As soon as the suggestion came out, the frowning brows of the old president Chengguo Eaton relaxed, and the happy expressions of the other three people also softened slightly. It's not that these powerful people are not as smart as Lin, a young man from time travel, who can think of these methods. The most important thing is that their expertise is in the field of magic.
Perhaps reaching such a high position as president would give him some experience in leadership and control. But when it comes to business and economics, the chambers of commerce under them may be sent to manage matters, but they are still better than themselves. So now I can only stare blankly at the rookie magician who just finished his long speech.
This should be regarded as a reciprocal proposal, but the biggest reason why these four big figures will come out to argue today is still their respective interests. After all, the president is not a king or emperor, and many things still need to be discussed. So Chenguo Eaton was the first to speak and said: "Three little friends, I don't think we can make a decision on today's matter on the spot. We need to find some people to discuss it and clarify our thoughts. So I propose that tomorrow afternoon How about continuing?"
It can be said that the three presidents are eager for this opinion. They had received too much information at once, so they needed to sort it out and ask an expert before they could continue the discussion. So they accused each other and then dispersed. The three returned to the airship to rest, but it seemed that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and many people would not be able to sleep.
After seeing off the guests, Lin exhaled a long breath, which was considered a test. When doing things, you are most afraid of being sandwiched between big people on both sides. If you lean to one side, you will naturally offend the other side. For a man whose purpose is to eat and die and wait for death, it is foolish to choose sides, and it is wise to be a coward.
Lin also believed that with the sophisticated vision of the four presidents, they could not see that this was a cooperation plan in which each of them had to make concessions in exchange for greater benefits. But to their level, it is no longer simply a calculation of economic interests, but a political calculation. They all have their own interest groups behind them, and only if they can deal with the group of jackals hiding behind the scenes can they possibly cooperate in the future.
Just after the three presidents returned to the airship, the spaceship that was moored in the open space and had not completely landed seemed to come alive.
One after another, people got off the boat and communicated with Lin, the tower master. Of course, the most popular thing is the outdoor hot spring bath on the second floor. All kinds of beauties, maybe apprentices, maybe formal magicians, one person or two people are using the hot spring pool. The night scene with light rain outside the tower is quite emotional for people who have never enjoyed it so much.
Of course, there were some men who borrowed it, but not those who took the mandarin duck bath. Because that is not a habit in the Lost World, let alone doing it in other people's homes. Lin himself planned to endure it for a day and did not want to be involved in any more romantic encounters, especially this time there was a boatload of people watching, and the last time it was only five or six people. If you get too hot by playing a game, it will be more tragic this time.
I originally thought that two young apprentices would be able to take care of these trivial matters. Lin could stay in the core room and continue the interrupted research. However, against the will of the people, two girls still came to the door with something they couldn't make up their mind about. Looking at the group of magicians in front of them, they are so powerful. The one in the lead, wearing a small cloak with two golden tassels, greeted Lin and said:
"My greetings, Lord Tripwood. I am Cuenca Carlos, captain of the Gosportun."
"Sir Carlos." Faced with the great magician's salute, Lin Ke did not dare to accept it boldly and quickly returned the salute. Moreover, the person in front of him also had the same surname as Carlos, so he might be related to their president, Jose Carlos. Even if he is not a princeling, he must be a powerful figure in the Leon District Chapter. He has become the captain of the only airship in the southwest peninsula. He cannot be a small person.
"Today's meeting is to ask for your assistance as the captain of the Gosbottom. I hope Guita will allow the ship to be tethered and replenished with energy."
After Lin came to the world of Lost World, he discovered that there were unscientific means of transportation like airships, so he naturally paid more attention to the relevant data. The airship's secondary energy pool cannot generate energy independently. If it relies on magic stones to charge it, the money spent will be unimaginable. Generally this is only possible during wartime.
In normal times, the airship is tethered to the magic tower and replenished with the help of the tower's energy pool. In the spirit of mutual aid among magicians, most tower owners would not refuse such a request.
Thinking of this, Lin felt speechless about this semi-permanent energy source that does not require fuel to support and does not produce waste. The biggest cheat in the world of Lost World is definitely the energy pools in the magic towers. If Tesla, the god of the earth, is lost in the earth, he is not crazy.
Lin basically agreed to Cuenca Carlos's request, but there was a problem. Just like on Earth, when people travel with their mobile phones, they naturally don’t forget to bring their own chargers and wires. But there must be an outlet to use it.
