Chapter 252 - Chapter 65 Turn Mud into Stone (1/2)

The busy construction continued.

The number of pirate subordinates at the back that were in charge of carrying and processing logs had increased to more than 100. Logs were continuously being sent back to the camp, and then the wood was divided by the craftsmen or those skilled individuals. Part of it went directly into the ground to build a fence which was about five meters high with a simple watchtower. Pirates often set up camps on Overseas Islands, so many pirate subordinates could at least do this kind of work.

Soran was busy chopping wood and practicing his sword skills at the same time.

Vivian was bored, and after reading the book for a while, she took out a scroll and looked at it. Then she directly went out of the tent. Many pirates still knew how to respect this lovely little girl. First of all, people who did not respect her were thrown into the sea by Soran to feed the fishes. Secondly, this lovely little girl who looked harmless to people and animals was a terrifying Wizard. Her status was independent of the pirate community. Even the half-elf first mate would answer the little girl’s questions earnestly when he met her.

“Oh.”

Vivian tilted her head and looked at the busy slaves and pirate subordinates outside. To be honest, they weren’t very efficient. Although there was alchemy equipment similar to excavators in this world, they were only things that high-end Spellcasters could afford. At present, the construction of the whole camp was done using manual labor. A drainage ditch along the tent was dug out using a hoe. In this case, it could only be imagined that the efficiency of the construction was not that high, and the human resources consumed were also quite considerable.

After looking for a while, the little girl took out a thick book which was as thick as Xinhua dictionary from thin air. Written on it was a row of words that was the title, but it was a little strange. One could roughly read and understand the meaning. On the cover wrote “Guide to Crafting *a Wizard Tower * and the Golem Guardian”. This book wasn’t well preserved from the start. Some of the handwriting on the cover faded. The front parts also had some stains, and it seemed like a book that has been kept for a long time.

A Wizard’s knowledge was very valuable—especially the books required by Wizards. Generally, these books were not printed, but written by hand, word by word.

It was their whole life’s worth of accumulated wealth!

Soran respected knowledgeable people very much. That was why, even though the little girl did not like reading very much, she still cherished the books very much.

She was a good child that listened to her older brother!

Vivian sat down at a random place. Then she closed her little knees and opened the thick and heavy book which was bigger than her little face. She flipped the book rather quickly. In a moment, she turned about a hundred pages, then stopped at one of the pages. She raised a fair little hand to point at one line of words and then turned the back page. There were many words and illustrations there. The little girl frowned for a while, then murmured, “The best material to make a wizard tower, was a stone made of mud through stone spells. These kinds of stones were quite hard. After simple enchantments, their hardness could even be above marbles.”

She continued reading on the second page and murmured: “If you incorporate it with the **** skills left behind by the Arcane Empire, turning mud into stone can make the stone made by magic reach the hardness level of steel. ********This skill requires some special materials. ********* Part of this process is recorded in ******* ”

It was unknown whether it was deliberately erased or inadvertently damaged due to time.

The information regarding how to use spells to turn mud into stone had all become stains that were indecipherable. When Vivian read this, she frowned and said: “Which bastard did this!”

She raised her little hand and kept flipping towards the back. However, she had already reached the inner layout of a Wizard Tower, and it did not mention the overall structural materials of the tower. The little girl was so angry that she threw the thick book directly back into the multi-dimensional belt. Then she held her chin with her little hand and went: “Too bad, my spell slots are not enough. Otherwise, I could have helped big brother build a camp by turning mud into stone.”

“Oh.”

“It seems to be recorded in the book that sister Gloria showed me before. This spell transforms the earth according to the casting level and spellcasting score. It looks like 2 cubic feet per point. I wonder how much can I transform?”

“Umm. I’ll try it when I have time.”

The little girl tilted her head and muttered for a while. She then felt a little sleepy and walked towards her tent.

Recently, she had been quite sleepy, but what made her happy was that she was taller.

“Turn Mud into Stone [Level 5 Spell]: the Spellcaster can transform the mud into stone. This transformation process is permanent. Each spellcasting score can transform 2 cubic feet of mud. Many of the building materials, including the structure of the Wizard Tower, are made out of turning mud into stone. This kind of spell effect will change it forever after it is used, and it is impossible to use dispelling magic to revert the effects. ”

“Hu!”

Soran took a breath and kept his Curved Sword. He had chopped down a large area of trees nearby. Maybe it was because everything had to start from scratch. He felt like he had returned to an era of slash and burn, logging and farming. The fastest way was to rely on the power of a Wizard, but he had no casters in his hands now. He could only use the simplest way to develop the camp. There was the Wizard’s level five “Turn Mud into Stone” spell, which could directly turn mud into rock.

It was precisely at that time when there was a guild with a huge foundation of Spellcasters, who directly built a wall in a day using magic.

However, spell slots were a huge limitation.

If the Goddess of Magic died, spell slots would be changed into mana. At that time, although the casting ability of the Wizard was weakened, they had more freedom casting. If all the mana was spent on the level five spell “Turn Mud into Stone”, it would only require a small number of Wizards to achieve amazing results. In that year’s development tactics, especially the development of the Outer Planes and the Abyss Hell, a Wizard’s ability to construct could not be ignored.
