Chapter 231 Purchasing Blueprints - Chapter 232 Construction of the Mage Tower
After enjoying a novel meal at the Forest House Hotel, two outsiders walked back to the streets of Musée Town with Seosuan. This time they came to the park and saw the benches set up outside but didn't know what they were for. It was not until some people who came to the park had done it that they realized that this was a setting for those who were tired of walking to rest.
So the two of them simply sat on an idle bench, observing the movements of pedestrians, and listening to people nearby talking about the hottest topics of Dalaran recently.[]
After a while, they heard what they were interested in.
"It seems that there is really an elf tribe here in Dalaran, and its strength is extraordinary!"
Another cloaked man nodded and said, "Looking at the truth is true, let's listen to where the elves they said live, and then go back to report after they have clearly discovered it!"
When the two outsiders quietly marched to the Green Cloak Forest based on the information they received from the residents of Dalaran, the lord Donald was completely unaware of it.
It is not a big mistake for the personnel of the intelligence department under his command. In fact, there have been too many outsiders dressed up like those two over the past few days. Most of them were spies sent by foreign nobles or certain forces to observe Dalaran's strength and situation. Since these spies were just looking at them, they did not pose a threat to Dalaran, so the intelligence personnel just sent people to pay attention and grasp the whereabouts of these people at any time and did not take the lead in the matter.
At this time, Donald was busy preparing for the next major event. The plan to build the mage tower mentioned earlier was ready to begin implementation.
At the beginning, he had a promise to build a mage tower for the three mages, Chris and Malf. Now that the conditions have been met, Donald described his thoughts with his teacher Messel.
After hearing this, the old mage thought for a while and nodded and said, "It's time to take advantage of the fact that all forces are still observing our actual situation. It's better to build the mage tower first. At that time, Dalaran has a mage tower in charge, and the Emerald Dream Islands have a legendary dragon. There is no need to worry about the security issues of the two territories!"
"Not bad! I have collected almost all kinds of magic materials, especially Mithril. With the last harvest from the underground world, I probably have more than enough to build two high-level mage towers. Now I only lack one drawing!"
The Mage Tower is not something that can be built casually, much more than a simple building built by a Mage.
The real mage tower must be designed and built using arcane drawings. It contains a complex and large mage building composed of various functional arcane arrays to form a whole. It can absorb abilities from various elemental planes, and even radiation, magic turbulence, and other mysterious forces in the universe can be used by the mage tower.
Although his sect has ancient heritage, Messel does not have drawings for building the Mage Tower. As far as he knows, the only drawing for building the Mage Tower of Celter has always been preserved in the Mage Tower of the Kingdom Mage Association, it takes an absolutely high price to obtain.
The old mage had long yearned for the mage tower, so he immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to the capital now and negotiate with the mage association. If it goes well, the drawings will be available in the next few days and we will start construction!"
Donald grabbed the teacher who was walking out.
"Teacher, you should go on an airship! The speed is not slow and saves mana. By the way, I will deliver the three airships ordered by the royal family. I will issue you a order. If the Mage Association agrees to the above conditions, you can confirm the transaction. If they want the lion to speak out, they don't have to pay attention to it. It's not the only one in this world who has the wizard tower drawings for sale!"
The old mage nodded in understanding, took the order handed over by Donald, and prepared to rush to the royal capital Kosovo.
The North County mages are on the edge of the kingdom territory and have never been able to build a mage tower. Even if masters like Messel gather the entire North County mage, they have no ability or conditions to build it. Only the king of the Selt has a high-level mage tower, and the others are elementary mage towers, which are much weaker.
It is said that the kingdom of the wizard
oThere is a country called Thousand Towers, because
oMage Tower in Linli Baron-level noble territory can usually build a primary mage tower. In some powerful mage lords, there are more than one mage towers in the entire kingdom. There are hundreds of thousands of mage towers of all sizes. It is said that a magic disaster hundreds of years ago showed a powerful demon in the legendary realm, leading tens of thousands of demons to invade.
oA hundred miles away from the forest, I also lost most of it.
It really has the powerful defense ability of the mage tower. The role of these mages is a solid fortress for the master, but to the invaders it is like a thorny turtle, which is really hateful. In the end, the demons had no choice but to turn to other human territories.
As a mage of alchemy and double-element silver, Messel is still not as good as a gold strongman who has already touched the law of mo, but he has surpassed most silver strongman and is an important figure like an alchemist. His help to the development of the kingdom's power is almost the same as that of ordinary gold strongman.
