Chapter 1197: Puppet Constellation (Part 1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was only after Saleen had released the dark cloud that he had discovered this enemy. Since they were concealed outside the battleground, they obviously did not harbor any good intentions. Saleen’s Cot Flash and Crystal Finger both had extrely high levels of consumption. After killing the level 10 True Might, he escaped towards the Magical Elent Tower.
In the lake water half a kiloter away, amidst the pitch-black shadows, Agares, seeing that Saleen had escaped back to the Magical Elent Tower, did not act. He turned and left, instead.
Saleen was too wily. This ti, he had acted extrely honestly, but Agares still would not go and chase after him.
The Magical Elent Tower’s attacks were terrifying. If he were really chased after him, he would be bombarded with magic spells. None of his equipnt would withstand it.
After Saleen returned to the Magical Elent Tower and turned around again to check, Agares had disappeared into the lake water.
It was him!
Saleen was able to identify the thread of aura that Agares had left behind. The assassin emperor had actually been unhard inside his dark cloud. It was evident that he had an even more powerful piece of equipnt that could temporarily resist the corrosive effect of the Six Elents’ Heavy Water.
Saleen rejoiced. The dark cloud contained the Six Elents’ Heavy Water, which forced Agares to use his equipnt. Otherwise, he would have been unable to discover the presence of the powerful assassin.
He had advanced and strengthened his abilities. Agares had not fallen behind.
Saleen made the decision on the spot. He did not stop either. He allowed the Magical Elent Tower to rush up to the surface of the lake and fly towards tatrin City. Agares following his trail had two anings. The first was that he wanted to hunt him down and kill him. The second was that he wanted to see if he could follow him to find new temples.
This ti, he was extrely fast, so he had shaken off Agares. Next ti, he might not necessarily have such good luck. Agares’ sneaking skill was nacing. Among the people at level 10, perhaps only Jason would be able to discover him. However, he could not bring his teacher every ti he went out. That would be too embarrassing.
Agares had not gone far either. He saw Saleen’s Magical Elent Tower fly into the distance from the lakeside. Only then did he reenter the lake water, retrieving the level 10 True Might’s longsword that had been thrown aside. The longsword was a powerful piece of equipnt. Assassins were able to use it as well.
After obtaining the longsword, Agares flew out of the surface of the water and headed for the mountains in the west. The level 10 True Might’s 8,000 sword slaves were still there, and he wanted to take control of them. Saleen did not value such things, but Agares did. The sword slaves had been subdued by the True Might’s skills, so they were rely a bunch of powerful slaves.
They were equivalent to 8,000 elite soldiers. Furthermore, most of them possessed magic armor. Thus, they did not even need equipnt prepared.
Agares knew that it was difficult for him to kill Saleen for now. However, if he followed Saleen, there would always be benefits for the taking, such as the 8,000 sword slaves. If he had relied on his own efforts, he would first have to kill that dangerous True Might. He did not have anything of the sa caliber as the Magical Elent Tower, so he had not dared to make a move the whole ti.
After Saleen had succeeded, he escaped far away, rushing back to tatrin City. Glenn and his party had already sailed off. If they did not set sail, tatrin harbor would be frozen over.
Saleen cleared up his train of thought and decided that he should go looking for the temples. Regarding the trade with the Devil’s Horn, if the other party did not dispatch the battleships, he would not be able to locate his subordinates for the ti being. Ultimately, he could not kill off the Devil’s Horn. He needed to wait patiently; he could only retaliate once the other party made their move. Otherwise, the contract’s restrictions were no laughing matter.
In order to understand that, Saleen went to the temple’s top floor to look for his teacher.
Jason was in a very good mood. He had gone with Saleen to the Imperial City of the Abyss one ti and had been able to obtain all of the required elental creature materials to successfully refine the magic amplifier. Fortunately, his student was able to use Water Fla Alchemy and could help him. Otherwise, it would be way too difficult to handle.
Saleen retrieved two territorial crystals, placing them in front of Jason.
Jason was delighted. “You actually managed to pull out your territory!”
It was the first ti that Saleen had seen his teacher lose his composure. Normally, Jason was always calm even in the midst of an ergency. Even if lightning and thunder struck beside him, he still would not lose his composure.
Seeing Saleen’s doubtful expression, Jason laughed. “Saleen, since you were able to pull out your territory, your future prospects will be unlimited. There is also the possibility that you may surpass . We mages from the sa origin have not made ourselves known for far too long!”
“Teacher, I know that mages place great emphasis on inheritance. This matter, does it have a deeper level of aning?” Saleen asked about the matter for the first ti.
“It doesn’t really have any deeper aning. Mages too will die. Who on earth would ever wish for everything about themselves to disappear after they die? Mages can die, but magic should be passed down the generations forever. As for you, you are in fact considered to be my hope and my future.”
Jason spoke calmly, but Saleen was able to tell that he was restraining excitent.
