Chapter 102: consideration and entanglement
"It's that simple, just drop it all."
With his back turned to a certain lich, Lin couldn't see the playful smile. But that doesn't stop him from making big decisions. It seems to be explaining his intentions, more like convincing himself. Lin Yuan looked at the blue sky and said, "Everything has a price, and nothing can be reaped without effort. Then the question arises, how much price do I have to pay to keep the ownership of the tower and save my life?"
Without waiting for others to answer, Lin Jing said: "All I can think of is surrendering to the invading demons. But the price of doing that is losing the freedom in the future. And in the days of surrendering to the demons, what? It is unpredictable when the tower is taken away, or the life is taken away. In other words, doing so is just delaying the threat of losing everything."
Finally turning around, Lin Zheng 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 your life, which is not unacceptable."
Fen looked at the man who spoke with great interest but was full of resignation, and said, "I never thought about showing a tough attitude, and I want that group of magician coalition forces you mentioned to stand on the front line to block the demon army." Or else just turn your eyes and stare twice, the tower of the great sage will not make any resistance, and let the devil drive straight in, to harm the hinterland of mankind."
"If both sides have this kind of thinking, they will just sell their teammates first and then suffer, and no one will please. And I am not that kind of person, I can't say that kind of words. I don't have enough interests to drive others, Just don’t expect to do it wholeheartedly, not to mention that this is a battlefield where you will fight with your life. If it is in the history of my hometown, even if you capture a soldier as a head and pull out an army of millions, you must have a loyal army. The core force. Whether it’s your own people who can’t cut their strength, or as the main force against the enemy, they can shock all unreasonable thoughts. What do I have? I’m alone, let’s barely count the two dogs. No need for others to fight Turning against the water, just avoiding and not fighting, I have to expose a magic tower to the eyes of the demons. Then everything returns to the original, and I fight against the demon army with the power of one tower."
"That." Fen deliberately drew a long tone, pressed her finger on the tip of her nose, and said, "Did you think about me?"
"You? I really don't have one." Someone's straightforwardness made Fen unconvinced. Lin had no choice but to comfort and said: "Don't be angry, I don't mean to look down on you. It's just that if you are alone, I don't doubt that you can defeat the invading demons, but there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net, and there is no way to do everything. It's unreasonable to put the hope of a war on you alone. The so-called one hero and three gangs, no matter how much you can fight alone, you have to have a group of younger brothers to help you clean up some miscellaneous fish. Otherwise, your combat power is specialized Hit some minions, but let go of the more deadly opponents, it’s okay for others to suffer, but the fear is that I will be hurt, so it’s not wronged.”
"Don't take a gamble? It's not that there is no chance of winning."
"If you say that yourself, it means that you also admit that there are other possibilities. You are betting on your own life. Isn't this kind of bet too big? I don't insist on a 100% success rate in doing things, but The risk of this matter is obviously greater than the possibility of success. I dare not bet on this."
"Aren't you confident in the magic tower that you modified yourself? Didn't you repel a few waves of enemies?"
"I really don't have this. What's more, those mobs, what's there to be proud of winning? In the history of my hometown, that is, the level of the county's fire merger, can it be regarded as the same level as the subsequent abyss invasion? Being able to defeat human aristocrats, the allied army with vampires may not be able to resist the endless invading army of demons. If the behavior of the demons is exactly the same as mentioned in history. From this point of view, Handing over the magic tower is tantamount to using other people's lives to verify such a transformation. Is there any way to resist the invasion from another world. Isn't it worth it? No! It's worth it."
Lin became more and more excited as he talked. In the end, as if I was convinced, I said loudly: "That's right! That's it, I gamble with other people's lives. No matter whether I win or lose, I only pay for a magic tower, and others have to pay for it." Life."
Looking at the confident man's face, Fern was a little curious, and asked, "You really don't care at all?"
With a fluttering question, Lin, who was in a state of excitement, turned around, and slapped the astronomical telescope tube beside him very smoothly and angrily. Fortunately, the tripod and the overall structure are long-term fixed designs, which are extremely stable, and there is no magic on Lin. This shot didn't ruin the key to finding the way home.
With such an action, even Lin himself was startled. He quickly stroked the binoculars, and comforted a dead object with a voice like a baby.
