Chapter 1492: Building the Foundation of the Witch Tower
Fire elemental plane, Molten Altar.
A huge portal filled with dark red light suddenly opened in the void.
It can be seen that this void portal is not stable. The fluctuations in the space above the light gate composed of fire elements are so clear and obvious that the constantly oscillating plane space can be felt from hundreds of miles away.
After a long time, the void portal finally stabilized, and Greem dragged the Dracolich prisoner across the light gate and returned to the molten altar.
"Welcome back, Master!" Sensing the fluctuations in the space, the Emberweb Spider Mother Lakobes and Brainbrain Sok, who were responsible for the specific affairs here, hurried to the light door to greet Greem.
"Take this bastard down and watch, don't let him escape..." Greem threw the Dracolich in his hand to the spider mother, then stood firm and began to carefully look at the molten altar in front of him.
At this moment, the Molten Altar has become a huge construction site.
Thousands of engineering magic machines are busy near the lava lake, transporting stones, magic materials, magic alloys and other materials. And more native creatures on the fire elemental plane are used as coolies to level the land and use volcanic rocks.
A temporary road was built leading directly to the center of the lava lake.
By the lava lake, a huge metal furnace was erected, and the thick black smoke spewed straight upward from the smoke outlet almost covered the entire Molten Altar Valley.
The magic iron ore from the camp outside the territory was put into it, and then, after a series of processes such as crushing, stirring, screening, quenching, and purification, it was turned into a magic iron alloy that could be used in the construction of the witch tower.
Metal pillars three meters thick and twenty meters long have been manufactured and are being piled densely by the lake, waiting for the magic lines and rune witch formations to be drawn and put into the lake as the base of the witch tower.
Since the location of this witch tower cannot be disclosed at will, these detailed tasks can only be completed by higher-level and more intelligent witchcraft puppets. Therefore, the progress of the project is not too fast.
According to the current advancement speed, it will probably take more than twenty years to completely complete this witch tower. Compared with the Silver Alliance, this speed is simply too slow, but for safety reasons, this can only be done.
After all, there are a large number of arcane wizards in the Silver Alliance, and the stones, magic materials and rune wizard arrays they use are semi-finished products that have been prepared in advance. And all they need to do is assemble these things at the tower location, and then
Just merge into a whole.
And if Greem wants to build a witch tower, each stone block, the magic patterns and witch formations on each door need to be carved bit by bit. Based on the scale of the witch tower he envisioned, the workload is so much that he can
Drive people crazy.
To be honest, if it weren't for the brain-brained Sok who could multi-task and control more than a dozen witchcraft puppets to draw the witchcraft array, the tower construction time would have been even longer.
Greem slowly scanned the entire construction site and basically grasped the general situation here. Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to plan, he finally nodded with satisfaction.
"How's it going? Is the project going smoothly? If you have any problems, please tell me. I'll solve them for you while I'm here!"
Hearing Greem's inquiry, Brainbrain Sok couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Master, the temperature of the lava lake here is too high. Ordinary engineering magic equipment will melt when it is dropped. Even specially prepared fire-resistant magic equipment will not be able to survive if it is dropped.
How long. So, now the construction site is in urgent need of a group of big guys who can move freely in the lava lake..."
"Oh?" Greem thought for a while. It seemed that only the Molten Giant in the Fire Elemental Plane matched Thok's description. The others were either too powerful or too few in number. Greem quickly turned to the Ember Web Spider Mother Lakobes.
, asked in a deep voice: "Is there a tribe of molten giants nearby? The best number of tribes is between two hundred and five hundred. In terms of strength... a level is enough!"
The Ember Web Spider Mother Lakobes thought for a moment and said softly: "I remember that about seven days' walk to the southeast from here, there is a tribe of molten giants there. There are probably more than 400 people, and the leader is a rank.
.”
"Well, that's them! Find someone to guide me, and I'll come back as soon as I go..."
He spoke without hesitation, and after a cup of tea, Greem set off with a first-class elite ember web spider.
Half a month later, Greem returned to the valley with a group of more than 400 tall molten giants. It can be seen that these molten giants range from large to small, including adults and juveniles. They should be
A relatively complete tribal group.
It's a pity that the 11-meter-high body of the leader's molten core giant is a little crooked, and there are obvious traces of external force on it. It seems that it was forcibly dismantled and then put back together again, and the energy aura revealed is all
Almost falling to the stratum level.
"Sock, this is the helper I got for you. Its name is Nasta. From now on, they will be responsible for completing the tower construction work in the lava lake! You must seize the time to urge them not to be lazy and strive to complete it as soon as possible!
