Thunder
In the enclosed cabin, Dakko intently copied the glyphs. The silver-white ink looks like mercury, but in fact it is a high-grade ink that is mixed and ground by a variety of magic plants and materials such as frost crystal powder, snow silk grass, and ice fly eggs, while the yellow and blue parchment paper is made of the skin of the fourth-order demonic beast Ice Armor Ox Deer.
There were already two failed half-finished paintings on the table, and he was copying the third, which was nearing completion. The combination of loops on the inscription at first glance looks like a fragment of irregularly shaped snowflakes, in which the lines crisscross and criss-cross, forming more than a dozen circuits with different functions, and the overall appearance looks like a half-body armor pattern.
When the last stroke in the center of the glyph ends with a T-shaped structure, the silver-white light on the entire glyph radiates from the center to all sides, and for a moment suppresses the light of the lighting in the cabin. It wasn't until the self-examination of the engravings was completed that Darko raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead and examined his work with delight.
After months of intense practice before the Alchemy Grand Prix, this standard glyph was no longer difficult for Darko, who only failed twice and succeeded the third time. This is also because he is strict with himself, if he is more conservative, he can guarantee a success, but the effect of that kind of engraving will be worse.
Through the intensity of the light on the glyph when completing the self-inspection, Dakko judged that the increase of this frost armor glyph should be more than 3o%, which has reached the level of a fine product. As for the specific increase, it is necessary to conduct further experiments after the engraving is inlaid on the body.
After a short rest, Darko took off his magical robes, picked the glyph off the table, and pressed it neatly on his back. The spiritual power precisely controls the operation of the magic power, gradually connecting the magic cycle on his back with the circuit on the glyph, which has been transferred to the surface of his body one by one from the edge to the center. There is nothing special about the whole process, just a little cooler because of the gathering of magic. Darko closed his eyes and felt the new glyph on his back, then cast a spell of frost armor and took out the magic clock and placed it on the table to time it.
As the minutes ticked by, the Frost Armor vanished at 31 minutes and 16 seconds, and then Darko cast four more spells on the Frost Armor before waiting for it to disappear naturally. The whole process took nearly three hours, and the duration of the frost armor without external interference was 32 minutes and 45 seconds, compared to the previous duration of his frost armor was only about 24 minutes and 3o seconds.
Due to the Frost Armor Glyph, the Frost Armor's defense resistance has also increased, but this test requires the cooperation of others to continuously attack his Frost Armor. Because the output of the other party also fluctuates, the accuracy of the test is also poor. Fortunately, all aspects of the standard glyph are well documented, and the increase in defense is about the same as the increase in duration, which means that Darko's Frost armor can block more attacks in battle. It is very important to know this data so that you don't cause unnecessary damage due to being too slow to replenish your shield in battle.
Through the ratio of the duration time before and after, Dakko quickly calculated that the specific proportion of the increase was 33.67%, which was already a very high increase in the frost armor inscription. There is a theoretical extreme value for this standard glyph, which means that the increase limit is the limit of the increase when the entire glyph is perfectly copied according to the standard structure. The theoretical extreme value of the Frost Armor Inscription is 34.5%, with an intermediate inscriptionist being able to increase by 22%, a senior inscriptionist by 3o%, a master inscriptionist by 33%, and a Grandmaster inscriptionist by more than 34%. From a numerical point of view, the gap between the master level and the grandmaster level is very close, and it is difficult to reflect this little increase in battle. But it is this 1% difference that creates a huge gap in selling prices.
On the market, the price difference between 34% and 33% is much higher than the price difference between 33% and 3o%, and the price of Daktronics' 33.67% increase in frost armor will also be several times higher than that of ordinary master works.
Because the closer you get to the theoretical extremum, the more difficult it is to improve. Glyphs are like that, they can only be infinitely close to perfection, but they cannot be attained. It is not possible to break this limit unless a non-standard glyph of a new structure is studied, but after changing the structure, there will be another theoretical extreme.
