It was afternoon, and there were no shadows on the west side of the temple. Sicar's smile was very bright under the sun.
"Hey, Salin, you're very proud now!" Sicar waited for Salin to come closer and patted his shoulder lightly. It was the first time Salin felt that Sicar was so gentle.
Controlling one's power was a very difficult thing. What Shika was doing now was already better than most Sword Saints.
"Why should I be proud?"
"Rex gave you the Six-Winged Snake Seal. I asked a few mages and found out what it was." Sicar's words made Salin blush.
"Erm … How are you?"
"I'm fine, but they don't let me exercise. It's boring. You have to accompany me now that you're back."
Salin calculated in his mind. It was mid-July, and he had to leave immediately to go to the Frozen Sea. Otherwise, he could only try his luck on an alchemy ship. There were still four months before Sicar could give birth, so he should be able to make it in time.
What if he brought Sicar out? The Caucasians would probably go crazy!
Daniel was still in charge of the city affairs. He did not come to welcome Salin, nor did the three duchesses. Everyone knew that Salin had to spend time with Sicar, so they did not want to disturb him. Salin and Shika entered the shrine and sent everyone away. When they were the only ones left in the room, Shika kicked Sala's calf.
"Don't you know how worried I was when I was here alone?"
"Ah!" Salin was startled, but then he realized that Sicar's kick was ridiculously light. It was as if she was a weak woman suddenly throwing a tantrum.
"Sicar, I'm back, but I won't leave for now. Next time, I'll bring you wherever I go." Salin knew a lot about women now, and found that they were not as scary as the books said. As long as he was sincere, it was fine.
"You brought the Winged Skeleton back. Are you going out to sea? I want to go too! "
"The Caucasians won't agree!"
"You're back. I was just about to tell you that the Caucasians outside the city are rebelling!"
"Rebelling? They want you to leave. "Salin smiled. What he predicted had happened. Large-scale tribes gradually appeared among the North Caucasus, and they no longer lived in small villages. This inevitably gave rise to more power. He had placed the Gaugass in such a vast area and let them develop freely because he had thought that such a day would come.
"If you already knew, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Sicar rubbed Salin's face with both hands and asked fiercely.
"Then what did you do?" Salin asked.
"I've sealed the city gates and dragged out all the fellows in the city to use them as materials for my equipment. Caucasians don't need to scheme. I'm a Priestess, and it's a blasphemy for them to treat me like this, "Shika said. She suddenly felt that these words were taught to her by the Magician.
"Hmpf, in any case, I cleaned up the people in the city. Now that the South Gaugasses are fine, the North Gaugasses outside the city need food and tools. I was just about to ask you if you would treat it as a rebellion. "
"Of course it's a rebellion. This is the Metatlin Kingdom. Every inch of their land is mine," Salin answered very naturally.
"Then what did I do?" Sicar asked carefully. Salin had asked her to be the regent to handle such a big matter, but she still wasn't very confident.
"Not bad. You knew to wait for me to come back and discuss. Actually, I didn't remind you because I wanted you to see that not all Caucasians are like what you think. I like your village chief, but those elders are more scheming. They're not bad people. What about the North Gaugasses you mentioned? So, I did it on purpose. After so many things have happened, it's much easier to discuss with you. "
Salin didn't hide his thoughts, and Sicar didn't mind. She just nodded and said, "Anyway, I only wanted to protect my own village from the start."
"I won't start a war in your name. The land is mine. If they don't want to pay taxes, they'll get out of my country."
"When do you plan to do it?"
"When the child is born, no goods are allowed to flow into the hands of the North Gaugasses. Seal the passage between the mountains in the south and the plains in the west more thoroughly. I want to build a few magic buildings there, or even a six-story magic tower for a Level-6 Great Mage to live in."
"Salin …"
"What, you think it's cruel?"
"No, whether they live or die has nothing to do with me. They wanted to take you and my child away. This is absolutely unforgivable. I just want to ask, can you take me to the Frozen Sea? "
It was still the same question. Salin said with a headache, "Your men won't agree."
"Take them with you. I have many strong people here now!" Sicar said proudly. Her thirty-six guards were all Gaugass warriors equivalent to quasi-Saint Swordsman level.
"If you can convince them, that's fine." Salin certainly hoped that Sicar was by his side. It seemed that the trouble with Alchemy City would not appear for the time being. Two warships had been sunk, and Alchemy City must know why.
