Pasatilo and Kanuka took Saleen's token and letter, then they left the city base at night . They were accompanied by a boat of sailors, and travel;ed on the same route as the one Lex had used as they made their way to Lianyun City .

Consequently, there were only two grade-4 mages and some low grade mages left in the city base . These two grade-4 mages were older in age, and they had zero chances of becoming sorcerers . They were also more experienced in life . Even though they might not have been of much help on the battlefield, they were proficient in management, and that was why Jason had asked them to assist Saleen .

The three kings might not have been reliable, but they were able to guarantee Saleen's safety at the moment . As long as Saleen did not leave the shore, he would not need be afraid of the Holy See's retaliation .

Back on the pan's turtle alchemical boat, the winged skeleton had already executed all of the black armor warriors . When these warriors had died, some holy texts had been seen escaping from within their bodies . Under the winged skeleton's control, only a minute amount of holy texts managed to fly out of the alchemy ship .

The Holy See would only receive some vague information which would convey the message that the believers of the Lord of Glory had been tortured by some spirit .

Nailisi had also gradually recovered from her injuries, because of the soul contract between Saleen and herself . In fact, even if the hell's trial had destroyed her soul space, Saleen would still be able to help her recover . As long as Nailisi's soul was not broken, it would be difficult for her to die . Now that Saleen had the winged skeleton by his side, Nailisi's soul could also be converted into a spirit in the event that her physical body was destroyed .

However, Saleen did not want such a thing to happen . He wanted Nailisi to have flesh and a physical body . While he had been in that strange soul space, he clearly remembered seeing that Nailisi's soul had already been transformed into the shape of a human .

The body of a demon with the soul of a human .

Currently, Saleen still had a swathe of construction materials . At the moment, Saleen could not build a magic tower, because there were no mages around to lead the magic tower . Saleen decided to involve the three kings in the building of the normal structures, since Judikaka would still lend a helping hand in this matter . Anyway, the ones doing the work were only a group of low grade spirits . On the other hand, the mages and swordsmen from Sregl Island would do the complicated work .

The people whom Jason had assigned to Saleen were also well-versed in construction . The city on Sregl Island would often undergo renovations, in order to help train the abilities of the mages . Saleen's city might have been slightly larger, but the method of construction remained largely the same .

The temple at the center of the city had been constructed . The architecture of this temple resembled that of the Goddess of Myers' temple . It was just that no gods were worshipped in this temple . Surrounding the temple was the city square which was filled with unfelled trees . All these trees segmented the city square into twenty-four smaller pieces .

The lower level of the temple was going to be used to house the teleportation portal . As long as Lex managed to identify and calculate the coordinates of the interdimensional space, one would be able to enter the hell of god's punishment from this place . The only problem was that the coordinates might not be very accurate . There were weekly volcanic eruptions in the hell of god's punishment . If one was teleported over at a time which coincided with the eruptions and their location was also in the vicinity of the volcanoes, then they would be in great danger even if they were a sorcerer .

Surrounding the temple, there were six positions marked for six magic towers, and the rest of the city was built around these locations . Saleen had a thought in mind . Since the temple would not be used for worshipping any gods, he decided that this temple would be a magic temple . In the future, Saleen was going to establish a land of faith for all mages . Alchemy City was too commercialized . It was no longer a paradise for mages .

The more threatened Saleen felt by the Holy See, the more rebellious he became . From Saleen's perspective, the Holy See was tens of thousands of miles away, yet it wanted to extend its control to such faraway places . It was truly too greedy . Sooner or later, the Holy See's greed would cause the mainland to be transformed into a bloody battlefield . The fanaticism of the believers could hardly be understood . If a person chose to believe in a religion, it was akin to giving up on themselves . They would only do what their god asked of them, and they would not need to think at all .

That was the flaw which humans possessed . By entrusting their future to a god, they would not need to think anymore and they would not need to work hard anymore either . With a religion, they would be able to enter heaven after death . The believers were courageous on the battlefield only because their god had promised them a passport to heaven, so they had no worries anymore . In fact, some of them even yearned to die on the battlefield .

Saleen was disgusted by this situation . When the Goddess of Myers had been around, she had never allowed the humans to make such wishes . Even though the humans of the past had also worshipped gods, they were never as weak as the humans of today . Lex was trying to help everyone regain their own identities, and that was why Saleen had become increasingly supportive of Lex's ideas .

However, Saleen could not keep working for Lex, as he had his own ambitions as well . At this moment, he was not just seeking relief and freedom . He also hoped to do something for each and every mage out there, just as Raphael had .

Saleen's teacher might have also possessed similar ideas . Looking at the map, this city would help magic unleash its full potential . As long as the city was built successfully, it would be a fortress comparable to Holy Rock City . When all thirty-six magic towers were stimulated at the same time, a gigantic space would be formed . Within the limits of this space, no one would be able to fly over it without prior permission . This meant that one could only attack the city using primitive methods . Warriors would need to leap over the city walls and tear down its defenses .

