Brock and Borgeld finally returned from South, bringing a large number of people with them. Ryan could see at a glance that many of them were not citizens of their own territory.
"They come from the territory of the South nobles and want to learn blacksmithing skills from them."
Brock said in a loud voice, he took out a sword and handed it to Ryan.
"Amber Sword, just need to wait for its Legendary master to appear, and it will be able to grow from an embryo into a real Legendary weapon."
Ryan took the sword, and on the smooth and clean sword, he felt out the outlines of Dragon Scale one after another. The cold touch made Ryan feel like he was in Dragons's bloody mouth, and he might be swallowed at any time.
The feeling Frost Dragon Arryris gave him was similar to the last time.
"This is Knight's Greatsword forged by Dragon Scale from Amber Dragon. You should leave him in Calais Province's."
Ryan said this, not that he doesn't cherish this sword, but that he believes that Brock's forging skills are far from reaching its peak. In the future, he will forge Legendary weapons that are more powerful than Amber Sword, and may not even need to go through the embryonic process at all.
"Count Clayton gave Dragon Scale to Brock. Of course the weapons he forged belong to you."
Borgeld said loudly, someone had suggested that they do this, but they were beaten up by the girl. Gladiator Queen's fighting ability is not a vegetarian.
She was a little helpless because she couldn't get back a car full of women from South this time.
"I don't need this sword, and neither do you."
Ryan shook his head and said:
"When my father comes to Frozen Earth Territory, I will give it to him. Dragon Knight's generosity will not disappoint my little Baron."
Ryan did not explain why he said this. He looked at the gorgeous carriages that were protected in the team.
Transporting certain precious things can sometimes be seen from the appearance. The materials used to build Mage Tower must also have magic arrays to maintain the stability of those materials.
Grand Mage Macken and Mage Luna rarely appear together with Ryan today. Grand Mage Macken is also excited. This will be completely his own Mage Tower, not Mage Academy's.
The same goes for Mage Luna. As a demon Mages, no one is not excited to take a step further on this path, not to mention that this is the power that the demon Mages has always longed for, spanning the world and life.
With Mage Tower, she is the real Grand Mage, not Archmage Golem Puppet who is comparable to Grand Mage.
"I am Grand Mage. There is no possibility of failure. You might as well take a look first."
Grand Mage Macken said, Mage Luna had no objection, and she really wanted to see how other demon Mages shaped her own Mage Tower.
Ryan stood far away. In Grand Mage Macken's words, his affinity with Magic Power was too low, which would affect Magic Factor's wandering in the void.
Watching Grand Mage Macken once again show off its Grand Mage and Magic Power, the vast magic echoed in the sky, which was much more spectacular than the knight's fighting spirit.
In front of Grand Mage Macken, the materials locked by him flew up one by one. This was not mental power, but the most basic magic that any demon Mages must learn - Mage's Hand.
Mage's Hand appeared in mid-air one after another. As the most basic material of Mage Tower, those Levitation Stone flew out first, and Magic Power was cutting their outlines. It was a magical scene, magic. Mages's mental power fell on Levitation Stone like a blade, and Levitation Stone was like a sponge, easily changing its shape according to the magic Mages's mental power.
They are obviously not like this, and the mental power of the demon Mages should not easily turn into a blade. But when the two met, a gray-white tower appeared in front of Ryan little by little.
Many people around him were envious, because there were many magicians among them, such as Yelena's magicians who followed him at the beginning, and those descendants of nobles in the world of Bilge who later had some talent in magic.
This talent shocked them when Mage Tower appeared in front of them, because only those with talent can know what the existence of Mage Tower means to the demon Mages, and what an insurmountable mountain it is.
The mold of Mage Tower appeared. Levitation Stone couldn't make such a big tower float by itself. It fell to the ground, causing the ground to shake.
The most critical step began. Mage's Hand grabbed hundreds of materials around Grand Mage Macken. Ryan even saw glass among them. He had never heard of such a thing being made.
Grand Mage Macken sends these materials into Mage Tower. Only one-tenth of the materials are integrated into the surface of Mage Tower, and the remaining 90% are not included in Among Mage Tower, no one knows where they appear. This is the secret of each Mage Tower, because those materials may be the key nodes of a certain magic circle, or they may be the entire Mage Tower. A link in the operation of Magic Power, or the key channel that connects Mage Tower to the Magic Factor ocean in the void.
Where it appears depends on Grand Mage's own wishes and the best route change for Grand Mage. If all outsiders know about it, other demons Mages are likely to use some special means to destroy Mage Tower.
In the battle with the demon Mages, there are two completely different concepts: Mage Tower and without Mage Tower.
It's similar to how one can only roll fireballs with his hands, while the other can release the giant meteor technique in an instant.
Put these materials into Mage Tower, inlay and fuse them, and Grand Mage Macken begins to carve its own Mages Mystic Runes.
