During the most glorious period of the Arcane Empire, large riddles were not only used for defense, but also for attack. There was a period of time when the highest defense command of the high elves' riddles was, "If a true dragon enters the range, automatically release the stored high-level spell sequence to attack the target."
During that period, the dragons ran amok in the multiverse, and the high elves were barely surviving under their influence.
The elves and the arcanists had basically the same definition of Enigma. It was a masterpiece of high-level magic skills, woven with magical energy. It was a powerful enchantment that covered an extremely wide area. It had a simple consciousness of its own, and it was a permanent enchantment or domain created by legendary spells.
There were four main functions of riddles.
The first was a protective enchantment. The riddles had a powerful protective enchantment, which was used to protect the area inside the riddles from outside the riddles.
The second was a spell enchantment. This spell enchantment could be activated or deactivated automatically, and the target could be chosen. However, this spell usually would not be activated continuously, after all, the magic consumption was too high. The riddles created by the ancient high elves could be activated for a long time because they once controlled a spell energy source. The riddles created by the arcanists had this effect after they had the Mise Energy Core.
The third was a forbidden spell. Within the range of the riddles, you could not use spells that were forbidden by the riddles. This was actually equivalent to a ban on magic.
The fourth was a spell sequence. This was a spell that was stored in the riddles in advance. The spell could be activated by using specific gestures or specific words. There was no limit to the number of times the spell could be activated. Of course, the maker of the riddles could limit the number of times it could be activated to reduce the cost of the effect. There was a limit to the number of times the spell could be used, and it could only be activated a few times in 24 hours.
The fifth was a permanent effect. This effect could not be directly described by a spell. It could only be divided into three levels. The primary effect was equivalent to a level one to level three spell or a low-level magical item. The intermediate effect was equivalent to a level four to level six spell or a mid-level magical item. The advanced effect was equivalent to a level seven to level nine spell or a high-level magical item.
Hathaway had more or less mastered the puzzle technology, but it was still a bit difficult to make a complete puzzle. Making a puzzle required the cooperation of several legendary wizards. It was too much work to do with just one legendary wizard.
Hathaway was the only legendary wizard in Northern Battlefront City. She would have to take it slow. There were a few grand wizards in Northern Battlefront City, but other than Alex, Karina, and Grace were all more inclined towards becoming legendary wizards. It would not be easy for them to become legendary wizards. As for the succubus Chrissy, she was also a wizard, so there was no hope for her.
Just like Hathaway, Alex was a wizard and a sorcerer. However, compared to Hathaway, Alex's knowledge was not as solid. After all, she lived in the underground world and had little contact with the outside world. All her knowledge was inherited from her bloodline. It was only after she came to Northern Town City that she began to systematically learn all kinds of spells. If she wanted to master the riddle-weaving technique, she would have to wait until she became a legendary wizard.
There was a special legendary spell for riddle-weaving. This spell needed to be made according to one's own ideas.
The High Elves had far more talent than humans, but they still could not avoid the fate of decline. Their bloodline ability began to degenerate for unknown reasons. The former Elven Empire also fell apart. When the Elven Empire declined, humans began to rise.
Before the rise of humans, the languages needed to cast spells were the ancient Elven language, Dragon language, Celestial language, Demon language, and so on. However, after generations of human sages, they finally succeeded in replacing them with human language. It was these people who started the glory of human magic, the era of the Arcane Empire.
Hathaway did not make a puzzle after she mastered the method of making one. After all, making a puzzle was a huge project, and it required the cooperation of many legendary wizards. The riddles built by the ancient arcanists were all built by a large number of arcanists.
If it was a small puzzle that only covered a range of one or two hundred meters, Hathaway could still build it with some time. However, the Northwind Tower was going to be upgraded into a Floating-Space Tower and a Floating-Space City. Such a small puzzle was naturally not suitable.
Hathaway temporarily put the puzzle making on hold and began to study some other information brought back by Suhlen — Elemental Fission and Elemental Fusion. The earliest research on this technology was in the early days of the Arcane Empire. At that time, the arcanists wanted to find a way to provide more energy sources. This technology brought about a new energy core, the Elemental Furnace.
The energy provided by the Elemental Furnace was hundreds or even thousands of times more than the energy provided by the Elemental Pool of the same volume. However, this technology was soon replaced by a new technology, the Mise Energy Nucleus.
