Ouroborus Clan Headquarters. 

Upon hearing Leylin's words, Gilbert stared blankly at him for a while, and then started laughing heartily. "I will accept your gift then!"

Leylin was currently sitting with Gilbert, he was here in the headquarters to trade a fourth grade magic scroll with him. Leylin has been accumulating contribution points to buy the scroll that can inject life into constructs. His credits has been remarkable and his importance as well as position is quite firm in the clan after 3 years of constant work. His strength is also very formidable so, he had the rights to make the purchase. In addition to this Leylin also threw in some of his personal collection as a gift to Gilbert which only improved his mood. 

"Thank you, mentor!" Gratitude was apparent on Leylin's face as he bowed.

"Sure! Of course." Gilbert laughed. With his current contribution point Leylin could definitely buy the fourth grade magic scroll but he still choose to gift some items to Gilbert, obviously these aren't very precious but it was still very good and Gilbert understood his meaning and accepted the gesture. 

Gilbert swept his hand across the table top. The gifts on the table vanished, and a grey scroll covered in simple floral designs appeared.

"Thank you, Mentor!" Leylin received the scroll and expressed his thanks again, this time with more sincerity.

"It has been sometime since I guided you..." Gilbert nodded as he decided to help Leylin, afterwards Leylin was able to get lots of knowledge from Gilbert, although Leylin has plenty of information about the point mass, knowing more could never hurt. Gilbert wasn't just a descendent Warlock who reached Morning Star Magus status through the maturation of Bloodline. His Knowledge and understanding of this realm is remarkable and Leylin could say for sure that the gifts were well spent. 

After coming outside, Leylin examined the scroll in his hands, satisfaction written on his face. "It really is a fascinating structure!"

Next day, Mahakaal Castle.

Construction had been completed in the last three years. The entire structure was built out of sturdy granite, and was reinforced by earth-elemental spells that closed up the gaps between the underlying rocks. From the outside, the entirety of Mahakaal Castle looked grand and expansive, exuding a feeling of deterrence. This was the core of Leylin's territory.

With the amount of reinforcement it had gotten, Mahakaal Castle could last a few thousand years at the least.

The castle was carpeted in cashmere. Silver cups and golden lampstands were everywhere. The place was filled with a flowing light, and its luxury was something few royal palaces could rival.

If a commoner were to use the castle, it might have stirred up criticism and attacks from other jealous leaders. But since the lord of the castle was a strong Magus, there would be no problem.

The strength Leylin possessed was enough to let anyone with negative intentions despair. The people would only compliment the nobility of its lord, and not for a moment have any designs on it.

"Anna is really good at this, I am pretty sure there would be an exquisite Throne waiting somewhere for me too." Leylin laughed as he slowly walked into the castle.

He looked at the castle's surrounding farmland. A lot of it was already being cultivated, and large windmills were turning slowly as farmers cleared the earth of weeds.

These were slaves he had previously purchased, with a portion of them being leaders.

In the process of the construction of the castle, a portion of the outstanding slaves and citizens had received rewards in the form of land. Since then, they had settled down and built a relatively prosperous area.

Soldiers and tall knights patrolled the place from time to time.

Kubler appointed and nominated some workers and helpers to oversee politics and military matters respectively they had exhausted their time and effort into building a foundation over here due to the temptation of status and territory. At least in Leylin's eyes, the Mahakaal Castle looked more or less like a Royal' palace.

"Welcome home, my Lord!" Once they neared the main gate, Kubler quickly hurried out. He was wearing a butler uniform and looked very energetic. Anna, Lita and Ivy were also standing behind him. 

"Mmm! Well done!" Leylin nodded his head slightly, and acknowledged Kubler's work, Although Anna had lots of understanding in these things, his help was very welcoming and his contribution were also remarkable. 

"Lets go, follow me. I want to look at the progress on the Magus Tower!"

Leylin had invested in the Magus Tower more than ten thousand times what he had invested into Mahakaal Castle! He would naturally devote minimal attention to it, instead electing to let the A.I. Chip scan progress reports every now and then.

