Chapter 644 The Central Tower (two chapters in one)

A conical mage tower with four sides appeared in the eyes of the four people without any warning. This was the first time for Shuer and Judy to see the full view of the true Tower of Seven Lights from the outside, and it was also the first time that they felt shocked.

The 150-meter-high tower has a side length of at least 1000 meters at the bottom. This makes it not look like a tower at all, and the visual scale is extremely grand. In fact, it is not just the visual scale. In fact, the internal space of this tower is larger than that of the previous tower. The largest mage tower is several times bigger, and it can't be considered a tower at all.

According to Mia's introduction, originally there was no such tower in the Tower of Seven Lumins. The Central Tower did not exist at all and was just a symbolic core institution.But 100 years ago, after deliberations by the Core Council of the Tower of Seven Lights, it was finally decided to build a special tower.

The tower will be different from all existing mage towers and will be an extremely special existence.

It is functionally different from most mage towers. Most mage towers are used by themselves or their own factions and serve as residences, laboratories and fortresses, but this tower is different. , the original purpose of building this tower was to build a city that belonged solely to mages, for the use of mages who could concentrate on academics and magic.Of course, mages do not exclude scholars without spellcasting ability from entering the tower. For them, scholars are like their working partners. Although they are not warriors, they have the same desire to explore unknown areas. This is enough.

According to this purpose, the tower is designed very specifically and is simply a paradise for research mages.On the one hand, the facilities here can meet any of their needs. There are thousands of mage dormitories for everyone to live temporarily. There is a huge library with a collection of books second only to the Pantheon. There are a wide variety of laboratories and testing grounds. There are a large number of Experimental animals and plants, and, of course, an obscene amount of research records.

Other facilities, on the other hand, are completely non-existent.

Recreational facilities?No need at all.

Those who will conduct research in this tower will of course need the best experimental equipment and the most suitable experimental environment. Otherwise, they can just work directly in their own laboratory. If that is not possible, they can go to the other six towers. There is no need at all. To come to this tower, they must be conducting very important research work. They wish they could use it as 44 hours a day. How could they still have the time to waste time on entertainment?That is the most shameful waste.

Living Facilities?No need for the same.

Mages are a group of people with the strongest endurance. Once they enter working mode, they can eat non-corruptible compressed food for several months or even a year or two. At this time, eating is just a necessary behavior for them to maintain life. As for Life?All it takes is a place to sleep and meditate, as well as a location where necessary physical needs can be addressed.

Commercial facilities?It doesn't make sense anymore.

The mages who can temporarily come to work must be internal members of the Tower of Seven Lights. All spell-casting materials and daily necessities can be directly exchanged with points. Many mages even lack business concepts. Are they allowed to buy and sell things?Do not make jokes.

As a result, a city belonging to the mages was built. Only the fanatical mages can stay here for months or even years. I am afraid that few other normal intelligent creatures can endure the boring life here. Life.Maybe this is the purpose of the mages. Well, it must be so. Even if other people know the existence of this tower, they will probably be scared away soon when they see the specific situation inside.

It is said that this tower was originally located on the territory of the Griffin Empire, one of the three great empires. As long as members of the Tower of Seven Lights reach a certain status, they are eligible to spend points in exchange for the right to use a laboratory for one year, although it costs The points are worth a sky-high price, but mages are still flocking to it. There are at least dozens of groups and hundreds of mages working in the tower at any time.

Unfortunately, this kind of welfare measure was terminated ten years ago. The most bizarre mage tower in the eyes of the world disappeared from the territory of the Griffin Empire overnight. The royal family and senior officials of the Griffin Empire are still wondering. It would be difficult for them to guess where the tower had gone. The tower had traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and appeared deep in the wilderness.

At that time, the core council unanimously passed the relocation proposal, and the mage tower, which originally had the ability to lift into the air, rose from the ground, and with the assistance of a large number of demigods, an expedition was launched to the wild land.

The distance is tens of thousands of kilometers, the journey is quite long, and it has to go deep into the wilderness. Even with the help of demigods hired by the mages who spent a lot of money, it is still a crazy move.Mages are not all demigods, especially the core group of mages in the Tower of Seven Lights. They are mainly researchers rather than combatants. There are also a large number of legendary and even gold-level mages among them. However, the mages have nothing. Fear is not only due to courage, but mainly because, no matter how the function of the central tower changes, the core function of the Mage Tower remains unchanged.

A mobile battle fortress, a walking source of destruction, the most reliable partner and the most relied upon weapon of mages.

Especially this tower, which many mages have devoted their whole lives to, is simply a perfect war weapon. The shield can block almost all external attacks, and the attack power of magic is even more indestructible. A mage tower alone can resist almost all attacks. Most of the mythical creatures will attack you during your stay, not to mention the help of those cautious demigods.

With the joint efforts of both parties, one of Parvatiga's craziest moves actually succeeded, and the strange magic tower finally arrived at the place chosen by the core council, which is the current location.

It has the richest and most active leyline energy nodes in Pavatiga, but it also has the largest number of mythical creature groups, so many that if they work together, they can easily crush all the foreign demigods into pieces.

It's a pity that most of the mythical creatures don't understand what it means to work together. They are only driven by biological instincts. What's more important is that among these mythical creatures, there are also a group of people named Dragon Clan. Yes, the Dragon Clan's lair is also here. , the mages dared to choose this place as their destination precisely because they were recognized by some giant dragons.Finally, after seven and a half months of secret voyage, the mages finally completed a feat that was enough to shock Parvatigar but was still ignored by others, and the Central Tower took root in its new home.

What protects the mage tower is not just a hidden barrier. The mages who dare to expedition into the wilderness and succeed, also have very complete means of self-protection.

