On the three-story octagonal platform, the original iron-colored matte castle disappeared and now became a special altar.
On the first level of the base, straight wooden stakes were driven down, with wooden poles connected horizontally at the top. Dozens of yellow wide cloths were hung down. From a distance, it looked more like a dyeing workshop. But these yellow ones
The broad cloth was covered with densely packed red runes, which looked extremely complicated. Even if you used "Language Proficiency", you could only read some meaningless jumbled sentences.
The second floor has a similar layout, except that it is all replaced by black cloth, with silver star patterns painted on the cloth. The wonderful combination pattern seems to contain some mysterious laws.
On the third level of the platform, there are eight special boilers that look like they are made of pure gold and glow with purple light. There are unquenchable flames burning in them, and they are placed quietly in the eight corners.
Such an altar filled with strong spiritual light does not have any statues of gods, or corresponding emblems, or totems. Except for eight weird boilers placed on the top floor, there is nothing else. Even if there is not even a guard,
People dare to break in rashly.
In fact, before the earthquake, the castle was blown to pieces without leaving any rubble. Doctor Olenso seemed to have no intention of rebuilding the castle, but instead transformed it into the special altar it is today, making it unclear what his intention was.
But anyone who knows a little bit about the situation in Chaihei Town, or is simply a spell caster, knows that Dr. Olanso has deployed an extremely large magic circle around Chaihei Town.
What effect does this magic circle have? Before anyone could ask, the magic spring immediately attracted the attention of all spellcasters.
Magic fountain is a special place where magic energy is highly enriched. It can be seen as miniature high magic areas, and it can provide the caster with a steady stream of magic energy, making it easy to make magic items.
"Get rich! Get rich!"
Theus was ecstatic, forcing himself to focus on his consciousness, and carefully manipulated a magic spring not far away in front of him. It was green steam that continuously spurted out from the seams in the ground, rising into the air and crackling with various colors of light.
The surrounding stones floated up like weightlessness, and then shattered into powder in the blink of an eye.
"Hurry! Get the energy-conducting copper pipe!" Titus has been doing various hand gestures and spells for an hour, and his cheeks and fingers are about to cramp. Thanks to him, he has been working hard on arcane geometry in order to build the mage tower these days.
Only after hard work did I persevere.
He directed his subordinates to build a simple energy storage device around the magic spring, like a star tracker with low accuracy, and then embedded the ordinary gems that had exhausted the magic energy into the orbit one by one, and watched them.
It rotates slowly driven by magical energy.
After repeatedly confirming that the energy-accumulating star tracker could withstand this magical spring, and that the energy-conducting copper tubes would not be turned into waste by the powerful energy in an instant, Theius wiped his sweat with confidence.
Looking at the gem that glowed with magic in the blink of an eye, Theus sat down on the ground and laughed loudly: "Hahaha - with this magic spring, I can have uninterrupted magic energy and build the mage tower.
The progress will be greatly accelerated. As long as you have the magic fountain firmly in your hands, it will be an endless source of wealth, and the High Mage will no longer be a dream!"
Theus is all too aware of the importance of magic springs. The biggest restriction faced by contemporary mages is actually not arcane theory, spell-casting technology, or school specialization, but how to have large-scale, long-term stable magic energy.
Even many imaginary advanced spells, and even legendary spells, have clearly been designed, but due to the fact that the input of magical energy is not long-lasting and powerful enough, the effect of the spells is reduced, or the spells simply fail to be cast.
From communication crystal towers to elemental plane portals, they are all the results of this kind of experiment. As for the magic spring, the mages have actually studied it thoroughly for a long time. To put it bluntly, it is an area where magic energy is active. The reasons for its formation are various, including the crater.
, deep in the sea, ancient tombs may form magic springs.
Magic spring is not necessarily literal. Magic energy spurts out like spring water. Sometimes it is in a state similar to a barrier or a field. However, the person who originally determined the name was the founding emperor of Greater Londinium.
, it is said that he once visited a holy spring filled with magical energy and was blessed by the lady in the lake, allowing him to stay young forever.
Naturally, there are also various descriptions of the casual friendship between the founding emperor and the lady in the lake in unofficial histories, and even the springs and lakes in the empire became places for men and women to socialize and socialize, which indirectly promoted the development of the tourism industry.
