I actually found a magical quagmire, and the location is still in the Lion Heart Valley. With a better choice, Ivan will naturally not invest too much energy in Syndra's stronghold, and transport prisoners and supplies several times. Taking the opportunity, he quietly transferred back most of the mages stationed in the stronghold, leaving only an empty shell in place, and at the same time began the construction of the mage tower. The lowest level of the cave is entirely shrouded in magic barrier. After demolishing the buildings left by its previous owner, according to Nieux's statistics, the magic-infested land in the barrier is as large as one square kilometer. And in this demonized land, In the center of the land, a dark green swamp-like quagmire of nearly a thousand square meters is the initial shape of the magic quagmire. The magic power near the magic quagmire is extremely abundant, about ten times that in a normal environment. In such an environment, even if meditation is limited by the laws of the main world, the magic power accumulation rate is still twice as fast as normal. The significance of the Mage Tower to the mages is that after the Mage Tower is activated, the energy circulation circuits throughout the tower will begin to operate. It can sort out the magical energy that appears irritable and restless due to a large accumulation of unnatural reasons, so that the magic power entering the Mage Tower can Pure and gentle, it can be easily invoked by mages. Building a mage tower has not been a small project since ancient times. However, in ancient times, only mages who had reached at least the seventh level of professional strength and above had enough confidence and resources to build a mage tower. Nowadays, as long as you have With enough low-level mages, the lord of any territory can build a mage tower. The mage tower in ancient times was armed to the teeth. Not only can seven or eight domain spells be used at the same time, but at least hundreds of spells are solidified on each floor of the mage tower. It is a magical version of an armed fortress, and the mage tower has full firepower. It is completely possible to defeat an army of about 10,000 people in a short period of time. Today's mage towers are not so abnormal. It is already remarkable to be able to use spells from two fields at the same time without interfering with each other. At most, each layer inside can solidify seven or eight spells, although it cannot be said that there is no attack and defense at all. Ability, but the focus has already been on offense and defense. It has transformed into the most inconspicuous monitoring territory among the many abilities in ancient times. The result of this change is that the requirements for raw materials for the construction of the Mage Tower have been greatly reduced, and even ordinary stones that are hard enough can be used. This is why Ivan dared to start construction immediately. Since the mage tower itself is hidden at the bottom of the underground cave, there are troops stationed outside the cave entrance, so there is no need to worry about prying eyes or being attacked. So Ivan re-edited the original design, and very unscrupulously removed all the hidden confusion spells, attack and defense spells loaded in it, leaving only a long-distance communication spell and a domain spell hostility detection. After this modification, the difficulty of constructing the mage tower has been reduced again. If everything is simplified, it will only take about a month. This extremely simplified mage tower can be built and completed. It is expected that no one will see any problems in such a short period of time. Regarding Ai Wen's approach, the mages who were actually responsible for the construction whispered for a while, but in the end no one stood up to express different opinions. After all, they were more concerned about the help of the mage tower in practicing their spells. few. The faster it is built, the more magic power will be left in the tower. They are not happy enough, so how can they object? For safety and confidentiality reasons, Ivan did not recruit mages from the two demon knights who had surrendered to him, even though he knew that doing so would greatly speed up the construction of the mage tower. Finally, headed by Nie, more than sixty mages and a larger number of little devil engineering teams who mastered stone transformation spells gathered around this magical quagmire and began to carefully build the foundation of the mage tower. The mage tower is no different from other buildings. Various magic lines and energy circulation structures must be prepared from the time of building the foundation. All the mages under Ivan are novices in this regard. Even if Nie had similar experience in building a botanical garden, it could not compare with the difficulty of the Mage Tower, so the scene in the first few days was really chaotic, with endless rework due to various accidents. Fortunately, those who can become mage are not too bad in mind after all. It took a whole week for them to finally sort out the situation and get the construction work slowly on track. In this regard, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his decision to simplify the structure diagram of the mage tower was really wise. Otherwise, the slogan of building the mage tower in one month would only become a joke. In one month, his subordinates The guy who is good at helping but low in hand may not even have finished the foundation of the mage tower. In ancient times, only mages of level seven or above were qualified to build a mage tower, and it was not without reason. I have been busy with the Mage Tower for several days, and now I suddenly have some time, AiThen he decided to go see his pet Sarah. After Sarah was sent into the cave, Ivan placed her in a small cave at the bottom of the cave. The location was within the scope of the magic barrier. The magic here was very useful to a monster like her that was giving birth to offspring. help. I don¡¯t know if I have read it in that miscellaneous book. Ivan remembers that in this kind of magic-rich land, there is a certain probability that the level of the offspring of Warcraft will be improved. For those monsters that give birth to