Unable to appease the barking of the two dogs, the two girls also sensed something was wrong and ran to the core room on the third floor.
The tower master who is staying on the third floor has opened the half-finished arcane eye. Just look at the surroundings and ceiling of the core room, which have been replaced by surveillance images, becoming a 360-degree real-time view of the entire sky. Combined with a mirror energy pool and several water mirror techniques suspended in mid-air, it presents a flat map and different types of monitoring images.
Since some auxiliary materials to be mobilized from afar have not yet been delivered, but several main materials have been collected, Lin has already organized the Arcane Eye.
The shortcoming at this stage is that it cannot monitor the environment outside the tower around the clock, and the monitoring distance is not as good as the full version. Furthermore, because the facility has not yet been completely structured, Lin did not make any optimization improvements. He only presented the received pictures according to his own imagined needs.
Just see that all biological activities on the screen are marked, and new power energy level classifications are used to distinguish them by color. Creatures that are closer to the magic tower can also see their outlines from the aura displayed. The darkest color in the picture, which appears greenish to bluish, is the two big dogs outside the tower barking towards the west. Naturally, that direction also became the focus of the three masters and apprentices.
But no matter how you look, you can't see any threatening creature in the west.
Will it be outside the detection range, or will it be a spirit, that is, a ghost? Since there is no spirit body to use as a reference, Lin is not sure whether his system can identify ghosts.
"Teacher, look, the sky."
Following Halumi's instructions, Lin looked at the scene in the western sky. From the rainy clouds, a huge thing glowing with light blue light descended. Because the object is quite large, its aura outline can be observed even from a long distance. And as soon as he saw that appearance, Lin knew what was coming.
An airship is a flying ship for transportation that combines the craftsmanship of elves, dwarves, goblins, etc., as well as the modification and ingenuity of humans. The traditional shape is based on a ship wandering on the sea, with a swirling propeller similar to that designed by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance on Earth.
The most important thing on the hull is a secondary energy pool, which does not itself have an energy source, but is used to store energy. You can connect to the energy pool of the magic tower to recharge, or you can use magic stones to replenish it. Basically, once it is fully charged, it can fly conventionally in the sky for thirty to fifty days.
Incidentally, in Lin's arcane eye monitoring, the color of any item or creature can only represent the energy level it contains, and cannot directly be regarded as dangerous. Just like the light blue aura of the airship, most of the energy is used to maintain the flight state.
Of course, an airship can also become a formidable war machine. Just because it is in the sky, most of the attack methods of Homo sapiens in the Lost World are difficult to use. However, there is no airship corps in the southwestern peninsula of the mainland. It is the Haider Empire in the east of the mainland, whose main emblem is the gryphon beast, that has such an organization.
There is only one airship in the southwestern peninsula of the mainland, and it does not belong to any kingdom. It is the Gauss Bertone of the Leon District Branch of the Western Magician Association. The name comes from a certain president of the Leon District Chapter, and it was that president who presided over the construction of such an airship.
That airship is not a pure war weapon because it does not have the ability to independently attack the magic tower. If it carries more magicians, it would be easy to launch magic bombings against ground troops, or even use forbidden spells to cleanse the ground. But under normal circumstances, this airship is more like a symbol of status.
No, green, yellow and red fireworks were released from the airship, followed immediately by a purple fireworks. The purple smoke represents the chief, while the green, yellow and red represent the Leon District Chapter. Immediately after the leader of the branch logo, the person who came was none other than the president of the Leon District Chapter, Jose Carlos.
Then the airship released red, green and red fireworks, followed by a purple fireworks. Before Lin could realize it, there were three colors of yellow, white and red again, followed by purple.
…
Noonan District President Rashidiya and Cadiz District President Gray Otto were also on the airship?
Why does it feel like a joint trial of three divisions?
Although he is not his immediate boss, he has a higher status and more seniority than him, so he must give him some face. Don't show off your phantom clones or anything like that. Lin obediently walked to the gate, ready to greet the three distinguished guests.
The airship doesn't look like it's here to cause trouble. In an open space outside the tower, the huge thing floating in the sky fell slowly against the light rain. The three dignitaries did not wait pretentiously for the flowers on the red carpet, nor did they wait to lower the trestle, and directly used the floating technique to get off the boat.
Lin held an umbrella and greeted the three of them. "Three presidents."
"Your Excellency, Tower Master." The three old men saluted together. They were dressed in formal robes and wore small shawls representing each district. As for the light rain falling from the sky, he uses the magic of blocking to keep it out. They all have different appearances, but they all look energetic and full of oppression.
The three presidents went out in person, and they did not want anyone to surround them. They were alone and walked towards Guybrash Lin Tripwood who came out to greet him.
It was quiet on the airship. It didn't look like anyone was busy preparing to disembark. It seemed that the only guests were the three main guests. Lin welcomed the three of them into the tower and said, "I would like to ask your forgiveness, my lords. Our tower is simple and only the dining room is a decent place for entertaining. So I can only invite you three to have a rest in the dining room."
"It doesn't matter. The Magic Tower is not like a noble residence. It is also responsible for hosting banquets. Just have a place to discuss things." One of the presidents responded politely.