Although she has been sealed for thousands of years, Fen has been alive for hundreds of years. How can she not see that someone has lost her position. There is no complaint, it is a lie.
It's just that, just as Lin said, with her own strength, she is indeed not sure that she can cover everything. As for the three other than him, it seemed that they didn't even have the ability to protect themselves in the face of the demon army. As for the magic tower or something, in her time, no one would rely on fixed buildings. The only thing you can trust is your own strength. And right now, there is indeed a need for something good.
So after thinking for a while, Fern interrupted someone who was muttering, and said: "I think the improvement of the four guns will come to an end, and complete it according to the second plan. If there is a chance in the future, restart the research." .”
"The second plan? Oh, okay." Lin was stunned for a moment when he just came back to his senses, and then remembered what the second plan of the transformation plan that was originally discussed was.
Remove the way of being powered by magic stone or other means, and instead only absorb the holder's mana power to convert into attack energy. And the extra space is enough to arrange the lines of the magic circle that cannot be completely miniaturized and simplified. Increase the energy conversion efficiency to nearly 40%.
With just such a change, the four guns can be said to be the exclusive weapons of a certain former devil king. Except for her, who has accumulated unimaginable mana and power, other ordinary magicians can't fire a few shots at all with this weapon. Even if the gun is fired, it may not have the energy to cast magic.
Anyway, these four guns were originally made for this former devil king. She has the final say on how to change it, and Lin doesn't want to add 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 do the final modification and adjustment.
At dinner time, Lin invited the people headed by Chuck Weiss and the Great Mage Greenwyn to eat in the magic tower. But in the end, only the Chengguo President Eaton's student chief and the inspector who was an old acquaintance came.
Well, it seems that the remaining dishes after the meal are cheaper than Gray Hoof and White Nose.
As a member of the Tower of the Great Sage, Fern also attended it. 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 passed her news back to their respective forces. After all, after being resurrected from a certain lich, Lin did not deliberately conceal it, nor did she herself hide her whereabouts. There are always some guests who come to the door and see her figure, but they don't know her origin.
During the meal time, there is no discussion of business affairs in the lost etiquette, and it is just gossip. For the tower owner who had made up his mind, his mentality was as if he was going all out. During the banquet, cold jokes were repeated, which made everyone embarrassed. Even the two young apprentices who were serving at the side cast contemptuous glances, but I didn't realize it.
It is a certain Lich, perhaps the road to revenge a thousand years ago was too depressing, and being sealed for a thousand years is no entertainment at all. For these cold jokes, she was very supportive. Although he didn't laugh out loud, his eyes flicked from time to time and the corners of his mouth curled up, showing an expression of interest. This can make some people more excited, and others suffer.
Fortunately, everyone is not a big-bellied man, let alone aristocrats. All kinds of cumbersome etiquette make people wonder whether they are eating or acting. After a meal, the two girls cleaned up, and after tea was served, it was time to talk about business.
During the meal time, Lin saw the uneasy expressions of the two guests~www.readwn.com~ so he tried to tell some jokes to ease the atmosphere. Although in terms of results, except for the former Demon King, it was quite a failure for others. So when we started to discuss the business, Lin said directly: "Basically, I accept the president's proposal. I am willing to hand over the Tower of the Great Sage."
Youfen communicated with the two young apprentices in advance, so they could understand their teacher's thoughts. Of course, given their current situation, they are not qualified to offer any opinions. As for the two guests sitting opposite, they were calm on the surface, but they were relieved in their hearts, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although speaking in such a tone, there must be caveats in the future, but at least there is something to talk about, without going to the worst situation.
As the person in charge of this trip, Chuck Weiss nodded and said: "Your Excellency is so sensible, it is really a blessing for 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 recovered The ownership of the tower is also for better scheduling and commanding the battle. Since the tower owner is willing to obey the instructions of the association, I don't know if there is any cooperation between us, and the association will definitely do its best."
The meaning of this sentence is to make people raise conditions. After all, to take back the magic tower from a tower owner, of course the Magicians Association has such power, and there are precedents to follow, but it cannot be free. It is of course the most ideal situation to be able to get back the ownership of the tower through a transaction.
If you don't want to pay any benefits, the only result is that the tower owner will fight to the death. If the matter really develops to this stage, then it is not a matter of 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 didn't intend to be polite, so he prepared to put forward his own conditions.
