Chapter 94: Gathering Core and Mage Tower
Sephorosa led the heat and began a major construction.
Dalaran's mage construction team arrived soon. However, it was not the 4 private mage construction teams hired by Orondo that came first, but the Dalaran official mage construction team.
This construction team came to build his mage tower.
Led by the two mages, Orondo did not recognize them, but recognized the identity of their foreman through the Kenrito badge on their chests.
"On Kenrito's orders. I've come to build the Mage Tower for you, Master Sephorosa. "The human mage at the head was expressionless, and said in a very official tone." As a rule, we will only build the foundation of the Mage Tower for you. You'll need to do the rest yourself, or pay us to do it. ”
Orondo nodded.
Don't choose the ownerless mage tower in Dalaran, you have to build your own mage tower. Kenrito will only provide some funding, and the amount of the grant will not exceed 50,000 Dalaran gold coins.
Fifty thousand Dalaran gold coins are only enough to build the energy layer of the foundation of a mage tower.
Ansrem Ruinvivol and Kel'thugad also chose to build the Mage Tower here, and the two of them were treated in this way.
Luckily, Orondo has a good uncle.
The other person in charge of the construction team, a High Elf mage, looked at Orondo with a smile: "Hello, Master Sephorosa. I am Passaren Dawnblade. His Highness Kael'thas personally sponsors you with materials for 50,000 gold coins of Dalaran. And send his team of puppets to help with the construction, and your Mage Tower's energy layer will be completed quickly. ”
As long as it's a High Elf, it's hard to hate Orondo. Not because he had half Sunstrider blood, or because his cousin was called Kael'thas.
It's just that the arcane aura on his body, in the arcane sense of smell of the High Elves, is almost no different from the sunwell.
Do any High Elves hate Sunwells?
No..
In the absence of conflict, it's hard for the High Elves to hate Orondo, who tastes like Sunwell nine-for-nine.
In Dalaran, the High Elves couldn't help but smile when they saw him. If it weren't for the fact that Kael'thas forbade Gao Jing to contact him in order to observe him in the early stage.
Orondo won't just have Aunt Solanlian, he'll have a lot of high-quality friends.
The ban on contact has been lifted, and the High Elves begin to contact Orondo. Orondo's High Elf friends are only going to grow.
This is not the first time Orondo has seen Passaren Dawnblade, and when he goes to his uncle's mage tower to learn the power of the Spellbreaker, he often meets this advisor of Kael'thas.
Most elves have a mediocre attitude towards human mages, and they can even say a word of arrogance towards ordinary humans.
But with Orondo, they have always had a very good attitude. At first probably because of Kael'thas, and later because of his arcane scent. He didn't experience the arrogance of the elves, but the kindness of the elves.
Pasalene is a well-known magician and weapon master among the elves, as well as a powerful mage. It is said that the Dawn Blade, one of the great Quel'Salas clans, is very good at swordsmanship, and even their clan name is the "Blade" of Dawn.
"Good day, Passaren. May the sunwell always be favored by you. "Orondo was polite. If the elves are polite to him, he will also be polite to the elves, and vice versa.
Say hello a little and get to work.
The Dalaran official mage construction team that came to Severosa to lead has hundreds of people, all of whom are official mages, and they are all good at enslaving and controlling the elements.
Passarein also brought more than twenty elven mages sent by Kael'thas who brought more than fifty arcane golems.
Arcane golem technology has always been a secret of Silvermoon City. Dalaran has been copiing it for many years, and as a result, everything is scratched.
On the contrary, the dwarf mage is very talented in this field, and it is not as beautiful and durable as the elven arcane golem, but it is also simple and effective.
Orondo's thirty-six powerful earth elementals were not repatriated, twenty-four were to help build the school's buildings, and twelve were called in to help.
Coupled with the elves' unique arcane golems, the elements of migrant workers enslaved by Mage Dalaran, now excavated, the foundation can be laid at noon, twice as fast as normal.
The human mage of the construction team took out a special magic web reader, ready to record the fluctuations of the leylines, and excavated where the data was strongest.
Standing next to Orondo, the Dawnblade with an intoxicated expression on his face suddenly spoke, "I have a better one here." ”
He pulls out a new Magic Web reader.
"This is my new gadget based on Quel'Thalas's latest Magic Web Reader. It is more accurate, and it can feel the direction of the underground magic web veins. ”
The human mage leader shrugged and looked at Orondo, wondering what he meant.
Calculator Passaren, Kael'thas is the number one technician and professional technician. Orondo was willing to believe him in this regard, nodded and said to Passaren, "Excuse me. ”
"It's a gesture." Staying by Orondo's side feels like being in Quelldanus. Although the energy concentration is not enough, the breath is too similar.
——————
Passarena took out his special magic web reader and carefully analyzed the flow of magical energy in the vicinity.
"I have to say, the concentration is not very good. It's not a poor area, but it's too ordinary. The concentration is only half of Dalaran's, and with the Concentrated Energy Core, it can only reach 2/3 of the normal concentration of Dalaran's arcane energy. ”
"This is really not a good place to build a mage tower. ”
Elunis also whispered, "He's right. This place is so barren! Flowers that don't bloom magic! ”
Orondo shook his head.
"That's it."
The calculator sighed and pointed out a few coordinates to the mage construction team.
At Passaren's suggestion, the twelve-headed powerful earth elemental began to work. The mages were amazed by the speed at which they dug into the ground, and the ground seemed to be dissolved and sank down at an incredible rate.
