Lin had been busy the whole night and received good news early in the morning. It was quite gratifying.
The chairman agreed that after the handover of the position of the tower master was completed, Lin, the other three apprentices, and the two dogs would retreat to the rear.
However, the second half of this condition was that they would not be enlisted in the early stages to fight against the invasion of the abyss. After all, if this battle was defeated all the way to the end, even the peasants would have to go to the battlefield with pitchforks. As an official Mage, what reason did they have to refuse a battle that would end with one side being wiped out?
Although part of the condition was changed, it was not unacceptable. Because when the battle was really rotten to that extent, they could only fight other than escape. Dogs would jump over walls when cornered, and fat otakus would also explode when cornered.
Then, in the nuclear core room that had been emptied of personal belongings, under the witness of everyone, Lin handed over the seal that belonged to the master of the Tower of the Great Sage and the scroll that had been used to open the door, which had both the seal of the key and the contract of the tower.
According to the legal principles recognized by the Society of Sorcerers, Lin no longer had the status of the tower master.
Then, the two apprentices and the unrelated person continued to pack up their personal belongings, while Lin was responsible for teaching Chuck Weiss everything about the Tower of the Great Sage, mainly the various defensive functions, until the next batch of supplies arrived. When the time came, the original tower master and a few people would retreat with the convoy to the rear.
If they could not be taught by then, the time of retreat would have to be postponed, so Lin was quite concerned about this matter. Since he had decided to leave, he did not want to stay in this sad place for too long, in case he really could not bear to leave, or if there was an accident, he would not be able to leave.
And in the first step of the handover of control, Lin's actions stunned the new tower master and the Mages who had come to prepare for the battle. He took off the rings on his fingers. For each knuckle, except for the one at the tip of the finger, there were a total of 18 rings on both hands and ten fingers. Then, he explained the functions of each ring as if he was familiar with them.
Each ring corresponded to a function, which was the most basic. Different combinations of rings could also activate different effects. Some were related, some were not.
It was as if he pulled out the main surveillance footage based on the Water Mirror Technique from all parts of the tower. He touched the ring on the third knuckle of his right middle finger and slid it over. If it was done by flicking a finger, it would represent a combination command. Then, he swiped the ring on the second knuckle of his right middle finger, which meant that he would be able to access the surveillance footage outside the tower. If he swiped the ring on the third knuckle of his right ring finger, he would be able to access the surveillance footage from all over the tower. This could be considered as a series of related commands.
However, the second knuckle of the left index finger was the command to lock and unlock the door in the magic tower. Starting from the second knuckle and then touching the second knuckle of the remaining three fingers of the left hand, the command had nothing to do with locking and unlocking the door. Doing so would activate the Eye of Arcana on the top of the tower.
Of course, Marco Lin was not like the e-sports players on Earth, who could use hundreds of quick commands freely. He was just a fat otaku who was quite familiar with computers. When he came to the maze, he only helped him set up a little more than thirty shortcut commands. And most of them only controlled the daily functions of the Magic Tower.
Even though he was only in his early thirties, the listeners looked as if they had seen a ghost the whole time. So, Lin did not intend to tell them everything. After a few symbolic introductions, he asked Chuck Weiss for his email address and sent him the list of operations.
Lin clearly saw that the people on the other side seemed to be relieved by this way of handling things. This made Lin complain a little in his heart. The people on the other side were like those people on Earth who had been spoiled by Microsoft. They only used the mouse to solve everything and had forgotten how to type on the keyboard and give commands. This was only a little more than thirty macro shortcuts. Magic was much more difficult than this. Cheer up a little.
Then, after giving a general introduction of the facilities and design of the tower and showing everyone around, they came to the key point of the handover, the defensive measures of the Tower of the Great Sage.
Inside and outside the defense tower. In terms of control, almost all of the settings were set up semi-automatically. Usually, they were in a silent state and would not be activated at all.
When there were doubts, they could enter a state of alert. When the existence of a non-whitelist was detected, a water mirror would jump out, showing the whereabouts of the suspected target and asking whether or not to attack.
And at the highest level of war, all the defense functions would be turned into the existence of magic traps. As long as a non-whitelist person triggered a certain condition, the attack would be automatically launched until the enemy fled or lost signs of life. Otherwise, the magic array facilities related to the trap would be destroyed.
It was just like when the team of supervisors of the Cartier branch came. When Lin closed the door, the whole Magic Tower entered a state of war. If the invading enemy chose to break the door and leave, no attack mode would be activated. But at that time, they chose to attack the wall of the central stairwell, which triggered the attack mode, and the lightning net trap was activated.
But behind such a design, there was no good intention. In terms of human nature, when the Magic Tower suddenly closed the door, people who came with malicious intentions would definitely not choose to leave at the first moment, but would attack. So, it was not an exaggeration to say that this was a sure-death situation. Those who would choose to leave should be the kind of people who mistakenly entered and accidentally triggered the trap of the tower, which was why they were in a hurry to open the door behind them and choose that way to live.
