Wizard: I want to be a top student

Chapter 99 Disposable Rune

A piece of enchanted beast hide, a spider velvet pen, and a box of elemental ink, these are the tools he needs to draw a one-time rune.

"Whether it is refining or enchanting, the initial investment is relatively large, and it is really difficult for new apprentices." Looking at his enchanting tools, Ivan couldn't help but sweat for other newcomers.

The hide comes from a kind of enchanted beast that is friendly to earth energy. This processed hide is an excellent material for carrying runes. Enchanters call it "rune scroll". This kind of rune scroll has good stability and is suitable for novice enchanters. The price is not cheap, 1 magic stone 3 small pieces.

The spider velvet pen is produced by the guardian clan of the academy, that is, the eight-clawed black spider that asked the wizard Bernardson for the password when entering the academy. They are friendly and intelligent races that have signed a covenant with the academy and guard outside the academy day and night.

A good spider velvet pen 5 magic stones.

Elemental ink is made from elemental powder and swamp octopus ink. It can be regarded as a special potion. The runes carved with it have good water resistance, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance. It dries quickly and will not fade easily. It also has good energy particle conductivity.

For the sake of safety, Ivan did not mix the elemental ink, but chose to buy a high-quality ink cartridge directly from the store. The ink cartridge has four compartments, which are respectively filled with elemental inks of plant, water, earth, and fire. The big box is worth 10 magic stones.

"It has been simulated hundreds of times, and it feels different when it comes to the real thing."

He picked up the rune pen twice, pondered for a moment, and put it down again. He didn't write for a long time, and always felt that there were some things that were not well thought out.

This is very different from the situation when refining medicine.

When he was refining medicine, it was often because of a small change in the process that he felt that it was difficult to refine this time. But this was not the case. He felt that it would be difficult to succeed in enchanting this time just when he was about to start. This is why he didn't write for a long time.

There is a saying in the book: Runes are changeable, and enchanters need to understand runes from their own perspective.

In fact, the thread text he is learning now is the understanding of three-dimensional runes by an ancestor wizard, whose name is ‘Needam’, so people call it ‘Needam language’.

Needam language is just one of the thread texts used to interpret three-dimensional runes, and it is also the most widely used one.

The meaning of the phrase runes are changeable is that you can’t carve thread text by rote, you have to have your own ideas, so that you can become a qualified enchanter.

Carving runes requires adapting to local conditions and materials. At present, it is necessary to carve the most suitable thread text according to the characteristics of the animal skin itself, so that the thread text can show the power of the ‘solid rune’ as much as possible.

“Failure is failure, and it’s not that you can’t afford to fail.”

Ivan knew the most fundamental reason for his hesitation. There were too many good ideas and he couldn’t tell which one was the best. He secretly warned himself not to be too ambitious.

Animal skins have been processed by people and are most suitable for novices.

After he checked it again, he concentrated for a few seconds, outputted his spiritual power and mana to the tip of the pen, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink and decisively fell on the animal skin, quickly and steadily engraved the interpretation line text of the plant-based "solidity symbol".

In one go.

The engraving was completed in the blink of an eye.

Ivan put the pen aside and looked at his masterpiece.

The ink on the animal skin dried up quickly, and after drying, it still retained a unique freshness, as if it could still flow along the lines.

"It is worthy of being a high-quality elemental ink, which looks pleasing to the eye."

It looked good on the outside, he carefully sensed its inner qualities and began to score according to the standards of enchantment.

After a while, he came to a conclusion that the completion degree was only 23%, which meant that only 20% of the power of the rune could be displayed. This was undoubtedly an unqualified enchantment.

After making a judgment, he activated the rune, and a ball of emerald green energy emerged. It collapsed significantly when it left the animal skin and dispersed into the air. The animal skin in his hand changed from soft to hard, like the ground after being exposed to the sun, full of cracks.

"It failed as expected."

He muttered to himself. The 20% completion rate made him realize that his so-called good ideas had limitations.

Unlike the truly powerful enchanters, they would just find a place, take a glance and come up with an idea, then pick up a pen to carve the lines, easily revealing the full power of the runes, and set up a rune magic array on the spot. The ideas of such people are truly good ideas.

But he was not discouraged. He believed that he would become such an enchanter sooner or later.

In the following days, making disposable runes became an important part of his daily life, and his understanding of runes and enchantments was gradually enhanced.

On this day, Ivan was taking a paid biological anatomy class.

[Biology Experience +1]

[Biology: lv2 (1br200)]

Biology was upgraded to level 2 as expected. The light of small wisdom lingered around him, allowing him to have a further understanding of biological anatomy and creatures such as the Swift Wood Silkworm, and at the same time obtain a level 2 wisdom light.

Two days later, Ivan fed Jiang Xia Water to the Swift Wood Silkworm and watched the Swift Wood Silkworm absorb the drops of medicine and integrate the curse power in it.

[Curse Learning Experience +1]

[Curse Learning: lv2 (1br200)]

Curse Learning has been upgraded to level 2. Although he has a small wisdom, he still has only a limited understanding of curse knowledge. Fortunately, he has gained a level 2 wisdom.

The continuous upgrade of subjects made him feel that he had come to the right place at the Wizard Academy.

Time passed day by day. It had been twelve days since he last came to the pharmacy. Ivan once again stepped into the pharmacy. This was his third time to this place.

"Mr. Ivan, please come in." Seeing him appear, Orrick, who was lying like a salted fish, jumped up with a smile on his face. "Are you tired after coming here? Do you want to lie on my chair for a while----"

"No, I have something to do later." Ivan was not used to the way Orrick treated big customers, so he interrupted him to prevent him from saying something more exaggerated.

"That's a pity. If you have any requirements, just ask. As long as it can be done, I, Orrick, will never be vague." Orrick checked the medicine he took out and promised solemnly, almost patting his chest with his hand.

Ivan's heart moved, and he conveyed a word obscurely through his spiritual power. He looked at the other party's expression.

"What kind of medicinal materials do you need this time? Please rest assured that the medicinal materials here are absolutely the best. I guarantee that they are carefully selected and arranged properly for you." Orrick seemed not to hear it and promoted his own medicinal materials as usual.

A moment later, Ivan came out with many raw materials, and he had 370 lower-grade magic stones on him, which seemed to be 60 less.

At the door of the pharmacy, Conley looked at the back of the person walking away quickly in surprise. He wanted to call him, but he was in a hurry and disappeared around the corner in a short while.

"Strange, why did Ivan buy so many materials? Could it be that he can already make basic potions?"

Conley stood at the door and frowned, thinking. He felt that this possibility was the greatest. Thinking of what Ivan said before, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Then he entered the pharmacy and found that the owner was lying on the recliner again, with no intention of getting up to greet guests.

In fact, Orrick took a subtle glance.

He remembered that Conley had come here once before. Last time, he bought a set of second-hand medicine refining equipment and 1 magic stone of hemostatic potion raw materials. Such a person was not worth getting up for Orrick, not to mention that he had just made a large sum of money and had to take a good rest after being tired for so long.

Conley had no idea that he was being looked down upon. If he knew how Orrick treated Ivan and himself differently, he would probably be so angry that his face would turn green. After all, he was a prince of a principality and had never been treated differently like this.
