There was a legendary arcane tower on the Benedict Plains, but this arcane tower had been destroyed by some terrible force. Only the bottom four floors were left. The fifth floor and above were nowhere to be seen.
According to the construction practice of arcane towers during the Arcane Empire, the first floor was the living room, the second floor was the apprentice's library, the third floor was the material storage room, the fourth floor was the four elemental pools, the fifth floor was the ordinary laboratory, the sixth floor was the arcane garden, the seventh floor was the secret library, the eighth floor was the positive energy pool, the ninth floor was the exploration room, and the tenth floor was the explosion room.
The first floor was the binding room, the second floor was the negative energy pool, the third floor was the shadow garden, and the fourth floor was the sealing room.
It was not difficult to see from these practices that the most valuable parts of an arcane tower were usually above the fifth floor. The arcane information, arcane resources, and secrets of the arcane tower owner were all hidden in the upper floors of the arcane tower.
Without the upper floors, there were only four floors below and four underground floors left. To Legendary Mages and Great Mages, it was no longer very attractive. Although it was attractive to high-ranked Mages and below, high-ranked Mages simply did not have the ability to explore a Legendary-level arcane tower, even if the tower was already damaged.
Not to mention high-ranked mages, even great mages would have to be careful when facing a legendary arcane tower.
Those who were interested in it did not have the ability to explore it. The broken arcane tower was thus preserved until the Benedict family decided to develop the plains where the arcane tower was located.
It was not difficult to see from the mission description that the conditions for development of the Benedict Plains were very good.
The plains were shaped like a gourd, the mouth of the gourd facing the mountains in the east. A raging river rushed out of the mountains from the mouth of the gourd, forming a huge swamp in the upper half of the gourd-shaped plains.
This raging river was the upper reaches of the Modima River. The Benedict family had now named the upper reaches of the river the Benedict River.
The Benedict River that poured into the swamp converged into a river at the neck of the calabash. After entering the lower plains of the calabash, the river became gentle. It meandered through the lower plains and finally entered the broken mountains in the west.
The neck of the Upper and Lower Benedict Plains was choked by two mountain ranges on the left and right. The narrowest part was less than 20 kilometers wide. If a dam could be built here, it could easily raise the water level of the swamp in the Upper Benedict Plains. Then, it would only need to build some irrigation canals to turn the Lower Benedict Plains into a fertile land and develop a large area of high-quality territory.
In fact, the remnants of a dam were left behind at the neck of the gourd in the Upper and Lower Plains.
Why was such a good piece of land being developed only today?
The reason was the broken arcane tower in the middle of Benedict's plains.
Because the tower had lost its upper half, it had also lost the positive energy pool at the top of the tower. All that was left were the four elemental pools on the fourth floor and the negative energy pool underground.
There was only negative energy, and there was no positive energy to balance it out. This caused the energy of the Arcane Tower to become completely unbalanced, and the negative energy polluted a large area of the land around the Mage Tower.
The dense negative energy around the Arcane Tower turned the area into a paradise for the undead. At the same time, the negative energy would also pollute the land. Purifying it was not an easy task.
As for how bad the negative energy around the Arcane Tower was, the quest description did not go into detail. It focused on the unique conditions of Benedict's development.
Judging from Feng Chou's knowledge of magic, the situation of the Arcane Tower was definitely not too optimistic.
However, this had nothing to do with Feng Chou. What he wanted to do was to find a way to approach the Arcane Tower and see if he could obtain some magical information. If a magical airship could give him 10,000 points of soul energy, would a legendary Arcane Tower give him even more?
While listening to Qiankun Pagoda's report, Feng Chou subconsciously walked around the Guild of Mercenaries. When he finished listening to the report and looked around, he found himself on the street behind the Guild of Mercenaries.
The street behind the Guild of Mercenaries was wider than the one in front, but it was very quiet. Tall trees were planted on both sides of the street, and the back door of the Guild of Mercenaries looked even more imposing than the front door. Above the door, in the middle of the building, was a tall spire. Below the spire was a decorative stone wall, embossed with a huge emblem. The emblem was engraved with a blue flag fluttering in the wind. In the center of the flag was a golden lightning symbol.
This was the sacred emblem of the Lord of War, Hedegar!
It turned out that the building behind the Guild of Mercenaries was actually a shrine of the Lord of War.
Feng Chou was filled with deep veneration. He bowed slightly towards the main door of the temple and quickly left the street.
Walking out of the main street, Feng Chou waved his hand and called for a rental carriage parked at the corner. He jumped on and said, "Let's go to the best hotel nearby."
The carriage started and drove forward along the wide stone road.
After driving through a few intersections, the carriage stopped in front of a splendid crystal wall building.
This was a very luxurious hotel. The lobby was covered with glossy marble floors, and the pedestrian walkways were covered with red wool carpets.
The guests coming and going in the lobby of the hotel had the unique aura of nobility.
After Feng Chou paid the deposit at the front desk, he received a room on the top floor with a balcony facing the street.
Under the attentive guidance of a young waiter, he came to his room. It was a spacious, gorgeous, and comfortable suite. The room was covered with a thick carpet, exquisite oil paintings hung on the walls, and a gorgeous chandelier hung from the ceiling. The room was furnished with luxurious brass furniture, and a large and comfortable bed.
After sending the waiter away, Feng Chou used "magic tricks" to thoroughly clean the bed. He had no confidence in the hygiene of the people of this era.
Besides, Qiankun Pagoda only needed a bit of soul energy to cast a level zero spell, and the cooldown time was so short that it was almost negligible.
"Magic tricks" was a general level zero spell. Among the level zero spells, this spell could be said to be the most complex. It had many effects, such as cleaning or dirtying things. It could be used to move objects of less than two kilograms. It could be used to increase or decrease the temperature of objects. It could also be used to remove or add flavor to objects. It could also be used to create objects, such as making withered flowers bloom …
Magic tricks was not an illusion. What it created was actually a simple simulation of the shape and color of an object using magic elements. The object it created only looked like that, but it could not be used normally.
Magic tricks was a must-learn spell for most low-level mages to practice their magic control.
After using Magic tricks to clean the bed and himself, Feng Chou fell on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
This was Feng Chou's first long distance boat ride. He was not used to it. Now that he finally had his feet on the ground, he could finally have a good rest.
