Chapter 214: Building the Wizard's Tower, Memories in the Blood of the Gods

[A task has been created, and the rapid purification of divine blood plan has been started, and it is estimated that 253 units of elemental origin will be required]

"It's okay, it's only eighteen or nineteen days."

Thinking that the progress of elementalization could skyrocket again after more than ten days, Pei Ze was in a very happy mood.

"Fog Feather has evolved, and the enhancement of the Silver Star has also come to an end, now we are waiting for the purification of the divine blood, and there is also the preparation for the construction of the Wizard Tower."

Pei Ze pondered slightly.

In fact, the cultivation of ink shadow is also one thing.

However, Ink Shadow is still young, and is still in the stage where feeding can continuously improve its strength.

When the bottleneck is reached, it is not too late to consider a breakthrough.

After settling down, Pei Ze took out the memory crystal ball given by Mo Weng and began to read the information of the wizard tower inside.

As one of the greatest alchemical creations in the history of wizarding civilization, the Wizard's Tower is famous throughout the multiverse.

Even scarier than an elemental wizard is an elemental wizard with a wizard tower!

The power of the Wizard Tower is strong enough for a Level 4 wizard to leapfrog over a Level 5 wizard.

Of course, due to the high cost of wizarding towers, many level 4 wizards don't have their own wizarding towers.

Broadly speaking, wizard towers can be divided into two types.

Those who can fly, and those who can't.

Flightless wizard towers mainly refer to wizard towers built on leyline nodes.

There are primordial energy veins underneath any world, and these energy veins are called leyline nodes.

They are essentially the intersection of nature's energies and can be used by wizards as a source of energy for wizard towers.

However, using the leyline node as the energy source means that the wizard tower is bound to the leyline node, and the position is fixed and cannot be separated, let alone flying.

In addition, since the leyline nodes are often located deep in mountains and rivers, these wizarding towers are often far away from Wizard City, and many things are inconvenient to do.

So unless you're too shy and have to build a wizard tower for some reason, few wizards choose to build a wizard tower on a leyline node.

The vast majority of wizards choose to build 'flying' wizard towers.

In the division of wizarding civilizations, wizard towers are divided into small, medium, and large according to their size, from low to high.

The larger the wizard tower, the more expensive it will be.

The most basic small wizard tower will cost no less than a million magic crystals.

The medium-sized wizard tower costs as much as three or four million magic crystals.

As for the large wizard tower, the price went straight to tens of millions of magic crystals.

"Is there a hierarchy of wizard towers?"

Pei Ze showed a thoughtful look.

He also knew about it.

Even if a Level 4 wizard has the strength to build a wizard tower, it is usually a small wizard tower.

Only level 5 wizards have the financial resources to build medium-sized wizard towers, and even many level 5 wizards only have small wizard towers.

Only a sixth-level wizard and sixth-order pharmacist like Teacher Mo Weng, or the head of a wizard family like Yin Yongqin, can have a large wizard tower.

As for the rule wizards further up, what they have is no longer the Wizard Tower, but the more advanced Floating City.

"Do you want to build a small wizard tower, or a medium wizard tower?"

Pei Ze fell into deep thought.

The large wizarding tower is definitely no play, he still knows about it.

Even if he were sold, he wouldn't be able to scrape together the money to build a large wizard tower.

"With the small wizard tower, I now have more than 200,000 magic crystals in my hands, plus the money from the sale of the fragments of the stone tablet, it is more than enough to build."

"But if you want to build a medium-sized wizard tower, there is at least a gap of two million magic crystals."

Pei Ze's eyes flashed, and he quickly gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Just build a medium-sized wizard tower!"

"It's a big deal to improve a few more fifth-order potion recipes for sale, and it won't be too abrupt if there are things before."

Despite building small wizard towers, it can be upgraded to medium wizard towers in the future.

But for such a huge project, the expansion will definitely produce a lot of additional losses, and it is better to spend a lot of money in vain, and it is better to put it in place at one time.

If it weren't for the lack of money, Pei Ze would have wanted to build a large wizard tower directly.

