Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 59: Territory change

Is it easy for things to happen one after another once they have a beginning?

The reason why Lin had this idea was because a wave of people asked to settle in the village outside the Great Sage's Tower. Every once in a while, someone will come and make the same request.

Basically, Lin's attitude is that all comers are welcome. However, the power to make the final decision is thrown to the group of people who have settled in the village. It is up to them to decide whether to accept newcomers, how to allocate or build new houses, how to allocate the farmland recovered from wasteland, and how to share the work on the small pasture dedicated to the tower owner.

Lin doesn't care about these things. In fact, this is also the way the owners of most magic towers manage the Homo sapiens gathering place within ten days (10 kilometers). At the same time, it is also the reason why ordinary people will abandon the protection of nobles and live in the residence of magicians. Not only is the degree of freedom relatively high, but if you are lucky, the tax is also light.

Of course there are times of bad luck. If you encounter a high-pressure magician lord, who is more tired than a dog and eats worse than a pig; it is very possible that his life is at stake. Who is called the magic tower? It is the world's top military force, and there is no chance of resisting riots under the rule of the nobles; resisting the tower owner is a blast of magic, and no one will be left behind.

But I don't know if the reputation of the Great Sage's Tower is too good, or the people who come here have ulterior motives. Seeing that the village in the east is getting more and more lively, Lin also feels a little dumbfounded.

Because according to his observation, that village is now in the state of the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

There are several waves of people who met the first wave of people, and it was relatively slow to meet here. These people are the fastest to integrate into the life of the village, after all, they are all familiar faces.

There are also a few waves of people who really meet others for the first time. But if it is said that they are pure farmers, Lin is also a thousand people who don't believe it. If it is not for ulterior motives, it is probably a fugitive from another place or a robber who is wanted and offered a reward.

And the latter seem to be more likely to not know each other. In other words, it is more likely to be spies from various parties.

The reason why these things can be known is because of the monitoring screen outside the tower and the biological activity records around the Tower of the Great Sage. Those people's actions that they thought were hidden, were in fact all exposed under Lin's nose. Thinking back and forth, it is not difficult to guess the intention of everyone's weird behavior. And who is standing behind these people, of course they don't know, and Lin is not interested in finding out.

The funniest thing is that someone actually started running a hotel. Because when they came to the Tower of the Great Sage, there was a small caravan every now and then to buy browser magic stones. The original village was in an abandoned state. If the caravans who came here did not leave on the same day, some would sleep outside, and some would sleep in the tower.

As for staying overnight in the magic tower, it was actually a last resort. So when that village became populated, there were quick-thinking businessmen who united with several families in the village and opened a simple inn.

The people staying here are not just caravans visiting the Tower of the Great Sage. Because of the rise of the forum, adventurers and mercenaries have expanded their range of action and moved more frequently. They occasionally pass by here during their mission journey.

In the past, it was also because there were no people around, so they stayed in the tower; now that there are hotels in the village outside the tower, no one wants to stay in the magic tower where the tower owner holds the power of life and death.

In case I didn't know where I offended the Tower Master, it would be destroyed without making a sound. You know, this tower owner has a reputation for killing a team of inspectors; there were rumors of massacring the village earlier. So don't make yourself uncomfortable.

In short, a group of people with their own ulterior motives gathered together, and the village became more and more lively.

Faced with this kind of thing, the tower of the great sage can't stay out of it. From time to time, villagers came to visit and used very crappy methods to investigate. I even thought that girls in their early teens were easy to coax, and used all kinds of strange reasons to try to trick girls. As the tower master, Lin is very easy to push two, five, six, and don't care about anything. But two apprentices are not so convenient.

At first, Hallumi and Kaya negotiated enthusiastically with the villagers to see if they could help them according to their needs. If you have the mentality of taking advantage, coax a few words, maybe you can let the two girls sell for free. But maybe this group of people are too cautious and dare not take advantage of it, or maybe this group of people only care about information, trying to get words out of the girl's mouth in every possible way. The end result is that the patience of the two girls is also worn out. Because different people come to ask the same question, even a pig should know something is wrong.

Just how to reject people? Even on Earth, this is a difficult problem for adults, let alone two elementary school-aged girls in the Lost World.

Lin didn't want to deal with the group of people outside, and couldn't bear the two apprentices to be tortured instead of him, so he resorted to a strange trick, which was to let the two big dogs come back to be the door gods. Whenever a troublesome person comes to the door, he will take a few steps closer, look down from above and drooling at that person, and stare at him intently.

Someone who didn't have long eyes teased the dog, and was caught by the arm and thrown a dozen steps away. Although he didn't hurt his life, he lay down for several days and couldn't get out of bed.

After that, the two girls trained dogs, meditated, and practiced magic. Anyway, I just ran out of time, so I followed through with excuses and pretending to be busy, and finally got rid of those annoying guys.

