Chapter 38: Core Knowledge (I)
"During the long war, I found that every year at the nearest two months, troll casters swarmed in their lairs to perform some sort of spell ritual. My team and I took advantage of the custom of trolls and killed them in large numbers. Later I found out that they were summoning divine creatures, and of course they must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise the war that would have been unfavorable to us will become even more unfavorable. As an elven spellcaster, I am obligated to prevent rituals from taking place and to break their customs. ”
The author of the manuscript, who has no news in today's elven society, has a good chance of dying in the war. Shane closed the manuscript and read the existing troll knowledge. I only feel that the caster in the troll war and the current caster are completely two states. **Spiritual traditions such as seeking knowledge, fearless of hardships and dangers, and being brave and fearless are far away, and it is no wonder that Silvermoon City wants to change the mental state of today's elves. But the general trend is that without the baptism of blood and fire, it is difficult to change anything.
The manuscript is ultimately located in the human geography area of the library, which enriches the knowledge storage.
The Royal Mage Guild also responded, and they generously transferred their knowledge of the defensive barrier to the Mage Tower, asking Shane to transform the defensive barrier himself.
Of course, Shane did not complain, but was happy, because he did not want to let go of any opportunity to practice. Solan Lian said she wanted to be part of the project as well.
"I read the spell books transcribed by Master Shane, and each one emphasized the importance of practice. I think Natsu is right, so I want to practice it as well. ”
It was the first time Sean had heard her say something so long, and Solan Lian's reticence might be pertinent, and she could clearly express her meaning when she met something she was interested in.
It's not difficult to take one more person to learn, the basic structure of the defense barrier, when he first arrived at the sentry post, he had already analyzed it with the eye of truth, and Shane gave Solan Lian the "Rune Barrier Basics" to learn, and checked the engineering drawings of the defense barrier of the Windranger Sentry by himself.
The effect of the defensive barrier spell comes from the runestone, and the energy is provided by the leyline net. Runestones are buried underground and connected to the leyline net, and energy flows through each runestone, activating defenses.
To expand the barriers, you must first dig up the leylines and connect them to new runestones. The core technology of the barrier is made of rune stone, which is different from the barrier that connects Silvermoon City to the sunwell, the rune stone of the sentry post does not require high energy bearing, and the structure is relatively simple.
Sean started to make new rune stones, leaving some materials for Solan Lian to learn and make, and practice against the knowledge. The plan is to double the size of the outpost and require eighteen runestones to build a new regional defense system. On the side of the Mage Tower, dig through the earth until you see the leyline nets and rune stones, and then dig out along the leylines to dig out the required area.
Connect the new rune stone to the leyline magic net to build a complete circle.
"Master Solanlian, have you recorded everything?" Shane asked.
"It's all on the record." In practice, Solan Lian recorded all the processes and wrote down her practical insights. She cherished the record book, and Shane saw that she had finished recording with a small package of spirit pattern cloth, and opened the bag and took it out when she was ready.
"The last step is to record how to channel the leyline energy and form a cycle."
Shane raised his hand, aimed at the leylines, projected arcane energy to connect with the leylines, and then slowly dragged it like a painting, leading the leyline energy across the rune stone, drawing a circle. The leyline energy was dry and hot, and it made him feel like swallowing carbon in his throat, which was very uncomfortable.
The link was complete, each rune stone was lit, and Shane took out the key he had made in advance, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and uttered the secret words: 'Arcane is omnipotent, and the secrets are endless. The defensive barrier rises, covering the new area like a bubble, embracing the original barrier like twin sisters, circles next to each other, and some areas overlapping.
'It's done, it's a bit inappropriate to call the old and new areas a sentry, what is the name of the new area? Shane was silent for a moment, thinking of a difficult style of naming a dungeon: "The new area is called the Mage Zone, and the old area is called the Ranger Zone." ”
"Master Shane, isn't the purpose of the transformation dual-military-civilian use?" Solanlian asked, scribbling on the book.
