Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 377

Chapter 375 White Elephant Tower

Chapter 375:
White Elephant Tower No. 5 White Elephant Tower is one of the six wizard towers in the Land of Six Towers. Each of the six white towers has a different animal shape.

No. 1 White Lion Tower, No. 2 White Dragon Tower, No. 3 White Dog Tower, No. 4 White Ox Tower, No. 6 White Horse Tower.

The six signal towers have the same basic functions, but slightly different divisions of labor. They are buildings that have existed for at least three thousand years.

So, when Locke followed the people of the Filaide family and walked on the spiral stone staircase outside the White Elephant Tower and walked along the stone staircase towards the inner passage, he could see the details of the White Elephant Tower, which showed many traces left by time.

On each of the various magical stones of the White Elephant Tower, there were traces of blood, or some kind of rust, or some signs of being bombarded by magic.

It is covered with ancient traces that have only been left over the years.

Even the wizards in the land of six towers today do not know what this ancient white elephant tower has experienced.

Over the long years, this giant wizard tower has had several different owners and its uses were completely different.

As the host, Wizard Anthony took Locke to climb 6,000 steps along the white tower, a total height of one thousand meters, and finally entered an entrance at the bottom of the white elephant tower and walked into the interior of the white elephant tower.

The interior of the White Elephant Tower is like a huge building, which is extremely complex. In the middle, there are suspended steps built by alchemists, which allow wizards to step on the steps and move freely up and down in the center of the White Elephant Tower.

The height of the White Elephant Tower is an exaggerated 50km.

After Anthony’s introduction, Locke learned that the surface height of the White Elephant Tower is 20km, which is incredible. It is equivalent to directly passing through the troposphere and stratosphere in the sky from the ground.

But the underground height of the White Elephant Tower is even deeper, a full 30km.

The Elephant Tower itself is a huge concentrated mining facility. A large number of mortal miners, even wizard miners, will transport the collected ore underground to the White Elephant Tower, and then transfer it to the ground from the White Elephant Tower.

It can be said that the six signal towers not only protect the wizards in the six towers at all times, but also become the main channel for communication between the ground and the underground.

Wizard Anthony, as the host, introduced the White Elephant Tower to Locke incessantly. He was extremely happy, holding up an elephant-head scepter in his hand and whispering, “Junior brother, this elephant-head scepter can represent the authority of the Firaide family and activate some of the White Elephant Tower’s powers.”

“Of course, to fully activate the White Elephant Tower, we must obtain a drop of blood from a pure-blooded wizard from the Firaide family and a pure-blooded wizard from the two ruling families. Only then can we fully activate this White Elephant Tower.”

“If the ruling family does not have the blood of the Firaide family, then they must use a drop of blood from at least twenty pure-blood wizards from medium-ranking families in order to fully utilize the White Elephant Tower.”

Anthony introduced: “The White Elephant Tower, when fully utilized, is extremely terrifying. It only requires the leadership of a crystallized wizard. Even a second-ring wizard cannot break through it.”

“According to the Plutarch family, as long as the six white signal towers in the Six Towers Land are fully activated at the same time, and each wizard signal tower is presided over by at least one first-ring wizard in the crystallization stage, it can resist the attack of a third-ring wizard.”

Wizard Anthony said to Locke, “So, pure-blooded wizards are so important to the wizards of the Six Towers, because the blood of pure-blooded wizards can activate the six signal towers.”

Locke nodded involuntarily after hearing this and observed the interior furnishings of the White Elephant Tower.

The interior of the White Elephant Tower seemed to be filled with countless sophisticated mechanical units, running rapidly, with miners and wizards performing their duties.

When they stand on the floating steps and go up another 5km, they will reach the location of [White Elephant Magic Gem University].

The style has changed again, and there are school areas, laboratory areas, mineral analysis areas, and bloodline research areas.

It is clearly the style of academic research.

Then, another 5km up, you will reach the accommodation area, which has many beautiful ecological landscapes. Some are living areas with sea views, some are like beaches, and some are like tropical rainforests. There are many styles of these living areas.

Then, going further up, is the place where the Magic Gem Feast is held at the White Elephant Magic Gem University.

Locke nodded slightly. It seemed that these six white signal towers were the most important resources in the land of six towers. Whoever could control it would have power.

This giant wizard tower is itself a multifunctional building, equivalent to a skyscraper, with many building spaces inside, each used for different functions.

Along the way, they walked on the floating steps and ascended inside the Tower of Babel. Some wizards also walked on the floating steps and came down from above.

When they meet each other, since the speed is not fast, the wizards can greet each other.

Many wizard students and formal wizards, seeing the people from the Firaide family, would immediately call them Dean/Head/Sir in a flattering manner. Even Locke was called mentor by several wizard students.

Those wizard apprentices who are very good at socializing and especially good at currying favor have begun to look at Locke, and from the attitude of the Filaide family towards Locke, they can see that Locke’s status in the Filaide family is definitely not low.

Some wizard students have even begun planning how to please this new wizard who suddenly entered the White Elephant Tower.

On the floating steps, Peggy interrupted and said, “So, our Six Towers only needs to maintain six Crystallized First Ring wizards to become an iron wall.”

“It can save us a lot of money and allow us to not worry about our own safety like other wizards do. Whether it’s a dark wizard, a natural disaster, or a mass riot of magical creatures on the ground, the six white towers can be used to suppress it.”

“Furthermore, our Six Towers land is rich in mineral resources. We only need to sell the raw ore to others to obtain a steady stream of funds. There is no need to compete with others for projects.”

Paige said very proudly, “We in the Six Towers are blessed with abundant resources. That’s why we don’t have any dark wizards here.”

“Even if there are no second-ring wizards in the land of the Six Towers, we are still not afraid of other wizard lands.”

Locke finally understood why the land of the six towers was like this.

This place does not need to worry about defense issues or resource issues, because the excavation of its underground mineral veins is equivalent to a natural super-huge project. As a result, the wizards here do not need to be as inward-looking as the wizards in other wizarding lands.

This should be a good thing.

But this kind of comfort undoubtedly nurtured a certain mentality among some wizards here, causing them to shift from the pursuit of truth to the pursuit of power.

It was even so outrageous that Peggy, a first-ring wizard, could say that the Six Towers Land did not need second-ring wizards.

Wizard Anthony laughed and said, “Locke, it is said that these are not the true abilities of the White Elephant Tower. This ancient building has such a long history that we can no longer figure out what else it can do.”

“It is said that the wizards in our Six Towers Land only have the right to use these six wizard towers and have never had the right to truly manage them. Of course, this is just a legend.”

Wizard Anthony said: “I had the honor of meeting and talking with the great wizard Sulla. He is truly an old man full of wisdom. His words always give me new knowledge.”

“He told me that those wizards who believe that the family wizards of the Six Towers Land only have the right to use the six white towers but not the right to manage them are probably overly mythical about these six wizard towers.”

Wizard Anthony said: “This statement is like what some wizards would say, that we wizards can only control our hands and feet, but cannot command our brains to stop certain endocrine cycles in the body or stop secreting certain hormones. Therefore, we only have the right to use our own bodies, but not the real right to manage them.”

“It’s a metaphor with a unique angle, but it doesn’t have much practical meaning.”
