Heart of the Castle

Chapter 45

It took a full half a minute before Li Wei gradually found his breath under the teasing gaze of the old magician. He smiled a little embarrassedly, and resumed his respectful sitting posture.

"The psychological quality is good, little guy, as a 15-year-old boy, it is already very rare." The old magician smiled and said approvingly, and then a somewhat mysterious light flashed in his eyes, and his voice became More kindly, filled with a trustworthy strength.

"Little guy, as the crystallization of the highest achievement of alchemy, the heart of the castle has very complete functions. Do you need supplies? The heart of the castle can continuously produce anything you can imagine, including alchemy potions, weapons and equipment, and even Large-scale siege machines are not a problem; do you need troops? The heart of the castle can cultivate extremely loyal elite troops, from the lowest pikemen to the highest champion knights, they will fight bravely for you under your command. As City Lord, you can enjoy the highest management authority of the Castle Heart, and everything in the Castle Heart is yours!"

Li Wei was so excited that he was about to jump up from his chair.

When he saw this world for the first time, Li Wei’s mind was just to use it to build a peaceful village, plant some crops and raise a few pigs, etc. The words of the old magician ruthlessly shattered Li Wei’s dream, but A bright prospect far beyond Levi's imagination unfolded before his eyes.

is this real?Li Wei slapped his cheeks with both hands, making a crackling sound. The pain on his cheeks was very real, without a hint of illusion in a dream.

Finally struggling out of the excitement, Li Wei suddenly thought of a question, this world is indeed very real, both the air and the grass have an incomparably fresh feeling, looking far away, the continuous mountains covered with snow, the rivers Through the green forest like a silver thread.All of this is vivid, but there is only one thing that doesn't seem to exist, so Levi asked curiously: "So, Mr. Dish, what is the heart of the perfectly functioning castle you mentioned?" where?"

"Oh, the heart of the castle, right in front of your eyes."

The old magician showed a smiling expression. He stood up from the chair, opened his hands, and countless light spots flowed out from the palms of his hands, forming a colorful light curtain in front of Li Wei's eyes.

Through the colorful light curtain, Li Wei saw the scene that made his blood boil all over.

A majestic castle stands in front of the trainee attendants, it is a huge castle that has never been imagined even in a dream, the city walls are all built with huge white stones, the height is at least 20 meters, and it is wide enough for ten full-armed Armed warriors marched side by side.Behind the crenels of the city wall was faintly shining metallic light. Li Wei dared to swear that it was the reflection of the spears and swords in the hands of the soldiers. The number was simply incalculable.There are many tall towers and guard towers in the castle, and the sharp tops of the towers are like countless spears pointing directly at the sky, with the tips soaring into the sky.

Standing at the foot of the huge castle and looking up, Li Wei even felt dizzy. The oppression of this huge castle was so powerful that it made his chest feel a little tight.

"It's a great building, Mr. Disch. May I touch the walls of this castle with my own hands?"

Li Wei's request can be said to be very simple, but this reasonable request made an embarrassing expression appear on the face of the old magician.After a brief silence, the old magician coughed, and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, the castle is still an illusory image for the time being, and there is no way to suddenly become a real thing."

"What? Is this just a phantom to deceive children?" Li Wei said in surprise, and then he found that the castle was still majestic, but his chest no longer had that oppressive feeling.

A blush flashed across the old magician's face, and he immediately said in a solemn voice: "Little guy, you should know one thing, even the greatest alchemy can't create a demiplane out of thin air, it can create This world is already a crystallization of wisdom that is so great that you can't imagine. This world does have infinite possibilities, and even this castle can be created in an instant, but the creation of all things needs to abide by a theorem, We alchemists call it the theorem of equal exchange, and this castle is no exception."

The excitement on Li Wei's face has faded, and he has the memory of two lives. He can already clearly feel what the old magician hides behind the high-sounding sermon. Walk back to your seat.

"Mr. Dish, what can I do to turn the phantom castle into a real thing?"

"Well, that's a good question." The old magician stroked his white beard and made several gestures to the air. The majestic castle on the colorful light curtain immediately disappeared piece by piece, and finally only six people remained on the light curtain. Flashing dots of light.