Each Mage Tower must be completed by the magic Mages himself, which also results in the magic Mystic Runes and magic array covering the inside and outside of the Mage Tower being different.
Under Grand Mage Macken's description, Ryan could only see bright lights and shadows falling on Mage Tower, and then the nine-story Mage Tower changed from gray and white to a tall tower of ice white and red.
Of course, the ratio of the two colors is not 50% to 50%. Ice white is like the color of Northlands wind and snow, which is the main body. Red red is like the traces of blood flowing, but it is only 10% to 20%.
Grand Mage Macken's skills are perhaps the best among Grand Mage. Just like Brock among the blacksmiths, while he is drawing the magic array, he is also forging the top meditation space of Mage Tower and the source of Magic Power.
Magic Power The source is crystal clear, made of some kind of transparent crystal? Or gems? The pool was forged, but in the end, Grand Mage Macken put in a drop of blood-red water, which was Heart of Life's Rhythm that Ryan traded from Frost Dragon.
The moment Heart of Life's Rhythm fell, the transparent pool turned into the color of blood and disappeared on the top floor of Mage Tower.
Everyone around felt that this Mage Tower suddenly came to life, and its interior seemed to be beating like a heartbeat. Then this Mage Tower began to lift into the air, completely suspended in front of Grand Mage Macken.
"The magic lines of Mage Tower require a long period of accumulation. For a Grand Mage who has lived for hundreds of years, the magic Mystic Runes shrouded in Mage Tower may even be denser and vaster than Legendary Mage."
"But the original Mage Tower only requires a part of the magic lines. If you want to engrave more lines, you can't engrave it in front of other people, and it also requires a huge amount of energy."
"When my Magic Power source is completely accumulated, I can reproduce Mage Academy and Mage Tower with 33% of Mystic Runes. After three visits, this Mage Tower will be completely completed. It will take about one or two years. Frozen Earth Territory's Magic Factor is still rich."
After Grand Mage Macken finished speaking, Mage Luna listened, and the tall Golem Puppet nodded slowly, dumbly.
Mage Luna understands that even though Grand Mage Macken seems so relaxed, this is because he is actually Grand Mage, Grand Mage who has been famous for a long time.
Using Grand Mage's Magic Power and methods to forge Mage Tower is of course easy and comfortable. If it were Mage Luna herself, I'm afraid the first step would be difficult, because she is not a builder, and there is no Mage Tower that once belonged to her.
The structure of Mage Tower itself is also very critical. Excellent design can save a lot of Magic Power consumption, so that Magic Power can be used more to bless the magic Mages itself instead of maintaining Mage Tower itself.
This step is very critical, it may waste Mage Luna a lot of time, and then the second step, those materials.
Every piece of material is critical. It needs to be used where it is needed. On which layer it is, what is connected to it, and what is connected to it below are all key. Mage Luna, who also cannot copy the answer, can only explore it bit by bit. This process is also a waste of time.
Relatively speaking, the Magic Power source and meditation space are more straightforward. The demons Mages know what kind of environment they need most when they meditate.
With Macken and Mage's Notebook, Mage Luna once again entered the state of study. She needed to build her own Mage Tower slowly and bit by bit, so others could not see it.
After asking, Ryan roughly understood that there would be no problems with the construction of Mage Tower. Mage Luna itself is the devil Mages standing at the end of this step. The meaning of Mage Tower's existence is to make things happen naturally, rather than to provide help when needed.
"To become Grand Mage, the most important thing is whether you can do Mages yourself. Mage Tower is just a process of verifying what you have learned in the past."
Grand Mage Macken was in a happy mood and was not so quick to return to Wilderness World to continue his research. He heard that Ryan also planned to visit the new plane world after recruiting people.
"That big wild boar is very interesting."
While waiting for help, Grand Mage Macken said:
"The area around it can actually affect the evolution of the flesh and blood of other wild boars, making them more delicious."
"It's more than that."
Ryan shook his head and said:
"Actually, the snow was very thick there before, but after that big guy went there, the snow melted and you could almost see the dirt."
"The divinity is bathed in its body, making it instinctively reject Northlands's environment. This big wild boar is a treasure you have found."
Archmage McCann has seen many people and things. He told Ryan that at the beginning a hundred years ago, nobles were trying to use this method to change their bloodlines and plunder the divine origins of the gods who died in the war.
"The nobles in the past were crazy about this, which led to the fact that one-third of the land in South can accommodate all the nobles in the Norris Continent."
"A large part of the nobles paid the price for their greed, and the remaining nobles fell into a carnival of victory."
"Among them, the empire is the biggest winner."
The manpower was already in place, and Grand Mage Macken no longer talked about the ancient past. When Ryan Planar Gate opened it, he couldn't help but marvel again.
"No Space Mage can make it so easy for you, not even... Deities."
Grand Mage Macken did not continue. He felt that it must be his lack of knowledge, rather than some extremely terrible guess.
