"This time, I don't have to worry about aesthetics. Fitch took Shanny by the waist and flew with her to the rain tunnel dug for the Magic Tower. "Build a staircase from here, up to the Magic Tower, down to the Palace, and put handrails on both sides, so that you can go up as you walk. Leave a deeper trench next to the stairs to direct rainwater down. ”

"Who else but you and me will be able to enter the Magic Tower?" asked Shani.

"The only ones left are cats. ”

"Will you stay in the magic tower for a long time?" asked Shani again.

Feige shook his head, "No. This magic tower is an extension and amplification of the cat teasing stick, and I can control all its functions from the palace. I don't need to go inside the magic tower unless some dangerous experiments require a sturdy place to do so. ”

"Then it's okay if this road is not repaired. Xia Ni said, "If you are not in there often, I don't need to go inside to look for you." When the golden dragon grows up, it will be able to fly up with me, and I don't need steps. ”

"It's still going to be repaired. If someone attacks the palace, the Magic Tower will be the best place of refuge and the last defensive position, and you will need a passage to get up. ”

"Why would anyone attack the palace? As long as you are here, who can break into the palace?"

Feige snorted and didn't answer, which made Shani feel a little strange. Although Feige has always had a bottom-line mentality, no matter how good the situation is, he will prepare for the worst-case scenario, but this time is too strange. Now that the decisive battle in the Second World has been won, and the War Knights and the Creator are no longer a threat, who is Feige afraid of? and the assault on the palace is also a strange scenario, which is often used when the Emperor is rebelled, or when the people riot. Now the empire simply does not have such signs or such capabilities.

If it is the most extreme case, Feiqi can't even release magic, then this enemy is so strong that the magic tower can't stop it. If Feiqi can use magic, then Shani believes that Feiqi will at least use teleportation to come to her, and the two of them face the enemy together or run away together, and she will not need the protection of the magic tower. In other words, the "refuge and protection" effect of this magic tower does not have a situational space, and Xia Ni began to doubt.

"When I arrived, the gray wall in front of me was. Feiqi didn't notice that Xia Ni's brows were slightly furrowed, and the anti-petrification lens blocked this detail, so he was still telling Xia Ni about the magic tower in a flat tone. "I didn't want it to go that deep, it was all kinds of fears that it had to drill down, and it almost caused a landslide. I think it's appropriate to call it the Tower of Fear in the future, and the more timid it is. ”

The two men came to the tower, and as Feige had said before, the walls of the Tower of Dread opened automatically, creating a door out of thin air. Through the hexagonal door, you can see that inside is a brightly lit empty hall, which feels much larger than the outside of the magic tower. "It's the effect of a space spell, and it's kind of a half-plane. Feige explained. Then he himself felt that it was not too rigorous, so he changed his words: "To be precise, there is a spatial mezzanine inside, which does not tolerate any main material plane, and has a tendency to exclusivity. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying, but there's no danger inside, right?"

"Of course not. The properties of the space inside are the same as those of the Yongli Continent, including gravity, direction, elements, magic, and the physical environment......"

Feige rambled on and on, but couldn't surprise the first visitor to the Magic Tower. The inside of the tower is divided into many layers except for the large place, and the top layer can see the divine crystal through the ceiling, and there is nothing else. "There's a lot of furniture, decoration, and so on, and it looks like the steps need to be repaired before I can worry about it for you. ”

"No, I don't. If I need something, I can just move it from the palace with a space spell, you don't have to worry about it. And I can make most of the stuff at my fingertips. As soon as Feiqi raised his hand, the magic tower immediately changed the structure of the ground, some rose and some fell, so there were tables and chairs. Although it wasn't as comfortable to sit on, the question of "whether there was any" was solved immediately.

