The Yerkes scholars have their own opinions on the recent disorder in the magical market.In his opinion, the main reason for the widespread volatility in the magic market was the sudden emergence of a large number of cheap crossbow arrows and rudimentary magic runes.He feared that in such a situation, the House of Representatives of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild would intervene.But this kind of thing is uncontrollable, and the soldiers who have come down from the plane battlefield are fighting for their own interests.I sat down on the chair opposite the Jerkis scholar, put my hand on the test bench, and said to him: "Since the plane war is won, it is inevitable that this second-hand magic weapon and equipment will flow back to the magic market in the imperial capital, whether it is the constructed knights who participated in the plane war, or those knight auxiliaries who participated in the war, they all need some practical things after the victory of the war, but unfortunately there are so many trophies, and the noble lords are still waiting to take them out in exchange for meritorious service, improve their titles, and make up for the large investment in the early days of the war, In addition to the limited salary, the interests of the warriors can only obtain some additional wealth in private, and obviously these damaged, unrecorded equipment become their additional source of income, and I think many noble lords can only turn a blind eye to this matter. ”In fact, there is a sentence I didn't say directly, I just want to break the so-called order in the current magic market in the imperial capital, I want magic items to enter civilian families, and I want magic weapons to continue to expand their influence and play their due role in the war against the dark forces of the Abyss.Although the Yerkes scholar is always able to design new styles for the beginner magic pattern, this does not mean that he is avant-garde, he is a magician with a traditional mind, and I know that he has always been resistant to metal magic rune plates."
But this kind of thing has too much impact on the imperial capital's magic market."
Yerkis frowned, and he could see that he was a little tangled."
Before that, your giant crossbow arrows can also be controlled and sold to a specific number of armies, as long as these giant crossbow arrows do not flow out, they do not have such a big impact on the magic market, at most, the other lords have seen some legions use bed crossbows in dimensional wars to resist those dark forces of the abyss, and feel that the bed crossbow is used after matching magic crossbow arrows, which is very effective against the Nibru spider warriors and Nakma warriors, so that it also stimulates other noble lords to buy this magic crossbow arrow in the magic market, It's just that the giant crossbow arrows in the magic market are more expensive, which greatly increases the cost of war.They will make a detailed assessment of the battlefield and will only commit their troops to the battlefield when they believe that there is a greater chance of victory. ”He placed a magical drawing of a giant crossbow arrow on the table, and every detail was marked by his lettering, and countless leads and notes would be scattered around the drawing.Staring at the drawing, the Yerkes scholar said to me: "The noble lords have begun to try to use magic crossbow arrows, which also makes this magic rune weapon in the magic market have a broader market prospect, many masters in the imperial capital have been focusing on drawing magic giant crossbow arrows in recent months, and you can probably see those magic crossbow arrows in the magic market on the way to the imperial capital magic research institute, and you can probably see those magic crossbow arrows in the magic market even on the stalls in the free market." ”As he spoke, he pushed the drawings in front of me and continued, "But now!
A large number of cheap magic crossbow arrows were brought to the magic market by warriors from the battlefield, and now many lords will only buy those giant crossbow arrows that sell no more than the actual silver coins, and the magic crossbow arrows in the entire imperial capital are not in stock.A few days ago, Bruce asked me about this and asked me if I could design a relatively low-cost giant crossbow arrow, and Bruce said that some people in the Magic Guild thought that we had a very low-cost giant crossbow arrow design in our hands, and let us take it out and communicate with other masters in the imperial capital. ”It turned out that someone above was putting pressure on the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, and it must be very interesting to be able to influence Vice Dean Bruce.I glanced at the magic drawings of the giant crossbow arrows, and said: "Since the single-attribute magic crossbow arrows have appeared in the magic market, then give them the drawings, this kind of magic-style crossbow arrows and the traditional hand-carved crossbow arrows are very different from the selection of the base material, if they want to imitate, they will have to completely abandon the base material of the Babington family rune workshop, and the magic pattern circle on this giant crossbow arrow is not complicated, even if we don't provide drawings, this single-attribute giant crossbow arrow is also easy to imitate, They said that what they needed was not a magic pattern, but a red copper solution, and that if they could afford it, I could sell it as well. ”"But this is the biggest secret of the metal magic rune board, are you really going to announce it to the public?"
The Yerkes scholar asked in surprise."
It's a good thing that someone wants to learn a new type of rune board like Metal, and I've wanted to replace the traditional handmade rune board with a metal rune plate for a long time, because the metal rune board is more efficient to make and the material cost is relatively cheaper."
I explained to the Yerkes scholars.In fact, even if I don't say this, the Yerkis scholar knows very well, and all he doesn't know is the process of making the metal magic rune plate.I said to him: "The biggest difference between the traditional hand-carved rune plate and the metal magic pattern rune plate is that the former needs to engrave the complete outline of the magic pattern circle on the Mithril-coated rune plate, which is equivalent to drawing this magic pattern circle twice, while the latter is directly drawn on the ordinary metal plate with metal solution, and only needs to be drawn once to complete.
It's just that the metal magic pattern rune board has higher requirements for the basic seal carving skills of the inscription master, and they need to draw the magic pattern accurately, meticulously and coherently. ”"So even the simplest fire-gathering spell board, Luke practiced for a long time before he could barely draw it."
