Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
The arrival of Meryl will undoubtedly make Magic Tower lively.
And they also brought a lot of daily supplies and daily necessities, which greatly complemented the shortcomings of Magic Tower.
Release the low-level permissions, and let the disciples and Apprentices slowly transform the one or two floor of Magic Tower, but Grim and Kabi and Meryl hide in the living room on the fourth floor to discuss the later issues.
In front of Meryl, goblin Kabi handed a waist pouch to Grim, which contained exactly the 120,000 Magic Crystal it said earlier. But this time, it admitted it outspokenly that it was passed by Alice through Sorceress Merchant Union.
"Alice will not send someone such a large number of Magic Crystals for no reason. What else did she say?" Grim has a hint of bad feeling.
"The person she sent also said, let you be careful of monster coming!" This time it was Meryl.
And her words shocked Grim, then she lowered her head and thought deeply.
monster is coming?
Others may not understand the meaning of this sentence, but when Grim heard this reminder, he immediately came up with some 'interesting' stories mentioned in previous books.
In the process of each Great Adept force competing with the Black Forest for land, there are definitely many examples of monster coming.
It seems that monster, who lives in the Black Forest, insists that human beings' efforts to open up forests will profoundly affect the environment in which they live and bring them various bad effects. Therefore, once humans are found in their territory, they will unscrupulously launch attacks, and sometimes they will even gather together, and plan to attack human gathering points around the Black Forest.
In the past, Grim only regarded it as a land dispute between human Adept and monster lord. I believe that as long as I am careful and do not touch the surrounding monster territory, I will not cause their Powerful to rebound.
But today, I got a reminder from Alice that Grim had to reconsider the possibility of monster coming!
Since I came to Plague Forest, I have been hiding in the deep underground and rarely go out, and it is impossible to invade the surrounding monster territory. So what caused monster lord to be intolerable for his existence?
The answer to this question may not be answered by others, but Grim has a vague understanding.
Adept Tower!
With the establishment of Magic Tower, it will inevitably extract the free magic energy in the surrounding environment to maintain its own operation. This also caused an artificial magic force flow!
The distribution of magic element is also limited. Magic Tower extracts more, then magic element in the surrounding area of Magic Tower will be much thinner. This change is difficult for ordinary jungle beasts to perceive, but for the monster who possesses mysterious abilities, it is as clear as watching the texture on the palm.
Seriously, monster is also a magic creature born of rich magic element. They are extremely sensitive to the flow and change of elementium. How could they allow an outsider to plunder the magic element that they depend on for their lives around their territory?
So when the elemental altar is activated, I am afraid that this Magic Tower will also become the target of collective anger and hatred of the surrounding monster lord!
When Grim wanted to understand this, he immediately called Gargamel, and let him come forward to contact dryad Eva, who has been wandering around Plague Forest. Sure enough, dryad returned the message half a day later, the surrounding monster did change, it seems that they are slowly moving closer to Plague Forest.
Grim Then I realized why Alice had to work hard to send someone to send 120,000 Magic Crystal. Dare to use it not to support your own tower construction, but to support your own tower defense!
So far, the Magic Tower element altar has been running all day and night, but the liquid magic energy stored in the center Elementium Pool has not even covered the bottom of the pool. This is not to mention the lower-level branch Elementium Pool and the lower-level Mana Pool, which are also full of aerosol-like magical energy inside, there is no level that is rich enough to form a magic stock solution.
Now most of the free magic element that Magic Tower absorbs daily is used to maintain and transform the internal space environment of Magic Tower. Only a small part of the remaining energy can be introduced into Elementium Pool and precipitated. If monster strikes, Magic Tower will have to support the entire defense system. By then ... I am afraid that the absorption of free magic element alone cannot make ends meet.
Grim made the chip responsible for statistics.
If Magic Tower closes all non-essential Witchcraft facilities and rune sorcerer array, then the magic element gathered in the elemental altar every day will probably aggregate into 27-28 Magic Crystal. But in this way, Adept and apprentice stationed in the tower have to endure the surrounding harsh environment.
Without air-closed windows, without Magic Tower protection, without environmental regulation, Underground World where Magic Tower is so dry and sultry, but lonely and desolate, I'm afraid it's hard for individuals to bear!
And if you run Magic Tower protection, you need 12-15 Magic Crystal in this respect. If the relevant Witchcraft facilities are enabled again, the consumption of 20-22 Magic Crystal will become essential.
