I sat on a bench by the test bench, waiting for the moonlight ink on the windowsill to slowly fail, and the lab was filled with the volatile scent of calming flower juice.It was getting late, and the last rays of sunlight were finally blocked by the drum tower on the side of the city wall, as if the surroundings had suddenly become very dark.Through the glass window, I can see the lights gradually lit up in the teaching building in the distance, I sighed silently, I rarely stay in the academy these days for evening self-study, and the academy has no hard requirements for this, but now it seems that most of the students are still quite diligent, just look at the shadows in those classrooms, you know that in fact, in the academy, there are still a lot of hard-working people, even if they become envied magic apprentices, no one is still willing to relax, the road of magic is so long, we still have a long way to go.The moonstone inlaid in the ceiling became brighter and brighter, and the light gradually cleared up the corners of the laboratory room.I bored and began to clean the stains left by the magic ink on the test bench, which had probably been drying up for a long time, and it was very difficult to erase.At this time, Yerkis had no intention of studying his magic puppet, and he didn't know where to turn out a rattan chair with one leg missing, and used a few rune metal plates to cushion it underneath, and after the rattan chair was cushioned steadily, he lay lazily on the rattan chair, and kept rummaging the fire magic scroll that had just been tested in his hand, he looked at the magic lines on it with some obsession, and gradually he became a little puzzled, and finally couldn't help but sit up and ask me: "Ji Jia, why can't you even find a contact point on the magic pattern on your magic scroll, How do you handle the seams?
Continuation?
How to connect?
Or is it an inclined sweep tail joint?
It's a seamless connection!
”I was a little speechless, hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth: "Scholar Yerkes, the magic pattern circle on this fire-type energy magic scroll has not been dealt with with the seams, it is actually drawn with one stroke!"
”Yerkis seemed to be accustomed to this kind of surprise, and while admiring the magic pattern circle on the scroll, he sighed loudly: "How strong a memory does this take to memorize the entire magic pattern circle perfectly!"
Aren't you afraid that in the process of drawing, where is the slightest error in the drawn line, which will lead to failure?
Are you so sure that you didn't make the slightest mistake from start to finish?
”"I'm sure of that!"
Questioning him, I affirmed.Yerkes sighed softly, "This is really terrifying!
I guess your body's mental power attributes should be much better than other children, no, even better than the average magician.I have never seen a master who can draw an entire magic pattern circle with a single stroke, even if this most common fire element magic scroll, this kind of magic scroll is used as a power source, applied to a large number of magic artifacts, is an important means for the apprentices of the master to accumulate wealth, but even if the magician who draws hundreds or thousands of fire element magic scrolls, I have never seen anyone who can skillfully draw it with a single stroke.You seem to be the first time you've come into contact with this magic pattern!
”Hearing Yerkis say this, I nodded silently.I have known this for a long time, as old Kuru has told me many times, and I also know that it is because of my talent for magical perception that I am extremely sensitive to the magical elements in my surroundings, which also indirectly stimulates the crazy growth of mental power in my body.Magical perception belongs to the seventh sense of the body, and its acuity directly causes my five senses including touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight, and sixth sense to be much sharper than the average person.Yerkes continued: "I can see that there are a lot of basics that you haven't learned in this area.Because a systematically trained master would never make a magic scroll out of such a broken magic parchment, this is the fifth of the ten taboos of the master, and the sixth is never to make a magic scroll with invalid ink, which is the sixth of the ten taboos of the master. ”Yerkis squinted his eyes, as if caught in a memory, and he said quietly: "On the first day of studying Ming, my teacher did not tell us how to do Mingming well, but told us what we should not do, otherwise it is easy to get hurt.You must know that the Ming master who dies on the test bench every year has accounted for 80 percent of the total number of Ming Shi deaths, my teacher is a very strict person, he will not tolerate any small flaw in the Ming production process, but his old-fashioned and dogma, also made him a very famous Ming Shi.He wanted to know that someone could ignore the ten taboos of the Ming Master so much, and he didn't know what he would be angry about!
”At this, he burst open and laughed, the first time I'd ever seen Yerkes smile so shyly.Hearing Yerkis say this, I realized that what I had just done was against the law for those masters with formal education, and only two knives like me would dare to ignore those old rules and take the risk!
Thinking of this, I am full of curiosity about the world of Mingshi, and I want to know the story about Mingshi.So I took advantage of the fact that the Yerkes scholar was still in a good mood, so I asked him, "Yerkis scholar, you just said that the scroll is a first-level high-level fire element magic scroll, I am very curious about the level of the magic scroll, can you tell me about it?"
