When Rosen found them, they were standing by the wall of the first floor of the hall, looking at the busy flow of people coming and going with a bit of a loss.

Everyone was so busy that no one paid attention to them for a while.

Seeing Rosen arrive, the mages all breathed a sigh of relief and came over one by one to salute him, their expressions much more respectful than before.

Every wizard has clearly realized that the young man in front of him is a lord with real power, and they are in his territory.

It is wise for smart people to maintain basic respect for the owners of a piece of land.

Rosen waved to the group of people and said, "Come, I'll take you to your accommodation. It's not very good, but I had someone fix it up urgently. It should be comfortable."

Every castle has a place to entertain guests, and Crescent Castle certainly has one.

Located in the backyard of the castle, it is a courtyard separated by a white stone wall, with a number of relatively high-quality two-story wooden buildings built in it.

But it can also be seen that the small building is quite old and no one has lived in the yard for a long time.

So there were many carpenters trying their best to repair the damage, and many servants cleaning the yard.

In the open space in the yard, there were many wooden boxes and packages, which contained various magical items.

Rosen and the other mages stood in front of a renovated wooden house, their faces full of apology.

"The conditions are still rather simple for now, so please be patient. After some time, when the situation on the island stabilizes, I will let you all move into your new homes as soon as possible."

Equipment refiner Alonso and potion master Vigo were both people who had experienced great hardships. They were not very picky about material conditions, but they were very concerned about the quality of magical materials.

Alonso walked over to the supply boxes and said, "Lord, these boxes have my name on them. Can I open them and take a look?"

"certainly."

Alonso carefully opened it and found that it was a small gold-melting pot used for high-temperature alchemy. He took it out and took a closer look, and was immediately shocked.

"A spherical multi-temperature crucible. This is a rare and high-quality product. Where did you get it?"

Not to mention Shire County, this thing is not available in the entire Vilan Island. It has to be specially imported from the Wit Continent.

Wei Ge, who was standing by, was immediately attracted. She walked over to take a closer look and immediately came to a conclusion.

"It's a top-quality product produced in the Crystal Valley of Levender. Look at the multiple triangle marks. It means it was made by the seventh apprentice of Master Refiner Henry and certified by the master himself."

The khao mages were originally evaluating the pros and cons of the wooden house. After hearing this, Gatland immediately went to open his supply box.

After opening it, he was also surprised: "High-speed flow meter, it's first-class product from the Jade Factory. This thing is really good!"

At this moment, the khal wizards no longer cared about the simple accommodation conditions and went to check the supply boxes.

As more and more boxes were unpacked, it was discovered that most of them contained goodies from Levender.

Wei Ge couldn't help asking: "Lord, these things are very valuable, where did you get them?"

She did a rough calculation and found that even if it was purchased in Levender, the total value would be close to 40,000 Oggs, not to mention a small northern town in Veran.

I just can't figure out where Lawson got this good stuff from.

Rosen naturally would not tell anyone about his secret deal with Muradi. He just smiled faintly but did not explain.

Alonso looked around and said, "Lord, the quality of these devices far exceeds my expectations. But where is the laboratory where these treasures are placed?"

Master Luwakado and other Kao mages also had the same doubts.

Although this batch of equipment is excellent, it has strict requirements on the storage and usage environment.

They could not see any suitable resettlement sites nearby.

Rosen was naturally prepared.

He pointed to a small wooden house nearby: "Look over there, that's the entrance to a small wine cellar."

"I have cleared out this wine cellar. Would you like to follow me down to take a look?"

For scholar-mages, the spell laboratory is their second life.

Every mage attaches great importance to this matter.

Mages also know that when conditions are poor, building an underground magic laboratory is indeed a good stopgap measure.

So, the group followed Rosen into the wine cellar.

As soon as they entered, Wei Ge shook her head: "No, this place is too small, it's not big enough for one of us, let alone so many people?"

This wine cellar is specially used to store wine for distinguished guests. It is three meters underground and covers an area of ​​about 50 square meters, which is indeed quite small.

Rosen smiled slightly, raised his hand and tapped the ground, releasing a transformation spell.

The ground immediately changed rapidly, revealing a three-dimensional underground structure map.

"Everyone, please look. This is the soil layer around the underground wine cellar."

"You can see that this large area nearby is all compacted homogeneous yellow clay."

"The area of ​​this basement can be safely expanded to more than five times its current size by simply deforming the soil layer appropriately."

"If you believe me, I can use extraordinary transformation to quickly create a safe and stable double-layer basement, with each layer covering nearly half an acre of land."

As he spoke, the three-dimensional structure of the ground changed rapidly under the effect of the transformation spell, and eventually turned into a large double-story basement.

Looks nice, spacious and solid.

But constructing underground buildings is no trivial matter. If you do not have the professional knowledge, the worst that can happen is leakage, or even collapse.

Alonso had carefully studied the Transfiguration Alchemy given by Rosen and knew that there was nothing wrong with what Rosen said.

But he still had doubts: "Lord, how do you solve the problem of underground water seepage?"

Rosen smiled: "If you look closely at the structural diagram, you will find many special drainage grooves. Using these grooves, plus the assistance of some magic arrays, all kinds of sewage can be drained into the castle's sewer pipes."

"Of course, for safety reasons, I also specially set up a sewage pool to store the experimental sewage. Look, it's right here."

Alonso looked carefully and indeed found many fine structures. He was surprised and embarrassed.

