Laying bricks is a technical job. If the young apprentices can't do it, only the teacher can do it himself.
There is a reason for such hard work. Although according to current construction technology, magic bricks that meet the golden ratio should be the most ideal material, the Tower of the Great Sage was a product of a thousand years ago. The people of that era
He must have been careless in this regard. He created a different structural part with bricks of different sizes, which will make people who are interested in repairing it later confused.
The only good thing is that the magic bricks Lin ordered the two girls to re-create are smaller in size than the antique bricks from thousands of years ago, no matter which part it is. There is no requirement in the Lost World to restore the old ones, so the size is slightly smaller.
It is easy to fill the gaps, but in the end, there will always be some small gaps that do not fit the size of the bricks. At this time, if two girls are working, they will come to ask for instructions.
It takes time to listen to someone explain the actual situation, come up with ways to make up for it, and then explain it to the two girls. It also takes time to understand. Even though they were ordered to follow the instructions, the two girls still asked about everything. As for the reason behind it, they really
I don’t know if I don’t understand, or I just can’t bear to see someone being lazy, so I’m pretending not to understand. As he came and went, Lin found that he came relatively quickly.
Who is calling someone who is not aware of being a teacher? He usually doesn’t look like a teacher. Only when he wants to be lazy will he say some serious reasons that are not reasons. If he fishes a few times, his tricks and pretentiousness will be seen through.
He couldn't carry it anymore if he wanted to. So Lin could only touch his nose and join the labor force.
Anyway, at the speed of two magic apprentices, it would take a lot of time just to make new magic bricks from waste materials. If someone joins the construction, the overall efficiency will be improved a lot.
After working hard for a few days, seeing that the supplies were running out, the caravan that had been agreed upon when leaving the association had not yet arrived, and eating game every day was not an option, so Lin had no choice but to order his apprentice to buy some food from a nearby village.
That’s right! There is a human village in the territory within x ten days governed by the Tower of the Great Sage. According to the common legal principles in the Lost World, villages and towns within a certain territory fall under the jurisdiction of that territory.
, and have various obligations. In fact, the people of the Lost World are not at all like the ancient people of the earth, whether it is medieval Europe or pre-modern China, who were as submissive to the nobles and scholar-bureaucrats.
Due to the threat of wild monsters and uncivilized races, the civil force is also quite strong. In addition to various warriors, mercenaries and magicians in the name of adventurers who roam the entire continent, the vast majority of villagers, regardless of gender,
, as long as he wears leather armor and picks up a sword, he is still a qualified soldier.
After all, without such strength, it is impossible to protect oneself outside the city walls. Although noble lords have the responsibility of guarding the land, it does not mean that ordinary people can be protected by noble gentlemen as soon as they face danger. Most of them
You still have to seek blessings every time and take up arms to defend the safety of your life and property.
This also makes the folk customs of the Lost World strong. The lord's responsibilities are to prepare the army and participate in wars; at the bottom, they are responsible for management and mediation of disputes. Taxation, joining the army, labor service, etc. must be recognized by the people.
Only this lord can count on their willingness to cooperate.
If you want to bully men and women, or use aristocratic weapons to force people to obey and collect wealth, once the reputation of the evil lord is spread, it will just attract some righteous demons to search for flesh, Internet bullying and the like.
At most, it's just a face full of saliva.
The problem is that the righteous devil in the world of Lost World really knows how to greet the evil lord with a knife, and then chops off the head of the evil lord. Then the bard tells another story of chivalry and righteousness.
What's more, some small lords who were enshrined in remote areas took office with a few three or five followers. Before they could enjoy the power of the nobles, it was also common to hear that they were buried in the mountains and forests by the local people.
If the central government sends troops to investigate, most of them will get a sentence: "The new lord thought he was very powerful, so he went into the forest to hunt monsters, but he never came back." There is no way to verify this kind of thing, but there is no way to verify it.
Words that are so reasonable that no one can find fault with them. Simply put, it means that poor mountains and poor waters support unruly people.
To put it more bluntly, the village under the jurisdiction of the Tower of the Great Sage is populated by such a group of unruly people.
The world of Lost Land can be said to be vast and sparsely populated. People are a kind of wealth. Human development of wasteland not only symbolizes the expansion of the scope of civilized activities, but also reduces the scope of monsters and other dangers. Therefore, destroying villages for no reason is
It will attract the attention of the high-level authorities in the Lost World, and it will not be a good thing for the initiator. Not to mention the "justice" messengers among the people.
Since the magic tower's most powerful strategic weapon, the light bullet attack magic circle, is of no use, because it will kill the village. Since you can't kill people casually, you can only rely on gentle methods to gain the trust of the people.
