The intelligence of the masses was quite low.
On the forum, the original condemnation of the Tower of the Great Sage for killing all the soldiers and nobles above the rank of Vbar was twisted into a discussion about the queen who had changed her name to Yulia III. She was very beautiful and very powerful. What was her nickname among the temple warriors of the mysterious church?
"White Mist," Yulia III's Christian name was quickly guessed. Because of the mysterious church, there was only one temple warrior active in the southwest peninsula. If this guess could be wrong, it could only be said that the mysterious church had hidden too deeply. As for the person involved, she didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either.
By the way, after the coronation, the army gathered by the mysterious church dispersed again after a period of time. They were originally a theocratic military force that dealt with troublesome affairs in various places individually or in small groups. They would gather into an army for some reason, but this kind of organization was usually temporary and wouldn't last long.
The original intention of Yulia III keeping this army was to increase her prestige and show her face. When all the affairs of the kingdom were back on track, they were dismissed and returned to their daily affairs. After all, she herself didn't need this military force to boost her courage or protect her. However, the churches in various places inevitably had miscellaneous affairs that required the military force of these people to deal with.
The wisdom of the masses was also great.
This was because ever since the strategic spell improved by the Tower of the Great Sage was revealed to the public, countless mages had been discussing how to achieve the same effect.
Since the complete process of the light bomb attack was seen by the town's residents, this group of professional spies, naturally, it was publicized in great detail. Then, the strange behavior of the Arcane Eye before the light bombs flew everywhere fell into the eyes of the observant people.
Everyone knew that in order to lock onto a target, the target had to be within the range of the spellcaster's sight. If the enemy couldn't be seen, there was no way to accurately throw the spell at the enemy. Originally, only curse-type spells could break this rule. Even so, to curse someone from a long distance, a medium related to the target was also needed to cast the spell successfully.
Then, what about using other long-distance observation spells to complete the spell's lock? Before the case of the Tower of the Great Sage fighting against the army came out, the sorcerers would have scoffed at such a hypothesis.
But now that there was a successful strategic-level spell that could distinguish friend from foe, in order to achieve the same effect, the Arcane Eye spell, which could only be used to see, entered everyone's vision. Some people even began to deduce the method of implementation.
And this inference also led to a new way to use magic, which was to combine magic. In Lin's eyes, this was an old joke that had been played over and over in countless anime and manga. However, it had opened a door for the magicians in the maze world.
According to the original theory of magic in the Lost Earth World, a spell could only bring about one effect. If they wanted different effects, they would have to learn other spells or research and create their own. Different spells could be used in sequence to form a set of tactics. Or, some magic traps could be used in combination to bring about more effective killing effects.
Basically, the effect of every spell was used on the target or purpose. In the Lost Earth World, there had never been a case where the effect of a spell was to serve another spell, and the two spells had to be cast at the same time.
There was a lack of such understanding. Most importantly, all magicians thought that "people" were still the main body of casting spells. And one person couldn't cast more than two spells at the same time.
But Magic Towers, or the effective use of magic arrays, could skip this line of thinking. Magic Towers used magic arrays that had been set up in advance and could be quickly cast when necessary. Spells that normally had to be prepared for a long time.
Then, as long as the design and control were right, a magician could cast multiple powerful spells at the same time. At this time, it depended on the designer's imagination to decide whether to cooperate or combine the spells. And what would the effect be?
There was no doubt that the Tower of the Great Sage was a successful example. It also made the tower owners all over the southwest peninsula reexamine the layout of their magic towers. Even the materials for the Arcane Eye spell in the tower became very popular.
Lin Te learned all of this from the forums on the ground under Kaya's reminder. He had to admire the netizens in the Lost Earth World for their superb ability to deduce seventy to eighty percent of the principle of the improved version of the light bullet attack array. This was also the main reason why Lin Te praised the wisdom of the masses.
But such a discovery also made him feel a little sad. The main reason was that the incomplete tower needed the Arcane Eye spell.
The Arcane Eye spell in the Tower of the Great Sage still lacked an important supplementary material, the tendons of high-level magical beasts. Using ordinary magic paint to carve the energy channel to transmit magic power and authority would put a time limit on the Arcane Eye spell used by the tower. If the time limit was exceeded, all the base materials for the spell would be destroyed.
Using the phenomenon on Earth as an example, it would be using too thin wires to use high-power appliances. If used for too long, the wires could overheat and misfire. If unlucky, the whole house would burn.
Using the tendons of high-level magical beasts to replace the energy transmission channel would allow the Arcane Eye to monitor the tower 24/7. The tendons of high-level magical beasts were not difficult to find. The difficult part was that they had to be long enough and complete. Only then could they replace the two main energy transmission channels.
