Magic Tower Starry Sky

In the village outside the tower, ghosts and monsters from all walks of life came to visit, and the increasingly creepy atmosphere also infected the three masters and apprentices who lived in the tower of the great sage.

The main reason is that there are more and more people gathering, and the original houses are still insufficient after repairs. The original agreement between Lin and the people outside the tower was to use the wasteland at will.

But when you want to reclaim the land, or cut down a large number of trees, you must first obtain his consent. So every time a new person is added, the oldest elder will bring someone to the tower to ask for instructions. Then every time Lin had to face the misleading verbal temptations from both sides, and made a request to himself by the way.

Lin really wanted to ask this group of people if it was because he had never expressed any opinions, so everyone regarded himself as an idiot who didn't understand anything. Many verbal temptations, I understand to the point that I can no longer understand them, so I barely mention them by name. And Lin's consistent style of doing things, he doesn't ask about the origin or the purpose, and just nods when people come. Just doing this seems to have fueled the arrogance of this group of people, making their behavior more blatant.

I'm getting impatient to hear these things, and I can't just leave it to the two little apprentices to deal with, otherwise the previous situation of the two girls being pestered by routines will repeat itself. And Lin didn't want to expose those **** lies, and open up a conversation with these people, because it was easy to get involved in things that Lin didn't want to be involved in. Isn't it precisely because I am afraid of trouble that I turn a blind eye and close one eye.

This is also the reason why there is a strange low pressure shrouded in the magic tower these days. The most ideal situation is that all those people outside the tower get out, but I have no reason to drive them away. This is not the usual practice of the master of the magic tower: to drive out ordinary people in the territory.

The less ideal situation is the current situation, but you have to endure the temptation and false affection of those people.

The next worst thing you can do is showdown with everyone. Then the trouble arises, there are winners and losers in every decision you make.

There's nothing worse than having a showdown and getting into some trouble because of it, from which you can't get out. At that time, I wanted to cry but had no tears.

But that village wasn't all trouble and nothing good. Now that the number of people is gathering more and more, it is actually inappropriate to use the level of 'village' to call it. Walls built of bricks and stones, various functional shops have been established, and the human gathering place in the territory of the Great Sage's Tower has already taken the shape of a small town.

The livestock farms that specialize in supplying the items requested by tower owners in lieu of taxes have also expanded. In addition to cattle and sheep, the number of horses has increased abnormally. And those are not ordinary rough horses, it is reasonable to say that they are military horses used by knights.

However, Lin did not ask for an increase in the daily milk supply and the monthly cheese supply. Because these things are all to be eaten, if you hand in too much, it is a waste if you can't finish it. So he declined the villagers and offered to increase the tribute request.

However, the villagers still use the method of handing over money to actively increase taxes in disguise. This time, Lin accepted. Like the previous reason, taking what should be taken or not will make people worry about whether they have any bad intentions. If you take more and take less, you don’t want to delve into it. Lin doesn't want to care about whether anyone is using his own name to embezzle or exploit.

So there was such a strange situation, as a man who traveled through the crowd, he didn't want to terraform or modernize a piece of his own territory, but somehow the population increased by itself, and the tax revenue also increased. And it still looks like a thriving scene, which makes people watching it feel unspeakably weird and...disgusting?

Every day when I woke up, Lin was thinking about when the weird situation in that village would be broken, and when it would be broken down. It's just that more and more people gathered, and he himself felt confused.

Knowing how to play business games does not mean being able to actually manage a gathering place where human beings live. Although he didn't need to worry about most things, and Lin tried his best not to care about those messy things, there were still many things that only he could decide, piled up in front of him.

It seems that when there is a dispute, someone has to come forward for arbitration. Although there are many old people in the village, all of them have the same qualifications here, and no one can convince anyone, so they can only ask the tower owner to come forward to make a decision. Lin let go and asked everyone to form a collegiate council to discuss and deal with such incidents. Then the decisions and regulations of the members of the collegiate council were placed on Lin's desk again.

All kinds of big and small things make a man who is proficient in the Glory series and various simulation games feel like he has opened a real-time management game with a god-level difficulty, and it still has no fixed menus and commands. The most annoying thing is that this ghost game has the variable of NPC emotion, but there is no numerical data to judge.

It would be great if there was a traversal system that reminded those whose loyalty increased by 10 or decreased by 20, or who were in a low or high mood. Unfortunately, no. The game of life in the Lost World is as difficult as that on Earth. Lin was a highly educated Lu Snake before, and he didn't become a life victory group here. At most, he was Lu Snake 2.0 Magic Edition.

If those people in the village are a little bit ambitious, they can directly elevate the power of the tower master to manage the territory. Even the group of people who were wiped out before drove the owner of the magic tower back. But these people ask for instructions and report on everything. Lin felt that these people were not afraid of him, but just wanted to find a reason to drag him into the water, so they maintained such a relationship.