As for whether any villagers came to protest? It really doesn't. After all, there are stories of people killing people and massacring villages. No one wants to risk their life to enter the magic tower and bet with the tower owner on whether they dare to kill people or not.

The outside of the tower is so lively, but the inside of the tower is not much different.

The conflict broke out at a certain night when the clouds half covered the sky and the stars, and the coolness gradually deepened. Kaya had just delivered supper to the teacher on the observatory. When she went down to the second floor, Hallomi was brushing her wet hair and walking to her room. Seeing a girl of the same age, she said, "Kaya, I'm done taking a shower. It's your turn."

"I'm going to wash after I finish patrolling the other rooms."

"Well, I'll go to bed first. Good night."

"Good night."

Passing through the dim central stairwell, the girl first inspected the rooms on the first floor as usual. After the inn was started from the village outside the tower, no one came to stay at the Tower of the Great Sage anymore. For masters and apprentices who are afraid of trouble, this is a good thing.

Going down step by step. On the familiar stairs, Kaya would not experience any inconvenience even with her eyes closed. So during this sleeping time, the lights of the entire Tower of the Great Sage are adjusted to a very weak state. This is one of the research results of that teacher during this time.

In the past, the night lighting of the Tower of the Great Sage was all night pearls leaning against the wall. But I don't know if it was dug up and sold by a previous tower owner, or there are other reasons. Although there are traces of night pearls inlaid on the walls of many passages and rooms, the most important beads are missing. Therefore, there is one place and no place for lighting at night, which is quite inconvenient.

Furthermore, in order to modify the energy channel layout of the entire tower, those beads are also obstacles. So in a certain transformation, Lin made a ruthless move, dug out all the night pearls, and changed the energy layout of the whole tower, just like the laser network channel on the first floor, there are magic lines all over every corner.

Although the change is not as good as the well-arranged first floor, the same power laser beam can still be used. In addition to this defense method, it is to use the magic power channel to realize the self-luminescence of the wall of the whole tower.

Moreover, Lin used the research on spectral wavelengths to make adjustments. In addition to adjusting the intensity of lighting, you can also adjust the color. In fact, this is also an important technical basis for Lin to create a three-dimensional imaging clone. Use variable color light to project the shape of the human body.

Of course, girls still don't understand these too complicated things. They only know that the brightness of the lighting in the tower can be adjusted arbitrarily, and can be controlled by voice or manually. Generally, when you are still active at night, it will be adjusted to simulate the sunlight during the day. When it's time to fall asleep, the entire tower will reduce its brightness and show a faint orange light, which will give people a sense of peace of mind.

However, this warm color light usually makes people feel at ease. Why does it feel cold today?

In the silent night, the sound of footsteps is particularly clear. In the closed magic tower with no windows, every step seems to be accompanied by his own heartbeat. The sound of breathing will also be infinitely amplified, rumbling in the ear. The night lights of the Great Sage's Tower, unlike the light of candles, will sway with the wind. The soft and faint orange light, like embracing a calm mind, lulls people to sleep.

That's how it used to feel, but today it seems a bit out of the ordinary. Not to mention the black shadows flashing around, the flapping of wings gently, and the sound of chirping, did insects fly in? Kaya was puzzled.

Suddenly a pair of big cold hands grabbed my shoulders, and there was an unbearable tingling pain on my right neck, UU reading www.uukanshu. com made the girl shout loudly, breaking the tranquility in the magic tower.

Worrying about her companions, Harumi ran downstairs in a panic, but in the tower she thought she was safe, she was controlled by outstretched hands in the dark. While covering her mouth, she was also lifted up, allowing her feet to kick wildly in the air.

Lin, who was staying at the observatory on the third floor, also heard the scream, and he didn't ignore it, nor did he panic. All kinds of thoughts flashed in my mind. If it was just wrestling and falling, the two girls wouldn't have yelled so much. In the past adventure experience, it is not uncommon for more serious injuries than this. The two hard-tempered people often didn't say a word.

See cockroaches, ants, spiders, mice, get scared and scream? Little things like that wouldn't scare them, this wasn't Earth, and they weren't spoiled little girls.

Then it still screams so badly, what is the reason? Lin had several guesses in his mind. When he passed the core room and was about to go downstairs, he glanced at the monitoring screens in the halls and hallways on the first and second floors out of the corner of his eyes. The unknown shadow seems to be leading the situation to the place he least expects to see.

He walked slowly to the first floor, and as soon as he got out of the stairwell, he heard a strange laugh from the corner, saying, "Mr. Gabrash Tripwood."

"Oh, these days, the little thief who hides his head and shows his tail is still so polite. He has learned a lot."

"Your apprentices are all in our hands. Can you speak like this?"

Where the sound came from, there was a thin cloud of black mist, covering the orange light of the magic tower at night. But I can still see clearly, the two girls who were pushed to the edge of the mist. Harumi's mouth was covered, her face full of horror; Kaya passed out and leaned on the person behind her to barely fall.