Originally, Donald thought that with his teacher coming forward, the Mage Association should give face. After all, the five giants of the Mage Association are not one mind. He offended only a few mages before, and there must be a true orthodox mage.
However, he underestimated the greed of the Mage Association. In order to obtain the drawings of the Mage Tower, he had already shown that he had discovered some ancient Mage heritage, and used mage items that were hard to find in the outside world, such as directional teleportation scrolls and gargoyle puppets as rewards. He even prepared a powerful horned eagle beast demon pet for the mage, with a total value of no less than 100,000 Jinsor, but the Mage Association was not satisfied.
Even if his teacher Messel was dealing with it, the senior executives of the Mage Association lowered a lot of requirements, but the required price was still not acceptable to Donald.
Those mages who were determined to fall into money also demanded the core technology of building alchemy airships and five young dragons as the price to pay the mage tower drawings.
"These greedy old widows will sooner or later establish a powerful mage organization and compare them!"
After the old mage came back, Donald got the specific negotiation situation and couldn't help but curse a few hatefully.
Since the Mage Association does not work, then you can only ask the teacher to go to the southern part of the mainland,
oLin or Gadre purchased the drawings and were both surviving the Bannai Empire. It is estimated that the other party would like to hear and see another increasingly powerful mage force in the human kingdom.
Just as the old wizard Messel was about to set off again to Layton Harbor and then sailed on a boat to sea, Ansel's contemporary wife, Princess Angela, came to visit suddenly.
The Ferdinand brother and sister left a few days ago. For some reason, the lady came to visit. After welcoming the Marquis into the lord's mansion, the other party told him what he wanted.
"I heard that Donald, you want to build a mage tower?"
The news that Donald was going to build a mage tower for his teacher has reached the upper class of the royal capital through the mouths of those mages. The Ansel family received news from the royal family that Donald was discussing with the mage association for the construction drawings of the mage tower.
Donald was not surprised that Ansel's family could get the news. He nodded naturally and said, "Yes, madam, now that the territory is in place, I have also advanced to gold. It is time to build a mage tower to enhance defense!"
Edwina looked at Donald with a fiery look. This young mage can be said to have grown up in her attention. Now she has grown to the level of a great master of gold in a flash. She still maintains the realm of the middle of silver and has not made much progress. She has long been yearning for the realm of the great master of gold, so she naturally needs to find an opportunity to ask Donald about her experience in breaking through the golden level.
But now we will handle the main business first.
"Our Ansel family also has a drawing for building a mage tower, which is only higher than the one in the mage association. Of course, the cost of the construction materials is also much higher. If you only plan to build an ordinary high mage tower, then you have to go
oLin or Gadre went to buy it!"
"really?"
"Of course I won't lie to you. This copy of our family is the original Arcane Tower drawing, not the later restructured mage tower!"
Donald was overjoyed when he heard this news.
You should know that the mage tower in later generations was just the basic control device on the highest achievement of the Great Arcane Empire in the Sky City, used to control the arcane arrays used to stabilize elements, amplify the power of spells and defend against attacks.
In addition to the core of Sky City, each Sky City has at least dozens of such buildings.
The descendants of the mage found the original shape and drawings of the mage tower from the fallen Sky City and other ancient arcane ruins, and changed some places where the magic level could not be reached at that time, so the mage tower exclusively built by the mages appeared.
The Ansel family also preserves this mage tower construction drawing, and it is different from the existing mage tower drawings with modified structures. This is the original drawing of the inheritance and the ancient arcane empire era. Although it is not the most advanced product, its value and significance are extraordinary.
By the way, these things were prepared for the high-level arcanes in the family at that time. As a follower family of the Great Arcane Lord, although the Ansel family is famous for its powerful swordsman heritage, there are always several members with the talent of the Arcane Lord in the family. The Great Arcane Lord is always willing to reward his loyal followers, so these remaining rewards became one of the powerful foundations of the Ansel family after a thousand years.
Chapter 232: Construction of the Mage Tower (there are 1,000 to 30,000 recommendation tickets, please support me!!)
Donald asked about the origin and difference between this drawing and the Mage Society.
"These two drawings are the collections of the Ansel and the Selt family. At that time, the royal family used their mage tower drawing modified by later generations as conditions, so that the ancestors of the five golden mages of the Mage Association were left in Selt, and made a vow to protect this land for two thousand years. Now the mage association's things are just making money with other people's things!"
