Chapter 132: The Apprentice and the Magic Array
Goren the dwarf, Romy the halfling, and Jerry from the town. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The dwarf's strength makes him very steady when carving woodworking, and as long as he can calm down and carve slowly, it will be easy to complete the course.
The halfling had a natural advantage in carpentry, and if it weren't for the fact that the carving material was extremely hard ironwood, he would have completed the course long ago.
And Jerry is the son of Tracy, a carpenter in town, and is a carpenter. It's just that because Green has extremely high requirements for precision, he didn't complete the course until now.
Looking at the wooden plank handed over by the three of them, Green took a closer look: "Guo Lun." Yours cracked here, and there was an extra cut of ...... here," Green handed the dwarf's plank to the dwarf, "This magic circle has been scrapped. You can keep it for practice. β
The dwarf hung his head and took the plank back.
"Now that two apprentices have completed their coursework, let's change today's course to an internship." Green paused, "Everyone come with me, the internship class is in the workshop." β
Green led the apprentices to the Magic Workshop.
The Magic Workshop is located not far from the apprentice quarters, which has been expanded from the previous workshop.
Finding a workbench, Green fastened the planks to the workbench.
"Ironwood is very hard, lightweight, and has good magic resistance, making it the best material for making warships and airships, and can also be used to make the base of the magic array. Not only ironwood, but any hard material with good magic resistance can be used as the base of the magic circle. So the question is, in addition to ironwood, what other materials are suitable for making the base of the magic array? Guolun. β
"Stone, and all kinds of metals other than Mithril!" The dwarf replied excitedly.
"You're talking too far. The Magic Circle Base requires high magic resistance, but it is also not possible to use materials that have the effect of 'exorcism'. For example, cold iron and adamantite gold, while they have magical resistance, they will also repel the surrounding magic, which will disrupt the operation of the magic. Therefore, materials that have high magic resistance, but do not exorcise can be used as base materials. Ironwood and obsidian are the most common base materials, but regular slabs are often used on certain one-off magic circles. β
Green pulls out a box of Mithril filaments.
"This is a filament made of Mithril and has good magical properties." Green took out the Mithril filament from the box and showed the students, "Anything with good magical properties can be used to make magic items, but Mithril is a magician's favorite. Does anyone know why? β
Green asked the apprentices.
An apprentice raised his hand.
"Tom." Green roll call.
"Because Mithril not only has good magic properties, but also is very strong, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, and corrosion-resistant."
The answer was perfect. Mithril not only has good magic properties, but also has good stability, which not only has excellent performance, but also is very durable. Therefore, when crafting high-level magic items, Mithril is used. β
After some brief explanations to the apprentices, Green began to "solder the board".
Magic is, after all, an energy.
If magic is described as "electricity", then the magic circle is a "circuit board" composed of conductive "wires" and insulating "insulating plates". The lowest-level "circuit board" has only one layer, and only "wires" and "insulation boards", while the high-end circuit board has two or even several layers, on which many small "electronic components" are installed in addition to "wires" and "insulation boards".
Green carefully set the Mithril filament into the magic circle. Since the magic circle had already been carved, Green only needed to inlay the thread into it.
After setting the "wires", Green took out some small magic that he had prepared from another box and inlaid them into the reserved slots next to each other - these magic crystals were not only the batteries on the circuit board, but also the small electronic components on the circuit board.
The work process is boring.
The "circuit board" of [Spell Constant: Send Mirror] is not too complicated, but it is definitely not that simple. Fortunately, the most time-wasting part of the work had already been done by the apprentices, so after three hours, Green had finally finished all the setting work.
"Ha~ It's finally done." Green twisted his neck, "Now it's the final step." β
Place a magic mirror on the magic circle, then chant a spell and cast a spell!
"Spell Constantγ»Send Mirror!"
Compared with the many preparations in the early stage, the last step is much easier and faster.
With the glow of magic, the wires and magic crystals on the entire plank began to glow and function. At the same time, a faint layer of light appeared on the surface of the magic array, and some lines and directions could be faintly seen in it. After that, an image emerges in a mirror placed on the circuit board......
"Hmm~ it worked." Looking at the image in the mirror, Green smiled with satisfaction.
Around, a group of apprentices craned their necks and looked in the mirror, a hint of curiosity on everyone's face.
Green beckoned to the apprentice next to him, "Jerry, come and try your own magic props." β
"Okay, okay, mentor." Jerry hurriedly stepped forward.
Jerry cautiously looked at the mirror in front of him: "It seems to be ...... in this mirror" Jerry suddenly raised his head and looked at the other mirror on the workbench, "What appears in this mirror is the image in that mirror?" β
"Correct." Green smiled and nodded, picking up the other mirror on the table, "This is a mirror image, and the two mirrors will show the image in the other mirror." β
Green took the mirror in his hand and changed the angle. At the same time, the picture in the other mirror also changed.
Looking at the mirror in Green's hand, all the apprentices couldn't help but get excited and chattered about it.
"Alright. This concludes the experiment. Green motioned for Jerry to come down.
With excitement on his face, Jerry obediently stepped back.
Green stepped forward and pointed his finger at the magic mirror: "Cancel the magic!" β
"Beep~" and the image in the mirror disappears.
Green picked up the lesson plan and noted Jerry's grades and credits.
"Jerry and Romy get 10 points, and this is a gold reward." Green pulled out two gold coins and handed them to Jerry and Romy.
Receiving the gold coin from Green's hand, excited smiles appeared on the faces of the two apprentices - this gold coin was so easy to come by than to go outside and work hard!
"Jerry, Romy, you two have completed the first project. Next, you can earn funds by carving a magic circle. As a magician, money is very important! In addition, I have already demonstrated the inlay of the magic circle for you just now, and next time you are done carving, you can try to do the inlay work. β
Hearing Green's words, the two apprentices' eyes couldn't help but light up!
"Don't rejoice too soon." Grin paused, "The reward for the inlay is also a gold coin. Although it is not easy to scrap the material when inlaying, if any material is scrapped, the fine is enough to make your reward go down the drain! If you break any of the Mana Crystals...... Slowly pay off your debts by carving a magic circle! β
Hearing Green's words, the expressions of the two apprentices instantly became tangled.
