Chapter 0406 Activating the Witch Tower
According to the display in the control crystal, the fourth floor of the witch tower is where the core witch array is located.
The entire witch tower has 5 floors above ground and 2 floors underground, so there are 7 floors in total.
The 2 underground floors are the energy room and the material warehouse, which is also the common layout of most witch towers.
The first floor above ground is the apprentice residence, witchcraft hall, library, academic hall and public restaurant.
The second floor above ground has a witchcraft garden, breeding room, cultivation room, small comprehensive laboratory and witchcraft practice field.
The third floor above ground has a sealing room, library, golem factory, alchemy laboratory, and scroll production room.
The fourth floor above ground is the bedroom, study, reception room of the wizard stationed in the tower, and the area where the core witch array is located.
The fifth floor above ground is the teleportation room, private laboratory and workshop.
This layout was initially completed at Grimm's request. Most witchcraft facilities only have an empty frame. If you want to make them work perfectly, you must continue to invest and supplement.
Under normal circumstances, the activity area of wizard apprentices is only on the 1st and 2nd floors above the ground, while those quasi-wizards and senior apprentices can borrow some facilities on the 3rd floor after applying. As for the 4th floor and above, only wizards can enter, and they must be trusted wizards affiliated with this tower. Foreign wizards can only stay temporarily in the residence on the 3rd floor.
Since the entire wizard tower has not been expanded, the activity area is not too large, but it is still no problem to maintain the daily life of hundreds of wizards and apprentices in it.
Grimm walked into the wide and bright central control hall. The smooth and white translucent stone floor and walls faintly exuded a strong elemental atmosphere. A huge strange crystal was embedded in the central area of the floor wizard array. At the core of the crystal cluster of this huge crystal, a strange rune that was floating and sinking was flickering, constantly releasing strange witchcraft energy from it.
Grimm leaned over and looked carefully, mainly using the chip to quickly scan the internal structure and composition of the huge crystal. Very strange, nothing was gained!
"Ding, an unknown energy crystal was found. No matching material type could be found in the database, and no signs of artificial synthesis were found. It was initially speculated to be an extraterritorial material..."
Extraterritorial material?
This means that this crystal is not a specialty of the wizard world, nor is it an alienated crystal transformed by high-level wizards using witchcraft, but... a special crystal plundered from an alien plane or the depths of the star sea!
Grimm took out the control crystal given to him by the silver-robed wizard and found that the material used was exactly the same as this huge crystal. And when the runes in the huge crystal flashed, the small crystal in his hand would also vibrate and rhythmically, just like two crystals breathing synchronously.
Grimm placed the small crystal in a groove above the huge crystal according to the instructions of the silver-robed wizard, then cut his palm and pressed his bloody hand on the crystal.
"Ding, data connection channel detected, do you want to establish the connection?"
"Establish!"
As his mental power and the huge crystal were connected, Grimm felt that his perceived world suddenly became extremely huge, and his mental power extended to every corner of the witch tower almost instantly. In his mental space, a huge light screen suddenly popped up, with numerous operating instructions densely listed on it.
And the most urgent instruction at this moment was:
Activate the witch tower!
Unlike starting the witch tower, activating the witch tower means that Grimm has obtained the highest level of authority in the entire witch tower. Unless he undergoes a special witchcraft ritual and voluntarily erases the soul imprint left in the crystal, he will always have the highest control authority over this witch tower.
"Chip, have you found any security risks?"
"Ding, the control crystal has been preliminarily tested, and no backdoor programs or security traps have been found... A more comprehensive test will be conducted again after the witch tower is activated. It is recommended that the subject activate the witch tower immediately!"
As Grimm heavily knocked on the command to activate the witch tower, the small witch tower trembled slightly, and in the energy room on the second floor underground, a trace of elemental light with a sacred flavor suddenly lit up on the element altar.
A fist-sized black hole slowly opened above the element altar, and wisps of colorful mist floated out from it. As soon as they floated out of the black hole, they were pulled down by the element pool below. In less than half a minute, the rich breath of magic energy hit the face, and the colorful mist gathered more and more, surrounding the bottom of the element pool, making it gradually become a little wet.
Soon, a pool of clear and transparent, but extremely thick and sticky water came out at the bottom of the pool!
This is not clear water extracted from the water element world, but liquid magic elements from the surrounding void. These magical energies were originally gaseous, but under the precipitation and compression of the element pool, their unit concentration was too high, so they showed this liquid form.
If the energy room of the witch tower runs for a little longer, these liquid magic elements will be further compressed by the element pool, and a solid magic crystal will appear. That is the most hard currency in the wizard world!
