The Yerkes scholars have their own opinions on the recent disorder in the magical market.

In his opinion, the main reason for the widespread volatility in the magic market was the sudden emergence of a large number of cheap crossbow arrows and rudimentary magic rune boards. He feared that in such a situation, the House of Representatives of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild would intervene.

But this kind of thing is uncontrollable, and the soldiers who have come down from the plane battlefield are fighting for their own interests.

I sat down in a chair opposite the Yerkis scholar, put my hand on the test stand, and said to him:

"Since the plane war is won, it is inevitable that this second-hand magic weapons and equipment will flow back to the magic market in the imperial capital, whether it is the knights who participated in the plane war, or those knight auxiliaries who participated in the war, they all need some practical things after the victory of the war, but unfortunately there are so many trophies, and the noble lords are still waiting to take it out in exchange for merit, improve the title, and make up for the large investment in the early stage of the war, I think many noble lords can only turn a blind eye to this matter. ”

In fact, there is a sentence I didn't say directly, I just want to break the so-called order in the current magic market in the imperial capital, I want magic items to enter civilian families, and I want magic weapons to continue to expand their influence and play their due role in the war against the dark forces of the Abyss.

Although the Yerkes scholar is always eclectic about the new style of the junior magic pattern, this does not mean that he is avant-garde, he is a traditional magician, and I know that he has always been resistant to the metal magic rune plate.

"But this kind of thing has too much impact on the imperial capital's magic market. Yerkis frowned, and he could see that he was a little tangled.

"Before that, your giant crossbow arrows can also be controlled and sold to a specific number of armies, as long as these giant crossbow arrows do not flow out, they do not have such a big impact on the magic market, at most, other lords have seen some legions use bed crossbows in dimensional wars to resist those dark forces of the abyss, and feel that bed crossbows are used after matching magic crossbow arrows, which are very effective against Nibru spider warriors and Nakma warriors, in this way, it also stimulates other noble lords to buy this magic crossbow arrows in the magic market, but the giant crossbow arrows in the magic market are more expensive, which greatly increases the cost of war。 They will make a detailed assessment of the battlefield and will only commit their troops to the battlefield when they believe that there is a greater chance of victory. ”

He placed a magical drawing of a giant crossbow arrow on the table, and he marked the text in every detail, and countless leads and notes would be scattered around the drawing.

Staring at the drawing, the Yerkes scholar said to me:

"The noble lords began to try to use magic crossbow arrows, which also made this magic rune weapon in the magic market have a broader market prospect, many inscriptionists in the imperial capital have focused on drawing magic giant crossbow arrows in recent months, and you can probably see those magic crossbow arrows in the magic market on the way to the imperial capital magic research institute, and even the stalls in the free market are available. ”

As he spoke, he pushed the drawing in front of me and continued:

"But now, a large number of cheap magic crossbow arrows have been brought to the magic market by warriors from the battlefield, and now many lords will only buy those giant crossbow arrows that sell no more than the actual silver coins, and the magic crossbow arrows in the entire imperial capital are not in stock. A few days ago, Bruce asked me about this and asked if I could design a relatively low-cost giant crossbow arrow, and Bruce said that someone in the Magic Guild thought we had a very low-cost giant crossbow arrow design and asked us to take it out and communicate with other inscriptionists in the imperial capital. ”

It turned out that someone above was putting pressure on the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, and it must be very interesting to be able to influence Vice Dean Bruce.

I glanced at the magic blueprint of the crossbow arrow and said, " Since the single-attribute magic crossbow arrows have appeared in the magic market, then give them the drawings, this kind of magic crossbow arrows and the traditional hand-carved giant crossbow arrows are very different from the selection of base materials, if they want to imitate, they have to completely abandon the base material of the Babington family rune board workshop, and the magic pattern circle on this giant crossbow arrow is not complicated, even if we don't provide drawings, this single-attribute giant crossbow arrow is also easy to imitate, they said that what is needed is not the magic pattern drawing, but the red copper metal solution, if they can afford the price, I can also take it out and sell it。 ”

"But this is the biggest secret of the Metal Demon Rune Plate, and you are really going to reveal it to the public?" asked the Yerkes scholar in surprise.

"It's good that someone wants to learn a new type of rune board like Metal, because I wanted to replace the traditional handmade rune board with a metal rune board for a long time, because the metal rune board is more efficient to make and the material cost is relatively cheaper. I explained to the Yerkes scholars.

In fact, even if I don't say this, the Yerkes scholar knows very well, and all he doesn't know is the process of making the metal magic pattern rune plate.

I said to him, " The biggest difference between the traditional hand-carved rune plate and the metal magic rune plate is that the former needs to be engraved with the complete outline of the magic pattern circle on the Mithril-coated rune board, which is equivalent to drawing the magic pattern circle twice, while the latter is directly drawn on the ordinary metal plate with a metal solution, and only needs to be drawn once。 ”

“...... So even the simplest 'Gathering Fire' rune board, Luke had to practice for a long time before he could barely draw it. Perhaps this was his doubt, said the Yerkis scholar, and after a few magical helpers, he finally realized the difference between me and the other inscriptionists.

With his character, if he had been in the past, he might not have been able to endure a magic assistant who couldn't even draw the 'Gathering Fire Technique' rune board, but seeing this young magician with a somewhat shy expression standing here, it seemed that the irritable personality of the Yerkis scholar had changed a lot.

The magical assistant named Luke had been listening carefully to us about runeboards and pattern construction, but he hadn't interjected from beginning to end.

