A Mage Tower is a very useful co-asset for Mages. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, its powerful defense and counterattack capabilities, in times of danger in the outside world, this is a haven for mages to take refuge, and it is the most reliable refuge for mages to hide from powerful enemies or huge chaos.
Mages often need to craft magical items, research new spells, or conduct other research, and the Mage's Tower is also a laboratory for storing large amounts of arcane and alchemical testing equipment. All mages must have spellbooks, magic items, or other treasures around them, and the Mage Tower is also a great place to keep them. Moreover, the speed and effect of cultivating meditation in the Mage Tower are far beyond the outside world, and a Mage Tower is also a holy place for cultivation.
It can be said that a mage tower is the all-round abode that accompanies his master throughout his life. The Mage's Tower is his home, his sanctuary, his research center, and his fortress.
An old mage tower is a place that shelters mages and apprentices other than its builders, passing on the knowledge of the arcane from generation to generation.
The construction of each mage tower is a great event in the mage world, and it is said that it is here
o Lin, every time a mage tower is built, the nearby mages will spontaneously go to celebrate.
Celt though with
o Lin and Gardri branched out at the same time as the Bannai Empire, but there are not many mage forces inherited in this kingdom, and even the ** division power of the Mage Association was originally recruited from other places, so in addition to a high mage tower, there are only a few primary mage towers in the territory of Selt, but there are more inheritance of swordsman knights, with ace forces such as the Ansel Holy Sword Legion and the Glory Knights.
If Dalaran's Mage Tower can be built, it will definitely be a grand event, which will greatly enhance Selt's mage power and enhance his comprehensive national strength!
After consulting with the many silver mages in the realm, Donald decided that Dalaran was also the first mage tower in the North County in the middle of the Shogune Forest.
One is that the mage tower needs to be far away from the crowd, and naturally the more abundant the natural elements, the better, the two places of the moonlight woodland and the moonlight lake can be said to be the most abundant places in the territory, but the former is a settlement of elves, and the latter is a public environment, which is not very suitable for building the mage tower, so I had to settle for the next best thing, and chose the undeveloped land that human beings have not been involved too much in.
Second, the Makusè Forest is also relatively secluded, and few people disturb it, except for a few lumberyards on the periphery of the forest, there is only one wilderness path opened up by adventurers and hunters leading to the direction of Boulder City, because the road is remote and difficult, so except for the hunters who occasionally want to hunt some prey to solve the slander, even adventurers rarely come here now, after all, the general Warcraft live in the Green Cloak Forest, and this kind of peripheral forest close to human territory is not a good settlement.
The mage who builds the mage tower must be proficient in engineering, arcane geometry, good at magic arrays, and have a lot of knowledge involving elements, space and planes, and the builder of the mage tower must have at least four or more spell casting levels, that is, at least a mage above the bronze first stage. In other words, even if the mages of the Black Iron stage have all the other conditions, they will not be able to fully master the use of a mage tower.
With the ability to deduce the Book of Truth, the complex runes and formations of the Mage Tower are not a problem for Donald, the real difficulty is the materials needed to build the Mage Tower!
It took almost ten years and nearly one million gold soles to build the first High Mage Tower of Celt, because of the lack of rare magical materials such as Mithril and other scarce reserves.
The completion of the High Mage Tower in the royal capital had caused the Mage Guild to owe a large amount of money, and they had signed an agreement that each mage from the Mage Guild would serve the royal family for three years without pay, and the cost would last for two thousand years.
It is said that it took a full decade of tax revenue from the original Celt royal family to build this mage tower, and it took decades to recover, which also greatly hindered the progress of the powerful Celt family to continue to conquer the barren lands of the Northlands, otherwise the kingdom's territory would be at least one-fifth larger than it is now.
However, the benefits of the successful construction of the mage tower are also great, at least with the mage tower standing in the royal capital, the city is basically difficult to break, and since then, the kingdom's mage power has grown rapidly and many excellent mages have been trained.
The successors after Celt I did not have the strategy and courage of the founding majesty, because of various reasons, they guarded the inherent land, and did not make much progress for two hundred years, until the great lord of Zhongxing, the seventh king Celt VII, appeared, and the whole kingdom rose again, and in just ten years, it conquered the northern county, which was originally occupied by the aliens, equivalent to a quarter of the territory of the original kingdom.
The Merliner family also caught up with the trend of the times, and it was at that time that they rose to become official aristocrats.
