My Magic Age

There is a pair of boots made of blue wind wolf leather on the test bench. The leatherworker used an iron tire mold to stamp the ankles of the boots like wing-shaped imprints. The arch of the entire boot is designed to be a bit exaggerated. Putting on these boots A pair of boots gives people the feeling of running all the time. This style of boots also has a nice name: "Wind Wolf Leather Boots."

The magic pattern array on this pair of 'Wind Wolf Leather Boots', to me. It is obviously not as difficult to draw the magic pattern array of the 'Wind Serpent Skin Armor'. The wind snake skin greaves require the narrow and long shape of the 'Elegant Wind' magic pattern array, while the magic patterns used on the Wind Wolf Leather Boots are There is nothing special about the magic circle. It is the most common first-level magic such as 'Light Body' and 'Acceleration'.

An excellent inscriptionist must not only learn how to delicately draw exquisite magic patterns on those magic equipment, but also have the ability to tailor-made designs for magic equipment, and then combine the characteristics of the entire equipment to create a certain part of the equipment. Build an inlay hole at the most appropriate position. This inlay hole is used to install the magic crystal. Only with the magic crystal inlaid can the magic pattern structure be unique. It has greater power. To maintain the normal operation of this magic pattern construct, the magic pattern array also requires magic crystals to provide a steady stream of magical energy. The inlaid grooves of the magic crystal stone are crucial to a magic pattern construct. It must not be in a place where the enemy can easily attack, otherwise the magic crystal will be shattered, and the entire magic pattern structure will be considered scrapped, and it can only be regarded as a blank slate equipment at best.

Although I have a talent advantage in drawing magic runes, and I have produced a large number of elementary magic scrolls in recent years, this is not the most important thing for an excellent inscriber. As an inscription master, I mainly have the ability to design magic pattern structures, so I cannot be regarded as a true inscription master. At most, I can be regarded as a magic craftsman who can skillfully make elementary magic scrolls.

Scholar Yerkes is not an inscriber either. The reason is naturally because his hands are unstable. He cannot hold the pen that delivers magic power and ink steadily. Whenever he holds the pen, his hand will become unstable. He was trembling non-stop, so even the most basic magic pattern array could not be drawn. Because of this, when Yerkes and I are paired together, we have a wonderful feeling of being like a fish in water. Scholar Yerkes can be regarded as half of my teacher. Although he has always refused to admit that I am his disciple, he has always been there. Try your best to teach me how to become a good inscriptionist.

"My design concept for this pair of shoes... comes from the design concept of dual-attribute magic pattern construction. For the first-level magic pattern construction, this can be regarded as a breakthrough." Scholar Yerkes said, he He picked up a wind wolf leather boot on the test stand and put it in front of his face. His whole face was almost pressed against it, looking extremely vulgar.

He then turned to look at me, and then said to me: "Even if there are two first-level magic spells engraved on the magic pattern structure, then after the magic pattern structure is successfully produced, it will automatically be promoted to a second-level magic pattern. The construction requires the user's various abilities to reach level 2 magic. The level of texture construction. The shoes I designed must be different, so I want to try to draw a magic pattern array on the left and right feet of this pair of shoes. The difficulty we have to solve is how to combine them. The item’s ability requirements are reduced to the level of a first-level magic pattern construct.”

I sat on the high chair next to the test bench and used a rag to tidy up the ink bottles on the test bench. There was still a lot of magic ink left in these bottles and jars. I wiped the ink stains on the mouth of the bottle clean and curiously Asked Yerkes: "Our financial sponsor is a noble knight who can only wear the first-level magic pattern structure?"

"That's right!" Yerkes blurted out without even thinking.

Later, I found that I had leaked some private information about the benefactor. I felt that this violated the professional ethics of the inscription master, and I looked a little embarrassed, so I added: "But this is not something we have to consider, is it?"

"Okay, I'm just asking casually," I said to Yerkes. In fact, I didn't care who the sponsor of this magic pattern structure was. Seeing that Yerkes was unwilling to say anything, I didn't continue. ask.