After all, the tower has many Witchcraft secret doors, protection sorcerer array, alert rune and detection crystal, these things also need to consume the magical energy inside Magic Tower when running. If you consider the Witch/Magical Beast, golem Construct, and Witchcraft gardens that you may have in the later period, the energy consumption of Magic Tower will be even more terrible!
The idea of relying on Magic Tower to slowly hoard Magic Crystal for profit is childish and ridiculous.
This is also one of the main reasons why most Magic Tower only open the lowest level Magic Tower protection in peacetime!
Once the war breaks out and the Magic Tower defense system is fully open, then ... then Magic Tower will soon become a big swallower. The speed of swallowing Magic Crystal can make Tower Lord Adept cry.
The situation facing Grim at the moment is that other Magic Towers may still have dozens or even hundreds of years of magical energy reserves. But his Magic Tower is poor, and the warehouse can clean and starve the mouse. And the most critical Magic Crystal reserve, Grim has nothing, the entire Magic Tower has been in ‘naked Ben’ status/mode!
Can such Magic Tower fight?
Holding the Magic Crystal from Kabi, Grim knew their weight instantly.
Which is Magic Crystal? This is clearly the life of Magic Tower under his feet!
If there is only himself in the room at this moment, he has the urge to cry with a headache. However, at this moment, the two lieutenants are staring closely at themselves, and even if there is any great anger and grievance, Grim can only suffocate slowly at bottom of the heart.
Grim smiled slightly. (Actually he wants to cry!)
"Things aren't that bad!" Grim held his forehead seriously and thought, "First of all, this Magic Tower is not on the surface and will not be so easily sieged by the beasts. This way, even if monster drives a lot of beasts, They are also easily lost in the dark and well-connected underground maze. It is easy to establish the first defense position there! "
"Secondly, here is just the edge of the Black Forest. It is unlikely that Second Grade monster will appear. If it is only a group of First Grade monster, with the defense of Magic Tower, we have a good defense and counterattack. Maybe there are some additional gains."
"The most important point is that there is a sea of lava under our feet. If it irritates me, use Magic Tower strength to extract the magma and pour it into this cave group. How much combat power will the remaining monster have?"
Through rational analysis and judgment of the battle situation, Grim listed the advantages and disadvantages of the battle one by one, and surprisingly found that he was not at the point of being completely beaten. It was also at this moment that Grim was awakened, and Alice strongly supported the purpose of running here to build a tower.
It really is an excellent area that fits perfectly with your own development!
First of all, there is no large-type Adept Family in the surroundings, and there is no too scary monster, which avoids the trouble in the rise of Grim. Secondly, there is a hidden volcanic lava sea in Plague Forest underground, which is absolutely significant for the future growth of Grim.
As long as he can resist the attack of monster, when the light of Magic Tower shines on the nearby forests, this black forest will become his territory. If the monster can't drive him out, they can only sadly leave here and relocate their homes further afield.
There are not many safe territories for them to migrate in the Black Forest, so even for the sake of their ethnic group, this group of monsters who are usually out of tune will gather to attack Grim's Magic Tower crazy.
So Grim will soon face an extremely difficult battle of protection!
…………
Stone Hammer Ruins.
Plague Forest in a weathered petrified forest 30 miles east.
dryad Eva The solitary pestle stands on a tall stone pillar. The surrounding weathered damaged stone pillars are thick or thin, or tall or short.
Standing on the stone pillar and looking around, there is a monotonous world composed of yellow and black. Numerous canyons, caves, and stone forests are covered by the black forest and sea, forming complex terrains that have become the natural habitat of monsters.
In the dark, I don't know how many dangerous guys are hiding in the shadows and caves, peering silently here.
Under the convening of the oldest Bebilith Tula, all the Adept level monster leaders in the nearby mountains and forests have gathered here to discuss the group of humans Adept in the manticore territory in recent days.
The recent changes in magic force around Plague Forest, they are all well understood.
The abnormal shock and loss of magic element has already constituted a serious threat to all monster present. Even many veteran monster can still assert that human Adept has built a Magic Tower there, otherwise it will not be able to explain the abnormal changes of magic force in the Black Forest.
Magic Tower!
With reference to this name, all monster can't help but look slightly changed.
This ... but a name that all monster hates and fears!
Because hearing it means that monster will pay a huge price for it.
Territory, hunting ground ... even life!
