Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 157: knowledge is power

Knowledge is power, this sentence can be said to be a wise saying in the circle of magicians.

Don't look at the Association of Magicians as if they are very concerned 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 every three-year cycle, and then spread this magic knowledge for a fee through the association.

In fact, not many magicians will hand over their unique skills at the bottom of the box. Of course, sometimes there will be that kind of shady magic research, which cannot be made public in front of the world.

Just like those magicians who developed powerful offensive magic in history, this spell was finally among the forbidden spells. Before they announce their unique skills, they will always be spied on from all sides. Spell models, spells, tricks, attack range, distance, etc., there is nothing that others don't want to know.

Some people want to master this powerful magic, and some people hope to find a way to break it or a weakness, or even attack a weak point or a way to counter it. Various purposes, the same is to pry the inventor's mouth open 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 secret until the moment of their own death, perhaps because it was lost, or later generations recreated this never-before-seen magic from the relics.

In the eyes of magicians, especially the group of tower owners, the outstanding achievements of the Tower of the Great Sage are more attractive treasures than Kiel (gold coins). Therefore, those superficial thoughts of those who had plans for Lin's wealth were all dispelled by another group. The knowledge of transforming the Great Sage's Tower is Lin's most valuable goal now.

Of course, for most people who have intentions, the best situation is to master it by themselves, and others don't know it. This requires someone's cooperation. That's why this series of troubles happened recently, Lin thought to himself.

The reason why no one aimed to get rid of him was probably because he was out of the protection of the magic tower, and in their eyes he was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. That's why the first priority is to seize knowledge instead of killing oneself, so as to prevent knowledge from flowing into the hands of others, thereby causing threats to those people themselves.

Thinking clearly about the meaning of the Great Mage Greenwyn's words, Lin sighed softly, his expression full of helplessness. How could the person sitting across from him be unaware of Lin's mood change. I also came here in the same way at the beginning, the difference is that I took refuge in Chengguo Eaton, who was not the president at the time. It was also because of being able to fight with that kind of ruthlessness that he came to prominence.

Now that I came to connect with this magician, I hope that through the suppression of others, I will take the opportunity to show goodwill and recruit one more talent for my faction. This can be regarded as taking advantage of other people, and it is also one of the reasons why he has been reluctant to reveal the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to prevent the magician from giving in prematurely and directly throwing himself under the command of that party. According to his observation, Lin is not the kind of person with very strong willpower.

However, there is one biggest variable in all these intentions, which is the existence of that Lich. As for the revived former demon lord Finn Tikal, Greenwyn and Chengguo Eaton have truly witnessed each other's unfathomable depths, which is also the main reason why they did not choose to use tough methods.

As for the relationship between the two people living together, Greenwyn would not dare to take any action until he figured it out, even if the high-level executives of the district committee gave the order to die. At the very least, it is necessary to understand whether the two are a combination of pure interests, or whether the original demon king will stand out for someone's wishes or harm.

But what should be said still has to be said, anyway, asking will not offend anyone. "Your Excellency Tripwood, don't you have any intention of handing over that knowledge?"

"I have such a plan." Lin said straightforwardly.

Greenwyn was taken aback. I thought it was done like this?

"but-"

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

"—some questions I want to ask first."

"Well, please tell me." Greenwyn took a 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 'Beginners of Magic' and 'Apprentice Assessment Guide', it seems that there is no way for magicians to submit such knowledge. As far as I know, the relevant regulations are all about how to turn over magic, and there is a set of standards for the pricing and evaluation of magic; but none of them is about a set of knowledge. "

"Turn in a set of knowledge?" Greenwyn asked puzzled.

"That's right. You see, whether it is Fern who wants to provide a comparison of ancient and modern magic, or I want to provide knowledge about the programming of magic towers, these are not instructions for a single magic. And although the association provides knowledge books , but the number is very rare. Compared with the huge number of various kinds of magic, knowledge-type books are only a few introductory books. In addition to knowledge-type books, the content is not magic that can be used directly. Regarding this point, the association will How to locate it. Is it counted in the amount paid every three years, or does it not admit that it is magic at all, and does not accept such a payment.”

