Chapter XVII: Stargate 5
The entire astrological platform was enlarged by Stephen in half, and the crystal ball suspended in mid-air in the center was replaced by a huge central crystal.
In order to maintain the stability of the stargate, Stephen had to infiltrate Mithril in some of the materials, and the overall structure was dominated by magic steel and crystals, because he planned to build this place into a multi-functional astral portal, so it may be more expensive than the portal built by Zenda in terms of materials. Fortunately, Stephen has already mined a lot of Mithril Mine, and there are about twelve pounds of Mithril left in his hoard, and about nine pounds left after the construction of the Astral Portal.
Countess Elijah's side reacted quickly.
Basically, as soon as Miss Tinax sent Stephen's order over, Countess Elija began to prepare supplies.
The current situation in the north is also much more chaotic than in the past, but fortunately, it has not yet spread to the side of Windy City, and the main war-torn areas are still concentrated in the area of Dragon City. If the problem of the Argonians is not solved, it will be difficult for the Normans to continue to expand. But the Argonians themselves are an unruly race, and I'm afraid the situation in the north will be chaotic for some time.
The movement of the monsters has also been a bit unusual lately.
This continent is called a barren land, and it stands to reason that the distribution of monsters is much less, but probably because of the Death Omen, the frequency of monsters is much higher than in the past. What's even more disturbing is that there are rumors of haunting in many places, which may have something to do with the Nightmare Realm, and the power of the Death Omen Star interferes too much with the Nightmare Realm, and if the line between life and death becomes blurred, it may cause ghosts to appear in the real world.
Of course.
It is impossible for them to run around during the day, even at night, and when the crescent moon itself changes abnormally.
The next day at noon.
Stephen's food was delivered.
Countess Elijah owned a sizable plot of land in the north, including three fertile estates, and it was not a problem to provide food aid to Chanda for the time being. Accompanied by little Miss Fran, who was now able to cast a number of one-ring spells, Stephen thought that she had improved significantly under her own wise teaching. However, there is also a question in front of Stephen now, that is, whether to let Miss Fran try the cultivation method of the aboriginal wizard.
She's still a little younger.
Before her body was fully developed, Stephen didn't know if there would be any after-effects if she was exposed to radiation contamination. The little girl received an education in the Arcane Empire model, and even if she did not practice the meditation methods of the aboriginal wizards, she could still reach the legendary realm through hard work in the future.
Inside the Wizard's Tower.
"Mentor, what is this?" Miss Fran was in the Wizard's Tower for the first time.
Children of this age are full of curiosity about everything, and when they first arrive here, they can't help but look around with a new look on their faces. In the hall of the wizard's tower, there were mysterious and cumbersome runes engraved on it, Miss Fran squatted down and touched it with her little hand, raised her head and said crisply: "These runes are so complicated, they look so powerful!"
Stephen smiled and touched the little girl's head and explained, "It's just some anti-gravity runes." ”
"Look here, this is an anti-gravity closure ring that can be imprinted on a floating ring. The runes here are used to reduce gravity, and the runes here are used to increase gravity. The energy output can be adjusted to reduce the effect of gravity to a factor of 0.01 or to a factor of 3.5 by energy output. ”
"When you learn the Six Rings Spell later, you can start learning these things. ”
"Ahh ”
Stephen smiled and pinched her little baby fat face, and said with a smile: "You can't be fat by eating in one breath." Take it easy. ”
"Don't. Fran don't become fat. The little girl, apparently not understanding the meaning of Stephen's words, made a cute grimace at him.
Hearing Miss Fran's words, Miss Tinax next to her looked ashamed.
Even the little girl in front of her has learned a ring of spells, but until now she can only do some level 0 tricks, and basically all the spells she can cast are the kind that come with high-level banshees.
As she passed by the bonsai at the door, Miss Fran curiously reached out and touched it, but the potted plant seemed to come to life, and in turn touched her little head with a leaf.
"Wow, it's alive!" cried the little girl.
Stephen smiled and took her little hand and walked up, and on the third floor of the wizard's tower, the monster Niang and the gorgon Elsara were already standing in the doorway.
"Miss Fran. Hello. ”
"Miss Fran. Are you hungry? Let's go eat!"
Although it was only the first time they met, Yan still looked familiar, and she wanted to take the little girl in front of her to eat just after they met.
Recently, the dragon breast meat in the warehouse has been missing about twenty pounds, and needless to say, she must have eaten it secretly.
Gorgon-Essara-Essara still has a reserved expression, and she has the best relationship with Yan in the wizard's tower, probably because both of them have the characteristics of monsters. But after all, she is a little different from Yan, who was taken to the wizard's tower by Stephen shortly after she woke up, and she was once persecuted by dark wizards and was wary of outsiders.
But she is still very satisfied with her life now, at least here she can enjoy the sunshine and food that she couldn't enjoy in the past, and her daily work is also very easy.
As she got used to the environment, she no longer wanted to go back to the dark and eerie underground caverns.
Miss Fran was very bold.
Although it was the first time she had seen the Gorgon, she was not afraid at all, but looked up and down with bright eyes, and exclaimed, "Mermaids and Gorgons?"
"They're all maids of the Wizard's Tower?"
"Wow!
After speaking, she couldn't help but look at Stephen next to her with a look of adoration.
Stephen's deepest impression on her is that she is mysterious, powerful, and kind, even the scholars invited by her family to teach culture have a mentor's shelf, but there is nothing in Stephen's body, and sometimes she can play with her behind her back. The clever little girl had noticed one thing early on, and that was that Stephen would often crouch down and maintain the same level of eye level as she had when she was standing when she was talking, a behavior rarely seen even in her mother.
The little girl couldn't say why, but she just felt that her mentor was different from everyone else!
