Chapter 524
524 magic buildings, arcane geometry
When he logged on the next day, Zhao Xu was still yawning, and he looked very sleepy.
Thanks to the huge silver mine near Starfall, there was no lack of basic blasting excavators and large equipment.
Zhao Xu quickly got through Archbishop soz and the person in charge of the mine, lys, and found a person who had been in the construction industry for many years who could act as his Butler for him-rota.
Rota was almost 50 years old, and because she already had a grandson at the place where she got married, she was considered someone with roots in WinterCity.
He was also a believer of the goddess of magic. When he was young, he had received a period of ” magic apprentice ” training because of the mages his ancestors had produced.
However, after six years of hard work, he could not even cast a basic cantrip, so he had to return home to inherit the construction business.
After their conversation during the day, Zhao Xu realized that rota was still obsessed with becoming a wizard. She still couldn’t forget how she couldn’t become a wizard because she didn’t have enough talent.
At his age, it was naturally impossible for him to go back into the furnace and be remade.
So, Zhao Xu promised her on the spot that as long as rota could cooperate with him and complete the construction of the entire wizard Association’s base, he wouldn’t be stingy in recommending her as a ” magic apprentice ” under her name to Mystra.
A fixed number of recommendations every year was also one of the powers of the Presidents of the wizard associations in the local regions.
The original intention was to let them search for talents for the Association, but talents were not common, so it naturally evolved into a reward based on merit.
Rota, who realized the value of this, was naturally overjoyed.
After he thanked Zhao Xu profusely, he paid the ” penalty ” for the recent project he was working on right on the spot. Then, he directly brought the most Elite Construction team under his family’s jurisdiction over to Starfall town.
I’m also the person in charge of the construction this time.
With the arrival of some blasting professionals under lys, the construction of the mage Association’s encampment in Starfall town officially began.
The rumbles, accompanied by the knocking, gradually became the daily rhythm of this area.
Sunders, the architect of the North branch’s residence, also came.
He was in his early forties and had a capable and valiant appearance. The man was wearing a tuxedo and he was standing behind Zhao Xu with an indifferent expression on his face. He was looking at the scene of the house being demolished.
Sunders was a technical talent trained by the North Branch. He was mainly responsible for the design of the wizard Tower.
this time, he had been sent to participate in the design of the ‘association’s base’, which was larger but less difficult. naturally, he was confident.
in fact, the original design had been completed about a month ago. sunders only came here to make adjustments to the design.
The perimeter of the station was separated by fences and canvas. After the division of the areas was clear, the entire construction site was filled with rumbling sounds.
The snow in early spring had yet to melt, and the players who were unable to hunt for monsters on an expedition would also wander to the explosion site from time to time to see if they could activate any missions.
in order to catch up with the progress, a few sub-projects even recruited players to participate in the demolition. they also took off their armor, rolled up their sleeves, and began to do the heavy work.
however, even if these players ‘professional (bricklayer) level was zero, they could work quickly with their high strength and physique attributes, and they did not fall behind at all.
After a day’s time, almost all the players in Starfall town knew that one of the players,’zhongxia’, had arrived and was building the Association’s base.
He watched as all sorts of teams came and went, and as the owner of the house, Zhao Xu just stood there and watched over the work.
It was a stark contrast to the players in front who were carrying the shattered rocks.
They were like two distinct classes.
Mr. Sunders, may I ask why this tower in the center is set up like this? ”
The smart Wang Ningwei followed sunders to Starfall town with the blueprints and asked him questions, as if she was preparing for her dream in her previous life.
When Zhao Xu saw this, he felt a little better.
if wang ningwei continued to act like she understood everything with just a little bit of knowledge, he would have to wonder who the real reincarnated person was.
However, sunders, who had never spoken to Zhao Xu before, was surprisingly friendly to Wang Ningwei. Zhao Xu could even hear sunders imparting his experience and knowledge to Wang Ningwei as if he was pouring his heart out.
This made Zhao Xu, who already had 18 charm points and was already at the top of the game, wonder if the points he added were just for show.
It was just that Wang Ningwei’s passion for learning almost made Zhao Xu think that she was really going to master the craft of this design.
The mage Association’s station and the mage Tower were not so much a residential building as it was more like a device to gather and direct magic energy.
as a result, they could not be like ordinary architectural designs, where they just had to come up with a construction drawing and tell the workers how to build it. at most, they would add the final version of the as-built drawing after the construction.
A Mage Tower was essentially a magic item, so it was similar to those crafting specialties. To design a magic building, the prerequisite was the specialty arcane geometry.
