"There are several associated deposits in the Adamantite Vein, which are the raw materials for grinding magic ink, so there is also such an inscription workshop in the processing area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Philip took Darko to the Inscription Workshop, and told him some simple rules as he introduced him, "Then you will be the inscription master of the Inscription Workshop from now on, and you must come here on time every day to work, and you can only return to the prison when it is time to finish." ”
Daktronics nodded yes frequently, but his eyes were observing the surrounding terrain and patterns, constantly paying attention to the various situations in the processing area. He had wanted to deal with VITB12 in the mines, but now that plan had fallen through, he had to improvise.
Darko had just followed Philip into the inscription workshop, and saw that there were piles of inferior parchment, some of which were blank, and some of which had glyphs copied on them. The glyphs were all in the same standard, and they were obviously copied for ordinary soldiers on the battlefield.
In battle, there are fighters who are purely used as cannon fodder, and there are elites who are used to fight tough battles. But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that the elite is in the position of cannon fodder, and the cannon fodder happens to be on an important mission. Therefore, each force has combined various factors to provide the most cost-effective glyphs for each warrior in large quantities.
The Gilte Prison's inscription workshop specializes in copying these standard inscriptions, and the finished products are supplied to various churches and guilds. The glyph was the simplest of the glyphs, the kind of work that any magic apprentice would do for two days, in Orlando's parlance. But there weren't many magicians in the Adamantite Prison, so Darko, the inscriptionist, had to work here.
In terms of inscriptions, a secondary profession, Darko has always practiced copying magic scrolls, and his skills in copying glyphs are much weaker and not very proficient. It's as if each class uses a corresponding specialization, and the secondary profession is not necessarily subdivided into categories of specialization, and Darko is naturally an inscriptionist who specializes in magic scrolls.
But that didn't mean he didn't want to practice the art of copying glyphs, just because Orlando, who taught him the inscriptions, preferred to copy magic scrolls, so Darko followed suit. And this time, he had the opportunity to enter the inscription workshop of the Adamantite Prison, and he was able to make up for the shortcomings in the engraving, and at the same time solve the problem of making money, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
In the inscription workshop, there are two inscriptionists busy, both of them are also wearing prison uniforms, but the shackles on their hands have been lifted, and only the shackles on their feet are still worn. Philip didn't talk nonsense, he pulled Darko's hand and opened his shackles with a key, Darko didn't expect the inscription master to have such benefits, and was a little surprised. But after a little thought, it is clear that the most important point in the process of copying the inscription is to maintain the stability of the wrist, if you wear heavy shackles, it will naturally be greatly affected. For the priests, the weakness of the flesh makes them unable to increase their combat effectiveness much even if their hands are free, and the shackles on their hands are of limited use. As long as the shackles are still there, it is enough for them to not be able to use spatial magic to escape from prison.
The two inscribers were working intently, one of them copying the glyph in a pale purple color, and the other copying the glyph in grayish-white. The color of the glyph depends on the ink used, with the lilac being the Raging Ox Impact glyph and the off-white being the Arcane Wisdom glyph, which are used for inlays for the Warfighters and the Priests, respectively.
When they noticed Philip's appearance, they hurriedly put down their work and saluted Philip, obviously Philip's authority in the processing area is not small. Dakko shook his head when he saw this, and the interruption of the glyph in the process of copying was equivalent to failure, which was not only a waste of materials, but also irresponsible for his own profession.
"Alright, Darko, you will work here in the future, I have arranged for the herb workshop to send more materials, and you can copy the glyphs together here." With that, Philip left Darko here and left.
When the two of them saw Darko who had arrived with Philip, they were very happy and greeted him warmly. Darko only thought about it for a moment, and although Philip had said that he would ask the herb workshop to send more materials, it was extremely limited. The kyanite and celestial powder in the associated deposits of the Adamantite Vein are the main materials used to grind the magic ink, and it is because of these mineral materials that the inscription workshop was opened. However, grinding ink does not rely only on these two materials, but also requires a variety of magic plants to grind together. The way for the prison to buy magic plants naturally comes from the free market, but the amount of magic plants brought in by merchants every month is only roughly fixed, after all, they also have to bring other goods such as food.