Lin also led the three people into the restaurant. The two girls who were sent to tidy up the restaurant have just arranged everything. The so-called layout actually means covering the unsightly areas such as the stove with cloth, tidying up the environment a little, arranging the tables and chairs in order, and welcoming the three guests.
After serving a cup of hot tea to the three people sitting there, the two apprentices stepped aside and waited. Lin, the master, sat directly opposite the long table, feeling as if he was on Earth for an interview at a company. The question is, why is there such a big battle today? Those five inspectors who died before? Or there are other reasons.
The most troublesome thing is that Lin can't recognize who is opposite. Anyone who dares to show off his status as president is probably not a fake Xibei product. So I can only exchange one sentence with the other party, but not a single greeting.
There were three people on the other side of the problem, one on my side, and the two apprentices were too young to get in the middle of the conversation. It feels like being pinned down to the ground and beaten by three people. You punch him and he punches you, but you have no ability to resist. Especially when the other party's intentions were unclear, Lin was even more cautious when talking to the three of them, for fear of offending the other party. I was in a cold sweat and my mouth was dry.
Little did they know that the three people on the opposite side were even more worried than Lin. I'm afraid that if they don't agree with each other, they will be destroyed again. However, the panicked look of the tower master was not clear to the eyes of the three sophisticated and experienced superiors. But what they are not sure about is whether the tower owner is pretending or is it true?
Just as the aimless conversation gradually reached a deadlock, ─ No one could help it. The reason why the former fat otaku was a nerd was not because he didn't have the skills to start chatting. ─One of them coughed and said first: "Your Excellency Tripwood."
"Yes!" Lin replied loudly.
"Don't worry, we don't have any bad intentions here. The most important thing is to discuss the magic knowledge you created."
"Browser?"
"Yes. If there is a certain magic that is good enough, from the standpoint of the association, of course it is hoped that this knowledge can be spread as widely as possible. But the vast majority of magic that will be recognized in this way is usually accumulated in a small area. With enough fame and continuous improvement by many people, it is possible to eventually become a version circulated by associations across the continent. It takes time to accumulate and accumulate, and usually the original creator will not see this day.──"
What does it mean? Like the painters on Earth, paintings are not valuable until a person dies?
"─But there are always exceptions. There are also some magical knowledge that are considered worthy of promotion as soon as they are born, but it is related to the interests of the original creator. Branches in other districts must obtain the consent of the original creator before they can promote this knowledge. And this part has nothing to do with the division you originally belonged to. And the benefits that should be distributed will be delivered in full, of course, the time period may be longer. Do you think it is appropriate to do this? "
"Oh, of course it's no problem for this little thing. Just to be polite, I still have to inform the president of our district."
"Of course, as it should be."
Hearing that this was the case, Lin took a deep breath in his heart. He turned around and ordered: "Kaya, please prepare three copies of the documentation and magic stones for the domain name system, web system, and browser. Give them to the three presidents as soon as possible."
"No, I won't bother you about this part." The president who had been leading the conversation stopped the girl's actions and said: "In fact, our branch has already mastered the relevant knowledge. As long as you agree, we will It can be disseminated and promoted. Just..."
Looking at the person who was pretending to be embarrassed, Lin knew that today's drama was coming. It was finally clear why the other party came out with all three kings in such a big way.
"The magic knowledge you just ordered does not seem to include the mall system. Why is this?"
Making a helpless expression, Lin Jian was also very helpless and said: "I dare not hide it from the three adults. The mall system is not the magic knowledge I handed over to the association, but the president of the Xijia District branch, Chengguo Eaton Your Excellency entrusted me to design a commercial system. There was an agreement at the beginning not to sell this system to anyone else. After all, I received Xbar Kir (10,000 gold) as a reward. If I break the contract, I will be in the magic circle. I can’t survive here anymore.”
"This thing is true!" The three old men had actually heard similar rumors. But it wasn't until the person involved said it today that I was convinced of the matter. They also felt embarrassed and tried hard to think of a solution.
It is definitely impossible to force the tower master in front of him. I was still in someone else's magic tower, and there were only three great magicians who died in front of me and two more magicians; today there are only three here, which is not enough to fill the gap between the opponent's teeth.
It is unjustifiable to ask the other party to breach the contract. Each district branch is on the same level, with no superiority or inferiority. It is difficult to ask a tower owner to break his trust on the grounds of his own interests. Doing so can easily lead to vicious competition among branches and run counter to the original intention of the association.
And Lin stood on his own side, and he didn't intend to push the matter aside. Not only does it have the intention of promoting it, but he also needs to be careful to guard against a few big shots saying some unacceptable tricks for their own benefit. It won’t be a matter of agreeing then, nor will it be a refusal. To avoid this, you have to dominate the conversation. Therefore, Lin did not let them worry for too long and said directly:
"Three adults. In fact, the original intention of President Eaton and I to agree not to leak the mall system was for those chambers of commerce under the royal family and nobles in the Xijia District, not for the various regional branches of the same association. So it is better for me to contact you. President Eaton, how about you three negotiate with President Eaton directly?”
"It seems that's the only way to go." The three nodded in agreement. Sometimes side tricks are really not as useful as the main attack method. This matter still needs to be discussed with the big brother to find a solution.
