Chapter 8 Renovation completed

Forty-three people, this is the result of Lin personally counting early in the morning. Considering that there may be people who are so talented that they can't die if they can stay in the poisonous fog all night, after purifying the air on the first floor, they all come up with the mending knife and several heads.

However, the ropes in stock were not enough, so the two apprentices simply went into the forest to find vines and wrapped several strands into one. Lengths of which were tied, hands were tied, feet were tied, or they were directly around their necks, and more than forty corpses were hoisted to the outer wall of the magic tower.

Looking at the walls that almost filled the entire intact part of the tower, a total of forty-six corpses in a miserable state of death, Lin Ke was not at all worried about whether there would be a plague.

Because seeing the vultures and some carnivorous birds starting a delicious feast, and even the bird-shaped demonic beasts in the forest, quickly snatching a person and flying away, Lin wondered if there was a chance for these exposed bodies to decompose in this remote place.

Lin looked in the direction of the village, and he didn't know if the village could still stand in such a desolate place after losing more than forty people. But these people are all to blame, and there is nothing to sympathize with. In addition, from the very beginning, he decided to come to the Great Sage Tower to develop, so he didn't use that village as a help and put it in the plan. Whether the village is destroyed or not is not in Lin's consideration.

The threat from the village is over for now. After days of calm, the renovation and interior layout of the magic tower also came to an end, and everything was finally on track.

What is more troublesome is the design of the bathroom that is not available in the world of Lost Land. After more than a decade without a toilet, Lin was depressed to the point of wanting to commit suicide. Now that there are conditions, I am determined to build it. The faucet is directly connected to the water elemental plane, and the shower head passes through a heated magic circle.

The big project was the burial of the sewage pipes, and even the energy channels were replanned and deployed in order to hide the pipes in the walls. Especially the burial of the septic tank, if it weren't for the fact that the feces and urine were used for another purpose in this world, Lin Du wanted to simply connect directly to the heterotopic plane and throw it on the head of the unlucky ghost.

The dining room and kitchen on the first floor are the first rooms to be sorted out except for the core outside. Lin also used a refrigerator set up by the Frozen Magic Array. In addition to marinating, all meats can finally be stored in a frozen and refrigerated place.

The reason why I don't think of the refrigerator as a commodity for coming to the world of Lost Land and digging out gold is because the cost of magic stones to maintain this thing is unimaginably high, and even aristocratic families can rarely afford it. Coming to the Great Sage Tower to settle down, it was also maintained by the energy supply of that semi-permanent energy pool, and Lin Ke didn't even dare to think about it before.

And to build a basic energy pool, enough for the nobles to hire a small team of hunters, go out hunting every day, and so on for three to five hundred years without interruption. Just by calculating the price ratio, you know that you don't have a head.

Suppose you want to sell it to another tower owner. All magicians have their own means of preserving food, and the most murderous thing is to set up a magic circle to stop time, so that the green vegetables and fruits will always remain at the moment they are just picked. Seeing that kind of data, as well as the cost of materials for setting up the magic array, Lin directly skipped all the unrealistic ideas.

After the wooden frame was re-nailed in the weapons room, it was enriched, and the most important thing was the large and small weapons of the master and apprentice. When going out, in addition to the main weapon that is in hand, some spare, long-distance, and special weapons and tools must be prepared. Sometimes to save your own life, you rely on these things that you don't use often.

But now that you're living in a magic tower, there's no need to bring all of these things with you. Like a crossbow that was taller than the two little apprentices, flying claws for climbing, and a two-handed big sword, the Qinglong Glaive Knife that Lin didn't know what he was thinking about, and then he was disgusted by everyone who saw it. After oiling and maintaining, all these are put into the weapons room.

What is more special is that the captured Demon Breaking Dagger is placed in a conspicuous position on the short weapon rack. Demon Breaker weapons are not rare, but they are not special weapons that can be found everywhere. In addition to the difference between the material and ordinary magic weapons, the spell patterns engraved on them are also quite valuable for research. So Lin kept it.

There were a few more iron ingots in the corners of the casting room, as well as leather leather after the metal buckle was removed. These are the monsters, goblins, and the like that were easily eliminated during the previous journey to the Great Sage's Tower, as well as the trophies contributed by the village invaders, and re-forged them. Since there was no other need for the time being, and there was no need for that kind of rudimentary, rough and eye-catching weapon armor, it was all recuperated.

The rest of the warehouse was piled up with rice, wheat, and other miscellaneous items that had been sent by the caravan not long ago.

On the second floor, seven rooms have been restored, and a platform with half canopy.

The library was emptied, and because there were really not a few books, it was placed directly in the core room, next to Lin's bed, and on the bookshelf against the wall. At this stage, there are only two large tables and two stools in the research room. When going out on adventures, the portable grinding bowl for herbs is placed in the center of one of the tables very lonely.

The room shared by the two girls was nicely decorated as they wished. The bed, small cabinet, and wardrobe are all set for one person, and only the vanity mirror is shared by two people.

Cayado made a shelf with all sorts of strange collected specimens, killed frogs, lizards, bats, supposedly demonic claws, skull-headed candlesticks, and an unknown handful of dried flowers. Looking at those collections, Lin Du felt that this little apprentice had the potential to be a magician than himself.

Harumi had a few potted plants, pitcher plants, flytraps, man-eating flowers that hadn't grown yet, and even a mandala grass. I like flowers and plants is very girly, but I like this kind of flowers and plants...... The teacher is speechless.

There are two meditation rooms, and the three masters and apprentices are very carefully arranged. There will be so many meditation rooms, not for two apprentices to have one room for each person, it is purely related to the magic principles of the Maze World.

