Everything seemed to be fine. 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 restoring the magic tower to a completely closed state. Not to mention that the door is already very strong, and the portals leading to the open areas on the third and second floors have been reinforced. Defects in the walls and floors of the internal compartments have been put aside for the time being. The second step is to repair and reorganize the defense system in the tower.
The Magic Tower is not like a general fortress. The internal passages are designed to be winding for defense purposes, but this does not mean that people can come and go freely inside the Magic Tower. 'Ning conquer ten cities without attacking a single tower. 'These are the words left by a certain historical general in the Lost World.
Connecting different planes to create a maze, or making fireballs with every step are considered children's tricks. More magicians think that even they themselves dare not walk around in their tower after turning on the defense function.
However, as a historic site dating back thousands of years, the Tower of the Great Sage does not have the kind of defenses that can destroy 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 ineffective; or it is a mechanism that has been unusable for too long. What Lin has to do is to refill this blank picture with his own ideas and existing resources. ...The latter is preferred.
During this period, the agreed-upon carriage and horses from the Chamber of Commerce finally arrived. In addition to transporting supplies, bulky items that were difficult to carry around were also sent to the Tower of the Great Sage along with the carriage team from Lin's original residence.
This chamber of commerce was originally just a messenger for the association to contact tower owners everywhere. Later, the content delivered was not only letters, but also special items exchanged between the tower owners and the association, and subsidies from the association to tower owners everywhere. So the messenger became a horse-drawn carriage.
With the carriage team, some tower owners asked to help them buy some things, or send the output of the magic tower to be sold somewhere. So the fleet size expanded.
After helping others deliver a lot of goods, the big guys in the association thought that they could make a profit by doing business themselves, specifically buying the output of various magic towers and then reselling them, and selling the goods needed by tower owners and delivering them to their doorsteps. . So the Chamber of Commerce was formed.
Other divisions will see whether a certain division will do this, and the benefits will be considerable. So other chapters followed suit.
To this day, the chambers of commerce that are affiliated with the Magicians Association have their own affiliations depending on the regional branches. The business scope is not limited to magicians, but also extends to ordinary people.
But for the magician who is the master of the tower, there are various preferential measures. After all, for the association, mastering the magicians who control strategic weapons in various places is a major priority. There is no need to be so divided over such trivial matters as money. On the contrary, having common interests makes each tower owner even more inseparable from the assistance of the Magician Association.
From Lin's perspective, doing well in the logistics industry means making money. The Magicians Association even integrated the shopping platform with logistics and started a unique business, making it difficult not to make money.
Making money will inevitably attract attention. But what kind of existence is the Magician Association? With the force of each district branch, it is not a big problem to destroy one or two small countries. From the past until now, I have heard of people who robbed the association's caravan, but I have never heard of people who were still safe after the robbery. He will definitely be destroyed, even his soul will be taken back and tortured for a hundred years.
Of course, the weapons to protect the caravan still need to be displayed to avoid unsightly people on the road. Lin looked at the riding camel - a huge bird that has better endurance and more agility than horses, and can fly for short periods of time. They are a kind of magical beast──the warriors whose clothes are all glowing with magical power are protecting the car and horse teams from the front and back, which makes people's eyes warm. 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 just ordinary people. If you don't have the experience of wallowing among the dead, you won't be able to get a high salary from the association or any magic items on your body.
Unfortunately, this kind of force cannot be commanded by Lin, the tower master. The caravan guards do not interfere in local affairs unless someone takes advantage of them. If they were just peeping, they were just being vigilant.
Just like now, the sight from the forest thought it was very hidden, but in fact it had already fallen into the eyes of these people. That's why the guards maintained a semicircular vigilance formation, surrounding the carriages and horses they wanted to protect.
Lin also knew that the boxes of items moved from the carriage into the Magic Tower, even though the contents could not be known, would definitely arouse greedy thoughts in some people. The silence these days does not mean peace in the future. He is just adhering to the spirit of adapting to the ever-changing situation and waiting for the other party to make the first move.
In addition, the longer the time dragged on, the better prepared he became, but Lin was not worried at all. All work is carried out in an orderly manner.
Until one afternoon when those bad things were almost forgotten, the impatient person finally appeared.
