Report

Although the magical civilization in the land of mystery did not lose to the technological civilization on Earth in terms of what it could do, it was still controlled by the majority. However, this was ultimately a power controlled by a small number of people. The entire society was still in an era similar to the European Middle Ages. This meant that the natural changes in society were relatively slow, unless there was something that could change the era and revolutionize the level of things.

Unfortunately, the browser, a tool that could quickly transmit information, was something of this level.

Before entering the Wadwo tribe, Lin had handed over the rights to copy and sell the browser and related knowledge in exchange for the materials to make the container that could seal the indescribable thing in Mountain Ridge City. After a year of brewing, the browser was like a plague, spreading unstoppably to all parts of the world. The Basque region also ushered in a wave of changes.

Mountainous regions meant that mineral resources would be more abundant than other places. As the carrier of the browser, the magic stone was the main source of production in the Basque region. Now that the program that carried the browser had been processed, it became even more popular in the eyes of merchants, selling it to other regions in the land of mystery.

In particular, Mountain Ridge City was originally a strategic stronghold and an important location for the regional command center hundreds of years ago, connecting to the supply route to other regions. Today, it had become an important lifeline for the Basque region. Not only did it transport the local mountain products endlessly, but it also transported resources from all parts of the world, forming a mutually beneficial exchange. And today, the browser magic stone had become an important export commodity.

In this wave, of course, there was help and resistance. The three major organizations that added fuel to the fire, other than the Society of Sorcerers, were the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer Guild.

In terms of the practical use of the southwest peninsula, using the exchange of information on the forum might have caused the two guilds to lose a source of income, but it also maximized the use of human resources. Not to mention some shady missions, the main mission of the two guilds was to distribute the combat power reasonably, crusade against magical beasts, thieves, and so on, and protect the development of the civilization. And the rapid exchange of information undoubtedly allowed the two guilds to submit better results.

And another big advantage was that the two guilds had already established a set of recognized and effective systems and measures after years of cooperation in the southwest peninsula branch. Some subjective information that was not divided into regions had already been completed.

In other words, the framework had already been set. If the branches in other regions wanted to participate, they only needed to let the members of the branch join the forum and integrate the regional information to start operations. What was left was the proficiency of the members and the popularity of the forum.

But for another group of people, the appearance of browsers and forums made them both love and hate them.

On the surface, there were various countries and nobles, but the foolish thoughts of the people were still generally filled with the ruling class in the land of confusion. In their eyes, the common people were slaves who provided for them to live a good life, and they had the power to kill. The people under their rule didn't need to know too much. They just needed to know how to obey and do things according to their instructions. Of course, innocent people like them couldn't be contaminated by the discussions on the forum.

But on the other hand, they were reluctant to give up the convenience of the forum. Whether it was the communication with other nobles, the current popular news, the exchange of business intelligence, or the reports of spies, there were signs of instability in his territory. First-hand information from the forum allowed them to react quickly and not be caught off guard by any sudden news.

If the territory was large enough to afford a specialized intelligence unit, then these intelligence leaders would love and hate the forum even more. They loved the faster and more convenient transmission of information, and the spies sent out wouldn't be caught in the wrong because of the information in the paper. They hated the convenience of sending people out, which also made it difficult for them to catch spies from other forces.

But there was also an organization that hated browsers and forums more than they loved them, and that was the Thieves' Guild.

In fact, the thieves, or people who were used to acting in the dark, didn't have a unified organization. Instead, the underground society, local ruffians, and hooligans all did what they wanted. The communication between them was also limited to the exchange of interests. There was only a leader in name. In fact, the people inside didn't obey anyone.

One of their big sources of income was the market of information that was destroyed by the forum. Don't think that the forum would only release information that 'they thought everyone knew' and not the kind of confidential information. In fact, there were very few people who really relied on the latter to make a profit. They were very high-end and didn't have business all the time. Most people relied on the former kind of information to make some money to live. And then they were ruined …

It wasn't just a loss of money. More importantly, when they lost the weapon of controlling information, their status in the eyes of those in power fell a lot. It could even be said that they were in danger because they were no longer of value. So compared to most people who were happy to hang around the forum, this group of people who harbored hatred remembered the name more — Guebrach Tripwood.

A small episode that had nothing to do with the general trend of the Lost Land. In Mountain Ridge City, the high-level members of the Basque branch of the Society of Sorcerers used to curse the group of Lord Devil and her followers who extorted a lot of precious magic materials from them every day. Now, their daily routine became mocking the stupid Mage who threw away the chicken that could lay golden eggs.

There were high-level members of other branches who also wanted a piece of the pie. However, under the condition that the creator was still alive, these "high-level" members couldn't act on their own accord just because they nodded. If the rules set by themselves were publicly broken by themselves, it would only make the most basic trust of the Society collapse. So, as long as they didn't have the creator's permission, no one dared to open this mouth.

