Chapter 354: The Covenant of the County (Part 2)
Chapter 354: Covenant of the County and the Country (Part 2)
Rex returned to Metatlin City in a hurry, but she was ready for the letters of the two countries and the template for the covenant. After packing up her equipment, Rex and Salin returned to the temple and left her magician in the mansion.
Neris was so frustrated that she was waiting for Salin to wait. Seeing Salin and Rex come back, Neris changed into a smile.
"Hello, princess." Nelise saluted obediently.
"Nelise, you are much stronger." Rex also smiled. She didn't want to provoke the demons around Salin. Even the owner could not control such creatures. If they offend them, it would not be beneficial to her at all.
Nelise didn't appreciate it, and she said to Salin again: "Master, Sister Shika asks you, will the evening pass?"
"Cough..." Salin glared at Nelise. She was provoking. She never went to Nanyuan to spend the night. Even if Shika looked for him, she would stay in the temple.
Rex only thought that he had not heard it, and that the relationship between Salin and Shika was uncontrollable. Although the two of them lived and died together, they had a subtle relationship in the area of God's punishment, but unfortunately they were in the blood of Grucos and had too much to bear.
The two had to separate, thousands of miles apart. However, Sika and Salin were together day and night, and Rex knew that he would never be able to compare with this.
Because Salin had moved the government affairs of the kingdom into the palace, the second floor of the temple was empty, and Rex was directly led to the second floor by Salin, and the two discussed the alliance between the countries.
Salin had no expectations for establishing a country, but he did this entirely because the convoy between him and Rex could reduce him a lot of trouble.
Deep in her heart, Rex is similar. If she was not a royal family, she would rather be a pure magician. In this paper, both parties calculate not about gains and losses, but how to target third parties once problems arise.
In the history of the Meers Continent, no such covenant has been signed between two countries. The two sides are not intrigue, but are truly for the common interests.
Article 1 of the Covenant: The Kingdom of Metatlin and the Kushui County will be aligned forever from now on, and it will not be easy for a lifetime.
This is a covenant that lasts 100,000 years. From the perspective of contractual relationship, there is no contract that will never disappear. The time of 100,000 years is longer than the history recorded in the continent of Meers, which is enough to ensure the timeliness of this covenant.
There is no eternal covenant, and covenants between countries are usually not lasted for a hundred years. Salin and Rex simply signed a deadline of one hundred thousand years.
Article 2 of the Covenant: The Kingdom of Metatlin, the Kushui County, and the state of the country are closely related. If one side encounters a war, the other side will automatically enter a state of war.
This article actually does not make much sense. This is something that must be done between the covenant countries. However, with this article, even if something happens to Salin or Rex, the nobles do not need to find legal basis, and the two countries can still advance and retreat together in military terms.
Article 3 of the Covenant: the Kingdom of Metatlin and the Kushui County, recognize the status of the other nobles.
This is to reassure the nobles on both sides. After all, the kings and princes between the two countries cannot represent the interests of all nobles. Unless the interests are guaranteed, the nobles will not devote themselves to your life.
Article 4 of the Covenant: If an alliance is formed with a third party, the nobles of the two countries must resolve.
This is even more a means to restrain the nobles. With this, the nobles have no worries and their interests remain in the two countries, so everyone will have more shares. In other words, if there is a third country who wants to form an alliance, the third country's alliance will not be suitable for Metatrim and Kushui counties.
Article 5 of the Covenant: The people of both countries abide by the local laws.
This is to avoid conflicts of interest between the two sides. When people from Kushui County come to Metatrim, they must abide by local laws. The kings of both sides have no right to get the offenders of their own people.
This is actually very important. Many covenants collapse on their own because there is no such one.
The most important five points are the supplementary details of both parties regarding land, taxation, military passage, etc. There are 80 agreements to fill all loopholes so that third parties cannot insert them.
After studying for more than two hours, the covenant was finally settled. Then Salin asked Nelise why she came back so early.
Neris didn't hide anything from Rex, anyway, Rex also knew the existence of the Ice Sea.
"Master, that bone stand, has made great contributions this time. We salvaged a fleet of hundreds of ships. There are not many advanced things, but you need them urgently. And we also encountered a group of fish, which is very terrifying. If we hadn't had a large number of undead and released the dead area, the alchemy ship would have been eaten by the group of fish."
Salin was also shocked when he heard this. Some monsters in the sea cannot be calculated based on common sense. The turtle is a level 8 creature, and its defense is definitely higher than that of the level 9 monster. However, some small fish may be of less than that of red krill, but their attack power is helpless and weird.
Salin knew that a kind of existence called the bone-eating fish, whose teeth could bite holes in the shell of the turtle. If hundreds of thousands of such small fish appeared, the turtle alchemy ship would be eaten clean within an hour.