I glanced at the young magic assistant, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "It's good to practice more, the most important thing for this metal magic rune board is to have a carving pen that does not need to be dipped in ink, and the engraving pen needs to be sharper, and the drainage groove should be larger, after all, the red copper metal solution is more viscous than magic ink, and the flow will break if you are not careful, Luke, are you learning to make a metal magic rune board?"

"Yes, Senior Jijia. He looked a little shy when he spoke.

Hearing him call me senior, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you a freshman in this class of the Royal Academy of Magic?"

"Yes, Senior Jijia. Luke replied.

I took out a magic carving pen from my coat pocket, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Then this pen is for you, this is a magic carving pen specially used to draw metal magic rune plates, it will make your drawing lines smoother." ”

"Well, it's a pity I'm not very proficient. Luke was a little embarrassed to take the magic pen and said to me.

I felt that the Yerkes scholar needed a magical assistant by his side, in order to give Luke some encouragement and cultivate his interest in inscriptions, I simply took an ordinary steel plate from the test bench, and took out a bottle of magical red copper solution refined by Senior Vernon from my backpack, picked up a magic carving pen, and said to Luke: "Haha, I can't help with other rune boards, but when it comes to the 'fire gathering' rune board, I don't know how many drawings I have drawn since I was a child, and I am very experienced in this rune board." ”

As I spoke, I picked up the magic pen and dipped it in some red copper solution, and began to draw the magic pattern of 'Fire Gathering Technique' on the iron plate, explaining as I painted: "First of all, you have to start from here...... And then like this...... Such...... In one go, remember to be coherent, the turning point must not be stacked with ink, and at the end of the pen must reserve a certain space for the gemstone base. ”

In the end, I skillfully took out the gem base from the drawer of the laboratory table and stuck it to the rune board, and used tweezers to clip a piece of magic crystal fragment into the gem base, and instantly a cyan flame rose, Luke looked at me with some dumbfounded, and said: "It turns out that as the Lord Yerkis said, the 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune board is so simple in your pen. ”

"It's good to be proficient. ”

With that, I gave him the place of the test bench.

Luke looked at the magic pen in his hand, plucked up the courage to stand in front of the test table, and began to practice.

Since I had the idea of using the Magic Stamper to engrave this elementary Demonic Pattern Structure, I had to get the support of the Yerkes Scholar, who was the only one who could make some small changes to the structure without affecting the composition attributes.

I reached out and tapped on this set of overlay armor, and said to the Yerkis scholar, "This kind of primary magic pattern construction can not only improve the strength and physique of the construction knight, In addition to agility, it is almost no different from ordinary full-cover armor, but this kind of magic pattern construction that increases the strength and physique of the warrior itself is exactly what I need most at present, and this kind of primary magic pattern construction is made by simplifying the magic pattern line, I want to try to use the process of metal magic pattern rune plate to make it, and I want to control the total cost of magic pattern construction at about thirty to forty magic crystals, or even lower. ”

Scholar Yerkis stood by and listened attentively to what I said, and I said, "As you know, the Magic Pattern Construct has always been an expensive magic item that only noble lords can have, and the Magic Pattern Construct is a great inheritance for the younger generations to inherit for ordinary noble families, and many noble families can't even afford to buy a set of primary Magic Pattern Structure. ”

In this regard, Yerkes scholars are also deeply touched.

I continued: "The magic pattern construction is difficult to buy, in addition to the high price, the inscription master's hand-made cycle is too long is also a factor that restricts the magic pattern construction, the normal production cycle of a set of magic pattern construction is about a week, many nobles want to have the magic pattern construction and even have to book it with the inscription master. ”

The Yerkes scholar proudly said, "A good inscriptionist will always have an endless order in his hands for the construction of magic patterns. He also looked at me.

I smiled and said to him, "Maybe soon this most ordinary of beginner demonic pattern constructs will break the shackles of lack of supply. ”

He was a little surprised, but he immediately understood what I meant.

As a proponent of traditional magic, he has always been very opposed to me applying the technical principles of the metal magic rune plate to the construction of magic patterns, and he was about to dissuade me, but I preemptively said: "In the Grimm Empire, many of the first-turn warriors come out of civilian families, but if they don't have a certain opportunity, it is even difficult for them to construct knights. ”

Speaking of the difficulty of civilian families getting out of the Constructed Knights, the Yerkes scholar finally had some feelings, and he lowered his head in contemplation.

I continued: "At present, the war on the plane is full of smoke, but many lords would rather shrink in the imperial capital and wait for the opportunity, rather than go to the battlefield with the Constructed Knights without the certainty of victory, in the final analysis, these lords cannot afford to lose, the pension of the Constructed Knights after the casualties, the expensive magic pattern structure, all kinds of irretrievable materials on the battlefield, etc., each of which needs to be a ringing gold coin. ”

"So I want to reduce the production cost of the primary Demonic Pattern Build, and I also have selfish intentions, that is, I want to arm my group of barbarian slaves with this Elementary Demonic Pattern Structure, so that they will have more strength and endurance on the battlefield, and be able to pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow a few more times, so that the battle may become easier. ”

Scholar Yerkis looked at me and said to me, "If it's those barbarian slaves, you clothe them in Nakma black iron armor?"

I said, "yes." ”

"If it's the kind of Nagraman black iron armor, we can also expand those simple magic lines appropriately, so that we can also improve some magic attributes, but the improvement is very ......limited," said the Yerkis scholar, explaining to me the principle of the flow of magic elements in the magic lines, whether I understood it or not, it was just babbling and explaining.

It seems that he has no opinion on the improvement of the Nakma black iron armor, he asked me for a set of Nakma black iron armor to put in the laboratory, each of the bulky Nakma black iron armor weighs dozens of kilograms, and it is nearly three meters high when placed in the laboratory......
