Izumi walked into the alchemy laboratory, which was even more chaotic than when he first came, and it was obvious that all the previous sorting was in vain.

But now is not the time to care about this, Izumi looked around, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.

"Master Nicol, where are you?"

Although Nicol intended to instruct Izumi, Izumi couldn't call him teacher until he really said that he would accept him as an apprentice.

There was a noise behind a long table full of utensils in the lab, and a figure stood up.

It's Nicol Lemay.

Ever since Nicol's research had become better, the lab had become a forbidden place again, and Izumi hadn't seen him for a long time.

At a glance now, his magic robe is still clean, but his hair and beard are dirty and knotted, and people look a little thinner, I don't know how long it has been since I have eaten properly.

"Boy, here you are."

Unlike the others, Nicol rarely calls Izumi by name, nor does he use honorific titles, and he has always been a boy who comes and goes, but this also proves that he values Izumi.

"Master, I heard that you are looking for me? What's the matter? ”

Today, a guard came to him and spread the word that Nicol was looking for him, and Izumi came to the laboratory.

"I'll show you something." Nicol beckoned to him, motioning for him to come over.

Izumi stepped over the pile of books on the ground and walked over to Nicol, only to find that the ground behind the table had been cleared out of a large clearing, on which a magic circle had been drawn with dark red paint.

"See what?" Nicol asked him, pointing to the magic circle.

Izumi looked at it and said uncertainly, "Is it the magic ink made by the blood of the demonic beast mixed with gem powder, mythril, and dream flowers?" ”

Bang!

"Ahh Izumi clutched his sore head and cried out in pain.

It's a good thing Electrolux didn't follow up, otherwise he would have seen that this matter would not be over.

Ni hated the white spring of iron and steel, "Who asked you if this is magic ink?" I'm here to show you the magic array! ”

Quan couldn't help but laugh: "Master, I haven't started to learn the magic array yet, even if you let me see it, I won't be able to understand it." ”

Nicol then remembered that this little guy had just started to get into alchemy, and at his current level, it would be good to know the recipe for magic potions.

It would be a waste to invite him to see his latest proud work.

Coughing lightly, Nicol pretended that nothing had happened before, pointed to the magic array on it and told Izumi: "This is the teleportation array that I restored according to the broken magic array recorded in the magic literature thousands of years ago, and I came to you today to let you see this teleportation array." ”

Since he has the intention to accept apprentices, Nicol naturally wants to teach Izumi carefully, he didn't have time to teach Izumi because of the study of this magic array, but now that the study is over, he naturally wants to start taking apprentices.

He pulled Izumi and told him the meaning of each symbol and pattern on the repaired teleportation array, and then added the relevant foundations, worried that Izumi would not understand, and he deliberately chose the simplest sentence to explain.

Izumi was stunned when he heard this, worried that he would not be able to remember, so he found a pen and paper to take notes, which made Nicol a lot more satisfied, and all his addictions to being a teacher were mobilized.

At the end, Quan asked unsatisfactorily, "I didn't expect the magic array to have so many wonderful uses, master, have you tried this teleportation array?" Can I try it? ”

Nicol's face froze, and then said, "This one is only drawn for the time being, and you need to draw a corresponding receiving teleportation array before you can teleport, so you can't try it for the time being, and it's just an experiment, just in case it won't be teleported with a lifeform for the time being." ”

Nicol didn't dare to let Izumi try this kind of teleportation array that had not yet proven its safety, if he accidentally teleported people to other worlds, where would he find another Izumi to ration to the royal family?

"Is there anything I can do about that? I'm here to help, too. ”

Calling him here naturally means that he needs his help, but I heard Izumi say: "I plan to set up a teleportation array outside, and when the time comes, you can help me watch over there, and we will try the effect of object teleportation." ”

Nicol had set up a small teleportation array about a hundred meters outside the laboratory, not in a building, but a turf, part of the courtyard, surrounded by an open area, and not on the guards' patrol route, so that it could be kept as quiet as necessary without worrying about being disturbed.