"As soon as Greem came back, he assigned these molten giants to Thok.
Brainbrain Sok looked at the big guys standing next to each other behind Grim, and immediately smiled broadly.
The stones used to build the witch tower are often three to five meters square and weigh several tons. Ordinary flame creatures or engineering magic equipment cannot move it at all, let alone piling and piling the tower foundation at the bottom of a lava lake that is fifty or sixty meters deep.
Reinforcement work.
This kind of work, in this kind of environment, is impossible to carry out without a decent helper.
Now that we have the Molten Titan, everything can go according to plan!
Of course, while Greem was not paying attention, Brainbrain Sok also secretly pulled Nasta, the leader of the molten core giant, aside, and curiously asked about the process of 'recruiting' him.
Nasta almost told the painful story of how the man transformed into a 100-meter flame giant and pushed all the molten giant warriors to the ground and beat them up.
In particular, as the leader of the Molten Giant, Nasta's resistance was even more fierce, which made the opponent furious and dismantled his entire body into parts. If Nasta hadn't still had some brains, he would have done it as soon as possible.
I bowed my head and surrendered. I am afraid that the entire Molten Core tribe would be destroyed instantly in his anger.
Fire creatures actually have this advantage.
Although they usually have a violent temper and are violent, once they surrender, they become loyal and will never rebel. If they are unwilling to accept your rule, they will only challenge you face to face and decide their fate by winning or losing.
.And he will never engage in any conspiracy behind his back, let alone go against his will or engage in double-dealing.
Therefore, even though Greem's act of kidnapping and looting the Molten Titans was so crude, and he did not promise them any material benefits, the moment the Molten Titans lowered their heads, they had become the most loyal and resolute group of Greem's subordinates.
In the plane of fire element, whoever has the biggest fist is the king.
This... is the creed of power etched in the souls of all fire elemental creatures!
Simple, crude, but with a hint of cuteness...
The arrival of the Molten Giant brought hundreds more towering giants to the construction site.
The bodies of Molten Giants are not purely made of heterogeneous flames like other flame creatures. Their body shells are assembled from huge pieces of molten rock, and what is flowing inside is a temperature as high as nearly a thousand.
red magma.
Their special structure allows them to possess a strong physique and violent power that other low-level flame creatures do not have. They are perfect for being used as coolies!
All the molten core giants lifted up thick metal pillars and walked step by step into the lava lake. Soon, their bodies were swallowed up by the terrifying dark red and sticky magma.
In such a cruel and harsh environment, other magical creatures, and even those engineering magic machines made of high-fire-resistant magic alloys, could not work normally. But they moved freely like a fish in water. Not only were their bodies not burned by the magma, but they became
Gotta get more energetic.
At the bottom of a lava lake with a temperature of almost two thousand degrees, the molten giants stepped on some soft molten rocks and drove metal pillars engraved with magic runes and witch formations into the depths of the rock in specific directions.
Strangely enough, as soon as these metal pillars, which usually look inconspicuous, come into contact with the hot magma, the magic lines on the surface immediately light up one by one. An invisible magic force field dissipates, and the surrounding liquid lava
They were all pushed further away.
And when the 18 metal pillars were all in place in a ring shape, the magic force field they gathered together was constrained to take shape, opening a cavity nearly one mile in diameter in the center of the lava lake.
As soon as the cavity area appeared, a large number of engineering magic equipment that had been waiting outside for a long time swarmed in and started to get busy like swarms of ants.
With Greem's current status as a great wizard, it is natural that he would no longer use those cheap volcanic rocks when building a private witch tower. The stones piled up like a hill beside the lava lake are not ordinary goods, but are even in the fire elemental plane.
A very rare fire crystal.
Fire crystal is equivalent to the magic crystal in the wizarding world in the fire elemental plane, and it is a valuable high-end item.
But now, they have become the base material for Greem to build his own witch tower!
Pieces of fire crystals were thrown into the cavity of the lava lake, and the engineering magic machines were busy stacking them in specific directions and shapes. While building the tower, they carved inscriptions on the base of the tower.
Complex and mysterious magic lines and witchcraft runes.
Strong runes, defensive witch formations, energy nodes, energy transmission, control witch formations, magic circuits... Each fire crystal stone is a small magic circuit and a small energy node. And they are linked one by one, and
This formed an increasingly larger rune witch formation.
Etching rune line grooves, filling them with magic mithril with the best magic-guiding performance, and inlaying magic gems with different functions and efficiencies at key nodes... Such a huge and complicated work can only be done by tireless people.
Only engineering magic machines and fire creatures can do this.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid it would have been reduced to ashes without even being able to get close to the lava lake! (To be continued)
