[Third update, one more update]
"Your Highness, this reward is too high, I …" Gug was suddenly afraid. Salin's reward was too generous, but what about the nobles under him? Would they hate him?
"What are you afraid of? Don't Qinyin also have four big families that run businesses for the royal family? From now on, you will be the first noble to run a business for me. All the trade in Ceylon City will be decided by you. Other than me, no one can take a copper coin from you. "
Gug was even more confused. Salin's words meant that he would be exempted from all taxes and become a royal merchant. He understood that Salin was going to be an emperor, not a small king.
"Can you control the nobles around you?" Salin asked about the environment of Ceylon City. Gug's territory was very small, about a dozen miles in length and breadth. There was a lot of land around, and Salin still had to fight for it.
"I can't control them. But, Your Highness, it's better not to kill too many people. Although the nobles are lowly, they have lived on this land for generations. If you kill them, their subjects will all escape."
"I know, so I have to bring them to see how Ironwall City is destroyed. Otherwise, these people will cause trouble for you sooner or later." Salin said and summoned Neris. Neris went through the window and came to Salin's bed.
"Gug, tell Neris which nobles are around your territory. Let her catch them all."
Gug hesitated. Neris smiled: "Master, lend me the wind element badge. I will personally bring Gug to catch them one by one. They should be back by nightfall."
"Alright." Salin took off the wind element badge and gave it to Neris. Then he said to Gug: "Go with Neris and ask the nobles to come with me."
Before Gug could react, Neris had already grabbed his belt and brought him out through the window.
At noon, Trish returned to the stone house. Salin was already teaching Truman magic. The old mage Nicholas simply found a place to sleep. Only Chris was sitting in the living room, bored. He didn't dare to walk around.
"Your Highness, I've killed everyone in the Scotia Empire. Fortunately, I went to take a look. A few people almost escaped from the city."
"Good job. There's nothing for you to do here. We'll leave after Neris returns." Salin dismissed Truman and continued to talk about magic with Truman.
It was rare for Truman to catch someone to explain to him. After learning the Law of Meditation, he realized that the inheritance of a Magician was a hundred times more important than he had imagined. Originally, the meditation technique he had learned was already powerful enough, but after receiving the law of meditation that Salin had taught him, his mental strength had skyrocketed. He could now easily carry out some magic experiments that were previously restricted by his mental strength.
Salin was passing on the variant Water Pattern Shield. Truman was about to break through to the 6th rank. Before advancing to the Magic Shooter realm, the 4th rank Water Pattern Shield would be his strongest defensive spell.
* Pa … *
The bubble burst, and Truman looked at Salin with some frustration. His Water Pattern Shield wouldn't last long. It would dissipate in about five minutes. Truman couldn't understand how Sarin could last a few hours with his Water Shield.
This was because the 4th rank Water Pattern Shield wasn't a supplementary spell. It wouldn't continuously consume the Magician's Magic String. So once it was cast, the duration depended on how pure the spell was at the time it was formed.
His mental strength was already strong enough, but the gathering and arrangement of the water elements were still far from his teacher's.
Salin, on the other hand, was very happy. After all, he had the Body of Water Element, and was blessed with water magic. Back when he was still a 1st rank Magician, he had mutated this spell. Finally, it became an advanced spell, and even mixed in the law of energy balance.
This law wasn't very strong, but it was the first law that Salin had come into contact with. With this power, his Water Pattern Shield could last for an unknown amount of time without being attacked. In any case, Salin had to take the initiative to cancel this spell every time.
Truman was a fifth-rank Great Mage. Even if Salin wanted to explain the rules to him, he wouldn't know where to start. This involved even more complicated knowledge. Only when Truman had accumulated enough and become powerful enough to see the true face of this world, would he be able to understand some of the meaning of the rules.
"Practice again and again. When I first cast this spell, I could only maintain it for a short period of time. Besides, a magic shield can only last for three minutes in battle. You can already use it in battle if you can last this long. "Salin comforted Truman.
"But Teacher, I feel like I can only use 10% of my power," Truman said unwillingly.
Salin suddenly came to a realization. Strictly speaking, this spell wasn't a mutation, but a creation of his own. And this creation was to make the Water Pattern Shield more suitable for his Body of Water Element. Truman couldn't do what he normally did, because his Magic String could only cast water magic.
