The Dark Wizard Tower is a standard small wizard tower.
Whether it is the elemental pool, the maze-lock protective energy field or the floating ring, they are all of the lowest small level and have not undergone any strengthening or modification.
The long-range strike device also only has one hundred spell turrets and one disintegration cannon.
If we have to say what is worth studying, it is probably only the Tower Spirit and the Black-Striped Flying Wing Bone Claw.
The Dark Throne is an expert in studying souls, and is best at using souls to create various puppets and magic props.
In the plane communities they control, a large amount of flesh, blood, and souls of intelligent life are used in the experiments and creation of wizards (apprentices) every year, which is extremely bloody and cruel.
This also makes many wizards in the Dark Throne very good at concocting souls.
Therefore, compared to ordinary wizards who use soul crystals to create tower spirits, wizards of the Dark Throne prefer to consume larger quantities and better quality souls, abandon the step of soul crystallization, and directly create tower spirits.
The tower spirits created by this method have stronger computing and data analysis capabilities than ordinary tower spirits.
Otherwise, the Dark Wizard Tower would not have only one tower spirit.
Although some of the Dark Wizard Towers here were built for combat and do not require a high number of tower spirits for experiments and living, it is enough to illustrate the power of the tower spirits created by the Dark Throne.
After studying the container fragments of the Tower Spirit, Sunan also gained some insights. He plans to use them when upgrading the Tower Spirit in order to enhance its computing power and data analysis capabilities.
As for the black-striped flying wing bone claws, Sunan also kept two for research.
Although I have no intention of imitating it, it is a wizard-level puppet after all, and I can learn a lot from it.
After research, Sunan dismantled the entire Dark Wizard Tower without hesitation and sorted out the materials.
As for the Falling Star City, he had already broken it down into various materials.
Now they are just right to be used together in the upgrade and transformation of the Starlight Wizard Tower.
As for how to upgrade, Sunan already has a plan in mind.
First of all, in terms of energy supply, the central crystal energy transmission system and element pool must be upgraded and strengthened.
Needless to say, the central crystal energy transmission system is the core hardware of the wizard tower.
If a wizard tower is to be upgraded to a medium-sized standard, the central crystal energy transmission system must be the first to be strengthened and transformed.
As for the elemental pool, it has actually far exceeded the standard of a medium-sized wizard tower. However, in order to improve the efficiency of filling mental power, Sunan plans to continue strengthening it.
Originally, the floating ring also needed to be modified, but the Star Alliance was currently short of mithril, and the floating ring had already been synthesized and strengthened once before, so Sunan did not plan to include it in the upgrade list this time.
The second is spatial planning.
This is relatively simple, which is to expand the internal space of each area.
The last one is a combat device, including a mystique protective energy field, a long-range strike device and a built-in legion.
Among them, the maze-lock protective energy field, like the elemental pool, has been strengthened to a large level, far exceeding the standards of a medium-sized wizard tower.
However, Sunan still plans to continue synthesizing and strengthening. After all, no one will complain about low defense.
In terms of long-range strike devices, namely the Spell Turret Type II and the Dissociation Cannon Type II, the firepower is sufficient for the time being.
Although it does not have the plasma cannon that is standard on medium-sized wizard towers, the Dissociation Cannon Type II is just as powerful as the plasma cannon.
Not to mention the three hundred Spell Turret Type II.
In terms of long-range firepower alone, the Starlight Wizard Tower is superior to the medium-sized Wizard Tower.
As long as the energy keeps up, there is no need to increase long-range firepower for the time being.
Of course, the improvement of the Spell Turret Type II and Dissociation Cannon Type II must continue, mainly focusing on reducing energy consumption.
The last internal legion, five thousand adamantium golems are enough for the time being, and Sunan does not plan to increase them.
However, the number of wizard-level puppets is only twenty-five, which is a bit small. Sunan plans to increase it to one hundred.
After final calculation, excluding the upgrade of the elemental pool and the maze protective energy field, upgrading the Starlight Wizard Tower to a medium level would cost more than one billion gold coins.
Of course, this is just a rough number. After all, at this level, many materials can no longer be purchased simply with gold coins.
Especially when purchasing in large quantities.
Therefore, magic stones are more commonly used for transactions in the wizarding world.
