Knowledge is power, this sentence can be said to be a wise saying in the circle of magicians.
Don't look at it. The Magician Association seems to care very much about the inheritance of magic and the circulation of knowledge. Therefore, it is stipulated that every magician must submit a new magic to the association in every three-year cycle, and then the association will disseminate this magic knowledge for a fee.
In fact, not many magicians would give up their unique skills. Of course, sometimes there are shady magical researches that cannot be made public to the world.
Just like those magicians who developed powerful attack magic in history, this spell was eventually classified as a forbidden spell. Before they reveal their unique skills, they will always be spied on from all sides. Spell models, spells, tips, attack range, distance, etc., there is nothing that others don't want to know.
Some people want to master this powerful magic, while others hope to find ways to crack it or find weaknesses, or even attack weaknesses or countermeasures. For all purposes, the same thing is that you have to pry open the inventor's mouth to know the secret.
However, most magicians will reveal the secrets of their magic due to various oversights or reasons. Only a few people can keep it a secret until the moment of their death. Perhaps it is lost, or perhaps future generations can recreate this unheard magic from the relics.
The outstanding achievements of the Great Sage's Tower are, in the eyes of magicians, especially the tower owners, a more attractive treasure than the Kir Gold Coin. Therefore, those superficial thoughts of those who had any intention of Lin's net worth were all dismissed by another group. The knowledge of transforming the Great Sage's Tower is Lin's most valuable goal now.
Of course, for most people who have intentions, the best situation is that they have control of it themselves and others don't know. This requires someone's cooperation. That's why the recent series of troubles have occurred, Lin thought to himself.
The reason why no one aims to get rid of him is probably because he has escaped the protection of the magic tower and is just a lamb to be slaughtered in their eyes. That's why the first priority is to seize knowledge, instead of killing yourself to prevent knowledge from falling into the hands of others, thereby posing a threat to those people themselves.
After thinking clearly about what the great magician Greenwen meant, Lin sighed softly, his expression full of helplessness. How could the person sitting across from him not know Lin's change in mood. This is how I came to be. The difference is that I took refuge early in Chengguo Eaton, who was not the president at the time. It was also because of his ability to fight with that ruthless energy that he came to prominence.
The reason why I came to contact this magician now is simply to take advantage of the pressure from others and take the opportunity to show goodwill to recruit more talents for my faction. This can be regarded as taking advantage of others, and it is also one of the reasons for the delay in revealing the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to prevent the magician from surrendering prematurely and directly joining that party. From what he observed, Lin was not the kind of person with a very strong willpower.
However, there is one biggest variable in all these intentions, which is the existence of the lich. Regarding the resurrected original demon king Fenitikal, Greenwin and Chengguo Eaton have truly witnessed each other's unfathomability, which is the main reason why they did not choose to use strong methods.
As for the relationship between the two people living together, Greenwin would not dare to take any action until he understood this, even if the top leaders of the branch issued a death order. At least it is necessary to understand whether the two are simply a combination of interests, or whether the original demon king will come forward for someone's wishes or harm.
But you still have to say what you need to say, and you won't offend anyone by asking anyway. "Sir, Mr. Tripwood, don't you want to hand over that knowledge?"
"I have such a plan." Lin said cheerfully.
Greenwyn was startled when he heard this. Do you think this is how things are done?
"but--"
Greenwin's heart dropped again. It was normal to have a proviso, and it was abnormal to have no proviso.
"——There are some questions I want to ask first."
"Well, please tell me." Greenwin took a sip of coffee to cheer up a little and listened carefully to Lin's next question.
"Although the association also sells knowledge books such as 'Magic for Beginners' and 'Apprentice Assessment Guide', there seems to be no method for magicians to submit such knowledge. As far as I know, the relevant regulations are all about how to hand over magic. There is a set of standards for the pricing and evaluation of magic; but none of them is about a set of knowledge. "
"Turn in a set of knowledge?" Greenwen asked puzzledly.
"That's right. You see, whether Fen wants to compare ancient and modern magic, or I want to program the knowledge of the magic tower, these are not explanations of a single magic. And although the association has books on knowledge, the number is Very rare. Compared with the huge number of various magics, there are only a few introductory books on knowledge. In addition, the contents of knowledge books are not directly usable magic. Regarding this, how will the association position itself? Should it be counted in the amount paid every three years, or do we not admit that this is magic at all, and do not accept such a payment."
