Salin and Nania answered Fayern's courtyard, and the servant came to ask if they wanted dinner. Salin was not hungry, but thinking that Nelis had been starving for the past two days, he discussed with the servant and exchanged some roasted meat.
Salin did not think much of the food the mages prepared every day, but after Nania told him about it, he realized that the food was prepared by the servants. He just did not know what it was, and always thought it was normal.
Even the barbecued meat was processed with spices for several days, smeared with honey juice, refined oil, and roasted repeatedly for several hours before it was ready to be served.
Nelis ate happily. Although the taste of the roasted meat was not as good as fresh meat, it was better than the various dishes. She also knew that as a human, eating fresh meat every day was a little strange. She had to learn to behave like a human, so that the secret of her identity would not be discovered.
During this time, she also read books, and Salin also explained to her. Nelis finally knew that she had become very rare in this plane. If people found out that she was a demon, it was very likely that she would be captured and dealt with. Or used for magic experiments, or become a material for making equipment.
This fact made Nelis more well-behaved. Although the power of humans was not as scary as the legends said, at least she had seen a few strong people with her own eyes, and she could not beat them. For example, the guy in the white robe in the swamp, and Fayern. Even the princess she saw that day did not seem to be easy to eat. She probably could not eat it.
Seeing that Nelis had stopped, Salin heaved a sigh of relief. He came to Silva's room and knocked on the door.
Silva answered. Salin walked into the room and saw that Silva was holding her weapon, completely focused, as if she was practicing some secret method.
"How's the weapon?"
"Very good. Even if I don't have the Beast War Soul for now, it will not affect my training."
"That's good. I'll ask Fayern later. Your weapon should have some special properties. I can't calculate it. "
"No need, those properties are not important to me. As long as I communicate with the weapon again, I will create my own power." Silva answered seriously, her eyes showing the pride of the Caucasus.
The Caucasus rarely practiced sword energy. They only relied on fighting skills and natural strength to become strong warriors. Shika had also received the blessings of the High Priest and had mastered some of the power of nature. In front of her, there was a path of her own. She didn't try to grasp any of the attributes in the staff.
As long as he communicated with the weapon, the attribute would naturally appear. There was no need to try and control it. Every priest had their own secret technique that allowed them to wield power similar to that of the Goddess of Nature. Shika was the same. If she continued on this path, she would become a Battle Priestess.
If she learned Sword Qi or some other random magic, it would cause her to deviate from the right path.
"Is Wizard Salin there?" Someone called out from outside the yard. Salin left Shika's room and saw Lynch standing outside the yard. He didn't dare to enter again.
"You're looking for me?"
"The princess is looking for you. Come with me." Lynch looked a little unnatural. Salin smiled kindly, thinking to himself that this person's pursuit of power was not wrong in itself. At least he was better than Walnut and didn't have that kind of twisted jealousy towards her.
"Princess, why are you looking for me?"
"I don't know either." Lynch led Salin away from Faylen's yard. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was born in a poor family. After becoming a magic apprentice, he came to Bitter Water Prefecture and accepted the help of the princess' house. Otherwise, with his family's circumstances, he wouldn't have been able to become an official Magician. But only by becoming a member of the team of Magicians could he get more.
He didn't know why, but he had already been in the family for two years, and the princess still didn't want him to join the team of Magicians. This kind of life was really hard. Fortunately, he could see the princess often, which was a kind of comfort.
The two didn't have much to say. Salin was brought to that room again.
It was deep winter now. The water outside the window had already frozen. The window was still open, and the cold was blocked outside by magic.
Princess Rex was still sitting on the ground. On the table in front of her, there was only a simple tea set. When Salin entered, he still saw a back view.
"Sit down." Princess Rex pointed to the opposite side. Salin was nervous. He saw Princess Rex lower her head and pour dark green tea into the celadon tea set. Her neck was slightly bent, revealing a snow-white curve. Something seemed to touch his heart, and he was a little annoyed.
That curve was really beautiful, and a little hazy. He walked around the table and sat down. His heart was beating very fast. It felt like the first time he got a gold coin and held it tightly in his hand, afraid to lose it.
That's weird. Do I like the princess? Salin found it unbelievable. According to the books, that kind of thing would only happen after adulthood. He picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip.
Princess Rex carefully observed the young man in front of her. Salin wasn't tall, and he was about the same height as Rex. His hair was black, and his eyes were as blue as the cold lake water. This young man from a poor family was holding the teacup meticulously. His hands were steady, and he could release magic at any time.
Princess Rex watched patiently. She didn't find anything wrong with Salin's body. She was an Archmage, and she had high standards. Why did her teacher say that there was a hidden danger in his body?
