A secluded valley nearby.

Victor crouched nervously on the ground, his whole body melted into the darkness, carefully lurking in the grass.

"May my lord Sauron protect me!"

Victor kissed his emblem and walked around the valley in front of him from the side. During this time, the Half-Elven Church and the Shadow Thieves never stopped, and many excellent wanderers fell because of it. The order above is to find the lair of the Shadow Thief, and then follow the vine to find the base camp of the Shadow Church. This valley is one of the most likely targets, and many good people have fallen to spy on the interior of the Church.

Before Victor, there were already three first-class wanderers who had disappeared here.

"The terrain here is very hidden."

"Looking at the nearby traces, it should be artificially arranged."

Victor carefully dodged a trigger trap and crawled in like a gecko from the side wall. He was an acrobat before he advanced to the Wanderer, and he had a knack for small things that no other Wanderer could have. Sometimes in this kind of task, people like him with special expertise can often be effective.

Someone is approaching!

Victor immediately held his breath, he had already blessed the night vision spell in advance, and he could clearly see that someone was approaching.

"Shadow thief!"

"The one in the middle? Shadow Wizard! ”

"Sure enough."

"This is not their base camp, but it is also a stronghold of theirs!"

Victor's figure crouched against the wall, hesitating whether to move on or not, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to retreat. If this is really the base camp of the shadow thieves, if he rushes in, he will probably disappear mysteriously like the previous people. Let's send the news back to Modo City first and see what the arrangements are on it.

In the darkness of the night.

Victor retreated cautiously, leaving a special mark nearby before leaving.

………………

Mordo City. Shadow plane.

After spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the floating tower project in Modo City has finally come to an end.

At this time. All of Mordor's higher-ups, including Sauron, have gathered here, with Goliath and the Fallen Witch in charge of the experiment, and the High Priest in charge of maintaining the connection of the psychic force field to prevent accidents. After all, this kind of experiment is still a bit troublesome, and it takes a lot of energy to make a floating tower rise, and if it fails, I am afraid it will be a small mushroom cloud.

The Fallen Witch's expression was a little excited and nervous.

For a long time, she has devoted most of her energy to the study of the Floating City.

Raising a floating tower is the first step.

Once this step was completed, it was a good start to her plan to build a floating city.

"Start energy transfer!"

The voice of the Taling test subject rang out, and at the same time, the elemental furnace began to run wildly, and temporarily cut off the energy supply to Modor City, and the cold mechanical voice sounded: "Floating Ring 1 activated!" ”

"Floating Ring 2 activated!"

"Floating Ring 3 activated!"

"Start the separator! …… The floating tower is ready to take off! ……”

The ground began to tremble.

Everyone stared nervously in front of them. Under the huge energy supply of the Elemental Furnace, the floating rings buried under the Arcane Tower lit up one after another, and the brilliance of magical energy lit up on countless dense runes, and then with a violent trembling sound, the Arcane Tower in front of him began to rise little by little, and finally a piece of land with a diameter of about three kilometers rose to about twenty meters in the air. A huge pit appeared in the ground in front of me, and a lot of preparations were made to separate the land from the Fallen Witch.

This not only requires a lot of material resources, but also uses the spell of [Turn Mud to Stone] to fix the entire foundation.

Originally, the progress was not so fast.

But!

The advent of simulacrum greatly mentions this efficiency.

As mentioned earlier, simulacrum can retain eighty percent of the strength of the ontology's memory, in the process of completing the entire foundation transformation. Goliath and the Fallen Witch replaced all their spells with [Turn Mud into Stone], and then kept memorizing the simulacrum, using the avatar's spell slot to complete the whole process, and it only took two days to complete the underground layout of the entire floating tower.

The land below is not just rocks.

It contains a pool of elements. A large circle circuit, three underground laboratories, an energy balance device, and a multitude of spell circuit nodes arranged.

The entire Arcane Tower is only that part of the earth's surface. There are also a large number of floating rings and other spell devices buried underground.

"Liftoff is complete!"

"Activate the Energy Shield!"

The chime of the tower spirit test subject sounded again, and a strange spell light emerged, and a pillar of light rose from the top of the Arcane Tower. Immediately after that, the surrounding ground also appeared corresponding pillars of light, and finally all the spell loops formed a node in mid-air, turning into an oval-shaped protective shield that wrapped the entire floating tower from all directions.

The strong winds blowing from the shadow plane are gone.

