In a book of silver-sealed spells, Feige found the spell that modulates the destructive power of the lightning magic. The name of the inventor of the spell is not recorded, only a grim record of the content and effect of the spell. This is understandable, after all, in this world, thunder and lightning represent the power and will of the goddess, and it is cast by a priest, how can it be arbitrarily changed by a non-divine spellcaster?

Fortunately, in the teachings of the same goddess there is also a requirement to retain knowledge, so this mantra is still recorded. By parsing the runic text used in the spell, Fitch converts it into a version that works in his own magical system. Continuous experimentation and continuous improvement, and finally chose to achieve it in the form of a rune circle.

The mansion of the "Mystic Mist" has a very complete set of caster materials, and the magic circle consumables are one of them. As long as you enter mana, you can open the lock of the warehouse door and take it directly from the inside. The smoker mages here don't care about what is too much or less in the warehouse, they can't open the door without mana anyway, and the servants can't steal things and sell them if they want to.

"Thankfully, these people haven't sold the contents and turned them into cigarettes to smoke. Feige heard from Beni about what Ruiz was responsible for, and there was no emotional turmoil anymore. In the past, he hated iron and steel, but now, he was busy copying spells, maintaining books, training, and making magical items in the mansion, and those people were just leisurely smoking. Without curiosity, without vigilance from the outside world, how can they progress?

You can only rely on yourself first, and then go to like-minded people, and if you can't find it, you can cultivate a batch, these smoker mages are not saved. Since they didn't use the contents of the warehouse, Feige couldn't watch them rot and go to waste. He took a bowl of thick brown thunder wood, two bottles of "double silver ink" containing silver and mercury, signed his name on the half-rotten entry and exit registration book that had been lying in the corner for an unknown amount of time, and then began to make his "substation socket".

Thunderwood is a subspecies of spruce that is very tall and straight and not afraid of lightning strikes. In the canon of the Goddess of Truth Thunder, the Thunderwood represents the duty of priests to transmit the will of the goddess from the heavens to the earth. Therefore, thunderwood is often used as a frame for the emblem, so as not to hurt people after sharpening the metal part of the emblem. The grips of some Priest weapons, such as maces and clubs, also use Thunderwood wood.

Fei Qi felt that this material was the best choice for making "substation sockets". It's easy to shape and engrave, and it's easy to write up, but it's very lightweight. Simply make it look like a four-tiered pyramid, then reserve the place for the magic runes on each level, and then carefully trace it with pen and ink. Finally, set aside two jacks at the top of the pyramid, melt copper into the piece, and then connect it to the circle - the "substation socket" is ready.

It's relatively simple to use: hold it in the palm of your hand and summon the power of thunder. Control the mana, don't let the power of the thunder be too strong, and at the same time, don't break it because it's too weak. Then the "substation socket" can change, adjust, and optimize the power of the thunder and deliver it out of the jack. With no tools on Earth, Feige is not 100% sure that the output current is correct. But the laptop power supply is very adaptable, its green light is on, and the machine also shows charging.

If he focuses on outputting mana, Feige can fully charge it in two hours, and then use it for more than four hours. If he provided mana while working, his efficiency would be greatly reduced, but he could barely keep the machine from losing power. When the mana continues to improve, or Feiqi's spellcasting skills become more sophisticated, the word "reluctantly" will definitely be removed.

With cameras and image recognition software, who still copies books by hand?! High-definition pictures are taken, rune recognition is done, spell databases are ready-made and directly added to them, and spell retrieval has never been more convenient.

Of course, this can't be done in front of anyone else, even Beni and Shani. So far, only midnight has seen his laptop. Like a cat on Earth, it occupies the hot area under the keyboard and snoozes comfortably on its stomach.

"Don't be Pippy, stay at the door. If anyone comes, let me know. Feige poked the black hairball with his finger, causing it to let out a long "hair~~" call. Midnight was a little unhappy, but after stretching hard, it hid near the door with its feet folded.

Opening the book, turning the pages, taking a photo, and archiving it in the warehouse, this process is now very proficient. The more available spells you collect, the more accurate the rune library of magic will be, and the approximate model will get closer to reality. In the process, Feige discovers an interesting phenomenon: the three major sources of runes, the Truth Thunder Divine Rune, the Creator's Primitive Language Rune, and the characteristic Rune from different races and places, their proportions are constantly changing. If you want to make a spell as short as possible to meet the requirements of quick casting, then the creator has a lot of runes, if you want to be powerful, long-range, and effective, the goddess has a large proportion of magic runes, and if you want to be functional or strange, then you need to find it from the runes of the race and local characteristics. For example, spells that change the nature of electricity use elf-style runes.

"At the end of the day, thanks to the elves' help. ”

Just as he was talking about it, Midnight ran in, shaking his head and sending out a warning signal. Feige quickly folded the notebook and hid it in a large hollowed-out book, and then hid it under the bookshelf. He used his full field of vision to inspect as a hooded half-elf approached.

