Chapter 1372: The Contemplative by the Cauldron
Harry and Ron had been sitting dumbly next to them for more than half an hour.
Before, the two of them were still struggling with the difficulty of sleeping, but now they feel that they have reached the point where they can fall asleep on the spot as long as they are given a pillow.
To be honest, they were initially curious about Maca and Hermione's experiments, who had developed the technique of constructing a Murphy Array on a stone slab with a curved surface, and had made a round shield with a defensive array out of stone.
From the discussions between Maca and Hermione during the test, it was known that the effect of the array was to achieve a certain degree of defense against non-physical magic through rapid interference with magic.
And I have to say that after several actual tests by Maka, it can be seen that the effect of the magic text array designed by Hermione this time is indeed very good. Not even the beam of regular power, which Maca controlled its intensity, failed to cause direct damage to the stone shield.
It's a pity that the biggest problem now lies in its carrier.
So far, both Maca and Hermione have agreed that the "stone" is the most suitable vehicle for the use of ancient magic texts, as it does not cause much damage to the magic flowing on its surface.
However, things made of stone are too heavy after all, and they are also quite easy to break. In order to follow Hermione's original idea and use this technique to create the Demon Armor, it is clear that there are many problems to be solved.
However, as Maca said, Hermione's idea cannot be said to be new, but it is quite feasible, and it is a direction worth exploring in depth for the application of ancient magic literature.
Of course, as for Maca saying that he himself didn't think of the use of curved slates, this is a bit of a deliberate compliment to Hermione. After all, he had even made a spherical rune formation before, so how could he not have studied the arc structure?
"Hermione ......"
After staring at the stone shield that was cracked due to its inability to carry the operation of the formation for a while, Maca seemed to have figured out some new idea, and suddenly said:
"I thought we might be able to try our hand at making 'stone powder paint' - if we first made armor with a magic pattern out of metal that was both sculpable and strong, and then applied a special layer of stone powder to the surface and sketched it with the ink that channeled the magic power......"
As she spoke, Maca shook her head.
"Forget it," he said, "no matter how strong ordinary metal is, it can only carry the operation of the Demon Text Array." This application may have its value in other ways, but when it comes to making armor, the problem is still very large. ”
“…… Hermione, I'll get you some metal shields and you can try to do what I just thought. As for the armor, let's put it aside for now! ”
Considering that the magic of those physical attacks is not something that a set of armor can resist, Maca's personal thoughts are actually based on the direction of the rune wizard's robes. It would be a huge leap if one day we could overcome the formation structure technology on the fabric.
So, after a few more words of encouragement to Hermione, he put the matter aside and turned to look at Harry and Ron.
"I'm sorry, y-"
As soon as she spoke, Maca saw that the two guys were already dozing off shoulder to shoulder, and even a trace of sparkling saliva hung on the corner of Ron's mouth.
"Speaking of which, what are they here for?" Maca wondered.
Hermione, who was cleaning up the slate, shrugged her shoulders and said without looking back:
"They...... I must have been unable to sleep and wanted to come out for a walk, and then I happened to hear movement on our side! ”
"Maybe! Then don't wake them up, they seem to sleep quite comfortably. ”
Maca smiled, then lifted the staff in her hand and waved it, turning the chair they were sitting on directly into a bed.
Hermione glanced at them one last time, then waved at Maca:
"Then I'll go back first, you...... Surely you can't sleep yet, right? Remember to rest early! ”
"Well, good night."
Maca nodded, stood still and watched Hermione leave the tent before turning and walking into the corner on the other side.
The crucible was still bubbling hot, just a little different from when he and Hermione had first come in, and now the steaming mist was less pungent than it had been at first, but much softer.
He stood aside and looked inside, and saw that the liquid had thickened, and it looked as if it had turned into half a pot of green magma.
"Well, it's almost ready......"
After muttering a word, he simply sat down next to him, as if he wanted to wait for the moment when the potion was ready.
Just while he waited quietly, the necklace that had cursed Dean Bornse quietly appeared in his mind again.
I remember that he made a judgment at that time, that the person who made the necklace was not Helbo, but someone else. In other words, they may have other enemies operating in the shadows, but it is only because Helbo's movements are so strong that most of them are unaware of it.
And now, although Helbo should not be able to continue his plan for a while, those who take advantage of the chaos to hide in the shadows may be about to appear.
"No," Maca shook her head again at the thought, "if there really is such a group of people, they should be more inclined to hide now...... Or were they just another group of Helpo's subordinates that Helpo had prepared in advance? ”
Maca likes to keep herself in the works, and Helbo seems to like to do the same. Yes, it's no wonder that Maca thinks so.
"It's a nuisance."
Smacking his lips slightly, he frowned and muttered secretly.
However, no matter who else is secretly involved, or even how many groups of people exist, what he has to do will not change. As it stands, Helbo himself is still the biggest threat, and everything else is clearly secondary.
So, it is imperative to come up with a means to deal with the demon as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Maca raised her hand and rubbed her temples vigorously - during the time when Helbo's plans were skewed, he needed to seize the opportunity to try to regain the initiative, which was difficult but had to be done.
Before she knew it, Makafu was deep in thought again. Most of his face, which was slightly dignified, was blocked by the hand supporting his forehead, so that people could not see his full expression.
For a moment, there was silence in the tent, only the boiling gurgling sound of the liquid in the crucible still continued, bringing out bursts of sweeter and sweeter medicinal fragrance.
