The Rise of the Cemetery

The most obvious change is that there are traces of gorgeous energy ribbons slowly flowing around the arcane tower, lingering around it along some mysterious trajectory, which can be seen as a special energy protection. It's just that this kind of energy protection has never been seen on the human mage tower, and it should be a unique technology developed during the Arcane Empire.

At least because of the existence of this seemingly thin energy layer, Li Xun's panorama can no longer transmit and scan everything inside like last time. This is a good technology, and it seems that the energy demand is not so terrible. If a single-player version can be developed, the scope of experience of Cemetery Heroes can be extended to the entire Klein Continent in the future.

Li Xun led Siris, while turning his mind, he stepped into the arcane tower.

Compared with the mage tower, the arcane tower has reached the pinnacle in the application of spells at the technical level. In terms of external characteristics, the Arcane Tower is more suitable for all the future science fiction fantasies of the Central Plains world in Li Xun's mind. The silently opened door, the clean and delicate interior decoration, the soft and bright light, the moderate temperature...everything is so cool and transcendent.

Stepping into the gate of the Arcane Tower, there are spacious and long passages along the walls on both sides. The floor and walls are white, without a trace of dust. The entire passage is filled with bright but not dazzling soft light, and every place is clearly visible. But no matter where you look, you can't find any obvious light source, as if all the stone walls and floors here are naturally luminous.

Li Xun couldn't help but secretly sighed, this is the image of a palace of knowledge that he should have in his mind. Unlike some shoddy mage towers in Klein Continent, the shape inherits the style of the castle, and magic gates or magic puppets are only installed in some key areas. Draw some magic runes on the outer wall and activate some protective effects. Dare to claim that he lives in the Mage Tower.

Compared with the mage towers that Li Xun built before, they paled in comparison. Just like a middle-aged lady who puts on makeup and powder, she is afraid that her dull and loose skin will be revealed if the powder is thinner, and she always tries her best to add all the magic circles one by one, pursuing big and complete. But the arcane tower in front of them has obviously integrated magic, no, it is arcane for them, into their daily life, and it has achieved a seamless connection, so that people can't find the slightest trace of carving.

"Wow..." "Oh my god..."

Continuous exclamations sounded behind them. It was obviously the first time for the three women to see such a mysterious palace in a different place, and they yelled and screamed to fully express their surprise. Although Zena is the acting city lord of Feather Moon Fortress, without Li Xun's permission, Isa, the magic tower, would not allow her to step here, let alone visit the various facilities inside.

Crisp footsteps sounded, and a tall arcane puppet walked along the passage. Those special parts used as murder weapons were hidden, and it came slowly according to human habits, but it also had an aristocratic style.

"Issa?" Li Xun asked tentatively, because on this arcane puppet, Issa's familiar soul fluctuations could be sensed.

"Yes, master! I haven't built my active body yet, so I can only use the arcane puppet to travel temporarily, please forgive me!" The arcane puppet (Issa) imitated the appearance of a human and bowed and saluted. People are pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, you don't need to learn from human nobles. We are mages and a group of people who pursue knowledge. The etiquette can only be put in public gatherings. In this kind of private occasion, comfort, caring and casualness are the best. Correct." Li Xun smiled and set the tone for Issa to get along with in the future.

"Yes!" Issa followed the good advice and directed sideways: "Master, please come with me! I will show you around this arcane tower."

Under the guidance of Yisa, Li Xun and the others briefly visited the Arcane Tower. Of course, the first stop of the visit must be the energy heart of the Arcane Tower - the energy room.

As the most important core area of ​​the Arcane Tower, the energy room is usually tightly sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit. But today, it opened the door to a new owner, revealing all its secrets.

Walking into the energy room, the initial feeling is empty. This is a step-by-step platform, and four large space furnaces arranged at four corners are placed on the top of the platform. This kind of arcane technology that supports the prosperity of the arcane empire is a progress across the ages. With it, the arcane empire can have endless energy to squander at will, and also have a strong motivation to cross the barriers of the plane.

The space furnace, this kind of special arcane equipment that can continuously extract energy from the endless void, Li Xun has only seen in some ancient magic notes. It is not until today that he has seen the real thing, and it can still be used normally.

Li Xun blessed himself with the floating technique, and slowly floated in mid-air, looking at the structure and layout of the energy room as a whole from above and below.

