Chapter 15 Who can resist a group of fair-skinned and beautiful maids?
The floating city needs a lot of tool people. Although he can use tower spirits instead, if there is a group of fair-skinned, beautiful and capable witches, who would be willing to face a bunch of constructed golems?
Of course, except for the lich.
Many arcanists, in pursuit of a long life, were willing to transform into liches. Richard had no discrimination against liches, but he preferred the warmth of the flesh. Therefore, in his floating city, there were a large number of maids of various races, including succubi, drow elves, and even undead banshees.
Unlike other undead, the body of the undead banshee is alive. Of course, this aliveness is not life force, but negative energy.
Friends who often summon the undead know that the bodies of the undead usually rot and have a corpse odor, even the Death Knight is like this, but the Undead Banshee is an exception.
Under the influence of negative energy, their bodies actually remained active. This completely opposite phenomenon aroused Richard's research interest, so he specially found an undead banshee maid to study.
The body of the undead banshee is still active. On the surface, except that it is a little cooler, it is almost the same as a normal person. Its skin is white and elastic, and it does not secrete sweat. The collision of cold and heat is unique.
It was not easy for Richard to get these witches to serve him, especially for the women of the Lighthouse Country of this era. Rebellion, playfulness and yearning for freedom were almost engraved in their bones. It was impossible for them to mature before experiencing the beatings of society.
Madison was very happy when she learned that Richard was a wizard, so a war between wizards and witches started in the villa. It must be said that Madison's performance was limited by the bar toilet before. She let Richard see the charm of the witches in the Lighthouse Country.
Madison's witch talent is telekinesis, which allows her to manipulate objects. When she is at an absolute disadvantage in a battle, she can only use telekinesis to fight back, but unfortunately she is still defeated by Richard in the end.
After the battle, Madison did not stay here for long. She needed to return to the Witch Academy. According to the rules of the Witch Academy, she was not allowed to stay overnight.
With the support of the wealthy, Richard obtained a lot of high-end equipment and materials, making his laboratory more complete. But those wealthy people would not give him money endlessly.
Even these wealthy people don't want to see Richard surpass them, and they restrict him intentionally or unintentionally. The experimental equipment will try to satisfy him, but the money, various precious materials, rare metals, ores, etc. are much less.
After all, not all wealthy people are in Brighton's situation, and Richard has also received news during this period that some wealthy people are secretly looking for other wizards.
In their opinion, since wizard Charlie can make life potions, other wizards must also have ways to prolong their lives. Not putting all your eggs in one basket is a habit ingrained in the bones of those wealthy people.
Richard didn't care about these little tricks. He was indeed not the only wizard, but not all wizards knew how to prolong life. Even if they did, the price they had to pay would not be small. These methods of prolonging life would even have various side effects.
By the time these people have seen those wizards, they will naturally understand the benefits of the life potion. After all, there is harm only when there is comparison, and it all depends on the contrast with peers.
After strengthening the laboratory, Richard began to transform the environment around the villa. He needed to cultivate magical plants and magical materials to provide materials for the laboratory, and also to heal his injuries.
In the past, the surrounding area was a low-magic environment, and many animals and plants would not undergo magical mutations. After Richard transformed the villa area into an elemental land, after a period of accumulation, the concentration of elements here is already comparable to that of a medium-magic plane.
As for reaching the high magic plane, it is far from enough to just transform the magic circle in the elemental land, and an elemental pool is required. The elemental pool is a standard feature of the wizard tower. To build an elemental pool, you need at least a high-level wizard, that is, a professional level of 12. Richard can build it at level because of his own strength and mastery of knowledge.
Only with an elemental pool can a wizard tower be considered a real wizard tower.
In the garden of the villa, Richard placed a large number of rune pillars made of gold and silver into the ground, and then used magic crystals to make energy channels. Richard's villa covers an area of one acre. In addition to the 600 square meters of building area, the rest is lawn and garden.
One acre of area is large for a residence, but it is not enough to cultivate magical plants. Richard can only use magic to expand the space.
There are several different space expansion spells in the arcane. One is the extension spell, which is mostly used to make magic suitcases and magic bags that can hold a lot of things. Another is the space folding spell, which can fold the space up. It seems to be only one square meter on the outside, but when you go in, you find that it is a football field.
There is also a more advanced one, which is to open up a dimensional space. These spells have their own advantages and disadvantages. The extension spell is the easiest to cast, but the extended space cannot be used to create an ecological garden. The space folding spell is more difficult, and is usually made into a secret space, an ecological garden, or a botanical garden by arcane masters.
This time, Richard was going to use the space folding technique. He was going to fold part of the forest behind the villa into the villa.
He needs to place a large number of rune pillars and rune stones on the energy nodes of this land. With the help of rune pillars, rune stones and elemental energy channels, he can build a space-folding rune array to fold the surrounding land.
The land that Richard was going to fold was approximately thirty acres, which was already the limit of his current ability. Casting this spell required the cooperation of an intermediate wizard, and Richard's current spellcasting ability had only recovered to level six.
In addition to the problem of casting spells, the resource consumption is also very high. Thorium is a magical metal made by fusing silver with several other metals and magical materials.
Thorium is a magical alloy developed by arcanists to replace mithril, which is expensive and rare. According to different formulas, it has 40% to 70% of the effect of mithril.
This time, Richard mixed 45% of thorium, and prepared a total of 32 rune pillars and 108 rune stones, almost emptying his family's assets.
After arranging the rune array, Richard came to the center of the basement, where the elemental energy was the most concentrated. Richard gently waved his staff, activated the twenty-seven rune arrays of the elemental land, and began to draw the power of the elemental land to cast spells.
——【Space Folding Technique! 】
Richard tapped his staff lightly, and golden runes slowly rose up. Then these runes quickly formed into one in mid-air, and then under his guidance, they were cast on the land he wanted to fold.
As the entire villa vibrated slightly, the energy of the elemental land immediately began to rotate, and a large amount of elemental energy entered the rune nodes that had been arranged long ago.
From the outside, this area suddenly twisted, and the space seemed to overlap, but it returned to calm the next second.
