The wind began to blow continuously towards this place. In Karun's personal perception, he sensed that the gathering wind brought many things that should not exist, at least not here. But now, they appeared to be real.
Looking down at his feet, the foundation had already been continuously built, as if the lines had been drawn on the ground long ago, and all that was needed was to fill it in along the route. However, Karun waved his hand and interrupted his attempt.
The foundation that was just taking shape also dissipated.
He wasn't deliberately hiding his talent. At this point, he didn't feel the need to hide anything. As long as he didn't present those things that shouldn't be presented, his pure talent would be his best cover.
The reason for the interruption was that a new idea came to his mind while "constructing" the foundation.
Some things, when seen from the outside, can easily give oneself a predetermined impression. But when one tries to do it themselves, they often find that there are other possibilities.
If the spell continues, he will most likely be able to summon a castle identical to the one Marvali summoned earlier.
But the one Marvali summoned seemed to be a standardized work of art.
Karun wanted a castle that suited the needs of his team and his aesthetics.
Within the limits of the conditions, he wanted to do his best. After all, there will be a matching of war equipment in the future.
Although the war equipment issued will most likely become disposable items within the Gate of Reincarnation, at least with professionals here, he can ensure that he has the right set for himself.
The items are already expensive, and Karun doesn't have the capital to experiment again in the future.
Seeing Karun's spell stop, Muri and his team members breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it didn't go to the extreme.
Muri patted Pasio's chest and said, "Let everyone hurry up."
"Yes, Captain."
...
"You scared me." Husen laughed, "I thought you had already learned it, but this talent is already impressive."
"Yes, that's right." Marvali replied casually.
Husen had never learned this spell because there was no need to learn it without permission.
So he didn't know that the biggest difficulty of this spell was in the foundation.
"Captain, you..." Blanche looked at the captain curiously.
Originally, the team members thought their captain was about to complete it, but just as they thought that, it failed.
Of course, being able to start right after reading the scroll was already very impressive.
"Well, I haven't decided yet," Karun said.
Bart asked, "Captain, how much of the remaining part are you prepared to take responsibility for? We can divide it among ourselves."
Bart had to ask this question again. Karun pointed to the scroll in Bart's hand and said, "Take a look."
This answer made everyone look at each other. Eslie leaned closer to Karun and asked in a low voice, "Captain, do you mean you have already..." "Yes." Karun didn't hide it, at least not from his subordinates. He said directly, "I'm usually very fast at learning spells. This is one of my small talents."
Mas was shocked, Blanche opened his mouth, Eslie and Bart nodded, and Wintura smiled happily.
"This scroll can be read ten times. Don't waste it. It's a very advanced spell. Although we can't use it without permission, reading it can increase our knowledge and experience."
Mas, come with me. I want to design the castle."
"Oh, okay, Captain."
Bart looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "Captain, should we read the scroll later and discuss the design together?"
"Increasing knowledge and experience, in this aspect, you guys have a rich background. The main problem is that you don't have permission. Without me, you can't cast the Black Prison Castle at all. It's better for everyone to participate in the design now. That way, you'll have a sense of involvement."
Wintura walked up to Bart and said, "Let me read it first."
"Okay, here you go." Bart handed the scroll to Wintura.
Next, Muri's team started reading the scroll in batches. After reading it, each person sat alone in a place, solemnly digesting and comprehending the content. On the other side, only Wintura was reading the scroll, while the others sat around Karun.
Karun held a branch in his hand and drew on the sand, while the people beside him kept giving suggestions.
Mas said, "Captain, I think we can add some details to the castle's defense, such as sacrificing aesthetics and directly carving defensive formations on the walls and exteriors of the buildings. What do you think?"
"It's a good idea, but it's difficult to implement. I think when we need to summon the Black Prison Castle, we must have encountered some kind of emergency. After summoning it, we won't have time to carve on the walls and building surfaces."
