A certain someone knew nothing about everything that happened in the dream. It was mainly because the time on both sides was different. From the invasion of the Nightmare Beast and the Nightmare Demon to his death, Lin did feel it, but his heart only tightened. It was also because it didn't cause any harm that he didn't feel any strange changes.
The processing of the coffee beans was also coming to an end. Most of the villagers were doing carpentry. They made wooden barrels and put the beans into the barrels. However, the way the villagers weighed the beans was so crude that it was almost equivalent to nothing. Everyone had their own way.
In the end, they didn't even want to bother weighing the beans. They just stuffed the beans into the wooden barrels. Some people would stuff the beans until the lid was just right to seal the barrel. Some people would fill it casually and even seal the barrel when it was seventy to eighty percent full. Although Lin didn't want to care about this group of people, if he allowed them to mess around on their first cooperation, it wouldn't be good for future cooperation. Unless he had to endure their messy every time after that.
Therefore, after communicating with the elder in charge, he chose a method that everyone could accept and was more convenient. He made a large wooden basin and placed it in the pool that was dug to wash the coffee beans.
As the previous process was completed, the pool was useless at this time. After putting the beans into the large wooden basin, he found a stone that was about XXX (30 kilograms) that was in line with the previous agreement. He put it into the large wooden basin together with a more standard wooden barrel that the villagers had completed. According to the depth of the wooden basin, he made a mark on the outside of the basin.
After the agreement, the coffee beans that were sealed in the barrels were put into the wooden basin to be weighed. If it was too light, of course, they had to add some beans. If it was too heavy, they were allowed to take out too many beans. In short, they tried their best to make the weight of each barrel consistent.
In Lin's eyes, this method of weighing was also crude, but the error was definitely not small. However, it was already much more advanced than the villagers' original method. After letting everyone try a few times with their own methods, everyone agreed to this method and standard. After that, the bucket filling operation was much more pleasing to the eye in Lin's eyes.
Other than the bucket filling operation, Lin didn't have to enter the dream to fight anymore. If he had already dug out all his potential at this stage, then there was no point in entering the Dream World. It was better to think about how to continue improving his strength in reality.
According to the Lich Fen, what he did in the dream was just a process of sorting out his abilities and modifying his body. When he was able to transform every part of his body into bricks of the same proportion of power in his dream, perhaps he would be able to say that he had succeeded in forging his body. Only then would he be able to advance to the next level.
However, these were all just Lich's experiences. His words were filled with uncertainty like 'maybe' and 'should', so he knew that these experiences might not necessarily apply to him. Furthermore, he was stuck at this stage, so there was no need to think too much about it. Lin was waiting for the villagers to fill the buckets. He was thinking of a solution according to the Lich's other suggestion.
'The shadow hidden in the eyes'. Of course, he had to ask more about the situation before he could find a solution to such a baffling question. But before looking for Lich, he had to first ask the two girls what they could see from his eyes.
"There's eye wax." This was Halloumi's answer.
"There's a hair." Kaya's observation is so detailed. No wonder my eyes felt a little uncomfortable …
So he had to find a certain Lich.
"Can't you see what's in your eyes?"
These words were too profound. How could he see his own eyes when the Water Mirror spell couldn't see anything? Lin seriously thought about this problem.
Unfortunately, someone's lack of wisdom. The Lich didn't keep him in suspense and directly said, "I don't know why the tower you built in the dream is projected in your left eye. There's something terrible on it, so it's best not to let others see it. That's why I told you to hide it. "
"What do you mean by something terrible?" Lin asked worriedly. He was creeped out by the Lich's words.
"Power, is there anything worse?"
"Funny, which mage doesn't play with power? Why am I worse?"
"I don't know what kind of power other mages play with. But as far as I know, and compared to your previous situation, I'm guessing that not many people would fight with the gods for the power they truly control. That's no different from a dog fighting for food in a bowl. Take a guess, how would the gods of your era react to this? In my era, this was worse than the destruction of an entire family. Maybe your gods are more forgiving. "
"Your mother, is it that exciting?"
"My mother died a long time ago. Those damn hairy gods killed her, so most of them died by my hands. Those that I didn't kill were killed by the dominators I let in. So, it's not just exciting, it's life-threatening. Don't you think it's interesting? " With his hands on his waist, the Lich was quite displeased by Lin's overreaction and words, and pretended to be angry.
