Chapter 138: The booby-trapped plan (1)
Chapter 138: Plan of luring and killing (Part 1)
Only Moxian is the most reliable. The first person to say this is not known who it is, but he must be a traditional mage. Salin's way of thinking was very severely affected by Jason, so in the process of cultivation, he would not care about how much money he consumed except Moxian.
What Salin needs to consider is how to continue the cultivation. The newly mastered magic patterns are extremely rough, not only cannot be controlled for attack, but also consume a lot.
Salin couldn't continue, and he had something more urgent to do in front of him. If the Thunder Dragon came back, he would definitely be extremely furious. He had to solve this big problem before he could consider the next thing.
It was already October, and the wind was so cold on this white coast that it was scary. The working magicians released the solidified magic on their magic robe to resist the cold. The swordsmen had sword energy on their bodies, and before it snowed, they could withstand the gradually harsh temperature than the magicians.
At this season, the leaves fell off and turned yellow. When Salin and Neris came down from the Alchemy boat of the Sarin and Neris saw the mages still tirelessly busy. The forest had been cut down from the paths and open spaces, and were waiting for more craftsmen to arrive and start building the city.
The fallen leaves that were cleared have probably accumulated for tens of thousands of years, and there are thick corrosions underneath. Several pirates from peasant backgrounds actually shed tears while holding on to the black and shiny soil.
Many people were captured and pirates. The rich soil reminded many people of their original days. Qin Yin attached the most importance to agriculture, and even the magicians had a lot of experience in planting.
These busy people feel a sense of simple satisfaction when they see the fertile land. This place has been desolate for thousands of years, and no one has come to live. What a beautiful land!
Only Daniel did not feel that way. He was born in the Tanggulas Empire and was a small nobleman. He had a barren territory and became rich by doing business. He was more like a Skochenian. He commanded huge undead creatures to reclaim land and cut down forests, and felt a very humiliating feeling in his heart.
A noble mage is here to do such a thing, and only Qin Yin is so rustic. While resting, Daniel chewed the jerky meat assigned to him by the mage on Sriger Island, and felt that life was really bad. What's the use of planting a lot of food on a piece of land? It's not as good as one-tenth of my income in business a year.
When Salin appeared in front of Daniel, Daniel couldn't help complaining.
"Sarin, can I do something else?"
"What else?" Salin looked at Daniel in surprise. The loyal necromancer now looked sad, as if he seemed even more depressed than he had forced him to become a follower.
"Of course it's what a magician should do. You see, my summoned creatures have now become livestock in the fields, and they eat dry and tasteless food every day. I am a necromancer. In addition to studying the undead, fighting is my profession."
"That's right..." Salin looked at Daniel thoughtfully. He was getting older and basically with Rex in recent years, and he developed a steady and noble temperament. He was no longer the down-and-out boy he used to be, and it was difficult for anyone to notice him. He understood Daniel's complaints very well, after all, Daniel was from Dongulas.
"Yes!" Daniel felt much more relaxed when he saw Salin showing a very understanding and sympathy. He really didn't want to do these jobs anymore.
Salin sighed in his heart. Didn’t he be the same as Daniel? A magician is really nobler than other professions? Without farmers farming, a magician would still be hungry.
Why should I eat if I don’t work alone? Daniel’s performance reminded Salin of when he first arrived in Kushui County, he didn’t understand why those mages had to do so many things for Rex.
Now he understood that the magicians were the same as other people, except for their own talents.
Daniel has a very good talent, but unfortunately he is a little flashy, which is completely different from his appearance. This is also good. Anyway, I have conquered Daniel to make him a show off in the future.
"I can arrange for you to do something else, Daniel, when do you feel you can advance?" Salin took the initiative to ask about Daniel's entry.
"It's hard to say. I feel like I've touched the edge of level 4 magic, but I can't move forward any further and may break through at any time." Daniel was a little proud. At this moment, he was like a mage, not thinking about the contract with Salin. He was just satisfied with his ability.
"Then you should do something other than cultivation to experience the world. But since you don't want to do such a job, just organize the pirates. You have to collect a few magic apprentices."
Daniel was stunned and said, "Accepting apprentices? I'm still a little early now? And without the necro fire, even if there are one or two talented people among these pirates, they cannot become necromancers."