"It would be much simpler if I used magic stones. I could use gold coins to buy secondary magic stones, and then synthesize magic stones to buy other things. The gold coins I spent would be even lower."
This is also the reason why Sunan is eager to lift the plane blockade and trade with other wizard forces.
The cost of many resources in his hands was far lower than the 'market price', so it was extremely cost-effective to use them to trade with other wizarding forces.
For example, magic stones, magic crystals, magic stone essences, elemental crystal cores, soul crystals, etc.
Once they can be traded freely, the huge profits brought by these resources will surely bring the Star Alliance a leap in development!
However, at this stage, due to resource limitations, the upgrade and renovation of the wizard tower can only be carried out slowly.
Especially the upgrade of the elemental pool and the protective energy field of the maze.
After formulating a detailed plan to upgrade the wizard tower, Sunan sent a secret doll to pass the plan to Lizé, asking her to coordinate the supply of resources according to the plan, and then returned to the elemental pool to continue practicing.
“It’s going to be a busy time again.”
Time is like sand in the palm of your hand, it will slip through your fingers if you are not careful.
More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
Starlight Calendar 1999, the Month of Flowing Fire (July).
The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight burns the earth.
After just a short walk on the street, my clothes were soaked with sweat.
Under the high temperature, the Central Avenue of Glitter City, which is usually bustling with people coming and going, is extremely deserted today, with few pedestrians.
Delicious!
A strange vehicle was approaching from a distance.
The appearance of the vehicle looks very similar to the luxurious carriages commonly used by nobles, except that it is made entirely of metal and is not pulled by horses. The four wheels roll forward rapidly driven by some invisible force.
The sound of the wheels rolling attracted the attention of many pedestrians.
Their eyes fell on the metal vehicle, and passers-by looked at it with envy.
"It's the latest model of magic car!"
"I heard that this kind of magic car uses magic stone as its energy source, so it can pull the all-metal body."
"I'm so envious, I wish I had one!"
"Stop daydreaming. Do you know how rare and precious this magic car is? Ordinary nobles can't afford it. See the emblem on the outer wall of the carriage? That's the emblem of the royal family!"
"Oh my god, it really is. Which princess or prince is sitting inside?"
The magic car moved forward, leaving the discussions far behind.
In the spacious carriage, Hailin was holding a thick book in his hands, flipping through it attentively, oblivious to the sounds outside.
Instead, the boys and girls sitting on both sides of the carriage heard the discussions outside, but did not say anything. They continued to sit quietly, for fear of disturbing Hailin.
The magic car crossed the central avenue and arrived directly at the gate of the palace.
The younger of the two opened the window, stuck his head out and said something, and the soldier at the door immediately let him in without even checking him.
The magic car continued to move forward until it entered a luxurious palace and then stopped.
There was already a group of people waiting in the palace, led by none other than the second prince of the current empire, Jerry Yanest.
Standing behind him are his wife and children.
Seeing Hailin and the other two getting out of the car, Jerry immediately went up to them and said with a smile on his face:
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit us, Lord Hailin."
The others also hurriedly saluted.
Several young boys and girls couldn't help but secretly look at Hailin, their hearts full of curiosity.
In terms of seniority, the young man in front of them, who looked to be in his twenties at most, should be considered their father's great-uncle.
It’s just that wizards don’t like to talk about blood ties and seniority, so his father calls him “Sir”.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group headed towards the hall.
During this time, Hailin did not introduce the two boys and girls behind him, and Jerry did not ask. He guessed that these two people should be Hailin's disciples.
In the hundreds of years since the death of the founding emperor, with the support of the Star Alliance, a large number of wizard apprentices have sprung up in the royal family.
To date, there are more than three hundred surviving wizard apprentices registered by the royal family.
Among them was a wizard.
It was Helin Yanest in front of him! Therefore, Helin Yanest had an extremely high status in the empire, and even His Majesty the Emperor had to greet him when he saw him.
Jerry also spent a lot of money to invite Hailin over.
Hailin, two others and Jerry entered the hall, while the rest left, except for a teenager of about sixteen or seventeen who followed them into the hall.
After sitting down, without waiting for Jerry to think about how to open the topic, Hailin went straight to the point and said:
"Tell me, why did you go to so much trouble to invite me here?"