In addition, the structure and floor plan of the Mage Tower are also a major point in how effective the Mage Tower will be after it is completed.
Although Donald is not a professional architect, he can also make some good suggestions for some layouts.
When designing a mage tower, you are building a strange magical realm that does not rely solely on mages to prepare spells. Essentially, it can be seen as turning the Mage Tower into a magical object, artificially creating a magical area of effect through mysterious magical structures, magical runes, and arcane energy. As long as it is built, according to the ability of the mage tower, the environment within a certain area can be included in the protection scope of the mage tower.
Donald chose the ordinary Arcane Tower in the drawings, the cost is at least thirty percent higher than the city type, but you get what you pay for, and the function is also more powerful than the city type, after completion, it is estimated that half of the land of Dalaran, including the town of Makusè, is within the realm of the mage tower.
Most of the structures of ordinary arcane towers have seven or nine floors, and due to the limited number of basic materials such as white stone, Donald chose a seven-story structure, and he didn't need some superfluous outbuildings anyway.
Judging from the physical design drawings, each floor is twenty feet high, that is, about six meters from the floor to the heavenly board, and the first floor of the ordinary mage tower is ten feet high, and every time it is raised by five feet, the overall cost will increase by twenty-five percent, but Donald doesn't care about this huā fee. In the previous life, I lived in a lot of narrow pigeon cages, so why should I be a little more luxurious in this life.
In addition, the air lock device is a very necessary basic facility. The so-called air lock is the outer wall of the mage tower, which uses a magic force field to block polluted debris, toxic substances, liquids, etc. from the mage tower, and only allows air, creatures, and items to pass through. It may seem amazing, but it's actually just a small application of an arcane circle, not much different from a mage enchantment.
Other simple structures and devices, such as corridors, door panels, secret doors, traps, and walkways, were left to the craftsman and several bronze mages, and Donald and several silver mages were responsible for the construction of special towers and special rooms.
The most important components of the Mage Tower are the Special Rooms: the Elemental Pool, the Arcane Garden, the Bondage Room, the Practice Room, the Library, and the Discovery Room.
The above are just the most basic mage tower settings, and there are other more special existences, such as stargazing platforms, magic portals, etc.
Donald built a magic portal in the tower, and reserved space for the future, and when the conditions were met, he could teleport across the plane.
The portal must be constructed with gold, mythril, adamantite gold, and various other expensive materials. Portals can be one-way or two-way. One-way portals are relatively easy to make, they only need to build such a magical entrance inside the tower. Two-way portals, on the other hand, must have the same entrance on both sides.
Donald intended to build portals between the Blue Demon Gold Mines in the Ogre Valley and the Emerald Dream Nose Island in Falling Star Bay to facilitate the connection between the two territories, so of course the two-way portal was built. Similar portals can also be embodied in the Book of Truth, but the structure is different from the portals in the blueprints, so it is still up to a few mages to build them themselves, so as not to arouse suspicion.
With the manpower and material support of a territory, the construction of the Mage Tower progressed rapidly, and soon the main project was completed, and the rest was the improvement of the internal structure.
However, the construction of the Mage Tower had just begun, and Elijah, the great elder of the Druid tribe who had been concentrating on cultivation under the Tree of Life, came to Donald.
"How come Elder Ilya has time to come to me today, aren't you concentrating on preparing to advance to the Golden Grand Druid?
Ilya smiled slightly bitterly, and said with some solemnity: "There is a troublesome matter that has come to the door, and I have no intention of cultivating, our tribe has now merged with Elder Donald's territory, so I still have to listen to your opinion on this matter!"
"Oh, what is it that makes you so embarrassed, Elder Elijah?"
Elijah immediately told Donald about the fact that the two elven clansmen had quietly come to contact him.
After listening to this, Donald knew that things were more troublesome, so he listened to Ilya and said again: " The most important thing is that as soon as the two sun elves entered the range of the moonlight glade, they felt the existence of the tree of life, since the disappearance of the world tree, the descendant of the tree of life is the most important part of the elves, and it is the holy object that we rely on to survive and reproduce Now in the main world, in addition to us, there is only one tree of life on both sides of the sun island and the forest elves, among which the forest elf is still the offspring of the mother tree of the sun island, so our tree of life is particularly precious in the eyes of other elves!"
"And once the news leaks, the powerful forces of other races in the Overworld may also covet it, even if there are legendary powerhouses, they may not be able to keep this tree of life, so the Sun Elves and Forest Elves will definitely hope to be able to move this tree of life to their territory for protection, so as to breed more powerful elves! But our druid tribe lives very well here, Elder Donald, you don't want them to move away from the Tree of Life, right?"
