Chapter 7: power of life and death
"This is not possible. The spar powder and potion used for processing also cost money. How can I help you if I don't get paid. Why don't we discuss a cooperation plan that is good for everyone." Having said that, Lin is more It is a temptation, not the idea of forgiving the other party.
The three people on the opposite side didn't say much, so they drew their weapons and threatened: "I said, the previous cooperation method was very good, so we will follow the previous method."
Seeing that the one in the center even showed the demon-destroying dagger, Lin couldn't help being curious.
You're right, just curious. Lin stretched his neck and asked, "Excuse me, do you really understand what it means to be in the magician's tower?" What cards does the opponent have that makes him so confident? Lin thought about it seriously.
"What's the point! Over the past few decades, none of the mages who have come here to be the master of the tower have used this kind of cooperation. Do you agree or not!"
With a cold face, Lin Huo's anger slowly rose as he looked at the three who were abusing them. Just because he was a fat house before time travel doesn't mean that he is a **** who can't fight back when he is beaten or scolded. Thinking about the past rumors about the Tower of the Great Sage, perhaps the real situation is even worse than imagined.
Man is a creature of habit, but also a creature of forgetfulness. Knowing from the other party that in the past few decades, the previous tower owners have been eaten to death by the people in the village, and they take it for granted that the next magician must do the same to serve them.
As for forgetfulness, the reason is that no matter how important people's lives are in the Lost World, the upper-class people are not allowed to kill indiscriminately; no matter how powerful the civil forces are, there will always be people who hear about good and evil, and then act chivalrously. But the world of Midi is a world with distinct classes after all. There are nobles, royal families, and magicians who study all the knowledge in the world and master extraordinary force.
Where there is class, there is privilege. A king would not accept being pointed at by a beggar in the palace and cursed at by a beggar; princes and earls would not allow their citizens to criticize them in their castles; In the magic tower, he yelled at himself, the tower master.
Within the scope of being recognized as a private residence, the privileged class has the real power of life and death.
That is to say, even if the emperor of the five great empires in the world was killed by the tower owner in a certain magic tower, he would be killed, and the association would not send inspectors to judge whether the tower owner violated any laws or regulations. Of course, the empire can launch an army to retaliate, but that is only a private enmity, not a violation of public law.
Therefore, people in the Lost World are always cautious after entering other people's magic towers, for fear that they will die inexplicably if they offend the tower owner, and have nowhere to cry. This is why Lin believes that the village under the Tower of the Great Sage is so forgetful of the villagers.
Decades of habits have made them think that magicians are easy targets to be bullied. This is why they first hurt Hallumi, and now they invade the house to make trouble.
Hearing the countryman's incapable curses, Lin beat the ground impatiently with his cane. Such a contemptuous attitude of course caused dissatisfaction on the other side. Standing on the right, the more impulsive strong man wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the man in the middle holding the demon-breaking dagger.
The resentful expression flashed with sly eyes, the man may understand that formal magicians are not so easy to bully when they are prepared. And today, including myself, there are only three people, and the number seems a bit insufficient.
He said fiercely: "New here, I advise you not to be ignorant, you can't beat us. Give you a few more days to think about it, and come back to hear your answer in three days." After finishing speaking, he pulled his two companions ready to leave.
At this time, with a sound of "bang!", the door of the core room was closed, and the defense system of the entire tower was fully opened. The energy flowing on the bricks and stones formed strange and ominous lines, which was shocking to the eyes of the three villagers. One of them lost his composure and yelled at Lin: "You actually want to kill us, aren't you afraid..."
The cane was struck on the ground, and a drop of mercury shot out from the mirrored energy pool behind Lin, and immediately penetrated the speaker's forehead. There is only a small finger hole in the forehead, but a trumpet-like mouth is opened in the back of the head. This is magic modified from water archery, with the addition of a pivot, which produces an effect similar to that of a rifle bullet.
The other two were still in astonishment. The two girls hiding in the shadows on the left and right shot through the remaining two living people with their crossbows.
The magic arrows shot by military crossbows are no better than ordinary hunting bows. Ordinary people may run and jump after being hit by several arrows. Especially the crossbow modified by Lin, and being shot at such a short distance, the two crossbow arrows hit each other. The person who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground, and could only look in horror at the crossbow arrow head that pierced his chest from his side and pierced the iron breastplate.
As for the guy who got hit by the water bomb technique and had a big hole in his head, let alone say, he was dead.
With their mouths wide open and gasping for breath, the two were too frightened to speak, and looked at the approaching girl in panic. Seeing the two throwing down the crossbow neatly and drawing out the dagger, Lin felt guilty for a while.
On Earth, they are still in elementary school at an age, and they are ignorant, which is the period when they are easy to be tricked by the perverted uncle to see goldfish; but in the world of Lost Earth, they can wipe their necks without hesitation and put people to death.
