"That won't do. The crystal powder and potions used for the processing also cost money. How can I help you without a reward? Why don't we discuss a cooperation plan that's good for everyone? "Although he said that, Lin was more probing and had no intention of forgiving the other party.
The other three didn't say much. They drew their weapons and threatened: "I said, the previous cooperation method was very good. Let's follow the previous method."
Seeing that the one in the middle even flashed a magic dagger, Lin couldn't help but be curious.
That's right, he was curious. Lin craned his neck and asked: "Excuse me, do you really understand what it means to be in a Wizard's Tower?" What kind of trump card did the other party have to be so fearless? Lin thought about it seriously.
"What's the point! In the past few decades, which Wizard who became a Tower Master didn't use this kind of cooperation method? Do you agree or not? "
With a cold face, Lin looked at the three people who were hurling abuse at him, and his anger slowly rose. Before transmigrating, he was a fat otaku, but that didn't mean that he was a wretch who didn't fight back. Thinking of the past rumors about the Tower of the Great Sage, perhaps the real situation was worse than he imagined.
Man is a creature of habit, but also a forgetful one. From the other party's mouth, they learned that in the past few decades, the previous Tower Masters were controlled by the people in the village. Therefore, they took it for granted that the next Wizard would have to do the same and serve them.
Forgetful was because no matter how much the Lost Earth World valued human life, it didn't allow people of the upper class to kill indiscriminately. No matter how strong the martial strength of the people was, there would always be people who would hear about good and evil, and then act chivalrously. But the Lost Earth World was a world with a clear hierarchy. There were aristocrats, royalty, and Wizards who studied all the knowledge in the world and mastered extraordinary martial strength.
With class came privilege. A king wouldn't accept being cursed by a beggar in the royal palace. Dukes and counts wouldn't allow their subjects to point fingers at them in their castles. Wizards were even more unlikely to accept someone shouting at the Tower Master in their Magic Tower.
Within the scope of recognized private residences, the privileged class held the power of life and death in a true sense.
In other words, even if the emperors of the Five Great Empires in this world were killed by the owner of a Magic Tower, they would be killed. The Association would not send an inspector to judge whether the owner of the Magic Tower had broken any laws. Of course, the empire could mobilize its army to retaliate, but that was only a private grudge and did not violate public law.
Therefore, people in the Lost Earth World were always very careful when they entered other people's Magic Towers. They were afraid that if they offended the owner of the Magic Tower, they would die for no reason. This was also why Lin believed that the villagers of this village under the jurisdiction of the Tower of the Great Sage were so forgetful.
Decades of habit had made them think that Mages were easy targets to bully. That was why they had first hurt Hallumi, and now they were looking for trouble.
Lin tapped the ground with his cane impatiently as he listened to the country folk's nonsensical curses. Such a contemptuous attitude naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other party. Standing on the right, a rather impulsive brawny man wanted to rush forward, but he was stopped by the person holding a magic dagger in the middle.
His resentful expression flashed with a cunning gaze. The man probably understood that official Mages were not so easy to bully when they were prepared. Today, including himself, there were only three people here, which seemed a little insufficient.
He said fiercely: "Newcomer, I advise you not to fail to appreciate our kindness. You can't beat us. I'll give you a few more days to think about it. We'll hear your answer in three days. "After saying that, he pulled his two companions and prepared to leave.
Just then, with a bang, the door to the nuclear room was closed, and the defense system of the entire Magic Tower was fully activated. The energy flowing on the bricks formed a strange and ominous pattern, which made the three villagers very frightened. One of them lost his composure and shouted at Lin: "You actually want to kill us, aren't you afraid …"
Lin tapped the ground with his cane, and a mercury droplet shot out from the mirrored energy pool behind him, which immediately pierced through the speaker's head. There was only a finger-sized hole in the forehead, but there was a trumpet-sized hole at the back of the head. This was a spell modified from the Water Arrow spell, and with the addition of a spinning axis, it produced an effect similar to a rifle bullet.
While the other two were still in shock, the two girls who were hiding in the shadows on the left and right held their crossbows and shot the remaining two living people with arrows each.
The magic arrows shot from a military crossbow were not like those from a hunting bow. Normal people could still run and jump after being hit by several arrows. This was especially true for the crossbows that Lin had modified. Coupled with the fact that they were shot at such a close distance, the two arrows pierced through each other. The people who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground, and could only watch in horror as the arrows pierced through their chests and iron breastplates.
As for the guy who was hit by the Water Bullet spell and had a big hole in his head, needless to say, he was completely dead.
The two people who were gasping for breath with their mouths wide open were so frightened that they could not speak. They looked at the girls approaching them in panic. Seeing the two girls throw down the crossbows and draw their daggers, Lin felt a wave of guilt.
On Earth, they were still in elementary school, ignorant and at the age when they were easily tricked by perverted uncles to look at goldfish. In the maze world, they could already slit their own throats and kill people without hesitation.