"I'm the King of Caucasian now. Convince? I'm afraid you won't agree. "
"The ship is safer than the city. The Wing Skeleton …" Salin thought about it and didn't know how to describe it. The Wing Skeleton had not only increased in strength, but also seemed to have become smarter, more autonomous, and more creative. Was it still an undead creature?
However, it was a good thing that the Wing Skeleton's strength had increased. Otherwise, the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship would not have been repaired so quickly. With the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, Salin didn't think that Sicar would be hurt.
He heard the description of the battle between the Wing Skeleton and Yun Liu Magic Shooter. A 9th Rank High Mage was admittedly powerful, but the main reason the Winged Skeleton had been trapped was because the water was too shallow. If it had been in the ocean, a High Mage wouldn't have been able to trap an alchemy ship that could sink several kilometers.
"Salin, I forgot that you just came back. Do you want to rest or eat something first?" Sicar wanted to help Salin sit down, but Salin hurriedly said, "You don't even need to do this. Why are you … so hardworking now!"
"Of course I'm hardworking when you don't let me do anything," Sicar said, very dissatisfied.
"I'll call someone over."
"No need. There are people outside." Sicar clapped her hands, and twelve Caucasian warriors walked into her room. Salin glanced over and saw the strength of these warriors. They were all good.
"Your Highness, Your Highness." The Caucasian warriors saluted. Sicar said, "Prepare food. Salin is hungry."
The Gaugass warriors nodded and left in high spirits. Salin was a little surprised. Sicar said sullenly, "What I can eat now is up to them. Also, it has to be checked by Magic Shooters, Necromancers, and all kinds of magic arrays before they can put the food on my table."
"Then what are they happy about?"
"Maybe it's fun to make me feel helpless?"
Sicar's complaints were useless. Even if all the Caucasians in the city were loyal to her, she couldn't decide what she could eat and what she couldn't.
In fact, as the Earth Priest, Sicar had the most say in whether there was a problem with the food. But the Caucasians didn't think so. They thought that the most important thing for Sicar now was to ensure her health. They couldn't be too careful.
The Caucasian priests used to be a huge and complicated profession. In the last thousand years, there were only two branches left — Beast Soul Priests and Battle Priests.
The rarity of a Battle Priest, as well as the position of ultimate achievement, made Sicar a unique Caucasian. Because in the legends, the strongest priest of the Caucasian was a Nature Priest.
Sicar could understand everyone's feelings. Even if she wasn't pregnant, her existence was extremely precious to the South Caucasians. Even if she was ten times stronger than any of the warriors under her command, they would still rush to the front to protect her. It seemed that she should expand on some skills. Healing, defense, protection, blessing …
Salin continued to delay the matter of the North Caucasians. He could see that although the North Caucasians wanted to be independent, they didn't have the strength to do so. Because the North Caucasians had no land, no large equipment, and no money.
Personal strength alone wasn't enough. Establishing a country required unimaginable amounts of money.
If this dragged on, the North Caucasians would sooner or later be unable to hold on. They would either surrender, or take the risk and attack Great Liang City. Either way, the result would be the same.
Salin wasn't worried that Sicar would do something wrong. The more than 300,000 Caucasians outside the city were a good fighting force. Sicar wouldn't easily make a move. After all, the number of soldiers in the city was insufficient. In the mountains, it was the Caucasians' world.
He also didn't worry about being blamed. The land was mine, and I could let whoever I wanted to live there.
The Winged Skeleton was very busy. As soon as he came back, he went to the port and adjusted the repaired Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship in the underwater dock. The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was hit by a level-nine magic. The surface of the turtle shell was petrified, and its defense dropped a lot. The Winged Skeleton had to add stronger materials to replace the petrified parts.
The important part was the weapon part. The Winged Skeleton found the weakness of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship. Relying on the bone spirit in the spirit pool alone, the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship couldn't deal with a huge fleet. Moreover, controlling the bone spirit, unless it was always near the target, the bone spirit could easily be hit by the enemy.
It didn't need to be too difficult. Any Magic Shooter could accurately hit the bone spirit and make the Bloodtear Stone explode.
What the Winged Skeleton wanted to improve was the use of the Bloodtear Stone. From the soul fire of the Monarch, the Winged Skeleton found a lot of knowledge in Necromancy Alchemy.