Digging twenty meters underground, the leyline magic net was exposed. After blessing the three-ring spell "Arcane Vision", you can see the blue-white halo emitting a 'dry' arcane energy. However, the design depth has not yet been reached, and it will not be completed until it is 35 meters deep.
Elunis suddenly said, "You can dig a little deeper." The effect will be a little stronger. Kid, a depth of fifty meters is a good choice. ”
Orondo felt like believing it.
He consulted with Passaren. It was decided to dig a little deeper, deepening the design by fifteen meters.
A total depth of fifty meters.
The depth is too deep, and trace amounts of soil and water in the soil emerge from the deep pits. The mage construction team had expected it and teamed up to suppress the elemental restlessness with spells.
Twelve magical metal pillars with a diameter of one Dalaran foot were struck down from fifty meters, and stopped at a depth of ten meters, and there were still about five meters in the exposed part.
Elunis whispered, "They call this the Magical Foundation?" At the end of the infinite darkness, just pick up a stone, and it contains more energy than them! ”
Orondo ignored it.
These metal cylinders can be replaced at a later date.
With a normal mage tower design, there will only be six. Kael'thas funded 50,000 gold coins, so there was half more magic metal pillars.
Twelve magical metal pillars, which account for half of the construction cost of the foundation of the Mage Tower.
"The official work is about to begin. Please watch it carefully. Passaren did not forget to remind Orondo.
After all, the Mage Tower belongs to Orondo, and if he wants to rebuild or add other facilities in the future, he will have to do it himself.
"Eyes of truth, start remembering, from now until the foundation is built, don't let go of any detail, keep all the records."
[Understand, complete memorization begins.] 】
Orondo's vision and thinking changed a little bit, and anything his eyes saw was clearly remembered in his mind.
The first is the Gathering Core, a total of eight glowing crystals that were taken out by Passaren and the bald mage.
"Eight energy nodes. They can help absorb nearby arcane energy. Passaren explained.
The glowing crystals were dropped, scattered in eight locations in the pit, enclosing twelve pillars of magical metal.
"These twenty objects are worth 80,000 gold coins. This is still the official friendship price of Dalaran. If you build it yourself, the price of an object material will cost 10,000 gold coins. Counting the technical cost of building, 300,000 Dalaran gold coins are the base. The bald mage didn't seem to be able to see Orondo, a human territory, who was too close to the elves, and he explained out loud.
The foundation of the energy layer is almost complete, and the construction mages and puppets brought by the elves will take over the work.
The construction team began to build the foundations and pillars on top of the energy layer, using a white liquid that looked like cement mixed with a little magic metal.
Elunis whispered, "Compared to when she built Karazan, these people are as stupid and ridiculous as children playing with mud." ”
Nonsense. Of course, there is no way to compare with Karazhan. Egwen has been a guardian for hundreds of years, and he has saved up an unknown number of good things before he built Karazan!
When they solidify, Passaren said, they become hard foundations. This is the foundation of a mage's tower.
Halfway through the foundation, Orondo consulted with Passaren and the bald mage to leave an empty space in the middle of the foundation.
"I will improve the energy core myself in the future, and I want to reserve a place." He said.
"That doesn't make sense. It will hinder the work of the Gathering Core and the circle, affecting efficiency. The bald mage frowned.
"It's not impossible." Passaren took out a tool and did a quick calculation, "Coordinates 233 and 16 shifted one inch to the left. Shifting the 37 coordinates to the right by one inch can leave enough new cores in the middle position to do so, and will not interfere with the original set of Shaped Core work. ”
The bald mage was not convinced, and he also made a quick calculation. It turned out that Passaren was right.
Elunis whispered, "What do you want to do?" Energy core? It's better to be devoured by me! ”
Orondo replied impatiently, "I was going to shove you in." It's a pity you hid in my heart! ”
Elunis stopped talking.
If it is used as the energy core of the Mage Tower, it is indeed an excellent choice.
Egwene had thought so back then.
Fortunately, in the tower she named Karazhan, the prototype of the mage tower originally had its own energy foundation, and the quality was no worse than that of Elunis, which allowed Elunis to escape.
Orondo strongly demanded.
The bald mages and Passaren could only order the mages to make their places.
The foundation began to be laid.
The funds sponsored by Dalaran and Kael'thas were only enough to lay the foundation, so by the evening the construction was completed - a white foundation of over fifty meters in diameter, with twelve magical metal pillars at twelve corners.
"It's too big. A normal mage tower is only half the size of it. Passaren commented.
"It's a lot of money. The total cost of the Ordinary Mage Tower is also only 200,000 Dalaran gold coins. Your Mage Tower spent 100,000 gold in resources and manpower, but only built a foundation. The bald mage shook his head, and he didn't say anything too lofty.
Orondo was satisfied.
The Mage Tower has not yet been built, and there is still a lot of work to be done before it is fully formed. But that's fine, he wants a half-finished product.
Again, Passaren advised: "I can give you a discount. For the later construction projects, we only charge three percent off the labor costs. ”
The bald mage glanced at Passaren, but he didn't speak. The elves have a huge influence in Dalaran, and if the elves insist on doing so, Kenrito may actually give Orondo a discount.
He didn't have to be a bad guy.
Orondo shook his head.
"That's fine. The rest of the construction was done by me, the owner. ”
Eight concentrating cores have begun to work, eight small mana nodes have been formed, and the energy in the leyline magic network continues to condense, which is enough to meet the requirements of the mage apprentices when they cast spells.
As for the vacant spot.
Orondo had an idea.
