"I only have two conditions, that is, I will take away all my belongings. … "Just after he finished speaking, Lin saw the two opposite him frown slightly. Of course, he knew what the other party was apprehensive about, so he continued: "… But I will only take away things that have nothing to do with the Magic Tower's defensive measures. As long as they are part of the defensive system, I will keep them and hand them over to my successor. "
Such a guarantee undoubtedly satisfied Chuck Weiss and Grimwin. If the Tower of the Great Sage was demolished by the people who left, then the Association's garrison would have to spend extra time and money to make the tower's defensive fortifications work again.
The problem of money was easy to solve, but the troublesome problem was time. No one knew when the Abyss Gate would open. Although there were specialized people who made predictions in this regard, but they only got a general number. Whether it would open early or late, no one could guarantee.
After getting the Tower Master's approval, Chuck Weiss got up and saluted, saying: "According to the Chairman's arrangement, I will temporarily serve as the Tower of the Great Sage's Tower Master. When the war starts, it will depend on the situation. Maybe someone else will be arranged. "
"Well, no one can guarantee what will happen after that. It doesn't matter. In the days to come, I will do my best to teach Your Excellency the various functions of the Tower of the Great Sage as soon as possible. So that this pagoda can play the greatest role in the coming war. "
After exchanging some pleasantries, and after Lin promised to hand over the tower's defensive fortifications, Chuck Weiss sat back in his seat. After all, the Tower Master only stated one condition, and there was still another condition to deal with. He only hoped that it would be like the first condition, which wouldn't be so difficult.
Although his teacher authorized him to go on this trip, and he could agree to some of the less important conditions of the Tower Master. But this authority wasn't without limits, especially now that the Sijia District's branch had a major disagreement on how to deal with the Tower Master in front of him.
His reputation for incompetence was secondary, but if it implicated his teacher, then it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would regret it.
However, what he couldn't understand was why his teacher, the esteemed president, would protect the person in front of him. To be honest, he agreed with the other higher-ups of the association. They should send five or ten teams of inspectors to take them down. It wasn't like he hadn't dealt with other Tower Masters in the past, so what could happen this time?
"About my second condition." Lin Sanjiu began, pulling Chuck Weiss back from his scattered thoughts. The Tower Master continued, "In the upcoming war, the people around me and I will be able to participate in the war against the Abyss without any form of conscription. After all, I've already paid the price of a Magic Tower. There's no reason for me to leave my entire body here. "
There was a saying in his hometown on Earth, "It's better to be a dog in peace than a person in chaos." Perhaps Lin grew up in an area that had been far away from war for a long time, but it wasn't too far away. In addition, there were all kinds of movies, movies, novels, and articles that discussed World War II as a prominent culture. He was not completely unfamiliar with the ugliness of war. Therefore, in the face of the upcoming war, if there was a chance to run, he definitely didn't want to stay.
"Sir, who are the people around you?" Chuck Weiss asked.
Lin pointed at the two young apprentices standing behind him, and a certain Lich who sat on the side without saying a word, and said, "It's my two apprentices and this lady, Fanny Tikal. She's also a Mage, but she hasn't registered in the association yet. I also thought that this matter wasn't urgent, so I'll find a day to accompany her back to the association. However, I didn't expect something as big as the Abyss Invasion to happen first. I only hope to be able to leave after handing over the Magic Tower and teaching Sir about the various functions of the tower. I'll return to Wulian City, where I still have a house to live in. When the dust settles, I'll consider everything else. "
Not long after he finished speaking, Lin added, "Oh, by the way, bring along the two dogs in the condition. I know some people will think that two domesticated Magic Beasts should be able to fight very well. However, they only listen to the three of us. If we want to leave the two dogs behind as fighters, one of us will have to stay behind if we want them to be useful. This goes against my original condition. Therefore, in order to avoid conflict, the two dogs will be included in the condition. "
Such a condition was not difficult at all. It was just that before leaving, some of the higher-ups who were more hostile to the Tower Master had leaked some information. Perhaps they couldn't directly blame him, but they also wanted to play dirty in the war and directly kill the Tower Master. He couldn't say whether he approved or disapproved of this method, but it was fine as long as it didn't dirty his hands.
