Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 97: Star Magus
Xi Wei finally decided to build a Star Mage Tower.
Of course, this had nothing to do with flooding Winter Fort.
The main reason was that assassins could be cultivated.
But mages…
They were truly a case of a clever housewife having to cook without rice.
With this thought, Xi Wei no longer hesitated and summoned the system to get to work.
“System, give me a Star Mage Tower and place it behind the Dragon’s Lair.”
[Giao! Star Mage Tower has manifested]
Did something strange just get mixed in?
As soon as the system finished speaking, a tall tower-like building appeared behind the Dragon’s Lair.
At first, it was just a faint blue phantom, but it quickly condensed into substance.
Xi Wei couldn’t help but be a little impressed as he looked at the Star Mage Tower before him.
The Mage Tower was as tall as Winter Fort, making it the most majestic and magnificent of all the troop buildings so far.
It was entirely white jade in color, with seven brilliantly colored star trails encircling it from base to top, where faint stars could be seen twinkling within the trails.
Just looking at the appearance of the building was quite imposing. He wondered how good the Star Magus unit would be.
“System, why did your prompt tone just change?”
Xi Wei came back to his senses, and for some reason, he suddenly felt an urge to feed the system something unpleasant.
[To give the host a change of taste, the host need not worry. Disappeared.]
Emmm…
Never mind. Perhaps the system hadn’t been called by him for a long time and was lonely, so it came out to seek a sense of existence. He could understand that.
Xi Wei shook his head, walked to the front of the Star Mage Tower, and began to try and establish a connection.
[Recruiting a Star Magus requires 5000 Villain Points, 500 Gold Coins, and a magic staff of at least Fine Grade.]
[When using players as materials for recruitment, 1000 Villain Points, 50 Gold Coins, and a magic staff of at least Fine Grade are required.]
“Hiss…”
Xi Wei gasped.
The recruitment cost of a Star Magus was more than five times that of a Venom Dragon, and it also required a Fine Grade magic staff as a summoning medium.
Expensive things weren’t necessarily good, but good things were definitely not cheap.
For example, the Gale Black Milk he gave Loli and Ruo Yi every day was produced and sold by himself. This milk was very expensive, pure natural and pollution-free, but its effects were very good.
The complexions of the two maids were becoming more and more radiant.
Therefore, Xi Wei was already full of expectations for the Star Magus.
As for the cost, the Players would help him solve it later. It was a small matter.
Before long, a soldier, at his command, brought a bag of gold coins and a Fine Grade staff.
Speaking of which, this staff originally belonged to Claudia and could now be used. He didn’t need to go to Enzo to have one made.
[Giao! Materials are satisfied. Do you want to summon a Star Magus?]
“…Summon it.”
Xi Wei touched his nose and gazed at the Star Mage Tower.
He originally thought that there would be a slot or something like before to consume the materials.
Then he found that this was not the case.
The top of the Star Mage Tower lit up with a soft white light, which then spread downwards, illuminating all seven surrounding star trails.
If it were night now, this scene would undoubtedly be very spectacular.
The gazes of everyone in Winter City would be drawn to this Mage Tower that “bulingbuling” like a Loli Sailor Moon’s transformation.
The soft light spread all the way to the base of the tower, illuminating the surrounding ground. Then, the gold coins and the staff were enveloped in a white light and disappeared with it.
“Click.” The door of the Mage Tower opened slightly.
An elegant girl wearing a red and white dress came out.
She walked up to Xi Wei and knelt on one knee, her voice as ethereal as the Milky Way in the night sky, and devoutly declared:
“Great King, your gaze is where the starlight falls. Your command is the direction of our fate.”
“Are you a Star Magus?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Xi Wei looked at the girl before him with some astonishment. This was the first time he had recruited a female troop. Did all Star Magus have to be female?
Then, wouldn’t male players who changed their class equivalent to undergoing a sex change?
It sounded stimulating.
However, the system broke Xi Wei’s fantasy at this moment.
[Giao! The gender of Star Magus system units is randomly male or female, or can be chosen by the host. When players change classes, it will be based on the player’s chosen gender.]
“I see, that’s really boring… Pfft! That’s good then.”
Xi Wei tidied up his inappropriate thoughts and refocused his attention on the Star Magus.
Although more than half of the girl’s face was hidden by the white hood embroidered with rose patterns,
it was not difficult to see that she was exceptionally beautiful.

However, Xi Wei’s focus was definitely not on this aspect. He was mainly looking at the Star Magus’s information panel:
[Name: Unnamed]
[Identity: Star Magus]
[Strength: Magus Level 48 (41-50)]
[Skills:
Blank Spell Slots (Unique): Star Magus has four spell slots for pre-stored spells. Upon promotion to Archmage, they will have five slots, and so on.
Star Guidance (Unique): Star Magus has the ability to communicate with the power of the stars, allowing them to guide stars to fall and explode. The size of the guided stars is related to the Star Magus’s strength.
Star Gravitational Shield (Unique): A gravitational shield constructed using the power of the stars, which can effectively absorb various losses and distort the trajectory of spells. The strength of the shield is related to the Star Magus’s strength.
All-Attribute Spell Mastery: Star power can construct all spell systems except for the Undead system, but the casting time is longer than that of ordinary mages. This is the only drawback.]
[Equipment: Star Staff (Fine Grade), Star Robe (Fine Grade)]
[Eagle Territory Reputation: 1 (You are the only emperor star in the hearts of all Star Magus)]
…
Admittedly, this was a very powerful mage unit, worthy of its high recruitment price.
And their appearance was also very good.
From now on, he would recruit only female Star Magus system units.
Even if they didn’t do anything, just having them around would be pleasing to the eye, right?
Unlike the Priests, who were all buff guys.
Furthermore, Xi Wei also discovered that these Star Magus had higher intelligence.
Perhaps because they were stronger, they were not as rigid as Crusaders and Sharpshooters.
“From now on, your name will be Xing Yi. As the leader of all Star Magus, I hope you can become the strongest magical force in Winter City.”
“As you wish, Your Majesty.”
Xi Wei nodded.
He needed to go find Enzo to craft a batch of Fine Grade staffs to form a Star Magus Legion that belonged entirely to him, and then slowly open up the class change opportunity to the Players.
Now, after a series of events, Xi Wei felt that he could give the Players some more benefits.