Other than that, it was to directly blacklist the target. As long as the Magic Tower detected it, it would launch an attack. And the attack mode was preset in several types, which would be implemented randomly according to the situation.
On the other hand, the Tower of the Great Sage could not target a specific target like other Magic Towers. Under the control of the Tower Master, the Magic Tower could become an extension of his spellcasting medium and exert a powerful amplification spell that surpassed the power of ordinary Mages. All the attack methods in the Magic Tower were set up automatically by Lin.
In this regard, Chuck Weiss expressed some dissatisfaction. No one wanted to control the operation methods of the entire Magic Tower in the hands of others, so he asked to know where the rules were set and how to correct them.
Lin had nothing to disagree with. Anyway, the Magic Tower was going to be handed over. He was not like Yang Weili in the legend of the Galactic Hero, who handed over Iserlon Fortress to the Imperial Army while thinking of ways to take it back in the future.
He never thought of returning to this Magic Tower with a Gate of the Abyss next to it and being neighbors with the demons, even if he could close the passage that connected the two worlds in the future. Because no one could guarantee that the demons would not try to open the connection again at these coordinates. Similar things had happened many times in the history of the Mystic Lands.
So Lin simply opened the source code of the Magic Tower's attack mode. Thousands of lines of content in the three files, Lin began to explain the function of each section of the content. He poured out the truth from the bottom of his heart, but unfortunately, the listeners were not so self-aware. They were all dumbfounded.
Thinking about it, these things, in this world, except for himself and Fen, no one could understand. Perhaps the geniuses in the Mystic Lands could also master it after learning the relevant knowledge. But no one had taught these things today, so naturally, no one could learn it. So he ended with a sentence, saying:
"If these contents are to be corrected, a lot of knowledge is necessary. But the crisis of the Abyss is imminent, maybe we just need to learn how to operate it first. If there are changes to be made in the future, how about we do it according to your ideas? "
"Of course, of course." Chuck Weiss nodded hurriedly, but his expression was one of relief. He did not want to continue to dwell on this matter. As a great mage, he had always looked at the people in front of him with a condescending gaze. He really could not admit that he did not understand what Lin Li had made.
Now that he knew how much the other party could accept, Lin continued to talk about the attack mode outside the tower.
For ordinary mages, the Arcane Eye was just a spell to see distant scenes. But in Lin's research, it was not just that. In addition to seeing distant scenes, it could also use infrared mode to distinguish temperature differences, including mana and authority, and the energy flow in the bodies of warriors and various creatures.
In recent research, the Arcane Eye had also made significant progress in distinguishing light spectra. Perhaps this spell was the key to a breakthrough in the observation of celestial bodies.
But this aspect had nothing to do with the defense system outside the Magic Tower. The key was that it could observe everything that happened around the Magic Tower in detail. Using this to guide the original strategic attack spell of the Tower of the Great Sage, the Light Bullet Attack Array, to attack.
Under Lin's modification, the Light Bullet Attack Array was divided into five levels of attack mode. In the first stage, the rate of fire was between 60 and 80 shots per second. In the second stage, the Light Bullet Attack Array was used in multiple directions. This was usually used to deal with magical beasts or wild beasts that were difficult to deal with outside the Magic Tower. Due to their small numbers and weak strength, this method was enough to deal with them.
In the third stage, the Light Bullet Attack Array could be used in one direction or multiple directions, but the rate of fire was increased to between 300 and 400 shots per minute. This was the method used to deal with the allied nobles of the Franks and Margrave Neumann. It was also the upper limit of the Light Bullet Attack Array.
The fourth stage was to imitate the Gatling Gun from Earth, which was the concept of the Fire God Cannon later on. The attack array of primordial light bullets was arranged at the six tips of the hexagram. The hexagram was built out of thin air using Mirr magic words, which meant that it was no longer limited by the body of the magic tower.
That way, the Light Bullet Attack Array could be fired at a rate of four to six thousand shots per minute. Now, the Tower of the Great Sage could erect six hexagram Light Bullet Attack Arrays. In theory, the Light Bullet Attack Array could be fired at an insane rate of thirty thousand shots per minute.
Due to the high frequency of the Light Bullet Attack Array, the Light Bullet Attack Array's trajectory was no longer the shortest straight line. Instead, the Light Bullet Attack Array would draw all sorts of arcs and zigzags to hit the target. This was the method used to deal with the three giant magical beasts that attacked the Magic Tower before the Arcane Eye was built.
Lin didn't know how long the Atoli Source Pool, which was responsible for supplying the Tower of the Great Sage with energy, could last under such a high frequency of attacks. Lin only knew that the energy pool fluctuated during the two minutes it took to kill the three magical beasts. However, it didn't show any signs of magic power decreasing.
