The Heavenly Craft Tower is located outside the Reverse Yin-Yang Inversion Grand Formation.

Therefore, the villagers have never dared to approach easily.

According to the village chief.

They have been guarding the Heavenly Craft Tower for over a thousand years.

But in fact...

With the Martial Force of the people of Heavenly Craft Village.

It probably won't provide any protection.

The Heavenly Craft Tower itself has an extremely strong protection system.

All the villagers of Heavenly Craft Village need to do is regularly visit the control room inside the tower to inspect, maintain, or perform minor repairs on the parts that have worn down over time.

In the history of Heavenly Craft Village.

The array mechanism within the Heavenly Craft Tower has never malfunctioned.

It has been running perfectly all along.

It can be said to be very worry-free.

Roger figured that Black Tiger leaving such a group of men here was just in case.

But he really couldn't imagine Pneumatic Barrier could last for thousands of years without any major flaws.

And the closer you get to the Heavenly Craft Tower.

He could increasingly sense the hidden treasure beneath the unassuming exterior of the low tower! "There's Pneumatic Barrier here..."

"It has a very strong repulsive effect!"

Two hundred meters away from the Heavenly Craft Tower.

Roger suddenly sensed a faint warning sign two steps ahead.

He knew.

Only if I dare to take another step forward.

At least a dozen bamboo knives would pierce through.

The power of this kind of mechanism is generally average.

Only the extraordinary.

But the chain reaction that followed was the most terrifying.

Roger knew it very well.

These mechanisms are mostly composite devices.

Pulling up a radish and bringing out the mud is a basic operation.

It might even trigger the guard mechanism—

A few bald, burly men could pop out of the tower at any moment...

Normally.

Roger might also try to find out more about the mechanism.

But after witnessing the work of Ideas Master.

Roger wisely chose to live a quiet and unassuming life.

The next second.

He took out the Yan Fire Token.

I played around a bit near the Protective Barrier.

Just as he had predicted.

The Yan Fire Token not only grants the authority to open the Falling Goose Palace, but also allows control over the Heavenly Craft Tower.

The moment Roger presented the Yan Fire Token.

A deep voice came from inside the low tower:...

"Yan Fire Token detected..."

"The identity of the new tower master is being confirmed..."

"Welcome, Master of the Heavenly Craft Tower!"

A scraping sound rang out.

Clouds and mist rise from the ground.

In the blink of an eye.

A broad road made of lotus flowers, jade and clouds was laid out in front of Roger.

The design of that avenue is quite interesting.

It was like climbing stairs, step by step.

Under the respectful gaze of the village chief and others.

Roger walked up step by step.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the top of the tower.

There was a small door open for him here.

After entering.

The voice rang out again. "Welcome! New master of the Heavenly Craft Tower!"

"As agreed back then, my mission has been accomplished. Everything in this tower will now be handed over to you. This is a list written by the client himself. Please take a look..."

"Please inspect the assets inside the tower as soon as possible!"

The voice sounded somewhat urgent.

Roger looked closely.

But they discovered a tiny dragon, no bigger than the palm of their hand! The little dragon was quite small.

But its eyes are extremely large.

There was even a pair of rather professional-looking clip-on glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose.

Its scales are a deep blue.

Even though it was dark and gloomy inside the tower.

It also illuminated everything nearby like a fluorescent light.

"Notification: You have encountered 'Book Dragon King Ward' (LV199/Lord/Extraterrestrial Being/ Lord of Knowledge /Truth Seeker/King of Involution/Traitor to the Dragon Clan...)"

Goodness.

This girl looks delicate and frail.

Unexpectedly, the level is a whopping 199?! A near-godlike Lord Template with an even more baffling name.

It gives people a feeling of being impressed but not quite understood.

In addition, there are the many titles it carries.

Roger immediately abandoned his contempt.

"What should I do?"

He asked.

"Here, take the list!"

Ward raised a paw.

A thick booklet flew into Roger's hands.

He opened it and took a look.

The booklet contains detailed records of all the props, technologies, mechanisms, puppets, formations, and so on sealed within the Heavenly Craft Tower.

It includes both a name and a description.

Moreover, the project is very detailed.

They even recorded the quantity and estimated depreciation!

"This is the agreement I signed with that short guy back then."

"That damned dwarf lured me here with a room full of forbidden books, and now I'm just here to guard his estate!"

