Chapter 157: Knowledge is Power

Knowledge is power, and this sentence can be said to be the most rational name in the circle of magicians.

Don't look at the Wizards' Guild, it seems that it cares a lot about the inheritance of magic and the circulation of knowledge. Therefore, it is stipulated that every magician must submit a new magic to the association in each three-year cycle, and then the association will spread this magical knowledge for a fee.

In fact, not many magicians will hand over their skills at the bottom of the box. Of course, there are times when there is a kind of magical research that cannot be seen in the light of day, and it cannot be made public to the world.

Like the magicians who have historically developed powerful attack magic, the spell ended up being a forbidden spell. They are always spied on from all sides before they announce their unique skills. Spell models, spells, tricks, attack range, distance, etc., there's nothing that no one else wants to know.

Some people want to master this powerful magic, while others want to find a way to crack it or a weak point, or even attack a weak point or a countermeasure. For all purposes, the same is that you have to pry into the mouth of the enlightener to know the mystery.

However, most magicians will reveal the secrets of their magic due to various mistakes or reasons. Only a few people can keep it a secret until the moment of their death, perhaps because it is lost, or because future generations can recreate this magic that has never been passed on from the relics.

The stellar achievements of the Great Sage's Tower, in the eyes of the magicians, especially the group of tower owners, are more attractive treasures than the Kiel gold coins. So those who have intentions for Lin's net worth, this superficial idea is all dispelled by another group. The knowledge of transforming the Great Sage's Tower is the most valuable goal for Lin now.

Of course, for most people who have intentions, the best situation is to master it yourself, and others don't know it, which requires someone's cooperation. That's why there has been a series of troubles recently, Lin thought to himself.

The reason why no one aims to get rid of themselves is probably because they are out of the protection of the magic tower, and in their eyes they are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. That's why the first priority is to seize knowledge, rather than killing oneself to prevent knowledge from flowing into the hands of others, thus creating a threat to those people themselves.

Thinking clearly about the meaning of Grand Magician Greenwin's words, Lin sighed lightly, his expression full of helplessness. The one sitting on the opposite side of the seat didn't know about Lin's change in mood. That's how he came at the beginning, the difference is that he took refuge in Orange Fruit Eaton, who was not yet the president at the time. It is also because of the ruthlessness that he can fight that he has come to prominence.

Now I came to contact this magician, just hoping to take advantage of the suppression of others and take the opportunity to release goodwill to gather one more talent for my faction. This can be regarded as taking advantage of others, and it is also one of the reasons for the delay in revealing the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to prevent the magician from giving in prematurely and directly joining the other side. From his observations, Lin is not the kind of person with very strong willpower.

However, there is one biggest variable in all these intentions, and that is the existence of the lich. Regarding the resurrected original demon king Fanny Tikal, Greenwin and Orange Fruit Eaton really witnessed each other's unfathomability, which is the main reason why they did not choose to use strong methods.

And what kind of relationship is the relationship between the two people living together, until this is clear, Greenwin does not dare to make any moves, even if the high-level of the district council gives a death order. At least to find out if the two are simply a combination of interests, or if this original demon king will come out for someone's will or hurt.

But what needs to be said still has to be spoken, and asking anyway won't offend people. "Sir Tripwood, don't you have the idea of handing over that knowledge?"

"That's what I want." Lin said very cheerfully.

Greenwin was startled when he heard this. Thinking like this is the way it went?

"Butβ€”"

Greenwin's heart fell back again, it is normal to have a proviso, and it is abnormal to have no proviso.

"β€”some questions I want to ask first."

"Well, please." Greenwin took a shallow sip of coffee, lifted his spirits a little, and listened carefully to Lin's next question.

"Although the association also sells knowledge books such as 'Beginner in Magic' and 'Apprenticeship Guide', there seems to be no way for magicians to submit this kind of knowledge. As far as I know, the rules are all about how magic is handed in, and there is a set of standards for the pricing and evaluation of magic; But none of it is about a set of knowledge. ”

"Turn in a set of knowledge?" Greenwin asked, puzzled.

