Once again, I'm not planning to finish the book quickly. This book will definitely last until June. With the current update speed, can you all calculate how many words are left?
When Salin's fleet passed through the red ocean, a few small warships were desperately searching for a direction near the unnamed island. These warships didn't have any emblems or flags. Only Alchemy City's warships would have such emblems.
After circling for three days, these warships finally left the unnamed island and headed north. The Magic Shooters on the warships used magic to recover the images of everything that had passed by here a few days ago. Only then did they find Salin's fleet.
However, at this time, the mysterious ocean current disappeared. The Alchemy City's warships rushed into the red ocean. A few hours later, they were all silent. The twelve Magic Shooters flew up from the warships. Because they couldn't tell the direction, they flew for a few days and fell into the sea in exhaustion.
Luckily, they didn't fall into the red ocean. There were no magic beasts near the unnamed island, only some small fish and harmless sea creatures. The Magic Shooters had strong bodies. Being from Alchemy City, they had some understanding of the ocean currents. They swam their way to the unnamed island.
The metal content in the soil on the unnamed island was frighteningly high. There wouldn't be any plants. The twelve Magic Shooters were stranded on the island and could only survive on the food stored in their spatial equipment.
These Magic Shooters had never been so frustrated before. None of the Archmages on the warships escaped. Even the Black Iron Sword Saints and Silver Sword Saints were swallowed by the red ocean. The Metatlin City's warships couldn't have sunk. The Metatlin people must have found a way to pass through the red ocean.
Within a thousand miles of the unnamed island, the magic compass didn't work. They couldn't see the true location of the stars. The Magic Shooters' directional spells were also useless. They didn't know how to leave.
When they came, they followed the Metatlin City's warships. But now, the Magic Shooters couldn't even wait for rescue. No matter how many warships Alchemy City sent, it would be difficult to find this unnamed island. Even if they came, they might not be able to leave.
At the beginning of January, Salin's fleet arrived at the periphery of the Frozen Sea. Icebergs started appearing on the surface. These icebergs were of different sizes. The bigger ones were even bigger than the Barren Ancient warships while the smaller ones were only dozens of meters wide.
All of Salin's fleet were magic warships, so they could avoid the icebergs. Occasionally, they would collide with the icebergs, but it was only a slight friction. At this time, the speed of the warships had decreased to ten kilometers. If they were too fast and collided with the icebergs, the ones that would sink would be the magic warships.
At the periphery of the Frozen Sea, there were more and more powerful demonic beasts. The White Bone Warship stayed behind to hunt small demonic beasts like the red krill. The Antiquity Battleship, the Dragon Skeleton Battleship, and the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship began to advance towards the Frozen Sea.
Salin began to provide more level-nine magic cores to the dragon skeleton warship so that it could activate some defensive magic furnaces. If he couldn't find the graveyard of the Horned White Whale this time, or if he couldn't find more Class 9 Monster Cores, then Salin's losses would be too great.
Salin still did not board the Ancient Desolate Battleship. He let the mechanical undead control the huge battleship and follow behind the Dragon Skeleton Battleship. Without Salin's orders, the Desolate Warship was only operating its main Mana Furnace.
Salin stood in the command cabin of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship and gazed out a hundred miles through the crystal window. A hundred miles away, there were still icebergs floating in the water. There was no sign of the legendary Frozen Sea.
The surface of the Frozen Sea was completely covered in ice. This ice had existed for who knew how many eras. The deeper one went, the harder it became. It was almost impossible to break through the ice.
Therefore, the Horned White Whale would only enter the Frozen Sea when it was about to die. Even the strongest Horned White Whale would not be able to break through the ice to breathe.
Forty miles ahead, dozens of demonic beasts were frolicking on a huge floating ice block. These demonic beasts were only about ten meters in size. Their bodies were covered in long white fur. They looked like Earth Bears, but their color was pure white.
Earth Bears were not so huge, unless they were in a berserk state. One of these white demonic beasts was at the edge of the ice block. It suddenly stretched out its huge paw and hit the surface of the water.
Blue light shone. Salin saw this demonic beast release an attack equivalent to a level-eight spell. It killed a demonic beast underwater with a single hit. Then, a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the water and sucked the demonic beast underwater up to the surface of the ice.
This white demonic beast walked over and tore open the stomach of the underwater demonic beast. It started eating its innards. The surrounding white demonic beasts also stopped frolicking and surrounded it. This white demonic beast roared twice and no longer threatened its companions. It let its companions come up and share the food. However, it was one step ahead. It broke open the brain of the underwater demonic beast and ate its magic core.
A group of level-nine demonic beasts! They still had intelligence. The attacks of level-nine demonic beasts without intelligence were all level-nine spells. However, this white demonic beast released a level-eight spell according to the level of its prey.
