When Darko came downstairs with two glyph scrolls, Phyllis was the only one in the living room eating some kind of nut. When Phyllis saw Darko coming down, she immediately jumped up and grabbed the scroll, took a look at it, returned it to Darko, and dragged Darko down the stairs, "They're all in the basement, follow me!"
Darko followed Phyllis to the basement, and saw that next to the flower field in the middle, Otto was holding it up with one hand, controlling the Dou Qi condensed in the palm of his hand, and above his palm there was a Dou Qi mass constantly changing shape. Kevin was by Otto's side from time to time, and there were many similarities between the work of a jeweler and a pharmacist when it came to controlling objects with magical powers.
In the middle of the flower field, the tall figure of the orc stood in the center, and Liya was picking out the magic plant on the side, holding a reagent bottle in her hand, from time to time she pulled out an herb from the flower field, extracted a little juice from it to drip into it, and when it was filled with a bottle of potion, she spread the liquid evenly on the skin of the orc. This is an herbal formula that hardens the epidermis, and although it is nowhere near as strong as stone skin, it is not as time-limited as the technique, and as long as you apply this reagent every day, you can maintain the effect of blessing and defense on the skin all the time.
Wendy leaned against the edge of the basement, her feet completely off the ground, and a brand new cloak in her hands, as if she was thinking about how to enchant it. After returning Darko's cloak, she needed to get another cloak of her own that would hide her face from being seen when she went out.
Darko followed Phyllis to Otto and handed the two copied engraving scrolls, who took them and opened them before closing them and placing them on his forehead. Otto's mental power is not strong, and he must be attached to his forehead to perceive the glyph in it, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said to Darko, "It's really a good glyph scroll, even with my mental power, I can feel the power in it, and judging from the lines on it, it is also very exquisite, better than the glyph scrolls I have used before." ”
Kevin, who was on the side, had also been carefully observing the scroll, and he held his chin and said approvingly, "It's really good, the lines of the glyph can be so neat, like in a textbook, it seems that the bearing capacity required will be very small, Daktro, your inscription technology is getting more and more powerful." If I hadn't known that you were being hunted down, I would have doubted which Grandmaster-level inscription master you had studied with the previous year. ”
The glyph inlaid into the human body surface needs to occupy a certain bearing capacity, usually the theoretical value of the bearing capacity occupied by each kind of glyph is different, and different inscriptions because of different levels, the bearing capacity occupied by the carved inscription is also different. It is not uncommon for people to face this dilemma, because the previous glyphs occupy more bearing capacity than the theoretical value, making it impossible for the later glyphs to be inset. Conversely, if each of the previous glyphs occupies a small bearing capacity, then more space can be reserved for later glyphs. The two glyphs copied by Darko had been as accurate as he could, so that the required carrying capacity was kept within a small range, and although it had not yet reached the limits of theory like Orlando, it was already very valuable for ordinary people without the gift of precision.
Several other people also noticed the noise at this time, and gradually gathered around, gathered around Darko's scroll and watched. Wendy poked out her spiritual power, felt the magic fluctuations in the glyphs, and then nodded with a smile, "A year ago, your spiritual power was only very large, but now it seems that it has been very condensed, and it can be evenly distributed throughout the entire copying process, so that the ink attached to the entire scroll is very even, it seems that you can be very powerful even if you are an enchanter." ”
Leah was also very impressed, "The ink I grinded by myself has become a scroll of glyphs like this, what a sense of accomplishment, Darko, you are awesome!"
Phyllis lifted her chin and said, "Of course, I taught it all well!"
Darko smiled and said to Otto, "You can insert two glyphs into them, and then you can try to see if you can refine the medicine." ”
Otto nodded, took off his light armor, and pulled off his clothes. I saw that there were already four intricately patterned glyphs on his chest, three of which were located at the three vertices of a triangle, and one of which was near his shoulder.
Since the Drain and Flame Hand glyphs are both glyphs for enhancement spells, and their insertion is close to the release of the spell to make them work, Otto chose to mount the two glyphs on his left and right arms.
