Chapter 315: Rex's Departure (Part 1)
Chapter 315: Rex's departure (Part 1)
Salin didn't know that he had a good dream in the morning, but Pope Dinicio had a nightmare.
Compared to magicians, it is even rarer for the Pope to dream. The magician's mental power is condensed and not infected by external objects, but the Pope's spirit is protected by gods. It has not happened to Dinicio for more than fifty years to have nightmares.
So Dinicio attaches great importance to this matter. The young mage in his dream led an army of alien planes to destroy the glorious plain. This is definitely a hint of the gods, and you must beware of someone yourself.
The problem is that Dinicio attaches importance to this dream, and cannot be published in the form of a sage. He has to think of another way to solve it.
He quietly contacted the people of the Inquisition, and the Pope released one task after another. Tens of thousands of people were sent out and quietly sneaked into the other three empires. These people had only one task, to find an evil young wizard and send his news back to the Holy City. No one is allowed to do something privately, let alone be told by this wizard that the Holy Church is looking for his traces.
In this action of the Pope, he did not seek help from the Seven Gods. Faka is still missing. Pope Dinesio is a little wary.
For the huge Vatican, this incident did not cause much storm. Wars on the front line were tight. Gallulan was the largest principality, which had already caused millions of troops to be invested in the Tanggulas Empire and the Vatican. This more than one million troops still need greater logistical support. The front was unable to enter the border of the Qin Empire for a long time. It was winter now, which made the Vatican very troubled.
Fortunately, most of the Titan Principality had captured, and the army of the Yunliu Empire retreated and guarded the Yunliu border. The Yunliu royal family did not have the ability to counterattack on land, so they asked Yunliu's three fleets to set off to harass the coast of the Tanggulas Empire, ready to attack coastal cities at any time.
In Metatlin City, because the winter here is too cold, urban construction has stopped. The population in the city has actually exceeded 500,000, which is a huge number. Fortunately, Salin purchased a large amount of grain and plundered a group of people in the Side Star City, and the free people who defected to live without worries.
In the temple, led by Neris, the construction of the Castle of Demon has begun.
The port south of Metatrim City is 700 miles away from Metatrim City. Ordinary warships need to be driven for more than ten hours before they can reach it. The Dragon Skeleton Warship is advanced at full speed and takes six hours for sea routes. The Bone Warship is also very fast, but it takes more than eight hours to arrive.
Baishi, a specialty product in Metatlin City, was sent to the construction site of the Demon City again and again by Salin's dimensional stone. Salin then realized that the white stone in Metatlin City was an extremely precious building material. The hardness of this thing is comparable to steel rock, and its only disadvantage is that it is difficult to directly bless magic. The three kings summoned a large number of skeletons as coolies, but the East China Sea slaves who were purchased had to do more meticulous work.
The Castlevania drawings provided by Tris have been changed by the wizard of Srieg Island, making the project more and more huge.
During the construction of Metatlin City, because it was necessary to flatten a lot of huge rocks, digging drainage channels underground, and a larger underground warehouse, a huge amount of stone was left. These stones were stored in the warehouse and could be used directly. However, the scale of the Demon City was too large, and Salin had to continue mining quarries outside the city and sent them to the construction site of the Demon City.
The stone must be enough. The first thing that started construction in the Demon City was the Demon Summoning Array.
Salin did not discuss the establishment of the Devil Castle with Rex. Even if Rex, as a royal family, agreed, would not participate in this matter. Salin knew very well. Therefore, he had to release all the materials needed for the summoning array by himself.
The most powerful thing Salin has in his hands is magic cores, but he doesn't have much material to build a magic array, so he has to let Nelis solve it himself. Nelis has accumulated more materials than Salin, but he still has to discuss with the Winged Skeleton and borrow some materials from the Winged Skeleton to get the material needed for a demon summoning array.
This is a summoning array with a diameter of 600 meters. There has never been such a huge magic array on the Meers Continent. This summoning array must be sealed, that is, a building with a space span of 600 meters and no pillar is built on the magic array.
Such a building is difficult to construct even if a magician is a magician. As a last resort, the core of the Demon Castle moved more than ten miles to the mountain area, and chose a sudden mountain peak on the plain, and directly digging the demon summoning array inside the mountain.
Salin had to do it himself and brought all the mages from Srieg Island. After using magic to explore the underground part of the mountain, Salin used water to cut a hole directly to the core on the mountain, and began to expand the space inside the mountain. All magicians should explore at the same time to see if the load-bearing part of the mountain is strong, and they must constantly strengthen it with magic.
