Each pool of energy, regardless of the rationale of its construction, is nothing more than communicating with an alien plane, or harboring some kind of power, and then slowly extracting it, releasing eight powers that contain a large and chaotic amount of it. Then connect the magic array through the energy channel, and after the transformation of the magic array, it becomes an orderly and quantitative arrangement of powers, so as to produce the corresponding effect.

As long as the instantaneous energy consumption does not drain the energy pool and disrupt its balance, the energy pool can recover its maximum amount of confinement to the main plane over time. This is why each pool is theoretically capable of semi-permanent operation.

Once the energy pool is constructed, it will leave a mark in the Overworld, perhaps a complex code of powers, or a meaningless arrangement of words. Magicians can use this mark to do simple messaging. This messaging is real-time, but it is also costly.

If it weren't for other tower owners who had energy pools and knew how to pass on the mark of the target tower, the communication between mages would still be based on letters. The only exception to this is the association that governs the Mage and the Magic Tower, which often uses this method of messaging, both for the sake of timeliness and to highlight the importance of the message.

What does that sound like? Knowing a certain IP, I ran to his home's message board to leave a message. That's the first thing Lin thought when he first heard about this feature.

In fact, in the past ten years of studying and studying magic, I have been learning how to use spiritual power or other mediums as a guide to arrange and combine eight powers to perform magic. Putting aside the factors of mental power and medium, arranging and combining that part is similar to writing a computer program when you are on Earth.

The difference is that the basic elements of the earth's computer software are two-bit 0 and 1, but after coming to the world of the world, it is based on eight powers, that is to say, the starting point is eight-bit. Lin knew this in his years of studying magic; When I came to the Magic Tower and saw this huge circuit board, I was almost convinced of the feasibility.

In the days that followed, Lin drew the star map mainly at night, because the stars could only be observed at night. During the day, in addition to directing the magic process of the two apprentices, he focused on the computerized programming of the magic tower.

And if you want to computerize the magic tower, you don't want to make a game, relive the old dream of Super Mario, or the thrill of mowing the lawn of Warriors of the Three Kingdoms. You must know that Lin's work at night is to draw star maps, so it is inevitable to do astrophysical calculations.

The amount of calculation is so huge and complex, if there is no computer assistance, relying on a person to calculate by hand, the dream of returning home is like a bubble, gorgeous and untouchable. If the computerization of the magic tower can be realized to the extent that he envisions, then maybe, it is really just maybe, and there is a slight possibility of returning to Earth.

But all these beautiful dreams must first deal with the next trouble, the Ombudsman squad from the Wizards Guild.

There is at least one Grand Mage's five-member combat team to investigate the mage's wrongdoing or evidence of crimes. It has the power to arrest and suspend the authority of the magician, and if it is dissatisfied, it can be killed on the spot. It can be said that the policeman is also a judge among magicians.

The legal trial in the world of Lost Land is not primitive, and various laws and criminal responsibilities are clear to a considerable extent, but it is still not flattering in terms of evidence collection. And this team of ombudsmen should be the last resort of that village. Lin thought to himself, and at the same time deduced the other party's general routine.

Given the prophecy type of spells, or summoning a dead soul that is clear enough to explain everything, there aren't many mages who are good at it, and the cost is considerable, so these methods can't be the norm.

To establish a crime, there is no doubt that human and physical evidence is required. When the whole village testified in unison, the magician who was the owner of the tower entered the village and slaughtered the villagers, and the physical evidence was dozens of corpses hanging outside the tower.

In terms of the state of the Lost World, Lin's punishment is almost certain. All that remains is to ask the parties if they have any excuses, and then strip the tower owner of his status and bring him back to the association's court for trial. Or solve it on the spot and take the head back to pay the order.

If the person is wronged and is willing to pay the price to hire a magician who can prophesy or summon spirits to prove his innocence, then the group that was falsely accused will in turn be retaliated against by the Ombudsman for the crime of false accusation. However, it is obvious that the magician who used to be the master of the Great Sage's Tower did not have that kind of financial resources, and now Lin does not have it either.

However, Lin did not sit still, because the requirements of the inspectors were only to present sufficient evidence, and it was not necessary to use any method to achieve this goal. Then for a young man of the 21st century who has crossed over to the earth, there are quite a lot of means, and he has been prepared for a long time. Whoever calls his own father a lawyer must know how to protect himself without exploiting legal loopholes.

