75: Military Fortress and Ice Spirit

Three days later, the probes successively sent back some preliminary information.

Spirit Eye organized this information and projected it onto the light screen in front of Brian.

This world is a planar world. The main plane has an irregular circular shape with a diameter of about 600,000 kilometers, appearing to be a world covered in ice and snow.

It is a world without humans and a low-magic world.

Most of the creatures are cold-resistant magical beasts, not particularly powerful, but the environment is extremely harsh.

Such a world is not very suitable for gaining contribution! The environment is too harsh! My family members would not be able to survive there.

However, it seems it's not entirely impossible; it's just that my family members cannot leave the Mage Tower and can only stay inside the tower.

But that's also good. Since they are all beasts, there will be no soft-hearted situations.

Sometimes, human nature is even harder to predict than bestial nature!

The human heart is unfathomable!

Yes, thinking about it this way, such a world is actually more suitable for my family members to gain contribution!

At that time, I will have them bind intelligent robots, and send out their assigned intelligent robots!

Robot binding is divided into mental or conventional activation binding to an individual. Mental binding is suitable for batches, while conventional binding is suitable for non-Mages.

"Spirit Eye, probe deeper. I want to know how many level 4 life forms are in this plane! What is the lowest temperature! And are there any other hidden things!"

"Okay!"

Spirit Eye once again launched the remaining 24 probes into this plane, intensifying the detection of that low-level plane.

Five more days passed, and Spirit Eye projected new information.

There are approximately over a thousand level 4 life forms in this plane, scattered across various regions.

The average temperature is minus sixty degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature can reach minus one hundred and twenty degrees.

Currently, there are no energy fluctuations exceeding level 4.

Alright! It's just that the temperature is too low, so my family members definitely can't go out.

They can only hide in the Mage Tower.

Worlds like this are only fit for sacrifice!

That's good, I'll get a World Baron title!

However, I can probe the other two low-level worlds.

If there are human worlds, maybe I can recruit some geniuses into my territory!

As for ordinary people, to be honest, he doesn't think they are very important.

So now, what needs to be done is to open the gate and clear the area!

Before that, a military fortress needs to be built!

The teleportation gate will be opened inside the military fortress.

Brian looked at the map of his territory, wondering where to build this military fortress.

Hmm, first, to be safe, it's definitely more suitable to build it underground.

Various Magic Formations also need to be set up.

No! If it's set up underground, wouldn't using magic missiles to blast it just bury myself?

Then it can be set up above ground, enclosing a 1 * 1 kilometer plot of land, with multiple layers of varying height walls outside!

Hmm, let me think!

An anti-flight Magic Formation can be set up within the plot, so that flying invaders cannot fly. Hmm, I remember this should have friend-or-foe identification capabilities.

Spatial confinement Magic Formations also need to be arranged around to guard against spatial creatures.

Anti-stealth Magic Formations are also needed! Forbidden land Magic Formations too! Creatures that can be invisible or burrow are not uncommon.

Considering those polluting things, purification Magic Formations are also essential!

Hmm, these are roughly the functional types of Magic Formations.

Now for defense.

Set up the first wall outside this plot, reaching 100 meters high and 30 meters wide.

The second wall is 500 meters away from the first wall, 300 meters high and 100 meters wide.

The third wall is 500 meters away from the second wall, 600 meters high and 200 meters wide.

The fourth wall is 1000 meters away from the third wall, 1000 meters high and 300 meters wide.

Each wall will have its own unique defensive Magic Formation and offensive Magic Formation!

And since each wall has a different height, intelligent robots can also provide all-around output from various walls!

Huh? I seem to have found a key point!

I don't have enough space!

Then let's set up 3 walls! That should be enough.

That means a 2 * 2 kilometer plot! Set the distance between the second and first walls to 270 meters, and between the third and second walls to 400 meters.

Hmm, let's set it up on the seaside of the Zhongnan Mountain Range, and directly transform the Zhongnan Mountain Range as well.

