Chapter 15: Runic Magic

"When it comes to runic magic, most mages still think of it as a branch of destruction spells. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoBecause the spell books that have been handed down from the Elven Era to the present day only have rune traps for the three series of spells, many mages treat them as chicken ribs.

But as it turns out, they were wrong, rune magic can do more than just use it as a trap, and in this book, Rune Mage Dicker will explain in detail how runic magic is really used" - Dicker, "Outline of Rune Magic".

After reading this book two or three times, Wei Xu had to sigh that this man named Dicker was really a genius. In the book, he divides a rune into two parts, the solidified spell rune for the inner ring, and the trigger rune for the outer ring. There are only three runes of fire, ice, and thunder that have been handed down, and they are triggered, but they can be issued with one hand after using a long list of ancient elven words as spells. Dicker split it into two parts, requiring both hands to cast spells, and the spells that need to be chanted are much shorter.

In the book, Dicker even breaks down a spell sentence in detail.

"A spell is divided into five parts, first of all, the ancient elven word for "solidification", which is fixed, and then the magic that you solidify, because it is connected to the solidification and the triggers that follow, so we removed the spell from the firing mechanism of the normal spell. As a result, almost all the magic that is solidified into it is directly bursting with power, and I still haven't figured out how to solve this problem.

Next is an ancient elven that represents the association concatenation, and then the spell that we want to trigger. Broken down in this way, a rune magic becomes extremely simple, this method is like the cornerstone of our rune magic, and even the most complex rune magic is made up of these simple things. Of course, this doesn't mean that you can create a powerful rune through your infinite brain hole, and you will be pumped into a vegetative state by the huge amount of mental power required.

In addition, the spell "and" can be used in the trigger part and can also be used in solidified magic, but if used in solidified magic, it will cause the entire rune construction to be unstable and cause an explosion.

The last part of the whole rune spell is the closing spell "finish" or "cast", which means that you have finished chanting the rune and are ready to cast the spell to the designated position. ― Dicker, "Summary of Rune Magic".

The whole book records the incantations and recitations of "solidification", "association" and "and", and additionally attaches a noise spell to Wei Xu, which will produce a loud noise when the spell is released; A magic spell that strikes a ball of light that sticks to the first object it touches. These two are more practical, and there are three that are a little bit of a cheat, according to Dicker, who said that they were directly extracted from the original three major rune spells, such as Fire Burst, Ice Storm, and Thunderstorm. All three spells are cast to directly produce corresponding elemental explosions, suicide weapons.

The trigger spell has a touch trigger, which is taken from the original rune, and is triggered as soon as it is touched; Energy trigger, this is also taken from the original rune, triggered after being hit by energy of the same attribute; Timed trigger, this trigger mechanism is a kind of timing rune found in Dicker's own magic pocket watch from the runes above, and the effect is triggered after a certain amount of time; Triggered by the broken ring, when the carrier of the rune is destroyed; Finally, there is a blood vein dissolution, take a drop of blood when casting the spell, and if the rune is formed if it is contaminated with the same blood, it will be invalid, and the letter to Ah Ran should have this trigger mechanism on it.

Of all the damage rune magic, Wei Xu can only release one at most, of course, the most powerful thunderstorm technique is used as the solidification magic, and the alarm magic such as noise technique and magic light technique, Wei Xu found that he could put at least twenty according to the ratio during the experiment.

Looking at the flat ground nearly twenty meters away, Wei Xu's left hand and right hand spread out at the same time, silently reciting the spell of rune magic, and this mottled electric light lingered on his hands. Almost three seconds later, Wei Xu pushed forward with both hands together. In an instant, he felt a large amount of spiritual power flowing out, and a circular rune with a diameter of one meter appeared on the flat ground twenty meters away, engraved on the ground, and from time to time there was a surge of thunder. However, the color of the rune itself is dark, and it is completely invisible if you don't look closely at it.

Wei Xu's heart was full of joy, just now after he was finally able to throw this thunderbolt rune to twenty meters, his proficiency in the destruction spell also broke through to 40, and the level broke through to level 12.

This promotion brought Wei Xu two skills of the Destruction System:

Apprentice of Destruction: Cast preparation time reduced by 10%; Electro Affinity: Unlocks after 500 electro-based spells, increases the power of electro-based spells by 10%, and reduces the preparation time of electro-based spells by 10%.

Wei Xu instantly retreated from the sea of knowledge after learning about the new skill, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Oute had found Wei Chen, who was standing guard for him not far away, and Wei Chen was leading Oute over. Seeing that the two of them were less than five steps away from their thunder runes, Wei Xu was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand to signal them to stop.

Wei Chen and Ote stopped in confusion, seeing Wei Xu running over in a panic, cutting a wound on his hand, and dripping his own blood onto the grass in front of the two of them.

While the two of them were wondering, a circular rune with a diameter of one meter slowly appeared, and began to dissolve without a sound, even if the electric light flickered on it, it did not make a sound.

The two of them couldn't help but be shocked by the mage's methods again.

"Otte, what's the matter with me?" Wei Xu handed over everything to Ote to do the reception recently, and Ote is now busy every day like a little housekeeper, but he still helps Wei Xu take care of it in an orderly manner.

"That's the case, sir, a group of about seventy or so homeless people have just come to the town to apply, what do you think of what to do with them?" Ott opened his mouth nervously, and glanced enviously at the place where the rune had just been.