This half-elf, named Henos, had a small theater and a gallery in the Holy Three Castle, and was also the owner of five or six acting teams. His more important identity is that of Didlet's friend and also Geuddor's "agent". Due to the influence of the elven blood in his body, he was in his fifties, but he still looked like he was in his early twenties, as young as Feige. His appearance is very ordinary, mostly because he never wears makeup and dresses as plain and low-key as possible. In his words, "to better highlight the beautiful actors", but Feige felt that he might be "the self-consciousness of an agent".

"Is it all done?" Feige asked, walking up. They had met a week earlier, and on that occasion Feige had discovered that this Heinos liked to get straight to the point. "500,000 words, can it stand up to scrutiny?"

"Don't worry, the quantity will only be more, not less, and the quality is no problem, I got you a copy. Heinos pulled out a thin, soft book from his cross-body backpack. "Look at it, it doesn't look like your font. ”

"Daily Prayer" is a very simple canon, which contains 100 prayers that can be used in daily life, including weddings, funerals, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, which is the simplest introductory book. The whole book is more than 20,000 words, and one paragraph includes fourteen easily recognizable magic runes in the temple building, which can barely be regarded as a "rune book".

Copying a 500,000-word dossier, Fitch was ready to use it to make a difference. He asks Didlet for help, and Didlet introduces him to Henos. The owner of this theater and gallery has a few skilled craftsmen under his command, and he can easily handle the posters for the performances, the decorative paintings of the shops, and the 500,000 words that he can copy.

"Your script is standard and unremarkable, so it's easy to imitate. "In order to make these books look more like the real thing, I made them deliberately scribble them so that they could show signs of rushing," said Heinos. But don't worry, the cardinal doesn't care about fonts. They will randomly check a few copies to see if there are any errors or omissions, and then they will release them. ”

"You know that, isn't it just me who was punished for copying books?"

Henos shook his head: "Of course you're not alone. Every year, the Church has to use this method to get many people to copy books, which is just enough to save some money. But most of them will be assigned to copy the canons and distribute them to local branch churches, not like you who don't have designated books. There are quite a few people in the city who are engaged in this business, after all, the profits of books are still very large. ”

"I'd rather have less money for books and more money for my creations. Fei Qi looked at the copy of his manuscript, the quality was really good, he could write the font inside, and he could handle the inspection no matter what. "How many copies are there?"

"Ninety copies, two hundred and seventy gold coins. Beni had already paid half of the deposit. Heinos took a small pocket from Feige's hand, gently swiped it, and pushed the money bag back. "It seems like a lot. ”

"It's not like, it's two hundred gold coins in it. "I want more Daily Prayer," Feige said. ”

"Still copying?" Heinos was stunned for a moment: "Although this is a good business, I would like to know why." ”

Because the words are very simple, and everyone knows these prayers, it is appropriate to use them to teach people to read. Feige pushed the money bag back: "Beni told me that many people who sign up for the Knights tournament don't know how to write their names, and a large number of people can't read the rules announcement, and it's even more impossible to count their points. I don't want Minas to be like this, I need someone who can read and count. ”

"If it's for Minas Ishir, then I'll only charge half the money, or I'll give you twice as much product. Well...... I'd better give you some more books. Oh, I'll just help you transport that batch of Daily Prayers to the Catholic Mission, I know the whole process well. Heinos put away the money bag and rubbed his face vigorously with his palm: "Feige, I want to ask you something: What did Chordor do?"

"Benny didn't tell you?"

"Nope. She said you didn't let her say it, so she wanted to keep it a secret. Goddess bless, I have known her ten years ago, and I taught her to play the drums, but she actually listens to you now. ”

"It has nothing to do with me, it's because she's highly qualified. Feige smiled and replied, "Chaudor and Anne are studying the basic teachings of magic, so they entrusted Beni and Shani to me." I reckon they should be in Minas Ihir by this time. ”

"It seems that your simple basic teaching of magic is very interesting, otherwise Chordor would not have missed the jousting tournament and the cardinal's wedding. Heinos breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said, "There's another thing I just heard. Elven Island sent a group of guards to join Minas Ihir, but was opposed by the Church. Now they have all abandoned their guard titles and signed up for jousting tournaments as freelance mercenaries, using this method to win Minas Ihir's position. ”

"Ah, the regular army has come to join in the fun? Isn't the martial arts competition a mess?"

"Yes. As far as I know, some knights chose to attend the convention incognito just to find an opportunity to teach these elves a lesson. I would like to ask, as the chief staff of Lord Minas Ihilderid, what do you think about this matter?"

"The chief of staff can only speak to the lord, I can't tell you that. ”

"Well, I'm half-elf, and I'm worried about new conflicts between elves and humans. How do you think things are going to evolve next?"

"Don't worry, it won't deteriorate, because no matter how much they make trouble, the winner will only be a newcomer. I just want them to figure out how they failed and improve. Feige could see that Heinos didn't understand what he was saying, "Okay, don't worry about it, anyway, the conference will start in three days, and you'll know by then." ”
