Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

As soon as daybreak, Link threw himself into a new round of work to improve the city walls. A door was opened on the south, east, and west sides, and it was said that it was a door, but in fact, it was only a passage that could be forcibly dug out by using the power of the elements, and the rest of the decoration was left to the workers to complete.

Corresponding to these three exits is the tower where the magic barrage device is to be arranged, and Link has decided to lay his own spell "magic barrage" on it according to the plan.

Doyle was puzzled by his arrangement.

"If you want to use spells as the main means of protecting the city, why not set up a more powerful one?"

The magic barrage effect looks amazing, but it is not a threat to mages above the master level, and it can deal with ordinary mercenaries, outcasts, regular armies, and low-level undead who have no brains.

"Spells are different from divine arts, the more powerful they are, the more energy they need. Even if it's a magic missile, the high-energy crystal of the general standard size can't be released a few times at most, not to mention that Valolet's current financial resources can't reach such a luxurious level, most of the high-level spells are range-based, if there are powerful mages in the enemy army, there is no human brain to control it, and it is easy to be countered with simple mechanism settings. Once activated, it cannot be taken back, and it is highly likely that the city itself will be implicated. As long as the enemy's goal is not to slaughter the city, general spell protection is enough, it is too complicated, and if it falls one day, it will be a blockage for yourself if you want to take it back. ”

Compared to yesterday, today is relatively leisurely, and there is no need to transform into carrying materials. Link asked Servis to send some of the militia defending the city to the construction of the defensive tower, with Fern overseeing it. I've been rushing since last night and this morning. The foundations of the three towers have been set aside.

After completing the work of digging holes in the walls to make it easier for people to get around, Link returned to the inner city and hired the mercenary leader Elsie to accompany him in the sewers.

The magic circle that collects magic is located directly in a conspicuous place and is easy to destroy, so he thought of the underground waterways that are rarely frequented by ordinary people, which are dark, damp, stinking, and rarely frequented, and are the best place to set up, and can also directly connect to the three towers of the outer city. Charge the alchemy golem on weekdays. Magical devices can be supplied in wartime.

As for the magic circle for collecting magic power, it was taught to Link by Lorelei last night in the consciousness space one by one, the pattern is not complicated, but it needs to be filled in with magic power when drawing, this matter must be experienced by him, and no one else can do it for him.

Illuminated by Doyle and Elsie holding torches, Link is plotted with pure magic. ran around the sewers of the entire inner city, and when he was done, he looked at the magic circle shining in the darkness and was very distressed, so conspicuous, whether it was a thief or a person with a heart, it would appear as soon as he entered the sewer, and he couldn't achieve the purpose of hiding it at all.

Gotta find a way......

Cover it up with other spells. For example, occlusion or ...... Causality?

[Link!] In her consciousness, Lorelei shouted loudly, she rarely ...... No, this is the first time he's been called by his first name, and in the past it has only been replaced by 'you'.

[I know. I'm not going to bet on myself anymore. This city is important, but not as important as my columns. Link lightly placed his hand on the circle that had no substance. He made a prophecy in a language that he did not understand, "As long as this city exists, the circle will never fail." ”

The law of cause and effect is, to put it bluntly, prophecy, and prophecy is the realm of gods, because mortals cannot understand fate and future. In addition to the clergy, only mages have the ability to use the law of cause and effect.

But the law of cause and effect is not something that everyone can use lightly, the way of fate is like a spider's web, inextricably linked, interconnected, even if you see one of them, you may not be able to see through it completely, there are too many uncontrollable factors, not only the intervention of the gods, but even the invisible laws above the gods. Once broken, its backlash can result in injuries at least, death at worst, and even damage to relatives and friends. Except for the rookies who don't care about it, only high-level mages who are proficient in prophecy and priests who have won the favor of the gods dare to use this power of convenience and danger.

Link accounted for both. Without systematic formal teaching, he did not fully understand the power of the Children of Nature, and the situation changed far beyond his ability after being summoned to Edgar, and the law of cause and effect was the lowest threshold and most convenient of the abilities he could use. It was only after he gradually understood the power of the child of nature that he realized that this seemingly simple, easy-to-say, wish-making power was far more complicated and troublesome than he imagined.

Relying on the child of nature, the restriction of ordinary people using the law of cause and effect is omitted, and the power of the pillar makes the law of cause and effect cast by Link stronger than that of ordinary people, even if it is frosty, it cannot be forcibly broken by methods other than reverse cause and effect. After Lorelai's stern warning, Link, who realizes that he has made a mistake before, will not recklessly gamble with his own life even if he casts the law of cause and effect again, and such an obvious mistake will be realized once it is discovered...... The consequences are simply unimaginable.

[You'd better find a way to get those few things back.] Knowing that Link was using his own survival as the 'cause', Lorelei not only scolded him for being stupid, but also repeatedly told him to recover it quickly.

[I've asked Cobwebs to inquire about the whereabouts of the four magic weapons that were sold.] Link was glad that he didn't have time to make a zuò after leaving Valolet, otherwise he wouldn't know how many magic items he would have to make that would endanger his own life.

"Is it done?" Seeing that Link couldn't stand for a long time, Elsie couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's done. Link retracted his thoughts and left the foul-smelling sewers in Doyle's complicated eyes, and as soon as he came out, the city lord's private soldiers came to pass the word, and Servis had something important to see Link, and the dwarves who had left before had returned.

It's just the right time, so I don't have to go to the underground passage to recover the 'earthquake ground'.
