Chapter 1,376 A Moment of Peace
The same whalebone tavern, the same magician, the same drinker, the same relaxed and comfortable appearance.
The difference is that someone has a bead chain belt on his waist. The two unsheathed long swords that were inserted into his waist when walking were now placed casually on the table.
The ambush a few days ago was as if it had never happened. In less than a day and night, the area had been tidied up to the point where no trace of fighting could be seen. The same goes for the remains that were difficult to clean up, and they were cleaned up.
On the contrary, it was the remains of the two giant dragons that caused some disputes. One of the parties causing the commotion was the envoy from Dragon Island.
Although the dominant ethnic group on Dragon Island is the ethnic groups of metal dragons and color dragons. Today, as the relationship with the Karlsruhe Empire has eased, there are also many human beings who are good at camping on the island.
These people serve the Dragon Clan and are even proud of their devotion. And the dedication here is not just to help the Dragon Clan with things, but even things between the bed and sometimes the dinner table.
If a certain time traveler were to judge, these people would be crazy fans of the Dragon Clan. And if such people make trouble within the empire, it will be more troublesome than if the Dragon Clan comes directly to make trouble. Because of their status as Homo sapiens and their growth experience, they know better than the dragons where the weaknesses of human society are, and they are naturally able to pinpoint them.
But on Lin's side, no one is making trouble for the time being. Even the messengers of the Dragon Clan are the same.
Thanks to a group of people being released that day, the battle process was naturally spread. Being able to single-handedly wipe out the attackers who ambush him, and kill two giant dragons together, the title of dragon slayer is firmly hung on the head of a certain magician.
Such a person is certainly not a good candidate for provocation. Whenever you offend someone, your life is lost, and no one may be willing to come forward to avenge you. Therefore, the group of Dragon Island envoys who only dared to pretend to be powerful chose to ignore a certain magician who had newly won the title of Dragon Slayer.
However, during the cleaning process of the dragon's remains, there were still some usable parts left. All these things were collected and sorted out by the poor people who worked as scavengers, and flowed into the black market in the Port of Azores.
The envoys of Dragon Island are mainly pursuing the dragon remains in this area. It is said that the Dragon Tomb is the sacred home of the dragons. No matter where they fall, they must enter the Dragon Tomb intact before their souls can return to the embrace of the Dragon God.
No one believes this nonsense, but no one dares to question it face to face. Those who dare to question should first consider whether they have the ability to deal with the dragon's wrath. Be a bitch, build a memorial arch, and beat the hell out of others without even saying a word. Playing hypocrisy and violence together to the extreme is today's Dragon Island.
But it's not that no one wants to cause trouble for a certain magician, it's just that the people who are qualified to cause trouble haven't come forward yet.
The envoys of Dragon Island are, to put it bluntly, just a group of villains. A certain magician even killed two giant dragons. Will he be afraid of these people's verbal threats? Therefore, the follow-up of the two giant dragons can only wait for the dragon clan to come forward.
On the other side, hundreds of strong men died, which was different in nature from the mixed brigade that died before.
When all the established troops are dead, the lost nobles will feel distressed, but only for a moment. But after a large team died, the people sent to ambush a certain magician were all well-known old and new strong men in the Karlsruhe Empire.
If you don't have certain abilities, you won't be accepted by the person who leads the ambush. After all, the target is a magician who can kill an army of thousands of people by himself.
But what they didn't expect was that even if they took out the darlings and gold-medal thugs of each family, there would still not be enough for them to fight.
At this point, those who were hiding in the shadows and plotting were forced into a corner and had no way to retreat. Because the strong men who were sent to ambush a certain magician also had relatives, friends, teachers, and apprentices. These people who can make friends with strong people will not be lambs at the mercy of others.
The social circle established around these strong people will in turn force the people who indirectly killed the strong people to make a responsible statement at this time. This is not to say that people in this social circle really miss the dead person. They just want to take advantage of this opportunity to find some enemies and squeeze out some benefits. The point is they don’t come forward on their own.
No matter how the situation changes under the table, the tranquility Lin enjoys now is just a moment before others take action. But being calm does not mean that Lin has the same leisurely mood.
The Haggiris who were originally chattering in the sub-dimensional tower changed to the main plane of the lost land. Lin naturally became one of them, constantly discussing and calculating various ideas without even a moment's leisure. You know, there is no need to rest in Shakiri.
In fact, Lin didn't hate doing research with the Haggiris. Speaking of robots and Haggiri, there is another difference here.
