Chapter 620: Sources of Technology

The same two things that require a magic apprentice to be a copyist to transcribe by heart, magic books have a forum as a substitute, and only a very small number of people are willing to use paper.

But this does not mean the death of paper; On the contrary, the status of paper books has increased. It is as if Lin also plans to publish the journal on paper to improve the status of mathematics and the authority of the journal.

Magic scrolls, however, cannot be replaced by forums. It can only be carefully transcribed by the maker, one stroke after another, and the magic pattern is so exquisite that it is like a work of art.

Although this thing does not help someone's combat effectiveness in any way. However, magic scrolls can be used in warfare or battles, and can be a very useful aid if used wisely, as well as a great source of worldly money for mages. So it's impossible for the two old men not to care about this matter.

If the printing press could really print magic scrolls, it would be no less than an industrial revolution for the whole of the Madland. But as someone said, it's a pity.

It was a beautiful dream, but in reality, there was nothing.

Although the great magician Kabanbai intended to carry out research on tackling key problems, he didn't want to go around preaching it when he didn't even have a single character. So for Fa Sheng's regret, he only remained silent. As for this silence, it is not known how much of it is the resentment of the previous offense.

At this time, Zalai, the female apprentice of the Fa Sheng, brought coffee at the right time, breaking this embarrassing moment. The two parties switched to a relaxed attitude and chatted casually about the various situations of printing and various things that interested each other.

The tower owner of the tower of the Holy City of Estali VI, Fasan Milediadis, and the founder of the Kabanbay Academy, the great magician Kabanbai, although the two are not close friends who talk about everything, they are also familiar with each other. Almost everything you should know, and you know pretty much it. So the topic will inevitably fall on Lin, who is relatively unfamiliar outside the two.

After entering the third floor, someone's performance was of course in the eyes of the Fa Sheng. On every floor, there is something about this young magician that is amazing. But Miletiades was more interested in why he was able to crack the labyrinth on the fourth floor so quickly than he could see through the labyrinth of illusions on the third floor and the reality of the floors on the fifth floor.

There are many ways to achieve the same results. The opposition between illusion and illusion can be said to have a long history of magic, and this opposition has a long history, and the two sides have already developed various systems for targeting. In other words, as long as you find the right way, or by chance, it is not difficult to see through the illusion.

But the latter is not simple at all. In addition to the very good luck, in order to solve the maze on the fourth floor, you must first have the knowledge of space magic. It's not enough to just know, or only apprentice-level spatial magic.

In addition to understanding space magic, you must also understand how magic towers work. Including the trigger mechanism, the hidden technique set by the tower with a magic array, there will be no such in-depth record on the tower chronicle.

I'm afraid it's not the leak of Tower VI's secrets? Although Millerdiardis was not convinced of this possibility, he asked anyway.

"If I say that because I've seen something like this, it won't be difficult to parse, would you believe it?" Lin replied.

"Seen something like that?" Millerdiardis asked curiously.

"The star map wall of the Great Sage's Tower, I don't know if you know this thing."

With just one hint, some of the worries in Fa Sheng's heart disappeared.

The technology of the six towers of the holy city of Estari, the newly built Towers II to VI, is derived from the original Tower I, that is, the magic tower built by the Great Sage Atoli after returning to the Great Library after defeating the Demon King.

The Tower of the Great Sage, as the young magician spoke, was certified and built in the Southwest Peninsula in the later years of the Great Sage Atoli. Chronologically, it is believed that the Tower of the Great Sage of the Southwest Peninsula was the last magic tower built by Atoli. The technology used is also the latest and most mature.

It's just that most of the good things, as early as in the history of the Tower of the Great Sage, have been changed, demolished, and sold by successive tower owners. When it finally falls into someone's hands, the only valuable thing in the entire magic tower is the main body of the magic tower, the energy pool on the third floor, and the star map wall on the first floor with unknown function and structure.

This kind of tower demolition is basically discouraged by the Wizards Association, but it is not explicitly prohibited. Because the owner of the tower has ownership of the magic tower, not from the association. Except that you can't name your apprentices or children to inherit, you can do whatever you want.

The bottom line for the Guild is that the two most important main structures, the Magic Tower and the Energy Pool, cannot be destroyed. What the Guild handed over to the mage was a few layers of towers, and the last thing to be recovered should be several layers of towers, which could be built up, but not demolished.

Today's Six Towers of Estali, however, have many good things that were removed from the Great Sage Tower of the Southwest Peninsula and transported back to the Holy City to be installed on the Six Towers. Of course, some of them have been left to other magic towers.

