Chapter 273: Construction of the Magic Academy (Part 1)
The next evening.
After a day of "hard work", the apprentices went to wash up one after another with red faces, and then hurried into the meeting room where the discussion was already heated to study the drawings.
The person who chaired the meeting was not Kloya, the irresponsible guy, but Talling.
He had planned to build a magic academy long before Croa announced it.
Naturally, Taling has been coordinating and planning the work in this regard, and the preliminary plan has passed the review.
What is needed now is to accept the apprentices' ideas and plans for the construction of the magic academy, discuss and integrate them, and then start construction.
In the meeting room, the apprentices took out the drawings they had worked on for two days and spoke enthusiastically, hoping that their own proposal would be selected.
If the designer's name could be engraved on the base of the academy, it would definitely be a great honor and I could brag about it for the rest of my life!
So for a whole day, the entire conference room was noisy - Ta Ling watched from the side, neither saying a word nor expressing his opinion.
It is collecting the plans of the apprentices and conducting secondary processing - because it is the only one that knows all the magical plants and magical beasts that Kloya has transformed.
Time passes slowly.
Finally, Talling made the final decision and said:
“Everyone’s ideas are outstanding, so it is meaningless to force a ranking. Healthy competition is a good thing.
But if you care too much about this honor, it will become counterproductive.
So I announced that each different area will choose the most appropriate plan and sign it on the landmark of each area.
I have prepared the plan. Anyone who is willing to learn water magic and do the construction can get the materials from me.
Lina, you will lead the team."
Lina, who was suddenly called, stood up excitedly - she did learn more about water element magic, and also studied alchemy and magical plant cultivation.
"Thank you for your recognition, I will definitely complete the task!"
She bowed to the tower spirit, and then received the necessary materials and drawings together with some apprentices who were willing to build the Water Elemental Magic Academy.
He left amidst the envious gazes of the other apprentices.
As the door closed, Tower Spirit announced: "Next we will discuss the construction plan of the Fire Elemental Magic Academy. Please speak freely!"
After saying that, it stopped talking and silently watched the older brother who was planning to learn fire magic and had a more irritable temper start a heated discussion.
…
The other side.
The Water Elemental Magic Academy construction team has arrived at the bottom of the sea.
According to the characteristics of the meditation method "Magic is the Breath of Nature", meditating and practicing magic in an area filled with water element magic can increase power exponentially.
Therefore, the area where the Water Element Magic Academy was built was of course chosen to be the bottom of the sea. There is no place more abundant with water element magic than the bottom of the sea.
But one thing needs to be noted: the magic fluctuations and properties of water element magic are not exactly the same. For example, exploding water ball, water spirit healing, water arrows, etc., some of these magics require violent magic, while others require gentle magic.
If it were only in the somewhat chaotic and magical environment of the seabed, it would probably not be able to develop fully.
This deviates from Croa's original intention of building a magic academy.
So in order to meet this requirement, Cloya specially created some very special magic plants for use at such moments.
When the construction team arrived at the bottom of the sea on board the sea dolphins, they were surprised to find that the sea dolphins were busy working with some almost transparent light blue materials in their mouths.
They shuttled freely in the sea, but coordinated quite well, and a small tower vaguely visible on the seabed was gradually being completed.
It is no exaggeration to say that the sea dolphins are now the overlords of the Atlantis Sea. After all, Croa is so fond of them, and the mermaids also take extra care of these small creatures which are actually alien species.
As a result, killer whales and sharks, which are theoretically the natural enemies of dolphins, will be beaten up by the mermaids on the spot if they dare to attack them.
Over time, they naturally became unscrupulous, but not overbearing.
On the contrary, this sea dolphin plays an extremely beneficial role in purifying the sea and helping the growth of crops and fish in the sea.
They prey on sick and weak fish, control the number of fish and protect them from certain diseases; their feces are perfect food for marine plants and plankton, which can promote their growth and maintain the integrity of the food chain.
So, it is normal to be favored like this.
And now, they are helping the Water Element Magic Academy to build the initial foundation -
After the tower was built, which looked no more than one person tall, a clear stream of water that was completely different from the sea water suddenly flowed out with it as the center.
"Is that some kind of algae?"
An apprentice who failed to grab the construction drawings asked curiously.
Lina, who was holding the construction drawing next to her, glanced at the markings on the drawing and replied, "This is blue seaweed."
"Its magic attribute is marked as level 2."
"Blue algae grow in the deep sea trench, 500 meters underwater. When they mature, they release a liquid, and these liquids will merge with each other."
"After fusion, the liquid has a hardness almost like steel. It can prevent magical beasts from approaching, and it can also provide a place for some magical plants to take root and grow."
Hearing this, another female apprentice asked, "With the hardness of steel, can the magic plant still take root?"
Lina smiled and explained: "This is the most special thing about it, because this liquid is actually alive. It is a kind of plankton called blue sea worms."
