Chapter VI: Provocation

Everything was as if nothing had happened, and the three of them were still focused on the restoration of the magic tower, but the focus and content of the construction had changed somewhat.

The first is the restoration of the wall, first of all, to restore the magic tower to a completely closed state. The gate was already sturdy, not to mention, and the doors to the open on the third and second floors were heavily reinforced. Defects in the walls of the internal compartments and floors were temporarily put aside. The second is to repair and rebuild the defense system in the tower.

Unlike a typical fortress, the interior of the Magic Tower is designed to be curved for defensive reasons, but it does not mean that the interior of the Magic Tower is free for people to come and go. 'Ten cities of Nink, not a single tower. These are the words left by a famous historical figure in the world of Lost Land.

Connecting the ectopic planes to make a maze, or taking a fireball at a time is a child's trick. More mages have brains, that is, even they themselves do not dare to walk around their towers at will after turning on the defense function.

However, as a monument from a thousand years ago, the Great Sage's Tower does not have the kind of fortifications that destroy all existence. In fact, it can be said that there is no internal defense function at all, and it is not a magic trap that has been triggered and has failed; It's a mechanism that has been too old to use. What Lin has to do is to refill this blank picture scroll with his own ideas and existing resources. …… The latter is preferred.

During this period, the agreed chamber of commerce carriage and horse finally came. In addition to transporting supplies, there was also Lin Yuan's residence, and bulky items that were difficult to carry with him were also sent to the Great Sage's Tower with the caravan.

Originally, this chamber of commerce was only a messenger for the association to contact the tower owners in various places. Later, the contents of the shipment were not only letters, but also special items exchanged between the tower owners and the association, and the subsidies given by the association to the tower owners everywhere. So the messenger turned into a wagon of horses.

With a fleet of horses, some tower owners ask for help to buy something for them, or where to send the output of the magic tower to sell. So the fleet expanded.

Helping others deliver too much, the bigwigs of the association feel that they are doing business, buying the output of magic towers everywhere and then reselling them, as well as selling the goods that tower owners everywhere need and delivering them to their homes, and they should also make a profit. So the Chamber of Commerce was formed.

Other distinctions will look at what a certain distinction will do, and the benefits are considerable. So other chapters followed suit.

To this day, the Chamber of Commerce under the Wizards' Guild has its own affiliation, although it will vary according to the district. The scope of business is not limited to magicians, but also extends to ordinary people.

But for the magician who is the owner of the tower, there are various preferential measures. After all, for the Association, mastering the mages who control the strategic weapons in various places is a major priority. There is no need to deviate from morality in such a trivial matter as money. On the contrary, there are common interests, which makes the various tower owners even more inseparable from the assistance of the Wizards Association.

From Lin's point of view, what is good in the logistics industry is to make money. The Wizards Association has integrated the shopping platform with logistics, and has started a unique business, and it is difficult to make money or not.

Making money is inevitably eye-catching. But what kind of existence is the Wizards' Guild. The force of the various districts, the elimination of one or two small countries is not a big problem. From the past to the present, there have been people who have heard of robbing the caravan of the association, but they have never heard of robbing them and they can be safe and sound. It must be destroyed, and even the soul will be captured and tortured for a hundred years.

Of course, the armament to protect the caravan still has to be put out to avoid being unsightly on the road. Lin watched as he rode the Locke, a huge bird that had better endurance than horses, was more agile and could fly for short periods of time. It belongs to a kind of magical beast - the warriors who wear all the magic and aura, protect the chariots and horses in front and back, and can't help but make people's eyes hot. It's the same feeling as seeing someone on Earth wearing an Armani suit, wearing a Rolex, and driving a Maserati.

What's more, it's definitely not a showman who can be a caravan guard. If you don't have the experience of rolling in the pile of dead people, you can't get a high salary from the association, and you can't get any magic items on your body.

It is a pity that such force is not under the command of Lin, the tower master. Caravan guards do not interfere in local affairs unless someone grabs them for nothing. If it's just a peep, they're just on guard.

Just like now, the sight from the forest thought it was hidden, but it had already fallen into the eyes of these people. That's why the guards maintain a semi-circular cordon formation, surrounding the chariots and horses they are trying to protect.

Lin also knew that the boxes of items that had been brought into the magic tower from the carriage would inevitably arouse the greed of some people, even though they had no way of knowing the contents. The silence of these days does not mean that there will be peace in the future. I just uphold the spirit of responding to all changes with the same and wait for the other party to strike first.

