Netheril’s Glory-Chapter 64: Building a Tower.

It was not difficult for a mage at Punk's level to build a residence from the ground. First, he used a spell to erase the unevenness on the ground and then created some spell-induced plants to grow as the structure of the house, and with some toughness enchantment, this wooden structure became as hard as steel.

Next, he pasted a large amount of soil onto the wall using mage hand and then used a spell to make the soft soil walls into solid rock walls.

But only with these, this six-meter-high tower would just be an ordinary high tower (in Pheren, a stone tower over five meters can be called a high tower, even though five meters was not actually high), If it was only used for living, then it was more than enough, but Punk wanted it to be also an experimental lab with a certain defensive ability, so there were still a few steps that need to be completed.

Punk was holding a small piece of yellow gem. Most Gems in the multidimensional universe, almost 90% of them had the corresponding element affinity, as they were formed when large numbers of elements with different attributes gathered in a small space.

In addition, in this universe, high temperature and high pressure were not enough to overcome the solid molecular forces to form gems, so they could only be produced by the etheric element.

Punk took out this particular gem to summon an earth elemental. But It was a little hard as it was for the first time he used this elemental summoning spell, and the complex characteristics of an official-level spell made it even harder, so Punk struggled a little to build the elemental's model inside his mind palace.

Even with the gem's aid as spellcasting materials, the elemental summoned by him had some deformities. It looked a bit like Popeye from the cartoons on earth. The upper body was huge, but the lower body seemed like it suffered from stunted growth, short and small. With this weird look and its wobbly figure, it made people laugh.

Punk was a little disappointed looking at the summoned limping earth elemental. Although he knew that as a newly promoted official mage, it could be said to be an outstanding achievement, especially when he cast an unpracticed brand new official-level spell, but Punk was still very dissatisfied with this kind of rubbish. If he was in a battle, this thing that could be toppled over even by a stick would be absolutely useless.

"Forget it. I should have expected that the difficulty of an official-level spell will be far greater than that of a trainee-level spell. This thing can at least be used as a construction tool."

Although he could no longer experience the pleasure of learning new spells in a flash...at least repeated spell exercises would help him analyze the spell structure thoroughly, which, if looked at from the perspective of long-term development, he wouldn't really suffer any losses.

"I wonder how difficult and complicated the legendary spells would be...!"

Punk decided not to think about the future too much and focus on building his own house at present, so to make sure he didn't have to spend the night in the carriage.

He ordered this cumbersome and silly earth elemental to touch the tower lightly. Punk intended to let the earth elemental transform the entire tower's rocks into good quality granite, as granite was not only more durable but also easy to enchant. The white texture of granite was also much more beautiful to look at than ordinary rocks; after all, this was the place where he would live for a long time. So making the environment more beautiful and comfortable was almost necessary.

However, the earth elemental's virtual soul seemed to be unable to understand the complicated command such as the slight touch, and the clumsy earth elemental, hearing Punk's command, attached its whole body to the wall. The fragile stone tower wall was immediately cracked.

Punk resisted the urge to smash it with a fireball and carefully issued a straightforward order, so to prevent the tower from being collapsed by the summoned earth elemental, which was supposed to build it.

Although summoning could certainly create an absolutely obedient helper, he had to admit that its drawbacks were also undeniable.

One should know that a natural earth elemental of the earth elemental's plane had high intelligence, unlike Punk's summoned that's IQ was even inferior to that of a gorilla.

If One think about it calmly, it seemed reasonable, as if summoning could completely solve the labour problem, then all the mages, instead of being busy creating alchemy puppets and spending money in buying slaves, wouldn't just summon at will.

Punk found that the only fortunate thing about this "Popeye" earth elemental was that it had remarkable talent in the "Rock Transformation" spells.

In Punk's view, the brown-yellow walls of the stone tower began to slowly transform into solid white granite by the earth elemental, just like ink dripping into clear water, the white textured rock spread quickly in the entire tower's body. As the transformation happened in one go, the entire tower looked like as if it was carved out of a whole piece of granite. The tower was now emitting a soft white light, and with the intricate texture on the walls, it looked very beautiful under the sunlight!

Now only some final touches were left, such as drawing a 250 square meter area outside the white tower as a yard and then spawning high thorns as fences and finally placing the advanced experimental tools bought from the mage union in an empty room of the tower.

Punk also didn't forget to set up various magic traps at the doors to prevent the invasion of thieves............

After a full day of busywork, many treasured materials were used up; and in this process, sometimes even Punk's fast mana recovery speed actually could not keep up with the consumption as too many low-level spells had to be used. But, no matter how the process was, pleasant or tedious, the construction of the tower was finally completed.

As dusk crept in, Casa and Mira completed the day's journey, and they were about to say goodbye to Pheren's surface world for a while. The working townspeople returned home to enjoy the rare relaxation after working while also discussing the "big events" of the day.

On the hillside that no one dared to approach, Punk, seeing that the building of the tower has been completed, quickly dismissed the "shameful" earth elemental and then used spells to clean up the grass and dirt on the ground.

Now, with the brightness of the sunset, a white tower came into view. There were mysterious runes looming on the tower, as multiple arrays were superimposed and staggered in every corner of the tower. Now this tower not only had the defensive capability of an anti-missile bunker but also had various alarms and counter-attack spell formations, So now this tower that Punk has spent a lot of time and money finally could be called a base!

"Let's call it..."White Tower."

Punk, who was not keen on names, just added an adjective to the colour of the building and considered it as its name.

"Now it's time to start my long-awaited experiments."

Punk took out the " Walker's Flesh Golem Making Notes", and while looking through it, he approached the White Tower, which didn't have any lights, but Punk just couldn't wait any longer to read this book thoroughly.
