"Is the tower master here?"

On a leisurely evening, at the gate on the first floor of the Great Sage's Tower, such a call was heard. Lin emerged from the stairwell that had been transformed into an enclosed stairwell, and in front of him were six adventurers. Looking at the stark dress, guess that such a combination is a double warrior, an archer, a mage, a monk, and a hunter.

The difference between a hunter and an archer is that the former is lightly armed with a short bow, while the latter is armoured with a long bow. Hunters often also have pathfinder and outpost duties, and are also good at hunting, tracking, or avoiding monsters in the wild. Some teams that can't find good hunters will replace them with rogue-type classes.

It's a pretty standard small adventure group. Lin stepped forward and said politely, "In this remote place, it is really rare to see high-level warriors. I don't know what happened to your distinguished guests? ”

Most of these people have capable eyes and large muscles. Although the armor armor is a little mottled and discolored, it is definitely well-maintained and can play a complete protective role. The older hoplite inside, who was the leader of the group, took a step forward and said, "The journey has passed through this place, and it is getting late, and I want to borrow it for the night." Will leave early tomorrow morning. ”

The magic tower of the Lost World has the responsibility of guarding a place, and theoretically, it also serves as a shelter and supply station for adventurers.

Of course, the magic tower is also different from a full-time hotel, if you want to eat and drink here, don't expect the magician to be like the little two who run the hall, waiting before and after the saddle, everything has to come by yourself. If you borrow it in the tower, don't think about any soft beds, clean rooms, basically empty rooms or warehouses, restaurants and other places, and sleep in the corner for the night. The only good thing is that you don't have to worry about being attacked by nocturnal beasts in the middle of the night, and for the most part, you don't have to send people to keep vigil.

But there is a premise for all this, that is, to dare to enter the magic tower where the tower master has the power of life and death. Although it is not as good as the Song Dynasty in China, the top inns on the road either sell human meat buns or prepare to make customers into buns. It can be said that it is very common for adventurers to go into the tower to buy some magic weapons and props, or to replenish some food and water. But to fall asleep defenselessly in such an environment, there are really not many people who have the courage to do so.

So hearing such a request, Lin was quite surprised. But it's just like the saying in my hometown: rely on your parents at home, and rely on friends when you go out. I am not a character like Sun Erniang in the Water Margin, so it is nothing to let people nest for one night, and of course there is some remuneration to get afterwards, so I agreed. Pointing to the room with the door open, he said:

"You can stay in the restaurant. The space is quite large, and the tables and chairs can be moved. There is a stove inside that you can use as you please, and there are some jerky in the storage compartment if you want food. ”

"Thank you, Tower Master." The warrior who took the lead saluted slightly. After Lin returned the salute, he was about to walk back to the third floor. The layout of the magic tower is the same, and the higher the floor, the more important it is, which also means that you must not enter. Guests are active on the ground floor. As for the storage, weapons, and casting rooms on the first floor, the doors are all magically locked. Unless the colleague in the group makes a move, the average person doesn't want to go in. Of course, if that magician really made a move, Lin Ye, as the tower master, would definitely know it as soon as possible, and then make a response.

So on the whole, Lin is not afraid of outsiders entering the magic tower. For this kind of passing guest, he does not need to be too enthusiastic, nor is it appropriate to be too cold. Asking for a clear purpose and a few polite greetings is enough. It's just that he wants to keep things simple, but usually things don't go as he thinks.

"That tower master, why did you say that village in your territory is empty?"

Looking for something? This group of people.

Lin's thoughts flashed, and he looked back at the adventurers, and it was a young warrior among them who spoke. The armor is shiny, and there is a faint fluctuation of magical power. This is quite high-level magical armor with its own defensive magic. However, it was this set of high-end products on his body that made him a little out of place with others. And this sense of disobedience also includes his expression.

Some people were angry, some were shocked, and some were puzzled, but the young man had a proud look on his face, tilted his head, and said solemnly: "I heard that in the territory of this magic tower, there is a village where good people live. Now the village is empty, and there are many bones hanging from your tower. Can you explain what's going on? ”

Silently, he wiped the third knuckle of his index finger with the thumb of his right hand, and two water mirrors instantly appeared next to Lin. The image that appears in the mirror is the image of the villagers breaking into the magic tower and being killed. In a cold tone, he said, "A mob came into the tower to kill me, and then they all died in the tower." He tried to slander me again in the association, so he was punished by the inspectors. It doesn't matter to me how they end. Are you still satisfied with this answer? ”

Although Lin also has a bit of a temper, of course he will be unhappy to be questioned like this, but this does not mean that he does not even have the idea of explaining. used to watch the play, and when I saw those self-righteous protagonists, they didn't even want to say things that could be explained in two sentences, so they had to make things happen. Every time I look at it, I want to vomit blood every time.

