Warhammer Wizard
Chapter 673: Lord of the Obsidian Tower
Darkland.
The sound of slaughter in the cave gradually subsided, and the town under the mage tower was full of corpses, from outside the city gate all the way to the passages in four directions, blood stained the mushrooms in the fields.
The souls of more than 2,000 slaves were all absorbed, and even if a lot of them were consumed by Ren, they gradually rose to more than 23,000 grids.
At this time, Ren's mirror image time was up, and it disappeared into a bubble.
Raistlin's mirror image lasted three minutes longer, opening random doors one after another, allowing teammates to enter, reaching the top hall of the Mage Tower.
Only at this moment did they see the true body of the beholder elder.
Barack circled around the beholder's corpse, his face was full of disgust, he pinched his nose and said, "This thing looks too disgusting!"
Izt smiled and said, "The beholder is already better-looking than ordinary beholders. It has a layer of **** armor, and it doesn't expose greasy skin like ordinary beholders. It has a mouth full of venom, and the smell is not that bad."
"Uh……"
Barack took a few steps away. "However, its strength is very strong, and it has controlled so many slaves. If I were the only one to face it and be besieged by an army of slaves, I would have to run for my life."
"No matter how strong he is, he was easily beheaded by Rennes." Daunthos sighed in admiration.
Athena looked at Raistlin with concern in her eyes.
She knew that Ren had returned to Glamorgan, and the soul contract sensed that Ren had just undergone a soul transformation and was promoted to the legendary high-level, and his strength had risen a lot.
Raistlin nodded slightly to the giantess, reassuring her.
"Now?" Barack asked. "What are we going to do next?"
"Of course it is to control this mage tower."
Raistlin said back and walked to the console in the middle of the hall, stretched out his hand to hold the crystal orb on it, and injected a trace of mana.
Immediately, the control orb was activated, and a message entered his brain.
This information includes a great deal about the Mage Tower, including a tower journal, written in High Elf script.
Raistlin took a quick look.
Sure enough, the creator of the mage tower was not a beholder, but a drow mage called "Kwisathon" who started to build it more than 600 years ago. Kwesason is a nineteenth-level mage. He has been stuck in a bottleneck for over a hundred years, but he has not even mastered the first ninth-level spell, and has not even made any progress.
To be promoted to an archmage requires the construction of three models of 9th-level spells, not even one, let alone three.
This made Kwesasen very desperate for a time.
Later, he accidentally got an ancient book from the Third Era, which originated from the ruins of an elf city in the New World. It records a method, which can help build a spell model through the wizard tower, which not only improves efficiency, but also adds some Success rate.
So Kwesathan looked for a place to build a tower in the upper Underdark, and finally chose this cave.
Building a mage tower is not easy and requires countless resources and manpower.
The resources in the dark area are poor and the struggle is endless. Kwesason is fighting alone again. He widened the cave and spent more than 60 years to collect enough resources to build the main structure of the mage tower bit by bit, and then again. It took 30 years to arrange the rune magic circle in the tower.
Kwesathan named this mage tower "Obsidian Tower".
The size of the Obsidian Tower is half shorter than the normal Mage Tower, only more than 130 meters high, and the internal space is only one-third of the normal Mage Tower.
Even so, it took Kwesasen more than 30 years to complete the arrangement of the magic circle of the Mage Tower.
The biggest problem is the lack of alchemical materials.
Many materials are very scarce in the Underdark, or even not available, and Kwesathan has to go to the surface to collect them, or go to the human kingdom of the Old World to disguise his identity to buy.
After nearly a hundred years of hard work, the rune formation of the Obsidian Tower was only about half completed.
This is where Kwissen's tower journal ends abruptly.
The last piece of information about him was that he went out to collect an important batch of magic alloys, he didn't say where he went, and he never came back anyway.
Raistlin couldn't help sighing to himself when he saw this.
Between the lines of the tower's log, it is revealed that Kwesathan's desire to be promoted to the archmage is a lonely explorer on the magical path. They are ruthless, and they treat the slaves they control as tool people, without any kindness.
What he did was only one goal, and that was to be promoted to the Archmage.
But he failed.
