Chapter 45: The Arcanist's Ambition
Mage Tower.

The little witch Madison was sitting at a long table, reading a book in a black long skirt. Her fair skin looked like white jade against the black skirt. A red belt was tied around her waist, and her long golden hair hung down naturally. She would occasionally turn a page of the book, and then hold her delicate chin in her hand and stare blankly.

"It's so difficult!" Madison Witch stretched and closed a magic book. The magic book flew up lightly and circled in front of her twice, as if mocking her, and flew back to the bookshelf the next second.

Madison angrily grabbed the purple jade fruit next to him, and then bit it hard, as if he treated the purple jade fruit as a magic book.

This is the library of the Mage Tower, which now has only a dozen books. These books are magic books that Richard made in his spare time. In order to preserve these books, all the magic books have been enchanted.

Madison studied magic in the Witch Academy, but their branch of witches used the power of blood and tended to be sorcerers. It was okay to learn the magic of their lineage, but it was difficult to learn magic beyond that.

The spell Madison learned was a first-level spell, Weakness. It could turn an elite soldier into a weakling. This spell was a prerequisite for [Mass Weakness] and [Energy Drain].

Madison studied for a week but still failed to cast the spell. You know, she has magic in her body, as long as she can build a spell model, she can cast the spell successfully.

Although the little maid used to be a little star in Hollywood blockbusters, she did not develop those bad habits and studied very hard. However, she still felt that learning magic was too difficult.
At this moment, a space door on the fifth floor of the Mage Tower opened, and the next second Richard came here with two people.

"Is this the power of magic? In the blink of an eye, we can cross a distance of thousands of kilometers and directly come to the east coast from the west coast?" Anna said in amazement after walking out of the portal.

"Brother, I think I can learn some magic." After experiencing the spells, little Evelyn felt that those problems were not insurmountable. At worst, she could just learn this kind.

"Have you made up your mind? Don't regret it." Richard said with a smile.

"I've thought it over. I won't regret it!" Evelin said seriously.

"Richard, you're back." Madison looked at the people who appeared. When his eyes swept over Anna, they paused for half a second, and then asked casually, "Who is this?"

"She is Anna. She will be in charge of the 'Elf's Tears' company in the future. This is her daughter Evelyn, who will study magic here in the future." Richard introduced the two.

"Hello."

"Hello." The two greeted each other and then chatted briefly.

"Madison, take Anna and Evelyn to familiarize themselves with the environment. She will live here in the future. By the way, Evelyn will be your classmate in the future, so you must not be surpassed by a child." Richard smiled at her and went to the laboratory.

Madison rolled her eyes, waved her fist at Richard and said, "Just wait, I will learn all the magic here soon!"

"Come on." Richard said without turning his head. Although the first phase of the Mage Tower project has been completed, it still needs to be renovated and various magic arrays arranged. Richard handed over the ordinary renovation work to the elite skeletons. He only needs to prepare the materials and the skeletons will install them.

Inside the Mage Tower, only the energy pool in the basement and the magic array in the laboratory have been completed. Other places are still far from complete. It is completely a bare-bones room and the various magic arrays have not been arranged.

The training ground also needs to be equipped with a protective array and a space expansion array, otherwise the space is too small to be used, and some targets need to be installed. The meditation area needs to be arranged with elemental energy development to further increase the concentration of surrounding elemental energy, and increase more magic power and mental strength during meditation.

The planting area requires the arrangement of earth energy arrays and plant nourishment arrays to increase the growth rate of plants. Some of the plants here are the magical plants he is cultivating, and some are the materials used in his laboratory.

These various things may look insignificant, but they are also very expensive.

In the following period of time, Richard's schedule was very tight. He would meditate at five in the morning to recover from the trauma of his soul, and at nine o'clock he would teach Madison, Irina and Cathaway.

The course was not difficult, and all the lessons were basic, so the three of them were making good progress. In the afternoon, he would assign some homework for the others to study, while he would work in the laboratory or build various magic arrays for the Mage Tower.

In the evening, I would look over some of the homework of several people, and then continue to perfect the production of the Iron Golem. When I was a little tired, I would go back to play Gwent with the witch or the banshee to relax. During this period of time, several people's card skills have greatly improved, and they have learned a lot of new moves, bah, knowledge.

The construction of the Iron Golem took some time longer than expected, mainly because he found that after using the special steel and titanium smelted in this era, the defense of the Iron Golem was greatly improved, and he needed to upgrade the combat template of the Iron Golem.

Richard created a dimensional space inside the Iron Golem to store the modern equipment he had modified.

After his transformation, the space inside has been expanded to 100m*100m*100m, which is enough to hold a small arsenal. At the same time, it also has the original functions of the Iron Golem, close combat advanced magic weapons, flight ability, various magic rays, magic particle shields, magic repair devices, etc.

This Iron Golem can cast spells up to the seventh ring, and its spell sequence has more than fifty types of spells. Among them, there are three seventh ring spells, five sixth ring spells, seven fifth ring spells, and fifteen fourth ring spells. In order to engrave these spell sequences, Richard spent a lot of effort and installed a magic core on this Iron Golem.

Excluding labor costs, the cost of this Iron Golem has exceeded 100 million US dollars. Richard estimated that if it is completed, including his labor costs, it will cost at least 300 million US dollars. An ordinary Iron Golem may cost less than 1 million US dollars.

As for the combat power, Richard estimated that it should be not much different from Iron Man's later armor, or even a little bit better. After all, Iron Man's armor has no effect on Hulk, but this Iron Golem has soul attack, which can directly cause damage to his soul.

And the high-frequency vibration blade of magic energy particles that he installed on the Iron Golem was a weapon specially made by the arcane masters for killing gods. Of course, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to kill gods with just this kind of weapon. Killing gods has always been one of the top research topics of the Supreme Arcane Council.

There is a saying: An arcanist who doesn't want to kill gods is not a good arcanist.