What could he say? Of course, he had to appease the person in front of him. Those deities were still too far away from him. But he still had to understand the difference between the two before he could make corresponding defenses. So, while signing all kinds of unequal treaties, Lin pestered Finn about the things that she didn't want to talk about before, but now he had to get to the bottom of it.
"Do you remember what I said before, the essence of power?"
"Impressive." From the technology-oriented world of Earth to the magic-oriented world of the maze, Lin's worldview had been refreshed once. After reviving the Lich, he learned the truth of power from her. It could be said that the experience and knowledge that he had accumulated for more than ten years in the maze was refreshed once again. But the conversation back then was brought up now, which meant … "I have the 'power' you mentioned before? How did I do it? "
"This question, I want to ask you."
"In other words, because I have that kind of power, it caused the mutation in my left eye?"
"Very likely. Those who truly have power will have a part of their body turned into vessels. Some are easy to see, some are not. "
"Like your bones."
"That's right, like my bones."
"But I asked the two girls, they said they didn't see anything." Lin said doubtfully.
"Of course. Normal people can't see your current level. But if someone who can see it sees it, it will be very serious. So be good, listen to me, and cover up what needs to be covered. "Fen rubbed Lin's head like she was coaxing a child. A certain someone who couldn't resist, was filled with regret.
Lin didn't care whether his hair was messy or not. But his head was being rubbed and shook, which was very troublesome. Lin grumbled and complained, "Seriously, why do I have to change something weird in my eye? Why don't I turn it into a golden hourglass like Raistlin of the Dragon Spear? That would be cooler. A one-story tower, what's that? "
"Raistlin of the Dragon Spear? Who's that? "
"A magician who killed a god with the body of a mortal."
"Oh, someone can do the same thing as me, I'm very interested. Tell me about this Raistlin. "
…
Since he came from Earth, he had told this former Demon King many fictional stories, so this one didn't make much of a difference. So, Lin became a storyteller once again.
The story had to be told, and the things that needed to be thought had to be thought. How to hide the anomaly in his left eye, Lin's first thought was to wear glasses. Of course, it would be more suitable to wear contact lenses, but those things couldn't be made with the craftsmanship of Earth. He wasn't familiar with it, so naturally, he didn't want to use a traditional method to complete it.
As for normal glasses, because he had to prepare small props to match Fen's clothes, he had made several pairs. He had enough experience in this area, so it wasn't a big problem to make a suitable frame for himself. The difficult part was the lens.
Because the goal was to hide the information that might be exposed in the eyeball. So, it was unlikely that it would be like the glasses he made for Fen, which only had a frame and no lens.
How complicated was it to make a lens? How difficult was it? If it was simple, Zeiss wouldn't be a world-class company, and the optical system wouldn't be an independent commercial project. Lin didn't want to count how many lenses he had ruined in the astronomical telescope that he made for himself. It took him seven years of intermittent work, starting from when he was a magician's apprentice, to finally make a few usable lenses.
Today, he wasn't like before, when he was fat and short-sighted. After coming to Earth, his physical condition was better than when he was on Earth, and he didn't have short-sightedness anymore. In this situation, he could only wear a pair of plain glasses, so that it wouldn't hinder or even degrade his vision.
In the end, Lin Xiang came up with a very strange magic material — the Snell crystal.
This kind of crystal was mostly used by the Magicians in the Mystic Lands to create magic prisons to imprison Magicians or other creatures who had achieved a certain level of mastery in magic. And its use was a small window for surveillance.
Although it was possible to see the situation in the prison through the small window of the Snell crystal, the crystal blocked the transmission of power. This made it impossible for magicians to cast spells through the small window, whether it was to kill the prison guard or destroy the prison.
If the left eye was indeed the power that revealed power, could he use the Snell crystal to block the attention of others?
In fact, other than the use of magic, Lin was more interested in the characteristics of the crystal in scientific testing.
The Snell crystal didn't seem to have any refraction. So, light would go out in a straight line the way it came in.
He recognized this material because when he was making the lens for the telescope, he said to the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, "Give me the best magic material that is most suitable for grinding into a lens." Then, the other party very cutely took out a material that couldn't be used at all. Fortunately, in the end, the lens for the telescope was ground out, and it wasn't the material of the Snell crystal.
As for Lin, he wore an eye patch over his left eye. The Snell crystal might be suitable, but he didn't have the material at hand, so naturally, he couldn't make it immediately. For the time being, it was replaced by a one-eyed pirate captain's eye patch.
