Chapter 0079 Tower

I traveled more than 1 mile west along the edge of the Whispering Forest, and then 100 meters deeper into the woods, which was the high ground that the village chief had mentioned.

It is a rare clearing, surrounded by tall trees in the distance, but this one forms a raised clearing. Probably because the rocks are bare, even the shrubs are stingy to step here, only a few sparse scattered in the rock crevices, the blue-gray basalt looks very dazzling, the craggy rocks are messy, very desolate.

Li Xun walked up the gentle slope with a drop of more than 5 meters, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction. The location is suitable, and a small stream can be seen half a mile away on the right side of the forest. Since the location is suitable, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Ordering the escort cavalry and Mo Ke to retreat a little farther away, Li Xun muttered a mantra, and rushed to the bare basalt fingers in the middle of the clearing. A moment later, an incomparably thick arm made of stones and dirt suddenly stretched out from Li Xun's fingers, straight to the sky, and then a second arm also stretched out from the ground, pressing the earth. The earth trembled more and more violently, and in addition to the huge arms, an equally large head emerged, followed by an even larger body and legs, until the heavy body of the golem was pulled out of the ground completely, leaving a huge pit in its place.

The restless sound of the horses was heard at the bottom of the slope, mixed with the intermittent exclamations of the cavalry, and Li Xun's displeased gaze swept away, which suppressed the commotion that was about to break out. Mock was so frightened that he fell to his knees and prayed loudly, and because his voice was a little distorted, even if someone around him listened carefully, he couldn't understand what he was praying for.

The stone giant is 5 meters tall when fully standing, and because the soil that makes up the body is too mixed, sand, insects, and dead branches and leaves continue to fall from the body as he walks, leaking out the basalt body inside. The stone giant slowly knelt on one knee, and his muffled voice resounded through the jungle: "Follow your orders, master!" ”

"Clear this land, I'm going to build my tower." Li Xun commanded loudly, and used his spiritual power to imprint the tower style he had designed into the stone giant's consciousness.

"As you wish!" Golem snapped his chest in response. With a wave of his hands, the surrounding earth moved with its will, rising or denting, and in just a few minutes the entire high slope was leveled. The earth inside the slope collapsed outward with the pit as the center, and the fallen earth and sand slowly flowed out and filled the perimeter of the slope to form a tower wall, and whenever a section of the wall was raised, the large hole where the single eye in the middle of the golem's head was located would shoot out yellow rays, turning the wall into hard stones. In this way, under the repeated application of fossils into mud and mud into stone, coupled with the natural affinity of the stone giant for the earth element, the original loose and messy mud became mud that could be shaped at will, and it appeared one by one and began to build high.

Summoning elements, heroes are invincible 4th order spells, each summoned elemental creature can last for a quarter of an hour, costing 40 points of mana, and intermediate learning skills can reduce mana consumption by 30%, which also requires 28 points of mana, with Li Xun's current mana value of 280 points, with various magic return equipment, it can last for a while.

In order to speed up the progress, Li Xun waited for the end of the 20-second skill cooldown and summoned another Golem. In this way, the two stone giants started at the same time, and the effect was obvious, and the tower was rising and thickening at a speed visible to the naked eye. The tumbling of the earth and the shaking of the boulders brought a devastating blow to the small insects living here, and for a time, rats, snakes, ants, and scorpion locusts ...... They rushed out, spilled over the feet of the cavalry, and fled into the distance. In normal times, it would have caused everyone to scream again and again, but now that they have seen more terrifying things, they turned a blind eye to these little things, and just stared at the giant on the top of the slope in a daze.

An hour later, before his mana ran out, Li Xun, who had summoned the stone giant 9 times in a row, finally completed the main body of the tower. There are two floors underground, three floors above ground, and the tower body with a height of 20 meters is erected in front of you. The main entrance is open in the direction of the forest path, and there is a circle of nearly 2 meters high wall next to the tower, which looks quite like the army's guard tower. After the last two stone giants ran out of mana to maintain their bodies, they did not directly collapse and shatter like their previous companions, but turned into basalt giants and stood on both sides of the tower's gates.

Li Xun rubbed his faintly stinging braincase, and cast 4th-order spells in a row, the consumption of mana was secondary, and the urging of spiritual power was the main head, and he was a little tired in the end. Although the tower structure was etched to the stone giants, they are not human beings after all, and they are not enough for some meticulous work in the corners and corners. The stone giant's aesthetic is too rough, and he doesn't know how to sift through it when stacking the soil, and the gravel, dead branches and leaves, and rotten corpses of small animals dare to fill in it and directly petrify things, forcing Li Xun to stand on their shoulders and control it himself, so in just an hour, Li Xun was crumbling.

It's good to be done!