Salin released the water puppet. After a few days, the water puppet had recovered. Salin took off Rafael's crystal ring and put it on the water puppet.
The water puppet suddenly said, "Your Highness, I want to give myself a name."
"Okay!" Salin was a little surprised. After the water puppet was seriously injured, it had not recovered its intelligence. Now that it suddenly wanted to give itself a name, it meant that the water puppet had developed a sense of self again. Perhaps, it would have a soul in the future.
"I want to be called Lawson. Lawson? Metatlin. Can you … let me have this surname? "
"You have to tell me, why?"
"I don't want to be a puppet, but I don't want to leave you even more. I hope you will allow me to use your surname. I will always be loyal to this surname, until … until my consciousness disappears again, "the water puppet replied calmly.
Neris, who was beside him, rarely did not mock him. Instead, she looked at the water puppet with great interest.
This puppet had developed a sense of self, which was a very magical thing. Salin's other Divine Fusion was a magic water stream that could cut almost any substance, as long as it had enough time. That water stream was also infused with the life force of Myers. Would it also develop a sense of self?
Salin's heart, however, was even more complicated. It turned out that the water puppet knew that after a fierce battle, if he suffered unbearable damage, his consciousness would disappear, which was equivalent to the death of a human.
"Okay, Lawson. You can use the surname Metatlin, but … your appearance needs to be changed. "
"Of course, Your Highness. What do you want me to look like?" the water puppet Lawson asked.
"Up to you, as long as you like it."
The water puppet revealed a relaxed smile, and its face began to gradually change. Finally, it became the appearance of a young mage with delicate features. His appearance was very different from Salin's, but also very similar. Those who did not know would definitely think that he was Salin's biological brother.
"Your Highness, I know that as a mage, there is a limit to the number of follower contracts that I can sign. Even so, I still hope to become your follower. Or, please allow me to call you Lord."
Salin glanced at the crystal ring on the water puppet's hand and nodded. After signing the contract, no matter how heavily injured the water puppet was, as long as it did not completely disappear, it would always retain a trace of its original memory. Perhaps, this was what the water puppet was looking forward to. It did not want to collapse again and again, then forget the past and become another puppet.
"Thank you, Lord." As the water puppet spoke, it used its finger to write magic characters in between its eyebrows. Then, it came in front of Salin. Salin stretched out his left hand and directly forced out a bit of blood from his fingertip. This blood also contained the life force of Myers. It was a crisp green color, and it fused into the water puppet's eyebrows.
Salin immediately felt that the spiritual connection between him and the water puppet was somewhat weakened. However, the water puppet also no longer absorbed his spiritual power. Instead, it began to return it to him.
Before the contract was signed, the water puppet's existence was maintained by the magic patterns on its forehead and Salin's spiritual power. But now, the water puppet was an independent puppet, even if it did not want to always have such an identity.
"Lawson …" Salin untied the gourd at his waist and wanted to give it to the water puppet.
"No, Lord, I just hope so. If one day, I forget everything now, please tell me that my name is Lawson? Metatlin. "
After saying that, the water puppet waved its hand and left the command cabin with a dozen Demons and Undead.
After leaving the cabin, the water puppet's expression was somewhat sad. It was just a puppet. Last time, it had used up too much spiritual power, so its memory was a little fuzzy. It seemed that it had forgotten even more things before, and could not remember them. This feeling was really terrible. Its previous self was disappearing bit by bit. Even if it used magic to remember it, it could not feel that it had anything to do with it.
"Master, this water puppet won't betray you, right?" Nelis waited until the water puppet got off the dragon skeleton warship and jumped onto the floating ice before asking Salin.
"Will you betray me?" Salin glared at Nelis. Nelis's bad habit always acted up from time to time. She was the one who doubted everything around Salin.
"Of course not. You are the master."
"I created Lawson, so I am his father."
"If you die, he can pretend to be you and become king. The relationship between father and son in the royal family is already very clear in human dramas." Nelis used the rhythm of a chant to express her emotions.
"If I die, you will be free. Isn't this even more tempting than becoming king?"
Nelis's nose twitched. Looking at the embarrassed Tamuenmu at the side, she suddenly scolded, "What are you still doing here? Go help Lawson hunt. You are a level-7 Magic Shooter. Can't you handle a few level-9 magic beasts? "
If not for this guy, she could have acted like a spoiled child in front of Sala. The annoying Mage Yun Liu was really blind. What was he watching from the side!
"Nelis, you go too. There are so many level-9 magic beasts. Lawson can't handle them alone." Salin did not give Nelis the chance to act spoiled and chased her off the dragon skeleton warship.
