Age of Adepts

Chapter 407: Activating the Witch Tower

According to the control crystal, the fourth layer of the Witch Tower is where the Core Witch Array is.

The whole witch tower has 5 floors on the ground and 2 floors underground, so there are 7 floors.

The two basement floors are energy and material warehouses, which are also the common layout of the vast majority of witch towers.

The ground floor consists of an apprenticeship residence, a witchcraft hall, a library, an academic hall and a public restaurant.

There are sorcery gardens, breeding rooms, incubators, small integrated laboratories and sorcery practice areas on the ground floor 2.

On the ground floor, there is a sealing room, a library, a statue factory, an alchemy lab, and a scroll production room.

The 4th floor of the ground is the bedroom, study, meeting room of the Tower Wizard and the area where the Core Witchcraft is located.

On the ground floor, there are transmission rooms, private laboratories and workshops.

Such a layout was also initially completed at Grimm's request, with most of the witchcraft facilities having only one empty shelf, which must be continuously invested and supplemented if they are to function perfectly.

Normally, the Wizard Apprentice's area of activity is only 1 or 2 floors above the ground, while certain facilities on the 3rd floor can be borrowed by those prospective wizards and senior apprentices upon application. For levels 4 and above, only wizards can enter and must be trusted wizards attached to this tower. External wizards can only reside temporarily on the third floor.

Since the entire tower has not been expanded in space, the area of activity is not too large, but there is no problem in maintaining a hundred wizards and apprentices living there.

Grimm walks into a wide and bright central control hall, with clean, white, translucent stone floors, a hidden and intense elemental atmosphere in the walls, and a giant, bizarre crystal set in the central area of the Floor Witch Array. And at the core of this giant crystal cluster, a weird symbol loaded with floats is literally extinguishing, releasing strange sorcery energy from inside.

Grimm leaned down and carefully detailed, mainly scanning the internal structure and composition of the giant crystal quickly with a chip. It's weird. It's useless!

“Drop, an unknown energy crystal was found, no matchable substance type could be found in the database, no signs of artificial synthesis were found, preliminary presumption is extraterritorial material...”

Extraterritorial matter?

This means that this crystal is not the specialty of the wizard world, nor is it the alienated crystal that the high-order wizards have transformed with witchcraft, but... a special crystal that plunders from the ectopic surface or the depths of the stars and oceans!

Grimm took out the control crystal the silver robe wizard gave him and found it to be made of exactly the same material as this giant crystal. And when the symbols inside the giant crystal flash, the little crystals in your hand shake and beat together, just like two crystals breathe simultaneously.

Grimm followed the instructions of the Silver Robe Wizard and placed the little crystal in a groove above the giant crystal, then cut the palm of his hand and pressed the bloody hand over the crystal.

“Drop, data connection channel detected, do you want to establish a connection? ”

“Build!”

As spiritual power and giant crystals connect, Grimm feels that his perceived world suddenly becomes immense, and spiritual power extends almost instantly to every corner of the witch tower. And in his spiritual space, a huge light screen popped up, full of dense numbness and numerous operating instructions.

And the number one emergency command at this location is:

Activate the Witch Tower!

Unlike activating a witch tower, activating the witch tower means that Grimm has the highest permissions for the entire witch tower. Unless he goes through a special witchcraft ritual and voluntarily erases the soul branding from the crystal, he will always have the highest control over this tower.

“Chip, have you found any safety hazards? ”

“Dip, the control crystal has been initially detected, no back door procedures and security traps have been found… a more comprehensive test will be performed again after the Witch Tower is activated. It is recommended that the subject activate the Witch Tower immediately! ”

As Grimm re-knocked on the instructions to activate the tower, the small tower shivered slightly, situated in an energy chamber on the second level underground, and a glimmer of sanctimonious elemental light abruptly lit the altar.