”Yerkis retracted his sloppy gaze and thought for a moment before saying, "Is the level of the magic scroll?"
According to the regulations of the Magic Guild of the Green Empire, ordinary magic scrolls are divided into five levels, which are determined by the level from one to five according to the equivalent of the magic power on the magic scroll, usually we call the magic energy that can be released by a standard fireball technique a biruka, when the magic energy in the magic scroll reaches one biruka, we call such a magic scroll a first-class magic scroll, when the magic energy in the magic scroll exceeds ten biruka, We call such a magic scroll a second-level magic scroll, and stipulate that those with more than fifty biruka are third-level magic scrolls, and those with more than one hundred and fifty biruka are fourth-level magic scrolls, and the power of fourth-level magic scrolls is already terrifying. ”"What kind of magic is so terrifying?"
I asked, surprised."
Fourth-level earth magic earth shakes the mountains!"
Yerkes' fingers gently swam along the magic lines on the scroll, and the aura of the fire elemental rippled around the tips of his fingers.I couldn't understand why a fourth-level magic with an energy of one hundred and fifty biruka could destroy a city, so I asked him, "Scholar Yerkes, the fireball technique has the energy of one biruka, so does it mean that one hundred and fifty fireball spells can destroy a city?"
”Yerkis said a lot, and I heard it like a cloud mountain fog cover, but all in all, after I summarized his words, I got such a general meaning: magic energy is not simply superimposed like this, and the first-level magic and the second-level magic are not as simple as one plus one equals two, just like a fireball after exploding, it can only leave a basin-sized pit on the playground at most, but the second-level magic ground cracking flame, although the power is only less than thirty biruka, can easily burn the playground a hundred meters square into ruins.I was a little dumbfounded, thinking to myself that the fire-gathering scroll I had drawn was really nothing to a real magician.The criterion for judging the entry of a Mingshi is not to make a fire elemental magic scroll, this kind of energy-type magic scroll can be easily made even by an apprentice of a Mingshi.The Wizard Qualification Exam in the Guild of Magic has a very simple question, with only two items: drawing a complete second-level magic pattern circle, and writing an improvement plan for any level 1 magic scroll.I don't know how many masters are stuck in these two levels every year.Yerkis wasn't too surprised that I was able to make a fire elemental magic scroll, and among the many magic pattern circles, this kind of scroll was relatively easy to make.The most pleasing thing to him was that if I were able to make this kind of primary energy scroll, then the cost of using this magic scroll would be greatly reduced for Yerkis scholars.I need to provide him with enough magic scrolls, and of course, in return, he will instruct me on how to become a master.That's what he promised.And I promise to make at least five fire elemental magic scrolls of this quality for him every day.Yerkis said to me: Magic golems are very expensive research projects, and the El City War Academy has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this project, and this research has entered the final stage, and Yerkis is very confident in this.Then we turned the conversation back to the magic scrolls, and he said to me, "Each level of the magic scrolls is divided into three stages, which are the beginner, intermediate, and advanced magic scrolls. ”He pointed to the fire element magic scroll in his hand and said to me: "Like this kind of fire-type magic scroll, it can only be barely classified as a first-class low-cost magic scroll, but the fire element energy contained in this magic scroll is twenty percent more than that of ordinary similar scrolls, and this kind of energy-type scroll, as long as the energy contained in it is ten percent more than that of ordinary types, it can be called a first-level mid-level magic scroll, this kind of rarer scroll, the energy contained in the magic pattern exceeds twenty percent, and it has reached the standard of a first-level high-level magic scroll." ”"I've never wondered how you did that.I have the impression that the average magic apprentice is rarely able to make this kind of scroll that is beyond the normal level, and it is usually good if it is not lowered.Only those Ming masters would occasionally produce scrolls beyond one grade when they were making such low-level scrolls. ”Yerkis grossed at the messy hair on his head in some pain, and pondered for a while before he said, "I think maybe it's because of the sparks from the magic ink that is about to die and the broken magic parchment, otherwise this kind of thing is really hard to understand!"
