Chen Ang's deeper exploration of golems and alchemy came at the cost of the orcs who lost part of their biological characteristics. They lost most of their ability to think, a small part of their organs and tissues, and were replaced by brain golems and mechanical constructs. They lost some insignificant things in exchange for resistance to most spells and even more amazing destructive power.
The evolution of a warrior's body was much slower than the transformation. The cultivation of a Mage was also much slower than the creation of golems. The former required time, and the latter required resources, which was money.
A large part of the deciding factor for the Beastmen's transformation was the cost. That was why they had no choice but to accept the gnome's engineering and mechanical construction. They were very powerful, sturdy, and extremely destructive. Their only weakness was that they were somewhat unstable. In layman terms, they could explode!
Chen Ang's solution to this problem was very simple. If he could not change the goblins, he would change the orcs. He asked Halast for a copy of the lich's information, fixed the effect of the teleportation spell on the brain golems, and then strengthened their skulls to reduce the cost of the explosion to an acceptable level.
After the explosion or attack, the brain golems would be teleported into a incubator and kept safe. Then, they would only need to repair the orc's transformed body before they could be used again. Healing spells and restoration spells could restore the orcs' physical condition, and the cost was low. Chen Ang was even considering whether he needed to create a troll golem.
Halast thought that the orcs were no longer living creatures and should be regarded as half-undead golems, but Chen Ang proved that he retained the greatest characteristics of the orcs — survival and reproduction.
The Ley Maze City that Halast built was connected to the underground world from the underground of Waterdeep City using the underground hall left behind by the dwarves. The naturally formed underground cavity was very deep and huge. On this basis, the underground creatures that Halast enslaved continued to expand and excavate the maze city for thousands of years.
In the end, it formed nearly twenty floors. There were countless layers of the underground city system.
Halast poured all his madness and obsession as a Mage into this place. Like Chen Ang, they both had the romance of researchers, the unearthing of endless truth and the exploration of the supreme throne of knowledge. In the palace of magic, their goal had always been the brightest pearl. This place was filled with his strange magic creations and magic experiments.
Chen Ang's experiments at least had order, rules, and connections. Chen Ang also knew what kind of domain he was exploring. His experiments were exquisite and accurate. He always knew what he needed and had a clear goal. However, not everyone was like that. Chen Ang regarded magic as a science and used it to understand and explore the world, but some people regarded it as an art and were obsessed with exploring magic itself.
Erwin and the others thought that Chen Ang was as crazy and powerful as Halrast, but what Chen Ang showed was both the focus of a researcher and the calmness that was different from Halrast.
Crazy and calm. Science and art, but the extreme self-expression.
Terra Vein Maze City was a bigger city than Deepwater City. The residents here included all kinds of monsters, underground races, and magic experiments. These monsters were so dangerous that Deepwater City had always tolerated and feared the Mad Magician.
Because once the monsters in Terra Vein Maze City surged out of the ground, the prosperous city of Deepwater City would inevitably turn into a demonic domain.
Chen Ang expanded the Devil Addiction Army into the Underground Abyss as a countermeasure. But they were closely connected and integrated with Terra Vein Maze City. Hot red magma spewed out of the ground, along the magic network that Chen Ang had opened and designed. It surrounded the abyss and Maze City. This was also the source of food for the large number of evil armies that he raised.
Moss and fungi.
Of course, Chen Ang also considered the source of food for those carnivores. After all, most evil creatures were not as cheap as the goblins. They wanted to eat meat!
So the goblins, whose minds had been destroyed by the Demon Addiction Legion, came in handy. Chen Ang modified their bodies so that they could easily become fat, reproduce quickly, and maintain the intelligence of plants. Of course, they also retained the reproduction ability of goblins like rabbits. Most importantly, the modification was the smelly, disgusting meat.
The results were very optimistic. The ogres said that it tasted like chicken and was crispy! It tasted better if it was roasted with fire.
Even so, the ecology of the evil creatures in the underground abyss was already fragile to a critical point. So, Chen Ang had to slightly relax the experimental control of the ogre wizards and goblin mages, so that the population would be consumed more quickly. The failed products of the experiments were usually not wasted. Goblins also liked to eat meat!
In order to alleviate this environment of food shortage, the goblins exerted their subjective initiative to a great extent. Although they said that it was for the great cause of their master, it was more likely that they were experimental subjects. After all, the ogres' experiments were a little too crazy. They learned their crafts well, and they also learned engineering and craftsmanship well.
They built a small industrial area in the underground, and a large number of craftsmanship products supported the business and expansion of the Bloodhand Gang in Deepwater City. For this, they had to learn brewing, weaving, weaving, and carpentry. When Chen Ang took stock of the city in the underground abyss, he even found a large ship that was half-built.
It was said that it was sold to the smugglers in Skull Harbor!
After the abyss and Maze City merged, Chen Ang's research work expanded rapidly. Halast quickly obtained limited freedom, and with irreplaceable advantages, he became Chen Ang's chief assistant and helped Chen Ang control the entire Maze City.
Halast stood in front of the core wizard tower, seemingly feeling a little emotional. He gently stroked the stone walls of the tower. A wizard tower was another life of a wizard. It was the most important existence. Even in death, he did not want future generations to touch it. Although he was not dead, the wizard tower no longer belonged to him!
He could feel the tower spirit's resistance to him. Although it was still the wizard tower that he had built bit by bit, he did not know when it had been completely controlled by Chen Ang.
"How can you do this, my lord?" My lord? "Harast shook his head in a daze and asked curiously.
Chen Ang ordered the tower spirit to open the forbidden door. Halast saw the two extremely dangerous blade golems at the door and moved aside, revealing the simple door behind him. Chen Ang led him into the wizard tower and said, "You should not ask why, but how! As long as you have enough time, you can do it too. "
"Research, hypotheses, examples, experiments, repetition, summary …" Chen Ang paused and looked back. "Isn't the solution to a problem like this? The path to the end is different, but the direction is always similar. "
In essence, a wizard tower was a magic item that looked like a building. The design purpose and structure of the building was to gather magic. The shape of the tower, the tall and upright structure, was to meet this purpose.
Mages or the builders of the wizard tower could establish a connection between the tower and the master of the tower, so that the magic of the two could flow and gather the surrounding magic into the wizard tower. In many ways, the wizard tower was not so much a residential building as a gathering and channeling device for magic energy.
Halast could still vaguely recognize the familiar arcane geometric structure, but most of the structure had changed beyond recognition. He could feel the resistance of this wizard tower to him, as if he was facing a strange mage. It was a strange magic that flowed in this place.
Halast had to admit that at least in architectural engineering, he was far from Chen Ang. A more reasonable spatial structure, more professional stress design, and those extremely imaginative structural designs were all things that he could not complete. Some of the designs were even difficult for him to understand.
In terms of arcane spells, Chen Ang retained most of the magic flow and spell structure, and only adjusted the core. But Halast could see that this was still an incomplete framework. The reason why Chen Ang did not optimize the spell structure was only to leave room for modification and reconstruction.
