Noon was supposed to be the time when the sun was at its brightest and the temperature was highest, especially in the early summer. However, the alley that the seven of them were walking in was not only messy, but also a little shady. This was a distant corner of Pilsen, and the locals were used to calling it the "lower city." Just as everything had a dark side, the lower city also belonged to the dark side of Pilsen.
Thieves, prostitutes, beggars, bandits, and killers were the main residents of this area. If an outsider accidentally broke into such a place without much vigilance, the consequences would be self-evident.
Although there were four dwarves who looked quite old, the actions of the group of seven still seemed rather inexperienced. According to the old thieves who had been observing in the dark for a long time, they were no doubt rookies.
However, the reason why they could walk on this street safely was not because the people hiding in the dark were worried about the dwarves' strength or the unknown means that the magic apprentices had mastered. What really stopped them was the three-feathered bird embroidered on the right arm of Halumi's Magician's cape. It was one of the symbols of the Turtledove Alliance.
The three-feathered bird was the symbol of the Turtledove Alliance that would never change, but there were XIX (19) different colors and colorless ones. The XIX colors represented the XIX High Seats hidden behind them, which were the XIX World Trees. The colorless ones were members who hadn't been accepted by any of the High Seats. Of course, there were also those who didn't want to join any of the High Seats, but were accepted by others in the alliance, so they would also use the colorless three-feathered bird.
The Turtledove Alliance didn't have a good reputation, because they valued mutual help very much. Even if they were members of different High Seats, they would still respond to a single call.
Therefore, when looking for trouble with the Turtledove Alliance, it would often be a one-on-one fight, but it would become a group fight, and most of the time, the other party would beat them up. The most annoying thing was that the other party didn't ask who was right or wrong. This was a problem for both the Order and the Evil Faction, because the other party was unreasonable and only asked if they had offended their people.
This was also why the seven of them, who looked easy to bully, could walk on this street safely. Molgit, who knew the situation in the lower city very well, went from being worried at first to feeling like a good friend going out for a picnic. In the past, she had been warned by her teachers not to enter such a place. Looking at it now, it also felt a little exaggerated.
As for the four dwarves … they were four idiots who didn't know why they were so wary. It was all thanks to the two Magic Apprentices that she hadn't been abducted.
The reason why they were walking in such a place was not because they had nothing better to do. On the second day after arriving in Pilsen City, Hallumi met up with a local member of the Turtledove Alliance and learned from him that there was a mysterious incident behind Pilsen City that had been unsolved for a long time. It was the mysterious disappearance of the people living at the bottom of society.
The reason why the Turtledove Alliance refused to let go was because some of their members were among the missing people. The Turtledove Alliance's unchanging way of doing things had always been the Turtledove Alliance's way of doing things.
However, the members who were in contact with Hallumi only hoped that this newbie would be able to help them.
When he was free, he would pay attention to it. Perhaps there would be clues about the others. However, how could this golden-haired girl be satisfied with just taking a look? She was at the age where she wanted to show her worth, so she chose to take the initiative and search for the missing person.
And in order to find the missing person, Hallumi chose to rely on the dark-haired, brown-skinned girl who had grown up with her.
Although a certain someone had always thought that he had left a back door in the forum, he had never used it. It was really kind of him, and the world was still as harmonious as before.
… But was that really the case?
A long time ago, Kaya had been given the task of collecting information on the forum. Although a certain someone had said that in terms of priority, she still prioritized her studies as a Magic Apprentice, Kaya was so serious that she couldn't be satisfied with spending the time and not being able to complete the task properly.
Therefore, since she was a child, Kaya had been thinking about how to quickly organize and summarize the messy information on the forum in her free time. She had thought of many ways, but not many of them had a significant effect until she officially came into contact with P Language.
The original purpose of a programming language was to replace human labor to carry out simple and boring tasks. When Kaya first came into contact with P Language, she began to think about how to organize and summarize the information on the forum that she did on a daily basis into a program.
Using the functions of search and copy, Kaya quickly turned the work that used to take her a lot of time to do into something that could be done with a single command. All that was left was to enrich the keywords used in the search, which were the key points that she would want to care about.