This situation also caused an undercurrent to begin to brew. When a certain man was still alive and would block the path of wealth of too many people, it didn't seem necessary to think too much about what the best way was. In addition, the Guild of Rogues also had the business of intermediary assassins, so the two sides hit it off immediately. If it weren't for the fact that they had ascertained Roland's whereabouts and that he was now staying in the Wood Elves' tribe, there would probably be assassins at his door.

In a situation where the target was completely unaware, the undercurrent lurked and waited for an opportunity.

The situation in the outside world had changed like this, but it wasn't like Lin Sanjiu and the others were unaffected.

The Lich was naked all day, walking around in broad daylight. It was quite a frightening sight. That's right! It was horrifying! Because not only was Finn naked, but he also had no skin, no muscles, and no internal organs. He was in the form of a golden skeleton, alive and kicking, walking around the territory of the World Tree. No matter how one looked at it, it was very strange.

This old man didn't seem to want to solve his problem for the time being. To put it nicely, he was liberating himself. I say, Sister, you've liberated yourself too thoroughly.

As an assistant researcher, apart from having more and more strange interests, Kaya was still firmly walking down the path of magic. However, her companions weren't as focused.

Running around all day and playing with the Wood Elves' children, Hallumi had also figured out some tricks, so she was walking more and more in places that no one was paying attention to. When Lin Sanjiu looked at the girl again, apart from the fact that she didn't have pointy ears and blonde hair, he didn't notice her among the Wood Elves.

Her clothes were coarse linen, and vines were tied around her waist. Her beautiful blonde hair was cut so short that it exposed the nape of her neck. Her lotus-like arms were exposed, and her slender legs only covered half of her thighs. Moreover, she was barefoot. The most important thing was that it was winter right now …

Actually, this scene wasn't strange in the Wadwo Tribe, because the Wood Elves all dressed like this. No one had seen anyone freeze to death on the side of the road. According to Hallumi, this was because the Wood Elves had a very special breathing method. Not only could it strengthen their bodies, but it would also improve their resistance to cold under the cover of the World Tree. Not being afraid of the cold was the most basic thing.

It was just that his physique had improved, but there wasn't much improvement in the curvature of his body. Had they really been spoiled by a certain someone? Lin Sanjiu thought seriously.

And it wasn't just her. Kaya was the same. They ate and slept well in the Wadwo Tribe, and they were nourished by the World Tree level Fendor. Who knew where the nutrients they absorbed had gone? It was as if their puberty had ended early. Apart from their height, their bodies were no different from ten years ago. Lin Sanjiu could only sigh deeply at this.

Clenching their fists and gritting their teeth, the girls' desire to kill their master grew stronger and stronger.

Of course, the reason for this change wasn't just because they were playing with the Wood Elves' children. Her behavior was noticed by Kalama Harang, and his interest was aroused.

When this Wood Elf brother came in front of the girls, he said, "Human girl, do you want to learn something from me?"

The relationship between master and disciple in the Mysterious Land was very sacred. Without the master's permission, becoming a disciple of a second master was tantamount to betrayal and would be despised by others. Even if the two masters were in different fields, like Lin Sanjiu, who was a Mage, and Kalama Harang, who was a Warrior and a Druid.

Even if she was very interested, Hallumi had never thought of betraying that master. So she said, "Thank you for your favor, but I can't become your disciple before I get master's permission. Besides, I'm only halfway on the path of magic. I've never thought of giving up magic. "

"That's easy. I've never thought of taking you as my disciple anyway. I'm just interested in giving you a few pointers. Maybe after a few days, the interest will fade, and you'll have to pray for yourself. Because even if you ask me, I might not answer you. "

Just like that, under the strong temptation and the fact that Lin Sanjiu didn't object, Hallumi studied under Kalama Harang for a while. For Lin, teaching these two apprentices was just to get a monthly allowance from the Society of Sorcerers. Of course, he didn't care about that small amount of money now. Secondly, magic was just a way to survive in the Mysterious Land. The same was true for combat skills. So he didn't object to his apprentices learning any skills that could increase their chances of survival.

As the saying went, if one side wasn't good, the other side was good. Compared to her talent in magic, which was only slightly better than ordinary people, the girl was praised by Kalama Harang for her combat skills. Even the White Sword Saint, William Greco, who was still in the tribe, came to join in the fun. He gave some pointers on some tricks that he thought were very interesting. Moreover, he gave some tips that the girl could use more easily.

Not only did Hallumi benefit a lot, even Kalama Harang got some insights. It was clear that William Greco wasn't just saying it casually.
