After seeing the worn-out notebook, Herty finally realized where it all came from: "These are...... The wild mage left behind? ”

"That's right, a low-level mage who has been ostracized by the mainstream mage group and can only wander at the second level for the rest of his life, his talent is far beyond everyone's imagination, but this era has no room for him to play at all," Gao Wen sighed and looked at the notebook in his hand, "I have read some of the research notes in it these days, and in my opinion, this notebook is worth at least half a duke." ”

Hetty was dumbfounded: "Huh?! ”

However, what Gawain said is not an exaggeration, in fact, if you look at it from the perspective of technological development, the legacy left by the Nameless Master will even show more and more value over time, although all his research is in a very rudimentary stage, Gawain is quite clear - for many epoch-making ideas and ideas, the "initial stage" is the most valuable stage.

Gawain put the notebook on the table and looked up at Hetty: "His daughter, the child named Annie is most likely to have the Shadow Elemental Assimilation Disease, which can be said to be the rarest of the many magical diseases, as a mage, you should be no stranger to this disease." ”

"Elemental Assimilation...... This is a disease unique to the Violet Kingdom, the incidence is very low, but there is no cure," Hetty nodded slightly, "I guessed it when I first saw those diaries. ”

In this world of magical powers, there are many things that are very different from Gawain's home world, some of them are good, and some of them are naturally bad - elemental assimilation is one of the worst.

This magical erosion is a disease that occurs in areas where magic is strong and elemental is active, and during the Gondor Empire, it was mostly found in the Deep Blue Wells of the Imperial Capital, and even at the height of the Empire, it was one of the almost incurable diseases; In this era, it is a "specialty" of the Violet Kingdom in the north of the continent.

If the supernatural power has brought the human beings of this world a gift belonging to nature, then the accompanying elemental assimilation is like the malice mixed in this gift.

Elemental assimilation can only occur in newborns, which is a mutation caused by the radiation of magical energy when the fetus is developing in the mother's body, and children with this disease can grow normally at first, but as they age, they will gradually show signs of being eroded and assimilated by specific elements. The patient's flesh and blood are transformed in this process, and gradually begin to semi-elementalize, and as normal biological tissues are elementalized little by little, they will also be rejected from the main material world - except for a very few races with special talents, no elemental creature can survive in the main material world for a long time, this is the natural law of this world.

This process accelerates as the disease progresses and is irreversible, and when more than half of a person's biological tissues are elementalized, he is "banished" by the physical world and pushed into the elemental plane corresponding to his elemental assimilation.

Then die between the physical world and the elemental world—the patient's remnants of biological tissue make the process horrific and tearing.

Anne, the daughter of the Nameless Wild Mage, was supposed to have this disease, and it was a shadow-prone elemental assimilation: the rarest of all elemental assimilations.

Mages and scholars have studied the various elemental realms for many years, but the mysterious shadow realm has struggled to do so.

"There is no cure for elemental assimilation, only procrastination, and the most effective way to 'delay' is to use magical power to bind the patient's body, just like those elemental summoners use magical shackles to forcibly leave an elemental creature in the physical world," Hetty is only a low-level mage, but he still knows a lot about these theoretical knowledge, "but it is more difficult than binding an elemental creature, because elemental assimilation will continue to deepen, and the whole process requires continuous infusion of magic to ......"

"A second-level mage, or a second-level mage who has been ostracized in the Secret Magic Society, does not have the ability or financial resources to maintain such an expensive treatment," Gawain nodded, "so he used his own method - to build a self-charging circle with unprecedented efficiency, and broke the iron law that similar circles can only be used for internal circulation, turning this circle into a device to 'recharge' his daughter." He was forced out of the woods, as all the large mana foci had already been occupied, and the scattered secondary mana foci in the forest didn't provide much energy at all, but he solved the problem with his special talent. ”

"But that abnormal upsurge of magic destroyed his ......magic circle," Hetty suddenly thought of one thing, "In that case, wouldn't this self-charging circle named 'Demon Net' have a big flaw?" When the mana surges, it can't withstand ......"