Although their past adventures were mainly against magical beasts and uncivilized races. But in some remote areas, they had also encountered people who were farmers in the village and bandits outside the village and killed many of them. In this regard, Lin could only try his best to prevent the two girls from becoming bloodthirsty. And this attitude of not caring about life and death was not only necessary to survive in the maze world, but also the performance of a qualified mage.
"Teacher." A voice called out, bringing the man back to his senses. Kaya asked calmly, "What should we do with these three people?"
After thinking about it, Lin said, "Let's hang them outside the tower to dry."
Even though he said that he was doing this to warn some people who harbored ill intentions, But Lin estimated that with the nature of the village, it was more likely that they would be provoked and cause a bigger conflict.
But there was no need to worry about these things. Just like the saying he often heard before transmigrating, "Once your head is shaved, you can't not wash it."
That was why he warned his two apprentices to be vigilant at all times these days and not relax. In the middle of the night, there were uninvited guests.
The light of dozens of torches pierced through the forest. In the surveillance image displayed by the mirrored energy pool, there were both men and women among the people who rushed over angrily. What he was holding in his hand was not a gift of goodwill, but a shiny weapon.
They had no discipline, no formation to speak of, and no tactical means of coordination. They just swarmed forward. But commendably, at least this group of people knew to keep their voices down and speak as little as possible. Although these actions were all seen by Lin.
The gate of the magic tower was closed at night. The structural outer wall of the tower had long been repaired. Although it was not restored to a complete cylindrical tower, there were no broken holes for people to enter and exit.
The group of people tried hard to raise their heads, hoping to find a loophole to kill their way into the tower. But only the three bodies swaying slightly in the cold wind were eye-catching, and it also added to the anger in their hearts.
A debt of blood must be paid with blood.
The anger in people's hearts reached its highest point in an unexpected incident. A man who couldn't see any windows to invade impatiently pushed the gate of the magic tower angrily and found that the careless tower master didn't lock the gate. This unexpected surprise convinced everyone that the goddess of luck was on their side.
Lin, who was watching the surveillance, curled his lips. If it weren't for the fact that killing people outside the tower and killing people inside the tower were two different things, he wouldn't have to sneakily unlock his own gate. In the surveillance image, the people who were sure that they had won were excited as if they had already won.
They gently pushed open the narrow gap that was enough for one person to pass through and peeped at the first floor of the magic tower at night. Night lights were on in the corners, walls, and stairways, and everything was quiet. Everyone filed into the magic tower, and at the same time made the final preparations before the attack. Only one person was left outside the door to prevent someone from attacking from behind.
This was a standard tactic to attack the uncivilized goblins – always be on the alert for attacks from behind. But to use this method to attack the magic tower, Lin couldn't help but criticize. Sure enough, they were a group of people who forgot how terrifying a tower with a master was.
After making sure that the people guarding outside the tower wouldn't enter, Lin touched the control panel. Looking at the interface that was rearranged to resemble the touch panel and keyboard before the transmigration, he felt a sense of nostalgia and familiarity. He gently tapped the first function key, and the set of traps were unfolded in order.
The partition from the first floor to the second floor closed at the same time as the gate of the magic tower. It was so fast that it caught people off guard, especially the dull sound that made everyone understand that they had fallen into a trap.
The lights were all on, and the surveillance image showed a clear scene of people. Some people cursed, some people begged for mercy, some people were at a loss, and some people hurriedly turned around and tried to open the gate of the magic tower.
The next moment, six electric lights struck from six directions, wreaking havoc on the field. The power wasn't great, and there was no way to directly electrocute people or burn them black, but it was enough to temporarily paralyze everyone.
Then came the Poisonous Mist spell, and the light yellow gas began to spread. When it covered the entire floor, it gradually spread upward. The Poisonous Mist spell that Lin had set up with the materials wasn't very toxic, but it would make people breathless and cry. As long as they immediately left the range of the Poisonous Mist, the effect would naturally dissipate. But the premise was that there was a way to leave.
The entire first floor of the magic tower had become a sealed space, and all the intruders were first paralyzed by the electric shock. Many people fell to the ground face down. The pain of the impact almost made their paralyzed bodies jump up. Then the Poisonous Mist drifted over, and even though they knew that they had to leave as soon as possible, no one could move their bodies and could only watch as the light yellow mist was inhaled into their noses and lungs.
Even the weakest poison would be fatal when accumulated in a sufficient dose.
The situation was settled. Lin watched as the only person guarding outside the tower, after giving up knocking on the gate of the magic tower, fled back into the forest in a panic. He mischievously ruffled Hallumi's hair and said, "Go to sleep first. We'll deal with the group on the first floor tomorrow morning. Hang them outside the tower to dry. "
His apprentice pouted, trying to express her dissatisfaction, and angrily fiddled with her fluffy blonde hair. Kaya, on the other hand, simply disarmed herself, returned to the only big bed in the nuclear room, and fell asleep.
