Chapter 3 Tower Master

Following his teacher into the core of the tower, Harumi looked around curiously. She had never been in such an important place in the Wizard's Academy. It was only today, with her teacher given the duties of guardian and her own magic tower, that she had the opportunity to witness what was so mysterious in the mouths of ordinary people and apprentices.

But for Lin, who is a teacher, this is also the first time. Although he had already learned the knowledge of operating most functions, it was really the first time he had touched the real thing.

But before getting acquainted with the various operations, there is one more important thing to do. Lin came to the console of the magic tower, pressed the position in the center with his right hand, and the mark on the back of his hand echoed the magic array, floating in mid-air in front of him, and the upright mercury energy pool that was connected to the heterotopic plane like a huge mirror began to fluctuate, outputting wave after wave of energy, completely awakening everything in the magic tower. Now, the Tower of the Great Sage is truly awakened.

Place the special magic stone that you have prepared for a long time in the center of the console, the core of the magic circle, and the programming engraved in the magic stone quickly takes over all the functions of the tower.

The high-level magic tower has a tower spirit, like a world before traveling, the so-called artificial intelligence butler. However, as a monument-like building with a thousand years of history, the Tower of the Great Sage does not have such advanced technology, and all the functions of the magic tower require detailed operations and orders from the tower owner.

And this thousand years have not passed in vain, and countless successors have invented countless technologies for similar situations to allow magicians to inherit and master the magic tower more quickly, and become the new tower owner. Lin referred to the technology left by his ancestors, as well as the data of the Great Sage Tower, and combined with his knowledge before the crossing, he made a set of simplest programming to control the magic tower, just like writing drivers for computer hardware.

That's right, before the crossing, as a doctor of physics and astronomy, he had to use special computer programs completely by himself, and he had no wife or son, so he could only rely on watching love (Xinqing) (Yunli) make a sweaty fat house of his own pipe, and it was easy to be a magic programmer in another world.

……

Throwing away the feeling of not knowing whether to be proud or frustrated, Lin activated the function of monitoring the temperature inside the magic tower, made a technology similar to thermal imaging, and combined with the three-dimensional map of the inside of the tower, he quickly saw the uninvited guests in the magic tower.

The body temperature of the newly deceased goblin has not completely dissipated, so it clearly appears on the screen formed by the energy pool. However, there is a clear difference between it and a living goblin. It was on the east side of the first floor, in a structurally broken room. Although it was difficult to get in and out of the place when I was observing, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to hide.

The three smaller hotspots, perhaps the larvae of the goblins. Lin thought so. Judging by the number of this group, there are no female captives and no food, and as well as the conditions that have been observed before, it is likely that they have fled from other places. It's a pity that most of the rooms are enclosed magic towers, which are not good places to live.

"Harumi." Calling out to the girl who was still looking curiously, Lin straightened her robe and said, "Go and help Kaya bring things in." The next step is to tidy up the tower to a condition where it can live in people, and there is still a lot of work. ”

"Yes, teacher." The blonde girl answered, and then walked briskly to find her companion of the same age.

As for the remaining goblins, Lin decided to deal with it himself. On the one hand, the Magic Tower has just taken over, and there are many things that only you can do. Tell the maiden to deal with the remaining enemies, and she will have to crawl through the narrow hole in the wall to enter the room where she is hiding, and she will only have to open the door.

Turning on all the lights in the magic tower, Lin went downstairs and opened the door that had been sealed. Three goblins, who were not newborn or yet adults, hugged each other and cowered in the corner of the brightly lit room.

Seeing the coming, the most basic survival instinct of the creature made the three little goblins show expressions of fear and begging for mercy. It is undeniable that no matter how fierce and ugly the creature is, it is still quite cute in early childhood. Lin smiled kindly, and then released a fireball technique, directly burning the little dolls that were huddled into a ball of ashes. Then I had to deal with the rest of the corpses and collect the loot, so I didn't have much time to care about the goblin toddler.

It's not that the magicians of this world can't set fireballs, but the efficiency of throwing fireballs is no better than that of their own buffer. However, when a fireball can solve everything and there will be no other battles in the future, a fireball will still be much faster than the auxiliary magic you have added to it, and then go up to hand-to-hand combat. In a word: efficiency is paramount.

Strip the goblins of their valuables from the dead in battle. Perhaps the most valuable thing is the bone that fluctuates with magical power. Lin then performed a light object technique, gathering all the corpses into a room dedicated to casting artifacts. The tower's energy pool was fully revived, and the furnace in the foundry room was blazing.

Throw all the dead goblins into the blue flames that are ignited with the purest magical energy. Almost as soon as it came into contact with the flames, the corpse vaporized and vanished, leaving nothing of ashes behind. After cleaning everything up, Lin controlled it with a seal, so that the furnace fire was kept to a minimum and not completely extinguished, and there was no need to turn on the fire.