Li Xun muttered and walked up to the immovable "bystander" and shouted softly: "Hey, a few of you come here." ”

It was this gentle voice that frightened everyone back back again and again, and the eyes that looked at the mage were full of horror. The village chief Moke, who fell to his knees, supported the ground with his hands a few times, and finally got up, moved his legs that were soft as noodles and rubbed them in front of the mage, and knelt down again with a pop. The cavalrymen also felt that something was wrong, and moved behind the village chief, all of them pale and blue-lipped.

Li Xun didn't bother to care about their rudeness, and directly ordered: "Mo Ke, you go to the village and call some villagers to clean up here." You can go back and reply to Sir Sir, I'm very happy with this place, but I still lack some living facilities here, remember to remind Sir to ship me all the things I ordered some time ago. ”

A few people nodded like pounding garlic, and they responded again and again, seeing the mage waving his hand and hurriedly leading the horse out of the forest.

An hour later, the village chief Mok came with more than 50 farmers and women with all kinds of tools. Seeing the towering stone tower, the villagers who did not have much knowledge knelt in front of the giant stone statue in front of the tower and kowtowed and worshipped, and then began to clean up the surrounding land with anxiety.

Although the ground and walls on the high slope have been leveled by petrification spells, they are still not very smooth to the touch, and there are small potholes; The door of the stone tower has not yet been reached, and a large mouth is opening to reveal the empty hall on the first floor; There are also a lot of debris residues sifted out by the stone giants scattered around the tower; The path out of the forest is also too narrow and rugged. This kind of work still needs to be done carefully, so Mo Ke stood in front of the tower gate and commanded this group of villagers, each of whom was assigned their own work, and they were busy for a while, but no matter how busy they were, no one dared to make a loud noise, because the village chief said that the great mage was resting in the tower.

At dusk, the sun has sunk under the mountain forest, leaving only a brilliant red glow in the sky. Li Xun, who had slept for a day, got out of the tent and looked at the empty second floor with only a small tent for himself, and couldn't help but bare his teeth and be happy. I faintly heard a sound outside the tower, and walked to the small rooftop specially left behind with my back, and looked around, very proud in my heart. Mock had done a good job, and in the course of a day's work, he had repaired all the loose places around him, and the forest path had widened a lot in the morning, enough for the carriage to walk freely. The noise they heard was the tree they had cut down while dragging the extended forest road. A group of villagers tied up the big tree with ropes and cut off the branches, and they were dragging their heads outward, and the broken branches and stubble rubbed against the rough ground, and the villagers, both men and women, were sweating profusely.

Li Xun's heart was inexplicably a little hot, and a look of emotion appeared on his delicate face. I didn't think that a casual sentence could make almost the whole village busy for a day, and it seemed that they didn't even care about eating and drinking.

Could this be the power of a mage?

For this power, Li Xun not only did not feel complacent, but felt a little guilty and sad.

The person being offered must be kind to those who worship him, otherwise what is the difference between himself and those nobles and mages who he despises? I'm a mage, but I'm first and foremost a human being! If you are too clear of yourself and the ordinary people around you, you can only bury your own demons, and one day, people will only become a cold number in their hearts.

Li Xun nodded on his tiptoes, gently rose into the air, and slowly floated down towards the village chief Moke, who was directing the labor. The appearance of the mage had already been seen by the sharp-eyed villagers, and they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and knelt down, and Moke, who woke up, turned around and saw that it was the mage and hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up, everybody! I am very satisfied with your work today. You have worked hard for your lord, and I, as a lord, will not treat you harshly. Mock, there are some rewards here, and you can give them to you at your discretion. Li Xun used the illusion technique to amplify his voice, and a soft soothing slowly flowed through the hearts of everyone present. Then he took out a tinkling cloth bag filled with 30 gold coins and handed it to the village chief at the front.

"Master, we are all your subjects, we should serve you, I don't dare to ask for your money!"

"Mok, I am different from other lords, I am a mage, I don't need your money, food and offerings, I just need your loyalty and convincing."

Mock was so surprised that he could barely believe his ears, and he didn't know what to say, and the villagers who knelt down around him couldn't help but turn their heads to each other.

"You should have heard what I mean. From now on, all your gains will be yours, and I will no longer take a cent from them, but on the contrary, you will serve me, and I will pay you accordingly. All you have to do is follow the rules I have laid down and give your loyalty. ”

Li Xun repeated his proclamation again, and as soon as the words fell, the villagers cheered and shouted, "Long live the lord!" "Sing and dance. Mock shouted a few times, trying to calm the villagers' disturbances, but was drowned out by the sound and did not even make a splash. Li Xun patted Mo Ke's shoulder, stuffed the money bag into his arms, and whispered, "Take them to celebrate!" This is their pay, and the work will continue tomorrow. Without waiting for Mork to respond, he turned back to the stone tower.

Mo Ke touched the heavy money bag in his arms, looked at the indescribable villagers who were hugging each other and were not only excited, and raised his arms and shouted: "Go!" Go back and celebrate! Long live the lord! ”