Even the image of Lady in the Lake has been promoted as the top girl in various celebrity clubs, high-end brothels, and luxury pubs. It was not until the past ten years that she was gradually replaced by the "Missile Queen".
When I think of the Missile Queen and the lady in the lake who usually comes with the "bath package", Theus feels like he's been hit by a "petrification spell" - so hard~
"Ahhh! I didn't expect that I could endure it for almost a year!" Theus scratched his hair and stood up, focusing his attention on the magic spring again.
Normally, a magic spring of the size in front of him would not be taken seriously by a legendary mage. But for a mid-level mage like Theus, who seems to have surpassed most of his fellow spellcasters, he is also in a different place.
The awkward position of being unable to move up. Not only must you obey the orders of the high mage, but you must also compete for resources and opportunities with the same people, and you must also try your best to steal from the people below.
Now, like Dr. Olenso, Theus cannot avoid this fate, so he values the magic spring more than anyone else, and must keep this precious resource that continues to increase in value in his own hands no matter what!
"Hey! Brother Titus, are you still busy here?"
A voice that made people get goosebumps came out. Tius turned his head and saw the fat city lord of Golden Tree City who was as fat as a pig.
Theus had already known about the arrival of the ruler of Golden Tree City and the bishop of the church. Unfortunately, they came to visit Dr. Olenso, so Theus could only turn a blind eye.
As a result, in the past few days after the magic circle was set up, people from Golden Tree City actually stayed here and refused to leave. Bishop Aibilite was fine, but the fat city lord kept looking around and wandering around.
He often comes to chat with Theus.
"No way, I'm busy." Theus stretched his body. Although the mage's body was not as sick and weak as some ignorant warriors said, it was indeed not that strong and tough.
The plump city lord looked over Thius's shoulder and looked at the star tracker that continuously absorbed magic energy and recharged the gems. His eyes shone brightly and said: "Brother Thius, you are awesome! You usually save hollow gems."
?”
The so-called hollow gems are the general term for gems that contain magical energy after they are consumed. These gems basically come from special mineral veins that are rich in magical energy, and are excellent materials for making magic items. However, when the magical energy in the gems is consumed
Once empty, it will turn into a hollow gem of average quality unless recharged.
But when it comes to charging hollow gems, there is basically a phenomenon that cannot be avoided, that is, the energy consumption often requires a larger capacity than the gem itself. For mages who need to operate it manually, it is better to spend money to buy new magic gems.
, or let your apprentices do hard work.
But now with the magic spring and the energy-charging star tracker, Thius can charge these hollow gems. Even if there is inevitably some additional loss in the process, it at least saves himself a lot of energy and time. And time is very important to the mage.
Everyone knows its importance.
"Fucking fat pig! You pretended to be stupid, but in the end, you can even identify the charging of gems at a glance!" Theus cursed in his heart. If it were in the past, this kind of guy would spy on the secrets of the mage, he would
He had already been beaten to ashes by the "Extremely Effective Dissociation Technique"... Hiss, the equipment on him is not bad. This kind of aura effect, are these all made by magic sticks?
Theus suddenly felt a sense of vigilance. Compared with the church god stick, the druid Lao Chai, and most witchcraft casters, the most outstanding ability of the mage is actually that he is good at making magic items. Especially the requirements for the use of magic items by the mage.
, reduced to a level unimaginable by previous generations.
A considerable number of arcane magic items made by mages can be basically mastered by ordinary people with proper training and some practice, except for some scrolls and specific equipment that require spellcasting ability.
As a result, the ability of the mage is not limited to the mage himself. He can expand his power by making magic items, and give his magic abilities to others through items, so as to control larger-scale benefits and distribution.
And in all of this, only the production of magic items can restrain the wizard, which is what Dr. Olanso once said - "The wizard suppresses other spellcasting systems through the powerful productivity of arcane magic."
But now it is discovered that the church magicians also know how to make magic items. Will they compete with mages in the future? You must know that these magicians are not good at anything else. Their ability to cure diseases and save people is indeed better than that of mages.
