Arcane Journey

Chapter 204
The Rock Bunker is an austere dark-black castle perched on a steep hill overlooking the town.

There is a garrison barracks in the atrium of the castle, which can accommodate up to 500 Mokou Town guards.

Usually, there are about 50 purple dragon knights and a dozen battle mages defending here.

In the courtyard there are also stables, an armory, a chapel, a blacksmith's shop, and a training ground.

The main castle of the castle is located in the east section, which is a huge D-shaped building, and behind the main castle, because it is more rugged and the terrain is more dangerous, densely covered with rocky hills and dense forests, it has become a natural part of the whole castle. The abyss is precipitous.

The location chosen by Brian Wizard Tower is the highest abyss cliff in the entire town.

When he led Helisite, the Duchess, and a group of subordinates behind him to the back mountain of the castle, more than a dozen spellcasters from the Silver Scholars Society and the old dragon turtle Oglul had already been waiting here for a long time.

Beside them, in addition to the piles of obsidian bricks, there are auxiliary materials such as marbles of various sizes and specifications that he ordered Graal to collect.

"Have you determined the location?" Brian asked, looking at the slightly hunched Old Dragon Turtle in plain robes.

If it weren't for the wise amber eyes of the old dragon turtle, he would have looked like an old man with half a foot in the coffin.

"My lord, the old man has found the best place to build the wizard tower through the knowledge in "Earth Vein Essentials Essence." The old dragon turtle said respectfully, "Although Mokou Town is not a real treasure of geomantic omen, I It can be turned into an ideal terrain and terrain through casting spells."

Brian nodded slightly, very satisfied in his heart.

He already knew that the old dragon tortoise had gone to the eastern continent of Karatu, where he had learned the way of divination for hundreds of years from the alchemists and ascetics there.

The divination method inherited from the ancient oriental country with a long history of culture naturally also includes Fengshui to explore the dragon's veins.

The dragon veins of the ancient eastern country do not refer to the bloodlines of the dragon clan, but the undulating mountains.

Because mountains are similar to real dragons in the East in many aspects, Feng Shui compares mountains to dragons.

In the traditional geomancy of the ancient oriental countries, the "dragon vein" is regarded as a special geographical form.

Their "feng shui technique" first recommends the "five geography tactics", that is: looking for dragons, observing sand, observing water, acupuncture points, and standing.

Rather, the dragon is the geographical context, the earth is the dragon's meat, the stone is the dragon's bone, and the vegetation is the dragon's hair.

To find a dragon, you should first find the source mountain range, check the qi pulse, don't get angry, and distinguish between yin and yang. You must understand the ins and outs of the cause and effect to judge the cause and effect.

Only in this way can we find the real place where the energy of the earth veins gathers.

As the saying goes, "thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground".

The wizard tower is no exception. A solid foundation laid in the early stage will determine how high its potential is.

After all, the mountain as the body of the wizard's tower must maintain its sufficient stability. Even if it is reinforced with protective spells and special material enchants in the future, it must not be perfunctory and casually find a location.

Besides, Brian had the greatest hopes for his first wizard tower, and he had long planned in his heart to make this tower the core part of the floating city.

In this case, he naturally wants to treat every link with the highest standard.

What's more, it is the base of the entire wizard tower.

The main function of the old dragon tortoise's technique of searching for dragon veins inherited from the ancient oriental kingdom is to find a place where the energy of the earth's veins gathers for him.

Because the energy of the earth veins determines the speed at which the energy of the element pool gathers, even including the strength of the entire tower body, it also plays a vital role in the stability of the large-scale space folding and twisting in the tower.

Although he himself has some spells that can see through the topography of mountains, allowing him to easily find the place where the energy of the leylines gathers, but he does not have the ability to change the leylines.

It is impossible to build one's wizard tower in the wilderness, or in the depths of uninhabited barren mountains.

At this time, the role of the old dragon turtle is manifested.

"If there is no problem, let's start." Brian instructed the old dragon turtle.

