Chapter 245 Collectibles

Tina readily accepted the other party's proposal, and offered to help the other party untie the shackles before talking about other things.

For the imprisonment set by a high-level mage, it must not be so easy to solve, but after all, it is only a contract for a relatively important slave, and it will not be too perfect.

According to Tina, this mage is not very proficient in this area of ​​magic. After about an hour or two of on-site adjustments, Tina successfully took the spar out of the opponent's chest and replaced it with a A gemstone that shone with fluctuations of silver-white magic power.

"I swear in the name of Bahamut, I didn't do anything on it, this is just a power stone to maintain your life activities, if you are not satisfied with this, you can also replace it with other energy supplies, As long as there is energy in it, you can do whatever you want, I have no restrictions."

"I still believe in Yinlong's reputation, not to mention that I don't seem to have any other choice now."

After finishing speaking, the other party waved to the two of them, gesturing for them to follow, and then walked into the hall on their own.

I have to admit that the number of collections of a high-level spellcaster is astonishing. Just talking about the gold and silver treasures that Tina values ​​most, there is a storage room full of them. They come from various countries and are printed with the heads of various rulers. , There are too many currencies made of various materials.

The quantity alone is nothing. After all, Tang Zhao manages a moderately wealthy city, and the money Tang Zhao has seen is not small. The state of preservation of these money is more surprising than the quantity-it is as good as new, Tang Zhao can only describe it like this.

Even if it is printed with the head of an elf, the ancient currency with a history of at least a thousand years looks shining. The currency in the shape of a quarter moon is very distinctive. This is a platinum coin with a larger face value than a gold coin and uses more precious metals. This kind of elf currency in a preserved state can be sold at a high price of five times or even ten times the original denomination by some human collectors, which can be called some kind of antique.

There are too many such coins in the warehouse, and Tina's eyes are so stared that she can't walk. It is better for Tang Zhao to pull the other party forward, otherwise Tang Zhao is really worried that the other party will lose control and change directly. Returning to the form of a giant dragon, he threw himself into the pile of gold coins and rolled.

The architect didn't say anything, but continued to lead the way with a shrug, and walked towards a higher place in the tower.

Money is an indispensable thing in the society of most intelligent races, but for mages, they basically have no greed for money. Money is just an equivalent transaction, not a very important thing, so it is not will be placed in a particularly important position.

Most of the rooms on the upper floor are filled with the mage's collections—the antiques and treasures You Tina unceremoniously stamped with her own mark, and the magic books that filled the entire room, Tina is not very good She cared, because she didn't want to use necromancy, a magic that blasphemed the dead, and she had no special interest in magic itself, it was just used as a tool.

Tang Zhao didn't have any special taboos, he was ready to accept these things with a smile, and whether they were useful or not would be taken back first.

It stands to reason that even without guards, this tower is difficult to break through, because it is full of various traps and protective devices, all of which are to ensure the safety of the collection after the death of the mage. It also takes a while to get a headache, and crack the mechanisms one by one.

But with the help of insiders, things developed completely differently.

With the help of the original architect, they easily broke through all kinds of traps, basically without any trouble, and a group of people came to the highest point of the tower, which is usually the mage's studio and residence.

There is a semi-circular dome here, which has been transformed into an observatory. Apart from the bed and the bookshelf, the most obvious thing is the telescope, through which spellcasters can observe the scenery of the outside world and even space.

Of course, there is also astrology and astronomy here, and the power of magic has even been developed to a good level, so those crew members can sail around the entire continent, and even cross the ocean to other continents.

Without needing the architect's guidance, Tina went straight to the bookshelf, flipped through it for a while, and then found a scroll with a smile on her face.

Opening it up, it is a large-scale map of the western part of the continent from the extreme northern seas to Oran, with quite detailed markings of various terrains, settlements, and water sources. I don't know.

Obviously this is something left over from ancient times, because the above descriptions of the Oran region all use the elves' name, which has a history of at least a thousand years, and the elves probably don't use this ancient name now. instead of using the names given by humans.

Tina explained to Tang Zhao complacently: "Actually, those gold and silver treasures are just to satisfy my personal demands. This map is more important to the people of Oran. After having it, we can cooperate with the vulture With the regular reconnaissance of various familiars, the warriors of Oran can move freely in the wasteland."

No one with a brain would approve of a rash military operation without preparation. After all, foreign operations require a suitable number of elite troops. If these manpower is lost, it will be an unbearable loss. Pre-war preparations are very important.

Nautical charts can only partially solve the problems of supply lines and transportation. To truly march and fight, what is needed is an understanding of the land under your feet.

Tang Zhao didn't know whether the initiator of this matter was Tina or Julia. In short, this map is useful to everyone.

Standing on the top floor of the tower, Tang Zhao looked down. With his vision level, he could easily find a large number of dormant undead creatures. Counting those sleeping and storing in the dark and underground, they could be regarded as an army .

【I am quite curious about how the original owner of this mage tower got such a large number of undead creatures. If he made them one by one, he must be some kind of long-lived species.】

The other party shrugged: "Half-elf, it's true that he lived longer, and he didn't make them one by one, because he has the right to tax the whole town and embezzles the funds of the Master Academy. He has enough money to buy what he wants. What you want, even if undead creatures are not popular."

[Is there any control program left? 】

Tang Zhao naturally had this kind of thinking, after all, this is a formed army, and it doesn't need any supplies to maintain it.

"Don't think about it," the other party refused without hesitation, "Do you think that no one has tried similar things before? This place is not that hard to find. Don't be too greedy, just accept it when you see it."

Tang Zhao turned his head and took a deep look at the other party. The subtext of this statement was that everyone who came before had failed, but he found no traces on the road, and there were no shortage of treasures in the tower. The matter might not be simple.

But since Tina didn't take the initiative to bring it up, Tang Zhao didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so it's better not to make trouble.