What Nelise met was obviously not a bone-eating fish, otherwise she would not have come back.
"Master, this is this." Nelise said, taking a fish out of her bracelet and putting it in front of Salin. Rex frowned. The fish smelled extremely fishy. Nelise, as a demon, could not ignore it, but she couldn't stand the smell.
A invisible shield supported him, and Rex protected himself with magic.
The fish Nelise took out was very beautiful, more than one meter long, with silver scales, and was smooth in shape, just like some special alchemy arrows being magnified. The resistance of this body in the sea water was minimized, which was the result of natural evolution.
The fish head was not big, and Neris opened the fish's mouth with both hands. After the fish's mouth was opened by Neris, Salin and Rex were sweating all over.
The fish's mouth is open to its limit, and it is not difficult to swallow a person's head. Moreover, the teeth in the fish's mouth are not barb-shaped, but dense, like files, shining with cold light.
This shape of teeth means that the fish eats not by swallowing, but by chewing.
Salin took out a fragment of the magic core and placed it on the fish's teeth. A clear trace immediately appeared on the fragment of the magic core.
The mouth of this kind of fish can be opened to a dull corner and has such sharp teeth. Thousands of pounce on it can't stand even solid iron lumps.
"What's this!" Salin had never seen this fish on the biological map.
Rex spoke, "This is only available in the deep sea of Stotts, the Dongulas Empire!"
"Stoets?" Salin felt familiar.
"In the Holy Church Code, there is a kind of evil creature. Of course, it originally refers to a water creature in the Purgatory Plane, which can devour the souls of believers. The terrible part of this monster on the Meers continent is madness. It is said that after the Second Dynasty, this kind of fish is rarely seen."
"Why?"
"This kind of fish can be used to feed monsters and advance monsters. At that time, humans raised too many monsters, and this fish is the best feed."
"Then, what's special about it?" Salin knew that Stotz must have a talent for magic, otherwise he would not be able to live in the sea with just one mouth.
"Magic resistance. The magic resistance of this fish is extremely high. The magic below level 6 defined by humans is completely invalid. I refer to elemental magic. The death area mentioned by Nelise is targeting the soul and vitality of biological creatures. This kind of monster with only level 3 will choose to avoid it."
After hearing this, Salin released an ice blade, which cuts Stotts' brain and reveals the magic core inside.
The magic core is very large, occupying almost all Stotz's brain space. Such a magic core as the size of a fist can cut out more than four standard finished products.
The magic core is very large and the brain is very small. The magic beast has very low intelligence and basically acts according to instinct. Otherwise, the dead areas released by intermediate undead will not be killed. If you choose to force an attack, your own turtle alchemy ship will not be able to save it.
"How many have you hunted?"
Nelise smiled bitterly and said, "How dare we hunt? Hundreds of thousands of fish, killing more than 500. The real harvest is the area where this huge fish passes by. We picked up a lot of monster bones and magic cores for free. The fish did not eat these two things."
"It's not too much more than five hundred. I'll take off all the fish skins and can refine the magician's defensive equipment." Rex said on the side.
What Nelise didn't tell Salin was that the Winged Skeletons harvested a lot of spoils, and the areas where Stotts passed were often thousands of monsters that suffered. According to the fish's origin, Winged Skeletons picked up countless magic cores for nothing. Although most of them were low-level magic cores, they were much easier than hunting themselves and there was no danger.
In this unexpected encounter, Neris also saw two huge level 8 monsters being eaten alive and never dared to underestimate the dangers in the ocean.
So what about the third-level monster? If there are too many, you will kill high-level monsters. It’s like there are too many sword masters, and the sword saint will also escape in a state of being in a panic.
Salin supported Rex's group of magic cores, and he was just a little empty. The magic cores brought back by the Winged Skeleton allowed his alchemy factory to continue to operate.
Salin also became alert. The Round Turtle Alchemy Ship is not an invincible existence. In the sea, many unknown creatures are enough to threaten the safety of the Alchemy Ship. Relying on the attacks of the Bone Spirit and Bloodstone, the Alchemy Ship's ability is still too weak. This time, Salin decided to refine the Winged Skeleton and add weapons to the Alchemy Ship.
It's okay to say that the submersible warship he obtained from O'Jarvis is not as good as the defensive power of the Crocos Alchemy ship. The equipment made by the Grucos royal family was originally developed in a deep-water lake inland, and the creatures in the lake are not as fierce as those in the sea.
If the Winged Skeleton hadn't been in danger, I would have neglected this. Rex happened to be there, so I had to ask her if there was any improvement to the submersible warships of the Grucos royal family.