The overall water level of that 4 square kilometer plot will be lowered to the same level as the town. So the overall height will be lowered by about 50 meters.

At that time, a main road will be built from the side close to the castle, leading directly to the rear of the castle area.

If needed, a road leading to the town will be built from the rear of the castle area, circling the castle.

Walls and intelligent robot outposts will be built on both sides of the main road.

This will also allow the animals within the Zhongnan Mountain Range to be kept on both sides, and a large zoo can be built in the future!

Now, let Spirit Eye control the intelligent robots to drive the city builder to construct these areas.

At the same time, contact Eric and have him engrave the Magic Formations, or directly purchase them from the Magic Net.

Brian told Spirit Eye what he had in mind, and with Spirit Eye's help, after producing the blueprints, he instructed:

"Spirit Eye, later you control the intelligent robots to drive the city builder to construct the Zhongnan Mountain Range transformation area."

"No problem, Master! Mission accomplished!"

Then Brian contacted Eric and explained his needs.

Upon hearing this, Eric was very interested and promised to come as soon as possible to help engrave the Magic Formations.

At the same time, Spirit Eye controlled the intelligent robots, driving the city builder to the designated area to begin construction.

The operation was swift and orderly, following the plan to level the area near the sea in the Zhongnan Mountain Range, lowering the overall water level by approximately 50 meters.

During the construction, some animals in the Zhongnan Mountain Range were disturbed and ran out from their hiding places.

However, due to the level 4 intelligent robots guarding both the walls and the construction site,

There was no impact on the construction.

Walls and outposts will soon be built on both sides of the main road, and these animals will also be kept on both sides.

Looking at the various animals, Brian thought, he will bring his wife and children to visit and play here in the future!

Eric soon arrived via the teleportation array, bringing some materials and tools needed for engraving the Magic Formations.

After he and Brian arrived at the place where the Magic Formations needed to be engraved, he saw the construction site of the city builder and was filled with emotion!

"It can be done without human casting, Brian, your magic tool is quite interesting!"

"Hey, it's fine for personal use. It's hard to promote! Last time I showed it to Archmage Catherine, she thought its level was a bit low."

Brian said with a look that implied 'don't even mention it'.

"Haha, Aunt Catherine and the others are high-level, you know. For them, one spell can directly reconstruct your entire island; this is just child's play!" Eric consoled.

"Whoa! Is it that exaggerated?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? You can understand level 7 and above as the power of gods. It's just that there are no gods in our world; even if there were, they would be imprisoned in laboratories by the bigwigs!"

"Huh? Imprisoned in laboratories? Gods? No way?" Brian was a little startled by Eric's words. Is it that terrifying?

"Heh, otherwise, what do you think? Gods are just creatures whose systems are different from ours, but essentially they are the same as level 7 and above. Those who can't beat us can only contribute to us!"

Eric said with a matter-of-fact expression.

Brian looked at the talkative Eric and thought this was a great opportunity to understand the world, so he asked:

"Then how many Archmages above level 7 are there in our world?"

"Uh, well, I'm not too sure about that! It's difficult to learn about these things until you reach a certain level. My teacher never told me about it either!"

"Alright! Then what do you think of my military fortress setup?"

Eric stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said:

"The overall plan is quite good, very well thought out. The multi-layered wall design can effectively block the invasion of various creatures, and the different heights of the walls can form a three-dimensional defense system."

"Setting up separate offensive and defensive Magic Formations for each wall is also a highlight. It can effectively compensate for the lack of wall strength. However, your walls' strength is indeed low. It seems Aunt Catherine's consideration makes sense. This city builder still needs to be upgraded!"

"The arrangement of various Magic Formations is also very necessary. Anti-flight, spatial confinement, anti-stealth, forbidden land, and purification – these Magic Formations basically cover common defensive needs. However, I suggest you arrange the core of these Magic Formations on the third wall!"

"As for why? This can prevent them from being broken! If they are set on the third wall, only those above level 7 can break them!"

