Start with Island Lord

There were a total of seventeen recruited mages, all of whom were scholar-mages, each with their own areas of expertise.

When Rosen found them, they were standing by the wall of the first staircase in the hall, looking at the busy flow of people at a loss.

Everyone was very busy, and no one cared about them for a while.

Seeing Rosen coming, the mages breathed a sigh of relief and came to salute him one by one, with a much more respectful demeanor than before.

Every mage had clearly realized that the young man in front of him was a lord with real power, and he was on the other's territory.

It is a wise move for smart people to maintain basic respect for the owner of a piece of land.

Rosen waved to the group of people: "Come, I'll take you to the residence. It's not too good, but I asked someone to repair it urgently, so it should be comfortable."

Every castle has a place to entertain guests, and Crescent Castle certainly has one.

Located in the backyard of the castle, it is a courtyard separated by a white stone wall, in which a group of relatively high-quality two-story wooden buildings are built.

But it can be seen that the small building is quite old and the yard has been uninhabited for a long time.

So many carpenters are trying their best to repair the damage, and many servants are cleaning the yard.

In the open space in the yard, there are many wooden boxes and packages, which are filled with various magic items.

Rosen and the magicians stood in front of a wooden house that had been repaired, with apologies on their faces.

"The conditions are still relatively simple for the time being, so please be patient. After a period of time, when the situation on the island stabilizes, I will let you live in the new house as soon as possible."

The weapon refiner Alonso and the potion master Wei Ge are both people who have suffered a lot. They are not picky about material conditions, but they are very concerned about the quality of magic materials.

Alonso walked to the material box: "Lord, these boxes are written with my name. Can I open them and take a look?"

"Of course."

Alonso carefully opened it and found that it was a small melting gold pot used for high-temperature alchemy. He took it out and took a closer look, and was immediately surprised.

"Spherical multi-temperature crucible, this is a rare and high-quality product, where did it come from?"

Not to mention the Shire County, this thing is not available in the entire Weilan Island, and it must be specially imported from the Wit Continent.

Wei Ge, who was standing by, was immediately attracted, walked over to take a closer look, and immediately came to a conclusion.

"It is a high-quality product produced in the Crystal Valley of Levender. Look at this multiple triangle mark, which means that it was made by the apprentice Henry the Seventh, the master of refining, and certified by the master himself."

The Kao mages were originally evaluating the pros and cons of the wooden house. After hearing this, Gatland immediately went to open his supply box.

After opening it, he was also surprised: "High-speed flow meter, it is still a first-class product from the Jade Factory. This thing is a good thing!"

At this moment, the Kao mages didn't care about the simple accommodation conditions, and went to check the supply boxes.

As more and more boxes were opened, it was found that most of the things inside were good things from Levender.

Wei Ge couldn't help asking: "Lord, these things are very valuable, where did you get them from?"

She roughly calculated that even if they were purchased in Levender, the total value was close to 40,000 Oger, not to mention a small northern town in Weilan.

She couldn't figure out where Rosen got this batch of good stuff from.

Rosen naturally wouldn't tell about his secret deal with Muradi, just smiled faintly, but didn't explain.

Alonso looked around: "Lord, the quality of these equipment far exceeded my expectations. But where is the laboratory where these treasures are placed?"

Master Luwakado and other Kao mages also had the same doubts.

Although this batch of equipment is excellent, it has strict requirements for the preservation and use environment.

They couldn't see any suitable placement nearby.

Rosen was naturally prepared.

He pointed to the small wooden house next to it: "Look over there, there is the entrance to a small wine cellar."

"This wine cellar has been emptied by me, everyone, why don't you follow me down to take a look?"

For scholar-type mages, the magic laboratory is their second life.

Every magician takes this very seriously.

The magicians also know that when conditions are poor, building an underground magic laboratory is indeed a good stopgap measure.

So, the group followed Rosen and entered the wine cellar.

As soon as they entered, Wei Ge shook her head: "No, this place is too small. It's too small for one person, let alone so many people?"

This wine cellar is specially used for storing wine for distinguished guests. The underground height is three meters and the area is about fifty square meters. It is indeed quite small.

Rosen smiled slightly, raised his hand and tapped the ground, releasing a transformation spell.

The ground immediately changed rapidly, showing a three-dimensional underground structure diagram.

"Please look, this is the soil layer around the underground wine cellar."

"You can see that the large area nearby is all compacted homogeneous yellow clay."

"As long as the soil layer is properly deformed, the area of ​​this basement can be safely expanded to more than five times the current area."

"If you believe me, I can use extraordinary deformation to quickly create a safe and stable double-layer basement, with each layer covering nearly half an acre of land."

As he spoke, the three-dimensional structure diagram of the ground also changed rapidly under the effect of deformation, and finally turned into a large double-layer basement.

It looks beautiful, spacious and stable.

But building underground buildings is not a trivial matter. If the professional knowledge is not up to standard, it will leak at the least and collapse at the worst.

Alonso has carefully studied the transformation alchemy given by Rosen and knows that there is no big problem with Rosen's statement.

But he still had doubts: "Lord, how do you solve the problem of underground water seepage?"

Rosen smiled: "If you look carefully at the structural diagram, you will find many special drainage trenches. Using these trenches, plus the assistance of some magic circles, you can completely discharge all kinds of sewage into the sewer pipes of the castle."

"Of course, for safety reasons, I also specially set up a cesspool to store experimental sewage. Look, it's right here."

Alonso looked carefully and found many fine structures. He was surprised and embarrassed.

"Hmm~~Okay, I overlooked it. Has the lord also studied architecture?"