"The design drawings given by Master Ta Ling show that using this blue sea worm as a foundation can monitor the changes in the magic plants and magic power inside the academy."
"At the same time, we can also plant some magic plants. This is the plan you proposed, Fiona, so the task of monitoring the magic power is left to you."
She handed a blueprint to the girl who had asked the question just now. After receiving the blueprint, the girl immediately took out a small button from her pocket and pressed it lightly.
The water flow centered on her was pushed away directly, forming a circle of about ten meters.
Fiona stood inside the circle and took out a bunch of magic plants with tentacles floating like sea anemones one by one, and then pulled out the tentacles near their mouths without any hesitation.
Every time a tentacle is pulled out, the base of the anemone will grow new tentacles, as if they are endless.
Fiona, who had obtained the tentacles, began to trim them with scissors. After they were shrunk to a maximum thickness of one centimeter, she used a material called magic nutrient gum to splice them together.
Finally, install the assembled small tentacle bouquet onto the tree-shaped creature sensing magic device next to it, and the originally beautiful-looking magic device instantly turns into a tentacle tree.
Although it does not look very good, living things have more accurate detection capabilities than instruments.
Perhaps at a higher level, the difference in sophistication between instruments and magic plants will be further reduced, but for now, magic plants are definitely more cost-effective.
Moreover, it is hard to say which magic plant is more sophisticated after being imprinted with magic and growing over time.
Seeing that Fiona had already started working on the magic plant instrument, others also began to build things on the blue foundation that had already been laid out - the first thing to build was of course the ecological equipment that could isolate water.
When first considering it, they thought about whether to use the bubbles of the air coral as the academy, but Kloya directly rejected it.
Although the bubbles of air corals can indeed create an absolute pure land in the water, they are used too much. We can't use air corals everywhere in the future, right?
There can be no development without demand. Relying solely on corals will curb the development of other areas, which is obviously not feasible.
What the apprentices are building now is a special kind of structure, which is inspired by a magical beast called the Former Jellyfish.
That strange jellyfish is extremely large, and each one of them can even fit dozens of acres of farmland inside. What’s even more amazing is that there is no water inside its body.
The mermaids often use them as mobile potion fields to grow potions that don't require much water.
Now the magic patterns inside them have been cracked by Cloya and added to the magic force field generator, forming a special material that can support the sky.
In just a few seconds, the installed pillar-like magic generator began to spread out ripples.
The seawater is gently pushed away by the power of the ripples, not pushed away by force, but in an extremely gentle way that goes with the flow of the water.
But the effect is very good.
The ripples gradually condensed in the sea water, forming a circular, bowl-shaped force field barrier that covered the blue ground. The air inside the barrier was clean and fresh.
The bowl-shaped force field itself has tiny magic patterns on its surface, filtering and maintaining the temperature and humidity inside the barrier - this is the special talent of the former jellyfish.
For humans, the life-sustaining system requires a long and careful study, but for some magical beasts and magical plants, it is just their innate ability, or even something they are born with.
After the force field barrier was built, the apprentices began to take out an artificially created amber liquid and began to pour it on the ground.
Although blue sea worms can survive in the air, they are definitely more comfortable in the water. Besides, the purpose here is to plant a sufficient number of water-attribute magic plants.
Therefore, it is necessary to artificially create a layer of "soil", and water-filled amber liquid is the best choice. After the water-filled amber liquid is evenly spread, it immediately begins to crystallize under the action of magic power, and the configured magic nutrient solution is gathered inside.
At first glance, it looks like a layer of frosted glass is laid on the blue pool, and you can clearly see the water flowing under the "glass".
After paving the ground, they immediately began to take out the houses that had been processed by Croa and were made of insect shells and special alloys.
These houses will include teaching buildings, indoor training grounds, magic laboratories, libraries...
The construction of the house was handled by some strong male apprentices, and the remaining work of planting magic plants was of course handled by some careful male and female apprentices together -
The cultivation of magic plants is of utmost importance in the Water Element Magic Academy, so the magic plants have of course been carefully selected. For example, a kind of seaweed is used as the grass.
This seaweed, called deep-water seaweed, looks no different from the grass on the ground, the only difference is the color, which is a deep blue-black.
The colors are not nice to look at, but their function is to transmit the water magic power that they have worked so hard to purify to the other party when they sense that something in the outside world is absorbing magic power at a certain frequency.
This frequency is different for each deep-water seaweed, and if outsiders want to observe it, they need to make very hard efforts.
But of course Kloya has a way to cheat, and even imprinted them in batches. The water element magic emitted will continue to transform the surrounding environment and act as a source of magic.
With their existence, even an ordinary piece of land can be transformed into a magical land filled with water element magic.
But their color... blue-black, a dark color, makes the whole ground look ominous - perhaps appropriate for the gloomy evil wizard, but clearly inappropriate for the academy.