Now that I've met it, I understand that I'm so unhappy that I don't want to answer. But he said it anyway, although I don't know if it worked. After all, the noble man on the other side has nostrils on the door of his head, and it is debatable whether he can understand people's words or not.

Sure enough, this benevolent brother didn't look at the picture in the water mirror at all, and walked straight forward, about to interrogate, but was pulled back by the more stable heavy soldier who was traveling with him. Pressing the young man's mouth, the team leader apologized and said, "I'm sorry, our young man is a little unreasonable and offended the tower owner. Please don't take it personally. ”

The struggling young man pulled away the soldier's hand and scolded loudly: "Schmidt, you bastard, don't let me go." Don't forget who you are, how dare you do this to me. What's more, have you forgotten how miserable we cried when we met the little widow with the child before. We have come this time to administer justice. ”

The young man's curses continued, and Lin had already taken a step back and snapped his fingers. The aura of several magic shields in front of him flashed away, and at the same time, the defense function of the entire magic tower was activated at the same time. Red light flowed through every corner along the magic passage on the wall, casting an ominous color on the entire hall on the first floor. Although it has not really been done yet, the sense of vigilance and warning is strong.

At the same time, the adventurous group was not idle. The leader of the warriors holding the man gave his fellow hunter a look, and the latter expertly struck the bat. To the back of the young man's head! This young man, who was obviously on the same path and disagreed, rolled his eyes, and he fainted.

For the play in front of him, Lin didn't act rashly, he just waited. The soldiers, led by the soldiers, carefully lowered their main weapons to the ground, indicating that they were not hostile. The magician didn't give up his staff, but he stepped back a few steps out of the crowd, which was also a sign of non-hostility.

Because if the Master is ready to do it, without prior preparation, the standard action is to hide behind his companion and rub out a few auxiliary magic first, rather than retreating out and exposing himself.

Seeing this, Lin also dispersed the ominous red light in the magic tower, and the white light used for night lighting was restored. The two groups of people who looked at each other speechlessly, but Lin first spoke: "Serving a noble young master, it's not easy for you." ”

The archer, who had been standing behind the crowd and had not spoken, but always looked eager, suddenly said excitedly, "How do you know that he is the eldest son of Count Sita?" ”

You just said that, idiot. I wanted to answer him like this, but seeing that the archers were already bathed in the reproachful eyes of their companions, Lin was embarrassed to fall into the well, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Several of them are high-level adventurers, and they don't look like they can be invited to be babies simply because they are rich." Unless you are hired by someone who is rich and in a position of power, you can have the means to take care of your heirs. So it is not difficult to guess that the young man has the status of a nobleman. But to my surprise, you actually greeted your employer in the head. ”

The leading warrior shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our contract only protects the life of Baron Sita, and does not include accompanying him to attack a magic tower with a lord. In my opinion, this is the most reasonable thing to do. ”

Lin didn't comment much on this. Lazy cancer attacks, if you can do it without doing it, it is the highest criterion in this life. He just asked tentatively, "Guys, what are your plans next?" The implication is whether to leave or stay in the tower for one night, as originally requested.

Instead, the mage stood up first and asked, "I heard that Your Excellency is the founder of the forum, the creator of the knowledge of the Tripwood Forum's browser arts, and the magician Gabrash Tripwood. ”

"Yes, it's me."

"Then I wonder if I am fortunate enough to learn the knowledge of forum browser art from you?" Seeing Lin's puzzled expression, the magician among the adventurers introduced himself: "I am a magician from the Nonan District Church, Meher Lindfrys. After entering the Xijia District, I was very curious to see that many magicians had used the forum's system. After being introduced by a friend, I came to the Tower of the Great Sage, hoping to learn relevant knowledge and magic. ”

If you travel from Nonan, you will indeed pass by the Tower of the Great Sage before going to the branch of the association in Siga. In addition to learning magical knowledge in each district, of course, you can also directly find the original researcher to learn its content. And the tuition fee paid, of course, will not have a share of the association.

Of course, the association does not prohibit such behavior, and their original intention of selling magical knowledge is only to hope that magical knowledge will be widely disseminated, not to monopolize any profits. However, most magicians don't bother to teach an outsider, and it is better to do their own research when they have that time, so they entrust the power to sell magical knowledge to the guild.

Although Lin has all kinds of laziness, since he is the first peer from other districts, he is interested in the forum, and in line with the idea of promotion, there is no reason to reject people thousands of miles away. "Lord Lindfleiss, if you want to learn more about the Forum, please follow me to the core room on the third floor. Everything is based on the tower's energy pool, which is easier to explain there. As for the others, please take care of yourself. ”

With a wave of his hand, he invited the magician to walk in the direction of the stairs. Immediately, Lin walked ahead, leading the people, and headed towards the core area of the magic tower.