Saleen said, “I also feel this way. I feel extrely ashad about Truman.”
“You have opened up a broader path for him, Saleen. This is Truman’s fortune. If you had not discovered him, perhaps he would have been drowned in the midst of Sreeger Island’s nurous mages and would not have attained any particularly great achievents in his life.”
Saleen nodded. “This ti, I will consider it carefully and bring him along to give him guidance. But Teacher, I wish to refine these two territorial crystals into pieces of equipnt. Is that possible?”
“Why don’t you give the elental creatures’ territorial crystal to . I rarely want anything of yours. I think you are really anxious about it.” Jason laughed.
Saleen nodded in embarrassnt. He had always wanted to repay Jason with sothing, but every ti it was Jason who gave him more assistance.
“The Puppet World Territory still holds many uses for a king. Didn’t you obtain the God of Puppets’ heart fragnt? Give three days. I will have all the mages in tatrin City co together to calculate and design a piece of useful equipnt for you. In the future, you will no longer have to bring along a group of Followers for battle. Your Followers will all be able to cultivate and beco fully independent.”
That was Saleen’s advantage. He had a qualified teacher and close to 10,000 mages working for him. They could calculate extrely complex formulae at any ti and design equipnt that only appeared in theories.
Saleen could afford to wait three days. He could stay in tatrin City and contact Lex to ask her about Daliang City. On Daliang City’s side, the fossilized gods were still endless, which made Saleen very joyful. If the fossilized gods beca lower in number, he would have to return. Within the huge energy barrier in the cetery of the giants, there were mysteries of lightning that were waiting for his research.
All of tatrin City’s mages stopped the work they were doing, and ca to help Saleen design his new equipnt.
The God of Puppets’ heart fragnts did not need to be complete. Saleen already had half of it. He only needed to use one third and he would be able to supply enough to be used for his equipnt.
Territory crystals was even harder to co by, otherwise it would not be necessary to mobilize all of the mages to co and design the equipnt blueprints. This type of equipnt rarely appeared in theories. The design of magical equipnt gradually beca more complex. The equipnt designed by the ancient humans were made of extrely strong materials. There were not many tricks to it, but they were able to achieve the most perfect outcos.
On the current Myers Continent, good materials were more and more scarce. Mages put forth their greatest effort, and many well thought-out pieces of equipnt appeared. If they were able to obtain materials that were perfect enough, the equipnt created might be no worse than the ones designed by the ancient humans.
In the three days, he mages did everything they could to help with the calculations for the equipnt, including the large weapon’s spirit in the alchemic factory, and helped Saleen design the blueprints.
Saleen was amazed when the three dinsional blueprints were brought to him. It was the benefit of numbers. If it were left up to him alone, it would probably have taken him about three to five hundred years to produce such a design.
On the 17th floor of the Magical Elent Tower, all of tatrin City’s eight level 10 mage trainers were present, including Jason. The mory crystal had been placed in the magic array, triggering the image of the three dinsional blueprints.
The equipnt was about two ters long. It looked like an irregular sphere, since it had a total of 144 faces. Each face had a circular opening. The openings were all linked to one another, countless magic symbols passing through and forming magic power currents.
It looked just like a ball.
Jason triggered the movent of the blueprints. The ball gradually expanded. It covered the entire 17th floor of the magical tower. Amidst the layers and layers of circular bodies within the sphere, the magic power currents were even more complex. Saleen counted, there were 144 layers of circular bodies, and each layer was a gigantic space.
If the sphere expanded completely, its diater would reach about 4 kiloters. Inside, there were over 20,000 spaces, each with about a dozen puppets. The core at the innermost layer was a piece of the shattered heart. The mages had not attempted to restore the God of Puppets’ heart and instead deliberately crafted it in a shattered state.
The shattered heart provided never-ending magic power current to the Puppet World. All of the puppets could battle, repair, and revive within the magic power current.
The puppets could also be summoned from the 144 openings. Saleen was not required to open the Puppet World to use them.
“This piece of equipnt can be advanced up to level 15.” Jason’s eyes shone with delight. If the equipnt was successfully refined, many among the mages would advance as well. For such a complicated piece of equipnt, the core would have to be crafted with the combined efforts of the level 10 mages in the tower. However, the outer parts could be refined in the alchemic factory.
All of the mages who took part in the refining would benefit. Jason had established the alchemic factory for that reason.
Saleen’s eyes twinkled as he looked at the gigantic sphere. “It still needs modifications, give one day.”
Jason and the other level 10 mages looked at him. Saleen said, “I possess the power of the constellations and can make this even more complete.”
“That’s fine as long as you are willing. After all, this is ant for you.” Jason beckoned towards the other mages and left, leaving Saleen alone.
Saleen looked at the image of the gigantic sphere. He began to imagine that the sphere had the appearance of a planet. He retrieved the level 16 Star Gathering Needle and began to add star patterns to the magic image.
