632 Confidence Part 1 (1/2)

Saleen smiled and swiped his finger across the table to open the magic array and displayed the magic images.

”This is the dragon skeleton combat vessel and this is the skeletal warship. If you use them to go on a long expedition, the dragon skeleton combat vessel can ensure your safety. Even if you encounter a grade-9 beast, you will not need to care about protecting the vessels. You will only need to focus on attacking the beast.”

The two grade-9 sorcerers were speechless when they saw the dragon skeleton combat vessel.

Both of them would have an easy time if they traveled on this vessel. They would probably only need two percent of their powers. With such a vessel, even if they did not come along, Saleen's hunting should not be too dangerous. Billions of gold coins would not have been able to buy such a vessel. The amount of wealth this Saleen had was astounding!

The wealthier Saleen was, the more loyal the two sorcerers would be towards him. Mages were not bandits so their mindset was that as long as they were able to fulfil the tasks given to them by Saleen, they would have plenty of time and resources to train in peace. Even battles were counted as training as long as they did not leave the magic tower.

Saleen was satisfied and he decided that the magic tower would be in western town to make it even harder to be taken down. One must pass through western town in order to attack Metatrin City, but the army in that town would be able to contain a large army.

Without the magic tower, the enemy would surely remove western town from the picture first before advancing towards Metatrin City. The importance of the two grade-9 sorcerers could not be understated.

The two grade-9 sorcerers would definitely be no match for a one-hundred-thousand strong army but as long as they did not leave the magic tower, they would still be able to contain them. The enemy would have to activate many of their strong warriors in order to control the magic tower and the other soldiers.

To have both of them settle down in Metatrin City would not be an issue. The red tiger mercenary group of Laiyin Duchy have been removed and had temporarily lost the right to be a grade-9 mercenary group. Saleen's men could go forth and try to poach them. Those two silver grand swordmasters were difficult personalities too.

The two sorcerers were satisfied and Saleen was even more so. Now that the grade-9 sorcerers would be participating in the hunt, Saleen would be able to target grade-9 beasts and would definitely be rewarded. Without the grade-9 sorcerers, the dragon skeleton combat vessel would only target beasts that were grade-8 and below. The drop in number of magic nuclei would be significant.

This was not about Saleen being strict. Even Alchemy City did not have equipment like dragon skeleton combat vessel to hunt for beasts. Saleen did not have much, but such a superior equipment was one of a kind.

The hunt would be simple. If they encountered grade-9 beasts, the sorcerers would kill it. They would be exhausted after the kill so they would return to the combat vessel to recuperate. This combat vessel was resilient and sturdy, there was no way other beasts would be able to attack it.

Safety was priority. If the beasts were so easy to kill, high-level magic nuclei would not be selling at such premium prices.

”Finally, I have a personal request,” Saleen saw that the two sorcerers were satisfied and finally decided to state his request.

”Lord Saleen, please go ahead.”

”There are quite a number of noble families that have sought refuge in my city, but there are four that I wish to establish good relations with. I am thinking of inviting them over for you to meet each other. In the future, hopefully you can be generous with them and not kill any of their men for no reason,” Saleen said very courteously.

”No problem,” the sorcerers promised easily. Such things were common in Holy Rock City too. There would always be a few noble families that would be given a more generous treatment from the palace mages. They did not know that Saleen was actually using them to show off his power. Once the Tiffany and Rolande families saw that even the sorcerers had followed Saleen they would not dare to be overly ambitious anymore.

Even Dukes might not be able to recruit two grade-9 sorcerers!

Everyone around Saleen knew what he was up to but none of them gave anything away. Nailisi was impressed and thought to herself, ”Master is simply too cunning. On the surface, it seems like he was asking the sorcerers to look out for the noble families under him, but actually he was using the sorcerers as a means to control the noble families.”

The Fellets would also keep quiet. Their son's prospects depended on whether Saleen would be able to build a solid foundation after all.

Just like that, the two grade-9 sorcerers settled down in the temple and Saleen arranged for a magic tower to be built. He had more than enough resources. The amount of magic tower materials that Jason had given to Saleen could build forty magic towers. That was the wealth accumulated by Sregl Island for a few thousand years.

Saleen invited Aini and the rest to the temple as guests and introduced the two grade-9 sorcerers to them.

As Saleen expected, Tiffany family's Renee, Rolande family's Guya, Williams family's Irene, and Clyde family's Aini all agreed to become Saleen's noble families upon seeing the grade-9 sorcerers.

With Aini facilitating from within, the other three families agreed to Saleen's terms and conditions very quickly.

These four young men and women had pledged their allegiances to Saleen with all their wealth. Saleen would become King and they would be given the titles of Dukes and the lands that they had been given for now were all within the vicinity of Metatrin City.

The kingdom was named Metatrin and Saleen was named Saleen the First. The laws and regulations mainly followed the fourth dynasty, but with minor adjustments and these were all prepared by Saleen. The four of them were declared Dukes and could build their mansions within the city. Since they had yet to perform any meritorious services, they were only third-grade Dukes. These titles were hereditary which meant that as long as the Metatrin family lived on their future generations would always inherit the honor and glory of Dukes.