The old dragon turtle nodded slightly, and immediately took out a large pile of spell-casting materials.

These include unknown animal bones, various gemstones that emit the energy of the earth element, and a turtle shell engraved with hieroglyphs and spells left by an ancestor who he claims has lived for tens of thousands of years.

With the fastest speed, he carved a magic circle on the ground that was so complicated that even Brian couldn't understand it.

Vaguely, he can only guess that this is a summoning spell that combines the yin and yang gossip of the ancient oriental country and the casters.

After all, as a reborn person, he is very familiar with the gossip and the symbols of yin and yang.

Half an hour later, the old dragon turtle took a few steps back and began to cast spells to activate the magic circle.

He knelt in front of the magic circle on the ground, muttering to himself a series of obscure but powerful words.

After a full 5 minutes, which was quite a long time for the old dragon turtle, the aura of the spell filled and lit up like flowing water, emitting a thick khaki-yellow light.

The moment the strong light of the earth element spread to the entire town, a majestic phantom gradually emerged in the magic circle drawn by the old dragon turtle.

The two legendary powerhouses, Hellist and Myrcella, who were watching from the sidelines, were shocked by this powerful force, and their expressions changed slightly.

Brian even felt a majestic force pressing on his body, his knees seemed to contain a lot of strength, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down deeply.

Even he was like this, not to mention the others, most of them were suppressed by this powerful coercion, and couldn't help but want to kneel down to the ground.

"I am the God of the Elemental Earth, Gulamba, bound by oath, rock of righteousness, buttress of faith, strong pillar, dedicated pulpit, faithful rim, forging fist, unchanging bastion, The keystone of Ramba, Arch Valley of Transcendence, the foundation stone of Archimondes Prince of Elemental Earth."

Accompanied by a loud voice like a rock hitting another rock, echoing in the castle, the powerful coercion quickly receded like a tide.

"I am here at the call of the caller, mortal spellcaster, and speak out your humble request."

After saying a long section of titles and names, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge earth element that descended from the magic circle, about 15 meters high, with a rough and rigid face like a granite sculpture, and the eyes sunken deep in the eye sockets, as if Huge gold that exudes a bright glow.

"Prince of Earth Elements, Archimondes, Foundation Stone."

The old dragon tortoise said respectfully and humbly, "Those bound by oaths, rocks of righteousness, buttresses of faith, strong pillars, dedicated pulpits, faithful frames, fists of casting, unchanging bastions, The keystone of Ramba, the Arch Valley of Transcendence, in the name of Ogrul, I request you to transform the mountains and valleys here."

"Ramba, the Eternal Valley, is perfect and unchanging." The Prince of Elemental Earth rejected the old dragon turtle's request indifferently, his ruthless voice was like the chirping of a plow cutting the turf.

"My oath is also the cornerstone on which a stable world can be built. If you violate this oath, what is the objection to creating a crack in the foundation of civilization? The sanctity of my oath, the absoluteness of my oath, and the loyalty of my oath , I will never be allowed to destroy the stability of the world and the peace of the world!"

Seeing this, Brian couldn't help recalling the information about the God of Earth Elements.

Of all the elemental gods, Grumbar is the most ruthless toward his followers on the world of Toril.

If His thinking is weird and strange, then His reactions are predictable.

Because He rejects any change and development, always choosing to maintain the status quo.

To put it bluntly, His brain is like a stone, smelly and hard.

From this point of view, it is reasonable for his follower, the Prince of Earth Element, who has such a long list of titles, to refuse the old dragon turtle's request.

But there are so many wild gods, princes and lords on the Earth Elemental Plane, but the old dragon tortoise chose the other party.

It is true that the god of the earth element is the supreme commander of the earth element plane. In theory, the effect of this powerful god's action is definitely twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, Brian didn't think that the old dragon turtle who mastered the power of the law of the earth element would be unaware of this matter, so his purpose of doing so may have some deep meaning.

