Klein Continent, Duchy of Novis. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the only way to enter and exit the Duchy of Novis, the strategic value of the Thundering Fortress has attracted more and more attention from everyone. With it, the people of Novis have a solid barrier against foreign enemies, and with it, the Nevis magnates can sleep peacefully.

Unfortunately, the current Thundering Fortress is not in the hands of the Duchy of Novis.

No, no, no, it would be more accurate to say that the Thundering Fortress is still in the hands of the Duchy of Novis, but the magic tower that is the core of the fortress has fallen into the hands of the Necropolis. So there was such a paradoxical scene in the entire Lei Ming Fortress.

Most of the defenders of the fortress are human warriors in the true sense of the word. They tore down dilapidated houses, and heavy wagons were constantly transporting "garbage" day and night, including construction waste, foul-smelling rotting corpses, and the remains of undead creatures.

Due to the severe damage caused by the Sea of the Undead, the Thundering Fortress could no longer allow the army to be stationed without undergoing large-scale repairs and reconstruction. Moreover, after the sea of the undead raged, the negative energy aura here was so strong that people could smell a foul smell from time to time, and ordinary humans could no longer survive here.

After the necromancer's evil deeds were stopped, hordes of undead were driven to the mountains near Thundering Fortress, and many important military installations returned to the hands of the Novis army. Armed with spears and shields and armed with powerful military crossbows, the Novis warriors went from house to house cleaning up the remnants of the undead. Before clearing an area, a large number of torches were thrown into it, and the rich negative energy left by the undead was burned with the fire.

The arrival of 50,000 Novis warriors has brought the Thundering Fortress back to life. However, if you look at it from above, you will find that all human activities have consciously avoided the magic tower in the center.

Because, the magic tower that once made all the defenders of the Thundering Fortress proud and reassured no longer belongs to Novis.

A banner in the shape of a terrifying necro flutters at the top of the Magic Tower, a stronghold of the Immortal Council under the Necropolis and currently managed by the Necrocago.

Two days ago, a large number of mysterious mages arrived from the capital city of Pilbont. They cleared a huge clearing in the fortress square in front of the magic tower, and then gathered around it to mysteriously carry out some experiments or construction.

They were accompanied by royal mages who belonged to the Novis Mage Guild, but they were only responsible for helping the mystical mages to settle the fortress defenders and avoid some discordant conflicts.

From their mouths, the commander of the fortress defenders knew that those mysterious mages were all middle and high-level mages sent by the Mage Guild, with a number of 120 people, led by 5 big ** masters.

And the purpose of their coming here was to build a huge portal in the Thundering Fortress, which was said to be a portal that could connect to the distant elven continent.

For mysterious and powerful magic, the average Novis warrior certainly doesn't have access to it. But in the past few days since the mystical mages came to the Thundering Fortress, they have finally made up for all their regrets and seen all kinds of magic methods that emerge one after another.

First of all, they learned that the mages didn't need living people to clean up the grounds.

One by one, the tall and hideous steel golems put down their giant shields and iron swords, and turned into a demolition brigade of flat houses pushing walls. The mountains of sand and broken stone slabs in the fortress square were cleared to the periphery. With the murmurs of several mystical mages, even taller clay giants rose from the ground and joined the ranks of leveling the ground.

These earth giants have amazing talents. Everywhere they went, all the mud and sand mixed with scattered sand and gravel and various armor, weapons, and corpse fragments would boil like tumbling water. Debris that could not distinguish the material broke out one after another, and then rained down on the periphery.

However, as they slowly walked past there, the ground that had been soft as mud had flattened out like a mirror, and was hard enough to carry a heavily armed hoplite.

It wasn't until the earth giants had leveled the land chosen by the mages that the high-level mages sent by the mage guild entered the site. On the ground as hard as marble, they first sketched a grand magic circle with colored powder, and then brushed it with some kind of extremely corrosive demonic beast blood over and over again.

When the outlined magic lines were corroded into shallow grooves half a finger deep, the mages began to pour a large amount of magic silver into them.

Magical silver is not a naturally occurring mineral in nature, but a magical metal that mages magically extract from some metal ores. Because of its good magic malleability and orientation, magic silver is widely used in the laying of high-level magic circles. It belongs to a relatively high-end magic conductor.

In the future, after the completion of the magic array, the internal flow of magical energy will depend on them.

