Is it true that once things get started, they tend to happen one after another?
The reason why Lin had this idea was that ever since a wave of people asked to settle in the village outside the Great Sage's Tower, every once in a while, someone would come and make the same request.
Basically, Lin's attitude is that all comers are welcome. However, the final decision-making power is given to the group of people who have already settled in the village. It is up to them to decide whether to accept new people, how to allocate or build new houses, and restore wasteland.
How to distribute the farmland, and how to share the work in the small pasture dedicated to the tower owner.
Lin doesn't care about these things at all. In fact, this is how most magic tower owners manage the Homo sapiens gathering areas within x ten kilometers (10 kilometers). At the same time, ordinary people will give up the protection of nobles and invest in magicians.
The reason for living in China is not only the relatively high degree of freedom, but if you are lucky, the taxes are also light.
Of course, there are times when you are unlucky. If you encounter a high-pressure magician lord, it is better to work harder than a dog and eat worse than a pig; it is also possible that your life is in danger. Who is called a magic tower?
Top-level military force has no chance of resisting riots compared to those under aristocratic rule; to resist the tower owner is to blast it with a magic spell, leaving no chicken or dog behind.
But I don't know whether it's because the reputation of the Great Sage's Tower is too good, or because the people who come here have ulterior motives. Seeing the village to the east becoming more and more lively, Lin felt a little bit dumbfounded.
Because according to his observation, that village is now in the state of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.
There are several waves of people who met the first wave of people and arrived here slowly. These people integrate into the life of the village the fastest. After all, they are all familiar faces.
There were also a few groups of people who had really met each other for the first time. But if they were simple farmers, Lin didn't believe them. If they didn't have ulterior motives, they were probably fugitives from other places or wanted robbers with bounties on them.
.
The latter seem to be more likely to not know each other. In other words, they are more likely to be spies from all sides.
The reason why we can know these things is because of the surveillance footage outside the tower and the biological activity records around the Tower of the Great Sage. The actions that those people thought were secret were actually all exposed under Lin's eyes. After careful consideration,
It is not difficult to guess the intentions of everyone's weird behavior. Of course, we don't know who is behind these people, and Lin has no interest in finding out.
The funniest thing is that someone actually started to run an inn. Because there were small caravans coming to the Tower of the Great Sage to buy browser magic stones every now and then. The village was originally in an abandoned state.
If the caravans here did not leave on the same day, some were sleeping outdoors and some were staying in towers.
As for staying in the magic tower, it was actually a last resort. So when the village became populated, there were fast-thinking businessmen who united with several families in the village to open a simple
Hotel.
The people who stay are not just the caravans visiting the Tower of the Great Sage. Due to the rise of the forum, the scope of action of adventurers and mercenaries has expanded and they have moved more frequently. During their missions, they will occasionally pass by.
here.
In the past, people stayed in the tower because it was deserted. Now that there are hotels in the villages outside the tower, no one wants to stay in the magic tower where the tower owner has the power of life and death.
In order to prevent him from not knowing where he offended the tower master, he was destroyed without saying a word. You know, this tower master has a reputation for killing a team of inspectors; there were rumors of massacre of the village earlier. So.
Don't make yourself unhappy.
In short, a group of people with different agendas gathered together, and the village became more and more lively.
Faced with this kind of thing, the Tower of the Great Sage cannot stay away. From time to time, villagers come to visit and use very poor methods to investigate. They even think that girls in their early teens are easy to deceive, and use various strange reasons to try to trick the girls.
As the master of the tower, it is easy for Lin to ignore everything and ignore everything. But it is not so convenient for two apprentices.
At first, Halumi and Kaya negotiated with the villagers enthusiastically to see if they could help each other based on their needs. If they had the mentality of taking advantage and coaxed them a few words, they might be able to get the two to join in.
The girl shot for free. But maybe this group of people were too careful and didn't dare to take advantage of them. Maybe this group of people only cared about information and tried every means to get words out of the girls. The final result was that the two girls
My patience is also worn out. Because different people ask the same questions, even a pig should know something is wrong.
But how do you reject someone? Even on Earth, this is a problem for adults, let alone two elementary school-age girls in the Lost World.
Lin didn't want to deal with the group of people outside, and he couldn't bear the two apprentices to be tortured on his behalf, so he came up with a strange trick, which was to let two big dogs come back as door gods. Whenever a troublesome person came to the door, he would take a few steps closer and move from top to bottom.
He looked down and drooled at the person, while staring at him intently.
After teasing the dog for a while, he was picked up by the arm and thrown a dozen steps away. Although he was not seriously injured, he lay there for several days and could not get out of bed.
After that, the two girls trained dogs, meditated, and practiced magic. Anyway, they ran out of time, so they followed through on their evasions and pretense, and finally got rid of those annoying guys.
