Chapter 458: There is a pre-determined freedom of choice
"When it comes to rewards for merit, they are indispensable." Sean laughed and said, "Since the Academy of Arts has already participated, Mr. Ferdinand must have dealt with those little guys. How about it? Is there any construction inside?
Emerging in the field? Or rather interested? Mr. Ferdinand, would you like to accept a sorcerer as a disciple?"
"Accept a warlock as a disciple?" This time it was Ferdinand's turn to look shocked and stammered, "What does the Lord mean, is that you want me to choose one of those warlock apprentices as an apprentice to learn building construction?
"
"That's right." Sean replied in the affirmative, "Mr. Ferdinand must have experienced this inconvenience when he built the mage tower before, right? Especially when it comes to magic?"
"Indeed." Ferdinand nodded in agreement. "My biggest flaw is my inability to sense the energy of magic, because it is difficult for me to experience your unique feeling. Only in the hands of a warlock can these buildings be brought into full play."
"Powerful, if it weren't for the teachers and students from the Academy of Arts here this time, I wouldn't have had to call the lord all the way back every time to make various attempts to find the best one."
"This time there are teachers and students from the School of Art. What about next time? There will be more and more buildings of this type. Not to mention far away, there are three in the planning. All kinds of buildings here.
As soon as the test is over, construction will begin there. You can't just temporarily second people every time!" Sean said with a long-term view, "If there is a warlock apprentice with you, this aspect will be a lot more convenient, not to mention similar projects in the future.
Wouldn't it be simpler to leave it to a warlock who is proficient in architecture?"
"Well... I think so, but it would be too unfair to let a warlock engage in architecture!" Ferdinand looked hesitant.
The reason why he never dared to think about this aspect before is because in his mind, warlocks are superior and have nothing to do with architecture. Even though he is building a mage tower now, he does not dare to think of it.
"Mr. Ferdinand underestimates his own skills. This is definitely a profound knowledge, especially the magic architecture combined with the power of magic. Its importance to military leaders is far beyond your imagination." Sean only said.
Can lament that sometimes Ferdinand's thinking is very open and radiant, but sometimes he is restricted by his own ideas. "Mr. Ferdinand has never thought that one day he will preside over the construction of an energy reaction chamber? When we can build energy by ourselves,
When in the reaction chamber, what does it mean? Do you need me to explain it to Ferdinand?"
"Build your own energy reaction chamber?" Ferdinand repeated to himself with dull eyes.
What does it mean when you can build your own energy reaction chamber?
This means that with such a mage tower, they can plant every inch of land controlled by the Yongye Army Leader.
This means that as long as there is an energy reaction chamber, it will gradually become similar to the northern fortress and become an area covered with high-concentration magic energy.
It represents many unique things in the Northern Fortress and can be popularized on a large scale.
What he just thought about was only the shallowest surface, and he no longer dared to think about the deeper things, because by then the whole world would become extremely strange.
"At that time, did you still feel that you were an incompetent person?" Sean smiled and said, "When I have time, I will personally accompany you to the Academy of Arts, and I will allow you to choose two students as students, specializing in this area, and give you ten years
, you must let them surpass you as a teacher."
"Two?!" Ferdinand's eyes started to glow green. Unexpectedly, Sean was not only planning to instigate the warlock to be his apprentice, but also two of them. He couldn't wait to say, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"This Mage Tower can't just introduce half of it and then it's over? I've been waiting for this for half a year." Sean said angrily, "You can't just grab the strong men in this matter. At least follow their personal opinions to a certain extent. Look.
It depends on whether they are interested in this aspect. If they are not interested, we will force them to come and train them. It will be half the result with twice the result. It is better to keep silent for the time being. Mr. Ferdinand will have more contact with them, explore their background, and select them.
After the seedlings appear, it won’t be too late for me to show up again.”
The Warlock Academy of the Eternal Night Army also implements a military control system. Every student in it will be forcibly recruited from the day they awaken and have the status of the Eternal Night Army Leader.
Responsibility and welfare basically coexist.
From that day on, their food, clothing, education, and everything else will be paid for by the Yongye Army Leader. Their families, including their families, will also enjoy benefits and will be assigned to the most favorable positions by the Yongye Army Leader.
The responsibility is to dedicate oneself to the Yongye Army Leader and obey the dispatch and arrangements of the territory.
From the day they were born in the Eternal Night Army, everything was doomed, and they had no choice at all.
