"Third update, one more update. The double monthly pass only lasts until the seventh of this month. Don't waste it. "
"Princess, people from Alchemy City are here." The Life Mage explained to Rex patiently. She understood Rex's emotions. Women who were about to get married were always nervous and couldn't sleep well. Anyone who was woken up at this time would be angry.
"Alchemy City? Where's Salin? "Rex immediately put on his clothes and got out of bed.
"Someone has already gone to call His Highness. Princess, where should we receive the people from Alchemy City?"
Rex thought for a moment. With the relationship between Alchemy City and the royal family, it was impossible for them to assassinate him.
"Let's go to Salin's place. I'll bring them in three minutes after I meet with Salin."
"Yes, Princess. I'll arrange it right away." The Life Mage left. Rex frowned. Alchemy City had already sent a gift. Why did they still send people over? And instead of waiting until tomorrow, they wanted to meet him in the middle of the night. Was there some trouble?
Rex came to Salin's building with doubts. Seeing that Salin had already put on the Demonic God Set, Rex smiled. "Salin, Alchemy City won't assassinate us, even if your existence disrupted their order."
"Sorcerers can only trust knowledge," Salin replied with a smile. He thought that although his magic core business hadn't disrupted the market yet, as long as he had the power to develop the Frozen Sea, it was only a matter of time.
Alchemy City controlled about 90% of the magic core market on the continent and about 50% of the magic equipment market. If he died, Alchemy City would continue to maintain this monopoly.
Rex thought about it and agreed. He and Salin weren't officially married yet. If Salin was assassinated, it wouldn't be considered killing a member of the Glücos family.
"So, will you meet them?"
"Yes, of course. Nicholas is hiding inside. I called Eleanor over. She's upstairs, and Trish is on the roof. Who else can hurt me in front of you? "Salin said, but he took out his mask and put it on.
This mask worked with the Demonic God Set to fully utilize the six level-seven spells on the set.
Salin didn't use this even when he encountered assassins. This was his and Joey's secret. No one knew that his Demonic God Set had so many advanced spells. Salin would never use it unless it was a matter of life and death.
The timing of the arrival of the people from Alchemy City was too coincidental. It happened to be the eve of his and Rex's wedding. Salin was no longer cautious, but nervous.
As the two of them discussed some countermeasures to deal with the unexpected, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Salin heard a woman laughing softly. She was still outside the door, but she had already called out, "Salin, it's so troublesome to see you. You have to wait outside."
Salin felt that the voice was unfamiliar, which meant that it was someone he hadn't seen for a long time. Rex glared at him. In the middle of the night, a young woman came looking for him, and she wasn't even married yet.
The door was opened from the outside, and under the soft magic light, a young woman in a red dress walked in. She had long black hair, and like Yun Liuren, it was tied up behind her head with a flower hairpin.
This girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her eyes were black and bright, and she was lively and had a tender and beautiful face. Salin looked at it and suddenly remembered. He opened his mouth and said, "Huo Jinna?"
"Yes, Hopkina? Greetings, Your Highnesses. "Huo Jinna bent her knees slightly and bowed.
This girl was someone Salin and Rex met when they went to Alchemy City to buy a house. Her teacher was a powerful Level-Nine Magic Shooter. Salin still remembered that person. He had six legs on his lower body and a mechanical tail.
Master Inpos, an alchemy maniac.
Salin heaved a sigh of relief. This Huo Jinna was only a Level-Two Mage back then, so she shouldn't be dangerous. That's not right! She looks like she's already a Great Mage!
Salin became nervous again, but then he remembered that Huo Jinna's teacher was a Level-Nine Magic Shooter who was good at alchemy. His only student, Huo Jinna, must be a carefully selected genius. With such a good inheritance, it was normal for her to become a Great Mage. He was the one who was abnormal.
"Huo Jinna, why are you here? Quick, sit. " Rex didn't put on airs. Instead, he ordered someone to move a chair for Huo Jinna to the side.
Huo Jinna sat down with a smile and said, "I've been on the road for a month. I'm so thirsty. Give me some water."
Salin smiled. Huo Jinna's personality was still so cute. He took a porcelain cup from the table and made some Recovery Water for Huo Jinna.
Huo Jinna gulped down a cup of water and let out a comfortable breath. She handed the cup back to Salin and said, "It's all because of those old fellows from Alchemy City. They wanted to contact you but didn't want to cause any misunderstandings, so they found a familiar face. You've been there before, and I received you, so they sent me here. "
"You?" Salin was confused. If it was something important, why would they send such a young Mage over? Even if she was a Great Mage, she was too insignificant for Alchemy City.