The Mise Energy Nucleus could provide a huge amount of energy in a clean and stable manner, even more than the energy provided by Elemental Fission. Thus, the Elemental Furnace technology was sealed. The Mise Energy Nucleus made the glorious era of the Arcane Empire. However, the Mise Energy Nucleus technology was mastered by the great arcanists, and it involved the gods.
The Mise Energy Nucleus required the help of the Magic Net to obtain almost endless energy. After the Arcane Empire and the gods went to war, this kind of thing was naturally not made anymore. After that, the arcanists dug out the technology of Elemental Fission and Elemental Fusion from the pile of old papers. They wanted to make a more powerful Elemental Furnace to replace the Mise Energy Nucleus.
The theoretical knowledge of Elemental Fission had been around for a long time, but it was very difficult to turn the theory into reality. It was not difficult to detonate the energy all at once, but it was difficult to control the energy and release it steadily and continuously.
If one was not careful and released it too quickly, it would no longer be an Elemental Furnace. It would be a catastrophe. It would be easy to destroy a city, so one had to be very careful. Elemental Fusion was more difficult than Elemental Fission, and the energy released was thousands of times more than Elemental Fission.
If Elemental Fusion was successfully mastered and the Elemental Furnace for Elemental Fusion was made, the energy core for building a large Floating City would be directly solved. Elemental Fusion had many advantages compared to Elemental Fission. Elemental Fusion was almost pollution-free, while Elemental Fission had strong radiation pollution.
However, the difficulty of achieving Elemental Fusion was not ordinary. With the current technical reserves of the North Wind Tower, there was still a long way to go before they could master Elemental Fusion.
In addition to the Elemental Furnace technology, Hathaway began to try to repair the high-grade legendary Golem Suhlen brought back from the desert ruins.
The strongest Golem in the North Wind Tower was the Steel Golem, which was seriously inconsistent with the identity of a legendary Wizard. If a legendary Wizard did not have a few legendary Golems, he would be embarrassed to go out and say hello to others. In addition to the precious materials to make a legendary Golem, legendary soul crystals were also needed as the soul core of the Golem. Suhlen still had a few pieces of legendary soul crystals, which were enough to make a few legendary Golems.
Making a legendary Golem required a lot of materials, including a lot of precious metals. If the North Wind Tower did not control the underground world and had a lot of mineral support, they would have gone bankrupt long ago. A Stone Golem cost 100,000 Kinnar, an Obsidian Gargoyle cost 150,000 Kinnar, and a Steel Golem cost 500,000 Kinnar. As for the Legendary Golem, Suhlen estimated that it would cost 3 to 5 million Kinnar.
Even Suhlen felt a little pained at this price. As the saying went, a powerful Wizard's power was like throwing money at people.
North Wind Tower, Astrology Platform.
Suhlen and Hathaway were researching the Elemental Furnace together. They had long mastered the theory of Elemental Fission, and now the two were trying to design the blueprint of an Elemental Fission energy core.
Suddenly, Milky Way's voice could be heard. "Master! Madam Chris has something important to report to you! "
"Let her in!" Suhlen said without raising his head.
"Yes, master!"
As soon as the voice fell, the tightly shut door of the laboratory slowly opened, and the little succubus Chris walked in.
"What happened, Chris?" Suhlen put down his notebook and got up to greet her.
"Master, I just received news that the gray dwarves found a gold mine when they were exploring. There's adamantine inside!" Chris said excitedly.
"Adamantine!" Su Lun's eyes lit up. It turned out to be a fine gold ore, which was no less valuable than mithril. Part of the fine gold used in the North Town City was Su Lun's reward, and the other part was purchased with money. The quantity was seriously insufficient. He didn't expect to find a fine gold ore this time. The underground world was rich in resources.
"Hathaway, I have something to do, so I have to leave! You'll have to design the Elemental Fission yourself! "Suhlen said as he turned around.
"Go. I can finish the blueprint by myself!" Hathaway said without raising her head.
Suhlen put away the documents and left the laboratory with Chris.
"Did you calculate the amount of gold you found?" Suhlen asked.
"Not yet. According to the gray dwarves who found the gold mine, the area around the gold mine is occupied by other monsters. They can't get too close." Chris did not know much. When she heard that adamantine had been found, she immediately came to tell Suhlen.
"A while ago, there was a small earthquake in the underground world, but it didn't cause too many casualties. Only some of the mines collapsed, and there weren't many casualties. However, after the earthquake, we found a new tunnel. The gold mine was found in the underground cave behind the tunnel."
