Chapter 139 Mage Migrant Worker
There is not much work to do to optimize the floating tower, after all, it has been optimized many times. At this time, the floating tower is close to perfection.

Next, Richard began to upgrade the rune array of the floating tower into a puzzle lock. The puzzle lock is a large-scale magic construct that can attack and defend at the same time, and its original origin is the Elf Empire.

At its peak, the Elf Empire was an interstellar empire that swept across the multiverse. The elves' magic warships roamed the starry sea with impunity, and the elves had footprints in almost all planes. This can be seen from the distribution of the elves.

In order to protect their cities, the elves created mazes. At that time, mazes were extremely large and powerful, and many mazes even had gods involved.

Later, the elves began to decline, and humans came to learn various magical knowledge from the elves, and the maze was one of them. However, the range of human mazes is very small. Usually only three to five hundred meters, it can only be used to protect wizard towers.

It was not until the floating city appeared that humans strengthened and solved the energy problem, and the maze began to expand rapidly, covering the entire city.

The original maze not only has the protective ability of the rune array, but also has other abilities. The most important of these abilities are four. At the same time, the maze has simple consciousness.

The first one is [Permanent Spell]. This kind of permanent spell can also be activated permanently. The owner of the maze can record these magics on the maze and then give permission to others so that they can use these spells within the range of the maze.

You can also set the number of times each creature can use these spells and the interval between them, usually one day.

Within the range of the maze, even if they do not have the ability to cast spells, they can still use the maze to cast spells and gain these spell bonuses.

The second is [Disable Spells], which can prohibit certain spells within a certain range. At present, the mazes of the Supreme Arcane Council have the effect of the Forbidden Magic Field. After thousands of years of development, the Forbidden Magic Field has evolved from prohibiting a few spells or some types of spells to prohibiting a few levels of spells.

比如禁止0-3环法术，禁止4-6环，禁止7-9环，还有禁止传奇法术。

With each level increase, the difficulty of making a puzzle becomes greater. The requirements for puzzle weavers become higher, and the required magical knowledge will increase significantly. For example, puzzles that prohibit legendary spells are only available to the Crown of Wisdom.

This maze was woven by dozens of great arcanists, and it was strengthened every once in a while. After a thousand years, this maze has become extremely powerful.

The third effect is [Start Spell]. This is a spell stored in the maze. It can be activated through special instructions, or by setting some trigger conditions. Once triggered, the maze will automatically start the spell to attack or defend.

The fourth type is [permanent effect]. These permanent effects include detection of evil, detection of perception, elimination of invisibility, protection from undead, protection from evil, realm of honesty, natural domain, health and longevity, etc.

Similarly, with each additional permanent effect, the weaving difficulty will increase. Of course, the functions of the puzzle lock will be more powerful now. The top puzzle locks have more than these capabilities.

The maze lock that Richard is now preparing to make for the floating tower is a basic maze lock.

Even with the four basic abilities, it is still not easy to make this puzzle lock.

Soul crystals are also needed to weave a maze. Richard prepared a legendary high-level soul crystal and a large number of energy crystals. The maze made by Richard was ready to be connected to the element furnace, and a small energy pool was built at the core of the maze. Richard did not intend to complete this maze alone. In fact, even if it is a small maze like this, if only Richard makes it, it usually takes about two years to complete.

He uses this maze for the mages to practice. After the floating city is built, the maze will be more complicated and of a higher level, so more manpower will naturally be needed.

If these temple mages were allowed to participate in weaving this right from the start, it goes without saying that a large number of mistakes would occur. Not to mention the waste of materials, the waste of time would be a real problem.

The level of the maze of the floating tower is not high, so you can learn and practice at the same time. When the maze is almost completed, these mages will be trained.

At that time, we can seamlessly connect and directly weave the maze of the floating city.

Richard gathered the knowledge about the maze locks from the Soul Library, and then compiled the knowledge about the maze locks into a book with the help of the system.

There would not be enough time for these temple mages to learn from scratch. Except for a few geniuses who can learn it in a year or two, it would take more than ten or twenty years for others to pass.

So Richard planned to adopt split learning, with each or several mages learning one part, and other mages learning another part. When it was time to use it, they would weave their own learning areas.

Finally, Richard wove all the areas together, using this method to help them finish the maze weaving as quickly as possible. This weaving method was learned from those network programming companies before Richard traveled to the world of Motera.

These network programming companies recruit or train low-level programmers in this way. No, they are not even as good as programmers, after all, programmers have high salaries, and these people's salaries are only half of regular programmers, or even less.

Then split a program into segments, assign them to groups, and then the group leaders assign them. Finally, combine these programs together. Of course, this step is very challenging for programmers. If it succeeds, it can run normally. If it fails, it will fail. Of course, it can still run even if there are bugs.

If this is the case, then don't move if you can, otherwise...
Richard weaves the maze in the same way.

After the floating city is completed, they can go and learn completely on their own if they want.

Richard was responsible for making the core of the entire puzzle, as well as the main skeleton structure of the puzzle. Others simply filled in the skeleton to make it fuller.

Eventually Richard will link all the parts together and then optimize them.

Richard gathered all the mages together and distributed books to them. He also told them that if they had other mage friends who wanted to learn, they could also bring them over.

That's right, Richard has now begun to turn his attention to the other two temples, the Hong Kong Temple and the London Temple. There are also many mages in there. Richard wants to lure these mages over and make them work for him.