Over the elemental altar, a fist-sized black hole was slowly opened, spilling a hint of colorful mist from it. As soon as they flew out of the black hole, they were dragged down and precipitated by the elemental pool below. Without half a minute of kung fu, the intense magical energy flavor flutters, the more colorful fog gathers, the closer it is to the bottom of the elemental pool, making it gradually a little wetter there.

Soon, clear and bright, but extremely thick and sticky fresh water came out at the bottom of the pool!

This is not fresh water extracted from the water element realm, but liquid magic elements from surrounding voids. These magic energies were originally gaseous, but under the precipitation compression of the elemental pool, their unit concentrations were too large to give rise to this liquid morphology.

If the witch tower runs longer between energies, these liquid magic elements will also appear as a solid-state magic crystal under further compression of the pool of elements. That's the hardest trading currency in the witch world!

With the activation of inter-energy, as the magic elements in the pool of elements converge, a strand of magic energy is extracted and slowly injected into the witch tower system. From the 2nd floor underground to the 1st floor underground, to the entire outer wall of the witch tower, all the Rubik's Witch Arrays begin to shine with energy fluorescence.

Three silver league wizards and Grigg witches standing half a mile outside the tower silently watched a glimmer of fluorescence shine from the base of the tower, then spread a little bit to every corner of the tower.

This still low dark red witch tower has sparkled at this moment like a beautiful fire coral, showing everyone its beauty and wonder!

“Come in, gentlemen, and welcome to my Wizard Tower! ”

Grimm suddenly heard a few joys and leaps in the air, and as his voice dropped, the already closed gates of the Witch Tower opened silently again.

Grimm met again with three silver league wizards in the club living room on the third floor of the witch tower, while Grimm granted some permissions and couldn't help but wander around to familiarize himself with the witch tower.

“Lord Grimm, if you don't have any new needs, we're leaving too!” It is still the Eugene Wizard who is responsible for coordination.

It can be seen that there are few people here, scarce resources, and three silver alliance wizards who are accustomed to respecting each other cannot resist wanting to leave once they have accomplished their task, not wanting to stay here for a second.

“No rush!” Grimm hurried to save the words: “The basic framework of this witch tower is in place, but there are still many witchcraft facilities not available inside, so I would like to know your bank's offer in this regard? ”

The Eugene Wizard simply gave Grimm a parchment and gave him a simple idea of the base price of most of the witchcraft facilities.

Although parchment is small, it contains a lot of content, and a lot of it is necessary for a functioning witch tower. Just seeing the base price marked behind each item, Grimm had to have some headaches.

If he was a centuries-old wizard, he would have some capital in his hands. But he is not, but a normal wizard who fights with bare hands, even the new wizard's hat on his head has just been removed.

As for saving… the resources and magic crystals gained from the last frontal war have also been spent on Alice's fate. He's got it now. It's estimated that only 30,000 or 40,000 crystals can be squeezed out, which is obviously not enough to make the Wizard Tower complete enough to keep its foundations running.

Grimm, of course, does not have worthless goods in his hands. Once the last empty stone is taken out, all the problems are solved.

But... he really can't stand it!

So Grimm and Eugene had a half-day conversation and built a small flame altar in the lobby on the ground floor at his own expense, then supplied some tools and equipment to facilities such as the alchemy lab, the statue factory, the scroll making room, and bought some magic seeds for the enchantment garden.

In addition to these infrastructures, Grimm purchased two half-body gourmands, two dwarf blacksmiths and two elves.

There is no way, he and the Grigg Witch will need to stay here in the future, it is not possible to go out hunting every day for a living, so it is only right to go out and buy a lot of food and supplies and give them to these interracial servants!

As for the Witch Tower Guardian, 11 Scorpion Lions are temporarily serving.

When the Flame Altar was built by the Silver Alliance Wizard three times five times two, Grimm immediately inserted an abandoned and unused Flame Lord scepter on it. Thus, every day he can summon five fire elements from the Flame Altar as Witch Tower Element Slaves.

With the accumulation of days and months, this maze of underground tunnels can be occupied by fire elements, greatly increasing the security of the witch tower. And he, too, can come out with some free servants, why not?
