In the next few days, Levi did not go out for adventure immediately, but stayed in Thorn Town.
Not only to strengthen the defense force of Thorn Town and wait for the Woking Church to build the mage tower, but also to make good use of the divinity given to him by Lilith.
Divinity not only contains her power, but also contains a lot of knowledge, which he cannot grasp immediately.
At the same time, he also had to spend time to learn the many magics he had copied before.
The results are indeed impressive. I don't know if it is because of his divinity, but his learning speed is much faster than when he was in school. He has completely mastered all the magic of copying.
At the same time, he also learned two new abilities from the fields and priesthoods mastered by Lilith.
One is the dispel magic in the magic field. Although it has the same name as the third-level magic, it comes from the power of her divinity and is far superior in effect. It can be considered a fifth-level magic.
The other is a divine apparition in the realm of honor.
This is a halo-type skill. Once activated, all friendly forces within a radius of 10 meters with him as the center will be protected, and all enemies who try to attack them will have a chance to be frightened.
If the enemy's strength is insufficient, they will not be able to launch any attacks in the next few seconds and can only choose to retreat or stand still.
After Li Wei's experiments, with his current strength, enemies at level 0-2 basically cannot attack him. There is about a 20% success rate against enemies at level 3, and level 4 and above.
It is basically difficult to take effect.
It can be said that if he could master this ability in advance, he probably would not have been besieged by countless phantoms before.
In addition, he can also say with great confidence that all the God-chosen heroes, as well as 99% of the aboriginal people, absolutely do not have more knowledge than he does.
This will become particularly useful when fighting enemies from the Abyss or Baator.
However, the Moon Bow Goddess has not given him a reward yet. It is impossible for her to break her promise because of this thing. The most likely possibility is that she has found more things in that demiplane, so she does not have the energy to reply to Li Wei for the time being.
.
During this period, Donna, Elegy and others also took the time to return to Pigherd Town and participate in the activities held by the big crocodile Sobek.
But probably because they have become routine, the consumption of monsters and rewards has greatly increased, so their level has also dropped a lot.
This made them run over excitedly at first, but soon came back slightly disappointed.
Levi couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that Sobek just wanted to have fun.
After all, as a god, if he looks at the battles below legendary level, no matter whether the opponent is level 15 or level 5, they are probably just novices fighting each other. There is not much difference, so he will naturally save it if he can.
While Zhou Miyin and other subordinates were guarding Thorn Town, they also cooperated with Woking Church to encircle and suppress the thieves of Mask Church.
During this process, both Zhang San and Shudun also put in a lot of effort. The combat effectiveness of the Mask Church has never been its strong point, so even though they were relatively weak, they were able to achieve good results.
At the same time, together with the three Amazon sisters, they captured many surrounding villages.
Now that Silver Town has been regained by the Woking Church, it is time for the village that was originally affiliated with the Cyric Church to make some changes, so as to further encircle and suppress the remaining power of the other party and prevent the other party from rising again.
Under Levi's orders, the Church of Sigmar and the knights from Bretonnia, which patrolled various sewers and some hidden corners every day, also made considerable gains.
They successively attacked the enemies who tried to sneak in, killing at least fifty or sixty thieves, as well as twice the number of vampires and other undead.
It seems that after the Cyric Church here was completely destroyed, the vampires immediately found their next home.
But it is a pity that there are only 2 families left in the 13th family, and they really cannot pose much of a threat to Thorn Town.
Li Wei naturally gave some awards to the knights for their contributions.
He gave the Church of Sigmar a portion of his wealth and allowed it to conduct missionary work in many nearby villages. This was undoubtedly a very good return for them.
The knights of Baator were all awarded some war horses, and now they were no longer forced to become dismounted knights.
Next, whether they continue to stay in Thorn Town to repay Li Wei and work to make money, or start a new adventure, it will be easier.
But when he saw those excited knights, Levi's mood was very subtle.
He really wanted to know if they would feel deceived when they learned that the Lady of the Lake they believed in was actually an elf goddess? How would they react?
After all, the entire Kingdom of Bator, all the nobles, and all the knights are all loyal believers of Lilith, and they have been instilled with knightly creeds such as loyalty and honor since childhood.
Lilith is playing such a big game now that she has been hiding it for thousands of years. Unless she has enough reasons, it may be difficult to end it in the end.