Raistlin guessed that Kwesason had an accident during that outing and was most likely dead. Otherwise, he would never give up the obsidian tower that he had devoted a hundred years of effort to.
After the disappearance of Kwesathan, the Obsidian Tower was silent for more than three hundred and forty years.
Until decades ago, a common beholder broke into the cave and found the unfinished mage tower and took it for himself.
This beholder used the Obsidian Tower to advance to a legend and became an elder beholder.
Then it also enslaved the underground creatures through the Mage Tower, built a slave army, occupied the territory, expanded its power, let the slaves collect resources, and continued to improve the tower. However, the magic knowledge of the beholder elder is far inferior to that of the previous master, and the strength is different by several levels. After decades of tossing, only a few rune magic circles have been completed, and little progress has been made.
The beholder has left numerous records in the tower journal, hundreds of times more than the contents of Kwesathan.
For the most part it touts and praises itself.
Raistlin was speechless when he saw it. He had a profound insight into the beholder's narcissism, so he jumped over and didn't look at it.
In addition to the information of the two tower owners, the log also contains the effect of the magic circle that the Obsidian Tower has arranged, its protective barrier, the spells that can be cast, the functions of each building in the tower, and so on. And, as long as you use the high elf rune to leave a spiritual imprint in this crystal orb, you can become the new owner of the Obsidian Tower.
Raistlin was refreshed.
A mage tower is in sight, and there is no spellcaster in the world who will not be tempted.
Even though Ren's body already has a mage tower, he will not dislike too many mage towers. What's more, the Obsidian Tower is specially built to assist in the construction of the ninth-ring spell model. I don't know the effect yet, so it's worth a try!
Kwesathan never seemed to think that he would lose the Obsidian Tower, and he left a rune magic circle to assist promotion in the crystal orb.
This huge and complex rune magic circle looks very ancient at first glance, and comes from the high elves.
Raistlin judged only by feeling that the magic circle is effective!
Only half of it is completed, and it must be combined with the entire mage tower to start. The alchemy materials needed for the remaining half are about four million gold shields.
This is astronomical wealth to others, and many alchemy materials cannot be bought with money.
But to Raistlin, it was nothing more than a trifle.
With one word from Ren, the materials will be collected in less than two months, and there is no need for anyone else to help lay out the rune formation. Raistlin can do it himself. He performs the mirror image technique once every hour. Twelve mirror images work together, and the work efficiency is doubled. He can also perform the real mirror technique every seven days, and the efficiency is improved again.
Raistlin predicts that he should be able to complete it within half a year!
It takes four million gold shields and half a year to perfect the Obsidian Tower, as long as it can speed up the efficiency of building three ninth-level spells, it is definitely worth it.
"Raislin, is there a problem?"
When everyone saw Raistlin's hand on the crystal orb, many of them didn't speak, and Barack couldn't help asking aloud.
"fine."
Raistlin released his hand and briefly explained the origin of the mage tower to his teammates, but he did not reveal the rune circle that aided in the construction of the ninth-level spell.
"Master Kwesason!" Izzet exclaimed.
"You know him?" Raistlin asked.
"Yes." Izzet nodded lightly and said, "Master Kwisathon, like me, came from the city of Menzoberran, the largest city of the dark elves. He was once the most famous city of Menzoberran. One of the legendary mages of his, with high strength and profound knowledge of magic, no less than an archmage, but he disappeared hundreds of years ago, and he went to the upper floor to build the mages tower."
The dark elf's eyes showed a bit of regret, "The Obsidian Tower has been abandoned for so many years, it can be seen that Master Kwesathan has failed and even died."
Teammates thought so too.
It is absolutely impossible for a spellcaster to give up his mage tower, either because of the loss of freedom or the loss of life.
Raistlin said directly: "I want to control this mage tower."
Before waiting for his teammates to respond, he proposed a method for distributing the spoils, "The Mage Tower is of extremely high value. Once I control it, I will no longer participate in the distribution of other spoils. There is a batch of treasures in the middle-level warehouse of the Obsidian Tower, which are all eyeballs. The gold, alchemy materials, and weapons and equipment collected by the demons through slaves, I use the alchemy materials, and I will share them with you in equivalent gold shields, and I don’t want any magic equipment.”
