Immediately, he took out the blueprints he designed, and the two exchanged their designs to examine each other's work.
Looking at the blueprints designed by Albert, Daniel couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Truly, as the most famous Alchemist, his designs were flawless; even with Daniel's discerning eye, he couldn't find any faults.
The only regret was that Albert's blueprints were somewhat rigid in thought, adhering to the traditional Wizard Tower design. In contrast, Daniel's blueprints were not meant for future use; they were purely intended to win this war.
He had never considered keeping the Fire Element Pool on top of the Flame Throne. Once he became a Formal Wizard, he would dismantle it to create a true Wizard Tower.
What surprised Albert even more was that he had never imagined Daniel could design such excellent blueprints, which could be described as perfect.
Especially the concept prepared for war, which completely aligned with the current situation.
"You, you, you—how did you come up with such a design? It's amazing! Let's follow your blueprints and get started."
Albert was genuinely impressed; in an instant, he was completely captivated by Daniel's designs and felt subservient to him.
A person like him looked down on everyone, even daring to disregard Formal Wizards. However, when faced with someone more capable than himself, he would yield faster than anyone else without a hint of resentment.
"That won't do. I think your blueprints are also fantastic. Let's reference each other’s work and design the best blueprint possible to ensure the Wizard Tower is made perfectly."
"Alright, we'll take your blueprints as the main reference and redesign a new set."
"Thank you for your help."
Daniel did not refuse, but he knew the sacrifices Albert had made for this.
As a very proud person, it was a huge sacrifice and humiliation for him to have to use someone else's designs after putting so much effort into his own that went unused.
If it weren't for the fact that he truly respected Albert, he would never have accepted it.
He felt both moved and proud; to be able to impress such a proud person in his area of expertise was something to take pride in.
The two of them discussed the two sets of blueprints in order to find the most suitable solution.
They were unwilling to give in to each other, and occasional arguments could be heard. After a long time, they finally prepared the blueprints and called for people to start installing the Fire Element Pool.
In fact, installing the Fire Element Pool was not very difficult. The Flame Throne already had a power system designed to support the entire Floating Ship's flight. It was a device capable of converting Magic Stones into magical energy, and the Fire Element Pool could be installed there.
It wasn't that the Magic Stone conversion device was ineffective; in fact, its efficiency was quite high.
The problem was that Magic Stones were expensive, and using them to support the operation of the entire Floating Ship consumed so many that even the Wizard Academy dared not use them frequently.
Now, with the use of the Fire Element Pool, this problem was solved. The Fire Element Pool could absorb fire element particles from the air and store them within, providing magical energy and effectively addressing this issue.
After installing the Fire Element Pool on top and trying it out, the Floating Ship flew smoothly, and everyone showed expressions of joy.
It seemed that the Wizard Tower now had its most important energy system and a rough exterior; all that remained were various Magic Arrays to maximize the capabilities of the Wizard Tower.
This was not something that could be completed in a day or two. If it were just the few of them, it would take a long time. Daniel discussed with Albert and decided to return to Aolek Fortress to gather everyone together to complete it.
As the Floating Ship flew steadily, everyone felt a sense of pride for being part of the construction of the Wizard Tower. Who else could achieve such a feat during their time as a Wizard Apprentice?
When the Floating Ship arrived at Aolek Fortress, Natalie excitedly pointed to the open space behind the castle and said, "Hurry, let's land! I want to show off."
Daniel shook his head.
"No, there are so many people at Aolek Fortress. Who knows if anyone has infiltrated? If they rush onto the Floating Ship, we would have a hard time dealing with it. It's better to let the Floating Ship hover in the air and lower a rope for those who need to come up."
"But relying solely on the fire element particles absorbed from the Fire Element Pool won't be enough to support the Floating Ship's stay. We also need to invest Magic Stones. Who has that many Magic Stones?"
"I've calculated that for every hundred Magic Stones invested, it will be sufficient for consumption. During wartime, this level of expenditure is not an issue."
Since Daniel insisted, no one opposed him. They lowered a long rope from the air, and Daniel climbed down to Aolek Fortress to select personnel for the construction of the Wizard Tower.
Little did he know that his caution would save the Wizard Tower from disaster.
Myles looked at the Floating Ship hovering in mid-air with a furrowed brow. Three days ago, Franklin had sent him a message.
Daniel had found a Fire Element Pool and was preparing to use it to build the Wizard Tower. Myles was instructed to gather all available forces and destroy the Wizard Tower before its completion.
He had secretly dispatched people to search for them; if they could find their whereabouts, that would be best. He would do everything possible to destroy it; if not, he would have to rely on others.
Myles took this very seriously. As the Apprentice Leader, he knew well how formidable the Wizard Tower was. He mobilized all available personnel and awaited Daniel's return.
But now, looking at the Floating Ship hovering 500 meters in the air, what could he do?
The attack range of magic is mostly between sixty to seventy meters. Even Daniel's specially designed long-range magic, "Professor's Endless Ring," after several improvements, now has an attack range of less than 100 meters, and that is when flying horizontally; the distance is even shorter when attacking upwards.
Let alone the magic of others.
No matter how hard he tried, there was no way to attack the Floating Ship.
Perhaps the High Magic Creatures flying in the air could pose a threat to the Floating Ship, but the only type of flying creature that they, as Wizard Apprentices, could access and tame was the Demonized Giant Eagle.
This was a type of High Magic Creature cultivated from the Angus Vulture, possessing the level of a Third-Level Apprentice.
It had a robust and powerful body, with limited wind-based spells such as Wind Blade Attack and Gale Tornado.
The problem was that the number of giant eagles was already scarce, and the Wizard Tower did not keep many; they were not all theirs, so there was no way to use them for this purpose.
With no other options, he could only wave his hand to let people go down and find a way to inform those who had infiltrated the Aolek Fortress to temporarily cease their actions.
When Daniel returned to the Aolek Fortress, he received a warm welcome from the personnel. He would smile and nod each time, appearing approachable.
