Glenn nodded slowly. “What you said is correct, but the Elemental Hand said that you were the one who destroyed Pompeii City.”

 “And I am saying that the Elemental Hand did it. Who do you believe?”

 “I guess I’ll believe you, whether or not you have any evidence.” Glenn’s reply surprised Saleen. “Because I am very familiar with the Elemental Hand’s methods,” Glenn added.

 “Then who do you agree?” Saleen asked.

 “Destroying cities and killing civilians are never good things. Even I am able to understand that.”

 “That means that the Devil’s Horn still supports the Elemental Hand?”

 “It is far from support. The Devil’s Hand is on the seas, so we still require aid from the land. As a small island, what can we possibly do?”

 “Seize the city. Let the Elemental Hand become history.” Saleen tried to drive a wedge between them.

 “The large magic amplifier.” Glenn responded, stopping Saleen.

 Jason’s magic amplifier was small, and it already felt hopeless to go against it. What about a large one? When he went to Holy Rock City, Emperor Chanake had sounded the magic clock for his daughter, which had allowed Saleen to advance.

 The Devil’s Horn was definitely weaker than the Elemental Hand. Furthermore, the Elemental Hand was also in control of the magic amplifier. The Devil’s Horn had practically no chance of replacing the Elemental Hand. It was just that the Elemental’s Hand maritime power was weaker, and they did not want to waste any effort on the Devil’s Horn.

 The Devil’s Horn and Sreeger Island had some relations. Whenever either side needed to, they would oppose the Elemental Hand together. The magic amplifier was powerful, it was difficult to move. There were also many limitations in placing it, and it definitely could not be taken aboard a battleship.

 Thus the Devil’s Horn had no way to fight ashore, and the Elemental Hand could not control the sea.

 “Saleen, I have heard that you and Sreeger Island have a close relationship.” Glenn suddenly spoke.

 “Indeed, My teacher was born on Sreeger Island.”

 “Master Jason, the person I greatly respect.”

 “Mm, my teacher is a great mage,” Saleen replied.

 “Saleen, if you return to Sreeger Island, we may not be unable to cooperate.”

 Only then did Saleen understand what Glenn meant. Glenn was hoping that he would control Sreeger Island. The two islands could have a greater degree of cooperation. If they possessed the might of the Metatrin kingdom, opposing the Elemental Hand could be possible.

 “My apologies, but when we left, my teacher left all of the rights and authorities on Sreeger Island. I do not wish to go back.” Saleen rejected Glenn’s suggestion. “This is a mage’s commitment and will never change.”

 “In that case, could you provide me with some ore, so that I can go back and complete my mission?” Glenn’s words kept leaping back and forth, but Saleen was able to understand the thoughts underlying them.

 He shook his head. “Why? I need to know the reason.”

 “Have you heard of the Impregnable Wall of Bronze and Iron?” Glenn asked.

 “No.” He did not have a vast amount of knowledge, and most of what he knew was not related to equipment.

 “I’m sure you have seen Sreeger Island’s fortresses before.”

 Saleen nodded. On the fringes of Sreeger Island, there were vertical castle walls. They were extremely imposing, and not that much inferior when compared to those of the Imperial City of the Abyss.

 “The Devil’s Horn wants to smelt fortresses that are even sturdier than the Sreeger Island one to oppose Cloudflow. The Impregnable Wall of Bronze and Iron is a magical construct from another plane. The entire island will be protected by the metal fortress. No matter how powerful the enemy, it will be difficult for them to attack.”

 Saleen thought for a moment. “No matter how sturdy the fortress is, it can still be attacked. I don’t know what the Impregnable Wall of Bronze and Iron is, but perhaps it is a blueprint that was seized when the our predecessors went to war against other planes. Being able to seize the blueprint demonstrates that they attacked the Impregnable Wall of Bronze and Iron.”

 “That is correct. However the most powerful were level 18. Don’t even mention the Impregnable Wall of Bronze and Iron, even if it were the Crystal Wall system, they would have had a way to pierce through it. Whereas now, the most powerful person is merely at level 12.”

 Saleen thought about the level 13 guy shut in his Magical Element Tower.

 Glenn heaved a sigh. “Saleen, amongst the Cloudflow people, there are three grand dukes who are the most vicious. Even the Cloudflow imperial family had no way to control them. One of them is Grand Duke Iron Blood. Now he has already seized Lianyun City. When I came here this time, I also had to make a very long detour.”

 “Grand Duke Iron Blood is an interesting person. At least, he is more interesting than the Elemental Hand.” Saleen was not deluded by these words. To him, it was indeed the case that Grand Duke Iron Blood was easier to accept. Although both sides had hostile to one another, but there was no necessity to distinguish between life and death, and victory or loss. Alchemy City would definitely not allow him to introduce the faith of the Goddess. Even if it was only temporary, it would still not be allowed.

 If the Goddess were revived, Alchemy City would also fall into misfortune. Even if the Goddess fell again, it would still have an effect on Alchemy City’s prestige. It might even cause Alchemy City’s position to fall drastically.