"Salin, I'm going back to the capital in May. Come with me." Princess Rex thought for a long time and didn't ask Salin directly.
Salin hesitated. He really didn't want to go. What was so good about the capital? He could cultivate in peace in the princess' residence. No one would come and disturb him. According to his cultivation speed, he would become a Archmage very quickly. But he owed the princess a favor. Without her help, if Baron Cook went to the emperor and said a few bad things about him, he would have to escape to the Cloud Flow Empire.
It didn't feel good to be a stray dog. Salin had always kept this in mind.
"I know you don't want to, but if you trust me, go. This is my teacher's suggestion. Just take it as … you returning my favor. " Princess Rex also felt that it was strange. She was speaking as if she was the one begging Sarlin. But if Salin's teacher was really from Alchemy City, and he was a Level-5 Archmage, it would be very useful to her. If she used the favor this time and recommended Salin to Master Roy, Salin would owe her another favor.
Thinking of this, Princess Rex's eyes narrowed and she smiled secretly. After all, she wasn't an adult, and she still had the liveliness of a young girl. Thinking of this, she felt like she had pulled a prank successfully.
Salin felt even more strange. A Magic Shooter suggested that he go to the capital? He didn't understand, but Princess Rex had made it clear that he would return the favor if he went. As for the news about his hometown, he had already returned the favor with the green dragon magic core. A debt-free body is free. Thinking of this, Salin nodded. "I'll go."
Princess Rex was stunned. She didn't expect Salin to agree so easily. She had wanted to chat with Salin about magic, hoping to deduce who Salin's teacher was.
She casually poured another cup of tea for Salin. Salin's eyes were fixed on her fingers, unable to take his eyes off.
Salin saw that there was a dark gold ring on her fair finger. He didn't see this ring the last time he met her. What surprised Salin was that he didn't know what gem was embedded on the ring.
Salin had a deep understanding of gems. Many gems could not only be made into equipment, but could also be used as medicine. He had memorized almost all the characteristics of gems, but he had no impression of the gem on this ring. This gem was too perfect. It blended in with the dark gold base. The 24 diamond faces weren't cut, but formed naturally.
This gem was too perfect. Salin couldn't move his eyes away.
"Salin?"
"Oh!" Salin responded. Only then did he realize that he was rude. He just smiled awkwardly and sat down again.
Princess Rex found it interesting. Salin had never learned any noble etiquette, but he looked much calmer than the mages in the manor.
"I'm curious. What kind of person is your teacher?" Princess Rex had a general understanding of Salin's temper. This young man wasn't as simple as he looked. Asking directly was more effective than beating around the bush.
"Teacher?" When Salin heard Princess Rex's question, he immediately thought of the bright light he saw when he saw Jason in the dungeon. A simple illumination spell had brought Salin back to the human world from hell.
"Teacher is a kind person," Salin said seriously. An image flashed through his mind. Merchant Zhanbu, who framed him, had his head pierced by his teacher's Icicle Spell. Blood stained the spot. It seemed that because of this, the first level-one spell Salin learned was Icicle.
A kind person? Princess Rex didn't believe it. Salin's teacher dared to attack someone else's Magic Tower. How could such a person be kind? However, to be able to fight in the Magic Tower and escape unscathed, Salin's teacher probably had a silver magic book.
"Princess, what kind of person is your teacher?" Salin suddenly asked.
"He seems … like a kind person." Princess Rex understood what Salin meant after she finished speaking. No matter what the teacher did to others, he was like a parent to the students.
Princess Rex was silenced by Sarlin's words, and it was inappropriate for her to continue asking. She could only say, "This time, I will bring the Battle Mages to the capital. Although you don't have to contribute much, you still have to be prepared."
Battle mages? Salin didn't quite understand. If Princess Rex was worried about her own safety, what could a hundred low-level mages do? These mages might have no problem dealing with bandits or even regular armies, but against Magic Shooters, they were definitely useless. The number of Magic Shooters in the capital would probably be shocking.
"What should I prepare?" Salin asked.
Princess Rex didn't know how to answer. She didn't want to tell Salin that there was a serious problem with his body. Once Salin knew about this, it would be a huge obstacle to his magic training.
"Prepare for battle. Your two followers also need to have their equipment customized."
"Does this cost money?" Salin asked worriedly. Princess Rex laughed, and the shadow in her heart disappeared. She could tell that Salin didn't lack money. Asking for the price was just his instinctive reaction.
"Don't worry. Our Kushui Prefecture lacks land and water, but we don't lack money."