Daniel, a colleague of the mages who were developing the magic circle, also commanded a large number of undead spirits to help build.
At this time, the undead sent by the Wing Skeleton sent a message back. The undead discovered a secret supply point on the East China Sea route, an island with a radius of less than a hundred miles. This island is more than 7,000 miles away from the Qinyin coast, and is located relatively close to a dangerous sea area. It will face hurricanes about ten months a year.
Although Salin still has nearly ten warships available, he cannot participate in the Alchemy City's search for routes. He had to let the Winged Skeleton continue to monitor and find the next supply point, and he led the magician to build the Demon City as soon as possible.
In a blink of an eye, another year came to an end. The foundation of the Castlevania was finally laid. With tens of thousands of undead and slaves working at the same time, it took more than three months to lay the foundation. This speed can be said to be very slow. However, considering the cold weather, Salin was quite satisfied with the progress of the Castlevania.
This is a city with a diameter of twelve miles, with a huge scale. Almost every inch of the foundation has traces of magic. The mages under Salin have made great progress in this high-intensity work.
Only then did Salin understand how effective Rex had in setting up a life mage in Kushui County. It was impossible for the mage to integrate magic into his daily life.
Metatrile City is the first generation, April is spring, and it is really possible to cultivate. It will take until the end of May. The foundation is built and Salin has time to return to Metatrile City. When he comes back, he receives news that Rex is leaving.
Salin rushed directly to Rex's Prince's Mansion. In Rex's mansion, the swordsmen were packing their bags, putting on brand new armor, and preparing to set off. If Salin came back one or two days later, Rex might have left.
In the study, Rex is sorting out documents. She has been in Metatlin City for more than a year and has run a lot of businesses and has to deal with them before leaving.
Seeing Salin coming, Rex asked someone to serve tea and stopped working.
"Are you leaving now?" Salin was a little anxious. Metatlin City lacked manpower now. When Rex was there, he always had some help and often sent her officials to help Salin. Otherwise, with Daniel's ability, it would be impossible to control such a large city.
"Don't worry, Salin, the official in the mansion, I'll leave half of you. I just took away that elite swordsman camp. Leave 10,000 people to help you defend the city. In addition, the more than 50,000 people you have trained over the past year, it must be enough."
Salin then calmed down. Rex wasn't going to leave completely. "Are you in a hurry to leave? Is it for the border?"
"No, I took these ten thousand people to the border. I want to go back to Kushui County. The Tanggulas in Galoran launched an attack. I want to attack the Holy See army from behind Kushui County, and cooperate with the frontal offensive of the border between Galoran."
"When will you come back now?" Salin asked reluctantly.
"What are you anxious about? I will definitely come back in a year and a half at most." Rex replied with a smile, but Salin was a little disappointed. A year and a half later, his teacher was about to come. Rex's implication was that the cooperation between the two people would continue. But Salin didn't want to hear this.
Rex smiled, and she suddenly emitted an ice archery technique and shot it at Salin. Salin subconsciously used an ice cone technique to offset Rex's magic.
"Sarin, do you think I'm not back?"
Sarah's face turned red, and Rex's actions reminded him of the situation where the two of them practiced magic together for a long time when they were in the Divine Punishment Area. He did not forget, and Rex did not forget either. It turned out that there was Rex in his heart, but because of his identity, he had never wanted to consider such a thing.
Shika had already seen it, so...so take himself first.
His reaction to Rex was much slower than Shika. It took him a year to go, and he didn't feel anything until Rex suddenly announced his departure.
"Sarin, after I left, a battalion left behind is not as capable as my elite swordsman battalion. If an enemy attacks Metatrium, use the outer fortress to consume its spirit. Never seek field battles. Your army is even more ineffective, so you simply shrink into the city. Over the past year, the trade route from Metatrium to Phoenix has been opened. Some people must be thinking about this road. You can find reasons to start the war there at any time. I have swallowed up the Side Star City and Mars City, and more than 5,000 troops are stationed there. If you have someone, please add more to the past."
"I know." Salin couldn't think of anything to say. Rex left a lot of wealth.
"The Principality of Phoenix, besides that trade route, don't touch other cities. There is my army on the front line of the Side Star City. If there is trouble, you can pay attention to the communication of news. Holy Rock City has organized millions of troops to attack Gallulan. Don't put your power into it. Once the war is fought, the most important thing is to continue to open up wilderness, build small towns, and recruit victims from the war."
