After Oripus left, Shado had no one to meet in Savile Town. After explaining to Mayor Thain, Shado began to arrange spells around the mage tower to avoid detection.
At the same time, Niya, who received his summons, immediately walked out of the nearby portal with some members who had entered the society, and began to be vigilant around them.
Of course, they came more to watch the process of Xia Duo connecting the magic network to this mage tower.
The whole process was silent, and there were no special lights, shadows, or movements. When the sky darkened completely, the onlookers who found it boring began to leave.
However, for the caster, under the magic vision, although it is impossible to see in the dark, everything about the magic network is clearly visible, and it does not affect the members of the Society from the Tower of Time.
For this reason, Xia Duo also deliberately slowed down the link speed. On the one hand, he was indeed a little tired after a busy day. On the other hand, it was purely for the convenience of members of the society to observe.
Although most of them may not be able to see the full picture of their operations now, Xia Duo believes that even if they can see it, it will be enough for them to gain something.
…
Soon, the time came to midnight.
Xia Duo hadn't finished yet, but he really couldn't hold on any longer, so he decisively paused and signaled Niya to take back all the members who had entered the society, while he stayed on.
After having a simple dinner and re-arranging some warning magic, he fell asleep in the guard camp next to the mage tower responsible for guarding the portal.
Early the next morning.
Not long after Sha Duo woke up, Niya walked out of the portal with breakfast. After Sha Duo finished her breakfast, members of the academy also appeared one after another.
Work continues!
Considering that today's workload was not small, after Xia Duo and Niya explained the situation, they opened the spiritual link. Under Xia Duo's command, the two of them jointly cast spells, and their work efficiency was greatly improved.
After being busy for a while, and being around last night, Niya had some understanding of the mage tower in front of her, which was different in shape from the traditional mage tower. At this time, she couldn't help but ask during the spiritual link:
"Xia Duo, why doesn't this mage tower have any means of attack?"
"Because it was not originally designed to be all-powerful or offensive. It is normal to have no attack means. It can be expanded and added later, and it can also be connected to the Tower of Time for remote support. Don't worry, there will be no situation where you will be beaten and unable to fight back."
In fact, even if this Mage Tower is completed, it will only complete its function as a pulling Mage Tower attached to the Floating City. If it is to be used as a normal Mage Tower as a learning and workplace, some internal modifications are still needed.
At least, the most important magic laboratory for mages cannot be left out, and secondly, the fixed portal that facilitates the exchange of personnel between the two wizard towers cannot be left out.
The current portal in Savile Town can only be regarded as a semi-permanent portal. Both the number of people and the frequency of teleportation are limited. In terms of maintenance costs, it far exceeds that of a permanent portal.
In addition, as Xia Duo just said, in order to prevent being beaten and unable to fight back, it is necessary to add attack methods or connect to the Tower of Time.
Finally, the space is expanded. This Mage Tower seems to be taller than the Tower of Time, but it becomes more and more tapered as it goes up. The inherent space inside is very limited. Without space expansion, it is estimated that it cannot accommodate many apprentices.
It's now July, and the Midsummer Festival enrollment plan at the end of the month is at least calculated in units of hundreds, which completely breaks the limits of the traditional mage tower.
The watchtower like the one on Watch Island can actually only accommodate single digits of high-level mage activities at the same time. Even if converted into apprentices, it can't be much more.
After all, when the number of apprentices increases, the energy consumption is no less than that of high-level mages. The other thing is the space capacity. There has not been space expansion there, even if it is filled with apprentices, it will not be much more.
…
Soon, the busy day passed.
This mage tower, temporarily named "Minaret No. 1", is nearly completed, and it will take half a day to finish.
However, the completion of this phase does not mean that you can rest, but it is the beginning of the next phase of more busy construction.
night.
After Xia Duo rushed all the members of the society back to the Tower of Time, he took out a specially converted large stone slab from his personal space, which was about twenty or thirty square meters.
Place it about a hundred meters above the No. 1 spire. Under the traction and anchoring functions of the spire, the stone slab stops steadily in mid-air.
Although Spire No. 1 has not been completely completed, its main functions have been started.
In Chateau's design, the spire needs to be pulled, anchored by a functional platform with an area at least twice the size of the current stone slab.
In addition, under the influence of the gradient gravity field diverging from the center of the floating city's sphere, the power required to pull and anchor such a platform is many times greater than the current stone slab.
Now this is just trivial.
The only difference is that if it is an ancillary functional platform of the floating city, the bottom should be the side away from the spire, but now, the bottom is pointing to the side of the spire.
However, this is also convenient for Xia Duo.
After placing the slate, Xia Duo placed the dining table and chairs on the slate one after another. After inviting Niya to sit down, Xia Duo stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the dining table.
The next moment, a regular circular mirror appeared between the two people, but neither of them saw each other's figure through the mirror. Instead, they saw in the mirror at the same time, the chef Cook of the territorial canteen was cooking.
It was so late, and there were still people staying in the territorial canteen. It was obviously Xia Duo's advance order.
Seeing that two dishes had been prepared on the food preparation table next to the stove, Xia Duo directly reached in and took them out. It seemed that he felt that the mirror was a bit unsightly, so Xia Duo moved it to the dining table with a wave of his hand.
This way, he and Nia can see each other.
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days. The night is just right. Let's celebrate that the new mage tower is about to be completed." Sha Duo raised his glass and said to Niya.
"Well, cheers!" Niya said this in Chinese.
In order to have more common language and a closer way of thinking with Niya, Sha Duo started teaching Niya the language of his hometown last year.
Up to now, Niya doesn't have many problems in daily conversation.
"cheers!"
Xia Duo took a sip of the elf fruit wine in the cup. It was the beginning of the month, and the bright and nearly full moon was reflected in the wine. When he drank it, he felt as if he was drinking the moonlight into his belly.
Although Chateau's wine has not been chilled, it actually feels like it is chilled.
And he wasn't the only one who felt this way. Niya just took a sip and exclaimed in surprise, "This wine-"