"Your Excellency Archimondes, Prince of Earth Elemental Elements, you have misunderstood. Ogrul never thought of destroying the stability and tranquility of the world." The old dragon turtle said calmly:

"This old man is not talented. He served as an assistant under the command of Tianguan Lilong and helped to stabilize the earth for more than [-] years. Therefore, if he was lucky enough to get a piece of Lilong's decree, isn't this enough to make the 'bound by the oath' believe that he can transform this place? The peaks and mountains of the earth veins are definitely not malicious?"

After speaking, he unhurriedly took out a dark yellow token with a very different dragon engraved on it.

It has no scales, no wings, replaced by rough black fur of wire texture, and its appearance is also very unusual. Its body and tail resemble a lion, but it has a human-shaped face, and its tail is decorated with colorful feathers. Peacock.

Seeing the token in the old dragon turtle's hand and the Lilong he mentioned, Brian was really surprised, and even the Duchess Raul stared at the items in his hand, thoughtfully.

The god system of the continent of Karatu, an ancient eastern country, is different from this continent.

The gods there are ruled by a main god called 'Emperor of Heaven'.

Under the command of the Heavenly Emperor, they are the Nine Walkers, Xiaoxian and Million Heavenly Officials.

Nine Walkers is also known as: Nine Immortals.

They are the executors of the will of the Heavenly Emperor, and the Nine Immortals manage and direct all the other Immortals in their assigned tasks.

As their titles reflect, each of the Nine Immortals is responsible for an aspect of rites.

Depending on their duties, they may be called to reward the good and punish the wicked.

The Nine Elements represent the nine basic virtues of rites: learning, respect for tradition, honor, compassion, love, loyalty, karma, art, and courage.

As the servants and assistants of the Nine Immortals, the Immortals originated from those sages who were especially holy during their lifetime.

As a reward, the Emperor of Heaven bestowed upon them immortality and limited god-like powers.

Each little fairy performs specific tasks in the Heavenly Court and Chixian Shenzhou, and is guided by the corresponding big fairy in the process.

Millions of Heavenly Officials are not priests, but agents of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Court. Many of them are spirit creatures and true dragons.

And the Lilong mentioned by the old dragon turtle is one of the seven demigod true dragons who command millions of heavenly officials, controlling the power of the earth.

Similar to it are Jianglong, who guards lakes and rivers, Sea Dragon, guardian of sea creatures, Panlong, who guards hidden places and ancient ruins, Tianlong, who controls weather, except for rain, Rain Dragon, who makes rain, and Unleashed Storm. wind dragon.

Brian only knew so much about the situation in the Karatu continent.

Because that mysterious land was not an option for their players, before he was reborn, he had never heard of a player who could step into that land.

Just because he knew that it was a land with the strongest oriental elemental culture, he managed to learn a little information through many channels.

To his surprise, the old dragon turtle had been Lilong's assistant for hundreds of years.

Thinking about it carefully, it's understandable, because this terrestrial dragon tortoise is also an existence that controls the earth, and it's quite reasonable to assist the demigod Lilong to stabilize the earth.

"The Lilong Decree?"

There was a surprise in the bright glowing eyes of the Prince of Earth Elemental, it pondered for a moment, and its loud and clear voice was like pebbles crackling by the river.

"According to the 'Ethical Covenant' signed between my lord and Heaven, the 'Oath-Bound' will indeed voluntarily help every holder of the Lilong decree, assisting them in transforming the peaks of the earth and stabilizing the cornerstone of the earth. However, this place is not the continent of Karatu , nor Chixian Shenzhou. Gu, the Lilong decree is also useless."

Being rejected, the old dragon turtle was not surprised. With a thought, he took out a bunch of sacrifices that the businessman Graal had prepared for him in advance, and placed them in the center of the magic circle.

Among the glistening offerings, gemstones are the main ones, such as: star topaz, spotted indigo stone, bright black tourmaline, warm color crystal, deep crystal, etc., all of which make middle-class spellcasters Mouth-watering precious material.

"But... I am very relieved to see that you are so sincere, and the bright moon can be used as a lesson."