The Marquis, the eldest princess of the Empire, spoke even more disdainful when she spoke.
"The other wizard kingdom
oLin had shared most of the ancient arcane materials, including the drawings of the wizard towers, for all the wizards in the kingdom with silver or above. They only needed to make contributions or make clear real price to obtain the corresponding materials. Although Gadre's knowledge was kept in the hands of the noble forces, it was also possible to obtain them at some cost. A drawing was just not an irreplaceable thing, and only the old stubborn people of the wizard association who were gradually degenerating were still stuck. It seems that they have been in the north for too long and have become used to being poor. They seized this opportunity to make a big profit."
"As for the difference between these two drawings, I wonder if Donald, you know about the type of the Mage Tower!"
Donald replied after hearing this: "I don't know much. I only know that in addition to the primary, medium and advanced mage towers, there are also arcane towers built by ancient arcaneists. As for the situation of arcane towers, I don't know much about it."
"Then I'll introduce it to you and it will be easy to understand!"
Edwina said: "The arcane towers built by the arcane are divided into ordinary types and urban types.
There are four categories: special type and ectopic type.”
"These types are distinguished by the choice of construction locations. Ordinary types are mage towers built in general wilderness, forest or desert terrain. This is the lowest cost among arcane towers except for urban ones, but it is also at least 50% higher than the mage towers designed later. However, the ability of the corresponding arcane tower is at least twice as high as that of ordinary high mage towers, so the cost of more huā is also very cost-effective! Donald nodded in agreement after hearing this. What he lacks the least now is funds and sufficient reserves of magic materials. If you want to build, you must build the best ones.
Next, Edwina said: "The cost of the city type is about 30% lower than that of the ordinary type. Although it is more powerful than the later mage towers, it is also limited. It is probably the least suitable place for mages to build towers in cities. Although this choice will get some benefits, the city mage tower is basically of no value in summoning powerful creatures or studying other plane knowledge, so I don't recommend you to choose this!"
"The above are the two types of mage towers contained in the drawing collected by our family. As for the more precious special and ectopic types, they are also top arcane creatures in the era of arcaneists. I am afraid that they can only exist in the remains."
"The so-called special type is to choose the construction location of the mage tower to places with abundant elemental energy on water, underground, volcano and even in the air. For example, a mage can build his mage tower on the slope of the crater and draw fire element energy from the volcano. When he wants to summon fire creatures in the tower, the spiritual energy around the tower will enable him to summon more powerful creatures to serve himself. The same is true for the spells related to the release of fire element. In addition to the basic arcane array, the construction material of the mage tower and the surrounding environment can make it gain many benefits, rewards and special abilities."
"The most valuable of this type of special mage tower is the Yunzhong Tower! This arcane tower built in the sky clouds is the legendary air fortress, which is the prototype of the sky city. With this air fortress, it is basically invincible in the main world. Unless an opponent at the level of the demigod comes to attack, even the legendary mage can only sigh at Yunxi!"
"As for the radial-type mage tower, you can guess by the name, it is to build the mage tower in a different plane, establish a stable teleportation channel with the main world, and can travel between two planes at any time. Even a powerful arcane can build the tower in a small semi-plane, and then control the mage tower, develop this semi-plane into a small world that is completely under his control, similar to the kingdom of the gods!"
After hearing these introductions, Donald thought about it for several times, and was extremely eager for the powerful feats that powerful arcane masters could achieve.
However, the powerful mage tower drawings behind him have disappeared, so he could only think about it in his heart and give up. He hoped that the Book of Truth would not disappoint him and could deduce more powerful functions through the drawings of Anser's family.
This is not the first time the Ansel family has been dealing with Donald. Whether it is for their friendship or the benefits the two transactions bring to each other, they are very at ease with each other, so Edwina directly brought the drawing.
The second biggest difference between the drawings of this arcane tower and the later mage tower is that each drawing is unique, and there is a ban from the arcane master at the door. After using it once, it will be completely transformed into the magic array of the mage tower. Of course, this ban can also be cracked. 1. However, even a true god-level existence needs some strength to crack it, otherwise the strong contact ban can only touch the self-destruction program.
Therefore, the drawings of the Arcane Tower are used for one less portion, which is much more valuable than those drawings of the Mage Tower that have been changed by wizards of past generations.