"Don't worry, I've prepared two secondary keys for the rangers to use, for civilians to enter and exit on a daily basis." Shane said, filling his heart with a sense of accomplishment, and practice was indeed the best way to exercise: "Master Solanlian, how have you gained. ”
"Thanks, sort it out and show it to Master Shane." Solan Lian finished recording, bowed slightly, and hurried back to her residence.
Shane also returned to the study, poured himself a cup of black tea, took a sip, and leaned back in his chair. From the window, you can see the entire area of the sentry post. The Engineer family was strolling, the rangers on leave were in and out of the hotel, and the chocobo was arguing for food in the pens.
Since his arrival, the sentry buildings have risen one by one, and the popularity has slowly increased, and the place is bitter but a bit of home.
"I'm lazy today" Shane closed his eyes and meditated and rested, his spirit gradually revealed, under the ground was the blue leyline, the blacksmith shop was clanging, several rangers were beating each other in the hotel, and Sylvanas led the rangers back outside the barrier.
"She wasn't very happy about the start of the expansion, she was pouted when she saw me, she didn't talk properly, and she had to communicate well when she saw her in the evening. What is in the air? Black dots? ”
The spirit extends to touch the black dots, and the black dots vacuum cleaner sucks the spirit away, and inside is a purple-black world, and the spirit 'sees' not too far, and can only see the purple-black that fills the space. It's very monotonous and boring, retract the spirit, there are other black dots in the air, and the spirit explores by itself, and it is still a purple-black world.
After a long time, the spirit returned, and Sean opened his eyes, and the white lady and the blue child were in the sky. "I'm promoted!" During the armed reconnaissance, the spirit was on the verge of promotion, and Shane did not deliberately seek the most, and slowly accumulated and waited for it to come to fruition. The spirit of probing is full and robust, and the spells burned before have become much smaller, in contrast, the spirit is boundless, and the magic power is also filling, and it is indeed promoted to the sixth ring.
"Can I come in, Master Shane?" Solan Lian said with a magical voice.
"Come on," Shane replied with a voice.
Solanlian teleported to the chief floor, opened the door to the study, bowed, and then walked to the desk and handed the sorted records to the desk.
Her handwriting is neat and her records are very careful. There is no shortage of purpose, knowledge, tools, processes, and details. At the end, it reads, "I am very satisfied with the system of the Red Sun and White Pagoda, and each mage can leave his own opinions and experiences for those who come after him to learn." By the time I was documenting the experience, I had already reaped more important results than the completion of the project, and I would like to thank Master Shane Dawnblade for giving me the opportunity to practice it. ”
The last sentence was not for Shane, but after reading it roughly, it was returned to Solan Lianne. "Are you going to share it to the library?"
"Yes," Solanlian replied, pausing and calling Sean's name "Master Sean"
"Huh?"
"Congratulations on your promotion"
"Thank you"
"Can you ask for any tricks on the arcane?"
"There are no tricks, because everyone has different talents." There were apprentices in Silvermoon who asked the same question, but Shaun wouldn't have responded to Solan Liane with the same words, she was a different kind of mage than those apprentices: "But there's one thing that's fair to all, and that's time." ”
Shane spread out his right hand and gathered energy to cast a fire explosion technique, the fireball shrank in his hand, the diameter of half a meter shrunk to the size of a fist, the color was changing, orange, kumquat, golden, golden, white, heat accumulated inward to prevent loss. The number of rings is increased, and the control and compressible energy are improved.
"I started exercising control when I was in the Zero Ring, and now I can control spells to make extreme changes, can you feel the energy in the fireball?"
Solanlian looked at the fireball and nodded.
"Yes, it's not just talent that determines the level of an arcane caster's achievement, it's also time utilization, understand?"
"Thank you for the guidance."
Solanlian was gone, and Shane walked back to the living room, pushed open the door, and saw the elf: "I knew you were here." ”