Such materials could only be found by chance. It had been almost a year since Lin Te made the request, and he hadn't found a single magical beast tendon, even if it was just passable.
Now that the Tower's Arcane Eye spell was popular, the demand for the relevant materials would definitely increase. Then his competitors would increase. Not to mention that the tendons of magical beasts had other uses, not only for the construction of the Arcane Eye spell.
Using a more malicious way of thinking, he speculated that perhaps the person who had this material was not willing to sell it to him. Whether it was simply because they hated him, or because they wanted to achieve a certain degree of blocking of the original material to hinder his research.
Lin Te's thoughts were mainly guessed from the purchase process of the golden skeleton series parts.
The golden skeleton parts owned by the Sika branch were bought by Lin early on, and the items were quickly delivered. But the parts other than the left hand were in the hands of the other branches in the southwest peninsula. It took more than half a year to order from the shops of the other branches to get the goods.
And this was to buy a strange item that was regarded as useless in the eyes of others, yet it was treated with such a negligent attitude.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that the other branches should pay Lin Te for the delivery of the magic knowledge of the browser while delivering the goods. Only the Sika branch agreed to establish the Richard the Great Magician Fund. The other branches didn't have a place to spend the money for the time being, so they could only accept the gold coins.
Although the conditions were the same as the Sika branch, that is, half of the commission belonged to the association. But looking at the guards who escorted the money and goods, and the magicians who blocked the line full of disdain and hostility, Lin knew that his reputation in the other branches was definitely not good.
Although he didn't know what the main reason was, he also knew that there were many reasons that could cause such emotions.
With the idea that it was better to have less trouble, he didn't bother with them. The most important thing was to get the item. At most, if he needed to buy things from other branches in the future, he would still entrust the manager of the Sika branch, who was familiar with him, to deal with it.
But in the recent pile of troubles, there was still a piece of good news. The news came from the manager of the Chamber of Commerce who accepted his commission to go to other parts of the Maze Continent to find the strange item – the left hand of the golden skeleton. That was, the item was already in his hands, and he was about to return to the Tower of the Great Sage in two months … This was really worthy of celebration, this damn world.
In general, the Tower of the Great Sage annihilated the aristocratic coalition, which was enough of a deterrent for most of the forces with bad intentions.
Especially more than a year ago, they used the branch's most powerful weapon – the airship to visit the Leon branch of the Tower of the Great Sage. From the president Jose Carlos, to the captain Khunka Carlos, to a group of related people gathered together to discuss the attack pattern displayed by the tower.
Until a while ago, there were still young magicians who appeared to be full of confidence in the airship attack on the tower. From time to time, they discussed what would have happened if they had launched the attack on the tower. Countless ideas and rehearsals, but they never thought about the possibility of losing. They only discussed a hundred ways to abuse the tower.
This time, when the incident spread, the people who were in charge of the attack were silent at the same time. Using the Arcane Eye to lock onto the target, and then using countless light bullets to carry out precise attacks, was this attack pattern suitable to deal with the airship?
A few young people who were in charge of the attack wanted to argue that perhaps this attack pattern hadn't been formed at that time. If they had launched the attack at that time and nipped the disaster in the bud, they wouldn't be in such a predicament today. The supremacy of the airship was challenged. This was a fundamental blow to the confidence of this group of young magicians who worked hard to become members of the airship team.
"Is that so?" The president's favorite student, Great Magician Juan Javier, played with a hunter's hat with a large feather. It was this feather that dispelled the president's determination to use the airship to attack the tower.
Now it seemed that the owner of that feather should have died under the Tower of the Great Sage's lock-on attack. And the airship's flexibility was far inferior to that of flying magic beasts. So it wasn't hard to imagine the outcome of the attack on the tower at that time.
Several examples showed that the Tower of the Great Sage couldn't be dealt with using a frontal attack. Whether it was an attack launched by a team of inspectors from the inside of the tower or an attack by the army from the outside, it only added to the argument that the Magic Tower was an indestructible war fortress.
But there were always ways to break through in war. Nothing was absolute. Even if there seemed to be, it was just that the solution couldn't be found at this stage.
Because of the actions of the Tower of the Great Sage's Tower Master, there were losses caused by the loss of blood relatives in the tower. These people wouldn't recall the reason for the enmity in the first place, they would only remember what they lost. Since brute force didn't produce results, then use wisdom to deal with the hateful enemy. And magicians were never a group that lacked wisdom.
In the dark of night, somewhere in the forest outside the Tower of the Great Sage, a magic array outlined with blood was gradually taking shape.