Rosen nodded: "I have indeed studied it carefully. I have also studied the settlement and deformation problems of various soil layers, and have done a lot of practice."

Alonso was convinced of Rosen's magical achievements. Since he said so, he nodded.

"Then I'm fine."

Wei Ge immediately asked: "What about the underground ventilation problem? You know, the magic laboratory must suppress power fluctuations, so the air flow array cannot be used."

Rosen smiled slightly: "I set up a special ventilation duct and used a low-level wind-guiding array at the far end of the surface, which fully meets the requirements."

Master Ruvacado then asked, "I have a question."

"As we all know, deformation energy will be retained in the deformation object to maintain the deformation effect. As this energy gradually dissipates, the deformation effect will gradually disappear, and many hidden dangers may arise."

Rosen didn't speak, he looked at Alonso aside.

Alonso shrugged his shoulders and explained on his behalf.

"Master, standard transfiguration does have this problem, and you have to take this into consideration when transfiguring life. But our transformation object this time is non-living elements in nature."

"Look at the surrounding soil layers. They are all compacted yellow clay with a uniform texture. This is the simplest deformation object."

Seeing that the Kaa mages still didn't understand much, Alonso suddenly gained a sense of intellectual superiority.

He explained harder and harder.

"Earth and rocks are essentially the same."

"Dirt is water-infused rock that breaks down into powder, while rock is dense, dry dirt."

"Through some extraordinary deformation techniques, the water in the soil can be squeezed out and made very dense and strong. Even without the support of deformation energy, it is enough to maintain the stability of the new structure."

Master Ruvacado looked suspicious: "It sounds good, but it is not effective. You have to practice it to be sure."

"How about you demonstrate it?"

Alonso suddenly looked embarrassed: "Um, I'm not very skilled at it yet."

Rosen took over at the right time.

"I'm familiar with this matter, but to do this, I need medium-level mana. So, who can connect with me on the Soul Bridge and let me borrow mana?"

All the mages, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally Wei Ge walked out.

"My mana reached a high level the day before yesterday, so I will help the lord gather the transformation energy."

Naturally, Rosen would not refuse. After skillfully building the bridge of souls, he said, "Let's get started, Ms. Wei Ge."

Wei Ge condensed the transformation energy according to the words.

A pure white light appeared in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, the condensed light was controlled by an invisible will and floated to the side of the earth wall.

‘Wow~~~click~~~’

There was a sound similar to the stirring of wet clay. The earthen wall of the wine cellar continued to recede, and at the same time, clear water continued to seep out of the wall at an almost violent speed.

"Alonso, check the location of the underground sewage pipes in the castle and help drain the clean water out."

"Okay, lord."

Alonso also used his deformation technique to create a temporary drainage pipe to drain the water squeezed out of the clay layer.

After five minutes, the basement had expanded to more than fifty square meters, and Wei Ge couldn't hold it any longer.

"Lord, my mana is about to be exhausted. Please find someone else."

Master Luvacado felt itchy and immediately answered: "I'll do it."

The transformation continues.

As a fourth-ring 30-star magic master, the transformation energy he condenses is pure and powerful.

The basement expansion speed also suddenly accelerated.

By the time Ruvacado ran out of mana, a double-layer structure had appeared in the basement, and the single-layer area had reached an astonishing 400 square meters.

But there are still many fine structures that need to be perfected.

Kaa's three senior mages immediately replaced the master.

Kaa's middle and low-level mages assisted Alonso in draining the large amount of water that gushes out of the soil after the transformation.

When the three senior mages also exhausted their mana, a large underground magic laboratory with a double-layer structure, more than 3 meters high and more than 400 square meters, containing various fine structures was completely formed.

The walls of the laboratory are yellow-white and very smooth to the touch, similar to jade. The floor is frosted and feels like pebbles when you step on it, non-slip and comfortable.

The supporting columns and the reinforced stacks on the side walls not only ensure the structural stability of the basement, but Rosen also created many epic artistic reliefs on the surface, adding a lively and lively atmosphere to the monotonous and boring underground hall.

On the ceiling, many laboratory-specific light runes were also deformed.

The mages only need to put the light spell on, and it can be firmly 'sticked' to the runes, maintaining stable lighting while suppressing the leakage of power to the greatest extent.

Finally, the laboratory was divided into three relatively independent areas, namely Alonso's refining room, Wei Ge's potion room, and the weapon research and development area of ​​the Kao mages.

The most important thing is that every detail is very exquisite, and the naked eye can't find the slightest flaw.

It can be seen that the mages are very satisfied with this exquisite underground laboratory.

Every mage looked around and touched it, looking at it endlessly.

Now, everything is ready, only the equipment and materials are missing.

Rosen looked at Stonard, who had been following him silently.

"Shi Tou, you go and arrange people to move the equipment and materials in. Be careful and do your best to meet the requirements of all the gentlemen and ladies."

This kind of auxiliary work is only done well by Shi Tou, a mage. Alia, a rough warrior, can only stare blankly when she comes.

Shi Tou immediately turned around to do it.

At this time, Wei Ge suggested: "Lord, why don't you give this place a name?"

Alonso also said: "Yes, it needs a name, otherwise it doesn't feel formal."

The Kao mages also agreed.

Rosen thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's call it the First Magic Center of the Island."

"Because this is the first and most important magic laboratory on the White Sturgeon Island."

The name is very grand, and the mages nodded in agreement.

So, Rosen carefully printed the name of the laboratory in a solemn and majestic relief font at the underground entrance of the laboratory.
