My Magic Age

There is a tripod made of copper wire on the workbench. On the tripod is a palm-sized magic red copper rune board. This is a unique rune board. The surface of the rune board does not have The coating of magic metal, the surface of the copper plate is polished very smooth, and a very simple magic pattern of 'Fire Gathering' is engraved on it. There is a fluctuation of fire magic elements on the magic pattern, and a green flame floats on the talisman. The writing board burned and jumped occasionally.

There was a time when I was painting this kind of "Fire Gathering Technique" magic pattern day and night. When I saw the "Fire Gathering Technique" magic pattern, I felt like vomiting.

The 'Fire Gathering Technique' magic pattern on this ordinary copper plate is only as big as a clenched fist. The gem base in the middle of the rune plate is inlaid with a magic crystal fragment the size of a fingernail. It's just that on this ordinary copper plate, The magic patterns drawn on it are more like the patterns on magic scrolls, rather than the double-line magic patterns I usually see on metal rune plates.

Mithril rune boards are more popular here in the imperial capital, while in many rural towns, cheaper magic copper is used.

Usually the magic metal rune plate we see is an ordinary metal plate plated with a layer of magic metal in a workshop. This becomes a blank magic rune board. The inscription masters use magic knives to carve a magic pattern array on this blank rune board, and inlay a magic gem base in the center of the array, and then install a A magic crystal or magic crystal fragment, and an ordinary magic rune board was born.

The difference between this ordinary form of magic metal rune plate and magic scroll is the difference between double lines and single lines.

Magic scrolls are drawn on parchment with special magic ink. The magic engraving pen only needs to draw the magic pattern array once on the magic parchment. A magic scroll will be successfully drawn. The magic scroll only relies on magic ink. The magic power contained in the scroll can be used to perform the magic skills on the scroll. Most magic scrolls are one-time consumables.

The magic metal rune board is different. It absorbs magic energy from the magic crystal on the gem base. The magic power forms certain magic effects after passing through a specific magic pattern route. The drawing of the magic rune board It is more difficult than the magic scroll. The reason is that the runes on the magic rune board are double magic lines parallel to each other. The plating on the metal plate between the double magic lines is the final magic line of the rune board.

This is the difference between a magic scroll and a magic metal rune plate.

The difference between this metal rune board placed on a tripod and other magic rune boards is that there is no magic metal coating on its surface. There is only a single magic line like that on a magic scroll. The lines are extremely thin, but they are printed just right in the dents of the metal plate. Under the flow of magic power, it exudes a faint aura of fire magic elements.

This magic metal rune board is the 'Fire Gathering' rune board made by the magic imprinting machine in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley.

I found that the biggest advantage of this kind of magic rune plate is that there is no need to add a magic metal coating to the ordinary metal plate. Instead, the magic copper solution is directly injected into the recessed texture of the metal plate through a krypton gold punch to form a picture. Brand new magic pattern array.

Scholar Yerkes lay on the workbench and carefully looked at the 'Fire Gathering' rune board. He used a pair of tweezers to remove the magic crystal fragments from the gem base. The flames on the magic rune board instantly After turning it off, he gently rubbed the magic pattern on the copper plate with his fingertips, and asked me in a hoarse voice: "Jijia, how did you do it?"

"What?" I put down the magic book and put it down.

Scholar Yerkes is a magician with very traditional concepts. In his eyes, only the inscriptionist is the most promising magic profession. If I tell him, this 'Fire Gathering' magic rune board is what I use. The magic engraving machine printed it out. I didn't know if he would say that I was deviant in doing so, so I hesitated a little.

He stared at the detailed magic runes on the metal plate and said to me: "It must be very difficult to embed magic metal into the copper plate, right?"

"Speaking of it, this production process is really complicated..." I rubbed my nose and said to Scholar Yerkes.

Every time he talked about this kind of academic issue, his eyes would light up, and he interrupted me before I could finish.

