Magic Tower Starry Sky

Such ignorance, of course, does not include Master Spiller. He also turned to the astrologer's path because he couldn't see the magician's path clearly. However, he is not some ignorant idiot who can go to the extreme on this road. Along the way, I have seen all kinds of life and experienced the vicissitudes of life. How could Lin's rhetoric mislead the old man so easily.

In fact, ever since the forum started to prosper, there was a sense of anxiety in his heart. Not to himself, but to the group of astrologers. It's just that there are some things that are difficult to say when he reaches his status and status. He can only watch things slowly ferment. Especially after some students put their predicted calendar on the forum and opened a discussion forum for a fee, such worries became more obvious.

Generally speaking, at his age and status, such quarrels are out of his turn. But after hearing the content, he still came to visit this fearsome junior under the leadership of his students. He started many things, so Spiller wanted to hear for himself what this person said.

But today he heard such a bewitchment, is this sincere? Or is it that even the person doesn't know what they've done and what the repercussions are? That feeling has escalated into anxiety. Master Spiller seems to be asking people, but also seems to be asking himself: "Is this really good for astrologers?"

Very strange question, and the subject of the word is equally strange. Lin thought for a while, and then realized that maybe this old man is a sensible person.

Since you are a sensible person, then a sensible person should not speak dark words. Lin corrected his attitude, retracted the thoughts of a group of young people, and said: "For astrologers, it is unfavorable in the short term, but in the long run, it is not necessarily so. It only depends on whether they can adapt. To adapt to this The times, adapting to the latest technology.”

Seeing the man sitting in front of him, not only his eyes changed, but also his expression became serious. How could Spiller not want to hear a reason from the other party. He also said sternly: "Can you please tell me your opinion. How unfavorable it is, and how it is not entirely true."

"Master, please don't be so polite. I need your help with some things, so I will definitely explain to you. Before I tell you, let me confirm the current situation of the astrologers. That is to predict the anecdotal weather for the next week In this case, astrologers, as the main task, can collect fees from people who rely on this prediction. Including farmers, nobles, royal family, army, etc., that’s right.”

"Yes." Master Spiller nodded.

"It can be said that astrologers are very important to any society where Homo sapiens live in groups, but they don't need too many. And this number depends on how wide an astrologer's information can spread. In the past, relying on In an age of word of mouth, astrologers are as respectable a profession as priests. For smooth forecasting results, that's fine; If you can know the situation in advance, you can avoid danger to a certain extent, and these are all related to the safety of life and property."

"It's not wrong. It's just that when you enter the city, those gentlemen want to hear opinions from various sources, and they won't blindly believe what a certain person says. Therefore, astrologers who stay in the city don't get much respect. It's more of a troublesome competition. In this kind of competition, no one can really stand firm." Master Spiller added.

"But you did it, master." Lin Shun praised. But seeing the master's unchanged expression, it's better not to continue flattering, so as not to pat the horse's legs. He continued: "But the first thing that changed this situation was the emergence of the forum. Master, you put your prediction results on the forum. Then you only allow others to join the discussion with permission settings by charging a fee. partitions to get your climate predictions.──”

Seeing the panicked expressions of several young people, Lin continued to say indifferently: "──Although the forum has a regulation prohibiting buying and selling, this method seems to violate the regulation, but it doesn't seem to violate it. Don't delve into too much. On the one hand, I am also a member; on the other hand, Master Spiller's reputation and credibility are beyond doubt."

Hear from the creators of the forum, do not intend to pursue such actions. The young man who came up with this idea and implemented it on his own, said triumphantly: "Of course, my teacher can be said to be the best in Xijia District... No, it should be the best astrologer in the Lost World."

"Well, I was still wondering why such a good astrologer would destroy the astrologer. But today, it seems that there is no need to doubt the master's excellence. Such behavior is the person next to you, making his own decisions Yes."

For such remarks, the old man just shook his head with a helpless smile, but it was a few young people who angrily reprimanded loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the one who destroys the knowledge that astrologers rely on for their livelihood."

"When you put the master's prediction on the forum, have you ever thought that all the people who can use the forum will trust their own village or small town if they can get the master's prediction? The enshrined astrologer?"

