Chapter 3: tower master
Following her teacher into the core room of the tower, Harumi looked around curiously. She has been staying at the Magician Academy, and she has never entered such an important place. Until today, her teacher was granted the duty of guardian and had her own magic tower. Only then did she have the opportunity to witness the extremely mysterious place in the mouths of ordinary people and apprentices.
But for Lin as a teacher, this is also the first time. Although he has already learned the knowledge of operating most of the functions, it is really the first time he has touched a real thing.
But before getting familiar with the various operations, there is one more important thing to do. Lin came to the console of the magic tower, pressed his right hand on the center position, the imprint on the back of his hand echoed the magic circle, floated in mid-air in front of him, and the upright mercury energy pool that was connected to the alien plane like a huge mirror began to fluctuate. Output wave after wave of energy to completely awaken everything in the magic tower. Now, the Tower of the Great Sage is truly awakened.
Put the special magic stone that I have prepared for a long time in the center of the console, the core of the magic circle, and the programming engraved in the magic stone quickly takes over all the functions of the tower.
The high-level magic tower has a tower spirit, just like the world before time travel, the so-called artificial intelligence butler. However, the Tower of the Great Sage, as a historic building with a thousand years of history, does not have such advanced technology. All the functions of the magic tower require careful operations and commands from the tower master.
And these thousand years have not passed by in vain. For similar situations, countless successors have invented countless technologies to allow magicians to inherit and master the magic tower faster and become the new tower owner. Lin referred to the technology left by his ancestors, as well as the data of the Tower of the Great Sage, combined with his knowledge before traveling, and made a set of the simplest programming to control the magic tower, just like writing a driver for computer hardware like that.
That’s right, as a doctor of both physics and astronomy before time travel, I wrote all the special computer programs that I needed to use, and I didn’t have a wife or son, so I could only rely on Ai (Xinqing) (Yunli) to make films for myself. It's a piece of cake to be a magic programmer in a different world for a sweaty fat house.
…
Throwing away the emotion of not knowing whether to be proud or frustrated, Lin enabled the temperature monitoring function inside the magic tower to make a technology similar to thermal imaging. With the three-dimensional view inside the tower, he quickly saw the uninvited guests still in the magic tower.
The body temperature of the newly dead goblin has not completely dissipated, so it clearly appears on the screen formed by the energy pool. However, compared with the living goblins, there are still obvious differences. It was on the east side of the first floor, a room with a damaged structure. Although it was difficult to get in and out during the observation, it didn't mean that it was impossible to hide there.
Three smaller hotspots, perhaps goblin hatchlings. Lin thought so. Judging from the number of this group, there are no female captives and no food reserves, and the situation observed before, they probably escaped from other places. It's a pity that most of the rooms are closed magic towers, which are not very good shelters.
"Halomi." Calling out to the girl who was still looking around curiously, Lin straightened his robe and said, "Go and help Kaya move things in. Next, we need to arrange the tower so that it can be used for people. busy."
"Yes, teacher." After the blond girl responded, she walked briskly to find her companion of similar age.
As for the remaining goblins, Lin decided to take care of them himself. On the one hand, the Magic Tower has just taken over, and there are many things that only I can do. Instruct the girl to deal with the remaining enemies. She has to climb through the narrow hole in the wall to enter the hiding room, and she just needs to open the door.
Turning on all the lights of the magic tower, Lin went downstairs and opened the door that was originally closed. The three goblins, who were neither newborn nor adult, hugged each other and hid shyly in the corner of the bright room.
Seeing someone coming, the most basic survival instinct of a creature made the three little goblins show expressions of fear and begging for mercy. It is undeniable that no matter how fierce and ugly a creature is, it is still quite cute in infancy. Lin smiled kindly, and then released a fireball, directly burning the cuddled dolls into ashes. Then there are other corpses to deal with, and loot to collect, not much time to deal with goblin infants.
It's not that magicians in this world can't fireballs, but the efficiency of throwing fireballs is no better than their own Buffer. However, when a single fireball can solve everything, and there will be no other battles in the future, a single fireball will still be much faster than adding a whole body of auxiliary magic, and then going up to fight melee. In a word: efficiency comes first.
Strip valuable items from dead goblins. The most valuable, perhaps, is the bone that glows with magical fluctuations. Lin Zai used the light object technique to gather all the corpses into the room specially used for casting utensils. With the complete recovery of the magic tower's energy pool, the furnace in the casting room also ignited a raging flame.
Throw all the dead goblins into the blue flame ignited with the purest magical energy. Almost the moment it came into contact with the flames, the corpse vaporized and disappeared, leaving no ashes. After tidying up everything, Lin used the imprint to control the fire to keep the fire at a minimum, so that it wouldn't be completely extinguished, and it didn't need to be fully fired.