As for whether any villagers came to protest? That’s really not the case. After all, there have been murders and massacres of villages in the past, and no one wants to risk their lives by entering the magic tower and betting with the tower owner whether they dare to kill people or not.
It's so lively outside the tower, but it's not much different inside.
The conflict broke out on a night when clouds half covered the stars in the sky and the chill was getting darker. Kaya had just given a late-night snack to the teacher on the observatory. When she went down to the second floor, Halumi was standing beside her.
Wiping her wet hair, she walked towards her room. When she saw a girl of the same age, she said, "Kaya, I took a shower and changed."
"After I finish checking the other rooms, I'll go wash them."
"Okay, I'm going to bed first. Good night."
"Good night."
Passing through the dim central stairwell, the girl first inspected the rooms on the first floor according to her habit. After the village outside the tower started operating an inn, no one came to the Tower of the Great Sage to stay overnight. For masters and apprentices who are afraid of trouble,
, which is a good thing.
Walking down one step at a time. On the familiar stairs, Kaya would not have any inconvenience even if she closed her eyes. So during this sleeping time, the lighting in the entire Tower of the Great Sage was adjusted to a very high level.
A weak state. This is one of the teacher's research results during this period.
In the past, the night lighting of the Great Sage's Tower was all night pearls leaning on the wall. But I don't know if it was poached and sold by a previous tower owner, or for other reasons. Although there are many passages and room walls,
There are traces of the luminous pearl inlay, but the most important bead is missing. Therefore, there is no one place for lighting at night, which is quite inconvenient.
Furthermore, in order to transform the energy channel layout of the entire tower, those beads were also in the way. So during a certain transformation, Lin was very cruel and dug out all the luminous beads and changed the energy layout of the entire tower, just like the laser on the first floor.
Magic patterns similar to the network channel are spread in every corner.
Although the changes are not as good as the carefully arranged first floor, laser beams of the same power can still be fired. In addition to this defensive method, the magic power channel is used to realize the self-illumination of the walls of the entire tower.
Moreover, Lin used his research on spectral wavelengths to make adjustments. In addition to adjusting the intensity of the lighting, it can also adjust the color. In fact, this is also an important technical basis for Lin to create a three-dimensional imaging avatar. Using variable color light
, projecting the appearance of the human body.
Of course, the girls still don’t understand these complicated things. They only know that the lighting brightness in the tower can be adjusted arbitrarily, voice controlled, or manually controlled. Generally, when there are activities at night, it will be adjusted to simulate the sunlight during the day.
.When it’s time to fall asleep, the entire tower will reduce its brightness and turn into a faint orange light, which will give people a sense of peace of mind.
But this warm light that usually makes people feel at ease, why does it feel so cold today?
In the silent night, the sound of footsteps is particularly clear. In the closed magic tower with no windows, every step seems to be accompanied by your own heartbeat. The sound of breathing will also be infinitely amplified, rumbling in your ears. Daxian
The night lights of the Tower are not like the light of candles, which sway in the wind. The soft and weak orange light is like embracing a calm mind, lulling people to sleep.
This was the feeling that people had in the past, but today it seemed a little unusual. Not to mention the black shadows flashing around, the gentle flapping of wings, and the squeaking sounds. Are there insects flying in? Kaya was confused.
Suddenly, a pair of cold hands grabbed her shoulders, and there was an unbearable sting on the right side of her neck. The girl couldn't help but shout loudly, breaking the tranquility in the magic tower.
Harumi was worried about her companions and ran downstairs in a panic. However, in the tower where she thought she was safe, she was controlled by hands stretched out in the darkness. While she was shutting up, she was also lifted up, leaving her feet in the air.
Kicking randomly.
Lin, who was staying at the observatory on the third floor, also heard the shrill cry. He didn't ignore it or panic. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. If they just fell and fell, the two girls wouldn't be so big.
Shout. In the past adventures, they have suffered more serious injuries than this. The two of them have a tough temper and often don't say a word.
Are you scared to scream when you see cockroaches, ants, spiders, or mice? Those little things can't scare them. This is not the earth, and they are not pampered little girls.
Then what is the reason for screaming so miserably? Lin had several guesses in his mind. When he was passing by the core room and preparing to go downstairs, he glanced at the surveillance screen of the lobby and corridor on the second floor. An unknown person
The black shadow seems to lead the situation to the place where you least want to see it.
I walked slowly to the first floor, and as soon as I stepped out of the stairwell, I heard a strange laughter coming from the corner, saying: "Your Excellency Gabriel Ashtrippwood."
"Oh, these days, the little thief who hides his head and hides his tail is still so polite. This is really a lot of experience."
"Your apprentices are all in our hands. Can you talk like this?"
There was a thin black mist where the voice came from, blocking the orange light of the Magic Tower at night. But you could still see clearly the two girls who were pushed to the edge of the mist. Halumi was silenced, with a look of horror on her face;
Ya Ze fainted and leaned on the person behind her to barely survive.
