Forty-three people, this is the result of Lin's personal counting early in the morning. Considering that there may be people with extraordinary talents who can stay in the poisonous fog all night and still not die, so after purifying the air on the first floor, supplement I made the knife and counted the heads all by myself.
However, the ropes in stock were not enough, so the two apprentices simply went into the forest to find vines, and twisted several strands into one. The lengths were different, and they tied their hands or feet or tied them directly around their necks. Then they tied the four vines. More than a dozen corpses were hoisted to the outer wall of the Magic Tower.
Looking at the forty-six corpses that died in miserable conditions on the wall that almost occupied the entire intact part of the tower, Lin was not worried at all about whether there would be a plague.
Because he saw vultures and some carnivorous birds having a delicious feast, and even a bird-shaped monster in the forest, which quickly took a person in its mouth and flew away, Lin suspected that in this remote place, these exposed people Do the remains outside have any chance of decomposing?
Lin looked in the direction of the village, wondering if the village could still stand in such a desolate place after losing more than forty people. However, these people all brought their own fault, and there was nothing to sympathize with. In addition, from the beginning When he first decided to develop the Tower of the Great Sage, he did not consider that village as a source of support and included it in his plan. Whether to destroy the village or not was not among Lin's considerations.
The threat from the village has come to an end for the time being. The days of peace, the renovation and internal layout of the magic tower have also come to an end, and everything is finally on track.
What is more troublesome is the design of the bathroom and toilet that is not available in the Lost World. After living without a toilet for more than ten years, Lin has been depressed to the point of wanting to commit suicide. Now that he has the conditions, he is determined to build it. The faucet is directly linked to the water elemental plane. , the shower head goes through a heated magic circle.
The big project is the burial of sewage pipes. In order to hide the pipes in the wall, even the energy channels have been re-planned and laid out. Especially the burial of septic tanks. If it weren't for the fact that excrement has other uses in this world, Lin Du would like to simply directly Connect to another dimension and throw it on the head of some unlucky guy.
The dining room and kitchen on the first floor are the first organized rooms besides the core room. Lin also set up an additional refrigerator with a freezing magic circle. In addition to marinating all the meat, there is finally a refrigerated place to store it.
The reason why the refrigerator is not regarded as a commodity that can be used to earn money when coming to the Lost World is because the cost of maintaining this thing is unimaginably high, and even noble families can rarely afford it. Come to Daxian The Tower of the Lost was settled and maintained only by the energy supply from the semi-permanent energy pool. Lin Ke didn't even dare to think about it before.
As for building a basic energy pool, it would be enough for the nobles to hire a small team of hunters and go hunting every day for three to five hundred years. If you just calculate the price ratio, you will know that you are not done yet.
If you want to sell it to other tower owners. All magicians have their own methods for preserving food. The most cruel one is to set up a time stasis magic circle to keep the vegetables and fruits at the moment they were just picked. Seeing such data , as well as the material cost of setting up the magic circle, Lin directly ignored all unrealistic ideas.
The weapon room has been enriched after the wooden frames were re-nailed. The most important thing is the large and small weapons of the three masters and apprentices. When going out, in addition to the main weapons that are handy, there are some spare and long-range weapons to deal with special situations. You have to make some preparations for weapons and tools. Sometimes you rely on these uncommon things to save your own life.
But since you live in the magic tower, there is no need to bring all these things with you. For example, a crossbow that is taller than the two young apprentices, flying claws for climbing, and a two-handed sword. Lin doesn't know what he is thinking.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was made and was disgusted by everyone who saw it. After being oiled and maintained, they were all put into the weapons room.
What is special is the captured demon-breaking dagger, which is placed in a conspicuous position on the short weapon rack. Although demon-breaking weapons are not rare, they are not special weapons that can be seen everywhere. The materials are different from ordinary magic weapons.
In addition, the spell patterns engraved on it are also of great research value, so Lin kept them.
There are a few iron ingots in the corner of the foundry, as well as the leather from the leather armor after removing the metal buckles. These are the monsters, goblins and the like that were easily eliminated during the previous journey to the Tower of the Great Sage, as well as the
The trophies contributed by a group of village invaders were remelted. Since there was no other demand for the time being, and there was no need for the crude, crude and eye-catching weapons and armor, they were all remelted.
The remaining warehouse is filled with rice, wheat, etc. that were delivered by the caravan not long ago, and other sundries that are not yet used.
On the second floor, there are seven restored rooms and a platform that is half covered by rain.
The library has been emptied. Because there are really few books, they are placed directly in the core room, next to Lin's bed, on the bookshelf against the wall. The research room currently only has two large tables and two stools. When venturing out, prepare herbal medicine.
The portable grinding bowl I used was placed lonely in the center of one of the tables.
The room shared by the two girls was decorated according to their wishes. The bed, small cabinet, and wardrobe were all for each person, except for the dressing mirror, which was shared by both of them.
Cajado made a shelf, on which were placed all kinds of strange specimens collected, dried frogs, lizards, bats, claws said to be devils, skull candlesticks, and a handful of unknown dried flowers. Looking at those
Collection, Lin Du felt that this young apprentice had more potential to be a magician than he did.
Hallumi did make a few potted plants, raising pitcher plants, flytraps, piranha plants that haven't grown up yet, and even a datura. She has a girlish temperament in liking flowers and plants, but I like this
Planting flowers and grass... As a teacher, I am speechless.
The two meditation rooms were carefully arranged by the master and the apprentice. There are so many meditation rooms. It is not that one is exclusive to the two apprentices. It is purely related to the magical principles of the Lost World.