"As you wish, Master!" Kubler followed Leylin in his rightful position. Meanwhile, Anna, Lita and Ivy assumed both of Leylin sides. 

A small distance from Mahakaal Castle, atop a mountain, was a huge piece of construction land with various workers running about.

Because they were building a Magus Tower, they could no longer use ordinary human slaves. Ordinary humans were useless when it came to certain special construction materials, not to mention the possible contamination caused by long-term contact with such materials. Even with a purification tower, ordinary human slaves would perish within a short period of time!

"Hurry! Quicken your pace! Or else there won't be any alloy rods for dinner tonight!" A youthful Warlock with an iron whip in his hands was shouting in a strange language.

Warlock acolytes, and even some formal Warlocks, were doubling up as foremen and architects in the construction site, rushing a few strange slaves to speed up their work.

These slaves were large in stature, with hard skin the colour of stone.

These slaves were from the Stone tribe. Leylin had previously deciphered a book written in the Turin language from the pocket dimension of the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect. In it there was content left behind by the craftsmen of the Stone tribe.

The Stone tribe was a type of human race. Because of their naturally large stature in addition to their stony exteriors that were as powerful as defensive spells, they could be said to have tough bodies. They were the species ancient Magi favoured to be construction slaves. Much of the construction in the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect was done by them.

The members of the Stone tribe spoke in the Turin language, mentioned by the young Warlock, which was a difficult one to learn. Still, for Magi, it was no big deal.

The Stone tribe existed in Twilight Zone and the south coast, they are present here as well, being sold as high-class slaves!

For the construction of the tower, Leylin bought a large batch of these slaves. It cost him no small amount!

Leylin's arrival naturally attracted the attention of some Magi. Not long after, an extremely good-looking and youthful Magus came before Leylin and bowed respectfully, "Master!"

What was shocking was that his voice sounded extremely aged, which was not consistent with his appearance.

"Rise, Parker! What's the progress on the construction of the tower?"

In his three years in the Ouroboros Clan, it was not as if Leylin had done nothing but brew potions.

Through the support of Robin and a few other seniors, he'd gathered a few henchmen and organisations under him.

In the Ouroboros Clan, it was a fixed tradition for lower-ranked bloodline Warlocks to support higher-ranked bloodline experts.

Leylin was a pure-blooded Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlock, and even had a Morning Star mentor. He could be said to have boundless potential, and it was obvious that some Warlocks would want to side with him. 

Frankly speaking, Leylin couldn't be bothered with recruiting warlocks but not doing this would be like alienating from the clan traditions so, Leylin choose to select a small batch of servants. It's not like anyone dislike some powerful vassals at their beck and call anyway. 

"The entire structure of the Magus Tower has been completed, we're just left with a few cores and most importantly, the activation of the spirit of the Tower! These are awaiting your completion."

Parker had experienced much in his life and knew what could be done, and what could not. 

Leylin couldn't help but turn towards the construction site.

A tall black spire had already taken shape, possessing a vast power within, as if making its presence known to the whole world.

Parker continued with his report. "Also, we have already stocked up on many of the materials to create the elemental reactive pool and garden."

"Good! On my way back from the headquarters, I obtained the Scroll of Life. Under my orders, prepare to begin work. I would like my Magus Tower to be completed immediately!" Leylin gave his orders indifferently.

"Your wish will be executed!" Parker replied. All the preparations for construction were already complete, and the other core materials had already been prepared too. All was left was to wait for Leylin to return and take the lead.

Wandering in his own Magus Tower, Leylin examined every corner carefully.

The interior of the Magus Tower was very spacious. Leylin created all of it according to the highest standards, with a complete set of facilities that looked refined and luxurious.

Leylin looked at level after level, especially the positive and negative energy reactive pools, along with other places such as the laboratory, the binding room, and the ecological garden.

"A.I. Chip! What are the results of the scan?" While looking around his tower, Leylin did not forget to let the A.I. Chip fully scan and record the decorations and spell formations that he saw before conducting an inspection.

The A.I. Chip sent feedback faithfully.