However, if there had been no Lilith, the Kingdom of Knights might not have been able to truly establish itself.
If it were not for the Holy Grail Knights who were born due to her blessing, it would not be able to still enjoy prestige despite the raging of various evil races and forces.
Although there is a little bit of deception, her help to the Knight Kingdom is undoubtedly very, very huge, and even the effort and strength she invests are far greater than those of the high elves.
It is said that the most common Holy Grail Knight is basically a heroic unit above level 15. After being blessed for thousands of years, how much power will this consume on her in total?
At the same time, Levi also hired the Black Finger of the Church of Doom to hunt down the thieves of the Mask Church.
Although the Black Fingers are not good people, they just use money to instruct them to bite dogs, and they can also express their goodwill to the Church of Doom.
Anyway, he is not short of money now.
Firstly, it was because after slaying those demons, he harvested a large amount of Batopia for smelting iron, and after selling it to the Woking Church, he received a large amount of gold coins.
In addition, in order to make up for the aftermath of the assassination, Della and the Waking Church showed high enough sincerity.
It didn't take even two days for her to claim that she had successfully cracked the dead ghost Zeff's space ring, which also happened to contain a large number of gems, magic materials, and a magic book recording the dissociation technique.
As for whether it was broken or not, both sides knew it well, but Li Wei did receive the other's goodwill.
Once he used it, he immediately mastered this level 6 powerful magic that could kill people, destroy corpses, and destroy most magic items.
At the same time, she also said that their Woking Church is willing to bear 50% of the cost of building the Mage Tower, and will also try its best to help Li Wei prosper business and trade in Thorn Town.
In this way, Li Wei suddenly had a lot more money.
At the same time, the surrounding wars are getting more and more intense. In the sea, believers and subordinates of many gods are fighting. It is said that due to frequent fighting, the sea water in many places is dyed red or blue.
The Dragon Prince also brought the high elves to prepare for the war, and the Lightcasters and others joined him, but they were not facing off against the dark elves. Because of the battle in the sea, it was impossible for the dark elves to start a war even if they wanted to for the time being.
Whether it is the dragon ship unique to the high elves or the black ark of the dark elves, it is still not enough in front of the real gods.
The Dragon Prince is mainly wary of the ogres.
Because more ogres began to emerge in the mountains, even many Cathay caravans were forced to temporarily stop in places such as Black Castle and Ash Ridge Town.
There are rumors that in the mountains, four famous ogre lords are at war with each other.
The four ogres are all powerful heroes at the legendary level.
Even if their personal strength and influence are strong or weak, a battle of this scale may even alarm the Cathay Celestial Empire and take action.
Naturally, the Dragon Prince cannot be ignored either.
He may be better than any ogre in a duel, but once he joins the battle, due to the nature of the ogres, he is more likely to be beaten by the opponent.
Therefore, he can only deploy a large army at the border, and then continue to sit back and watch, waiting for the war to turn around, or for the other party to decide the winner on their own.
There was not much movement in the Underdark. The Sun Knight, Qian Pi, Cai Jin and others joined forces, plus the support of the dwarves and shield dwarves. Not to mention defeating all directions, they were making great progress.
Centered on Oostark City and Glory of Blood, they have now occupied nearly 20 villages, large and small, and their power is developing rapidly.
It's a pity that they haven't been able to capture any towns yet. This is not entirely because they are not strong enough, but also because the evil aliens around them have a faint tendency to join forces.
In order to avoid irritating each other further and to find better opportunities, they fell silent for a while.
The melee between the Western greenskins, beasts and ratmen is still going on and is getting more intense. As a result, Chen Zui cannot effectively contact Li Wei in the last days. They can only exchange information on the forum.
But what makes Li Wei feel strange is that Chen Zhui of the End of the World has not found any information about the Wood Elves and the Moon Oracle until now. It is estimated that they may be hiding in the dark, sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers.
Today is the time when the Mage Tower in Thorn Town is actually completed.
Surrounded by many of his subordinates, Li Wei quickly walked towards a stone building that did not look gorgeous in the center of the town.
It is about 30 meters tall and has seven floors above ground.
The top layer is a positive energy pool, which can draw positive energy from other planes. Angels and the three major heavenly clans will not only feel very comfortable in it, but their strength will also be strengthened accordingly.
