Chapter 55: Production
After a night's rest, the next day, Angela was determined to get to work.
Both mania and thirst are inseparable from darkness, and can be explored with [Alert Marks].
However, whether it is in the human body or in the air, darkness is indispensable, so it is also necessary to set a concentration, as long as the concentration of darkness reaches a certain range, the [Warning Mark] will start to alarm.
She first hired a carpenter, who made the wooden plaque, and then began to carve the mark.
Avril is also helping out, and the [Vigilance Mark] will be the first mark she learns.
After learning about runes for so long, carving runes was not a problem for Avril.
However, the sigil is not a rune, and in many cases, the sigil has to be adjusted according to reality.
For example, the [Warning Mark] that Angela arranged on the Misty Border Cordon on the Mountain is different from the [Warning Mark] carved now.
One is generic, and the other is used to specifically target something.
One is suitable for camping in the wilderness, and the other is suitable for the current situation.
The specific differences, Angela while guiding Avril Lavigne portrayal, while telling her why such improvements.
One morning, the carpenter brought in 20 wooden signs, Angela used three as demonstrations, and the remaining 17 were all used by Avril.
With the exception of 12 of them, which were clearly decorated, the remaining five that looked decent were now in Angela's hands, awaiting the final test.
With the injection of magic power, there was a click, and there was a big gap on the wooden card.
Avril looked depressed: "It's obviously the same, how can this be." ”
Angela said with a smile: "Wood is not a stone, let alone a gemstone, it has its own unique texture, when carving, it can not be rigid, but also according to the texture selection, otherwise the magic leakage, can not form a magic circuit, naturally scrapped." ”
As she spoke, she stretched out the wooden sign in front of Avril and pointed it out to her: "Look here, this line can actually be appropriately deviated to the side to avoid this pattern." ”
Avril nodded as if she didn't understand, picked up the notebook next to her, and jotted it down.
Seeing that Avril understood, Angela picked up another wooden card and injected it with magic.
As a result, it was scrapped, and even though Avril was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
The third, the fourth, until the fifth was broken, declaring Avril all of her morning's work to be scrapped.
Angela smiled and pinched Avril's nose to comfort the dejected Avril: "Don't be like this, be happy." ”
Avril hung her head and asked, "Sister, am I stupid?" ”
"Not really." Angela said: "It is still a little more difficult for a novice like you to use wood as a material to carry runes, in fact, the best way is to use stone or parchment rolls, the texture of the stone is more uniform, but not too hard, and the difficulty of carving is greatly reduced, while parchment rolls only need to pay attention to the concentration of ink, and it is also a lot easier." ”
Avril took a breath and regained her spirits: "I see, I will definitely succeed." ”
In the afternoon, more wooden plaques were delivered, and Angela, who inevitably failed once, used four wooden plaques to successfully carve three and then began to guide Avril again.
Unfortunately, many didn't go as Avril had hoped.
In the afternoon, she made 12 wooden signboards that looked to be passable, but after being charged, all of them were broken.
At dinner, Angela and Avril are invited by Ireland to dinner in the castle hall.
For the aristocracy, this dinner was not sumptuous, just a sausage, a bowl of mashed potatoes, and a bowl of broth.
During the meal, Ireland asked, "Miss Angela, how are things going?" ”
He was a little anxious, and just today, someone was attacked by a manic person.
Angela took out six wooden cards and put them on the table and said, "This is what I did today." ”
The servant took six wooden tablets and placed them on the Irish table.
Time is in a hurry, and the wooden plaque is very rough to build, but the patterns (imprints) on it are extremely exquisite, and it seems that something flows between them, and has a different charm.
Ireland looked at it with interest and asked, "How do you use this thing?" ”
"Once it encounters a thirsty or manic person within ten yards, it will glow, if it is in the early stage, it will be a faint white light, in the middle stage, it will emit a faint red light, and in the later stage, it will be a blood-red light, of course, not only thirsty and manic patients, but also the vast majority of dark creatures."
Angela didn't dare to pack a ticket, as it wouldn't be of much use if she came across a dark creature with a stealthy aura.
Ireland was very happy and said, "It's a good thing, but it's too little, and I hope Miss Angela will make more." ”
Angela said, "Yes, you have paid two hundred silver coins, I can make you 50 of these wooden cards, if you still want it, you need to add additional money, you can give the materials, five silver coins each." ”
Five silver coins each, really not expensive, because Angela is calculated from the silver coins given to her by Ireland, this kind of silver coin is not of good quality, almost two are comparable to a silver pearl.
Fifty of these wooden tiles is enough, but that's barely enough.
But if he had to add money, it would hurt him.
You know, it's not been peaceful lately, and it's harder to make money.
This year's income is only two thousand gold dragons, and most of it is directly used to raise an army and maintain the daily life of the castle.
Two hundred silver coins were directly equivalent to ten golden dragons, which was directly equivalent to the price of an elite soldier for a year, and it hurt his heart to spend it, so that he did not plan to pay another copper coin.
Ireland asked, "Miss Angela, can it be cheaper?" ”
Angela shook her head, lowered her head to eat, and stopped talking.
Ireland had no choice but to say, "The pattern is beautiful, but it's too rough." ”
Angela said, "That's none of my business, as long as you don't destroy the pattern I carved on it, it's your business how to do it afterwards." ”
Ireland asked, "Can it be silver-plated?" ”
"Gold and silver plating." Angela swallowed the food in her mouth: "But there is a two- or three-percent chance of failure, try to be as even as possible to reduce the chance of failure." ”
Ireland nodded in understanding, determined to get a piece of silver, otherwise as a lord, it would be a matter of hanging a wooden sign.
After another three days, Angela has completed 24 wooden cards at a rate of six wooden cards a day.
In the past three days, Avril finally succeeded by luck, but then failed again and again, proving this luck.
But it was a good start, and Avril had some confidence.
