Chapter 40: The Magic Ladder
"Huh, what's that?" In the lake not far away, a golden light was suddenly reflected in the water near the beach, which reflected in Flandy's eyes.
The lake is covered with tiny waves, making the golden light glitter and will not be noticed if you don't pay attention.
Flandi jumped directly from the sixth floor, and the height of tens of meters was no longer difficult for him now. Walked straight to the place where the golden light came from, and found that it was not far offshore. I walked three or four meters with water, and the water just reached my knees. His hand went down and pulled out a palm-sized plate of fine gold in the sand at the bottom of the lake.
Adamantite is a metal that transmits the elements of the essence of magic without loss, and it never rusts, reflecting a harsh light even after years of immersion in water.
This piece of pure gold has been slightly deformed, and Flandy looked back at the magic tower that had been abandoned by the explosion, and thought to himself, it was probably because of the explosion that it was blown up here, and he didn't expect to be picked up by himself many years later.
Looking carefully at this fine gold plate, I found that it was engraved with dense lines, it was obviously a magic array, although it had been slightly deformed, but the magic array was still relatively intact.
Now Flandy became interested, he found that this magic array he had never seen before, but judging from the complexity of the magic array, it should be a magic that is at least intermediate level.
Using the knowledge he had learned about the magic array, Flandi followed the lines to push back the function of the magic array, but he didn't expect that this magic array was completely opposite to the principle of the magic array he had learned.
The principle of almost all magic arrays is to extract magic elements from essentia ampoules, and then input them into the magic crystal, so that the magic seeds in the magic crystal can be combined into the magic pattern that has been designed in the magic array to release magic.
However, this magic array does not have a magic pattern setting, but it seems to be pulling back the magic elements in the magic crystal. Then pour in essentia ampoules.
"Theoretically, it doesn't work at all. "Flandi is a little puzzled, the magic element in nature is very active, it is impossible to be collected into the essentia ampoule, if it is forcibly collected, in case it is still the fire element, then there is only one end......
Brandi looked at the ruined magic tower and seemed to understand something.
However, this line of thinking opened Flandi's eyes, and if it was possible to collect the magical elements of nature to the point where they could be used for magical items, then the invention was definitely not much less important than the magic activator.
But looking at the ruined magic tower, Flandi thinks it's better to be cautious about this, otherwise the lessons of the past are in front of him.
Silently putting away the piece of pure gold magic array, Flandi looked at the sky and walked towards the restaurant.
............
With the help of magical powers, it is not difficult to build a magic tower. Several earth magicians joined forces, and it only took four days to demolish the original dilapidated magic tower, leaving a clearing.
However, when they saw the architectural drawings of the magic tower designed by Frandi, they were a little dazed. Because on the drawings two underground buildings were drawn, one fifty meters underground and the other a hundred meters deep underground.
The space of these two underground buildings is not small, the one fifty meters underground is going to be used to build his own meditation room and whispering grass plantation, and the one hundred meters underground is going to be used as his own magic testing ground.
It is very extravagant to use a very good demon-blocking effect of Gaia steel to build as a whole, although this steel is not as hard as Terra steel, but it is very good at the defense of magic, and some of the richer samurai are using this kind of armor to resist the magic of Warcraft.
And Franky was afraid that it was not safe enough, and the gaia steel was also doped with quartz, an additive, to make this magic test more strong. Resistance to magic is greatly increased.
Even Vice President Gavin was a little distressed. Quartz is okay to say, but so much Gaia steel accounts for almost half of the entire empire's production. Just built an underground structure to experiment with magic. And Flandy wasn't a magician, just an alchemist. Even adding the identity of a demon warrior feels too wasteful.
Neither Algernor nor himself had a tacit understanding of Frandi's ability to do magic, because the magic he cast was too shocking.
When Teacher Algernon found out, he agreed very much, and wanted to build this magic trial site more robustly, regardless of the cost.
The most strange thing for the earth mages and craftsmen is that there is no spiral staircase on the top of Flandy's figure, but a straight passage downward. From a hundred meters underground, it leads directly to the top floor of the Magic Tower.
This was prepared for Flandi himself, who had been living in Algernon's Magic Tower for the past few years, and every day he was tired of going down the stairs from the eleventh floor of the magic tower down the stairs to the meditation room underground. A round trip is at least half an hour wasted.
So he plans to build an elevator with a magic engine in his magic tower...... Or maybe it's better to call it a magic ladder.
During the period of building the magic tower, Flandi was not idle, in addition to going to the construction site every day to see, he had already made more than a dozen magic engines, large and small, all of which were prepared for various purposes.
Three months have passed in a flash, and with the efforts of the earth magicians and craftsmen, the main body of the magic tower, including the underground buildings, has been largely completed. The magic tower is still nine floors, and the height is about the same as before. But on the south side of the road leading to the outside world, a small square has been built.
The square was paved with huge bluestone bricks and reinforced with ground magic, and the flower beds on either side were not yet fully ready, but it was only a matter of time.
At this time, Flandy was installing a magic ladder on the ninth floor, and he asked the craftsmen to make a large closed iron box out of ordinary steel to use as a car, with a sliding door on one side of the car. The entire magic ladder is hung from a steel beam at the top of the tower by a thin chain made of Terra steel.
The vertical passage has a Adamantite Magic Circle installed between each floor, allowing the magic ladder to stop exactly where it is parked. It greatly facilitates the entry and exit of the magic ladder.
The car was large enough for twenty or thirty people to ride together, and no one had ever installed such a magic ladder before, so Franky had to do it himself.
Because of the need for secrecy, he cast the entire mana activator in a single block of steel to prevent anyone from prying eyes, and if someone brute-force cracked it, he could only damage the mana activator.
In order to facilitate control, the magic engine is installed on the top of the car, and a silver wire is output to the inside of the car, connecting the corresponding buttons of each staircase, so that the magic ladder can be parked on any floor except the ninth floor.
The control button of the magic ladder is not set to the ninth floor, and Frandy must use his mental power to control the magic engine to go up, because he wants to use the ninth floor as a storage room for all kinds of precious items. Except that you can't let others in. Of course, this is also the practice of all magic towers, and each magic tower will be very closely protected from the place where it stores its precious items.
After a few trials back and forth, Flandi felt very satisfied, and it only took less than a minute to descend from the top nine floors to the magic trial room one hundred meters underground, and then ascend from the ground to the top floor, because the car was very heavy, and the rotation of the magic engine was a little difficult. It took nearly five minutes.
It seemed that the momentum of the ascent was a bit small, and Flandi emphasized the knob that controlled the suppression of the magic array, and activated it again, this time shortening the ascent time from the underground building to the ninth floor to less than two minutes. That's when I was satisfied.
The architectural part of the magic tower is largely completed. The earth magicians have used the earth system level 3 magic "stone shaping technique" to strengthen the entire tower body and the underground, and their task is completed, and the remaining odd and miscellaneous work is continued by ordinary craftsmen.
