1168 Mystical Third Eye Part 2 (2/2)

Saleen began inspecting Daniel's schematics after sending Qin off to the 18th floor of the Magical Element Tower.

Saleen was not a death mage. Death mages just often collaborated with elemental mages when crafting equipment, and there were even times that they would simply have elemental mages craft things for them.

Only a death mage like Aini, who possessed special dead soul flames, would take time to study and make their own gear.

Daniel did not have a good financial foundation and had only been able to reach where he was due to Saleen's support. Saleen appreciated him for his lack of ambition and formidable management abilities, which meant that he would not cause problems for people around him.

As for loyalty, it had been something that Saleen hardly concerned himself with. Anyone who would sign a follower contract with Saleen would not be stupid enough to betray him unless they were at least one whole level higher than him.

With Saleen freeing Daniel from his administrative duties, Daniel went into an emotional overdrive and put everything he had into his training.

It was more difficult for death mages to advance between level seven to level nine than elemental mages, mainly due to being unable to train in the spirit plane.

However, Saleen had many treasures left behind by the three kings and an imp like Nailisi, who had coordinates in the spirit plane, so Daniel never lacked any materials or environment needed to further his training. Saleen even created an environment filled with death energy at the bottom of the tower, enabling Daniel to train in an environment that resembled the spirit plane.

The schematics that Daniel drafted was a rare large scale death magic equipment. The equipment itself had long existed and Daniel simply designed the equipment's usage. The modifications he made to the equipment's design were minimal.

He was not a spirit and his training methods were off the beaten path. He was unable to open a spirit space and was only capable of summoning a level eight Pikoosi, so Daniel designed a new spirit gate, which, when fully opened, became a hulking gear that reached 18 meters in height and 7 meters across.

The equipment seemed to be a set of six gates mashed together. Six gates faced all different directions. The height of the gates allowed creatures like bone dragons to pass.

Daniel did not have any mystical encounters, and so crafting one such orthodox death mage equipment was most useful for him.

However, Saleen frowned when he looked at the spirit gate's schematics and then said to Daniel, ”Why are you designing something like this?”

Daniel asked in a puzzled manner, ”Is there any problem with it, my liege?”

While Daniel was a death mage, he wanted to hear Saleen's thoughts. Saleen was a level ten mage and would definitely see more of the world than Daniel had been.

Saleen continued, ”we have the best materials at our disposal and while I can't just craft equipment specifically for you by myself, I'm able to provide you with materials no one else has. Therefore, I suggest you go and craft a spirit temple instead of a spirit gate.”

Daniel was dumbstruck. The difference between a spirit temple and a spirit gate was that a spirit gate summoned all kinds of powerful spirits from the spirit plane, while a spirit temple was meant for keeping a summoned spirit in a designated space, enabling it to be summoned for battle at any time.

Spirit gates were limited when used in certain environments, especially so when Daniel was just level eight. If he faced a level nine professional, his summoning might have even been interrupted.

”Daniel, you've followed me for a very long time. When have you seen me ever have reservations when giving you guys materials to work with?” Saleen destroyed the schematics and took out a starline paper, looked for a design in his magic book, and copied it onto the paper. He handed the new schematics to Daniel. ”Do whatever modifications you'd need. I'll craft you a spirit temple in the next ten days.”

”Yes, my liege.” Daniel took the schematics and turned around to amend it on a platform. Saleen did not look down on Daniel due to his lower level compared to others, which put Daniel at ease. His efforts actually paid off.

He had been neglecting magic training due to being busy with administrative duties for the past few years. All of that bore fruit in the form of a promise by Saleen to craft him spirit temple. The equipment cost over 100 times more than the spirit gate.

While Daniel was busy amending the schematics, Saleen explained the problems encountered in the past few days to Truman. He wasted no time in enhancing his followers' powers.

Their enemy would grow increasingly powerful. Truman was his only student and he could not afford to see this student get killed.

Daniel took one day to finish amending the schematics of the spirit temple, which he thenhanded to Saleen.

Saleen took over the schematics and began preparing required materials. Data of all kinds of powerful spirits flashed in his mind. He intended to craft the spirit temple into something on par with the longsword, Tears.