Therefore, it is impossible for the herb workshop to grind more ink without raw materials, and the workload is naturally fixed. There is so much work in total, and the addition of Daktronics, a newcomer, is bound to reduce their workload, so both of them are very enthusiastic.
Dakko quickly chatted with the two of them, and they became acquainted with each other in a short time. One of these two people is called Mo Ning and the other is called Eminem, and they are both intermediate magicians. Among the prisoners, there were many strong and strong and few who knew magic, so the two were selected from among the prisoners to work in the inscription workshop.
Darko also told them the truth, and when they learned that Darko was a high-level magician, instead of being jealous, they became even happier, as if Darko was their old friend. Darko soon learned the reason for their happiness, although the magic level was not necessarily related to the success rate of copying the inscription, but the abundance of mana could undoubtedly take on more work, so the workload of these two people would be reduced accordingly. In this inscription workshop, the daily salary is five gold ores, no matter how much or how little you do, so why do more?
Knowing this, Dakko also sighed secretly, it seems that there is no processing area with rules set by the appraiser, so it is made into a big pot of rice, which is really a world away from the mining area.
Darko figured out the joints, and said to the two of them more calmly, "Although I am an inscriptionist, most of the previous contacts are the copying skills of magic scrolls, and I am not very familiar with the glyphs, and there are shortcomings, so I also ask the two seniors to give more guidance." ”
Amhaha smiled, patted Darko on the shoulder and said, "That's it, we've all come here like this, if there's anything you don't know, just ask us." ”
Mo Ning also smiled, "As long as we can ensure that the monthly indicators are completed, we will often guide you." There is no need to rush to copy the glyphs, and it is normal to fail more at the beginning. It's just that if the copying fails, the parchment paper should be recycled and reused, and the failed glyphs on the parchment paper should be washed off in a weak acid solvent, which will be more time-consuming. ”
Darko first picked up the magic pen and felt it, although the magic pen provided by the processing area was not as good as the one he had used before, although it was not as good as the one he had used before. After adjusting his condition, Darko began to copy a carved inscription of the impact of the angry ox, each inscription forming a circuit, and translating the magic into the corresponding direction on the parchment, revealing a little lilac color.
The Angry Ox Strike Glyph is not commonly used among high-ranking fighters, as it can only be used during the charge, and is relatively simple. However, it is a different matter for the strength of the group that wins by numbers, and the most lethal thing on the battlefield is the process of charging, except for the melee of the large army. When all the soldiers are inlaid with the angry ox impact glyph to carry out the group charge, it is bound to be able to reflect the strong lethality.
When the first copy was completed, Darko looked at the parchment with a solemn expression and realized that the glyph had not completed the self-examination, that is, it had failed. Dacko had to look little by little for what was wrong, and if he didn't find out and correct it, it was likely that there would be a mistake in the same place later and the glyph copy would fail.
At this time, Mo Ning next to him walked over, "The process of copying the glyphs is a little rusty, but it is okay, and it can also play a role according to common sense, but you have to pay attention to the silt spots on the parchment." ”
"Silt spots?"
"That's right, your parchment has unnatural bumps here and here, caused by a mistake in the manufacturing process. The mass-produced parchment paper is bound to not be very fine, and it is normal for the surface to be uneven, and you should pay attention to the wholeness when you copy here, rather than copying it in the normal way. ”
Darko then realized that the situation was completely different now than when he copied the glyphs or scrolls himself. In the past, he used to use finely crafted parchment, and even when he made his own parchment in an abandoned mine, it was all meticulous and flawless. The parchment in the Adamantite Prison, on the other hand, was made in large quantities and quickly, and the quality could not be guaranteed at all, and it was necessary to adapt to the flaws of the parchment during the copying process.
Darko thought for a moment and asked, "So how to deal with it here......"
"You can come over and see how I copied this part. With that, Mo Ning turned to his workbench and began to copy a new glyph. Quickly copied to the location of the silt point on the parchment, and the tip of Morning's pen adjusted to continue to copy the corresponding inscription, which looked as if it had been distorted.
Darko watched for a while, patted his forehead and exclaimed, "I see! If there is a deviation from the siltation point, the lines of the inscription will be displaced accordingly!"
