MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 8 Remodeling completed
Forty-three people, this is the result of counting by Lin himself early in the morning. Considering that there may be someone who is so talented that he can stay in the poisonous fog all night without dying, so after purifying the air on the first floor, he did the rest of the damage and counted the heads by himself.
However, the ropes in stock were not enough, so the two apprentices simply went into the forest to find vines, and twisted several strands into one. They were of different lengths, or tied hands, or feet, or directly around the neck, and then more than forty corpses were hoisted to the outer wall of the magic tower.
Looking at the wall that almost occupied the intact part of the entire tower, and a total of forty-six corpses in miserable death, Lin was not worried at all about whether there would be a plague.
Seeing the vultures and some carnivorous birds having a delicious feast, and even the bird-shaped monsters in the forest, which quickly grabbed a person and flew away, Lin suspected that in this remote place, these exposed Is there any chance for the remains outside to rot.
Lin looked in the direction of the village, wondering if the village could still stand in such a desolate place after losing more than forty people. But these people are all to blame, and there is nothing to sympathize with. In addition, since the decision to come to the Tower of the Great Sage to develop from the very beginning, the village was not considered as a booster in the plan. Whether to destroy the village or not is not in Lin's consideration.
The threat from the village came to an end for now. After days of peace, the renovation and internal layout of the magic tower came to an end, and everything was finally on the right track.
What is more troublesome is the bathroom and toilet design that is not available in the Lost World. Living without a toilet for more than ten years, Lin was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide. Now that the conditions are met, I am determined to build it. The faucet is directly connected to the water element plane, and the shower head for the shower passes through a heated magic circle.
The big project lies in the burial of sewage pipes. In order to hide the pipes in the walls, even the energy channels have been re-planned and deployed. Especially the burial of the septic tank. If the excrement and urine had other uses in this world, Lin would like to directly connect to the alien plane and throw it on the head of some unlucky ghost.
The dining room and kitchen on the first floor are considered to be the first tidied up room besides the core room. Lin also set up a refrigerator with a frozen magic circle. In addition to marinating all meat, there is finally a place to store it in the freezer.
The reason why they don't regard the refrigerator as a commodity for digging gold when they come to the Lost World is because the cost of magic stones consumed to maintain this thing is unimaginably high, and even aristocratic families can seldom afford it. Coming to the Tower of the Great Sage and settling down was only possible thanks to the energy supply from the semi-permanent energy pool. Before that, Lin didn't even dare to think about it.
But to build a basic energy pool, it is enough for the nobles to hire a small team of hunters and go hunting every day, so that they can last for three to five hundred years without interruption. Just counting the price ratio, you know it’s a no-brainer.
If you want to sell it to other tower owners. All magicians have their own methods for food preservation, and the most brutal thing is to set up a time stagnation magic circle, so that the vegetables and fruits will always be kept at the moment they were just picked. Seeing such data and the cost of materials for setting up the magic circle, Lin directly skipped all unrealistic ideas.
The weapon room has been re-nailed with wooden frames and has been enriched, the most important thing is the large and small weapons of the three masters and apprentices. When going out, in addition to the main weapon that you can handle, some spare, long-distance weapons and tools to deal with special situations must be prepared. Sometimes you can save your own life by relying on these infrequently used things.
But since he lived in the magic tower, there was no need to bring all these things with him. Like a crossbow taller than the two little apprentices, flying claws for climbing, and a two-handed sword. Lin didn't know what he was thinking about making the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and then he was disgusted by everyone who saw it. After oiling and maintenance, things like that were put into the weapons room.
What's more special is that the captured demon-breaking dagger is placed in a conspicuous position on the short weapon rack. Although demon-breaking weapons are not rare, they are not special weapons that can be seen everywhere. In addition to the fact that the material is different from ordinary magic weapons, the pattern of spells engraved on it is also quite valuable for research. So I'm keeping it.
There are a few more iron ingots in the corner of the casting room, as well as the leather of the leather armor after removing the metal buckle. These are all the monsters, goblins, etc. that were removed during the journey to the Tower of the Great Sage, as well as the trophies contributed by the village invaders, and they were recast. Since there are no other needs for the time being, and there is no need for that kind of crude, rough and eye-catching weapons and armor, they are all returned to the furnace.
The remaining warehouse is filled with rice, wheat, etc. sent by the caravan not long ago, and other unused sundries.
On the second floor, there are seven restored rooms and a half-covered platform.
The library was emptied, because there were not many books, so they were placed directly in the core room, next to Lin's bed, on the bookshelf against the wall. There are only two large desks and two stools in the research room at this stage. When going out for an adventure, a portable grinder for herbs is placed lonely in the center of one of the tables.
The room shared by the two girls was arranged according to their wishes. Beds, small cabinets, and wardrobes are all set for one person, and only the vanity mirror is shared by two people.
Kajado made a shelf with all kinds of strange specimens collected, such as dead frogs, lizards, bats, which are said to be devil's claws, skull candlesticks, and an unknown dried flower. Looking at those collections, Lin felt that this little apprentice had more potential to be a magician than himself.
Halloumi did get a few potted plants, including pitcher plants, flytraps, piranhas that haven't grown up, and even a datura plant. It is very girly to like flowers and plants, but like this kind of flowers and plants... the teacher is speechless.
The two meditation rooms were carefully arranged by the master and the apprentice. There will be so many meditation rooms, it's not that each of the two apprentices is exclusive to each other, it's purely related to the magic principle of the lost world.
