Chapter 35: The Nautilus Magister
Chapter 35
Actually, you don't need to ask too seriously.
Zhang Youxing only needs to ask someone on the street where there is a workshop in this city that specializes in making magic crystal treasures.
Everyone who asked on the road gave Zhang Youxing the same answer.
That's the Nautilus Mage Tower.
This is the abode of a legendary Magister.
He was more detached and barely bothered with anything unrelated to the study of magic.
And the Magister of the Nautilus is recognized as the most powerful maker of magical treasures in the city.
The Nautilus Mage Tower is located in one of the busiest areas of the city center.
It is said to be a tower, but in fact it is just a building that is about seven or eight stories high.
For Zhang Youxing, who is accustomed to seeing the kind of high-rise cities on the earth, this can only be regarded as the most ordinary house in a small city at most.
However, buildings with a height of more than four floors are rare in this world, and this mage building is naturally called a tower by the people here.
The exterior of the tower is a glass curtain wall-like building, with a smooth surface, but if you look closely, you can still see that it is carved with very fine lines, which exude a faint light, and a soft shield protects the tower, making it difficult for even a trace of dust to enter it.
"Canglan, what do you think of the lines on this wall?" Zhang Youxing touched his chin and looked up and down at the structure of the mage tower in front of him.
"Master, this texture is too far from the game console we made, I can integrate hundreds of millions of texture structures on a sphere, but the same area on this can only accommodate a few thousand texture structures at most." Canglan said to Zhang Youxing very bluntly.
"So, let's go check it out first."
Getting into the Nautilus Mage Tower is not an easy task, and getting in requires a personal invitation from the Nautilus Mage, or bringing something that will interest the Nautilus Magus.
Zhang Youxing naturally didn't receive the invitation from the Nautilus Magister, so he wanted to bring something that the Magister was interested in.
But I happen to have one thing in my hand, and that is part of the design drawings of the game consoles in this world.
He had already registered the copyright agreement with the relevant authorities in advance, and even if it was made public, he was not worried about being stolen by others.
In fact, the technology of this thing is enough to move forward for several eras, how many people in this world can deduct hundreds of millions of lines on a table tennis ball with their bare hands?
If there really is, Zhang Youxing will still feel happy.
"Sir, miss, please stop, behind is private territory, if you forcibly break in, my master will not be polite."
A colorful parrot flew down from the sky and came to Zhang Youxing, standing in front of a crossbar extending from a wooden stick.
"Are you a gatekeeper?"
"Gatekeeper? What is that? The parrot was suddenly puzzled by Zhang Youxing's rhetorical question, so he tilted his head and stared at Zhang Youxing.
"Forget it, I'd like to meet the Nautilus Magister, I should have something he's interested in."
Zhang Youxing gestured to Canglan, Canglan immediately stretched out his slender hand, and after a ring on his finger flashed with a light, a pile of parchment ten centimeters thick appeared on Canglan's hands, and then Zhang Youxing took it and handed it to the parrot in front of him to check.
"What is this?" The parrot looked at it with great curiosity.
"This is the blueprint for some of the magic treasures."
"Magical treasures, with so many parchments, it seems that it should be very large."
"No, it's only that big."
Zhang Youxing gestured to a shape the size of a ping-pong ball.
After all, there is no such thing as table tennis in this world, so he can only use this metaphor for the time being.
"Only that big?" The parrot is more curious.
But it's just a slightly smarter beast, and it can't read the drawings in front of it.
"Please wait a moment, I will inform my master."
The parrot instantly determined that this should be something of interest to its owner.
It seemed to remember two days ago that its master had been trying to figure out how to get as many magical inscriptions as possible on very small objects.
The parrot fluttered and flew into the mage tower, while Zhang Youxing waited at the door worriedly, and at the same time put the design drawings of that part inside the defensive shield, and did not make a trespass.
Soon, in less than a minute, Zhang Youxing saw an elliptical arc appear in front of him, and then in the middle of the elliptical arc was a scene that seemed to be the interior of a building.
Is this teleportation magic?
Zhang Youxing instantly determined what the thing in front of him was.
This is very similar to the teleportation method of the oval door in a game I used to play called Portal.
Inside the door, a boy who looked like he was only twelve or thirteen children suddenly poked his head out of the portal.
"Do you have something I'm interested in?"
Is this the Nautilus Magister?
Zhang Youxing also thought that a respected magician should be a very old man with a gray beard.
And according to the known information he has obtained, this magister should be almost a hundred years old, but in front of him is a real child.
Maybe it might be some kind of rejuvenation magic.
Nautilus quickly shifted his gaze to a pile of parchment on the ground, and he immediately emerged from the portal.
He was wearing a very fine purple mage robe, which was stained with a few colored feathers.
He was suddenly unnoticed as he came out of the portal, his foot seemed to have tripped over something, and then he threw himself on the ground with his face.
Zhang Youxing felt really painful to watch.
"Sorry to make you laugh." Nautilus got up from the ground very neatly, not paying much attention to his gaffe, he quickly ran to the other party's parchment, and then carefully examined the content of the parchment.
"A thing the size of a magic bead with hundreds of millions of inscriptions engraved on it? You are crazy? Nautilus looked at two pages, and then stared at Zhang Youxing in front of her.
His eyes looked like he was looking at a fool.
"Uh, can't you do it?"
"Let's not mention what can be done, I have a conclusion before, carving more inscriptions on smaller things can indeed increase the utilization rate of magic crystals, but there is also a limit, there are too many inscriptions, magic crystals can't withstand so many inscriptions, aren't you also a waste of time to portray? What do you want to do with this magic crystal? ”
"Make a game console."
"Game consoles?" Nautilus froze.
