If Altoria were merely a fairy, that would be one thing, but the issue was that she had also practiced magic herself.
As a fairy born different from the rest, Altoria’s strength came from training herself from a young age and undergoing magical training under the guidance of a "kind-hearted person".
Therefore, Altoria was also capable of using magic.
It was precisely because she could use magic that Altoria found what Reiger had achieved now to be all the more astonishing.
Unfortunately, Reiger was unable to sentiment.
"Don’t worry, you will also be able to do things I can’t in the future, and then it might be my turn to be surprised."
Reiger said indifferently.
"Let’s go, let’s go inside."
As he spoke, Reiger took the lead and walked towards the giant tower.
Seeing this, Altoria stood frozen in place for a long time before reluctantly following behind Reiger, walking towards the tall tower.
[Creation Fortress], as the name implies, was a magic used to create fortress-like structures, similar to [Advanced Item Creation] magic, belonging to the creation magic category.
This magic ranked tenth tier, and once used, it would make a massive, thick tower appear at the caster’s chosen spot, useful for resting or defensively against enemy attacks.
Since the tower was dubbed a fortress, its defensive power was naturally extremely high; even if bombarded with attacks from magic of the same tenth tier, it could indeed hold up for a period.
In "YGGDRASIL", there were even players who had tried to attack such fortresses with superposition magic, only to find out that apart from superposition magic specifically meant to destroy buildings, straightforward attack superposition magic couldn’t break through the fortress in one hit.
Because of this, many players liked to use this magic to create temporary bases in the wild. However, maintaining such a fortress required constant consumption of magic power. If faced with a battle situation, few would choose to keep up such a base and be in a state of magic deficiency.
Reiger, however, used it without any reservations.
He had already experimented and found that the magic power needed to maintain the fortress could be instantaneously replenished by ’Regeneration’ automatic recovery.
In other words, even while maintaining the fortress constantly, Reiger’s magic power would not be depleted; it would be replenished in the instant it was used.
Since this was the case, Reiger naturally had no concerns about how he used it.
The steel gates of the high tower automatically opened as Reiger approached, exposing its interior to both Reiger and Altoria.
Upon entering the giant tower, the first thing that struck them was a spacious hall.
Across the hall was a set of double doors, leading to a corridor. At the end of the corridor was another set of double doors, surrounded with [Eternal Light] magic lamps providing a very smooth walkway.
As the doors at the end of the corridor opened, dazzling light immediately shone out from behind them, hitting Reiger and Altoria.
Together, Reiger and Altoria walked in and arrived at a circular hall.
This area had a pristine white floor and a high ceiling with a spiral staircase leading upstairs. The indoor space was visibly expanded, much more spacious than it appeared from outside.
"Are we, are we resting here tonight?"
Looking at the super luxurious hall that resembled a noble’s mansion, Altoria stuttered.
The hall was furnished with a variety of furniture pieces, sofas, tables and chairs, and even a tea trolley—it truly did resemble a noble’s mansion.
Especially the staircase leading upstairs, even from Altoria’s angle, she could see doors resembling those of high-class hotel suites, easily leading one to imagine the luxurious room behind each door.
"Yes, we are resting here tonight." Reiger pointed at those rooms and said, "You can pick any room you like."
Upon hearing this, Altoria instinctively backed away.
"No no no no no! I am not staying there!" Altoria vigorously shook her head, exclaiming, "I absolutely cannot get used to such places!"
Hearing this from Altoria, Reiger also realized the crux of the problem.
No matter how extraordinary Altoria’s background, for the past sixteen years of her life, she had not lived well.
She had lived in a stable, treated like a horse, and raised by the fairies of Tingtarjier who only saw her as a horse; how could she possibly have lived in such good conditions?
For Altoria, who had experienced such hardship, having a place that could keep her warm during winter, where she wouldn’t lose toes to frostbite like before, would already be an improvement.
Now that Reiger was offering her such a luxurious place, for a countryside fairy accustomed to lower standards than even humans, it was natural for Altoria to feel frightened.
"I’ll just find a corner here and stay!" Altoria insisted, "Like, this spot is good!"
Altoria quickly ran to a dark corner of the hall and settled down without moving.
Her demeanor was like that of someone with social anxiety, almost like someone with autism.