Of course, the policies given by the Yongye Army Leader in this regard are sufficiently favorable. Many families are holding back their strength and want to give birth to a child who can awaken, thereby changing the fate of their offspring and their family!
How is it possible that there is an awakened person in the family who is still hiding and hiding him, and then goes to seek refuge with others after having a good life?
This is not the time when the Andis people were still weak and forced the awakened warlocks to leave the mountain.
Those students from the Warlock Academy wanted to be assigned to Ferdinand, but it was just a matter of Sean saying something.
However, before taking coercive measures, Sean still likes to ask the parties for their opinions before making a decision.
This is called preemptive freedom of choice.
It sounds hypocritical, but this method can sometimes win people's hearts.
After all, the general environment is dominated by authoritarianism. This kind of pre-emptive freedom of choice at least seems to be more relaxed and humane.
"I'm impatient. Listen to your lord." Ferdinand smiled sheepishly and said, "Let's continue talking about this mage tower. Let me study the apprentices carefully and see who can walk better on it.
It’s never too late.”
"That's right, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since I have promised you, I will definitely not be able to run away. You can choose slowly. Maybe there will be more than two warlock apprentices assigned to you by then." Sean changed the topic back to
On top of the mage tower, he said, "Of your three tower structures, one is our pre-perception enhancement, the other should be a large-scale thunderstorm, what is the last one?"
"Yunmist." Ferdinand did not show off and answered directly, "The legendary mage tower is both offensive and defensive. Although ours is a simple version, if conditions permit, it still has what it should have. In terms of perception, there is a perception tower.
There is a thunder tower for attack, but the defense tower is missing. Among the many magic circuits, I think this cloud is the most suitable. After turning it on, it can not only put yourself in the fog of war, but also add a sense of mystery to yourself.
.”
"Mr. Ferdinand is really thoughtful. I can't wait to try it." Sean looked eager to try.
As soon as Ferdinand said it, he knew which magic circuit it was.
Among Shawn's soul beast cards is one that is rarely used - Mist Breathing Mirage Python.
Firstly, this beast card is too unique. It has the walking mode of a giant python. Even now, Sean is a little unable to accept it. His whole body is crawling on the ground. Even in the soul state, he is numb and his whole body is numb.
Like goosebumps.
Secondly, the ability of this soul beast card is too special, as you can tell from the name. What it is best at is spitting out a kind of mist with a certain hallucinogenic effect.
Once this kind of fog is spit out, it will remain for a long time, but the formation speed is relatively slow.
The mist-breathing mirage python in its biological state is an out-and-out homebody. After it is born, once it finds a suitable place to live, it will basically not move or fall over again. When the time comes, there is no need to deliberately spit mist, as it will carry it in its breath.
, as it grows into adulthood, the mist it spits out will cover tens or even hundreds of kilometers of swamps or forests, which will become its hunting area.
Here it is the supreme hunter, and many beings with greater individual strength than it can easily fall into the illusion and become unable to extricate themselves, eventually becoming food in its belly.
This technique is an excellent choice for fixed-point defense, and there is no need to worry about its hallucinogenic effects.
There is a certain difference between the enchantment-like spell and biological instinct. It basically becomes a stable energy output device. As long as the energy of the spell used is enough, the size of the cloud and mist is completely controlled by the wizard tower.
who.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the mage tower.
When you are close at hand, you can feel its grandeur and height even more.
Although in his previous life, Sean had seen various steel forests and skyscrapers several times taller than this, he had also seen many.
But it feels really different now.
Not just for its functions, but also because this giant tower belongs to him, and this is just the beginning.
The internal structure of this giant tower is slightly narrower than the majestic and tall appearance.
First of all, the multi-angular and multi-faceted structure will take up a lot of internal space.
Secondly, the wall is thick enough, and the bottom structure is as thick as a city wall, which is two meters long. It is made of various jade raw stones.
This is not done purely for the purpose of pursuing firmness, it is just incidental, and it is mainly to increase the use of raw jade.
Sean once mentioned to Ferdinand that the raw jade stone has the ability to store magic energy. He kept it in mind and tried every means to increase its usage.
After all, this is not a pavilion in the ordinary sense. The function is far more important than the living needs.
Although this tower is much taller than when originally designed, the interior is still divided into nine floors. The staircase is located in the middle and spirals up along a pillar that is thick enough for three or four people to hold.
This time, there was no need for Chief Engineer Ferdinand to explain. Sean also guessed the origin of the pillar, which was an energy transmission pipe made of raw jade stones.
