"It's that simple, give it all up."
Lin's back was turned to a certain lich, and he couldn't see the playful smile. But this does not prevent him from making important decisions. It's like explaining his intentions, more like convincing himself. Lin Yuan looked at the blue sky and said: "Everything has a price, and nothing can be gained without hard work. So the question is, how much price do I have to pay in order to keep the ownership of the tower and save my life?"
Without waiting for others to answer, Lin said: "All I can think of is surrendering to the invading demons. But the price of doing that is losing future freedom. And in the days of surrendering to the demons, what will happen? It's hard to predict when the tower or life will be taken away again. In other words, doing this is just postponing the threat of losing everything."
Finally turning around, Lin looked into Fen's eyes and said, "Then the next best thing is to take the magic tower as the price on the premise of saving one's life. It's not unacceptable."
Fen looked with interest at the man who said something carefree but with a face full of unwillingness, and said: "I have never considered taking a tough stance and asking that group of magician coalition forces you mentioned to stand on the front line to stop the demon army. . Otherwise, just roll your eyes and stare at the Tower of the Great Sage without any resistance, allowing the demons to drive straight in to harm the hinterland of mankind."
"If both sides have this kind of mentality, it's just betraying their teammates first and suffering later. No one will be pleased. And I'm not that kind of person. I can't say that kind of thing. I don't have enough interests to drive others. Don’t expect to achieve something with all your heart and soul, let alone this is a battlefield where you risk your life. If we have the history of my hometown, even if we capture the soldiers and charge them with heads and raise an army of one million, there must be a loyal army. The core force. Whether it's our own people who can't do anything, or as the main force of the enemy, it can shock all unreasonable thoughts. What do I have? I'm alone, barely counting the two dogs. I don't need others to be in front of the battle. If you rebel, just avoid fighting, my magic tower will be exposed to the eyes of the demons. Then everything will return to the original, and I will fight against the demon army with the power of one tower."
"Then." Fen deliberately made a long sound, pressed his finger on the tip of his nose, and said, "You haven't considered me?"
"You? I really don't have one." Someone's frankness made Fen look unconvinced. Lin could only comfort and said: "Don't be angry, I don't mean to look down on you. It's just that if you are the only one, I don't doubt that you can defeat the invading demons, but there are bound to be fish that slip through the net. There is no way to cover everything. Put the whole thing into consideration. It is unreasonable to place the hope of a war on you alone. There are so-called three gangs of heroes. No matter how hard you can fight alone, you still need a group of younger brothers to help you clean up some miscellaneous fish. Otherwise, you have such a powerful fighting force. I beat some minions, but let go of a more deadly opponent, and forget about it if others suffer. What I'm afraid of is that it will implicate me, so that's not unjust."
"Don't you want to take a gamble? It's not like there's no chance of winning."
"You said this yourself, which means you also admit that there are other possibilities. But you are betting on your own life. Isn't such a bet too big? I don't insist on a 100% success rate in doing things, but The risk in this matter is obviously greater than the possibility of success. I dare not place a bet on this."
"Don't you have confidence in the magic tower you transformed yourself? Didn't you fight off several waves of enemies?"
"I really don't have this. What's more, those rabble, what's the point of being proud of winning? In the history of my hometown, that is, the level of the county fire merger, can it be regarded as the same magnitude as the subsequent abyss invasion. The coalition that can defeat human nobles and vampires may not be able to resist the endless invading army of demons. If the demons behave exactly as mentioned in history. From this perspective, Handing over the magic tower is equivalent to using other people's lives to verify this transformation and see if there is a way to resist the invasion from another world. Isn't this worthwhile? No! It's very worthwhile."
Lin became more and more excited as he talked. At the end, he seemed to have been convinced, and said loudly: "That's right! That's it, use other people's lives to bet on this. No matter whether I win or lose, I will only pay for a magic tower, and other people will have to pay. Life."
Looking at the confident man's face, Fen was a little curious and asked, "Really you don't care at all?"
After asking lightly, the excited Lin's mood changed, and he smoothly and angrily slapped the astronomical telescope tube on the side. Fortunately, the tripod and the overall structure are of long-term fixed design and are made very stable. Lin does not have any magic on him. This shot prevented the key to finding the way home from being destroyed.
Such an action even shocked Lin himself. He quickly stroked the telescope and comforted a dead thing in a voice that sounded like a baby.
Although she had been sealed for thousands of years, Fen had been alive for hundreds of years. How could she not see that someone had messed up. No complaints, it’s a lie.