The eyes of the Prince of Elemental Earth landed on the elemental gems and many sacrifices prepared by the old dragon turtle, his eyes shone like two searchlights.

"Such trivial matters are nothing more than a matter of effort to me."

As soon as the words fell, under the strange eyes of everyone, the Prince of Earth Element waved his hand calmly, unceremoniously took away all the sacrifices prepared for him, turned around and opened his arms, and his huge body instantly melted into the mountain that needed to be transformed.

Immediately afterwards, the dangerous terrain densely covered with rocky hills behind the castle was like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and the rocks and gravel moved and flowed silently like a fluid.

In just a moment, the original mountain appearance no longer exists, and the rugged mountain has also shed its rugged and chaotic shell, turning into a solid, flat and open stone platform base.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the vegetation growing among the mountains and the small animals hidden in it. There is even a little squirrel holding a pine nut, looking at the surroundings with a dazed expression, wondering what happened, In the blink of an eye, my home has become an open-air platform.

This is such a miraculous change that most people are dumbfounded and unbelievable.

After all, the transformation of this kind of progress can be called astonishing. Such a grand project also involves mountain transformation and rock transformation. Even if it is put into the real world, it needs to be calculated on a yearly basis.

And here, in just a few breaths and a few blinks of an eye, it was completely transformed by the avatar of a prince from the Earth Elemental Plane.

This is the power that comes with mastering the rules.

Because in their eyes, any material form composed of earth elements can be changed into other shapes in a moment of their thought.

"I've heard long ago that the Githyanki living in the astral world can use their psychic powers to distort matter and build their spaceships and bases."

The duchess of Arabe turned her gaze away, looked at the psion beside her, and said with a smile, "From this point of view, Ms. Whisper of the Moon must have come here for this reason."

"That's right." Helisite nodded slightly, exchanged glances with Brian, and after getting his approval, stood against the wind, her graceful figure slowly floating in mid-air.

Her six psicrystals glowed faintly, floating quietly around her.

"So many psicrystals." The Duchess looked at Helliste's figure with a startled expression, and subconsciously looked at Brian.

"She is a psion who is proficient in the six fields of psionic energy at the same time." Brian explained to her in a calm tone.

"How did you two meet?"

The Duchess suppressed the shock in her heart, and asked curiously, "I don't think that a legendary powerhouse like her, who thinks of herself as noble and incomparably noble, will easily fall in love with others."

"Are you trying to say that I'm not good enough for her?" Brian gave her a slightly depressed look, smiled slightly, and joked.

"I didn't say that, I'm just talking about the facts." The duchess thought for a moment, and said in a rational tone, "If I'm not wrong, you and this silver moon city lord should have known each other a long time ago, and it is absolutely impossible for you to come from far away The kingdom of Harua in the south."

Brian never wanted to hide his identity all the time, and he was not surprised to be seen through.

"You guessed right, but there is one thing you need to know." He nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I am indeed a Harua, a descendant of the Netheril Empire. The goal I pursue is always It hasn't changed."

The Duchess stared at Brian, silent for a moment, as if recalling something, finally sighed softly, turned her head, and shifted her gaze to Hellist.

Hearing the other party's sigh, Brian naturally understood the reason.

In this regard, he can only wait for the work in hand to finish, and go to Hesaiah in person.

The moment he raised his head, he saw traces of celestial energy seeping out of the empty space, and the pure and sacred light of the soul began to radiate from Helisite's body.

Her fluttering long hair was faintly shining, and her snow-white dress was more dazzling like white clouds under the hot sun.

Against the backdrop of psionic power, her eyes were as bright as silver moons.

Penetrating the void, the celestial energy that only he and Helisite could see began to rotate crazily.

Under the control of Helisite and the six psicrystal servants, these energies seemed to be out of control, turning faster and faster, and dancing wildly.

With the growth and spread of the celestial energy, the intense vibration caused the piles of obsidian bricks and marble materials to hum.