In order to prevent their academy from becoming a gloomy and evil academy, the male apprentice who proposed to fill the academy with various magical plants and his companions have already taken out a large number of magical plants from their pockets.
Among these magic plants, there are water mist flowers that spray like water, magic torrent grass that flows rapidly in its branches, and water mirror grass that is stable like a mirror...
In short, basically all forms that the water element can show are used as carriers of magic plants and are built in the form of gardens on this blue land.
As time went by, various water element magic plants gradually appeared on the dark blue grass. They were all safely placed inside the fence and separated by a magic separation field to prevent the magic from affecting each other.
In the final vision, the magic power among the magic plants here can exist in complete harmony without affecting each other.
Of course, that’s what the apprentices need to work on.
…
After most of the day the Water Element Magic Academy was built.
The construction team of the Academy of Fire Element finally set off with the design drawings that they had worked out after so much trouble.
The leader was actually Semir.
This apprentice who was resurrected by Kloa's Rock Note had a strong talent and affinity for fire magic, so he naturally got the position of team leader.
The location selection for the Fire Elemental Magic Academy is actually a little difficult. After all, the entire North and the Atlantis Sea have an oceanic climate.
If you want to set up a Fire Element Magic Academy, choosing a site is much more difficult than setting up a Water Element Magic Academy, but fortunately, there are the Sea Spirit Dolphins who are working day and night to expand the map.
In a sea area about 300 kilometers away from Hanjiao Island, there is a small underwater volcano on the seabed. The magic readings of that volcano are very calm, which is very suitable for construction.
So they rushed over with the drawings and materials.
This time they are certainly not building on the seabed. Their goal is to transfer the volcano directly to the sea surface through the space magic array, and then build the magic academy on the crater.
There is no doubt that this is a very bold idea, but if it really succeeds, the endless fire element magic power belonging to the underwater volcano will become the energy source of the Fire Element Academy.
Fortunately, luck seemed to be on their side. After Semir and several brave and careful apprentices built a sophisticated space-transfer magic circle around this small underwater volcano with an area of about two kilometers.
Along with the violent fluctuations of Kong Yao's magic power, the platinum light wiped out the upper half of the volcano like an eraser, and the upper half of the volcano appeared directly on the sea!
"Successful?"
"Teacher Kloa's magic circle is still the best!"
The apprentices who had been waiting on the sea put on thick protective clothing, picked up the materials in their hands and rushed up, using the third-generation Floating Moon Alloy with excellent magic-conducting properties to build platforms and magic pipelines around the volcano.
From a distance, it looked like the volcano was being plugged with pipes, and the pipes were densely packed - those magic pipes would absorb and continuously maintain the operation of the power of the void, keeping the volcano permanently fixed on the sea surface.
After the construction of the platform was completed, they began to build more magic storage rooms, magic conversion valves and other necessary equipment in the rooms inside the platform.
The other apprentices began to build the foundation of the Fire Elemental Magic Academy around the platform, also using amber, or resin to be more precise.
It is the resin of the flame tree stump.
These fragrant resins have been accumulated in the woods for a long time, filled with the magic of the fire element. They are not only building materials, but also soil in which magical plants can survive.
The reddish-brown resin floats on the sea, gradually forming a solid ground. A magic-isolating resin is also applied underneath it to prevent the erosion of water element magic.
Various buildings need to be built on it and magical plants need to be planted - the fire element does not seem to have the changeable characteristics of the water element, but in fact, the properties will be different depending on the fire source.
The simplest example is that the sunlight magic filtered through sunflowers and the explosive fire magic in a volcano are of course different.
In order to give apprentices more choices and not limit their development space due to fire, Cloya specially made a magnificent fireworks tree.
He engraved different magical runes capable of containing flames on every branch of the fireworks tree.
The sources of these runes are still from nature and the red dragon. After all, the red dragon is one of the dragon species that is best at using fire.
——It stands quietly in the center of the entire academy's foundation, and its leaves and fruits are all made of different kinds of flames.
Looking from afar in the dark night, it really looks like a blooming firework, extremely beautiful.
This fireworks tree is the most core facility of the academy. A series of magic plants that can attract and contain flames will be planted around it. The magic plants cannot produce flames themselves, but they can preserve flames.
When the magic mechanism around it detects that the flame in a certain place is dim, it will drop flame fruit or flame leaves.
The colorful fruits and leaves explode when they fall from the trees, and then fall precisely to the areas of different fire magic plants under the action of magic restraints.
Like a meteor flying in reverse, sparks like brilliant fireworks ignited different areas.
Various kinds of fire magic therefore sparkled on the magic plants, and flames of various colors swirled, forming a beautiful and mysterious fire academy above the blue sea.
With Semir leading the team, the apprentices worked quickly.
Compared to them who were relatively lucky, the apprentices who were building the Earth Elemental Magic Academy on the other side were in great pain.
