Chapter 37: Structural Organisms
[Detection: The host is eager to reproduce with Solan Liane.]
[Conclusion: It is not recommended that the host reproduce with Solan Lian at this time, Female 1 can detect it immediately.]
[Suggestion: After the host touches the rules of the six rings of this world, it should be able to deduce a spell to block the chastity detection of female No. 1, and then the host can freely reproduce with other females without being detected by female No. 1]
【……】
Looking at the words of the Eye of Truth in the retina, Orondo was speechless for a while!
Damn, I just took a look at the mentor more!
"I'm not that kind of person." He said to the Eye of Truth. "I'm just admiring her beauty."
[Detection: The host's heartbeat is slightly accelerated, and the mind is scattered]
[Conclusion: The host is lying]
Orondo: "......"
Well, believe it or not, Orondo himself doesn't believe it anyway.
He stood up in front of his mentor, who had already turned a little pink, and stretched out his hand to her: "This bone-setting grass is growing well, and it is starting to bloom without sunlight. This proves that our Arcane Energy Conversion Circle is very effective, and this indoor cultivation method can continue. The next thing to consider is how to reduce the cost of running the circle. ”
"Yes." Solanlian nodded softly, as if starry eyes did not dare to look directly at Orondo, and she said, "I think it should be changed a little......"
Orondo grabbed her hand and walked upstairs before she could finish, "We'll talk about these things in the lab later." Mentor, let's go to the fifth floor first. ”
Solan Lian was stunned.
There are no labs on the fifth floor. There was only one observatory there, and her bedroom......
In the afternoon.
Dressed in scent, Orondo left the Mentor's Mage Tower and returned to his own Mage Tower.
In fact, his mage tower can't be called a mage tower yet, and it doesn't even look like a tower, but a common small human castle.
It's more like a fortress than a mage tower.
In Dalaran, Kenrito prescribes. As long as you become an official mage, you can at least get your own arcane laboratory, and the official will provide a property.
If you want to have your own mage tower in Dalaran, you must become a high-level mage. As for high-level mages, the standard for Dalaran and Quel'Thalas is to pass the Quel-Thalas or Dalaran ring test, and at least reach the caster level of at least five rings or above, before they can raise their own mage tower.
The so-called ring exam is a testament to the mage's own strength and knowledge, and both Dalaran and Quel'Thalas have their own set of standards, and both sides recognize each other's standards.
Orondo has not been exposed to the ring test until now. So he is an official mage, but his rank is unknown, and he has not officially obtained his own mage tower. Dalaran was willing to give him such a large castle as a research room, which was already a compromise made by him for the sake of his unprecedented "super genius" label.
In the castle, in the laboratory of arcane instruments.
Orondo stood in front of a pile of metal ingots, gems, and inert magical materials, and in front of them spread out a somewhat old piece of parchment, on which countless lines, magic array materials, and spell models were drawn.
This is the puppet blueprint he dug up in a pile of magic scrolls when he was reading in the Karazhan Library. The creator of the blueprint is unknown, perhaps it was a guardian or spearhead of the Council of Ryth, or an unknown mage.
Even Egwene didn't know who created it, and when Orondo showed it to her, she just remembered that it was a blueprint of an arcane mechanical puppet she had found sometime before while collecting treasures left behind by the previous Guardians.
Because I was very interested in the later curator of Karazan in the original plot, the magic mecha of the Burning Legion, the mental energy machine of the ancient demons, and the Anubisas of the ancient gods.
Orondo left this blueprint behind and studied it when he had time, using the help of the Eye of Truth to combine the materials from the Karazan and Dalaran libraries to deduce and refine this accidentally obtained blueprint of a magical creation, in order to make his own magical mechanical creation.
He has been obtaining this drawing for three months, and he will pour 1~2 hours into it every day, and the Eye of Truth has deduced it more than 100 times.
Today, Orondo is ready to try, to turn the drawings that have been perfected as much as possible, and to bring this structural creature into the real world.
Standing in front of the drawings and the materials needed, Orondo asked the Eye of Truth to deduce the drawings again, and confirmed that he could achieve the basic functions he wanted.
"Let's get started."
He commanded in his heart to the Eye of Truth.
[Detection: Construct organisms can be completed by more than 75%]
[Conclusion: Construct is possible]
[Suggestion: After the construction of a creature is completed, it should be further upgraded]
【Construction Start ......】
The first is bones.
The skeleton of the original drawings is nothing more than ordinary hardened steel, plus some circle models to strengthen its hardness and toughness.
Orondo and the Eye of Truth studied for a few months, and decided to spend a fortune on the Arcanon Metal, which is better performing and better at channeling demons, and it uses one of the best Arcanon Metals, Mithril!
It is a very precious metal, silvery-white in appearance, much stronger than steel, but very light. All the mages in the world will take their heads for it. It is as malleable as bronze and can be polished like glass. Dwarves can make it a metal that is stronger than steel, but light as a goose's feather.
In order to procure these Mithril, it cost almost 100,000 Orondo 100,000 Dalaran gold coins, and it was not enough. In the end, it was Egwene's generosity that made up for the lack of share—the Guardians who had lived for hundreds of years and traveled all over the world and even across the world were not lacking in these things.
Under the magical power of magic, Mithril, which radiates a silvery white glow, is melted into a hot and terrifying Mithril water at Orondo's will, and then placed in the model to cool down.
Once it has cooled and formed, the skeleton of the creature is complete.
After the main bone is completed, the next step is to prepare the Arcanon Metal Wire Drawing, which is buried inside the bone as an energy diversion and control system - because the raw material of the bone is already the precious Mithril, and the only way to drive Mithril is the Arcanon Metal of the same level or better performance.
After Orondo and the Eye of Truth deduced it many times, they chose Thur Silver, which was both cost-effective and performant. Thurium is a silvery-blue metal with a certain sheen.
It is characterized by being very heavy, very heavy, even two or three times heavier than gold in the same volume.
The silver that Orondo had prepared had already been drawn into threads of various specifications, and in weight it was only 1/10 of the Mithril he used, but the price was almost half of the amount of Mithril he used.
The second step in the construction of the creature is to insert these arcane wires into the preset grooves of the cooled metal bones.
This job is more difficult because you can't go wrong. If the movement is slightly wrong, the spell reactions of the two arcane metals, Mithril and Thorium, will destroy the accuracy of the construct.
In that case, you have to start all over again, although the material loss is not large, and you only need to re-melt.
But it's time-consuming.
At the same time as burying these arcane metal cables, which function like the meridians in the organism's body, some gems and arcane metals smelted into small blocks should be placed in the joints and important positions of the biological bones of the structure.
This is the most arduous work, because there can be no mistakes, you have to take your time. The time given by the Eye of Truth is three days, and it takes three days to bury the "meridians" and "joints" of this structural creature.
True arcane experiments, especially those involving intelligence and complex constructs, are long, long.