In the sound of detonation waves, the buzzing sound revolved around the building materials, and gradually merged together, rising from the ground at a mysterious speed, turning into a tower that pierced into the sky.

The entire tower body is tall and straight, simple and vigorous, giving people the inspiration of strength and the feeling of beauty.

Looking at the tower from a distance, it looks like a giant standing beside the green mountains and green waters, and it looks like a giant pillar standing on the ground up close.

The tower stands on the top of the mountain, and at its feet, wisps of misty mist permeate the mountains and ridges.

Gazing at the towering tower, even though Brian had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked.

This is the ingenious skill displayed by the legendary psion who is proficient in the field of creation.

Under normal circumstances, if the tower is built artificially, the traces of the tower body can be clearly seen, but the tower built by the legendary level of supernatural craftsmanship can't see any traces of patchwork at all, as if the tower is completely Tiancheng is a complete entity.

This is the most powerful ability of psions in the field of creation: creating matter out of thought.

However, ingenious craftsmanship requires original materials to create the same number of items. It seems that there are traces to follow, and it belongs to the law of matter, within the scope of the law of conservation of energy.

All entities and matter are distorted by the power of the mind, and every minute and every inch of shape may change in the next instant. Thought and will are the only reliable forces.

In fact, this is not a big deal. What is more unpredictable and powerful than the magic technique is actually the real creation technique in the field of creation.

This is the real 'creating matter with thought'!
It is like a sentence in idealism: All existence in the universe is realized by the mind, and there is no real law outside the mind.That is to say, the heart is the essence of all things and the only reality.

But precisely because of the horror of such creation spells, their creation laws are extremely difficult to master.

Lesser Creation, only one piece of clothing or wooden item can be made.

Advanced Creation already has the ability to create ordinary metals and stones.

However, the above two creation spells are not real creations, and the manufactured items will disappear with the end of the duration.

Psion's ninth-level ability "True Creation" has the same effect as "Higher Creation", but the duration of the item is permanent. Just like its name, it is a real item.

In other words, below the legendary realm, the limit of creation spells is ordinary metal and stone.

It can be seen from this that the depth of the field of creation is wider than other fields, and it can also be understood why there were only a handful of great arcanists who were proficient in the field of creation during the period of Netheril.

Seeing that the tower has been successfully built, and the cornerstone of the tower was rebuilt by the powerful subordinate of the god of earth elements, the stone that he had been hanging in his heart finally fell down safely.

This tall tower rests firmly on the foundation stone. It is an eight-sided minaret made of obsidian bricks, with a height of about 60 meters and a total of eighteen floors.

Residential areas, laboratories, warehouses, libraries, botanical gardens, etc., all kinds of necessary areas are available. He even established a small construction workshop, mainly to manufacture powerful construction creatures.

Seeing Helisite falling from mid-air, Brian quickly supported her and let her half lean in his arms.

Obviously, it was still too much for her to complete a 60-meter-high wizard tower in an instant.

"Fulfilling the mission is barely complete."

Helisite stabilized her body, brushed a strand of hair that was wet with sweat on her forehead, and said to Brian, "If my fifth psicrystal is fully fused, it won't be so difficult."

"Thank you for your hard work. You should have a good rest first. I have already arranged the accommodation for you." Brian shook her delicate little hand and said to her.

Helisite nodded slightly, but did not refuse, and was led by Graal's daughter Sissy towards the castle.

Seeing Helliste leave, Brian straightened his expression, looked at the group of subordinates who suppressed their excitement and couldn't wait to go in and visit quickly, and began to give his own instructions.

"Ogruel." He first looked at the old dragon turtle, took out the earth element spar obtained from Blingdenstone City, and handed it to him, "The basement of the high tower will be handed over to you. The node is established."

The high tower is not only a part of the tower body, but also the most important underground secret room, which is usually used by tower owners to make positive and negative energy pools or element pools, and is also the key to ensuring energy supply channels.

