Age of Adepts

Chapter 415: Activate the Witch Tower

Views:

According to the display in the control crystal, the fourth floor of the witch tower is where the core witch array is located.

The whole Wuta has 5 floors on the ground and 2 floors underground, so there are 7 floors in total.

The two underground floors are the energy room and the material warehouse, which is also the common layout of most Wuta.

The first floor above ground is the residence of apprentices, witchcraft hall, library, academic hall and public restaurant.

On the 2nd floor above ground, there are witchcraft gardens, breeding rooms, cultivation rooms, small comprehensive laboratories and witchcraft practice grounds.

On the 3rd floor above ground are the sealing room, the library, the golem factory, the alchemy laboratory, and the scroll making room.

The 4th floor above the ground is the bedroom, study, reception room, and the area where the core wizard formation is located.

The fifth floor above ground is the teleportation room, private laboratory and workshop.

This layout was initially completed at Greem's request. Most of the witchcraft facilities had only an empty shelf, and continuous investment and supplements were needed to make them work perfectly.

Under normal circumstances, the activity areas of wizard apprentices are only on the first and second floors above ground, and those prospective wizards and advanced apprentices can borrow certain facilities on the third floor after applying. As for the 4th floor and above, only wizards can enter, and they must be trusted wizards belonging to this tower. Foreign wizards can only live temporarily in the 3rd floor residence.

Since the entire witch tower has not expanded its space, the activity area is not too large, but it is no problem to maintain a hundred or so wizards and apprentices in it.

Greem strolled into the spacious and bright central control hall. The translucent stone floor and the walls revealed a strong elemental atmosphere. A huge strange crystal was inlaid in the central area of the witch formation on the floor. And at the core of the crystal cluster of this huge crystal, a strange rune flickering up and down, constantly releasing strange witchcraft energy from it.

Greem leaned down and took a closer look, mainly using the chip to quickly scan the internal structure and composition of the huge crystal. Very weird, get nothing!

"Drip, an unknown energy crystal was found, no matching substance type could be found in the database, and no signs of artificial synthesis were found. It is preliminarily speculated to be an extraterritorial substance..."

Extraterrestrial matter

This also means that this crystal is not a specialty of the wizarding world, nor is it an alienated crystal transformed by high-level wizards using witchcraft, but... a special crystal plundered from a different plane or from the depths of the star sea!

Greem took out the control crystal given to him by the silver-robed wizard, and found that it was made of exactly the same material as this huge crystal. And when the runes in the huge crystal flickered, the small crystal in his hand would also vibrate and rhythmically, as if the two crystals were breathing synchronously.

According to the instructions of the silver-robed wizard, Greem put the small crystal in a groove above the huge crystal, cut his palm, and pressed his bloody hand on the crystal.

"Drip, the data connection channel has been detected, is the connection established?"

"Establish!"

With the connection between the spiritual power and the huge crystal, Greem felt that his perception world suddenly became extremely huge, and the spiritual power extended to every corner of the Wu Tower almost instantly. And in his mental space, a huge light screen popped up suddenly, and numerous operating instructions were densely listed on it.

The most urgent order at the moment is:

Activate the Wu Tower!

Different from activating the Wu Tower, activating the Wu Tower more means that Greem has obtained the highest authority of the entire Wu Tower. Unless he undergoes a special witchcraft ritual and voluntarily erases the soul imprint left in the crystal, he will always have the highest control authority of this witch tower.

"Chip, have you found any security risks?"

"Hey, the control crystal has been preliminarily tested, and no backdoor programs or security traps have been found... A more comprehensive test will be conducted again after the Wu Tower is activated. It is recommended that the subject activate the Wu Tower immediately!"

As Greem pounded the command to activate the witch tower, the small witch tower trembled slightly. In the energy room on the second floor underground, a trace of sacred elemental light suddenly lit up on the elemental altar.

A fist-sized black hole slowly opened above the altar of elements, and strands of colorful mist floated out from it. As soon as they floated out of the black hole, they were dragged by the element pool below and settled down. It didn't take half a quarter of an hour, and the strong magical energy breath rushed to the face, and the colorful mist gathered more and more, and surrounded the bottom of the elemental pool, making it gradually become a little humid.

Soon, a pool of clear, translucent, but extremely thick and viscous water came out from the bottom of the pool!

This is not the clear water extracted from the water elemental world, but the liquid magic element from the surrounding void. These magical energies were originally gaseous, but under the action of the precipitation and compression of the element pool, their concentration per unit was too high, and it took this form just now.

If the energy of Wuta runs longer, these liquid magic elements will also appear as a solid magic crystal under the further compression of the element pool. That is the hardest trading currency in the wizarding world!

With the activation of the energy room and the gathering of magic elements in the element pool, streams of magic energy were extracted and slowly injected into the witch tower system. From the second basement floor to the first basement floor, and then to the entire outer wall of the witch tower, all the places where the rune witch formations extended began to glow with energy fluorescence.