After listening to Elijah's analysis, Donald frowned, and said: "Sun Island is one south and one north from here, spanning several continents, even if the golden powerhouse comes and goes, it will take at least two months, this matter is probably not urgent, I can only build the mage tower first, try to accumulate strength, and prove that we have the ability to protect the tree of life, I hope that those elves can look at the blood of the same clan and not be too unreasonable, otherwise my hole cards are not vegetarian, and I will definitely make a mess for them!"
"Since Elder Donald has decided, then I will also go and promote to the Golden Rank as soon as possible, and try my best to protect the Tree of Life!" Hearing Ilya say this, Donald smiled: "Elder Ilya, don't be so pessimistic, it's a big deal that we give up this Tree of Life, to tell you the truth, I still have a seed of the Tree of Life in my hand, even if I lose this one, I can cultivate one again." What's more, we don't have any grudges with Sun Island at all, so presumably those elves won't do too much!"
Ilya smiled and left with a smile in his heart, but Donald restrained his smile, carefully calculated his hole cards in his heart, and finally made a decision to devote himself to the construction of the mage tower.
Chapter 234 When the Mage Tower was officially completed a month after the meeting on Sun Island, Donald took the original Arcane Tower blueprints to the core control room on the second basement floor of the Mage Tower and sent the drawings to the console inlaid with magic crystals.
Just listening to the buzzing tremor of the entire Mage Tower, a light blue sè magic streamer spread across the entire Mage Tower, and then the energy circuit of the Mage Tower communicated instantly, with the five major element pools as the source, forming a stable cycle inside.
At this time, a storage crystal above the console emitted a flickering blue light. Speaking of this large piece of storage crystal, it is still Donald's harvest in the Black Dragon Tomb Xué.
A stiff voice rang in Donald's ears.
"Master, Greetings to you! The five elemental pools have been activated, and the five major planes are open to extract elemental energy, and 89% of the completeness of the tower's building structure is scanned, and the rest is built for perfection..."
This is the biggest difference between the Arcane Tower and the Mage Tower of later generations, the low-level Mage Tower can basically only be operated manually, while the Grand Arcanists have designed the Tower Spirit, a semi-intelligent intelligent system without autonomous consciousness.
The strongest enchantment change produced by the existence of the tower spirit is to give this building a certain amount of intelligence, and the tower spirit itself as the center can store a large amount of knowledge, and has the ability to listen, detect, and identify spells. As an intelligent system of the Mage Tower, it can automatically open, close, lock and close all the doors, windows and gates in the Mage Tower, and it can also see and hear what is happening in the tower and relay it to his owner through sound and video.
The spirit hun of the mage tower is an incomplete spirit body, unable to exist independently from the mage tower, their formation has a lot to do with the elemental power in it, they are closer to the elemental golem, the kind of spirit hun that only has instinct.
It's just that powerful arcanists can't give the tower spirit personality traits, so some true magicians have found a way to extract the core of the natural spirit or ignorant elemental creature in the Earth Mountain 11 to act as the intelligent system tower spirit of the mage tower. It makes Taling more human, knows how to think simply, and distinguishes between right and wrong.
After the completion of the mage tower is a thirty-meter-high white sè tower building, because of the aesthetic point of view of the previous life, Donald did not choose a cylindrical tower structure, but a four-sided tower structure, which makes this mage tower look more rigid and imposing.
The seven-story tower has five floors above ground and two floors underground.
The second basement level at the bottom is home to the elemental pool and core control room, which power and energy for the entire mage tower.
On the basement level, there is a bondage room for summoning otherworldly creatures and the Arcane Huā Garden, which provides food, drink, and magical plant materials for the mage tower, which is an important part of the mage's self-sufficiency in a closed environment.
On the ground floor is the common hall and lounge, as well as all the mage's rooms.
The second floor is the alchemy laboratory and the material cake warehouse, the third floor is the arcane laboratory and training ground, the fourth floor is the large library, and the top floor houses the magic portal and the discovery room, the latter of which can take over all the situations that occur within a radius of fifty kilometers.
The seven-story mage tower doesn't seem to have much space available, but in fact, the interior uses an arcane circle of folded space, making each floor at least the size of a football field, enough for hundreds of mages to live and study in it.
