The Truth of Magic

Mage Tower?

　　 Zhao Xu almost didn't react when he heard it.

　　 Looking at a group of thirty or forty players in front of them, they are basically fully armed, and can be regarded as an excellent team among players.

　　 It can be said that this time the "Watchmen" union is basically all the elites.

　　 But even so, facing the mage tower, these players basically only have to give away.

　　 The minimum requirement for designing a mage tower is the "Arcane Geometry" expertise that can only be mastered by at least a 9th-level mage, but most mages who want to build their own mage tower will entrust the design of this project to professionals.

　　 In Zhao Xu’s backpack, there is also a "Mage Tower Construction Guide" that he borrowed from the legendary library, which lists the cost and even the required conditions of the wizard tower.

　　The main reason is that making the mage tower itself is a long-term task. In addition to considering the transportation of materials at the construction site, a large number of workers with corresponding technical skills have to be hired.

　　 At the same time, the various function rooms and special rooms of the Mage Tower are also expensive to build.

　　 If you choose to build in a city where the fabrics are the easiest to obtain, even if it is a plot of rice, you will have to spend thousands of gold coins on the purchase of land. Afterwards, the additional costs of various taxes and monitoring costs were hundreds of gold coins, which was the least spent in the entire construction process.

　　 is like a workshop. Even the construction cost in the field costs 8,000 gold coins. The sealing room and blasting room have to be built according to the budget of 1,500 gold coins per square meter. A small room of 10 square meters costs 15,000 gold coins.

　　 If it is more luxurious, the upper folding space is 500 gold coins per square meter. The folding spaces that Zhao Xu saw before are often hundreds or thousands of square meters. Just for arranging tens of square meters of folding space, that is completely taking off your pants and farting.

　　 And then on the flight package to allow the Mage Tower to fly in the air, that would be an additional expenditure of 250,000 gold coins.

　　 So basically, only casters of more than ten levels would consider building a mage tower.

　　 Only their net worth can afford.

　　 Therefore, it was a little strange for Zhao Xu to see a group of players with the highest level of one or two levels going to explore this mage tower.

As if he knew Zhao Xu’s confusion, the chairman of the "Shuang Jian" smiled and explained: "That mage tower fell from the sky to the bottom in a certain war. It's just that the mage's relatives were afraid of causing trouble in the environment at the time. Upper body, I didn't dare to explore rashly, so I just painted a simple map and passed it down."

"Who would have thought that when the descendant of that mage wanted to get out of the mage tower a hundred years later, he accidentally leaked the news, and was killed in the middle, and eventually the map would fall into our hands. "

　　 When Zhao Xu heard it, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

　　 But what he cares about is not the twists and turns of the story, but that this is actually the "Mage Tower" built in the air.

　　 The construction cost of this mage tower is four times that of the mage tower built in the wild. It is conceivable to what extent the master of the mage tower is a local tyrant.

　　 It's just that I didn't expect that the other party's children and grandchildren suffered for a hundred years.

　　 Looking at the meaning of Frost Sword, I’m afraid it’s just trying to search for the hidden treasures in the tower.

　　 It is estimated that then the entire mage tower will be transferred to himself for processing, after all, now the player can't move it.

　　 At this time, Zhao Xu also understood why the opponent asked for a level 5 mage.

　　 He just happened to be able to perform the "water breathing" of the three rings, and he could cast spells to let everyone dive into the water and enter the tower to explore.

　　Moreover, the existence of the Mage Tower is reported by a member of the Mage Association, who can gain greater benefits than their players.

　　At the same time, the other party does not invite more advanced mages, because they are afraid that the other party will directly kick them away and swallow all the wealth in the tower of the mages.

　　 And the 5th-level wizard is just at the point where their forty players can still contend.

　　 At the same time, the news of the Mage Tower is enough to make the mage of this level tempted, even if it is just the building of the Mage Tower itself.

　　 In the case that the current player mage is up to 3 levels, appointing a 5th level mage itself also avoids the risk of the player's disclosure.

　　 It's just that the opponent didn't expect that the mage who was armed with no less than ten pieces of magic equipment in front of them was also a player.

　　 Just when everyone thought that the 5th-level mage "Star Reflection" was still in the Northern Alliance, he had already returned to Mystra.

　　 I am afraid that the other party has also been thinking hard before putting forward such a delicate level request.

　　 Zhao Xu also smiled. In the past two months, after the players were pitted by Arthur's natives, even pigs knew how to learn.

　　 Arthur’s adventurer, in fact, has a relationship with players and competitors.

　　 "What about the specific task harvest distribution?" Zhao Xu also straightforward.

　　 A few players sitting beside the "Frost Sword" saw this wizard with extraordinary equipment asking for rewards, and several of them were even more happy, knowing that the other party had accepted it.

　　 This task, every more one person knows, represents an extra risk.

　　 They didn't dare to find a higher-level mage, and they were afraid that the other lion would say something.

"Afterwards, the whereabouts of the mage tower itself and the ownership of the tower belong to you, the master of "Guangfeng". The harvest in the "magic tower" belongs to us, but you can choose one of them first." At this time, the woman next to Frost Sword stood up and said, her expression was cold, and she looked at Zhao Xu on alert.

　　 She is exactly "Jie Xue", Shuang Jian's younger sister.

　　 Hearing this reward, Zhao Xu also nodded, completely acceptable.

　　 After all, the other party has already prepaid a large amount of remuneration from the "Association".

　　 As long as he accepts the task, he can get the reward regardless of success or failure. This is also the reason why major organizations are so entangled when they seek help from the Mage Association.

