Chapter 32 Mage Tower

The demise of the Hades Gang shocked everyone. Such a big gang that had been entrenched in New York for more than 20 years was destroyed overnight, which shocked many people. So when they learned that the Hades Gang was destroyed because of its attack on the Elf Tears Company, many people did not believe it. But the Punisher's declaration made it clear to them.

For a time, the forces that were originally ready to make a move on the 'Elf's Tears' all stopped their efforts. Although the Elf's Tears made money, it was nothing compared to other money-making industries.

With more money, Richard planned to upgrade the manor villa into a wizard tower. Many parts of Richard's manor villa were made of wood, and it only had two and a half floors, with the third floor only half the size.

Such a villa is a bit small for Richard.

Richard planned to renovate the manor villa into a five-story building, and also reserve space for future upgrades. After all, he was building a floating city.

The newly built villa will use reinforced concrete and other metals. Richard does not plan to find a construction team to help build it. He plans to continue using the undead skeletons to help.

Since using the undead skeletons, Richard found that these skeletons were extremely useful. It was no wonder that many arcanists went to study undead magic. If it weren't for some professional techniques that were difficult for skeletons to learn, skeletons would probably be able to replace a large number of humans.

Of course, the skeletons are fully capable of running assembly line factories like those on Blue Star. If the capitalists can use skeletons, they will definitely not have any psychological burden.

Richard went to a cemetery in New York to find dozens of strong skeletons, and then used the Skeleton Resurrection Technique to revive all of them. Fortunately, many of these skeletons were in the construction industry, so they were professionally matched to build houses.

Richard purchased a large amount of building materials to build the wizard tower. The original villa was soon demolished, leaving only the elemental energy array in the basement.

In the Supreme Arcane Council, substitutes similar to concrete are also used in the construction of wizard towers. In addition to these things, a large amount of magic crystals, obsidian, steel and other items are also used.

Rich Arcanists will perform a full range of [Hardening Enchantments] on the Wizard Tower. Hardening is a very common spell used by Arcanists, and it has a wide range of uses. This is also the way most low-level mages make money.

The Hardening enchantment can turn ordinary wood into something as hard as steel. If a wizard tower is built in a standard way, after the full range of Hardening enchantments are performed, the entire wizard tower can withstand spells below the 7th level (including the th level) without any damage.

At the same time, hardening is also one of the basic enchantments that the floating city must carry out. According to the construction standards of the floating city, it must be able to withstand the bombardment of the nine-ring spell, and the floating city itself will not be damaged even in the astral world and the impact of meteorites and comets.

A standard hardening spell can harden a ground or wall within a range of ten square meters at a time. If the enchanter is proficient in hardening spells, he can harden a ground of thousands of square meters at a time.

The compatibility of Hardening is very high, and it can be enchanted with almost all objects, even living things, but the consequences are at your own risk. When teaching Hardening enchantment in the Mage Academy, all mage apprentices will be seriously informed on the first day that they should be cautious when enchanting living things, especially Hardening.

Hardening is a permanent enchantment that can only be removed by performing a ritual to remove the enchantment.

In the textbook "New Analysis of Motera Spell Enchantment (Light of Wisdom Edition)", the accidents caused by the out-of-control of hardening magic are clearly listed. In the Seventh Elemental Era, a wizard enchanted his lower body with hardening magic while happily communicating with a banshee, and the result was amputation.
Of course, amputation is not a serious matter for high-level mages. It can be solved perfectly by using cloning to create an identical body. However, low-level mages cannot afford the cost of cloning.

At the same time, this book provides another solution for mages who have this idea, using [Giant] and [Grease] for better results. In order to improve the enthusiasm of mage apprentices to learn magic, the Wisdom Light Academy published an extracurricular reading called "Pink Hands".

This book records in detail the various uses of tentacle and palm spells from the 0th to the 9th ring, from the Mage's Hand, Tentacle Binding to the th-ring Rune Hand and Group Shadow Touch.

It is said that this book was sold out as soon as it was published. These two types of spells have a damage bonus to female creatures, and of course they may also anger the opponent.

For a long time, both male and female wizards were proficient in these two types of spells.

Mages in the Motera world usually use the [Turn Mud into Stone] spell to build various buildings, and after completion, they will add the Hardening spell. The construction speed is very fast, and Richard also used this method to build the Mage Tower.

After pouring concrete, use the mud-to-stone technique to harden the concrete, and then use the hardening technique to bless the concrete. In this way, the construction speed of the Mage Tower is very fast.

With a large number of skeletons serving as labor, Richard does not have to worry about a shortage of manpower, and with the addition of various mechanical equipment, construction can be carried out day and night. The eight-hour work system, 996, and 007 are simply weak. The skeletons can work all year round, hours a day.

Of course, the only one who had a hard time was Richard, because the construction of the wizard tower also required the laying of various energy circuits, which required the addition of a large number of magic crystals, and the engraving of a large number of magic runes.

These tasks cannot be replaced by skeletons at all, and Richard does not have a wizard apprentice, so he has to do this step alone.

"Damn, next time I must recruit a few wizard apprentices and let them do the work!" Richard said, rubbing his sore shoulders.

A large number of skeletons controlled a large number of engineering machinery to carry out construction. The original manor villa, which was only 500 square meters, was directly expanded many times. The foundation diameter was 120 meters, the depth was 20 meters, and the wall thickness was 1.5 meters. With such a foundation, a 30-story building could be built.

This wizard tower will be divided into three phases. The first phase is the lower five floors, including two basement floors. The second phase is the upper four floors, as well as the overall enchanting process and energy channels, etc., as well as the logo of the wizard tower, the magic particle annihilation launcher, commonly known as the magic crystal cannon.

The third phase is the elemental pool and floating ring, and the mage tower is upgraded to the floating tower.

The easiest phase is the first phase of the project. After all, although the workload of the first phase is huge, most of it is civil engineering, with a large number of skeletons and construction machinery to help.

Richard's first phase of the project will take three months. The first month will be for the construction of the main structure, and the remaining two months will be for the construction of various facilities and rune arrays.