Izzet, Barack, and Dawnsos looked at each other, vaguely guessing that Raistlin might be hiding some information.
But apart from Raistlin, there was no one better suited to master the Mage Tower.
Only the caster can control the mage tower, and they can only stare blankly. Moreover, the main force who broke the mage tower this time was Ren and Raistlin. They just killed the slave army. They could do it with only the mirror images of Ren and Raistlin, and they didn't need help at all.
Even if Raistlin seized the Mage Tower without consent, they would have nothing to say.
"Can."
Izzet agreed immediately.
Barack and Dawnsos followed suit, and Athena would not have any objection.
Raistlin didn't say much, and immediately pressed his hand on the crystal orb again, condensing it into a line of high elf runes with mana, and chanting the incantation in a low voice, the orb immediately responded, emitting a strange magical light.
The entire obsidian tower trembled slightly, and the rune magic circle inside and outside the tower flowed energy.
Lasted half a minute.
By the time the tower's tremors ceased, Raistlin had become its new owner.
He formed a connection with the crystal orb, and knew the situation of the entire mage tower very well. When he was in the tower, he could mobilize the energy of the tower to cast spells and control all aspects with just a thought.
This crystal orb is not only the control core of the Obsidian Tower, but also a superb magic item.
Through it, the tower owner can release the nine-ring mind control technique, control the mind of the target who is suppressed in the tower, and make it his own slave. Of course, the use of mind control will consume a lot of energy from the tower, and the target's rank must be lower than yourself, and the number is not unlimited.
The stronger the Lord of the Obsidian Tower is, the more slaves he can control.
The beholder elder used the Mage Tower to enslave more than a dozen legendary primary-level slaves and dozens of high-level superhumans. Through these powerful slaves, it controlled more slaves and expanded its territory.
So when the beholder is killed, the mind control fails and the slave army collapses.
"Success?" Athena asked.
"Yeah." Raistlin smiled, "I'm already the owner of this Obsidian Tower." As he spoke, he raised his hand and opened the portal in front of his teammates, "Let's go to the warehouse."
Go through the portal and reach the storage room in the middle of the tower in an instant.
A burst of golden light shone into the eyes, causing everyone to almost dazzle their eyes, then took a deep breath, their faces full of shock.
"Praise the sun!"
Barack shouted loudly.
Izzet and Daunthos were not keen on wealth, but were also shocked by the sight in front of them.
Countless gold piled up in front of him, all of which were smelted into gold nuggets, stacked neatly like a high wall, and it was difficult to estimate the value.
And that's just part of the treasure in the warehouse.
In addition to gold, there are also a large number of magic alloys, mithril, fine gold, meteorite iron, etc., as well as colorful gems and crystals, which are filled with more than a dozen large boxes. More alchemy materials are placed on the shelves, classified into different categories. There are at least hundreds of organs cut from minerals, plants and monsters, which is dazzling.
In addition, there are also pieces of magic equipment, various weapons and armors, wands and wands, jewelry amulets, etc. There are about twenty or thirty pieces.
So much magic equipment put together is very spectacular.
"Oh my God……"
Barack's eyes were straightened, and he couldn't help muttering: "The dragon treasure is nothing more than that, how much are these things worth?"
"About 1.7 million gold shields," Raistlin replied.
His teammates cast surprised glances, and he explained: "This beholder has a hobby of collecting treasures. He will count it every day and record it in the tower log. It has collected decades of wealth, most of which are here~www .wuxiaspot.com~ Only a very small portion is used to build the mage tower."
There were other words that Raistlin didn't say.
Don't look at the wealth of these treasures, in fact, the most valuable are gold, gems and alchemy materials. The quality of those magic equipment is very average, not even an epic level.
In the Underdark, magic items are the scarcest things, and epic gear doesn't fall into the hands of beholders.
Therefore, it did not have a luxurious equipment in the previous battle.
However, the wealth of 1.7 million gold shields should not be underestimated.
After being surprised, Izzet and Daunthos quickly regained their composure, but Barack almost couldn't move his eyes. Even if he was a legendary high-level superhuman, he had never seen so much wealth in his life.
The Holy Lance Ranger looked at Raistlin, and asked with a slightly awkward expression, "Raislin, do you think these treasures are shared equally among us?"
