Both of them required Magic Apprentices to transcribe diligently. Magic books could be replaced by magic forums, and very few people were still willing to use paper books.
However, this did not mean that paper books would disappear. On the contrary, the status of paper books had increased. It was just like how Lin also planned to use paper to publish journals to raise the status of mathematics and the authority of journals.
Magic scrolls, however, could not be replaced by forums. Only the creator could carefully copy out the magical spell formation that was as exquisite as a work of art, stroke by stroke.
Even though this thing was of little help to a certain someone's combat strength. However, since magic scrolls were used in wars or battles, they could be very useful if used wisely. At the same time, they were also a big source of money for mages. Therefore, the two elders had to be concerned about this matter.
If the printing press could really print magic scrolls, it would be no less than an industrial revolution for the entire Labyrinth. But as a certain someone said, it was a pity.
That was a very beautiful dream. In reality, there was nothing.
Although Great Magician Kabambai had the intention to conduct research on this topic, he didn't want to publicize it before he even had a chance to do so. Thus, he could only remain silent about the Warlock Saint's regret. As for how much of this silence was due to dissatisfaction from being offended, it was unknown.
At this moment, the Warlock Saint's female apprentice, Zalai, served coffee at the right time, breaking this awkward moment. The two sides switched to a relaxed attitude and casually chatted about various aspects of printing, as well as various things that interested each other.
The owner of the VI Tower in the Holy City of Estali, Mage Saint Miladis, and the founder of Kabambai Academy, Grand Mage Kabambai. Although the two of them weren't best friends who could talk about everything, they were still familiar with each other. He knew almost everything that he needed to know. Therefore, the topic would inevitably fall on Lin, who was a stranger to them.
Ever since they had entered the third floor, the Warlock Saint had been observing the actions of a certain someone. On every floor, this young Magician had something amazing about him. However, compared to the fact that he could see through the illusion maze on the third floor and the truth on the fifth floor, Miladis was more interested in how he could solve the maze on the fourth floor so quickly.
There were many ways to achieve the same result as the former. The opposition between illusions and seeing through illusions could be said to be as long as magic had a long history. The two sides had already developed various systems to counter each other. In other words, as long as one could find the right technique or luck, it would not be difficult to see through the illusion.
However, the latter wasn't simple at all. Apart from being extremely lucky, to crack the maze on the fourth floor required knowledge of spatial magic. It wasn't enough to simply know or only know apprentice-level spatial magic.
In addition to understanding spatial magic, one also had to understand how the Magic Tower operated. The Tower Records did not have such in-depth records of the Tower Records, including the triggering mechanism and the concealment method set up by the Tower Records.
Could it be that the secrets of Tower VI were leaked? Although Miladis didn't quite believe in this possibility, he still asked.
"What if I say that because I've seen something similar before, it's not difficult to analyze it? Sir, would you believe me?" Lin replied.
"Have you seen something similar?" Milodiades asked curiously.
"The Star Map Wall of the Tower of the Great Sage. I don't know if you know about it."
With this reminder, some of the Warlock Saint's worries disappeared.
The six towers in the Holy City of Estali, the newly built Towers II to VI, all originated from the original Tower I, which was the Magic Tower built by the Great Sage Anatoly after he returned to the Great Library after the crusade against the Demon King.
The Tower of the Great Sage mentioned by the young Magician was certified to be built by the Great Sage Anatoly in the southwest peninsula in his later years. In terms of time, everyone believed that the Tower of the Great Sage in the southwest peninsula was the last Magic Tower built by Anatoly. The technology used was also the latest and most mature.
However, most of the good things had long been modified, dismantled, and sold by the previous owners of the Tower of the Great Sage. When it finally fell into someone's hands, the only valuable things in the entire Magic Tower were the main body of the Magic Tower, the energy pool on the third floor, and the Star Map Wall on the first floor whose function and structure were unknown.
The Society of Sorcerers did not encourage this kind of behavior, but they did not explicitly forbid it either. This was because the owner of the Magic Tower owned it and did not rent it from the Society. Other than the fact that they could not give it to their own apprentices or children to inherit, they could do whatever they wanted.
For the Society, the bottom line was that the two most important main structures of the Magic Tower and the energy pool could not be destroyed. The Society gave the Magicians the number of floors of the Magic Tower, and in the end, the Magic Tower should be the same number of floors. They could be added on top, but they could not be dismantled.
There were many good things in the six towers of Estali that were dismantled from the Tower of the Great Sage in the southwest peninsula and transported back to the Holy City to be installed in the six towers. Of course, some of them were also lost to other Magic Towers.
