Chapter Two Hundred and Three: A Broken Clue
The red-skinned alien mage Servetz, holding a stack of stone slabs, stepped through the door of the research room. Seeing his figure, Jiwen was surprised. Servitz was the leader of the mages who hid under the caves, and these cautious spellcasters had always been deep and simple, but today he was here for the first time.
Givenz didn't really want to go out in this dangerous forbidden space, but there was a reason why he had to risk getting here.
"You haven't been to the cave in a long time. ”
Sevitz was referring to Given's collaboration with the casters, who were responsible for studying Professor Morris's lecture notes while Adelia was still studying with Professor Morris, and in return, Givens made crystal disks for them.
Originally, this cooperation was very efficient, but then a series of events occurred such as the arrest of Professor Morris and the attack on the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, so that Jiwen was always in the process of being called, and he had no time to care about this matter.
"Lately, I've been in a bit of trouble. However, I'll go to the cave as soon as possible and make a new crystal disk for you. ”
After listening to Given's explanation, Servitz continued to urge: "That's good. People who live in caves are not very patient, and some people are even starting to wonder if you are in default. ”
From Severitz's words, Givens found that he underestimated the desire of the cave occupants for crystal disks. But even such a reason was not enough to get the cautious Servitz out of the cave gates.
"But if you took the risk to come here today, you probably didn't just ask about it. ”
With that, Given's gaze fell on the stone tablet in Servitz's hand.
Sevitz nodded expressionlessly, then spread out the slate, and then took out the crystal disk from under his clothes, Sevitz was the first of the cave mages to use the crystal disk, and Given's work ensured his place in the cave.
"During this time, we discovered something through the handouts. ”
The inhabitants of the cave where Severz is located are the top spellcasters in countless other worlds, who have spent their lives in their own worlds, studying the mysteries of spellcasting. Although the rules of the world are different, their wisdom, experience, and insight can still uncover the secrets that lie beneath the surface.
"Those handouts you gave us tried to explore what spells were and why they existed. Sevitz pointed to the slate and began to explain to Given. The manuscript of the mad professor Morris records a conjecture that the generation of spells has a pure law. Different races have different casting talents because their body structure, tissues, and organs fit this pattern. And the existence of the crystal disc is the result of trying to artificially restore the spell.
The crystal disk that Givenz got was the first piece that Givens gave to the mages, and the mages of the caves studied it hungrily after getting it.
"Acquisition, rebirth, and explosion are the core parts of the handout, and part of the structure of the crystal disc is highly consistent with the theory of the handout. Servitz explained, pointing to the three parts on the crystal disk.
"These elves have already found out. ”
Givenz is a statement, Givens feels very familiar, in the cheats of creating crystal disks, there are similar statements, elf craftsmen actually discovered a similar pattern very early, although the words are different, but the truth is the same. It's just that most of the crystal disk craftsmen and high-level summoners have never interacted with each other, which has kept this secret until now.
Thinking of this, Givens flipped out the notes that Master Niels had given him. This notebook contains several designs and methods of making crystal disks, all of which are related to Servetz's discovery.
Savitz was a little surprised, and after taking the notes and looking at them twice, he was sure that the elven craftsmen were the same thing as his find. But if that's all there is, it won't make him venture here.
"But there is more than one coincidental thing. ”
Servitz cut the last slab through the middle, revealing a hidden pattern. It was a detail of the dissection of several different creatures, carved into the stone slab on which Servitz had carved them.
"I studied a few critters that could cast spells and found the same details on them. Although it is not complete, it is generally in line with the description of the handout, and it is also similar to a crystal disk. ”
Servitz was confident that this part of the research was done secretly by using his spell-casting ability after obtaining the crystal disk, and even his companions in the cave did not know the details of this part.
Jiwen took the slate and looked at it carefully, indeed the tissue textures on the biological anatomy diagram, and some of the structures of the crystal disk,
There are some similarities, but the differences between the two are also obvious. It is somewhat far-fetched and unconvincing to draw such an important conclusion on the basis of these few examples.
Givens seemed to see Given's confusion as well, explaining, "If more spellcasting creatures could be dissected in more detail, perhaps we could know more details about this mystery." At that point, we might be able to replicate the casting structure in the creatures and get those creatures to start casting!"
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, as it seemed to open the door to his regaining his magical abilities in the world. But what he didn't expect was that his words suddenly woke up Jiwen.
By now, he finally understood why the dead Professor James had been in correspondence with the mad Professor Morris, and had finally figured out the nature of Professor James's secret research. In a sense, this conjecture has succeeded, and Mira does possess a strange ability to cast spells after suffering countless horrific experiments.
Professor Morris was right: it was a coincidence that the innate ability to cast spells was not a gift from God or some immutable natural will.
And this coincidence can be reproduced, whether through physical modification, or ...... Through the crystal disc.
