Chapter 120: Arrival
While it may seem impossible to build a mage tower deep underwater, a powerful archmage can still accomplish this miracle. Normally, underwater mage towers are usually built on the ground and then transported by boat to the location of the mage tower, where they are fixed underwater with the help of aquatic races such as fishmen, sea elves, merfolk or sea tribes, which can be complicated to build, but it is a very good choice for a mage who is withdrawn or loves the ocean very much. Normally, these structures are designed to draw air through their walls underwater, but mages who have adapted to survive underwater will cancel this design and rely solely on their own spells to survive. This removes the threat of a catastrophe that will bring down the structure of the Mage Tower, and makes it harder for creatures that need to breathe air to attack it.
The underwater Mage Tower will provide some advantages to the Mage. Summoning water creatures and water elementals is easier here than elsewhere, and it's easier to get to the water plane. Of course, the underwater environment blocks the inflow of fire elemental energy, so it is difficult to summon such creatures here, and even to get in touch with the fire elemental plane.
In a mage tower, alchemy, botany, and other aspects of research are required, all of which involve the use of plants. Therefore, the botanical pavilion is quite necessary.
Such a botanical pavilion is equivalent to a small ecosystem, which allows mages to grow a variety of plants with different growth environments in their own homes, and the magic arrays and runes in such a botanical pavilion can make plants thrive in the absence of sunlight.
And the Great Mentor Daedalus walked in the center of the botanical pavilion of such a mage tower.
It's like going back to the primeval jungle 10,000 years ago, and there is a giant tree in the center of the botanical pavilion, although it seems to occupy a small area, its roots and branches extend far away, almost enveloping the entire botanical pavilion.
In addition to all this, all the plants around here are extremely precious types, just growing like weeds everywhere is Starlight Grass, the juice of this herb can be used to draw runes, the magic transmission effect is excellent, it is the best material for ordinary one-time arrays, because of the over-collection in the past, it has now become an endangered species, and the price is very expensive.
And in this beautiful botanical pavilion, this is just the most ordinary one, no matter what plants, how "ordinary" they look here, they are not ordinary plants, ordinary plants will not appear in this botanical pavilion at all......"
Nowhere else is there such a variety of species as here, and the botanical pavilion covers a large area that looks like a hodgepodge of various natural environments. There are grasslands, rainforests, swamps, plains, various types of forests, and even deserts.
But without exception, it is full of all kinds of plants, trees, herbs, full of green breath, all kinds of flowers and leaves come from the fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed, any plant can find the terrain suitable for its survival here, all kinds of strange flowers and plants compete for beauty, from this end of the continent to that end of the rarity are planted here, and regardless of whether the temperament is not in harmony or not, all are growing here safely.
I am afraid that no one had ever seen such a shocking place, but Daedalus was very indifferent, and he walked among the plants, touching the petals of the flowers, and rubbing the leaves there, and looked around as if to find something.
Soon, he walked to the edge of the botanical pavilion and looked out of the sealed window.
Outside is a beautiful world of water, and it's not the barren ocean floor, it's ...... An even more incredible kingdom in the water.
Countless mermaids swim around in the water, and there is an incredibly huge city underneath, conservatively estimated to be able to accommodate millions of people, and it is full of mermaids.
These fish-tailed, sea-dwelling creatures have always evoked the fantasies of the land-based races, but their legends are not all fantasies - their tears condense into precious gems, they are good at brocade weaving and painting, and they can build huge cities and temples in the sea.
Merfolk are naturally able to breathe in water, but suffocate in the air, and their upper body is humanoid, the lower half of their body is fishtail, and they have long fins on the back of their elbows and back to facilitate movement in the water, and their clothing and armor also leave openings for these fins.
This is the country of the Sea Tribe.
Daedalus actually built a mage tower in the kingdom of the Sea Clan! You know, humans and sea tribes are hostile!
At this time, Daedalus walked out of the botanical pavilion, passed through the seal, stepped into the water, he gave himself an underwater breath, and then walked naturally in the water.
The Sea Clans who passed by saluted, the commoners saluted, the merchants or wealthy people who looked a little more powerful bowed, and some of the more gorgeously dressed and taller Sea Clans greeted him from a distance, and Daedalus smiled back.
He walked all the way, and just as he was about to leave the city, at last, a sea tribe that seemed to be of high enough status rushed over.
"Great Mentor! Great Mentor! Why do you have to leave just now! "The richly dressed sea tribe rushed over in the water, and the mermaid looked like a human being fifty or sixty years old, quite senile, and Daedalus looked like a child in comparison.
"Ah......" Daedalus saw the Sea Clan, showing a slightly distressed expression, but he still quickly sorted out his demeanor and bowed slightly: "Your Royal Highness, what kind of sea current blew you here?" ”
"Great Teacher, why are you here? If the king found out, you might be wanted, and if someone hadn't informed me, the news would have gotten out! The mermaid, known as the Prince, said anxiously.
"Wanted? But...... I remember the Sea Emperor saying that I could walk freely in the sea without being affected by the hostility between the Sea Tribes and humans. Daedalus looked a little puzzled.
"That's the last Sea Emperor! After the death of that ancient sea emperor dragon, wasn't my brother succeeding to the throne? He has now overturned all of Gu Long's decrees! You need to be careful! The Sea Clan hurriedly said, with some dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was very unhappy with his brother's overturning of the decree.
"Overthrow? No, I remember...... My friend has a child, and the successor is not the Sea Emperor Dragon, but the Sea Clan? The Grand Instructor's face was surprised.
"It's only been a long time since I've been here, and although I've been busy with things on the Celestial Realm lately, I haven't paid attention to anything else, but...... What's going on? Daedalus was confused.
