The Metatlin Kingdom's fleet rushed to the Scochenya Sea day and night. The northeast of the Myers Continent protruded upward. From Metatlin, they had to take a detour for nearly ten thousand kilometers before they could enter Scochenya. However, the fleet's speed was average. After replacing the magic furnace, the wear and tear on the alchemy machinery became less. They almost didn't need to rest, and they could move continuously on the sea.
Salin and Rex split up. They only had one final goal: Iron Wall City.
Salin didn't have much time. He had to settle Ceylon City as soon as possible, then rush to the sea and meet up with the fleet. It was too difficult to attack Iron Wall City with just Rex. He had to have his own elemental creatures and Desolate Warriors to suppress the Magic Tower in Iron Wall City.
Just like what Yun Liu did in Great Liang City, after the Magic Tower was suppressed, it could no longer help with the defense of the city.
From Metatlin City to Ceylon City was almost equivalent to crossing the entire continent. The distance was more than twenty thousand kilometers. Some mountains were difficult to fly over. Fortunately, Salin was well prepared. Everyone was wearing equipment made of Thunder Dragon Skin. With this, at least when flying at high altitudes, they didn't have to worry about being struck by lightning at any time.
Just like that, Salin crossed who knew how many mountains. On the way, Salin even flew into the clouds many times. In the clouds, even Neris was extremely nervous. They didn't know what kind of lightning Salin's equipment could avoid.
The electric current that Salin and Neris could release was not even one ten-thousandth of the power of natural lightning. Because of this, the two of them were much more afraid of lightning than ordinary mages.
Because he was worried about encountering Faka, Salin deliberately avoided the Chaos Swamp and flew in the mountains further north. Along the way, he saw the desolate area north of the Chaos Swamp and the continuous forest with countless magic beasts. The environment here was even worse. If one wasn't a level-9 Magic Shooter, it would probably be difficult to move an inch.
Salin wasn't in the mood to hunt, but he kept using his Elemental Eyes to observe and remember, trying to find a way out in the mountains. In the end, Salin was extremely disappointed. There was no place for ordinary people to pass through the northern part of the Chaos Swamp.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the Devil Legion could not climb over those mountains.
Trish's heart skipped a beat as she watched. Many times, Salin would bring her through the mountains, reaching heights of more than five thousand meters. The northern region had been covered in snow for years. Where there were no trees, the ground was a glaring white. And under the white snow, there were actually magical beasts fighting intensely. From the looks of it, they were all above the seventh rank.
Even with the power of a Level Nine Great Demon, Trish didn't dare to fall into the encirclement of the magical beasts. In this environment, any of the magical beasts' skills had the effect of freezing and slowing. Once he was surrounded, he couldn't even fly.
Truman, on the other hand, was the calmest. He did not know how powerful the lightning was, but he knew that flying in the sky was dangerous, just like any other Mage. But if Salin dared to fly, why wouldn't he? Most of the time, he could not see the situation on the ground clearly. Salin did not share his perception. After all, other than Nelis, no one else had signed a soul contract with him. Sharing his perception consumed too much spiritual power.
Nicholas was also worried. It was only a legend that the Thunder Dragon's skin could avoid lightning, so Nicholas was also on tenterhooks.
Salin only flew for eight hours a day, then landed and rested. Only after flying over thousands of miles of mountainous area did Salin increase the flying time.
The Scotia Empire lacked Mages. Salin only needed to observe if there was a Magic Tower a hundred miles away, then he could fly safely. After more than eight days, Salin finally arrived at Ceylon City with his four subordinates.
Salin flew with all his might. He did not know why, but when he arrived at his hometown, he felt nervous. He did not approach Ceylon City from the port, but landed in the mountains. He put away the Demonic God Set and changed into an ordinary magic robe.
Salin had never felt that his memory was so clear. He walked against the stream in the mountains, and soon came to a place where the water was calm. This was the place where he had evolved the Magic String. Nothing had changed.
Nelis waved her hand, silencing Nicholas and the others. She watched Salin walk forward alone, walk into the stream, and lie down.
Nicholas and the others were puzzled, but no one disturbed Salin. Salin closed his eyes, letting the water flow over his skin. Back then, he had almost died here after taking the Magic String Potion. For magic, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
How did he get through his childhood? To have such a determined heart at such a young age. Salin suddenly felt very relaxed, as if he was looking at someone else's life. All the pain had nothing to do with him.
He breathed. His skin breathed in the air contained in the water. The haze in Salin's heart had unknowingly disappeared. He slowly sat up from the water, and smiled at Nelis and the others. "I officially became a Mage here."
