Chapter 116: Salin's Followers (Part 1)
Daniel's face looked painful, and Shika patted him, and he felt that the bones in his body were about to dissipate. What surprised him the most was that the winged skeleton behind him was a little afraid of Shika and actually retreated half a step back.
Daniel was depressed. He thought that the benefits of the island would be his own. After all, he was the only one of the five people who learned the magic of the undead. Salin and Rex both looked very rich and would not compete with him for such a thing.
As a result, Sika, a Caucasian warrior, inexplicably said that he wanted to study the ghost fog monster. He dared not say that it was not possible. The monsters in the ghost fog were of great value, but he could not beat Sika and did not dare to offend Salin.
"Under magic, I know one thing. There are indeed terrible creatures in the ghost fog, but Daniel should be able to control it. I just found that there was no one or monster nearby. To be precise, even the grass does not grow. Daniel, I think you are very happy. Tell me, what are the benefits of this ghost fog for you?"
Daniel cried and said, "The benefits are great, you must know."
"Can be absorbed by the necro fire, right?" Rex was also very knowledgeable. Salin didn't know. She could always find relevant information to supplement. The two people have different learning angles and huge differences in inheritance, but they can help each other.
"It takes time." Daniel said nervously. He used to dream of finding an island abandoned by the Necromancer, but now he found it and cannot force it to stay. Without Salin and Rex, he would starve to death on this island.
He doesn't have much space and equipment, nor does he carry food. If Salin and Rex insist on leaving, it would be impossible for him to stay. Go into the sea to catch fish? Many fish in the sea will regard him as prey.
Salin smiled, gave Rex a color, and said with his back to Daniel, "Daniel, go find it first. Maybe there is a magic tower deep in this island, so we will be worried and don't have to build any laboratory."
Daniel agreed dejectedly and left with the winged skeleton. The island was very large, but at the speed of a magician, it was not too difficult to search. Daniel had winged skeletons, which meant that there were more flying eyes.
"Sarin, what do you want to say when you send Daniel away?"
"Rex, Daniel has to find a way to subdue it. There is no necromancer in Kushui County. If Daniel is there, it will have a great symbolic significance for your plan."
"I know, but this Daniel is not very reassuring. Isn't your friend Aini learning the magic of the undead?" Rex asked back. She wanted to recruit the undead mage to Kushui County, because that was equivalent to an announcement that she would face the Holy See head-on and never retreat. This would attract more mages to Kushui County.
"Eni? That, I'm afraid it's even more reassuring." Salin said bluntly. He dating Ani was purely taking advantage of it, and he caught up with the time when Ani was at its worst. Ani's kind of arrogant person would never be friends with him in another time. Later, he communicated with Ani's parents and left a good impression. But he was not sure to convince Ani to do things for Rex.
"He once had thoughts that were unfavorable to me, and I would never reuse him anyway." Rex said decisively.
"Leave him to me, I will tame him completely and let him do things for you."
"Hmm? Are you sure?" Rex couldn't believe it. The Necromancer is the most difficult person to deal with. Daniel is loyal, but his mind is difficult to grasp.
"There is a little bit, let him get some benefits on this island first." Seeing Rex frowning, Salin continued: "Rex, you are the princess, no, now you are the princess. I will rule a large area of land sooner or later. There will be a large number of magicians under your command. It is impossible for you to go to the battlefield to fight in person. What about me? I need more time to study magic, and I cannot kill enemies on the battlefield. Look at Daniel, he is much more useful. Turn around and help him create some bone puppets and charge in front of the swordsman camp. Even heavy crossbows will be helpless."
"What if he had that idea again?" Rex asked very directly.
"He won't have another chance." Salin answered affirmatively.
"Well, I'll leave it to you." Rex didn't argue. Since Salin was sure, he would let him experiment. Daniel was indeed a magic genius, but who under him was not a genius? No matter how hard Daniel worked, he would not have a chance to surpass himself in his life. As long as he could handle the matter of God's punishment for hell, he would become a level nine magician before the age of 50.
Daniel came back soon, he was a little excited and said, "There is an abandoned magic tower more than twenty miles ahead, but it is strangely on six floors."
"Nothing strange, it is isolated from the mainland, and it is troublesome to transport materials. If the mage does not have the threat of the enemy, it does not have to expand the magic tower."
Rex said, signaling Daniel to lead the way.
There are no roads on the island, but there are no plants to block it. For these five people, twenty miles is only half an hour. The magic tower stands on a tall platform that is empty and seems to be a hill that has been flattened, more than two meters higher than the ground.
Salin and Rex had seen Rafal's magic tower, so they naturally had no feelings for it. However, Daniel was very excited and respectfully saluted at the magic tower, muttering words.