 Glenn held some doubts. Saleen was completely different from what the reports had described. Saleen had refused to yield even an inch. Previously, when Saleen had negotiated with others, he would allow the other party some leeway.

 He did not know that when Saleen had gone to the Imperial City of the Abyss, he had received his teacher’s provocation. He was determined to progress and get as little aid from external sources as possible. He no longer wanted to negotiate and compromise.

 Since there was no way to resolve the conflict between him and the Elemental Hand, he would just leave it all on the surface and become enemies with them.

 Daliang City’s side would very quickly make their move. The Elemental Hand would not retreat willingly. However, there was a question of integrity. Daliang City and Alchemy City had signed a contract, so they could not go back on their word.

 Hence, Saleen wanted to make Alchemy City go back on their word. He had already secretly made his decision to look for Grand Duke Iron Blood and see if he could deal a heavy blow on Alchemy City.

 Alchemy City was dangerous. When there was not much need, they wanted to give up their allies or even sacrifice them. In Saleen’s view, it was better for an organization should be cleared up as quickly as possible.

 “Saleen, what if the Devil’s Horn cooperates with Metatrin City?”

 “Alone?”

 “Yes. My teacher has given me the authority to choose. If it is a solo cooperation, then the Elemental Hand can be cast aside. You will not need to look for Grand Duke Iron Blood.”

 “For the sake of what? Glenn, I do not lack anything. I have troops and mages. I have magic chords and minerals. I do not lack food or grain. There is enough for my kingdom to eat for dozens of years without planting a single seed. My kingdom has millions of mouths to feed. So tell me, why should I cooperate with the Devil’s Horn?”

 “I have come to purchase metal. I did not bring along a single gold coin or magic chord. I have only brought this.” Glenn retrieved a wooden box and placed it on the table.

 Saleen waved his hand, and the black box slid in front of him. He used his Elemental Eye to perform a quick scan. The box did not contain any traps and was not dangerous at all.

 Still, Saleen handed it to Nailisi, allowing her to open it.

 Nailisi handed the box to a demon beside her. The demon opened the box, and a golden light lit up the entire hall.

 Saleen saw a piece of a soft metal. There was a pattern of muscle that trembled slightly, releasing a golden glow.

 Saleen had seen liquid metal before, but this was between liquid and solid. Even if it was only a fragment, the energy it contained would still surpass any of the level 12 magic chords that Saleen had ever seen before.

 “What metal is this?” Saleen looked at the object in astonishment.

 “A heart fragment of the God of puppets. The Devil’s Horn completed collecting them, but we have no way to assemble them. I want to use all of the fragments to exchange for ore for 600 vessels. It is for the type of boat that we have in the harbor. We definitely do not need any space equipment,” Glenn said to Saleen.

 Saleen smiled. “I definitely do not have that much ore.”

 “The waters in the far north have been sealed off by Metatrin City’s battleships. I know that there are dozens of islands there. There is no need to excavate the mines on these islands for ore. They can be mined directly from the ground.”

 “Ahh, the Devil’s Horn has inquired very clearly.” Saleen’s tone was rigid and forbidding.

 “I am being sincere,” Glenn pointed at the box in Saleen’s hand. “This can be considered to be the first deposit, as long as you permit my vessels to go to one of the islands to mine and guarantee the safety of the vessel en route to the far north.

 “It seems like the God of puppets is worth a lot more than this.”

 “No, this object is something that was refined by humans. Whereas the ores, there is no way for those of us at the Devil’s Horn to transform them out of thin air. Do you know how many ores are needed for 600 vessels? Each large-scale merchant vessel can take up 100,000 cubic meters’ worth of materials.”

 Saleen thought that the ores that they wanted could not be all from one island. At the very least, based on the types needed, the ore would have to be taken from more than 20 of the islands. The islands close to the Frozen Sea had plenty. Saleen had already considered those as his own.

 The Devil’s Horn had probably also coveted them for a long time. If he was not able to control them, the islands would be seized.

 “Give me three daysand I will give you my answer. How about that? I need to discuss this matter with my teacher.” Saleen made an excuse, but did not return the heart fragment to Glenn. He accepted the deposit.

 “Then I will wait for three days.” Glenn saw that Saleen had accepted the deposit and smiled as he rose and took his leave. As long as Saleen accepted the item and he could live and get the islands, it would be very simple for them to seize the mineral veins in the future if they wanted to.

 The Devil’s Horn’s navy was not necessarily weaker than Metatrin’s. Ultimately, greed could not be wiped away from the human hearts.

 After Glenn and his mages left, Saleen laughed coldly and said to Nailisi, “transfer the Winged Skull back here and have the ancient battleships return and wait in the Frozen Sea. If they see the Devil’s Horn’s flying battleships, destroy them!”

 “Master, this isn’t good, right?” Although Nailisi said that, her expression was extremely excited. Master had finally decided to be vicious. He was no longer as indecisive as he was in the past.

 “Why isn’t it good? I think that the Devil’s Horn and the Elemental Hand are equally dirty. Their goal is to cheat me of the islands and seize my mineral veins. I will not allow them to get anything.”

 “But Master, you don’t want this?” Nailisi pointed at the wooden box in Saleen’s hands.