"I know, I'm a Little Mage. But it's okay, my teacher is powerful. The people who came with me can't enter the palace. I've arranged for them to stay outside, in a posthouse. " Huo Jinna wasn't angry at Salin's belittlement. She had grown a lot taller, but her personality hadn't changed much.
"How many people did you bring?" Rex asked patiently. Huo Jinna's words often went off topic, so she had to bring them back.
"Just two. The followers that my teacher found for me are all idiots," Huo Jinna answered indifferently.
"Is Alchemy City in charge, or are you the only one?"
"My teacher is here, but he has something to do and won't come immediately. He asked me to communicate with you first. It's so tiring to talk like this, you guys … "
"You're hungry, right? Prepare something to eat." Rex had no choice but to arrange for someone to prepare something for Huo Jinna.
Although they knew that Huo Jinna wasn't here to assassinate them, Salin and Rex still didn't feel relaxed. Huo Jinna had clearly calculated the time and arrived at Daliang City before the two of them got married. That meant that if things didn't go well, Alchemy City might make a move and affect the marriage.
They sent Huo Jinna here to apply pressure, but they didn't want to cause a violent reaction from Salin and Rex. Magicians were people too, so they sent someone they knew over. Some things could be said directly, especially a girl like Huo Jinna, who wouldn't make Salin and Rex feel awkward.
Luckily, Huo Jinna didn't have any special requirements for food. She made some snacks, then some oatmeal, some goose meat, and some vegetables. That was basically enough to satisfy Huo Jinna.
Salin and Rex both ate with her, and tea was served after the meal. Rex had to ask again, "Huo Jinna, are you a messenger from Alchemy City?"
"How could I be!" Huo Jinna looked at Rex with a shocked expression, as if she had seen an ancient beast.
"I'm just here to pass on a message. If you guys get angry after hearing it, you probably won't be able to kill me. Right? "
"Makes sense." Salin felt that his answer was too awkward.
"Actually, it's quite simple. I won't talk about what they told me before." Huo Jinna might have found this kind of thing boring, so she just told them the bottom line that Alchemy City had given her. This was something that the people from Alchemy City didn't expect. Huo Jinna had just arrived in Daliang City, and she already revealed her bottom line.
Of course, the conditions that Alchemy City gave Huo Jinna weren't the final ones. Everything could be discussed, but Huo Jinna's actions were too fatal for negotiations.
"Your Highness, sigh, this is so awkward. Salin, I'll just call you Salin. You all know that there are many Magic Shooters in Alchemy City. The real power lies in the hands of nine Level Nine Magic Shooters. These nine Level Nine Magic Shooters control everything in Alchemy City. In fact, the magic cores and equipment on the Myers Continent are also controlled by these nine people. Without their tacit approval, no one dares to sell these things in large quantities. "
Huo Jinna revealed the background of Alchemy City in one breath. Rex couldn't help but ask, "What about Master Inpos?"
"My teacher. He's a freelance Mage. Alchemy City needs his skills, so they aren't strict. In fact, there are other Level Nine Mages in Alchemy City who don't have the same treatment as my teacher."
So she's a neutral Mage! Salin and Rex understood that if Huo Jinna wasn't lying, then Alchemy City was indeed sincere in coming this time. On the contrary, if they had sent an important Mage from Alchemy City, then there would be a problem.
Thinking of this, Rex realized that Huo Jinna had gone off topic again. This girl, other than magic and alchemy, seemed to be a little … a little brainless in everything else.
"Huo Jinna …"
"Your Highness, I know. I'll get to the point. Alchemy City hopes that Metatlin City will still supply the magic cores to Alchemy City in the future and not trade with Holy Rock City privately. "
"That's impossible." Salin rejected her flatly. Not for anything else, but for Ojarvis, who had sent so many resources and supported Rex unreservedly. These resources were enough for a person to start a kingdom from scratch.
"Salin, Alchemy City is willing to offer a higher price." Huo Jinna was confused when she was interrupted by Salin before she could finish.
"It's not a matter of money. If I agree, Alchemy City will ask to monitor the number of magic cores I get every year to prevent private trade. If that's the case, Alchemy City will at least have to station Mages in Metatlin City and follow our hunting team. Huo Jinna, you're still too young. You don't know the problem here. "Salin didn't hide his thoughts and directly exposed Alchemy City's tricks.
"So that's how it is! Those old guys are lying to me, boohoo … "Huo Jinna looked like she was about to cry. Salin also found it funny. She was clearly just putting on a show and definitely wouldn't cry.
