"Teacher, the sun is up."
The ghostly voices of the two girls disturbed Lin's sleep. He opened his eyes tiredly. The glaring sun shone through the open door of the observatory and hit his bare butt.
He turned around and saw the two girls hanging by the bed, only half of their faces showing. Their eyes were darting around, and he didn't know what they were thinking. Lin struggled to get up, grabbed a robe and put it on as he asked, "Where are our guests?"
"They ran away early in the morning." "They left early in the morning."
Two maidservants, two sentences, two meanings. The only thing they had in common was the fact that they left. Lin reached for the tobacco pipe at the head of the bed, but there was nothing there.
Tobacco was the only refreshing item similar to Earth that he had found after coming to the maze world. Unfortunately, everyone in the maze liked to smoke a big pipe. Lin didn't feel like Sherlock Holmes, so he made himself a dry tobacco pipe. He also used magic materials carefully, planning to use it to replace the original long cane as his daily spellcasting medium.
But the tobacco pipe was not made long ago, and he was not a heavy smoker, so he didn't use it much. He vaguely remembered that when he was about to smoke a cigarette last night, a certain woman snatched it away, and then they had a great battle. Maybe the woman mentioned the tobacco pipe in the process. In the end, the woman took it away.
Lin felt helpless.
Looking at the empty bottles scattered on the floor, it explained why he had a headache that made him want to bang his head against the wall. Lin felt even more helpless.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Hallumi urged a certain someone who was still in a daze. "We need to clean, wash the clothes, and wash the sheets. The sun is so bright today, and the weather is so good, it would be a waste not to wash things. Or do you want to clean up this mess yourself? "
"No, please. My head is so dizzy, and my whole body is sore." He held onto something with both hands and struggled to get off the bed. Based on his previous experience, this level of hangover would take him a few days to recover. Lin felt helpless.
He moved himself to the small dining table in the nuclear room. Lin lay on the table, picked up the trash can, and retched. Kaya was in charge of cleaning up, but before that, she poured a glass of water for her teacher. Hallumi, on the other hand, cleaned up the bedside and picked up the trash.
As for the main point of yesterday's transaction, the Purple Change Grade Magic Stone and the bag of gold coins, they were buried under the pile of clothes. Kaya, on the other hand, carefully placed the item in front of her teacher after discovering it. As usual, she opened the money pouch to make sure that the money inside was not some kind of evil money that could not be circulated. Although it was already too late to do this now that they were far away. But when she got the money pouch, she just opened it casually and didn't think much about it.
The glistening gold coins had a kind of attractive power, especially to the children who were afraid of being poor. Kaya was no exception. She picked up a gold coin and examined it carefully, then said, "It looks like it."
"What do you mean?" Hallumi naturally paid more attention to her female companion who was the same age as her. She saw the brown-skinned girl holding a coin and looking at it carefully.
Kaya waved at the blonde girl and said, "Halloumi, come take a look. Doesn't this look like the female leader?" Kaya was referring to the side profile of the head on the gold coin.
Hallumi also picked up a gold coin and looked at it carefully. It wasn't that she didn't feel anything, but the more she looked at it, the more it looked like the female leader. The two girls looked at each other, then turned to look at their teacher who was in a daze and handed over the gold coins in their hands.
Lin casually picked one up and looked at it. It really did look a little like her. "If you ask me, I just don't know if her mother or grandmother is the queen of some country, so she put her head on the coin when she minted it. The female leader was probably a direct blood relative. She might even have the title of a princess. I guess Keno is just a fake name to fool people. Who knows what her real name is. Of course, it's most likely just a coincidence that she looks like her. "
Thinking about it, Lin Xiang realized that he might have slept with a princess yesterday. He felt a little smug, but then he felt disappointed. Because according to the scene, he should have been the one sleeping with the princess. The dominant and the submissive were irreversible. Three helpless sighs.
Romantic encounters were something that could only be chanced upon. At least when Lin Xiang thought that he was about to unlock the harem halo of transmigrating male protagonists, his days returned to the dull and boring days of the past. Just like on Earth before transmigrating, he thought that if he studied well, was knowledgeable, and found a good job, he could become a winner in life. In the end, he was still a loser.
Being betrayed by life again, Lin Xiang was used to it. His mood quickly changed and he returned to his post. If he had to feel sorry for himself over such a small matter, then he would have committed suicide many times over, and he wouldn't have lived to the age of transmigrating.
In the past few days, the most urgent situation was the situation in the weapons room. Although most of the weapons in there were made by Lin Xiang on a whim, he wouldn't feel bad if they were sold, broken, or lost. But those crossbows were really tools to make a living – they were the main weapons used by the two apprentices when they went out hunting.
Now they were sold to the point that not a single one was left. Lin Xiang made a slingshot in an attempt to send the two girls away. But looking at the two pairs of sad eyes all day long, if he didn't put forward the plan to make a new crossbow, he was afraid that the resentment in their eyes would pierce through him.