With the activation of the energy room and the gathering of magic elements in the element pool, streams of magic energy were extracted and slowly injected into the witch tower system. From the second underground floor to the first underground floor, and then to the outer wall of the entire witch tower, all the places where the rune witch array extended began to shine with energy fluorescence.
The three silver alliance wizards and Gargamel standing half a mile outside the tower silently watched a trace of fluorescence light up from the bottom of the tower base, and then extended to every corner of the tower body little by little.
This wizard tower, which was just low and dark red, now shines like a beautiful fire coral, showing its beauty and magic to everyone!
"Please come in, welcome to my wizard tower!"
Grimm's voice with a bit of joy and excitement suddenly came out in the air. As his voice fell, the door of the wizard tower, which had been closed just now, opened silently again.
Grimm met and talked with the three Silver Alliance wizards again in the reception room on the third floor of the wizard tower, and Gargamel was granted some authority by Grimm, and couldn't help but touch around and run to get familiar with this wizard tower.
"Sir Grimm, if you don't have any new needs, we will leave!" The wizard Eugene was still responsible for coordination.
It can be seen that this place is sparsely populated and resources are scarce. Once the three Silver Alliance wizards who are used to a life of luxury have completed their tasks, they can't help but want to leave, and don't want to stay here for a second.
"No hurry!" Grimm hurriedly tried to persuade him: "The basic framework of this witch tower has been built, but there are still many witchcraft facilities inside that cannot be used, so I would like to know your quote in this regard?"
Wizard Eugene was straightforward and immediately took out a piece of parchment for Grimm, and simply let him know the basic prices of most witchcraft facilities.
Teleportation witch array: 100,000 magic crystals.
Detection room: 70,000 magic crystals.
High-level witchcraft practice field: 80,000 magic crystals.
Binding room: 4,000 magic crystals, 20,000 magic crystals, 50,000 magic crystals.
Sealing room: 30,000 magic crystals.
Purification pool: 20,000 magic crystals.
Large-scale comprehensive alchemy laboratory: 130,000 magic crystals.
Golem factory: 40,000 magic crystals.
Scroll manufacturing room: 3,000 magic crystals.
Enchanting laboratory: 7,000 magic crystals.
Alchemy slaves: 20,000 magic crystals, 800 magic crystals.
Transformed witch beasts: 160,000 magic crystals, 600 magic crystals.
Witch Garden Servant: Flower Fairy, Little Fairy...
Witch Tower Slave: Minotaur, Wild Boar, Ogre, Half-Dragon...
Witch Tower Slave: Halfling Gourmet, Underground Dwarf Blacksmith, Grass Fairy, Siren Apprentice...
Although the parchment is not big, it lists a lot of content, and many of them are necessary for a normal operation of the Witch Tower. However, seeing the basic price marked behind each item, Grimm couldn't help but have a headache.
If he was an old wizard who had lived for a hundred years, he would have some capital in his hands. But he was not, but an ordinary wizard who came out to fight with bare hands, and even the hat of a new wizard on his head was just taken off not long ago.
As for savings... The resources and magic crystals obtained from the last plane war have been spent on Alice's fate battle. He can only squeeze out 30,000 to 40,000 magic crystals now, which is obviously not enough to make the wizard tower complete, but only enough to maintain its basic operation.
Of course, Grimm did have valuables in his hands. If he was willing to take out the last piece of void stone, all problems would be solved.
But... he really couldn't bear to do it!
So Grimm discussed with Wizard Eugene for a long time, and built a small flame altar in the lobby on the first floor with his own money, and then added some tools and equipment to the alchemy laboratory, golem factory, scroll manufacturing room and other facilities, and bought some magic seeds for the witch garden.
In addition to these infrastructures, Grimm also bought 2 halfling gourmets, 2 dwarf blacksmiths and 2 elves.
There was no way, he and Gargamel would need to stay here in the future, and it was impossible to go out hunting for a living every day, so it was right to go out to purchase a large number of food and daily necessities, and then hand them over to these alien slaves to take care of them!
As for the guards of the witch tower, there were 11 scorpion lions temporarily.
When the flame altar was built by the Silver Alliance wizards in a few minutes, Grimm immediately inserted the abandoned flame lord scepter on it. In this way, he can summon 5 fire elements from the flame altar every day as the elemental slaves of the Wu Tower.
Over time, this maze-like underground passage will be occupied by fire elements, which can greatly improve the safety of the Wu Tower. And he can also have some free slaves, so why not! chapter;
