Hang in there. There are two more chapters left. Don't scold me if you don't finish.]
In the next few days, Salin reorganized the government affairs after he left and met with the dukes. Salin also specially arranged for Daniel and the Winged Skeleton to meet and communicate.
Daniel, as the former owner of the Winged Skeleton, abandoned him and traded him to Salin. Now that the Winged Skeleton was so powerful, Daniel didn't feel regret. Instead, he felt shame.
The Winged Skeleton seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness. It helped Daniel refine the Undead Flames, improved the quality of Daniel's Undead Flames, and gave him the coordinates of the Undead Plane.
Only with good coordinates could he summon a good undead. If it was a barren land that could only give birth to skeletons, it wouldn't be a level-nine bone dragon that could be summoned.
Salin also inspected the troops in and out of the city and visited an arena competition.
The arena was still making money, and it was earning more and more. Most of the people who walked out of the arena were absorbed into the army, and a few were hired by the nobles as bodyguards.
This was a fast way to promotion. Many professionals set their eyes on the arena, and the arena business was booming. And the residents of Metatlin were more and more interested in this competition, which was not expensive but very entertaining. Moreover, there would be one or two people who suddenly became rich in the arena every day.
Salin didn't waste any more time. After obtaining the consent of the Caucasians, Salin's fleet set off for the Frozen Sea.
Sicar brought thirty-six Caucasian warriors, the Coiled Turtle alchemy ship, and more than ten Necromancers. The Necromancers on this ship felt like they were in a Necromancer Magic Tower. Because the alchemy ship had been remodeled, the Winged Skeleton could already use it as a giant piece of equipment, so he didn't have to worry about protecting Salin.
If they encountered a strong opponent again, the speed and depth of the alchemy ship would allow the Winged Skeleton to quickly escape from the battlefield.
The cabin had been remodeled. The middle of the ship was Salin's residence, and it was no longer narrow and cramped. The walls of the cabin were all made of crystal. Temporary magic arrays could be drawn or embedded into the walls.
Shika was lying quietly on the big bed in the middle of the room. He said to Sarlin in boredom, "There doesn't seem to be much to do. It's boring on the ship."
As soon as she said that, the magic patterns on the surrounding crystal walls flickered, and then the crystal walls turned into windows. The scenery of the surrounding ocean was all teleported in through magic.
This time, the hunting fleet didn't move together. The Dragon Skeleton Warship, which was piloted by Jade Skeleton, led all the remaining bone warships in Metatlin City. The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, on the other hand, headed for the Frozen Sea alone.
The speed of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship had reached more than 120 miles in shallow water, and it was still gradually accelerating. The huge bubble wrapped around the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, so that the hull of the ship received almost no friction resistance.
Sicca calmed down. She leaned back on the pillow and pulled Salin to lie down beside her, admiring the view of the sea.
The distance from Metatlin City to the Frozen Sea had always been a problem that was difficult to measure. When they reached the periphery of the Frozen Sea, the distance measurement function of the magic compass began to become chaotic. Ordinary warships would probably immediately lose their direction if they went in.
The speed of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was too fast. If it weren't for the magic circle, the scenery outside would probably just be a series of shadows.
They were still in the coastal waters, and the magic beasts weren't that strong. In July, the shoals of fish in the sea didn't go south. The large number of magic beasts in the sea made Sicca smile.
"Hey, Salin, look at those cute little fish!"
"Those are files. Even magic sharks can be gnawed until there are no bones left." Salin answered helplessly. Sicca had no idea about sea magic beasts. Files were magic beasts that lived in groups, and they specialized in eating large magic beasts. Once they found a target, they would swarm up with their mouths full of sharp teeth, which were a hundred times sharper than files.
"So many seaweeds, and they're even glowing!"
"Only the sea has seaweeds. This is … this is a sea snake, very poisonous."
"Look at that squid, its eyes are so beautiful!" Sicca pointed at a squid following the alchemy ship. The alchemy ship was extremely fast, and in fact, there were always magic beasts in the sea following it. These magic beasts could save a lot of energy by following the alchemy ship.
"This … is indeed a squid, but what you're talking about is not the eyes, but the exposed magic core of the squid."
"Magic core! Hurry up, let the Wing Skeleton kill it! "
"Sicca, this is a level-two magic beast. Do you know how many magic cores we'll lose to stop it?"
Sicca blushed and mumbled, "I see that the magic core is colorful. At least it's very beautiful."
