Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 9: Ombudsman



Every energy pool, no matter what the basic principle of its construction, is nothing more than communicating with different planes, or hiding some kind of great power, and then slowly extracting it, releasing eight kinds of powers that contain a large number of chaotic powers. Then connect the magic array through the energy channel, and after the conversion of the magic array, it becomes an orderly and quantitative arrangement of powers, thus producing corresponding effects.

As long as the energy consumed in an instant doesn't drain the energy pool and disrupt its balance, the energy pool can restore its total limit bound to the main plane over time. This is why each energy pool can theoretically operate semi-permanently.

And as long as the energy pool is constructed, it will leave a mark on the main world, perhaps a series of complex power codes, or meaningless text arrangements. Magicians can rely on this mark to do some simple message transmission. Such transmission of information is real-time, but also costly.

If it wasn't for other tower owners with energy pools and knowing the mark of the target tower, the communication between magicians would still be based on letters. The only exception is the association responsible for managing magicians and magic towers. They often use this method of message transmission. On the one hand, it is for timeliness, and on the other hand, it also highlights the importance of the message.

What does it sound like? Knowing a certain IP, I went to the message board of his home to leave a message. This was Lin's first thought when he heard this function.

In fact, the time spent studying and researching magic for more than ten years is learning how to use spiritual power or other media as a guide to arrange and combine eight kinds of powers to cast magic. Leaving aside the factors of mental power and medium, arranging and combining that part is similar to writing computer programs on Earth.

The difference is that the basic elements of the computer software on the earth are 2 bits of 0 and 1, but after coming to the world of Lost Earth, it is based on eight kinds of powers, that is to say, it starts with 8 bits. Regarding this point, Lin has a deep understanding in the years of studying magic; when he came to the magic tower and saw this super huge circuit board, he was almost convinced of the feasibility.

In the following days, Lin drew the star map mainly at night, and it is also because of the night that the stars can be observed. During the daytime, apart from taking the time to guide the magic process of the two apprentices, he was focusing on the computerized programming of the magic tower.

But wanting to computerize the Magic Tower is not about making games, revisiting the old dream of Super Mario, or the pleasure of mowing the lawn of Dynasty Warriors. Knowing that Lin's work at night involves drawing star maps, it is inevitable to do astrophysical calculations.

The amount of calculation is huge and complicated. Without the assistance of a computer, the dream of going home is like a bubble, gorgeous and untouchable. If the computerization of the Magic Tower can be realized to the extent I imagined, then maybe, just maybe, there is a slight possibility of returning to Earth.

But all these beautiful dreams must first deal with the next trouble, the inspector team from the Magicians Association.

A five-member combat team with at least one great magician is responsible for investigating the illegal activities or criminal evidence of the magicians. It has the power to arrest and suspend the authority of magicians, and they can be killed on the spot if they are dissatisfied. It can be said that the policeman among the magicians doubles as a judge.

The legal trials in the Lost World cannot be called primitive, and the various legal provisions and culpability are quite clear, but the evidence collection is still unflattering. And this squad of inspectors should be the village's last resort. Lin thought to himself, and at the same time deduced the general routine of the other party.

Given that prophecy-type spells, or summoning the soul of the dead with enough clarity to explain everything, are not many magicians who are good at this kind of magic, and the cost is quite high, so these methods cannot become routine methods.

To establish a crime, there is no doubt that witnesses and physical evidence are required. When the whole village testified together, the magician who was the owner of the tower entered the village and slaughtered the villagers, and the physical evidence was dozens of corpses hanging outside the tower.

In terms of the situation in the Lost World, Lin's punishment is almost certain. All that was left was to ask the person concerned if he had any excuses, then strip him of his tower master status and bring him back to the association's court for trial. Or solve it on the spot and take the head back to pay the order.

If the person concerned is wronged and is willing to pay the price to hire a magician who can predict types or summon souls to prove his innocence, then the group of people who falsely accused them will be retaliated by the supervisor in turn. charges. However, it is obvious that the magician who used to be the tower master of the Tower of the Great Sage did not have such financial resources, and neither does Lin today.

However, Lin didn't just sit still, because the requirements of the inspectors were only to provide sufficient and strong evidence, and it was not necessary to use any method to achieve this goal. Then, for a youth of the 21st century on Earth who has traveled through time, there are quite a lot of means, and they have been prepared for a long time. Whoever called his own father a lawyer had to know how to protect himself if he didn't take advantage of legal loopholes.