Huairou must have background power, political backing, and most importantly, bribery with benefits... Can a magician with so many advantages afford to be reduced to being a tower master?
Thinking of the rumors he heard before setting off, the previous tower owners had been indifferent to the village, and the previous tower owner sadly abandoned the tower and fled. Before setting off, Lin decided to continue the actions of the previous tower owners.
Ignore that human gathering place.
In the environmental assessment of the Tower of the Great Sage, the level of trouble was rated as medium to high, and the village really contributed a lot.
Now that he was forced to deal with the other party for food, Lin said in his heart that it was impossible not to worry. However, instead of directly negotiating with him, he sent the eloquent Halumi and brought money to buy food.
.Since the girl is so cute, there shouldn't be any big problem. Lin thought in his mind that maybe it was a sheep into a tiger's mouth.
No matter what, once the work is done, the result is awaited.
The remaining two masters and apprentices have become a lot quieter because they have lost the most outgoing and cheerful girl. Kaya herself does not like to talk, and Lin, a former fat otaku, is also not good at chatting. Suddenly in life,
Without someone, both of them become lazy, and even their work efficiency drops a lot.
Then at the estimated time of return, there was still no trace of someone, and the level of worry gradually increased. Lin warned himself not to be impulsive, maybe the girl was just having fun, and she might have been delayed on the way.
Until dusk, the two masters and apprentices sitting at the door of the magic tower saw someone walking out of the woods crying. Were they angry? Or were they relieved? Lin's heart was filled with mixed emotions. What he hoped wouldn't happen still happened, although
It's not the worst situation, but the village under its control has made its attitude clear, and the next response will be very important.
The girl who returned to her teacher in tears looked very embarrassed. Not to mention her clothes were in tatters, she had many bruises and sword wounds on her body, and her face was disfigured. What happened to Harumi after she went to that village?
His treatment was very clear. Of course, the money bag he brought with him and a few unsavory magic accessories on his body were also gone.
After soothing the girl's emotions, Lin didn't bother to ask what happened at the moment. He just told Kaya to prepare for a bath. At this time, brushing her body and soaking herself in hot water would help stabilize her emotions.
Lin closed the door of the magic tower and walked into the forest to find herbs for trauma and ingredients for dinner, while thinking about the next countermeasures.
The sky was dark, and the bright moon was rising in the east. The sun and moon in the Lost World also rose in the east and set in the west. Lin was quite surprised when he first traveled through the world. And after seeing two moons in the sky, he was even more surprised. But twelve years later
It was enough time for me to get used to it and look at the moonlight. The only thing that was different today was the smoke rising from the kitchen not far away, which was the location of the village.
Rush in and kill them?
From the tragic situation of Halumi, we can know that they have the means to control magicians. Although they can deal with magic apprentices, they may not be able to deal with real magicians, but this is not the reason why Lin can't find the murderer. After all, he will let someone go.
Some people were violent towards a tower master's apprentice. To a certain extent, this represented the attitude of the entire village.
If you go to someone else's territory and start an attack on someone else's territory, you will definitely not get a good deal. But if you want to swallow your anger and settle the matter, you have to see whether the other party is willing.
Thinking of the rumors that the previous tower owner abandoned the tower, the reason behind it is not only that the village has occupied the nearby resource output. The main reason is that after hunting the monsters, the skins peeled off and some bones and blood that can be used to refine magic potions are all used by the village.
The people who controlled it turned the tower owner of the Great Sage's Tower from his already meager income to nothing.
Not to mention that the village has not paid taxes for a long time, is not under the jurisdiction of the kingdom, and the magic tower is unable to control it, just like an alien land.
The worst thing is that the former tower owner was forced to refine magic potions and nitrate the furs of monsters. All the income was also misappropriated by the village. Even as a magician, the fixed monthly subsidy he received from the association was subsidized into that miserable place.
A life of unpaid labor. No wonder he escaped in the middle of the night and fled straight to the east of the mainland, under another branch of the association.
The Magic Tower Association in this area only discovered this exaggerated fact after discovering that the magician registered as the tower owner had gone to other branches to log in. The seal of the tower is now imposed by a team of inspectors, and at the same time it is brought back by the
Abandoned Magic Tower Journal.
As for the ordinary people in that village, after discovering that the Tower of the Great Sage had become ownerless, they no longer dared to use the facilities in the tower. The magicians who were inspectors had permission to kill and invade the association.
When registering registered properties, we will kill them first and ask questions later.
Anyway, physical death in the Lost World is not real death. Imprisoning the soul and then creating various tricks is also the specialty of magicians.
But Lin didn't want to get into that state. Since the people in this village seemed to be planning to find another unlucky guy to be their coolie, and they also gave him a powerful hand. How to deal with it became a problem that Lin couldn't avoid or get around.