As the blueprint of the structure was originally done by Leylin himself, using the A.I. Chip's perfect deductions, the decorations of the entire Magus Tower were perfect, almost to the point that no fault could be found.

The remaining areas that could be further optimized were only small problems that resulted from improper construction and other reasons. No matter how perfect his plan was, as long as it was executed by humans, accidents were bound to happen. Leylin had long prepared for this.

Since the Magus Tower was yet to be completed, he could still take the chance to amend it now. If he waited until the defensive spell formations were activated, especially after the tower genie had been awakened, then he wouldn't be able to amend anything even if he wanted to.

"A.I. Chip! Design an improved version of the blueprint according to what I said earlier!"

Leylin had always liked to put the A.I. Chip in charge of the nitty-gritty things, while he himself was responsible for directing the big picture.

[Task established, adjusting original blueprint! Adding in simulated environment parameters from ancient times, beginning formation of the blueprint…]

The A.I. Chip operated swiftly and projected a new blueprint in front of Leylin within a few minutes.

Leylin scanned the blueprint many times, satisfied with the blueprint made by the A.I. Chip.

To maximize the use of the original resources and set-up, he just have to add a few items and spell formations. 

He now had numerous subordinates and a huge number of Stone tribe slaves. Once he handed down the task of amending the place, it would only take a small number of people working in shifts day and night for ten days to complete it.

Leylin stood at the side of the negative energy reactive pool on the lowest level, and examined the complicated spell designs. At the radiance of the pure gold, silver and other precious materials, his face showed no signs of sadness or joy, maintaining tranquility.

[Simulation of the spell formations of the entire Magus Tower complete, 341 dummy runs, number of malfunctions: 0!]

The blue glow of the A.I. Chip flashed in the depths of Leylin's eyes.

"Begin!" Leylin exhaled gently, and placed a piece of compressed energy crystal that was emitting immense light rays and heat, much like a miniature sun, into a groove at the heart of the spell formation.

*Brr!* The entire spell formation started to shake, and ring after ring of runes appeared out of thin air. Traces of light circulated on the spell formation.

"Start!" Leylin's spiritual force extended and connected with the spell formation.

In the instant when the spiritual force came into contact with the spell formation, Leylin felt as though he had opened a valve, causing a multitude of energy particles to be frantically absorbed by the spell formation, before passing through a complex conversion channel and flowing into the negative energy reactive pool.

Meanwhile, outside the Magus Tower, Parker, Kubler, Lita, Anna, Ivy and Leylin's other subordinates had all gathered to watch this scene, their eyes all brightly lit.

A huge elemental wave seemed to form a vortex that was absorbed by the black Magus Tower.

One by one, the magical runes on the body of the Tower lit up, bringing about frightening and yet stable waves, firmly connecting to one another.

Only Leylin was in the Magus Tower at that moment. He ran to the top of the Magus Tower at the speed of lightning and saw that the external appearance was almost the same, but the spell formation and storage pool gave off an entirely different vibe.

"Next, the positive energy reactive pool!" Leylin pushed the same high energy crystal into the groove, and the same activation spell appeared from Leylin's hands, merging into the four walls.

*Boom!* At the top of the Magus Tower, a huge elemental wave practically condensed into a physical substance, energy particles of various colours emitting brilliant lights and vibrant colours. They quickly subsided into two rainbows, one bright and one dark.

Soon after, the bright rainbow was absorbed by the peak of the Tower, while the rainbow with a hint of gold submerged into the ground.

The positive energy reactive pool buzzed continuously, the elemental liquids within accumulating further and further until it finally reached the middle mark.

Two spheres of light that resembled stars emitted from the peak and underground of the Tower, spreading continually across the structure. Numerous runes lit up one by one, and finally converged at its centre.

[Magus Tower spell formation fully activated! Currently operating well!] the A.I. Chip pointed out.

At that point, Leylin was standing on the point of intersection of the positive and negative energy reactive pools. An unadorned scroll covered in bizarre floral designs appeared in his hands.

"Fourth-grade magic— the Scroll of Life!"

"A.I. Chip, prepare to inject knowledge into the being!"