To cast the other five types of magic, he had to use Elemental Conversion. On the other hand, if Truman wanted to learn this spell, he also had to learn Elemental Conversion. When he first came into contact with this skill, he was only a 6th rank Magician, right? Truman's accumulation was relatively solid. After learning Elemental Conversion, the Water Pattern Shield was no longer a problem for him.
Although Salin listened to Joey, he still hoped that his unique skills would be passed down. Water Pattern Shield, Eye of Lightning, Cloud Walking, and other unique skills, Salin hoped that they wouldn't be lost in his hands.
"Truman, look at this skill. Don't copy my gestures, just look at the process." As Salin spoke, he had already condensed an ice bomb in his hand and it floated above his palm. The surface of the ice bomb slowly vaporized, and the water vapor spun violently on the outer layer of the ice bomb, like tiny wind dragons.
Then, the vaporized ice bomb began to burn. Salin had deliberately delayed everything by a dozen times. Truman could see that the ice bomb was still vaporizing layer by layer within the burning ice bomb, providing energy for the flames on the outer layer.
"Elemental Conversion!" Truman exclaimed, but at the same time looked troubled.
"Yes, Truman, this is the ability of Elemental Conversion. Back then, I could only cast water magic. If I didn't learn Elemental Conversion, I would never be able to advance to Magic Shooter, "Salin said meaningfully.
The fear and difficulty on Truman's face immediately disappeared. Teacher actually had such a difficult experience!
Being able to cast only one type of magic, under normal circumstances, not to mention Magic Shooter, even advancing to Great Mage was unimaginably difficult. No wonder Teacher was so powerful. He had overcome difficulties that ordinary people couldn't understand to achieve what he had today.
If one wanted to get something, they had to pay the same price. Teacher had paid the price to become a ninth rank Magic Shooter today. But for Elemental Conversion, he had only come into contact with some theories and had no foundation.
Thinking of this, Salin had already taken out a magic notebook and handed it to Truman. He casually canceled the magic in his hand, his movements smooth and natural.
This magic notebook was Salin's own experience after reading Joey's notes. For a Magic Shooter, it was a bit shallow, but for a Great Mage like Truman, it was just right.
"I was a bit impatient, Truman. I wrote this notebook myself. After reading it, you should be able to convert between two elements. At most half a year, you will be able to adapt to the changes of the six major elements like I did back then, no longer confused."
Truman happily took the magic notebook, sat on the floor, and started reading. Seeing Truman's impatience, Salin smiled knowingly. Wasn't he just as impatient back then?
Truman's starting point was higher than his, and his accumulation was deeper than his. In the future, his achievements should surpass his, right?
Salin suddenly understood the special mood of Mages, which was to pass down their legacy. He didn't need Truman to repay him. It was enough that this student was suitable to learn magic.
At this time, Mages were selfless.
Salin thought for a moment, and took out a Demon God Ring that he had replicated. He was a ninth rank Magic Shooter, and could make crude spatial equipment according to the blueprints. He couldn't decompose the power of space yet. This Demon God Ring was less affected by the level, and could be used at the fifth rank.
More importantly, he had refined three magic arrays on this Demon God Ring, and embedded a piece of white crystal.
This was a piece of extremely pure white crystal, which could allow Mages to quickly recover their mental strength. This recovery was not forcefully replenished like divine crystals, but it could speed up the recovery of a Mage's mental strength.
A good white crystal could even change a Mage's physique. Using it for a long time, it could speed up the recovery of a Mage's body. This was something that even divine crystals could not do.
Mental strength was too important to a Mage. The white crystal ring that his teacher had given him seemed to be extremely precious now. If crystals were graded like professionals, then the white crystal that his teacher had given him would be level-18.
The one that Salin had given Truman was slightly inferior to the white crystal ring that his teacher had given him, but it was still a rare quality in the world. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Truman something better. That white crystal ring was the most precious thing that Jason had given him, and Salin would always keep it by his side as a souvenir.
Truman quickly read through the magic notebook that Salin had given him, and then closed his eyes to think. When it was almost dark, Truman chanted an incantation, and an ice bomb appeared in his hand. The surface of the ice bomb quickly vaporized, and Truman couldn't control it. He shot the ice bomb through the window, creating a hole in a piece of stained glass. The hole quickly expanded, and with a crashing sound, the entire window was destroyed by the ice bomb, shattering to the ground.
Truman rubbed his hands, and Salin laughed. Although he couldn't control it, the vaporized ice bomb already had the power of wind magic. Otherwise, it wouldn't have shattered the entire window.
"Well done. You don't have to pay for the window!" Salin continued to laugh.
