Chongyang moved out the four words of family interests, but Zhuoyang couldn't resist him, so he had to accept it helplessly. The two brothers agreed that during the period before the duel, Zhuoyang would rent a special magic practice room in the city to recuperate and adjust himself to the best condition. And the duel auxiliary part of the scroll potion was prepared by Chongyang.

Duels are an indispensable part of the wizarding world, and there are different dueling rules in different places.

Because the imperial capital of Baizhe has not experienced war for a long time, the atmosphere is relatively peaceful, the folk customs are relatively mild, and the magicians are gentle and elegant, so the rules of the duel are only to defeat the other party to win, and there are few scenes of dead people. But if it is in some places where the people are fierce, duels often mean endless death.

Chongyang has been in the imperial capital for many years, so he naturally knows the rules of duel in the imperial capital. Within the normal level, in addition to the staff, the dueling sides can also carry magic scrolls or potions that are two levels or less than their own magic level. In other words, in a duel of a seventh-level magician, both sides can bring three scrolls of level 5 or below, as well as two bottles of potions below level 5.

Five-grade elixir, Chongyang intends to buy it in the market, with his deep understanding of elixir, it is not difficult to buy a practical dueling elixir. What he really planned to spend a lot of effort on were those three magic scrolls.

Duel auxiliaries have always been a popular place to "cheat" in duels, and the magic scrolls and potions that a magician with a strong background can get compared to a magician with no background, even if they are of the same level, the effect will be very different.

For example, the fifth-level scrolls of the same level, the fifth-level low-level "Thunder Touch" and the fifth-level high-level "Thunder Light Break" are not at the same level at all in terms of strike power and strike range. And the latter, it is difficult for a magician without a certain background to get his hands on it.

The most bullying scene that can occur in a dueling arena is when one side comes up and instantly fires a magic scroll, and after three consecutive shots, the opponent can't fight back and falls.

The situation of the scorching sun belongs to the battle of the rival in love, and the probability of this kind of scene happening is relatively small, after all, the actual interests that the two sides want to fight for - the heart of the beauty - are outside the battlefield. If the bullying is too obvious, the favorability of the beauties that can be won will also drop significantly...... Of course, this also varies from person to person. And judging from the character of Miss Frilian that Zhuoyang said, she is not a woman who likes to oppress people with her background.

Chongyang believes in Burning Sun's strength, but he never believes in the character of the other party's Daunes, so what he has to do is to help Burning Yang reverse the situation in one fell swoop in case of a magic scroll.

......

Late at night, the moon was sparse, and the faint moonlight shone in through the window, reflected on the back of the young man writing at the desk under the light of the shaking fire.

Chongyang stroked his chin with one hand and pondered deeply, drawing lines on the scroll vellum from time to time with difficulty. His eyes, through the intricate lines and patterns that ordinary magicians could see, saw a huge magic array that looked like a half-built grand palace.

On the book table, scattered or stacked, there are no less than twenty or thirty reference works. Some of these books came from his own bookshelves, some from the library, and all of them were all about the various details of the making of the first-order scroll.

"Failed again...... This model doesn't work. Chongyang frowned, muttered in a low voice, pulled up the half-drawn leather paper without hesitation, and crumpled it into a ball, and threw it casually to the trash can on the table...... The tube was already full, and the crumpled kraft paper bounced out and joined the countless paper balls on the ground.

Chongyang sighed, leaned on the back of the chair, and rubbed his sore arm.

The instantaneous launch of the new Magical Air Explosion Technique, he had already done it four days ago. In other words, his understanding of this new level of magic has reached the extreme level. However, the magic scroll has not been made so far.

"The magic is too cumbersome...... What can be done to reduce the number of reel 'nodes'?" Chongyang pondered.

If the construction of the Scroll Circle is compared to building a palace, the 'nodes' in the array are the load-bearing pillars of the palace. The grander and taller the palace, the more load-bearing columns are needed. And the magic array, the more cumbersome it is, the more nodes there are.

The nodes of ordinary first-level scrolls are generally about seven to twenty, while ordinary third-level scrolls will have about fifty to three hundred...... In comparison, the number of nodes in this first-level super-level air explosion scroll actually exceeded a thousand!

From the construction of magic power, to the spell, to the magic seal, all these things have to be reflected on the core magic array, it is too difficult, it is almost terrifying.

The key bottleneck is not that Chongyang's ability is not enough, but that the terrifying scroll itself is constructed in this way. For Chongyang, whose mental strength is unbelievably strong, even if the number of nodes is as high as 1,000, it is largely just an increase in manufacturing time. Because his basic construction skills and penmanship are very solid and steady.

The problem is not Chongyang, the maker, but such a terrible scroll, beyond the maximum limit that the leather paper itself can carry! For another example, if the magic array is a palace, then the leather paper is the foundation that carries the palace, but now because the palace is too grandiose, at most half of the buildings, the foundation will be completely collapsed, and it cannot be manufactured at all.

It is not possible to change to a higher grade of reel paper. The higher the level paper, the more mana input is also greatly increased, and the result is that the number of nodes that can be carried is very small.

Chongyang has calculated that if the bearing limit is increased by replacing the grade paper, at least the sixth-grade scroll paper will be used to meet the requirements. First, Chongyang didn't have sixth-level magic power, and second, the scroll made in this way was a sixth-level scroll! It exceeded the "below five-level" required for the duel.

Theoretically, the first level of magic corresponds to the first level of scrolls, but this new magic of the air explosion technique has gone beyond the traditional theoretical scope. So Chongyang was very worried.

Under the light, he stayed awake late at night and repeatedly flipped through the books at hand, but he was never inspired.