While waiting, one quiet programming afternoon, Halumi, who was supposed to be practicing magic in the research room, hurried into the core room and said, "Teacher, teacher, the guest is here." ”

With a flick of the trackball on the right side of the console, the mirror of the energy pool was replaced by a view from outside the tower. I didn't see anyone, but there was smoke from two fireworks in the sky not far away, the first was red, white and blue, and the second was yellow.

Some groups with special identities will use this means to inform others of their arrival. The first three-colored smoke represents the branch of the Wizards' Association to which Lin belongs; The second smoke represents the identity of the Ombudsman. So the person who came was obvious.

Halfway through the program, Lin instructed the apprentice beside him, "Go and inform Kaya, let's go to the first floor to greet the guests." ”

The open door of the magic tower soon welcomed five magicians, three of whom had two golden spikes embroidered on their robes, telling their status as great magicians. Without exception, everyone who entered the door was glowing with various magical aura, which meant that all of them had applied all the defensive means and auxiliary magic they could use. The weapons are also placed in a proper position and can be removed at any time. One of them did not carry a staff, sword, or the like, but had ten fingers wrapped in mist of different colors.

This group of warlike magicians knows very well what it means to walk into a magic tower that someone else has mastered. Naturally, he would not be unprepared, naively thinking that just by virtue of the prestige of the Inspector, he could scare a magician who could become the master of the tower. If they do fight, it is expected that they will lose a few men, but they are also confident that they will be able to kill the tower master here.

However, the three masters and apprentices who stood on the first floor to greet them dispelled the doubts of the inspectors, because it represented the goodwill of the Lord of the Magic Tower.

For them, navigating traps to the third floor and then killing a magician with a near-infinite cast spell against his back to the energy pool is a very different thing than killing a magician in line of sight. is willing to reveal his true identity, which means that the other party has no intention of fighting.

But the Inspectors still did not let their guard down, and the great magician who took the lead, with a body of tendons, spoke: "Your Excellency, I believe that the previous message has informed me of the purpose of waiting. We ask for your cooperation. ”

"Of course, my lords, please follow me to the core room. I will show the images as evidence. ”

Seeing that the five supervisors all nodded in approval, Lin said, "Please." He took the lead and took the two apprentices up the stairs.

Coming to the core room on the third floor, Lin walked to the console and operated. I don't care at all about the Ombudsman who is faintly encircled and standing behind him. After letting down his guard, it is not uncommon for the tower master to kill the offender in one fell swoop. So Lin didn't care whether the other party was rude or not. Just explained the actions he was going to do to avoid misunderstandings.

The two apprentices stepped aside and waited, in front of a group of official magicians and great magicians, who were not even qualified to speak. Lin is proficient in operating the results of the past few days of programming, and the small screen of light and shadow that appears in front of the console is synchronously displayed on the mirror energy pool.

Debuting in front of outsiders, the first web browser in the world of Lost Land is opened. Although there are only the function buttons and URL column at the top, the content at the bottom is blank, there is no search engine page, and there is no homepage of any portal.

In fact, in just over ten days, after completing the communication protocol and establishing the domain name server and web server, Lin felt that he had played extraordinarily. The rest of the time was to make an additional forum website. Speaking of which, the text of the world of the lost land belongs to the pinyin script, which is much easier to restore the software and programs built by Westerners on the earth. Many concepts can be applied without thinking about how to change them.

When you enter a short text in the URL column, the page is immediately imported to the only completed website. The title is the big word 'forum', and the functions in the upper right corner are four simple ones: registration, login, search, and description. There are two discussion areas at the bottom, namely 'The Tower of the Great Sage' and 'Miscellaneous'.

Touch your finger directly to the light curtain in front of the console, enter the 'Miscellaneous' discussion area, and click on the only discussion thread: 'The Villagers Attack the Tower of the Great Sage', which contains two video files. The film is divided into nine squares, eight of which are inside the Tower of the Great Sage, and one is outside the gate facing the tower.

The first video shows the first wave of representatives of the three villages, starting from entering the Tower of the Great Sage, to speaking ill of the core room, and then being killed. In the second video, the villagers walk out of the forest at night with torches and are locked on the first floor of the magic tower, paralyzed by a lightning blast that fills the poisonous mist. Then came a long time until early in the morning, when Lin came forward to purify the air and mend the knife. The whole process is accompanied by voice, but there are no subtitles.