　　 "I accept, but I have to talk about a few questions first." Zhao Xu said.

At this time, he looked at the thirty or forty men sitting behind Shuangjian in another corner of the post, and frowned slightly, "My three-ring mage's water breathing can last for 2 hours per level, for a total of 10 hours. Its duration will be divided equally among all those who come into contact."

　　 Zhao Xu’s words are very clear, that is, he only spends 10 hours a spell with 40 people, and it only takes 15 minutes for each person. If there is not much water in it, he has to come out.

　　 Arthur does not have an oxygen tank to provide diving, so if a creature wants to dive deep underwater, it must either rely on the three-ring spell "water breathing" that can breathe freely in the water, or it must transform into an underwater creature.

　　 Another thing is to prepare an "Ion Stone" that does not require breathing.

　　 And Zhao Xu has a "ritual" and an iron stone. The caster level is 7 and can last for 14 hours. He would not tell the other party so easily.

Unexpectedly, Frost Sword smiled at this moment and said: "You don’t need to worry about Master Gale. In order to explore the Mage Tower, the descendants of the previous mage have prepared two scrolls of “breathing in water” over the years. The market bought two, so the total of four reels is 40 hours."

　　 "At the same time, some of the teammates behind me are also on the shore to guard and **** us to carry out the materials. The real ones are the level 2 teammates beside me." Shuangjian said.

　　 Zhao Xu nodded. Even if the 40 hours are allocated to 10 people, each person will have 4 hours, which is enough for basic exploration.

　　 And the water breathing spell itself is the core spell, so its scrolls are barely available on the market, especially in the magic capital of Mystra.

　　If you want to put it in other cities, I'm afraid Frost Sword will not necessarily be able to buy a third-level spell scroll for 375 gold in two or three days.

　　 "So you will have to ask the Storm Mage to cast these spell scrolls." Frost Sword asked.

　　 Hearing the other's plea, Zhao Xu also accepted.

　　He is now a three-ring mage, so all arcane scrolls of the third ring and below can be cast as if he casts spells himself.

　　 If the wanderer class wants to rely on the "use magic device" skill to simulate the use of spell scrolls.

　　 In addition to simulating 13 intelligence points to satisfy the prerequisite for casting, they also have to simulate a level 5 wizard. The simulation difficulty is a full 25 levels. Basically, few wanderers can do it now.

　　 Once it fails, it will be 375 gold coins. Serious consequences may occur, such as recoil damage, random targets take effect, and even some strange effects, such as bubbles directly in the mouth.

　　 So it is safest to be used by Zhao Xu.

　　 However, Zhao Xu still sabotaged the scenery and asked, "Are you ready to die once?"

　　 Originally thought that Zhao Xu was just going to raise the price again. Several managers of the "Watchmen" union did not expect this to be such a problem.

　　 "Don't talk about a resurrection stone, even if the two hundred resurrection stones of all of us on the scene add up, it is worth it." Shuang Jian said with a serious face at this time, and his eyes looked at Zhao Xu as if gleaming.

　　 Zhao Xu nodded, and he was determined.

　　 I was afraid of death and gave up. At that time, he did not fish, nor did he not fish.

　　 Even if he is a 5th-level mage, but to test out the trap of the mage tower against outsiders, you have to use the "resurrection stone" to try, otherwise it would be so easy.

　　 And the other party deliberately brought thirty or forty people, I am afraid it is also prepared for this.

　　 "Then go now?" Zhao Xu asked.

　　 "As long as it is convenient for you, Mr. Gale, we can do it now." Shuangjian said heartily.

　　 "Let's go, then." Zhao Xu didn't have any entanglements, and it was easy to change after a long time.

　　 The descendant of the mage will be robbed and killed, which means that outsiders already know about it.

　　 At this time, Shuangjian came over eagerly, "Master Kuangfeng, the road ahead is long, so we rented a carriage from the inn. Although it is a bit crude for sourcing, we can only wrong you, Mr. Master."

　　 At this time, Zhao Xu also noticed that outside the door, a postman was pulling a cart over.

　　 He smiled lightly and said, "No need~www.readwn.com~ leave it to the ladies in your team."

　　 "No, Mr. Gale, this journey is not short, you'd better save your energy." At this time, the mage Chen Nuo standing in the corner said, he is also a rare level 2 mage among current players in Floating City.

　　 "Well, no, the mage is on the way with magic tricks." Zhao Xu gently declined.

　　 As he spoke, he chanted the spell directly, spending a full 6 seconds, using the "Bizarre Seer" expertise to cast the three-ring spell "Phantom Horse".

　　 A half-truth, a "creature" in the shape of a horse appeared in front of everyone.

　　 Its four hooves are intangible smoke, and the black horse head is very energetic, the gray mane is also very soft, and it also has accessories such as saddles, horse bits, and reins.

　　 "The Phantom of the Three Rings!" Chen Nuo, the mage who just saved Zhao Xu's energy, exclaimed.

People in the union who originally thought it was just an ordinary level 1 "summon mount" spell, at first they were curious to look at the mount summoned by Zhao Xu. At this time, they heard Chen Nuo who has the final interpretation power of the union spell, and couldn't help being surprised. stand up.

　　 Such a luxury?

　　 5th-level mage is not just one or two three-ring spell slots?

　　 It's just that Chen Nuo doesn't care about it anymore.

　　 Because he recalled the details of this spell, his lips trembled and said, "Impossible, the casting time of this spell is 10 minutes?"

　　 "Agreement 1: Just ask about the ability of the hired mage." Zhao Xu answered with a smile and turned directly on his horse.
