In the end, everyone still followed the path on the left. →???八++++八**书^^≥ And it didn’t take long. If we hadn't argued about it for more than thirty minutes before, there would have been no result. Now you can just throw a coin and continue walking, which is undoubtedly a big improvement.
He took out a very simple map, which was the result of a transaction with the orc mercenary group when he was in the dwarf fortress. The mercenary group seems to want to enter the southwest peninsula to find opportunities to make money. They are unfamiliar with the place, and of course they hope to find a way.
Lin directly traded with them a browser using a red magic stone as a carrier. The rich content shocked them. Especially the lynx woman who is responsible for external relations. When she saw the public map on lùntán, not only did the hair on her ears and tail stand upright, but her eyes also turned into vertical pupils, and her whole body froze for a while. .
Maps are strategic items in Lost Lands. Many guides of caravans and mercenary groups only dare to keep the relevant information in their minds and do not dare to put it down on paper easily. If an ordinary person carries a map with him, he is likely to be regarded as a spy by the local noble lord and executed.
Or it's just a simple diagram with a few lines, only roughly marking the direction and the name of the town, and no redundant information is recorded at all. What Lin got from the orcs was such a map.
But the public map on lùntán was just for an inconspicuous thing at first. Let’s talk about the Adventurer’s Guild and the Mercenary Guild first. In order to allow their respective members to obtain job opportunities and bounties in various places faster, the two have their own public channels on lùntán.
Since it is lùntán, of course some people will raise questions, maybe about the content of the work, maybe about the remuneration - because it is not necessarily all paid in money, sometimes there are also items or labor conditions as remuneration. But the question most people ask is 'Where is such-and-such a place? '
After all, before lùntán, most adventurers and mercenary groups only accepted missions in areas they were familiar with. Leaving your familiar comfort zone is a challenge. What they fear most is leaving without any better opportunities to make money, just like what these orcs are worried about now.
With lùntán, there are money-making tasks all over the southwest. So the question is, where is the mission?
At first, someone selflessly disclosed a small part of their map that was very crude and considered insignificant. Then everyone disclosed a small part of the map that they knew and did not affect the overall situation.
When enough people reveal a small part of themselves, things get out of hand. A map of the entire southwest that is more detailed than any country, four districts’ magician associations, and any magic tower owner has become public information on lùntán.
For novices, lùntán is not difficult to operate. ∈八∈八∈Read∈Book, .≦.o≧Especially those who plan to develop to the southwest peninsula. The adventurer guild and mercenary guild information and map information disclosed above are very important to the orcs. So they pooled some money together and bought a few more browser magic stones. As soon as the orcs opened their mouths, the dwarves realized the identity of the people in front of them.
For the dwarves living on the border of the southwest peninsula, it can be said to be a browser desert. I know that this thing is very useful, but when the caravans come to the Dwarf Fortress, most of the browser magic stone products they have are sold out on the way. The few stones the dwarves have now are all entrusted to the caravan members they have befriended to sell them for their own use.
In this southwestern peninsula where magicians are more powerful than most countries, those who have the ability to copy the magic stone program cannot afford to offend the association. People who are so small that the Magician's Association won't even care about them have no ability to copy the program. Now that the creator himself is here, the dwarves are moving out boxes after boxes of magic stones.
It can be said that I stayed in the dwarf fortress for a few more days to digest the magic stones that the dwarves brought out...
Looking at the simple map in his hand, Lin couldn't help but think of what happened in the dwarf fortress before. Maybe the last money made from the browser will be with those dwarves. If you want to make money like this again, there will be no conditions.
After all, the popularity of browsers in Southwest China also had a gestation period. It would be impossible to recreate such a scene elsewhere without staying in business. But Lin doesn't want to tie himself to anything anymore...well, at least not at this stage.
Sighing for a moment, he turned his attention back to the map.
Anyone who has ever used a map to find their way must have faced the question, 'Where are you?' '
In the 21st century Earth, gPs can still lead people astray and lead them to strange places, let alone a map like this with only a few lines.
When Lin first got this map, he saw apologies on the faces of the orcs. After all, there is a huge gap between it and lùntán, which is so detailed that it can be used as a strategic map only by the deployment of troops in various places.
This kind of map requires either luck to reach the destination, or a guide who is familiar with the nearby terrain to understand it.
And these days, Lin of course has thought of a solution. Although he said that he was wandering aimlessly, it didn't mean that he didn't even want to know where he went.
Regarding such a topic, not only Lin is thinking about it, but also Fen and the two apprentices who have just started using P language. Everyone is thinking about it.
However, the three lost land natives were limited by their knowledge and could not come up with any good ideas. A certain time traveler wanted to directly launch a satellite into the sky, but unfortunately this idea was even more unreliable than the natives thought. In the end, Kaya took off the warning device installed in the corner of the truck and brought it to her teacher, which was barely an answer.
