40、magic ladder

　　"Huh? What is that?" In the lake not far away, a golden light was suddenly reflected by the sun wheel in the water near the beach, which caught Frandy's eyes.

　　There are tiny waves in the lake water, making the golden light twinkle. If you don't pay attention, you will not be noticed.

　　Frandy jumped directly from the sixth floor, and the height of dozens of meters was no longer difficult for him now. Going straight to the place where the golden light was emitted, I found that it was not far from the shore. He walked three or four meters with water, and the water just submerged his knees. Reaching down, he deducted an adamantine plate the size of a palm from the sand at the bottom of the lake.

　　Adamantine is a metal that can transmit the elements in the magic source material without loss, and it will never rust. Even if it has been soaked in water for many years, it still reflects a dazzling light.

　　This piece of fine gold has been slightly deformed. Frandy looked back at the magic tower that was abandoned due to the explosion. He thought to himself that it was probably because of the explosion that it was blown here. He didn't expect to be picked up by himself many years later.

　　Looking carefully at this fine gold plate, I found that it was engraved with dense lines, which was obviously a magic circle. Although it had been slightly deformed, the magic circle was still relatively intact.

　　This time, Frandy became interested. He found that he had never seen this magic circle, but from the perspective of the complexity of the magic circle, it should be a kind of magic with at least an intermediate level.

　　Using the knowledge of the magic circle he had learned, Frandy reversed the function of the magic circle along the lines, but he did not expect that the magic circle was completely opposite to the magic circle he had learned.

　　The principle of almost all magic circles is to extract magic elements from the source quality ampoule, and then input them into the magic crystal, so that the magic seeds in the magic crystal are combined into the magic pattern that has been designed in the magic circle to release the magic.

　　However, this magic circle has no magic pattern setting, it seems to reverse the magic element in the magic crystal. Then pour into the essentia ampoule.

　　"Theoretically it doesn't work at all." Frandy is a little puzzled. The magic elements in nature are very active, and it is impossible to collect them into the source quality ampoule. end...

　　Frandy looked at the broken magic tower and seemed to understand something.

　　However, this kind of thinking made Frandy's eyes open. If it is possible to collect the magic elements of nature to the extent that they can be used by magic items, then this invention is definitely not much less important than the magic activator.

　　But looking at the broken magic tower, Frandy thinks it's better to be cautious, otherwise the lessons from the past will be in front of you.

　　Silently put away the adamantine magic circle, Frandy looked at the sky and walked to the restaurant.

　　......

　　With the help of magic power, it is not difficult to build a magic tower. Several earth magicians joined forces, and it took only four days to dismantle the original broken magic tower, leaving an open space.

　　However, when they saw the architectural drawings of the magic tower designed by Frandy, they were all at a loss. Because two underground buildings are drawn on the drawing, one is 50 meters underground and the other is 100 meters deep underground.

　　The space of these two underground buildings is not small. The building 50 meters underground, Frandy, is going to use it to build his own meditation room and Whispering Grass Plantation, while the building 100 meters underground is ready to build his own magic trial land.

　　It is very extravagant to use a Gaia steel with a very good anti-magic effect to build the whole. Although this steel is not as hard as Terra steel, it is very good at defending against magic. Some of the richer samurai are Use this newly made armor to resist the magic of monsters.

　　And Frandy was afraid that it was not safe enough, so Gaia steel was doped with an additive such as quartz to make this magic test ground even stronger. Greatly increased resistance to magic.

　　Even Vice President Gavin was a little distressed. Quartz is okay to say, but so much Gaia steel accounts for almost half of the entire empire's production. Just built an underground structure to test magic. And Frandy is not a magician, just an alchemist. Even adding the identity of a magic warrior, it feels too wasteful.

　　Regarding Frandy's ability to use magic, neither Algernon nor himself told anyone. After all, the magic he performed was too shocking.

　　After Mr. Algernon found out, he agreed with it very much, and hoped to build this magic test ground more solid, regardless of the cost.

　　What surprised the earth magicians and craftsmen the most was that Frandy's map did not design a spiral staircase, but a straight downward passage. It leads directly to the top floor of the magic tower from 100 meters underground.

　　This is what Frandy prepared for himself. For the past few years, he has been living in Algernon's magic tower. Every day, he goes down the stairs from the laboratory on the eleventh floor of the magic tower to the meditation room that is not known how deep underground. He was bored. It takes at least half an hour to go back and forth.

　　So he was going to use a magic power engine to build an elevator in his magic tower...or a magic ladder would be more appropriate.

　　During the time of building the magic tower, Frandy was not idle. Apart from going to the construction site every day, he had already built more than a dozen magic power engines of various sizes and prepared them for various purposes.

　　Three months passed in a blink of an eye. With the efforts of the earth magicians and craftsmen, the main body of the magic tower, including the underground buildings, has been basically completed. The magic tower is still nine floors, and the height is similar to the original. However, a large square was built on the road leading to the outside world in the south.

　　The square is paved with huge bluestone bricks and reinforced with earth magic. The flower beds on both sides have not been fully completed, but it is only a matter of time.

　　At this time, Frandy was installing the magic ladder on the ninth floor. He asked the craftsmen to use ordinary steel to build a large closed iron box as a car, and there was a sliding door on one side of the car. The entire magic ladder is hung on a steel beam at the top of the tower by a chain made of thin Terra steel.

　　In the vertical passage, an adamantine magic circle is installed between each floor, so that the magic ladder can stop exactly on the floor to be stopped. Greatly facilitates access to the magic ladder.

　　The car is big enough for twenty or thirty people to ride together. This kind of magic ladder has never been installed before, so Frandy can only do it himself.

　　Because of the need for secrecy, he cast the entire magic activator in a steel block to prevent it from being snooped on. If someone cracks it violently, he can only damage the magic activator.

　　Several dense silver wires protrude from the two ends of the steel block, which are connected to the closing switch and the magic array. In order to facilitate control, the magic power engine is installed on the top of the car, and a dense silver wire is output to the interior of the car, which is connected to the car. The buttons corresponding to each staircase allow the magic ladder to stop at any floor except the ninth floor at will.

　　The control button of the magic ladder is not set on the ninth floor. Frandy must use his mental power to control the magic motor to go up, because he wants to use the ninth floor as a storage room for storing various precious items. You can't let anyone else in except yourself. Of course, this is also the practice of all magic towers. Each magic tower will protect the place where it stores precious items very closely.

　　After several tests back and forth, Frandy felt very satisfied. It took less than a minute to descend from the ninth floor on the top floor to the magic test room 100 meters underground, and then rise from the ground to the top floor. , Because the car is very heavy, the rotation of the magic engine is a little difficult. It took nearly five minutes.

　　It seemed that the power of the ascent was a little small, so Frandy put a little more emphasis on the knob that controlled the suppression magic circle, and started it again. This time, the ascent time from the underground building to the ninth floor was shortened to less than two minutes. That's what makes me feel satisfied.

　　The construction part of the Magic Tower is almost complete. The Earth Magicians have used the third-level Earth Magic "Stone Sculpting" to reinforce the entire tower body and underground, and their task is completed, and the rest of the chores are continued by ordinary craftsmen. .
