The reply to the request for help came faster than expected. But the content was long and tedious, full of nonsense. The only useful thing was the last sentence, which was discussed with the others.
Lin believed that the Gate of the Abyss was about to open. Perhaps the Tower of the Great Sage was at the forefront, but it was impossible for the others to stay out of it alone. The only difference was whether they would suffer first or later.
In the past, in order to completely eliminate the disaster of the abyss invasion, defeating the demon army was secondary. The most important thing was to push back the Gate of the Abyss and completely close it. The process of closing the door was the most important. There had to be people on both sides of the door, closing one side and preventing the other side from opening the door.
In other words, the helpless thing was that in order to completely close this kind of formed Gate of the Abyss, it had to be completely opened first. And the person who was left on the other side of the Gate of the Abyss was jokingly called a sacrifice to the abyss.
Usually, this kind of person had to have the consciousness of sacrifice. Otherwise, before the communication between the two worlds was cut off, the person who was left on the other side rebelled and cooperated with the abyss residents to reopen the Gate of the Abyss, which was equivalent to the previous efforts being wasted.
All kinds of factors made the branch president, who received the news, very busy. From the president's point of view, he couldn't blame Gablash Tripwood. Because the Abyss invasion was really rare. By the time he recognized her, it was already too late. This was a very normal thing. If someone recognized it from the beginning, it would make people wonder where the person who recognized it got the relevant knowledge.
But on the forum, the other irrational people didn't think so. All kinds of blame, the implication was that they wanted to nail the master of the Tower of the Great Sage to the stake.
Yes, the news that the Gate of the Abyss was about to open spread on the forum faster than the president's email reply. In fact, for the spies lurking in the town, they might be indifferent to the development of the matter, but for the people behind them, it was too unreasonable not to give a warning.
It was better to prepare in advance than to take rushed defensive measures. And they knew that the Tower of the Great Sage was about to be finished. Then, in the following feast, if one wanted to take the biggest bite of the cake, it was inevitable that they would have to occupy a seat in advance.
Of course, he had come to the Great Sage Tower on his own and wanted to stand on the moral high ground and criticize the Tower Master. This kind of rash behavior was not desirable. They had to rely on the power behind them to come forward and negotiate, or even gather a large group of people and use their power to suppress others. Only then would they be able to reap the greatest benefits from such a major event.
In places that Lin could not see, all sorts of undercurrents and transactions were taking place. Many people used things that didn't belong to them to exchange for the benefits they wanted. As for the victim who had paid the price for all of this, he was still unaware. He was only quietly waiting for his guild leader's response.
Now that he knew that an unwelcome guest was about to show up, Lin was no longer in the mood to continue his magic studies. Now, all of his energy was focused on improving the defensive function of the tower. The most important thing was, of course, the application programs used in the various Magic Towers. They should be set up automatically to reduce the need for manual control. They should also improve various detection methods so that they could adapt to the guests from the Abyss. In short, he hoped to use the least amount of strength to maximize the effect of his attack.
And as the foundation for all of this, of course, was the programming language rewritten by Fen. A clearer grammar, a simpler style, and most importantly, a richer library. It was hard for Lin to imagine that this was completed by a native of the Lost Land in one or two months after obtaining the knowledge of programming language.
The preparations were carried out in an orderly manner. All kinds of programs had to be rewritten. With Fen's help, they were moving in a direction with more tricky and more complicated functions. The two girls began to prepare all kinds of strategic resources. Food was no longer a problem. The most expected consumption was the various bows and crossbows.
The two girls almost plunged into the casting room. It would be very troublesome to separate the weapons and armors left behind by the noble allied army. They were melted together in the fire and cast into arrow clusters. Together with the arrow shaft that was cut out using magic, the arrow shaft would be perfectly straight. Once the two were combined, a good arrow would be completed.
Just as they were preparing for war, the visit of a group of guests broke the tension before the war in the Tower of the Great Sage.
The president of the Sijia District branch of the Society of Sorcerers, the chief student of Orange Eaton, Chuck Weiss, together with the familiar face, the supervisor, who was also a great mage, Grimwin, led a group of mages to the entrance of the Tower of the Great Sage.
Just the Master Wizard Grimwin alone had been taken care of by him for a period of time, so Lin did not dare to be arrogant and personally went out to welcome them. In the eyes of a certain person, the Tower of the Great Sage was no different from the last time he saw it. The same oppressive feeling, the same incomprehensible feeling, and the same … troublesome.
Other than the Master Wizard Grimwin and Chuck Weiss, who was also a great mage, who entered the tower, because there were more people, the rest of the people set up a temporary repair area outside the tower. And the scale was quite large. It seemed like they were preparing to continue using it after the arrival of the main army.
