Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2401: The Tower Breaking Through the Clouds

Hill was really satisfied with Russell's performance.

Even for him, when he was in charge of the situation independently for the first time, the situation was so chaotic... He almost shouted out the spell to activate the magic circle, but he still couldn't hear it clearly... He was a little panicked.

Russell was not like him. He had seen large crowds, even tens of thousands of people shouting together, so he was somewhat mentally prepared!
All the survivors in this world combined would probably not be able to fill a stadium-level concert. Even if Russell made many plans for himself, he would still be a little confused when facing such an impact.

Although the undead were quite noisy in the past, but... how should I put it, if you are not standing there yourself, people who are just watching the fun from the sidelines cannot feel it.

Russell is really outstanding as he has not made any mistakes in pronouncing any runes until now.

Hill was actually ready to help him make up for the shortcomings.

The body that Purvi is using now uses a lot of mithril and magical materials, otherwise it would not appear to be so blue and white... It's really interesting. It was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Hill could understand why Mystra always regarded blue and white as a symbol of magic.

No wonder the storms caused by the spell plague were all a pale blue.

Purvi's body is made of fine gold as the skeleton, mithril as the leather, and even has Joseph Garden's heart-protecting cable and crystal flower vines as the blood vessels and meridians. The outermost layer is made of living wood, shadow silk and thistle hair... all of which are soaked in special magic potions... made into something similar to the rough outer skin of the whale itself.

Although under the sunlight, Purvi looked like a real white whale...his belly and back were a bit sky blue, but the back was a little darker.

But at night, or when flying in the star realm, Purvi's skin allows him to quickly blend into the external environment.

These are the natural functions of the material itself... and most importantly, they are difficult to attract other people's attention.

After all, even Hill wouldn't have nothing to do and always have his magic array fully activated. It wasn't a question of whether he could afford to burn crystal stones, but it was impossible to have a magic effect that didn't affect the material itself.

The idea that certain materials will become stronger the more magic you use is a lie for fools.

For example, Tower of Despair.

It is indeed possible that moderate, small-scale, and repeated use of magic can create some memory effects on the magical materials, allowing them to adapt and even become stronger.

But for a big thing like the Magic Tower that can almost be considered a mana-burning thing...it's true that the more you use it, the more problems are likely to occur.

Therefore, the magic tower needs to be inspected every once in a while...there will inevitably be problems between the building materials and the magic circle.

If you want something to last longer, you have to use it with caution and moderation... otherwise, even a self-repairing artifact will explode.

So, after consuming several bodies that Hill had placed many good wishes on, he finally chose the most ordinary body for the Alien Whale... Of course, the value of the material itself cannot be taken into account, it’s just that there is not much innovation.

This body has reduced the subtle magical reactions in Purvi to a minimum... just like what he should be like.

Therefore, as long as Hill himself did not do anything, even if someone saw Purvi flying among the clouds or the sea of ​​stars, they would only think it was a real alien whale.

It was not until this moment that Hill really understood the meaning of returning to basics... Purvi's current body was the most comfortable and skillful one for Little Whale to control.

Unlike in the past when he always wandered around in the magic tower inside the whale's body, since entering this body, Purvi has been staying happily in the control center.

In his words, although the previous ones were also very good and very powerful in a fight, he still liked this body without any special abilities the most.

He is just a mount!
Even when he was a real whale, Purvi had never liked fighting.

Even the black wizards of the Zhentarim had never thought of teaching the alien whales to fight... although it was impossible for them to use Hill's materials to make a body for a whale.

That is what is needed to build a war fortress.

Of course, Hill never regretted making so many things that now seem useless. At least, he and Purvi were quite happy at that time.

That is, after having enough fun, you still have to go back to your original state.

However, if it was the previous pure gold body, it would be basically impossible to arrive in time when Russell made a mistake and stabilize all reactions before the magic circle shifted.

This one, which was very easy to be damaged, is now fine.

Hill turned around and said to Lister, who was floating beside him, with a relaxed and happy look: "Although the shell is not so strong now, it seems to be more applicable!
I used to focus too much on defense, really... I think people need to learn more."

