CHAPTER XXXIX
Soul crystals are divided into five levels: miniature, small, medium, large, and legendary according to their mass and quantitative energy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The lowest-level clay golems use miniature soul crystals, but the clay golems made of these soul crystals have extremely low intelligence levels and are only capable of slashing and cleaning. Their tiny soul cores can only receive the simplest commands, such as 'kill all the intruders that enter here', 'clean this room', 'move this thing over there', etc., and the clay golem has a worrying IQ. Basically, this level of Clay Golem is not up to the job of the mining area, and a qualified mining golem needs to be powered by at least a small or larger soul hedron.
Normally, the more advanced the Soul Hedron used, the more intelligent the Golem Golem is, and the high-end Tower Spirit Construct uses Legendary-level Soul Crystals.
They can be responsible for maintaining the day-to-day running of the entire wizard tower.
After a preliminary survey of the mining area, Stephen drew a huge circle covering an area of about fifty square meters, which was used to find the leyline nodes. The underground of any world has a primitive magic vein, the aborigines are called strange, but the name is just a codename, the leyline node usually rises and falls along the mountains, and there is a certain relationship with the strength of the underground magnetic field, you can call it the mountain dragon vein, the elemental branch, the magic node, etc., but in essence it is just the intersection of natural energy. Wizards of these places are usually selected to build towers and secret realms.
"Hmm. The leyline node is on the hill over there. ”
Stephen climbed a hill to take a look, then took out the manuscript and began excavation. The intersection of the leyline nodes is halfway up a mountain peak, about 1500 meters away from the flat land, and there are cliffs on the side, so ordinary people can't climb up at all. Even Stephen would have been difficult to climb without the help of spells, so he needed to modify the nearby terrain first. This was not easy for other wizards, but it was unusually simple for Stephen Zhou, who was going to build a platform that led directly to the leyline node, and then cut out the stone halfway up the mountain.
Stephen used the most violent method, starting to pick up the dirt directly from the bottom of the mountain.
He swept all the way up to the rock layer, and then cleaned up the rock layer, and the iron pickaxe chiseled the mountain rock under the action of the law, and directly built a smooth staircase up the road.
Probably because the alchemist's aesthetic pened for neatness and symmetry, Stephen took a little more time to remove all the irregular rocks around him, and paved the road with half a brick of more than 300 units of marble. It took him about six hours to complete a winding staircase more than 500 meters long, and if such a project were to be done by the aborigines, even if a lot of manpower was invested, it would take half a month. Digging rocks was just a basic routine for the Stephen family, and he looked up at the time and saw that it was not too early, so he took out the marble he had prepared to build a house.
Using the power of the law of changing matter, there is no need for binders, and Stephen directly used marble to pull out a small bungalow six meters high.
This is the foundation of the Wizard's Tower.
When everything was in place, Stephen would expand the bungalow, and the underground part would need to be remodeled, and the two sides would need to be extended to the platform. If space wasn't enough, Stephen wouldn't mind spending a week just ripping off all the peaks of the mountain. When the time comes, it looks as if the entire mountain peak has been cut off and the neat platform laid out, and then the wizard tower will be built directly on top of it.
Stephen came out this time with a lot of materials.
After arranging the iron ingots neatly, he made a hammer with his bare hands and began to build the rails.
With the power of the law of changing the form of matter, the hard steel was like soft earth in Stephen's hands, and he easily hammered out the model of the rails, and then took out the prepared wood. Most of the length of the mine rails is relatively short, so there is no need for Stephen to prepare the corresponding molds. By the time he had estimated the approximate steel consumption, it was almost dark, and Stephen was not tired of his exuberant energy, so he gathered his thoughts and began to look for clay.
The main material of the Clay Golem is clay.
That is, the kind used to burn porcelain, it is a kind of soil with few sand grains, there is a sticky soil, and it is not easy for water to pass through it and has good plasticity.
Although the indigenous people of this world have a civilization close to the Middle Ages, most of the utensils used are still pottery. Clay is widely distributed in this world, but Stephen wants the kind of clay that is whitish. From a chemical point of view, its main components should be silicon oxide and alumina.
Stephen was in high demand for this clay, and it would be useful to make other golems in the future.
..................
Meanwhile.
While Stephen is busy building his own wizard's tower, Countess Elia is also learning how to deal with the affairs of the entire family.
The direct members of the Norrington family basically died, and even her husband's two cousins were executed by the Earl of Keaton. Countess Illya is now completely recruiting from scratch, and although the messenger sent to the south has already departed, it will be at least a month or two before she gets a response. Now she urgently needs someone who is familiar with internal affairs, because after regaining the lost territory, Madame Illya must take her daughter around the fiefdom while taking care of taxes, farming, trade, and so on. The Norrington family has tax authority in Crowtown, and the best thing to do at the moment is to replace the mayor, tax collector, and garrison officer with someone she trusts, but she simply doesn't have many people to do it right now.
There was a housekeeper on the manor's side who could be chosen to deal with it, but many other places were simply not within the control of the original servants.
She needs talent.
It must be a person who can read, arithmetic, and know management, and the first article can veto more than 80 percent of the people in this era.
Night falls.
Countess Elija was very tired after a busy day, and although it was very difficult at first, now that she had gradually mastered some skills, she believed that she would soon be able to hold the power of the family firmly in her hands.
"Ma'am. The middle-aged maid on the side leaned over slightly.
Countess Elia took off her shawl, gloves, and necklace, and while taking off her noble dress, she asked, "Hasn't Lord Stephen returned yet?"
The pronunciation of the surname Zhou is a bit strange, and in many cases it is called Stephen.
"Yes. The middle-aged maid replied.
Madame Illya thought for a moment and ordered softly: "Send someone to bring some food, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish and shrimp from the river, and the deer that the guards hunted today." In addition, send someone to prepare some full-vintage wines, and be careful to send them all to the mine tomorrow morning. ”
The middle-aged servant said, "Okay." Madam. ”
"Having people prepare hot water. I'm really tired today. I'm going to take a shower. Countess Elijah took off her lady's dress, revealing her pale white lace-trimmed underwear, her plump and seductive body looming, she spread her long hair and took off her earrings, and then walked barefoot to the bathroom.
Stephen has been in the mine for three days.
It seemed that he was still going to stay there for a long time, and although the other party did not give any orders, Countess Illya still often sent people to express her heart. Now Stephen is her biggest support, and she will try anything that might win the favor of the other party.