Leylin ripped open the grey scroll, and rays of light burst out. Suddenly, a terrifying attractive force was transmitted from the scroll. The Crystal Phase spiritual force of his consciousness was consumed in huge quantities, and the process only came to a gradual stop when it was close to being exhausted.

1. 8% of the main structure of the Magus Tower has been scanned. Defence spell formation operation intact, areas that can still be further optimized: 2!

Of course, with how much of his wealth Leylin had expended on this, the power of the activation spell was not to be belittled.

A circle of sparkling starlight shrouded the tower. Numerous runes flickered in sync and breathed at the same rate, as if having lives of their own.

A faint blue figure began to form in front of Leylin. "Master, this tower genie is here to serve you!"

This tower genie had been branded by Leylin's spiritual force upon its birth.

In addition, it was one with the Magus Tower, and could help Leylin take care of any minute details that might be difficult to find.

"Alright. Here's my first mission. Accept this and fuse with it!" A multicolored seed shot out from between Leylin's eyebrows and quickly entered the blue tower genie's figure. 

A multitude of data flowed across the tower genie's eyes, and a tremendous amount of complicated information even caused the newly-formed tower genie's figure to flicker, as it eventually turned into a ball of light.

By the time everything had stabilised, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice was produced from within the blue ball of light, [Digitization complete. The A.I. Chip system is now serving you. Please choose the exterior appearance.]

"Dark Elf!" Leylin didn't really got to enjoy a lot of company of dark elves back in Twilight Zone but he grew found of them, especially their company in bed so, he choose a dark elf on a whim. 

The blue ball of light shook, and eventually formed a brown elf the size of a human head, with a pair of shining pointy ears. 

"I'll call you Flair in the future." Leylin nodded, very satisfied with this intellectual body's external appearance.

"Understood. Flair greets Master!" The dark elf bowed, though its facial expression looked mechanical.

[Beginning networking.] Such an expression actually pleased Leylin more. What he needed was an absolutely rational manager, and from the very beginning, he had not built in any emotional functions. He doesn't need any woman for pleasure he has got aplenty of them, he wants only usefulness from a Tower genie. 

With this command, a data interface connected Leylin's A.I. Chip with the elf using a stream of spiritual force.

[Beginning synchronizing of data. In the midst of tidying up] The A.I. Chip's voice sounded.

[Discovery of inharmonious spiritual force waves at three areas. Beginning elimination.] [Fusion with tower genie completed. Activation of anti-probing spell formation at full force.]

One after another, these prompts popped up, and the smile at the corner of Leylin's mouth grew more pleasant. 

Regular tower genies definitely lacked the terrifying calculation abilities of the A.I. Chip. The area that it could manage would only include the interior of the Magus Tower.

However, with what he was doing, not only could he control the interior of the Magus Tower from a distance away, he could even completely eliminate any damages that would otherwise have been hidden.

After fusing with the program that the A.I. Chip had duplicated, the tower genie had now become more intelligent, able to autonomously search for holes and repair them, and even take care of a few flaws or defects that had originally been there.

It could be said that even if Grand Duke Gilbert had done anything to the rank 4 scroll, it would have been pointless.

This was because Leylin had already modified the tower genie's structure with things of his own.

"Hah…" Leylin took in a long breath.

The construction of the Magus Tower, particularly the completion of the positive and negative energy reactive pools, now allowed the interior of the Magus Tower to have ten times the elemental particle concentration as outside.

The concentrated energy particles could even be seen with the naked eye, and for Magus eyes this was even more apparent. Leylin felt like he was surrounded by an elemental ocean.

The particle concentration in the central continent had already been very high, and that of this Magus Tower far surpassed that..

It could be said that in this environment, If someone progress in their meditation technique, it would not be too slow even if they did not use any potions. What was more frightening was that even trashy acolytes with a level 1 or 2 aptitude could break through their own limits and become official Magi if they studied and meditated here!

Leylin has already decided in the past that unless there was anything terribly important, he would stay and settle down in the Magus Tower.

Outside the tower.

Parker and the others could not feel all this as keenly as Leylin, but after there was a rumble from the entire Magus Tower and it started emanating faint light, everyone still began to cheer. Even Kubler had shining tears at the corner of his eye.