Here?
Nelis and the others looked around, but did not see any Magic Tower. Everyone knew that Jason was Salin's teacher. He was a powerful Mage, and Salin's only teacher.
Let's go to my house and see if it's still there.
Salin's house was sold to Jason, and Jason was now Salin's teacher. This house was still Salin's home, and it was also the place that Salin missed the most in this world.
Salin led Nelis and the others towards his family's stone house. After passing through the last valley, the stone house built against the mountain appeared in front of Salin's eyes.
Nothing had changed. No, everything was the same as when Salin was young.
The two-story stone house had been renovated, but nothing new had been replaced. Instead, it was the same as before, with the addition of doors and windows. The wood of the doors and windows had been treated, trying to maintain the original style of the house. What surprised Salin the most was that there was a big tree in front of the door. This tree looked like it was hundreds of years old, but when he left, this tree was not there. There was a swing hanging from the tree, with a rope as thick as a wrist hanging from the branches of the tree. The swing swayed with the wind.
This was the best season in Ceylon City. The flowers behind the house were in full bloom, and the fragrance was pleasant.
The house was sold? That's not right. Teacher left in a hurry, and would definitely not return to sell the house. Besides, Teacher knew what this house meant to him, and would not be short of money.
Salin walked forward and pushed the door.
With a squeak, the door opened. Salin's ears could tell that the door shaft was not made of metal, nor was it oiled. It had been reinstalled in the same way as when he was young.
"Who is it?" A voice came from upstairs, and Salin found it familiar. Then, a person walked down the stairs. He was wearing soft armor, and his hair was casually tied up. He did not wear a helmet.
"Ulysses, do you still recognize me?" Salin laughed. This person was the swordsman from the viscount's residence who let him go after he killed someone.
It was morning, and the sun shone in from outside. Ulysses was half-awake, and could only see a few figures in front of the door. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. He saw a young man in a black magic robe, followed by four people standing there.
Black magic robe? Ulysses was stunned for a moment before he reacted. This was a Magic Shooter! He hurriedly put the sword in his hand on the table beside him, and bowed respectfully to Salin.
"Sir, I don't remember." He did not dare to lie. Salin's appearance did not change much, but his temperament was completely different. In any case, Ulysses could not associate the Magic Shooter in front of him with the magic apprentice who had escaped.
"Ulysses, do you remember Salin who you let go?"
Ulysses suddenly stepped back, and then realized that he had lost his composure. He opened his eyes wide, and the sword energy revolved. Only then did he see Salin's appearance clearly.
"You! You … "He was very rude to use the word" you "to a level-nine Magic Shooter.
"It's me, Salin? Metatlin. Ulysses, you should have heard what I did, right? "Salin walked into the room, and Nelis and the others followed.
"Sir? Could it be! "Ulysses could not express his surprise. Of course, he knew that there was a man named Salin. Metatlin's people had established a country in the north of Phoenix, but he only thought it was a coincidence.
"You can call me Your Highness." Salin's smile was somewhat ambiguous. He looked at his house, and found that everything had been restored, including the things that he had been cheated out of. They were all in their original places. Salin had a general idea that this was probably done by Viscount Guger.
It did not cost much, but if Jason came back, it might give him a lot of benefits. This guy was still so good at currying favor.
"Your, Your Highness …" Ulysses was at a loss. The rumors about the Metatlin Kingdom in Scotia did not sound good. But when Salin stood in front of Ulysses with a smile, Ulysses did not believe the rumors spread by King Downey at all. How could Salin be such a person?
A homicidal maniac king? Feeding humans to demons? And raping noble girls?
He was a Magic Shooter! He would not do such a thing at all. It seemed that King Downey really had a problem. Perhaps he was controlled by the Holy See. This kind of cooperation was not reliable at all. It must be the Holy See's mages controlling the court. This was bad …
Ulysses's imagination ran wild. Salin said, "Ulysses, I flew more than 20,000 miles. I'm a little tired. Go back to the city and tell Viscount Guger that I'm back. Ask him to see me."
"Yes, Your Highness." Ulysses unknowingly changed to the title that Salin had requested.
Ulysses did not even take his sword and ran straight out of the stone house. Salin had Nerys and the others sit in the living room. He easily found a tea set and made tea for his men.
"Teacher!" Truman wanted to work for Salin, but Salin waved his hand. "This is my home. It's your first time here. Just treat it as a guest. There are no outsiders here. There are no rules at home."
Truman could only sit down. Nicholas adjusted his mood and said to Salin, "Your Highness, that warrior ran very fast. Could he be looking for an army to deal with us?"
