Chapter 090: Array Making I
Gaudus then read the scroll's simple information.
γMage Ability Enhancement Scrollγ
[Introduction: A scroll drawn using array technology, which records the knowledge and mysteries of 1-2 general abilities of mages, and can directly engrave words in your mind through the soul.] γ
[Type: Consumables.] γ
[Effect: Randomly increases the ability level of [Channel], [Caster], and [Domination]. γ
[How to use: Inject magic and read.] γ
[Note 1: This scroll can only increase the ability of mages below lv3.] γ
[Note 2: The knowledge recorded after use will disappear.] γ
When he saw "Note 1", Gao Duosi shook his head and said with a smile: "Stephen, I remember that when we first met, you were already a level 32 earth mage, so your [Chanting], [Spellcasting] and [Domination] are probably more than lv3, right?" In that case, this scroll will be of no use to you other than to exchange it for some gold coins. β
"Take something like this and let me guess... Are you afraid of losing? β
After being exposed by Gados, Stephen did not feel the slightest guilt, but said solemnly: "How come? It's just an embellishment, an add-on, and the real re-bet is actually this! β
He slammed a ring on the table.
This is a silver ring inlaid with blue broken stones, which looks shabby and shabby, but looking at Stephen's serious expression, Gao Duos realizes that this ring is by no means as simple as it seems.
"It's a piece of magic equipment with a [Flicker] array loaded on it. As soon as a trace of mana is poured in, the array will be activated. β
"The effect after activation... Is it flickering? β
Stephen nodded and said, "You'll be teleporting a distance of 5-10 meters in the direction you are facing!" And what does that mean? This means you can dodge some deadly offensive magic, you can get away from warrior classes, and it means you can quickly traverse some obstacles! It is the second guarantee of your life! β
Looking at Stephen's indud and spitting wonderful introduction, Gao Duos smiled and asked a very embarrassing question politely and awkwardly: "How many times can the [flicker] effect of this ring be activated?" β
Stephen's radiant momentum disappeared in an instant: "... Three times. β
"Can this ring's [Flicker] array still be charged?"
ββ¦ It seems that it can't. β
Looking at Gao Duosi's playful expression, Stephen said: "Although the [Flicker] Array is not as rare and powerful as the set array, it is difficult to make and the carved arrangement is so complex, it must be carefully carved by a real array expert and can be engraved on such a small ring." Plus, even if you can only activate it 3 more times, if you use it properly, it means you have 3 more chances to survive death, doesn't it? β
Gao Duosi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I accept this bet." β
"So, what about the bet you can give?" Stephen took a big bite of the blueberry sundae, said.
Gaudos pointed to himself and said, "If I lose, I'll be your apprentice, and as for the deadline, you have the final say." β
Stephen's eyes lit up, and he put the remaining half of the blueberry sundae on the table, and said, "No problem! That's it! β
Gao Duos nodded, and then began to browse through the drawings of the [Soundproof] array.
In general, compared with [robust], the [soundproof] array has lower requirements for drawing accuracy, so the difficulty of drawing is not high, and the modulation materials of the array stock solution are also very easy to buy.
However, although the difficulty of making a [soundproof] array is relatively low, this does not mean that the array is useless, on the contrary, it is one of the most widely used arrays. For example, loading on a bow and crossbow can reduce the sound of bowstring vibration, and inscribed on the blade can weaken the sound of the blade tearing through the air, and in some confidential talks, it is necessary to isolate the sound with a [soundproof] array to prevent the leakage of critical information.
After going through the drawings of the [Sound Insulation] array, Gao Duosi immediately began to study the details, especially in the part of the carving drawing and the preparation of the stock solution, not to mention the slightest carelessness, and the spirit must be highly concentrated.
Five hours later, Gaudus began to make the magic array.
First, the magic furnace is set up, the fuel is filled, and then the ingredients to be concocted are added to the raw material in the original liquid steamer in a certain order and proportion, and finally the furnace is lit.
Under the distillation of the magic flame, the raw materials gradually melted, converged, dissolved and reacted with each other, gradually forming a blue array of stock solution.
After Stephen saw it, he couldn't help but nod slightly, although he didn't know much about array technology, he had also seen other array mages do similar things. This array stock... At least in terms of color, it looks normal.
At the same time as distilling the original solution, Gao Duosi also painted the lines on a refined frost deer skin, which was the substrate for this array. And after painting the pattern, Gaudus can inscribe the array carving along the pattern.
Don't think that engraving the array engraving is just a copying job, the engraving needs to gather the magic on the tip of the array carving knife all the time, and when engraving, too light and too heavy the force can lead to the destruction of the substrate. This requires an accurate grasp of the power of the knife, as well as a good calculation of the distribution of mana, and more importantly, attention must be paid to not allowing the engraving to deviate.
Finally, the prepared array stock solution is painted on the engraving with an array brush.
Everything went smoothly, and Gauldos's hands did not tremble once like the most sophisticated machines. This is not only because he has a powerful innate ability [Soul Enhancement Lv1], which can ensure that he will never be disturbed by any external factors at the soul and spiritual level, but also because of his half-dead attributes... After all, the hands of the undead never tremble.
But just as Gaudus was about to paint the engraving, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the viscosity of the array solution.
It seems that somewhat... It's thin.
Gaudus put down his array brush, examined the Vaporizer and the Magic Furnace, and deduced from the remaining Crystal Fuel that the cause of the failure seemed to be...
The distillation time is a little longer.
It's really just a little bit, and in 13 seconds, the modulation of the array stock solution is unqualified.
Gaudus then poured the array liquid, which was large enough to fill a glass of water, into the waste bucket.
Although the array stock solution failed, Gaudus was not discouraged. At least this substrate has not been painted with a single choice, it is still available, and what needs to be done now is to hurry up and prepare another stock solution.
Looking at Gadoth's slow but smooth drawing, carving, and modulation techniques, Stephen's face gradually became a little unnatural.
Although the production of the first [soundproof] array of Gaudus was a failure, he had already demonstrated the qualities of an array mage, calm, delicate, patient, precise grasp of numbers, and stable hands like a machine, excellent and powerful.
After 5 hours, the rustle of the lines painted on the substrate by Gaudus gradually became quieter, and finally no sound could be heard, because the [soundproofing] array slowly began to take effect.
