Everything seemed to be fine. The three masters and apprentices were still focusing on the work of repairing the magic tower, but the focus and content of the construction had changed somewhat.
The first is the repair of the wall. First, restore the magic tower to a completely closed state. The door is already very strong. Not to mention, the portals leading to the open area on the third and second floors have been reinforced. The walls of the internal compartments, the floor
The defects in the floor have been put aside for the time being. The next step is to repair and reorganize the defense system in the tower.
The Magic Tower is not like a general fortress. The internal passages are designed to be winding for defense reasons, but this does not mean that people can come and go freely inside the Magic Tower. 'Ning conquer ten cities without attacking one tower.'
These are the words left by a famous historical general in the world of Lost World.
Connecting different planes to create a maze, or making a fireball with one step are all children's tricks. More magicians think that even they themselves dare not walk around in their own towers after turning on the defense function.
However, as a historic site dating back thousands of years, the Tower of the Great Sage does not have the kind of defenses that can destroy all existence. In fact, it can be said that it does not have any internal defense function. It is either a magic trap that has been triggered and has expired; it has been too long.
The mechanism is no longer usable. What Lin has to do is to refill this blank picture with his own ideas and existing resources... The latter is given priority.
During this period, the agreed-upon carriages and horses from the Chamber of Commerce finally arrived. In addition to transporting supplies, bulky items that were difficult to carry around Lin's original residence were also sent to the Tower of the Great Sage with the carriage convoy.
This chamber of commerce was originally just a messenger for the association to contact tower owners everywhere. Later, it transported not only letters, but also special items exchanged between tower owners and the association, and subsidies from the association to tower owners everywhere. So the messenger became a horse
convoy.
With the carriage fleet, some tower owners asked to help them purchase some things, or send the output of the magic tower to be sold somewhere. Therefore, the fleet expanded.
After helping others deliver a lot of goods, the big guys in the association thought that they could make money by doing business themselves, specifically buying the output of various magic towers and then reselling them, and selling the goods needed by tower owners and delivering them to their doorsteps.
.So the Chamber of Commerce was established.
Other divisions will see if a certain division will do this, and the benefits will be considerable. So other branches will follow suit.
To this day, although the chambers of commerce affiliated to the Magicians Association have different affiliations according to the regional branches, their business scope is not limited to magicians, but also extends to ordinary people.
But for magicians who are tower masters, there are various preferential measures. After all, for the association, mastering magicians who control strategic weapons in various places is a major priority. There is no need to worry about such trivial matters as money.
, causing disunity. On the contrary, they have common interests, which makes each tower owner even more inseparable from the assistance of the Magician Association.
From Lin's perspective, the best thing about the logistics industry is making money. The Magician Association even integrated the shopping platform with logistics and started a unique business, making it difficult not to make money.
Making money will inevitably attract attention. But what kind of existence is the Magician Association? With the force of each regional branch, it is not a big problem to destroy one or two small countries. From the past to now, I have heard of robbing the association's caravan, but never heard of it
He could still be safe after the robbery. He would definitely be destroyed, and even his soul would be taken back and tortured for a hundred years.
Of course, the weapons to protect the caravan still need to be put out to avoid unsightly people on the road. Lin looked at the camel bird riding on it - a huge bird that has better endurance and more flexibility than horses, and can also fly briefly.
.A type of Warcraft──, all the warriors wearing magic auras protect the caravans in front and back, which makes people’s eyes dazzle. This is just like seeing someone wearing an Armani suit and a Rolex on the earth.
, the same feeling as driving a Maserati.
More importantly, those who can become caravan guards are definitely not ordinary people. Without the experience of rolling among the dead, you will not be able to get a high salary from the association or any magic items on your body.
It is a pity that such force cannot be commanded by Lin, the tower master. The caravan guards do not intervene in local affairs unless someone steals from them. If they are just peeking, they are just on guard.
Just like now, the sight from the forest thought it was very hidden, but in fact it had already fallen into the eyes of these people. That's why the guards maintained a semicircular vigilance formation, surrounding the carriages and horses they wanted to protect.
Lin also knew that the boxes of items moved from the carriage into the magic tower, even though the contents could not be known, would definitely arouse greedy thoughts in some people. The silence these days did not mean the peace in the future. He was just
It is to uphold the spirit of remaining unchanged in response to ever-changing circumstances and just wait for the other party to make the first move.
In addition, the longer the time went on, the better prepared he became. Lin was not worried at all. All work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Until one afternoon when those bad things were almost forgotten, the impatient person finally appeared.