At the beginning of the crossing, Lin Ke was very unaccustomed to a lot of common sense in the world of the lost land. The basic nature of magic is not the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, nor the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold, and water, but the eight powers.

Knowledge, power, authority, faith, wealth, dexterity, perception, mystery. There are also eight corresponding deities.

Magic, on the other hand, is the supernatural power that is exerted through the arrangement and matching of mediums after accumulating the power of these eight powers.

The meditation room is a space that accelerates the accumulation of these eight powers.

After spending most of the savings, the two meditation rooms were rebuilt, each with its own focus. A magic circle made of magic stones and special pigments mixed with magical materials, and a special candle is lit when used. Meditation in it can greatly enhance the power of knowledge and faith, slightly increase perception, and slightly enhance mystery.

The other room mainly uses special incense and self-ssonicing wind chimes. Combined with a special dance, it can greatly increase strength and wealth, slightly increase authority, dexterity, and slightly increase mystical power. This dance is similar to the Tai Chi played by Ah Bo in the park when Lin was on Earth, slowly but smoothly dancing his body, with incense and bells to enter the realm of meditation and selflessness, so as to enhance his power.

Both meditation rooms have shrines for eight gods, as well as their own favorite offerings, but that doesn't mean that magicians in the Lost World have to have faith. Just like the AD&D novels that Lin read when he was on Earth, the goddess of magic builds a magic web, and the mages cast spells through the magic web, but they don't necessarily believe in Mystra.

The same is true of the world of the Lost Land, where the eight powers of the eight gods, magicians use their powers to compose magic, but they don't necessarily believe in eight or any of them. The belief in the lost world has quite strict requirements, including initiation, baptism, prayer, precepts, etc., because the gods are real. The miracles that are displayed from time to time are no more deceptive than those of the gods of the earth.

As for the sacrifice in front of the shrine in the meditation room, it is more like a means of trading for magicians. I borrowed your power to cast spells, so I offered sacrifices that you liked. It does not mean that it has risen to the level of faith.

In addition, there are many different ways to set up the meditation room, and they all have different effects. However, considering the cost, Lin can only choose the two most popular meditation rooms. On the second floor, two empty rooms have been sorted out, and the empty library has been emptied for a total of three empty rooms, which may be used as the third, fourth, and fifth meditation rooms in the future.

On the third floor, the ritual room was temporarily shelved after clearing some of the remnants of the enchantment magic circle that had lost its effectiveness. Since there was no use for it yet, Lin was not in a hurry to fix the function here.

A corner of the core chamber becomes the living area of the forest. Generally speaking, the mage who is the owner of the tower will live in a separate room from the core room, and the common point is that they are both on the top floor of the magic tower. But considering the practical application, as well as a humble dream before the crossing, it is a wonderful thing to have a bed next to you that can fall down directly when you work until your eyes are straight. So Lin didn't hesitate to put the bed in the core room.

The console has undergone a transformation, from the original complex magic array with crystal balls, to become quite a science fiction movie, the flavor of futuristic technology.

As for the mercury mirror energy pool suspended in mid-air, standing upright facing the console, officially known as the Atoli Source Pool, there was no change.

For the transformation of the energy pool, Lin has neither a clue nor a demand, so it does not change. Moreover, this energy pool can last for thousands of years without diminishing its effect, and its technology is also used in this era, not only is it highly recognized for its stability, but it is also enough to serve as a carrier of most kinds of magic. With all these advantages, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most valuable part of the Great Sage Tower.

As for that 'Atoli', it is the builder of this magic tower, one of the members of the brave team that ended the Dark Ages thousands of years ago, and the great sage of Atoli, who is also the origin of the tower's name. He is also said to be one of the founders of the Wizards' Guild and a promoter of magical technology and development today. and the reputation of being too numerous to be prepared.

How much credibility is there, depending on the opinion. At least after the era of the explosion of knowledge, and the countless examples of ancestors who loved to tamper with history, it is really intriguing how many such legends or history in black and white are true and how much are false.

The last open space, which has been transformed into a platform, is the focus of Lin's future research. Set up the astronomical telescope he built by himself, set the rulers of various measurements, and Lin looked at the vast starry sky and two satellites in the dark night.

A moon, like the Earth's moon, will have a change in circles, except that it is close to dark red, and it is also very large. This means that the Lost Earth World Star under your feet is very large, or the satellite is very close to the surface.

The other satellite is black, but it has a cyan halo that does not change with time, like a big eye in the sky gazing at the world. This astronomical spectacle is unimaginable without seeing it with one's own eyes.

But beyond the two moons, the magnificent Milky Way is the real target of research. Astronomy was not only Lin's education before the crossing, but also his interest. After coming to the world of Lost Land, it seems to have become an alternative lifelong career.

Twelve years of life experience, the phenomena that Lin observed, the matter he discovered, without the influence of supernatural forces, that is, magic intervention, were surprisingly similar to what the earth could observe and discover.

One night when he looked up at the stars, he couldn't help but wonder if there was the Earth in the starry sky—or more accurately, the Earth's sun, one of them. When such a fairytale-like thought flashed by, it seemed to be deeply imprinted in Lin's thoughts as if it had taken root.

If you can accurately locate the sun on the earth, does that mean that you can use teleportation magic to return to the hometown you have been dreaming of?

But before that, Lin still has a lot of difficulties to overcome. For example, the core room appears on the energy pool, and the message in red font is displayed:

In a few days' time, a team of ombudsmen will be dispatched to investigate a large number of killings in its villages.