"Flame Demon, as the creator of the new theory, can't you give me a little advice?" Chongyang put down the thick book in his hand and said to the void.

"Boom—I didn't bother making a first-level scroll. Besides, this is a private matter for you to do, and I have no obligation to instruct. The Flame Demon's funny laughter rang in his ears.

"What an unqualified mentor. Chongyang pouted.

"Actually, you're very close to the solution, even if you don't rely on me, you'll think of it sooner or later. Yan Demon smiled, "I may be an unqualified mentor, but I am also a master who focuses on cultivating the independence of my disciples. ”

Chongyang's face was full of disdain. In fact, you are an unscrupulous elemental elf, so you can play with your disciples because you are bored.

"Think again, if you really can't think of it in the end, then ...... He stood upside down and shouted three times 'I am a fool disciple'. I'll give you a hint. ”

"Who wants to do that!" Chongyang slapped the table.

"Very good ambition, then I'll be silent for now...... Also, the cultivation of the 'Atmospheric Explosion Technique' is not allowed to stop. No matter how far you do tonight, I'll tell you to practice on time tomorrow. If you lie in bed, I'll burn your ass. ”

"You bastard. ”

......

The next day, after the practice of the new technique "Atmospheric Explosion Technique" based on the upgraded air explosion technique was completed, Chongyang rested for a while, and then went out to the academy in the evening to buy the five-grade potion at the Pharmacist Association's specialized high-grade pharmacy.

Although the five-grade pharmacy is also sold on the Hruxiao non-exchange that is frequented, if you want to talk about details such as fineness and quality, the reputation of the pharmacy store of the Pharmacists Association is better.

To put it bluntly, it's the difference between brands. Most of the things on the exchange are big road goods, but the association's pharmacy has a high-end brand guarantee. It is an important duel, and there is no shortage of money at hand for the time being, so it is natural to choose better goods.

When he arrived at the store, Chongyang selected two bottles of five-grade elixir, one was the "magic potion", which was different from the commonly used magic potion in that it did not increase the magician's mana recovery speed, but increased the magician's spell casting smoothness.

In the hearts of many magicians, the number one potion in actual combat is none other than the magic potion of return. However, Chongyang believes that in a one-on-one situation such as a duel, and the venue is limited, what is more important than the consumption of magic is the smoothness of casting magic.

The evidence was that he had already investigated the relevant books in the academy library, and found that the duel records in the imperial capital in the past could decide the winner in a short period of ten seconds, and most of the long ones did not exceed ten minutes. In such a short battle, mana consumption should not be the first consideration.

The second is the "body strengthening potion". This is another relatively unpopular combat potion, generally speaking, if you can only bring two bottles of potion, the magician will choose to return to the mana, and the second is to choose magic amplification or magic resistance. "Body Enhancement"? The mage is not a lowly servant samurai, so why do you want this?

Chongyang has its own considerations. He imagined that the second brother Zhuoyang was in the border city, and he had been fighting for many years, and he had relatively rich combat experience and a relatively strong body, which was a big advantage for the relatively weak magicians who grew up in the peaceful city.

Yes, a mage is not a samurai, but when fighting magic, the body's reaction and movement speed, as well as physical strength, are also important. Because if you can dodge a magic attack by moving at high speed, it is equivalent to one more chance than the opponent, which is extremely significant.

Scorching Yang has such an advantage, if you add another bottle of strengthening potion to further amplify this advantage, then as long as it is played properly, the opponent will feel difficult just by locking and casting, which will invisibly widen the gap in combat power. And Burning Yang's rich experience in dealing with the beast clan is the basis for giving full play to this advantage.

When he paid for the two bottles of potion, the little beauty magician who sold the goods looked at Chongyang with a slightly strange expression. Because Chongyang said that the potion to be bought is for dueling, and it must be of the highest standard...... Duel, just use such an unpopular potion?

Chongyang was unimpressed by the sales lady's expression. He is not pursuing a maverick, but the result of sober thinking and calculation.

The moment he left the store with the newly purchased potion and walked out of the store from the store filled with the fragrance of medicine, Chongyang, who turned his mind back to the scroll to create a problem, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a look of joy slowly appeared on his face.

"Carriage, come here!" Chongyang shouted as he rushed to the side of the street, summoning a hired carriage.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

"Prisland Academy, give me the fastest speed, the faster the better, and there will be a reward. ”

"All right!" the coachman, of course, liked to meet such lavish guests, and immediately threw up his whip vigorously.

......

Rushing back to his room in the academy, Chongyang closed the door and shouted, "Old ghost, I know what you mean by saying that I'm close to the answer, which in itself is a hint." ”

"Boom—what's the hint?" said the fire demon's voice.

"Since ordinary scroll paper can't hold new magic, then just make new paper that can hold new magic!, so what needs to be used is ......" Chongyang's gaze moved to the potion test bench, "Pharmacy!" Add new materials to the original scroll paper to increase its tolerance for nodes. ”

Although the manufacture of paper for scrolls belongs to the category of scroll science in terms of knowledge classification, the actual operation belongs to pharmacy and magic science, etc., especially the core is pharmacy, but the thing made is not medicine, but in the form of paper.

"How could I have been so stupid as not to think of it? Without this new paper, I would have made this new paper. Hey, old ghost, I've got your hint out of it, and it's time to give me further guidance. Otherwise, I'll run out of time, and I'll pause the practice of atmospheric blasts. Chongyang said fiercely, and after pulling out the reference books from the bookshelf, he hurriedly began to tidy up the potion test table.

"Okay, there's no way, it's really a wayward disciple......" The fire demon appeared, hoarse and helpless.