"No, the upsurge of mana didn't destroy the structure of the circle, it has perfect security measures," Gawain shook his head, "I saw the structure of this circle with my own eyes at the time, and I can be sure that it is intact until the end. According to Master Nomin's diary, it wasn't the circle that went wrong in the end, but the 'Shadow Transformation' ritual he performed. Magical restraint only slows down the process of elemental assimilation, but it does not cure it, and Anne is on the verge of losing control, so the wild mage ventures into a ritual that he has no control over - as a result, the magic generated by the magic net as it swells up with mana is beyond his ability. ”

"If so...... Then I won't be worried," Hetty nodded slowly, then looked at the notes left by the wild mage with a complicated expression, "I really can't imagine that a down-and-out wild mage can make such a thing...... This large magic circle made of basic units is unlike any other magic circle I know, it has abandoned almost all the complicated and difficult structures, and instead ...... Simplicity is taken to the extreme. ”

"Call it 'universal,'" Gawain smiled, "and the work of laying an experimental 'magic net' in the blacksmith's shop is ......"

As he spoke, he hesitated between Herty and Rebecca. The technical work of laying the magic array is obviously more appropriate to be handed over to Hetty, but now that Hetty has taken on most of the work of coordinating the construction of the camp, although she is very capable in this regard, the task of building the magic laboratory is still waiting for her, and Gawain really doesn't want to continue to increase her burden; It seems that it will be okay to hand it over to Rebecca, although she can only release the fireball technique, but laying a magic circle is not the same as casting spells by herself, especially this self-charging magic circle, as long as she can complete the construction according to the drawings, all she needs is the mastery of theoretical knowledge and calculation ability, but how to say it......

Every time I see Rebecca, I can't help but look at the stupid roe deer...... Is this girl really good?

As if seeing Gawain's hesitation, Rebecca jumped up on her own without waiting for Herty's voice: "Ancestor, Ancestor, Ancestor!" Leave it to me, leave it to me! I can do it! ”

"Are you sure?" Gao Wen glanced at the other party deeply, "The importance of this project is beyond your imagination, it can be said to be a foundation, and it is a precursor to many of my next plans...... Can you handle it? ”

Rebecca suddenly stopped bouncing, thought about it very seriously, and looked at Gawain timidly: "That...... If I'm going to break it, will you hit me? ”

Gawain: "...... Forget it, Hetty or you ......."

As a result, before he could finish speaking, Rebecca plucked up the courage to hold her chest and said loudly, "But I still want to try!" ”

Gao Wen looked at the girl with interest: "Oh? ”

"This circle...... I think it's interesting to look at this circle, and I think there are a lot of places to ...... It's all very good, maybe I can ...... It's okay to ......" Rebecca stuttered a little suddenly, but she didn't say a follow-up for a long time, and simply said directly, "Although I can only set fireballs, I have good theoretical knowledge!" My numeracy skills are also very good! Besides, Aunt Hetty has been so busy lately, and I haven't done anything but survey the land and help everyone burn the wasteland, I think ......"

Looking at Rebecca's nervous appearance, Gawain couldn't help but laugh and looked at Hetty: "Hetty, what do you mean?" ”

"Rebecca's theoretical knowledge and calculation ability are indeed very strong, in fact, aside from the most important item of spell casting ability, her talent is better than mine," Hetty glanced at Rebecca a little helplessly, "Of course, it would be nice to have a more stable personality." ”

"I'm sure I'm steady!" Rebecca puffed out her chest, but her eyes looked directly at the drawings that Gawain had placed on the table, which made Gawain a little curious.

So he couldn't help but ask, "Are you very interested in this magic array?" ”

"yes," Rebecca scratched her hair, "Actually, I thought a long time ago that if I could make those difficult spells easier, if I could make casting spells easier, maybe I could cast spells other than fireballs...... This circle inspires me a lot! ”

Gawain suddenly stared straight at Rebecca, and this time the little girl looked creepy.

But after a few seconds, Gawain laughed: "Very good, then this matter will be left to you." ”

Rebecca was overjoyed: "Really?!" ”

"Of course it's true," Gawain pulled out another piece of paper from under the table, which was a rough sketch of his blacksmith', "just on this scale, so that the whole yard could be used as a cover for the 'magic net', and the first furnaces would be built here first. You can take the materials you need to draw the circle from the treasure trove in the mountains, where they are all ready-made - although this circle is large, it is a 'basic circle', and I believe that the ready-made magic metal and the quartz sand that Knight Philip brought from Tanzania in the treasure trove will be enough for you.

"This experimental magic net is called Magic Net No. 1."

Rebecca, who had been entrusted with the task, left happily, while Hetty continued to busily guide the serfs and civilians who had just arrived at the camp to set up their tents, and for a time only Gawain and Amber were left in the tent.

"You look like you're happy?" Miss Half-Elf looked Gawain up and down, "I didn't see you so happy when I got the document from that old king. Drama Zeng Zeng Zeng ...... Is the great-granddaughter interesting? ”

Gawain: "......"

Can this thing die if it sounds good?