After making his decision, Pei Ze continued to read.

The Wizard's Tower can be divided into three parts, namely energy supply, space planning, and combat equipment.

The first is the energy supply, which can be divided into three parts: the elemental pool, the floating ring, and the central crystal energy transmission system.

Among them, the elemental pool can be said to be the most basic and core facility of a wizard tower, and it is the energy supply device of the entire wizard tower.

A complete elemental pool should connect multiple elemental planes at the same time, and extract elemental energy from them to graft a complete cycle to provide a steady stream of energy for the wizard tower.

To use a metaphor, an elemental pool is like a hydroelectric power station, producing energy as long as the elemental channels are still there.

A small elemental pool can sustain the basic requirements of a small wizard tower, including the Golem's power requirements, as well as the usual uses of lighting, experimentation, transformation, and so on.

Excess energy can be stored for wartime.

The larger the elemental pool, the more energy it can store, and the more intense the battle it can handle.

If Pei Ze plans to build a medium-sized wizard tower, then the elemental pool will also be upgraded to the corresponding medium-sized elemental pool.

Of course, he can also build large elemental pools, or even more advanced elemental furnaces.

However, if you do so, the cost will also soar.

For example, the most critical material for building an elemental pool, the Elemental Source Crystal, costs 100,000 magic crystals for one piece.

Only one Elemental Source Crystal is required to build a small Elemental Pool.

Medium-sized ones are three.

Five for large ones.

If you choose to build a large elemental pool, the cost will be 200,000 magic crystals more, and even Pei Ze will feel very painful.

"Let's build a medium-sized elemental pool first, use it for the time being, and then upgrade it later."

The second part of the energy supply, the Floating Ring, as the name suggests, is a device that lifts the entire Wizard Tower into the air.

This device requires a lot of Mithril and is therefore worth a lot of money.

The last central crystal energy transmission system, although the cost is lower than the first two, is an indispensable part of the wizard's tower.

The main thing is to graft the entire wizard tower with crystal marks, so that the energy of the elemental pool can be transmitted to all parts of the wizard tower.

In addition to the energy supply, there is space planning.

As you can see from the name, the main content is the layout of the interior space of the Wizard Tower.

A complete wizard's tower with internal spaces including, but not limited to, an experimental area, a planting area, a meditation area, a practice area, a warehouse, and more

It's not just a matter of drawing a spot.

The experimental area should be equipped with protective magic to avoid accidental explosions destroying the Wizard's Tower.

The planting area should be arranged with an elemental active circle, and the wood element should be gathered to strengthen the growth of rare plants.

The meditation area should guide the flow of the elements and improve the efficiency of meditation, which is mainly for future apprentices.

Even the simplest practice areas need to be reinforced.

However, the most important thing is to use dimensional space technology to expand space.

A small wizard tower that looks like it is only more than twenty floors on the outside and less than a hundred meters high is often larger than a wizarding academy inside.

The final combat device, which is also the top priority of the Wizard's Tower.

The combat installation is mainly divided into two parts: protection and attack.

The former is mainly a protective energy force field of the Misty Lock.

Generally speaking, a basic small Mystery Lock's protective energy force field could easily withstand the twenty-four hours of spell bombardment by thousands of third-level wizards.

As long as the instantaneous attack strength does not exceed the protective limit of the energy force field, and the element pool has sufficient energy, it is basically difficult to break the energy force field.

In this regard, Pei Ze thought about it again and again, gritted his teeth and decided to raise the standard and build a large Mystery Lock Protective Energy Force Field.

"The attack can be weaker, but the standard of life preservation must be the highest."

The large Mystery Lock Protective Energy Force Field is generally the standard configuration of large wizard towers, costing as much as 750,000 magic crystals.

In terms of attack, it is subdivided into ultra-long-range strike devices and dispatch corps.

The former is generally a spell turret - a turret that fires light attacks.

The latter usually refers to various golems or golems.

Of course, there are also intelligent beings.