When three powerful men wearing iron breastplates and carrying giant axes walked out of the forest, the magic tower's early warning system immediately sounded in the ears of the three masters and disciples. Such alarms would come several times a day, but they were mostly caused by wild beasts running out of the forest.
Lin, who had been staying in the core room for several days in a row, redeploying the energy structure of the entire magic tower next to the console, looked at the people on the surveillance screen displayed on the mirror of the energy pool, and was not sure whether he was a target. It is not uncommon for adventurers in the wild to pass by the magic tower and buy magic props in the Lost World. It is also one of the ways of income for many tower owners.
However, the two young apprentices who had completed the structural work of the magic tower and were arranging the furniture in each room happened to be in the core room. Halumi could tell at a glance that the three of them were from that village and led the group that bullied her. Thinking of the frightening past, she couldn't help but shrink behind her companion, trembling slightly.
Looking at his apprentice's appearance, Lin sighed, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and at the same time ruffled the hair of the two girls mischievously, and said, "Go down and make preparations as planned before."
Her carefully taken care of hair was messed up, and the blonde girl temporarily forgot about that horrific memory. Instead, she pouted dissatisfiedly and looked at the instigator fiercely. On the other hand, Kaya wore two big braids. Because her hair was firmly tied, it did not become too messy. She also has a calmer personality. After tugging on the sleeves of a girl of the same age, the two of them ran away.
Lin silently turned on the tower's defense functions one by one, but the automatically triggered mechanisms were still turned off. He needs to talk to the other party first, and only after determining his attitude can he take any next action.
I saw the magical light of the console turning from green to red, extending to all the energy nodes of the entire tower in an instant, then extinguishing, and returning to the appearance of an ordinary stone building. There were no signs of all these changes outside the tower, just as it had been for thousands of years.
The door to the Magic Tower is open. In the Lost World, under non-war conditions, the magic tower door is open during the day, which means that this is an owned tower, and adventurers in need are also welcome to buy supplies or seek shelter.
But in the eyes of the three leaders of the village, this was no different than seeking death. The former tower owner of the Great Sage's Tower kept the door of the Magic Tower tightly closed day and night. Each time they had to bang on the door fiercely and utter threatening words before the other party would open a small crack and let in their own people.
Since the door was open today, they walked into the magic tower without hesitation. Seeing that the appearance of the first floor had changed somewhat, and the original damaged areas had been repaired, the man standing in the middle couldn't help but lick his lips, imagining in his mind how fat a sheep the new tower owner was.
"New here, why don't you greet the guests when they arrive?"
For a moment, Lin thought he had returned to the time when he had just traveled through time and was looked down upon by everyone. Ever since he was promoted to an official magician, he has never been treated like this again. Even nobles or magicians with a higher class than him still maintain a certain degree of respect.
It seems that this game cannot be improved. Lin So thought, while opening the sound transmission magic circle, he said: "Three distinguished guests, please go to the core room on the third floor."
The three people in the surveillance screen showed disdainful sneers. Before going upstairs, adjust your sidearm to a comfortable position. The leader took out a dagger glowing with magic power from his arms and hid it in his right palm. That must be the demon-breaking dagger that Halumi said was used to pierce her stone skin.
The three people had no idea that they were under surveillance. They thought they were ready for everything, so they walked up to the third floor. Lin looked at the surveillance camera and was speechless for a while.
The monitoring system is taken from the concept of the earth and implemented 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 was 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 your ex too weak? Lin guessed.
Turning off the surveillance screen, standing up and facing the direction of the stairs, Lin silently waited for the three people to appear. The most important thing is that the three people are cursing and cursing. There is really no need to continue to monitor. Just listening to it can tell how impatient they are.
As he walked through the door, before he could stand still, the biggest and thickest man said loudly: "Newcomer, your predecessor had a good time cooperating with our village. I think we should continue to cooperate in the same way as before." "
"What was the previous method?"
"We provide the raw materials, and you just help us make them into magic materials."
"Then..." Lin asked hesitantly, "How much compensation can I get?"
"Haha, what's the reward?" The three strong men looked at each other and laughed, and one of them said: "Your predecessor was kind enough to help us for free. I believe you have a good heart too."
