Although the magical civilization of Lost Land is not inferior to the technological civilization of Earth in terms of what it can do, it is a power controlled by a few people after all, and the entire society is still in an era of ignorance similar to the European Middle Ages. This means
The natural change of society is quite slow, unless something big enough to impact the times and the revolutionary level appears.
Unfortunately, browsers, a tool for quickly transmitting information, are of this level.
Before entering the Wadwo tribe, in Shanling City, in exchange for materials to make a container that could seal the unspeakable thing, Lin handed over the right to copy and sell the browser and related knowledge. After a year of deliberation, Browse
The disease is like a plague, spreading unstoppably to various places. The Basque Country is also facing a wave of great changes.
Mountainous areas mean that mineral resources will be richer than other places. Magic stones, as a carrier of browsers, are the main output resources of the Basque Country. Now that the programs that host browsers are processed, they have become a fragrance in the eyes of businessmen.
The glutinous rice cakes are sold one by one to other parts of the Lost Continent.
In particular, Shanling City was originally used as a strategic fortress and regional command center hundreds of years ago. It was a supply road connecting other regions. Today, it has become an important lifeline for the Basque Country to cooperate with foreign countries. It not only transports local mountain goods
It is continuously shipped out, and resources from various places are brought in to form exchanges. Today, browser magic stones have become an important export commodity.
In this wave, there is of course help and resistance. The three major organizations that contribute to the wave, in addition to the Magician Association, are the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer Guild.
In terms of the actual use of the Southwest Peninsula, the exchange of information on the forum may have reduced the two guilds' financial resources, but it has maximized their human resources. Not to mention some shady tasks, the two major guilds are the most important
Their mission is to reasonably allocate combat power, defeat monsters, thieves, etc., and protect the development of civilization. The rapid exchange of information has undoubtedly allowed the two guilds to produce better results.
And another major advantage is that after several years of running-in by the Southwest Peninsula branch, the two major guilds have established a set of systems and measures that are recognized as effective, and some subject matter information regardless of region has been established.
In other words, the framework has been set up. If branches in other regions want to participate, they only need to have branch members join the forum and integrate regional information to start operations. The rest is the proficiency of the members and
The issue of forum popularity.
But for another group of people, the emergence of browsers and forums has made them love and hate them.
On the surface, there are various countries, aristocrats, and the idea of obscurity is still prevalent in the ruling class of Lost Land. In their eyes, the people are slaves who support themselves to live a good life, and they have the power of life and death. The people who are ruled do not
There is so much to know, as long as you know how to obey and follow their instructions. Of course, such simple people cannot be polluted by various comments on the forum.
But on the other hand, they themselves are reluctant to give up the convenience brought by the forum. Whether it is communication with other nobles, learning about current popular information, exchange of business intelligence, and spy reports, there is no problem in their territory.
Signs of stability. First-hand information from the forum allows them to respond quickly without being caught off guard by any sudden news.
If the territory is large enough to support a full-time intelligence unit, then these intelligence chiefs will love and hate the forum. What they love is that the information can be transmitted more quickly and conveniently, and the spies sent out will not be disappointed by the paper.
His intelligence fell into the wrong hands, and something unexpected happened. What he hated was that the convenience of dispatching his own personnel also made it more difficult for him to catch spies from other forces.
But there is also an organization that hates browsers and forums more than they love them, and that is the Thieves Guild.
In fact, thieves, or people who are accustomed to acting in secret, do not have a unified organization, but underground societies, local ruffians, and gangsters in various places go their own way, and the exchanges between them are limited to the exchange of interests. Some are just in name.
The leader above, in fact, the people inside don’t obey anyone.
One of their major gains is the information selling that has been ruined by the forum. Don't look at the fact that the forum will only post some information that "they think everyone knows", rather than the kind of confidential information. In fact, it really depends on the latter.
There are very few people who make profits, they are very high-end, and they may not always have business; most people rely on the former kind of information to make some small money to live. And then they are screwed...
This is not only a monetary loss, but more importantly, when they lose the weapon of controlling intelligence, their status in the eyes of those in power will drop a lot, and it can even be said to be in danger, because there is no value in using it. So compared to
Compared with most people who are happy to hang out in the forum, this group of people with hatred remember the name Gabra Ashtripwood more.
A small episode that has nothing to do with the general trend of Lost Land. In Shanling City, the senior executives of the Basque branch of the Magician Association used to curse the group of Demon King and her followers who extorted a large amount of precious magic materials from them.
Our daily life now consists of laughing at the stupid magician who threw away the chicken that laid golden eggs.
