A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 344 Landscaping within a Square Dimension

Inside the Tower of Babel, Jiang Shuzhou was thoroughly examining Denoz's knowledge of magic.

What are the standard modifications for the Fireball spell?

What are the applications of the Ice Wall spell?

What are the four elements of spell overload?

Denoz answered these questions in a very methodical manner.

"Standard modifications of the Fireball spell include Exploding Fireball, Large Fireball, Burning Fireball..."

"Yes, all correct."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded, quite satisfied.

It is obvious that Denozie is indeed a genius, but unfortunately, her talent in alchemy is not as strong as one might imagine.

Jiang Shuzhou tried it, and could only say it was mediocre.

Being able to create something by following a blueprint is not enough to meet the standard of creation.

"As a reward, I'll treat you to accompany me on a journey to conquer another world, and also to relax in my demiplane. How about it?"

Only Jiang Shuzhou could openly and honestly describe catching people to do work in such a refreshing and unconventional way.

"I'll do as you say, Professor."

Denoz lowered his head slightly, behaving extremely obediently.

"Great, but next, we need to go somewhere else first."

Jiang Shuzhou was very satisfied with Denuozhi's performance. He nodded and then said.

"where?"

"My Mage Tower".

Building the mage tower was, in Jiang Shuzhou's eyes, even more important than exploring unknown planes.

Because there was no mage tower, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't conduct many of his experiments, which frustrated him greatly.

When he used the power of the Goddess of Magic Network before, Jiang Shuzhou came up with a whole bunch of experimental plans, just waiting for the mage tower to be built before he could carry them out.

The most severe of these is the magic stone infection, or magic stone disease.

In Jiang Shuzhou's design, this thing can infect living beings according to Jiang Shuzhou's will and generate magic stones on the surface and inside the bodies of these beings.

The specific principle is to use living organisms as batteries, absorbing elements through their bodies and then condensing them into magic stones. It can be said that this thing is both cruel and efficient.

Furthermore, this disease is not entirely without its benefits. Even an ordinary person who contracts this disease can gain magical abilities and leap directly from the bottom of society to the upper-middle class.

The only drawback is their short lifespan. Although superhumans have long lifespans, these infected individuals are actually just spell emitters. They have nothing to do with superhumans. The real superhumans are actually the magic stones inside their bodies.

However, to achieve this, Jiang Shuzhou still needs to master some technologies, such as the production of magic stones, and how to make magic stones grow in the human body without causing a strong rejection reaction.

At the very least, it cannot directly kill infected individuals; otherwise, the person will be gone before the magic stone has even matured, which would be unacceptable.

As for controlling the Magic Stone Disease, that shouldn't be a problem for Jiang Shuzhou.

Jiang Shuzhou not only possessed the Order Cube, but also constructed a miniature magic network within his demiplane.

Without a doubt, these are all things that Jiang Shuzhou can utilize.

However, these are things to consider later. For now, let's focus on building the Mage Tower and the Astral Gate.

Accompanied by a violent spatial fluctuation, Jiang Shuzhou and De Nuozhi arrived in front of the mage tower.

Everyone present racked their brains and did their utmost to welcome Jiang Shuzhou, fearing that Jiang Shuzhou might find something to be dissatisfied with.

He was surrounded by awe-inspiring gazes, but Jiang Shuzhou was used to it.

As a mage and a leader, Jiang Shuzhou had to keep his distance from others. This wasn't because Jiang Shuzhou liked to pretend, but because if he got too close to these people, they wouldn't work properly.

Moreover, Jiang Shuzhou has no need to lower his stance.

"Brother, we're just missing this one patch of soil."

Murphy stood to the side and spoke to Jiang Shuzhou.

As is customary, Jiang Shuzhou, being everyone's superior, is responsible for the final step in completing the construction, as a sign of respect.

Jiang Shuzhou looked around and asked the workers who were still busy elsewhere.

"Then what's going on with them? Why are they still working?"

Following Jiang Shuzhou's gaze, Murphy also saw the laborers.

He quickly explained.

"Those are for creating the corresponding landscape."

Then, Murphy took out a roll of blueprints and began to explain his plan to Jiang Shuzhou.

First, within a radius of ten miles centered on the Mage Tower, all of this is Jiang Shuzhou's private territory, or rather, his garden, and no one is allowed to approach without permission.

Furthermore, given Jiang Shuzhou's own cultural background, Murphy also designed a large number of landscapes for Jiang Shuzhou.

Such as bamboo groves and small ponds, towering waterfalls, snow-capped mountains and heavenly lakes, mountain hot springs, garden landscapes, and so on.

The cost wasn't high; it was mainly manpower. During this period, Murphy planned to recruit 100,000 people to create a landscape specifically for Jiang Shuzhou.

"Brother, what are your thoughts?"

"Murphy asked."

"Can."

Since the cost wasn't high, Jiang Shuzhou nodded and didn't care about it.

Even if each person spends one gold coin a day, it would only amount to close to two magic stones for 100,000 people. Jiang Shuzhou's mage tower and star gate, on the other hand, cost a full million magic stones to build.

If Jiang Shuzhou hadn't sold a huge amount of weapons, he probably wouldn't have been able to collect so many magic stones by now.

Moreover, these 100,000 people are all laborers, so it won't cost much; the main expense is logistics.

These wouldn't cost Jiang Shuzhou much at all.

He could easily slip a little money through his fingers, enough to cover these people's expenses for a year.

Therefore, Jiang Shuzhou did not object to Murphy's proposal.

Guo Dejun, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Are we really the same species?

He had assumed the laborers were building something else, but it turned out they were building a spectacle.

It's still a spectacular sight, covering an area of ​​over 70 kilometers.

Even the emperor wouldn't be qualified to make this thing, right?

Putting aside the question of how to build something that wastes so much manpower and resources, let's talk about maintenance. How are snow-capped mountains, bamboo, gardens, and flowing water supposed to be put together?

However, the thought of magic put Guo Dejun at ease.

After all, this construction site is a case in point.

No matter how low the outside temperature is, the temperature here is kept constant at 24 degrees Celsius, which is why many workers have to work shirtless.

It's because it's too hot.

"As long as my brother is happy, anything I do is worthwhile."

Murphy may seem simple-minded and silly on the surface, but he is actually quite sensible.

He put a lot of effort into pleasing Jiang Shuzhou, at least.

They devoted themselves to studying Chinese culture and, based on Jiang Shuzhou's personal habits and personality, deduced the scenery that Jiang Shuzhou liked. Then, through design, they integrated these elements into an organic whole.

This might be the kind of flattery unique to civil engineering.
