Chapter 731 Multiple Casting
The construction of the railway station is relatively slow. At present, the railway has just walked out of the forest outside Elsen City. After the temperature drops, workers slowed down. If it snows, Camilla plans to suspend construction first to avoid danger.
However, even so, the goods and caravans that were commuting still made Elson's fiscal revenue more than a dozen times like a volcanic eruption. Including the precious materials traded from the Tasman Kingdom, Elson City can now be called "rich and rich"!
This grand scene was something Camilla had never thought of before. However, reality was like a dream, which made it difficult for her, the "guardian", to adapt.
At this time, the "magic exchange meeting" is approaching, and all kinds of mages flock into the city every day. While the entire Elson City is lively, many crises are gradually hidden. However, because of the existence of the "Elson CIA", the various information summarized every day is enough to allow Camilla to systematically control the current security situation in the city.
Only by truly experiencing the wonderfulness of it can Camilla admire Roddy's foresight - the existence of the "CIA" is really like a pair of eyes, allowing her to clearly see the current situation.
After finishing all the tasks, she finally had some free time, but she would always sit on the central floating tower, staring at the horizon at the end of her vision in a daze.
Logically speaking, Roddy should have arrived on the southern coast now, but why is there still no news?
Camilla unconsciously imitated Roddy's appearance as she sat here. She shook her calves gently and hummed a song that only she could hear at a height of 400 meters - "No matter what, no faith is good faith."
In the song floating in the sky, the mages from the eastern part of the kingdom looked up at the floating tower above the sky, trying to hide their inner shock, and walked into Elson's city gate.
The prelude to the "Magic Exchange Conference" slowly opened.
*******
November 21.
Perhaps because of the luck, the returning fleet traveled with the wind most of the time. The speed was much faster than originally expected, and five days in advance saw the land still faintly in sight.
Although he was about to dock, Roddy knew that the fleet would have to sail at least half a day before he could reach it. So he continued to study a new trick he accidentally discovered in his room these days: "Multiple casting".
The so-called "multiple" mainly lies in his extended "magic tentacles" - because Roddy found that these tentacles could actually replace his arms and fingers, and cast spells with spells, and the power of the final formed spell is not bad at all!
This discovery opened the door to the new world: he could control ten tentacles himself. Does this mean that he could release multiple identical spells at the same time?
As a result, after trying for a long time, he found it difficult to use it in one go. Not to mention ten tentacles, it was difficult to control two to cast spells at the same time...
Moreover, when casting spells with slightly higher levels, it is difficult for tentacles to completely imitate the casting gesture of the fingers, and the probability of failure increases sharply - but one thing is certain that through continuous practice, the success rate of casting is constantly improving.
For Roddy, casting a tentacle can increase his combat power by another level. After all, when shooting with a bow and arrow with all its strength, the support provided by the tentacle is very important: even if Roddy only uses the tentacle to activate the defense props, his survivability can be said to be essentially different from the past.
Not to mention the tentacles use weapons or even control bows and arrows alone - but Roddy cannot practice this idea for the time being, because he found that although the tentacles can hold bows, their strength is far less than that of his arms, and he cannot pull the terrifying keel bow with a terrible pound count. Perhaps it is more appropriate to replace it with a poisoned crossbow? Roddy has many ideas, but they all need to return to Elson City before they can be practiced slowly.
Just as his magic was about to be exhausted, the door was knocked. Roddy opened the door directly with his tentacles and found that the tightly wrapped Taoris stood outside.
"Come in and talk."
There is also a wizard on the ship, so Taoris is basically stuck in the cabin with Evely these days and dare not come out. Today, he suddenly took the risk to come to find him, which surprised Roddy. However, the other party is now his subordinate, so he must be concerned: "Why, I am not very comfortable in the cabin?"
“No, no…”
Taoris looked a little nervous and frightened. She took off the scarf covering her face and pretended to kneel down. Roddy didn't have this habit and directly let her sit on the chair next to her: "If you have something to say, you don't have to do those messy etiquettes to me."
This attitude relieved Taoris's nervous expression a little. She hesitated for a moment and finally said happily: "Master, I think Evely can help Master Sylvia, but I am not good at that kind of magic array technology... Well, I mean, I want to help you - it's good in any aspect, even if you are a maid..."