"Thank goodness you arrived quickly... less than ten thousand years have passed!"

The Book Dragon pushed up his glasses.

He then said with a look of relief:

"I never dared to think about it before—what if the so-called 'next tower master' doesn't appear for another 100,000 years... That would be terrifying, after all, my lifespan might only be a million years!"

Roger: "... Is that so?"

Do you have any questions?

The Dragon of Books seemed quite easy to talk to.

"I mean, you really live a million years?"

Roger looked at the other person with curiosity.

"Of course, and this is the minimum. Oh dear, I can't really say for sure. If you don't believe me, come find me again in a million years and you'll know!"

Ward said casually.

Roger was speechless again.

Although what the little guy said was quite absurd.

But like the Transmigration Warlock.

Roger had an instinctive trust in what they said.

"You come from another universe?"

He asked.

Roger noticed the title "extraterrestrial beings".

"Maybe, I don't know..."

Ward casually pushed up his glasses. "I was tricked into coming here by a special summoning ritual when I was a child. If it weren't for the fact that he does have some interesting books here, I would definitely have broken the contract!"

"But actually, the knowledge I need hasn't been here for hundreds of years. This is a heavy blow to a knowledge-based being, since without knowledge I can't increase my level or lifespan..."

"In short, I have wasted too many years here. Now, I am about to complete my mission. After the handover ceremony, I can return to my hometown..."

If Ward's lifespan is really as exaggerated as he claims, then Roger's lifespan is nothing compared to his.

Roger suddenly lost his sense of superiority.

He also felt that his lifespan was exceptionally short!

"Hurry, hurry! Once you've looked through the list once, you can inspect the items—there are three floors in total, and the top floor is filled with books, which are the most valuable items. It seems to be a library left behind by some large organization, and I spend most of my time here..."

The second layer below.

It only contains some unfinished formations or mechanisms.

As for the lowest level.

"Just some cheap props and some inflexible puppets..."

Ward was very easy to talk to.

But he seemed eager to complete his contract with Black Tiger Master.

Therefore, he kept urging Roger to go and inspect the goods.

Roger could only take stock of the supplies inside the tower at that moment.

Certainly.

He couldn't possibly handle every single detail of such a small matter personally.

After giving the order.

Cindy and the Celestial Sprite swarmed out.

They began to take stock, layer by layer.

Even though the elves had a wealth of experience in inventory, it still took Roger almost a week to inspect the Heavenly Craft Tower.

One week later.

Roger let out a long sigh of relief.

His eyes were filled with joy.

The supplies inside the tower were largely the same as what the Scroll Dragon had described.

The top floor stores a large number of books.

Among them, the most precious and rarest are the books on Pneumatic Barrier Pneumatic Armament, and Pneumatic Formation! These books represent the achievements of the Pingsha School in Mechanism Martial Arts.

Roger was amazed by many of the ideas in the book.

What surprised him even more was...

Most of these seemingly far-fetched ideas have been proven to be feasible!

Some of the semi-finished or finished products below were made by Pingsha School Martial Arts back then.

Later generations can simply follow suit.

Although the Mystra Mechanism Martial Arts have almost been lost to time.

But with these books...

Roger believed that only a portion of Martial Artist should be recruited for the research.

It is certain that the amazing Mechanism Martial Arts will be able to be revived and promoted in a relatively short period of time.

And in the semi-finished and finished products on the second and third floors.

Roger also found many useful things.

For example.

The Nine Heavens Array is inscribed in the three rooms on the east side of the second floor.

This Pneumatic Barrier can cause large buildings to float into the air.

It is an important foundation for constructing the fairy mountain.

There is a floating array on Clear Spring Mountain.

However, compared to the Nine Heavens Array, the floating formation is far inferior in terms of flexibility, endurance, and floating height.

The three formations Roger found were all unactivated, half-finished products.

In terms of practical operation.

He only needs to cut off the original stone from which the formation is inscribed, attach it to the building where he wants to practice levitation according to a specific ritual, and then activate it, and the Nine Heavens Array will take effect.

These three Nine Heavens Array were all prepared for the incredibly heavy immortal mountains.

Therefore, whatever Roger wanted to send into the sky...

Most of them are achievable.

Besides that.

The Nine Heavens Array is also recorded in the collection left by the predecessors of the Pingsha School.

