Nania blushed. "I was too nervous. Actually, I can already cast Firebird at 10 vibrations. Salin knows that."
Fourteen pairs of eyes looked at Salin, and Nania's face turned even redder.
Salin shrugged. "Actually, if mages want to work together for a long time, they have to consider the development of their companions. Firebird might be a bit too much for Nania, but after five months, she'll definitely be able to reach 8 vibrations. Even if she's nervous then, she won't make such a mistake. "
Juan pondered for a moment and nodded. "Salin is right. The cooperation training between comrades also needs to take into consideration their own development. I'm too inflexible. "
Salin wasn't surprised. Those that Fayern thought highly of all had good poise. Unfortunately, this poise was useless against him. To him, the most important thing was to improve his strength as soon as possible, return to Scotia, and take revenge for the destruction of his family's tomb.
The Metatlin Family's tomb had actually been destroyed long ago, but Salin's parents were buried there. No matter how Salin told himself that the difference in strength was too great, he had to endure if he wanted revenge. But in his heart, the fire was only temporarily suppressed. It couldn't be extinguished.
Killing Count Alphonso was easy. Even though Alphonso was already a Sword Saint, as long as he was at his teacher's level, it wouldn't be hard to defeat him. A mage's strength wasn't something a swordsman could compare to. The only problem was the Magic Tower in Yaoyang City. The difference between a sixth-rank mage and a fifth-rank mage wasn't too big, but a mage with a Magic Tower would be dozens of times stronger.
His teacher had only escaped alive, and hadn't killed that sixth-rank mage. If he wanted revenge, other than becoming a sixth-rank mage, he also needed powerful magic tools. For example, the golden magic books. Unfortunately, the three sets of magic books he'd obtained were all blank. If there were spells stored in them, he would be much more confident.
Juan couldn't possibly know what Salin was thinking. Taking advantage of the time when everyone had used up all their magic strings, they continued to discuss magic.
In the next four months, not only did Fayern not show up, even Princess Rex disappeared. The residence suddenly became much quieter. Salin asked around and found out that Princess Rex had led the battle mages to the army camp.
Salin vaguely felt that something was wrong. Those Mages might not be able to fight alone, but if they worked together with Swordsmen, they would be very powerful. Princess Rex didn't look like she was going to the imperial capital to receive a reward. Instead, she looked like she was going to war. But Salin couldn't figure it out. Rex was the Emperor's daughter. Who would have the guts to touch her?
Emperor Qin Yin was in charge of hundreds of millions of people. He had countless Spellcasters and millions of elite soldiers. Even the Church could not do anything to him. Could it be an internal conflict within the Emperor's family? The problem was, if the princess really needed help, why would she look for him? 'Could it be that the Magic Shooter really took a fancy to me?'
The few Mages living together wouldn't know any inside information, or else Princess Rex wouldn't have kept it a secret.
Who cares? The princess still has some experts by her side, and there's also Fei Lun. It won't be his turn to make a move. Moreover, Princess Rex was a 5th-tier magic caster herself. She didn't need the protection of a 2nd-tier magic caster.
Salin comforted himself. "Just take it as a free trip."
After a few more days, the princess returned to the mansion and everyone started to get busy. In the past, the people in Fayern's courtyard didn't have any missions, and everything they did was up to their liking. This time, all the Spellcasters were mobilized to create large amounts of Restoration Water and magic potions. These two things had a time limit. They would be useless once they expired.
They were about to leave the next day when Fayern appeared. The eight Spellcasters in the courtyard were going to the capital, and Salin was no exception. A total of 12 people arrived at the military camp outside the city overnight. Salin saw the military camp and exclaimed in his heart that he had been tricked.
It seemed like the journey wouldn't be peaceful. Otherwise, Princess Rex wouldn't be so well-prepared. Other than the people following Fayern, Princess Rex also mobilized a hundred Battle Spellcasters and a thousand swordsmen.
It didn't seem like a lot, but for a princess, it wouldn't be a problem even if she brought an army of ten thousand around. But this was going to the capital. Did every swordsman have to be given more than two warhorses?
All the swordsmen wore armor and welcomed Princess Rex in front of the camp. Princess Rex didn't wear a Spellcaster robe, but a noble's formal attire. She stood on a chariot and entered the military camp.
No matter how stupid Salin was, he knew what this meant. This ceremony was a tradition in the Qinyin Empire. Only nobles would ride chariots and sleep in the military camp at night if they were going to war.
Although Princess Rex wasn't going to war with anyone, her attitude was telling the swordsman camp, "This time, I need you to fight for me."
The Spellcasters dispersed and stationed themselves in the swordsman camp. After a few months of training, they were already familiar with the environment of the military camp. Fayern, however, brought Salin and the others to the princess's tent.
Princess Rex's tent looked no different from other tents. It was also made of black cowhide with patterns on it. The space inside was much larger. Other than the four swordsmen, there were also four maids serving Princess Rex.