Scholar Yerkes said that this might be the doubt in his mind, and after a few magical helpers, he finally realized that I was different from the other masters.With his character, if he had been before, he might not have been able to endure the magic assistant who couldn't even draw the fire spell board, but seeing this young magician with a somewhat shy expression standing here in a dignified manner, it seems that the irritable personality of the Yerkes scholar has changed a lot.The magic assistant named Luke had been listening carefully to us talking about the rune board and the Magic Pattern Build, but he didn't intervene the whole time.I glanced at the young magic assistant, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "It's good to practice more, the most important thing for this metal magic rune board is to have an engraving pen that does not always dip in ink, and the engraving pen needs to be sharper, and the drainage groove should also be larger, after all, the red copper metal solution is more viscous than magic ink, and the flow will be broken if you are not careful, Luke, are you learning to make a metal magic pattern rune board?"
”"Yes, Senior Jijia."
He looked a little shy when he spoke.Hearing him call me senior, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you a freshman in this class of the Royal Academy of Magic?"
”"Yes, Senior Jijia."
Luke replied.I took out a magic pen from my pocket, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Then this pen is for you, this is a magic pen specially used to draw metal magic rune plates, it will make the lines you draw more smooth." ”"Well, it's a pity that I'm not very proficient."
Luke was a little embarrassed to take the magic pen and said to me.In order to give Luke some encouragement and cultivate his interest in Mingxue, I simply took an ordinary steel plate from the test bench, and took out a bottle of magical red copper solution refined by Senior Vernon from my backpack, picked up a magic carving pen, and said to Luke: "Haha, I can't help with other runes, but when it comes to fire-gathering rune plates, I don't know how many paintings I have drawn since I was a child, and I am very experienced in this rune board." ”As I spoke, I picked up the magic pen and dipped it in some red copper solution, and began to draw the magic pattern of the fire-gathering technique on the iron plate, explaining while drawing: "First of all, you have to write from here and then do it in one go, remember to be coherent, the turning point must not be filled with ink, and at the end of the pen must reserve a certain space for the gem base." ”In the end, I skillfully took out the gem base from the drawer of the laboratory table and stuck it to the talisman board, and used tweezers to clip a piece of magic crystal fragment into the gem pedestal, and instantly a cyan flame rose, Luke looked at me a little dumbfounded, and said: "It turns out that as the Lord Yerkis said, the fire gathering spell is so simple in your pen. ”"It's good to be proficient."
With that, I gave him the place of the test bench.Luke looked at the magic pen in his hand, plucked up the courage to stand in front of the test table, and began to practice.Since I had the idea of using the Magic Stamper to engrave this elementary Demonic Pattern Structure, I had to get the support of the Yerkes Scholar, who was the only one who could make some small changes to the structure without affecting the composition attributes.I reached out and knocked on this set of full-covered armor, and said to the Yerkis scholar: "This kind of primary demonic pattern construction is almost no different from ordinary full-coverage armor except for improving some of the strength, physique, and agility of the knight, but this kind of demonic pattern construction that increases the strength and physique of the warrior itself is exactly what I need most at present, and this kind of primary demonic pattern construction is after the magic pattern lines are simplified, I want to try to make it with the process of metal magic pattern rune plates, and I want to control the total cost of the magic pattern construction at about thirty to forty magic crystals, Even lower. ”Scholar Yerkis stood by and listened attentively to what I said, and I said, "As you know, the Magic Pattern Construct has always been an expensive magic item that only noble lords can have, and the Magic Pattern Construct is a great inheritance for the younger generations to inherit for ordinary noble families, and many noble families can't even afford to buy a set of primary Magic Pattern Structure. ”In this regard, Yerkes scholars are also deeply touched.I continued: "The magic pattern structure is difficult to buy, in addition to the high price, the long hand-made cycle of the Ming master is also a factor that restricts the magic pattern construction, the normal production cycle of a set of magic pattern construction is about a week, many nobles want to have the magic pattern construction and even have to book it from the Ming masters. ”Scholar Yerkes proudly said, "A good master will always have an endless order to build magic patterns. ”He also glanced at me.I smiled and said to him, "Maybe soon this most ordinary of beginner demonic pattern constructs will break the shackles of lack of supply. ”He was a little surprised, but he immediately understood what I meant.As a proponent of traditional magic, he has always been very opposed to me applying the technical principles of the metal magic rune plate to the magic pattern construction, and he was about to dissuade me, but I preemptively said: "In the Grimm Empire, many first-turn warriors come out of civilian families, but if they don't have a certain opportunity, it is even difficult for them to construct knights. ”Speaking of the difficulty of civilian families getting out of the Constructed Knights, the Yerkes scholar finally had some feelings, and he lowered his head in contemplation.I continued: "At present, the war on the plane is full of smoke, but many lords would rather shrink in the imperial capital and wait for the opportunity, rather than go to the battlefield with the Constructed Knights without the certainty of victory, in the final analysis, these lords cannot afford to lose, the pension of the Constructed Knights after the casualties, the expensive magic pattern structure, all kinds of irretrievable materials on the battlefield, etc., each of which needs to be a ringing gold coin. ”"So I want to reduce the production cost of the primary demonic pattern structure, and I also have a selfish intention, that is, I want to arm my group of barbarian slaves with this primary demonic pattern structure, so that they will have more strength and endurance on the battlefield, and be able to pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow a few more times, so that the battle may become easier."
The scholar of Yerkis looked at me and said to me, "If it were those barbarian slaves, you would have dressed them in the black iron armor of the Nakma?"
”I said, "yes." ”"If it's the kind of Nagraman black iron armor, we can also expand those simple magic lines appropriately, so that we can also improve some magic attributes, but the improvement is very limited," said the Yerkis scholar, explaining to me the principle of the flow of magic elements in the magic lines in a diagram, whether I understood it or not, it was just babbling and explaining.It seems that he has no opinion on the improvement of the Nakma black iron armor, he asked me for a set of Nakma armor to put in the laboratory, each of the bulky Nakma black iron armor weighs dozens of kilograms, and it is nearly three meters high when placed in the laboratory
