Chapter 1099 Antony’s Tower
Compared with the towering and strange Spirit World Clock Tower or the Star Tower, Anthony's Mage Tower looks much simpler. Although it also looks very mysterious, the size of this tower is only smaller than that of the Spirit World Clock Tower. Half, the style is also more "pragmatic". The gray appearance and the lack of lines on the spiers make it look no different from an ordinary castle bell tower. The only thing that makes it unique is that the overall shape of the tower is like It is a weird "fork". The lower part of the tower is a straight cylinder, while the upper part is divided into several slightly thinner tower bodies. Each branch has its own independent spire. This makes It looks very unstable on the outside: although it is actually extremely strong.
Apart from those weird spiers, there is nothing special about the entire Mage Tower, but the plain appearance does not mean that this place is simple: the Anthony Mage Tower is made of huge gray-white rocks, with fine stones cast between the rocks. A metal mixed with gold and mithril - these metals are enough to buy almost any small kingdom on the continent, but this tower has been standing here for hundreds of years, and still no one dares to take advantage of it.
Oh, in fact, some people have tried this before - these people are now buried under the giant wooden walls of Grandia, nourishing the forest sea of the Elf Kingdom.
The old mage didn't just use priceless rare metals as cement just for the sake of luxury and waste. In fact, these magic metals cast into the cracks of the rocks brought a huge rate of mana fusion to the mage tower, allowing it to operate with extremely high efficiency. Channeling the power of the tower owner also facilitates Anthony's many daily magic research. Before Anthony became the inquisitor, he was first of all a powerful and knowledgeable court mage of the kingdom. Studying the mysteries of magic and the stars was his greatest hobby. After becoming the agent of the gods, he would of course have more opportunities to continue these studies. The old mage has his own identity on many civilized planets in the Chadaner Star Region. Sometimes he is a mysterious prophet, sometimes he is a royal wizard hired by a certain kingdom, and sometimes he is a weird and awesome great magician. But more often than not, he is an independent hermit whose whereabouts are elusive, but no matter what identity he lives in, he will build a mage tower on the local planet, just like the one in front of him.
This was his habit when he was still an ordinary person.
The Mage Tower is not as gloomy and depressing as ordinary people think of the Wizard Tower. In fact, except for the magical artifacts and arcane phenomena that can scare people from time to time, the tower is brightly lit and brightly styled. Hao Ren could see that the rock walls in the tower were shining with a dim blue or green light, which was the halo released by the magic-guided metal seeping into the cracks of the stone and catalyzed by the arcane environment. Anthony was obviously very proud of his design. He led the way and introduced his home to others: "I have spent more than three hundred years improving this traditional structure, and finally obtained it from the 'simulated neural fiber network' technology of a certain world. Inspiration, the entire tower is wrapped with a three-dimensional energy network. These metal wires and magic energy conduits buried in the rock wall conduct energy like blood vessels and nerve bundles. The tower can also be used as an antenna, and I am in I am in contact with the bases installed on other planets. I am ashamed to say that many basic technologies and resources were given to me by the goddess. Manpower has its limit... But as long as we have time, we can actually do anything. It can be researched.”
"You're much better than me," Hao Ren patted his head, "I'm not a scientist."
"Don't belittle yourself. Many people are paying attention to you. Your ability has already put many senior prosecutors to shame," Anthony waved his hand, "And I'm sure that your research and achievements in 'divinity' are definitely better than mine." , I have been a prosecutor for thousands of years, and I have never dared to deal with artifacts, but I heard that you have piled a lot of artifacts into your home, and you even dared to put demigods into the laboratory and slice them - I I’ve never had such a feat in my life.”
Hao Ren curled his lips, thinking that he was not willing to deal with such dangerous things all day long...
"Tell us about the situation of Yggdrasil," Hao Ren changed the subject, "How is its current condition?"
"I have never come into contact with a creature like the 'Eldest Son', but according to my observation, his current condition should be considered stable - maybe he has exhausted his strength, but he is quite honest now," Anthony walked on the long spiral staircase. , stroking his beard as he said, "I have a wizard's hut set up in space. An apprentice on duty in the hut happened to capture the scene when 'that thing' arrived. What a poor child, he was almost scared out of his mind. Come."