He said to me: "...Don't tell me the answer. I think I guessed it. You must have dipped the magic carving knife in some magic metal solution, and then used the magic carving knife to draw such a magic pattern on the copper plate. Array, you used Francis Scholar’s ​​liquid magic metal. It seems that this inscription technique is really clever!”

"..." I was a little speechless.

I just wanted to explain it to him. Scholar Yerkes said to me again: "This method of carving inscriptions saves magic metal to a great extent, but when drawing the magic pattern array, will it increase the difficulty of the inscription master's drawing? Of course, this kind of You have overcome the problem. This is indeed a good way to save magic metal. Only the magic lines on the entire magic rune board are made of magic metal. Do you think these inscription masters in the imperial capital can learn this kind of production process? Or you? Didn’t you intend for them to follow suit?”

Yerkes reinstalled the magic crystal fragments into the gem base, and green flames suddenly emerged from the rune board.

"Yes, the biggest feature of this kind of rune board is that the manufacturing cost is very low. I plan to lower the price of some simple magic rune boards so that the common people in the imperial capital can afford to use cheap magic rune boards." I say to the Yerkes scholars.

"The biggest difficulty in drawing this kind of metal rune plate is the magic metal solution. It is said that the Francis scholar in the Alchemy Department has mastered the refining method of the magic metal solution. Some time ago, you and Qige have been focusing on the fine gold solution. "Come on, are you going to let Scholar Francis prepare the mithril solution now?" Scholar Yerkes asked me.

It’s no secret that Scholar Francis from the Imperial Academy of Magic is good at the preparation of magic metal solutions, and the fine gold solution he refined has been used in the fine gold magic pattern red copper rune boards sold by me and Qige’s rune board workshop. Yes, the Yerkes scholars knew this.

I took out a crystal bottle from my pocket, shook the remaining half bottle of magic copper solution, and said to Scholar Yerkes: "It's not mithril solution. A simple magic pattern array does not need to be made of mithril. I’m going to ask Scholar Francis to help me prepare some magic copper solution. There is no magic metal that is cheaper to make than copper.”

Scholar Yerkes asked me: "Are you planning to be serious? Are you really planning to spend all your time drawing these simple rune boards in the future?"

I said: "Of course not. I just plan to take some time to draw a little bit in my spare time. The simple magic rune board will not become the main theme of my life."

"It's great that you think so." Scholar Yerkes said: "Your talent as an inscriber should not be wasted on those magic rune boards used by civilians."

Scholar Yerkes put his hands on the workbench and suddenly said to me: "By the way, today I received an invitation to the Magic Pattern Winter Exhibition, and I plan to participate."

"...Oh, okay!" I said.

I didn't expect Scholar Yerkes to be qualified to participate in the Winter Magic Pattern Construction Exhibition. This shows that the Inscription Guild recognizes Scholar Yerkes' achievements in the most recent period.

I said to the Yerkes, "This is good news, and we should celebrate it. Haven't you been looking forward to a day like this?"

"...Recognized by other inscription masters." Scholar Yerkes smiled lightly and said, "Yes, I have been preparing for this day for a long time."

At this time, Catalina's beautiful face appeared at the window of the magic laboratory. She glanced inside the laboratory and found that Scholar Yerkes was chatting with me. She blinked her beautiful ruby ​​eyes and pointed at the laboratory. The terrace outside signaled to me: Wait for me outside.

I nodded slightly to her, and Catalina's figure flashed and disappeared from the laboratory window.

Scholar Yerkes noticed something strange in my eyes, so he looked back. By this time, Catalina had already disappeared from the window.

Scholar Yerkes rubbed his hands and said to me solemnly: "I want to announce the 'Elegance of Wind' magic pattern structure with the energy-gathering magic ring at the exhibition."

"Okay! I have been thinking about it recently. During this period, we have produced so many primary magic pattern structures, and we always have to find an appropriate time to take them out." I said to Scholar Yerkes.

Scholar Yerkes expressed his inner anxiety: "This may trigger a revolution in the primary magic pattern structure."