There are high-level officials from other branches who also want a piece of the pie. However, while the creator is still alive, these 'high-level officials' can't just nod and act easily. If the rules they have set are blatantly broken, it will only lead to disgrace.
The most basic trust in the association has collapsed. Therefore, no one dares to make such an opening without the consent of the creator.
This situation has also caused an undercurrent to brew. When a man is still alive and will block too many people's financial paths, it seems that there is no need to think too much about what is the best way. In addition, the Thieves Guild also has the business of intermediary killers.
, the two parties hit it off right away. If someone's whereabouts hadn't been discovered and he was now staying in the wood elf tribe, assassins might have come to visit.
Without the target being aware of it at all, that undercurrent is lurking, waiting for an opportunity.
The situation in the outside world has changed so much, and Master and Disciple Lin have not changed at all.
The lich spends all day openly and openly walking around without clothes. It looks quite scary. Yes! It is scary! Because Fen not only has no clothes, but also no skin, no muscles, and no even internal organs. He is just a corpse.
The form of a golden skeleton is walking around in the territory of World Tree. No matter how you look at it, it is very strange.
This old man seems not to want to solve his own problems for a moment. He calls it self-liberation. I say, sister, you have liberated yourself too completely.
As an assistant researcher, Kaya, apart from her increasingly strange interests, overall still walks firmly on the path of magic. But her companions are not so single-minded.
Running around all day long and playing with the wood elf children, Halumi also figured out some tricks, so that she wandered further and further into places where no one noticed. When Lin looked at the girl again, there was nothing but
Apart from her pointed ears and blond hair, she was not noticed among the wood elf girls for a moment.
He was dressed in burlap, tied around the waist with grass and vines, his beautiful blond hair was cut short to expose the back of his neck, his two lotus-like arms were uncovered, his thin long legs only covered half of his thighs, and his feet were bare. And in the end.
The important thing is, it's winter now...
In fact, this scene is not strange among the Waldwo tribe, because the wood elves all dress like this. No one has been frozen to death on the roadside. According to Halumi, this is because the wood elves
They have a very special breathing method, which not only strengthens their physique, but also improves their various resistances in the environment under the cover of the World Tree. Not being afraid of the cold is considered the most basic thing.
It's just that their bodies have gotten better, but there hasn't been much progress in terms of body shape. Have they really been spoiled by someone? Lin thought seriously.
And it’s not just her, Kaya is the same. They eat well and sleep well in the Wadwo tribe, and are nourished by World Tree-level phytoncides. The nutrients they absorb don’t know where they went. It’s like their development period has ended early.
, except for the height, the body shape is the same as ten years ago. Regarding this, someone can only sigh deeply.
Holding pink fists and biting silver teeth, the girls' desire to do it becomes stronger and stronger.
Of course, the reason why the girl had such a change was not just playing with the wood elf children. Her performance was noticed by Kalama Harang, and she became interested.
When the wood elf brother came to the girl, he said, "Human girl, do you want to learn something from me?"
The master-disciple relationship in Midi is very sacred. To worship a second teacher without the permission of the teacher is tantamount to betrayal and will be despised. Even if the two teachers are in different fields,
For example, Lin is a magician, and Kalamaharan is a warrior and druid.
Even though she was very interested, Halumi never thought about betraying that person. So she said: "Thanks to your favor, I cannot become your disciple without the teacher's permission. Let's talk about my path of magic.
We're only halfway through, but I never thought about giving up magic."
"It's easy. Anyway, I didn't want to accept you as my disciple. I just wanted to give you a few hints of interest. Maybe after a few days, the excitement has passed, and you can only ask for your own blessings. Because even if you ask me then, I won't
I won’t necessarily answer.”
In this way, under the strong temptation and because someone had no objection, Halumi studied with Kalama Harang for a period of time. For Lin, teaching these two apprentices was just to learn from the magician in the early stage.
The association receives a monthly monetary subsidy, and of course it doesn't care about that little money now. Secondly, magic is just a way to survive in a lost land, as are combat skills, so he has no objection to apprentices learning anything that can increase their survival rate.
skills.
As the saying goes, one side is not bright and the other is bright. Compared with the magical talent that is only slightly better than ordinary people, the girl has been praised by Kalamaharan one after another during the fight. Even the white sword master who is still in the tribe
, William Greco also came to join in the fun and gave some tips that he thought were very interesting; and based on the characteristics of girls, these were tips that made it easier to give full play to their advantages.
Not to mention that Halumi benefited a lot, even Kalama Harang also heard some insights. It can be seen that William Greco did not just talk casually and perfunctoryly.