Although the previous adventures were mainly aimed at Warcraft and uncivilized races. However, in some remote areas, many people who were farmers in the village and robbers outside the village had been killed. In this regard, Lin can only try his best to keep the two girls from being bloodthirsty. And this attitude of being indifferent to life and death is not only necessary for survival in the Lost World, but also the performance of a qualified magician.
"Teacher." With a cry, the man in emotion was called back to his soul. Kaya asked calmly: "How to deal with these three people?"
After thinking about it, Lin said, "Let's hang it outside the tower to dry."
Although it is said to do this, it is to warn some people with bad intentions. However, Lin reckons that given the **** nature of that village, it is more likely that it will be stimulated and lead to greater conflicts.
But there's no need to worry about these things. Just like the saying that I often heard before crossing: If you shave your head, you can’t do without washing it.
Only then did he warn the two apprentices that they must be vigilant at all times these days and not relax. In the middle of the night, there are uninvited guests visiting.
The light of dozens of torches pierced through the forest. In the monitoring screen presented by the mirror energy pool, there are men and women among the angry people. What he was carrying in his hand was not a good gift, but a shining weapon.
They have no discipline, no formation to speak of, and they don't see any matching tactics, they just swarm forward. But to their credit, at least this group of people still know how to keep their voices down and talk as little as possible. Although these behaviors are all in Lin's eyes.
The gate of the magic tower is closed at night. The structural outer wall of the tower has also been repaired long ago. Although it has not been restored to a complete cylindrical tower shape, there are no damaged holes for people to enter and exit.
A group of people tried their best to raise their heads, hoping to find a loophole to enter the tower, but only the three corpses swaying slightly in the cold wind caught the eye, which also added to the anger in their hearts.
A blood debt must be paid in blood.
The anger in people's hearts ushered in the highest point in an accident. A man who couldn't see any intrusion window angrily pushed the door of the magic tower impatiently, only to find that the careless tower owner hadn't locked the door. This unexpected joy convinced everyone that Lady Luck was on their side.
Lin, who was watching the monitor, curled his lips. If it weren't for the consideration that killing outside the tower and killing inside the tower were two different things, there was no need to sneakily unlock the gate of your house just now. In the picture, people who are convinced that they have the chance to win are excited as if they have won.
Gently pushed open the slit enough for one person to pass through, spying on the first floor of the magic tower at night. There were night lights on the corner walls and on the landing, and all was still. Everyone filed into the magic tower, and at the same time made the final preparations before the attack, leaving only one person guarding the door to prevent someone from attacking from behind.
This is the standard tactic for attacking uncivilized goblin groups—always be on guard for attacks from behind. However, if he wanted to use this method to attack the magic tower, Lin couldn't help but feel a little slanderous. Sure enough, it is a group of people who have forgotten how terrifying the owner's tower is.
After confirming that those guarding outside the tower would not enter the door, Lin touched the console with one hand. Looking at the rearranged interface similar to the touch panel keyboard before time travel, I feel nostalgic and familiar. Gently tap the first function button, and the trap routines that have been set are unfolded in sequence.
The partition between the first floor and the second floor was closed at the same time as the door of the magic tower. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was so quick that it caught people off guard, especially the dull sound made everyone understand that they had fallen into a trap.
All the lighting lights are on, presenting a clear public ecology in the monitoring screen. Some people cursed, some begged for mercy, some were at a loss, some hurriedly turned around and tried to open the gate of the magic tower.
In the next instant, six bolts of lightning shot out from six directions, wreaking havoc on the field. The power is not too great, there is no way to directly electrocute people to death or burn them into black, but it also paralyzes everyone for a short time.
Immediately afterwards came the Poison Mist Technique, and the goose-yellow gas began to permeate. When the entire floor is covered, it gradually spreads upwards. The poisonous mist technique Lin possesses is not very toxic, it just makes people have difficulty breathing and tears flow. As long as you immediately leave the range of the poisonous mist and blow on the wind, the effect will naturally dissipate. But only if there is a way to leave.
The entire first floor of the magic tower has become a confined space, and all intruders are paralyzed by electric shocks. Many people fell face down and fell to the ground. The pain of the impact almost made the paralyzed body jump up. Then the poisonous mist came, even though they knew they had to leave as soon as possible, but no one could move their bodies, they could only watch the goose yellow mist being sucked into the nasal cavity and lungs.
No matter how weak the poison is, accumulating enough doses can be fatal.
The general trend is set. Lin looked at the only person guarding outside the tower, and after giving up knocking on the gate of the magic tower, he fled back into the forest in a panic. He tousled Hallumi's hair again as a prank, and said, "Go to sleep first. I'll deal with the group of people on the first floor tomorrow morning. Hang it outside the tower to dry."
The apprentice who pouted, trying to express his dissatisfaction, fiddled with his fluffy blond hair angrily. On the contrary, Kaya quickly disarmed herself, returned to the only big bed in the core room, and fell asleep.
