Chapter 628

The boxes that were piled up at one side had all been opened up one by one . They contained huge mechanical parts . Saleen did not recognize what these parts were for, but he knew that they were all made from metal crystallites .
"They are indeed treasures but… we can't use them for now . The two of you, follow me to the warehouse . Show me the latest items that you have salvaged," Saleen said gloomily .
"Master, you cannot take away my things," Nailisi said, as if she had been wronged .
"What are you talking about? Master only wants to organize the items . You only care about how much they are worth, but do you know what they are used for?" The winged skeleton lectured Nailisi .
"Nailisi, that is indeed the case . What would I steal your things for?" Saleen felt strange . His own bonded creature still wished to keep her own private items? Saleen could not bear to tell Nailisi that all her possessions belonged to him .
"Master, you have to return them to me!" There were tears in Nailisi's eyes . She almost did not want to show Saleen the core mechanics from Sky City . Her gut feeling told her that it was important and she knew too little about alchemy, so she still decided to show Saleen . Who knew that Saleen would also want to see the other items after that?
Saleen originally had forty dimension stones . He was left with thirty-eight after using two . He passed half of them to Nailisi . These dimension stones were practically filled with the items that Nailisi had salvaged from the deep sea .
Nailisi's physique was resilient and strong, but all the salvaging still took a toll . The collections were important to Nailisi . She even quarreled with winged skeleton for a while when splitting up what they had salvaged . Now that Saleen also wanted to take a look, she had no choice but to bring him to the secret warehouse under the temple .

In order to build a demon city, Saleen had already expanded this underground warehouse . It was six miles under the temple's teleportation portal . There were tens of levels to the secret warehouse and the area of each level was the approximate size of the temple . After digging away large amounts of rock materials, the area looked empty .
Whatever resources the winged skeleton salvaged, he would use directly to create combat vessels or construct the port . The islands within three-hundred miles of Metatrin City's sea had all been occupied by the winged skeleton's spirits of the dead and they had been used for military reasons . There were very few items that the winged skeleton could take out . He did not have dimension stone either as the death dimension was not as big as the dimension in Saleen's devil's ring .
Saleen was taken aback by Nailisi's collections . In the beginning, there were still a few equipments that were still intact . At the very end, the items were either full of rust or were just very small parts .
Fortunately, every item was valuable in its own way . On a decomposed metal sword, there was a magic symbol that was refined from wrought gold . These tens of grams of wrought gold were worth a fortune on their own . Although the magic sword was already in bad shape, it could still be refined to produce about half a pound of rare metal .
Amongst these materials, most were thundercloud wood and divinecherry wood and they were all arranged nicely by Nailisi . These two types of wood were often used to make boxes in the ancient times . Tey were best used to create elvish bows and arrows or refine low-level spacial equipment .
Very soon, Nailisi filled up an entire warehouse level . The three of them went down to the next level . More than half of Nailisi's dimension stones had yet to be emptied .
Saleen felt helpless and said, "Nailisi, give those broken things to me so I can refine them . If you continue leaving them where they are, you are just wasting the dimension stone's space . "
"Master, these are not simply broken things . They were found under thousands of yards below the sea and have been compressed and decomposed for the past ten-thousand years . Even a pile of rust must have its special use . Demons can refine them into something like magic medicine . " Seeing that Saleen was about to take away all her 'broken things', she decided to be honest .

"What can they be refined into?!" Saleen pretended to be angry . He knew that Nailisi was not entirely truthful and was trying to outsmart him . This kind of behavior must not be tolerated . Once Nailisi was used to getting things her way, who knew if she might do other unimaginable things in the future?
Nailisi answered obediently, "Master, I saw the armor that Cuisi was wearing . It was refined by Joey right? It was not refined correctly . In the demon dimension, when devils build their cities, they usually choose six strong supreme demons to run the cities for them . These six supreme demons will each possess a powerful army and they will all be equipped with devil armor . A real devil armor must be made from these metals that have not been decomposed for tens of thousands of years . "
"Continue," Saleen's tone became gentler .
"Based on magic craftsmanship, alchemy on the demon dimension is not as good as that on the Myers Mainland . The materials found in the demon dimension were more superior than those on Myers Mainland . For example, metals with queer properties such as these are very common on demon dimension . The devil possesses six types of armors and they all require such materials . "
"Which six types?"
"Devil's flying armor, devil's light armor, devil's rotten armor, devil's purgatory armor, devil's breaching armor, and devil's emptiness armor . Master, these six armors are very different from each other and they can adapt themselves to different extreme environments . Although Lex's six-winged flying snake armor is powerful, it is nothing compared to these six armors . "
"How did you know all this?"
"Master… after you left, I swallowed the remains of half a devil that I had secretly kept . Master, I took it from the temple, but I still cannot bear to eat my last meal . I have achieved the fourth ability, which is devil incarnation . I got hold of much devil knowledge at the same time . "
"Devil incarnation? Let me take a look . Does it look the same as on the map?" Saleen's curiosity as a mage had been piqued .