Salin asked strangely: "Daniel, what are you talking about?"
"I am thanking the master who left the magic tower. Do you know that if I practice in this tower, the undead flames almost don't need to be supplemented with magic cores."
"Oh? Then I can save a lot." Salin smiled and joined the platform with Shika and others.
The magic tower left by the undead mage is a little taller than the normal magic tower, each level is seven meters. The six-layer magic tower is already taller than most castles. The black magic tower is built with steel rock, and magic bonding potions are used at the splicing. From a style point of view, this magic tower is something from the Fourth Dynasty era and is not considered ancient. There is no magic array arranged around the magic tower, and the entire magic array is hidden under the platform.
Salin's cold vision can fully see the existence of the undead power. The magic circle under his feet can control the entire island and hide the island. It is not a magic core. This method is somewhat similar to Rafal's, but it is not as big as Rafal's.
The undead mage is usually very simple and has no extravagant desires. When you walk into the magic tower, the first floor is a huge space with no decorations. Apart from a stone platform in the middle, only magic patterns left on the walls are left.
"It's nice, Salin, you and Daniel go up and see. If there's nothing else, I'll set up an alchemy laboratory here and build the ship as soon as possible."
"Okay, be careful." Salin instructed and signaled Neris to stay. He took Shika and Daniel to the second floor of the magic tower.
The second floor is also empty. It seems that Daniel is right. The undead mage doesn't like to leave anything. Moreover, the undead mage can accurately predict where the end of his life is and will arrange everything in advance. After walking along the third, fourth, fifth, all the way, Salin couldn't help but sigh at the stinginess of this undead mage.
If people are dead, can’t you leave anything for future generations?
It was a little different from an ordinary magic tower. It was not until the sixth floor that Salin saw the window. The ground on this floor was covered with white stones. A magic circle was pieced together on the stones. Daniel rushed to the magic circle and whimpered in his mouth, looking miserable and pitiful.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a plane magic circle! Salin, I'm developed. No, we are developed!" Daniel saw Salin's smile and quickly changed his words.
"Plane magic circle, don't you? Is this level different?" Salin didn't see the difference between this plane magic circle and the one Daniel had once drawn.
"Material, material! Salin, have you seen this stone? It is not natural, but artificially made. At least a whole piece of black hair crystal is needed to create so many bone stones!"
"Uh, black hair crystal? Are you talking about this?" Salin took out a piece of black hair crystal. He had a complete piece of this thing on hand, and this was just a by-product of Nelis's cutting gemstones.
"Oh my God, Salin, you actually have a black hair crystal!" Daniel's eyes were straightened. The undead mage didn't like many gems, and the black hair crystal was definitely the best among them.
"It was originally a whole piece, I gave it to my friend. This is the fragment left behind." Salin didn't put away the black hair crystal, but just looked at Daniel with a smile. Daniel looked at the black hair crystal for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Sallin, what are you going to do?"
Daniel's eyes were red. Although the necromancers had advantages, they also had defects. It was difficult for them to create magic books, nor did they have suitable magic wands, and even the creation of scrolls was difficult. Because there were too few substances that could carry undead magic, the black hair crystal was the best material.
This black hair crystal is not big, just a piece of fragment, but it is enough to inlay smaller magic equipment. If you save points and continue cutting, this black hair crystal can store at least three undead magic.
"I don't want to do anything, let's... sign a contract, a magic contract." Salin then put away the black hair crystal, and Daniel's anxious hand frustrated.
Salin was not in a hurry. He didn't even see a black-haired crystal sold in Alchemy City. It wasn't that Alchemy City did not. It was estimated that Alchemy City also had a necromancer. When encountering such a gem, he would first use it for his wizards. Even if Daniel had money, he could not buy this gem, not to mention that he was very poor.
"Sarin... I listen to you!" Daniel gritted his teeth. In addition to storing magic, the black crystal also helped him a lot in his cultivation. Especially with high-quality undead flames, he had almost no effect with ordinary crystals.
"Daniel, don't say that. I didn't force you. If you don't like it, don't sign a magic contract. I can sell this black hair crystal to you at the price on the market."
"I..." Daniel was speechless. He had no money. This black hair crystal was too valuable to the necromancer. He wanted to buy this black hair crystal, but he didn't know how long it would take to get some money. It was definitely a long time.
"You have to think about it. My friend is also a practice of undead magic. When I meet him, I may give him all the rest." Salin said, about to walk down the sixth level of magic tower. Daniel reached out, but saw Shika staring at him tightly. Daniel shivered, and did not dare to stop Salin, but just screamed.
