After returning from the Hell of the Dead, Brett threw himself on the inscription, and he found that his strength was still too low. The www.biquge.info needs to improve his strength as soon as possible and learn more advanced magic in order to ensure his safety in the undead hell.
It is generally believed that undead creatures will not die again, but from a human point of view, those low-level undead who only have soul fragments, because the soul fragments are destroyed and only need to be replaced with soul fragments, which looks like no difference. However, highly intelligent undead creatures like the Lich and the Undead Knight, who call themselves the dead, already have independent consciousness, and if their souls are destroyed, they also mean death, and Brett clearly belongs to the latter.
If you wander around aimlessly like those walking dead in the Hell of the Dead, as long as you don't encounter a ghost like Ah Wu, there is no possibility of damaging your soul. But the places where Bright was going were places where lords and powerful undead creatures gathered, and it was easy to run into undead creatures like Ah Wu who could cause damage to their souls. Therefore, the way of insurance still depends on improving strength, and advancing as soon as possible to increase mana reserves is exactly what Bright has to do at this stage.
Bright's own strength is limited by his own skeleton, and he can't be promoted to the next level, which is also the thing he feels most helpless. As a result, he could only rely on external enhancements to enhance his strength, so copying the magic scroll was the most important task at this stage.
During this time, their range of activities expanded considerably, as they often traveled to Phyllis's lab and Orlando dormito, in addition to classrooms, library towers, and dormitories. Darko felt that it was not bad to copy the pentagram between these five points every day, but Bright felt that there was not enough time, and he was eager to verify some of his assumptions on the inscription, always hoping that Darko would go to Phyllis less, and of course Darko would not listen to him, and still arranged his own time. The two also formed a tacit understanding, with Dacko controlling his body in Phyllis's lab and the library tower, and Bright in the dormitory and Orlando.
Over time, Darko also discovers some of Phyllis's little secrets. As a student who had not yet graduated, she did not attend the lectures at all. Darko asked the master and got the result that the credits earned by attending the lecture were too few, and that time to do two more trial tasks could earn several times more credits. Fortunately, Phyllis also has an identity as a teaching instructor, and it seems that lecturing can barely arouse Phyllis's interest, so Darko only goes to her room when the master is not lecturing, which gives Bbright more time to inscribe.
Bright has been trying to complete magic scrolls on his own since he first started working with Orlando, and has spent all the credits he earns. The initial limitation of Bright's success rate is often the instability of the carpal bone, and the lack of ligament restraint makes it difficult to perform small fine-tuning by the wrist. But that changed with the Stability Bracelet given to him by Nightmare, and the perception of his wrist was even more refined by the bracelet.
On the table were parchment, magic ink, and magic pen, which were Bright's tools for inscription. Parchment and magic ink are consumables that need to be purchased frequently, and the magic pen is bought by Bright in an unmanned market, and the workmanship is very average. After all, it is the work of a forger among the students, and it can't be too demanding, and if you want to buy a better magic pen, the price will be much higher.
The materials required to transcribe the inscriptions are divided into three categories, which are matrix, harmonic and fluid.
The substrate is the substrate that carries the inscription, and the parchment used for the scroll and the skin on the surface of the body to which the engraving is attached are the substrate, and such items need to have a large area of plane, so as to provide space for the transcription of the inscription. It also involves the issue of substrate bearing capacity, for example, the skin of the first-order Warcraft is made of parchment, which can only copy the first-level magic scroll, while the skin of the second-order Warcraft is made of parchment, which can copy the first-level and second-level magic scrolls. Similarly, the inlay of the glyphs on the human body also requires sufficient bearing capacity, which is related to the level of the bearer.
Harmonic substance is a layer of substance used to mediate the inscription with the matrix, which needs to have properties common to the inscription material and the matrix material, so that the two can be closely connected. The parchment used to copy the inscriptions was made by smearing them with a mixture of the juices of various magical plants, that is, the process of applying and harmonizing the qualities, which belonged to the skill of the herbalist and did not need to be mastered by the inscriptionist.