"Captain, what I mean is..." "I know what you mean. You mean to make it fixed from the beginning when summoning. But I can't do it, at least not now. It's too demanding for me. The mysterious artifact provided is for maintaining the existence of the castle, not for building it. We have to control the construction cost. I can't summon a castle and then be too tired to lie down."
"Yes, Captain, I was thinking too simplistically." "But I think it's possible to make small changes in the details. My suggestion is to give most of our team members room to play on the basis of the details."For example, using the 【Black Prison Castle】 summoned by the mentor as the basic model, we made some small modifications. We set up a "department" for all of you. Because I think that pure command and dispatching is enough with me alone standing in front of the black sphere. If it were another captain who made this arrangement, it would likely be seen as the captain excluding others. However, the members of Karun's team did not think so. After listening to Karun's words, everyone nodded in agreement. It is a real waste for everyone to stay in the command room.
"Then, when you choose your own positions and the designs you need, you can make some suggestions. If there are things that you can use but are burdensome, I can use my spiritual power or soul power to help you."
The power of the dispatched artifacts is the main part, but there is also a last mile problem. For example, the activation of the magic crystal cannon, from energy injection to launch, the technical issues in between need to be handled by a specialist or someone who has the qualifications to control it.
Karun's idea is simple, which is to make use of the form of the 【Black Prison Castle】 to bring out the strengths of each member of his team. At the same time, he can also share his most advantageous spiritual power and soul power to help them. Only in this way can the overall strength of his team be maximized and avoid the situation where he is the only one carrying five burdens.
"Captain, my idea is to make modifications to the position of the Res Magic Mirror in the castle and replace it with the B-level war weapon formation screen. The formation screen can be used for formation drawing and then projected, which can help me complete the formation more efficiently. However, I find it difficult to control it. But if I have your help, I think I can operate it."
"Okay, the specific details of the modifications will be provided by the equipment department."
"The modification details include this platform position, which needs to be larger."
"Do you need a larger open space?" "Yes."
"But if that's the case, the defense here will be weakened. I can't let you expand it outside the walls. How about reducing the height?"
"No problem, Captain. Reduce it to below the walls."
"I'll add a roof. What is the specific presentation of this formation screen?"
"After the formation is drawn on top, it needs to be unfolded."
"Then it can't be sealed... Can I design a flagpole for you? After you finish making it inside, you can raise it like raising a flag."
"That's possible, Captain." "Okay, that's the arrangement then."
Bart spoke up, "Captain, I suggest replacing the B-level war weapon Penetrating Crossbow with the C-level war weapon Tracking Repeating Crossbow. The Penetrating Crossbow has stronger power, but I think under the premise of being attacked by the main cannon, close-range attack methods should be more sustained and efficient. The Penetrating Crossbow has stronger power but weaker continuous output."
"Okay, what are the specific modifications?"
"Reduce the platform area, raise the position. In addition, I propose to equip two close-range shooting platforms, with the other one operated by Ventra. With the two of us, we can basically ensure that there are no blind spots. The Tracking Repeating Crossbow requires physical strength to string, and both Ventra and I have the physical fitness to do it."
"No problem." Karun nodded, "That's how we'll design it."
Eisley spoke up, "Captain, I need a cage of imprisonment. I don't know if this belongs to war weapons, but I only know that the summoned beast phantom inside can be greatly enhanced in a short period of time. Of course, I need your help to use it."
"Do you need a specific location for it?" Karun asked.
"Oh no, the cage is not big. It's mainly for the summoned beast to pass through for a moment." "Then put it in the command room." "Okay, Captain."
"Blanche, what are your requirements?" Karun asked.
"Captain, I don't need a separate position. It's enough for me to stand with you, but the only requirement is that there should be a connection from the command room to the area where they are, so that it's convenient for me to heal and bless them."
"No problem, that's a given."
