Chapter 240: The Silent Film Era

A new product for the Mage's Tower?

Zhang Xun was very surprised, speaking of which, since he succeeded to the throne, he has only seen the mage tower swallowing resources, and he has never seen any products they come out.

After learning that this group of people did not really have the great power to call the wind and rain, Zhang Xun did not spend too much energy to study them, of course, the main reason before was that the energy itself was very small.

But I don't want to be silent, those magicians really made something?

Moreover, looking at Ke Lan's appearance, it seems to be a very confident thing, thinking about it, after so long, maybe the Mage Tower has usually made a lot of things, but most of them may be worthless, or they can't be offered for various reasons, so what can be presented to him is something fresh that is recognized internally.

"What's interesting, where is it?" Zhang Xun was shocked and asked anxiously, he was still very curious about new things, or rather, the only thing that could arouse his interest in this world for the time being was magic.

"At the palace gate, please arrange for your majesty to be carried in. Ke Lan said, paused and added, "If you want to see its function, you need a darker house." ”

Such a mysterious?

Zhang Xun and Levi looked at each other, and naturally agreed, and not long after, they saw two guards walking over with a large object and placing it in an empty room.

It was half a man tall, and underneath it was a huge chassis made of polished stone, or rather similar to the pedestal under the statue, except that the bottom and four sides of the pedestal were flat squares, and the top was a groove, which could be seen to be polished.

In the groove is placed a flat crystal-like crystal with a color similar to a crystal, and inside the crystal, you can see two strange metal rods fixed on the base, which penetrates the crystal, one side of the crystal is empty, and the other edge is covered with a strange metal shell, the overall style is very strange, and the main part is obviously the lens with two metal rods inserted.

Zhang Xun looked down for a long time, and the prime minister next to him also looked curiously, both of them were a little confused.

"This thing...... What the hell is it for?" Zhang Xun frowned.

From the outside, this thing really lacks some awesome elements, and there is no beauty, the key is that no matter how you look at it, it makes people have no idea.

Ke Lan coughed lightly, smiled and introduced: "Your Majesty, this thing is actually not made recently, but there was some theoretical basis in the year before last, and then after continuous trial and error, finally, it was successfully developed not long ago, and the mage tower has been experimented in the past few days, and it can already be used, so I took it, although for the time being, we don't have a good idea to apply it, but we all agree that there must be a huge value worth digging behind it!"

As Zhang Xun's language style continues to become popular, now, the entire Wang Du's speech basically has a strange taste, and Ke Lan is not immune to vulgarity, and when he says it, it is like a product line manager reporting results.

Waving his hand, Zhang Xun directly commanded: "Don't talk about those useless ones, I don't want to know how it was made, now you tell me what is the use of it?"

Ke Lan tugged at the red robe, straightened his posture, and said: "We named this thing the Shadow Stone, as the name suggests, it can imprint a real situation, and then activate it through a specific spell to reproduce it!"

Zhang raised his head quickly and glared at him: "Take a photo?record video?!"

Ke Lan opened his mouth, savoring the two new words "record" and "image" in his mind, he didn't dare to speak, thought about it, and could only say: "It's hard to say the specifics, in this way, the Mage Tower has already imprinted a picture during the experiment, please show it to you now." ”

"Okay! I want to see it!" Zhang Xun said very seriously, and the state of the whole person was different.

Ke Lan looked left and right, but he was puzzled: "The room is still a little bright." ”

Zhang Xun had a certain guess in his heart, and immediately ordered someone to find a thick cloth to seal all the windows, but it was too late to seal them for the time being, a group of guards simply pulled the cloth to each other and stood on the stool, using their bodies as a support, covering the windows tightly, and suddenly, the brightness of the room suddenly decreased by one level.

It's a little dark.

"Is it okay?" asked Zhang Xun.

Ke Lan nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

With that, he beckoned one of the guards next to him and asked him to turn the heavy object downwards so that its metal edge obscured it was against the wall of the empty room.

Then I saw Ke Lan bend down and take out a soft object from an invisible groove in the pedestal, and slowly put it on the metal sleeve of the crystal.

Zhang Xun watched Ke Lan's actions, and when the whole picture stone was slowly revealed, a sense of familiarity hit like a tide.

After that, I saw Ke Lan put his hands on the crystal, and recited a spell in his mouth in a low voice, and then I saw that the crystal stone slowly lit up, turning from dim to bright, and most of this brightness was only on the side facing the wall, and a huge round spot of light was cast on the wall, and then after a short wait, a figure appeared on the wall.

The figure was an old man, the whole person was gray and white, without color, but it could be seen that it was a living person, wearing a robe with a magician's logo, and was cautiously walking in from the edge of the light spot, and then stretched out his head, and looked at everyone vigorously, with his appearance, there were several curious figures of magicians with different appearances behind him, these magicians seemed to be talking about something, but there was no sound, only their mouths were moving, and their limbs were moving.

The whole room was silent, and Prime Minister Levi's eyes widened, like a cow, staring at this strange scene.

The rest of the guards and palace maids who joined in the fun did not have the calm bearing of the prime minister, they were completely frightened, and these people even let out a burst of exclamation, retreated again and again, and then covered their mouths with hindsight, but there were some different degrees of fear in their eyes.

The guards who stood on the stool blocking the window almost planted down one by one, but fortunately, they saw that His Majesty the King in the middle of the room was motionless, not only did he not have any fear, but the whole person showed a state of extreme joy, His Majesty the King was like this, they had the backbone, and they did not really mess up, but they all stared at the wall vigilantly and fearfully, and they did not even dare to breathe.

In the whole room, except for Ke Lan, who has seen it many times, there is only Zhang Xun who can still maintain a positive state, and Zhang Xun has completely determined what this thing is at this time, and therefore, the whole person has become extremely excited, and the excitement on his face can be seen by anyone.

In this atmosphere, the light and shadow continue to play, as if a long time has passed.

But in fact, the whole short film ended quickly, the light and shadow dimmed, the image disappeared, and the room returned to darkness.

"Master Ke Lan!" Zhang Xun ignored these, just turned his head to look at the court mage in red robes, and said, "How long can this thing be recorded?!"

"Your Majesty, the length of the record mainly depends on the size of this spar, and the amount of magic instilled in it, as far as the shadow stone in front of us is imbued, if it is infused with magic power, although we have not tested it, but according to the current consumption rate, it should be able to record for about an hour at most. ”

One hour! That's about two hours!

Zhang Xun's eyes lit up, and then he asked: "Then this thing, how many times can it be played back at a time?"

Play, another new word, but Ke Lan can roughly understand its meaning, he hesitated, and said: "This has not been tested yet, but we have done about a hundred experiments with smaller shadow stones, and there have been no problems, so it can be speculated that it can be played at least more than 100 times." ”

"And how much does it cost to make this kind of thing?"

"It's a bit expensive, if you convert it into a third-level magic stone, such a one, it's about equivalent to five, and if it's a first-level magic stone, it's about fifty. ”

Zhang Xun couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud: "Enough!"

He laughed, stepped forward to take Ke Lan's hand, and said with joy: "Master Ke Lan, do you know that this thing will open a great era!"

“…… What era?" Ke Lan didn't know why, and the whole person was stunned.

Zhang Xun's eyes flashed, and he said word by word: "Silent film era!"
