MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 6 provoke
Everything seemed to be fine, and the three masters and apprentices were still focusing on the work of repairing the magic tower, but the focus and content of the construction had changed somewhat.
The first is the repair of the wall, first restore the magic tower to a completely closed state. The gate is already very strong, not much to say, the portals leading to the opening on the third and second floors have been strengthened. The defects of the walls and floors of the internal compartments are temporarily put on hold. The second is to repair and reorganize the defense system in the tower.
The magic tower is not like a general fortress. For defensive considerations, the internal passages are designed to be curved, but it does not mean that the inside of the magic tower is free for people to come and go. ‘Ning Ke ten cities, not one tower. ’ These are the words left by a famous historical general in the Lost World.
Connecting different planes to form a maze, or making fireballs step by step are all child's tricks. There are more imaginations of magicians, that even they themselves dare not walk around in their own towers after turning on the defense function.
However, as a historical site thousands of years ago, the Tower of the Great Sage does not have the kind of fortifications that can kill all existence. In fact, it can be said that there is no internal defense function at all. It is either a magic trap that has been triggered and has become invalid; it is a mechanism that has been unusable for too long. All Lin has to do is to refill the blank canvas with his own ideas and existing resources. ...the latter takes precedence.
During this period, the agreed chamber of commerce chariots and horses finally arrived. In addition to transporting supplies, there are also bulky items that are difficult to carry with Lin Yuanyuan's residence, and they are also sent to the Tower of the Great Sage with the carriage.
This chamber of commerce was originally just a messenger for the association to contact the tower owners everywhere. Later, the contents of the delivery were not only letters, but also special items exchanged between the tower owner and the association, and the subsidy money that the association gave to the tower owners everywhere. So the messenger became a wagon train.
With the carriage, some tower owners asked to buy something for them, or send the output of the magic tower to sell somewhere. So the fleet size expands.
There are too many deliveries for others, and the leaders of the association feel that they will make a profit by doing business, buying the output of magic towers everywhere and reselling them, and selling the goods needed by tower owners everywhere and delivering them to their doorsteps. . So the Chamber of Commerce was formed.
Other divisions will see that a certain division will do this, and the benefits are considerable. So other clubs followed suit.
To this day, the chambers of commerce affiliated to the Association of Magicians have different affiliations depending on the divisions of each district. The scope of business is not limited to magicians, but also extends to ordinary people.
But for the magician who is the owner of the tower, there are various preferential measures. After all, for the association, mastering magicians who control strategic weapons in various places is a major priority. There's no need to be distracted on such a small matter as money. On the contrary, having common interests makes each tower owner even more inseparable from the assistance of the Magicians Association.
From Lin's point of view, a successful logistics industry is about making money. The Association of Magicians has even integrated the shopping platform and logistics together, and started a unique business. It is difficult not to make money.
It is inevitable to be eye-catching when you make money. But what kind of existence is the Association of Magicians. With the force of each division, it is not a big problem to wipe out one or two small countries. From the past to the present, I have heard of robbing the caravan of the association, but I have never heard of it being safe and sound after the robbing. It must be destroyed, and even the soul will be taken back and tortured for a hundred years.
Of course, the armed forces to protect the caravan must be put on display to avoid those who are not good at the road. Lin watched as he rode a camel bird—a huge bird with greater stamina and agility than a horse, and could fly for a short time. Belonging to a kind of monster──, the warriors wearing all the magic aura on their bodies, protecting the caravan from front to back, can't help but make people jealous. It's the same feeling as seeing someone on Earth wearing an Armani suit, wearing a Rolex, and driving a Maserati.
More importantly, those who can become caravan guards are definitely not ordinary people. If you don't have the experience of rolling among the dead, you won't be able to get a high salary from the association, or any magic item on your body.
It is a pity that such force cannot be commanded by Lin, the tower master. Caravan guards don't meddle in local affairs unless someone blindfolds them. If it's just peeping, they're nothing more than vigilance.
Just like now, the line of sight from the forest thought it was hidden, but it actually fell into the eyes of these people long ago. That's why the guards maintained a semi-circular alert formation, surrounding the chariots and horses they wanted to protect.
Lin also knew that the boxes of items that were moved from the carriage into the Magic Tower, even though the contents could not be known, would certainly arouse greed in some people. The silence these days does not mean peace in the future. I just uphold the spirit of responding to all changes with the same, and wait for the other party to make the first move.
In addition, the longer the time dragged on, the more fully prepared he would be, Lin was not worried at all. All work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Until a certain afternoon when those **** things were about to be forgotten, the restless person finally appeared.