Only those who had simultaneously mastered engineering, mystical knowledge, and dimensional knowledge could build a building that could gather magical energy.
The rooms and walls built by arcane geometry would gather some kind of mysterious power.
Wang Ningwei didn’t care about the dust on the ground and just sat there thinking about the blueprint. Xu Zhao walked up to her and said in a low voice, ” “The prerequisites for arcane geometry are professional (engineering) level 8, knowledge (arcane) level 8, knowledge (plane) level 8, and spellcaster level 9. if you’re interested, i can lend you this book to read.”
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Wang Ningwei’s eyes. She smiled sweetly at Zhao Xu and said, ” thank you. I have the connections and I’ve almost gathered enough skills. It’s just that it’s too difficult to level up the spellcaster.
Then, she continued to look down at the four A3-sized floor plan.
At this moment, rota walked over with her head lowered. President zhongxia, according to the progress of the demolition, as long as there isn’t heavy snow for the next few days, we’ll be able to level all these houses in about three days. After that, we can start to level the land and build the foundation.
once we’ve set up the basic framework, President zhongxia, you can contact the upper echelons of the northern branch and send a professional enchantment team over. Rota said proudly.
It was not that he had not participated in the construction of magic buildings before, it was just that he had not been able to undertake it alone.
This was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, and he was going all out to leave his name on this building that was destined to stand for many years.
It could even become an achievement that could protect the family for many years.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”
Zhao Xu was estimating the progress of the project, and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to leave Starfall town for a while.
However, since he was waiting to become a fifth-circle mage, he was not in a hurry. As long as the building could be completed within four months, he was fine.
After he transmigrated, he would not have the time to visit this place.
...
“Boss,” Suddenly, a strong man from the construction team jogged over and said to rota, ” there’s a natural rock in the site that seems to have grown on the ground since the beginning. We tried to blow it up a few times but it didn’t crack at all.
“What was its original structure like?” rota asked immediately after hearing this.
” it’s just that there’s a wall surrounding him. there’s even a lot of potted plants and soil on top of it to disguise it as a fake mountain. ” The burly man replied.
Rota almost slapped her thigh when she heard this. She was already sighing in her heart that things were not good.
Arthur’s mysteriousness was something that many people couldn’t fully understand even after spending their entire lives.
When the previous residents built their buildings, they would naturally not leave a rock the size of a rockery behind without developing it and moving it away. The fact that the other party could leave it there until the families gave up on it was naturally because he was difficult enough to deal with.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Zhao Xu said.
When rota heard this, she jogged over just like Zhao Xu did. However, she couldn’t help but mumble to herself, ” the thing is, stone to mud and other level 5 spells!
The fifth circle was one circle above Zhao Xu, who was a four-circle wizard.
They seemed to be tightly pressed together, but in reality, they were so close yet so far apart.
Mud to stone, stone to mud, sand to stone, stone to sand, and sand to glass were a series of level 5 spells, and each of them was about 50 cubic meters. For Zhao Xu, who was a level 27 spellcaster, that would be more than a thousand cubic meters.
...
The concrete mixer trucks that Zhao Xu saw often back on Earth could only hold about ten cubic meters of concrete with the back-container.
If he had a spell like turn stone to mud, coupled with his off-the-charts spellcaster level, it wouldn’t be too much to get twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, Zhao Xu quietly reached into the scroll box in his pocket and felt around to make sure that the construction-type earth-type spell scrolls were still there.
“It’s actually this high?”
When they got closer, rota raised her head and looked at the huge rock in front of them, which had already been cleared of all traces of the artificial mountain. She could not help but ask in distress.
There was a reason why the former construction workers of the residential area could not do anything to this natural rock that connected to the earth.
“Boss, we’ve tried at least ten different methods, but we still can’t get rid of this rock. We can’t even leave a crack on it. You said that I’d have to apply for more explosives from you.
Rota’s expression was also conflicted. There was not a single crack between the bottom of the huge rock and the ground. It was as if it was born to stay there.
have the surrounding personnel evacuate this place and rebuild the construction shed. This time, use six tons of earth explosives. rota instructed.
At this time, the players pushing the cart also looked over and observed the commotion.
“If you guys continue to be like this, then don’t even bother with the construction today.”
Zhao Xu gently raised his hand to stop her and said, ” let me do it.
As he spoke, he touched the huge rock that six or seven people couldn’t even hug. Just moving these rocks was almost too painful.
Zhao Xu then gently pressed his palm against the giant rock.
“Soft rock technique.”
