Originally, after the general structure of the castle was completed, only the place where Merlin lived and the place that served as a laboratory were renovated, but now that the entire castle has been renovated, it has been completed.

The castle is covered with soft cashmere stalls, silver cups and candlesticks everywhere, luxurious and colorful, even in many royal castles. Some things are against the law, and if an ordinary earl uses them, it will attract the attacks of other nobles, or even the attacks of killing the clan. But for a magician, none of this is a problem.

Merlin's own strength can make anyone with bad intentions desperate, not to mention that the chaotic city-state doesn't actually belong to any kingdom, so there is no need to consider this aspect at all.

"Looks like Royce and Doshania have taken good care of this place!" Merlin walked into the castle.

She looked around and saw that more land had been developed, huge windmills were spinning slowly, and some farmers and their women were clearing the weeds in the fields

These were bought slaves, as well as some of the lords.

During the construction of the castle, some of the slaves and lords who performed well were rewarded with commendations and land, and settled here, forming a relatively prosperous settlement, and from time to time patrolling soldiers and knights on tall horses can be seen walking along the road.

The two men, Doshania and Royce, were appointed by Merlin to be in charge of politics and military affairs, respectively, and because of the lure of rewards from titles and domains, they really worked the infrastructure here, at least in Merlin's eyes, almost like a real Earl's castle.

"Your Excellency, welcome home!"

As soon as he reached the gate, Avery hurried over, now dressed as a butler and looking quite energetic, while Royce and Doshania followed.

"Well, you've done a good job!" Merlin nodded faintly, acknowledging Avery for his work.

She didn't blindly give power to the two, but left Avery here.

Although she was sure that Royce and Doshania would not dare to betray, corruption was inevitable, but as long as Avery was there, they would not dare to cross the line too much, and that was enough!

"My lord, the latest statistics of our place have come out, and there are now 13,572 soldiers in your territory, with a total population of ......."

Before Avery could finish his narrative, he was directly interrupted by Merlene waving her hand.

"You can write a report on this kind of thing later, now come with me, I'm going to see the progress of the construction of the Guanshi Tower!"

As for Merlin, her investment in bunkers and territories is probably less than one-ten-thousandth of the Mage Tower! Naturally, she doesn't pay much attention to this, and she can know the general idea by taking a casual look at the summary document later.

"Yes, sir!" Avery followed as a matter of course, while Royce and Doshania looked at each other and could only smile wryly

Not far from the bunker, on top of a mountain, it had become a huge construction site, and all kinds of people were working on it.

Because it is a mage tower built, ordinary human slaves cannot be used, and ordinary humans are powerless against some special building materials, not to mention the pollution caused by long-term exposure to these materials, even if there is a purification tower, I am afraid that ordinary human slaves will die in a very short time!

"Hurry! Hurry up! Otherwise, there will be no Qingyan dinner at night!" a young man who looked like a mage, waving the rune whip in his hand and drinking in a strange language.

Some magic apprentices and even low-level mages act as overseers and designers on the construction site, urging some special slaves to work.

These slaves are tall and clumsy, with brownish-yellow skin that seems to be made of clay - an earth elemental, and otherworldly creatures summoned by magic, but they must be properly paid, or they won't serve you.

Because the earth elemental must be recruited from the heterogeneous plane, they are a humanoid life race, due to their natural strength and the ability to manipulate the earth system equivalent to natural witchcraft, most mages like to use the earth element as a worker in the construction of mage towers.

In the wizarding world, the plane passage that connects with the big status plane has long been destroyed, and the earth element is rare, but in the chaotic city-state, there is a tribe of earth elements, and many times, people will recruit and hire them to work for themselves. Of course, their commission is very high, but for the sake of her mage tower, Merlin can only grit her teeth and hire a large number of earth elemental workers, of course, this is a huge expense!

"Your Excellency!"

Mei Lin's arrival naturally attracted the attention of these mages, and it was not long before a very handsome young mage came to Mei Lin and saluted respectfully.

"Get up, Pylo, how's my mage tower going?"

Merlin has been in the wilderness forest for more than ten years, and she is not focused on how to return home, at least she has also made many acquaintances through Cambein and Garland, and has gathered a few retainers and some small forces.

Of course, because her current strength is still relatively low, and she has no famous deeds, the real master doesn't need to think about it, and this Pyro in front of her is Mei Lin's biggest gain so far!

This Pyro was introduced by Garland, and he is a second-level wizard, which is his limit, of course, ordinary official mages will not join others to become vassals.

Moreover, Pylo's strength is only at the level of the second level, and even due to the injuries and toxins accumulated from his old age and previous adventure career, he has lost the possibility of improving again.

Joining Merlin here this time seems to be planning for the sake of the family.

Of course, no matter what, Pyro is also a second-level mage! He can be called the number one thug under Merlin!

"The main structure of the Mage Tower has been completed, and it is exactly the same as on your design drawing, but the energy circuit and alchemy circle must be arranged by the adults themselves!

Pylo has a lot of life experience and knows what to do. What not to do, just a few words made Merlin very satisfied.

At this time, Mei Lin had already turned her gaze to the middle of the construction site.

There, a tall white minaret has taken shape. With a vast force, it seems to be announcing its arrival to the whole world.

And Pylo's debriefing continued......

"In addition, we have stocked up a lot of materials for the construction of the Elemental Reaction Pool and the Spell Garden, and there is also news about the ...... of the Tino family."