"No, Master, a devil looks really ugly . It has three heads and six arms and is much taller than this bone shelf," Nailisi shook her head . It was not like Saleen was in danger now . No way she was transforming into a devil .
Saleen smiled and did not force Nailisi . Her description was similar to what he saw on the map . He was going to see it sooner or later anyway . If Nailisi was in danger, she would definitely transform into a devil .
"Are you able to refine these six types of armors?"
"Yes, the alchemy in the demon dimension is different from that in the Myers Mainland . Master, I cannot refine weapons like you do . I need a factory, toxic fire and many demon artisans . I can only be responsible for creating the materials and the final enhancements . "
"Can humans wear the devil armor?"
"People like Jola and Su will be able to . Black metal grand swordmasters can barely make it . They have enough power, but their physique is unlike a demon . Once they wear the armor, their bodies will be severely damaged . If a zun grand swordmaster fought for one hour in devil armor, he would turn into a puddle of flesh and blood after that . "
"In that case, this equipment can only be used for the demon armies . " Saleen had some regrets . He tried to create an imitation of spirit snake armor, but it was not as good as the original . Now, this devil armor was better than spirit snake armor, but humans were unable to wear it .
"Master, the demon city will belong to Sister Sika in the future . What are you worried about?"
"Master, a few rare types of spirits of the dead can wear devil armor too," the winged skeleton chimed in from the side . Nailisi rolled her eyes . The winged skeleton was taking advantage of the situation! Once Saleen heard that, he asked Nailisi to help the winged skeleton's soldiers refine armor too .
Saleen suddenly thought back to how Nailisi single-mindedly encouraged Sika to take up the position of Lord of the demon city and realized that she did it to give Saleen assurance . This imp had learned how to please people .
"Tell me, what are the special characteristics of these six types of devil armor? If they are that good, I will provide you with a few mages to help you with your work . " Saleen made this promise and Nailisi was pleased . Even if she had her own slaves to help her with her work, refining metal was not an easy task . It was not something that demons were good at . If mages were involved the quality of the devil armor would be more consistent . That would be key to surpassing Lex's spirit snake armors .
No matter how good the spirit snake armor was, it could not contain large-scale equipment . On the other hand, devil armor was the most commonly used equipment in the demon dimension, every devil had devil armies that were one-million strong .
Luckily Nailisi swallowed the body of half a devil and gained the all-important fourth ability . Otherwise… otherwise she would have lost control of Cuisi . Nailisi was fortunate that she was not too late . She could not believe that Cuisi was so lucky as to advance into a supreme demon so quickly .
"… Master, devil's flying armor is an armor that allows the wearer to fly and only demons those more powerful can wear it . Imps and demonic spirits are not able to wear it . Devil's light armor can defend against divine spells and negative magic and is considered to be a heavy armor . Devil's rotten armor is an armor that can grow on the demon's body and need not be worn . It is extremely flexible and the wearer will not feel like he is wearing an armor . It also possesses strong self-healing abilities . "
Seeing how closely Saleen was listening, Nailisi continued, "Devil's purgatory armor is an enclosed armor . Even if the demon warrior fell into the purgatory dimension, he will not be affected at all . Devil's breaching armor can be worn by anyone with demon bloodline regardless of abilities . This type of armor is suitable for armies in battle . The demons wearing the armor will be able to instantly sense what their commanding officer's orders are and will be able to react immediately . Devil's emptiness armor is worn by high-level devils . It possesses strong resistance against physical attacks and powerful spells . A devil wearing this armor will still be able to cast his own demon spells . "
As Saleen listened to Nailisi elaborate about the characteristics of each devil armor, he was actually taken by surprise . He had thought that magic on the demon dimension was not advanced and so they would not have any special equipment . After hearing what Nailisi said, Saleen finally understood that demon dimension also contained an intelligent civilization . The nature of these six devil armors would still be extremely powerful in the human world .
The devil's breaching armor especially, the wearer would not be able to refuse the commanding officer's orders upon wearing it . Even if the commanding officer ordered the demons to fight against gods, they would still charge forward bravely .
With this armor, the demon army would be a courageous one with high morale all the time . His dream might come true after all . As long as Saleen had enough demons, he would stand a chance of reaching the glorious plains and destroy the Holy See's headquarters .
