. The Godsifter Ring was quietly on Rex's finger, and there was no reaction. Rex would lose a lot if she relied on a divine weapon to help her advance.
This was Rex's Magic Tower. She was alone on the seventh floor, and all six windows were tightly shut. The magic formation on the ceiling and the magic formation under her feet resonated with each other, forming a space where the elements were abnormally stable and rich.
The material of the Magic Tower was naturally the best steel rock. Under the protection of the six magic formations, even if a Magic Shooter attacked, the Magic Tower would be able to defend until reinforcements arrived. Without the Magic Tower, it would be very dangerous for a Mage to advance. Rex couldn't be disturbed at this time, and she couldn't fight back.
Of course, Salin wouldn't allow Rex to be attacked at this time. On the lower floor of the Magic Tower were the ten or so Great Mages that Rex trusted the most. They had been with her since she was young. Below the Magic Tower, there were a hundred bodyguards and two hundred swordsmen in the courtyard. The hundred bodyguards were all holding elven alchemy crossbows, ready to deal with anyone who attacked the Magic Tower, even though it was unlikely to happen.
Salin walked to the bottom of the Magic Tower. The two hundred swordsmen and the bodyguards all recognized him. They gave him a simple military salute and remained on guard. Salin stood below the Magic Tower and looked up. Under the dark clouds, the color of the Magic Tower was getting darker.
He couldn't help but think of what he and Rex had experienced in Rafael's Magic Tower. Back then, he was still a low-level Mage, and Rex was already a Great Mage. In the Hell of God's Punishment, after he advanced, Rex was still an unreachable existence.
Those days were really tough. He had to worry about his own safety at every moment, and he couldn't think about the future at all.
Eleanor's Elven Wings flew across the sky. The No Flight Domain could allow her to fly, but it couldn't restrict Trish's flight in her original form. Salin suddenly remembered that the Cloud Flow people had flying magical beasts. This was troublesome.
Most magical beasts relied on their natural talents and wings to fly. The No Flight Domain had negligible influence on them. Although he had the Demon God Armor, the Demon Army hadn't been trained yet. The Demon God Armor that could fly was useless. For humans to wear it, they had to be at least an advanced Swordsman.
Eleanor's shadow flew far away. She familiarized herself with the city in the sky. She carried the longbow Seven Nights on her back, but held a short bow in her hand. This short bow was also made of Celestial Cherry Wood, and its shooting range was extremely long. If it wasn't necessary, Eleanor wouldn't waste her energy and use Seven Nights to attack.
After all, she was still a Level-6 and couldn't unleash the full power of Seven Nights.
In the Magic Tower, Rex was meditating when she suddenly felt the magic strings in her body start to grow slowly. After sensing and manipulating them for ten consecutive hours, she could finally make the magic strings active and start to evolve.
On Rex's magic strings, a layer of faint golden color enveloped the six-colored magic strings. This was her family's secret technique. Regardless of whether it was learning martial arts or magic, it wouldn't affect her at all.
This golden aura intertwined with the magic strings, restricting Rex's magic strings from growing any further. However, Rex's accumulation had already reached an absolute peak. Under her control, the golden aura started to seep into the magic strings.
Suddenly, Rex had a hallucination. The surrounding six elements suddenly surged violently into her body. In an instant, she almost lost control of her mind.
"Stop!" Rex shouted in a low voice. The golden aura started to tremble violently, and the hallucination was destroyed. Only then did Rex regain control of her senses.
The six-colored magic strings grew outward from Rex's body. In the blink of an eye, they broke through his skin and rushed out.
Together with the golden aura, Rex's magic strings turned seven-colored! This was a secret technique unique to the Glücos Family. If Rex had learned swordsmanship, the sword aura she formed could be said to be invincible.
Emperor Charnak had used this secret technique to kill dozens of powerful fighters from the Vatican alone.
After the seven-colored magic strings grew, they really started to absorb the elemental power in the Magic Tower. The 36 small Magic Spell Formations in the six corners of the Magic Tower started to operate and started to provide elemental power to Rex.
The balanced six elements were absorbed and transformed by the magic strings. The magic strings became abnormally thick. It was as if Rex was a giant octopus in the ocean, waving its seven tentacles.
If not for the many Magic Spell Formations in the Magic Tower, with six high-level Magic Cores embedded in each Magic Spell Formation, Rex's magic strings wouldn't be able to absorb the elemental power at all.
Any Mage who wanted to advance to become a Magic Shooter had to have an environment like the Magic Tower.
Rex felt extremely comfortable. When she advanced to become a Great Mage, she was in extreme pain. This time, the growth of the magic strings was also transforming her body at the same time.
In Rex's body, the six elements were constantly changing, forming a perfect balance. This transformation of her body allowed Rex to cast spells below the seventh-tier without worrying about any magical backlash. The body of a Magic Shooter was actually no longer that of an ordinary human. It would be extremely difficult for them to give birth.
If Rex didn't know that Salin had the Magic String Potion that could allow her to give birth, she would definitely be affected, and even fail at the last moment. However, with Salin's guarantee, she could forget about this trouble after spending 800,000 gold coins at most.
In comparison, 800,000 gold coins was not much of a problem.
She was mentally stable, and she had accumulated enough experience. This made it a hundred times easier for Rex to advance than Salin. The seven-colored magic strings absorbed the elemental power at a crazy rate. The magic strings that were like liquid gradually started to shrink into her body, trying to fuse with it.
Rex forced the magic strings to stay outside her body. She needed stronger magic strings to increase her combat power.
The magic strings of a normal Mage could cast spells of the same level 12 times. Rex knew that Salin's magic strings were at least twice as big as hers. Every Mage hoped that their magic strings could be stronger. That way, they could save more time and money during cultivation.
For example, Salin's cultivation time was twice that of others. When his magic strings were exhausted, he had already practiced spells of the same level 24 times, while other Mages had practiced 12 times.
The seven-colored magic strings danced outside of Rex's body, becoming stronger and thicker. The 36 small Magic Spell Formations in the corners of the Magic Tower spewed out even more intense elemental power, and the high-level Magic Cores became dimmer and dimmer. Rex had already made sufficient preparations. However, her magic strings were one more than the other Mages, and she tried to double their size. This many high-level Magic Cores could not provide the corresponding power.