The important areas inside the Mage Tower are equipped with arcane locks and alarm stones, as well as powerful spell defenses and dangerous traps, which cannot be passed by anyone without relevant permissions.
The entire forest is now assigned to the mages by Donald, because Donald, as a lord, cannot live in the mage tower all year round, so after obtaining the Taling to recognize the lord, Donald gave his teacher the second control of the mage tower, and his teacher is in charge of the mage tower.
With the overall increase and research conditions of the Mage Tower, I believe that the teacher who is already at the peak of silver will soon succeed him and become the second golden ** master of Dalaran!
It is said that after receiving the news that Dalaran had reached a deal with the Ansel family and started to build the Mage Tower, most of the high-level members of the Mage Association felt very regretful, originally thinking that they were the only ones in the kingdom, and they planned to sell at a price, but they forced the buyer away, and they reached a deal with others within a few days, and these mages were also very dissatisfied with the chief ** masters who made the decision.
You must know that what Donald planned to pay before was a long-lost ancient creation, and its research value was much higher than the actual value, if you get your hands on it, maybe it can greatly improve the strength of the Mage Guild and get more benefits.
Now that the things are in the hands of the Ansel family, and they have offended the mage Nova and his teacher (the outside world does not know that Donald has surpassed his teacher and been promoted to the Golden ** Master), it will be difficult to obtain such valuable and precious items in the future.
Therefore, many mages from the Mage Guild have released messages through the mages of the Boulder City Club, expressing goodwill to Dalaran in order to ease the relationship between the two masters and apprentices.
Donald, who heard some news of the Mage Association, didn't care much about this, as long as he became strong, whether the Mage Guild's attitude was friendly or hostile would not matter much to him!
While the mage tower of Dalaran was under construction, far away on a large island in the southern part of the continent, a meeting of Dalaran was beginning in the center of a beautiful city of trees and huā grass.
In a quaint palace built on the branches of a giant tree, more than a dozen handsome male elves, and a beautiful female elf sat on the throne made of vines in a circle, these are the dozen or so people with the highest power in the elven kingdom, the members of the elven council, the elders of the elves and the queen of the forest elves.
In the past thousand years, because the number of elven races has been greatly reduced, the direct descendants of the high elves have collectively migrated to a large island hundreds of miles away from the southern tip of the continent to live and breed, which is the current elven nose.
Elven Island is the name of humans, and the Elves are called the Island of the Sun internally.
Unlike the Moon Elves, who believe in the Moon God, the Sun Elves, who are also direct descendants of the High Elves, worship the sun and nature, call themselves the Children of the Sun, and they are fair-skinned, usually blond, and taller than the Moon Elves, about 1.5 to 2 feet taller than ordinary humans. The Sun Elves were once called the most perfect creatures in the Overworld by several True Gods, not only because of their appearance, but also because of their powerful bloodline talents that rivaled those of dragons.
It's just that the fertility of the sun elves is even lower than that of the dragon, and at present, the entire sun elf race, including the half-blood elves with the blood of the sun elves, is only a few thousand, if it weren't for their strength and long lifespan, I am afraid they would have been extinct in history long ago.
Adult day elves with pure bloodlines can basically obtain the strength of gold, and they have a lifespan of about 1,200 years, and those day elf elders even have the terrifying strength of the legendary realm. A clan of a few thousand people has more than a dozen legendary powerhouses in charge, which is enough to compete with the high-end forces united by the five major kingdoms of the mainland. This is the biggest reason why the Sun Elves have survived to this day.
As for the moon elves who are in the same vein as the sun elves, thousands of years ago they changed the old-fashioned lifestyle of the sun elves, gave up purely relying on the power of the blood as the source, and chose to believe in the elven gods such as the elf moonlight and the goddess of the night to gain power, and at the cost of giving up the purity of their own bloodline, they obtained an increase in fertility and transformed into a forest elf close to nature, and also bred ordinary elf races such as sea elves and gray elves.
This practice greatly increased the number of elven populations, and during the great migration of the elves a thousand years ago, the forest elven queen established the second elven kingdom after the High Elven Empire, unifying most of the forest areas west of the Sauron merchant alliance in the southern part of the continent. And also formed an elven council with the sun elves on the island of the sun to jointly maintain the survival of the elves and protect the safety and interests of all elven races.
Now, in the Sun Sanctuary of Elven Island, all the rulers of the Elven Council have gathered to discuss the emergence of another elven tribe outside the Elven Grand Alliance. !。