The three silver alliance wizards and Gargamel who stood half a mile outside the tower silently watched a ray of fluorescent light light up from the base of the tower, and then gradually spread to every corner of the tower.

This Wu Tower, which was still low and dark red just now, is already shining like a beautiful fire coral at this moment, showing its beauty and magic to everyone!

"Come in, everyone, welcome to my wizard tower!"

Greem's joyful and joyful voice suddenly sounded in the air. As soon as his voice fell, the Wu Tower gate that had been closed just now opened again silently.

Greem once again met and talked with the three Silver Alliance wizards in the living room on the third floor of the Wu Tower, and Gargamel, who was granted some authority by Greem, couldn't help but wander around to get acquainted with the wizard. Tower went.

"Your Excellency Greem, if you don't have any new needs, we will have to leave!" The person in charge of coordinating was still the wizard Eugene.

It can be seen that the place is sparsely populated and resources are scarce. Once the three pampered wizards of the Silver Alliance finished their tasks, they couldn't help but want to leave, and they didn't want to stay here for a second.

"No hurry!" Greem hurriedly said to stay: "The basic framework of this witchcraft tower has been erected, but there are still many witchcraft facilities inside that cannot be used, so I would like to know your quotation in this regard?"

Wizard Eugene was straightforward, and immediately took out a piece of parchment for Greem, and briefly let him know the basic prices of most witchcraft facilities.

Teleportation witch array: 100,000 magic crystals.

Discovery room: 70,000 magic crystals.

High-level witchcraft training ground: 80,000 magic crystals.

Binding room: (small) 4000 magic crystals, (medium) 20,000 magic crystals, (large) 50,000 magic crystals.

Sealing room: 30,000 magic crystals.

Purification pool: 20,000 magic crystals.

Large-scale comprehensive alchemy laboratory: 130,000 magic crystals. (includes full set of equipment and tools)

Golem Factory: 40,000 magic crystals. (can only craft or repair wizard golem constructs)

Scroll manufacturing room: 3000 magic crystals. (including all tools)

Enchanting laboratory: 7000 magic crystals.

Alchemy servant: (wizard level) 20,000 magic crystals, (apprentice level) 800 magic crystals.

Transformation of witch beasts: (wizard level) 1, 60,000 magic crystals, (apprentice level) 600 magic crystals.

Witchcraft garden servants: flower essence (200 magic crystals/piece), goblin (170 magic crystals/piece)…

Wuta slave (power type): tauren (20 magic crystals/piece), wild boar (8 magic crystals/piece), ogre (25 magic crystals/piece), half-dragon (40 magic crystals/piece)…

Wuta Slave (special type): halfling gourmet (300 magic crystals/piece), underground dwarf blacksmith (120 magic crystals/piece), grass elf (female 700 magic crystals/piece, male 600 magic crystals/piece), siren Apprentice (1700 magic crystals/each)…

Although the parchment is not big, there are quite a lot of contents listed in it, and many of them are necessary for a normal operation of the Wu Tower. It's just that Greem couldn't help but feel a little headache when he saw the basic price marked on the back of each item.

If he is a veteran wizard who has lived for a hundred years, he must have some capital in his hand no matter what. But he is not, but an ordinary wizard who came out with bare hands, and he even took off the new wizard's hat not long ago.

As for savings... The resources and magic crystals obtained in the last plane war have also been spent on Alice's battle for fate. He estimated that he could only squeeze out 30,000 to 40,000 magic crystals now, and this was obviously not enough to complete the wizard tower, only enough to maintain its basic operation.

Of course, Greem didn't have valuables in his hands. As long as the last void stone is willing to take out, all problems will be solved.

But... He really couldn't bear it!

So Greem and Wizard Eugene discussed for a long time, and built a small flame altar in the hall on the first floor at their own expense, and then added some tools and equipment to the alchemy laboratory, golem factory, scroll manufacturing room and other facilities, and provided the wizard I bought some magic seeds from the Magic Garden.

In addition to these infrastructures, Greem bought 2 halfling gourmets, 2 dwarf blacksmiths and 2 elves.

There is no way, he and Gargamel will need to stay here permanently in the future, and it is impossible to go out hunting every day for a living, so it is reasonable to go out to purchase a large amount of food and daily necessities, and then hand them over to these alien slaves!

As for the Wuta guards, there are currently 11 manticores acting as guards.

After the Flame Altar was built by the wizards of the Silver Alliance, Greem immediately inserted the discarded Flame Lord Scepter on it. In this way, every day he can summon 5 fire elementals from the flame altar as servants of the witch tower element.

Over time, this maze-like underground passage can be occupied by fire elements, which can greatly improve the security of the Wu Tower. And he can also get some more free servants, why not do it!
