Grimwin chatted for a while and then left. In fact, when he learned from the president that someone was targeting the mage who was forced to leave the Tower of the Great Sage, he put aside his own business and rushed over immediately. What he saw was the scene from before.
To be fair, he quite admired this junior and even faintly felt fear. Every time he went back to the Tower of the Great Sage, that sense of powerlessness always shrouded his heart. However, he was quite easy to get along with. Although he didn't make people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze, at least he wasn't annoying. This was also the reason why he came to help.
Moreover, regarding the undercurrent under Wulian City, it was enough to give the necessary hints. With his status, it was not convenient for him to speak too directly. Especially since the two of them were only friends, but not close enough to trust each other with life and death.
After sending away the guest who helped him a lot, plus the Lich who was already at home, as long as no more guests came to visit today, there shouldn't be any more trouble. Thinking about how he had just returned to Wulian City and hadn't even warmed up his seat, there were all kinds of troubles, including the president's summons and evil guests, Lin felt a little helpless. When he thought about the mess in the courtyard, he felt even more helpless.
He patted his face and cheered himself up. The last time he arrived at Wulian City, he didn't stop for much and ran out again. This time, he didn't have any other plans and had to stay for a long time. The situation of the house was maintained quite well under the management of the wife of the Chamber of Commerce. However, it still took a lot of effort to tidy it up to the extent that he wanted it to be.
Lich, who had evolved into a useless person, occupied the largest bedroom in the house. In just a moment, the atmosphere of the bedroom began to move in a strange direction. It wasn't the kind of strange where the candlelight flickered and there were skulls everywhere.
Think about it. The Western witch's residence, which could only be seen in manga, would be similar to the scene described above. Coupled with the Dry Woman's sloppy and lazy personality, the Dry Woman's residence would be similar to this. On one side of the room, there was a long row of neatly hung clothes. There were strange costumes for cosplay, formal dresses for formal occasions, and a bunch of unknown … loose sportswear? They were all hung together in a careful and heavy manner.
If Lin were to evaluate him, it would be that his character was a mess. An unknown character was destined to be thrown into the trash can. Unfortunately, if he dared to throw that person into the trash can, he would probably be stuffed into that person's grave.
The two girls had their own rooms, but the study room and the research room were still shared. Compared to when he moved into the Tower of the Great Sage, his personal collection had increased significantly.
Thinking about it, there were quite a few dark race members who had died in the Tower of the Great Sage. Many of their personal belongings had become Kaya's collection, especially the bone specimens. In the past, he had used the money that he had saved for a long time to buy a skull that was suspected to be used in an evil ritual. Now, a whole set of skeletons was hanging in the room, and there was more than one.
There were grey dwarves, dark elves, half-transformed werewolves, and even human skeletons. If not for the fact that Fen had only seen Kaya a few times after her resurrection, Lin would have thought that this girl was planning to develop in the direction of a necromancer.
In addition to a few strange flowers and plants, Halloumi's room now had many other varieties of man-eating flowers and vines. Of course, saying that they ate humans was a bit of an exaggeration. With the size of those plants, it would be impressive if they could digest a small mouse. But if they were raised in the future, it would be hard to say.
The strangest thing was that there was actually something like a goldfish plant in the mysterious land! Halloumi also raised a dozen of them. As long as there was wind, one plant would sway, and the other plants would sway with the same frequency and amplitude. From time to time, they would make strange sounds, and if they were physically stimulated, they would even scream.
Kaya had been woken up by the screaming goldfish plants in the middle of the night several times. That was why she had been begging her teacher that she wanted to sleep in separate rooms with her friends. And that request had only been fulfilled today. Halloumi did not mind. Or rather, it should be said that she went even further. She went to buy a few more goldfish plants, which almost took up half of her room.
Should it be said that it was easy for a girl raised by an otaku to go astray?
As for Lin's own room, it was in the attic. It was the place where the foster children, servants, and maids would go to live in those tragic stories. Of course, living in the attic was not because Lin had begun to walk the path of the protagonist with a tragic fate. It was purely a choice made for the convenience of stargazing.
The night in the mysterious land could be said to be an excellent environment without any light. Back in the Tower of the Great Sage, as long as the lights on the third floor were turned off, there would be no other light source in the world except for the moonlight.
Now in Wulian City, this quiet neighborhood was not like those bustling commercial neighborhoods, which were brightly lit even at night. At night, the nearby houses were also pitch black, except for the illumination when there were people moving around.