As for why the girl acted like this, Lin could understand. Because the earliest and most detailed map he had was a scan of the entire area after he established the Arcane Eye in the Tower of the Great Sage.
With the Magic Tower as the center and a radius of about two hundred kilometers, all geographical information was recorded in detail. This includes information such as the outlines of all man-made structures, terrain height, river bed depth, etc.
That was the most detailed geographical information Lin had before the public map on lùntán was fully formed. The reason why we can master it so thoroughly has of course something to do with the advancement of personal astronomical observation technology.
Before applying technologies such as ranging and surveying to outer space, of course you must first scan the place where you live. In addition to the accuracy of the experiment, I also used this scan to see if there is anything around me that I should pay attention to.
As expected, there are indeed some places that cannot be observed by the arcane eye. Most of those places are where the churches of gods are located. And it is not an ordinary church, but a regional faith center.
He didn't think about provoking the gods, so Lin didn't think about how to get rid of the fog that the arcane eye couldn't see through. In addition, indoor areas covered by buildings are not within the observation range of the Arcane Eyes.
Now worried about the map information, Kaya put the warning buzzer built with the Arcane Eye as its core in front of someone. Lin really wanted to say: It had such power in the first place because it was supported by an entire pool of magical energy. What warning signs are there now? There are only a few magic stones that cannot penetrate the Dharma Eyes.
But having a direction is better than not knowing what to do. In the past few days, Lin and the other three people have been discussing this issue.
Originally, the arcane eye on the warning device would only react to living creatures. Now we just need to add a few pieces of program code so that it can record the terrain while on alert. The more troublesome part is how to convert the recorded topography into information that can be used by the map and then store it. Moreover, as we continue to advance, we must continue to record, and constantly update and store the map information.
Another difficulty is that it is closely related to one of the inventions of my ancestors. How to determine the north of the map and your own north. The relevant principle is very simple, but you can't build a compass car to tow it around. So we have to think carefully about how to simplify this function, even integrate it into the map, or make it miniaturized.
The biggest problem with some simple methods of making compasses is that they quickly become demagnetized. Even iron materials with magical properties cannot remain magnetic for long.
The solution is for Fen to find the answer from a very obscure magic - Toto Pathfinding. After analyzing this magic, you will get a method to point in a specific direction of your location.
But... "How do you know this magic? Did you run to the South Tower yourself?" Named magic like Toto's Pathfinding was only created after Fen was sealed. The magic left over from before the Dark Ages are all classic models, with only the magic name and no creator's name. So Lin asked curiously.
"I heard that Nanta has completed the work of putting all the knowledge online, so I went to visit and download it." As he said this, Fen threw a compressed package into Lin's field of vision.
Looking at it further, someone was also speechless. This must have packed up the entire south tower of Wulian City. However, from the beginning, I didn’t put much effort into security and encryption. I just wanted to fish in troubled waters. Now he is packing all the knowledge from South Tower back to make up for the losses he suffered in Wulian City.
For the final experimental work, Lin Zheng captured the results of the test runs over the past few days. The map information stored in it is also combined with the southwest peninsula. Because there is an absolute reference point in Midi, in terms of direction and distance, Lin can guarantee that the map he took out is definitely the most accurate in Midi. of the map.
It's just that the detection range of this small arcane eye is too narrow, only a radius of about five hundred meters. Therefore, the opened map is like an amoeba extending a thin tentacle. And that irregular tentacle was exactly the path he had traveled these days.
This feeling is quite like playing a game that requires a map in the Earth era. As a slightly obsessive-compulsive person, I am always satisfied with the feeling of having the map fully open. Just switch to the real world, who has the life to really visit every place and open the fog on the map.
Lin will not consider anything that cannot be done. The reason why he wanted to call up the results of the observation was that even if the new part only had an outline, Lin wanted to check and see if there were any similarities or differences between the map drawn based on reality and the one obtained from the orcs. of.
After this comparison, Lin unexpectedly discovered that the sketch in his hand was not some worthless junk. At least part of the lines coincided with the road I mapped. So he spent a little more effort to embed the lines of the sketch and the marked locations of the towns into his own map.
It was also this kind of homework that let me know that if I go down this road, I can encounter a gathering place called 'Twilight Town'. However, there is a place next to it, marked as a skull—Twilight Castle.
When skulls appear on the map, they represent fatal danger in Lost Lands, but they are not a symbol that everything is possible. Lin had no way of asking why it was marked like this, and naturally had no way of knowing. Right now, we can only go to that town and find out the news.
Just, look at that skull. Why do I have the idea of turning back... 11
