Arcane Lord

Watchtower.

In the only alchemy laboratory, Xia Duo skillfully operated the alchemy circle and shaped a piece of silver ingot into the shape of a small mirror, with a smooth front and the emblem of the Tower of Time on the back.

Then, mithril components and five-color gems were embedded, encapsulated, and finally made into an open Magic Network String Linker.

This lower-level authority carrier is considered a magic item in itself and has magical aura, but it has no other function except that it can interact with the watch tower at a specific location inside the watch tower and be used to determine authority.

Sha Duo handed the finished small mirror to Niya and warned: "This is the highest authority in the watch tower in the past, except for the control scepter. You can go to any location in the watch tower and have all the operating authority. You can take it with you." Don't put it in the dimensional bag, otherwise you may be attacked by the watch tower."

Niya took the small mirror and played with it repeatedly. At the same time, she asked Xia Duo curiously: "Is this okay?"

"That's it! Except for this small mirror, I have canceled all other lower-level permissions. As for the original operation manual, you can just take a quick look at it. I will compile a new one after a while."

In fact, Xia Duo's plan is much more than that, and the reset operation instructions are only superficial. If you want to truly control this inherited mage tower, you need to sort out the internal structure of the mage tower, especially the magic circle.

In the past, the princess had been in Severton for a long time, and she didn't necessarily know much about the actual situation here. A mage tower was given away at any time. Would those who could have relied on the watch tower to intercept the council's subsidies be dissatisfied because of this?

No matter how enthusiastic and submissive Steven appears, maybe he is the one who laid the hidden dangers!

Now that he has accepted this mage tower, Xia Duo is ready to check it carefully. Furthermore, which spell caster doesn't want to have his own mage tower!

Although this mage tower is inferior, it is also a genuine mage tower.

Sha Duo wants to design and build a mage tower that truly suits him, and he can start making preparations from now on.

Generally speaking, high-level mage already have the basic ability to control the mage tower, but under normal circumstances, in addition to inheritance, it is only possible to design and build a mage tower by yourself at the stage of archmage or senior arcanist.

This is not only a requirement for knowledge reserves, but also a requirement for wealth.

Mage towers like the Watchtower, which are inferior in Shado's eyes, are actually the most common mage towers in Netheril.

Like the Tower of Time, those with a large amount of foldable space inside, using demiplanes as arcane gardens, multiple sets of backup magic circles, tower spirits, and plane exploration arrays are truly rare.

Not to mention anything else, the plane exploration array alone has not been popularized even by the great arcanists, and ordinary spellcasters don't even have to think about it.

But even the most common mage tower like the Watch Tower is very expensive to build. Xia Duo has learned about it before, starting with one million gold coins.

If you want to be better, there is basically no cap.

Xia Duo is determined to build a mage tower that surpasses the Tower of Time, or a strategic fortress suitable for spell casters. If it is not possible, then he would rather not build it.

The floating city is a good choice, but [Miser Energy Core] has not yet come out. Without powerful energy, let alone a city, even a tower, it is difficult to make it float for a long time. A very difficult thing.

The Magic Network does have unlimited energy and does not restrict anyone's use. However, if you want sustained and stable high-power output, the threshold is much higher than Xia Duo imagined.

If you only use spells to capture energy, the spell itself is always facing the tendency of the magic network string to return to its original state, and it cannot last long.

And if energy is captured in the form of some kind of magic item or device, under the condition of high power output, a large amount of elements and energy will pass through the mithril components in a short period of time, and the elemental transmutation will occur at an unimaginable speed.

This method is even less durable than pure magic to capture energy.

As a time traveler, how could Shado place all his hopes on someone, or in other words, Iolum, to invent the [Myser Energy Core]? He himself had also made theoretical assumptions.

The principle of the so-called [Myser Energy Core] is not difficult to imagine. It is actually very simple. It is nothing more than going deep into the elemental plane to obtain energy, but he still has no idea how to achieve it.

Pure spells are not long-lasting, and material carriers are prone to elemental transmutation. If these two problems are not solved, there will be no super energy source at all.

Therefore, Xia Duo has always been very curious about what form this [Miser Energy Core] will appear in. Unfortunately, he cannot ask Iolum himself yet.

…

After making a lower-level authority carrier for Niya, Shado suddenly thought of a problem and said to Niya: "Steven has left, and there will inevitably be changes. You should return to Severington now to complete the ownership transfer of Watch Island. "

Since the princess asked Niya to hand over quickly, it means that there are either variables, or the princess's incarnation is about to disappear. In the end, they are all variables.

"What about you? Will you stay here or go back with me?"

Niya didn't have much resistance to returning to Severton. After all, the two of them had agreed to take over Watch Island before returning, but they didn't expect the Mage Tower to be so complicated.

Sha Duo expressed his plan: "I plan to stay here for a while and reset the authority and instructions of the watchtower. Also, as you know, Master Rodite of Jilan Tower invited me to explore the area near Zenis. A ruin, I am going to wait for him here.”

"That's it!"

Niya was present at the time regarding the ruins of Zenis. She knew that this exploration of Shado did not require her to go there in person, so she was not too worried.

Xia Duo chose to set the meeting point at the Watch Tower, which also made her feel a little relieved. Currently, the Tower of Time is training apprentices and new mages in batches in an academy style. In today's environment, it is still a bit sensitive.

Although this kind of thing will be known to others sooner or later, if it can be delayed by one day, the Tower of Time will be able to accumulate one more day of advantage.

Niya felt that Xia Duo might also have this consideration. Originally, she was going to remind Xia Duo, but now, there is no need for that.

"Then I'll leave. Once the formalities are completed, I will return to the southern border and wait for you at the Tower of Time."

"Um."

Sha Duo responded, hugged Niya gently, then sent her to the teleportation circle, and watched her teleport away.

…

"By the way, it seems like there's something I've overlooked!"

After sending Niya away, Sha Duo returned to the main control level and was about to continue studying the watchtower, but suddenly thought that there was still the "Yuanfang" that had not been properly arranged.

So after learning about Captain Bill's location, he hurried over.