I asked the Yerkes scholar, “What good thoughts do you have about these shoes?”

Yerkes quickly pulled out a white notebook from his magic belt bag. The parchment paper he saw had been turned over and had some curls. It looked like it was a portable notebook he often used. He skillfully folded the notebook Turning to a page and drawing "My design plan is to find the two simplest and most practical first-level magics, preferably one of wind type and one of earth type, and then reduce the carrying capacity of these two magic pattern arrays to At the very least, if necessary, you can weaken some skill effects.”

"Do you want me to draw the 'Light Body Technique' on the left foot of this pair of shoes and the 'Acceleration Technique' on the right foot?" I continued to ask the Yerkes scholar with some doubts.

"No, no, no, you can't have two wind magics engraved on a pair of shoes at the same time. The effect of the wind magic will be greatly reduced. We must turn one of them into a simpler other magic." Yeji Si patiently explained to me. At this time, his explanation would become very detailed.

He would often take out some parchments that he had already prepared, and then list the plans that he had already prepared one by one, and we would verify them together. Often at the beginning, I needed to draw the corresponding magic scrolls on some magic parchments, and then do some corresponding experiments, but unfortunately, I tried several different first-level magic combinations throughout the night, such as "Light Body Technique", "Acceleration Technique", "Anti-Gravity Technique", "Endurance", "Fire Path", "Ice Edge Path", etc. Unfortunately, after these magics were combined together, they required a very high carrying capacity, and the required values ​​of all attributes of the whole body also increased a lot at once.

The whole night was spent in such frequent experiments...

For the next three consecutive days, almost every night, we had to repeatedly prove whether these magic skill combinations were feasible, but no plan was suitable for this pair of "Wind Wolf Leather Boots". Seeing that the Yekis scholar's eyes gradually showed faint bloodshot, and the blue stubble on his lower jaw was clearly visible, we originally thought that the "Wind Wolf Leather Boots" was the simplest part of this set of magic pattern construction, but we didn't expect that we couldn't find a clue for three consecutive days.

When the most basic patience in my heart was completely exhausted, the irritability and impatience were clearly written on the faces of Yekis and me. Sometimes, we would even quarrel in the laboratory because of our different opinions, and then we would make up on the next topic. Drawing these primary magic scrolls is extremely boring, especially when I am already very familiar with its drawing process, but in order to control the magic state of the entire scroll, I have to be very careful and accurate to control the output of the magic power in my hands. That invisible constraint makes me want to shout to the sky.

These days, Yekis is still one of the scholars who works the latest in the Magic Research Institute.

In the Magic Research Institute of the Tower of Pride, the lights in Yekis's laboratory will be on until the end every day. Every day we will consume dozens of magic parchments. The magic effects of those magic skills have been reduced again and again by us, but the attribute requirements have not reached the original idea. We have tried any primary magic related to movement speed, but unfortunately once two skills are superimposed, the required attribute requirements will increase exponentially.

Standing in front of the test bench, I hung the magic carving knife in my hand on the pen holder, and successfully finished the last stroke. The magic array on the magic scroll appeared and disappeared from time to time. The intermittent magic pattern array looked like it would be blown away by a gust of wind at any time. This was already the weakest "light body technique". I shook my slightly sore arms, and my eyes became a little sore. I sat tiredly on the chair next to the test bench. Waves of slight dizziness kept coming. I couldn't help but lean my head back. The shirt on my back was pressed against the back of the chair, and I felt a bit cold. I realized that the back of the white shirt had been soaked with sweat, and now it was pressed against my body by the back of the chair, which was why I felt such an inexplicable coolness.

Seeing me showing a trace of fatigue, Yekis scholar remained silent and silently picked up the magic scroll freshly baked on the test bench. With expectation, he pasted the scroll on a rune metal plate. There was already a magic scroll on this rune metal plate. The two scrolls were placed together. As Yekis scholar chanted the magic spell, the two magic scrolls actually burned at the same time, and the magic halo released at the same time, all enveloped the Yekis scholar.