"Well, these are indeed problems. I can ask the president for your opinion. It's just Mr. Tripwood, you mentioned that the programming of the magic tower belongs to a set of knowledge. What does this part mean?"

"To describe it in a relatively simple way, we set up a magic circle. We need a circle here, and a triangle there; we need to fill in such runes here, and use some kind of mark there. Maybe we follow the existing You can probably get the same effect by following the pattern. But what if something goes wrong? How do we fix it? If we want to extend it, what should we do to create a magic circle with other effects? These require some basic knowledge to support it.”

"That is to say, the programming of the magic tower is different from the magic and magic array of the existing system. Others want to learn, but the basic knowledge is not enough."

"Of course, if you don't want to see, I have published several sets of browser-related magic for several years. The most basic source code inside has not been encrypted at all, and it is completely exposed to the sun for everyone to watch. Can someone use those How about creating your own forum, email, or even a server? No. It’s quite difficult even to make some personalized settings according to the setting method I provided, let alone some more Subtle variation. So I think some basic knowledge is needed."

After pondering for a while, Greenwyn seriously thought about Lin's words. To be honest, he has also studied the underlying program code when the forum is booming today. Even if I don't fully understand what those bible-like words are doing, I hope to get some inspiration from them. But no matter how many times he studied it, the result never changed, and he couldn't understand a word.

Regarding this point, among the small circle discussing the program code on the forum, it was unanimously believed that this was magic written by magician Gabrash Tripwood using some special secret script. It could be some forgotten god, those lost languages; or it could be a sweet poison from the chaotic depths, some evil gift.

But listening to my explanation today, I can more or less understand the confusion left before. But for a new magician—for great magicians like Greenwin, Lin's qualifications are still considered a rookie—is it possible to create a brand new system of magic?

Forget it, let's not question it for now. Greenwin said seriously: "I will truthfully convey your opinion to the president and other decision makers. Please wait for the good news. Is there anything else you want to convey?"

"I don't have anything else to convey to the president and the others. I just don't know if Mr. Greenwyn knows, where can I borrow a large conference venue?"

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

Lin quickly explained: "No, no, no, it's not to borrow the parliament. I just want to ask if there is a similar place where one person can make speeches, and then there can be many audiences. And it must be indoors, not an open-air square. .”

What Lin thinks is that compared to the earth, Midi still lacks two things, one is the stage and the other is the school.

Although there are also performances in Midi's entertainment programs, there is no fixed stage. Most of the performances for the nobles go directly to the castle or mansion of the nobles, and start the performance in a small corner in a relatively large room. Of course, there will be no environment arrangement in this form, the focus is on the actors~www.wuxiamtl.com~ If the performance is aimed at civilians, it can be performed at any place on the roadside or in the square, and there is no so-called stage .

And the same goes for schools. If you are an aristocrat, you can directly hire private tutors for one-on-one teaching. If it is a small nobleman who cannot afford a private teacher, it is possible that his parents will teach in person, or the more knowledgeable vassals will impart knowledge.

Ordinary people also have the opportunity to study, that is, sent to the monastery. The missionaries who enshrine the gods, in order to better spread the teachings and increase the number of people who are willing to travel around to spread the teachings for the gods, they will not hesitate to teach knowledge. After all, it is self-evident which kind of person will be more convincing, a missionary who is knowledgeable or a missionary who knows nothing.

As for the price, most of them spend half a day working for the monastery, and the other half day can listen to the priests' lectures. Of course, there will be a lot of private goods in this knowledge. In a more earth-style modern term, it is placement marketing. Just praise once you talk about how great the true God is.

When you have learned enough, or you think you have enough, you can leave the monastery freely, and no one will stop you. And most of those who leave, even if they don't believe in that god, will remember the favor they received. This is also the reason why the church is closer to the secular society than magicians, and the reason why it is guarded by the nobles.

Lin would think of these two facilities. The most important thing is that he hopes to have a place where he can give lectures on a large scale, which is something that Midi has never done before. The most important thing is that during the period when the forum first spread, almost all magicians encountered would ask the same question. Once or twice is fine, when the number is too many, and the same question and the same answer are repeated, no matter how good-tempered someone is, he will go crazy.
