Every energy pool, regardless of the basic principle behind its construction, was connected to another plane or contained some kind of great power. Then, it would slowly extract and release a large number of chaotic eight authorities. Then, through the energy channel, it would be connected to a magic array, and through the magic array, it would be converted into an orderly and quantitative arrangement of authorities, thus producing a corresponding effect.
As long as the instantaneous consumption of energy did not drain the energy pool and destroy its balance, the energy pool would be able to restore its limit in the Main Plane over time. This was why every energy pool could theoretically operate semi-permanently.
And once the energy pool was completed, it would leave a mark in the Main World. It might be a series of complicated authority codes, or a meaningless arrangement of words. Mages could use this mark to do some simple message transmission. This kind of transmission was real-time, but it was also very costly.
If it were not for the other tower owners who owned energy pools and knew the mark of the target tower, communication between mages would still be mainly through letters. The only exception was the Association in charge of managing mages and magic towers. They often used this kind of transmission method, on one hand for timeliness, and on the other hand, to highlight the importance of information.
What did it sound like? Knowing an IP address and going to his home's message board to leave a message. This was the first thought that came to Lin's mind when he first heard about this function.
In fact, in the past ten years of studying and researching magic, he had been learning how to use mental power or other mediums as a guide to arrange and combine the eight authorities to perform magic. Aside from mental power and mediums, the part of arranging and combining was similar to writing computer programs on Earth.
The difference was that the basic elements of computer programs on Earth were two-digit 0s and 1s, but in the Maze World, it was based on eight authorities. In other words, the starting point was eight digits. Lin had a deep understanding of this in his years of studying magic. When he came to the magic tower and saw this super-large circuit board, he was almost convinced that it was feasible.
In the following days, Lin mainly drew the star map at night because he could observe the stars at night. During the day, apart from guiding the magic progress of his two apprentices, he focused on the programming of the Magic Tower's computerization.
And to computerize the Magic Tower was not to make a game, to relive the old dream of Super Mario, or the thrill of mowing the grass in the Three Kingdoms. After all, Lin's work at night was to draw the star map, and it was inevitable that he would have to do astronomical and physical calculations.
The calculations were huge and complicated. Without the help of a computer, the dream of going home would be like a bubble, gorgeous and untouchable. If the Magic Tower's computerization could be realized to the extent that he envisioned, then maybe, just maybe, there was a slight possibility that he could go back to Earth..
But all this beautiful dream, he had to first deal with the following trouble: a team of inspectors from the Society of Sorcerers.
A five-man combat team with at least one archmage was responsible for investigating the sorcerers' illegal activities or evidence of their crimes. They had the power to arrest and suspend a mage's authority, and they could kill anyone who refused to comply. They could be considered the police and judges of the sorcerers of the Sorcerers.
The legal system of the Lost Earth World was not primitive. The various laws and punishments were clear to a certain extent, but in terms of evidence collection, it was still not very impressive. And this team of the village of Sorcerers of the Sorcerers of Sorcerers Lin thought to himself, and at the same time, he had a rough idea of what they were going to do.
In view of the fact that there were not many sorcerers who were good at prophecy spells or summoning the souls of the dead that could explain everything clearly, and the cost was quite high, these methods could not be used as usual.
In order to confirm a crime, there was no doubt that witnesses and physical evidence were needed. When the whole village testified at the same time that a sorcerer, as the master of the Tower, went into the village and slaughtered the villagers, and the physical evidence was the dozens of corpses hanging outside the tower.
Based on the situation in the World of Sorcerers, Lin's punishment was almost certain. What was left was to ask the person involved if he had any excuses, then take away his identity as the master of the Tower and bring him back to the court of the Society for trial. Or kill him on the spot and bring his head back to the court.
If the person involved was wrongly accused and was willing to pay the price of hiring a sorcerer who could prophecy or summon souls to prove his innocence, then the group of people who made the false accusation would in turn be punished by the inspectors for false accusation. However, it was obvious that the sorcerers who had been the master of the Tower of the Great Sage in the past did not have such financial resources, and neither did Lin now.
However, Lin was not going to sit and wait for his death, because the inspectors' request was only to present strong enough evidence, and did not necessarily have to use any method to achieve this goal. Then for a twenty-first-century youth who had transmigrated from Earth, there were quite a lot of methods, and they were already prepared. After all, his own father was a lawyer, and even if he did not take advantage of legal loopholes, he still had to know how to protect himself.