Salin smiled. Sicca used to be too lazy to take a bath, but now she knew how to dress up, and knew that she liked beautiful, shiny things. This one seemed … seemed to be a silver-billed raven.
"But Sicca, since you think it's beautiful." Salin pointed at the squid following the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship. A bubble emerged from the shell of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, passing through the bubble protecting the alchemy ship and wrapping the squid inside.
The trapped squid was only a level-three magic beast, and Salin's Water Pattern Shield was a level-four mutated magic. It couldn't break free at all. Salin controlled the bubble and let it go along the hull to the teleportation circle above the ship, and then into the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship.
Not long after, the little squid was put into a glass bottle and sent to Sicca's room.
Salin held the bottle, and Sicca smiled at the little squid in the bottle. The squid's eyes were very small, and above the eyes was an exposed magic core. Its dozens of tentacles hit the glass bottle, trying to break the shackles.
Looking closely, Sicca found that the two beautiful exposed magic cores reflected each other, and could play a role in confusing people's minds. But she and Salin's level were far higher than the squid, so they weren't affected.
"I remember, this is what black mages like to use. It can be ground into powder and taken orally." Salin looked at the little squid in the glass bottle and suddenly remembered the origin of this magic beast.
"Eat the magic core? Isn't that the same as Neris? "
"It's ground into powder and made into a black magic potion. It can improve people's fighting power, and when they pray, they will be more focused."
The glass bottle trembled slightly, and the little squid suddenly spat out ink. The whole bottle suddenly became dark. It had no intelligence, and was only struggling by instinct.
"Can this thing be raised?" Salin couldn't help but ask. Although Sicca didn't know this magic beast, she could understand some of its habits and attributes after a little contact.
"It should be possible. It's not very intelligent, but it's not completely stupid." Sicca knocked on the bottle, and there was no more movement in the bottle. The little squid was playing dead in the ink.
"Then don't kill it. It's quite cute." Salin said to Sicca.
"Then don't kill it. But what does it eat?"
"I don't know. Mages usually use dissection to understand magic beasts."
"Then catch more and see what it eats."
"But this ink can't be wasted. It can be used to write scrolls," Salin said to himself.
Shika lightly punched Salin with his fist. "No wonder you want to stay and raise it. You've taken a liking to this Ink 'er. Mages are really … "
"If you want to live, you have to pay. Even humans have to pay, let alone a little squid."
The two put the glass bottle on the bed and chatted. Sicca finally didn't feel bored. The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship moved quickly. Whenever they found any cute creatures, Sicca would let Salin catch them.
Most of the low-level magic beasts survived. Some tried to resist, but were killed by Sicca and had their magic cores dug out. There were many more bottles in the cabin. These glass bottles were very strong, even harder than steel. There was no way for low-level magic beasts to escape if they were put in them.
The Caucasian warriors outside the cabin knew that the priest was having fun, so they relaxed a lot. They didn't want Sicca to go out, but since Salin asked, they couldn't stop him.
"Salin, I'm so happy that you can accompany me. I thought I could be alone …" Sicca suddenly looked a little sad, but there were no tears.
"What are you talking about, Sicca? This time, we are not going to hunt. We are just going to the Frozen Sea. I will draw a map. We have nothing else to do. I just want to stay with you during this time. "
"No hunting!" Sicca didn't want to do it. The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was fast, but it consumed magic cores. A round trip cost a lot. If they didn't hunt, it would be a big loss.
"I mean, I won't do anything, and the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship won't enter dangerous areas. We … Just treat it as a vacation."
"Salin, are you worried about me?" Sicca touched his belly and asked Salin.
"Yes, isn't it stupid to put you in danger for a little profit?"
"Ah …" Sicca let out a long sigh. He didn't know if it was because of the loss of income, or because he regretted affecting Salin's action.
"Sicca, there is nothing wrong with this. If you want something, you must pay the same price. For you and our children, I can give up anything. "
Salin's words reached Shika's ears. His heart was filled with joy, but his eyes were sour. Salin wasn't lying to her. A mage's words only expressed the truth.
"This is a really expensive vacation!" Sicca could only sigh. At first, she didn't even have the money to buy a bottle of high-grade holy water. Now, for her sake, Salin was willing to pay a lot of magic cores to take her to the deep sea thousands of miles away.
"Hey, fortunately, I am the king. This time, the expenses are paid from the national treasury." Salin said with a smile.