When he first came through time travel, Lin Ke was very unaccustomed to many of the common sense of the Lost World. The basics of magic were not the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, nor the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, but the eight powers.
Knowledge, strength, authority, faith, wealth, dexterity, perception, mystery. There are also eight corresponding gods.
Magic is the supernatural power exerted through the arrangement and matching of media after accumulating the power of these eight powers.
The meditation room is a space to accelerate the accumulation of these eight powers.
After spending most of his savings, he rebuilt two meditation rooms with different functions. One is a magic circle made of magic stones and special pigments mixed with magic materials.
A quiet room that lights special candles. Sitting and meditating in it can greatly enhance the power of knowledge and belief, slightly enhance perception, and slightly enhance mystery.
The other room mainly uses special incense and self-singing wind chimes. When combined with a special dance, it can greatly increase strength, wealth, slightly increase authority, dexterity, and slightly increase mysterious power. This dance is similar to Lin's
When on Earth, like the Tai Chi exercise practiced by Abel in the park, he danced his body slowly and smoothly, combined with incense and ringtones to enter a meditative state of ecstasy, in order to enhance his power.
Both meditation rooms have shrines to eight gods, as well as their own preferred sacrifices, but this does not mean that magicians in the Lost World must have faith. Like the AD&D novels Lin read when he was on Earth, the Magic Goddess Constructed
Magic Network, mages cast spells through the Magic Network, but they do not necessarily believe in Mystra.
The same is true in the Lost World. The eight powers of the eight gods are used by magicians to form magic, but they do not necessarily believe in the eight or any one god. The belief in the Lost World has quite strict requirements, including
Become a believer, be baptized, pray, take commandments, etc., because gods are real. The miracles they show from time to time are no more deceptive than the gods on earth.
As for the sacrifices in front of the shrine in the meditation room, it is more like a means of transaction for the magician. I borrow your power to cast spells, so I offer the sacrifices you like as the price. This does not mean that it has risen to the level of faith.
In addition, there are many ways to arrange the meditation room, all with different effects. However, considering the cost, Lin can only choose these two most popular meditation rooms. There are also two spaces on the second floor.
The room, plus the empty library, totals three vacant rooms. Perhaps in the future, they can be used to decorate the third, fourth, and fifth meditation rooms.
On the third floor, the ritual room was put aside temporarily after clearing out some remaining magic circle formations that had lost their effectiveness. Because it had no use yet, Lin was not in a hurry to repair the function here.
A corner of the core room becomes Lin's living area. Generally speaking, as a magician as the owner of the tower, the living room and the core room will be separate and independent. The common point is that they are both on the top floor of the magic tower. But considering the actual
Application, and a humble dream before time travel, that is, when I work until my eyes are straight, it is a wonderful thing to have a bed next to me that I can fall down on directly. So Lin did not hesitate to place the bed next to him.
In the core room.
The console has been transformed, from the original complex magic circle with a crystal ball, to something like the futuristic technology in science fiction movies.
As for the mercury mirror energy pool suspended in mid-air, standing upright facing the console, officially known as the Atoli Source Pool, there has been no change.
Firstly, Lin had no idea or need for the transformation of the energy pool, so he did not change it. Secondly, this energy pool can last for thousands of years without losing its effect, and its technology is also used in this era, which is not only stable.
It is recognized as a magical carrier for most types of magic. With all its advantages, it is not an exaggeration to call it the most valuable part of the Tower of the Great Sage.
As for that 'Atoli', he is the builder of this magic tower, one of the members of the brave team that ended the dark age thousands of years ago, and the great sage Atoli from whom the tower is named. It is said that he is also a member of the Magician Association.
One of the founders, a promoter of today's magic technology and development. He also has a reputation for having countless races.
How much credibility there is is a matter of opinion. At least after the era of the explosion of knowledge and countless examples of ancestors who like to tamper with history, it is really interesting to think how much of this kind of legend or history written in black and white is true and how much false.
The last open space that was transformed into a platform will be the focus of Lin's future research. After setting up the astronomical telescope he built himself and setting various measurement scales, Lin looked at the vast starry sky and the two satellites in the dark night. .
Like the Earth's moon, it will wax and wane, but the difference is that it is almost dark red, and it is also very large. This means that the Mysterious World star under your feet is very huge, or that the satellite is far away from the Earth. The surface is extremely close.
The other satellite is black, but has a cyan halo, which does not change with time, as if it is a big eye in the sky staring at the world. This astronomical wonder is unimaginable without seeing it with your own eyes.
But beyond the two satellites, the magnificent Milky Way is the real goal of research. Astronomy was not only Lin's academic qualifications before time travel, but also his interest. After coming to the world of Lost World, it seemed to have become an alternative lifelong ambition.
After twelve years of life experience, the phenomena Lin observed and the substances he discovered were unexpectedly similar to what could be observed and discovered on the earth without the intervention of supernatural forces, that is, magic.
One night when he was looking up at the stars, he couldn't help but wonder if the earth was among the stars - or to be more precise, the earth's sun was one of them. When such a fairy tale-like thought flashed across his mind, , seemed to have taken root and was deeply imprinted in Lin's thoughts.
If the earth's sun can be accurately positioned, does that mean that we can use teleportation magic to return to the hometown we long for?
But before that, Lin still had many difficulties to overcome. For example, in the core room, there was a row of messages in red fonts displayed on the energy pool:
In a few days, a team of inspectors will be dispatched to investigate a large number of murders in the villages under their jurisdiction.
