[Second update, one more update.]
Salin was very regretful. Without the confinement of starlight, his mental power would not last so long in the necklace, and he would not be able to study the lightning mageweath without interruption. If he had known, he would have used words to provoke this old man!
Salin's thoughts were somewhat similar to Nelis's. No matter how strong the old man was, he did not know what Salin was thinking, so he could not be angry. Instead, he smiled at Salin. "You're a Mage, and you pay attention to the principle of equivalent exchange, right?"
"Yes, if one wants something, one must pay the same price. Sir, it's the same principle if you want me to do something for you. Just now, you imprisoned me for 1,800 years. Don't forget that. "
Salin's words were sharp, and the old man could not refute. He only said, "Since you agree to an equivalent exchange, then tell me what you want."
"I don't want anything. If you want to keep me here, I'll continue to train here." Salin was very stubborn. He could see that all the souls in the Abyss King's City wanted to leave all the time. But these souls were all trapped in the Abyss King's City. Without help from outsiders, they could only be transformed into soul energy and dissipate in this plane.
Perhaps the old man in front of him could live longer, but it made no difference.
The old man had a headache. He could kill a little Mage like Salin at any time, but the problem was that under the guidance of astrology, he saw that his fate was entrusted to this weak king in front of him.
"Little Mage, we all have needs for each other. What do you think?"
"That's more like it. But where did you take my two subordinates?" Salin saw that the old man was no longer arrogant, so his tone softened.
"They're not humans. I'm afraid of hurting them if they enter here."
"Can't they not be humans …"
"I mean my room. They're on one of the floors below. They can leave with you, "the old man explained patiently. It was fine as long as Salin exchanged benefits with him. Salin's level was very low anyway, so it was easy for him to set any trap. What he was most afraid of was that Salin was determined to stay here, although the old man thought that was impossible.
The problem was that Salin was his only hope.
"You want me to learn astrology and save you from this doll shell?" Salin asked directly. Since the old man had already laid his cards on the table, there was no point in playing a verbal trap.
"That's right. Sometimes, people like magicians," the old man replied with a smile.
"What can you give me?"
"I'll give you whatever you want."
"I want this Astrology Tower."
"If you can let me leave the body of a puppet, this Divination Tower is yours."
"What level were you when you were alive?"
"Level 18."
"What level do I have to reach to save you?"
"At least level 16."
"I'm only Level Eight now. Can you afford to wait?"
"I have a lot more time than those guys in the graveyard. Even though this puppet body is very annoying, it can slow down the dissipation of my soul. In the Astrology Tower, my memories can be preserved until the day my soul dissipates, and I won't become a blank soul. "
"What if I die outside?"
"This is related to luck. You learned astrology, so you can avoid danger. You have the equipment made by the Grandmaster, and you have a large number of elemental creatures as your subordinates. When you return to the mainland, there won't be many who can harm you. With astrology and the power of magic, if you still can't live well, I can only blame it on my bad luck. "
"That simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple."
"Do we need to sign a contract?"
"Of course," the old man replied with a smile.
"But I have some conditions that are not in the contract. They are the price for imprisoning me for 1,800 years." Salin raised an additional condition. He was afraid that the old man would set a trap for him like the Grandmaster. He wanted to raise the price of 1,800 years separately, and it had nothing to do with saving the soul of this astrologer.
"You need a separate contract?"
"Yes, I can rest assured this way."
"It seems that the Grandmaster's attitude towards you isn't very friendly!"
"I'm a Level Eight magician. What right do I have to ask you to be friendly with me?" Salin asked.
"Alright, what can I help you with?" The old man did not want to dwell on this issue. Since Salin agreed to sign a contract with him, the next step would be easy.
"I need a set of magic equipment that only I can control."
"That's it?" The old man was a little surprised. To him, 1,800 years of imprisonment was cruel enough for a Level Eight magician. Salin's request did not seem to be an equivalent exchange!
"That's it? Do you think I'm an insatiable person?"
"No, of course you're not." The old man hurriedly went along with Salin's words. If Salin's request was unacceptable, then the following transaction would be difficult.
Salin thought, of course I'm not an insatiable person. I'll deal with my equipment first. After I leave, I don't believe you can do anything to me. If my request was too high, then it would be suspicious.
"Then let's begin." Salin took out the Demonic God Set made for him by the Grandmaster, and a pair of gloves that did not seem to have any problems. These gloves were not made on the spot by the Grandmaster. Salin was afraid that they were made by a higher-level magician. He definitely could not see the hidden dangers within.