In addition to storing energy for later use, it can also condense some light element crystals, gems, etc. every week. It can be said that with it, it is equivalent to a stable resource-like god-given building.
The sixth level is the passage of the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind. The principle and use are roughly similar to the positive energy pool. The only difference is that their attributes are different. Levi can also summon the four elements through them.
In addition, the energy derived from each element channel can also be used for other matters.
For example, the fire element can be used for forging or barbecue, the earth element can be used to cultivate plants, the water element can be used for bathing, the wind element can be used to adjust the temperature, etc.
Yes, many of the magic spells used by mages are to free their hands and feet, for convenience, labor saving and comfort.
This kind of mage tower, which combines all these aspects, brings these aspects to the limit.
The fifth floor is specially used to arrange magic wards. It can arrange multiple different wards at the same time, but currently there are only anti-invisibility wards and camp detection wards. This is to prevent enemies from sneaking into the mage tower, which is also a mage.
Standard configuration of the tower.
And the flame magic barrier he obtained from the devils.
It is not usually used, but in the event of an emergency, the Mage Tower will mobilize all the stored energy to activate a powerful barrier to achieve the effect of weakening the opponent's magic and arrow attacks.
According to needs, he can freely control whether it only covers the mage tower, or covers the entire Thorn Town.
However, the larger the area covered, the more energy is consumed. According to the current situation, even if the mage tower stores energy for several months, it may be able to support it for a few hours after covering the entire town.
But if it only covers the mage tower, it can easily last for ten or eight days.
If Levi obtains a prohibition on flying, prohibition on teleportation or other protective barriers in the future, he can also place them here, but the energy consumption will also be greatly increased.
The fourth floor is the magic laboratory and library. Levi plans to fill it with some books in the future, and then open it to the old mage Tes, Sally, Alyssa, Janet, and even the spell-breaker Nochon, or Yaling
Autumn Wind and other legal units.
Let them improve their knowledge and abilities through continuous learning.
In normal times, the old mage can also make magic scrolls, brew potions, or make dragon tooth soldiers here.
Since the energy stored in the mage tower can be mobilized, his success rate and efficiency will be greatly enhanced.
Of course, if Cindy or Donna and others are interested, they can also travel unimpeded in the mage tower.
Unfortunately, Li Wei felt that the Mage Tower might not be of great use to them. Most of the power of ordinary priests came directly from the gods. It cannot be said that practicing or studying on their own was completely useless, but they often achieved half the result with twice the effort.
Cindy's profession is a variant of the Combat Priest. Apart from her natural psychic power, there are no other priest-like abilities to learn or improve.
Donna might be better off, Lara's Silver Girl can also use spells, and is somewhat similar to a druid, but unfortunately she doesn't really like to learn.
As for warrior types such as Elegy, you can also read books to increase your knowledge.
However, Levi feels that this is unlikely. Even when there is no war, Elegy will bring Alduin and other warriors together to fight in the martial arts field, constantly accumulating combat experience, perfecting her combat skills, etc.
At the same time, this layer also enhances the sound insulation effect and fire extinguishing effect, etc., to prevent any accidents in the magic experiment or being easily noticed by the outside world.
The third level is the Magic Garden, which is mainly prepared for druids like Janet and Nar. They can cultivate various plants here, and the environment here is also very suitable for the survival of various animals.
Donna and her big cats can also be temporarily stored here.
Similarly, it can also be used to grow various vegetables and grains.
Theoretically, if the owner of the Mage Tower wants to, he can stay in the Mage Tower for decades without leaving, because he can really achieve self-sufficiency.
The second floor is the meeting hall, guest rooms, etc. From now on, when Levi is in Thorn Town, he, Cindy, Donna and the others will live here.
Since there is a constant temperature system in the mage tower, which can be adjusted at any time according to personal needs, and it also has dust-free and sterilization effects, it is definitely much more comfortable than staying in a tavern or the like.
The first floor is the armory room and warehouse, which can be used to store various resources, but most of them are not that important. The really valuable parts will still be placed in their respective space rings.
The underground layer is a pool of negative energy. Although Li Wei's subordinates do not currently use dark or necromancy magic specifically, it is still indispensable as a mage tower.
And Levi felt that it would not be wasted. Whether it was Lucia, who had become a stable teammate, or Mardis, who he had certain expectations for, they would obviously be able to make full use of it.