He then said to me: "Speaking of which, the largest number of the main construct knights in the Green Empire plane war are still those first-level warriors. If we want to make victory easier, we need to slightly strengthen their strength. These primary magic pattern structures with energy-gathering magic patterns can do just that.”

Scholar Yerkes took out a piece of magic parchment from his magic belt bag. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a map of the Warsaw plane.

Scholar Yerkes told me: "Prince of Wales made those evil ghost legions misestimate the strength of the Royal Constructed Knights in the battle of the Kempato River in the Warsaw plane, and that was why he performed this battle of defeating more with less. Classic battle."

He took out a map of the Kenda plane from his pocket, then pointed to the red area on the map, and said to me: "Look again at the battle of the Oara Valley in the Kenda plane. It is obvious that our empire Gathered the two major legions of the North and South as well as the Royal Constructed Knights Together with the Constructed Knights of Qiyan Province, plus all the troops of the Mo family stationed in the Kenda plane, it can be said that His Majesty Charles has assembled the most elite army in the empire. Unfortunately, he was unable to completely annihilate the Nak of the Kenda plane. The Ma people just sealed the connection channel to the abyss."

Then he asked me, "What does this mean?"

I shook my head subconsciously and said to myself: Maybe the reason for not annihilating all the Nakma people is to avoid greater casualties. After all, the intention of the Green Empire in this battle is very obvious, which is to use the maximum military advantage to defeat the Mo family. The construct knights were pulled out of the quagmire and asked the young master of the Mo family to lead such a construct knights to save the lords in other planes. This rumor spread wildly in the imperial capital.

At this time, I heard Scholar Yerkes say: "To win the war, we need to make our opponents unclear about our trump card. Think about it, if suddenly all the constructs of a construct knights The strength of the knights has improved, will it change the situation on the battlefield? "

But if I want to draw this kind of primary magic pattern construction that can only have a little effect for a knight of a knight group, it will take more than one or two days to complete. If I just expect to draw a primary magic pattern construction for all the knights of the knight group, maybe when all are completed, the plane war will have ended.

I asked scholar Yekis: "Is it possible to have a kind of magic leather that allows us to draw the primary magic pattern construction on it in advance, and when the knights need it, they can directly stick this leather on the knights' bodies and use it?"

"How is this possible..." Scholar Yekis shook his head without hesitation and said to me. "...Oh, it's not completely impossible. Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

As long as Scholar Yekis is immersed in the world of magic pattern construction, he will soon forget other things around him, including me who is chatting.

At this time, he must not be disturbed, so I tiptoed out of the magic laboratory and waved to the waiter waiting in the rest area. The waiter quickly stood up and saluted me. I gently closed the door of the laboratory and walked out.

Catalina was sitting quietly on a bench on the terrace outside the laboratory, quietly reading a handwritten book about the ranger's biography.

Recently, Catalina seemed to like reading this kind of parchment book very much. I leaned over and happened to see an illustration in the book. This part of the illustration happened to be a partial map of the Black Forest area in the Yello plane. I didn't expect that this book introduced the hunting experience of an adventurer in the Black Forest of the Yello plane, and his activity area had already penetrated into the southern part of the Black Forest.

Catalina closed the parchment book, looked up and smiled at me and said, "Can we go now?"

I nodded, then took the parchment book from her hand and asked, "What is the book about?"

"Some adventures in the Black Forest of the Yello plane." Catalina said to me.

We walked down the stone steps together. Katarina asked me as we walked: "Recently, Kalancuo has been training the orc warriors in the pasture for horsemanship, while Bernd has been training the barbarian slaves wearing the black iron armor of the Nakma people in the forest. What are you going to do next?"

"I am waiting for the crossbow arrow tips ordered from North Duisburg. As long as we prepare enough crossbow arrows, we will go hunting in the Yelo plane, at least clearing out the area around Tanton City." I said to Katarina as I walked.

After walking out of the Tower of Pride, I found that snowflakes were floating in the night sky again. The heavy snow before had not been cleared up, and it was about to start snowing again.