After the positions and responsibilities of the other people were determined, Karun asked, "Are we still choosing the Judgment-level Magic Crystal Cannon as our main long-range output?"
Seeing no objections and no better suggestions being made, Karun nodded and said, "Then we'll keep the Judgment-level Magic Crystal Cannon."
I will personally take charge of guiding the firing of this cannon.
Husen came over to inquire about the progress and suggested that he could submit his own war weapon projects. They could be transported over now, and the mentor would decide whether it is appropriate and if there are better options after the two teams' 【Black Prison Castles】 are established.
Soon, both teams submitted the list of war weapons they needed. Eisley was in charge of submitting the list for Karun's team. After she came back, she quietly told everyone that she had peeked at the list of the neighboring team, and it was exactly the same as the castle summoned by the mentor earlier.
This means that the neighboring team completely copied the standard template, which made the members of their own team who had already made modification plans feel a sense of pride, a sense of superiority as top students.
Marvalio and Husen went to the surface of the sea, probably to guide the transportation of the war weapons. Karun guessed that the teleportation point should be inside the training base.
Seeing that the two of them were not around, Karun simply hid his left hand in his sleeve and summoned the 【Cube Key】 to help him with the detailed deduction.
By evening, a large cruise ship arrived, and the staff unloaded the cargo from it. Huge iron boxes with seals were arranged on the shore one by one.Karun looked at the three large iron boxes in front of the Muri squad, and then looked at Marvalio standing there.
Clearly, the war weapons requested by the Muri squad and the war machines summoned on the castle by Marvalio were the same, so shouldn't they have sent the three war weapons back at that time instead of transporting them back again after the cost was paid? Isn't this like taking off one's pants and farting?
When the iron boxes were opened, Karun saw that there were still some residual temperature marks at the muzzle of the sunglasses cannon, and there was a slight energy fluctuation on the penetrating crossbow...
Karun almost choked on his water. It turned out to be the same set that Marvalio used.
However, the people on the Muri squad were all serious. Karun believed that they must have realized this situation, but no one dared to ask or laugh because Marvalio was standing next to their squad.
Karun's squad also opened the boxes. The magic crystal cannon exuded a majestic aura. Karun walked forward and touched its barrel with his hand, and suddenly remembered a sentence in his mind:
This is the romance that belongs to men. The formation curtain was lifted, and Mas looked at this war weapon. Originally, he looked somewhat elegant, but now he showed a rare ferocious expression.
As a knight, he must have longed to personally control war weapons of this level. Now his dream has finally come true.
Bart and Ventula were constantly admiring the tracking repeating crossbow around them, while Aisley wiped the huge metal cage in front of her with her handkerchief.
What surprised Blanche was that a set of seven crystal beads connected together, called the "Priest Star Chain," was presented in front of her. This holy artifact can greatly enhance the effect of priest spells and is one of the basic equipment for the priest team in the knight order.
"Captain" Blanche was very surprised. Karun explained, "I added it to the list, but I didn't expect it to be really delivered."
"Thank you, Captain."
Looking at the team members who liked their "new toys", as the captain, Karun felt gratified.
After the class ended today and returned to the hotel, he would personally tell his team members that the "new toys" they were touching now would become disposable consumables inside the Gate of Reincarnation.
They may not lack pocket money, but their families cannot provide them with such a large amount of points to purchase these.
Therefore, if they want to truly own them, they need to work hard together with him, take on more tasks, earn more points, and save more!
After unpacking everything, Marvalio and Husen stood in the center. Husen spoke first, "Let's show the results. Let's try summoning the Black Prison Castle first. Which team wants to go first?"
"Our team will go first." Muri raised his hand and then looked towards Karun's side, shaking his head, "I really didn't expect to have so many additional things."
Karun smiled and said, "You can add them later!"