Otto placed the two scrolls on his left and right arms, and his eyes were closed, and the light on the scrolls lit up faintly. Among them, the scroll of the Drainage Technique Glyph lit up with a pale cyan light, while the scroll of the Flaming Hand Glyph was a red and yellow light, and in just a moment's effort, the light had reached the extreme, and then disappeared in an instant, as if the light had never existed.
Two scrolls fell from Otto's body, the inscriptions on them had disappeared, and the same pattern appeared on Otto's body, and there were dots of light on them, like fireflies. These rays of light flowed in an instant, refocused on one point of the glyph, and then dimmed, which was a sign that the glyph had been able to function normally.
"How do you feel, can you refine the medicine?" asked Phyllis impatiently.
"Don't be in such a hurry, come step by step, let him feel the two elements of water and fire with his spiritual power first. Kevin corrected, and Phyllis could only look at him angrily.
Darko thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It seems that you should use your spiritual power to connect the glyph first, right?
Wendy muttered, "It's just that this glyph itself plays a role in controlling mental power, and the mana is provided by Otto himself, so it should be by manipulating the mana in the body to release magic, right?"
Several people were talking around them, but Otto, as the protagonist, didn't seem to hear the voice next to him, just closed his eyes alone and didn't know what he was thinking. Half an hour later, just as the discussion among the onlookers was heating up, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and then he raised a hand, on which a silver-purple electric light faintly appeared, and the thunder and lightning became stronger and stronger until finally it was no longer possible to look directly.
Wendy on the side thought for a while and said, "You channeled the thunder element, try to channel the magic according to the previous method of the flame hand and drainage technique, and split the thunder element into two, becoming the water element and the fire element in the two hands." ”
Wendy's voice was accompanied by a mental shock, and the sound was directly transmitted into Otto's brain, causing him to pause, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Wendy's words. Then his magic was activated again, and after a few moments, a cluster of flames and a ball of water formed in the palms of his hands.
Seeing that Otto succeeded, everyone cheered at the same time, only Kevin was still looking at the two groups of elements that were channeled out, and said to Otto, "Don't stop, continue to try to adjust the strength of the output mana, divide the output strength into five levels from the highest to the lowest, and make various adjustments without interruption, so that the two elements can make different combinations." ”
Wendy is good at magic control, so she has a deep understanding of the spiritual power to guide the elemental output, but when it comes to the skill of elemental manipulation, Kevin, who is actually a jeweler, is even better. It's just that the jeweler needs to control the fire element and the earth element, while the apothecary needs to control the fire element and the water element, but the essence is actually the same.
Otto finally opened his eyes, he looked around for a week and said, "Both skills are easy to unleash, but they need to be practiced a little more in terms of control." ”
Leah clapped her hands and smiled, "It's good if we succeed, we still have a lot of time! ”
After that, there is the more boring test and experiment stage, which requires Otto to to constantly output the two elements under the guidance of a few people, and memorize the relevant output, the water element is better, mainly the output of the fire element, the heat in the refining potion is very important, and the slightest difference may fail. It was a boring process, and after a while, Leah was back to work in her garden, and Phyllis was gone.
Kevin specially formulated five grades of firepower output for Otto, which are simmering, small, medium, large, and agni, in fact, the control of fire in alchemy is the top priority, far from being able to refine five grades of firepower, but Otto is a novice, and he must start simple.
Wendy taught Otto a set of exercises to increase his magical control, and asked Otto to practice it. This is actually also needed to control magic, alchemy must not only control the flames, but also control the potions that have been painstakingly refined, and Otto, who has no mental power in this regard, needs to be even more cautious.
Otto's level is there, and he already has extremely strong mana skills, and the mechanism of releasing magic through glyphs is different from that of magicians releasing spells, and it completely relies on the power of muscles to control spells, and this is exactly the skill of high-level samurai, and it only took Otto half a day to fully master the operation of the Flame Hand and the drainage technique.
