When Greem's team successfully robbed an arcane tower, they also each reaped some satisfying spoils.

Regarding their gains, the team members naturally kept it secret and would not reveal it easily.

As for Greem's harvest, there are mountains and seas of basic arcane books, as well as the travel notes, diaries, and random notes of those arcanists, or the imagination of a certain problem or a certain phenomenon.

With them, Greem especially branched out from the knowledge system of arcane arts will have enough basic underlying data. In this way, there are working materials and basic data links when deriving high-level arcane arts.

So far, what Greem is most interested in in the arcane knowledge system is still the floating rings researched by the arcanists.

It can be said bluntly that the floating ring played a decisive role in the reason why they were able to fly a soaring tower into the sky. And the so-called floating city is just a human city lifted by a super-large floating ring!

With Greem's current knowledge reserve, it is natural to imagine that those arcanists used some kind of brilliant technique to integrate and strengthen the simple anti-gravity barrier into the magic building. But although the truth can be understood, if you want to deduce it out of nothing and successfully apply it, it may not be possible to do it with the chip in your brain in less than a hundred years.

And those arcanists naturally did not rely on one or two geniuses to develop the floating ring, but hundreds of generations of arcanists have been researching, failing, researching, and failing for thousands of years before they created the floating ring. Created the first primitive and crude floating ring.

After hundreds of years of continuous improvement and strengthening, the floating ring has become an epoch-making great invention that supports arcane buildings and cities!

In terms of the level of knowledge system and the maturity of civilization, the wizarding world almost completely crushed the arcane empire.

But why didn't the wizarding world develop this kind of spellcaster building that can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, but the Arcane Empire did it? One of the most important reasons is that the development concepts of the upper management of the two sides are different!

Perhaps the development system of wizards has gone astray, or it may be that tens of thousands of years of fighting against powerful biological species have made wizards change their original intentions. Now wizards no longer regard the pursuit of the origin of magic and the exploration of the truth of the world as their first beliefs. , but struggling to survive.

Under the influence of the Ten Thousand Years War between the Calamity Lord and the Titans, secondary powers such as the wizarding world, the world of the gods, and the kingdom of dragons can only desperately strengthen their own power in order to avoid becoming victims of the war.

Therefore, in the process of continuously cultivating wizards, the wizarding world pays more attention to the individual's survivability and basic combat power. In contrast, the popularization and derivative research of witchcraft seem to lag behind.

Seriously speaking, no wizard would spend hundreds of years researching knowledge systems that have nothing to do with improving one's abilities. If they have a little resources, they will spend these resources on improving their physical fitness or mental strength training, or researching some means and techniques to enhance the lethality of witchcraft.

As for the low-level application of witchcraft and the use of them to improve the living standards of the low-level people, such things are not uncommon, but they are always just the sparks of individual wizards, and cannot accumulate into a state of prairie fire, completely changing the lives of the bottom-level people in the wizarding world. face.

Therefore, what the wizards pursue is only the height of magical power, which is far inferior to the Arcane Empire in terms of breadth and breadth!

As for the floating cities built by the Silver Alliance, the technologies and methods used are actually entirely dependent on the strange witchcraft methods of the great wizards, rather than any deep breakthroughs in technology.

Such means and abilities obviously cannot benefit ordinary wizards!

In addition to the floating ring, Greem is also more interested in the energy system of the Arcane Empire.

For any powerful force to rise, resources and energy are two essential eternal themes!

The energy system of the Arcane Empire mainly relies on the element pool.

They still firmly believe that the original power of magic comes from the four basic elements: earth, fire, water, and wind.

They use the changes in the magic tide of the endless star sea to divert the magic elements into the element pool for storage, and use them to support their own arcane research and the operation of arcane buildings. Only when the magic elements in the element pool have been modulated and domesticated can they be transferred to the mana pool and become another source of arcane energy that replaces the arcanist himself.

The reason why an arcanist is powerful is not the little bit of arcane energy he has worked so hard to accumulate, but a mana pool with almost endless energy. So they only need to focus on the research of arcane knowledge, and they don't need to meditate day after day like wizards to accumulate energy.

This also caused their weakness in individual strength and their great dependence on arcane buildings from one aspect!

The deeper the understanding of the Arcane Empire, the more Greem regretted it.

From a certain perspective, arcanists are actually 'wizards' on another path. It's just that the two sides are in different planes and have different attitudes towards the world, which drove them to embark on two completely different paths of development.