So after listening to the experience of the two apprentices, Lin Xiang also improved some of the technology and made two light crossbows. Of course, the materials were selected from the warehouse that he didn't need for the time being. At the same time, he used some magic technology to make them. The power of these two light crossbows was not inferior to the previous heavy crossbows.
After all, the previous crossbows were made before he became the Tower Master, when he was in dire financial straits. Even if there were some ideas for improvement later, as long as the project was too big and most of the parts had to be remade, Lin Xiang would choose to temporarily put it aside. So a lot of ideas for technical improvement were concentrated on this one. This also included the project of enchantment.
And the research of space exploration officially entered another stage of tool development, which was the detailed measurement of spectra. Although the results measured in the atmosphere had a lot of errors, the project of a space telescope had to be implemented to get more accurate data. But before that, it was necessary to improve the accuracy of the measurement. And ideal accuracy was not something that a simple spectrometer could provide.
On Earth, spectroscopy relied on electronic parts. Marco Lin couldn't cross over to that field and invent all the electronic parts that could be used in spectroscopy. Since he was in a world where magic was the mainstream, he naturally had to solve problems from the perspective of magic. So his recent work was mainly focused on the analysis of the first circle of apprentice-level magic, Light.
But although he had a direction, he didn't have a clue for the time being. Because apprentice-level magic was only taught how to use it, but the theory behind it was never taught. And the most commonly mentioned phrase was, "Concentrate on perception, feel the omnipresent power, and under its guidance, cast magic." This was a very mysterious phrase.
And one afternoon, Lin Xiang was thinking hard about the meaning of the various parts of the magic model of Light when a brown-skinned girl with two braids ran up to him.
"Master, someone is looking for you on the forum."
Lin Xiang, whose thoughts were interrupted, was a little confused and motioned for Kaya to continue.
"There's a new discussion thread in the chat area. The title is' To His Excellency the Tower Master of the Tower of the Great Sage. '"
The girl, who cherished her words like gold, didn't say much. Her meaning was obvious. She wanted Lin Xiang to go to the forum and see for himself. But in the process, Lin still asked, "Have you seen the content of the thread? What's it about?"
"No. When I click on it, it says that I don't have enough permission. "
"Oh." Lin Xiang opened the chat area of the forum and took a cursory look. Because of the large number of users on the forum, new posts and replies were constantly generated. So, as long as there was no reply or update, the posts would quickly sink to an unknown place.
In this case, Lin Xiang could only search. The keyword was "Tower of the Great Sage." There weren't many search results. Most of them were still very early. Judging from the titles, most of them were complaining that the code behind the framework of the forum was too complicated and that no one could understand it at all. And the first new post was "To His Excellency the Tower Master of the Tower of the Great Sage" mentioned by Kaya.
Generally speaking, for the transmission of important content, most users of the forum used a white list mode: only those who were allowed to view it, and everyone else was blocked. Lin Xiang thought that the other party must've made such a setting. So, after confirming that his login identity was his name, he clicked on the topic of the discussion string. It said, "Insufficient permission, unable to view the content."
Lin Xiang was speechless at the warning on the screen. Even Kaya, who was standing beside him, showed a slightly surprised expression and asked, "How could this be?"
As the teacher, he analyzed seriously, "There are two situations. First, the other party is just playing a prank. There's no content in the first place, and they don't want people to see it, so they did this. As for the reason behind it, you can probably guess a thing or two. "
The girl's eyes widened as she quietly listened to her teacher's explanation.
"You've mentioned before that there are more posts with unclear titles in the forum's chat area, and most of them can't be viewed with visitor privileges. This should be someone using the chat area to pass on secret information. And a lot of information, even if it's just the title leaked out, in the eyes of the observant, a lot of things can be found out. As long as someone has a keen eye for information gathering, they can detect this kind of information. And using the name 'Tower of the Great Sage' is probably more likely to help us find trouble. "
Leaning back in his chair, Lin Xiang raised his head and stretched his arms. Changing his original serious tone, he said casually, "The second possibility is that the other party spelled my name wrong when setting the permission for the white list."
Because the text display was basically entered with a keyboard, and the content in the chat area was mostly meaningless nonsense, more and more people didn't bother to accurately check the words when entering text, and even all kinds of strange abbreviations appeared. It was quite the feeling of looking at phonetic text in the Earth era.
And spelling wrong words was the most common thing that happened. Especially those warrior users who didn't have the strict character of mages at all. Sometimes, they couldn't express their meaning, and even the situation of grammatical errors often happened.
Regarding this situation, Lin Xiang held a nonchalant attitude and said, "If it's because of spelling my name wrong that the permission for the white list isn't opened to me, this represents the other party's attitude. If they can't even do the most basic respect and spell my name correctly, we can also not care about what the content is. Anyway, it can't be opened, and there's no point in being impatient. "
"Then … don't care about him?"
"Yes, just don't care about him. Anyway, the post has sunk, and we can't open it, so naturally, we can't reply that it can't be opened. Just pretend that we didn't see it. If the matter is very important, the other party will contact us again and use a more formal channel. "
Nodding, Kaya understood and agreed with her teacher's approach.