For example, Pei Ze has attracted or is about to woo various magical creatures for the sake of the Wizard Tower, including the ancient tree deer spirit, thorn spirit, shadow dragon, and so on.

As long as it is a creature that has been stationed in the wizard tower for a long time, it can break away from the wizard tower to fight in wartime, it belongs to this category.

However, the vast majority of the Wizard Tower's legions are mainly composed of various golems, and they are mid-to-high-level golems.

Low-level golems such as flesh golems, clay golems, stone golems, and iron golems are not visible to elemental wizards at all, and at most a few of these golems are built into wizard towers to clean or carry heavy objects.

Most of the Wizard Tower's built-in Golem Legions are mainly Shadowsteel Golems starting (Level 2 Liquefaction), including a small amount of King Kong Golems (Level 3 Vaporization).

Some elemental wizards with a lot of money will also arrange a small number of Mithril Golems and Supreme Golems.

The former can be seen from the name, the main production material is precious Mithril, and it is measured in tons, and the combat power is also very strong, mastering a large number of spells below the seven rings, which is enough to shock the third-level crystallization wizard head-on.

The latter is the original form of the Magical Construct.

The so-called Magical Constructs, also known as Legendary Constructs, include but are not limited to Arcane Wards, Magical Mechas, and Tower Spirit Constructs.

Without exception, these Legendary Constructed Beings possess superior combat power comparable to elemental wizards, and are powerful enough to go head-to-head with demigods.

It's just that because it's extremely expensive, very few wizard towers can afford it, and it's usually used as a battle sequence for the floating city.

Although the Supreme Golem is not as good as the Magical Energy Construct Body, it is also much stronger than the Mithril Golem.

In layman's terms, it is like the difference between Wen Huachun, Fei Xian, and Ye Sinan who met in the Battle of the Holy Ring and ordinary third-level crystallization wizards.

A Supreme Golem going head-to-head and taking out four or five Mithril Golems would not be a problem at all.

Of course, the cost is also several times that of the latter.

"Golem"

Pei Ze's eyes flashed.

If he is allowed to choose, he will definitely pay more attention to quality, and the essence is not much more expensive.

What's the matter with the built-in Golem Legion, you also need the King Kong Golem to start.

It would be better if the Mithril Golem could be the main force, supplemented by a small number of Supreme Golems.

It's just that the ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny.

A Mithril Golem costs 7,000 Magic Crystals.

And the smallest Golem Legion also needs at least a hundred Golems, and all of them are 700,000 Magic Crystals if they are all Mithril Golems!

It's almost as expensive as a small wizard tower!

It couldn't have been so extravagant.

Not to mention the Supreme Golem, which costs as much as 30,000 magic crystals.

On the contrary, it is the King Kong Golem, a statue only needs 3,000 magic crystals, and a hundred statues are only 300,000 magic crystals, which can be called 'good quality and low price'.

"It's still a matter of money."

Pei Ze sighed and continued to look down.

In addition to the three major parts of energy supply, space planning, and combat equipment, the tower spirit is also an important part of the wizard's tower.

They are the most top-of-the-line artificial intelligence, responsible for the integrated operation of the wizard tower, integrating terminal computing, data recording, combat command, experimental assistants, and so on.

Generally speaking, a wizard tower should have at least one tower spirit.

But if you have a good budget, the more Talings you have, the better.

After all, the computing power of a single tower spirit is limited, and sometimes assigning two or three tasks will occupy all the computing power of the tower spirit.

The greater the number of towers, the smoother and more abundant the operation of the wizard tower.

For example, there are three tower spirits in Moon's wizard tower, which are responsible for the combat command system of the wizard tower, daily operations, and acting as Moon's experimental assistants

A more advanced tower spirit construct than a tower spirit, and can even assist wizards in battle.

To craft a tower spirit, you need to use soul crystals.

Soul crystals are a higher level of soul energy aggregates than soul crystals, second only to soul source crystals.

Like the purified soul crystals that Pei Ze exchanged for merit points at the beginning, they are the lowest soul crystals, and they can only be used to make golems at most.