The Tower of the Great Sage doesn't have that kind of thing, a facility called a 'bollard'. It can form an energy channel with the special cable of the airship, and continuously transport the mana and power in the energy pool of the magic tower to the secondary energy pool on the airship.
Bollards are not a standard facility in the Magic Tower. People who don't need them will naturally not consider installing them. There is only one airship on the southwestern peninsula of the mainland. Unless it is a war, if it is full of energy, it can usually carry people or cruise around the peninsula two or three times, and then return to Leon District after more than a month. Mooring point recharges.
So Lin spoke out about his situation. It’s not that I won’t help, it’s that I can’t help.
However, Cuenca Carlos was thoughtful and said, "Don't worry, sir. The few behind me are masters in the construction of magic towers. As long as we get your consent, we will be responsible for the materials and construction of the bollards." , You don’t have to worry about it.” After saying that, he took a step forward and introduced several older magicians behind him.
They look more like people working in academic research rather than adventuring outside. Therefore, the position and attributes of the clothes and magic equipment are different from those of magicians who are good at fighting. The only thing that made Lin feel familiar was the proud look on their faces. On Earth, some people with technical skills would have the same arrogance when talking about their majors. Lin is not disgusted, but respects such characters.
Moreover, it sounds like the other party is willing to provide materials and labor, all he needs to do is nod his head. There seems to be no reason to refuse such a good bargain.
So after agreeing, the other party divided into two groups. One group returned to the airship, re-launched the airship, moved it to the predetermined parking position, and moved materials from the ship. Another group of people followed Lin up from the central stairwell to the top floor.
Because the appearance of the Tower of the Great Sage was already damaged, the top of the tower was not spared. When Lin was repairing it, he did not restore the top of the tower to its integrity, so a large piece was still missing on the east side of the top of the tower.
On the north and south sides, cat-ear-like pointed walls were erected for the placement of arcane eyes. The most eye-catching thing is the round ruby the size of a goose egg, which is embedded at the top of the pointed wall. This is the top primary material. However, the wall structure is not complete, and there are still several hollow parts, which are caused by the lack of materials. Because of this, the Arcane Eye cannot be opened around the clock.
As for the location where bollards can be built, considering the trestle for people to go up and down, the only choice is to choose the edge stone on the west side of the tower top and replace it with bollards. Apart from the temporary erection of the trestle, there were no other requirements, so Lin pointed out a random spot in the west and asked, "Do those masters need my help in any way?"
"Don't bother the tower master. Just turn on the energy channel display and leave the rest to us."
He said it politely, but the contempt on his face was unconcealed. The tempers of the craftsmen in the world of Mystery are far from comparable to that country that has been devastated for thousands of years by "Everything is inferior, only education is good". So after eating the paitou, Lin could only touch his nose. It's hard to complain just because the other person's hair is a few more gray. "Then I'll go back to the console to operate. As long as the energy channel appears, please work on it."
Because that was not a routine operation, Lin did not set up a quick spell casting mode and could only go back to the core room console to operate it. But what he didn't expect was that the magicians all over the Great Sage's Tower were waiting for this moment in the name of communicating or borrowing the bath. The moment the magic energy channel appears, it is equivalent to exposing the secret of the magic tower to everyone.
Due to the existence of magic tower logs, and the association's detailed data on each magic tower, including the internal layout and types of strategic attack magic built. So Lin innocently thought that the Magic Tower had no secrets in the eyes of everyone. The confidentiality he required from his two apprentices was nothing more than personal privacy. Regarding the tower's information, he never thought about keeping it secret.
Except for the core room where it is difficult to station people, there are magicians in other places who find various reasons to stay. They were all pretending to be doing their own thing, and then they were distracted to pay attention to the various layouts of the tower. Because we don’t know when the tower master will reveal the energy channel, nor how long it will take. So everyone was fumbling around or looking for someone to talk to, trying not to make their presence appear too obtrusive.
Amidst the resonant sound of "buzzing.", the magical energy channel that should be regarded as secret began to appear. It starts from the energy pool in the core room on the third floor and extends towards every corner of the tower. If you stand outside the tower and look at it, you can see light cyan light patterns from top to bottom, densely covering the entire outer wall of the tower. In the dark night, with the light rain, it seemed as if the tower came alive.
The chatter stopped, and the people who were touching the motionless places also stopped. Even the group of magicians who were about to unload the bollard materials from the airship stopped moving. They were not trying to memorize the secrets of the Tower of the Great Sage, they were simply frightened.
