477 Impregnable Wall Part 1 (1/2)
”Viscountess, can you come out for a while?” Bifano asked as softly as he could from outside the magic chariot. He did not want to enter the chariot and be angered by Saleen, but he did not want to speak with Lex from outside the chariot either.
”Okay, wait a minute.” Lex did not go out immediately, instead she glared at Saleen. Bifano was already angered by Saleen. From her perspective, if they had not taken action, they should be living harmoniously. Saleen had kept this in mind for so long, but he was not as able to endure as before.
Saleen snickered and opened the door for Lex.
Bifano did not use any of the speech that he had prepared upon seeing Lex. He bit his lip silently. He had no idea what magic Lex had used to make him unable to speak.
”Vi…Viscountess.”
Titan Duchy had already been dismembered when the Tanggulasi and Cloudflow Empires moved off. Bifano's title as a small duke no longer existed in theory and Lex had appropriately gave off her higher-ranking aura. Standing at the side of the magic chariot, she lowered her head and looked at Bifano before asking, ”Small duke, what is it?”
”I have found the Temple's door, but I can't open it.”
”There are many enemies?”
”There are none at all. The door's magic seems almost immune to everything, even the huge metal hammer has nothing to it.”
”Magic immunity? Hmm, this is interesting, but…”
”Viscountess, what requests do you have? Please state them.”
”Small duke, we are friends, that is too polite of you. I do want to stay up to a month in this temple.”
”Alright, how much space do you need?”
”Two areas. There should be twenty-four temple halls here, you can arrange for your men to stay there too.”
Lex wanted to stay a month there to wait for news from Metatrin City. Once she got the precise coordinates, she could send the information back there and let the mages in Metatrin City calculate the general location of the main Myers Temple. Such calculations were not complicated, but they required much energy and needed hundreds of mages to do. It could take up to a month for the coordinates of the main Myers Temple to be calculated.
During this period, she did not want to run around Titan Duchy. It was wartime now and it would not be easy to deal with any armies from Cloudflow or the Tanggulasi Empire.
Of course, Lex definitely did not just want to simply stay there for a month, the temple belonged to Bifano. Even though the things inside had long been wiped clean by the Pink Army, Lex believed that there were some hidden places that others would not be able to find. She had the Gods Ring and should be able to find some of its hidden secrets.
Nailisi listened to Lex's request in the chariot and was overjoyed. She suddenly opened her mouth and said, ”Lex, I want a place for myself too.”
”Alright, then we would want three areas.” Lex promised casually and Bifano almost lost his temper. How could a maidservant could afford to be this cocky? He decided that he needed to find some way to get rid of Saleen. It seemed like his relationship with Lex was incredibly close, even his maidservant could call her Lex. This was what all the seniors around her addressed her as, all the new followers called her Viscountess or Her Highness Lex.
Lex said a few words to a black metal grand swordmaster and he turned around to go to the side of the other magic chariot, passing on Lex's words. Lex could not let both magic chariots enter the tunnel, it would not be able to sustain one for long. If something happened, it would be easier to escape if there was only one chariot inside.
Lex released the two fully constructed puppets and walked to the front of the chariot. Only Wild Bear and Jola were by the side, they were able to get along perfectly now. With Jola doing things half-heartedly and Wild Bear being simple there would not be any conflicts.
Nailisi could not help but lick her lips, she wanted one area of the temple to summon her demon. The temple was almost cut off from the outside world and summoning the demon would not cause any trouble anywhere else.
Summoning a demon required a sacrifice. Back when humans captured demons, they needed to feed and nurture them. Demons that were incredibly intelligent would not follow blindly and they needed something in exchange to being summoned.
Bifano had five-thousand soldiers and they were a good sacrifice. She had to do such things in secret. If she was found out from the start, Saleen would stop her. Feeding humans to demons would cause chaos after all. Before this, she needed to instigate some trouble between Bifano and his soldiers to force him to take action.
Nailisi had made up her mind, but was afraid that Saleen would notice something so she started talking to Sika. Sika was bored too. Since she started a relationship with Saleen, Saleen would not let her do anything dangerous in battle. She did not like to speak to Lex and Nailisi was someone who knew her intimately after all. Now that she went up to talk to her of her own accord, Sika did not give Nailisi any disrespect.
Lex's magic chariot entered the tunnel, she and Saleen felt the change in the space coordinates at the same time. This was because Lex had the powers of the Gods Ring while Saleen's focus had already reached that of a sorcerer and was incredibly sensitive to space.
