When using magic scrolls in the Lost World, it is not just about tearing them apart or unfolding them. Some need to be attached to the target, and some require mental guidance. As long as the user is not a magician, there will always be some troubles to overcome, and it is not so convenient to use. So there won't be any new recruits, novices, using scrolls of forbidden spells to kill everything.
This not only gave Lin some time, but also woke up the two big dogs sleeping outside the tower. In the surveillance screen, Gray Hooves and White Nose turned over, their front bodies lying low, their teeth bared and their mouths growling low. The tower master who stayed in the core room calmly pressed the two buttons on the console. Suddenly, the outer wall of the Tower of the Great Sage shone brightly, as bright as day.
It was originally intended to be a searchlight. After facing the threat of vampires, Lin simply made a major renovation of the walls inside and outside the Tower of the Great Sage. No, the vampire's enemies were instantly wiped out.
The funniest thing is the dark elf attacker. Lin didn't think about it at first. It wasn't until he saw a group of dark-skinned men and women covering their eyes and rolling around on the ground that he remembered that these distant relatives of elves who had lived in the underground world for a long time had long been unable to adapt to the sunlight on the surface. Although not fatal, it is definitely not easy to live with.
The werewolves howled and quickened their pace; the gray dwarves slowed down, and some even stopped attacking and considered the rationality of escaping. All kinds of thoughts were drowned in the attacks of light bullets all over the sky. Just like the third stage attack speed against the noble coalition, there was no one left on the vampire side, and only six to seven hundred people died in a few breaths.
Are Arcane Eyes Necessary? of course not.
When Lin used this attack system to defeat the three large monsters attacking the tower, he did not have the magic building of the Arcane Eye.
The difference is that without the guidance of the Arcane Eye, precise strikes cannot be achieved. But it's not a problem to lock down the attack. But in this way, the light bullet may hit the hand or foot, causing non-fatal injuries.
The solution is also simple. Since the target is still alive, fire the second and third shots. If you still can't kill him, increase the power and fire the fourth and fifth shots until the target shows no signs of life. In fact, this is the original appearance of this attack system.
In this way, a vigorous attack launched by the dark world against the magic tower was suppressed with more powerful violent means. And, silently.
The residents of the town only noticed the dazzling white light emitting from the direction of the magic tower, but they did not know that they had just passed a war and a massacre.
When the targeted targets fell silent one after another, and the light spots on the surveillance screen disappeared one by one, the three masters and apprentices standing in the tower had mixed feelings. Another threat was neutralized.
There is no sense of pleasure and no excitement of victory. Perhaps at the beginning, I looked at this war with a relaxed mood. But after it was really over, a kind of helplessness, a kind of sadness, and many complicated feelings filled my chest.
Kaya played with her big braids. This is what she does when she is very irritable. Otherwise, she would not let others touch her hair and head easily.
Halumi asked in a bitter voice: "Teacher, why are so many people coming here to die again and again?"
Lin knew this answer very well, but he had never told his two young apprentices before. Now that he was asked, he did not think of avoiding the question, but said bluntly: "Because we are too weak."
"Are we considered weak?" Halumi asked in surprise.
"There is a saying in my hometown, no one will shed tears until he sees the coffin. No one will easily admit that he is weaker than others, and always have the mentality of trying. Only if you hit your head all over, you will really feel the pain. , will you recognize the facts. In the eyes of others, it took me nearly ten years to transform from an apprentice to a formal magician; I have only owned a magic tower for almost three years; the only help is , they are two disciples who spent three years to become a first-level magic apprentice. No matter how you evaluate it, we are weak. There are countless magicians with better qualifications than us, and they will die in the process of growing up. Not to mention us. Who are now recognized as strong? They didn’t start fighting when they were young and carve out a life for themselves, which is why they have the reputation they have today. Compared with them, we are indeed weak. That’s right.”
"But we have a magic tower." Halumi tried to argue.
"After all, the magic tower is a foreign object, not our own strength. Past experience tells them that a three-story tower stationed by an ordinary magician is not an invulnerable and perfect fortress. No matter how clever the traps and functions are, there will definitely be weaknesses. . Even if the weakness is hidden deeper and the strength is stronger, in the human world, it is still a weakness in the eyes of others. Needless to say, from the time we entered the tower, except for those who came to cause trouble at the beginning Except for the villagers and robbers, are there any enemies that appear later that we can defeat alone? None. As long as we are out of the protection of the magic tower, we don't even have a chance to survive."
