Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

The townspeople who walked out of their homes lowered their heads to avoid puddles and walked on the dark, dry road. Those who had to go to church went to church, those who had to go to work went to work, and those who had to go to the dock also went to the dock.

Around this time, a steamer came from the sea, blew a loud whistle from afar, and the roar shook the sleepy morning air of Shita Town.

This is a small ferry that sets out from Kimbe Port to search for treasure and has been wandering at sea during the hurricane's landfall.

Last night, a hurricane broke out from the coast and headed straight for them. The crew steered the ferry hard, braved the torrential rain and waves, and sailed along the light of the lighthouse, finally approaching the coast this morning. This is also the first treasure ship to return.

The ship that had experienced the disaster was like a gloomy and destitute stray dog. The masts on the deck had been broken, and the fluttering colorful flags were drooping on the side. The flagman standing on the lookout tower was waving flags, requesting to anchor.

Fishermen from Shita Town on the dock looked out at the iron ferry and cheered loudly for the captain and sailors who had sailed through the storm. They quickly raised flags to signal that they would wait, as the dock needed to be cleared of fishing boats before they could dock.

Two hours later, the ferry arrived at the Shita Town Pier.

People who heard the news came to greet the crew and passengers who got off the ship. Many tired and frightened survivors screamed and leaned over to kiss the soil when their feet set foot on land.

Many of the well-dressed guests among them looked haggard at this time, and the shock of surviving the disaster had not yet subsided. As soon as they got off the boat, they asked the surrounding townspeople for clean water and food.

The mayor accidentally found Lady Hongdu and the professor from the university in the crowd. He hurriedly went up to ask about the whereabouts of Viscount Pearl.

"Oh, Willen Pearl, he, he..." The lady from Hongdu burst into tears.

The professor of archaeology sighed, comforted the students who were crying, and then turned to ask the mayor to prepare some food so that they could continue the conversation after they had recovered.

Seeing this, the mayor and officials all felt depressed.

The survivors who walked out of the docked ferry bought food and alcohol in Shita Town, booked the Bailuo Tavern, and ate and drank to their heart's content.

Everyone had a lot to say about their treasure hunts and storms at sea. When the tavern owner asked, the sailors at the counter all vied with each other to tell their stories.

None of them reached the islands recorded in the nautical charts. The hurricane came too quickly, and many expedition ships capsized in the huge waves. Many people went missing and have not been heard from since.

The ferry rescued many people who survived the shipwreck while fleeing the hurricane.

The captain drank a few glasses of moonshine, and his face turned pink and shiny, like a wrinkled peach.

He stopped a passing waitress and loudly asked who the lighthouse keeper of this town was. He said that it was thanks to the "damn" light, otherwise they would have been lost last night. Of course, the five gods blessed them to be able to pass through such a storm and return to the offshore, but they also had to thank the night watchman here.

"You can't find him. He must be out now. If you want to thank him, just wait until evening to go to the lighthouse." Ji Ling spoke quickly.

"I'm afraid it's too late then." The captain smacked his lips, took money out of his pocket to buy a bottle of liquor, and asked the tavern owner to deliver it to the night watchman. "After we replenish the whale oil and supplies and repair the engine group, we will set sail for Jinbei Port around this afternoon."

After experiencing such a disaster, the crew and passengers all wanted to go home as soon as possible, rest for a few days, and put the bad experience behind them.

As for the rumors of lost treasure, some people still yearn for it, while others have decided to put it behind them, perhaps one day in the future it will become a topic of conversation when reminiscing about their youth.

Around 3 p.m., a long line formed in front of the lighthouse again. After a long period of rain and a sharp drop in temperature, fevers and colds became more common, especially among the elderly and children.

Lin Bo himself was experiencing some nasal congestion and difficulty breathing, the result of too much rain over the past two days. So, in the afternoon, he spent the afternoon in the mushroom garden, encouraging the spawn to produce more medicinal mushrooms that would be suitable for his condition.

Now I'm back at the lighthouse, preparing the medicine according to the prescription and making a bunch of standard-sized medicine bags.

If any townspeople developed typical symptoms such as headaches, fever, and sore throats, they would first be given acupuncture to relieve the symptoms, and then medicine packets would be distributed, and they would be asked to take them home and boil them for consumption. The dosage for patients of different ages was also carefully stated.

Visitors to the lighthouse always chat about all kinds of gossip, which is also the main way for Lin Bo to collect various news about the town in a day.

