Chapter 260 Construction of the Laboratory
The laboratory building is on the top of the mountain. Although there are still a large number of monsters on the top of the mountain due to the high terrain, there are no high-level monsters here, and the highest-level ones are just a group of cold eagles.
These cold eagles were initially dissatisfied with the arrival of the mage, but after dying their companions, they acquiesced to the mage to station here and stay for a long time, while they moved a little distance to the foot of the mountain.
Since there was no complete road, the mage's speed of progress slowed down after reaching the mountainside, and it was not until the next day that he reached the top of the mountain. The top was bare and there were no trees. The mage stood in front of a huge stone, where he chanted spells. The spells chanted in full ancient magic language were very short. Although doing so would consume more mental and magic power, for the mage, this could increase the level of mastery of ancient magic.
After a spell ended, a low sound of mechanism suddenly came from the huge stone. Then a stone left its original position under the action of spell, leaving a dark cave as thick as two people on the spot. After detecting that there was no abnormal object in the cave, the mage jumped in without hesitation, and then the small stone returned to its original position again under the action of spell.
The passage was not long, and it was only a few dozen meters away. There was no lighting tool on both sides. The mage just leaned on the flames at the top of the staff to illuminate. The rough laboratory made Shaoke, the owner of the master, feel that destroying it was the best solution, but for future experiments, he had to keep the laboratory he built himself.
The real room is not big, the floor is just the size of his wooden house, with some scattered daily necessities and some ordinary magic materials piled up inside. This is the mage's warehouse. The second floor is nearly five times larger than the first floor. In order to build this underground laboratory, he learned a large number of ordinary spells, such as shrinking techniques, earth control techniques, and other low-level spells that are not very powerful in combat.
The second floor of the laboratory is the main place for mages to enter various experiments, including stone writing tables and test benches, some simple closets, and even the mage built a fireplace here, but he used it for a long time.
A candle on the wall was lit by a mage. Under the illumination of these candles, the specific situation of the entire laboratory emerged. The precious magic materials piled up in chaos on the ground, some utensils made of various materials, and some stone slabs or wooden boards carved with magic circles and patterns. In the center of the laboratory, there is a model of a high tower built by broken star wood. This model is the mage tower that Shaoke intends to build in the future.
The model nearly two meters high looks very ordinary and even a little bad. This is mainly because the mage carved a lot of numerical numbers on it. These numbers are all marked with numbers on the earth. If other mages saw these numbers, they would even think that this was an ancient text! Several boxes were piled next to the model, and all of them were annotated in number, because each number represents a place that needs magical power to maintain. There, some need to carve some magical characters and magic arrays, while others need to be embedded with some magic traps and various prohibitions.
After checking the space in the second floor room, Shaoke opened the mechanism and continued to walk downwards. There, the third floor of his laboratory was under construction. He still had to spend some time building the third floor, but the third floor space had been opened by the mage. Now he only needs to carve some auxiliary magic arrays and other high-level magic arrays inside.
The third floor space is much larger than the second floor. In addition, there is a huge stone pillar in the center to support the entire space. It is not only much larger in height, but also nearly ten meters away from the second floor. Now the mage wants to do the ground to draw some magic arrays on the stone wall with a carving knife. Finally, after melting some precious magic materials, it will fill it into the magic array.
The three-story space building took a full ten years for the Mars. Now he has completed a small part of the work. As long as he has carved enough magic circles on the ground, he can use some precious materials to fill the magic circles. However, the Shaoke land work has been working now, but hesitated whether it is necessary to continue.
It turned out that the mage had now calculated it correctly. If he wanted to fill all the magic circles in this laboratory according to specific materials, it would not only take over the past few decades to earn various high-level magic materials from his life, but also spend more than half of the death mages to give him the magic materials for a hundred years to consume. Moreover, the magic circles and some structures in this laboratory are not the most advanced. They are just the structures of the intermediate laboratory. What's more, the mage wants to build a large laboratory in this laboratory with props.