Finally, the two sides agreed to exchange the drawings of this Arcane Tower at the cost of three directional teleportation scrolls, five pairs of tamed horned eagles, fifteen gargoyles alchemy puppets, and ten bottles of moonlight elf wine that can increase the spiritual potential of the mage.
In the eyes of outsiders, the value of what Donald paid is at least more than 100,000 gold sor, and they are rare treasures that cannot be bought outside. What is particularly rare is the rare magic pet like the Horned Eagle Beast, which is hard to find, and the alchemy puppet with unlimited lifespans and can be passed down from generation to generation.
However, for Donald, he only paid 1,400 units of spiritual power and less than a drop of divine power.
"The drawings have been handed over to you. I need to escort these things back to the family arrangement as soon as possible, so I won't leave them for you!"
Donald was in a good mood after the transaction was completed and said with a smile: "Madam, you must stay for a few more days next time. It's either I brag about it. Now the environment in Dalaran is one of the best in the entire continent. It has a comfortable environment that is not available in the three major manors of the Kingdom. Some convenient facilities are very suitable for us mages, let alone ordinary people!"
"Okay! It must! Your stone road is well built. Our Marquis will learn from you in the future! Then there are so many mages in your territory, so you will have to send a few to help!"
When I came, Edwina also looked at the changes in Dalaran. As an ally without a formal agreement, Ansel Family Business is always paying attention to Donald's situation, so he naturally knows Dalaran's current reputation.
However, the Ansel family, the strongest large family of the military, is not concerned with various living facilities, but the smooth stone roads of Dalaran.
It’s not that the upper class of Celter did not want to build such a road, but that this era did not have the modern machinery and equipment and materials in Donald’s previous life. A few kilometers of sand and gravel road would take at least half a year to build by thousands of workers.
The wide and flat roads have a great impact on military operations. If the entire Celtic is a road as good as Dalaran, then if there is any problem at any border, the nearby kingdom army can mobilize it within half a day.
Unfortunately, such a large project requires at least hundreds of mages with more than silver. I am afraid that the entire kingdom will not be able to make up this number. Even if there are enough mages willing to join, they do not have the power of free laborers such as the mountain giants and alchemy puppets of Dalaran. Moreover, the project is too large and it will inevitably cause trouble for the people and money.
After getting the drawings, Donald began to choose the location of the Mage Tower and prepare the basic materials.
However, before the construction begins, Donald still has to hand over the drawings to the Book of Truth to scan to see if it can be cracked.
The Book of Truth did not disappoint Donald, and soon entered the deduction state. After about a day and a night of time, the complete drawings were cracked and all scanned and stored.
The more powerful the advanced artifact can be replicated with a completely unique drawing at any time, and even outside the main body of the Mage Tower, some other accessories and buildings can be directly realized in the creation factory.
This undoubtedly greatly facilitates the construction of the Mage Tower.
After scanning, Donald picked up the drawing and looked at it.
The contents of the thick dozen or so-called lambskin drawings are as responsible as those of the architectural engineering drawings in their previous lives. They not only include arcane geometry, energy absorption arrays, summoning arrays, oath-binding arrays in other worlds, element pools of affiliated building devices, design drawings of Arcane Huā Garden, and even mechanical devices and trap mechanisms that do not know how to use magic.
In short, after reading a few pictures, Donald felt dizzy and had to call all the mages to cooperate with the analysis and allocate the attached drawings to individuals. Only in this way can the analysis of the drawings be accelerated.
Although the function of the Mage Tower is magical and powerful, it also needs to be built brick by brick like ordinary houses. The basic materials are made of a kind of stone called white stone produced in the middle of the kingdom.
To Donald, this kind of stone looks very much like the jade rough stone from his previous life. It is the waste gas stone when mining elemental crystals. However, because of its strength and whiteness, it also has some faint elemental energy and high elemental affinity, it is very popular among mages and nobles. It is a high-end building material worth ten times more than ordinary mountain stones.
What Donald likes to be White Stone's elemental affinity and a genus that can store a small amount of elemental energy. It is said that the arcane towers in the sky city of ancient arcanes were all made of precious philosopher stones. At that time, almost all the philosopher stones from the main world were collected, and many powerful arcanes crossed space to collect materials.
Although Shiraishi is far from comparable to the extinct magic stone, its reserves are relatively abundant, and it is also the most suitable choice now.
At worst, you can use other precious materials to strengthen the abilities of the mage tower!
Chapter completed!