"Well, these are indeed questions. I can help you ask the president for his opinion. But Mr. Tripwood, you mentioned that the magic tower programming belongs to a set of knowledge. What does this part refer to?"
"To use a relatively simple way to describe it, we lay out a magic circle. We need a circle here and a triangle there; we need to fill in such runes here and use some kind of mark there. Maybe we follow the existing Style, you can probably get the same effect by following the same pattern. But what if something goes wrong? How do we debug it? What if we want to extend it and create a magic circle with other kinds of effects? These all require some of the most basic knowledge to support.”
"In other words, the programming of the magic tower is different from the existing system of magic and magic circles. For others who want to learn, basic knowledge is still not enough."
"Of course, if you look at it, I have been publishing several sets of browser-related magic for several years. The most basic source code in it has not been encrypted in any way. It is completely exposed in the sun for everyone to watch. But some people use those Things, whether it is creating your own forum, email, or even server? No. Even according to the settings I set up, it is quite difficult to make some personalized settings, let alone some more sophisticated ones. changes. So I think some basic knowledge is necessary.”
After pondering for a long time, Greenwin thought carefully about Lin's words. To be honest, in today's booming forum, he has also studied the underlying program code. Even if I don’t fully understand what those heavenly words are doing, I still hope to get some inspiration from them. But no matter how many times he studied it, the result never changed, and he couldn't understand a word.
Regarding this point, in the small circle of discussion forum program code, it is unanimously believed that this is the magic written by the magician Gablesh Tripwood using some special secret script. It could be some forgotten god, those words that have been lost; or it could be the sweet poison given by some evil being from the abyss of chaos.
However, after listening to my explanation today, I can more or less understand the confusion I had before. But for a new magician—for great magicians like Greenwin, Lin's qualifications are still considered a rookie—is it possible to create a completely new system of magic?
Forget it, let’s not question it for now. Greenwin said seriously, "I will truthfully convey your opinions to the president and other decision-makers. Please wait for the good news. Is there anything else you want to convey?"
"I have nothing else to convey to the president and the others. I just wonder if Mr. Greenwin knows where I can borrow a large conference venue?"
"You want to borrow the parliament?" Someone looked at the questioner with a strange expression.
Lin quickly explained, "No, no, no, I don't want to borrow the parliament. I want to ask if there is a similar place where one person can make a speech and then have a lot of listeners. And it has to be indoors, not like an open-air square."
What Lin was thinking about was that compared to Earth, there were two things missing in the Lost World: a stage and a school.
Although there are also performances in Midi's entertainment projects, there is no fixed stage. Most of the performances performed for the nobles went directly to the nobles' castles or houses, and they started performing in a small corner of a relatively large room. Of course, in this format, there won’t be any environmental arrangements, and the focus will be on the actors. If it is a performance for civilians, it can be performed anywhere on the roadside or in a square, and there is no so-called stage.
And the same goes for schools. For education in Midi, if you are a noble, you can directly hire a private tutor for one-on-one teaching. If you are a small noble who cannot afford a private teacher, your parents may teach you in person, or a more knowledgeable vassal may impart knowledge.
Ordinary people also have the opportunity to study, which is to send them to monasteries. Missionaries who worship the gods will not be stingy in teaching knowledge in order to better spread the teachings and increase the number of people who are willing to travel around to spread the teachings for the sake of the gods. After all, it is self-evident which person will be more convincing, a knowledgeable missionary or a missionary who knows nothing.
As for the price, most of them spent half a day working for the monastery, and the other half a day listening to the priests' lectures. Of course, there will be a lot of private goods in this knowledge. To use a more earthly modern term, it is placement marketing. As soon as you talk about it, just praise it, how great the true God is, and so on.
When you are successful in learning, or you think you have achieved enough, you can leave the monastery freely, and no one will stop you. And most people who leave, even if they don't believe in that god, will remember the favor they received. This is also the reason why the church is closer to secular society than magicians and is warned by the nobles.
Lin Hui thought of these two facilities. The most important thing was that he hoped to have a place where large-scale lectures could be given. This was something Midi had never done before. The most important thing is that during the time when the forum first started to spread, almost every magician I met would ask the same question. Forget it once or twice, but when the number of times increases and the same questions and answers are repeated over and over again, someone will go crazy no matter how good-tempered they are.
