276 Planes in Chaos Part 1 (1/2)

Saleen's life was not as blissful as what those mages from Sregl Island thought to be. Nailisi had only shapeshifted into the image of the Myers Goddess, but she was still a demon at heart.

Saleen had no intention of dating a demon. In fact, he did not have much of a desire to date other humans either. However, he was already less guarded towards Nailisi than before. After going through so many things together, Saleen knew that Nailisi would never harm him.

”Master, you won't sell me away like Daniel did, right?” Nailisi said pitifully, while nestled in Saleen's embrace.

Nailisi was speaking heartfelt words now, but Saleen did not take her seriously. Saleen was well aware of what Nailisi had been like in the past. From the day the contract had been signed, Nailisi had been fixated on leaving him. But later on, she had grown attached to Saleen, so her thoughts of leaving him had turned into wanting him all for herself.

Nailisi tried to sow discord among the people around Saleen, because the more chaotic the situation was, the more Saleen would need her powers.

”Those mages are staring at us.” Saleen did not push Nailisi away. In the beginning, Saleen had no choice but to sign the contract with Nailisi by lying to and frightening her. But after spending such a long time with her, Saleen felt that the books' description of demons were inaccurate.

Demons could not be considered to be cruel, because which creatures were more ruthless than humans?

The Lord of Glory had disseminated his teachings across the Myers Mainland. He thought that humans sinned the moment they were born and needed total redemption. This sentence was largely incorrect, but a portion of it was right. Most humans needed redemption.

In order for a mage to practice magic, they would have to mine for minerals to acquire gems and hunt magic beasts to obtain magic nuclei. In prehistoric times, the powerful humans had traversed between the various planes and snatched whatever was in front of their eyes. Perhaps, the various planes had been hurled into devastation by those humans, so the gods had descended to mete out punishment and caused the humans to gradually lose their abilities.

Even the gods would have to abide by the rules of the different planes, whereas humans were simply unscrupulous.

Demons were much simpler. Nailisi would eat whenever she was hungry and would sleep when she grew tired. She had no other desires. When Nailisi had come across the eggs of the lightning dragon, she just wanted to use one of them. She had not tried to instigate Saleen into taking all the eggs.

”Let them look all they want. Either way, I belong to master.” Nailisi looked shameless, completely unbefitting of her beautiful and elegant appearance.

In truth, Saleen had wanted to talk about how he felt homesick, but now he had completely lost those feelings. Thus, Saleen could only change the topic. He removed Nailisi's arm and said, ”When I was struck by the current from the lightning dragon, I felt like I was dead. Everything had stopped moving. There was a boundless darkness and there was no pain at all. What about you?”

”Whatever feelings Master received, I felt the same ones too. But I recovered faster, and did not want to let those mages know about them.” When Saleen mentioned the lightning dragon, Nailisi grew solemn as she knew how important it was to Saleen. Jason had given large amounts of materials to Saleen, but in order to construct a city, Saleen would have to spend an astronomical sum of money. Saleen could not ask Lex to move the Bitter Water Prefecture here, or else the Holy See would immediately take notice.

Currently, Lex would have to bring a few people from the swordsman's camp before conducting a mass migration in the Caucasus region. Only the people of Caucasus were willing to live in the plains situated west of the harbor. However, this northern area was not barren. It was even slightly superior to the Caucasus region. There were many mountains in the Caucasus region, making large scale agriculture difficult. Hence, the food production of a village was more often than not insufficient for the Caucasus people themselves.

Furthermore, people from the other regions were not able to tolerate the frostiness of the north.

What Saleen needed to do right now was build a strong foundation for the city, and in order to do so, he would require large quantities of gold coins. The slime secreted by the lightning dragon could fetch a good price. If this thing was marketed in Alchemy City, the mages would definitely be willing to exchange mountains of gold coins in return for it.

”This time, don't charge up ahead anymore,” Saleen reminded Nailisi. The attacks by the lightning dragon could not be dodged, and even if Saleen was a grade-10 mage, he would only be able to stop the dragon's reactionary attacks. Once the dragon's attack was released, the electric current was even swifter than the cognition speed of a human.

Perhaps the power of lightning was released far too quickly, so mages had never been able to use magic to simulate natural electricity.

The magic patterns created by Saleen were a breakthrough, but these patterns originated from two items which were not created by him. Before that, the person who created the badge had already grasped the power of lightning, but this person was neither mentioned in books nor was he talked about among the mages. This man was even less famous than Raphael. At least some high grade mages knew who Raphael was, but there was absolutely no information regarding the person who created the badge.

Saleen was only the heir, and unless he discovered the principles behind this badge, he would never be able to make progress in this aspect. It was meaningless to Saleen if he could only produce an electric current strong enough to kill insects.

”Anyway, we were not shocked to death, so I am not afraid.” Nailisi shook her head in determination. She could not bring herself to hide behind Saleen. The attacks by the lightning dragon had been very terrifying, but Nailisi intuitively felt that what she and Saleen had gone through was only less than one percent of the dragon's true capabilities.

If the power of the blue electric current had been unleashed completely, the two of them would have been roasted into ash already.

Saleen did not say anything. Nailisi was not a hypocrite. He patted her shoulder and then stood up. The stones on the river banks on both sides had been stored into twenty massive magic arrays. Even though these magic arrays were unrefined, there was a possibility that they would only have to be used once.