Jerry knew that most wizards didn't like beating around the bush, so he gritted his teeth and told them the purpose of this trip.
"I would like you to accept my youngest son Guy as your disciple!"
Hailin raised an eyebrow and looked at the nervous boy standing behind Jerry.
There were faint fluctuations of energy particles emanating from his body.
Judging from his strength, he should be a second-level wizard apprentice.
"Is he a student of Starlight Academy?"
"Yes."
"For the sake of our common race, as long as he passes the Morning Star test, I will accept him as my disciple."
Jerry's expression froze.
Any second-level wizard apprentice under the age of thirty can take part in the Morning Star Assessment. Although Guy meets the requirements, he is too young and his experience is not deep enough. If he signs up at this time, his chances of passing are slim.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to ask Hailin for help.
While studying at the Wizard Academy, Guy made rapid progress step by step. He became Hailin's disciple in advance. With the guidance of a wizard teacher and the support of his family's resources, Guy would be able to grow faster than other students. In the future, he might become a wizard like Hailin!
Seeing the changes in Jerry's expression, Hailin knew what he was planning without having to think about it.
This was not the first time he had encountered something like this.
Since he was promoted to a wizard, countless people from the Aneste family have asked him to accept them as disciples.
However, he looked at Guy, a 16- or 17-year-old second-level wizard apprentice, whose aptitude was quite good, not much inferior to his in the past.
"Sir, I beg you to accept Guy as your disciple."
Jerry made his request again with a sincere look, but this time he also handed over a space ring.
"Here is one thousand lower-level magic stones, which is Guy's apprenticeship fee. I will offer the same amount every year in the future. Please consider it."
The boy and girl standing behind Hailin were surprised when they heard this, and their eyes turned towards the space ring with a hint of heat.
Sub-magic energy technology has now spread throughout the entire continent, but due to the low production of magic stones, magic energy technology is only promoted and popularized in the Jinyan Province.
The nobles and royal families living in the Jinyan Province naturally had the advantage of being close to the water and were able to collect magic stones to trade with wizards (apprentices).
And one thousand magic stones is already a considerable amount! Putting it in the Starlight Academy, it is enough to cover the expenses of a third-level wizard apprentice for several years.
Should we say that he is worthy of being the second prince? He is really generous.
Hailin's expression was also somewhat moved. He glanced at Guy, pondered for a moment, and finally agreed.
In addition to the magic stone, Guy's qualifications are also taken into consideration.
"Okay, from today on, he is my disciple."
Seeing Hailin agreed, Jerry was overjoyed and shouted to his youngest son, "Come over and meet the teacher!"
Guy's face flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly walked up to Hailin and saluted.
"teacher!"
Hailin nodded calmly: "Come back to the academy with me later."
Then he looked at Jerry again and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
The goal had been achieved, so Jerry naturally didn't dare to waste Hailin's time. He sent him to the door with a smile on his face and watched the four of them get into the car.
The magic chariot immediately drove out of the palace and headed out of the city.
In the carriage, Guy sat somewhat stiffly.
Hailin glanced at him, pointed at the two boys and girls and said, "This is Raymond and Alisa, your senior brothers and sisters, both of them are third-level wizard apprentices. If I'm not around in the future, just ask them if you don't understand anything."
"Hello, senior brothers and sisters!" Guy greeted them quickly.
Raymond and Arisa smiled back at Guy with a kind attitude.
Even if they didn't consider that the other party and their teacher both belonged to the Yanest family, the other party's qualifications alone were enough to make them look at him differently.
At this moment, Hailin's expression suddenly changed, and with a flip of his wrist, a book appeared out of thin air.
He quickly turned the pages of the book, and thin rays of light overflowed from the pages, interweaving to outline a somewhat illusory human figure.
"What's the matter?" Hailin asked.
The figure said in a deep voice: "About 120 kilometers north of Flash City, there are unrecorded energy particle fluctuations, the number is thirteen. The witch hunting army has already rushed over, you also go to support."
After a pause, he added, "This is Lord Xingyun's order!"
Hailin's expression became serious, and he nodded, "I understand."
The light and shadow faded away, Hailin closed the book, and said to the three stunned boys and girls:
"You guys go back to the academy first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hailin disappeared, leaving Guy and the other two staring at each other in bewilderment. (End of this chapter)