Seeing the crooked and unsightly looking tables and chairs, Xia Ni couldn't help laughing: "It looks like this place is more like a toy you made, leave it to yourself to play slowly." I prefer the royal palace with windows open, where the wind smells of flowers. ”

"I understand. The Tower of Dread is too stupid, it just told me that it doesn't understand what a floral fragrance is, and it can't simulate it for you, and it feels very scared. Feiqi shook his head slowly: "You're right, let this guy adapt to the environment first, become normal, and then come here to play." ”

"Wait, this tower can talk?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you this. The tower is alive, kind of like my cat teaser, and a timid guy in character - I said this before. However, it cannot make a sound, nor can it be directly linked to consciousness other than me. You can speak directly to it, and it can conjure up characters on walls or on the ground to communicate with you. However, it takes a while to learn to understand the text. ”

"So, this is another soul similar to a young child? The little golden dragon is one, and the magic tower is another. Feiqi, do you want to have a child?" Xia Ni grabbed Feiqi's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder: "I am now learning the dragon method from my mother, I can directly use the characteristic fluctuations of the soul to give birth to a child without the body. You don't have to worry about the part of your body that comes from hell. ”

"Good, but don't rush. I asked Alyssa, and she confirmed that the dragon blood in your body will greatly extend your lifespan, and mine is also very long, so you can take your time. Whether it's the little golden dragon or the Tower of Fear, it's not the toddler I brought back on purpose. The Golden Dragon Egg was a complete windfall, and the Tower of Dread, like all smart magic items, was like a toddler at first, which was just the law of magic and didn't represent what I thought. ”

"And what do you think?" said Shani, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she looked at Feiqi.

"The Yongli Continent is not out of danger yet, and according to the predictions of stargazing, I think it will take another seven years. Seven years from now, whether I succeed or not, my time will no longer belong to the Yongli Continent, or even my empire, and there will be no them at that time, only us. Feige's eyes were closed, and his voice was a little hard, not like the tone he should have when he said these things.

"Feige, you're a little weird. Are you trying to control your emotions?"

"It's necessary. Feiqi shook his head, paused, and then opened a portal in front of him, and said to Shani, "That's it, you go back first." I'm going to set up a space circle here so that the tower can maintain a stable teleportation route to the Second World, which is needed when the Legion of Conquest departs. ”

Xia Ni didn't enter the portal immediately, she took Feiqi's hand and said, "If you have something on your mind, tell me it, and I will help you." If you feel too tired and too difficult, please don't carry it alone, because the two of us are together, right?"

"Yes, you're absolutely right. The corners of Feiqi's mouth twitched, and he smiled slightly, and then sent Shani into the portal and put her back in the palace.

He sighed deeply, then fell into deep thought.

Feige couldn't help but wonder: the creator has been driven away, so is it necessary to keep his plan absolutely secret? Especially for Shani? Is it unfair to her? He has been paving the way for his plans by hiding his emotions, controlling his expressions, and forcing people close to him away, but Shani is special, he will never send her away, and it is difficult to be truly emotionless in front of her. However, she has a strong ability to observe, and a small movement and a micro-expression can make her think a lot, and the risk of this leak is being exposed.

Obviously, sharing the secrets of his heart with Xia Ni can greatly alleviate Feiqi's tense emotions, but the difficulty of saving the Yongli Continent is very high, and even the creator can't stop it, so the whole plan is like walking a tightrope, the chance of success is just a little bit, and any details that go wrong may cause catastrophic consequences, especially regarding the specific arrangements of the plan. Fei Qi thought about it, he didn't distrust Xia Ni, but he felt that if he couldn't help but say it himself, then Xia Ni, who also knew the plan, would have to endure a lot of psychological pressure, would her emotions be wrong, would her performance inadvertently expand the scale of the leak, and the most critical question was: would she object.

Fei Qi thought about the ending left for himself, and estimated that Xia Ni would definitely oppose it. Compared with knowing the truth, keeping Xia Nimeng in the dark is more conducive to getting the best ending in the final moment. Feige sighed again and decided to go with the plan and try to do better. At the same time, he must face up to the possibility that Xia Ni may deduce his plan and stop it, and be prepared for it.

