Protect Kushui Prefecture?
Salin didn't understand who would have the guts to come to Kushui Prefecture looking for trouble. However, this request was very much in line with Salin's intentions. He didn't like to protect or follow anyone.
The training of magic had a lot to do with the purity of one's state of mind.
"I'm willing to stay and be Mr. Fayern's assistant. If Kushui Prefecture is attacked one day, I will protect it with all the mages in this city. "Salin's reply was flawless.
If one wanted something, one had to pay the same price.
Salin thought of this maxim, and no longer had his previous concerns. If he wished to receive help from others, he had to pay the price. He was willing to make this vow.
"Yes, Salin. Come here." Princess Rex smiled and took out a silver badge.
Salin took two steps forward and took the badge. The badge was cold and heavy, while Princess Rex's fingers were warm and gentle.
"This badge isn't very useful. When you advance to level-four, you'll have to leave Kushui Prefecture and learn more about the true meaning of magic on your journey. With this and your identity as an Archmage, you'll be pardoned no matter what crimes you commit. "
Princess Rex played with her fingers and smiled innocently, like a noble girl who didn't know about the world.
"Princess …"
"Salin, ask Fayern if you have any questions. I've given him all the information I've gathered. What you need now is a good rest. Don't let this disturb your magic training. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. However, the mages can't avenge you. I won't let them do that. "
"Thank you, Princess." Salin bowed and swallowed the words he wanted to say.
He did want the mages to help. Although Count Alphonso had to do it himself, Salin wanted to hire someone to kill the mage from Luminous Sun City. He had enough money to hire some mages. However, since Princess Rex didn't force him to do anything, the other mages would naturally receive the same treatment.
If the princess didn't say anything, these mages wouldn't bear to leave, even if he offered enough money.
"Salin, I really admire your teacher. He actually went to challenge a Great Magician in the Magic Tower. You have to work hard. Don't let your teacher down. "When Princess Rex said this, she didn't have any sense of superiority at all. There was even a hint of yearning in her eyes.
She was also a magician. She was shocked when she heard the news from Byrne's men. If it were him, would he have the courage to challenge a Level-6 Mage with a Magic Tower?
A trace of warmth flowed through Salin's heart. Jason had actually done such a shocking thing for him. Unfortunately, he had fallen into Count Alphonso's trap and was being used.
After Salin left the room, Byrne slowly appeared in the shadows under the window.
The snow outside the window continued to pour into the room, but before it could get close to Byrne's body, it vaporized silently and disappeared.
"Byrne, the world is going to be in chaos. Summon all the people from the swordsman camp back. The training is over." Princess Rex's tone was a little heavy. She knew much more information than what she had told Salin.
Count Alphonso looked like he wanted to fight to the death this time. It seemed like he had made up his mind to join the Holy Church. There would be chaos in Scotia, but the Dark Mages in the Phoenix Duchy hadn't been eliminated yet. There were only two roads from Phoenix to the Qinyin Empire. Both were easy to guard. Even if the situation in Phoenix deteriorated, it wouldn't directly affect the Qinyin Empire.
However, there were many small roads from Phoenix to the Jialou Duchy, and it would be hard to prevent the infiltration of the Dark Mages. The Jialou Duchy was the barrier of the Qinyin Empire. If there was chaos, it would affect all the surrounding duchies. These duchies were the buffer zone of the four empires. Once there was a conflict, all the other duchies would be dragged into it.
The news from the Cloud Flow Empire wasn't good either. It was rumored that the Cloud Flow Empire was trying hard to expand the number of mages, and it was said that the Cloud Flow Empire was doing more things. In fact, the Cloud Flow Empire even started to chase away the priests of the Holy Church like the Qin Yin Empire did.
These things definitely didn't happen by chance. It was as if there was an invisible hand pushing all of this.
"What about the mages?"
"There's no rush. If Kushui Prefecture is in danger, they will come back," Princess Rex said confidently.
"But, you'll be 18 next year …"
"Byrne, if I give the order, they will come back immediately. However, this will affect the cultivation of some people. With you guys here, I'll be reassured. Moreover, I'm also an archmage. "Princess Rex stopped Byrne.
Salin returned to Feylen's courtyard. He glanced at the laboratory but didn't knock on the door. He walked back to his room and woke up Neris who was sleeping. He said, "Go get ready. I want to take a bath."