If things ended like this, then the world would be peaceful again. Unfortunately, of course, that was not the case. Just as Hallumi was at the age when she was rebellious and wanted to express herself, Kaya was at the same age, but she chose a different direction.
Although the backdoor of the forum and what the program could do was not explained in detail, a certain someone did not hide it from the two apprentices and the big sister. Therefore, Kaya's gaze turned to the private sections of the forum with restricted access.
Unbeknownst to her teacher, Kaya had created a super account for herself that was not subject to any restrictions. Of course, with her shallow knowledge of programming, it was not enough to understand the original structure of the forum, let alone crack it. So she found a strong and powerful helper — their big sister to guide her.
The forum, which was rarely maintained and updated, still maintained its original appearance, with only titles, main articles, and replies. There was no time sequence or number of clicks added to these things, and of course, there was no design for things like likes.
Even so, in the framework behind the forum, there was still data retained. There were even browsing records. Because these things themselves were the characteristics of the article's dissemination, timeliness, and so on.
Since these things existed, who knew when someone would go crazy and update the forum and expose these things. So, Kaya researched a way to make the super account invisible. That is, while obtaining the title, main article, and other information, she did not leave any records.
In order to prove that her method of hiding her footprints was effective, Kaya also looked at the log file for a while. She almost vomited after reading it. But it was this action that made her realize that others were trying to do the same thing as her, to collect information on the restricted sections. But those people only thought about bypassing or cracking the restrictions on access. They did not think about hiding themselves.
After memorizing the names of those strange accounts and leaving a log file for their footprints, Kaya returned to her original task, to record and organize the information on the forum.
Before there was a program, because all sorts of sorting and summarizing had to be done manually, Kaya had her own set of rules for sorting. At that time, her teacher would discuss with her which news were important to pay attention to, which were worthless news, which were contradictory news, which were true and which were false, and how to judge.
In order to simplify her homework time and eliminate some worthless news, Kaya trained her own set of judgment logic at that time.
Now, using a super account with the authority to browse the entire forum and using programming language to do what she did before, Kaya, of course, took out that set of judgment logic and applied it to the information with a completely different level of data.
When this part was completed, it was only the sorting and summarizing of the information. After sorting out the entire forum's data, the columns of information were still overwhelming. Even she did not have the patience to look at them one by one, let alone others. So, Kaya began the second round of sorting, mainly to find a way to present and search.
After trying many presentation methods, Kaya finally chose to imitate the star chart drawn by her teacher. And it was divided into two parts. One was to connect all the events with time, place, and cause and effect. Because there was cause and effect between the events, and the events themselves would horizontally affect other events, in the end, Kaya completed a cloud model that was more complicated than the star chart of the universe as an index of the sorted information.
The other was to use people as the main body, drawing a genealogy of people according to their love, hatred, blood relations, marriage, and other interpersonal relationships. It included nobles, magicians, and ordinary people. Of course, there were also people of various races.
If a noble family's inheritance could draw a tree diagram of more than six generations, then it was a very impressive family with a long history. But what Kaya completed was not something that a mere tree diagram could present. What she completed was another cloud, a cloud that connected all three generations of people's ancestors, relatives, and old friends.
And this cloud was connected to the first event cloud. Anyone who was involved, or who was in charge of a certain event, whether they were the perpetrator or the victim, these information could be intertwined and queried.
This set of algorithms was even later used by Finn to build a DNA genealogy cloud that belonged to her. It was because of the existence of this cloud that she could analyze DNA more efficiently, and when she reconstructed her own body, she could efficiently find the parts she needed and imagined.
As for whether or not someone knew about the existence of such an exaggerated thing? As an apprentice, Kaya did not hide it from her teacher. Besides, in every periodic report, Kaya also mentioned relevant information and received praise from her teacher …
But those were of no use at all! Because someone only verbally said nonsense like 'you did well,' but did not look at the contents of the report at all. Kaya noticed this when she checked the data information in the report she submitted. There was not even a single click on the file as a report.
This meant that someone did not even look at it. Or perhaps the account used by her teacher was the same as the result of Kaya's research, which had the ability to not leave behind digital footprints.
But according to her understanding of her teacher as an apprentice, the former possibility was 99.9%.
