Of course, Spell Stop also had its limitations. First of all, the range of influence of this spell was limited, and it couldn't be moved. So once the spell took effect, you couldn't move anymore.
During the time Time Stop, you could cast spells, but because of the influence of the time flow fault inside and outside the time acceleration range, you couldn't use your mind to lock onto the enemy outside the fault. Even if you aimed at your enemy, the final effect of the spell would be unpredictably deflected due to the adjustment of the time flow.
In fact, after casting the Time Stop spell, you could either cast some buff spells on yourself, cast auxiliary spells such as summoning spells, or cast an area of effect spell.
The spell cast during the time Time Stop spell was in effect would not appear immediately. The caster had to wait until the Time Stop spell was over before he could see the spell he had just cast suddenly erupt.
This was because the range of influence of Time Stop was limited. When the world's rules responded to the casting of the spell in Time Stop, they followed the normal time of the outside world. So, this phenomenon occurred.
Although Time Stop had many limitations, it was also the best choice to escape or turn the tables. Even if you had been shot by a Dimensional Anchor, you could still use Spell Identification to lock onto the Dimensional Anchor on your body after using Time Stop, then use Advanced Dispel Magic to destroy it, and finally use Advanced Teleportation to leave the battlefield.
Even if you accidentally entered the range of the Dimensional Lock, you could still use "Luxury Disjunction" to remove the effect of the Dimensional Lock around you after Time Stop, and then use Advanced Teleportation to leave the battlefield.
After understanding the principle of the Time Stop spell, Feng Chou thought of a step-by-step method to master this spell.
The time acceleration of the Time Stop spell was too great. It was a hundred times acceleration at the beginning. This was too difficult for a mage who had come into contact with an extremely complicated time spell for the first time.
So why not start with three or five times acceleration?
Haste was a level-three transformation spell. Of course, a level-three spell did not involve the rules of time. In fact, the level-three Haste was only a typical low-level buff spell that increased the speed of the subject's nerve reflex, mental acuity, and a certain degree of buff to the subject's body.
This spell could at most double the target's movement speed. The stronger the target was, the greater the absolute value of the buff, but the lesser the relative value.
Feng Chou's idea was to add some Spatial and Temporal Laws to the 3rd Tier Haste and improve this 3rd Tier Spell to the 6th Tier.
In the process of improvement, he could have a deeper understanding of the Time Stop spell.
Researching and improving spells required the use of a Wizard Tower. Naturally, Feng Chou could not continue to stay on the deserted island. He returned to Green Dragon Island.
…
After three years of construction, Green Dragon Island had changed its appearance once again.
The new immigrants had completely integrated into the island. With their efforts, more than 300,000 mu of fertile farmland had been cultivated on the coastal plain within the sea wall, making the total number of farmlands on the island reach more than 600,000 mu.
In the southern half of the island, there was an idyllic landscape of farmland, roads, villages, and ditches. In the entire southern part of the island, except for the windbreak inside and outside the seawall, there were no large forests. Only some hillsides, highlands, and other places unsuitable for farming were preserved as embellishments.
Feng Chou had reserved the northern part of the island for the Green Dragon descendants.
According to Feng Chou's plan, the Green Dragon descendants had also made meticulous changes to the northern part of the forest. Useless trees were cut down, and precious magic wood and magic herbs were transplanted into the empty forest.
Under the care of the Green Dragon descendants with natural talents, the economic crops in the northern part of the island grew healthily.
Selling economic crops had already become the second largest source of income for the Green Dragon descendants, apart from being sailors and soldiers for Feng Chou.
At this time, the total population of Green Dragon Island was close to 60,000 people. Among them, the number of Green Dragon descendants had reached 13,000. Among these Green Dragon descendants, less than half of them were servants of the Green Dragon. The rest of the Green Dragon descendants were mostly sailors in Feng Chou's fleet. A small number of them were recruited to serve in the territory's knight corps.
After three years of cultivation and with the help of the Green Dragon descendants, the 600,000 mu of land on the island had entered a stable period of high yields. The production and consumption of food on the island had basically reached a balance, and Feng Chou finally didn't need to replenish it with Qiankun Pagoda.
Logically speaking, with 600,000 mu of land, a perfect irrigation system, and the Wizard Tower regulating the weather, as well as the support of the Green Dragon descendants, the amount of food produced far exceeded the amount of food for 60,000 people.
However, on one hand, the Green Dragon descendants were all gluttons that could fill up to five humans' stomachs. On the other hand, the Green Dragon descendants were almost purely carnivorous creatures. To them, food was only a supplementary food. If they replaced meat as their main food, it would make their bodies weak and malnourished.
As everyone knew, there was a large amount of waste in converting food into meat. Perhaps five kilograms of food couldn't even be exchanged for half a kilogram of meat.
Moreover, with the improvement of the living conditions of the people on the island, their demand for meat was also increasing day by day. This resulted in the food produced from the 600,000 mu of land on the island, as well as the production from dozens of fishing boats, to satisfy the Green Dragon Island's food and protein needs.
Apart from agriculture, the industry on the Green Dragon Island had also developed rapidly over the years.
In order to increase the alchemy ability of the territory, Feng Chou used the Devil's Contract as a condition for signing a hundred years of loyalty to him as a condition. He held the Red Copper Dragon Bloodline Ceremony for the Goblin Engineer Moorsock. The ceremony and the powerful power of the dragon bloodline had broken the flaw in the Goblin's soul.
After the flaw in his soul had been fixed, the Goblin Grandmaster Moorsock's spellcasting and alchemy skills had increased rapidly.
Feng Chou appointed the Goblin Grandmaster as the chief engineer of his own alchemy factory.
Under the leadership of the Goblin Grandmaster Moorsock, the team of alchemists under Feng Chou had used the few small-scale alchemy smelting production lines that they had purchased from the Northern Continent as a blueprint to create a large-scale metallurgy production line.
With the large-scale production line, Feng Chou had sent his fleet to transport crude steel from the Golden Harbor. He had used the alchemy production line on the island to smelt it into high-quality steel before shipping it to Manta Harbor to sell it at a high price. He had made a lot of money.
Over the past decade, the alchemy factory and fleet had earned Feng Chou tens of billions of crowns.
Because of the existence of Feng Chou's fleet, the overall profits from the trade between the Northern and Southern Continents had dropped by nearly two percent!
Among them, the profits from the steel, which had been the best to earn, had even dropped by five percent.
A small portion of this huge sum of money had been deposited by Feng Chou in the Ottawa Bank in the Northern Continent. A small portion had also been invested into the construction of the territory, including Anrik and Moorsock's research funds. Most of the rest had been exchanged by Feng Chou for Master-level and Legendary-level alchemy materials.
In order to collect these precious materials, Feng Chou had sent offices to all the important cities in the Northern and Southern Continents to be in charge of purchasing and auctioning these items.