The shield is not only designed to provide protection, but also to balance the environment inside the entire floating tower.

"Activate the Spell Propulsion!"

"Start testing!"

A floating tower must not only be able to float, it must also be able to fly, and it must not be too slow.

Arcane brilliance emerges.

A flash of light appeared on the first floor of the wizard's tower, followed by a slight vibration of the entire floating tower, and then began to move slowly to the right, gradually increasing in speed, and finally about the speed of a two-legged wyvern.

"This should be the limit."

"After all, the size of the floating island is too big! If you fly too fast, the consumption of the energy shield will be greater! ”

Goliath's voice rang out and she spoke, "Everything is stable at the moment. ”

"The energy consumption is about 10%."

"The function of the Elemental Furnace should be able to withstand it."

Although it seems to be only one percent of the consumption, but after all, this is just an ordinary operation, if it is into the combat state, then the energy load will increase in a straight line, usually need one percent of the energy consumption, and the combat state needs at least sixty percent. It seems that the limit of what the Elemental Forge can offer is a floating tower. If you want to meet the standards of the Floating City, you still have to find a way to figure out the mystery of [Elemental Fission], because only in this way can you afford the larger Floating City.

"Do you want to teleport back to Modo City?"

Sauron's voice resounded in the psychic force field, "After all, the shadow plane is not a long-term place, and it is best to be able to move back to the material plane. ”

The voice of the Fallen Witch rang out, "Not yet. ”

"This is only the first floating test, and the stability of the floating tower needs to be further tested."

"And."

"The foundation of this floating tower is not trimmed, and if teleported to the material plane, there is a risk that landing will cause internal damage."

Hearing Corinna's words, Sauron couldn't help but look at the bottom of the floating tower.

Sure enough, it was not finished, but it was separated directly from the ground, and if you want to land, you must redesign it underneath, so as to ensure that the floating tower can land in most geographical environments.

It's unrealistic to float all the time.

Because of the huge amount of energy consumed, the weight of this raised part is now more than dozens of aircraft carriers.

"Hmm."

"You can do that."

As if remembering something, Sauron spoke, "How's the research on the Magic Energy Superconducting Pulse Cannon?" Can it be copied and transferred elsewhere? “

It was Goliath who answered him, and she shook her head and said, "Not yet." ”

"There are simply not enough people."

"We lack enough Legendary-level spellcasters! My mother and I couldn't accomplish so much! ”

There's no way around it.

Any research during the Arcane Empire was demanding, and non-legendary-level spellcasters simply couldn't meet the requirements.

At present, there are only three people in Modo City who are qualified to study, one Golia, one Fallen Witch, and one legendary puppeteer Alice.

Even Sauron is a little unqualified for this.

Spread your hands.

His alchemy skills are too low!

As a true god and the master of Modor City, Sauron usually has too many things to do. And there is also a shadow lord to deal with, and there is no time to practice alchemy, a basic skill that takes a lot of time. Moreover, this basic skill will not directly improve his strength, so he can only wait for the time to be free up later to study it.

"It's time for the final step of the test!"

Speaking of this, the Fallen Witch's voice also became a little nervous, and she said slowly: "Activate the [Lost Lock] device!" ”

Airplanes.

The Elemental Forge shook suddenly, then glowed brightly.

This meant that the energy flow was greatly increased all of a sudden, and at the same time, the magnetic field of the surrounding leylines began to become chaotic in an instant.

[Lost Lock] is on!

As one of the core constructions of the Floating Tower and the Floating City, it is useless to rely on an energy shield alone, it is completely a huge target, and if you want to really make the Floating Tower have strong enough combat power, [Lost Lock] is one of the necessary components.

A force of the realm spreads.

When the Floating Tower's Mystery Lock activated, Sauron suddenly felt like he was breathing hard and feeling repulsed.

This is the energy force field of the mystery.

When the Mystery Lock is strong enough to a certain extent, it can even cover the magic net, making it impossible for people inside it to cast spells at all.

The Floating Tower's Mystery Lock isn't that powerful yet.

However, the formation of an energy force field is inevitable, as long as it is within the range of this puzzle, the casting ability of any enemy will be greatly reduced, and this proportion is at least thirty percent. If the Floating Tower's Lost Lock can be improved a little more, then it can directly seal off all enemies' ability to cast 1-3 ring low-level spells.

In other words.

Once the seal is opened, wizards below the middle level will directly become wasted!