After Eric finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Brian, waiting for his response.

Brian thought for a moment and felt that Eric's words were indeed reasonable!

"Right, then let's do as you say! Anyway, just get it done for me, and the reward will definitely satisfy you! You can buy the materials, I'll transfer 100 million to you first, more to be refunded, less to be made up."

"Okay, I've seen the site. I'll come back to engrave the Magic Formations after the construction is complete. I'll go back and buy the materials!"

With that, Eric teleported back through Brian's Mage Tower.

As time passed, the outline of the military fortress gradually emerged.

The entire 4-square-kilometer plot appeared in a black-gold color, like a giant black-gold iron plate laid flat on the ground, with an overall thickness exceeding 30 meters.

The first wall was basically completed, 100 meters high and 30 meters wide, appearing majestic and spectacular.

The second wall was also under intense construction, 270 meters away from the first wall, and its height reached 300 meters.

While constructing the walls, another city builder was also building the main road, the walls on both sides of the main road, and the outposts on the walls.

Starting from the side close to the castle, a wide main road extended towards the military fortress.

A week later, the military fortress, main road, and walls were all completed.

Eric's progress in arranging the Magic Formations was also more than halfway done.

On this day, Brian was reading in his study.

Spirit Eye, by his side, suddenly grabbed Brian's sleeve with an excited expression and said:

"Master, there's new intelligence from the Ice and Snow World! We found an Ice and Snow Elf in a valley in the central part of that world!"

"Ice and Snow Elf?" This was a blind spot in Brian's knowledge, he asked.

"Yes, Master, an Ice and Snow Elf! That's a rare item! She can transform the environment into an ice and snow environment and influence any plants growing within the Ice and Snow Elf's range to undergo ice-type evolution."

"She is super cute! The one we found is a level 3 Ice and Snow Elf."

While Spirit Eye explained, she projected a light screen in front of Brian. On the light screen, Spirit Eye excitedly pointed at the 3D image of the Ice and Snow Elf displayed next to her.

Next to the Ice and Snow Elf image, there were also some descriptions of the Ice and Snow Elf.

[Ice and Snow Elf]: The darling of ice and snow, an important partner for Research Mages in the Mage World. If encountered, please treat her kindly.

Below it, there was a small line of text: If not needed, you can sell her to the Frost Floating City. We will purchase her for 1 billion high-grade magic stone per sprite.

Brian looked at the image and introduction of the Ice and Snow Elf on the light screen, thinking, how cute! And her function is so powerful.

Perhaps the ability to influence the evolution of surrounding plants might seem ordinary, but one must know, it's *any* plant!

This is interesting! They play a crucial role in developing new magical plants.

Selling her is out of the question. Although 1 billion high-grade magic stone is not a small sum, for a Research Mage like Brian, an Ice and Snow Elf is more important than 1 billion!

Moreover, Ice and Snow Elfs are so rare; who knows what other uses she might have?

"Spirit Eye, no selling! We'll keep her in the planting layer of the Mage Tower! You can play with her when you're free!"

"Really? Master, that's great!" Hearing Brian's plan, Spirit Eye immediately cheered excitedly.

"And Master, Ice and Snow Elfs can also establish a mental link with Mages! After establishing the link, it can better guide plant evolution, and perhaps even develop entirely new magical plant species," Spirit Eye continued to explain excitedly.

Brian's eyes lit up; this function was too practical.

"Once we bring her back, I'll establish a mental link with her."

"No problem, Master. Do you want to open the teleportation gate early?" Spirit Eye asked.

Brian pondered for a moment and said, "No need to rush to open the teleportation gate. Eric will complete the arrangement of the Magic Formations in just three to five days. We'll arrange the capture after it's done."

"Alright, Master. Then I'll closely monitor the Ice and Snow Elf's movements for now," Spirit Eye responded obediently. "Master, we'll need to purchase a creature cage for the capture!"

"Okay, then just buy it directly from the Magic Net."
