Isn't it easy to get things started one after the other?

The reason why Lin has this idea is because there has been a wave of people who have asked to settle in the village outside the Great Sage's Tower. Every once in a while, someone comes in and makes the same request.

Basically, Lin's attitude is that he does not refuse to come. However, the final decision is handed over to the group of people who have settled in the village. It was up to them to decide whether to admit new people, how to divide or build new houses, how to distribute the farmland that had been restored from the wasteland, and how to share the work of the small pasture reserved for the tower owner.

Lin doesn't care about these things. In fact, this is also the way most of the owners of magic towers manage the Homo sapiens colonies within 10 km (10 km). At the same time, it is also the reason why ordinary people will abandon the protection of nobles and live in the mage realm. Not only is the degree of freedom higher, but if you're lucky, the taxes are also lighter.

Of course, there are times when you are unlucky. If you meet a high-pressure mage lord, you can do more than a dog and eat worse than a pig; If your life is in jeopardy, it is also very possible. Whoever called the Magic Tower is the top force in the world, and there is no chance to resist the rebellion under the rule of the aristocracy; Resisting the tower master is a magic blast over, and the chicken and dog will not be left.

But I don't know if it's because the reputation of the Great Sage Tower is too good, or if the people who come here have ulterior motives. Seeing that the village in the east was getting more and more lively, Lin also felt a little crying and laughing.

Because as far as he could observe, that village was now in the state of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

There are several waves of people who have come to this meeting with the first wave more slowly. These people integrate into the life of the village the quickest, after all, they are all familiar faces.

There are also several waves of people, and other people are really meeting for the first time. But if you want to be a simple farmer, Lin is also a thousand people who don't believe it. If it weren't for the ulterior motives, it would probably be a fugitive from elsewhere or a wanted thief with a bounty.

And the latter seem to be more likely to not know each other. That is, it is more likely that there are spies from all sides.

The reason why these things can be known is because of the surveillance footage outside the tower and the records of biological activity around the tower of the great sage. The actions of those people who thought they were secretive were actually all exposed under Lin's nose. Going back and forth, it's not hard to guess the intentions of everyone's weird behavior. And who is standing behind these people, of course, is unknown, and Lin is not interested in finding out.

The funniest thing is that someone actually started a hotel. Because when I came to the Tower of the Great Sage, there was a small caravan to buy browser magic stones, and there was one every three or five times. Originally, the village was in an abandoned state, and if the caravans did not leave that day, some of them slept outside the country, and some stayed in the tower.

And for this kind of thing to stay in the magic tower, it is actually a last resort. So when the village became populated, there were businessmen with quick brains who united several families in the village and opened a simple inn.

The lodging was not just a caravan visiting the Tower of the Great Sage. Because of the rise of the forum, adventurers and mercenaries have expanded their range of movement and moved more frequently. Occasionally, they pass through this place during their missions.

In the past, it was also because there was no one around, so I stayed in the tower; Now that there is an inn in the village outside the tower, no one wants to stay in the magic tower where the tower owner has the power of life and death.

lest he didn't know where to offend the tower owner, and he would be destroyed without a sound. You know, this tower master has a reputation for killing a team of inspectors; Earlier, there were rumors of the slaughter of the village. So don't make yourself unhappy.

In short, a group of people with different intentions gathered, and the village became more and more lively.

In the face of this kind of thing, the Tower of the Great Sage can't stay out of it. From time to time, villagers come to visit and use very lame means to investigate. I even thought that girls in their early teens were easy to coax, and used all kinds of strange reasons to try to trick girls. As the owner of the tower, Lin is very easy to push two, five or six, and he doesn't care about anything. But two apprentices are not so convenient.

At first, Halumi and Kaya were enthusiastic about negotiating with the villagers, seeing if they could help each other. If you have the mentality of taking advantage and coax a few words, you can still let the two girls shoot for free. But maybe this group of people is too careful to have the intention of taking advantage of it, or maybe this group of people only cares about information and tries in every possible way to get words out of the girl's mouth. The end result was that the patience of the two girls was worn out. Because different people ask the same questions, even a pig should know that something is wrong.

It's just how to refuse someone? This is a problem for adults even on Earth, let alone two elementary school-age girls in the world of Lost Earth.

Lin didn't want to deal with the group of people outside, and he couldn't bear to be tortured by two apprentices in his place, so he made a strange move, which was to let the two big dogs come back as door gods. As soon as a troublesome person comes to the door, he takes a few steps closer, looks down from top to bottom and drools at the person, and stares at the person intently.

After teasing the dog for a long time, he was grabbed by the arm and thrown more than a dozen steps away. Although he didn't hurt his life, he couldn't get out of bed for several days.

After that, the two girls trained dogs, meditated, and practiced magic. Anyway, I didn't have time, so I pushed the dodge and pretended to be busy to the end, and finally got rid of that group of annoying guys.

