Walking into the dragon's cave, Feng Chou hugged Ayesha and patted her head. He walked straight to the deepest part of the dragon's cave, opened a secret door, and walked in.
This secret door in the deepest part of the dragon's cave was specially opened by Feng Chou. There was a green dragon guarding outside, so it was relatively safe.
The secret room was very simple. There was only a stone table and a few stone chairs.
Feng Chou walked to the stone table and sat down. He took out Qiankun Pagoda and placed it on the stone table, then entered Qiankun Pagoda.
This secret room did not have any protective measures. With the green dragon's spellcasting ability, it was not difficult for it to sense what was happening in the secret room. However, Feng Chou believed that as his contracted slave, this green dragon would never have the idea of peeping into its master's secrets.
Feng Chou entered Qiankun Pagoda, and Qiankun Pagoda immediately reported the results of this submission to him.
Among them, there was information on eight types of advanced spells. Because he had previously submitted a full set of information on alchemy, necromancy, incantation, evocation, and defense, and also obtained some information from the demon Morpheus, the eight types of advanced spells he obtained this time only earned Feng Chou 94 merit points and nearly 5,000,000 Soul Power.
In fact, this number was much higher than Feng Chou's estimate. The reason was that the eight types of information given by the Amazons were all original arcane information, not castrated magic information. Naturally, the rewards given were much higher.
After comparing the magic information given by the Amazons and the information purchased from Morpheus, Qiankun Pagoda found that the existing parts of the two types of information were basically the same. Therefore, it could be inferred that the information purchased from Morpheus was indeed arcane information, not castrated magic information.
This inference made Feng Chou feel relieved. In this way, the entire set of advanced spells in his hands was the Olympiad version.
Feng Chou received a total of 477 merit points from the master-level materials of the two faculties. The master-level materials of the Evocation and Alchemy faculties were exchanged for 226 merit points and 251 merit points from the Evocation and Alchemy faculties.
In addition, there was also nearly 25,000,000 Soul Power!
The Reincarnation Mirror notified him that he had completed the mandatory task of obtaining 500 merit points in 20 years. At the same time, it reminded him that he had to obtain 5000 merit points in the next 50 years.
Although he had expected this, this new task still gave Feng Chou a headache. The difficulty of this task was simply several times higher!
What gave Feng Chou a headache was not just the ridiculous compulsory quests. Now that he had obtained the arcana materials he needed, the next task was to master the knowledge as soon as possible. However, to master the knowledge, just reading books was not enough. He needed to conduct experiments in order to integrate the new arcana knowledge.
According to Feng Chou's plan, he should first master a master-level arcane spell, then go back and study all the advanced arcane knowledge so that Qiankun Pagoda could obtain this knowledge and use it to level up.
However, in order to master a master-level arcane spell, he had to conduct master-level arcane experiments. In order to conduct master-level arcane experiments, he had to have a master-level sorcerer's laboratory.
The best medium for a master-level sorcerer's laboratory was a sorcerer's tower. Only a master-level sorcerer's tower could fully support a master-level sorcerer's laboratory. Although it was possible to build a master-level sorcerer's laboratory using the method of building an advanced sorcerer's laboratory, the efficiency of such a laboratory was extremely low. It would take a long time to accumulate energy to conduct a decent experiment.
Therefore, in order for Feng Chou to become a great sorcerer, he had to first have a sorcerer's tower.
For those advanced sorcerers in the system who had hopes of becoming great sorcerers, there were naturally sorcerer's academies or guilds that provided or rented sorcerer's towers for them. However, Feng Chou obviously did not have this benefit.
In order to build a sorcerer's tower, Feng Chou had to first master the knowledge of alchemy and evocation. Only a great sorcerer who had mastered both knowledge at the same time was qualified to study the construction of a sorcerer's tower and become a sorcerer's tower architect.
Therefore, Feng Chou was faced with such a paradox. He had to become a great sorcerer before he could build his own sorcerer's tower. He had to have a sorcerer's tower to become a great sorcerer!
