When Qingyi went online, he found that the Mage Tower had already been built, and it was built behind the City Lord's Mansion (now it should be called the Imperial Palace), which was far away from the city center and was undisturbed on weekdays. The tower is twenty-five meters high, the whole is white, the window is decorated with black stone slabs, and there are many black frames at a glance; It is thicker at the top and bottom and slender in the middle, like a fair girl showing off her small waist. The scattered soul fires were attracted and swirled around it.

(Xue Duo: "Doesn't anyone think it's like a thigh bone?") Oh, come on, come on, look at it from this angle. ”）

Mage Tower: A place for distinguished magicians to rest and study, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. In the tower, the effect of Magician [Meditation] is doubled, and the additional attribute is temporarily increased by 5%. When under martial law, gain [Magic Bullet]. Mana storage capacity of 7000 standard units. Increases the prosperity of the city by 20 and the popularity of the people by 30. When the city has more than 5 mage towers at the same time, a "magic magnetic field" is formed, and the attributes of each mage tower will receive a bonus of *3% of the total number, up to a maximum of 27% (at this time, the mages temporarily gain an additional skill [Mana Transmission]). Requires 15 units of white marble, 15 units of black marble, 5 kilograms of mythril, a mana reservoir of intermediate or higher power, and a magician. A tower can only hold one mage. The right to use and ownership of the mage's tower belongs to the magician, and the state cannot tax it.

Extraordinary Effect: Due to the difference in building materials, the building attributes have been corrected. In the tower, the effect of Meditation is doubled, and the additional stat is temporarily increased by 10%. While under "Martial Law", gain [Arcane Ray]. Mana storage capacity of 20,000 standard units. 〗

The Mage Tower is a branch of the tower, dedicated to the residence of the Master Mage, but it was the first time that the humble Diesel had his own Mage Tower. He looked up, his lips twitching, his eyes blank, as if he wasn't fully convinced: "I...... This mage tower is mine? I also have a mage tower? How could I have ......"

Qingyi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be a fool, let's go, take me around!" ”

There are many types of branch buildings of the towers, and because of the height, stairs must be provided, such as the arrow tower attached to the castle, which has a spiral staircase. However, the Mage Tower is different in that there are no stairs inside, only a lifting platform powered by magic. By pouring mana into the platform's mana reservoir, the mage can control the platform's take-off and landing speed as he wishes. On the floor of the platform, there is a magic circle accurate to the millimeter, and the lines are made of Mithril, which is glittering, noble and beautiful.

When he saw the magic storage, Diesel was even more dumbfounded, with his knowledge, he couldn't tell what the floating triangular crystal pillar was. The Mana Reservoir is a favorite item for magicians to store mana, and having it is equivalent to increasing the maximum amount of mana. It sounds mysterious, but crystals are natural magic reservoirs. The materials required by the mage tower are intermediate or above magic power storage, Qingyi has a lot of money, and he put a whole "triangular diamond" that only three-edged worms burst out here as a decoration, which is a special material that is a little higher than the high-grade material, so the mage tower has an extraordinary effect.

When Diesel pressed his hand on the "triangular diamond", he was shocked again: "What a large amount of storage!" I don't eat or drink, and I can't fill it up by spending a month full force instilling! Also, this mana reservoir doesn't have a base, how does the mana channel? ”

"You look up?" Qingyi smiled beautifully, as if it was himself who lived in this tower.

There is a skylight at the top of the tower, and the faint light leaks in, and the further down it goes, the darker it becomes, and it is already dark when it reaches the place where Qingyi stands. But with the influx of magic power, little stars lit up in the tower, twinkling and shining, as if to greet the new owner. They are all "compound eye diamonds" produced from the Sky Leaping Worm, which have the strength to penetrate the space, and can naturally absorb magic power from the air. They are the nodes of the formation in the tower, and the nodes are connected by complex Mithril threads. As the center of the formation, the "Triangular Diamond" can transmit magic power to any "Compound Eye Diamond" set in Tower Mountain, just like the Triangular Worm giving orders to the Sky Jumping Worm.

This mage tower obviously belongs to the category of architecture and magic, but it has more biological meanings.

"Incredible, incredible...... Incredible ideas, incredible materials! Diesel was completely distracted. He didn't know the specifics, but he had guessed how it worked.

"This kind of design is only available to us here, so the whole continent ...... No, in the whole world, only the Dusk Empire can build this tower. "Qingyi is telling the truth, what country can build a mage tower with a large number of special materials from otherworldly creatures? Even if it is built, which architect can grasp the attributes of unfamiliar building materials and boldly construct them?

Diesel sighed: "Master Patra's attainments are so great that he deserves to be the pinnacle of architecture alone. Incredible, incredible......"

