Chapter 138: The booby-trapped plan (2)
Chapter 138: Plan of luring and killing (Part 2)
The landform in the north of Phoenix is very primitive. The river that Salin chose as a trap has been diverted several times. What Daniel wants to do is to clear the river channels that once existed upstream of the river and build a dam that can be dug at any time. Once this dam is opened, the river water will enter another channel.
Because it was cleaned up on the existing river channel, Daniel's work progressed very quickly. Huge undead creatures have more effect than any puppet. After all, the magician can do only a limited amount of things that a low-level puppet can command, while the summoned creatures are like part of the magician's own body, able to do actions that the puppet cannot do.
There were huge rocks in the river. The undead corrosive magic released by the double horns on Pixius's three heads could effectively destroy this white stone. Soon Daniel carried out most of the work.
The magician on Srieg Island also directed large puppets to set up traps. On both sides of the original river channel, Salin piled up a large amount of stones, which were almost a hundred meters high, and he mined them wildly every day. These stones were placed on the magic circle. As long as the magic circle was activated, these mountain-like stones would immediately tilt, fall into the river, and cut off the river.
In the history of the Meers Continent, cutting off a river is not very difficult. A level nine magician can easily block a small river. Salin's trouble now is that although the river is not wide, the river is turbulent and deep. While cutting off the river, he must ensure that the thunder dragon cannot break through the obstacle and return to the sea.
Khasarin now has no one around him who is above the level of the Magician, so he has to use the most primitive method to do this.
The thunder dragon is faster in the water than any kind of warship. Salin must ensure that the thunder dragon cannot return when the river is cut off. When the thunder dragon comes back, the magicians on both sides of the thunder dragon must also evacuate safely. If you wait on the shore, other people may not have the ability to withstand currents like themselves and Neris.
After the downstream of the river is blocked, the river must be cut off in the upstream and the river will be diverted. Otherwise, the river will spread across the stones that block the river. The thunder dragon cannot leave the water. Once the water overflows the artificial dam and the dragon returns to the sea, Salin will never be able to deal with the thunder dragon again.
Even if the Thunder Dragon is not a smart creature, it will not step into the same trap twice.
Seeing that the trap was almost arranged, Salin and Neris sat by the river, watching the magicians set up magic circles. If so many stones enter the river dozens of meters deep, they must be put into it at one time. A magic circle is not enough, it is a thousand times more expensive than the magic stone cannon.
Human power is wonderful. Even if it is not as good as tens of millions of years ago, so many relatively weak humans can kill an eighth-level thunder dragon by organizing together. Hundreds of people divide the work and cooperate, and each person is as weak as an ant for the thunder dragon.
The river water is cold and bone-blooded. Even on the shore, Salin could feel the breath brought by the wind blowing over. The environment in the north is really harsh, no wonder no nobles were willing to reclaim the land here.
It costs more gold coins to support a farmer here and pay taxes to the empire.
"Nelise, what is your hometown like?" Salin remembered his home, Ceylon City, and he didn't know when he could go back. Now Salin no longer has the idea of going back to surprise everyone who knows him. It was very naive. After becoming a great magician, Salin no longer considered the eyes of those ordinary people.
In addition to feeling a little sorry for Guge, Salin took the money from Guge Viscount, but did not help him. However, with this feeling, for Guge Viscount, the investment was half successful. As long as Salin could go back in the future, it would definitely bring great benefits to Guge Viscount.
Skochenya is not an Alchemy City, where the status of a magician is obviously higher. Although the mages in Alchemy City can despise other professions, the competition among magicians is too fierce. It is not uncommon for ordinary mages, apprentices, and great magicians to be everywhere. The real power is only in the hands of the magician.
For example, the magicians sent by Jason to Salin must be executed without reservation on Jason's orders. Unless they become magicians, Jason will always have the right to control them.
It looks extremely noble, but in fact it is a very strict hierarchy. This is what Salin doesn't like. If he wants the magician to live in a world, Rex's ideal is what Salin is willing to accept, although that's too unrealistic.
"I've told you all." Neris is very tired now. She used her bracelet to carry a large amount of stone, which also consumes mental power. So she has no consciousness of contract creatures at all and does not want to answer Salin's questions.
