A complete three-story magic tower usually takes about two to three years to build, depending on the strength of the owner of the magic tower. If the capital chain is insufficient, it may even take three to five years, and some people even take longer.
Dolai had more than enough funds. In total, he spent almost one million gold coins, not counting any losses. In addition, Dean Erangel and Vice Dean Lamb mobilized personnel and overcame all difficulties. It took more than half a year to build most of the main structure.
After the New Year, Dolai officially turned eighteen.
At the age of eighteen, one can formally inherit the title in the empire. Eighteen years old represents the qualification for formal independence. Although the empire can declare independence at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it is not until the age of eighteen that one is truly treated as a complete adult.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The instructors of the academy began to return, and on the 16th day of the first lunar month, the students began to return. On the 17th day of the first lunar month, some courses had already been opened, most of which were for the warrior side. At this time, many people would gather in the Potion Hall, some to sell raw materials and some to buy potions.
When Dolai and Carl walked out from behind Tallin, a lot of talented people had gathered at the door of the Potions Hall. These people could be seen at ordinary times, but they rarely dealt with them.
As soon as he arrived at the store door, a figure jumped out from the crowd and walked towards Dolai.
He was a little surprised that this was Bernard, whom he hadn't seen for half a year.
I haven't seen this guy since he was caught, but I didn't expect him to jump out again.
Next to Bennard, another little girl also walked out. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of bright eyes. She was only as tall as Bennard's shoulders, and her whole body was covered by a large magic robe, but she looked very thin. She followed behind Bennard, looking timid.
Dole saw Bernard, just glanced at him and paid no more attention.
Benard was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Dolai ignored him, he could only bite the bullet and said, "Palace Master Dolai, I want to join your magic tower. I am willing to pay 10,000 gold coins per month."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding noises suddenly quieted down, and even the people on the side of the soldiers opened their mouths wide and pricked up their ears.
Ten thousand gold coins a month, this is simply a sky-high price.
Karl was slightly stunned, and Dolai paused, a little dazed.
Bernard is a fourth-level pharmacist and definitely has the ability, but why did he join his magic tower? Is it for this little girl?
This is 10,000 gold coins a month, and Duolai couldn't help but be tempted.
He thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Come up with me. I need to know your purpose."
After hearing this, Bernard felt a little relieved. Dole did not directly refuse, which meant there was hope.
He nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." He reached out, grabbed the little girl's hand tightly, and followed Dolai.
After the four people left, there was a burst of uproar behind them. Soon someone recognized Bernard's identity. For a moment, there was an uproar at the entrance of the Potions Hall.
Bernard was one of Dole's students last year. Although he was not outstanding, his fame did not lie in alchemy. He was a third-level wizard, close to the fourth-level strength, and was very powerful.
Among those in their thirties and forties, Bernard is already a rare genius.
As a civilian, Bernard has very good talents.
He offered a price of 10,000 gold coins a month, which shows the competitiveness for the qualification of Dolai Wizard Magic Tower.
Soon after, the news reached the ears of other wizards.
There was an uproar at Erangel College. Upon hearing the price, many pharmacists wanted to strangle Bernard to death. How could they make a bid?
…
At this time, Dole and Bernard were already standing in Dole's living room.
Except for the living room, all other rooms have been converted into laboratories and are marked as restricted areas and are not allowed to enter.
Dolai had already made this place watertight because he was doing some biological experiments and cultivating corpse worms.
If this ancient strange insect can be cultivated to a high level, even hellish creatures like Baal will have to avoid it, so Dolai must focus on cultivating it.
Bernard stood in Dole's laboratory, his mental power constantly warning him to stay away from here, he was a little frightened.
As a wizard close to level four, he shouldn't be afraid, but his intuition told him that there were too many deadly things here.
Dole pointed at the stools and said, "Please sit down, both of you." He found two cups and used his magic hand to control them and poured delicious juice into them.
Bernard relaxed, sat on the stool, got a cup for the little girl and got one for himself.
Dolai looked at the little girl, wondering where this guy had kidnapped this little girl from.
Benard had recovered by now. He looked at Dolai and said, "I still have the same conditions as before. I want to join your magic tower as your subordinate. The monthly fee is 10,000 gold coins. How about that?"
Dolai was not in a hurry to answer at this time. He asked in confusion, "Why do you have to spend so much money to live in my magic tower?"
Bennard calmed himself down and had already prepared a plan in his mind. He said, "There are two reasons. First, you are the most talented pharmacist I have ever seen. You will definitely be a great pharmacist in the future. There is no doubt about it. There is definitely a future for me to follow you. Second, you can escape from a level 5 wizard. You must have extraordinary means. I believe you can protect yourself well, and you can also protect us. It's that simple."
Hearing these two reasons, Dolai's mouth twitched, it seemed that they made sense.
Ten thousand gold coins a month, to be honest, he was really tempted.
He glanced at the little sister, took a look at her whole body, and said, "Who is this?"
Bernard pulled the little sister who was reluctant to come out and said with a smile, "This is my biological sister, Rosa."
Rosa was standing in front at this time, feeling uneasy. She suddenly plucked up her courage, looked at Dolai and said, "Brother Dolai." Then she quickly lowered her head.
The moment Rosa raised her head, Dolai felt that Rosa was actually quite pretty, and wondered why she was so shy and seemed a little inferior.
Seeing Rosa's expression, Benard sighed, "Our mother and father were servants in a noble family. We were beaten and scolded when we were young. Later, my father spent a lot of money to send me to the academy, and then things gradually got better. It was not until I was promoted to level three that our family became completely independent. My sister is like this now because of the habits she developed when she was a child, and she can't change it." He slowed down and said, "My sister's talent is not bad, but she started a little late. She has just entered the extraordinary stage now."
Dolai looked at the two siblings and was a little surprised. It was good enough if there was one talented person in a family, but these two guys were both talented. Their parents must be weird.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree. However, in the near future, I need you to help me do something. If you succeed, I can let you live here for free for ten years."
Bernard suddenly perked up, his eyes gleaming with light, "Just tell me if you need anything, as long as I can do it."
