Chapter 161: Contract Trap (Part 2)
Salin was not afraid of any trouble these pirates caused him. Two of the pirates who had completely followed him had broken through to the advanced swordsman. Those pirates who were unwilling to follow him were only two of them at the level of junior swordsmanship, and the rest were ordinary swordsmanship.
The swordsman is still a combat power in the mercenary group, but he is not inferior to these half-hearted guys here in Salin.
The only problem is, if I and Aini leave the city base, who will be responsible for the safety here? Once the three kings leave, there will be trouble, and Salin is afraid that the magicians on Srieg Island will not be able to suppress them.
Salin and Aini talked in his cloud movement technique for more than an hour before they decided how to lure the three kings into the bait.
It was already deep winter, and it had been snowing for several days in a row. To the east of the temple, one mile from the port, Salin chose a piece of land for Aini as the center of the Clyde family in the city.
The Clyde family sent five hundred swordsmen over, but in fact, they couldn't use so many swordsmen to do business. Aini ordered three hundred of them to follow Salin for the time being to assist the city's defense. The Clyde family knew that this was a good investment opportunity, so they were willing to pay much attention. Salin was indeed short of people at hand, and Rex took away one-third of his power. These three hundred swordsmen were a timely help.
The Clyde family's business is not at all lost. As long as Salin survives this time, they will definitely receive higher treatment in this city than other families.
On the selected land, a mansion began to be built. There are many disadvantages to building a house in winter, but most of the buildings in this city use stone, and the effects of magic will not affect the life of the building.
It is only two miles away from the temple. It is very good at the location, close to the port, and is on the axis of the east-west direction of the city. In the future, after the city is completely repaired, the land in such a location will be very expensive.
Temporary fortresses were built one by one. The standard configuration in the fortress was an alchemy crossbow, plus five swordsmen. This medium-sized alchemy crossbow requires two swordsmen to control, and the remaining three swordsmen protect the alchemy crossbow.
After these temporary fortresses were built, Salin finally felt relieved. There would be no reappearance of the Holy See this winter. Although Benchagana did not kill the Black Bishop, it was also a shock to the other party. Before there was enough power, those who stayed in the north of the Holy See would wait for reinforcements from the City of Glory.
Aini was building his own mansion, while Salin took Neris to dig a fort on the stone hills in the north of the port.
The whole stone mountain is a huge white rock, extremely solid. In Salin's view, this stone mountain with a diameter of only a few hundred meters cannot be destroyed even with level nine magic. He could only rely on the terrazzo to dig a space in the middle of the stone mountain.
There are six magic cannon shooting ports in this space and six turrets must be refined. Salin's current Water Flame Alchemy has been initially successful, but time is tight, so he can only temporarily refine one turret. After installing the magic cannon and inlay the magic core, he can control the ships from the sea.
There are two structural puppets in Nelise's bracelet. These two puppets have traces of life and can command freely. With these two puppets, Nelise can control magic cannons on this turret alone.
It takes huge manpower to deflect the shooting angle of the magic cannon, and the power of the construction puppet has exceeded the moment when the intermediate sword master activates the sword energy.
The magic cannon has two flaws. The first is that it requires a solid foundation and is almost impossible to move. The magic cannon obtained by Salin now weakens this problem. The second flaw is that it costs too much. The full-strength attack of the magic cannon is equivalent to level nine magic. It can be imagined how much magic core it will consume to shoot this cannon.
According to the principle of transformation of magic core energy, the energy contained in a level nine magic core can release six levels nine magic times. When used on a magic cannon, the number will be reduced by half. In other words, if Salin fills 12 level nine magic cores in the inlay position of the magic cannon, it can only be fired thirty-six times.
Salin also has the core of dragon crystal in his hand, and even inlaying the dragon crystals cannot completely solve this problem. Using dragon crystals as the energy of magic cannons, a core of dragon crystals can fire almost one hundred cannons, but it will take at least half a year to restore the dragon crystals.
Despite this, Salin still handed the dragon crystal to Neris. Neris was nervous. There was an uncut dragon crystal in her bracelet, which she had hidden. If the two dragon crystals were used alternately, the trouble would be completely solved. Because even in a long-term battle, the magic cannon would not be fired more than two hundred times.