While waiting, on a quiet programming afternoon, Hallomi, who was supposed to be practicing magic in the research room, hurried into the core room and said, "Teacher, teacher, a guest is here."

Flick the trackball on the right side of the console, and the mirror of the energy pool is replaced by the perspective outside the tower. No one was seen, but there was smoke from two fireworks in the sky not far away, the first was red, white and blue smoke, and the second was yellow smoke.

Some groups with special identities will use this method to inform others of their arrival. The first three-color smoke represents the branch of the Magician Association to which Lin belongs; the second smoke represents the identity of the inspector. So it's obvious who's coming.

After saving and closing the half-written program, Lin ordered the apprentice beside him: "Go and inform Kaya, let's go to the first floor to welcome the guests together."

The door of the magic tower was opened, and five magicians were soon ushered in. Three of them had two gold tassels embroidered on their robes, telling their identities as great magicians. Everyone who entered the door, without exception, had magical auras of various colors all over their bodies, which meant that everyone would apply all available defensive methods and auxiliary magic to themselves. The weapons are also placed in the right position and can be taken out at any time. One of them didn't carry a staff, sword, etc. Instead, his ten fingers were covered with mist of different colors.

This group of skilled magicians is very clear about the meaning of walking into the magic tower controlled by others. Naturally, he would not be unprepared and naively think that the reputation of the supervisor alone can scare a magician who can become the tower master into tears. If there is a real fight, it is expected that their side will lose a few men, but they are also confident that they will be able to kill the tower owner here.

However, the three masters and apprentices who stood on the first floor to welcome them dispelled the doubts of the inspectors, because this represented the goodwill from the master of the magic tower.

For them, going through many traps and going up to the third floor, and then killing the magician who leaned on the energy pool and cast almost infinite spells, is completely different from killing a magician within sight. Being willing to expose the real body means that the other party has no plans to fight.

But the inspectors still did not relax their vigilance. The leader, a great mage with a body full of tendons, said: "Your Excellency, I believe that the previous message has informed us of our purpose. Please cooperate."

"Of course, my lords, please follow me to the core room. I will show the video as evidence."

Seeing that the five inspectors nodded in approval, Lin said: "Please." He led the two apprentices up the stairs first.

When he came to the core room on the third floor, Lin went to the console and started to operate. He didn't care about the inspectors standing behind him in a faint encirclement formation. It is not uncommon for the tower master to kill the intruder in one fell swoop after relaxing his vigilance. So Lin didn't care about whether the other party was rude or not. I just explained what I was going to do to avoid misunderstanding.

The two apprentices retreated to the side and waited. In front of a group of official magicians and great magicians, they were not even qualified to speak. And Lin is proficiently operating the results of these few days of programming, UU reading www.uukanshu. com The light and shadow small screen that appeared in front of the console was simultaneously displayed on the mirror energy pool.

Making its debut in front of outsiders, the first web browser of the lost world opened. Although there are only the function buttons and URL bar on the top, the bottom content is blank, there is no search engine page, and there is no home page of any portal website.

In fact, in just over ten days, after completing the communication protocol and setting up the domain name server and web server, Lin felt that he had performed exceptionally well. The rest of the time is to make an extra forum website. Speaking of it, the characters in the Lost World belong to the phonetic alphabet, which is much easier to restore the software and programs on Earth that were mainly built by Westerners. Many concepts can be applied directly without thinking about how to convert them.

When a short text is entered in the address bar, the page immediately imports the only completed website. The title is the big word 'Forum', and the functions in the upper right corner are simply four: registration, login, search, and explanation. There are two discussion areas below, namely 'Tower of the Great Sage' and 'Miscellaneous'.

Directly touch the light curtain in front of the console with your finger, enter the "Miscellaneous" discussion area, and then click on the only discussion thread: "The whole story of the villagers attacking the Tower of the Great Sage", there are two video files in it. The film is divided into nine grids, eight pictures are inside the Tower of the Great Sage, and one is outside the gate facing the tower.

The first video is the first wave of three village representatives, from entering the Tower of the Great Sage, to uttering evil words in the core room, and then being shot to death. In the second video, the villagers walked out of the forest holding torches at night, and were locked on the first floor of the magic tower, paralyzed by an electric shock until the poisonous fog filled the air. Then there was a long time until the early morning, when Lin came forward to purify the air and make up the knife. Audio is included throughout, but no subtitles.
