Chapter 512
Dark incantations echoed in the air, while silver-white ancient runes started appearing in the sky . Healing, Protection, Curse, Instant Death, and other such magic spells activated as the dark city was surprisingly covered in a shield of light . This was enough to make anyone's eyeglasses fall off in surprise… if the undead needed eyeglasses .
Yongye City was a floating city with an area of twenty-one square kilometers . If you only looked at its area, it could only count as a small- to medium-sized city . However, it came complete with alchemy laboratories, potion laboratories, mage towers, and all similar facilities . I had created it using the Cloud Tower's most basic blueprints on floating cities .
The city's population was a grand total of three… myself, Harloys, and Mars . If you counted the Goddess of Order, I suppose you could stretch it and say the population was four . That was because Yongye City typically remained within my personal Hell dimension . As another part of Hell, its aura of death wasn't something that any ordinary mortal could tolerate .
What I was the proudest of was the fact that the entire building cost for this city was only five thousand gold coins!
That was right, you didn't read wrong . It didn't cost five million gold coins, or five thousand platinum coins . It cost a mere five thousand gold coins!
"…It's nice to have so many friends . Everyone is a good person that loves to help out . "
"Don't you actually mean that you're the most shameless person who's ever lived? Are you certain that your friends won't actually hunt you down to the end of the world?"
"Haha, haven't you noticed how I've been concealing my identity? They'd have to find me first . "
The base city was a floating city that I obtained through Wind Elemental God Camdian's Winged Tribe . The main mage tower was actually Undead Emperor Aso's mage tower from the Mage Country . One sub-tower was a Soul Summoning Tower that I'd personally constructed out of Harloys' and Amelia's inheritances from the Mage Country . As for the all the main facilities such as experimental laboratories and the equipment within, I had robbed— I meant, borrowed them long-term for free from certain warm and friendly mage organizations .
There were so many robbery victims of such high levels that this incident had set a new record for robbery in history . This was also one of the main reasons why the gold reward on the wanted posters for catching me had increased at such a furious rate . It was said that after I finished, the Cloud Tower and Xiluo Empire had to completely redraw the maps of their mage districts . Similar angry roars of rage could be heard everywhere there .
"Roland, you won't die a good death! You… it would have been fine if you just stole a few scrolls and spellcasting ingredients, but you actually stole my entire residence and mage tower!"
Bystanders found it quite difficult to understand why all the super-famous archmages, great liches, and wise scholars suddenly ignored their public image and kneeled in public while crying and roaring in rage at the heavens . But at the very least, the name Roland was now all mages' worst nightmare as public enemy number one .
Cough, I should really stop mentioning such an annoying part of the past . It was all their fault for setting so many magical traps and mechanisms . Since it was too much of a bother to circumvent them, I simply took their entire homes… Cough, cough, getting back to the main topic, as a mage, how could I not have a mage tower for myself? After the bothersome creation of Hell was finally over with, I finally had the time to create a flying home for myself .
And since this was my first personal mage tower, of course I wouldn't create it out of random odds and ends . If I created one, I wanted the very best! So I would steal, and steal the very best!
"The magical library? And the mega-large astrology prophecy observatory?"
"Margaret— I meant, a certain saint donated it to me . At any rate, she hasn't had the time to read for such a long time already, so I'm putting it to good use for her sake . "
"The astronomy observatory and large-scale replica of the constellations?"
"The Fate God Church donated it to me . They were truly such nice people . Besides, their True God has now joined as a Hell God, so Catio won't be observing the stars to make any prophecies anymore . "
"…Are you really sure that directly taking the main astronomy observatory in their church headquarters at the Cloud Tower counts as them donating it to you? Are you certain that the Riddle Knights (the Fate God Church's version of Holy Knights) going crazy looking for you everywhere are looking for you just to thank you for your kindness? Do you dare to have a personal chat with the God of Fate Catio himself?"
"Of course… not . Hey, isn't this all because you strongly requested a nice astronomy observatory? My prophecy magic skills are so garbage . I wouldn't need such a high-quality astronomy observatory if it wasn't for your needing one . If I'm the main culprit, you're an accomplice!"
The silly cat fell silent for a moment . She then changed the topic to the tallest sub-tower in Yongye City .
"That Soul Summoning Tower? Well, I suppose that was one of the only things you've obtained legitimately because Lionheart was willing to give it to you . A gigantic Soul Summoning Tower that's more than three hundred meters tall? Just one soul summoning could probably empty all the graveyards in an entire country . He actually gave you such a large-scale weapon to play with? He really spoils you too much . "
"What do you mean, spoils me too much? This is my personal charisma! Little Lionheart respects and trusts me, and believes that I'll put this tower to good use! This is trust! Do you understand?"
"Trust? Then what's this shield of Holy Light around Yongye City? You took the entire Saint Laivent Cathedral from the Church of Holy Light! Since when did you and Pope Caloma have a 'trusting' relationship? And, if I'm not mistaken, that ancient Tree of Life should belong to the wood elves . "
Previously, I had obtained the blueprint for the original Cloud Tower from my System . But, actually, Yongye City's functions far surpassed the original Cloud Tower's . That was because each and every single part of this mage tower was the best quality in this world .