Daniel was not worried about his inheritance, and his teacher never warned him not to teach magic to others.
"When the city is built, I will arrange a laboratory for you. You have to have some people serve you. Choose some first, and I will subdue more pirates in the future. You can choose those with better qualifications in it, just treat it as training to become someone else's teacher."
Daniel thought about it and said it was better than following everyone to reclaim land, so he agreed.
"As for the battle, I want to deal with Thunder Dragon now. You are just a third-level mage and can't help much."
Salin's words made Daniel feel a little ashamed, and he knew he was escaping from work. But he didn't have the courage to deal with a level 8 creature.
Daniel wandered and said, "Sarin, I definitely can't go into the water. Can you help on the ground?"
"Yes." Salin laughed, and he took out the latest map drawn by the magician and pointed to it, "I need to set up a huge trap now, but I have to clear it up here."
Salin and Daniel explained their intentions. Daniel listened to Salin and became a little impressed by Salin. Salin's idea was really simple, but it was this simple method that made him a little likely to capture the Thunder Dragon. He was quite satisfied with Salin's arrangement. Although it was also a digging ground, it was part of the battle, not the same job as the craftsman.
"You should take the pirates to do this. Remember to use the undead magic to hide all possible breaths and don't provoke the thunder dragon's alertness. I guess the thunder dragon will come back in at most half a month. At least, the thunder dragon may appear in three to five days. You have to step up."
Salin easily sent Daniel's complaints and made Daniel happily do more arduous work, which made him a little confused. When did he become the same as Rex? Is there really such a thing as bloodline? His ancestors were also nobles, but it has been more than a thousand years. That little noble bloodline should have faded as clear water?
Salin didn't know that during his adult life, he would naturally be influenced by the closest people. Rex did not teach him any skills in this regard, but after a few years of getting along, Salin unknowingly learned a lot of Rex's things. These things have nothing to do with magic, they are completely a person's inner temperament and ability.
Many things need to be done at the same time. Salin cannot only target the Thunder Dragon. Before Rex comes back, he must try his best to lay the foundation of this city well. There are only a limited number of things that less than a thousand people can do. Salin doesn’t feel any headache, and it seems that all this is a very easy thing.
Let Daniel dig and arrange the traps, Salin summoned the magicians on Srieg Island to study the first building of the city together.
In Jason's design, the center of the city was a square with a huge teleportation array. Salin did not have the ability to modify the drawings, but he decided not to build the square, but to build a building like the temple of Goddess Meles.
There is a teleportation array in the goddess' temple, which is very stable and has not been damaged for tens of thousands of years. The purpose of Salin's construction of this city was to obtain a safe passage that would allow him to enter and exit the half-plane with Rex's people. So he naturally thought of the goddess' temple, which made him remember deeply. The temple was also the beginning of changing his destiny. There he met Neris and obtained a lot of wealth.
In the bracelet that Rex left for Neris, a large amount of building materials were taken out, and there were more puppets, all used to build cities. When Jason designed this city, he also created many puppets invented for this city. It would take at least decades to complete the city by relying on manpower.
The price of increasing the speed of construction is that driving these puppets requires consuming a large amount of magic cores every day.
Salin now wants to build a temple that does not worship any gods, and this plan makes the magicians very excited. Perhaps in the mind of the magician, such a temple actually represents the belief in magic.
This kind of behavior is of course a provocation to the Holy Holy Church, but who cares about this? The pirates certainly don't care. The mages on Srieg Island have not taken any gods seriously for more than a thousand years.
The trap on the north also requires one of the most critical steps. Salin found a large puppet from the bracelet left by Rex and began to let the magician assemble it.
The magicians Jason chose for Salin all have special skills, some are proficient in alchemy, and some are able to configure magic potions. Everyone also has a common feature, that is, their research on magic circles is also very good. After Salin divided the work, the rest was to arrange traps according to the plan.
The most important thing in the trap is bait. The eggs of the thunder dragon are in Salin's hands. Salin is not worried that the thunder dragon will not come in obediently. On the north side of the city's site selection, there are several rivers entering the sea. The river entered by Salin's turtle alchemy ship is not wide, but very deep. It is precisely because the river is not wide enough that Salin came up with the idea of seducing the thunder dragon.