A Magus Tower was a representation of strength in the central continent.

With a Magus Tower, and a Magus like Leylin who was viewed highly, multiple regular Magi with Crystal phase spiritual force would not dare trespass in this area. In addition, with the large-scaled monitoring abilities of the Magus Tower, the rate of crime would definitely be lowered.

This signified that Leylin's power was secured, whether among mortals or Magi.

As a result, all the vassals who depended on Leylin were extremely moved.

*Boom!* At this moment, with the sound from a power switch, the entrance to the Magus Tower opened up, revealing Leylin's figure.

"It's finally done. Come in and take a look!"

"Many thanks, Master!" A few Warlocks immediately bowed. They had contributed to the construction of the Magus Tower, and naturally wished to take a look at it.

"Ah! The concentration of the particles!" Upon entering through the entrance, they were immediately shocked by the terrifying concentration of particles in the Magus Tower.

Leylin had set up this Magus Garden like those of ancient times. Though he had yet to transplant any plants here, some vegetation and precious plants were already growing lushly.

A green light shone down. All this was the accumulated life energy that had come from activating the Magus Tower, giving the vegetation a huge boost in nutrition and vitality.

With the positive energy pool, the entire Magus Tower's water circulation uses the purest water elemental particles and turns them into water that is purified to the highest degree. The yield from this Magus Garden would be enough to provide for thousands of people if the incoming energy stays at its peak. 

With the bonus from the Magus Tower, he could obtain a strength unmatched by a Magus with Crystal Phase spiritual force, and even provide for over five thousand people in the tower!

With this ability and self-sufficiency, it would be considered an extremely frightful large fort in times of war.

The Magus Tower was a terrifying war machine, and its amazing strength was enough to obstruct any attempts at spying on them.

"This is my future base and I would be taking the next step in my strength here!" Leylin sighed in his heart, but a smile then appeared on his face. "To celebrate the completion of the Magus Tower, I will hold a feast in Mahakaal Castle tonight. Let us all revel!"

.... 

An intoxicating clamour spread throughout the room.

It was now night.

In the large Mahakaal Castle, candles and oil lamps were used everywhere to illuminate the area. There were even illumination spells such as Eternal Light in several areas, filling the interior of the castle with light. From afar, the castle was like a large, dazzling column of fire, overflowing with radiance and heat.

Mahakaal Castle was filled with scenes of jubilation, with many female singers, dancers and entertainers presenting their art with all the energy they could muster. Waves of delicacies and fine liquor were constantly sent to the feast like running water.

As this was in the form of a family banquet, the rules were lax, and even regular nobles were invited.

Though the Warlocks had formed a circle of their own, they were not repelled by the clamour outside. All faces were brimming with smiles, full of hope for the future of their territory.

The Mahakaal Castle was holding a banquet to celebrate Leylin's Magus Tower completion

It was, of course, a gathering of Warlocks. The only ones invited had been Robin, a few other seniors, and other members of the Ouroboros Clan that Leylin had connections with.

This was another tradition of the central continent. Leylin originally should have held the banquet upon the completion of Mahakaal Castle, but he had decided to delay until the Magus Tower had been built completely so he decided that he might as well hold a banquet to take care of both obligations.

In the wide hall, large chandeliers hung up high from the ceiling, radiating a bright glow that was a mixture of spells and man-made flames.

The numerous Warlocks were all gathered in a hall. Since Leylin's status was pretty high, there were many Warlocks who attended the event.

Furthermore, because of the added value of their bloodline, all the Warlocks had were good looking, and even the old men looked handsome.

Many female Warlocks wore gowns with plunging necklines, revealing their snow-white back and cleavage, whereas the male Warlocks wore black swallow-tailed coats. From time to time, they would talk over a drink or invite the females for a dance.

At the corner of the large hall, a band was performing with all their energy, and next in line were poets and dancers.

"Haha… Leylin, I knew you would succeed! Your Magus Tower is really beautiful and amazing! This is one of the best if not the best Magus tower except the three Lord's ones." Robin laughed dramatically.