Darko was not idle, he stayed on the sidelines, observing Otto's movements as he unleashed his magic and the mechanism of action of the glyphs on his arms. This is the first non-standard glyph that Darko has copied, and naturally it is very fulfilling, although it is only a part of the corresponding magic scroll that is split out and some changes are made, but it is also considered that Darko himself designed the part of the change, as for Wendy, in fact, he just put forward an idea.
"Otto, you're part of our team from now on!"
"Team!" Otto was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
The team members who participated in the competition were completely formed, with Phyllis Nike Remones as the decomposer, Leah Lopecchi as the herbalist, Kevin Costner as the jeweler, Wendy Roberts as the enchanter, Darko Nike Remones as the inscriptionist, and Otto Wiedermeire as the apothecary.
Back in the living room on the first floor of the tree castle, everyone sat around the tree stump and began to discuss the specific competition plan. First of all, Phyllis took out a blank piece of parchment and slapped it on the stump, "Now that the six team members are together, let's start discussing how to divide the spoils!"
Leah said dissatisfiedly, "This is not called sharing the spoils, it should be called the benefit distribution plan!"
"This contest hasn't started yet, why are you starting to discuss how to distribute the prizes?" Dacko was speechless for a while.
Wendy covered her mouth and chuckled and said, "Let's make a profit distribution plan first, so that everyone can work together to prepare for the game." ”
Kevin also looked at Darko and said, "The spoils are unevenly distributed, and how many heroes and heroes are defeated at this point." Sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils, without discounting, this is strict training!"
Otto nodded approvingly.
Darko realized that he was now on a team, unlike when he and Phyllis could be separated from each other. Before he knew it, he had entered a more complex social group.
"The upfront investment mainly includes the cost of Tree Castle seeds, daily expenses, orc warriors, and various practice materials. Leah pulled out a piece of parchment with a detailed description of the money to be invested and the money she planned to invest.
"Well, that's right, the money in the early stage was all paid by me and Leah!" Phyllis suddenly suggested in a seductive tone, "But as long as you give me your share of the collection selected after winning the championship, not only can I pay the previous money, but you can also get an additional five thousand gold coins of interest." "Phyllis came up with such a concrete plan so quickly, obviously prepared for it beforehand.
Kevin was the first to shake his head, "The reason why I participated in this game You know, I can't give you the choice of the collection, the amount invested will be counted as my share, and I will pay the credits." ”
Wendy also said, "I'd like to see if there are any special items in the collection hall so that I can have a better chance of winning against the Tempest Church in the future." ”
Otto was originally a character who didn't care about everything, but at this time he also thought about it and said, "I want to see if there is a shield in the collection hall, it must be a little better than finding a forger to build it, I can pay for magic crystals." If you don't have a shield in the collection hall, it doesn't hurt to give you that share. ”
"Shields are everywhere, how can there be no ones in the collection hall. Phyllis muttered, she had expected this to be the outcome, and she asked like that just in case, hoping to take advantage of it. But after all, the opportunity to enter the collection hall and choose a piece of equipment is too rare, and it is very tempting for everyone, and no one will easily give it away.
Phyllis and Leah are both from large families, Kevin and Wendy don't care much about money, and Otto is a character who doesn't care about everything. As long as the upfront investment is generally fair, everyone doesn't care about some odd gains and losses. After more than half an hour of profit distribution, the six people reached a consensus on the plan to share the spoils.
The final result was that Wendy, Kevin and Otto paid Phyllis and Leah respectively with gold coins, credits and magic crystals as an early investment, and Darko's magic crystals were already recorded by Phyllis, which is equivalent to using Darko's space ring to help Phyllis keep it, so naturally there is no need to pay additional gold coins.
After the plan for dividing the spoils was decided, the time was not too early, and everyone made an appointment to go to the Alchemy Guild tomorrow, and they each went back to their bedrooms on the second floor to rest. Tomorrow, Darko, Kevin, and Otto will need to be certified as an inscriptionist, jeweler, and apothecary, respectively, before they can sign up for the Alchemy Grand Prix together.
