Dark incantations echoed in the air as numerous silver-white ancient runes appeared in midair. "Buff," "Protection," "Curse," and "Instant Death." My dark castle was actually protected by the light, which was so frightening that most people would drop their glasses … that is, if the undead had glasses.
Yongye City was a floating city with a total area of twenty-one square kilometers. Just looking at its size, it could only be counted as a medium-sized city. However, it had alchemy laboratories, potion laboratories, mage towers, and other facilities. This city had been constructed according to the most basic functions of the Cloud Tower.
This city had a total population of three … me, Harloys, War, and if you counted a certain Goddess, that would count as four people. That was because Yongye City was located in my personal world, which was a part of the Hades. The aura of death here wasn't something that ordinary people could withstand.
What I was most proud of was the total cost of constructing this tower: 5000 gold coins!
Yep, that's right. It wasn't 50 million gold coins, nor was it 5000 platinum coins. It was 5000 gold coins!
"… It's so nice to have so many friends. Everyone here is a good person who loves to help others. "
"Actually, there's probably no one more shameless than you. Are you certain that those people won't chase you to the ends of the earth? "
"Heh heh, can't you see that I haven't shown myself yet? Find me first. "
Yongye City's foundation was a floating city that the Wind Elemental God had stolen from the Winged Tribe. The main tower was Aso's mage tower in the Cloud Tower. The secondary tower was partially a Soul Tower that Aso had created himself, and the other was Harloys and Amelia's inheritance. As for the laboratories and other main facilities, they were all stolen from some friendly mage organization … er, rented for free for a long period of time.
Yongye City's large area, numerous victims, and high-level robberies had broken all records in history. This was also the reason why the bounty on a certain person's bounty list kept increasing exponentially. It was said that after a certain person left, the maps of the Cloud Tower and the Xiluo Empire's mage districts were completely redrawn. Similar angry roars kept echoing in the wind.
"Roland, you'll die a horrible death! You … not only did you steal some scrolls and casting materials, you actually stole my residence and mage tower! "
It was difficult for the bystanders to understand why those famous archmages, great liches, and great sages would shed tears without a care for their image. Some even knelt down and roared angrily at the sky. However, at least the name Roland had become the nightmare and public enemy of all spellcasters.
Cough, let's not talk about those annoying things anymore. It was their fault for setting up so many magical traps and mechanisms. Since I couldn't open them, I might as well just take my home with me … Cough, cough, getting back to the main topic, how could a mage not have a mage tower? After I finished dealing with those troublesome matters, I also wanted to create a small mobile home for myself.
Since this was my first Mage Tower, I naturally wouldn't use random parts to fill it up. If I was going to make it, I would do it all in one go! If he was going to snatch, he would snatch the best!
"Magic Library? And a large-scale Star Chess Deduction Platform? "
"Marguerite … a certain saint gifted it to me. Anyway, she won't have time to read for a long time, so I'll help her digest it. "
"An observatory and a giant constellation?"
"The Church of the God of Fate gifted it to me. What a kind person. At any rate, their True Gods have entered the Hades, so they won't be able to divine fate by observing the stars in the future. "
"… Are you sure that directly driving a Cloud Tower and taking away the Church's main observatory was a gift? Are you sure that those Puzzle Knight (the God of Fate's Holy Temple Knight) who's been frantically searching for you are here to thank you? Do you dare to meet the God of Fate himself? "
"Of course … I don't dare. Hey, weren't you the one who strongly requested for a good observatory? My divination magic is terrible. If it weren't for the fact that you needed to see the stars, I wouldn't have needed such a high-level observatory, would I? If I'm the main culprit, then you're the accomplice! "
The silly cat instantly fell silent. She then changed the topic to the tallest secondary tower in the city.
"Soul Summoning Tower? That was indeed gifted to me by Reinhardt of the Xiluo Empire. It's a gigantic Soul Summoning Tower that's more than three hundred meters tall. A single soul summoning spell can probably destroy a country-level graveyard. He actually gifted such a country-level strategic equipment to you to play with. He must really dote on you. "
"What do you mean dote on me? This is my personal charisma! Little Reinhardt respects and trusts me. He believes that giving this tower to me will make it even more useful. This is trust! Do you understand? "
"Trust? What about this Holy Light shield? You took away the entire St. Levente Cathedral. How did you manage to establish a relationship of trust with the pope? And that ancient Tree of Life, if I'm not mistaken, belongs to the wood elves. "
Back in the day, the ancient Cloud Tower that I purchased from my System was only a model. However, the tower's actual abilities far surpassed the blueprints. That was because every single component of this mage tower was the best in the world.