The second underground floor is the prison, the summoning circle and the confinement circle.
Levi had previously mastered the Alien Oath and the Secondary Alien Oath. The effect was to form an alliance with some alien beings and fight side by side from then on.
There is also a similar magic, which is the otherworldly binding and the secondary alienating binding.
As the name suggests, he can summon some alien beings, and then use the power of magic to force the other party to obey his orders without the other party's consent.
The Sun Knight has helped him acquire these two magics, and he has also learned and mastered them.
From then on, with the help of the mage tower and the negative energy pool, he could summon some evil creatures that he could not summon originally.
The most common ones are of course demons, demons, undead creatures, and even monsters and monsters in Eastern countries such as Cathay, Nibon and Inda, which have many types and numbers.
Of course, Li Wei's purpose in summoning them was not to drive them, but to understand the strengths and weaknesses of more types of enemies, as well as their habits, etc.
There is a confinement circle, and they can't do much after they arrive. Do some research, and after a long experience, kill them to get experience points, and you can also use the waste.
It can also be used to cultivate some subordinates with high potential but relatively low current strength, such as Yaling-Qiu Feng, etc.
If you encounter a rare breed, you can temporarily imprison it in prison.
And there is no need to worry about encountering a strong enemy that he cannot resist, because the strength of the creatures summoned through these two magics has an upper limit.
The secondary alien oath can only summon up to level 5 troops. Even in a head-on battle, with Levi's current strength, he can easily summon a dozen of them.
The confinement circle can further weaken the opponent's power. In addition, when located in the mage tower, his mana limit, mana recovery speed, magic attack range, release speed and magic power will be essentially affected in many aspects.
If he leaps forward, he won't have to worry anymore.
Of course, there will also be soundproofing here to prevent the screams of the demons before they die from affecting the residents of the town.
As for the bottom three underground floors, Levi plans to place the structure here.
As a mage tower, of course it requires many servants driven by magic to clean, keep alert, carry supplies, fight when encountering enemies, and do other things within their capabilities.
But Levi doesn't yet have the ability to make them alone. He has never learned the relevant magic, so he will first purchase some through the Woking Church.
Not those heavy and stupid rock golems, but more delicate, often hollow, metal golems.
Maybe not all of them are humanoid in appearance. Some are brooms, specially used for cleaning, some are long swords, used to attack enemies, and so on.
Li Wei thought that when he had more time in the future, he would slowly make up for what he lacked.
At the same time, this is also for the purpose of alert and defense against alien races and enemies that may exist underground.
Although according to the Woking Church, the many archmages who built the Mage Tower, and the reconnaissance sent by Li Wei himself, there is no entrance to the Underdark underground and near the Town of Thorns.
The bottom of Thorn Town is pure solid earth and stone, and the bottom and surroundings of the Mage Tower are specially strengthened by magic. There are no sewers. Even if there is any garbage, it can be swallowed up by the negative energy pool, but he still has to be careful.
.
Because the threat from the Mask Church has not been completely eliminated, those thieves are quite wealthy.
Even though their current main enemy is the Church of Woking, if one day they suddenly get a headache and are willing to pay a huge price to cause trouble in the Mage Tower, those constructs will definitely teach them an unforgettable lesson.
Or at least they can serve as a warning.
In addition, the entire mage tower is equipped with protective magic from the inside out. Ordinary fossils are made of mud and the like, and they have no effect on it.
Because of the constant supply of energy from the element channel, it can also repair itself to a certain extent.
As for constant temperature, windproof and dust-free, etc., these are the most basic functions of all mage towers.
This is the Mage Tower. It is not a conventional building. It is the center for controlling magic and can also become an independent military fortress.
But there is one last step, which is to use a magic scroll to cast a powerful mutant magic for the entire mage tower, giving the mage tower independent wisdom.
Once the spell is successfully cast, it will have the ability to open doors, close windows, deploy structures to serve relevant personnel, mobilize magical energy to cooperate with the mage in experiments, and even lay out magic traps, etc.
This is also the greatest goodwill expressed by the Waking Church to Levi and the Kingdom of Caledor, because this mutant magic comes from the ninth-level magic - Construct Activation.
One can imagine how much power and wealth it takes to make it into a magic scroll. This is not even something that can be bought with just money.