”I really want to say: in fact, the real reason is that after the volatilization of the Tranquility Flower Juice in the ink, the concentration of the moonlight ink has increased, and this ink, which has an extremely unstable internal structure, has increased a lot in terms of energy, so the capacity of the magic energy of the drawn magic scroll will increase, so that it has become a scroll beyond the normal grade.Just as I was hesitating to talk about it, Yerkis said, "Of course, I personally think that the magic scroll hierarchy customized by the Magic Guild is not perfect, there are some special magic scrolls that are not included, and many magic scrolls that are less than one bikaru equivalent are not included in the level range. ”Yerkes' words reminded me of the ultra-simple Gathering Fire Scroll and the Frost Scroll, which may be outside of the Magic Guild Scroll rating.Unfortunately, these two methods of crafting magic scrolls obtained from the Grey Dwarf Bandits belong to the category of general magic skills, and the Grimm Empire Magic Guild holds two views on universal scrolls.The first point of view, which is also the mainstream view, is that the Terran magicians have lost the key to unlock the universal magic skills, and there are many magicians in the Grimm Empire who study topics related to general magic, and these general-purpose magics that consume less magic are very practical, and there are some stubborn magicians who believe that only by looking for the root cause will they be able to unlock the secret that the Terran magicians cannot use universal magic.The second point of view is that when the genius magician created the magic pool, he opened a new era of magic for mankind, but it also closed the door to the field of general magic, and the magic of human beings is substantially different from the general magic of the world.The ancient and noble elves have always refused to admit that Terran magicians use orthodox magic, and they are paranoid that Terran magicians only use magic that has evolved from magic.Finally waited for the bottle of moonlight ink in the tranquil flower juice to completely volatilize, the magic ink in the entire ink bottle became extremely unstable again, Yerkes was worried that I didn't know the power of this bottle of ink, and kept telling me: "You must be careful when using this bottle of ink, didn't you see it just now, the power of the remaining ink explosion is also very amazing, don't force it."
Nothing is as important as its own life!
”I nodded cautiously, and carefully took the unstable bottle of moonlight ink back to the test table, by which time I had once again a brand new magic pen in my hand, and on the lab table was a blank magic parchment with a broken corner, and Yerkes, fearing that I would fail, had prepared a few more and stacked them on the left hand side of the test table.I let my breathing become smoother, and calmed down to look at the magic parchment paper on the test bench, and the familiar magic pattern circle clearly appeared in front of me again, I dipped a little unstable ink, when dipping in ink, it also requires a certain amount of skill, I must take advantage of the peak of magic ink magic power fluctuations to the lowest point, and use this method to dip the ink, so as not to explode.I picked up the second magic parchment, the third, the fourth, and the fifth, and made five fire elemental magic scrolls in a row, before I felt that the magic pool was a little empty, so I simply stopped writing and went straight to the laboratory to meditate.When I woke up again, Yerkis was still studying the magic scrolls, and when he saw him get up from the bench and move his numb limbs, he said to me: "Your magic talent is very good, a magic apprentice like you is born to be a master, and your memory is very good, especially for such extremely complex magic lines, ordinary masters draw such a magic pattern, at least refer to the magic book to re-read it three or four times, in order to accurately draw the magic pattern, The joints of those lines are the fatal wounds of the magic pattern.But you don't need to worry about it, hehe!
”Yerkes smiled self-deprecatingly, then patted his chest on the chest and said, "Do you know what I did to avoid the stitches?"
”"I thought to myself: How do I know that I am not God!
Yerkis said with some excitement: "Keep practicing on the papyrus, and practice each magic pattern a thousand times, so that you can leave a very deep impression on your mind!"
But I don't have the precision of yours, and my hands are not stable enough, even ordinary magic ink with Tranquility Flower Juice added to it, and it is difficult for me to successfully draw a magic scroll!
”He wanted to touch the bottle of invalid magic ink, but after hesitating, he stopped his hand in mid-air and finally took it back, probably because he was worried about the explosion!
However, he had seen my process of making the fire elemental magic scroll, and should have taken my word for it.Yerkis spoke again: "Your ability to control the moonlight ink can completely ignore the effect of the Tranquility Flower Juice, which is very good!"
”"What's even more rare is that your right hand is so steady, and the lines of the entire magic pattern are so smooth, this is really a masterpiece!"
He pondered for a moment before finally making a decision, and said to me, "Stay and help me, be my assistant!"
The Ming Lab needs a talented young magic apprentice like you, you may be able to study magic puppets with me, or if you are not interested in it, you can also stay here and learn Mingjutsu, although I am not a Ming Master, but with my understanding of Ming, I should be able to help you on the road to becoming a Ming Master!
”To be continued.