Except for the casting room on the first floor, the dilapidated room where the little goblin used to hide is quite empty, but there are two holes on the floor that are quite conspicuous. It seems that it can be used as a warehouse.
There is also a room with several long tables and several large stoves built by the wall. It seems that it was converted into a restaurant and kitchen by an unknown tower owner before. Instead, there is a moving planet map on the wall, which clearly shows the status of the star system in this world.
The sun star is in the center, like the sun of the earth. The planet on which this world resides is in the fourth orbit and is called the Lost Earth. In addition, there are five planets, and a total of six planets make up this star system. The planetary map on the wall shows the current position of each planet. It is also the only real arrangement of the tower of the great sage that has been preserved since thousands of years ago. The rest of the original items had long been taken away, dismantled, or even sent to the Magician Association by the previous tower owner. This picture can be preserved only because the picture, mechanism and wall are integrated, and this wall is an important load-bearing component of the magic tower, which cannot be removed.
The last one is a few scattered weapon racks, and human-shaped wooden racks for armor. But there were only a few rusty iron gun heads with wooden handles standing on the rack.
Of the eight rooms on the second floor of the magic tower, one room on the east side completely disappeared, the left and right two were seriously damaged, and the two adjacent ones were also damaged, leaving only three intact.
One is a library without a collection of books. If the tower owner dies, the things here will be taken away by the people of the Magicians Association; or the tower owner voluntarily relinquishes the right to guard the tower and leaves, and most of the books here are brought by himself. Yes, so of course it will also be taken away.
The remaining two are meditation rooms with different functions, each with its own emphasis on magical power.
Two are damaged, and one can be seen to be used for living, but it is probably just a small dormitory provided by the previous tower owner for apprentices. The other looked like a research room, but it was nothing but a few crumbling cabinets and a couple of large decaying tables.
The two seriously damaged ones were used as balcony gardens, full of flowers and birds. However, it has not been tidied up for a long time, and now it is overgrown with vines and weeds. If you don't use a cane to sweep down those miscanthus that are about the height of a person, you can't see the place to stay.
There are three rooms on the third floor. The room on the east side was also damaged. It seems that the previous tower owner used it as a utility room. The core room is protected by special strength, so it is intact. The other intact one is the ceremony room, where all the summoning of creatures from different planes and the practice of destruction magic are done here. Therefore, the ceremony room is equipped with an enchantment, and the protection of the structure is comparable to that of the core room.
And the main activity range of the tower owner must be the highest level of the magic tower. Rest, sleep, eating and research are all handled in the core room. Most of the rooms on the lower floor are for apprentices, or for storing things that the tower owner will not use temporarily.
The topmost platform is equipped with the most important facility of each magic tower, an attack magic circle. Each tower is different, but this Tower of the Great Sage is equipped with a light bomb attack array, with an effective attack range of X ten days and a maximum attack range of XXX ten days. Switched to the earth unit, it can be understood in this way, the effective attack is 10 kilometers, and the maximum range is 30 kilometers.
All the magic towers in the Lost World, apart from providing residence and research for magicians, the most important task is to guard the area and limit the growth and disturbance of wild creatures, monsters, and uncivilized groups.

Therefore, in order to ensure that magicians have such awareness, although the magic tower can be privately owned, it is not allowed to be inherited. When the owner of the tower dies or leaves, the ownership of the tower is transferred to the association, and the association selects the next suitable candidate.
Of course, not everyone is willing to give up a powerful and expensive magic tower. More than five hundred years ago, a student of the Dhamma claimed the right to inherit the Tower of the Great Sage after his teacher passed away. So the association formed a coalition of multi-district divisions, and together they broke through the tower of the great sage, killing all the magicians and apprentices who tried to resist.
The huge hole on the second floor of the Tower of the Great Sage is the remains of the battle at that time. And the subsequent tower owners did not repair it. It's not to alert future generations, it's purely because magic materials are expensive.
Generally, after a certain period of time, the magic that acts on it will dissipate, and even cause the material itself to annihilate. Only magic materials can accept the permanent transformation of the plastic surgery, depicting the magic circle, and even with the blessing of energy, the degree of strength doubles.
Materials with such properties are of course not readily available, but rather rare. Scarcity means high price, how high is the price? The vast majority of magicians only earn and spend their entire lives, so they can probably afford to build only one floor, and those who know how to manage money can build up to the second floor. The standard for a magic tower is three to five floors, depending on the identity and energy level of the first tower owner.
That is to say, the owners of all the magic towers on the mainland today are mostly entrusted by the Magicians Association to inherit the existing magic towers. Or it was built with the savings of more than a hundred years by masters and apprentices who have passed on for several generations. Of course, assisting the construction of the magic tower with state-level financial resources is also the main source of the new tower.