When three burly men wearing iron breastplates and carrying huge axes walked out of the forest, the early warning system of the magic tower immediately sounded in the ears of the three masters and apprentices. Such alarms would come several times a day, but most of them were caused by wild animals running out of the forest.
Lin, who had been staying in the core room for several days and re-deployed the energy structure of the entire magic tower next to the console, looked at the person on the monitoring screen presented by the mirror of the energy pool, but he still didn't dare to confirm whether it was the target. It is not uncommon for adventurers in the wild to buy magic props through the magic tower, and it is also one of the ways of income for many tower owners.
However, the two young apprentices who had completed the structure of the magic tower and were arranging the furniture in each room happened to be staying in the core room. Harumi could tell at a glance that the three were from that village, the gang that took the lead in bullying her. Thinking of the frightened past, she couldn't help shrinking behind her companion, trembling slightly.
Seeing the apprentice's appearance, Lin sighed, and at the same time stretched out his hands to touch their heads, he also messed up the hair of the two girls in a mischievous manner, and said, "As planned before, let's go down and make preparations."
The well-groomed hair was messed up, and the blond girl forgot that horrible memory for a moment, instead she pouted dissatisfiedly and looked at the perpetrator viciously. On the contrary, Kaya, who wears two big braids, has not become too messy because her hair is well-knit, and she has a relatively calm personality. After tugging on the sleeves of a girl of the same age, the two ran away.
Lin silently turned on the defensive functions of the towers one by one, but the automatic trigger mechanism was still turned off. It is necessary for him to have a talk with the other party first, and only after confirming his attitude can he take the next action.
I saw the magic light of the console turn from blue to red, extending to all the energy nodes of the entire tower in an instant, then extinguished, and returned to the appearance of an ordinary stone building. There is no sign of all these changes outside the tower, just like it has been for thousands of years.
The gate of the magic tower is open. In the Lost World, under non-war conditions, the gate of the magic tower is open during the day, which means that this is a tower with an owner, and adventurers in need are also welcome to buy supplies or seek shelter.
But in the eyes of the three chiefs of the village, this is no different from courting death. The former owner of the Tower of the Great Sage kept the gate of the Magic Tower closed day and night. Every time they had to slam the door fiercely and utter threatening words, the other party was willing to open a small opening and let their own people in.
Since the door was open today, they walked into the magic tower without hesitation. Seeing that the appearance of the first floor has changed a little, the original damaged parts have been repaired, the man standing in the middle couldn't help licking his lips, imagining in his heart that the new tower owner is a fat sheep.
"New here, don't you know how to greet the guests when they come?"
For a moment, Lin thought that he had returned to the time when he was looked down upon everywhere at the beginning of time travelling. After being promoted to an official magician, he has never been treated like this again. Even nobles or magicians with a higher class than him maintain a certain degree of respect.
It seems that this game can not be good. Lin So thought, UU reading www. uukanshu.com opened the sound transmission magic circle, and said, "Three distinguished guests, please go to the core room on the third floor."
The three people in the surveillance screen sneered with disdain. Before going upstairs, he also adjusted his sidearm to a comfortable position. The man in the lead even took out a dagger glowing with magic power from his arms, and hid it in his right palm with his backhand. That should be the demon-breaking dagger that Harumi said to pierce through her stone skin technique.
The three of them didn't know that they were under surveillance, and thought they had prepared everything before they went up to the third floor. Lin, who was watching the monitor, was speechless for a while.
The monitoring system is based on the concept of the earth and realized with the magic of the lost world. Although there are other magics that can produce similar effects, the complete monitoring concept does not exist in the existing magic system. So it is normal for the three people who went upstairs to be at a loss.
But in a magic tower with a controller, it is very abnormal to be so arrogant. Was the ex too weak? Lin wondered.
Turning off the monitoring screen, stood up and faced the direction of the stairs, Lin silently waited for the three to show up. The most important thing was the cursing voices of the three people. There was really no need to continue to monitor them. Just listening to them could tell how impatient they were.
Walking in the door, before he could stand still, the biggest thick guy said loudly: "New here, your predecessor had a good time cooperating with our village. I think we can continue to cooperate according to the previous method. "
"What was the previous method?"
"It's just that we produce raw materials, and you can help us make magic materials."
"Then..." Lin asked hesitantly, "How much can I get paid?"
"Haha, what's the reward?" The three strong men looked at each other and laughed, and one of them said, "Your ex was kind enough to help us for free. I believe your heart should be good too."