On the first floor, except for the foundry room, the dilapidated room where the little goblin used to hide was quite empty, but there were two holes in the floor that were quite conspicuous. It seems that it can be used as a warehouse.

There is also a room with several long tables and several large stoves built on the wall, which seem to have been converted into a dining room and kitchen by an unknown tower owner. Rather, there is a map of active planets on the wall, which clearly shows the state of the world's star systems.

The sun and stars are in the center, like the sun of the earth. The planet on which this world is located is in the fourth orbit, known as the Mystery Earth. In addition to this, there are five planets, a total of six planets that make up this star system. The planetary map on the wall represents the current position of the planets. It is also the only arrangement of this great sage tower that has been preserved since a thousand years ago. The rest of the original items have long been taken away, dismantled, and even sent to the Wizards Guild by the previous tower owner. This diagram can be preserved only because the diagram, mechanism and wall are one, and this wall is an important load-bearing component of the magic tower, and it cannot be removed.

The last room is a few scattered weapon racks, and a humanoid wooden shelf for armor. However, only a few rusty wooden-handled iron spear heads stood on the rack.

Of the eight rooms on the second floor of the Magic Tower, one room on the east side has completely disappeared, the left and right two are badly damaged, and the next two are also damaged, leaving only three intact.

One is a library with no books, the owner of the tower dies, and the things here will be taken away by the Magicians Guild; Or the tower owner took the initiative to give up the right to guard the tower and left, and most of the books here were brought and stored by himself, so of course he would take them away.

The remaining two rooms are meditation rooms with different functions, each with its own emphasis on magical powers.

Two of them were damaged, and one was clearly decorated for living, but it was probably just a small dormitory provided by the former tower owner for apprentices. The other room looked like a research room, but it was little other than a few crumbling cabinets and a few large rotten tables.

The two rooms that were badly damaged were used as balcony gardens, and they were both flowers and birds. However, no one has been tidying up for a long time, and now the vines are overgrown with weeds. If you don't use a cane to sweep down the miscanthus grass that is about the same height as a person, you can't see where you can land.

There are three rooms on the third floor. The room on the east side is also damaged, and it seems that the previous tower owner used it as a utility room. The core chamber is protected by the blessing of special powers, so it is as intact as ever. The other intact room is the ritual room, where you can summon other-dimensional creatures and practice destruction magic. Therefore, the ritual room has an enchantment, which is comparable to the core room for the protection of the structure.

As the main range of activities of the tower owner, it must be the highest level of the magic tower. All kinds of rest, sleep, eating, and studying are all solved in the core room. Most of the rooms on the lower floors are used for apprentices or to store things that the tower owner doesn't need for a while.

The platform on the top floor is equipped with the most important facility of each magic tower, an attack magic array. Each tower is different, and this tower of the great sage is arranged with a light bullet attack array, with an effective attack range of X ten, and a maximum attack range of XXX ten. Replaced by earth units, it can probably be understood in this way, the effective attack is 10 km, and the maximum range is 30 km.

In addition to providing mages with residence and research, the most important task of all magic towers in the world of Lost Land is to guard the local area, limit the growth and nuisance of wild creatures, magical beasts, and uncivilized races, and protect the survival and development of the civilized world.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the magician has this awareness, although the magic tower can be owned by private individuals, it is not allowed to be inherited. When the owner of the tower dies or leaves, the ownership of the tower is transferred to the association, which selects the next competent person.

Of course, not everyone is willing to give up a powerful and expensive magic tower. More than 500 years ago, after the death of his teacher, a student of the Dharma Sage claimed the right to inherit the Tower of the Great Sage. The association formed a multi-district alliance and worked together to break through the Tower of the Great Sage, killing all the magicians and apprentices who tried to resist.

The huge hole on the second floor of the Great Sage's Tower is the remains of the battle at that time. And the successor tower owners did not repair it. It's not to warn future generations or anything like that, it's purely because magic materials are expensive.

After a certain period of time, the magic acting on the material will dissipate, and even cause the material itself to be annihilated. Only magic materials can accept the permanent transformation of the shape of the shaping, depict the magic array, and even increase the strength exponentially with the blessing of energy.

Materials with such properties are of course not readily available, but rather scarce. Scarcity means high price, and to what extent is it expensive? The vast majority of magicians only earn money in their lifetime, and they can probably afford to build a floor, and those who know how to manage money can build a second floor. The standard of the magic tower is three to five floors, depending on the identity and energy level of the first tower owner.

In other words, most of the owners of all the magic towers on the continent today are entrusted by the Magician Association to inherit the existing magic towers. Or it is a master and apprentice who has been passed down for several generations and built it with more than a hundred years of savings. Of course, the construction of the Magic Tower with the financial resources of the national level is also the main source of the new tower.