Before the light and shadow effects released by the two magic scrolls disappeared, Yekis scholar stood in the hexagram magic circle and couldn't wait to look at the magic crystal groove next to the rune metal plate, and couldn't wait to ask: "How is it this time?"

The potion in the magic crystal groove has turned orange. This is the 157th failure in three days. I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly at Yekis scholar.

I suddenly found that this color was extremely hateful in my eyes. In the past few days, as long as a primary magic scroll was attached to the rune metal plate, the color displayed in the magic crystal groove would become bright red, no matter what kind of primary scroll it was.

But as long as two primary scrolls were attached, no matter how weak the magic energy contained in the two scrolls was, they released magic energy at the same time, and the carrying capacity generated instantly made the color of the magic crystal groove turn yellow-orange, which means that the carrying capacity requirement of the two magic scrolls has reached the level of the second-level magic pattern construction.

‘It still doesn’t work! ’ I leaned back in my chair and sighed, thinking to myself.

Yekis’s face was as gloomy as the bottom of a dark pot. The wind wolf leather boots placed on the shelf next to him were now so annoying. The smooth leather on the upper was waiting for me to draw a gorgeous magic pattern by hand, but it was a pity that it was not possible now.

"Go back and rest, we'll try again tomorrow!" Yekis said after a pause. He was obviously in a bad mood, but considering that I still need to take a day's course at the Magic Academy tomorrow, and then I need to draw magic scrolls on magic parchment according to the drawings he provided, he was worried that I would not have enough mental strength the next day, so he began to urge me to rest.

I nodded silently, dragged my tired body, and left the laboratory with Yekis with a heavy heart.

…

The magic scholars in the magic research institute would also talk about the magic research topics of each scholar after dinner. These academic researches were originally private matters, but in the institute, there was no absolutely private matter, because every week the scholars needed to report to the institute and report the progress of the magic research topics in the past week.

In the institute, there were more and more rumors about the scholar Yekis, probably talking about him struggling with a pair of first-level magic pattern leather boots. He had a wild idea and wanted to break the conventional plan and draw two magic arrays on a pair of first-level magic pattern boots. This was almost an impossible task, but the scholar Yekis was so persistent in making some changes. Many scholars talked about it and said that this could only increase some extra expenses of the institute for no reason and would not have any results.

This time, many scholars in the research institute had very consistent opinions. If changing the appearance of the magic pattern array of the primary magic skill has some theoretical basis, at least many magic scholars have done such things before, but the change is slightly smaller, but at least someone has made changes before, and Yekis scholars just followed the path of their predecessors. On this basis, they made a great change to the magic pattern array of the magic skill "Elegant Wind".

However, most conservative magic scholars believe that the gap between the first-level magic pattern structure and the second-level magic pattern structure is not as simple as one plus one equals two, just like two first-level magic scrolls superimposed on a piece of equipment, the physical attribute requirement value caused is not as simple as one plus one equals two, so many people think that Yekis scholars have taken the wrong path.

There were more and more discordant voices coming out of the institute. When I first came to the institute to find Yekis, the middle-aged magician I had met once again found Yekis. This time he tried to persuade Yekis to change the design idea. It was just a pair of boots on a magic pattern set. There was no need to make it perfect. Just engrave a magic pattern array of wind magic on it and do some local magic amplification. That would be enough.

But it was obvious that Yekis was not someone who could be easily persuaded. He was still very stubborn and stuck to his plan.

And now, for Yekis and me, the most important thing is to find a skill that consumes very little magic power, so as to ensure that the carrying capacity of the wind wolf leather boots will not exceed the standard.

Walking out of the gate of the Tower of Pride, the starry sky above my head was bright, and the two galaxies intersected in the night sky, like two gorgeous scarves inlaid with broken diamonds.

It was still a bit chilly in the late spring night. There was a figure leaning against the outermost marble pillar of the Tower of Pride. I had excellent eyesight and could tell from a distance that the person was Ivan...