"Master, you seem very unhappy." When Neris was alone with Salin, she still spoke the Ancient Myers Language. For some reason, whenever she spoke other languages, she would stutter.
"It's okay. I'll be fine in a few days." Salin also felt a little strange. Ever since the coolness of the necklace seeped into his body, his thoughts gradually became clearer, and his anger was suppressed easily.
The three items in the Bestowal Ring were all very mysterious. He didn't know what the gourd was for. If he could figure it out, perhaps his strength would increase even faster.
Salin took off the glove on his left hand, revealing his left hand.
This hand was even whiter and more delicate than Princess Rex's. If it wasn't for the clear feeling of being connected by blood, Salin would have even mistaken it for someone else's hand.
Salin still wasn't sure what this hand could be used for. Currently, it could store two strange magic shields. These two magic shields could only be activated with mental strength. It had already been a few months, but they still hadn't dissipated. When facing Feylen's Fireball last time, the two Water Pattern Shields shrunk a lot, but they returned to their original size in the past few days.
Count Alphonso was a Sword Saint. These two Water Pattern Shields were low-level spells, after all. They definitely couldn't block the attack of a Sword Saint's sword aura. Did he really have to wait until he became a Magic Shooter to take revenge?
If only the Water Pattern Shield could advance like the Fireball. Salin thought of Feylen's blue fireball. Apart from envy, he had a vague idea. If he used Figaro's magic formula to calculate, the Water Pattern Shield's incantation could be modified. Could this modification allow the Water Pattern Shield to advance?
The Water Pattern Shield itself was a bit strange. A level-one spell had the defense of a level-two spell.
While Salin was thinking, a servant had already changed the hot water for Salin under Neris's command. Salin took off his clothes and sank his whole body into the water.
"All … get out." Neris chased away the servants. She didn't bother Salin, but sat at the door and looked at the snow in the yard.
Master was in a bad mood today. He seemed to be homesick. Home …
He didn't have a home. Since the day he could remember things, he had been living in pursuit and killing. Capturing weak magic insects, familiars, and avoiding the hunting of demons and Greater Demons — this was all there was to life.
Neris reached out and caught a snowflake. The snowflake quickly melted in her palm and became a drop of cool water.
This plane was great, but why did he miss the Demonic Plane that was full of volcanoes? The air in the Demonic Plane was always filled with smoke, and corrosive gases condensed into balls, drifting everywhere. The tenacious plants were usually poisonous, and even demons had to be careful.
The best memory was probably the moment when he tore open the magic insect's shell and smelled the fragrance of meat. Neris took out a piece of fresh meat from her bracelet and chewed it hard, but she couldn't taste it.
The bathtub was very big. If it wasn't a place like the princess's residence, it would take a lot of time to prepare hot water in this season. Salin immersed himself completely in the water, and didn't do magic training step by step.
The water temperature was slightly high, and the coolness in his body persisted. Salin focused his senses and penetrated the black necklace with his spiritual power. The black necklace was made up of twenty-four black crystals. Salin had tried many times to study it, but he couldn't find the secret of this necklace. This time, the necklace released its aura and connected with his body, which made it possible for spiritual power to penetrate.
These were incomparably pure crystals. Salin didn't need to expend much effort to examine all twenty-four black crystals. There was nothing in the crystal, no space, no magic symbols, and no traces of processing.
But why could this necklace actively balance the state of his body? Salin clearly remembered that he almost lost control of his magic strings, and his spiritual power was in disorder. He couldn't release any magic at all, and could only wait for death to come.
Only now did he know that his magic strings' flaw was not only that they could only cast water magic, but also that they weren't very stable. Once his spiritual power was in disorder, the magic strings would start to play tricks. This was a fatal flaw. Without this necklace, he would be in danger at any time.
There was a spiritual shock in high-level magic, which would usually cause the enemy to faint. But if he was hit by this, he would be dead for sure.
After examining for a long time, Salin didn't find anything hidden in the necklace. Could it be that his level was too low?
Salin carefully recalled the moment when he lost control. At that time, the coldness in the necklace immediately seeped into every corner of his body. It didn't seem to be divine arts, nor was it magic. Everything was untraceable, and even the elements were abnormally balanced. There was no starting point, and there was no way to use Figaro's formula to deduce it.
Salin simply immersed his senses in the necklace, and his spiritual power didn't search anymore. He just quietly rested. After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly a dull sound of thunder outside the window.
This sound directly hit Salin's heart. With a boom, the space in the necklace completely opened.