If I really want Lin to comment on the two groups of people before and after the village was destroyed, this group of people is even more difficult to deal with than the group of stunned youths who killed the tower before. At least these people know how to use their brains instead of hard work. Without a good reason, Lin couldn't kill these obedient citizens arbitrarily, even if obedience was just their disguise.

And the days of pretending to be stupid are still going on, but according to Lin's observation, the trouble seems to be continuing, and the degree is on the rise.

Just like one day, the old man who first came to negotiate with Lin appeared in the hall of the Tower of the Great Sage again and made a strange request.

"Want to organize a militia?" Lin once again confirmed the other party's request.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Tower Master. Because the population in the town has increased greatly, there have been more travelers coming and going. We wonder if we should organize a militia team to clean up the forest in addition to maintaining order in the town. The monsters and uncivilized races in the world, and guard the safety of the town. This way, you don’t have to disturb the peace of the tower owner because of some small disputes, and even ask your students to intervene.”

They call themselves small towns. As for the reason that sounded very upright, Lin said indifferently: "I have no objection to this. Just think about it clearly."

"Yes. Thank you very much for your generosity, the Tower Master."

In the next few days, in the surveillance footage of the town, the militia was established, and a ceremony such as a swearing-in meeting was held with great pains. But in Lin's opinion, is that the militia? It is no problem to say that it is an army, except that the number is far from enough. But in terms of weapons and equipment, this is not an ordinary army, but an elite.

Most of the members who identified this militia were those who followed the old man at first, and those who joined this group of people later. This group of people is also the largest group among the members of the small town. From the looks of it now, it might be a... remnant of a certain force?

Because if someone has evil intentions and intends to raid the Tower of the Great Sage from that small town. Then the ceremony of becoming an army is undoubtedly a shocking act, which is very unwise. If it was a team of adventurers or a mercenary organization, there would be no need to stage such a farce in a magician's territory. It is more reasonable to say that this group of people is an aristocratic force.

It's just the power of the nobility, how could it come to the territory of the magician? Want to annex the magic realm? If it is in the territory of the five empires, some powerful nobles who are not afraid of the Magicians Association will have such considerations. However, in the situation in the Southwest Peninsula, the strength of the Magicians Association is even stronger than that of a country. Any nobleman who has such an unreasonable idea must be extinct.

Therefore, according to Lin's judgment, the most likely scenario is that this group of people is a group of nobles who were kicked out of their original territory. Just as I expected when we first met, it was a lot of trouble. I only regret it now. I didn't think of a reason to refuse at the beginning, and it was too late.

In the next few days, a name came to Lin's ears: 'The Frankish King's Royal Revival Army'.

The Frankish Kingdom, among the thirteen countries on the southwestern peninsula of the mainland, is considered to be the most powerful country. At the same time, the Great Sage's Tower is also located within the scope of this kingdom, close to the Viscount Lorenz to which it belongs, and is on the edge. Incidentally, the first inn in the town, and also the largest one, was established by Viscount Lorenz and the villagers at that time. It can also be regarded as the hero who brought the prosperity of the town.

As for the Frankish Kingdom about a year ago, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was the most discussed country on the forum, because the king was killed by his own ministers, and the royal family was almost wiped out. To be honest, I can't blame the minister, who told the king to sleep with his wife, and even took advantage of it verbally.

If the power of the royal family is greater than that of the nobles, nothing bad will happen except for wearing a few green hats. However, the royal family is in decline, the ministers are prosperous, and the balance of power is reversed. If you still go to sleep with his wife at this time, you are looking for death. As a result, it is indeed dead.

In this case, the kingdom was dissolved and the nobles went their separate ways. For ordinary people, life is still the same. The minister who murdered the king had no intention of replacing him. After saving his wife who was crippled by others—really crippled, with an arm cut off by the king—he returned to his territory. Let the whole country fall into chaos.

On the contrary, several other nobles with similar strength have their own thoughts.

Almost all the members of the royal family of the Frank Kingdom were killed, except for the eldest princess who was not in the royal city at the time, but lived in a monastery—Mira Salian, the eldest sister of the original king. After the rebellion, the eldest princess disappeared from the monastery. Until now, it appeared in front of my eyes.

Lin looked at the noble man who had royal blood, but because he was not welcomed by his younger brother who was the king, he almost spent his whole life in the monastery. The suffering did not bring her any negative emotions, coldness and perseverance brought straight lines to that beautiful face. In her expression, there is no aristocratic pride, but more of an indescribable self-confidence. It is a kind of self-recognition from the inside out, not a false cognition of being great by virtue of blood.

... troublesome woman.