Thinking of the non-standard glyph, Darko suddenly remembered the glyph that he had rubbed from Hudson before, and he hurriedly found it from the spatial ring, and studied it little by little from the whole to the details. The glyph as a whole is in the shape of a crossed electric glow, and in the center is doped with a circle of azure blue, like a cogwheel magic circuit.
When this glyph Darko first got his hands, there was a non-standard glyph, but he couldn't understand the structure, it stands to reason that the glyphs are used to enhance a certain kind of magic skill, so the shadow of that skill can be seen from the structure, but Dacko is still confused after looking at it for a long time.
At this time, Darko suddenly thought of the light of temptation when he fought against Missouri, Darko suddenly felt that he had captured something, and hurriedly picked up the glyph and looked at it carefully, sure enough, there was a complete casting circuit of the light of temptation, because he didn't see him use the light of temptation when he fought Hudson, so he didn't think about it that way.
The part of the circuit that has the effect of the light of temptation is overlapped with the other part, and Dakko directly excludes the part that plays the role of casting the light of temptation, and then looks at the glyph, and quickly sees the clue. It was the glyph of the Amplification Thunder Shock Technique, which could increase the range and strength of the Thunder Shock Technique a lot.
But why is there a spell casting circuit mixed with the Light of Temptation? Darko quickly remembered how Hudson had used Thunderquake. He pressed his palm down, and a bang rang out, interrupting even a spell like Darko's silent chanting ability. Darko was suddenly startled, he finally knew why Hudson's thunder shock technique was so powerful, it turned out that the light of temptation that confused the mind was integrated into the glyph, so that the sound of the lightning shock spell would have the effect of the light of temptation.
The Light of Temptation is a second-level lightning magic, which paralyzes the brains of the monsters through the electric waves of thunder and lightning, causing confusion in the minds of the monsters that only have a low level, and even has a certain probability of turning the monsters into their own pets. This kind of demon pet does not have to sign a contract, and it is not subject to the restriction of spiritual power, but it is also very dangerous in the event of a rebellion.
It is precisely because it directly attacks the brain of the receiver in the form of radio waves, causing the demonic beast to think disordered, that it will be summoned as a pet by the caster. It is not the light in the light of temptation that plays a confusing role, but the radio waves that come out with the electric light, but the electric light is invisible and intangible, but the electric light is very conspicuous, so it is called the light of temptation.
When Hudson casts the Thunder Quake, the electric waves of the Light of Temptation are mixed with the sound waves of the Thunder Quake and propagate together, so it can cause a powerful effect that interrupts the cast. If it weren't for the seductive light's radio attack, Darko's spell casting would not have been interrupted by the sound while chanting.
The glyph in front of Dakko is a composite glyph that adds the radio waves of the light of temptation to the thunder shock technique, which is equivalent to carrying two functional circuits, so the carrying capacity required is also greater than that of ordinary glyphs.
The Light of Temptation is only a single magic, and the range of action is very short, but after being amplified by the Thunder Shock Technique, all within the range of the sound wave will be affected by the light wave of Temptation, so it has become a trick that Hudson relies on. This non-standard glyph from an alien plane is very peculiar, and it is unknown what its name is. Darko said to himself, "Since it's a combination of the Thunder Shock Technique and the Light of Temptation, it's better to call it the Thunder Confusion Glyph." ”
Immediately after studying the principle, Dakko prepared the parchment and ink and began to reproduce the glyph. When Phyllis was in Gaha Town, she bought a bunch of all the materials that could be used by Dakko by the way, and if it weren't for the limited space in Dakko's space ring, Phyllis would even have swept away the entire Gaha Array's material market. After all, the money was not her own, and Phyllis spent it extraordinarily generously.
The thunder-rich ink takes on a blue color, and the magic fluctuations that emanate from time to time make Daktronics' fingertips tingling with the pen dipped in the ink. Darko hurriedly used his magic to dispel the influence of the thunder element on him, and then roughly planned the outline of the glyph on the parchment with his gaze, and began to copy the structure of the glyph directly according to the rubbing. From time to time, there was a crackling sound where the pen was written, and blue electric sparks jumped and flashed like elves, spilling restless factors into the surrounding unfinished magic circuits. The inscription master is easily affected by this, causing errors in the structure of the later copy, which also makes the glyph of the lightning skill the most difficult type of glyph to copy.