In order to craft a tower spirit, the core must use the highest level of soul crystals.

And this kind of soul crystal, one will cost 300,000 magic crystals.

"I have the help of the omniscient eye, I don't need an experimental assistant, as long as there are two towers in charge of combat command and daily operations."

Pei Ze flipped his wrist, and there was already an incomparably beautiful spar in his palm, which was the reward he received after winning in the Tower of the Holy Ring, a high-level soul crystal that could be used as the core of the tower spirit.

With this soul crystal, he only needs to buy another one like other wizards who build wizard towers, without paying extra expense.

In the end, Pei Ze found that the cost of the entire wizard tower was as high as 3.8 million magic crystals - mainly because the cost of building a large Mystery Lock protective energy force field was a bit large.

And that's without counting the cost of the built-in Golem Legion.

If you add this, the cost will definitely exceed four million magic crystals.

"It's too expensive."

Pei Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Can you find a way to reduce overhead?"

"For example, there are some things that I can make myself without having to protend to others."

There are so many technical fields involved in building a wizard's tower that it is impossible for a single wizard to master them all.

As a result, many of the Wizard's Tower's devices, such as the Floating Ring, Spell Turret, Locklock Shield, Energy Field, and Golem, need to be sourced from outside.

But Pei Ze is different.

He has an all-knowing eye, and he can easily master the manufacturing technology of these devices by consuming some elemental origins, and as long as the materials are complete, he can completely make them out by himself.

And with the help of the omniscient eye, the final product is very likely to be better than the wizards outside.

The cost of manufacturing these devices is not small, and if you can save it and only pay for the materials, it will undoubtedly reduce the cost significantly.

The more Pei Ze thought about it, the more feasible he felt, so he simply eliminated the production cost and recalculated it, and finally came up with a cost of 2.75 million magic crystals, which was more than a million less than the original!

Of course, it doesn't include the Golem Legion.

"Money still has to be used where it works."

Pei Ze was full of joy.

While he can make a lot of money by selling improved flask recipes, improved flask recipes are not meant to be sold.

In a short period of time, seven or eight copies of the improved drug formula were sold one after another, which would undoubtedly cause quite a stir and easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Pei Ze estimated that selling another three or four copies of the formula was the limit.

The remaining gap can only be filled by trying to refine some potions and sell them.

"And these technologies can be improved to enhance their functionality as much as possible without significantly increasing the cost."

Pei Ze thought of doing it, and immediately recorded all the information in the memory crystal ball into the omniscient eye, and then began to improve.

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

Pei Ze's eyes moved, his figure flashed, and he came outside in an instant.

The Nymph was standing in the doorway.

"What's wrong?"

Nymph hurriedly bowed down and replied respectfully, "Master, Lord Yin Xue has come to visit you. ”

As he spoke, the water fairy butler carefully observed Pei Ze's face.

If someone else came to the door, she wouldn't come to the meditation room to disturb the master.

But Lord Yin Xue is different.

According to her observations, Lord Yin Xue seems to be a little ambiguous with the master, and may become the housewife of the mansion in the future, which is naturally different from other guests.

"Got it, let's go down."

Pei Ze nodded, and then came to the living room, where Yin Xue was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Senior sister, why are you here, do you have something to do with me?"

"I can't look for you if it's okay?" Yin Xue made a joke, then got up and handed a box to Pei Ze, "It's a little late, but this is a congratulatory gift for you." ”

Without waiting for Pei Ze to speak, she added, "I'm here to give a gift on behalf of the family, don't refuse." ”

Pei Ze smiled, didn't twist politely, and accepted it.

Seeing this, the corners of Yin Xue's lips raised slightly, and said: "In addition, if you need an engineering team, our family happens to have one, and the craftsmanship is guaranteed to be exquisite, do you need my help to contact you?" ”

Pei Ze bowed his head and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

He can do all kinds of devices of the wizard tower by himself, but the main structure still has to be outsourced to the engineering team, after all, he can't conjure a giant tower up to 100 meters high out of thin air.

