Chapter 93 Building the Magic Circle
The central square of the town is very spacious, with a radius of about a hundred meters, surrounded by some important places in the town, and the high platform where Kerr and Slardar handed over the territory before is still on the side of the square.

There is a water pool in the center of the square, and there are many potted flowers and plants beside it. There is also a gentle slope to the water beside the pool, which should be specially used for the Naga to moisten the scales.

Kerr and Lich turned around and decided to build the teleportation array not far from the high platform, so that if they transport materials in the future, they can fully build materials up to three meters high with the help of multi-layered high platforms.

At this time, the mayor of Libia had selected five craftsmen to bring them here, and the Lich Anna quickly directed the five craftsmen to pry open the stone slabs in the square at the chosen location, exposing the underground soil.

"There are too many impurities in the soil, so we have to dig out half a meter deep and replace it with clay with less impurities."

After speaking, Lich Anna simply drew a square with a side length of more than three meters, signaling to the craftsmen that all the soil in this area needed to be replaced.

And these craftsmen said something to the mayor Libia, and then left. After a while, the two craftsmen brought five or six young apprentices, and they brought a lot of digging tools. Digging began.

It turns out that these five people can be regarded as craftsmen with good skills, and they don't know how to do the simple digging and rough work ordered by Lich Anna, so they naturally let their apprentices come.

At this time, the mayor Libia said:
"Miss Anna, there are three craftsmen who brought their apprentices to find suitable clay. It shouldn't take too long to bring the clay with less impurities."

The Lich nodded, and then said to Kerr:

"Lord, after the soil is refilled, it only takes half a day to carve out the rune grooves, and then I use the high-ring spell to cast mud into stone, turning the soil with few impurities into hard marble, and finally casting mithril to form elements Rune."

Kerr just nodded after hearing this. After all, he is not a professional and does not understand these things, but Gost said:
"Miss Anna, have you built a teleportation circle before? I suggest casting it first, and then using the mud to solidify it, because the heat variability of the mud is good, and the variability of the solidified stone is not enough, and it is easy to crack and deform when casting. .”

The mirror image puppet of the Lich didn't speak after listening, but just froze for a moment, then nodded slowly:

"What you said makes sense, then cast the runes first, and then solidify the foundation, and the mithril runes will not affect the effect of the magic aura of turning mud into stone."

In this way, while the Lich and the dwarves were discussing, they directed the craftsmen and apprentices to dig. About half an hour later, these five or six apprentices dug a big hole, and several civilian workers transferred by the mayor of Libia had already Take all this dirt away.

Then the craftsmen apprentices flattened the bottom of the big pit, and laid the original surface stone slabs to the bottom of the pit, and at the same time slightly strengthened the pit wall.

Nearly an hour later, three other craftsmen and their apprentices brought over the clay without impurities one after another. After being confirmed by the Lich, the clay began to be filled into the pit.

Since the clay was excavated on a hillside outside the town, it was troublesome to transport it. It took more than an hour for more than a dozen apprentices to fill the pit and compact it.

Kerr, who was bored watching, also used great force to help compact the clay, and then the Lich began to make rough sketches before carving, and an ordinary steel dagger flexibly drew the magic circle in the hands of the Lich, a mechanical puppet. , runes, magic channels.

It wasn't until evening that the Lich finished drawing these. The entire teleportation circle included the overall structure, various elemental runes, magic channel lines, gem inlay positions, and so on.

After the sky darkened, it was not suitable for precise engraving of rune grooves, so the Lich left two combat puppets to guard the unfinished magic circle. Mayor Libia also conveyed Kerr's order to Ed of the Sword of Dawn Legion, Let him send a small team of people to guard.

Under the notice of Kerr, the dinner was organized by the town mayor Libia, and the participants included Gost, the dwarf artisan master, Anna, the lich who couldn't eat and could only watch, Elena, the Naga priest, and Slardar, the captain. Chang Libia, Captain Ed of the Sword of Dawn, Quartermaster Wu Ruien and so on.

The staple food for dinner is naturally human food, bread, stew, grilled meat, stew, cheese, eggs, etc. These foods are very good, including two Naga can accept, and they even decided to introduce these foods into the Naga Hotel , providing a variety of options.

And early the next morning, Lich Anna started carving the rune grooves. Since the rough drawing was done yesterday, the detailed carving was much faster. However, due to the overall complexity of the teleportation circle, it still took nearly It took two hours to complete.

These rune grooves or magic channel lines, etc., are all about two centimeters deep, and because the clay has very few impurities and has been compacted by Kerr's great force, the carving is very complete, and a small amount of boundary fragmentation is also made of new clay. Patched.

Naturally, Gost had already smelted the mithril. After confirming that the casting could start, the dwarves transferred the mithril that had been smelted in the morning into several small porcelain buckets, and several blacksmith apprentices carried them to the central square of the town. , Then Gorst put on special gloves and started casting himself.

He directly picked up a small porcelain bucket and poured it slowly into the rune grooves. Soon, the mithril liquid in the three small buckets filled the grooves on the edge of the three-meter-diameter magic circle.

As for the groove in the middle of the magic circle, the dwarf Gost is naturally out of reach, so Kerr and Gost used a very long special iron clip to hold the porcelain keg and dumped it at the same time.

Nearly an hour later, all the grooves of the magic circle were filled with mithril, and the mithril began to solidify, while Lich Anna took out a magic crystal and several gemstones, directly pressed them into special positions, and firmly embedded them in the In the semi-solidified Mithril.

As the mithril gradually solidified, the lich began to cast the spell she remembered from last night:
"Extremely effective in turning mud into stone!"

The effect of turning mud into stone cast by using a high-level spell slot is very strong. A huge group of magic aura is submerged in this teleportation circle, and all the soil is turned into hard marble. Kerr believes that it is not only half a meter underground, but even five meters in a radius. Within a meter, the soil one meter below the ground has turned into rocks, and the entire magic circle has become very solid and will not be easily destroyed.

After finishing these, Lich Anna said:
"Lord, this teleportation circle has been completed, but for a completely stable teleportation, it is better not to use it directly. After the other corresponding teleportation circle is also completed, there will be absolutely no problems."

"Oh? What happens if you use it directly?" Kerr didn't understand.

"Now inject magic power into the magic power crystal, meditate on the place you are going, and you can use it directly. There is a 30% probability that you will be successfully teleported to a place you are familiar with, a 30% probability that you will be teleported to a similar place, and a 30% chance The probability of dying directly, such as being teleported into a stone, and there is a 10% probability of being teleported to other planes." Lich seemed to be laughing.
