Chapter 76 Magic Tower
"The teacher is having lunch." Walking between the workshops on the Floating Island, Ferek lowered his voice and introduced: "You have also brought the teacher's favorite gift at this time. We should have invited you to have lunch with the teacher, but the teacher has a habit recently. Except for a few maids, he doesn't like someone to be by his side, and even we don't see each other. So I'm sorry, I can't invite you to go with you. I can only ask the masters to sit in the living room for a while and meet again when the teacher's lunch is over. But... forget it, I think it's better to take you far away, please come with me."
Ferek, who looked mature, steady and reliable, seemed very hesitant at this time, as if he was in a fierce struggle in his heart. In the end, he made up his mind and made an invitation with bitterness in his voice.
Walking between large workshops, you can feel that this place is different from the Mage Area of the Capital of Knowledge. Take the Misin Processing Workshop as an example. It is also a magic-related supporting workshop. In the mage area, craftsmen are more likely to carry out Misin forging and fine processing. On the floating island, some low-level mages and controller magic puppets perform heavy Misin forging, and then these low-level mages perform fine processing. These mages often have common problems with mages, their faces are gloomy and their expressions are focused. They wear dark robes and float quietly against the ground like they have no legs, which makes the girls passing by feel chills for no reason. They always feel that they are not on the floating island at noon, but wandering in a century-old cemetery at midnight.
However, it is obvious that these mages did not think there was anything unusual. Most of the mages passing by were coming and going in a hurry. A few were still talking while walking, wondering which magic formula was repeated. Even when one of them passed by, they looked at the timer in their hands and changed from fast walking to running. Those who didn't know might think that he was scared by Panis and the others, but in fact, it might be just a heater heating time. These mages passing by. Even if some people did not focus on ignoring the surrounding environment, even if they had seen a few strangers who were not masters, they seemed to have not seen it, just like when six people did not exist. In their hearts, instead of being distracted by these strangers, it would be better to use this time to do an additional experiment.
"One hundred years is too long for humans, so the composition of these mages is very complicated." Felek whispered: "In the teacher's department, there have been many students over the past 100 years. Most of these students later became powerful mages, some of whom served as consuls from all over the country, and the other part focused on this floating island to study their own subjects. And they also have their own students, most of their students have graduated, and they also have their own next generation apprentices. I'm afraid it's hard for you to imagine this floating island.
At least five generations of apprenticeships of the wizards were gathered. As for me, I was the lucky one, and I was the last group of students of the teacher. I was valued by the teacher and I have never been a teacher. I can stay by the teacher and accept his teachings at all times. Other students sent out envy me. They also want to return to the teacher to continue studying. Unfortunately, the teacher is very strict and believes that only when the birds are driven out of the nest can they learn to fly, so they are forced to work in the city they are in charge and are not allowed to come back to study."
"But, since there are five generations of mages and apprentices here, it means that some other students of Master Fella stayed on the floating island." Catherine also lowered her voice and said, "Don't they want to have their own city and position?"
"They don't want it." Ferek shook his head and said, "Those who stay on the floating island are all people who are obsessed with knowledge, or are the purest mages. Unlike me, they are just a mixture of mages and politicians. In their eyes, knowledge and magicians are supreme. In order to study knowledge and magic, they can ignore anything. For such classmates, teachers are not at ease to send them out, otherwise the territory will be completely messed up in less than a year.
It was a bunch, so I just let them stay on the island and continue their magic research as researchers. Actually, I also envy these people, who can devote all their energy to one thing and not be disturbed by worldly things. Maybe it is because of this that they can achieve their respective achievements, whether in strength or knowledge. Instead of being like me, who was promoted to legend at the age of thirty-five, and there was no hope of breaking through the demigod boundary in their lifetime, there was no chance of breaking through the demigod line at all."
"Oh?" asked Panis, "From what you mean, have you ever had a classmate who was promoted to demigod?"
