Chapter 175 Magical Communication Methods, New Transformation Surgery

As early as the morning, the seagulls responsible for delivering goods to the MSG store reported to Lin Bo that a group of new faces had come to Shita Town. However, the arrival of tourists was a common occurrence, so he did not care.

The group went to the church to investigate the truth after seeing the seagulls, and finally believed in the miracle after seeing the snow falling in autumn. Lin Bo learned the whole story from the old priest and just smiled.

"It was an unintentional gain," he said briefly. Even if the practice of Mantra Control hadn't altered the celestial phenomena, these elderly followers of Hongdu would eventually gravitate towards the Tower Guardian Order. The old priest's words had already shaken their faith.

Out of prudence, the old priest did not allow these new members to come to the lighthouse for an audience, but only presented their statistical list to the night watchman for review.

After all, new members have their own jobs and will eventually have to return to their hometowns. Knowing too many secrets of the order will not be conducive to maintaining the secrecy of the sect.

These servants of the Hongdu nobles extended the sect's influence to the capital, serving as a bridge, allowing the order to gain a general understanding of the trends in Hongdu's upper circles. At the same time, they could secretly spread the faith among their vassal group.

The key lies in how to ensure communication between the two places.

If the Order wanted to intervene in Hongdu, it would have to provide financial support to its personnel in order to develop the organization and attract new members. It would also have to maintain frequent communications to ensure that orders were delivered.

Submarine cables are being laid between the Windward Islands. There is now a dedicated line from Jinbei City to Hongdu, which can send telegrams to each other. However, the communication price is quite high and is charged by word, so the messages sent are often very brief.

Today, the most common method of communication between islands is still shipping and mail. However, this method is slow and carries considerable risks, with cargo often being lost in storms.

The old priest respectfully asked the night watchman how to contact the branch of the order in Hongdu, but this brought a problem to Lin Bo.

It's not that he didn't have a solution. The simplest one was to dig out two shortwave radio stations from the scrap heap and set up one in Shita Town and one in Hongdu, so that the members of the order on both sides could communicate.

But if a radio station were to appear in a large city like Hongdu with many people and eyes, leaking of information would be inevitable.

The laser printer at the Shita Town Newspaper Office is guarded like a precious treasure, with patrol officers assigned by the town hall working around the clock to protect it from curious tourists. Even so, the high printing quality of the Shita Newspaper often amazes outsiders.

Lin Bo's plan is to let the Secret Mechanical Workshop spread radio technology bit by bit. In order to achieve the goal, a large number of young scholars with higher education need to join in, which is obviously not the case at present.

If technology doesn't work, then use magic.

The Magic Web's spellcasting system includes a third-level divination spell called "Short Message," which allows the caster to send a message of up to 25 words to a desired target, and the recipient can immediately reply with a silent message. This spell has an infinite transmission range, allowing messages to be received even in different planes of existence.

Lin Bo is not a magic network spellcaster. For a true name mage, if he can know the unique true name of a living individual, he can also achieve telepathy with it by calling this name and communicate with it through thoughts.

If the above methods are not feasible for him, he can also meet his needs through enchantment or alchemy techniques.

Lin Bo planned to try a special and difficult enchantment technique called "synchronous enchantment." This was the most difficult technique in all the books on advanced enchantment. It allowed two enchanted items to have the same spell effect and create an invisible connection between them.

The most intuitive example is the communication crystal ball, which is like a magical version of a mobile phone video call, except that the raw materials are crystals containing magical energy and power runes.

The more objects enchanted at the same frequency, the greater the difficulty and the higher the probability of failure.

What Lin Bo wants to make is not a video call crystal ball, but a special enchanted paper. When you write on one page, the same handwriting will automatically appear on another page.

At this time, there was only one visitor in the lighthouse, the old priest. Lin Bo took out the mage's face and put it on, then took out a piece of magic material from the player's backpack.

The "Inkstone Soft Copper" dropped from the Affix Treasure Chest is a very soft metal that can be clearly scratched by fingernails. However, it is very plastic and can be erased by ironing it or hitting it with a hammer.