While waiting, on a quiet programming afternoon, Halloumi, who should have been practicing magic in the research room, hurriedly ran into the nuclear room and said, "Sir, sir, the guest is here."
He casually moved the trackball on the right side of the control panel, and the mirror of the energy pool changed to the view outside the tower. There was no one in sight, but there was smoke produced by two fireworks in the sky not far away, the first was red, white, and blue smoke, and the second was yellow smoke.
Some groups with special identities would use this method to inform others of their arrival. The first tri-colored smoke represented the district branch of the Society of Sorcerers that Lin belonged to, and the second smoke represented the inspector's identity. So it was very obvious who was coming.
Saving the half-written program and closing it, Lin ordered his apprentice beside him, "Go and inform Kaya, we'll go to the first floor to welcome the guest together."
The opened door of the Magic Tower soon welcomed five Mages, three of whom had two golden tassels embroidered on their robes, describing their identity as Archmages. Without exception, the people who entered the door were glowing with magic light of various colors, which meant that everyone had cast all the defensive means and auxiliary spells they could use on themselves. Their weapons were also placed in handy positions, ready to be taken out at any time. One of them did not carry a staff, a sword, or anything like that, but instead, his ten fingers were shrouded in mist of different colors.
This group of battle-savvy Mages knew very well the significance of walking into a Magic Tower controlled by someone else. Naturally, they would not be unprepared and naive to think that the prestige of the inspector alone could scare a Mage who could become the master of the tower to tears. If a fight really broke out, it was expected that they would lose a few people, but they were also confident that they would definitely be able to kill the master of the tower here.
However, the master and apprentice who were standing on the first floor to welcome them dispelled the inspectors' doubts, because this represented the goodwill of the master of the Magic Tower.
For them, breaking through layers of traps to go to the third floor and then killing a Mage who was backed by an energy pool and could cast almost unlimited spells were two completely different things from killing a Mage within sight. Being willing to reveal his true identity meant that the other party had no intention of fighting.
However, the inspectors still did not let down their guard, and the leader, a Great Mage with a body full of muscles, said, "Sir, I believe that the previous message has already informed us of the purpose of our visit. Please cooperate with us. "
"Of course, sirs, please follow me to the nuclear heart room. I will show you the images as evidence. "
Seeing that the five inspectors nodded in agreement, Lin said, "Please." Then, he led the way up the stairs with his two apprentices.
Arriving at the nuclear heart room on the third floor, Lin walked to the control panel and began to operate it. He did not care at all about the inspectors who were faintly forming a formation behind him. It was not unheard of for the master of the tower to kill the intruder after letting down his guard. So, Lin did not care whether the other party was rude or not. He just explained what he was going to do to avoid misunderstandings.
The two apprentices retreated to the side and waited. In front of a group of official Mages and Great Mages, they were not even qualified to speak. Lin, on the other hand, skillfully operated the results of the programming in the past few days. A small screen of light and shadow appeared in front of the control panel and was simultaneously displayed on the mirrored energy pool.
It made its debut in front of outsiders, and the first web browser of the maze world was opened. Although there were only function buttons and a list of URLs at the top, the content below was blank. There was no search engine page, and there was no home page of any entry website.
In fact, in just over ten days, Lin felt that he had outdone himself by completing the communication protocol and setting up the domain name server and web server. The rest of the time was to create an additional forum website. Speaking of which, the language of the maze world was a phonetic alphabet, which was much easier to restore the software and programs mainly built by Westerners on Earth. Many concepts could be directly applied without thinking about how to convert.
After entering a short text in the URL list, the page immediately led to the only completed website. The title was the big word "forum," and the functions in the upper right corner were four simple functions: Registration, Login, Search, and Description. There were two discussion areas below, namely "Tower of the Great Sage" and "Miscellaneous."
Lin directly touched the light screen in front of the control panel with his finger and entered the "Miscellaneous" discussion area. Then, he clicked on the only discussion string: "The Beginning and End of the Villagers' Attack on the Tower of the Great Sage." There were two video files in it. The video was divided into nine sections. Eight scenes were inside the Tower of the Great Sage, and one was outside the gate of the tower.
The first video was the first wave of representatives from the three villages, starting from the moment they entered the Tower of the Great Sage, to the moment they spouted evil words in the core room and were killed. The second video was the night when the villagers walked out of the forest with torches and were locked on the first floor of the magic tower. An electric shock paralyzed them until the poisonous fog filled the air. Then, it was a long time until morning, when Lin came out to purify the air and finish the job. The whole process was accompanied by audio, but there were no subtitles.