In addition, the longer the time drags on, the more fully prepared he will be, and Lin is not worried at all. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until one afternoon that I was about to put those behind me that someone who couldn't hold his breath finally appeared.

When three burly 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 apprentices. These alarms come and go several times a day, but most of them are caused by wild animals that have escaped from the forest.

Lin, who had been in the core room for several days in a row, redeploying the entire magic tower's energy structure next to the console, looked at the people on the monitoring screen presented by the mirror of the energy pool, and he didn't dare to confirm whether it was the target. Wild adventurers passing through magic towers and buying magic items are not uncommon in the Lost World, and it is also one of the ways for many tower owners to earn money.

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. Harumi could tell at a glance that the three of them were from that village and were the ones who were leading the bullying of her. Thinking of her frightened past, she couldn't help but shrink behind her companion, trembling slightly.

Looking at the appearance of the apprentice, Lin sighed, and while reaching out to touch his head, he also messed up the hair of the two girls like a mischief, and said, "According to the previous plan, go down and prepare." ”

The well-groomed hair was messed up, and the blonde girl forgot the horrible memory for a moment, pouting disapprovingly and looking at the perpetrator viciously. On the other hand, Kaya, who has two big braids, has not become messy because her hair is firm, and she is also a calmer personality. Pulling the sleeves of the girls of the same age, the two of them ran away.

Lin silently turned on the tower's defense functions one by one, but the automatically triggered mechanism was still turned off. It is necessary for him to talk to the other party first, and after determining his attitude, he can only take the next action.

I saw that the magic light of the console turned from blue to red, and instantly extended to all the energy nodes of the entire tower, and then went out, and returned to the appearance of an ordinary stone building. There was no sign of all this change outside the tower, just as it had been for thousands of years.

The door to the magic tower is open. In the world of Maze, when there is no war, the door of the magic tower is open during the day, which means that it is a tower with a master, and adventurers in need are welcome to buy supplies or seek refuge.

However, in the eyes of the three leaders of the village, this is no different from looking for death. The former owner of the Great Sage's Tower closed the door of the Magic Tower day and night. Every time, they had to slam the door fiercely and utter threatening words, so that the other party would open a small crack and put in their own people.

Today, now that the door is open, they will not shy away from entering the magic tower. Looking at the appearance of the first floor, the original damaged places have been repaired, and the man standing in the middle can't help licking his lips, fantasizing in his heart that the new tower owner is a fat sheep.

"New here, I don't know how to greet the guests."

For a while, Lin thought that he had returned to the period when he had just crossed over and was looked down upon everywhere. Since being promoted to a full-fledged magician, he has never been treated like this, and even nobles or magicians of higher rank than themselves have maintained a certain level of respect.

It seems that this game is not going to be good. Lin thought to himself, opened the sound transmission magic array, and said, "Three distinguished guests, please go up to the core room on the third floor." ”

The three people in the surveillance screen showed disdainful sneers. Before going upstairs, adjust the sidearm to the right position. The man in the lead took out a dagger glowing with magic from his bosom and hid it in the palm of his right hand with his backhand. That must be the demon-breaking dagger that Harumi said pierced her stone skin technique.

The three of them, completely unaware that they were under surveillance, thought they were ready for everything, and then went up to the third floor. Lin who was watching the monitoring was speechless for a while.

The monitoring system is taken from the concept of the earth, and is implemented by the magic of the lost world, although there are other magic spells that can produce similar effects, but the complete monitoring concept does not exist in the existing magic system. So it's normal for the three people who went upstairs to be dazed.

But in the magic tower with the master, it is very abnormal to be so arrogant. Is the ex too weak? Lin guessed.

Turning off the surveillance footage, getting up and facing the direction of the stairs, Lin silently waited for the three to appear. The most important thing is that the three of them are scolding, there is really no need to continue monitoring, just listening to it can tell how impatient they are.

Walking through the door, before he could stand firmly, the biggest rough man said in a loud voice, "New, your predecessor had a good time working with our village." I think we can continue to work together in the same way as before. ”

"The previous method?"

"It's just that we produce the original materials, and you can help us make magic materials."

"Then ......" Lin asked with some hesitation, "how much can I get?" ”

"Haha, what kind of payment?" The three strong men looked at each other and laughed, and one of them said, "Your ex was kind enough to help us for free." I'm sure your heart should be good too. ”
