Chapter 713: Castle in the Sky (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
A magic tower is a very useful fixed asset for spellcasters, serving as their sanctuary, research center, and fortress. Due to the great magical powers they wield, many extraordinary spells surround and protect the building.

To those spellcasters who possess a magic tower, it is a shield, a haven of refuge in times of danger, a reliable sanctuary for the mage to hide from powerful enemies or great chaos.

At the same time, it is also a spear. By utilizing the magical engineering design, radiation, magical turbulence, and other mysterious forces obtained from various arcane knowledge, the caster can build a building that can greatly enhance his arcane abilities, allowing him to expand his control over elements, planes, and other abilities, bringing the most thorough destruction to the enemy.

At the same time, the magic tower can provide the most important scientific research environment for the spellcasters who use it. For many spellcasters, knowledge is power. The magic tower can provide various effective functions and necessary books, items, equipment, space, etc., so that the spellcaster can complete every step of his research without leaving home.

In short, for spellcasters, the relationship between them and their magic tower is very close. Through precise calculations and arrangements, the magic tower and its owner establish a connection, allowing the magic power of the two to flow to each other and gather the surrounding magic power to the magic tower. In many ways, the magic tower is not so much a residential building as it is a device for gathering and channeling magic energy.

In essence, a magic tower is a magic item of building level. The design and structure of this building are to gather magic power. The tower's appearance and tall and upright structure are all for this purpose, which is why spellcasters like to build tall magic towers.

This law is universal in most of the world, even in the Harry Potter world where magic civilization is not very developed. Whether it is Hogwarts, Nurmengard or Hogwarts. These places that have been studied by wizards for a long time have one thing in common, that is, these places have towering towers.

For example, in Hogwarts, Ravenclaw, who puts the most effort into magic research, has its own tower. This is enough to illustrate the effect of this tower design on the user's focusing of magic.

Of course, not every spellcaster has his own magic tower. Or to be more precise, only a very small number of spellcasters can own a magic tower. Some spellcasters can only borrow magic towers by relying on some powerful wizards or forces, and most spellcasters have never used magic towers in their entire lives.

The reason for this situation is that the cost of building such an enchanted building is very staggering. Even if the spellcasters have enough resources to build their own magic towers, they often only build a basic tower instead of a whole castle. Taking the magic buildings Ryan has seen as an example, all the castles are built by either extremely wealthy builders or have a long history, or both.

For Ryan, who has a lot of resources in several worlds, since he has made up his mind to build a magic tower, he will naturally choose the best one. Therefore, a single magic tower is naturally not his goal. A sky city like Laputa is the ideal construction model in his mind.

The core of the magic tower is the energy organ, also known as the energy pool. Fortunately, Ryan had already used the flying stone crystal to solve this most critical problem. The next task was to build a house as the central room of the entire magic tower, and all the other rooms of the magic tower were built with this central room as the cornerstone.

"The book says that it is best to use some stable and solid materials in the construction of the central room. The most important thing about these materials is that they have sufficient magic shielding effect and high enough strength." Hermione read while holding a copy of "Arcane Geometry". "In terms of material selection, metal is the first choice, followed by alchemical stone that is integrated with metal. For example, the magic tower we saw at Ms. Silver Moon's place last time was made of a large amount of metal ore, and the cost was much higher than that of an ordinary magic tower."

"My choice of materials is better than theirs." Just as they were talking, puppet robots borrowed from Laputa walked out of a space gate one by one and carried out one silver-white metal ingot after another.

"Is this magic metal?" Hermione looked at the metal ingots gradually piled up in front of her in surprise. She could feel a faint magical reaction on these metals. "I read in a book before that only gods would use metal as the main body to build their temples." "Don't forget, the world where Silvermoon City is located is equivalent to our Middle Ages. They smelt metal purely by hand. In this case, how could there be so much metal for wizards to squander?" Ryan shrugged as he looked at the metal mountain that was getting higher and higher, "But we have a modern industrialized society behind us."

"This can't be iron." Hermione walked forward and picked up a piece of silver-white metal. "It feels light in my hand. Are you planning to use aluminum alloy?"

"Of course not." Ryan also picked up a metal ingot and injected a little magic power into it. In an instant, the metal emitted a faint blue light, just like some kind of radioactive metal. "This is titanium alloy. When smelting it, I also added a little bit of mithril to make it a magical alloy."

Soon, the puppets built a room with titanium alloy components of different sizes. Then Ryan stepped forward and used the power of the Rose Mother to merge the entire room into one, and then placed the golden ball on the altar built with a whole piece of amethyst in the middle of the room.

Instantly, the whole room radiated a blue light, and a large number of complex golden runes appeared on the metal wall. Hermione had a feeling that the house in front of her seemed to come alive all of a sudden.

"Okay, the first cornerstone of the magic tower has been laid." Ryan pulled Hermione to the front of the house. In an instant, a gap appeared in the room that could accommodate two people entering and exiting, allowing them to go in.

After they entered the room, the passage disappeared again, and the whole room returned to its seamless state. Although the room had no doors or windows, it was filled with soft light. The light came from the four walls, floor, and ceiling of the room.

The walls, ceiling and floor were now densely covered with various runes, magic circles and mysterious patterns made of golden light, which illuminated the entire house. Apart from that, there was almost nothing in the room, only a three-story round amethyst altar more than one person tall was placed in the middle of the floor, and the golden ball as the energy core was now quietly suspended about one meter above the altar.

"Next, we need to float this room 20 meters above the ground, and then start building from the lower half of the sky city." Ryan made a gesture, and a rune on the golden ball lit up. Hermione immediately felt the floor beneath her feet slowly rise, just like sitting in an ascending elevator.

In the next seven months, Ryan and his team built a floating castle bit by bit with the help of tens of thousands of puppets and robots. The castle has everything a magic tower should have, such as a magic garden, a laboratory, a blasting room, a library, a detection room, and a workshop. In addition, the magic castle also has its own artificial intelligence.

"We can go back now." Looking at the dark blue roof and white walls floating in the air, which looked like a castle from a fairy tale, Ryan said to Hermione standing beside him, "I have to say, the gifts we got on this Christmas trip are really great."