only a few offspring every few decades, this small probability is of little significance, but for the queen ant who expects to give birth all year round and whose offspring are often counted in hundreds Ivan feels that The meaning no longer needs to be explained. Shar currently does not have much ability to protect itself, so its existence in the cave is still a secret for the time being. Since the cave was blocked by troops specially sent by Raymond, there were no extra manpower in the cave to take care of it. Accompanying Sarah at this moment was a little devil specially brought out by Alvin from the small world. His gifted spells It is a comfort creature that is useless in building buildings. It is good for taking care of pregnant women. The key is that he is loyal enough to Alvin. Ivan assigned this little devil a nanny-like task. His task was not only to ensure Sarah¡¯s food supply during the delivery period, but also to soothe her emotions and record her daily conditions. Arriving at a certain corner in the cave according to his memory, Ivan called out to a dark cave with some uncertainty: "Kevin, are you here?" "Lord, I'm here!" A voice said There was a sound from the dark cave, and a little devil ran out of the cave. "How is Shar's situation? Is she okay?" Ivan nodded and asked as he walked towards the cave. "Shar's mood has always been stable. She has a good appetite and can eat the same amount of food every day. However, after eating the food, for some reason, she basically falls into a deep sleep until meal time the next day. Will wake up." Kevin quickly told him what he knew. "Sleeping? This shouldn't be a problem. As long as it has a good appetite, it means it is satisfied with the environment here!" Ivan thought for a moment and thought it was not a big problem, so he said. After turning a few corners, Alvin came to the cave where Sarah was. More than a dozen glow stones were scattered throughout the cave. Dispel the darkness from the cave. Shar was lying in a pile of broken magic crystals, looking drowsy as expected. Even if Ivan arrived, he didn't notice it. Ivan didn't make a sound to wake it up. After looking at it for a while, and seeing that Shar looked good, he looked away, under Kevin's guidance. He saw dozens of crystal-clear insect eggs in a corner of the cave, some of which were even showing signs of hatching. Ivan remained silent. He looked at the eggs for a while and counted them silently. Then he took Kevin out of the cave and asked in a low voice: "Kevin, Sarah has only given birth to forty eggs in the past few days." Insect eggs? Have the rest of the insect eggs hatched? "The little devil named Kevin quickly replied: "It is true that there are only forty eggs. Since four days ago, Shar has begun to lay eggs. It will lay ten eggs every day and then start eating. "Only ten eggs every day?" Ivan was a little disappointed. For mammals, ten eggs are already a miracle, but for insects. It is said that it is not surprising to lay tens of thousands of eggs at one time. Although Shar does not only lay ten eggs, but regularly lays ten eggs every day, it is still much inferior to the queen ant in Ivan's impression. "Lord, Kevin didn't lie, there are indeed only ten coins every day!" Kevin saw Ai Wen's disappointed expression and swore repeatedly. "Okay, I believe you won't lie to me!" Ivan waved his hands and quickly calculated in his mind. If you don't count the occasional dead eggs and some unexpected losses, you can only accumulate more than three thousand in a year. It's just a giant ant. Considering that the queen ant cannot control an unlimited number of giant ants, when this power reaches its peak, there may only be tens of thousands of giant ants. The upper limit of the number of troops that a viscount can have is five thousand. With a little operation, it is not surprising to have tens of thousands of troops. Perhaps Shar's giant ant kingdom has finally reached its peak and is not as powerful as he can have if he concentrates on developing his territory. . However, it is a free benefit, and Shar's giant ant army at least has the strength of a first-level professional and is absolutely loyal to himself. This is a rare quality in the demon world. Ivan feels that he cannot ask for more. too much. After seeing Shar's situation, Alvin continued to communicate with Kevin for a while. After understanding some other details, he asked Kevin to continue taking care of it, then left a pile of supplies and rushed back to the construction site in the Magic Quagmire. ???. As a fourth-level archmage, Aiwen plays a decisive role in the construction of the mage tower, and he only has some free time occasionally. If he leaves for too long, it will slow down the progress of the entire construction. So although Aiwen had not been away for a long time, the mages on the construction site still felt relieved when they saw him coming back. A month later, the main structure of the Mage Tower was finally completed in time due to the efforts of everyone, leaving only some debugging and improvement of details. As for the appearance that is so rough that people can¡¯t stand it, Ivan feels that No need to think about it. This mage tower was only built for the grand strategy of territory development. It is extremely targeted and has one-sided functions. The building materials used are even more ordinary. