1069 Ghost Tower
Skill copying?
This was good!
He could copy the skill into the Book of the Dead and use it as a medium to release the skill.
Copied skills were considered derivative skills, so most of them did not have a level. This was similar to the dispelling technique of the holy element.
It was just that the price was a little expensive.
Whatever. At the current stage, he was not interested in anything that could be exchanged with Empire merit points.
"Copy it."
Fang Heng confirmed in a low voice.
[Hint: Player has successfully copied the skill-Bone spear.]
[Skill: Bone spear.]
Skill description: A bone spear extends from the Book of the Dead to battle. The bone spear has an elementary poison effect (the strength of the bone spear is related to the player's level of necromancy, the strength of necromancy talent, and the player's basic attributes, etc.).
Skill description: The bone spear can cause additional damage after being thrown and can be detonated under control. It will cause a dark explosion and bone splash physical damage to the enemy.
Skill cooldown time: 5 minutes
[Hint: The player has successfully recorded the skill-Skeleton slave.]
[Skill: Skeleton slave.]
Skill description: Summon skeleton warriors from corpses to fight for you (strength is related to the player's necromancy level, the strength of necromancy talent, and the player's basic attributes, etc.).
Cooldown time: 3 minutes.
[Hint: The player has successfully recorded the skill-Bone wall.]
[Skill: Bone wall.]
Skill description: Summon a bone wall to block damage. The bone wall lasts for 30 seconds (strength is related to the player's level of necromancy, the strength of necromancy talent, and the player's basic attributes, etc.).
Cooldown time: 2 minutes.
After copying the three skills, Fang Heng heard light footsteps coming from behind.
Fang Heng raised his head and turned around to look at the old man who was walking toward him.
Randolf had a gentle expression. He had been observing Fang Heng for some time.
Most of the people who could enter the library's fifth floor were high-tier elite mages who had been recognized by the Mage Association.
However, he had never seen Fang Heng before.
In addition, the mask on Fang Heng's face was also particularly eye-catching.
Seeing that Fang Heng was reading books related to necromancy, Randolf had an idea and walked up to him.
"Hello, young scholar. I'm the Honorary President of the Mage Association in Griffin City. My name is Randolf."
Fang Heng nodded to the old man.
"Hello, I'm Fang Heng, a necromancer."
Randolf was about to say something when a young man came in from outside and said anxiously, "President, someone is causing trouble on the third floor."
Causing trouble?
Randolf frowned.
What kind of place was the Empire Royal Library? There would still be people causing trouble?
"I'm sorry. I have something to do. If you don't mind, I think we can have a talk later."
Randolf nodded to Fang Heng and left with the young man.
Fang Heng looked in the direction where the two people left and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Someone was causing trouble?
It wouldn't be Sandy, right?
"It wouldn't be...?"
Fang Heng muttered to himself and touched his chin.
He felt that he should not lie to himself.
It was most likely Sandy.
Fang Heng strode forward and followed the two of them down.
...
Just as he reached the second floor, Fang Heng suddenly felt a headache.
He heard a familiar voice.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you stopping us? What right do you have to stop me? If I'm not mistaken, this is the Empire Royal Library. Let me tell you, we were invited here by Her Highness Mingyue. Can you bear the responsibility of offending Her Highness Mingyue?"
Sandy did not care that this was the library, as he rolled around and made a scene as usual by shouting and yelling.
"Ah, I'm not leaving. What's wrong? Are you bullying us outsiders? What do you mean that it's up to you to approve or not? Why? Are you guys preparing to rebel?"
Fang Heng couldn't help but feel surprised when he approached the crowd.
Sandy wasn't the only one who was surrounded by a group of people on the third floor of the library, Victor was there as well.
Sandy became more and more courageous as he fought as if he was helping Victor.
More and more mages were attracted and gathered outside to discuss in low voices.
Seeing that Randolf was coming, the crowd quieted down and made way for him.
Randolf looked at the crowd and asked, "What's going on?"
A mage wiped the sweat off his forehead, walked up to Randolf, and whispered in his ear, "President Randolf, they want to retrieve the classified information of the Mage Association, but they can't provide any identification."
"What kind of information do they want to see?" asked Randolf with a frown.
"The construction information of the ghost tower."
The group of people who had just gathered around finally understood what had happened, and the whispers became louder.
In the crowd, the players' expressions suddenly became serious.
Fang Heng squinted his eyes slightly and couldn't help feeling puzzled.
The ghost tower?
What was that?
"The ghost tower is the result of the joint research of the Mage Association and the Empire," said Randolf after a moment of silence. "To prevent the information from being leaked, we have an agreement with the Empire that the relevant information can only be accessed when it is needed to be built."
Of course, Sandy would not be scared off so easily and said firmly, "That's right, we're going to build the ghost tower. Can't we?"
Randolf's face was still gentle.
The construction of a mage tower required a large amount of money and rare materials. Just the maintenance cost alone was also extremely high.
A Tier 1 mage tower was still fine, but upgrading to a Tier 2 mage tower would require a massive amount of resources.
It could be said to be a money-burning item.
In the past, the construction of mage towers had always been with the help of the Empire.
The Mage Association naturally hoped to build more mage towers so that they could nurture more mages and raise the status of mages in the Empire.
But the Empire didn't have that much money...
Although mages could earn money, they could also spend it.
It was fortunate that the mage team was an indispensable and powerful support to resist the barbarians. Otherwise, the Empire would not even want to pay the maintenance fee for the mage tower every year.
Moreover, Randolf had not heard that the Empire had any plans to fund a new mage tower.
So he judged that Sandy was most likely lying.
"May I ask where you plan to build the ghost tower, and whether you have obtained the permission of the local lord? Have you gathered all the funds?"
"Permission? Of course, we have one!"
As Sandy spoke, he waved his hand at Fang Heng who was standing behind the crowd. "Mr. Fang! He's asking for permission!"
"That's him. He's the overlord of our territory! He's already here, and you're asking if he allows it?"
All the people present fixed their eyes on Fang Heng at the same time.
All of a sudden, more than a dozen game prompts were refreshed on Fang Heng's retina.