The magical materials of the other land are far from enough to use.
Seeing that the carvings on the ground were almost about to complete the engraving of the magic array. Shaoko hesitated for a while and finally decided to continue his work. As for the problem of insufficient materials, he temporarily threw it behind. After all, through the construction of this laboratory, he learned some magic knowledge that he had never noticed before. He also had a long understanding of the structure and connection of magic arrays. He believed that when filling magic materials and carrying out the subsequent work, he would still gain a lot of gains. These gains were not something that he could get by practicing hard to cast spells and simply enhancing magic and mental power.
A magical carving knife made of gold was taken out by Shao Ke. Then he lay on the ground and began to carve the magic circles as they were drawn as before. The hard stones were left with lines of depth by the knife. These lines were slowly connected together under the control of the carving and ground control. After a magic circle was generally successfully portrayed, the mage began to carve some magic characters on it. The magic circle needed to be carved in the magic circle, which was not carved with the same words. Often a magic circle needed three or five kinds of magic words to assist in the operation. The high-level magic circles required dozens or hundreds of magic words to support the operation.
In order to carve these magic circles, Shaoke learned nearly seventy or eighty magic characters in the past ten years, but he could not say them completely, and could only perform some simple depiction and writing. However, all this was enough for the construction of the laboratory. However, the mage did not slow down his learning of magic characters, because as he mastered more and more magic characters, he felt the help of these magic characters to cast his spells. Sometimes he could even feel some ancient casting information from the fluctuations of some remote magic characters.
Shaoke felt very strange about being able to obtain some spell casting information from magical characters. Because he had read many books and some notes, he did not find that any mage could obtain some information from these magical characters for mages to use. However, he was still willing to accept this situation. In the process of studying these magical characters, he obtained a large number of fuzzy spell casting information from ancient spellcasters and even some ancient spellcasters. With the help of this information, his casting speed and spell power have once again increased a lot. At least some simple spells' spell structure can no longer restrict him from increasing the power of spells.
The outline of a small magic circle took a lot of time for the mage to magic. This was because the mage practiced many times before and after the mage had finished portraying it. Before completing the portraying of a magic circle, Shaoke had to take a short rest to restore the consumption of the magic circle just portrayed. Under the influence of advanced meditation methods and auxiliary drugs, the mage's recovery was still very rapid.
In the dark space, there is no time to tell the difference. Only when hunger strikes, the mage eats. Whenever he eats six or seven times, the mage returns to the second floor for a short sleep. After all, carving a magic circle is also a physically consuming task. It is impossible for the mage to always use meditation to restore physical consumption.
Not all the time is spent on sculpting magic circles, and there is also a lot of time to study some magic structures and some magic characters. Of course, a certain amount of time is an indispensable homework for a mage in daily life, but the time for meditation is much compressed by the mage. This is because he can use medicines to practice continuously, so he is not in a hurry to increase his magic and mental power for the time being, so he spends a lot of time to learn other knowledge. The other mages are not as lucky as Shao Ke. Since they cannot take medicines continuously, if they focus on the condensation of magic or mental power, they do not have enough time to study other knowledge. If they focus on the research of magic circles or magic structures, or even some other aspects, they do not have enough time to gather energy to improve their basic strength.
Half of the food consumed in almost a year, Shaoke finally carved all the magic circles in the entire three underground space, and even the central stone pillars were carved with a large number of magic circles and magic words. Seeing his achievements, Shaoke couldn't help laughing loudly on the third floor. The hardships were really not enough for outsiders to know! Thinking of how much time he spent on this laboratory, Shaoke sometimes even regretted it. But considering the time and some gains he had already put in before, he still gritted his teeth and persevered in this project that had taken ten years.
Shaoke spent a lot of time again to check whether the magic array was correct, so he temporarily stopped the construction of the laboratory. He needed to rest for a while and even more needed to record the gains of this period in words.