"Yeah, there was one fifty years ago," Felek said: "But he died five years ago. His death made the teacher sad for a long time. He kept saying that he was his best student and originally hoped that he could inherit his lordship."
"He is actually even better than Phella..." Panis stopped halfway through his words and coughed dryly, "Didn't Phella teach you his understanding of time magic?"
"No." Felec knew very well what Panis meant. Felec could use time magic to halve the effect of time and live until now. Then his apprentice was also a demigod, so he should have this opportunity, but Felec shook his head and said, "The teacher said that time magic cannot be taught in words, and can only be experienced by oneself. Unfortunately, he did not successfully learn the teacher's time magic, or in other words, no one among all our classmates learned this special magic."
"That's a pity." Panis suddenly stopped with Ferek, and in front of him was the black gate of the Magic Tower and the door frame made of bluestone.
When you observe the magic tower up close, you can feel the towering height of the magic tower. When you look up at the bottom, you can't see the top of the tower even if you turn your neck sorely. A large number of magic runes are engraved around the spire. These runes are flashing regularly under the power of magic energy, adding a bit of mystery to the tower and bringing greater pressure to the observer.
Yes, oppressive force, looking up at the tower, you can feel the pressure from the tower body. The towering spire seems to be about to fall in the direction of the observer, making people unable to help but want to retreat. However, too high buildings are only one of the reasons for oppressive force, and there is also a more important reason for the pressure, mainly due to the effect of the mage tower itself. As the ruler of Butt, the mage tower and floating city of the mage lords, in addition to conducting magic research and maintaining external deterrence, the more important function is to maintain their own rule over the territory. They need mystery and oppressiveness to ensure the awe of the people in the territory, so they choose this high-ranking way to maintain authority. At the same time, they have targeted designs for the shape of the magic tower. Starting from some small details, it highlights the majesty and solemnity of the magic tower, making ordinary people feel afraid when they see it, and even professionals will feel psychological pressure.
"Please go here." The red-robed wizard Felek pushed open the door of the magic tower and led everyone into the interior of the tower. As soon as he entered the tower, the girls saw a very unique decoration hanging in the reception hall on the first floor.
Above the floating island is a plane, and below is an irregular conical shape. The most conical part is about one hundred meters away from the plane of the floating island. The magic tower in the center of the island is opposite to the tip of the conical shape below. The 120-meter high tower, including the underground part, is divided into more than twenty layers. At the bottom is the energy center of the magic tower, which is the most important place of the mage tower and the most tightly defended place. The space absorption, storage and conversion of the energy of the earth veins is carried out there.
The number energy pipeline emits upward radiating along the interior of the magic tower from the magic energy center at the bottom, transporting a continuous stream of magic energy into each room, providing sufficient energy for all magic machinery and magic arrays. Above the magic energy center is the defense force of the magic tower. A large number of magic fighting puppets are dormant on this level. Once an unexpected situation occurs, these puppets will be activated. Small puppets made of thousands of metals are like a tireless small army within the radiation range of the magic tower, and can be put into battle at any time.
As for how large the radiation range of the magic tower can cover how many nearby cities, it is not important, because the Land of Mage itself is an area with extremely rich and active earth veins. Although the large Earth veins energy explosion points have been occupied by the floating islands of dozens of mage lords, small and medium-sized energy explosion points can be seen everywhere. Each lord's floating island can control the floating island to use these small and medium-sized burst points to arrive at any corner of the territory in a very short time, and can even fly out of the scope of the Land of Mages to carry out air strikes on surrounding areas.
.In the disaster of the return of the dead more than a hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Mages responded to the call of the coalition forces. Not only did Master Feila personally participate in Kyle's squad, but the Supreme Mage Council also sent three floating islands controlled by legendary wizards. Relying on these three islands alone, he steadily defended part of the border of the Sigh Desert. The powerful aerial strikes cooperated with the magical combat puppet troops on the ground. No undead can pass through this border, and almost no casualties were caused. Compared with the tragic deaths and injuries of other human countries, Butt's record can almost be called a miracle.