Servitz didn't know the shock in Given's heart at this time, he just saw Given's standing aside and didn't speak for a long time. At first he thought his theory was too shocking to Given, but soon he realized that he was wrong. Givens already knew that Servets's guess was right, and that he was thinking about something else now.
"What do you want to get in exchange for telling me this?"
Givens remembered that the mages in these caves were not generous people, and that he had been in this world for so long, and he had slowly become accustomed to these new rules. Savitz came here on his own, apparently, not just to share his thoughts.
Savitz was stunned at first, but soon understood, and replied, "I want you to help me transform my body." ”
"I'm sorry, I can't do it, I know someone can do it, but he's not in this world. ”
The only Professor Jaime who managed to complete the transformation is dead, and the somewhat bizarre elf "Jelly" may be able to do the same. But none of them were summoned beasts, and in this world Jiwen couldn't do that, and he didn't know any summoned beast that could do that.
This answer disappointed Servec a little, so he changed his request.
"Then you're going to remake the best crystal disc for me. ”
Servez knew that his research would indeed help improve the quality of the crystal discs, and if not a new body, then at least a new one.
"No problem. This was something that Givens could satisfy, and he nodded.
After formalizing the deal, Servez began to focus on another thing.
"Do you have any other information?"
Servitz had found that the elves' research was of great use to him. He had already read those lecture notes of Professor Morris, and he was now desperately hungry for new materials.
Givens was very generous this time, and he brought out Master Niels's hedron notes, Professor Morris's remaining manuscripts, Professor Jaime's experiment logs, and the summoning books he had bought earlier. He knew that if Servetz's conjecture was correct, there must be some intrinsic connection between these things.
"These things can confirm your suspicions. If you're really right, then you should be able to help me make a more powerful crystal disk. ”
Given's last half of the sentence pleased Sevitz, so he left the lab with the books satisfied.
After Servez left, Givens took a closer look at the few stone slabs he had left behind.
The handwriting on the slate is concise and clear, and every sentence goes straight to the heart of the matter.
Compared to Given, a beginner, Servec and his companions did show that they were magically proficient. Little by little, they analyzed the principle of the crystal disk of the Ice Arrow.
The parabolic structure transformed by Jiwen forms the receiving part of the spell torrent, and the core part with inlaid spars and complex textures in the middle completes the rebirth of the spell torrent and transforms the spell torrent into ice energy. The base of the final disc and the last few trims form a harmonious firing cavity with the body of the disc user, ejecting the gathered ice energy in the shape of a cube.
They even pointed out the shortcomings of the Givens disc through the experience of using Givenz.
Jiwen's crystal disk, the receiving part is exquisite, the material of the spar is incomparable, the processing of the ornament is pure and skillful, and the texture material that can connect the spar is too weak, unable to withstand the huge ice energy, and wastes most of it, which ultimately limits the play of the crystal disk.
Isn't even frost and cold iron enough?
You must know that Frost Precious Cold Iron is already an extremely precious crafting material, and it is more suitable for ice energy transmission than it?
Jiwen pondered for a long time, eliminating many precious materials, and even the memory of the silver dragon could not provide him with a perfect answer. As he pondered to no avail, Govern suddenly realized that he had missed something.
He's been studying it, but he's always been blind to it.
So, Givens took out "fate".
The sword of "Destiny" is covered with deep lines, carrying the operation of a torrent of spells. Ji Wen knew how majestic the power that burst out from the sword in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest that day, there should be nothing in this world more suitable for the operation of magical energy than those black lines!
But what are those profound materials? Givan couldn't see it, and he didn't even record it in his memory.
Jiwen's fingers lightly touched the blade of the sword, caressing the lines. But the touch of his fingertips didn't help him explore the mysteries inside the metal. Jiwen was unwilling, because he was now looking at the treasures all over the ground, but he didn't know what to do.
Givens didn't know how long he had been watching like this, until a bronze figure reappeared by the empty door, and he came to his senses again.
"Hull, why don't you go to rest?"
It was Hull. Afraid of interrupting Given's thoughts, he stood by the door until Govern spoke and he walked in.
"I heard Harvey say you seem to have a problem, so I'm coming over to see if I can help. "Hull appreciates everything Givens has done for him, so he would love to do something for Givens.
In front of Hull, Jiwen was relatively relaxed, so he sighed, pointed to "fate" on the workbench and replied, "It's really a problem, I can't figure out the materials on this sword. ”
Hearing Given's answer, Hull walked curiously, and then took a closer look at the strange sword.
Suddenly, he bent down, put his nose close to the sword, sniffed carefully, and even stuck out his tongue and licked the sword.
The moment Hel touched the blade, the black magic light around Fate suddenly burst out, hitting Hel and knocking him to the ground.
Given's surprise when he saw this change and quickly subdued Hull.
"Are you alright?"
At this moment, Hull's face was covered with bruises from the magic light, but he didn't seem to care about the pain on his face at all, and instead screamed excitedly.
"Jiwen, I can help you!"