But Darko didn't seem to be affected by anything, his movements were precise and powerful, and the death withering in his hand emitted a little indigo halo from time to time. A halo of light surrounds the entire parchment, illuminating the magic circuits on it as if they could burst out at any moment. Many of the details of this glyph, even if Darko hadn't thought about it before, will be rounded and perfectly brushed when the magic pen moves to the corresponding position, and it feels as if he already knows the glyph well.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, and the tip of Darko's pen slowly lifted, and at the same time, the blue mangs on the glyph below overflowed on the parchment, and finally completed a cycle, and then disappeared a little. Darko looked at the thunder glyph on the table and was stunned for a while, the whole process of copying the glyph was surprisingly smooth, it was a success at one time, even he himself was a little incredible.
Although this was the first time he had copied the glyph, Darko had already experienced firsthand the power of the skill it had increased during his battle with Hudson. Even for the first time I saw the skill of Thunder Shock, I knew enough about it. Combined with the shape of the glyph circuit of the rubbing, it is easy to copy the entire glyph without any hindrance. No wonder there is a saying that an inscription master who has never been on the battlefield is not a qualified inscriptionist. Knowing an inscription through one's own combat is indeed a completely different approach from scholarship, and the two can complement each other.
Now Daktronics' inscription skills have survived the difficult stage of burning money to increase proficiency in the early stage, and have entered the stage of making money in the later stage. Darko's practice was in the workshop of the Adamantite Prison, where he gained valuable experience using public materials. The ascension stage was completed in the Tree Castle before the Alchemy Grand Prix, and because of the company of Kevin, Leah and others, I didn't find it difficult.
Dakko can finally enjoy the convenience of making money from a support job, but now he is no longer short of money. The Nike Remones family has spent all their money on exploring the relics of death, and Phyllis, who did the preliminary procurement work, has become a rich woman, although only temporarily. During the time when Darko and Phyllis were hanging out in Gaha, they spent thousands of gold coins just to buy the useful and useless interior decorations, all of which were piled up in the completed compartment of the Dragon Whale, and because they were in a hurry, they didn't take any of them with them, and Phyllis didn't feel distressed, it wasn't her money anyway.
It occurred to Darko that the next island they were going to was the prosperous island of Bloon, where there would be a large auction house, and he could copy more engravings and scrolls to auction. He is not trying to make money, but he gets a very strong sense of pleasure when he sees others bidding for his work, and this psychological pleasure can only be experienced by the corresponding auxiliary professionals.
Darko was immersed in fantasy, and his gaze returned to the Thunder Glyph he was holding in his hand, and he was stunned for a moment. Although the non-standard glyph is more skilled than the standard glyph, it is not suitable for sale. First, no one has ever seen this structure, there is no standard to judge its merits, and secondly, no one knows how effective the glyph is, and even if it can be sold, it will not sell for a good price. Unless you find a lightning mage who is also an inscription, you may be able to see the value of this glyph.
It is best to keep non-standard glyphs for your own use in order to maximize their value. However, the light of temptation is thunder-based magic, so only lightning-gifted professionals can wield the effect of this glyph, and Darko himself can't use it at all. As an inscriptionist, Darko saw a non-standard glyph that he had never seen before, and his first thought was to reproduce it, and it was not until he successfully copied it that he realized the problem.
"Only people with thunder element talent can use it, where can I find it. Darko muttered to himself, the saddest thing was that he had just copied an inscription and couldn't find anyone to test its power.
Darko was worried about himself, and suddenly he was stunned, although Otto is not a magician, his talent for the thunder element is very strong, and the only flaw is that he can't use the thunder shock technique. However, the glyph itself is used to carry the radio waves of the light of temptation with the help of the sound of the thunder shock technique, so it can be replaced by other means, such as a loud roar.
Thinking of this, Darko hurriedly rushed out of the cabin and ran towards the deck.