The three towers and three magic circuits are actually one energy transmission pipeline, a trinity in the true sense.
Ferdinand brought many surprises to Sean this time.
The main control room of the giant tower is placed on the top floor.
It's not so much a console as it is a seat made of jade.
No wonder Marshall was like a mouse seeing a cat every time he saw Ferdinand. It was a miser who was frightened when he saw a money maniac.
The jade ore invested in this improved version of the giant tower was more than ten times more than budgeted.
Fortunately, the Yongye Army has its own jade mine, otherwise it would be impossible to get these materials alone without tens of millions.
This is not construction at all, it is just a pile of money.
If the experimental results are not as expected and the reconstruction is overturned, even Sean, who has always had a relatively big heart, will probably scratch his liver and lungs in distress.
Ferdinand was a little too angry this time and was still pursuing the goal in one step without considering the serious consequences of failure.
Since the matter has already happened, it is useless to talk about it, and even if he knew it beforehand, Sean would choose to do this.
This is the price that must be paid on the journey of exploration. If you are not willing to pay even this price, then don't take the path of magic. The road ahead is full of unknowns shrouded in fog.
Sean nodded and signaled to Ferdinand, then sat on the jade chair. The mysterious feeling of the activation of the perception tower did not appear.
Sean turned to look at Ferdinand and said: "It seems different from the normal magic activation switch. What new tricks did you play this time? Where is the activation switch?"
Ferdinand patted his forehead and said: "I'm sorry, Lord, you have forgotten this important thing. On your left hand side, there is a lifting mechanism, pull it hard, wait a moment, no matter what happens,
Lords don’t need to be surprised, it was just a normal mechanism activated, and we have repeatedly verified its safety..."
Before Ferdinand could finish speaking, Sean had already pulled hard on the lifting mechanism on the left side.
Click! Click! Click!
There was a sound of mechanical gears turning.
The jade chair that Sean was sitting on, together with the surrounding ground, sank to the ground at a uniform speed.
Even without Ferdinand's explanation, Sean wouldn't be surprised at all. After all, it's just a small mechanical transmission mechanism.
Sean looked at everything around him with interest to see what new and unique tricks his craftsmen had come up with.
After the jade chair landed, a sealed mezzanine appeared in front of Sean.
The space of this sealed mezzanine is not large, only twenty square meters, and it becomes even more narrow after the huge jade chair is placed in the middle.
There is no doubt that the surrounding space was filled with raw jade stones, pieced together into a magic circuit, and finally gathered at Sean's feet.
In other words, this jade seat is the activation switch of the entire mage tower.
This is indeed a very clever design.
Sean had no time to sigh about this, because the torrent of magical energy had already arrived.
Compared with the energy flow of spells on the original perception enhancement tower, it was not on the same level at all.
If we compare it to a river, what is on this giant tower is the rushing Jacob River, the kind that has just resumed its flow, but Sean is sitting on the cusp of the storm, directly affected by this materialized energy flow.
He squirted and stood up from his seat.
But just a few millimeters away from the jade chair, he was sucked back by the strong suction force above, because the power of the magic had begun to integrate into his body, treating him as part of the entire magic circuit cycle.
Cackling!
Boom!
Buzz!
Various sounds that seemed both real and illusory echoed in Sean's mind.
Cackling!
That was the groan of his body under the impact of the torrent of magical energy.
Both Sean and Ferdinand were blindly pursuing the size of the mage tower, and the original single tower structure became a three-tower structure.
The energy output pipeline is too thin to limit the energy output speed per unit time.
Raw jade ore, lest it be used too little and limit the upper limit of the spell's energy storage.
During the construction process, fearing that the technology would be too weak, the Yong Ye Army Leader used all the latest black technologies.
Various results led to their unprecedented success in building the tower this time. The power of the Trisolaris Mage Tower far exceeded Sean's imagination.
But they only forget to consider one thing: does the operator's ability match it?
Sean's painful look now shows that the answer is no.
The surging magical energy was not even a little bit beyond the capacity of Sean's body. The gurgling sound was the groan of every inch of his bones and every cell, as they were being crushed and torn apart by the huge energy.
But Sean's consciousness has entered an unprecedented state.
It felt like I had been using a low-end computer, the kind that took minutes to boot, and suddenly upgraded it to a top-end computer that not only had a solid-state drive, a discrete graphics card, but also a water-cooling system.
Sean felt that his thinking had never been so clear and his consciousness had never been so clear as now.