As for whether any villagers came to protest? Not really. After all, there are murders and slaughters in the past, and no one wants to risk their lives to enter the magic tower, and gamble with the tower owner on the question of whether they dare to kill people.

The outside of the tower is so lively, in fact, the inside of the tower is not far behind.

The beginning of the outbreak of contradictions was on a night when the clouds were half obscuring the sky and the stars were getting cooler. Kaya had just given her teacher a late-night snack on the stargazing platform, and when she went down to the second floor, Harumi was wiping her wet hair as she walked to her room. Seeing a girl of the same age, she said, "Kaya, I'll take a shower." Changed you. ”

"When I'm done touring the other rooms, I'll go wash it."

"Alright, I'll go to sleep first. Good night. ”

"Good night."

Walking through the dimly lit central stairwell, the girl first toured the rooms on the first floor, as was customary. After opening an inn in the village outside the tower, no one came to the tower of the sage to spend the night. This is a good thing for masters and apprentices who are afraid of trouble.

Step by step, step by step. On the familiar staircase, Kaya would not have any inconvenience even with her eyes closed. Therefore, during this time of sleep, the lights of the entire Great Sage Tower are adjusted to a very faint state. This is one of the results of the teacher's research during this time.

In the past, the night lighting of the Great Sage Tower was leaning on the night pearl on the wall. But I don't know if it was dug up and sold by a certain tower owner before, or if there were other reasons, although there are traces of night pearl inlay on the walls of many passages and rooms, the most important beads are missing. Therefore, there is one place and no place for night lighting, which is quite inconvenient.

In addition, in order to modify the layout of the energy channels of the entire tower, those beads are also an obstacle. So in a certain transformation, Lin Fa was ruthless, dug up all the night pearls, and changed the energy layout of the whole tower, just like the magic patterns of the laser mesh channel on the first floor, all over every corner.

Although the changes are not as good as the well-arranged first floor, the laser beam of the same power can still be played. In addition to this means of defense, it is the use of magic power channels to realize the self-luminescence of the walls of the whole tower.

Moreover, Lin used the study of spectral wavelengths to make adjustments. In addition to adjusting the intensity of the lighting, you can also adjust the color. In fact, this is also an important technical basis for Lin to make three-dimensional imaging clones. Using color-changing light, it projects the appearance of the human body.

Of course, these things are too complicated, and the girls still can't understand them. All they know is that the brightness of the lighting in the tower can be adjusted at will, and it can be controlled by voice and manual. Generally, when you want to be active at night, it will be adjusted to simulate the sunlight during the day. When it's time to fall asleep, the entire tower becomes less bright, giving it a faint orange glow, which gives you a sense of peace of mind.

But this warm color that usually makes people feel reassured, how can there be a cold feeling today?

In the silence of the night, the sound of footsteps is particularly clear. In the closed and windowless magic tower, every step seems to be accompanied by its own heartbeat. The sound of breathing will also be infinitely amplified, rumbling in the ears. The night lights of the Great Sage's Tower, unlike the light of a candle, swayed in the wind. The soft and faint orange light seems to hold a calm mind in its arms, inspiring people to sleep.

It's a feeling of the past, but today it seems a little unusual. Not to mention the black shadows flashing around, the gentle flapping of wings, and the sound of squeaking, is there a bug flying in? Kaya wondered.

Suddenly, a pair of cold hands grabbed her shoulders, and an unbearable stabbing pain in her right neck made the girl cry out loud, breaking the silence in the magic tower.

Worried about his companions, Halumi ran down the stairs in a panic, but was restrained by his outstretched hands in the darkness in the tower that he thought was safe. While holding her mouth, the skinny she was also lifted, allowing her feet to kick in the air.

Lin, who was staying at the stargazing platform on the third floor, also heard the terrible shout, but he didn't ignore it or panic. All kinds of thoughts flashed in their minds, if it was just wrestling and falling, the two girls would not be so shouting. In the past adventures, it is not without injuries that are more serious than this. The hard-tempered two often don't say a word.

Seeing cockroaches, ants, spiders, rats, and being scared and yelling? That little thing doesn't frighten them, it's not the earth, they're not pampered little girls.

So why is it still so bad? Lin had several guesses in his heart, and when he passed by the core room and was about to go downstairs, the corner of his eye swept over the monitoring screen of the hall and the hall on the first and second floors. The unknown black shadow seems to be directing the situation to the last place you want to see.

Walking slowly to the first floor, and as soon as he came out of the stairwell, he heard a strange laugh from the corner, saying, "Your Excellency Gaybrash Tripwood." ”

"Oh, these days, the little thief who hides his head and tail is still so polite. It's a long experience. ”

"Your apprentices, but it's all in our hands. Talk like that, okay? ”

Where the sound came from, there was a faint black fog that obscured the orange light of the night of the magic tower. But I could still see clearly the two girls who were pushed to the edge of the mist. Harumi was shut, her face full of horror; Kaya fainted, leaning on the body of the person behind her, barely falling.