Yin Xue really seemed to be just here to give gifts, so she left after chatting a few words.

After Yin Xue left, Pei Ze opened the box, and his eyes suddenly lit up at a glance.

"Elemental Source Crystal!"

Inside the box were three elemental source crystals.

"The Yin family is really generous."

Pei Ze sighed secretly.

That's 300,000 magic crystals!

I'm afraid that an ordinary fourth-level wizard won't be able to earn so much income in ten years.

Pei Ze was thoughtful, but soon shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

"With these three elemental source crystals, let's just build a large elemental pool in one step."

Pei Ze quickly made up his mind.

The large elemental pool needed five elemental source crystals, and he only needed to buy two more, which was 100,000 magic crystals less than the original cost of building a medium-sized elemental pool.

"Omniscience, improve the construction of large elemental pools and make them as functional as possible without significantly increasing the budget."

[A task has been created to improve the construction plan of the large elemental pool, and it is estimated that 24 units of elemental origin will be required]

Pei Ze nodded secretly.

It's okay, it's only a matter of two days.

He then went on to create improvements to the Floating Ring, Spell Turret, and Lock's Protective Energy Field along with the crafting techniques.

However, for the time being, it is still focused on calculating the plan to purify the divine blood.

Anyway, the main body of the wizard tower has not yet been built, and the corresponding crafting technology can be slowly improved.

Yin Xue is very efficient.

The next day, the director of the engineering team came to consult with Pei Ze.

The construction of the Wizard Tower requires a large area, and naturally it cannot be carried out in the Wizard City, where every inch of land is at a premium.

The site was chosen for the construction in a basin to the east of Dawn City.

The engineering team arrived at the basin on the same day, leveled the land, set up a defensive circle, and then began to lay the foundation and build the main body of the wizard's tower.

An ideal wizard tower usually uses obsidian as the main building material.

Obsidian not only has good magic conduction, but also cooperates with the operation of the Mystery Lock's protective force field.

Pei Ze plans to build a wizard tower about 150 meters high, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, with a total of 25 floors.

The entire construction process takes about a month.

Pei Ze was fully entrusted to the head of the engineering team, and he only needed to wait for the construction to be completed before coming over for acceptance.

As for the cost, he still had more than 200,000 magic crystals left over from the original auction of the improved formula of the Thunder Elemental Affinity Elixir, which was enough to pay for the cost of building the main body of the wizard tower.

December 10, 14528 in the astral calendar.

The plan to quickly purify the divine blood is finally complete.

After digesting the information that poured into his mind, Pei Ze opened his eyes, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

The solution given by the All-Seeing Eye is a new rune circle.

The principle is similar to the original method of using spirit to fight against the consumption of divine blood consciousness, except that it no longer needs to be done by the wizard himself, but uses pure soul energy to continuously wash away the divine blood consciousness, and also achieves the effect of dissipation.

Therefore, the core material of this magic circle is the soul crystal.

Fortunately, only medium soul crystals are needed, and there is no need to use high soul crystals.

"A medium soul crystal also costs 30,000 magic crystals, I don't know how many it takes to completely purify the divine blood consciousness?"

Pei Ze's eyes flashed, and he immediately got up and left the mansion and went to the Travelers' Association.

It's useless to think too much, just experiment and find out.

In any case, the blood of the gods must be purified.

Not only because of the huge thunder and lightning energy contained in the divine blood, but also because of the divine memories attached to the divine blood.

The lives of gods are often measured in 10,000 years.

Many gods have existed longer than the Astral Alliance.

Over the years, they have acquired a vast amount of knowledge, somewhat more knowledgeable than wizards.

This knowledge is a treasure of great temptation for any wizard.

Although the knowledge contained in a drop of divine blood is definitely incomplete, and even if it is absorbed, it may not be rewarded, but that is only for ordinary wizards.

For Pei Ze, who has an omniscient eye, no matter how incomplete the knowledge is, he can also use the omniscient eye to calculate and complete.

This drop of divine blood might surprise him!

It's the last day of October, and I would like to ask for a monthly pass, thank you!!