And now, even though I was facing off against another Undead Emperor's official army, I felt incredibly safe and comfortable as I calmly cast spells in this sturdy mage city.
Conservation sent out three more long-range attacks, but they were all blocked by Yongye City's defenses. The outer runic defenses didn't even waver in the slightest. Seeing that she was unable to achieve any tangible results, she unhesitatingly gave up on attacking.
Currently, the glorious Holy Light runes came from the Holy Church's "friendly gift" to the Holy Church's Holy Relic Storage Hall. With the support of the Holy Church's kind-hearted people, this defensive barrier was made purely of Holy Light. It was incredibly effective against undead magic, especially negative energy damage.
* Boom! *
Conservation's ambush failed yet again. It would seem that I wouldn't have to worry about long-range attacks for the time being.
Although the Cloud Tower was small, it was complete. This Cloud Tower was definitely the most practical mage tower in the entire world. It was all thanks to the kind-hearted people here. Thank you, my old friends!
"Heh heh, actually, according to ancient customs, after the mage tower is completed, we should invite those who helped to build it as well as your friends to witness the ceremony. At the very least, we should drink some champagne and set off some fireworks."
"… Are you certain that you really invited them, that they didn't drink my blood, and that I wasn't the one tied to the fireworks and sent to the heavens?"
I casually responded to the silly cat's teasing. Actually, she had helped to build this mage tower as well. Many "kind-hearted" people's information had been provided by her. She definitely wouldn't have a good time if I had been captured.
Not a single mage would be able to resist the temptation of a mage tower. After all, it was common knowledge in the magical world that only a mage with a mage tower would be a true mage. A mage would be able to fight against the Gods in a mage tower. A mage without a mage tower would be nothing more than a coolie, living out in the open. Even a small thief would be able to steal their wallet and life.
The usefulness of a mage tower was self-evident. A mage tower was no longer just a residence for researching magic. It was a fortress on the battlefield that allowed mages to cast spells without worry. It was also a magical stone that allowed mages to truly use 3000% of their combat power.
"Tactical super magic replenishment, counting down, three, two …"
Tactical super magic had always been criticized by many people. Tactical super magic was only useful for expanding the effective area of a spell that had a limited area of effect. If one wanted to increase the spell's area of effect, they would also need to use other super magic spells. On a small-scale battlefield, tactical super magic spells were often costly and ineffective.
However, on a large-scale battlefield, tactical super magic spells could transform ordinary small spells into trump cards that could change the balance of power on the battlefield.
"… Number one, activate tactical super magic spell: Ice Wall!"
I swiped my finger on the map I created, and a simulated ice wall appeared on the map. Meanwhile, many mage towers outside of Yongye City lit up, and a snow-white light gathered on them. Finally, all the white light gathered at one point, accumulated, sharpened, and then shot out a white torrent.
Snow-white ice flowers floated in the sky. The undead army that wasn't afraid of the cold forcefully broke through the ice wall. However, wherever the white torrent passed through, an ice wall that was five or six meters tall suddenly appeared!
Finally, when the white torrent disappeared on the other side of the map, Yongye City's energy reserves had been reduced by 7%. Meanwhile, a wall of ice and snow had appeared in front of the undead army.
Blue and green soul lights flashed in the undead's empty eye sockets. Their master had ordered them to forcefully break through the ice wall.
It seemed that this was indeed the correct decision. After all, the undead weren't afraid of the cold, and the ice wall itself didn't have any damage abilities. As long as the undead could pass through the ice wall, they would be able to break through.
Many undead were on guard as they stared at the ice wall in the sky. However, to everyone's astonishment, the ice wall didn't attack.
But soon, a strange change occurred for the undead that were trying to forcefully climb the ice wall. They moved slower and slower until their bodies were frozen solid, and even their soul fires were frozen solid.
These undead included low-level skeleton soldiers, as well as high-level liches and Death Knight. However, it didn't matter how long they were frozen solid.
The high-level undead, who were supposed to be terrifyingly resistant to ice, actually had their souls frozen together with them. This abnormal scene caused all intelligent undead to feel fear.
"Are they stupid? They actually dared to touch my ice magic creation, and even stayed on top of it for so long."
The Hibernation Chill was a passive ability of my Ice Magic. When they came into contact with the ice wall, the Hibernation Chill attached to the ice wall would silently wrap around them, slowing down their senses and finally putting them to eternal sleep.
Of course, I wouldn't be so foolish as to be like those retarded villains. Even though I clearly had the upper hand, I would still go into chatty mode and explain my abilities and weaknesses to my opponent, causing my opponent to die in confusion. That would be the true definition of evil.
Just as I was preparing my second spell, Conservation's counterattack came.
