Chapter 70: Link's Matchstick (I)

The Syndicate's thieves were hiding secrets, and three days had passed, and Anderson hadn't even found the lair of those guys, and there was no urgency to do so, so Link waited patiently.

As for Princess Anne, she was going to Hot Springs City to report on her work, and she had to reluctantly leave the next day, and no one bothered her, and Link was finally able to learn magic with peace of mind.

He no longer lived in the attic of the inn, but in the courtyard bought by the Flamingo mercenaries, where there were people to take care of him, and the food cooked by the chef hired at a high price was very delicious, and no one disturbed his studies, and he was very satisfied.

In three days, Link had already finished reading three enchanted books.

He also has a fairly comprehensive understanding of enchantment, and in the book "Introduction to Enchantment", the first sentence of the opening sentence is very concise and clear about the nature of enchantment.

"Enchantment is the process of attaching magic to an object!"

Theoretically, with the right approach, all magic can be solidified, such as fireballs, armor, wind blades, mystical powers, and so on.

These methods and techniques of solidifying magic are the category of enchantment.

Wands, for example, are actually focused on the solidification of magic.

It is said that 500 years ago, magicians still did not use wands to cast spells, and their usual method of casting spells was to use two purposes, while using focused magic to condense and compress their magical energy, and then began to release the magic they wanted.

At that time, it was much more difficult to become a qualified magician than it is today.

After reading three books, the first thing Link did was write letters, two of them.

One is to record all the doubts that I don't understand after thinking about it these days, and then send it to Moira to answer. The other is addressed to Ellett, the two have similar interests and similar IQs, and it is very interesting to chat, Link will write letters to Ellett when he has nothing to do, and the letters will either discuss the whimsy of magic, or exchange some interesting anecdotes, and have a lot of fun.

While waiting for the reply, Link was not idle, he began to do enchantment experiments in his room according to the various theoretical and practical knowledge in the book.

The most commonly used metal in enchantment is Mithril, because Mithril has extremely excellent magic conduction, through various means to form Mithril into various structures, it can stably store magic energy for a long time, by changing the structure of Mithril, you can change the structure of magic energy at the same time, and finally complete the purpose of casting.

Of course, there are many details to pay attention to when practicing it, which is the purpose of Link's experiment.

He didn't have Mithril on hand now, it didn't matter, Link didn't hesitate to dismantle the Crescent Moon Wand, although this wand was only of excellent quality, but it used a lot of Mithril, and after removing the wand, Link got a full 500 grams of Mithril.

"What a waste, it is estimated that the cost of 1,000 gold coins is all on this Mithril, this so-called master, the level is average." Link reckoned that this was bragging about the wand's original owner, Grant, for the sake of face.

With Mithril in hand, Link used the 20 free points he had on hand to purchase a transformational magic that was necessary for enchantments: Shaping.

Get in shape

Level 2 magic

Energy consumption: 0.2 points per second

Purpose: When cast on an object, it can change its physical shape at will according to the caster's wishes.

(Note: One of the essential spells for low-level enchantment)

After learning this magic, Link immediately used it on the Mithril placed on the table.

This magic does not need to be focused, just cast the spell with bare hands, and the magic energy in the body surges, arranging a very special magic structure, and then, a strange force is attracted.

This power is almost transparent, it exists in Link's palm, and if it weren't for its presence changing the refractive index of the air, Link wouldn't have seen it at all.

Link knew that this should be the so-called 'Higgs Force Field' in the magic of the Alteration System.

This force field was discovered by a magician named Higgs more than 600 years ago, and it was he who pioneered the transformation of magic, and at the same time pulled the enchantment from the high-end realm that can only be used by high-level magicians to the extent that ordinary magicians can use it.

The Higgs force field attribute is quite peculiar, it can change the form of all non-living things, as long as you master the skill, it is not a problem to turn stones into gold and fossils into water.

Of course, these techniques are very, very difficult, and there is an even greater constraint, which is the huge consumption of mana energy.

The more you have to change the properties of an object, the more magic energy you consume, such as the magic of turning stones into alchemy, which is simply the supreme means of making a fortune in the understanding of ordinary people.

But in reality, to convert a fist-sized pebble into the same quality of gold, you have to consume all the magic energy of a level 6 mage, and you may not even succeed.

How precious is a magician's magic power? Who would be hungry enough to consume their magic energy for such a little gold? Therefore, the magic of turning stones into gold is basically not learned by magicians.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Back to business.

Link manipulated the transparent magical force field, wrapped it in a thumb-sized mythril nugget on the table, and began to imagine the magical structure of the glass beads in his mind.

