[Today is the fourth update, the first update]
The ancient warship slowly sailed into the area where the ice floes were denser. The surface of the three-hundred-meter-wide warship was covered with a magic shield several meters thick. A pure water elemental shield flowed on the surface of the huge ancient warship. It would only be depleted when it hit the ice floes.
When the ice floes collided with the magic shield of the ancient warship, the smaller pieces slid to the side, while the larger ones were directly smashed.
The mechanical undead took the risk of opening another twelve magic furnaces and activating the warship's defensive facilities. The most basic defensive facilities were completely flawless.
Neris hid in the cabin, admiring the magic cores she had hunted one by one. In the past, she and Salin didn't even dare to think about it. A dozen huge level-9 magic beasts were slaughtered just like that. Although these magic beasts had low intelligence, their attack power was undeniable.
Eleven polar bears provided forty-four huge level-9 magic cores. The magic cores of these polar bears were completely different from those of the magic beasts on the road. They were unimaginably huge, because in a place like the Frozen Sea, continuous combat power was very important. Even level-9 magic beasts were not safe. Some of the mid-level magic beasts in the sea easily numbered in the tens of thousands, and they attacked crazily. They also had some attributes or skills that could break through magic defense.
Neris put away the twelve magic cores of the White Bear King and only cut the magic cores of ordinary polar bears. Level-9 magic cores were very hard and harder to deal with than most magic metals. Neris could only use her teeth to slowly repair them.
The teeth of an imp like Lolo-Galo were even more terrifying than those of a dragon. This was the only powerful weapon Lolo-Galo had before it matured. If a dragon could easily bite through metal, then Lolo-Galo could definitely bite through crystallized metal.
Neris usually used Ultimate Transformation to hide her imp form. However, Ultimate Transformation did not affect any of her abilities. She could open her mouth to a terrifying extent, and her sharp teeth could bite through the throat of any large creature.
Using her teeth to cut the magic cores was something Neris was used to doing. The magic cores fished out from sunken ships at the bottom of the sea had never been cut. Ancient humans usually dealt with the Magic Cores when they were in use. After all, the Ancient Magic Arrays and equipment were so complicated that even Magicians found them a headache. Thus, Ancient Magicians usually left the Magic Cores in their original state.
The Mages were in their respective cabins, carefully helping the Wing Skeleton control the defense of the dragon skeleton warship. Salin had brought the Mages out to sea this time to familiarize them with how to use the warship in battle.
On the other hand, Salin was communicating with the Water Puppet in the cockpit of the Dragon Skeleton Warship.
"Lawson, you did well this time. If you use Crystal Finger again, your body will suffer irreversible damage. At that time, you might lose a part of your consciousness."
"But my Lord, Neris …"
"You have inherited my skills, so you are a mage. The only thing a mage can believe in is their own magic. You should be like me, good at calculation. Against an undefeatable enemy, don't try to show your personality. Lawson, you're different from me. Although you can resurrect without limit, every time you resurrect, you'll lose something important compared to the last time. This is similar to the death of us humans, it's irreversible. "
"Lose something important?"
"Yes, you were like another me in the past. But now, you retreat because you are weak. You are tough because you are not confident."
"I have lost … true courage!"
"Yes, facing strong enemies time and time again, you have to win at the cost of death. You will lose courage and believe in fate. That is what astrologers believe in. Lawson, you are a mage, you must believe in yourself. "
"My Lord, you have to let me think about it." The Water Golem still couldn't forget Nelis's words. Moreover, when Salin was fighting, he also had an indomitable momentum. He was very envious and hoped that he could become such a 'person'.
"Then think about it carefully. This is the space ring I got from my teacher. It's not a high level, but it is enough for you. This mage robe, I'll give it to you too. This is a magic staff." Salin took out pieces of equipment and placed them in the hands of the Water Puppet. "In the future, I will rarely put you in God's Union. You … since you like it, then treat yourself as a human. Humans are always afraid of death. "
Watching Salin leave, the Water Puppet muttered to itself, "Humans … are always afraid of death? Nicholas, you must be afraid of death too, right? "
Nicholas was watching the Winged Skeleton maneuver the Dragonskeletal Warship to avoid the floating ice. Hearing the Water Puppet's question, Nicholas replied, "Of course I am afraid of death, except when protecting my Lord."
"Won't you be afraid if you protect my Lord?"
"No, I am still afraid. However, my future is already tied to my Lord. If my Lord dies, then my future will also cease to exist. If that is the case, I might as well die, "Nicholas replied calmly.
The Winged Skeleton's gaze passed through the crystal window and looked into the distance. The control of the warship could finally be mostly handed over to the mages. Listening to the conversation between the Water Puppet and Nicholas, the corner of its mouth opened into a terrifying smile.
