She was well aware of the difficulty of repairing ancient cores; it was something that ordinary craftsmen could not accomplish.
"Yes, they do have a unique talent for structural repair," Li Ang replied vaguely, attributing the credit to the non-existent dwarven craftsmen, and then continued, "Now, relying on the core, I have initially built a prototype of a workshop."
Eve nodded, accepting the explanation, after all, Leon had just returned from Ironforge and had close ties with the dwarven royal family.
He may indeed know several skilled royal artisans of the dwarven kingdom.
So Eve didn't waste time on that question and instead asked what she was more interested in: "A prototype? What exactly?"
"It's a stone chamber of about a hundred square meters, and the structure is fairly intact," Li Ang described truthfully.
Li Ang then stated the main purpose of his visit: "The workshop is currently located in a secluded area outside Riley City, and there is no suitable place to park it or carry out further construction. Therefore, I would like to ask my mentor if there is an area inside or around the tower where such a workshop can be parked, as well as the relevant management regulations."
"A hundred square meters?" This size was much smaller than she had expected, but it was reasonable, given that the thrust of an ancient core was limited.
She pondered for a moment and said, "There's an open space behind the tower, near the cemetery. It's not big, but it's more than enough to park a workshop of your size. The tower keeper will be responsible for the daily management and basic security there. I'll let the person in charge know in a bit. Just go there and park your car as instructed by the tower keeper."
"Thank you, mentor!" Hearing Eve's reply, Li Ang felt relieved and quickly thanked her. After all, with Eve's help, the procedures would be much simpler.
"Go ahead." Eve waved her hand, leaned back on the sofa, and then added.
"Come find me if you need anything else."
After leaving Eve's residence, Li Ang prepared to return to his dormitory first.
Although he could remotely control the core and make the floating workshop fly there on its own, the combination of unmanned operation and remote control was simply too astonishing.
In the end, he decided to make the trip himself and create the illusion of driving back to the workshop.
After returning to his dormitory and retrieving the [Gale 200], Li Ang went to the flight platform, mounted his broom, and soared into the sky, speeding towards the northeast. The powerful wind pressure around the broom was blocked by the [Gentle Breeze Barrier], and the scenery below rushed past.
In less than half an hour, the familiar unnamed lake came into view. The water was still clear, shimmering in the sunlight.
Li Ang then landed on the lakeside, his spiritual power spreading out and establishing a connection with the floating core that was submerged at the bottom of the lake.
"Buzz—"
Deep in the lake, a deep blue light suddenly shone, spreading out in gentle ripples through the water.
Immediately afterwards, a square, light blue outline broke through the water's surface and slowly rose, with water flowing down its smooth stone walls like a curtain, refracting a crystalline brilliance in the sunlight.
Soon, the 100-square-meter stone workshop was steadily suspended several meters above the lake surface.
The outer layer of light blue force field membrane swirls slightly, isolating it from water vapor and wind pressure.
Li Ang manipulated the workshop to lower its height and used his mental power to open the heavy door, which was also made of stone, and slipped inside.
The interior space of the stone chamber was exactly the same as when he last left.
One side of the stone chamber was piled with spare stones, while the other side was empty, with two six-armed guardian puppets standing in the corner like sculptures.
After closing the portal, Li Ang walked to the central control base. The upgraded LV9 [Floating Core] lay quietly in the groove, emitting a faint, dark blue light.
With a slight thought, Li Ang caused the workshop to tremble gently before accelerating steadily towards Riley City.
At first, the speed wasn't very fast, but as Li Ang gradually increased his output, the workshop's speed began to soar.
Surprisingly, this square stone box remained remarkably stable under the powerful thrust of the levitation core and the stabilization of the force field membrane, and its acceleration performance was also quite good.
Fifty kilometers – seventy kilometers – ninety kilometers – finally, in ten seconds, the speed of the floating workshop stabilized at around ninety-five kilometers per hour, which is higher than that of many military airships.
As Li Ang watched the blurry scenery rushing past the window, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. It was hard to imagine that something with such a clumsy appearance could reach this speed. The performance improvement brought about by the system upgrade was indeed extraordinary.
About an hour later, the familiar outline of Riley City appeared on the horizon.
Li Ang slowed down and maneuvered the workshop toward the area behind Lelita, the area that his mentor Eve had mentioned.
The residents of Riley City were already used to all sorts of strange and bizarre magical creations.
So when Li Ang's square, floating stone house appeared in the city, it only attracted a few curious glances and did not cause any sensation.
The workshop slowly approached the open space near the cemetery behind Leli Tower, and then a wizard attendant dressed in a servant's robe, who looked to be around forty years old, quickly walked up.
He had obviously been notified, and when he saw Li Ang's floating workshop, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face.
He first bowed in the direction of the workshop, then began to make hand gestures to guide Li Ang to land in a corner of the open space.
Under Li Ang's precise control, the workshop landed smoothly in the designated location. When the force field membrane at the bottom made contact with the ground, it made a slight "poof" sound. Then the light subsided, and the workshop sat firmly on the ground.
Li Ang opened the workshop door and stepped down. The tower guard immediately jogged forward to greet him and bowed deeply again: "Lord Li Ang, welcome. The master has already given instructions that this position will be yours from now on."
Please rest assured, with me here, I will absolutely not allow your workshop to suffer any damage.
His enthusiasm was almost excessive, clearly indicating that he knew Li Ang was not only Eve's disciple, but also a rising young genius in the tower and a captain with considerable power, so he was eager to show off.
Li Ang nodded and said calmly, "Thank you for your help. This is my potion workshop. I will be conducting potion making and related research here frequently in the future, so please take good care of me."
"Of course, of course!" The tower keeper nodded repeatedly. "It is my honor to serve you, sir. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Li Ang nodded, gave a few more brief instructions, and then left the berth to return to his dormitory in the tower.
As soon as he returned to his room, Nelson and Rodney came to greet him. Without saying a word, Leon instructed Nelson directly, "Nelson, take this badge of mine."
