Early in the morning, the bells in Wulian City rang continuously.
According to the custom of Midi, this is the death of the most important person in a city, announcing the actions of the whole city.
Such bells ringing in Wulian City only mean that the old president, Chengguo Eaton, has passed away.
Some people feel sad, some feel lucky, and some people have mixed feelings. To the magicians who were keen on power, the old president was like a giant, suppressing all ambitious people. But it is undeniable that he also brought the best era to the Xijia District Branch of the Magician Association.
Especially in the last few years, forums have flourished and related things have emerged in endlessly. Those who cannot keep up with the times will eventually be eliminated. But Masters are people who are at the forefront of the times, so there are no outdated and pedantic ideas to slow them down.
Of course, the creator of the forum is not the president. But as soon as something new comes out, he leads the entire branch to keep up with the pioneering pace. Even those who hate the old president admire his courage and vision. So at Chengguo Eaton's funeral, almost all the magicians from Wulian City arrived.
When the president passes away, the association will of course have certain rituals and procedures, but it does not force all magicians to attend.
Those respectable masters, whether they do it from the bottom of their hearts or not, they will definitely get there. Making a gesture and showing a little respect would have some advantages in carving up the power behind the president.
As for ordinary magicians, it depends on their respective attitudes. There was also a situation where there were more escorts than guests at the funeral of a certain president. But at Chengguo Eaton's funeral, almost all the magicians who stayed in or around Wulian City came, and Lin was among the crowd.
Many of the old president's policies are of real help to the magicians at the bottom. In particular, many people have received help since their apprenticeship and have become official magicians through this help. This kind of kindness is like reincarnation. Maybe these people can't repay this kindness, but it's not difficult to see the president off for the last time.
But after all, he is a magician, and no one wants to be desecrated by undead magic after death, so there will be some necessary rituals to ensure the rest of the soul after death. These are so solemn and solemn under the management of the association.
Lin among the crowd, not to mention Earth, this was the second funeral he attended after arriving in Lost Land. The previous time was his teacher, Charlie Richard, who was nicknamed 'The Holy Mother' during his lifetime. His funeral was much simpler, without so much red tape, and the number of attendees was not as big as it was in front of him. They were just nominal apprentices who had been helped by him, and they were not all present.
Some people were out of town and didn’t have much information at the time, so they didn’t know they had to rush back to participate. Some unsympathetic people feel resentful because they think they have not received much help, and even talk about coming back to attend the funeral.
The scale of this second funeral was beyond Lin's imagination, and it made him get to know the old man again with whom he had interacted many times. Speaking of which, it is inevitable to miss the bad taste of those old people at this time.
Just looking at Shurion holding the president's widow, Lin had a feeling that life would continue to be difficult. That person's malicious intentions are becoming less and less concealed, and he only has to show off his intentions, point his nose in his nose, and say things like, "I just want to mess with you."
But honestly, it was also a turnaround. After the old president passes away, the power of the Xijia District branch will definitely be reshuffled. Lin couldn't help but wonder if there was anything he could do in this.
On the other hand, the great magician standing beside him, Juan Javier, took Lin seriously and commented on the female magicians who came here in mourning clothes. After all, not all magicians like to attend ordinary social occasions. So for Juan, there were indeed many new faces at Orange Eaton's funeral.
However, he would pull someone because of the rumored incident, which made Juan want to help this person who could still be called a friend change his mood.
But most of Lin's attention, unlike Juan's, was on the female magicians who rarely went out. Although he was also looking around, he was looking for another figure, a figure who did not come back last night.
I thought she would be by the side of the King of Zlin Kingdom, Steiner III. Indeed, behind the king, I saw a man wearing a well-tailored suit and trousers, but with distinctive feminine features and a heroic appearance. Although he didn't use magic or go forward to confirm, Lin knew that the person was not the person he was looking for.
I had no choice but to stand in the crowd, looking left and right, trying to find the figure of that person in the vast sea of people.
However, the two girls standing behind Lin pushed up their glasses. This pair of glasses has similar functions to the ones used by my teacher. But it was not made by the teacher, but by my sister as a gift to the two of them.
Except that they don't need to hide the abnormality of their pupils, all other functions are available. So they secretly opened the window of the instant messaging software, placed their hands beside their sides, and typed a few lines quietly.