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a simplified version of the knock-off goods. It is estimated that it supports Lion Heart at most. As the territory expands to the seaside, it will be naturally destroyed due to the high-density energy flow. It will not be too late to consider rebuilding a standard mage tower when the time comes. Entering the core control room of the mage tower, Aiwen pressed one hand on the control crystal ball of the mage tower, inputting instructions with his mental power, starting the energy cycle in the mage tower. The magic quagmire seemed to be shaken by some kind of force, spitting out a large amount of dark green materialized magic power like a living creature. Shrouded in dark green mist, the mage tower began to emit hazy light from the bottom, and the fine energy flow was clear and distinct, rising layer by layer like a thread, covering the entire mage tower. Finally, it gathered into a bright point of light at the top of the tower. The light spots shimmered for a period of time, and then began to flow back to the bottom of the tower. After repeating this for an hour, Ivan did not find any lag or instability in the energy cycle, so. He thought maybe he could start testing the two spells loaded in the mage tower. The first thing to test is naturally the domain spell hostility detection. Ivan turned it on without hesitation. The countless basic spell structures engraved in advance in the mage tower were connected together by the running energy flow. After a little inspection, those basic spell structures that did not meet the current spell structure requirements were found. Those basic spell structures that meet the current spell structure requirements are disconnected from the energy flow before it is washed away. It is filled with magic power by the energy flow, waiting to be finally assembled into a complete structure and released. This is the principle of magic tower casting in today's era. It uses energy flow to dynamically filter and combine spell structures to ensure that such complex domain spells solidified in the magic tower will not fail due to changes in the rules. It took about half an hour to finally complete the combination of domain spell hostility detection, even with the mental power accumulated at the level of Aiwen's fourth-order archmage. I can't help but feel a little tired. Fortunately, it only takes so long when the domain spell is activated for the first time. From now on, I only need to spend a little time fine-tuning the structure of the spell every day to keep this spell in a state of release. With strong energy, Ivan entered the keyword 'Devil' into the crystal ball, and then officially activated this domain spell. The function of hostility detection is to scan out all creatures within the monitoring range of the mage tower that are hostile to certain specific keywords, unless the spell is suspended and then released again. Otherwise, the keywords entered each time it is started cannot be changed midway. Although Aiwen's mage tower currently monitors a large area, even covering the northern coast, there is only one keyword that can be input. However, one keyword is enough, and it will produce a problem with the word 'devil'. hostile. Either humans or demons, in short, it is impossible to have a good impression of Aiwen's territory, and naturally they are all within the scope of Aiwen's cleanup. As the domain spell was successfully released, a large scaled-down 3D map appeared in the crystal ball with the mage tower as the center. Ivan had played many 3D games in his previous life. After playing with it a little, he understood the manipulation of this 3D map. In this way, you tap your finger on the crystal ball several times to enlarge an area. There are nearly a hundred red dots in this area. If I am not mistaken, they should be a typical human army of a hundred people. Ivan zoomed out the map again, briefly estimated the location of this unit, and found that this unit was fifteen kilometers away from the northeast of the territory, which was already outside the usual patrol and hunting range of Ollie and Syndra. No wonder it could Keep the organization intact. "Fifteen kilometers may be a bit far, but this is also a good opportunity to test the accuracy of domain spells" Ivan thought, and then immediately checked to see if there were any territorial troops near them. The crystal ball in Ivan¡¯s hand has recorded the mental fluctuations of the main officials and generals in the territory, so as long as they don¡¯t cover it up, Ivan can use the surveillance of the mage tower to find them. Soon, Ivan found several territorial generals gathered together five kilometers away. What they displayed in the crystal ball were blue dots with different signs."Why are they all gathered together? Could it be that they are" Ivan thought for a while and found the record of signs about the territory and leaders from the parchment placed beside him, and compared it with the detection results in the crystal ball. , and found that it was indeed a patrol unit under Oli's command, and Oli, who had recently returned from the small world, was naturally among them. "It seems that we can test the long-distance communication technique by the way!" Ivan smiled and sent a command into the crystal ball again. This time the time consumed by the energy flow combined with the spell structure was much shorter than before, and it only took For about a minute, maybe it's because long-distance communication is only a third-level spell, while hostility detection is a pseudo-seventh-level spell! After selecting Ollie's mental power fluctuation, Ivan held down the crystal ball with one hand, and quickly sketched a line of magic text on the crystal slate matching the crystal ball with the other hand, and then clicked to send it out: "Oli Li, my dear, I miss you so much!¡± After the message was sent, Alvin saw the generals who were originally surrounding Oli, as if they were hit by a bomb, and they were thrown far away from each other. Although the crystal ball cannot tell the truth, Ivan can imagine that they must have been blown away by Ollie's sudden force field spell. Perhaps it was not only these officials who suffered, but also a large number of unidentified people. A patrol soldier whose crystal ball records mental fluctuations. "This reaction was very intense. It seems that Ollie must have received the message I sent!" Ivan was very satisfied with the test results, and then he drafted a new message and told Ollie about the human troop. A few minutes later, Ollie finally led the team to move to the location informed by Alvin. As long as the message technique knows the opponent's mental fluctuations, and the opponent is within the monitoring range of the Mage Tower, it can be successfully sent. This does not prove that the monitoring data of the Mage Tower must be accurate. Only by actually sending someone to record the location of the battle, Only by comparing it with the position confirmed in the crystal ball can it be truly determined. ¡¡¡¡ There is only one chapter left today, 5,000 words, please recommend as usual