"You are of the Clayton Family's blood. Dragon Knight will not be mistaken about this."
He suspected that Ryan was the incarnation of Deities, which was the authority of Deities, but he also believed in the Clayton Family, and the Church.
If Deities really came, how could the Church not respond.
The attendants passed through Planar Gate and soon returned to report that there was no danger on the other side.
——
The sunlight was a bit dazzling. The moment it passed through Planar Gate, Ryan squinted his eyes slightly and raised his head, looking at the dazzling sunlight here.
"He seems very close to here."
Grand Mage Macken said, but he did not feel any Magic Factor activity in the void, not even the elements brought by light.
If the snow to the north of Frozen Earth Territory is white, then the land also covered with snow at the feet of Ryan at this moment is dazzlingly pale.
The sun shines on it, and it actually reflects faintly.
"It's almost summer now, so it's normal to have such light."
Borgeld said, but Grand Mage Macken shook his head.
"Light is normal, but such a dazzling light cannot melt the snow here, which is very abnormal."
What he said makes sense. Cold and heat eat away at each other, but there is a strange harmony here.
"It seems that the environment in this world is not bad."
Ryan said with a smile, and then the result of the soldier's return from exploration made his smile disappear from his face.
Not long after, Ryan arrived at the scene. Here, a total of twelve corpses of men and women had their limbs nailed to cross stakes and fixed on them.
But that's not all. What's cruel is that every corpse has traces of gnawing. They were nailed here naked, and then some kind of beast cruelly gnawed and killed them. Most of the bodies were already bones, with bite marks clearly visible on them. Every face that was still intact had an expression of extreme pain. They seemed to be still alive at the time.
"This world... is dead."
Grand Mage Macken said, he was still confused. The inactive Magic Factor in the void made him uncomfortable, like a fish out of water, and he couldn't help but make such a judgment.
"But, in a world that is completely dead, how can we still be here?"
"These people shouldn't be alive."
This was also evidence, so Ryan could only continue to send people to explore the surroundings. Due to the uncertainty, the soldiers formed a team. Northern Warhorse did not run wildly. After all, the terrain here was unfamiliar, and no one could guarantee that there was no bottomless hole under the flat snow in front.
"Baron-sama, we found a beast ahead."
The soldiers reported that this was the only trace of life found. Ryan and his men rushed there, and sure enough, they found... hundreds of wild wolves at the foot of a mountain.
Each wolf has black and gray hair, and they grin ferociously at each other, tearing each other's flesh and blood. These more than a hundred wild wolves belong to two sides, and it seems that conflicts will break out within each.
Ryan saw a wild wolf helping a companion to kill another wolf one moment, but the next moment after the wild wolf it helped was seriously injured, it bit the other's neck without hesitation.
The air was filled with strange smells. The smell of humans and horses made the more than a hundred wild wolves stop in a melee, and a pair of green eyes stared at them.
Greedy saliva flowed from the gaps between the fangs, and hungry eyes stared at the horses under them and at them.
The next moment, more than a hundred wild wolves seemed to have become a big family, running wildly in the snow, and then quickly surrounded the one hundred people Ryan.
"Dismount and defend!"
Brandt shouted, and the soldiers stood on the outside, pulling out Knight's Greatsword and shields.
"Ouch——"
With a roar, the black-haired wild wolves charged, and then more than a hundred wild wolves came towards these humans and bit them madly, their green eyes were firm.
The long sword slashed at the wild wolf, and the blood stained the snow under its feet. The Knight Retainer were as airtight as a copper wall, but the will of these wild wolves was also particularly scary. They were injured again and again, and one wild wolf died. The remaining ones did not give up, and went crazy towards these humans.
Ryan pulled out Beast Bow, and the next moment the arrow left the string, Black Wolf, who seemed to be the leader, had all his hair standing on end, twisting his waist in a quick way.
The arrow that should have penetrated its head pierced its abdomen, and the pain spread throughout its body. Black Wolf roared in pain, and then jumped over Knight Retainer and attacked Ryan.
Before Brandt could swing his sword, Armored Bear Volibear had already killed him. With a deafening roar and a bear's paw, he landed on Black Wolf's head, sending it flying away.
The thick snow slid out of a bright red ravine. Knight Retainer angrily wanted to kill it, but faster than them were other gray and black wolves on the battlefield.
They rushed towards Black Wolf crazily, and then bit each other's flesh and blood. Black Wolf died in an instant, and most of the flesh and blood became food for other wild wolves.
As Black Wolf died, the remaining twenty or thirty wild wolves looked at these humans in fear while roaring, and then ran towards Mountain Forest in the distance.
Ryan felt their eyes on the edge of Mountain Forest, staring at them and the large number of wild wolf carcasses on the ground.
"This world seems to be crueler than imagined."
The wolves made Ryan's good mood disappear, and he didn't know what humans in this world were like.