Salin's standards were much higher now. He could tell that the four maids were also swordsmen. Other than these eight people, there were probably other masters protecting the princess in secret. Thinking of those dangerous people, Salin's limbs felt a little uneasy.
The military camp never prepared chairs. Fortunately, the Spellcasters were used to sitting on the ground. Some soldiers brought in a few tables and put them together. Princess Rex asked everyone to sit down. Someone brought in snacks as a bedtime meal.
"It's a month's journey to the capital. Everyone will have to work hard during this time." Princess Rex raised her ale to greet everyone.
Although Salin had too many questions in his mind, he didn't ask. But Princess Rex said, "Bringing so many swordsmen is naturally because there might be trouble along the way. All of you are training behind closed doors. You don't know that black magicians have already spread to the Jialou Dukedom. There are too many routes from Jialou Dukedom to Qinyin. There are two waterways that overlap with our route. Everyone, be careful. It's best to stay by my side. All food and drink must be tested with magic before being eaten. "
Salin frowned and asked, "Princess, why didn't the army at the border of Phoenix cross the border to eliminate them? I remember there was this law when the empire was first established. If black magicians appear, Guderian City has the right to send troops directly. "
Salin thought of the elites of the Qinyin Empire that he saw in Guderian City. He didn't quite understand. As long as that army entered Phoenix, with the cooperation of the Grand Duke of Phoenix, the revived black magicians would definitely not be a match for them.
"The Grand Duke of Phoenix is dead. His son didn't live up to expectations. He put aside the affairs of the dukedom and went directly to Holy Rock City to ask for his father's recognition. In the end, they surrounded him from three sides, and the few most important black magicians escaped. My father worked for more than ten years to lure those guys out, but he ruined it. I think he's going to be unlucky this time. "
Princess Rex's face was filled with anger. Salin was the first to understand why she was angry. Not only were black magicians a threat to the royal family, but most importantly, black magicians used human blood as a sacrifice. The first to be unlucky weren't the nobles, but the commoners. The situation in Phoenix was deteriorating. Millions of people were facing danger.
Commoners were the foundation of a country. It didn't matter if one or two died, but if tens of thousands died, the foundation of the country would be shaken.
Princess Rex took a deep breath, rubbed her temples, and said, "Let's not talk about this. It's only half a month, and it's a little dangerous. The main thing is that I'm afraid the soldiers will be poisoned, so I have to bring so many magicians. "I'm not afraid of a head-on battle. "It's not a big deal to bring you guys to the capital this time. I'm operating in Gushui Prefecture and nurturing a large number of magicians. My father will reward me. "You guys are the representatives of the magicians. There will definitely be many benefits."
"Princess, what are the benefits?" a female magician asked happily. These life magicians were the closest to Princess Rex, and they didn't pay much attention to etiquette when they spoke. At most, they would give a magician salute.
"It's still magic cores, gems, and the like. There might be magical equipment, but don't count on Holy equipment. Your levels are still low. My father will reward you with some higher-level equipment at most."
Although Princess Rex said so, everyone felt very happy. The Qinyin royal family was a magician family, and at the same time, they had a powerful martial arts heritage. It was said that the magical equipment in the palace's warehouse was innumerable, and every piece was of high quality.
In order to obtain equipment, ordinary magicians had to join mercenary groups to earn money. In the palace's warehouse, however, the high-level equipment was covered in dust, and no one had asked for it for decades.
It wasn't that the equipment was bad, but that the royal family had accumulated it for too long. The Four Great Empires had been established for more than 700 years, and they had lived in peace for more than 400 years. With so many years of accumulation, even an ordinary family would have a lot of inventory.
Princess Rex cautiously reminded them of some important matters during the march, and reminded them not to practice like they did at home. Every time they practiced magic, they had to leave at least half of their magic strings behind. Magic scrolls had to be placed at a place where they could access them at any time. Don't move alone, and don't be too far away from the few swordsmen at the door.
Salin was bored after hearing this. These were all in books, and there were many records in the magic notes. Princess Rex, however, wanted to use magic to imprint these things into the minds of Salin and the others.
But Salin understood. After all, apart from himself, the others had probably lived in the princess' residence all their lives and didn't have such experience. Even if they had read about it in books, they wouldn't be able to understand it without going through life and death trials.
Seeing Fayern leave the princess' tent, Salin found an excuse to sneak out too. In a large tent, Fayern was already gone. Salin didn't dare to go far. It wasn't easy to break the army's rules, and he couldn't fly, so he could only walk around nearby.
Under the moonlight, the military camp was solemn. In the distance, there were soldiers on night watch and patrolling. They held long swords and spears in their hands, and there was an indescribable murderous aura. These were all battle-hardened soldiers from Kushui Commandery.
Salin sighed in his heart. If he hadn't chosen magic back then, and had accepted his teacher's gold coin to learn swordsmanship, the best outcome now would probably be the same as these soldiers.