Now that the Tower Master had the foresight to say such a condition, Chuck Weiss decided to report this matter to the higher-ups and leave it to those old bastards who played with power to wrangle. He didn't want to make a decision on his own. After all, in the face of such a war with the Abyss Invasion, the power of the Society of Sorcerers would expand greatly. It was not up to him to decide which Sorcerers would be recruited and which would be exempted.
In this case, no matter how powerful the family behind them was, they might not be able to avoid the summons. The most he could do was to stall for time and see if he could avoid seeing that piece of paper before the end of the war. Because this was a war that spanned across worlds, it was possible that all the Sorcerers in a region would be defeated, and they might not necessarily win the war.
Lin also accepted the second condition, but he still needed to wait for the results of his instructions. Both sides agreed to give an answer the next day. At the same time, this night, the Tower Master began to pack up the things he was going to take away and prepare for the handover of the Magic Tower.
As long as the Tower Master and the others stayed here, no one would stop them if they wanted to take away any of their personal property. However, a large number of Sorcerers were stationed in the Magic Tower to prepare for war, and it was inevitable that there would be many people involved. Some valuable property still had to be packed and boxed in advance.
Was it troublesome to move?
It was super troublesome!
Especially the three of them who lived here, they really treated the Tower of the Great Sage as a home. Naturally, there would be many inconspicuous little things that would be very convenient or comfortable to use. When used to these little things, it would make people feel emotional and reluctant to part with them.
It was not outrageous to say that the two girls who had lived a wandering life since they had their own memories, and they had invested a considerable amount of emotion and energy into this home. In three years, when they had to leave, they wanted to take away everything they saw and did not want to leave anything behind.
Marco Lin did not think that he would have to take a lesson in severing ties in the Magic Tower, but he still comforted the two girls well. At least, they were not throwing a tantrum and refusing to leave, or stubbornly refusing to listen to advice and did not intend to reason with others.
They were precocious and understood the significance of the demon army. It could pose a threat to the life of an official Sorcerer, or even a great Sorcerer. As mere magic apprentices, what could they do? Therefore, they could only choose to trust the teacher who had taken care of them for almost six years and trust his judgment.
He persuaded the two girls to leave and only take the valuable and unique items that were difficult to obtain. As for the pots and pans, as long as they took a few large pots, it would be enough, just like those memories of constant travel in the past. However, when it was his turn, this person who seemed to be very eloquent was also caught off guard.
As for the things in the core room, Lin only packed one box and did not put any more things in it. As far as the eye could see, except for the gold, silver, and copper coins, a few clothes, and a few books that he had bought when he was an apprentice, there was nothing for him to pack.
What really made things difficult for him was those invisible and untouchable codes. The computerized Magic Tower was the most valuable asset that he had accumulated during this period of time. Not to mention that all the data of stargazing was stored in the storage medium formed by the energy pool of the Tower of the Great Sage. If he did not take these with him, he would really be back to square one.
A certain Lich who had just been resurrected not long ago also had the same problem, perhaps even more so. Because after she was resurrected, the thing that she had put her heart and soul into was the program foundation of the computerized Magic Tower. There were still many things that she wanted to do, and even more things that she had only done halfway and were waiting to be perfected or completed. If she gave up on these things and had another chance in the future, it would be a great blow to her morale.
"Disassemble the program and engrave it in magic stones? Anyway, there are plenty of Red Glory magic stones. "A certain girl also looked at the energy pool and muttered to herself.
This sentence made Lin feel that he seemed to have forgotten something very important. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He ran back to the locked box and took out all the things that he had packed. Finally, at the bottom of the box, in a ragged cloth bag, he found an item that he had forgotten for a long time. It was a Purple Change magic stone.
"This should be useful. What do you think? "Lin handed the Purple Change magic stone to Fen. Even though she was a knowledgeable Lich, Fen was still amazed by the item in her hand. She pinched it with her index finger and held it in front of her to examine it carefully. After confirming its authenticity, she said, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of thing."
"No way. Were Purple Change magic stones so rare in your era? "
"It's not just rare. I've never seen it before. This is the first time I've seen a Purple magic stone. "
"Oh, why?" Lin asked curiously.
"Maybe it has something to do with people's spellcasting habits. In my era, one's own strength was the only thing that could be trusted. Any magician who relied on external help would not make much progress. So, the demand for magic stones was not that high, and naturally, there were fewer people mining them. If there were fewer people mining, items of this level would naturally not have the chance to be seen. "