The first is of course the one-way concealment barrier. This technology developed since the pioneering era is simply one of the greatest masterpieces in the magic world. Its existence is enough to save the Mage Tower from most troubles.

It is not just about hiding the sound and light effects within the barrier. It is the most basic application. If it can only do this, it is not worthy of being called a great masterpiece in the magic world. It can perfectly shield the internal energy reaction. In other words, as long as the shielding limit is not broken, let alone some magic experiments inside, even if the magic tower flies up again to attack wildly, no energy fluctuations can be felt outside. At most, it can only detect the fluctuations of the concealment barrier itself.

It is precisely because of the existence of the hidden barrier that when Thunderstorm Beast led the four people into the mage base, Shuer and Judy were shocked by the sudden appearance of the tower. Even though they knew the tower was there, they suddenly appeared in it. In front of you, you will inevitably be surprised.

At the moment of entering, Shuer even thought about whether this kind of barrier could be miniaturized and applied to dangerous adventure journeys. That would make the most dangerous rest time much safer and greatly reduce the risk of accidents. The dangers of risk taking.Unfortunately, Mia broke his fantasy. To achieve the current effect, a very complex and large-scale equipment is needed, which is difficult to apply to daily adventures. Maybe there will be similar technology in a certain world, but at least in this world Parvatija, it is not practical in a short period of time.

In addition to the hidden barrier, the second is the induced barrier.

There is not only the power of the mages, but also the will of the gods.I don’t know which god helped the mages once during the construction. He put his will into the barrier. It had almost no substantive effect. The only general purpose was to make the vast majority of creatures with weak wills stand in the barrier. When approaching a barrier, one instinctively chooses to go around it.

I used to walk on the left side all the time, but today I suddenly wanted to go on the right side. Everyone has had a similar experience. It is not surprising at all. The reasons are very complicated to analyze, but in simple terms, it is what I saw and heard before. induced.And the will of the gods miraculously strengthens this inductiveness, allowing the induced creatures to subconsciously choose to go around, and they always firmly believe that this is a decision made by their own will.

The will of the gods is so unreasonable. With this barrier, although the mage tower occupies a large area and is much higher than most buildings in Parvatiga, even within such a large coverage area, there are often No living thing has passed by for two years, which shows how amazing the effect of the induced barrier is.

Yes, it’s not that there are no large creatures passing by, it’s that there are no creatures at all, ranging from mythical giant beasts to small insects, snakes, rats, and ants. All creatures have been induced to go in other directions, far away from the scope of the Central Tower. Let this area become a corner forgotten by the world.Of course, for relatively strong-willed intelligent creatures, the effect is actually not too great. Especially if the intelligent creature knows in advance that there is a space there and makes up its mind to go there, the induced barrier will not be effective.

This is indeed a slight flaw. If used in other places, the effect will be greatly reduced, but it will not have any impact on the use of mages. Even if it happens next time, it can be ignored.

The induced barrier is on the outermost layer, the concealment barrier is on the innermost layer, and what is filled in the middle is, of course, several layers of protective measures, including protection against energy attacks, defense against physical attacks, deflection of long-range weapons, and even rigid shields, seven or eight layers of protection. The barrier seals the inner space so tightly that, let alone Warcraft and mythical creatures, even intelligent creatures can hardly enter the scope of the central tower without the permission of the mage.

With this complete defense system, the mages can basically no longer worry about their own safety. They do not need to huddle in the magic tower all day long, although they are willing to do so. Instead, they can conduct experiments like they did in the Griffin Empire. During the intermission period, they occasionally step out of the magic tower to bask in the sun, breathe in the fresh air outside the civilized world, and appreciate the flowers, plants and trees in the wild land. If they are willing, they can even observe those from the past through the one-way hidden barrier. The creatures passing by outside, whether ordinary creatures or mythical creatures, are enough to open the eyes of the mages.

Yes, when admiring flowers, plants and trees, the protective measures not only protect the magic tower, but also cover part of the wild land. The lush plants among them have naturally become part of the magic tower. Shuer even watched from outside the tower. Arriving at a garden with obvious artificial traces, there are still several mages busy in it. With the blessing of the dark moon, building a garden in a wild land, will anyone really believe it?
But why are there gardens?Mages probably don't have this kind of hobby.

"Well, of course not." Mia didn't think this was a derogatory statement at all. In fact, the mages were actually quite proud of this evaluation. "Those are just experimental fields. If you go around to the other side of the magic tower, you will also find There are a lot of animals in a stable. They are all our experimental materials. After all, this is a wilderness. If you want experimental materials, you can't transport them in from outside. That is really inconvenient and too unsafe. And what do you think you should say to the escorting mercenaries? If you ask them to transport a group of farmed animals, and the destination is a wilderness? They will be regarded as crazy."

Indeed, although mercenaries are all lunatics who trade their lives for money, they should not be so crazy as to transport livestock to the wilderness?No kidding, are you going to feed mythical creatures?What to feed yourself?

"Well, I must admit that the situation here is beyond my expectation." Xiure and Judy looked at each other, both of them unable to hide their surprise, "It's hard to believe that such an area can actually appear in the wilderness. It doesn't look like the entry of intelligent creatures at all. I think some people believe it when they say it is within the scope of a certain city. Tsk, I also feel the energy of the heart of the city. The Tower of Seven Lights really intends to imitate the pioneering era. What a feat, building a city in a wild land?”

The four of them had jumped down from the back of the Thunderstorm Beast, and truly stepped into the wilderness. They stepped on the ground, and it seemed that it was no different from the civilized world outside.Just as Xiure was adjusting his mentality, five or six mages hurried over from the magic tower in the distance.

　I have to go back to my parents' house during the past few days, so just like during the Spring Festival, there are only one update of 08 words a day, updated at 30:[-] in the morning.