"This..." Several young people were at a loss for words. Even Master Spiller finally understood what his long-standing anxiety was. The influence of the forum has long sounded the death knell for the profession of astrologer. Regardless of whether the man in front of him has put forward the theory that the calendar has laws.

"Then, would it be better for you to remove my discussion section on the forum?" Master Spiller asked.

However, Lin shook his head and said: "New technologies will promote social progress and reform, which is irreversible. Even if you close the one today, the master, you will establish it in your name to provide a discussion area for the next week's climate. But as long as it is profitable, there will be other astrologers doing such things to expand their sphere of influence. If he chooses to use a low price, he can get the next week's information in exchange for more people choosing what he provides Message, how would that be? Join my discussion forum and get a piece of information that only charges I Danba (1 copper coin), but as long as there are Xbar people (10,000 people), it is also equal to L Kiel (50 gold). Who among you can earn L Keel's salary a week? Well, let's not discuss whether this method is smart or not, and whether it can make more money than it is now. If the person who does this is a liar, who will be responsible? Who is responsible for the misinformation? Who is responsible for the damage caused by the misinformation?"

After asking three times in a row, everyone was left speechless. Lin didn't wait for them to think of shifting the focus and implicating himself, and said first: "At the beginning, I didn't want any trading behavior on the forum, because I couldn't understand any of the communication tools that I built. Responsibility for criminal behavior. And the most likely to happen is a liar. So whether it is the registration screen, or every time I open the forum, the first page I see, I have indicated three prohibitions. The first is Transactions involving money. But this is only a prohibition, but there is no means of prevention or punishment. Simply put, even if there are scammers cheating on the forum, I can do nothing. I can only say negatively that I have This kind of behavior is prohibited, and it should not be my fault if you are still deceived because of greed."

Several young people looked at each other in blank dismay, and said falteringly: "There is no such person now."

"Not now, does it mean that there will be no future?"

Master Spiller, who was also worried about such alarmist talk, couldn't help asking: "Then, does your excellency have a good solution to this?"

"Of course, and it's very simple. But if you want to say it is simple, only you, the master, can do it." With a relaxed look, Lin said something that this group of people had never thought about. "Master, please carefully compile a perpetual calendar. Oh, of course, it may be an exaggeration to say ten thousand years, but the accurate prediction of the weather in the next ten or twenty years is not for those who value this information very much. There is a basis for reference. Even if there are liars, it will not give too outrageous results."

Realizing that this matter seems to be heading toward an inevitable situation, Master Spiller smiled wryly for the first time~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and said: "Then what do you call other astrologers?"

"Although it is possible to compile a calendar book that predicts the future, it is still somewhat different in each place. Different places will have different changes. Those who rely on mountains and those who live by the sea are slightly different. in and out. It is up to the local astrologer to correct for these subtle discrepancies.”

"But it still doesn't solve the dilemma that astrologers don't need so many people anymore, especially if there is such a book." Master Spiller hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, that's right. As the saying goes, mountains don't turn around and roads don't turn around, and roads don't turn around people. Since the general trend is inevitable and it's hard to avoid it, the best way is to find another way of life."

"This kind of thing is not so simple. Do you want astrologers to do coolies? Or are you like a reckless man who only knows how to rush forward on the battlefield."

Showing that demonic and seductive smile again, Lin apologized, and then ordered Hallomi who was standing aside to get something, before saying: "The difference between an astrologer and a magician lies in the talent for magic. , the ability to perceive and accumulate power. In fact, my two apprentices and I are even worse, and we don’t even have the opportunity to be magic apprentices. But... I would like to ask you first, the master knows that a while ago, the great sage Tower's record."

Spiller said a few polite words about the sudden change, "Although I didn't participate in the war, I still care about that war. The Tower of the Great Sage resisted the invasion of the abyss, and even defeated a demon lord. Such a feat is enough to leave a name in history.”

"Yes. Then in that war, was the human coalition the greatest contribution? Or a certain talented great magician? Or—" Lin took the book handed over by Hallumi and spread it on the guest's desk In front of him, "—a well-designed magic program."