Whether what Nicholas said was true or not, it was still better than Neris. At least it knew how to help its master shape the Water Puppet's character. The Water Puppet's existence was Salin's battle weapon, not a person. As for the mages' research interests and advancement needs, in the Winged Skeleton's opinion, it was far less meaningful than a stable puppet.
The Water Puppet could replace Salin in casting Crystal Finger. This was Salin's strongest attack besides the badge. If the Water Puppet was unwilling to sacrifice itself in the future, then when Salin personally cast Crystal Finger, the number of times he could release this strange magic would probably be less than half of the Water Puppet's, and its power would also be reduced.
After all, Salin was made of flesh and blood. The Left Hand of God's recovery was much slower than the Water Puppet's.
In reality, Nicholas used another method to make the Water Puppet loyal to Salin. Although there was almost no possibility of the Water Puppet betraying him, Salin's Divine Fusion could take him back at any time. But for Salin, giving up the battle was already a huge loss for him.
The Winged Skeleton did not understand why Salin let the Water Puppet learn fear.
"Lord?" The Winged Skeleton could not help but call out in Salin's mind.
"Bing?" Salin was a little surprised. Ever since the Winged Skeleton advanced, it did not make any sound in his mind.
"Why? Rosen's not afraid of death is the most beneficial to you. "
"Bing, only when you are afraid of losing will you know how to cherish. Life should not be just about sacrifice. I am not a god, I do not need believers. "Salin's words were a little jumpy. The Winged Skeleton understood and then fell silent.
He only said in his heart, Master, I am not afraid of death, but I also know how to cherish.
Salin walked towards Nelis's cabin, followed by a few mechanical undead clones. These clones were like the mechanical undead, and Salin could control them at will. With just a thought, he could immediately decide the life and death of these clones.
"Don't follow me. Go and help the Winged Skeleton." Salin did not turn back and stopped the protection of the mechanical undead clones. On the dragon skeleton warship, no matter where he was, he was under the protection of the Winged Skeleton. The whole warship was equivalent to an extension of the Winged Skeleton's body. If they still met with an accident on the warship, it could only mean that the enemy's combat power exceeded the combined power of him and the Winged Skeleton.
On the ancient warship three miles away, the mechanical undead cursed in its heart. He was cursing the God of Light. He realized that when he was angry, if he thought of Salin, even if he cursed in his heart, he would be punished. However, he could vent his anger on others.
In the depths of the mechanical undead's soul fire, the broken jade seemed to be monitoring his actions at all times. However, the mechanical undead equated Salin with the God of Light. When cursing the God of Light, it resolutely did not think of Salin's name. This way, it could escape punishment. Or rather, Salin was willing to listen to it curse the God of Light.
"God of Light, you piece of sh * t, why don't you let me spy on Nelis? That woman, that demon! If there is a chance, I will kill all your Mages and rape her! Damn gods, demons, bastards, dirty pigs, rusty parts … "
The mechanical undead clones could not enter Nelis's room, so they could only retreat. Under the command of the mechanical undead, they had always wanted to spy on the secrets of the people around Salin, especially Nelis and the Winged Skeleton. However, on the dragon skeleton warship, everything was under the control of the Winged Skeleton. The mechanical undead clones could not find any chance to obtain secrets.
The mechanical undead was unwilling to be enslaved by Salin, but the law of eternal control was too much beyond its level. Even if it became a level-10, level-11, or even level-12 undead, it could not get rid of Salin's control. Therefore, the mechanical undead consciously began to care about everything around Salin, trying to find a way to remove the control. What it did was the same as what the Three Lords did. Even though it knew that the hope was slim, it would still use its long life to try.
"Nelis." Salin walked into Nelis's cabin and cast a soundproof enchantment to isolate the sound from the outside world. Even if he did not do so, the Winged Skeleton would help him deal with it.
"Master?" Nelis put down the huge magic core in her hand and stopped chewing. Her hands and feet were nimble. She picked up the magic core fragments, stood up, and stood obediently in front of Salin.
"I'll forget about Lawson this time. Don't let it happen again. I need to see what it's like when a soul is born. The secret of the soul is very important to my advancement. I must become a level-10 mage in order to survive and fulfill … my dream. " The contract between Salin and the Goddess Myers was not told to Nelis. He could not even reveal a trace of information. Nelis only guessed that Salin had a huge problem, and she could not ask about it yet.
"Alright, Master." Nelis gave Salin a childish smile. She knew that Salin did not intend to punish her at all. If it were other demons, they might take an inch and try to control Salin's feelings, but Nelis would not.