The reason why the Star Map Wall was still preserved was because the material used to make it was the hardest in the entire Magic Tower. In terms of structure, the Star Map Wall was a load-bearing wall. If it was casually dismantled, the entire Magic Tower could collapse.
Secondly, the operation of the Star Map Wall was connected to the energy pool of the Magic Tower. There were too many redundant rune structures on it. Before they figured it out, they might not be able to put it back in if they simply dismantled it. Therefore, no one dared to act rashly.
Finally, the most important point was that the wall did not seem to have any other purpose other than recording the movements of the planets in the Maze Star System. Therefore, the Magicians just let it go.
But after hearing what the young Magician said, it meant that there were still secrets on the Star Map Wall. And this secret was enough for this young man to gain insight into the secrets of the space maze on the fourth floor of the VI Tower. Of course, the old Mage Saint was curious, so he asked, "Sir, can you tell me the results of your research on the Star Map Wall?"
"Of course, no problem." If it was knowledge related to the World Tree, Lin Li would not dare to throw it around. That would offend the high officials of the Turtledove Alliance. But the original structure of the Tower of the Great Sage did not have such a psychological burden. Besides, if he did not explain it clearly, the old man would not be at ease. No one would be able to sleep well if the anti-theft devices in their homes were ignored.
The old trick was, of course, the Blank Slate Technique. Lin Li directly reproduced the appearance of the Star Map Wall of the Tower of the Great Sage in mid-air and said, "This is the appearance of the Star Map Wall under normal vision."
With a wave of his hand, the magic runes on the back of the Star Map Wall were displayed. They were very detailed and densely arranged magic runes. "These are the magic runes on the back of the Star Map Wall. Because it is very difficult to analyze, until I took over, no one fully understood what this magic rune was for. So, it was always left in the Tower of the Great Sage and was not taken away. "
"Could it be that you've successfully analyzed it?" Mage Saint Millard asked in surprise.
Lin Li smiled and continued, "This is actually a magic rune with many functions stacked together. You have to take it apart to see what it is. First, the part that connects to the energy pool of the Magic Tower. "
With another wave of his hand, a small part of the originally monotonous yellow lines turned light blue. At the same time, this part of the magic rune was extracted from the original magic rune. Although this part looked very simple, it was the function of the "transformer" and "capacitor" that shouldered the magical power. This was the starting point of why someone was able to change the Tower of the Great Sage beyond recognition in the later stages.
"Next is the part about the operation of the Star Map." Some of the lines turned green and were extracted to form the second layer. "What is used here is the method that astrologers use to calculate astronomy." To put it simply, there was no method. It was purely based on records.
The remaining magic runes still accounted for more than 90% of the original part. However, only about one-third of the lines were changed to red. Lin said, "This part is left behind by Sage Anatoly. It is related to the magic runes used in the Tower of Space Magic. The spatial displacement spell on the fourth floor of the Tower of the Great Sage did not exceed the spatial runes of the Tower of the Great Sage by too much. If there is a difference, it is that the Tower of Space Magic has added a part that is only used by teleportation magic runes to realize the design of the maze that changes the channel blocks. "
At this point, the Mage Saint no longer had any doubts. Indeed, as the Mage said, he was able to decipher the magic runes on the fourth floor because he had studied similar runes before. Although the magic runes with red lines in front of him were slightly different from the ones he had actually set up on the fourth floor, those who were proficient in this field could see that the two were of the same origin. After understanding one of them, it was not difficult to understand the second one.
It was impossible to make up such a thing on the spot to deceive people. Moreover, the Society of Sorcerers had records of the magic runes on the Star Map Wall. After comparing this part, it was easy to verify what the Magician had said.
As for the teleportation magic runes mixed in with the runes, that knowledge was common knowledge in the Lost Land. As long as a Mage wanted to study Space Magic, there were two spells that they had to study. One was the teleportation portal for Third Circle Apprentices, and the other was the teleportation magic runes. It was just that the latter cost too much to set up, so very few people were willing to do it.
However, looking at the young Mage's explanation, Miladis became even more curious. "Sir Cupwood, in the runes on the Star Map Wall that you have shown me, what is the function of the remaining half of the original runes?"
"Oh, this." As a transmigrator, he did not know about this. "The effect of this magic rune is to open up a space that does not exist in the Lost Land to store things. However, the main consumption of power is to maintain the unstable space. As long as the defensive wall of this storage space is broken, the things stored in it will be lost in an unknown place. However, to maintain this space, you will need a magic tower level energy pool. "
Mage Saint Millard's interest was piqued when he saw the effects of magic that he had never seen before.