When three powerful men wearing iron breastplates and carrying giant axes walked out of the forest, the early warning system of the magic tower immediately sounded in the ears of the three masters and disciples. Such alarms would always come several times a day, but
Most of them are caused by wild animals that escape from the forest.
Lin, who had been staying in the core room for several days in a row, redeploying the energy structure of the entire magic tower next to the console, looked at the people on the surveillance screen displayed on the energy pool mirror, and was still not sure whether they were targets. Wild adventurers passed by
Magic towers and the purchase of magic props are not uncommon in the Lost World, and they are also one of the ways of income for many tower owners.
However, the two young apprentices who had completed the structural work of the magic tower and were arranging the furniture in each room happened to be in the core room. Halumi could tell at a glance that the three of them were from that village and the group that led the bullying.
Thinking of the frightening past, she couldn't help but shrink behind her companion, trembling slightly.
Looking at his apprentice's appearance, Lin sighed, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and at the same time ruffled the hair of the two girls in a mischievous manner, and said: "Go down and make preparations as planned before."
Her carefully taken care of hair was messed up, and the blond girl temporarily forgot about that horrific memory. Instead, she pouted dissatisfiedly and looked at the initiator fiercely. But Kaya, who had two big braids, because her hair was tied firmly,
It didn't get too messy, and he had a relatively calm personality. He pulled the sleeve of a girl of the same age, and the two of them ran away.
Lin silently turned on the tower's defense functions one by one, but the automatically triggered mechanisms were still turned off. He needed to talk to the other party first and determine his attitude before taking any next action.
I saw the magical light of the console turning from green to red, extending to all the energy nodes of the entire tower in an instant, then extinguished, and returned to the appearance of an ordinary stone building. There was no sign of all this change outside the tower, just like it
What it has looked like for thousands of years.
The door of the magic tower is open. In the world of Lost World, under non-war conditions, the door of the magic tower is open during the day, which means that this is an owned tower, and adventurers in need are also welcome to buy supplies or seek asylum.
.
However, in the eyes of the three leaders of the village, this is no different than seeking death. The former tower owner of the Great Sage Tower kept the door of the magic tower tightly closed day and night. Every time, they would smash the door fiercely and say
Only by threatening words can the other party be willing to open a small crack and let in their own people.
Since the door was open today, they walked into the magic tower without hesitation. Seeing that the appearance of the first floor had changed a bit, and the original damaged areas had been repaired, the man standing in the middle couldn't help but lick his lips, dreaming about the new building.
The first tower owner was a fat sheep.
"New here, why don't you greet the guests when they arrive?"
For a moment, Lin thought that he had returned to the time when he had just traveled through time and was looked down upon by everyone. After being promoted to an official magician, he had never been treated like this again, even by nobles or magicians with a higher class than himself.
They all maintain a certain level of respect.
It seems that this game cannot be improved. Lin So thought to himself, while opening the sound transmission magic array, he said: "Three distinguished guests, please go to the core room on the third floor."
The three people in the surveillance screen showed disdainful sneers. Before going upstairs, they adjusted their weapons to a comfortable position. The leader took out a dagger glowing with magic from his arms and hid it in his backhand.
In the palm of her right hand, it must be the demon-breaking dagger that Halumi said was used to pierce her stone-skin technique.
The three of them had no idea that they were under surveillance. They thought they had prepared everything, so they walked up to the third floor. Lin, who was watching the surveillance, was speechless for a while.
The monitoring system is based on the concept of the earth and is implemented with the magic of the Lost World. Although there are other magics that can produce similar effects, the complete monitoring concept does not exist in the existing magic system. So the three people who went upstairs were at a loss.
Being unconscious is normal.
But in a magic tower with a controller, it is very abnormal to be so arrogant. Was his predecessor too weak? Lin wondered.
Turning off the surveillance screen, he stood up and faced the direction of the stairs. Lin silently waited for the three people to show up. The most important thing was the three people's cursing voices. There was really no need to continue monitoring. Just listening to them could tell how impatient they were.
.
As he walked through the door, before he could stand still, the biggest and thickest man said loudly: "Newcomer, your predecessor had a good time cooperating with our village. I think we should continue to cooperate in the same way as before."
"
"What was the previous method?"
"We provide the original materials, and you can help us make them into magic materials."
"Then..." Lin asked hesitantly, "How much compensation can I get?"
"Haha, what's the reward?" The three strong men looked at each other and laughed, and one of them said: "Your predecessor was kind enough to help us for free. I believe you have a good heart too."