Wizards focus more on individual strength, while Arcanists value overall strength!

There are no advantages or disadvantages between the two paths, and there is no right or wrong, it all depends on the luck of the world.

The current status quo is that the Wizarding World has survived and is still growing, while the Arcane Empire is facing a catastrophe and may be wiped out by numerous enemies at any time.

A canyon woodland near Mucuo City.

Greem covered his body with the help of tall trees, and peeped at that small black spot in the distant sky through the gap in the canopy above his head.

Although the black dot is small, it is very eye-catching.

It clings to the clouds, slowly cruising, one after another of bright arcane brilliance continuously scattered down, sweeping across the land one after another. It was a compound arcane technique that combined detection and life perception. As long as it was a living body with flesh, body and soul, it could not escape the arcane scan.

Since the arcane tower appeared from the end of the sky half a day ago, it has been cruising and scanning nearby, as if looking for something.

And around the arcane tower, there are still hundreds of small arcane puppets.

In terms of appearance, they are somewhat similar to the eyeball fighters built by goblins, and they are all small floating weapon platforms. Whenever the arcane tower perceives any strange individual on the ground, these arcane puppets will swoop down and instantly flood the area where the target is located with terrifying energy rays.

Whether it's a yellow-spotted deer hiding in the dense bushes, or a fat gopher hiding underground, they can't escape the perception of the Arcane Tower, and then they are smashed into a sieve by a burst of dazzling rays.

"These guys are trying to force us out!" Manggs walked slowly to Greem's side, glanced at the Arcane Tower in the distance through the gap between the trees, and said with a smirk: "It seems that they haven't suffered from the last time. enough!"

"This time is different from last time!" Greem shook his head and said, "From the appearance, this time it is the arcane guard tower directly under the Floating Void City, far more powerful than those arcane towers in the local area. Moreover, if my guess is right, there will definitely be a 4th-ring Arcanist in charge this time."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the Holy wizard also came over.

"So what if there are 4th-level arcanists? Although they claim to be at the same level as the 4th-level wizards, we don't know their real combat power. Their bodies are very fragile!"

"Having said that, with the protection of the Arcane Tower, the combat power they can display should not be underestimated. At least, an Arcane Tower controlled by a 4-ring Arcanist, who of us is sure to contend with it head-on ?” Greem shook his head.

"In my opinion, if we all work together, it shouldn't be a problem to take down this arcane tower..." Wizard Holly licked his lips, looking a little excited and restless.

"What's the purpose of knocking it down? It will poke a hornet's nest... There must be other arcane towers around that are also searching for our tracks. Once we are entangled by them, it will be a little difficult for us to get out!" Mann Gus is obviously not willing to act recklessly, after all, his strength is the weakest among the four.

Wizard Holly didn't pay much attention to Manggus' opinion, but kept his eyes on Greem.

Seeing that Greem wasn't very interested in his proposal, Holly could only lure him to make a profit.

"There are some things in the energy room of the opponent's arcane tower that I need very much, so as long as it is an arcane tower that I encounter, I don't want to let it go. However, if I am the only one, I want to completely destroy the arcane tower. It’s obviously difficult to stay here. So, I hope to get your help! Don’t worry, except for those things in the energy room, I won’t touch anything else in the Arcane Tower, it’s all yours…”

"Why don't you discuss it with that Shani?" Greem smiled.

"That guy..." Holly's face collapsed: "She's so indifferent, she doesn't care about any kind of benefits. Hmph, I really don't know what she wants to get by taking the initiative to participate in this mission?"

"Active?" Greem was slightly startled, and asked back, "Did that Witch Shani take the initiative to ask to participate in this mission?"

"That's right! With such a secret, you will definitely not get wind of it in the Scattered Tallinn, and our Silver Alliance still has some channels in the Northland, so we can hear such news!"

Greem's heart moved slightly, he lowered his head to think for a while, and finally spoke.

"If you want me to help you, you can. After the matter is done, I won't take advantage of you, and the spoils I get will still be distributed according to the old rules..."

"Then what do you want?"

"Do me a favor! If I need your help, I hope you can help me deal with someone without endangering myself..."

"who?"

"Temporary secrecy, anyway, it will not damage this mission, nor will it put you in danger. How about it, cooperate?" Greem smiled slightly.

Now it was Wizard Holly's turn to frown and think hard.

Finally, he nodded heavily in agreement!