Link, who has a strong soul, has a very accurate visual thinking ability, and at this time, this ability helps him a lot!

Sure enough, as he imagined, the Mithril quickly changed, from a block to a silk, from a silk to a magical rune, and finally into a three-dimensional magical energy structure.

About three minutes later, a very delicate Mithril ball appeared on the table, and at first glance, this ball was a delicate hollow structure, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was actually the magic energy structure of the glass bead.

Of course, because there is no input magic energy in the Mithril Thread, there is no structure, and it cannot cause the resonance of the fire element, and it is just a beautiful craft.

"Let's see if it works." Link picks up the Mithril orb, and the magic energy infuses it.

This process is very worry-free, Link only needs to brainlessly infuse it with magical energy, and does not need to think about the magic structure at all, because the Mithril thread will automatically channel the magic energy into the magical structure of the glass beads.

In an instant, the magic energy filled the entire Mithril orb, and immediately after, Link saw that the Mithril orb began to glow, turn blue, and finally become a pale blue orb that emitted a dim light.

It's Link's magic: the glass beads.

"Tsk, this way of casting spells is really worry-free, but the cost is a bit high." Link sighed, a magic thrown out is 1000 gold coins, and no matter how rich the magician is, he probably can't use it.

This glass bead with Mithril as the core is the most basic magic equipment, as long as he is a magician and has 1 magic energy in his body, he can use Link's glass bead if he enters this Mithril ball.

Of course, the cost of the entire magic equipment is too high, not to mention the one-time use, the power is still pitiful, and it can only be used for experiments.

"The basic structure of the wand is introduced in Basic Enchantment, I'll give it a try."

Link found a yellow wattle stick, and then according to the magic structure introduced in the book, he used plastic energy magic to fuse the Mithril filament into the wooden stick seamlessly, and then did some artistic processing on the wooden stick, and a basic wand was successfully made.

Link observed the rough stick wrapped around the Mithril filament in his hand, and information appeared in his vision.

At a glance, the information on it was:

Primary Wand (unnamed)

Inferior

Effect: Magic +5%.

Well, it's shoddy enough, and it only took Link less than half an hour before and after.

I tried to cast a spell with this wand, and it felt pretty good.

"Haha, that's funny." Link couldn't help but laugh.

With two successive successes, Link became very interested in enchantment, and he remembered that there was a chapter in Basic Enchantment, one of which was about drawing magic scrolls.

Magic scrolls, that is, using special magic guide ink, write the magic structure in a flat state on the anti-magic paper, the advantage of this is that it is very easy to carry, and the cost is extremely low, by pre-depositing magic energy and some special trigger runes, even ordinary people can use it.

Link wants to draw a magic scroll, but he doesn't have the materials on hand, but that's okay, just use the local materials.

What if you don't have Magic Ink?

It's okay, the most primitive magic guide ink is the blood of magical creatures.

Mages are magical creatures, so the mage's blood can be used as a guide ink, and the more powerful the mage's blood, the easier it is to use.

Link himself put a few milliliters of blood on himself to make magic guide ink,

What to do with paper? Parchment paper is the most basic anti-magic paper.

When everything was ready, Link dipped his quill pen in his own blood and drew the plane magic structure of the basic fire bomb on parchment.

Link's precise image-based thinking helped him again, and with the help of his gods, he drew the magical structure of the fire bomb technique on parchment with a single stroke, and finally added a trigger rune, and then injected magic energy into it.

Suddenly, the red blood on the parchment showed the brilliance of magic, but due to the restriction of triggering runes, this scroll did not attract the fire elemental and turned into a fire bullet.

Link immediately tested the effect.

He wiped the trigger rune from the parchment paper in the way the scroll was triggered, and then threw the scroll into the distance.

'Whew' in mid-air, the scroll began to attract the fire element, then began to burn, and finally turned into a ball of flame, because the material of the scroll was too rough, and the magic structure on it was also very simple, so this fire bomb technique was not explosive, but it was successful after all.

"Tsk, that's amazing!" Link's interest was completely aroused.

At this time, the reply from the Academy of Magic also arrived, and after reading Ellett's reply, Link opened Verola's reply, which clearly answered his magic questions, and at the same time, it also came with three new magic books, namely "The Making of Wands", "Subtle Techniques of Enchantment", and "The Wonderful Use of the Higgs Force Field".

Well, as soon as he saw the titles, Link was like a treasure, and after a cursory look at "The Making of Wands", he immediately decided that he was going to make himself a wand of his own!