At the beginning of time travel, Lin Ke was very unaccustomed to many common senses in the lost world. The basics of magic are not the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, nor the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold, and water, but the eight powers.
Knowledge, power, authority, faith, wealth, dexterity, perception, mystery. There are also eight corresponding gods.
And magic is the supernatural power displayed through the arrangement and matching of media after accumulating the power of these eight powers.
The meditation room is a space to accelerate the accumulation of these eight powers.
After spending most of the savings, the two meditation rooms re-established have different functions. A quiet room with magic circles made of magic stones and special pigments mixed with magic materials, and special candles will be lit when used. Sitting and meditating inside can greatly increase the power of knowledge and belief, slightly increase perception, and slightly increase mystery.
The other one mainly uses special incense and self-sounding wind chimes. With a special dance, it can greatly increase strength and wealth, slightly increase authority and dexterity, and slightly increase mysterious power. And this kind of dance is similar to the Tai Chi practiced by Uncle Lin in the park when Lin was on Earth. He dances his body slowly and smoothly, and enters the ecstasy of meditation with incense and bells to enhance his power.
Both meditation rooms have shrines for eight gods and their favorite sacrifices, but this does not mean that magicians in the lost world must have faith. Just like the AD&D novels that Lin read when he was on Earth, the goddess of magic builds a magic net, and mages cast spells through the magic net, but they don't necessarily believe in Mystra.
The same is true for the world of Lost Earth, the eight powers of the eight gods, magicians use powers to form magic, but they don't necessarily believe in eight or any one god. On the other hand, beliefs in the Lost World have quite strict requirements, including becoming a religion, being baptized, praying, commandments, etc., because the gods really exist. The miracles that show up from time to time are nothing compared to the appearance of being deceived by the magic sticks of the earth.
As for the sacrifice in front of the shrine in the meditation room, it was more like a means of trading for the magician. I use your power to cast spells, so I offer sacrifices of your liking as a price. It does not mean that it has risen to the level of belief.
In addition, there are many ways to arrange the meditation room, and they all have different effects. However, considering the cost, Lin can only choose these two most popular meditation rooms. On the second floor, two vacant rooms were sorted out, plus the emptied library, a total of three vacant rooms, which may be used as the third, fourth, and fifth meditation rooms in the future.
On the third floor, the ceremony room was temporarily put on hold after clearing out some residual enchantment magic circles that had lost their effectiveness. I'm in no urgency to fix the functionality here since there isn't any use for it yet.
A corner of the core room became Lin's living area. Generally speaking, as a magician who is the owner of the tower, the living room and the core room will be separate and independent, and the common point is that they are all located on the top floor of the magic tower. But considering the practical application, and a humble dream before crossing, it is a wonderful thing to have a bed next to you that can directly fall down when you work until your eyes are straight. So Lin placed the bed in the core room without hesitation.
The console has undergone some transformation, from the original complex magic array with crystal ball, it has become quite like the taste of future technology in science fiction movies.
As for the mercury mirror energy pool that is suspended in mid-air and faces the console upright, the official name is Atoli source pool, there is no change.
On the one hand, Lin has no idea or demand for the transformation of the energy pool, so he will not change it. In addition, this energy pool can last thousands of years without losing its effect, and its technology is also used in this era. Not only is its stability highly recognized, but it is also sufficient to be used as a carrier of most types of magic. With various advantages, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most valuable part of the Tower of the Great Sage.
As for that 'Atoli', it was the builder of this magic tower, one of the members of the team of braves who ended the dark age a thousand years ago, and the great sage Atoli who was the origin of the tower's name. It is said that he is also one of the founders of the Association of Magicians and a promoter of current magic technology and development. And the reputation of all kinds of races.
How much credibility is there is a matter of opinion. At least after the era of the knowledge explosion, and countless examples of ancestors who like to falsify history, it is really intriguing how many such legends or history in black and white are true and how much false.
And the last open space transformed into a platform, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is the key site for Lin's future research. After setting up the astronomical telescope he built himself, and setting various measuring scales, Lin looked at the vast starry sky and the two satellites in the dark night.
Like the earth's moon, there will be changes in circles and eclipses, the difference is that it is close to dark red, and it is also very large. This means that the mysterious world star under the feet is particularly huge, or that the satellite is very close to the surface.
The other satellite is black, but has a cyan halo, which does not change with time, as if it is a big eye in the sky gazing at the world. This astronomical spectacle is unimaginable without seeing it with your own eyes.
But beyond the two satellites, the magnificent Milky Way is the real research target. Astronomy is not only Lin's education before time travel, but also his hobby. After coming to the Lost World, it seems to have become an alternative lifelong career.
Twelve years of life experience, the phenomena Lin observed and the substances he discovered were unexpectedly similar to what the earth could observe and discover without the intervention of supernatural power, that is, magic.
On a certain night looking up at the starry sky, he couldn't help but wonder if the earth was in the starry sky—or to be more correct, the earth's sun was one of them. When such a fairytale-like thought flashed by, it seemed to take root, and it was deeply imprinted in Lin's thoughts.
If the sun of the earth can be accurately located, does that mean that the magic of teleportation can be used to return to the hometown of longing and daydreaming?
But before that, Lin still has a lot of difficulties to overcome. For example, if the core room is displayed on the energy pool, there is a row of messages in red font:
In a few days, a team of inspectors will be dispatched to investigate the mass killings in the villages under its jurisdiction.
