Chapter 710: Castle in the Sky (Ask for Subscription, Ask for Collection, Ask for Tickets)

The Magic Tower is a very useful asset for spellcasters, serving as their sanctuary, research center, and fortress. Because of the powerful magical powers they wield, there will be many transcendent spells surrounding and protecting the building.

For casters with magic towers, they are shields, a haven of refuge in times of danger, and a reliable refuge for mages when hiding from powerful enemies or great chaos.

It is also a spear, and by using the magical engineering, radiation, magical turbulence, and other mystical powers gained from various mystical knowledge, the caster can construct a building that will greatly enhance his arcane abilities, allowing him to expand his control over the elements, planes, and other abilities, bringing the most complete destruction to his enemies.

At the same time, the Tower of Magic provides the most important research environment for the casters who use it. For many spellcasters, knowledge is power. The Magic Tower can provide all kinds of effective functions and necessary books, items, equipment, space, etc. This allows the caster to complete every step of his research without leaving home.

In short, the relationship between them and their towers is very close to the casters. Through careful calculations and arrangements, the tower and its owner establish a connection that allows the magic of the two to flow to each other and to gather the surrounding magic into the tower. In many ways, the Magic Tower is not so much a residential building as it is a device for the gathering and channeling of magical energy.

Essentially, a magic tower is a building-level magic item. The purpose and structure of this building is to gather magic. The shape of the tower, the tall and upright structure, is for this purpose, which is why the casters are so fond of building towering mage towers.

This law is common in most worlds, even in the Harry Potter world, where the magical civilization is not very developed. Whether it's Hogwarts, Numengard or Hogwarts. One thing these sites that have been studied for a long time by wizards is that they all have towers.

At Hogwarts, for example, Ravenclaw, who devoted the most effort to the study of magic, had a tower of his own. This is already a good indication of the effect of this tower design on the user's focus on the magic.

Of course, not every spellcaster has their own magic tower. Or, to be more precise, only a handful of spellcasters can own a magic tower of their own. Some casters can only borrow magic towers by attaching themselves to some powerful mage or power, and most spellcasters have never used magic towers in their lifetime.

The reason for this is that the cost of building such an enchanted building is staggering, and even if there are enough resources to build their own magic tower, spellcasters often only build the most basic tower instead of an entire castle. In the case of this kind of magical building that Ryan has seen, anyone who builds a castle is either extremely wealthy or has experienced a long history, or even both.

For Ryan, who has mastered the massive resources in several worlds, since he has made up his mind to build a magic tower, he will naturally choose the best. Therefore, a single magic tower is naturally not his goal, and a sky city like Laputa is the ideal model for him to build.

At the heart of the Magic Tower is the Energy Trap, also known as the Energy Pool. Fortunately, Ryan had already solved this most critical problem with the Flying Stone Crystal, and the next task was to build a house as the central room of the entire magic tower, and all the other rooms of the magic tower were built with this central room as the cornerstone.

"The book says that it is best to use some stable and strong materials for the construction of the central room, and the most important thing is that there is enough magic shielding effect and high enough strength. Hermione held a copy of Arcane Geometry and read, "In the choice of materials, metal is the first to be recommended, followed by alchemy stone that is integrated into metal. For example, the magic tower we saw at Lady Silvermoon last time is made of a lot of metal ore, and the cost is much higher than that of ordinary magic towers. ”

"I choose materials better than they choose. As they spoke, one by one puppet robots borrowed from Laputa came out of a spatial door and brought out pieces of silver-white metal ingots.

"Is this magic metal?" Hermione looked at the metal ingots that were gradually piling up in front of her, and she could feel a faint magical reaction on them. "I read the book before that only the gods would build their temples with metal as the main body. ”

"Don't forget, the world in which Silvermoon City is located is equivalent to our Middle Ages. They smelt metal by hand, so how can there be too much metal for the mages to squander?" Ryan shrugged as he looked at the piles of metal, "and we have a modern industrialized society behind us. ”

"This shouldn't be iron. Hermione stepped forward and picked up a piece of silvery-white metal. "Pinch it in your hand, you don't plan to use aluminum alloy, right?"

"Of course not. Ryan also picked up a metal ingot and injected a little bit of magic, and in an instant the metal emitted a faint blue glow, like some kind of radioactive metal. "It's titanium, and I added a little bit of Mithril to it when I was smelting it to make it a magic alloy. ”

Soon, the puppets built a room out of titanium components of various sizes. Ryan then used the power of the Rosary to unite the room, and placed the golden orb on the altar made of a single amethyst in the middle of the room.

In an instant, the entire room emitted a blue glow, and a large number of complex golden runes emerged from the metal walls. Hermione had the feeling that the house in front of her seemed to come to life all of a sudden.

"Well, the first cornerstone of the magic tower has been laid. Ryan pulled Hermione to the front of the house, and in an instant the room revealed a gap that could accommodate the two of them.

When they entered the room, the passage disappeared again, and the whole room was back in a single state. However, although the room has no doors or windows, it is filled with soft light. This light comes from the four walls, floor, and ceiling of the room.

The walls, ceilings, and floors were now densely covered with all sorts of runes, magic circles, and mystical patterns composed of golden light, and they illuminated the entire house. Other than that, there was almost nothing in the room, except for a three-story circular amethyst altar more than one person tall placed in the center of the floor, and the golden orb that was the core of the energy was now silently suspended about a meter above the altar.

"Next, we need to float this room 20 meters above the ground and start building it from the bottom half of Sky City. With that, Ryan made a gesture, and a rune on the golden ball lit up. Hermione immediately felt the floor beneath her feet begin to rise slowly, as if she were sitting in an ascending elevator.

Over the next seven months, Ryan and their hands helped tens of thousands of puppets and robots to build a floating castle bit by bit. The castle has everything a magic tower would have, such as a magic garden, a laboratory, a demolition room, a library, an exploration room, and a workshop. On top of that, this magic castle has an artificial intelligence of its own.

"Now we can go back. "Looking at the dark blue roof floating in the air, the white walls look like a castle out of a fairy tale. Ryan said to Hermione, who was standing beside her, "I have to say, the gifts we got on this Christmas trip were amazing. ”