After taking a long breath, Lin looked at the money box placed in the corner of the core room with a complicated expression. The gold coins inside are the source of all disasters. "Not to mention that there are benefits here that are unimaginable to ordinary people. If no one knows about these things, then forget it. However, the fact that we are very rich is constantly being publicized on the forum, and the more it is spread, the more exaggerated it is. And this kind of thing This is another nonsense that is concealed and can easily become darker and darker. It is wrong to come forward to explain or not to explain. If a weak person has a large amount of wealth, if you don't rob him, who will rob him? In the vast majority of the informed people, As long as there are a few who are a little stupid and greedy, we will become the target of attack. Fortunately, most people still have some sense and some face, and will not put such dirty thoughts on the table. But we cannot stand up to the masses. There are so many of them that if there are just a few of them, we will be exhausted. Speaking of which, I just want to find a piece of land where I can observe my stars with peace of mind. Is there anything wrong with that?"
The two girls grew up in poverty, so they became parents early. Their mental and ideological maturity is not comparable to half-grown children of the same age, but they are still children after all. Maybe they have seen the darkness of society and the greed of human nature, but they are only entry-level at best. Society is darker than they imagined, and human nature is more greedy than they have ever seen.
But none of this is something they should touch or worry about at their age. Lin grabbed the heads of the two girls, messed up their hair again, and said: "Don't think too much. It's enough for you to know these things now. But if you want to worry, leave it to me as a teacher. Okay. The direction you should focus on, besides your apprenticeships, is..."
Seeing that his teacher was hesitant to speak, Halumi asked: "What is it?"
Lin pointed to the surveillance screen, where two large dogs running into the pile of werewolves were seen nudging the dead bodies in different shapes with their front feet. Some of the deceased died in the form of werewolves; some reverted to human appearance and then died; and some died in the weird appearance of half man and half wolf.
They did this not to protect the Tower of the Great Sage or their master. Just out of curiosity, or maybe looking for some meat to eat.
Thinking back to Grayhoof and Whitenose's previous behavior, and their current self-assertive behavior. Lin gritted his teeth and said, "If these two dogs continue to be raised like this, they will be useless. A group of enemies surrounded the tower, and they actually let them charge halfway before the two dogs noticed the warning. One day they fell asleep, and the dog's head I'm not surprised at all that someone didn't notice being cut. So, while you are learning the second-ring magic, these two beasts should also be trained by me. If this continues, winter is coming soon. In my hometown, dog meat is very nutritious, do you know?"
After sending the two girls away, Lin began to prepare to clean up the aftermath.
In the first step, Lin Xian opened his arcane eyes. He was curious about the items that clearly contained a large amount of mana and power. Although the general monitoring screen can be zoomed, the resolution will not increase. The picture is too large, like looking at a mosaic.
But after using the Arcane Eye, there is no such problem. Within the scope of action, you can choose the distance and adjust the size at will, and the clarity will still be as visible to the naked eye. Instead of going out to see it in person, I was afraid that someone would fake the body.
In addition to the vampires who turned into gray, who knows if those werewolves, gray dwarves, and dark elves have any means of feigning death, and they can just deceive the existing detection technology of the Tower of the Great Sage. If his true identity was exposed easily, and he was hit hard without anyone noticing, he would be dead, and Lin would have nowhere to cry.
In the zoomed-in shot, there is a magic scroll. The patterns are complicated, the text is difficult, and the layout of the magic circles is one inside another, which looks very high-end. At the same time, the vanguard dead in the other three directions also have the same magic scroll in their hands.
Use the magic tower version of Boka Moshaw's Giant Palm to collect the scrolls. Lin turned on the item identification system again, marking all large and small items within the range.
That being said, this system is still in the development stage, and the chance of misidentification is very high, so at best it can only give Lin a reminder that there is something here. But not having a mark doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and having a mark doesn't mean it's very important. It's just for reference.
I do this, of course, just to collect loot. In the previous attack on the noble coalition, due to the large number of people, more than 6,000 people, and the royal family revival army headed by the eldest princess of Frank Kingdom watching, Lin did not make any move to touch the corpse.
On the one hand, it was also because too many people died and it was too tragic. It was the first time Lin faced such a thing, and he felt a little psychologically uncomfortable, so he hastily cremated the corpses and buried them. However, during the cremation process, many metal lumps were left behind. These were the melted and mixed remnants of the weapons and armor of soldiers and nobles.
These metal lumps of mixed materials are all piled up in the casting room of the tower, waiting for separation and purification when they are free. In addition, Lin believed that those nobles must have some life-saving items or treasures to carry with them. It's a pity that all these were reduced to ashes with that fire.
Now they are dark creatures and enemies of mankind, including the famous vampires and dark elves. When I played fantasy RPGs on Earth, these were all high-level monsters. If only a whiteboard dagger and a few copper coins were dropped from his body, the game production company would not be booed by the players.
Simply put, what these people wear should be good things. So Lin also took it seriously and carefully searched for the corpses. As the saying goes, once you are born, you will become familiar with it twice, and you will become a master after three times. After correcting his mentality and transforming into a bloodless and tearless version of the Mysterious World, Lin no longer had any psychological barriers to such behavior as touching corpses on a large scale. Not to mention that there is a screen between them, so you don’t have to do it with your hands.