'Sister, where are you? The teacher is looking for you. '
'Find me? Where are you? '
'We are here at the president's funeral. Didn't you come? '
'Oh, that old boy is dead. He didn't ask me to resurrect him. I wanted to see what a piece of meat that couldn't move did. '
'...Well, where are you? '
'I'm busy at home. What, your teacher is complaining? '
'No, he's just looking around. '
'Okay, it's okay. I keep busy. Let me know if there is any news. '
'Okay, sister-in-law. '
Sitting comfortably at home in the community with his legs crossed, the lich in the coffin room browsed through a large section of program source code.
During this time when she was not at home, apart from spending the night with some men, she was looking for magic she had never seen before throughout the Five Links City. Private inheritance, half-finished products in research, or magical notes accidentally obtained. The purpose, of course, is to solve the difficult problem of how to cross the ultra-long distance of astronomical units.
Returning someone to their home on Earth is an unsolved problem for her. Fin was simply interested in solving the problem, not really wanting to send someone back. Compared with this kind of difficult problem that you don’t know the answer to, when writing some software programs, as long as you understand the demand side, it is only a matter of time before you type out the program code. To her, it wasn't as interesting as the former.
But in the past magic research, who would think about how to throw yourself to another star. So Fen's search is not so much about finding an answer as it is about finding inspiration.
However, I found that the fragmentary knowledge scattered among the people was not helpful at all. Most importantly, there is no efficiency at all. So Fen set his sights on the place in Wulian City where the most magic knowledge is stored, which is the South Tower.
If you follow the formal approach and want to find magic that can exert a certain effect, you have to search from the directory in the South Tower. Only the name of the magic and some relatively brief and representative comments will be recorded there. Magicians who want to learn new knowledge can only gamble their luck based on this public information.
Therefore, most people rely on word of mouth to tell them which magic is more suitable for doing. Then study.
Sneaking into the library in the South Tower to find the information you want is one way to do it. But what is this place? The interior of a magic tower. Even if there is no video surveillance, it is not a place where people can come and go.
Fen was confident that he could come and go freely, but that method would make it impossible to search for information in books. For his own purposes, it was a meaningless act.
So she decided to follow the third method to solve the problem of collecting knowledge.
That is the 'hacking method' that has never been seen in the world of Lost World.
The Magicians Association in Xijia District has established a forum belonging to the district branch itself. All applications and discussions related to the association must be resolved from that exclusive forum. This of course also includes the exchange of magical knowledge, or directly selling it.
As for the magical knowledge of the South Tower, the establishment of the database was completed as early as the year before last. This means that rather than risking your money and wallet by searching for physical books, it’s better to start in the forums. The method is to confuse this world, and even the concept of network intrusion has never been seen before.
Someone once mentioned security issues in a casual chat, including network security and program security. If there are knowledgeable people who do not use it improperly, it will cause more or less losses. As for how to prevent these practices, Lin actually said a lot.
But Fen was very curious at that time and asked: "You know you have so much to say, but why don't you take the safety measures you mentioned in actual application?"
I remember that someone didn't answer this question at that time, he just smiled, and smiled obscenely. Now Fen understands that it is not that someone cannot do a safe design, but that he does not want to do it. The natural result is to leave yourself with an open back door. Of course, it's also possible that it's laziness that's causing the problem, and it's just digging holes.
Following the path, Fen successfully hacked into the South Tower's database and obtained the highest authority. All magical knowledge was exposed to her eyes at no cost.
Using the small program that was originally written, all the magic databases of the Xijia District Chapter were downloaded into the first coffin. Fen carefully cleared away the traces he left before exiting the branch's forum screen.
Fen felt inexplicably excited about this hacking behavior that was the first to be seen in this land, and even wanted to tell the world what he had done. But when a thief wants to show off something stupid, he has no interest in doing it. She just followed the advice someone once gave and restored everything to its original state, as if she had never been there.
The reason for doing this is, of course, that you don't want to attract other people's attention and get into trouble, or cause the other party to notice the security problem and try to upgrade the program to fill the loopholes.
As for the downloaded magic knowledge, which amounted to over 10,000, Fen did not stupidly read through it one by one. Instead, use text prospecting to filter some keywords first, reduce the number of targets, and then take your time.