If we can train a master who is proficient in Pneumatic Technology.

Roger could easily replicate the Nine Heavens Array Formation on a large scale!

For example,

A type of puppet called the Zodiac Divine Soldiers.

These Zodiac Divine Soldiers are modeled after various animal images from the twelve zodiac signs. They are essentially pneumatic puppets, but their combat capabilities are extremely powerful.

When the Zodiac Divine Soldiers join forces, they can even summon clouds and rain, and move mountains and seas.

Most importantly.

They can be as big as the Abyss Guardian!

That is, they possess the ability to become gigantic! An Abyss Guardian possesses an extremely terrifying suppressive power.

Roger suddenly had twelve more! This was naturally a cause for great joy for him, who always believed that bigger meant stronger!

Besides the Zodiac Divine Soldiers.

Roger also acquired a large number of pneumatic puppets for various purposes.

This includes giant spirits, imps, mountain gods, water gods, and so on.

These puppets may not be that powerful in combat.

But each has its own advantages.

Most importantly.

As long as there is spiritual energy, they can move! They don't need to eat, nor do they consume any extra energy!

They can be considered the second best working class after the undead!

For example,

Roger also discovered a divine artifact called the Heavenly Secrets Scroll on the first floor of the Heavenly Craft Tower.

It's said to be a magical artifact.

Actually, this thing is badly damaged.

However, the basic functions can still be implemented.

After investigation.

Roger confirmed that the Heavenly Secrets Scroll's function was to deduce all traces of a person's past, future, and present...

Basically, you can find out all the information related to a person! This can be described as an amplified version of the Qi Divination Technique! It's also the ultimate form of divination.

Roger's first reaction upon receiving the Heavenly Secrets Scroll was to confront Constantine.

He remembers it very clearly.

Constantine has a special skill: as long as one of his alchemical artifacts exists in the world, he can be resurrected using that artifact.

This is also the fundamental reason why Roger has hesitated to take action against him.

Now he possesses the Heavenly Secrets Scroll.

Taking down Constantine has become much easier!

Through the Heavenly Secrets Scroll.

He could locate all the alchemical artifacts Constantine created and then destroy them—which created the necessary conditions for killing Constantine.

Certainly.

The Heavenly Secrets Scroll, being such a heaven-defying item, cannot be activated casually without a price.

This thing consumes lifespan! Different goals will consume different amounts of lifespan!

Roger tried to use it to lock onto Constantine, but the data panel showed that it would take at least 200 years of his lifespan to obtain all of Constantine's information!

To be honest.

This data was a bit hard for Roger to handle.

After all, his lifespan was contributed little by little by the turtle.

How could he bear to squander it so carelessly?

Perhaps there are other ways to get rid of Constantine? Therefore, Roger temporarily abandoned his plan to immediately cause trouble for Constantine.

Apart from the Heavenly Secrets Scroll.

Roger also acquired many pneumatic props.

Although most of his things were no longer of use to him.

However, it can fill the sect's inventory.

It can also be used in the future reconstruction of the Pingsha School.

In general.

The accumulation within the Heavenly Craft Tower is extremely rich! It is at least a hundred times richer than what was left behind by the Clear Spring Sect.

The most important of these is the complete and advanced Pneumatic Technology.

Once Roger guides these things into the present world...

This will inevitably trigger a major explosion in Pneumatic Technology! Combined with the major trend of Spiritual Qi Resurgence.

Mystra may be about to usher in a new era of martial arts!

After the acceptance inspection is completed.

The dragon of the scrolls then bid farewell to Roger.

The way he walked was not much different from interdimensional teleportation—a crack appeared beside him, through which Roger could only see a dizzying burst of vibrant colors.

"If you encounter sufficiently rare knowledge in the future, you may try summoning me. I am the Dragon King of the Scroll Dragons. Remember my summoning name—Ward, Lord of Knowledge..."

As he spoke.

The figure of the scroll dragon disappeared into the crack.

Roger tried to use his senses to follow him.

It was cut off by a powerful force not long after.

This left him somewhat disappointed.

"What would happen if I followed him into the rift? How different would it be from traveling between universes or crossing between planes?"

Roger was filled with curiosity.

A bold idea arose in his mind.

Maybe next time.

When sending the Transmigration Warlock away.

You can do a small experiment yourself.