Mo Ning nodded as he continued to copy, "That's right, especially at the edge of the silt point, in order to prevent the magic flow in the loop from being cut off, use more magic ink. Although this reduces the usefulness of the entire glyph, it ensures the success of the copy. ”
"Well, got it, thank you. Dakko quickly ran back to his place to continue his attempt, and the parchment paper that had failed to be copied had to be washed off in a pool of weak acid solvent next door. Darko was in a hurry to try, and he didn't care so much, so he brought a new piece of parchment and copied it. Soon, the second time was completed, and it failed again.
"Your teacher must be a big man, right?" Eminem stood behind Darko at some point, pointing to the demon on his parchment, "Look at the structure of this inner loop, you habitually use homeopathic connection between the two inscriptions, this is obviously a connection structure designed for 100% output, and your mistake this time happened on this." ”
Darko looked at the fact that there was indeed a mistake here, and analyzed it carefully, and sure enough, he saw that this structure could be simplified, "But if it is simplified, then the output will drop, right?"
"Even if your current glyph is successfully copied, its overall increase will not exceed 30%, because the materials we use are all low-quality products that are mass-produced, which is already a shortcoming, and no matter how brilliant your complex circuit part is, it can't increase its output. ”
"So, this structure is useless?"
"No, of course it works, in fact I didn't realize that anyone could make such a homeopathic connection until I saw it. But ideation and technology need to go hand in hand, and it's never too late to challenge 100% output when your copying skills reach that level. ”
Dakko suddenly realized, hurriedly thanked him, and began to study which positions could be simplified. It took Dakko half an hour to finally reduce a dozen of the circuits to lines, and he began to copy again. Sure enough, sharpening the knife did not mistake the woodcutter, and the parchment of the third inscription successfully completed the self-examination from beginning to end, and he finally succeeded.
This time, the glyph still has a lot of shortcomings, and the output is a little worse than the glyph copied by the other two, but after one success, it will be easier to do later. Darko then immediately threw himself into the work of copying the glyphs, one by one, failing twice in the process, but that was a normal mistake and not a big deal. By the time the end of the day, Dakko had completed five engravings of the Angry Ox.
Mourning and Eminem both laughed heartily when they saw Darko complete the mission, neither of them thought that Darko would be able to complete the task on the first day. As long as Daktronics can maintain this progress, they will have fewer and fewer tasks. The inscription workshop produces 30 engravings a day, and in the past, there were only two people, Eminem and Monin, who had to complete 15 paintings. And Dakko has completed 10 glyphs today, and their tasks have been reduced.
Dakko found that the inscription workshop was rather idle, as it took a little faster to copy the inscriptions than to cast and enchant. Due to the speed of parchment and ink production, even if there were more people in the inscription area, the overall efficiency would not improve. It seems that he did the right thing to bribe Philips, otherwise it would not have been his turn to come to the Inscription Workshop.
Darko also discovered that Mourning and Eminem were not the third-rate inscriptionists he had previously thought. This kind of large-scale copying of the glyphs is not at all comparable to the single work of the academy one by one. What's more, there is also the need for improvisation of those weapons that are not well cast.
An hour and a half after finishing work, in the warden's office, Byron knocked on the door and walked in, handing a document to Antonio. Byron, as the treasurer of the Adamantite Prison, would compile the prison's income and expenditure for that day into a briefing for Antonio to see at this time of the day.
Antonio took five minutes to look at it carefully, then his eyes closed slightly, and he tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Quite a talent, to be able to adapt to the work of the Inscription Workshop so quickly." Look at how fast he's progressing, and if I'm happy with his results, I'll give him the task of repairing the Ice Shield. ”
"Ice Cover!" Byron, of course, knew that Antonio was talking about Darko, and even though he knew what Antonio was talking about Darko, he still exclaimed in surprise, "That's Curtis Hubbard's work, is he a little inscriptionist up to the task?"
"Grandmaster Hubbard is no more famous, and he is also a figure from thousands of years ago, but the magical civilization of the plane has been improving. We should be in awe of the achievements of those who came before us, but we need no reverence at all. ”
Byron looked down and pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "Warden, you're right, so why don't we get that Darko right now and ask him to repair the magic circle on the wall?"
"Let's wait, after all, the magic array on the wall has been broken for so long, and I don't care if it breaks for a while. Antonio's eyes narrowed slightly, "Let him go to the inscription workshop, not only to help him solve the problems of the mining area, but also to make his own lack of skills." ”