Because those who can cast this magic must be at least level 18 mages, and those who can make it into scrolls are basically legendary level mages.
There is no need for ordinary mages to use this trick, but for the sake of perfection and to make up for the previous relationship with Li Wei, the Woking Church resolutely made such a decision.
It was precisely because of their actions that they completely won Li Wei's forgiveness and trust.
Who wouldn't want to be friends with such a rich man? What's more, they have no conflict of interest in the first place.
Under everyone's gaze, Levi activated the magic scroll, but there was a flicker of light. Nothing special happened, but a cute lolita sound sounded in Levi's heart.
"Master, the tower spirit is on standby, please give me orders~"
Levi suddenly smiled. With the Tower Spirit, once any stranger enters the Mage Tower, even if he doesn't notice it, it will immediately issue a warning and even take relevant actions.
Even if he goes out, it can also drive the guards of the Mage Tower, and even Tongzhou Zhou Miyin, Janet and others to come to his aid.
This is why this magic requires the use of scrolls.
Because once the spell is cast, the caster will become the master of the tower spirit and the mage tower. No mage is willing to borrow the hands of others in such a critical place.
Feeling the energy flowing rapidly on the mage tower, Archmage Sylvie couldn't help but sigh. An ordinary archmage might have to accumulate wealth for decades and build a mage tower for several more months, but there is still no such last step.
.
But now with the full support of the Waking Church, they have completed all of this very smoothly in just a few days, which is really touching.
Even as an Archmage, he is still not free in many aspects. Perhaps a legendary level expert can get a lot of improvements?
Li Wei didn't have time to pay attention to him, because he was the only archmage present.
In order to speed up the construction of the mage tower and bridge the gap between them as quickly as possible, Della and the Woking Church mobilized four archmages this time.
He is also preparing to obtain more magic from the other party, instead of focusing on the archmage who has been almost drained by him.
Yes, in the past few days, he has successfully hollowed out the opponent. At the cost of a large number of gold coins, he copied a variety of magic.
There are three at level 4, namely Ice Wall, Advanced Invisibility (the invisibility effect will not be removed even if you attack or suffer an attack), and Dalamar's Lightning Javelin (causing physical and lightning damage, 1 javelin every 5 levels).
.
These three magics are not particularly rare, but they are still a small supplement to Levi.
Then there are two level 5 magics, the banishment spell that can expel aliens or summon creatures, and the freezing fog spell that Li Wei values more.
The effect of Freezing Mist is similar to that of Ice Storm, but the appearance is different, and it emphasizes the slowing effect rather than the attack, and it can also block the enemy's sight.
But unfortunately, almost all mist-like magic has an unavoidable flaw, that is, it will be blown away by wind magic such as wind creation.
After figuring this out, Levi couldn't help but sigh. The other party was only at an inflated level, and his actual mastery of spells was far inferior to his own. No wonder he would work for the Woking Church.
No wonder he thought that as a mage, he couldn't blindly pursue highly lethal magic, because even if he wanted to pursue it, he didn't have it!
If there really was a head-on conflict, even if Cindy's level was much worse than his, there would still be a huge chance of defeating him.
Apart from anything else, it would be difficult for him to deal with her powerful angels. With their speed, it would be difficult for him to use the expulsion spell.
It's a pity that these new archmages are obviously not poor people. They politely and tactfully declined Li Wei's hints, and Li Wei could only let it go temporarily with great regret.
After a few more polite words with Della and reaffirming their agreement to help each other, she left with everyone.
It is true that some members of the Mask Church have been wiped out recently, but the high-ranking members are like mice. No trace has been found yet, and she continues to do this.
The previous actions of the three churches, Bane, Cyric and Mask, had a great impact on the business dealings in Silver Town and the reputation of their Waking church.
They must use each other's blood and death as revenge, so that the merchants can regain their confidence, and also to warn those who come after them not to offend the Waking Church again.
Li Wei gave him a brief farewell, and when he saw Archmage Sylvie also leaving silently, he didn't stay.
Although he hopes to have such a special person under his command, it is not necessary. This is also a two-way choice.
Now that the matter of the Mage Tower has been settled, what he is really concerned about is when the Moon Bow Goddess will reward him, and the information from Benn Church and Maltis.
They have also been on guard at the border for several days. They can't stay there forever, right?
