Chapter 553: Magic Storage Pool
In a short period of time, Thor thought of several ways to increase magic power.
It's just that it can't be said to be large-scale.
The last time Thor received a large amount of magic power was in the Elf Valley, where he received the final gift from the half-elf.
The pure magic power that time directly saved him several years of accumulating magic power, and he was successfully promoted to an official wizard.
If he was not an official wizard, it would be difficult for him to survive the wizard tower rebellion.
But now, without the gift from heaven, Thor can only rely on himself to find ways to increase his magic value.
Simply relying on meditation will definitely not work.
"At present, the way I think of to increase the magic value is to collect various pure magic materials, purify and absorb them. However, the disadvantage of this method is that it cannot be completely purified, and impurities will accumulate in the body. Over time, we have to find a way. Clean it up, otherwise there will be great hidden dangers."
"You can build a magic pool." Camus suddenly said.
"Demon pool? What is it?"
Thor had never heard of this name. Although the name was easy to understand, he felt that the method specially proposed by Camus would not be that simple.
"The magic storage pool is to collect witchcraft materials with high magic power, and then extract purer magic power through the four steps of catalysis, refining, filtering, and collection." At first glance, this method sounds similar to the method Thor had thought of before
.
But Thor didn't speak, just stared at Camus quietly.
"Every step in building a magic storage pool is critical, but what determines the core of the magic storage pool is the third step, filtration. The selection of filter materials determines the pollution value in the magic power you extract. Some people will also call it distortion. It's worth it."
Camus's voice was as flat as her emotions. It's like a manual.
"...The best filtering material is a living wizard."
"I'm afraid this kind of knowledge will not be allowed to spread, right?"
Camus didn't answer, just looked at Thor like a sculpture.
Thor leaned on the experimental table and slowly turned the beaker in his hand. "Tell me about it."
Thor built a magic pool on the top of the wizard tower.
The entire pool is constructed from the wizard's tower's own materials. The pool is cylindrical, two meters high and one meter in diameter.
Outside the magic storage pool, a light shield and a condenser were also built. Different environmental simulations can be performed based on different experimental materials.
Because of witchcraft, the overall structure of the magic pool was completed in less than half a month.
The next step is to prepare various materials, catalysts and... suitable filter materials.
After the main facilities of the magic pool were completed, Thor left Herman in the Wizard Tower while he took the others out.
At present, the Jingling Wizard Tower has entered a state of steady growth, and coupled with the forbidden demon Rhine Lake outside, he can leave for a while with peace of mind.
During this outing, Thor is going to a place provided by the old witch. I heard she had seen quicksand termites there.
The queen of quicksand termites secretes a substance known in the wizarding world as obsidian amber. Obsidian amber is a very efficient catalyst with a wide catalytic range.
In the past, when Saul was the second warehouse manager, he had sold a little.
After leaving the wizard's tower, he did not take the queen of quicksand termites with him, because the queen is very fragile and must live in a complex environmental simulation apparatus.
The instrument is very precise and it is afraid of bumps, so it is impossible for Sol to take it on the road.
However, he still had some remaining obsidian amber on him, but for a large-scale experimental project like the Demon Storage Pool, that little bit of remnant was really not enough.
He needs more dark obsidian and sustainable collection channels.
So he planned to follow the clues provided by the old witch to find the quicksand termite colony, and then move to the outside of the Rhine Lake with the queen and her descendants.
The old witch will build an ant nest in advance outside the wizard's tower. When Sol comes back, she can directly move the entire colony of quicksand termites into it.
She came up with it herself. The condition is that the queen ant also gives her a portion of the obsidian amber produced.
Of course Thor would not refuse. He also planned to send someone to move near the ant nest to take charge of guarding it. It would be best if this candidate is an old witch.
The place where the old witch once discovered quicksand termites was not in the desert, but appeared strangely in a mountain forest adjacent to a settlement.
The forest area is not large, not even covering half of the mountain, but the plants growing inside are extremely lush and tall.
People walking inside are as small as ants.
Therefore, it is called Survivor Ancient Forest by the people nearby.
Most of Borderlands is uninhabited. In some areas, only a few powerful wizards or other powerful people live alone.
There were few places where settlements were established.
Before Thor entered the ancient forest of survivors, he first went to a nearby settlement to inquire about information.
This settlement is not large, but it is surrounded by tall walls.
This wall looks to be quite old. The bricks and stones are mottled, and even some of the witchcraft circles engraved on them have become ineffective, and they are simply hung on them to act as a deterrent.
There is a mountain to the north and the Ancient Survivor Forest to the south. There is no obstruction on the east and west sides. There is only an equally weathered road that extends under the wall and then branches to bypass it.
The sun shines down unbridled. It's obviously autumn, but it still has the power of midsummer.
Thor reached the point where the road forked.
The path leading to the settlement was overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that not many people usually came and went.
When Thor was considering whether to walk through the door or fly in directly, a series of messy metal collision sounds from far to near attracted his attention.
Seven ordinary people in ragged clothes lined up and walked out of the ancient forest of survivors.
They all had shackles on their ankles.
Everyone's left foot is tied to one chain of iron shackles, and everyone's right foot is tied to another chain.
All seven people's eyes were covered with black cloth.
The first man was carrying a lantern.
The light of the lantern was so weak that it was almost impossible to see clearly under the bright sun.
"A group of people who were tied together were all blindfolded, but they still had to hold a lamp?"
Saul stood there, watching them slowly walk out of the forest, their bare feet changing from stepping on the grass to stepping on the ground. , and then passed by him.
Their pants were rolled up to their knees, and their calves to their toes were covered in dirt.
When the last person passed by Saul, he followed behind.
The bifurcation of the road is more than a hundred meters away from the doorway dug in the wall.
When the first blindfolded man approached the closed beech door, the lantern he held in his hand went out with a bang.
The first man stopped immediately.
Then the entire procession came to a deft halt.
At this time, the door opened a crack silently.
It was dark inside the gate, as if sunlight was forbidden inside the settlement.
A huge hand opened the door, widening the crack enough for one person to enter.
The lantern came on again.
The seven people in front continued to move forward, stepping first with their right foot and then their left foot in a very tacit understanding.
Thor was still walking at the back, and even the frequency of his steps was the same as that of the ordinary people in front.
He successfully entered the door and looked up to see a large, approximately triangular head sticking out from behind the door panel.
His eyes are orange and as big as a round table. One of his two hands was on the side of the door, and the other was resting on top of the door panel.
He didn't look at Thor, his cloudy pupils moved little by little along with the seven ordinary people walking slowly on the ground.
"Gulu."
Sol seemed to hear the sound of swallowing saliva.
The monster behind the door finally couldn't hold it any longer. He let go of the door with one hand and reached out to the last of the seven people.
He grabbed the man's upper body and tried to lift him up.
But as soon as he raised his arm, the shackles attached to the feet of the seven people began to rattle.
The person who was caught was in a panic, but he opened his mouth but made no sound. He just kept shaking his legs that could still move, trying to make the sound of the shackles louder.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a long whip stretched out from the darkness and hit the monster on the head hard.
"Don't touch my things!"
an angry old man's voice sounded.