The cavaliers from the Holy See had been killed at Holy Rock City in this manner . Holy Rock City had rendered the high grade holy masters unable to fly in the air . Hence, the Holy See had only been able to use its cavaliers to crash into the city walls . However, those walls were as tough as mountains, thus killing the best cavaliers from the Holy See .

Even though the city designed by Jason was different from Holy Rock City, the logic was the same . A normal city would rely on dense formations of alchemical crossbows to defend itself against any flying mages or flying holy masters . However, Holy Rock City relied on a colossal magic clock . The moment a sorcerer stimulated a sound from the magic clock, neither the mages nor the holy masters would be able to fly over Holy Rock City .

Saleen was full of admiration for his teacher's design . The entire city was under the protection of thirty-six magic towers . As long as there was a sorcerer in each of the six magic towers, almost half of this city's power could be unleashed, which would already be enough to secure the skies . Even if there were no sorcerers, having thirty-six grade-6 mages would also be able to achieve the same effect .

Furthermore, the city walls utilized the Dante Sequence, which would make the city harder to invade compared to Holy Rock City . Unfortunately, a huge sum of money had to be used to build the Dante Sequence, and as a result, the city could not be too large in size . However, Holy Rock City was the imperial capital of the empire while this city only belonged to mages . Even if it was smaller, it would already have enough space .

Since Daniel had previously been angered by Banchajanna, he was now closer to Saleen . He was not as petty as he used to be, and was now busily working as he was fully focused on helping with the construction of the city . Daniel also knew that if this city was successfully constructed, he would receive immense benefits because he was Saleen's follower .

Even though Daniel was from the Tanggulasi Empire and was more afraid of the Holy See than any other Qin mage, he had no other choice . If he was captured by the Holy See, he would be burned alive . In such a situation, anyone else would have also been loyal .

As the city became bigger as time went by, there were many more buildings surrounding the temple now . There were too many white stones, and these were premium construction materials . At the shore, the exterior appearance of a port had already been formed . After large quantities of rocks were extracted, a bay with a faint white hue had been formed .

At the northern side of the temple, Saleen had built a colossal library . Only the Cloudflow Empire had amenities such as a library . However, only the nobles went to the library . Saleen had built this library to cater to the mages . As many mages were poor, they could not rent magic books . Hence, they could only see their time being wasted, and could not learn any new knowledge .

Of course, the library designed by Saleen was not free either . Furthermore, the books could not be brought out of the library . Borrowing a magic book from the library was at least ten times cheaper than if one were to borrow from the empire's library .

If one wanted to borrow a normal magic book, they would have to spend at least two hundred gold coins to do so . Saleen thus decided to maintain the price at around a mere twenty gold coins . This price would be much more manageable for mages . Saleen never thought of making the books free . If one wanted something, they would have to pay for it . Who would cherish something which was obtained for free?

At the eastern side of the temple, which was also in the direction of the shore, Saleen had carved out a rectangular structure from an enormous white rock . This rectangular white structure was also designed according to the Dante Sequence . Visually, the structure looked like it had been constructed from many pieces of giant white rock . However, it was actually one single body .

This structure was over three hundred meters in length, and was conjoined to the rocks underground . It had been built with a tremendous amount of effort when the drainage system was being built . Saleen planned to house his followers in this structure, and in the future, various amenities would be installed in it . Even though a building which was carved from rock was very sturdy, it could become a little cold inside . Hence, a huge amount of magic patterns were carved inside every room, in order to improve the living conditions .

Even though this building could not amplify the power of mages by dozens of times unlike a magic tower could, it would eventually function like a gigantic magic tower as Saleen recruited more followers .

At the southern side of the temple was a garden . As it was winter, the garden only had a rough appearance . In principle, some ancient dead trees had been conserved, and houses had been carved out of those dead trees . The remaining trees and flowers had not been planted yet, and only an artificial lake had been dug out . As the city was near the sea, it was not realistic to dig a well . The lake was used as a water reservoir . In the event that a war broke out, this artificial lake would be able to guarantee a constant supply of water for the citizens of the city .

At the western side of the temple was a nine story tall building . This building functioned as the administrative center for the city . A city of mages also needed to be managed, similar to how Alchemy City had an organization like the Elemental Hand . The building would be responsible for the operations of the government . And when business delegations arrived in the future, this building would also be used as a meeting venue .

After all these buildings and the six magic towers surrounding the temple were built, the temple would be fully protected . It would be challenging for outsiders to enter the temple . A teleportation portal would be established at this location . Those six magic towers could be used to conceal the elemental vibrations produced by the spinning of the teleportation portal whenever it was utilized .

This was the part of the map which Saleen had altered by himself . He had already meticulously considered all of its aspects . Now that everything had been prepared, Saleen only needed to wait for Viscountess Lex to bring her money and manpower over . Otherwise, the Holy See would definitely arrive here by springtime next year, and a war would be inevitable . Saleen clearly remembered the word which the black bishop had hurled at him – heretic!