Given how high this junior's innate talent was, he was becoming increasingly important to the short Warlock.

Even at the banquet, the differences in ranks between the various Warlocks was very obvious. The few rank 3 Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlock Marquises, including Leylin, had gathered in a circle and none of the other Warlocks would dare to interrupt them. A few rank 1 or rank 2 Warlocks with pure bloodlines had the fortune to listen at the side, but even they had no right to speak.

With regards to the other circles, Leylin needed only to make a toast and say a few words, but the guests in this circle required his personal accompaniment.

Not only were there seniors like Robin, Lucian and Kesha around, there were a few merchants whom they had good ties with along with their children. They were essentially his Mentor, Duke Gilbert's, influence, and hence good connections would have to be made.

Speaking of which, Leylin was more familiar with them, and had held a few transactions with them, and even coordinated on some experiments.

"This is the younger generation of my family. Come and see Uncle Leylin!" Kesha called forth two of her nephews and nieces. Those two youths though looked a bit reserved and flushed, but still respectfully bowed and said, "Uncle Leylin!"

"Mmm! Hello, you two!" Leylin smiled. He was not even a hundred years old. These two Warlocks with pure bloodlines, who were their family's hopes, were probably older than him!

"These two have a very rich bloodline within them, looks like they have a bright future ahead of them!" Leylin complimented, which had caused Kesha to beam with delight.

Behind Leylin stood Anna and Lita. Both looked extremely gorgeous and ethereal beauties. Their charm has ever mesmerized some Warlock who are generally know for their exquisite features. This was especially so for Lita because along with her beauty people could also feel extremely pure Kemoyin Bloodline. This made her extremely popular but no one has the guts to greet her because of her relationship with Leylin. 

Ivy wasn't present in the banquet because she isn't a fan of crowd and also Anna's recent breakthrough in the Bloodline Knight path has been pressuring her to do so herself. 

After enjoying a sumptuous meal together, Leylin returned to his bedroom accompanied by Anna and Lita. 

This was the most secure area in Mahakaal Castle. Not only were there many regular elite human troops patrolling, if one went further in, some specific detection spell formations and guard Warlocks would appear.

He closed his eyes inside his bedroom, and the general situation in the castle entered his vision.

The defence of Mahakaal Castle was not bad. Though it was far from perfect, it was impossible for rank 2 Magi to sneak in.

To truly make Mahakaal Castle a strategic stronghold against Magi, it might take over a hundred years to strengthen the defensive spell formations bit by bit. The radiation unwittingly given off by high-ranked Magi residing here has to affect the whole castle and strengthen it. 

The higher ranked a Magus was, the easier it was for them to affect their surroundings. Leylin knew that just by emitting the terrifying might of their bodies in the castle, Breaking Dawn Magi could affect the quality of the castle itself. The powerful members of the Magus World could even give the castle a life of its own, having it give birth to many strange creatures.

These were the best foundations in creating defensive spell formations. As long as one subdued the castle's spirit and enslaved all the strange creatures, the defence of the castle would reach its peak.

With his own radiation, he could achieve a similar effect. However, the time taken would be more than a century.

If numerous Magi were to reside here, this time could be shortened.

Hence, the older a Magus' castle, the more profound the strength of the defence. There would also be many strange occurrences that even the Magus family occupying the castle would not be able to explain.

Leylin calmed his thoughts and enjoyed the company of the two beautiful woman at night enjoying this remarkable night completely. Both of them has very good vitality and hence are the best partners for him. 

...

The moon hung high in the sky, silver moonlight spilling down. The night air held a chill to it and was just right for those who had consumed alcohol.

Of course, with Leylin's body, there were few wines that could get him drunk.

He came to the side of the Magus Tower. Here, due the superb detection abilities of the tower genie, the original guards had all been transferred out.

The entrance to the Magus Tower opened up with a rumble, welcoming its master.

Afterwards Leylin returned to his laboratory inside the deepest and most secure part of his Magus Tower. There he was looking at a beautiful stone which was radiating unique power. If anyone were to see this they would gape in shock as this is a piece of Astral Stone!