After channeling the mana, Diesel left a magic mark in the "Triangular Diamond", and from then on, this mage tower was the only one he could open. As a result, this tower has another special attribute: the soul value of all residents in the city is +20, and [Arcane Ray] can be switched to [Soul Impact]. Once the city is under "martial law", the Mage Tower is a battery.

There was a bit of a bump in the platform as it was raised, and this was due to the fact that Diesel was too excited and the output of the magic was uneven. The Mage Tower resembles a large bamboo shoot with an interior connected from top to bottom, and in each section, the ceiling and floor are filled with holes the same size as the lifting platform. When a mage wants to stay on a certain floor, he simply raises the platform to level with the floor of the room, and the platform and the floor are locked by a mechanism from the interface. As a result, the mage can move around the level at will, returning to the platform when he is about to leave. This makes efficient use of space.

On each floor, Diesel stops and reaches out to touch the diamonds on the wall, or looks out the window. Qingyi understood his mood and did not urge. Of course, since the tower has just been renovated, beds, desks, research materials, and other things have not been moved in, so the functions of each room have not been strictly separated.

The top floor has a large skylight (which can be closed at any time), which is most convenient if you are staying with an astrologer, but whether you can see the stars through the clouds is another matter. For this tower, how can Diesel still not be satisfied. He looked at Qingyi, and just wanted to say something, but suddenly his face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, this tower costs a lot of money, right?" ”

"Isn't this nonsense, Mithril alone has cost me an unknown amount of money." Qingyi pouted.

Diesel was anxious: "Haven't you been short of money lately?" Why spend money at this juncture? ”

Qingyi only then understood what the other party was anxious about, and laughed: "If it is spent on you, then it is not called spending money indiscriminately!" Don't worry, I haven't had any pressure to repay the loan recently, so I don't miss you this amount of money. ”

After a pause, Qingyi walked to the window and looked at the World Tree: "You betrayed the Dark Church in order to defect to me. You're hell-bent on going higher. In fact, it is more likely that your allegiance to me was due to your fear of death, so you are still nervous to this day. But I don't mind, and I don't ask you to die for me. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will get something more valuable than the Mage Tower, and I will do what I say. ”

Diesel bowed his head, speechless.

"How's the progress of the Pure White Abomination?" Qingyi changed the subject.

"Good." Diesel Dao.

"What is the concept of 'good'?" Qingyi was a little puzzled. The boss asked, did the subordinate answer like this?

"It's not that I don't want to say it." Diesel waved his hand again and again, smiling bitterly (his wry smile was extremely haggard): "Because after discussing with the technical director—"

Qingyi interjected: "Wait, who is the technical director?" When did I set up this position? ”

"Referring to Mr. Brian. Because everyone in the Joint Research Center called him the manager, it was easy to confuse it with the director of Jont, so Strunm simply helped him change his name. ”

"Oh, let's go on." Qingyi thought to herself: Am I not the CEO?

"After discussing with the technical director, we decided to replace the large machines with constructed necromantic creatures or pure white abominations to fit the character of the Twilight Empire. Waltpole Cullen is in charge of the Biological Weapons Group, and Fermat is in charge of the Weapons Development Group, so the two colleagues also participated in the discussion. After a short meeting, we did an experiment and it worked. At this, Diesel's eyes lit up.

"And then?" Qingyi couldn't wait to ask.

And then ...... Fermat said he wanted to keep it a secret from you, and whatever you asked, I could only say 'very good'. Diesel scoffed.

Qingyi was speechless, but he was also successfully aroused, and he wanted to see what the final result looked like. He asked, "Did that thing make it?" ”

"Of course, I strictly follow your instructions and do it well before I move on to other tasks. Please take a look at it. ”

Diesel pulled a scroll from his bosom. Qingyi opened the scroll and looked at it carefully a few times before saying, "It's very reasonable, it's very concise, and there are no flaws." Let's let the handicraft workshop mass produce, and the quantity is set at ...... Oops, how could I forget, now is the critical moment for the production of 'broken silver', and the workers can't spare time. I had to wait two and a half months. You keep it and remember to give it to Fermat when the time comes. ”

Diesel put away the scroll and busily wrote the memo.

"Let's go, you'll have to set up the Mage Tower." Qingyi didn't want to delay Diesel's time. Not to mention furniture and books, there are dozens of magic traps in the mage tower, right? Magic access is also required, right? The preset magic shield still needs to be adjusted, right? I can't finish these things in two or three days.

(The two descended on the platform, and Xue Duo muttered, "Why don't you install a lamp?") ”）

Qingyi remembered that question again: Why did Seruvega want to increase the price of armaments? What's the conspiracy here? The most important thing is to be on your own, what can the wise Gareth do? Is his plan complete, or is it just getting started? Now that the Twilight Empire won't fall into the trap, is Gareth's calculations all in vain? Is it that simple?

He was so puzzled that he couldn't let go of the doubts in his heart for a long time.