The robots' research is more towards the application level, how to support a larger caliber gun barrel and how to squeeze more horsepower from the engine. Where is the compromise between size and flexibility given the limitations of body weight.
The research of Haggiri is closer to the academic discussion of the theoretical school. All content refers directly to two major disciplines, mathematics and physics.
In comparison, Lin preferred to spend his time discussing with the Haggiris. In addition to preferring to do research in this area, you can also consider it from the perspective that is beneficial to you. What the robots discussed would not be of much use to a living human being; however, what the Haggiris studied, he had the opportunity to use to improve the magic system that is the foundation of his life.
So in this moment of leisure, Lin and the Haggiris who had returned to the Landlord Plane were reviewing and improving after the actual combat demonstration the day before yesterday.
A major focus is on the Khan command tower, how to achieve more efficient command and operations, and even add a certain degree of prediction to improve efficiency while reducing the computational burden. Instead of relying on computing power, arbitrarily using exhaustive methods to traverse all possibilities to arrive at the answer.
The reason why Khan is researching this aspect is not because he expects to be able to command more hakiri at the same time and fight.
According to it, most of the hakakiri left in the land were collected by members of the Holy Sword Club and then cut off by someone. The number of Haggiris still living outside is probably only in the single digits. There may even be less than they know, if any of their companions disappeared silently during this time.
The reason why we hope to improve the performance of computing is simply to retain more computing power so that more operations can be performed at the same time. It should be noted that one of the characteristics of Haggiris is that they are innately capable of multi-threaded computing. Moreover, there is no limit on the number of cores, and any calculation can be started directly until its computing power is fully occupied.
With the same characteristics, there is also the World Tree.
As for what people call multitasking, it is not really the concept of multitasking. It's just a matter of forcibly integrating two things into one and then doing them at the same time. To use computer knowledge as an analogy, it is similar to the concept of execution sequence, and the switching process will be secretive and fast to the point where individuals think they are processing two things at the same time.
This is why people who don’t do well at multitasking will mess up both things. It's like drawing a square with your left hand and a circle with your right hand. If you don't have deep multi-tasking skills, the square will not be a square and the circle will not be a circle.
After all, there is only one human brain, and each part has its own function. No part can temporarily replace another part. The research of Hayashi and Haggiri's team allowed him to see the dawn of transforming the subdimensional tower into his secondary brain, that is, his second brain.
Although he has accomplished this, he still has doubts about how much his strength has improved. But something is better than nothing. Lin thought so.
Someone has found a direction that he can research in the near future and is happily discussing it with the Haggiris. But others will not wait for someone's research to come to an end before disturbing him. In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, someone just hangs out in a tavern, drinks wine, listens to the bards singing tuneless tunes, and lives his life in a state of intoxication.
After a window period, finally enough people came to a certain magician. A very unexpected candidate, Prince Behar, who was only in his early ten years.
"Common people, do you know what trouble you have gotten into?" The arrogant prince threatened directly when they met.
If Lin didn't have enough confidence, he might be frightened to death by such a royal nobleman. But now, he just watched in amusement as this hairless kid acted arrogantly in front of him.
In fact, Lin really wanted to tell the other person that even if he turned his nostrils to his forehead, the height difference would still mean that he could only be looked down upon by himself. If you fold it further, you may just bend down and make an iron bridge.
However, Lin didn't answer. He just drank his own wine and listened to the prince cursing and banquets.
Behar said in his sharp voice before he changed his voice: "Magic, you have been targeted by Dragon Island. No one who is targeted by Dragon Island has a good ending. Only by relying on me can you escape." You can survive this calamity. So you can tell yourself why I should protect you."
Did I ask for asylum? Lin So was thinking, but he didn't want to reply. This kid's status is high enough, but in a battle of wits and courage with him, it feels like playing chess against a dead kid who doesn't even understand the rules and just plays randomly. If you eat his chess, you can imagine that the other party will make a fuss and even ignore such rubbish tricks as regretting the chess, just not allowing them to take it.
Simply put, no matter how you respond, you will only feel tired. The best way is to ignore it.
A certain magician's neglect was actually not noticed by the prince. When he thought about it, the other party didn't respond immediately. He just wanted to find something nice to say to beg for mercy. But even if the other party really begged for mercy, I didn't plan to let him go so easily.
Since this magician came to the empire, he has caused himself a lot of trouble one after another. Without regaining face, it is impossible for him to let the other party go.