Salin obtained 188 advanced magic cores from Rafal's magic tower. The so-called advanced magic core refers to the fact that this magic core was taken out of the body of the seventh-level monster. Rafal killed countless high-level monsters in his life, but at his level, the magic core is not too important, so he did not leave much in the magic tower.
Four hundred and sixty-six intermediate magic cores cannot be embedded in the magic cannon. The minimum attack ability of the magic cannon is equivalent to level seven magic, and must be driven by level seven magic cores.
"Master, you are going to the chaotic swamp, why don't you take me with you?"
"I will not be in danger with three kings here, but there is a safe person here to take responsibility." Salin patted Neris' head. Now his body finally grew taller than Neris, which made him very relieved.
"Master, you are different now than before. If you are in danger, don't rush forward. Those pirates and Daniel can do dangerous things." This is the first time that Nelise wants to separate from Salin. For some reason, she is reluctant to leave.
"I know that taking the pirates this time is to solve these guys. The opportunity I gave is good enough, but some people are still unwilling to give up and want to live their original life. I have seen such things in books, and I thought it was incredible, but now I know that it is difficult to change what kind of life a person is used to."
"Master, I seem to be used to you." Nelise's green eyes blinked, looking at Salin affectionately.
Salin's face turned a little green, but he couldn't bear to scold Neris, but he just coughed and said, "I'll be back soon. At most three months, the snow in the north has not melted yet."
"I hate waiting. When I was there, I waited for ten thousand years, and it felt better than death." Neris remembered that when she was imprisoned in the temple, she didn't know whether it was pain or sorrow, and her tone was extremely lonely.
"Well, then if you have time, practice the swordsmen more. Don't always harass soldiers."
"Master, that skeleton is very cunning." Nelise knew that she had bullied the Winged Skeleton and must have been secretly complained. The Winged Skeleton is an undead and can also talk directly to Salin in the heart. As long as the distance is within one mile, no one can know the communication between the Winged Skeleton and Salin. When Salin leaves, he will definitely go and clean up him.
"You are not as cunning as you. Nelise, after I leave, you will help me watch Aini's subordinates. Although Aini will not use any conspiracy against me, the people of the Clyde family are not very relieved. You find out the dangers and find ways to kill them. Don't do it obviously, so that people can know that it is not good."
"Master, if someone here is a secret spy from the Clyde family, they will be known if they die." Neris reminded Salin.
"Huh?" Salin thought, it was true. For example, if he arranged a hundred people in Alchemy City, two of them were his spies. If these two people suddenly died, it must have been the people of Alchemy City who discovered something, which was not accidental.
"Master, why not find it and let Aini deal with it after I find it." Nelise came up with an idea.
Salin thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. The one he wanted to make friends with was Aini, not the current Clyde family. Although Aini was responsible for this city, he could not represent the Clyde family. When he could help Aini up, these two questions could be combined into one question to consider.
He depends on what Aini will do. If Aini sends these people back to the Clyde family, it means that he will focus on the family. If Aini kills the lurker for himself, it means that Aini really intends to start his own career and he can work in depth with Aini.
It was early December in a blink of an eye. On this day, Salin went to Judykoko. The Three Kings studied clues in various magic books every day and rarely met Salin. As soon as Salin came, Judykokoko knew that he had something to do.
"Sarin, what good news is there for you today?" Judykoko has been suppressing Diabinas' dissatisfaction recently. Sarin has provided enough magic books recently, but two of each ten must be relatively low-level and there is no need to view them.
"Sir Judykoko, there are some things, but I don't know how to say some things."
"Sarin, even though we have a contract, you know that after Banchagana, Diabinas and I can't even hurt you by mistake."
"Then can you tell me what you are looking for when you come to the Meers continent?" Salin raised his head, Judy Koko sat on a special chair, and had to lower his head to see Salin's face.
"Sarin, why do you suddenly want to ask this?" Judy Kokoko did not directly answer Sarin's question. Sarin had never inquired about this matter. It suddenly asked Judy Kokoko about it today.
"If the things you are looking for are related to magic, I may be able to give you better clues." Salin's voice did not fluctuate any emotional fluctuations, and he covered it up very well. As long as Judy Koko is interested, the following things will be much easier.
Judy Koko looked at Salin for a while and asked, "Salin, can't you trust me?"
"It has nothing to do with trust. The magician only believes in the contract. And this clue is not provided by me, and I cannot let my friends suffer."
"The new necromancer?"