The old man took a look at Salin's set and said, "The Grandmaster is still so stingy. But how did you erase the magic formation inside?"
Salin's heart relaxed. He had used the Star Condensation Needle to erase the Grandmaster's magic trap and indeed did not leave any traces. The old man also could not tell that he used an Astrologer's equipment. Then wasn't this Star Condensation Needle of a very high level?
"You can't afford the price of this secret." Salin pretended to be mysterious. In reality, he was afraid of losing the Star Condensation Needle. The Star Condensation Needle had its own Astrologer inheritance. Salin had never thought of learning astrology from the old man. Fate had to be in his own hands. He could learn by himself, but he definitely would not let the old man become half a teacher to him.
Once that happened, the equivalent exchange would be endless and would continue forever.
The old man was just curious. Seeing that Salin was unwilling to tell him, he gave up. He pointed at the Demonic God Set that Joey had made and said, "I'm not a magician. Although I can imitate magician's equipment, it might not be as good as the ones made by a Grandmaster. Take off this set of equipment of yours. I'll fuse it into a Grandmaster's equipment for you."
"What about the level?" Salin was somewhat unwilling. Although the equipment made by a Grandmaster was troublesome, it was of a very high level. As for Joey's equipment, he estimated that it could only be upgraded to level-11.
"Hehe, do you think the equipment made by a Grandmaster is of a very high level? Even an Astrologer like me can imitate things that are at most level-12. "
Salin was greatly discouraged when he heard that. However, the old man said, "Although the level of your own equipment is very low, the person who made it for you has a magic inheritance that is not inferior to a Grandmaster's. It's just that his level is not high enough. When you advance in the future, you can totally refine this set of equipment again, and it will not affect the use of the equipment."
"That's all I can do." Salin took off the Demonic God Set in disappointment and handed it to the old man. The old man directly threw the two sets of equipment into the starlight on the wall and then fell silent. Salin did not dare to interrupt him and waited patiently at the side.
After about 15 minutes, the old man reached out and grabbed the new Demonic God Set from the wall. He handed it to Salin and said, "The person who made this set for you was not bad. He did not leave any trouble. I've fused the two pieces of equipment, and the impurities have already been eliminated by the power of the stars. You can use this set until level-16. "
"Thank you. Is there a problem with this glove?"
The old man glanced at Salin's glove and seemed uncertain. He could only throw the glove into the starlight on the wall. This time, after a full half an hour, the old man took out the glove and said to Salin, "Although there's no problem, this glove is for a Warrior …"
Of course, Salin would not say that he had a unique technique that needed to prevent the backlash of skills. He did not need to explain anything to the old man. He hurriedly took back the glove and handed over the magic staff.
The old man did not mind. A magic staff was very easy to check, and this thing did not need to be repaired. He even quickly stored three spells in it for Salin.
Salin was careful. He still did not take out the Drum of Fear and Broken Jade, not to mention his two Divine Fusion Spells. He thought for a while and still let the old man check his magic books. He handed the entire set to the old man. The old man did not take it this time. He said directly, "There won't be any traps in the magic books. Use them without worry."
"Sir, I still have a Magic Tower. It can fly …" Salin asked tentatively.
The old man frowned, but did not seem to be in a difficult position. He only said, "Wait a minute. How big is your Magic Tower?"
"Twenty-eight floors. Each floor is nine meters tall."
The old man silently used his finger to write a string of words in the air that Salin could not understand. As soon as the words were written, starlight was immediately drawn in and expanded, forming an independent space in the room.
The old man sighed and said, "Sigh, the feeling of not having a body is terrible. It didn't have to be so troublesome. Little Wizard, take out your Magic Tower. "
Salin raised his head. There was already a starry sky above his head.
He hurriedly took out a dimensional stone from his magic god ring and carefully took out the Magic Tower. The tall Magic Tower stood in front of him. The old man took out a crystal clear needle and threw it out.
Salin's face tightened. He did his best not to show an expression of surprise. Salin recognized the thin needle that the old man had thrown out. It was the Star Condensing Needle. However, this Star Condensing Needle did not seem to be of a higher level than his own. Salin could not be sure because he did not hold it in his hands to observe it. At least after the old man's Star Condensing Needle entered the Magic Tower, it was very slow in cleaning and remodeling the inside. It was not as clean and efficient as his Star Condensing Needle.
Could it be that the Star Condensing Needle that he had snatched from a puppet was better than the one in the hands of a level-18 astrologer? This matter felt ridiculous no matter how he thought about it. If that was really the case, could it be that his luck was great?