"Little guy, you have to pay attention to what I say next. Since there are no resources in the heart of the castle, you can only choose one of the following six buildings, and the rest of the buildings need to obtain a corresponding amount of resources before they can continue to be built. And those The other buildings that you see that make up the castle will not appear until these six buildings have been completed."

"Can I only choose one?" Li Wei became cautious and carefully observed the six different light spots.The dots of light lined up in three rows in front of him, and the top three marked the wooden city wall and the moat in turn.

The middle row is the guard tower, the shooter tower.

The bottom row is the tavern and blacksmith shop.

These are obviously buildings with different functions. Li Wei opened his mouth and wanted to ask the old magician what the functions of these buildings are.However, information about the computer game in his dream immediately appeared in his mind, and the six types of buildings in it could be matched with these buildings. What surprised him even more was that the appearance of the main castle of the human camp in the game was exactly the same as This beautiful space has the same view!

"Oh my God, this is the main city of heroes and invincible human beings!" A large piece of information quickly appeared in Li Wei's mind, his eyes lit up, his fists were clenched, and blood was rushing in his veins.

"Contact what the old magician said, if I am not mistaken, I, Li Wei, will become the master of this castle, and the soldiers recruited in the castle can be brought into the real world!"

"Little guy, you only have 120 seconds now. After 2 minutes, even if you have no choice, you will be sent out." The old magician's reminder made Li Wei barely react from the turbulent mood .It is of course wonderful to fantasize about the future, but if you cannot keep your feet on the ground, then no matter how beautiful the future is, it is just an illusory bubble.

Wooden city walls, moats, these things for defense are useless now; blacksmiths can manufacture war weapons and weapon armor, taverns can recruit heroes, these are of course very necessary things, but you have to test whether your dreams can come true , the most important building is the...

Li Wei's finger suddenly pointed to the first building in the middle of the light curtain.

"I choose this building."

"Oh, guarding the tower and recruiting the spearmen's building is quite the right choice." The old magician nodded approvingly, then raised his hand and grabbed it forward.

The light spot turned into a small tower, then separated from the light curtain and flew towards the sky.Li Wei raised his head, in the clear blue sky, a spot of light was rapidly growing, and finally formed a straight beam of light, shining on the grass not far in front of Li Wei. become entities.

Ten seconds later, the beam of light faded and disappeared, and a guard tower made of blue-gray rock appeared in front of Li Wei.At the same time, the voice of the old magician sounded again.

"Look, this is the first building in the heart of the castle - the guard tower." The old magician put away the light curtain and walked towards the tower. Li Wei followed him closely until he reached the guard tower stopped under his feet.

"Is this... real?" Li Wei couldn't believe it. After all, the location where the tower was located was just a piece of green grass. In a blink of an eye, this majestic building has stood upright. It really feels a little unreal .

"Of course it's real, you can feel it." The old magician pointed to the wall of the tower and said.

Li Wei's outstretched hand touched the outer wall of the tower, and the palm felt rough, hard and cold. This feeling is very familiar to Li Wei. When Viscount Lane used it to build his castle, the most important part was to use this feeling. Solid blue-gray rock.

"Okay, let's confirm. Then little guy, let me give you another good news. The guard tower is a building that belongs to the recruitment of arms, and can summon the first type of alchemy warrior in the heart of the castle-pikeman. As the first A completed building, you can get a free recruitment of a small team of spearmen as a reward."

"Free recruitment? That's great, immediately, immediately, now!" Li Wei was so happy that he couldn't restrain it. After choosing to build the guard tower, he thought of a very troublesome situation. The resources stored in the heart of the castle It is 0, and how to get the gold coins for recruiting pikemen is a very serious problem.In Li Wei's life experience, such things as silver coins are already quite rare, and only when his father sells all his harvest for a year will he see silver coins.And gold coins... Li Wei has only seen this kind of yellow and charming thing once, that is, when Knight Ston bought this pony for him, he used a few of them.

The heavy door of the guard tower opened with a bang, and the sound of neat leather boots stepping on the ground came from inside.Li Wei opened his eyes wide, ready to take a look at his first batch of men, but just when his eyes caught a flash of metal, an old voice sounded very embarrassing.

"The expansion mode of Castle Heart has reached the limit, teleport away immediately!"

"No! Old Mister, wait a minute..." Li Wei yelled in disappointment, and at the same time his eyes went dark, and when the scene became clear again, he was already in front of the violently burning jungle.