It's just like what Lin said, she really can't be sure to cover everything on her own. The three other people besides him seemed to have insufficient ability to protect themselves when facing the demon army. As for the magic tower, in her time, no one would rely on fixed buildings. The only thing you can trust is your own strength. And right now, we really need something handy.
So after thinking for a while, Fen interrupted someone who was mumbling and said, "I think the improvement of those four guns has come to an end. We will complete them according to the second plan. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will restart the research." .”
"Second option? Oh, okay." Lin, who had just come to his senses, was stunned for a moment before remembering what the second option of the transformation plan that had been discussed was.
Remove the method of being powered by magic stones or other means, and instead only absorb the holder's mana and power to convert into attack energy. The extra space is enough to lay out the magic array patterns that cannot be completely miniaturized and streamlined. Increase the energy conversion efficiency to nearly 40%.
With just such changes, the four guns can be said to be the exclusive weapons of a certain former demon king. Except for her, who has accumulated magical power that is unimaginable to others, other ordinary magicians cannot fire a few shots with this weapon. Even if the gun is fired, there may not be enough energy left to cast magic.
Anyway, these four guns were originally made for this former demon king. She had the final say on how to change it, and Lin didn't want to have too many opinions. Besides, the crisis will come at any time now, and there is no time to slowly make various modifications. So he threw himself into the casting room to make final modifications and adjustments.
At dinner time, Lin invited everyone, led by the great magician Chakvis and Greenwin, to dine in the magic tower. But in the end, only the chief student of Eton President Cheng Guo and the inspector, an old acquaintance, came.
Well, it seems that the leftover dishes after the meal were cheap for the two dogs Gray Hoof and White Nose.
As a member of the Great Sage's Tower, Fen was also present. This was her official appearance in front of the world, but the invited guests were not surprised. Perhaps the group of spies outside the tower had already sent information about her back to their respective forces. After all, Lin did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts after being resurrected from a certain lich, and she herself did not hide her whereabouts. There are always some customers who come to the door and see her figure, but they just don't know where they come from.
During the meal time, according to the etiquette of Midi, no serious business was discussed, and it was just gossip. For the tower master who had already made up his mind, he seemed to be willing to risk everything. During the dinner, he made a lot of cold jokes, which made everyone embarrassed. Even the two young apprentices who were serving him looked at him with contempt, but he didn't realize it.
But for a certain Lich, maybe the road to revenge a thousand years ago was too boring, and being sealed away for a thousand years was no entertainment at all. She was very happy with these cold jokes. Although he didn't laugh, his eyes flickered and the corners of his mouth curved from time to time, showing a look of interest. This can make someone more excited and make someone else miserable.
Fortunately, everyone is not a big-bellied man, let alone aristocrats. The various complicated etiquette makes people confused whether they are eating or acting. After the meal was finished, the two girls cleaned up. After tea was served, it was time to talk about business.
During the meal time, Lin noticed the uneasy expressions of the two guests, so he tried to tell some jokes to lighten the atmosphere. Although in terms of results, except for the former Demon King, it was quite a failure for everyone else. So when the discussion started, Lin said directly: "Basically, I accept the president's proposal. I am willing to hand over the Tower of the Great Sage."
Youfen had passed Qi with two young apprentices beforehand, so they could understand their teacher's thoughts. Of course, given their current situation, they are not qualified to offer any opinions. The two guests sitting opposite looked calm on the surface, but felt relieved in their hearts, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although with such a tone, there must be a proviso later, but at least there is something to talk about without having to go to the worst situation.
As the person in charge of this trip, Chakvis nodded and said: "Your Excellency is so sensible, it is a blessing to everyone. You must know that the Tower of the Great Sage will be the frontline location against the Abyss in the future, and its strategic value is unparalleled. The Association Recycled the Tower The ownership is also for the purpose of better planning and commanding the battle. Since the tower owner is willing to obey the association’s instructions, I don’t know if there is any cooperation from us, and the association will do its best.”
The meaning of these words is to make people put forward conditions. After all, if you want to take back the magic tower from a tower owner, the Magician Association certainly has such power and there are precedents to follow, but it cannot be without cost. Being able to get back the ownership of the tower through trade is of course the most ideal situation.
If you don't want to pay any benefits, the only result is that the tower owner will fight to the death and fight to the death. If things really get to this point, it can't be solved by killing a few people and paying a little money. Attacking the tower is not an easy task for the magician coalition. And it can be expected that there will be a large number of casualties.
So Lin was not going to be polite and was ready to put forward his own conditions.
