The First Legendary Beast Master - Chapter 1332 And The Right Magic
Chapter 1332 And The Right Magic
Dana never did manage to fully escape from the Beast God Acolytes, and ended up leaving a portal to the temple open when she returned, carrying a Gryphon puppy, with a Spirit Snake in her hair.
“I hear that we’re planning to… What did you do to the Academy?”
Karl waved to her, and the snake in her hair waved back, wiggling its head.
“I might have landed on it in dragon form. Things got a bit out of hand, but there is one surviving building, and the underground bunkers are safe. We even got to the generator back online, so the students are safe while they wait for us.
Tian volunteered to look for precious items in the rubble to put in the lost and found.” Karl explained.
“And what will the Academy do now that everyone is homeless?” Dana asked. “They won’t be for long. Rae is going to help us rebuild. Between me, Tian and Leo, we can come up with enough basic structure that we can make a whole new Academy.”
[Me? I don’t know that magic.] Leo replied.
[Don’t know that magic yet. I will talk to the dragons to get you plant growth type magic, so you can do the woodworking for us.]
The turtle nodded slowly. If that was how they wanted to do it, it wasn’t a problem. Tian and Opal were back now, and their magic would take care of most of the things. You didn’t need a lot of real wood when you could emulate it with advanced illusions.
Secure in the knowledge that he wouldn’t actually be asked to do an excessive amount of work, the Turtle floated out of his space to examine the rubble of the Academy firsthand.
[It doesn’t smell like salt here. This place is weird.] He decided.
[You’re over a thousand kilometres from the ocean. Of course, it doesn’t smell like salt water.] Hawk noted.
That was one of its best selling points.
As he floated over the rubble, Leo started to collect anything that didn’t look like building or furniture, just using gravity magic to pick it up and put it in his space.
There were a lot of little things in the dorm spaces, and as he sorted the rubble, he just kept finding more of them under the layers of stone.
The other buildings likely wouldn’t have much, but the job was surprisingly easy now that he had gotten started. They would be finished with the personal belongings long before the dragons were finished with the Library.
The Academy Library didn’t actually contain many valuable or rare tomes. Any of those that arrived here were specifically ordered for students who needed them. But there were large numbers of textbooks, reference materials, and other books that needed to be rescued.
Fortunately for Rae, she could work around the area where the Library was. [Karl, let’s get going. Start your spell thing.] She demanded.
[What do you even want me to start with?]
Rae sighed. [Right. One building at a time, we can’t do everything at the same time.]
In theory, it was possible. But trying to make that many buildings and the complex spells that would form their amenities, while also removing the rubble, was not a simple matter, and Rae’s focus bounced around too much for the formation of the spell.
Karl and Tian began with the elimination of the Rubble, using [Earth Manipulation] to turn it into the basis for the lower levels of the structures, while also digging the basements and the footings for the new towers. They would need to support a lot of weight, or the Academy would end up tilting, and that would be a whole new level of chaos.
With Mythic Rank magic, it was no problem to bring magically reinforced pillars up from the deepest bedrock, or to create a reinforced stone supportive grid to keep the buildings from breaking free of their anchors.
Later construction would have to work around it if they wanted to go deeper than where the existing underground structures were, but that was a problem for the next team.
With Rae’s guidance, they made the whole underground lattice, and then the pillars to support the entire complex first, before finishing the buildings that would make up the inner ring.
These were the classrooms, the boring areas.
Rae’s plan was that as people could be packed into their seats, these could be the smallest buildings, and they would be the least valuable structures if the tower was attacked.
They were also the easiest for everyone to make, as they were just stone boxes with lights and classrooms. There wasn’t even a good reason to build traps and fun stuff into them.
That let her finish them quickly and move on to connecting them with a walkway on the third level, then building the second ring.
This would be the first residential area.
If she made two rings of residential, she could make extra nice ones for the seniors and teachers, then an outer ring for the newbies and weak ones.
There were more of them than there were strong people, so they needed the bigger ring.
The staff of the Academy watched in awe as Rae began her work on the residential ring of the new academy design. Their expressions slowly turned from wonder to confusion, and back to wonder as the new Academy buildings were assembled by Karl, guided by the visions of the beasts, from the base structure out.
Fortunately for the technologically minded Golden Dragon Nation, this time Remi had learned basic architecture, so they weren’t just relying on magic and luck to keep the buildings intact.
If they had built them the way that they had built Drodh’s first upgraded development, there was a strong chance that none of the teachers would dare
to move in.
As it was, the teachers’ major concern was all the additional magic that Karl
was adding, and the dozens of rune carved stones that Leo was floating around and dropping into the basements of the new buildings before the structures
were added.
A little warning about what they might find when they moved in would have
been nice.