With this legendary quality earth element spar and the old dragon tortoise who is proficient in the laws of earth elements sitting in town, as well as the gathered energy of the earth veins, together with the many defensive circles of the tower, it is completely possible to make the whole tower stand like Mount Tai in Mokou Town.

"Don't worry, the underground secret room of the high tower will be handed over to me." The old dragon turtle took the earth element spar handed over by Brian, stroked his beard, and assured him with a smile, "As long as I sit here, No one can destroy the energy transmission system of the entire tower."

After the old dragon turtle finished speaking, he cast a spell similar to Earth Dungeon and disappeared.

Then, Brian called Ru Yin, the leader of the Silver Scholars Society, and a dozen spellcasters led by her, as well as the Battle Mage led by Marek, and the spellcasters brought by the Duchess, and issued a message Various detailed commands such as engraving magic circle, enchanting, making energy transmission channels, etc.

When they all ran towards the tower, he immediately ordered Graal and Balleris to send manpower and labor to listen to the instructions of these spellcasters at any time to purchase and deliver all kinds of magic materials needed.

After all, a real tower needs at least dozens or hundreds of casters to work together, each of them is like a screw or other important parts.

And what Brian needs to do is: control the overall situation.

Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death, and it would be impossible to complete the construction of the entire tower.

After everyone had left, Brian looked at the Duchess Myrcella Lauer, who was always smiling and watching the busy crowd with interest.

"Could you also arrange a job for me?" The Duchess had a soft smile on her face, and when she looked at Brian with silver-gray eyes, it was meaningful.

Bryan, who had been guessed, stopped beating around the bush and said his purpose, "I already knew that you are a super magician, so I hope you will keep a few permanent magic spells for my tower. Area metamagic effect."

Metamagicians are authorities on the study of metamagic feats, and specialize in the study of how one spell affects another.

They do not rely on any objective laws to transform the natural forms of magic, but modify them according to their own wishes.

They have an in-depth understanding and skillful use of super magic abilities to change the effects of spells. The super magic abilities they display can strengthen various buffs that gain or debuff to a deranged level.

There is also such a legend among their player groups: "When I become a super magician, my fate is up to me!"

Moreover, the supermagic's "cooperative supermagic" and "area supermagic" are also very powerful for the increase of the caster's companion.

If Brian has a super magician companion, he can completely squander his magic as much as he wants, and let this companion use the "cooperative super magic" or "area super magic" feature to increase the power of his spells.

This gradually spread the saying: "Behind every powerful spellcaster, there is a super magic spellcaster who silently dedicates."

It's a pity that the profession of Super Spellcaster is limited to women.

No one is clear about the specific reason. Although men can also advance, the speed of improving their strength is horribly slow.

Some people speculate that the ability of the super-spellcaster has touched the essence of magic, and the master of the magic net is the goddess of magic. Therefore, male compatriots cannot enjoy the benefits of advanced super-spellcasters.

This is the same as if a male compatriot wants to become a voter of the goddess of magic, the first test he accepts is to become a woman and experience the life of a woman for three to five years.

For example, Elminster, the so-called most powerful mortal spellcaster, chosen by the goddess of magic, enjoyed the benefits of being a bigwig in women's clothes when she was tested by the goddess of magic.

It is also the dedication ability of super magic spellcasters that gives them the innate right to choose a spouse first when choosing a male spellcaster partner in the caster group.

"You really dare to speak."

The Duchess's bright silver-gray eyes always carried a comfortable smile, "Do you know what this condition of yours means?"

"Of course I know." Brian had expected the other party to say that, "so I have already made all the preparations in advance."

"In that case, take me to your tower for a visit."

The Duchess glanced at him in surprise, flicked her loose reddish-brown hair lightly, and smiled, "If you want to supermagic in a constant area, at least you need to build up an elemental pool."

"I think so too, please, Miss Raul." Brian nodded slightly, inviting the Duchess to walk towards the tower together.

　Thanks to the boss: Wen Sixiu entered Samadhi, Dulu_lula for the reward, thank you for your support! ! !
