Chapter 1061 Common Mage Tower, Re-transfer of Authority
In addition to the precautions related to controlling the scepter, Master Steven also provides more information about this watchtower, as well as operating instructions.
And all of this is a completely novel feeling for Shaduo and Niya, who have long been accustomed to the existence of the tower spirit.
But after listening to it more, Xia Duo became a little bored with these almost clumsy and cumbersome mechanical operations. In fact, there is no harm without comparison.
In the Tower of Time, he can ask the tower spirit to send someone or something directly to him, or ask the tower spirit to send a message to someone, or set a reminder for a certain time period in the future, or even adjust certain things independently.
Regional functions.
But in the Watchtower, this is simply impossible.
To give another simple example, the Tower of Time has an automatic elevator, but here, even those with the highest authority need to climb the stairs by themselves.
If you don't want to climb the stairs, you can also cast teleportation by yourself. If you want the Mage Tower to take the initiative to help, that's simply impossible.
All functions of this watchtower rely on the active control of those with relevant authority. If the person with relevant authority forgets the operation instructions, then I'm sorry, the watchtower will never be lenient just because the other party has relevant authority.
In fact, the setting of internal permissions in the watch tower is also very inconvenient.
Except for the control scepter with the highest authority, all other lower-level authorities need to create magic items with relevant marks. Only by carrying them with you can you have the relevant permissions. If you don't bring them, then you're sorry. It's enough if you don't treat them as enemies.
…
After finally introducing the positive energy pool on the top of the watch tower and the blazing sun array that maintains the "light bulb" outside, Steven proposed to borrow the teleportation array of the watch tower:
"Your Excellency Shado, Master Savile, the handover has been completed. Everything here will be left to you two. I need to return to Severton as soon as possible to resume my life. If it is convenient, please let me borrow the teleportation circle here."
"Of course, thank you Master Steven for the detailed introduction!"
Neither Shaduo nor Niya had the habit of turning against others, but Niya was not proficient in operating the watch tower. Under Steven's guidance, it took several attempts to complete the unlocking process of the teleportation circle.
After sending Steven away, Shado and Niya went to the library on the third floor again to look for the operation manual of the watch tower.
As I said before, there is no folding space inside the watch tower. How big it looks from the outside is how big it is inside. This library completely occupies one floor, but there are not many books in it.
There are only two bookshelves, and they are not full yet.
The two of them easily found a few operating manuals in a corner that had obviously gone through a long period of time and were full of traces of reading. They each took one and started reading.
Niya slowly flipped through page after page, but Xia Duo only flipped through it quickly and put it down. Then he quickly reviewed the contents of the manual in his mind, thought for a moment, and said to Niya:
"For the time being, let's maintain the original operating instructions."
"Maintain the original order?"
Niya happened to turn to the introduction to the reset command in the manual. Seeing what Xia Duo said, she couldn't help but be a little curious, "If you don't change the command, aren't you worried that there will be loopholes that can be exploited by the mages who were here before?"
"Don't worry, just cancel other lower-level permissions. Of course, in the long run, it will be necessary to replace new instructions. But now you have not even figured out the general function of the watch tower, so you have rashly changed the new instructions.
I’m just worried about loopholes!”
After reading the operation manual, Sha Duo naturally knew that the control of this mage tower was indeed as described by Steven before, quite complicated.
If you are not careful, you may indeed be negligent, resulting in permission loopholes.
In the past, the instructions and related permission settings recorded in the watchtower's operation manual were already quite complete. As long as the lower-level permissions were cancelled, you could feel free to explore.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the builder and the previous controller did not leave any backdoors, and the control scepter Niya obtained is the real highest authority.
Speaking of which, it is indeed safer to use the Mage Tower, an important asset that allows the Mage to live and work, if it is designed and constructed by oneself.
…
Niya accepted Sha Duo's suggestion, but she directly put down the operation manual in her hand and handed the control scepter to Sha Duo:
"I think you should take control of this mage tower. Recently, I have some new ideas on the research on magic background fluctuations. I don't want to be distracted by the mage tower at this time."
With that said, Niya was ready to untie the link with the control scepter.
But such an action really scared Sha Duo, who quickly stopped Nia, "Have you forgotten how Steven transferred the permissions just now? If you disconnect the link here, the Watchtower will enter the alert state immediately.
Even if you accept the control scepter again later, you will not be able to gain real authority!"
Perhaps even the designers of the Watchtower had never thought of such a situation. If Niya really disconnected, she and Shado would be trapped here.
Even if there is no one in control of the mage tower, it is not easy to escape from it.
Niya realized that she was being reckless, but she did not intend to change the decision she had made. "From now on, the place where we will spend most of our time will definitely be at the Tower of Time. It doesn't matter who controls it.
"But if it were me, it might take me a long time to fully control this place. You don't want someone to sneak in and destroy the mage tower as soon as we take over it! So you better do it!"
"Niya, you-" Sha Duo still wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the possibility that Niya said, he was really worried.
If he takes over the Watchtower, he will indeed be able to take control of the place faster than if Niya takes over. Since Niya doesn't mind, why should he insist on refusing!
In fact, as a senior arcanist, no matter which organization he joins, being assigned a mage tower like a watch tower is the most basic treatment.
But to be honest, most senior arcanists don't think highly of such a mage tower.
Just like Niya said, the place where the two of them will stay most in the future will definitely be the Tower of Time. This is just a place used to obtain the Mithril share from the Alfa Federation and the pilot subsidy from the Severnton Council.
You really don’t need to think too much.
With this in mind, Xia Duo did not refuse. Soon, he and Niya once again arrived at the inheritance room located on the main control floor.
Just like Steven's previous transfer of permissions, Niya's transfer of permissions this time is also very simple. All you need to do is unlink the control scepter from the inheritance circle, and then switch to Shado to link it.
In the end, the highest authority of the watchtower fell on Xia Duo.
"Follow me, I will make you a lower-level authority badge first, otherwise we will have to stay together all the time, which will be very inconvenient."
"Well, I knew it was right to leave the watchtower to you!"