Fluids are the liquid used to copy the inscriptions, and the magic ink used for each glyph and scroll is different, and the ink required for different types and levels of magic scrolls is also different. For example, the fire-type first-level magic scroll needs to be copied with the ink of dragon fruit grinding, while the fire-type second-level magic scroll needs the ink of the heart burning fruit to copy. Because the dragon fruit is a first-order magic plant, and the heart burner fruit is a second-order magic plant, the concentration of fire elements contained in each unit is different, and the level of the magic scroll that can be copied is also different. As for the Ice Magic Scroll, you need Ice Magic Plants such as Crystalline Bamboo and Ice Hemp to grind the ink.
The magic pen drew a zigzag line on the parchment, and a complex magic circuit looked like it was about to take shape, but suddenly one of the inscriptions flashed, and a wave of elemental turbulence spread out on the scroll. Seeing this, Bright hurriedly lay on the ground without caring about anything else, and then a violent turbulence of magic swept through the room.
When Bright looked up again, he saw a mess on the table, the scroll he was copying, and the bottle of magic ink on the table had been destroyed. Bright had already experienced such failures many times, and he methodically searched for a few pieces among the fragments of the scroll and began to study the cause of the failure to avoid it again next time.
"Don't be discouraged, keep up the good work. The success rate of ordinary inscriptionists is not very high, failure is normal, don't compare yourself to Orlando, he has a talent for precision. At this time, it was Darko's turn to comfort Bright.
"When copying a scroll, the elbow joint should always be kept at a fixed height, and the pen should be assisted by the wrist. Bright said to himself, and suddenly asked, "Ah Wu, can you help me control the height of my wrist?"
"Ah Wu can only control the master's body to imitate others, and there is no way to control the specified details. Ah Wu is the Ghost King, not an alchemy machine......" Ah Wu hurriedly shouted, every time he copied the inscription, Brett would warn Ah Wu and forbid it to make a sound, this time Ah Wu finally seized the opportunity to speak, "...... If only the master could imitate that little ghost, why should he learn the inscription himself? ”
Brett only focused on the role of Ah Wu, and chose to ignore the other fragments, so he knew that it seemed that it was all up to him to learn the skills of an inscription master. Relaying a piece of parchment, Bright began copying the Ice Moon scroll again. This time it seemed to go relatively well, and no elemental loss of control happened until the entire scroll was copied, but there was no joy on Bright's face. After the completion of this scroll, the points of light for self-examination were messily distributed in various loops, and they did not converge back to the center point at all, apparently because the transcription failed. Examining the details one by one, Brett found that several of the circuits were drawn off too far from the allowable margin of error, and thus failed to do so, resulting in the failure of the entire scroll.
"Isn't it accurate enough? No, I've always copied it with the force and angle of the imitation. Bright was puzzled, looked at his hand, and suddenly realized the problem, "The fingers have no skin, and they can't control the direction of the magic pen. Although the touch and pressure between the hand and the pen mimic Orlando, the lines drawn by the magic pen to the scroll are a little too different. ”
Bright stood dumbfounded at the table, disappointed by the fact that he was frustrated. Seeing that Bright was not in a good state, Darko comforted, "Hey, don't be discouraged, anyway, we are magicians, and we don't have to be inscriptionists to do part-time work." Besides, although your drawing is not accurate enough, it is still enough to draw something beautiful for the owner and give it as a gift. ”
For Bright's comfort, Bright only smiled bitterly in his heart. During this time, because of the need for inscriptions, Bright often went to the library tower to teach himself books on art and magic arrays, although the state of copying scrolls can be memorized, but when it comes to copying by himself, he still needs to use visual observation to choose a specific location, and the necessary knowledge of art and magic arrays also needs to be understood. Orlando shook his head and said that it was impossible for him to succeed when he learned that Bright wanted to teach himself the inscription according to the method of copying, but still recommended several books to him, all of which were about art. After Bright took a fancy to those books, he would draw some art works from time to time, and the more beautiful ones were collected by Darko. And about the basics of inscriptions, he also taught himself a lot.
Bright has a notebook about inscriptions, which records a lot of his experience with the inscriptions, as well as the key points of each of his failures, in which many lessons are learned. Bright carefully recorded the experience of this defeat in his notebook, he looked through the previous record again, and when the mana was partially restored, he stood in front of the table again. Bright did not give up because of constant failure, on the contrary, he tried different failures every day with great will. In each failure, Bright was able to learn more or less and avoid it the next time.
