"Why is the academy suddenly in such a hurry to get to the clock tower, you say?" said Chester after a turn.

Jia Yi said, "Isn't it to build the clock tower and send people to sweep away the dangerous demonic beasts in the lake?"

"However, it is completely possible to suspend the clock tower and solve the problem of the monsters in the lake first, and then come back to start work again, right?" Chester still felt incomprehensible, no matter how you look at it, the fox's monsters seem to be more dangerous, and you can't hope that there are no more powerful monsters like sea dragons in the lake, or that they will not attack the ships before the clock tower is built.

Jia Yi couldn't answer and he couldn't figure out what logic the teachers of the academy were, although everything is speeding up now, but in fact, all the arrangements have not been disrupted, and they are still proceeding step by step. There is always a feeling that the demonic beasts in the lake just seem to be valued, perhaps it represents a strong self-confidence, or in fact, the impact on the teachers and students of the academy is not great, so the degree of attention is not enough, and Jiayi can't be sure.

After breakfast, the next thing is not a history lesson, but a Warcraft identification course, giving you some common Warcraft, coping methods, valuable parts, places that need to be paid attention to not causing damage during the collection process, or breeding skills.

There are no strict teachers in this course, most of them are those who have time to come over for a while, most of the time they are senior students to take this course, they have traveled for a lot of time, and they have experience in dealing with many Warcraft, which is much more intuitive and accurate than the information obtained according to the Warcraft Atlas - for example, when you see a snake Warcraft, you subconsciously feel poisonous, and when you see a red Warcraft, you think that the other party must be good at fire spells.

Today's lesson is for Passerbai to give you, introducing the fire tarantula he encountered in the cave, not all powerful monsters are large, the fire tarantula is bigger than ordinary spiders, but the largest is only the size of a fist. The most powerful fire tarantula is venom, and there are also swarms, a fire tarantula swarm generally has hundreds, the venom in their mouths can corrode most metal armor and magic shields, more than three fire tarantulas only need a few seconds to break the armor of a formal mage, and then be divided and eaten by hundreds of fire tarantulas surging up.

The best way to deal with the fire tarantula is to use a stance shield, the fire tarantula venom is powerful, but limited by its size, its strength is not strong, and the stance shield can repel both the fire tarantula and their venom.

Perhaps the academy also thought that during the admission tradition, the students were limited by the level of food and did not have much energy to study, so the courses during this period were of some popular science nature, and the professionalism was not too strong, such as the new spell structure, runes and rune circles, etc., did not start, but for each student, one-on-one corrected the mistakes and irregularities in their meditation, but since they have become official mages, even if there is anything wrong with the meditation method, it is not easy to correct.

Of course, if the students themselves have any questions to ask the teacher, the teacher will not hesitate to answer.

In this way, time passed slowly, and the clock tower on the square was finally about to be built.

......

Seven days later.

Early in the morning, Jiayi and they got up from the dormitory, gathered in front of the square, today is the day of the official opening of the clock tower, Jiayi they did not have classes in the morning, came to the clock tower to do the final commissioning.

The bell tower is nearly 100 meters high, among the buildings that are only about 10 meters high, it seems to be a little outstanding, the tower body is built by the stone inscribed with runes, it is upright and straight, and the outer wall of the tower is pasted with a layer of regular obsidian stone chips, showing a deep black. Each piece of stone has been finely polished to give it a frosted texture, but with a coarser grain. If it's at night, the tower has its own stealth effect, and it's not close enough to be seen at all.

The upper part of the tower has a circle larger than the tower body, this is the location of the bell, Jiayi and their group of bells are installed in this, the top of the tower has a white bell dial on all sides, and above the bell plate are three black thick iron hands. The oscillation of the clock, controlled by the mechanical part of the tower, is transmitted to the hands on the dial through a series of complex gears. In order to prevent the strong wind blowing in the air from disturbing the accuracy of the clock, the clock dial is engraved with a forbidden wind circle, and when all the wind blows in front of the dial, it will dissipate invisibly.

There is also a rune circle of light on the clock dial, and at night, the entire clock dial can be lit up, so that people can see the time even at night. But think about the tower body is invisible in the night, the clock is lit, as if it is floating in the air, it is also quite emotional, if you don't know, you think it is a huge clock floating in the air.

At the top of the tower is a Gothic straight encapsulation, which looks like a straight sharpened inverted pencil with a ring under the nib.

After Jiayi and the others arrived, it didn't take long for McRae and Moore to arrive, and even the rest of the teachers from Orlando also came, and it seemed that they were quite serious about this clock tower. The teacher took Jiayi and the other students who were in charge of the pendulum clock up the stairs together, while the rest of the students could only wait below.

In the basement at the bottom of the clock tower, there is an elemental pool, in addition to providing magic to the clock tower, it can also be exported to several nearby laboratories, in fact, the reverse is also true, the clock tower actually can't cut much mana. There is no escalator in the bell tower, and it circulates up the stairs along the inner wall of the tower until the bell room at the top, and the tower in the middle has no function except for increasing the height, and there is not even a window, so you can't see the scenery.

The pendulum clock in the bell chamber has been installed, but it is not yet officially operational.

McRae walked out and said to his students, "Alright, now on, you can check it again, and we can get the clock moving before 10 o'clock, but at the latest at twelve o'clock, I want the clock to be up and running, and there will be no problems." Now, let's go to the debugging clock. ”

The bell McCree said at the end was not a clock for a watch, but a bell for ringing, and above the bell room at the top of the tower, there was actually an attic, which was empty on all sides, with a sundial in the middle, and a chiming bell on top, hanging from the top of the tower, consisting of five bells of different sizes, which would be automatically rung at a certain moment. Orlando went out for so long for the sake of customizing these five bells.

The five bells are divided into the morning bell, the evening bell, the hour hour, the half o'clock, and a main clock, which is twelve o'clock, each with a different timbre, struck by a specific bell hammer.

The main bell has the loudest sound, striking twelve times at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and it does not ring at night. The morning bell is the nearest hour before the sun comes out, and this clock will strike a few times, and the evening bell is the first hour after the sun sets, and it will also be struck at a few times. Therefore, the number of ringing of the morning and evening bells is not fixed, in the summer, the number of morning bells is less, and the number of evening bells is more, while in winter it is the opposite, because the time when the sun comes out and sets is different in each season. As the name suggests, the half-hour and half-hour are struck at every time when the rest of the clock is not struck, but after the evening bell rings and before the morning bell rings, the half-hour and the hourly clock do not tell the time, because it is already night, and it disturbs people's rest.

Each bell was made of an alloy of copper, gold, silver, and a few other magical metals, weighing nearly twenty tons and weighing several tons, and it was inscribed with runes, and the sound was far away, but it did not make people feel noisy, and the people under the tower did not think it was too loud, and the sound of the morning and evening bells also had a refreshing effect, probably to make people wake up quickly.

The material of the main bell is the most special, the main body uses the oybalst, a kind of magic metal that is not too ordinary, and the sound is blessed by the magic circle, after ringing, it is said that it can be transmitted to 20 miles away, more than 30 kilometers of the metric system, how to be above the lake, hear the bell, but you can't see where the town where the academy is located at all. However, Jiayi has not been to the field more than 30 kilometers away, maybe it is just a rumor.

The magic circle of the main bell has a more special effect, but Jiayi asked the teacher what the specific effect is, and they all laughed and did not speak, and they wanted to keep it mysterious.