When the tavern waitress Ji Ling came to help, she brought a bottle of liquor, saying it was a gift from the captain. She then told everyone present the story of the shipwreck she had heard, which aroused a burst of sympathetic murmurs.

"Thanks to the miracle that protected our Shita Town, otherwise we would be as pitiful as those fools who went out to sea." The old fishermen whispered to each other. The unfortunate experiences of others made everyone more pious.

While helping to distribute the medicine packets, Ji Ling asked, "Night Watchman, have you encountered the Miracle Walker?"

"Yes." Lin Bo nodded.

"Are you scared by him?" Ji Ling asked excitedly.

"I didn't look closely. Is he scary?"

"It's terrifying! But the old priest said he was sent by the Five Gods to save Stone Tower Town, so he must be an ugly but kind-hearted angel."

"That makes sense." Lin Bo agreed, told the patient who had received the injection to sit by the wall, and then rang the bell.

Jingle Bell--

After the crisp sound, a group of people rushed in from outside the door. The mayor and the guests from Hongdu came to visit again, but they were no longer as high-spirited as when they first met. The lady's eyes were red, and several men had depressed brows. The leader, Viscount Pearl, was also missing.

The mayor quickly approached the night watchman, sweat on his forehead, and said in the softest tone, "Sir, Viscount Pearl has lost contact at sea. These distinguished guests want to see you because you warned us of the coming hurricane. They may want to know how you can predict natural disasters."

Lin Bo and the slightly overweight official looked at each other. The mayor lowered his head deeply, avoiding the night watchman's gaze.

"I see."

The mayor nodded, bent down and stepped back to the nobles.

Such obvious respect for him seemed a little strange to the distinguished guests from Hongdu.

It was as if the mayor was not facing a lighthouse keeper. Even in front of Viscount Pearl, he was not so humble.

In the warm orange incandescent light, the well-dressed visitors from Hongdu stared at them, silent as flags. The sturdy and capable residents of the stone towers by the wall stared at them, silent as reefs. The night watchman raised his hand and greeted them with a smile, "Find a place to sit."

The distinguished guests looked at each other, the ladies from Hongdu lifted their skirts to greet them, the men also bowed slightly, and Lin Bo nodded in return from behind the table.

"Mr. Lighthouse Keeper, you once reminded the people in this town to be careful of hurricanes, so how do you judge the weather?" Lady Hongdu sat at the table, her eyes fixed on Lin Bo's face, her tone very gentle.

"This is a judgment based on experience. There are always some signs before a storm comes. I am deeply sorry for what you have experienced."

"If only... Alas, it's no use saying these things." When she mentioned this, the lady from Hongdu lowered her head and burst into tears again, choking with sobs.

The professor of archaeology stepped forward and said, "We are here to thank you, Night Watchman. The lighthouse you guarded saved our lives."

"The duty lies."

The people of Hongdu showed their courtesy and casually took out a full ten thousand copper coins as a small reward for the lighthouse keeper's loyalty to his duty.

They were determined and Lin Bo had no way to refuse, so he accepted it.

The lady at the table wiped her tears, stood up and said goodbye, and immediately led her companions away.

Soon after they left, the mayor returned to the lighthouse alone and said, "The Hondu people left in their carriage."

After the big shot left, the townspeople relaxed and started talking about the inside story.

Lin Bo rang the bell to let the next patient in. While he was seeing the patient, he listened to the mayor explain the whole story.

A few days ago, the yacht that Viscount Pearl and his party were on capsized in a storm. They were drifting in the sea holding lifebuoys, tied together with ropes to avoid getting separated. Unfortunately, Viscount Pearl's lifebuoy was not tied with a rope, and he was drifting away from everyone else in the wind and waves.

His companions on the boat could only watch him get lost. Everyone else was found and salvaged by the ferry, but the Viscount was still missing.

The patients in the lighthouse whispered to each other, and they felt quite sympathetic towards the lord's plight, but their sympathy was only verbal as they felt that he had suffered misfortune because of not listening to advice.

"Old man, please bless our Viscount, he will return home safely." It is always a good idea to add a few more words of blessing without paying.

"Yes, yes, after all, this is a place protected by miracles." The proud statement drew a chorus of agreement.

"If the Viscount dies, who will inherit this place?" the townspeople began to murmur.

Limbo rang the bell again.

The mayor stayed at the lighthouse until nightfall, then left with the crowd. He only said goodbye to the night watchman, "See you tomorrow, sir."

"Ok."

The mayor walked away with a smile on his face and a brisk pace.