"In my hometown, rivers will freeze in winter. The harbor will be temporarily closed. I heard that further north, there are floating mountains on the sea, all of which are ice."
"Yeah." Neris answered lazily, absent-mindedly. Both Shika and Rex left, which made her feel at a loss. It would be great if Shika stayed. Although Rex was good to her, she didn't like someone with too strong control. Although Salin became stronger and stronger in front of Rex, he could not change the level gap between the two sides.
"Don't you want to go back and have a look?" Salin seemed to have countless nonsense today. He rarely talked to others and was squeezed out by him to practice magic most of the time.
"I think, but it doesn't make any sense. You can't go with me."
"Why can't it? Neris, do you think I'm such an inhumane person?"
"Master, you are too weak. I don't want you to stop eating it from the big demon." Nelise's answer was inhumane.
Salin didn't care about Neris's blunt words. He looked at the busy large puppet across the river and said to Neris: "If I become a level nine magician, I might go back with you, right? I really want to see what other planes look like."
"Haven't you been to half of the plane?"
"That was sent in by God. I hope that one day, I can freely enter and exit various planes, just like the people in the past."
"I remember you want a boat, and you can't even walk freely on the plane of the Meers continent, so don't say this nonsense." Nelise replied with a bad attitude.
"Hey, then I'll build a big ship that can enter and exit every plane and bring all my friends."
"Master, who else is your friend besides Sica? Rex is a partner? Your boat must be pitiful."
Salin was speechless by Neris's words, and he was suddenly hit by Neris's words. Indeed, during the time he lived in the Princess's Mansion, none of the magicians in the yard became his friend. Apart from Sika, he could not find anyone who could completely believe.
This cannot be blamed on others. His life since childhood has made him full of vigilance about everything. His mentality can only be more normal than Aini. Maybe it is because of this that he has a good relationship with Aini. The problem is that Aini can only be considered half a friend. When the real danger comes, Salin cannot leave his back to Aini.
"I have a teacher." After a long silence, Salin said this.
"Gratitude, trust, attachment, these are the so-called emotions of human beings, right?" Neris has read a lot of books recently and is less and less like a demon. Her words hit the nail on the head. Salin trusted Jason because everything he had given him can be said to be given by Jason. Without Jason, Salin would not have today. If Jason wanted to take all this back, Salin would not refuse.
The reason why Salin worked so hard for Rex's affairs was mostly because he wanted Jason to have six yuan space. This was a reward. Salin really wanted to respect his parents now, but his parents died early, and the object he could repay became Jason.
Neris was too accurate. Salin was like a rootless grass, and he longed to go deep into the earth and get a hug.
"Master, this Neris is so bad, you should punish her!" The sound of the winged skeleton sounded again in Salin's mind.
Salin casually said, "She will be very sad."
"What?" Neris thought Salin was talking to her.
Salin was stunned, then laughed and said to Neris: "Winged Skeleton said that your attitude is bad and asked me to punish you. Do you think this should be done?"
"Hmph, this guy..."
Nelise suddenly thought that Salin had more than one contract creature now, but she didn't find any more competitors. According to Salin's meaning, this winged skeleton is very loyal. If this continues, Salin may really alienate herself.
Thinking of this, Neris immediately changed into a smile, leaned her body towards Salin, and said to Salin in a low voice: "Master, I don't mind, come and punish me."
"What are you doing!" Salin was confused by the sudden change in Nelise's attitude.
Neris blew his mouth in Salin's ear and teased Salin: "Master, didn't you say I am your maid? The nobles always punished the maid. The books were written, first spanking, and then dragging it to the bed."
At this time, Salin regretted that Neris had learned to read. Neris didn't need to practice like him, and had plenty of time. When Salin was practicing, Neris could not only sleep, but also read books. The more books Nalis read, the more trouble it became.
No matter how cunning the demon is, it is essentially purer than humans. Neris is now a demon polluted by the human spirit, and she is reaching her hand into Salin's clothes, all the way down.
"Stop!" Salin shouted loudly, and even the magicians in the distance heard it. Many people looked over and saw an enviable scene. Salin's stunning maid was snuggling in his arms and putting his hands on it.
Magicians are not all stones, and many people envy Salin. They have a heroic and beautiful female warrior to protect them, and a maid who looks amazing to anyone. His friend is also a prince of the empire and has a large area of territory.
