Chapter 205: The History of Runes (3)
The weather wasn't good, and it was gloomy and a little like night.
But the path beneath our feet is just as clear.
This is Albert, May 15th, today she complained to me about her hair is not shiny, saying that it may be the reason for irregular life and staying up late, and she wants to start sleeping normally again, I think it's a little funny, what does this have to do with not sleeping?
I think there should be something wrong with the diet, and it seems that we have to adjust the ratio of vegetarian dishes and meat dishes, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't have much impact on us whether we sleep or not at this point, right?
Her hair is indeed a little duller than before, and she should be back to her healthy habits.
We were climbing a mountain, a mountain that was not too tall and the road was easy to walk, and there were other mountains nearby, which were connected by undulations, and I think this place should be called a small mountain range.
I started reading again, the book I hadn't finished yet.
When the mind is set on one thing, time will always pass very quickly.

In very old and ancient times, there was a kind of people, and their name was engraver.
They carved the runes directly into their skin, sprinkled paint on the wounds, and the fixed rune lines became an important medium for releasing magic.
Today, the effect of their efforts to master the power of magic is really not very ideal, and there was an infection problem in the wound at that time, and after the wound was infected, it was not far from death, so the mortality rate caused by such a simple and crude "operation" has been high, but there are still many people who don't mind trying, unlike us today, the professionals at that time pursued the law of the jungle.
For people at that time, there was a world of difference between mastering a magic and not mastering it.
People master a rudimentary magic through instinct or rune engraving, or use rune stone as a medium, efforts may not be fruitful, rune stone engraving has an amazing chance of damage, instinct casting is supreme, whether rune engraving can succeed in the end depends on luck, this kind of rough and terrible thing has been passed down from generation to generation, at the level of the times at that time, the height of the social system, that is the limit.
Later, the meditation method pioneered by the elves was born.
In the history books, the image of the elves is not as rosy as it is depicted in many books, and their arrogance led to the First World War, but we must admit that it was they who laid the foundation for development.
Meditation is the technique of fire, water balloon, ground stabbing, wind blade, and healing that can be taught to others.
At that time, the elves found a way to cast spells directly without a medium, that is, the construction of spiritual runes, the magic power charged them, and then released the magic.
At that time, the rune magic seemed really funny to us, a simple fireball technique, it took three minutes to build a rune with mental power, and the power was very small, because the spell casting technique was too primitive, and the magic would collapse if they didn't concentrate, and they were forced to write down spells, memorize spells, and recite them when they released magic to concentrate, and nothing could be done in between, because of some messy primitive worship, and they were also used to performing a prayer dance during spellcasting, which was not like casting spells, but more like dancing the gods.
Unknown forces bring primordial worship, primordial worship brings awe and fear, and awe and fear make worship more firm and religious.
Professions are endowed with a layer of mystery, gaining a transcendent status because they are powerful, scarce, and considered to be favored by the gods, but also because people know what they do not know about casting spells.
Naturally, every spellcaster can easily become the leader of a tribe, and then the other spellcasters can take their place after winning the duel, and the loser becomes the winner's subordinate, because during that dark period brought by the elves, humans hid in the northern grasslands, and the ancestors at that time began to try to accumulate strength and make themselves stronger under the existing conditions because they had no fixed place to live and maintain the ancient tribal system.
Therefore, each generation of tribal leaders at that time adhered to the principle of everything for the sake of development and growth, and successfully transformed the ideology of civilization and became nomads.
In the face of the threat of genocide, the professional put aside all the contradictions, except for the elves, the four races united together, to study the mysteries of magic, at that time, the degree of friendship and unity between the transcendent was even higher than now at a certain level, the development and practicality of magic increased at a terrifying rate, coupled with the quiet infiltration of the stolen elven empire magic mysteries, in the long dormant period, the magic from three minutes of release time, compressed to tens of seconds, the consumption and rune complexity have also been reduced a lot, imitating from the elven military formation, according to the current situation developed by the unique troops, has also become a key counterattack forceγ
And among the ancient artifacts left behind at that time, we found an object that proves the potential of intelligent beings in the face of the danger of extinction.
It was an enchanted weapon.
An original, enchanted weapon with unknown developer's name.
With extremely rare and precious materials, several times more complex than now, so that the surface of the weapon is densely packed without leaving a single gap, and every millimeter of space is maximized by the runes, its power has reached one-fifth of that of modern military weapons of the same function.
And judging from the various evidence we have found, this kind of thing was done by all professionals at that time.
It was tens of thousands of years ago, when everything was rough and primitive, and the restoration of the item and the transcription of the runes directly consumed half a year's time of the staff, and every inch was ground out by them little by little with refractive magic as a magnifying glass.
Since then, the oldest rune groups and rune systems seem to have been established, and rune improvements began to be based on evidence, rather than relying entirely on luck and aimless experimentation, and although still ineffective, it finally became a system.
In the Capital Museum, a picture book of runes from ancient times written with ancient human script, ancient orc script, dwarf script and ancient goblin script is a big proof.
They began to have a broad space for development, and the magic system we have today is beginning to take shape.

"Wife, look. Albert pointed to a columnar-domed building on top of a hill far ahead, "We're almost there." "What. Cecilia glanced up, made a rough estimate, and pouted, "It's so far, we have to walk a day to get there." β
"Okay, it's going to be a day, so let's take a break. He patted the trunk of the tree, "Can you come down from the tree first?" "I don't." "You... "I'm not coming down. "I... "I just don't. β
He stood under the tree and was stunned for a few seconds, and finally sighed: "Whatever you want, if you don't come down, then I'll go up." β
That's a kind of tree, there is absolutely no plant similar to it on the earth, it looks triangular from a distance, like a pyramid, but the bottom line is only half of the pyramid in proportion, and the height is raised by one-third, the height is about thirty meters, it is a rare species in the gravitational environment here, only the top five to nine meters have forks, it is lush and extended, covering an area of more than ten square meters of canopy, and the lower part is all stretching straight air roots, supporting this big tree.
It's not difficult to climb up, it's not difficult for them, he just pulls a few times, kicks a few times, and goes up.
She was waiting for him, and had made room for her beside the branch where she was sitting.
Sitting there, he rubbed his temples: "I don't mind climbing trees as a hobby, but you don't have to see a tree and want to grab it twice, right? "Cut, you climb trees faster than I do." β
Cecilia sniffed, rubbed on him, and then began to look at the scenery, the sunlight was completely blocked by the clouds, but they could still faintly perceive the change in light, and the wind was increasing, so Albert drew the heat energy, so that the wind blowing on his body became a comfortable warm breeze.
The scenery on this is indeed good, all the animals and plants can be seen clearly in front of you, but unfortunately, the sky is not beautiful.
Dinner on this day was settled in the trees.