After Wei Xu issued the notice, he realized that a large number of displaced people would come, so he had already organized troops to reclaim fifty acres of newly reclaimed wasteland, all of which were at the foot of the mountain, connected with the previous land, and it was two miles away from the town. Ten large stoves were built behind the lumber mill to steam bread (the bread in Skyrim is actually no different from the steamed dough and other dough that I used to eat on Earth, so don't be misled). And in the field outside the town, three acres of fruits and vegetables were harvested.

Just waiting for you to come, Wei Xu's heart burst with joy.

Follow Ott to the front of his residence, which has been converted into a square for a bonfire, or the occasional heads-up game, or something like that, and now the square is full of people. In order to prevent a riot or something, Wei Xu's fifteen soldiers maintained order around him.

There was a commotion below, and even if Wei Xu arrived, the noise did not subside.

"Silence!!" Wei Chen next to him roared. Wei Xu's ears hurt, and he said in his heart, Did you also awaken Nord's racial talent, this voice roared ...... I saw that the people below were silenced by this roar, and the faces of a few people with poor physical fitness were pale.

"What are you doing in Half Moon Town?" Wei Xu asked lightly.

"Kind mayor, give me a little money, poor man." A ragged beggar below put his hand under Wei Xu's nose.

Wei Xu was not too dirty, and slowly opened his hand, "I'm not a refugee shelter here, so I don't need to eat rice!" ā€

There was a buzz from below. Seeing this, Wei Xu shook his hand and a noise technique was released, and a huge piercing screaming light cluster rushed into the crowd, hovering above the crowd's heads and rushing into the sky. The people in the square couldn't stand the screaming and squatted on the ground one by one.

The crowd fell silent again. Wei Xu said solemnly, "Next, all my words are orders, and anyone who disobeys the order will be directly expelled from Half Moon Town!" Those who refuse to leave will be directly chopped up and thrown into the river to feed the fish! ā€

"Kill!" After Wei Xu finished speaking, the fifteen soldiers who were maintaining order next to him who followed Wei Xu from the Knife Ridge shouted loudly. The sound of this convergence shook the people in the square again.

"Everybody stand up!" Wei Xu saw that the effect of shock and deterrence was good, and spoke.

The people below immediately raised their heads one by one, revealing their torsos, which were not much thicker than firewood sticks.

"Ihad"

"Here!"

"Puton!"

"Here!"

"Physically fit people are selected from among them to join the guard"

"Yes!" The two guys, Ihad and Puton, also knew that they had to be serious now to be able to calm the field, and they answered one by one neatly and majestically, picking and picking in the crowd.

"Otte"

"Yes, Mr. Wei." Otte, a fourteen-year-old boy who was much less ferocious than the Nords, replied very gently.

"Arrange for the old women with sound hands and feet to go to the stove to start the pot, let them be familiar with the place and bring them back, you have half an hour."

"Yes, sir."

By the time Ihad and Purton and Ote had finished choosing, there were less than twenty of the seventy left. Most of them were under the age of fifteen, and there was also a one-eyed dragon, and a lame old man.

Wei Xu looked at the one-eyed dragon and said, "Who are you?" What do you think are your strengths that deserve to be left with you? ā€

The one-eyed dragon made a standard military salute to Wei Xu, "Report to the chief, I don't have a name, my nickname is Hawkeye, I used to be the captain of the third wing of the second battalion of the imperial army, and now I am retired!" My specialties are Scouting, Stealth, and Bows! ā€

Eagle Eye? The shadow of a beggar in Dugu City flashed in Wei Xu's mind.

"Puton, this person will help you train scouts in the future, he has the right to give you training suggestions, he has no right to mobilize the guards, and the treatment is the same as the guards" Wei Xu gestured to Puton for a moment and then asked the lame old man on the other side, "So, old man, what about you?" ā€

The lame's intact foot moved back, at a steady angle to the old wooden cane, and cleared his throat. "Roar!" A syllable came out of his mouth, and the air around him was visibly rippling and rushing into the sky. Wei Xu, who was not hit by that ripple, still felt a tightness in his chest, and there was nothing more deafening than this!

Then the lame old man said lightly, "When I was young, I climbed Luo Feng and visited Graybeard. ā€

Seeing the old man's indifferent expression, Wei Xu also respectfully said: "In the future, you can arrange for you to teach them to roar every day before lunch, and we will provide you with your own room, and we will be responsible for the three meals, and give you 1 gold as a salary every year, is this good?" Elderly? ā€

The lame old man nodded faintly and never spoke again.

Then he said to the remaining teenagers under the age of fifteen, "Whoever of you came here with your family, step forward." ā€

Most of the children took a step forward, and the eight children between the ages of twelve and fifteen were still standing in place. These eight Wei Xu asked them to go to Ihad's blacksmith shop to get started, and there were more people, and the equipment couldn't keep up.

When Ote came back with someone, Wei Xu called everyone together again:

"Residents! Ever since you decided to come to Half Moon Town, you've been residents of the town! I hope you guys do a good job! Cherish your hard-earned food! When the construction of Half Moon Town is completed, you will have the right to settle here! Starting tomorrow, you will have a bowl of vegetable soup and a loaf of bread in the morning, two loaves of bread and side dishes plus an apple at noon, and two loaves of bread and potato soup in the evening. Add an extra piece of venison at noon to join the guard. If you have children, your children will be treated in the same way as you until they are fourteen years old, and after they will work for food. The last one, all those who are passive and sabotage will be expelled from Half Moon Town! ā€

The night of Tamriel descends on cheers......