"That's right. You see, whether Fen wants to compare ancient and modern magic, or I want to know how magic towers are programmed, these are not instructions for a single magic. And although the association has books on knowledge, the number is very scarce. Compared to the huge number of various types of magic, the knowledge category is only a few introductory books. In addition, the content of knowledge books is not directly usable magic, and how will the association position itself on this. Is it counted in the triennial payment, or does it not recognize that it is magic at all, and does not accept such a surrender? ”

"Well, these are indeed questions, and I can help you ask the president's opinion. It's just Lord Tripwood, you mentioned that the Magic Tower is programmed as a set of knowledge. What does this section mean? ”

"To put it in a simpler way, we arrange a magic array, we need a circle here and a triangle there; Here you have to fill in such runes, and there you have to use some kind of marking. Maybe we can get the same effect by drawing the gourd according to the existing style. But what if something goes wrong? How do we get rid of mistakes? What if you want to extend and create a magic circle with other effects? These require some of the most basic knowledge to support. ”

In other words, the procedural nature of the magic tower is different from the magic and magic array of the existing system. Others want to learn, and the basics are not enough. ”

"Of course, if you don't see, I've been publishing a few sets of browser-related magic for a few years now. The most basic source code in it has not been encrypted, and it is completely spread out in the sun for everyone to watch. Can anyone use those things to create their own forums, emails, or even servers? No. It's hard to even make some personal settings according to the way I set them up, not to mention some of the finer changes. So I think some basic knowledge is necessary. ”

After pondering for a while, Greenwin pondered Lin's words seriously. To be honest, in today's forum, he has also studied the underlying program code. Even if you don't fully understand what those heavenly words are doing, I hope to get some inspiration from them. But no matter how many times he studied, the results never changed, and he couldn't understand a word.

In this regard, the small circle of discussion forums about the code of the program agreed that it was the magic written by the magician Gabrash Tripwood, in some kind of secret text. It may be some forgotten deity, those words that have been lost; It could also be a sweet poison from the abyss of chaos, a gift from some evil being.

However, listening to my explanation today, I can more or less understand the confusion left in the past. But for a new mage, for great mages like Greenwin, Lin's qualifications are still rookies,β€”β€” creating a whole new system of magic, is this possible?

Forget it, let's not question it. "As for your opinion, I will truthfully convey it to the chairman and other decision-makers, and please wait for good news." I wonder if there's anything else to convey? ”

"There is nothing else to convey to the President. I just don't know if Lord Greenwin knows where you can borrow a large conference room? ”

"You want to borrow the council?" Someone gave a strange look and looked at the questioner.

Lin hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, it's not to borrow the council. Rather, I want to ask if there is a similar place where one person can give a speech, and then there can be a large audience. And it has to be indoors, not in the open-air square style. ”

What Lin thinks about is that compared to the earth, there are two things that are still missing, one is the stage and the other is the school.

Although there are also performances in the entertainment program of the Lost Land, there is no fixed stage. Most of the performances for the nobility went directly to the nobles' castles or mansions, and began to perform in a small corner of the relatively large room. Of course, there will be no environment in such a form, and the focus is on the actors. If it is a performance aimed at civilians, it can be performed in any place on the side of the road or in the square, and there is no such thing as a stage.

And the same is true for schools. If you are an aristocratic person, then you can directly hire a private tutor for one-on-one teaching. If it is a small nobleman who cannot afford a private tutor, it is likely that his parents will teach it himself, or a more knowledgeable vassal will impart his knowledge.

Ordinary people also had the opportunity to study, that is, to be sent to the monastery. The missionaries who worship the gods, in order to better spread the doctrine and increase the number of people who are willing to travel around to spread the doctrine for the sake of the gods, do not hesitate to teach knowledge. After all, it is not clear which one is more convincing, a learned preacher or a preacher who knows nothing.

As for the cost, most of them were spent half a day working for the monastery, and the other half was spent listening to the priests lecturing on learning. Of course, there will be a lot of private goods in these studies, and in the words of more earth-like modernization, it is placement marketing. Speak and praise how great God is.

When you are accomplished in your studies, or if you think that it is enough, you are free to leave the monastery without being hindered. And most of those who leave, even if they don't believe in that deity, remember the favor they received. This is also the reason why the church is closer to secular society than magicians, and is guarded by the aristocracy.

Lin Hui remembered these two facilities, the most important thing was that he wanted to have a place where he could teach on a large scale, which was also something that Midi had never done. The most important thing is that when the forum first spread, almost all the magicians encountered would ask the same questions. Forget it once or twice, but when there are too many times, and the same questions and answers are repeated over and over again, someone will go crazy even if they have a good temper.

I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Starry Sky of the Magic Tower", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