At each key node of the huge magic array, the mages sketched out one miniature magic circle after another, and the core of each magic circle left a slot for placing magic crystals. Judging by the huge area of the magic array and the distribution density of the slots, when the magic array starts to operate, 270 magic crystals will be needed at the same time.

The flat price of a standard mana crystal in the Klein Continent is 120 gold coins.

The mage of the association, who had been watching from the periphery and had no right to interfere in the construction of the magic array, turned pale and his hands trembled all the time after peeking at the full form of the magic array.

If such a magic array starts to operate, I am afraid that he will not be able to use up the magic crystals that have been "burned" in a quarter of an hour. With his hard work and personal financial resources accumulated for decades, it was simply not enough for such a giant magic array to burn in half a minute.

And he's already a high-level mage of the Novis Mage Guild!

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the fortress defenders and guild mages, this giant magic array was expanding and manifesting at a crazy speed, and auxiliary magic components appeared one after another. After the third day, a tall and majestic giant arch was also erected, showing the grandeur of the portal.

It can be seen that this huge portal is for those guys in the magic tower. However, in the past three days of active preparation by the magic array, the gate of the magic tower was closed, and the slightest movement was not felt inside, and it was as dead as a mausoleum.

…………

Philik was sweating profusely and floated above the magic circle.

As the head of the five great ** masters who preside over the remote portal, all activities here are controlled and assigned by him, even if those four great ** masters, at this time, they must bow down and be controlled by him.

However, he did not have any proud pride and pride in his heart, but only sincere fear and anxiety.

As a close confidant of the vice-president, Lord Shaslar, Felik has long been at the heart of building such a magnificent remote portal in this remote and inhospitable wilderness. However, after getting the so-called inside story and truth from the vice president, he could only complete this arduous task seriously and diligently.

A remote portal was built in three days, and in this magical desert where there was nothing to do, Felik was now a head or two big. He wished that he could have a doppelganger method and divide more than a dozen of himself in one go, so that he could complete the arduous and complicated work.

The construction of the teleportation array originally required extremely elaborate and complex magical means, and all the work could not be entrusted to those large number of mid-level mages. Middle-level mages can only do some low-level work such as etching circle circuits, infusing magic silver, and debugging mana connectivity, and those miniature circles and node etching can only be done by high-level mages. And the communication and debugging of the auxiliary magic circles can only be completed by the great ** master.

Therefore, the four deputies of the Great ** Division were transferred by him in less than three days, and they were all tired and had a fight with the leper dog.

After two days and three nights without closing their eyes, and without the opportunity to meditate to restore the depleted mana, all the mages could only rely on energy potions and magic potions to hold on, otherwise they would not be able to complete the work of building a portal in three days.

The Vice President contacted him almost every four hours, and each time he was urging him to hurry up and complete the task. This heavy pressure forced Felik to go crazy.

Fortunately, the Mage Guild is still not stingy with the supply of materials, and the resources required can always be in place, which makes Felik find a little comfort in addition to his heavy work.

However, every time Felik sent a request for resources to headquarters, the mages who appeared across the temporary teleportation array were in a hurry, and after releasing a mountain of materials from the large storage ring, they hurried back to the headquarters.

This couldn't help but make Felik wonder if there were any preparations for a large-scale event going on at the headquarters, otherwise the mages at the headquarters would not be busy like this.

Just as Felik silently bowed his head and groaned, a loud explosion suddenly occurred in a supporting circle in the distance, and the smoke was mixed with the screams of the mages.

Damn, in a hurry, something went wrong!

Felik's heart tightened, and he quickly flew to the area where the accident occurred.

Fortunately, it was only when an auxiliary circle was connected that there was a problem with a magic circuit, which caused the magic crystal to explode, and the damaged area was not too large.

However, the three mid-level mages who laid down the circle were all hung up.

After hastily adjusting the manpower and severely reprimanding the high-ranking mage who supervised the place, Felik finally quickly dealt with the mistake.

The more the last moment, the heavier the psychological pressure.

All the magic nodes, all the magic circuits, and all the auxiliary circles have been built one after another, and the tall and magnificent portals have been erected. In the follow-up magic connection test, Felik did it himself, carefully and meticulously doing every step of the work.

Finally, at dawn on the fourth day, the costly remote portal was built as scheduled.