Muri and his six teammates gathered around Muri, and they started to use summoning magic together. Soon, a huge starlight appeared under their feet, the wind blew, the foundation gradually appeared, the buildings and walls slowly piled up, and finally, a small castle took shape in front of them. Blanche spoke, "Why do I feel that this castle..."
Aisley interrupted, "Looks a bit ugly."
The walls were uneven, and there were obvious discrepancies in some corners. The buildings inside were also distorted.
Karun felt that if he had just arrived on this island, he would probably mistake Muri and the others for paying tribute to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
In short, the entire building was filled with a rough style that distorted architectural theory, making people worry that even if no one attacked this castle, it might collapse on its own.
Muri and his team members were a little embarrassed. This was actually a problem that would inevitably occur when six people worked together to cast magic.
"In such a short time..." Marvalio spoke, "In such a short time, it's really good. Don't leave this island tonight, take the time to understand and adjust, and later, supper, breakfast, and energy replenishing potions will be delivered."
"Yes, mentor."
Marvalio then walked towards Karun's team.
Pasio poked Muri's arm and said, "I have a feeling that we might become foils."
Muri said, "Remove the 'might'."
Pasio complained, "So, why did you want to go first?"
Muri replied, "Because I'm worried that if they show it first, we will be even more embarrassed to bring it out."
Pasio pondered for a moment and said, "Captain, you are wise."
...
"Karun's team, it's your turn to summon." "Yes, mentor."
Karun spread his hands and saw that the other team members stepped back,
He said, "Let's do it together."
"Huh?"
Everyone was a little puzzled, but they obediently walked over and followed the same method as the Muri squad before, placing their hands on the captain's back.
In the next moment, a huge starlight appeared under everyone's feet, the wind blew, and the foundation appeared. The speed was similar to that of the Muri squad, but the rhythm and details were more calm. From the foundation to the walls and then to the buildings inside, everything was presented in a delicate manner.
This was a completely different castle from the standard model, with clear modified colors. It had only one building.
There was a space below this building, which was Mas's formation room. On both sides of the middle section of the building, there were two ballista launchers.
At the very top, there was a turret.
What's more, apart from the smooth modifications, the entire castle still retained its black hue. However, on the battlements and the roof, flying eaves were added.
The top cover was adorned with downward-facing carvings, maintaining a strict yet gentle beauty.
In short, this "Gothic" castle had instantly transformed into an "Eastern" fortress.
Paseo cursed, "Damn, they even got into artistic design."
Muri spoke up, "Don't blame yourselves, the gap lies in the captain."
On the side, Digate chimed in, "Captain, don't say that, we all know."
Mavalo spoke, "It's very well done." "Thank you for your praise." "May I go in and take a look?" "Of course, please."
Husen walked over, patted Karun on the shoulder, and then followed Mavalo inside.
Soon after, Muri also brought his team over, saying, "Um, we'll go together, together."
In fact, there was nothing special inside the castle. Because it was only one building, the interior was even more simple.
Soon, everyone gathered in the control room, the only place in the castle that could accommodate many people.
When Karun also entered the control room, he saw a small black sphere floating in the center. Mavalo pointed at it and said, "Touch it with your hand, and then use your authority to draw on the power of the artifact to maintain the operation of this castle.
"Yes, mentor."
Just as Karun was about to try to activate it, Mavalo interrupted him, asking, "Wait a minute, I have a question. Answer me first, what is this room used for?"
This room had a door. Before Karun came up, it couldn't be opened unless he used force.
In theory, doors were rarely used inside castle buildings. Because when a battle broke out, support, deployment, rescue, and other forces needed to flow at the fastest speed, opening and closing doors would be cumbersome.
"Karun, open it."
"Yes, mentor."
The door opened on its own.
Mavalo saw the layout inside, then closed the door again.
Husen didn't have time to go in and look, so he could only ask in a low voice.
"What's inside?"
"Bathroom."
The next chapter will be in the morning, don't stay up late waiting, read it when you wake up, hold on everyone!