Obviously, the top four space furnaces are specially used to extract energy from the void. After preliminary stabilization and compression, the extracted energy will be transformed into liquid energy, which flows down from the upper platform and gathers in the mana pool of the next platform, and then undergoes layer-by-layer precipitation and transformation, and is subdivided into various systems. Inject into different element pools respectively.

With different element pools, combined with the spell pool, every arcanist who controls the arcane tower will have unlimited mana, and infinite spells can be used. No wonder they are invincible and have conquered many alien plane spaces.

The arcane tower in front of me is obviously a miniature arcane tower. The space furnace is the smallest in terms of size and function. In the period of the arcane empire, it can only maintain the normal use of 30 arcanists and 100 arcane apprentices. At best, it can only be regarded as a household arcane tower.

At this moment, because the Arcane Tower is in the plane, the space furnace can't absorb the free energy in the energy storm through the barrier of the plane, so it is in a dormant state, and the mana pools and element pools below are also It's all empty. Looking around, Li Xun only saw a shallow layer of black liquid water in a pool of negative energy elements at the lowest end of the ladder. It seemed that this was the only result of the Arcane Tower's mad suction of Feather Moon Fortress' sea of ​​bones for more than half a month.

According to Issa, it would take 3 months to accumulate enough energy to break through the barriers of the planes and transport the entire Arcane Tower beyond the Klein Continent, which is really a long and difficult day. Only when the Arcane Tower is sent to the virtual space layer outside the Klein Continent, can the space furnace in the energy room come into play, providing the Arcane Tower with a steady stream of clean energy.

But when the time comes, the movement of breaking the barriers of the planes will definitely be a big deal, and it is very likely that legendary experts from all major races in the mainland will come to check it out, so it is necessary to plan carefully before implementing it.

After leaving the energy room, the next thing to visit is the control center - the arcane core, which is where Issa's magical soul resides. Generally speaking, the facilities inside are extremely rare, but there are no consoles and densely packed buttons as Li Xun imagined, but a white light group of astonishing size floating above an altar in the center of the hall.

The white light group emitted a milky white soft luster, and the inside was surrounded by layers of mist, making it impossible to see the true state of the core. However, the altar under the white light group is full of soul crystals that Li Xun is very familiar with, and every moment, wisps of purple soul energy are slowly poured into the white light group above.

"These soul crystals are still beneficial to you?" Li Xun asked softly.

"Yes! Master, I have to admire your greatness for being able to create such a miraculous energy crystal! Even at the peak moment of the Arcane Empire, the progress in the realm of spiritual power and soul is still slow, and it is impossible to realize the power of crystallization. The collection and reuse of these two mysterious things, not to mention the ability to purify soul energy to such an extent!"

"It's really hard to collect spiritual power, but the power of the soul should be very easy. Aren't the current undead spells known for playing with the soul?" Li Xun asked suspiciously.

"Undead? Is this your newly developed magic department? During the period of our Arcane Empire, some crazy arcanists appeared only in the middle and late stages of the imminent destruction, but there were no magicians who specialized in manipulating souls. Master's necromancer." Isa asked hesitantly: "Master, are you also a necromancer?"

"Yes." Li Xun admitted generously: "Strictly speaking, I am an orthodox necromancer!"

"Uh... It seems that I need to add something about the development and changes of the Klein Continent over the past few thousand years."

As the conversation deepened, Li Xun discovered that Issa, who was once the auxiliary manager of the Plane Manufacturing Institute, had limited understanding of the secrets of the Arcane Empire, and was not as omniscient as he imagined. After all, it only awakened its self-awareness in thousands of years of solitude, and at that time, it was just a small magical soul of the plane manufacturing factory, except for managing and dispatching the resources and progress of the plane manufacturing factory, it hardly communicated with the outside world. Access to Information.

Uh... so be it! Anyway, Li Xun didn't intend to master an Issa, which is equivalent to the ridiculous idea of ​​mastering all the legacy properties of the Arcane Empire.

Some of the remaining facilities are good, like the puppet factory, which can produce many different types of alchemy puppets, such as steel golems, gargoyles, fire monsters, snake women, puppet dragons, Titans (imitation)...

Among them, apart from the steel golem and gargoyle that Li Xun had seen, the current mage guild can imitate them. Other fire monsters, snake girls, etc. have lost the relevant technology, and even the mage guild cannot develop them. The puppet dragon is a special means of transportation collected by the Arcane Empire from goblin merchants, and the Titan (imitation) represents the pinnacle of the Arcane Empire's puppet technology.
