Mystery Makes Me Strong

Bailu City.

The name sounds good, and it expresses people's good wishes to see the dew condensation when they get up early.

Archmage Forrest is working in his mage tower.

He is doing a research: recreating the intelligent computers of ancient times.

There are many people working on this project, and the biggest difficulty is not only technical issues, but also the bans and strikes from the Mage Council.

Just like in the Middle Ages before ancient times, there was also a suppression of technology.

The power of intelligent computers is enough to be called a god, but people in the flame world already know the ending of human beings having an extra god on their heads.

Putting the fate of the collective into the hands of a single person is the most unstable, and it is bound to slide to the most terrible ending.

That's why the Mage Council has issued a ban long ago, strictly prohibiting anyone from researching technologies related to intelligent computers.

But the more prohibited something, the greater the value, so it still can't stop many mages from secretly researching it.

After all, the role of smart computers in managing cities is visible to the naked eye.

With it, you can have fun or improve your strength without spending time and energy on maintaining the operation of the city.

For example, taking care of the white net, maintaining the water cycle, and resisting geological disasters... These things cannot be done by one mage, and often require many mages to work together.

He also wanted to open up the city, but because of his personality and strength, it was difficult to recruit enough subordinates. He wanted to train himself, but also because of his personality, most of his disciples left and were trained by others in vain.

There are always such geniuses who have strong personal strength but are not good at it, or hate getting along with people and don't like socializing.

Forrest is like this. He is withdrawn and arrogant, and he has offended many people.

In the end, the city lord of this city saw his strength, so he recruited him, tolerated him, and gave him a certain number of sacrifices every year, so that he could live forever.

But he was still not satisfied, he didn't want to be called up like a dog in the middle of the night to deal with the terrible fire riot.

With a smart computer, he can build a city by himself and enjoy a long life, instead of working for others, living in other people's cities, and living under the fence.

He has already figured out the principle of intelligent computers.

In order for ordinary machines to generate intelligence, they need an astronomical amount of computing power, and the complexity of computing components is comparable to that of the human brain.

This is naturally very difficult, at least with his power, it will be impossible to do it in hundreds of years, but it will be different if combined with mysterious power.

The spirit of flame is naturally very interested in computers, or in other words, it is interested in highly active electron flow.

As long as you find a way to bind them in it, and then build more elementary computers, using the principle of distributed computing, you can achieve an effect similar to that of intelligent computers.

The key to this is the right Fire Spirit.

You can't choose what is born naturally, you have to choose what is born after death, and it is best to be a smart person.

Flame Man became his chosen target.

It's just that whether you buy it with money or capture it yourself, you are either stupid or dumb.

He was puzzled at first, but later he realized: This is a normal phenomenon. How could there be truly smart people among those uneducated civilians?

All they have is the cunning of small citizens. Their poor knowledge and narrow education level determine that they will not have real wisdom.

The best flame man should be formed after the death of the mage.

However, before a mage dies, he will choose many ways instead of turning himself into a flame man, because that is not rebirth. All his original consciousness and memory will disappear, but his soul will be imprisoned in the flames. Opportunity.

He searched for a long time, and even came up with the idea of ​​hunting down a few mages to make flame men.

However, a few days ago, he met three flame men who entered the city with a caravan, obviously possessing a high degree of intelligence.

He communicated with one of them who seemed rather silly, and found that the education level of the other party was no less than that of ordinary mages.

And it sounds like it's from another world, isn't that even better?

He couldn't imagine how powerful an intelligent computer that combined the knowledge of two worlds would be.

So he used a little trick to trick that fool into the mage tower, and he also bought one and got one free.

It's a pity that during the experiment later, for some reason, an explosion occurred and the two escaped.

But it doesn't matter, he has already set up the tracking spell, and he can catch it back in a short time.

But now, he was looking at the huge tracking disk, on which there was a white light constantly rotating, which was eliminating interference and searching for the target. The tracking spell would periodically send out a mysterious wave, so that the white light could retrieve it.

Looking at it, he suddenly felt a stomachache...

Then he went to the toilet.

It's a pity that he soon understood that it wasn't that he ate his stomach badly, but that there was something wrong with the spell space in his body!

When he discovered this fact, he was terrified.

A mage can live forever, but it is not like a stone, which can be done lying down, and all kinds of dangers need to be eliminated.

The riot in the spell space is one of the deadliest dangers.

Why does he hate the ground fire riots, because this thing can inexplicably resonate with the mage's magic space, thus triggering a riot in the magic space.

The magic space is the foundation of a mage's cultivation, and the key to becoming a mage from an ordinary person lies in it.

An ordinary person must first go through education and learn all kinds of basic knowledge, and then under the guidance of an official mage, use a spell as the foundation, sacrifice to the God of Fire, and then open a small space in the body to preserve this spell.

After successful development, you can become a mage apprentice.

The next thing is how to perfect and expand this spell space, learn and master more spells...

Of course, every time you reserve a spell, you have to sacrifice to the God of Fire.

The price of sacrifice is of course human life.

So every mage is closely related to the city.

The mage is powerful, but he will not kill ordinary people at will, because ordinary people are currency, who would burn their own money to play?

"Damn it, how could this happen!" Forrest mobilized his mana to suppress the riot in the magic space in his body.

At this time, in his spell space, the six spell models that make up most of his strength are conflicting with each other, and one of them is even condensing, which is a precursor to an outbreak.

If this spell erupts, it is equivalent to igniting a grenade in his stomach, and the consequences can be imagined.

"No, I want to sacrifice! Only the God of Fire can solve my problem!"

"Lack, hold a large-scale sacrifice for me right away, the kind that requires 10,000 people!" He reluctantly shouted into a communicator hanging on the wall.

"Ten thousand people? Teacher, our share this year is only six hundred people." His only disciple, Lak, was also the most loyal disciple, so he ran away early...

Of course, Lak's loyalty is relative to the group of mages. To those ordinary people, he himself is still a brutal and powerful mage.

"Then go borrow it and use my future share as collateral! Hurry up!" Forrest yelled.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Lak's panicked voice came, followed by hurried footsteps.

"Why are you running around, call them directly!"

"Oh, teacher, I'll call right away."

Forrest's disciple, Lak didn't know what happened to the teacher, so he could only call honestly and ask the mages to borrow money.

But Forrest is an unlikable character in his own right, and he's doubly unlikable because he's such a genius.

His misfortune is something that all mages love to hear.

Only one mage agreed to Lark's request, and that was the city lord. The city lord didn't like Forrest either, but considering the other party's strength, he agreed to borrow money.

Lark finally borrowed a quota of 10,000 people.

The entire Bailu City has a population of 1.3 million, and it consumes 10,000 people at a time, which is definitely not a small number.

According to the scientific statistics of the mages, the theoretical human death rate is 7/1000, which means that this city can consume 9,100 places every year without loss.

With the assistance of the Internet, everyone will be collected before they die, except for accidental deaths.

It's just that some are a month in advance, and some can only be a few hours in advance.

A sacrifice is about to take place.