Seeing this, Lin's heart was slightly relieved. But looking at his old acquaintance, the Master Wizard Grimwin, who had been frowning since he entered the door, it seemed that he was relieved too early.
Similarly, he entered the dining hall to entertain the guests. As the host, Lin, of course, invited the guests to sit down first. After the two disciples served them drinks to quench their thirst, they left first to continue preparing for the war. Fen stayed in the nuclear room to continue her previous homework. She was simply too lazy to interact with others and did not want to appear. It was not that a certain Tower Master did not want people to know about the existence of the former Demon King.
As the chief student of the old president, it seemed that he had thoroughly learned his straightforward style. After the guests and the host sat down, he went straight to the point and said, "Your Excellency, Tower Master. Regarding your request for help, everyone in the Society has already heard about it and basically agreed to form an alliance to help defend the Tower of the Great Sage. This news has also been passed on to the other three branches in the Southwest Peninsula. "
"That's really good news. Then when will the alliance arrive? I can also prepare to welcome the arrival of the main army. "
"Your Excellency, this is where the trouble lies. Although we have agreed to send troops, there is no consensus on how to deal with you. "
"Deal with me?" Lin was stunned when he heard this. After thinking it through, he said in a slightly sullen voice, "In this matter, I am the victim. Isn't it too much to deal with me? "
"Yes, my teacher also fought for your Excellency like this. But before the final decision is made, there is one thing that requires your Excellency's agreement. "
"Oh, everything can be discussed. Please say it, please say it. "
The straightforward personality from before was now a little hesitant. He looked at his companion beside him as if asking for help. Master Wizard Grimwin acted as if he did not see it. He deliberately turned his head to the side and desperately observed the patterns on the stone wall, pretending not to see it. After a long while, Chuck Weiss said, "In fact, teacher means that in order to prepare for the upcoming war, we will take over the Tower of the Great Sage."
Take over? For a moment, Lin did not understand. When he understood the meaning of the sentence just now, he made a bigger reaction than when he heard the word "deal with." He stood up, put his hands on the table, widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said with difficulty, "Is this temporary?"
"It's a pity, because we don't know how long this war between worlds will last, and the Tower of the Great Sage is located at the forefront. Teacher means that he wants to reclaim the magic tower. Return it to the jurisdiction of the Association. In this way, a lot of new arrangements will be implemented. Otherwise, using the Association's property to help a tower master will not get the majority of the people's approval, and this decision may even affect the situation of the alliance. "
Lin gritted his teeth as he listened. In fact, although the two people sitting opposite him were expressionless, they were also on tenterhooks. They were afraid of angering the tower master and forcing the other party to tear into his face. Although Grimwin knew the internal attack methods of the Tower of the Great Sage, he still could not think of a way to crack it, or a way to escape.
However, the two of them came here to talk about these things, but it had to be done. It was related to the next layout of the Sijia District. Whether it was to fight against the invasion of the Abyss, or even to look at the future, reclaiming the Tower of the Great Sage was a crucial link.
He relaxed his originally clenched fists, his teeth that were about to be crushed, and took a few deep breaths to calm his mood. Lin Cai said in what he thought was the calmest tone, "I'm sorry, both of you. This is a serious matter, I need time to think about it. "
"Of course, we can understand." Chuck Weiss relaxed, quietly got up at the same time as Grimwin, and said, "Then today's conversation is over. We still have to command the subordinates that came and prepare for the following teams. "With that said, they left. But it looked like they were fleeing, but someone was not in the mood to appreciate it.
Step by step, Lin slowly walked back to the nuclear room. Almost every step he took, his thoughts turned thousands of times.
When he went up to the third floor, he did not notice that Fen had left the console. She did not continue to write the program, but looked at the man upstairs. But Lin did not notice at all. He walked to the observatory and stared at the telescope that had accompanied him for a long time in the maze world.
He stroked the tube reluctantly and looked at the bright sky. The night sky full of stars seemed to be in front of his eyes.
The two fists hanging by his side naturally clenched and opened, as if they were narrating his thoughts back and forth several times. After finally making up his mind, he exhaled a long breath, full of helplessness.
"You've made your decision." Fen's voice came from behind. To the person who disturbed him, Lin cast a puzzled look.
Fen pointed behind him, where several monitoring screens were turned on in the core room. Among them was the dining room. She said, "Because I felt that you were emotional, I took the initiative to turn on the monitoring and sound. That's why I heard everything. "
"Yeah. It's not a secret anyway, I'll tell everyone sooner or later. "
"So, you've decided?"
"Yes. Let's go. "
