Chapter 1666 Military Purchase Mission, Attached Mage Tower
In the study room.
Shado and Niya finished talking about what they had done during this period, including what they had seen during their trip to Everesca, what they had gained from the exchange meeting in Severton, the business of customizing magic items, and the secrets with the Lesen Territory.
Silver Supply Agreement.
Immediately afterwards, he asked about Niya's study situation during this period. Since his outing took a little longer than expected, the test papers he left for Niya must have been completed.
I just don’t know if Niya will study hard without the pressure of test papers and guidance.
"I have been very careful during this period. After finishing the test paper, I reviewed the previous wrong questions again. Just don't be surprised later!"
When Niya talked about her study situation, she was as excited as a child in her twenties. She found the test papers and the collection of wrong questions that she had done during the previous period and showed them to Xia Duo like a treasure.
Xia Duo saw that every recent test paper had been corrected. It seemed that Niya did not relax in her studies even if he was not around.
But without a master like him who can conduct big data analysis and pinpoint weak links, Niya can only learn aimlessly and mechanically like in the past.
Fortunately, now that Xia Duo is back, we can tailor the latest learning plan for her, truly teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
…
In the next two days, in addition to specifying a new study plan for Niya, Shado also assigned Depak a task to go to Everriska to purchase armaments.
Of course, this mission did not require him to deal with the elves alone. Xia Duo had already greeted the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce before returning to the southern border.
Although the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce does not have much business in Evereska, their experience in dealing with elves is far superior to that of Depak and even Shado himself.
With the help of the manager of the Minshui Chamber of Commerce, Sha Duo was not worried that De Parker could not complete the task.
Speaking of which, it was thanks to the Northland Alliance that they placed their headquarters in Everriska. Otherwise, Everriska would not be as honest as she is now, almost getting everything she wants.
Of course, during this period, Shado also received a message from Belera. The [Microscope] he had previously produced for Aldrin had received a strong response, and several arcanists in Kiran Tower wanted to customize the same one.
If someone wants to give money to someone, Xia Duo will naturally not refuse. In fact, he is more willing to accept a ready-made solution. If it has to be completely customized, then all the design and testing steps combined will be a waste of time.
…
On the fourth day of Xia Duo's return, time came to July quietly. On this day, he came to the blue crystal plane again, north of the Fish-Man Island.
It's been a while since I came here, and the Arcane Crystal Extractor once again accumulated a batch of Arcane Crystals. Shado roughly calculated the number of Arcana Crystals he currently had, and knew that it was almost time to start building a new [Mithra] device.
.
If there was no magic-limiting treaty, he would indeed do this, but the magic-limiting treaty takes precedence. Shado needs to quickly finish matters involving large-scale magic activities in the main plane before the treaty takes effect.
So as not to waste precious super magic shares and avoid being targeted by elves.
…
Returning to the water side, Xia Duo randomly selected a quiet water area far away from the Fish-Man Island and began to mark the casting nodes.
He had already designed the traction mage tower attached to the floating city. If it weren't for the magic restriction treaty, it should have been built after the main body of the floating city was completed.
Because the main design of the floating city may be adjusted in the future, moving the traction mage tower forward will be somewhat inappropriate.
Not to mention that this time, in order to complete all the parts involving large-scale magic activities before the magic restriction treaty comes into effect, it will cause a lot of unnecessary waste.
"Damn Elf!"
Xia Duo cursed secretly in his heart, but he still had to do what he had to do.
Soon, he marked all the casting nodes, and there were no surprises in the subsequent casting. He had built a floating city, so how could it be difficult for a small mage tower to accommodate him!
As the spell was completed, a sky-blue mage tower about sixty meters high suddenly appeared in the clear water. It was square and thick at the bottom, and became thinner as it went up, until the top became a spire.
Like an elongated pyramid.
This mage tower is made of the same material as the main body of the floating city. They are both "eternal stones" with special colors that are transformed from pure water.
The reason why it is called "Eternal Stone" is that the statues of Saluk witches and dragons in the ruins of Xia Duojian's territory have not deteriorated in any way after countless years, so they can be called "eternal".
Of course, if you hit it with a hammer, it can still be destroyed. Eternal stone does not mean that it cannot be destroyed, it just refers to its natural property of not easily deteriorating.
After the main body of the mage tower was completed, Sha Duo did not visit it. As a designer, he was very familiar with the conditions inside the tower. Since Niya was not there, he had no intention of visiting it.
After a brief check of the physical stability of the main material, Xia Duo found that the situation was not ideal. If it were "solidified" according to natural changes, it would take at least a week for the physical properties to be completely stable.
However, Xia Duo couldn't wait that long. He wanted to try artificial stabilization. The casting of the floating city's main body transformation was not easy. The casting time was calculated in hours. If he messed up, he would really feel like his mentality had collapsed.
But in this mage tower, although casting spells is more cumbersome than ordinary spells, it is not enough to calculate the casting time in hours. Even if it is messed up, it will only be another one.
Up to the current construction progress, no important information has been used, it is just some pure water, and there are so many blue crystal planes that it is more than enough to build dozens of floating cities, let alone a mere mage tower.
Single function, low cost, and simple construction are the main features of the traction mage tower attached to the floating city.
The construction is simple, not only reflected in the transformation of the main body, but also reflected in the arrangement of internal mithril components!
Of course, before that, Xia Duo still needs to stabilize it first.
…
Magical creations generally have only superficial appearance. As long as the magic is naturally dissipated, they will remain the same as before. If you want to be completely stable, the only way is deep transformation.
Specific to the attached traction mage tower of Xia Duo, it is nothing more than repeating the transformation process just now.
If you are lucky, you will succeed once; if you are not lucky, you may try two or three times, and you will succeed after three or five attempts at most.
After all, this kind of transformation spell obtained from ancient ruins performs better than ordinary transformation spells in terms of stabilizing physical properties.
Of course, if your luck is worse, it may cause distortion of the stone once repeated, which means all previous efforts will be wasted.
This reminded Xia Duo of an online game he played on Earth before traveling through time. There was a gameplay of using gems to strengthen the game. If you succeed once, you will be "strengthened +1". If you fail once, everything will be scrapped.
But fortunately, real-life spellcasting is basically still under Xia Duo's control. As for gem hunting in the game, it purely depends on the strength of the sickle used by the game manufacturer to cut leeks.
