The wizards of the school of sorcery were banished before the Thurium Age, and although the wizarding civilization of that period was not comparable to the Arcane Empire, there were also many floating cities exploring the universe. But now looking at the aboriginal civilization in front of Stephen's eyes, at most the level of the medieval period, it can be said that the progress of civilization has regressed very seriously, which must have been caused by something terrible. It is not known what happens on the other side of the strait, but this complete separation of wizards from ordinary people is itself a deformed feature of civilization. In the Supreme Arcane Council, aside from the floating city roaming in the universe, it is only a planet ruled by the Great Arcanists, and every move of the wizards is closely related to the lives of ordinary people, especially after the completion of the research of [High Elemental Fission] and [High Magic Energy Transformation], the achievements of wizards change the progress of civilization all the time, and at the same time make the lives of ordinary people change with each passing day.

In particular, the development of [Magic Power Armor] allows ordinary people to join the war against alien insects.

While the Supreme Arcane Council has avoided war with the gods through the turbulence of time and space, they have encountered an even more formidable enemy in the new universe, which is the alien species that have great ties to the Abyssal Zerg and the Fermi Ant Clan.

They are the Supreme Arcane Council's greatest enemies at the moment!

The insects have powerful bodies, and the mother insects have spiritual powers, and the danger is even higher than that of the prince of the Abyss Zerg.

Their social structure is similar to that of the Fermi ants, and the most powerful mothers may be more dangerous than the gods, and the Supreme Arcane Council has been fighting for nearly eight hundred years since they encountered them at the edge of the void. The origin of the alien species is unknown, but they retain many of the characteristics of the Abyssal Zerg. The Council believes that the Zerg lineage has infiltrated the multiverse, and that their parent body has mastered the ability to pass through spatial barriers.

After settling the matter of Count Keaton, Stephen's energy began to shift to developing the Mithril Mine.

With an associated Mithril Mine, Stephen has been able to leapfrog a progression from building an 'Underground Temporary Vault' to developing a 'Basic Wizard's Tower'.

The Wizard Tower is a large-scale integrated fortress for comprehensive strategic defense research, and a qualified wizard tower must at least be able to withstand an intercontinental missile-level attack, while having a stable supply of magic energy, a small Mystery Lock protective energy field, an ultra-long-range strike device, a built-in Golem Legion, and a tower spirit construction commander, etc.

At the moment, Stephen couldn't do any of this, because he didn't have the expensive materials to make these devices.

All Stephen can build now is a basic wizard tower, the protection depends on the placement of spell traps, the long-range strike basically relies on his own spells, and the Golem Legion does not have one now, and the supply of magic energy can only rely on the leyline nodes.

As for the main material for the construction of the Wizard's Tower, it is currently being prepared to use the less strong but convenient 'cement'.

An ideal wizard tower should use obsidian as the main building material, which not only has good magic channeling, but also works with the operation of the Lock's protective force field. Stephen hasn't discovered obsidian yet, and his current strength can't use alchemy to continuously convert magma into obsidian, so everything can only come first.

Preliminary calculations.

Stephen intends to build a thirty-five meter high, eight-hundred-square-meter, ten-story wizard tower near the Mithril Associated Mine.

The main body of the Wizard's Tower is made of rock and cement, which is expected to require a lot of labor, and the material cost is initially estimated to be more than 100,000 gold coins, and the construction period is set to one and a half months, of course, mainly in the case of Stephen's own hands.

Except for him, no one can build a wizard tower in a month and a half.

Golden Creek Manor.

The day after Stephen Chow left with Countess Elijah, a second victim reappeared in the manor.

This time it was not a woman, but a manor guard, who was found dead in the back garden early in the morning, his body cold and stiff, his lips blue and his expression terrified. The deceased was the guard in charge of the night vigil last night, the squire of the knight of Tionte, who had been trained as a knight since the age of twelve, and was more effective than many elite soldiers. But the knight of such a reserve was killed without knowing it, and by the time the chief butler of Bernard learned the news, panic had spread uncontrollably throughout the manor, and many servants were in a state of panic, and the guards in charge of guarding the manor were also in a commotion.

Bernard's butler quickly had the body cleaned up, and then summoned a young guard.

Yesterday he stayed in his room all night to prevent the Bloody Mandala from harming people again, but the accident eventually happened, and he could be sure that the Bloody Mandala never left his room.

This means that something else killed the guards!

"You were on patrol with him yesterday, right?" said the big butler Bernard with bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice.

The young guard stammered with an uneasy expression, "Yes...... Yes. ”

The chief butler breathed a little heavier, and said solemnly: "Tell me! What happened yesterday?"

The guard's expression was a little frightened, and after a long while, he whispered, "Yesterday we patrolled together, and then he said he was going to urinate, and we ...... I don't remember ......"

"No!" the butler stood up with a loud cry, and said in a deep voice, "What do you absolutely know......?"

The young guard stood up in fright all of a sudden, and said in a panic: "I said...... I saw it yesterday with Hamm...... Saw Miss Tinax...... She...... She wore a white dress...... Walking in the back garden......"

A cloudy wind blew.

The candle flame in the room flickered, and not only the big butler Berner felt a chill all over his body, but the faces of the two middle-aged knights next to him also changed greatly.

The guard continued to stammer, "I'...... I was terrified......"

Miss Tinax is dead.

The news soon spread throughout the manor, but they actually saw Miss Tinax walking in the back garden in the evening.

Isn't this a ghost?

For a moment everyone felt a trace of fear, and the butler Bernard was also pale, as if he had thought of something, and his expression was very uneasy.

The guard continued to stammer, "I'm terrified...... Want to leave...... But Hamm ...... Hamm insisted on going along...... He has always had a crush on Miss Tinax...... Many people know about this...... I didn't dare to go...... Frightened, he returned to his room...... And then...... Then the next morning, he was found dead in the back garden......"

Not a bloody mandala killing.

Something more terrible was killing, and the Boss finally knew why Stephen had left in a hurry.

The problem was worse than he had imagined, something terrible was parasitic on the bloody mandala and was already taking shape, it was killing the creatures of the manor to draw power.