"Hmm~~Okay, I overlooked that. Has the Lord also studied architecture?"

Rosen nodded: "I have indeed studied it carefully. I have also studied the settlement and deformation problems of various soil layers and have done a lot of practice."

Alonso was convinced of Rosen's achievements in magic, so since he said so, he nodded.

"Then I have no problem."

Wei Ge immediately asked, "What about the underground ventilation problem? You know, the magic laboratory must suppress power fluctuations, so we can't use airflow arrays."

Master Luwakado then asked, “I have a question.”

"As we all know, the deformation energy will be retained in the deformed object to maintain the deformation effect. As this energy gradually dissipates, the deformation effect will gradually disappear, and I am afraid that many hidden dangers will arise."

Rosen didn't say anything, he looked at Alonso beside him.

Alonso shrugged and explained.

"Master, standard Transfiguration does have this problem, and we have to take this into consideration when transforming living things. But this time, the object of our transformation is a non-living element in nature."

"Look at the surrounding soil, it's all compacted yellow clay with a uniform texture. This is the simplest object to deform."

Seeing that the Chao mages still didn't quite understand, Alonso immediately felt a sense of superiority in knowledge.

He tried harder to explain.

"Soil and rock are essentially the same thing."

"Dirt is rock broken into powder and mixed with water, while rock is dense, dry dirt."

"Through some extraordinary transfiguration techniques, the water in the soil can be squeezed out and made very dense and solid. Even without the support of transfiguration energy, it is enough to maintain the stability of the new structure."

Master Luwakado looked skeptical: "It sounds good, but whether it is effective or not, we have to practice it to know for sure."

"How about you show me how to do it?"

Alonso immediately looked embarrassed: "Well, I'm not very skilled at this yet."

Rosen took over the conversation at the right time.

"I'm familiar with this, but to do this, I need intermediate-level mana. So, who can connect the soul bridge with me so that I can borrow some mana?"

The mages looked at each other, and finally Wei Ge came out.

"My magic power broke through to the advanced level the day before yesterday. Let me help the lord condense the transformation energy."

Rosen naturally would not refuse. After skillfully building the soul bridge, he said, "Let's get started, Ms. Wei Ge."

Wei Ge condensed the transformation energy as instructed.

I saw a pure white light appear in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, the condensed light was controlled by an invisible will and floated towards the earth wall beside.

'Swish~~~Crack~~~'

There was a sound similar to that of stirring wet clay, and the earthen walls of the wine cellar kept retreating, while clean water continued to seep out of the walls at an almost violent speed.

"Alonso, check the location of the castle's underground sewage pipes and help drain the clean water out."

"All right, lord."

Alonso also used Transfiguration to create a makeshift drainpipe to drain the water squeezed out of the clay layer.

After five minutes, the basement expanded by more than 50 square meters, and Wei Ge could no longer hold on.

"Lord, my mana is running out. Let's change someone else."

Master Luwakado was so excited that he immediately responded, "I'll do it."

The transformation continues.

As a master of four-ring and 30-star magic, the transformation energy he condenses is pure and powerful.

The expansion speed of the basement also suddenly increased.

By the time Luwakado's magic power was exhausted, the basement had become a two-story structure, and the area of ​​a single floor had reached an astonishing 400 square meters.

But there are still many fine structures that need to be perfected.

The three senior mages of Kao immediately replaced the master.

Kao's middle and low-level wizards assisted Alonso in draining the large amount of clean water that gushed out of the soil after the deformation.

When the three senior wizards also exhausted their magic power, a large underground magic laboratory with a double-story structure, a single floor more than 3 meters high, an area of ​​more than 400 square meters, and containing various sophisticated structures was completely formed.

The walls of the laboratory are yellow-white and smooth to the touch, similar to jade. The floor is frosted and feels like pebbles, non-slip and comfortable.

While the supporting columns and reinforced buttresses on the side walls ensure the stability of the basement structure, Rosen also created many epic artistic reliefs on the surface, adding a lot of liveliness to the monotonous and boring underground hall.

On the ceiling, many light runes used exclusively in laboratories were transformed.

Mages only need to cast the Light spell and it will stick firmly to the rune, maintaining stable lighting while minimizing the leakage of power.

Finally, the laboratory was divided into three relatively independent areas, namely Alonso's weapon refining room, Wei Ge's potion room, and the weapons research and development area of ​​the Kao wizards.

The most important thing is that every detail is so exquisite that the naked eye cannot find any flaws.

It can be seen that the mages are very satisfied with this exquisite underground laboratory.

Every wizard looked around and touched things, looking around endlessly.

Now, everything is ready, except for equipment and materials.

Rosen looked at Stonard, who had been following him silently.

"Shi Tou, go arrange for people to move the equipment and materials in. Be sure to be careful and do your best to meet the requirements of the gentlemen and ladies."

This kind of auxiliary work is best done by the mage Stone. When the rough-handed warrior Alia comes, he can only watch helplessly.

Shitou immediately turned around and did it.

At this time, Wei Ge suggested: "Lord, why don't you give this wonderful place a name?"

Alonso also said: "Yes, we need a name, otherwise it doesn't feel formal."

The khal wizards also agreed.

Rosen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Let's call it the First Magic Center of the Island."

"Because this is the first and most important magic laboratory on the island of Sturgeon."

The name was very grand, and all the mages nodded in agreement.

So, Rosen carefully printed the name of the laboratory in solemn and majestic embossed fonts at the underground entrance of the laboratory.