They walked up the spiral staircase and passed through the banquet hall of the Mage Tower and two laboratories of unknown purpose. The space on the upper floor seemed empty. Hao Ren didn't know if it was his imagination: he found that the further he went towards the tower, Going up, the surroundings will appear wider, as if the tower is a cone with a thick top and a thin bottom: However, this is completely opposite to the shape of the tower.
He suspected that this was the effect of some kind of spatial expansion being solidified inside the tower.
Finally, they came to a huge rotunda that was almost as wide as a football field. This rotunda was surrounded by colored glass, and above it was a black dome made of obsidian. The dark and heavy dome made people feel uncomfortable. People feel more pressure, and between the obsidian domes, there are countless stars, like light, moving. Those light spots look like they are projected on the roof by some kind of spotlight, but if you look closely, The words are like the light seeping out of obsidian. Galadreau introduced: "This is Anthony's observatory."
"As I said before, I used the astral barrier to temporarily cover Yugudora Hill to prevent ordinary people in the Chadaner sector from being disturbed. This is the entrance to the astral barrier." Anthony's voice was loud. The sound echoed in the rotunda, and at the same time as his words fell, a thick mass of darkness suddenly emerged from somewhere in the shadow of the rotunda. This mass of darkness quickly took shape, and finally turned into a petite, skin-colored figure. Pale girl. The girl glanced at Hao Ren curiously, then "floated" soundlessly in front of Anthony like a real shadow.
"Teacher," the girl saluted respectfully, "the star track disk has been adjusted."
"This is the student I took in more than thirty years ago, Ellu. She is responsible for maintaining the observatory here," Anthony introduced. "I must say, there are not many students who can complete those studies. You just saw I’m so jealous of the one who ran away - so don’t underestimate Ai Lu. Ai Lu, this is Mr. Hao Ren that I mentioned to you. He is a colleague of the teacher, and these are his friends... …”
Ellu was looking at Hao Ren curiously. When she heard his name, she immediately looked like she was thinking of something, and then jumped back like a frightened rabbit...
Hao Ren: "..."
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Elu immediately realized his rudeness and apologized nervously, "Your Excellency, prosecutor! I just..."
"No, stop talking. I know what you want to say," Hao Ren said with a dull expression, then turned his head slightly to look at Galadra, "Haha."
Galadra: "..."
Everyone, please don't forget who gave Hao Ren the reputation of "Explosion wherever you go," "Explosion Genius," and "Bombshell Ren."
Anthony was also quite awkward, but the old man was really good at holding the scene, or the older man was really thick-skinned. He ignored the awkward atmosphere caused by his students and ordered: "Open the entrance to the star barrier, we are going to meet. It’s the big guy I found yesterday.”
Ellu breathed out a sigh of relief, and then ran to open the barrier in a hurry: The barrier controller was at the edge of the rotunda. It was a mana ball floating in the air. Hao Ren thought it was a light bulb at first...
As Elu injected energy into the mana ball, Hao Ren heard a strange clicking sound in the hall, and the source of this sound...
It's the obsidian dome overhead!
As everyone watched in astonishment, they saw countless criss-crossing bright cracks suddenly appeared on the obsidian dome that looked extremely thick and integrated. These cracks were like lines connecting the stars of the constellation, outlined on the stone top. Countless patterns, and then, based on these lines, the entire obsidian layer gradually decomposed and dispersed, and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
An endless space appears in front of everyone, and real stars shine in the space.
The top of Antony's Tower is built directly among the stars.
"I connected the space equipment issued by the organization with the facilities of the magic tower itself, and created a plane hall. This tower is actually divided into two parts, the lower part is on the surface, and the upper part is near the star Chadaner—— The star Chadaner is the origin of the name of this star area. Although it is the most inconspicuous among the hundreds of stars here, it is the birthplace of ancient civilization here... Oh, you should have seen this part of the information. ”
At this time, Hao Ren had a thought in his mind: He really deserves to be an old employee!