It was said that ancient sorcerers could only conduct magic experiments beyond their own level without a sorcerer's tower with the help of the gods. Feng Chou naturally did not have to think about it.
Perhaps he could trade with the seventh princess and rent a sorcerer's tower from her?
Although the Amazons did not have many sorcerers, they definitely had their own sorcerer's tower. Otherwise, they would use their lives to cultivate their own great sorcerers.
However, Feng Chou quickly rejected this idea. If he asked the seventh princess to borrow a sorcerer's tower, even if the princess was an idiot, she would be able to guess that he was a rogue sorcerer without any background.
An advanced rogue sorcerer without any background could casually take out thousands of + 5 magic equipment sets. Even if the seventh princess was a saint, he was afraid that she would not be able to resist wanting to know his secret.
Feng Chou could trade fairly with the seventh princess because they believed that Feng Chou had an emerging large organization behind him.
This could not be blamed on the seventh princess for not being smart. If not, there was no way to explain how Feng Chou could get so many + 5 magic equipment sets in such a short period of time.
In fact, the seventh princess, or the Amazon Kingdom, did not mind leaking arcane knowledge to the Northern Continent. It was not a bad thing for the Amazons to cause some trouble for the Churches of the Gods and the Sorcerer's Guild in the Northern Continent. Moreover, even if the knowledge was leaked, it would at most be leaked to the Sorcerer's Guild in the Northern Continent. It would not affect the Amazons' arcane knowledge business too much. This was also the reason why the seventh princess dared to agree to Feng Chou's request. After so many things happened, it was mainly the eldest princess who took advantage of the loopholes to cause trouble for the seventh princess.
Therefore, Feng Chou going to the seventh princess to rent a sorcerer's tower was almost equivalent to putting up a bid.
If he could not rent a sorcerer's tower from the seventh princess, where could he find a sorcerer's tower?
Needless to say, this was not a small problem.
The bigger problem was that although the reward for turning in the information this time was quite generous, there was still a gap of nearly 20,000,000 units of soul power to level up Qiankun Pagoda. Feng Chou could not think of where he could go to get so much soul power.
Feng Chou sighed. He put the problem of the soul power aside for now. He had to eat one bite at a time. He should think of a way to solve the problem of the sorcerer's tower first. The problem of soul power would be a headache for later.
After thinking for a while, Feng Chou returned to Antalya County.
Time seemed to have frozen in this remote mountainous plain county. The outside world was changing rapidly. The revolution brought about by alchemy and engineering was in the ascendant. However, in this place, it was still like the countryside of the Middle Ages.
Antalya City was still the same. The life of the people here was still the same slow pace that had not changed for thousands of years.
The principal of Antalya Sorcerer's Academy was still Advanced Sorcerer Pei Di.
Feng Chou had been lurking in Antalya City for a week, but Mr. Pei Di did not have a chance to come out. He had no choice but to find a way to create an opportunity.
After all these years of development, the trade route that was built on the foundation of Perold's knight territory to the Underdark had become quite prosperous.
Every year, this passage would bring in tens of millions of crowns for the various forces in Antalya. This income was even more than the income of all the land in Antalya County combined.
Whether it was for the Antalya family, Mr. Pei Di, or any other forces that could get a share of this trade route, this trade route was a lifeline that could not be lost.
When Feng Chou returned to Perold's knight territory, the changes here had reached a point where he could not recognize it.
On the original site of his father's castle, that shabby little castle had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a standard medium-sized castle.
Furthermore, in this small territory, within a radius of ten kilometers, there were actually two castles standing tall.
The other castle was built outside the entrance of the cave that led to the underground world, completely sealing the entrance.
All the roads in the territory had become high-quality roads paved with alchemy cement and cobblestones.
The only thing that had deteriorated was the farmland in the territory. The farmland that Erik had spent so much effort to cultivate and build water conservancy facilities had mostly been abandoned.
Feng Chou, who was invisible, hovering in the air, stared at the territory for a long time. He sighed and flew towards the castle at the entrance of the cave …