This is Taoris' worry: the successful development of the "aircraft" has an inseparable relationship with Evely. This obviously means that she has a place under Roddy's men. In contrast, Taoris is like a casual meal. Roddy has not had any conversation with her for so many days. Now that the destination is approaching, Taoris, who is full of crisis, can no longer hold back and finally muster up the courage to come and ask this question.
Roddy laughed silently at this. It was not that he deliberately left Taoris, but that he was busy studying the issue of tentacle casting and forgot the magician who was good at the spiritual system.
"Maid? Elson is not as generous as a maid." Roddy wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but Taoreus became even more nervous and even sweaty on his forehead. He realized that the other party was really afraid of him, so he stopped talking and said seriously: "Let's relax. Since you are willing to be loyal to me, I will naturally arrange the position according to your ability. You are good at spiritual spells and have strong strength, so I temporarily consider arranging you into the field department of the 'Elson CIA' to be responsible for the screening of front-line intelligence."
"Information Bureau? Field Department?"
Taoris looked confused and didn't understand what it was, but no matter what, it at least showed that Roddy did not intend to throw her aside. A stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she hurriedly expressed: "No matter what, I will listen to the master."
After Taoris left with relief, Roddy stood up and walked to the deck. He happened to see Houdini, who was meditating with closed eyes in the sea. He looked at him curiously, and the latter sensed his gaze, ended his meditation, turned his head and said, "I tried to explore the ruins at the bottom of the sea and saw something else."
"Hmm? Are there new discoveries?"
Roddy realized that Houdini's attainment in "prophecy" had already reached a new level, so he was quite curious about what the other party saw.
"That deep pit... is the location of the magic tower that Master Sylvia said." Houdini made a gesture, "My exploration was always blocked on the surface of this deep cave. Now I try to detect it downwards and find something at the bottom of this deep cave...."
"Architect? Or something alive?"
Roddy frowned. This magic tower involved important issues in energy recovery. If possible, he was indeed willing to study it.
"I originally thought it was some kind of monster..." Houdini saw Roddy's face change and quickly waved his hand: "It's not the kind you encountered in Duriel City. I mean there is energy reaction fluctuation under the deep hole. But I observed it carefully for a long time and found that this energy was actually a sealed existence and did not have the rhythm that creatures had. I think... maybe it was some kind of magic circle protected."
“I can’t see more specific things?”
"I can't see, the barrier is too thick and too blurry, so I can't give more detailed information."
Although Houdini only gave a very vague concept, Roddy was very interested in it. He stood on the deck and discussed various possibilities with him for a long time, and even called Sylvia over to make a judgment. However, in the end, there was still no way to draw a conclusion. He could only send a fishman to further investigate when the time was right.
The disappearance of Kardgar's magic tower is not a trivial matter, and no one knows what he left behind until now. The problem of using tidal charging ended in failure, which made Roddy feel a little itchy - he is a typical example of being greedy and wishing he could completely solve all energy problems now.
After all this struggle, the fleet finally arrived at the coast of the southern part of Iversa. What surprised Roddy was that after three months of leaving, the original wasteland in front of him had already had the most basic prototype of the port!
The land was flattened by arcane puppets, and the wooden houses were built in seven or eight rows, which was more than enough to accommodate a thousand people. The transport carts that had been prepared were placed in four or five rows on the open space, and groups of pack horses were eating the forage... Looking into the distance, a "road" extended outward from the port to the end of the field of view, which clearly connected to the main road of Elsen City.
This was far beyond Roddy's expectations, and the port in front of him was still under construction. With the help of "hawkeye", he also saw cavalry and infantry holding weapons, standing guard or patrolling at the port, and a row of heads were inserted next to the road further away. It was probably left by the bandits who had originally tried to rob.
In an orderly and prosperous manner. Roddy looked at the inconspicuous port in front of him with satisfaction, and suddenly spoke: "One day, this place will become the center of the world."
The crew of the "Polartini" felt ridiculous after hearing this: Compared with the City of Duriel, the place in front of him can't be called a "port", it's just a hasty "small dock"!