Huh? Treat illnesses and save people? Theus suddenly thought of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce. In fact, compared to making various types of Evergreen Clothing and Armor, the Chamber of Commerce's main business is now gradually leaning towards various medicines to treat injuries and illnesses, and even actively trains doctors and healers.
, stationed in other rural towns.
"So this is the reason why the Holy Church came to Firedui Town!" Tius suddenly cursed in his heart. He had previously thought that the Holy Church came to Firedui Town to punish Sir Salemi, so Tius
Si also deliberately planned to avoid it - anyway, the person who punched Salemi down was Wolf, so the blame can't be traced to me!
Now that I think about it, if an attack was really launched, with the relationship between Dr. Olenso and Wolf, and the news of setting up a large magic circle a few days ago, even someone who is as difficult to communicate with as Salemi would not have the guts to offend Olenso.
Doctor Lanso. Then the Church’s magician came to Chaidui Town for only one purpose—to cooperate!
Theus's mind was spinning rapidly. If the church's priests wanted to cooperate with Dr. Olanso, then there would definitely be great common interests in training doctors and healers. After all, the clergy of the Holy Lord Church are here.
For a long period of history, it has played the role of treating injuries and relieving pain.
Not every priest can become a clergyman such as a priest or an armed priest, but there are so many people in the church! Especially in the New World, even though colonial development is in full swing, ordinary colonists are also living a hard life. At this time
Even a magic stick who doesn't understand any miracles can still be regarded as a messenger of gods by colonial settlements.
But if these priests are allowed to receive medical teaching from the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce, and then travel to various parts of the New World as doctors and priests, especially to villages and towns that lack medical treatment and medicine, wouldn't they be able to dominate the faith of a place in an instant?
?Even if the city is as prosperous as the Dancing Fire City and there are many mages, wouldn't Dr. Olenso still be able to open an Evergreen Hospital there?
Theus was suddenly frightened by his own thoughts. If this were really the case, wouldn't the colonies that our mages worked hard to build in the New World have to be occupied by the church's magic sticks?!
"Dead fat pig, dead fat pig!" Theus looked at the fat city lord whose hands were full of rings. Now he no longer wanted to use the "Dissociation Technique", but planned to use the "Giant Transformation Technique" and "Bull Power" on himself.
", and then beat the fat city lord's face into a pig's head!
"Brother Theus? Why are you so stunned and silent?" The fat city lord looked like a profiteer, rubbing his hands repeatedly and said: "I heard from other mages that brother Theus is also good at designing clothes? To tell you the truth, we in Golden Tree City
Recently, we have also opened a chamber of commerce that specializes in making clothing... Haha, I won't compete with your Evergreen Chamber of Commerce for business. We mainly make high-end dresses and sell them to wealthy people on the coast."
"What? Do you look down on the armor of our Evergreen Chamber of Commerce?" Theus immediately retorted.
"No, no!" The fat city lord shook his pair of oily pig's trotters, "Well~ These days, the New World is influenced by the locals. When entering and leaving high-end social circles, you can't wear armor or mage robes like before, otherwise you will be laughed at.
, you don’t even have to do business~”
Theus curled his lips. The mainland of the empire was always more prosperous and prosperous than the New World. Half of the New World continued to deliver wealth and supplies to the local dignitaries, providing them with food, drink and entertainment. Of course, they had time to wear fancy dresses and socialize.
Friendship.
Thinking of this, Theus cursed in his heart: "Bah! Isn't it just a place for all kinds of exchanges and sex? In my 'pleasure goggles', there was a record of a banquet in the garden with three ladies.
It’s a one-on-one scene! Ah... I’m so envious, I’ve also wanted to live such a happy life~”
"I do have some drawings for clothing design." Titus said to the fat city lord: "I can cooperate with the city lord, but there are some things I want to know."
"Brother Thius, let's just say it, you and I will follow each other~" the fat city lord patted the other party's shoulder and said.
"I want to know the specific intentions of the Bishop of the Golden Tree City Church, and what arrangements the Holy Bishop Church has in the New World." Theus also patted the plump city lord on the shoulder with a sinister smile: "Don't brag in front of me.
The church was established in the city out of faith, and if you can identify the charged gems at a glance, the city owner must have spent a lot of time studying in the magic academy, right?"