This kind of environment was, of course, very conducive to observing the activities of the stars. Lin also did a good job of decorating his work environment. But for the time being, only the window in the attic could be modified so that the telescope could have a wider view. Perhaps in the future, if necessary, it was not impossible to tear down a part of the roof. But for the time being, Lin did not want to do that kind of big project.
In fact, there was not much furniture to add to this new home. The original things were already very useful. Lin and the others were not so obsessed with cleanliness that they had to use new things for everything. But Lin still took the time to go to the blacksmith shop and ordered some things from the alchemy shop. In addition to some items that were damaged during the journey, the main thing was a roaster for processing coffee beans and a siphon pot for brewing coffee.
These few things were not difficult to craft. With the technology in the mysterious land, it was more than enough. There was no need to make it fully automatic like on Earth in the 21st century. But it was not without difficulties waiting to be overcome. How to make the roasting barrel rotate so that the coffee was evenly heated during the roasting process was a problem. Marco Lin did not want to use a crank and manpower to complete this difficult task.
Fortunately, although there was no electricity or motor in this world, there was more unreasonable magic. And the blacksmiths who could stay in Wulian City were not ignorant people who only knew how to forge. Without a few unique skills, they could not survive in this competitive environment.
But when he began to discuss and make the roaster, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. In addition to the motor of the roaster machine, Marco Lin used a drawing form that did not exist in the mysterious land to draw a detailed design blueprint. But the technology to assemble every part, which was the technology of screwing or welding, was also not available in the mysterious land.
This made a certain man who was holding the blueprint and feeling smug, dumbfounded. Having a pile of parts but not being able to assemble them was no different from having none.
Inventing screws or welding technology? To be honest, he, a top student in astrophysics, had gone too far in the mysterious land. Lin did not want to continue to go astray. So he decided to find a way to solve the problem from the perspective of magic.
He also discussed with the blacksmith who cooperated with him. The two of them also discussed several sets of plans to solve the problem of assembling the parts.
Because the roaster was not like the armor plates, the mobility of the body had to be considered. Except for a few parts of the machine, most parts of the machine were fixed. At most, there were holes for maintenance so that the hands could work. So there were several sets of magic from the alchemy system that could be used to fix the parts.
In the end, Lin chose a method that consumed a lot of materials but was more flexible and easier to maintain in the future. It could not be helped. For Lin, money was not a problem. Besides, his original personality was to be willing to pay a higher price to use a more reliable item. Instead of being greedy and having to compromise in the process of using it, he should not be greedy.
As for the production of the Siphon Pot, it was even simpler. This was because they were essentially just glass jars and corks. The Alchemy of the Mystical Land was much more advanced. It was just that the appearance was different from the existing glass pot, so the people in the alchemy shop confirmed it repeatedly before starting to make it.
During this period of time, all kinds of troubles that Lin had predicted would come to him had actually stopped. Maybe it was because of the Lich's identity, the former Demon King Tikal's name was brewing, so some people with bad intentions temporarily stopped and waited to see what would happen.
On the other hand, on the first day, the appearance of Master Wizard Grimwin to some extent shocked a group of people who wanted to take advantage of the situation. That was why Lin had a few days of peace and took care of his little house even more.
The more troublesome thing was probably the right to use the Head Coffin. The Lich wanted to continue to occupy it, but whether it was the storage of the star map or the various astronomical calculations, Lin had to rely on the Head Coffin, which had the power of a computerized magic tower. Since the Lich did not take the half-finished product in the dream seriously and only treated the star map as a decoration, he did not give up the right to use the Head Coffin.
Considering that Lin was still useful, and that his brain was not completely cleaned out, Finn generously gave in. He did not chop off a stubborn head and put it in the Head Coffin, so that the item could live up to its name.
However, they did not just exchange the use of the Head Coffin. Lin proposed the concept of a terminal.
In fact, this concept had already been perfected by the Tower of the Great Sage, and many magic towers used a similar concept. That was, no matter where one was in the magic tower, they could use the terminal interface of the forum. However, it relied on the magic tower's omnipresent channel of magical power and an energy pool that provided semi-unlimited energy.
The Head Coffin's foundation, the purple grade magic stone, was not like the energy pool of the magic tower, which could be squandered without limit. If the energy consumed was higher than the amount of natural recovery, in the long run, the magic stone would be exhausted. That was why both Lin and Finn were careful when using it.