As for not being able to control the direction of the pen, there was no good solution, but Bright decided to use quantity to achieve it. He felt that if he tried enough times, he would always be able to get each circuit to deviate and successfully copy the scroll. Failure after failure did not affect Bright's state of mind, and since there is no end in sight, the process of moving forward is the whole point.
Bright mechanically unfolded a piece of parchment again, soaking up ink with a magic pen and continuing to begin.
Bright has been trying to complete the inscription on his own, and while Orlando thinks it's impossible, Bright insists on trying. The core of the inscription is the structure, each inscription must be copied in a specific position, in addition, in each position, the copying technique, the weight of the line, and even the mana output are different. If you don't understand the corresponding functions in the magic array, you can learn the inscriptions, which can be said to be a fool's dream.
If it takes at least three years to listen to the lectures and learn step by step, Bright wants to improve his strength as soon as possible, of course, he will not learn these huge and complicated knowledge little by little, but he has his own methods. In the process of following Orlando to make inscriptions, Bright memorized the techniques contained in each stroke under the imitation of Ah Wu. It was a very esoteric technique, and it was broken down by Brett into a way that he could understand, the weight of the pen, the speed of the pen, the amount of mana output, etc., the large amount of data generated by these details was more complicated, but it was easy to understand. It can be said that the process that has been broken down in this way has become more complex than simpler. Moreover, the data of these machines is extremely difficult to remember, and it is not something that can be done by human beings at all.
But Bright just remembered!
Orlando conceived the desired functions and functions in his mind, and set up various magic circuits to create the corresponding magic circle according to the flow of magic. Bright didn't understand the meaning of any of the circuits in the magic array at all, and directly copied the magic scroll according to the graphics in his memory. What Bright does is not to create, but to reproduce.
Before you knew it, a whole blue inscription had been copied on the parchment, and dozens of points of luminous light spread out from the center point to the surrounding areas, following different paths between each magic circuit, and finally returning to the center of many inscriptions at the same time. The light converged in the center, marking the completion of the self-examination, and the magic scroll of the Ice Moon Technique had been copied successfully!
Not only Darko, but also Ah Wu and Bright themselves were stunned on the spot, although only one of the three could stand.
"Bright was great, it really worked. ”
"Master, you are so amazing, I already knew that you could succeed. In this way, there is no need to go to the imp in the future, and the master himself will be able to complete the inscription......"
The value of this Ice Moon scroll is not in itself, but in the fact that Brett has confirmed his assumption that he can independently draw the magic scroll with the precision of an alchemy machine. As long as he followed this path, he would eventually become an inscriptionist, and the only thing that would limit him would be his mana level.
But Bright knows that the truth is not as Ah Wu said. The success rate of copying magic scrolls is still too low, and Bright has learned from Orlando that the Alchemy Guild requires only 15% of the success rate for junior inscriptionists. In other words, if you can succeed once out of seven times, you can become a junior inscriptionist. It's just that Bright's current success rate is not even as good as that of a junior inscriptionist, and in comparison, he still imitates Orlando to make money faster. The way to increase the success rate is actually very simple, that is, a large amount, but a large amount also means a huge overhead, and the inscription master is piled up from gold coins in the early stage, and he can only earn money in the later stage.
Both the mana level and the success rate are limited by the body. Because of the lack of flesh, his body could not store more mana, nor did he have the muscles to keep his wrist stable for a long time. When he found that all the problems pointed to this point again, Bright's mood that had just been a little happier immediately became gloomy again.
“…… Master, you are so great! With the magic scrolls you copied, you can walk sideways in the Hell of the Dead, even if you kill those great lords. Ah Wu has been patting the explicit sycophants, and the chattering personality seems to be infected by Phyllis.
At this time, Bright's mood was obviously not suitable for listening to Ah Wu's sycophants, he exhaled heavily and shouted in a low voice, "Ah Wu, shut up for me!"
Wu's voice stopped abruptly, as if a crowing rooster had been choked by the neck.
Bright was silent, picked up the scroll of the Ice Moon from the table and walked out of the room, he decided not to think about the troubles first, but to share the happiness with Orlando first, to relieve the tension of his nerves.
After a few months of getting along, Orlando and Bright became more and more familiar, and every day Orlando would wait for Bright to appear, although the two were only drawing scrolls together, and the content of the exchange was mostly in the inscription, but both sides took what they needed and became extremely good partners.