When drawing the magic array, Nicol explained to Izumi while drawing: "The teleportation distance of this teleportation array can be adjusted, what I am going to draw now is a short-distance small teleportation array, and the distance is limited to one hundred meters, you see that the array diagram of this piece represents the meaning of the teleportation distance, and modifying it can change the distance, and this array diagram represents the meaning of the number and weight of the teleportation items, and it can also be modified according to the situation." ”

Izumi was trying to draw the appearance of the magic array under Nicol's hand on the notebook, but he was just a decoration and useless, after listening to Nicol's explanation, he asked Nicol curiously while marking the meaning of the array diagram: "What is the maximum and minimum distance of the teleportation array?" What about the quantity and weight limits? ”

"According to the magic literature that has been handed down, there is no limit to the shortest distance of the teleportation array, if you are bored, the two teleportation arrays can be teleported together, and the maximum distance can be as long as a thousand kilometers, and it is completely fine to reach Corot from Tel'an in an instant after activation."

"In terms of quantity and weight, the largest teleportation array can only teleport up to 100 living bodies at a time, whether it is human or animal, and if it exceeds this number, the teleportation array will become unstable, which will easily lead to teleportation failure, if it is replaced by non-living objects, it will not limit the number, but it will limit the weight, and the maximum weight will not exceed ten tons."

Izumi exclaimed, "Isn't that very convenient?" "If you think about being able to teleport from one place to another in an instant, wouldn't the time you used to spend on the road be completely saved? And you don't have to worry about what will happen on the road.

Nicol shook his head and said: "Convenience is convenient, but the farther the distance, the more energy is needed to activate the magic array, take Tal'an to Corot as an example, a teleportation will consume all the energy of a seventh-order or higher magic core, and when drawing the magic array, it is necessary to inlay a magic core of at least level eight and five magic cores of level seven, and the magic ink and other high-level materials to be used are also a very large expense." ”

Izumi was speechless: "So expensive? ”

A magic core can represent the life of a demonic beast, and the seventh-order demonic beast is not so easy to get, and the price is even higher and scary.

The seventh-order demonic beast that was auctioned at the auction where Quan and Diego went before had a starting price of tens of thousands of gold coins, and was finally bought by Diego at a price of 100,000 gold coins.

Even if the magic core is a little cheaper than the living demonic beast, it will not be much worse, and there are definitely 100,000 gold coins.

In this way, it is really not something that ordinary people can afford to open a remote teleportation.

"If it weren't for the high cost and cumbersome drawing, this convenient teleportation array wouldn't have disappeared and become a legend." Nicol sighed that if his magic wasn't limited by this world and he couldn't make Floo Nets, he wouldn't have chosen to study this kind of teleportation array, which was too expensive to use.

However, he also intends to further study the improvement of cost reduction on the basis of this teleportation array, so the cost at this stage is also very necessary.

"Then how many levels of magic cores do you need for this 100-meter short-range teleportation array?"

"When I'm drawing now, the array eye can be used with only one fourth-level magic core and five third-level magic cores, this is for experiments, so the weight I set is limited to one hundred catties, so that only one first-order magic core needs to be consumed when it is activated."

"Does the core need a specific department?"

Nicol took out the prepared core and showed it to Izumi, "No, you can use it no matter what it is." ”

Izumi saw those beautiful gem-like cores, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

He hurriedly asked Nicol: "Master, I remember that the magic core is a very stable crystal, if the energy of the magic core is consumed, can it be injected into it?" ”

"Yes." Nicol nodded, "The stability of the magic core is very high, and it can store magic power, for example, the magician's wand uses the magic core as a magic power conversion and storage, after consuming the original energy in the magic core, they will inject their own magic power into it, which is stored, so that when casting spells, you can mobilize more magic power to achieve the effect of amplification." ”

"Then let's collect the magic cores that don't have magic power, and then input magic power into them, won't we be able to recycle them?"

"The idea is good, but the feasibility is not high."

Nicol appreciated his idea, but also rejected the possibility.

"It's true that we can store magic in the magic core, but to replenish the magic power of a magic core, you must be the same level or higher than it can do it, and the magic power in the magic core is several times that of the same level of magicians, to replenish it, it takes at least ten days of sleepless charging of the magician, and a careless can also make the magician's magic power excessive loss and cause irreversible damage, and if you are not careful, you may also fall off, so most magicians are willing to charge their wands, They won't be happy to charge other cores unless someone is willing to pay a high price, so although the one you said may be possible, the cost is not much lower than buying a ready-made core. ”

"And the middle and low-level magic cores can also find magicians who are willing to charge, and the number of magicians above the seventh order is numerous, which ones are not provided by various countries and nobles, where are they willing to consume their magic power in order to earn this money."

Nicol made it clear that he did not approve of the artificial creation of the Magic Core, but Izumi did not give up on this plan, and he continued to ask, "What if you don't use the magic power of a magician?" ”