The old priest saw the three-eyed skull raise his hand and press, and a piece of black metal half a person's height appeared on the open space, the surface reflecting a delicate silver luster.

Then, the night watchman reached for the raw metal ore and pulled out a fist-sized ball of soft, jet-black copper. The metal ball hovered above his palm, expanding like flowing water to form a copper plate the size of an A4 sheet.

A soft noise emanated from beneath the skull mask, the light dimmed, and the room grew slightly darker. The copper coin in his palm, however, seemed to gleam, becoming strikingly bright in the old priest's eyes. Like a book, the coin silently turned its pages, unfolding into two thinner metal plates. Simultaneously, power runes were inscribed onto both plates.

The old priest stared at the broken strokes that looked like ghost toes stepping on the sand, but forgot them in the blink of an eye, and no impression remained in his mind.

"(Mantra) This thing and that thing are one and the same; if one changes, all change."

The two soft copper plates before Lin Bo's eyes appeared separated, yet they remained connected by an invisible thread. The Life Control technique simultaneously inscribed Gu'dorei runes, and guided by incantations, the power of the two metal plates flowed seamlessly, without the slightest fluctuation.

When the spell ends, the frequency enchantment is successful.

Lin Bo handed a piece of black copper paper to the old priest. When he took it respectfully, he took out a small carving knife and wrote on another piece of copper paper. The scratches appeared clear and bright silver.

The old priest looked at the copper paper in his hand. There was a line of strange characters on the header, and silver words appeared in the middle of the page, which read: Use this to communicate with Hongdu believers in the future.

Copper paper is soft and light, and can be easily bent without breaking or stretching.

Paper could be written on both sides, and compared to telegraphs that could only send a few words at a time, copper paper could convey a much wider range of messages.

Lin Bo briefly explained its usage and told people that if they wanted to destroy it, they could use a carving knife to scrape off the characters on the header. This was also a loss-prevention measure in an emergency.

"My Lord, I will send the holy paper over. The people from Hongdu are probably still staying in Jinbei City."

"Just keep your share. Let Kechen Anche deliver the other half." Lin Bo waved goodbye to the old priest.

He planned to have the seagulls deliver goods to Duke Ancher. Not only that, he also planned to dispatch some seagulls to accompany the new members of the order to Hongdu.

In order to facilitate communication with seagulls, they need to carry a pair of eyes that can see far away, and the communication crystal ball is used for this.

Lin Bo usually runs map affix copies, and the materials he gets from the treasure chests are all kinds of strange. Precious materials such as magic crystals and magic gems are also in stock, but these are not like magic metals, which can be produced in quantities of several tons at a time.

He took out a piece of "Deep Sea Amethyst" from his backpack. It was a pure crystal as big as a washbasin. Its blue color was enough to carry two Gudorei spells.

Lin Bo peeled off ten bean-sized crystal fragments and a fist-sized crystal ball from the crystal raw stone.

Then, he enchanted the eleven crystals with the same frequency, using the crystal ball as the mother body and the broken crystals as the daughter body, and engraved the same frequency spell and magic eye on them.

In this way, the crystal fragment can continuously receive visual information, and the scenes it observes can be displayed on the crystal ball.

Lin Bo summoned a Fungus-speaking Seagull, gestured at its body with the broken crystals, and finally settled on its forehead, ready to embed the crystals under the skin. However, it couldn't be so simple and crude. Mycelium was needed as a base so that the seagull could sense and control these magic eye crystals, truly becoming the third eye of the bird.

He pondered for a moment and went to the underground workshop again.

Now the camouflaged strain has been cultivated. It inherits the characteristics of the perfect mutant and has stronger symbiotic properties.

In contrast, the primary strain can only simulate the host's main cells, while the hyphae of the camouflage strain can express different genetic traits, allowing the host to acquire diverse mutation capabilities.

The camouflage fungus is suitable as the base of the magic eye crystal, receiving and processing the visual signals of the magic eye and then transmitting them to the seagull's brain.

It's time to give the Fungus-speaking Seagulls a new makeover.
