Chapter 368 War Fortress
Chapter 368 War Fortress
In front of the Xunmu Tower, Ivan packed up everything that was left and led the crowd out of the tower gate. Before leaving, he took a last look at the place where he had lived for many years.
"Inspector, since you are reluctant to part with it, why don't I keep it for you?"
"No, I can't use so much space by myself, so I'll leave it for the elders who need it."
This day was the day he moved to his new home. Before he could feel the emotion for a few seconds, a huge space manta ray flew over, with Angus and Mendane standing on it.
"That's right. When you go there, you will definitely look down on this place." Angus did not force him, and then added: "If you want to move out of my space school, I will bring Elder Mendane to see you off."
"It sounds like I won't be a member of the Space School anymore." Ivan looked at the vice president speechlessly.
"Hahaha, come up, someone is waiting over there. It would be rude to be late." Angus said with a smile.
"Your Excellency the Inspector, Mendane greets you."
"You two, why are you being so polite? You must have seen each other a lot these days."
As they were talking, the giant manta ray flapped its fins and soared into the sky, flying through the air, clearly ignoring Dongdu's no-fly ban.
Apparently, Angus was one of those people in East Du who had high-flying privileges.
After a while, the giant manta ray carrying a group of people arrived at the target town and flew quickly towards the center of the town.
This is Block 85, District .
A five-story tower came into the sight of several people.
The tower exudes a mysterious elemental halo that is dazzling and makes the tower appear otherworldly. There is no doubt that this is the unique temperament of a true wizard tower.
At the foot of the wizard tower, two female wizards had just arrived at the perfect time.
"This is Dorothy, the Lord Mayor's internal affairs officer."
"This is Ivan, the great scholar of Dongdu, Ivan Marichatton."
Dorothy is the confidant of the city lord Philomena, a third-level wizard. She came here specifically to hand over the wizard tower to Ivan, and she has a lot of things to tell the new owner of the wizard tower.
"Marichaton University Scholar--"
"Just call me 'Wizard Ivan'."
After the two parties met, Dorothy didn't say any nonsense and led the group directly into the tower.
"Wizard Ivan, wizard towers are divided into two categories, one is the ordinary type and the other is the war type. Your wizard tower has all the necessary settings and was built by our Dongdu according to the requirements of war. It can be called a war fortress."
"The lower two floors may look ordinary, but when necessary, they can be transformed into a purgatory cage, destroying any enemy that breaks in."
"The upper three floors have been expanded, and the area is much larger than it looks from the outside, especially the fourth floor, which is as large as half a small city."
Since there were outsiders present, Dorothy simply led them all the way up and gave them a cursory introduction.
The wizard tower has five floors, from bottom to top.
The first layer, which is the bottom layer, is a warning passage guarded by alchemical puppets and is also filled with elemental traps.
The second floor: where sundries, servants, and animal servants are located.
The third floor: botanical garden, breeding farm, cultivation room, etc.
Fourth floor: high-energy experimental field, energy particle pool, large-scale testing field, core prevention and control room, inner meditation room, etc.
The fifth floor: the outer meditation room, the outer control room, the parking lot, the bedroom, the reception room, etc. As she said, the interior of the upper three floors has been expanded, and the fourth floor is the overall expansion with the largest area. The third floor is followed by the expansion of the botanical garden and the breeding farm.
There is an extension on the fifth floor, which is a parking lot for airships.
"This is the Lan Que. The great scholar can take it when traveling in the future."
After a while, they arrived at the last place where the space was expanded, and saw a small and noble airship parked there. After Dorothy's introduction, they realized it was the "Lan Que".
The Lan Que is obviously a "bird-shaped" advanced airship. It does not have a hot air balloon, but is equipped with a small energy particle pool. It is driven by a combination of rune magic arrays when traveling.
"No, no, this will cost you too much." Ivan could see that the cost was high, so he quickly declined.
"You can't say that. Wizard Ivan is also one of us, and he is one of the few great scholars in our Dongdu. He represents the face of Dongdu externally. Of course, only high-end airships are worthy of your status." Dorothy said firmly.
Seeing that her attitude was not particularly firm, Ivan stopped refusing.
Later, with Dorothy's assistance, Ivan took over control of the entire wizard tower.
"Wizard Ivan, what are you going to name this tower? I'll make a note of it when I get back."
"Swiftwood Tower."
"That's a good name. I'll write it down and won't bother you anymore."
Not long after he took control of the wizard tower, Dorothy handed him some important items and left with her men. Angus and Mendane also left soon, leaving him more time to organize his new residence.
Such a huge wizard tower contains countless things, which cannot be fully introduced in a few words.
There are many things waiting for Ivan to explore.
Take the elemental particle pool on the fourth floor for example. There are five pools in total: two medium-sized ones correspond to the space and earth systems; and three small ones correspond to the water, fire, and wood systems respectively.
The witch tower is fully equipped with various functions, including attack range enhancement, attack power enhancement, strong protective layer, strong binding force field, strong purification force field, sealing equipment, etc.
You can also store a powerful spell in the crystal ball in the core control room, and use it as a template when needed, consuming the energy in the particle pool, so you can cast this spell frequently.
On ordinary days, Xunmu Tower is one of the nodes of the large formation covering Dongdu, and has the function of coordinating and organizing the formation.
When Dongdu faces war, the Xunmu Tower can transform into a 'semi-airship' mode and fly to the outskirts of the city with the support of the large formation, becoming a solid guard for Dongdu.
"It turns out that the great formation covering the entire East Capital is called the 'Earth and Sky Formation'. It is mainly based on space and earth forces. Xunmu Tower controls part of the authority of the formation."
"Semi-airship mode? This flying speed is too slow and too cumbersome. It must be pulled by the power of a large formation."
After Ivan truly understood the background of the Swift Wood Tower, he found that what Dorothy said about it being comparable to a war fortress was accurate. When necessary, the Swift Wood Tower could truly become the strongest defense force of Dongdu.
Without any deletions, building an ordinary wizard tower would require a large wizard clan to mobilize the entire clan and consume at least a hundred years of accumulation.
However, the war type cannot be built simply by accumulation.
A lot of space has been expanded inside the Xunmu Tower. It is conceivable that the construction of such a war fortress must have consumed a huge amount of resources and technology.
At this moment, he was completely impressed by the generosity of the upper class.
Soon, he discovered that the location of the new Swift Wood Tower was clever. It was right in the middle of the Enchanting Guild and the Vernon Millennium Archives. It was also not too far from the City Lord's Mansion, making it convenient to go to either place.