Chapter 52: Clustered Flying Pets, Steel Body

At night, the windows on the second floor of the lighthouse were open, and little seagulls flew back from the night, flew in through the windows, circled in the room for a while, and then chose to land on the head of Titan.

The robot stood beside the desk, holding a pine tea tray. This was the result of its recent independent learning. It seemed to be very interested in housework. It had mastered the skills of boiling water in the kitchen and would even give cold white wine to Lin Bo.

The little seagull jumped over Titan. The robot conducted a threat assessment and confirmed that there was no risk, so it did not take any defensive action.

"Good human, I'm back!" Proud quack.

Lin Bo was bent over his desk, drawing mechanical designs. His pen strokes made a rustling sound on the sulfuric acid paper. He casually greeted, "(Magic words) Welcome home."

He is designing a set of steel armor covering his entire body, developed based on the Guardian series of equipment. This is not to transform him into Iron Man, but to facilitate him to fly by controlling the armor when he only recites the Iron True Name.

The little seagull chattered and told the night watchman about its experiences that afternoon.

The seagulls' summer habitat isn't in the East Cliff Grottoes, but in a meadow several miles northeast of Shita Town. They only approach the coast in late autumn to prepare for winter. The little one was visiting relatives and friends in the northern habitat.

It spread the greatness of the White Marsh to its fellow seagulls in the habitat, and then led Mushroom's loyal companions to fly around the surrounding sky and had a heated exchange of views with other birds of prey living nearby.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bo paused his writing and asked about the battle situation.

The little guy said that after sacrificing the heroic lives of several old birds, the flock of gulls successfully drove a sea eagle out of its habitat, and then chased and scolded a peregrine falcon that often launched sneak attacks for a long time.

In the wilderness where humans have never set foot, the bird kingdom stages life-and-death battles every day. Now, under the call of the returning little seagull, the seagulls have taken the lead in launching a fierce war of conquest, which has fascinated the wizard of the lighthouse.

This little guy, who showed great leadership, was not satisfied with the current results, so he asked his military advisor for a countermeasure. "Good human, the sea eagle is very powerful, the peregrine falcon is very powerful, what should the seagull do?"

Lin Bo put down his pen and gave some advice to the little king at home. He suggested gathering the gulls in the habitat and taking them to the East Cliff Grottoes to reach a meal ticket agreement with the mushrooms. He could also transplant mycelium to the gulls.

The little seagulls that live in symbiosis with the all-purpose fungus show higher intelligence than their peers. After being injured, the mycelium in their bodies will perform limited treatment and simply repair the wound.

For other creatures in nature, this is already a remarkable advantage. A group of super gulls is enough to dominate the Warring States Period of birds.

The little king nodded repeatedly and praised humans for being the best friends of seagulls.

"(Magic words) I will teach you to fight together and defeat stronger enemies."

Lin Bo spent 5 disaster coins yesterday to buy a book called "Beast King Ranger's Product - Helper from the Sky", which is a special material for training flying combat pets.

Controlling a flock of birds can help players monitor an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Compared with the drone swarms equipped by mechanics, the flying pets bred by trainers certainly have many shortcomings, but the amount of resources required is much less. The two have their own advantages and disadvantages.

As a preliminary transition, Lin Bo felt that a flock of seagulls was more than enough.

The little king quacked excitedly, "Home's skies belong to the seagulls! The more seagulls there are, the stronger we are!"

Lin Bo smiled, picked up his pen again, and began drawing. His ears were filled with the chatter of the little creatures, the murmur of the waves, the whisper of the wind, and the hum of the Titania's mechanics. The clamor of nature dissolved into a long speech, like a group of friends who never felt bored.

At midnight, Lin Bo sorted out the blueprints, took out the guard arm armor, chest armor and burst exoskeleton, as well as a few extra steel ingots.

He chanted the mantra, followed the design on the blueprint, and used the art of controlling life to combine the four pieces of equipment into a complete set of armor that covered the entire body except the head.

The steel melts into soft mud, and the paint on the surface peels off piece by piece as it deforms. The entire process is controlled by the surface touch and endoscopy method, and the processing is smooth and meticulous.

After the modification, the arm armor has hand armor, and the chest armor extends downward and is connected to the exoskeleton.

The entire piece of armor has the distinct lines of muscle of a steel steed, with a slender upper body and plump and strong lower limbs. Thanks to the extremely high processing precision, there is not a single burr, weld or rivet, and the metal surface is smooth and delicate.
