1094 Constructing the Magic Net Part 2 (1/2)

While the Tribunal army beneath the city suffered heavy losses, there were more than 10,000 fossilized gods killed. Their pieces being carted away.

Neither Holy Rock City nor Alchemy City had any idea what the insides of the ruins was truly like. They did know the value of the fossilized gods.

Daliang City attacked yet again after staying quiet for a while, deploying over 200 metal flyers to throw huge numbers of magic fire shells outside the city. The surroundings outside the city were quickly reduced to an inferno.

Saleen was summoning everyone around him in the palace and was preparing to leave Daliang City.

”Lex, Daliang City is safe now, but you still need to be around for a while. Take Gusion with you. I'll keep in touch through the portal,” Saleen said to Lex while feeling rather sorry for her.

They were unable to spend much time with each other. Even Sika could, by then, could afford to go on adventures with him, yet Lex had to be in charge of Daliang City.

”Relax, just go. I've nothing to worry about with Sika by your side,” Lex said.

She hugged Saleen and reluctantly let go. It was something they had discussed earlier, so there was no turning back.

Saleen felt rather reluctant as well, but he took out a piece of dimension stone from his Starline Ring and handed it to Lex ”I know you still have a lot of magic nuclei with you, but take these anyway. There is no telling what course the war from here on out will take. If you're reluctant to give up the city, the magic nuclei in here will be enough for you to hold the line.”

Lex smiled and took the dimension stone. ”Anything else?”

”Yeah, keep an eye on Jalin,” Saleen said. ”Don't let her get too near the people of Holy Rock City. There is no way I can take her along to search the temples, so I'm sorry that you'll have to see to her. After all, she's a huge pain in the a**.”

”No problem, if she dares cause me anymore problems, I'll just kill her,” Lex said while tapping on Saleen's hand.

She let him go and went to watch the party leave from the back of the palace.

Gusion stood behind her and said, ”Your highness, his highness will be back soon enough.”

Lex turned around and took a look at the honest golden grand swordmaster and smiled, saying nothing. Saleen would definitely return soon, but she was still rather sad. She had been giving too much for their so-called ideals.

There was next to no one left west of the city. Saleen took Sika and the others on their way, encountering no huge groups of enemies along the way. There were only small numbers of scouts patrolling. When the scouts saw Saleen and his party get closer, they fled the place.

Saleen's party for the adventure consisted of himself, Sika, Nailisi, Jola, Sul, Nicholas, and Eleanor. He had to harden his heart and send his children back to Metatrin City. They were about to enter the temple and search every single one of them, taking whatever within the temples they were capable of taking. This would ensure no one else acquired the goddess' luck within the temples.

Other than the main temple at the center of the mainland, the Goddess of Myers had built 24 temples before she perished. They were spread across the entire mainland. All 24 temples resonated with each other, so their locations could be calculated. It was, however, a given that the calculation feat needed to be carried by a lot of mages. The mages of Metatrin City never ceased going about the task.

The locations of all 24 temples became increasingly clear. Errors were kept within a 30-mile radius. Such a range was hardly considered large when compared to the size of a temple. The calculations, in this case, were even considered very accurate.

The first temple that Saleen was going to visit was the one in Titan Duchy, which was also the place where he took Eleanor in.

Any remaining members of the pink thieves within the temple were probably eaten by the magic bugs. Saleen had only begun to feel that the metalized steel rocks within the temple were very rare materials.

If there had been huge amounts of metalized steel rocks at his disposal, his magic cannons could have been made smaller and easier to repair. The body of his magic cannons were all crafted using precious rock materials. It would have been easily damaged if the internal structures were constructed using metals.

But, Saleen was not there for the metalized steel rocks. He was there to empty the temple of its contents.

The Goddess of Myers had been a mage herself, a human who became a god. She left a lot of things behind. They were all suitable for a mage's use. Saleen believed that there were some magic skills left over by the goddess in some temples from his current level of 18.

Even the grandmaster himself had not been a level 18 mage. The skill books he gave Saleen carried contents that could have only been discerned when Saleen reached level 12. Saleen dared not practice all the magic skills after. He followed the research materials given to him by the grandmaster.

The grandmaster had intended to set him up. Saleen believed that he could have done something with the research materials as well.

Saleen had seen quite a lot and was no longer as careless as he used to be. The party was split into three teams. He and Sika were to sit on the soul beast and fly in the middle. Nailisi was to take her devil form and be on the lookout at the front with two supreme demons. The rest of the party was to sit on the Wings of an Elf and tail them from behind.

The teams were separated for several miles from each other. They were to keep their flights at low speeds. Saleen's Magical Element Tower was not finished being repaired yet, which was also why he dared not take his children with him. It would have been safer to have the tower with him. Not even a level 10 professional would have been able to do anything to them if they were to simply shut themselves inside the tower.

After flying for less than 500 miles, Saleen saw something off with a mountain below him. He called for the other two teams to stop while he flew higher and scanned the place with his Elemental Eye.

A lone mountain was being surrounded with cloudy mist, and there was a small platform at the peak. There were thin traces of writing on it, ”Help me!”