"A spell specifically designed to solve Shanny?" Fitch clawed at his hair, feeling that his thoughts were preparing to commit a crime, and that he was actually putting it into action. "How did I become a deceitful person with spells? First the Red Lotus Trial was burned at the stake, which contained torture spells, Floo Powder teleportation, and realistic illusions. Now it's time to prepare for Xia Ni...... The old routine can't be used, and it certainly can't torture her!And whatever you do to Xia Ni is very important, and it must stand up to scrutiny, so what should you do?"

Feige set very strict standards for himself, and the difficulty of achieving spells was almost sky-high, but it was also this challenge that made him feel the excitement he had not felt in a long time, and on the other hand, his spirit relaxed.

It took a long time to study this spell, and it was only after some time after the establishment of a long-term stable teleportation channel to the Second World that it was finally completed, and that was more than four months later.

His Majesty the Emperor has been preparing for a long time the plan to "fight back against the Second World", and now it has finally begun to be implemented, which is also a sign of the fulfillment of the promise. The "Expeditionary Legion" consisted mainly of knights who had lost their status, children of nobles who were "hostages", and mercenaries who wanted to earn money. To put it another way, they were all unemployed under Fitch's rule.

The removal of all noble status has resulted in the first two types of people, and the teleportation array, the task force, and the fast-reacting Hell Knights have left mercenaries and even monster hunters on the verge of losing their jobs. And as the Thunder White Potato Golem walks off the production line and begins to distribute to various working groups, further strengthening their ability to maintain order, destroy wild beasts, and attack the wilderness, the living space of mercenaries will disappear completely.

These people must get them moving and confident in their lives so that they don't become a burden or a threat. All along, the treasury has been paying outside to train—to "feed"—this army, to give them the strictest discipline and the most basic mana training. One in twenty of them had a mana response, able to light runes and fire magic spears, so Feige thought they could go—and so did Chancellor of the Exchequer Good.

The first legions of 30,000 men were ready to go, and Feige was sincerely happy to see their completely discordant armor. This army is not there to fight, and if it really wants to run into hard bones, it will be Fitch's gnawing, and the war knights and the creator are gone, so are there any real hard bones? 30,000 people, to put it bluntly, are to occupy and control order, as long as they can obediently carry out Fitch's plan, then the requirements have been met. But these words obviously can't be said to them explicitly, so won't the morale of the army be discouraged immediately?

"Warriors!" Feige levitated in the air, with a white six-winged illusion behind him, his body shrouded in divine light. Wearing a crown and holding a staff, he was majestic, and his voice was loud and majestic, "For several years, we have all lived under the threat of the night of the bloody meteors, and we have had to swallow the blood and tears of losing our loved ones, our homes, and our familiar way of life again and again!

"No!" "No!" "No!"

The discipline training is far from perfect, but it is enough, and they are not used to fight tough battles anyway. Feige gave them a smile for the first time since he began working on the "Spell for Shanny".

"We survived, but we haven't survived! The Second World has sent meteors, monsters, and the cult of destruction and rebirth to fight us, and have we sent them anything? No! But now we have! We are more noble and kind than them, and we have sent warriors who are steadfast in faith, disciplined, obedient to orders, and loyal! We have no shooting stars, monsters, and cults, we have noble people!"

Feige heard the applause and cheers, and reached out and pressed down on him so that he could continue speaking. "We not only have warriors, we also have excellent commanders and strategists! We will not use stupid methods like the Scarlet Meteor, we will not scatter our forces! We must fight steadily, occupy the position, and build the castle of the Yongli Continent to the faces of the fools of the second world! We will take revenge, and we will also transform them! And what is the most important thing to complete all this revenge and transformation?"

Feige waited for a while, and then shouted "proudly": "Without a powerful magician, without a powerful emperor, you will not be able to reach the second world at all, you can only be beaten! I will be beaten until death! I have given you a chance, now, listen to my orders, and go!"