The reason why the star map wall is still preserved is because the material used in the star map wall is the hardest in the entire tower. And structurally, the star map wall belongs to the load-bearing wall. If you tear it down, the whole tower could collapse.

Secondly, the operation of the Star Map Wall is to connect the energy pool of the Magic Tower. There are too many redundant pattern structures on the top, and if you dismantle it arbitrarily before you figure it out, you may face a situation where you can't install it back. So no one dares to act rashly.

Finally, the most important point is that the wall seems to have no other purpose than to record the orbit of the planets in the Mystery Star System, so it was just let go by the masters.

But listening to the young magician in front of him say this, it means that there are secrets on the wall of the star map. And this secret is enough for this young man to gain insight into the spatial labyrinth on the fourth floor of Tower VI. Of course, this old Dharma Saint would be curious, so he asked, "Your Excellency, can you tell me the results of your research on that star map wall?" ”

"Of course, no problem." If Lin didn't dare to throw away the knowledge related to the World Tree, it would offend the high seats of the Turtledove Alliance. But with the original structure of the Great Sage's Tower, someone does not have such a psychological burden. Besides, if you don't say something clear, this old man will not be at ease. No one can sleep well if the burglar security facilities in their home are ignored.

The starting style of the old routine is, of course, the whiteboard pencil technique. Lin directly reproduced the appearance of the Star Map Wall of the Great Sage's Tower in mid-air, and said, "This is what the Star Map Wall looks like under general vision. ”

With a wave of his hand, the magic array behind the original star map wall was displayed. It was a very delicate, densely arranged formation. "This is the magic formation behind the Star Map Wall. Because it was so difficult to parse, no one fully understood what this magic array was doing until I took over, so it was left in the Great Sage's Tower and not dismantled. ”

"Did you solve it successfully?" Fasan Millettiadis said in surprise.

Lin smiled and continued: "This is actually a multi-utility magic array stacked together, you have to take them apart and look at it, you can see why it is coming. The first is the section that connects the Magic Tower's energy pool. ”

With another wave of the hand, a very small part of the originally monotonous yellow lines were turned into light blue. At the same time, this part of the formation pattern was extracted from the original magic formation diagram. Don't look at this part as simple, it's the 'transformer' and 'capacitor' that is responsible for the power of magic. The reason why someone can change the Tower of the Great Sage beyond recognition in the later stage is that this is the starting point.

"And then there's the part about the operation of the star map." Some of the lines turn green and are pulled out to form a second layer. "This is the method used by astrologers to measure astronomy." To put it simply, there is no method, it is purely based on records.

The remaining magic array runes still account for more than ninety percent of the original part. But only about a third of the lines have been changed to red. Lin said: "This part is left by the Atoli Sage, and the tower related to space magic is marked with a magic array rune. And the space replacement magic on the fourth floor of your tower did not go beyond the space magic formation of the Great Sage Tower too much. If you want to say the difference, it is that Guita has added the part that will only be used in the teleportation magic array to realize the maze design of the transformation channel block. ”

At this point, there was no doubt in the heart of the Fa Sheng. Indeed, as this magician said, he was able to crack the magic array on the fourth floor, and it was indeed because he had studied similar formations. Although the magic array with red lines in front of him was slightly different from the one he actually arranged on the fourth floor, those who were proficient in this path could see that the two had the same origin. It is not difficult to understand one of them, and then to understand the second.

This kind of thing, it is impossible to make up one to deceive people on the spot. And regarding the magic formation of the star map wall, the Magicians Association is not without records. This part can be easily confirmed by the comparison of this part later.

As for the teleportation magic array mixed in there, that knowledge is fascinating, and it's a rotten street. As long as it is a magician who intends to study space magic, the two magic that must be studied are the three-ring apprentice-level portal, and the other is the teleportation magic array. It's just that the price of the latter is too great, so few people make it happen.

However, looking at the young magician's explanation, it made Millerdiardis even more curious. "Lord Tripwood, what is the function of the remaining part of the Star Map Wall Formation that you displayed, more than half of the original formation?"

"Well." As a crosser's biggest regret, I know no. "The effect of this magic circle is to open up a space that does not exist in the maze and use it to store things. But the main power consumption is in maintaining that unstable space. As long as there is a breach in the wall of this storage space, the contents of it will be lost in an unknown place. However, if you want to maintain this space, you need a magic tower-level energy pool. ”

With an unprecedented magical effect, the interest of Farsan Millettiadis was indeed aroused.