Liszt was stunned for a few seconds before responding timidly with a few words.

Seeing Hill turning around and looking at the back of Russell's head with concern, Tower Spirit couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Does Hill know that his so-called "not that strong" is already more resistant than all the magic towers in this world?

Including the Tower of Dawn.

No, even in Toril, there aren't many magic towers that can carry more than this whale, right?"

Lister stared at the back of the head seriously for a long time before he was sure from the firm reaction... Hill really didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly rolled out of Lister's intelligence core: Sometimes, being a tower spirit is quite helpless.
-
Russell recited the last spell calmly and calmly, and finally let go of the worry in the roar of the magic tower.

Of course he knew that his teacher was there, so even if he made a mistake accidentally, he wouldn't have to rebuild the magic tower.

But, the undead...

It is fun to laugh at other people's jokes, but it is absolutely not okay to become someone else's joke.

Especially the jokes about the undead, which not only have written records, vivid illustrations, but also recorded videos.

Although their teacher's books are quite interesting, there is nothing funny about Teacher Hill himself!
Whether he is a good person or not is another matter. Besides, he is the descendant of God.

Russell, who grew up in this world, has always believed in his own power.

Moreover, there is no mage who does not value the word talent.

Russell didn't really feel anything about it... on the contrary, he found his teacher's experiences more amusing.

What’s funny about some of these stories is not Hill himself, but their teacher’s reaction to certain people and things.

But Russell would not think that Mr. Hill was immature because of some of his seemingly naive and willful reactions.

He was just a little envious.

But the story is different in Toril.

Books that are too sensual make Russell wary... If he is not careful, he will be watched by all the worlds in the multiverse!

Even though he is not considered a strong man at the moment, he can watch the jokes of those powerful gods so casually.

It would be better if he remained silent in the future.

But as long as he has a little fame, when others mention him, the first impression they have is not "Hill's apprentice", but "the one who collapsed his own magic tower when building it"... Can he still go out?
Russell's heart was in a knot from the moment he started chanting the spell... Fortunately, in such a long hour, he really didn't make any mistakes in chanting a single rune!
Carpenter, who had been hiding in the corner with her brother, finally breathed a sigh of relief... If she didn't really trust and love her brother, she would definitely hide and not show up!
For the first time, Carpenter realized that there was a time that was even slower and more stagnant than when Teacher Hill was examining his homework.

Finally, everything went smoothly.

Feeling the elemental pools at the top, middle and bottom of the magic tower filling up in an instant, and the tower floors quickly filled with spell energy, finally rushing directly to the top of the tower, decomposing and transforming the countless materials piled up there into one piece... Only when this step is completed can it be proved that all the magic arrays of the magic tower have been integrated together, and have accepted and completed the tasks arranged by the central management array.

It was not until this moment that Russell smiled with ease.

The huge magic tower roared for six hours before slowly becoming quiet.

At this moment, Russell and Carpenter have been transferred directly to the central management array, and even all the floors of the magic tower have been checked.

After so much carefulness and meticulousness, there is finally a perfect ending.

Now, it was the final and most crucial step... Taking advantage of the magic tower's first almost overloaded charge, it flew directly into space.

Although it is easy to say, Russell has even checked the coordinates countless times...all he needs to do is fly over there.

But this is the step where problems are most likely to occur.

If the will of the world is unwilling to let Russell leave... or if someone somewhere is dissatisfied with this and intends to take action, then there is nothing they can do.

It was already very difficult for Russell and Carpenter to control the magic tower, and they simply couldn't concentrate on fighting against powerful enemies.

Of course, these enemies must be fought by Hill, who had made all preparations yesterday.

But how can Russell and Carpenter really not be worried at all?

Everything depends on human effort...and sometimes that's not a good thing to say.

Russell and Carpenter looked at each other, took a deep breath, and at the same time pressed their hands firmly on the crystal ball that was emitting blue light.

On the ground where the magic tower was located, brilliant and dazzling colorful lights suddenly lit up... After a loud bang, the light blue tower broke through the clouds.
