The principle described by Pittman is actually not complicated, and the connection between the magic array and the magic array is actually a process of "frequency conversion compatibility" in Gawain's understanding.

Although the structure of the two is different, and the rune system and effective mechanism are also different, the magic array and the magic array are essentially a system that consumes magic power and produces effects (the gathering circle like the magic net actually does not produce magic power, it only concentrates and compresses the discrete magic power that originally exists in nature, and there is its own waste energy loss in the process), and such a system has the inherent possibility of connection: as long as you find a suitable transfer path.

Generally speaking, elemental runes and magic runes are incompatible with each other, and the only result of forcibly replacing each other is that the spells are out of control - those priests interpret it as the supremacy of the gods, so the power given by the gods is also higher than the spells used by mortals, and the low-level spells are naturally not compatible with the high-level spells, but in Gawain's speculation, he believes that this is just the difficulty of compatibility between the two, or "the same frequency area is too narrow".

His assumption was not unfounded, but was based on the historical facts of the transition from druid magic to magic, and the plausible conjecture that had arisen from the discovery of a hybrid circle in the ruins of the mountains—which now proved to be correct.

The power of the so-called gods is not higher than magic, but the connection between the magic runes and the elemental runes is not as easy as the connection between the elemental runes, and in the absence of theoretical guidance, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the correct arrangement and combination in the vast number of runes, so scholars believe that the two systems are impossible to be compatible.

A thousand years ago, the Magisters of Gondor seem to have gotten their hands on this "needle".

The druid's magic has been lost, and after the energy source from the god's "gift" disappears, they have to draw magic from nature to perform the former "magic spell", and the magic has become magic in the process, and the magic array has gradually become an invalid historical relic due to the failure to find a reasonable way to transform, but the "interface" found by Pitman has made it possible for the ancient abandoned magic array to operate again, and in Gawain's view, the mystery of the magic array was completely unveiled at this moment.

It is actually a magic array, and the divine rune is actually a special magic rune (independent of the elemental rune system), but its energy cannot be obtained directly from nature, but needs a layer of "filtering" or "transformation" to use, and the inverter array is the key to this transformation.

Gawain's train of thought expanded—he thought of the mysterious gods, and what role did the gods play in this process?

They...... Perhaps it was the original, and the largest inverter array.

The gods purify and extract the original basic energy of the natural world, and transform it into the so-called "superior energy" that can release divine magic, such as the power of nature, holy light, war divine power, etc., and then use strict doctrines as "authorization standards", so that those mortals who perform religious ceremonies can borrow these converted secondary energy from them, if placed on the earth, this is equivalent to an advanced country monopolizing all primary resources such as fossil fuels, solar energy, and wind energy in the world and the corresponding power generation technology, These resources are then converted into electricity and exported to a primitive country that will enter the age of electricity in one fell swoop, but as long as they can't find a way to generate electricity, then they will be stuck in this state forever, living a life of electric lights and telephones on the surface, but in fact primitive and backward.

Because they are missing the most important "conversion link" technology in the middle.

There is only one intelligent race of humans on earth, and the gap between people is limited, so this monopoly is difficult to achieve, but in this world, the gods have a power far beyond the imagination of mortals, and they have succeeded in this monopoly.

Three thousand years ago, the "White Star Fall" was the beginning of breaking the monopoly, on that day, the god of nature worshipped by the druids disappeared for some unknown reason, so the purification of the divine power of nature was lifted, and mortals gained the ability to unleash the magic of nature, and the Magus who studied the flesh and blood of the gods in the Dark Mountains a thousand years ago further broke the monopoly by using a more radical way to try to bypass the "permission lock" set by the gods, and succeeded.

However, the overall monopoly has still not been broken, the gods in the world are still there, and mortals can still only pray from the gods to get the corresponding divine power, but the key to breaking the monopoly is already in the hands of Gawain.

"Do you know what this 'inverter array' means?" Gawain's mind calmed down, and he asked as he looked at Pitman steadily.

The old druid smiled: "I know, to be honest, I'm quite proud." ”

"The churches of the world will see us as mortal enemies," Gawain said slowly, "and ninety percent of the clergy will bite us." ”

Pitman blinked, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "It's not just those priests, but the 'gods' behind them. ”

Yes, and the gods behind them.

Although the eternal stone tablet revealed the news that "the gods are dead", the fact that the divine power in the world is still irrefutable is irrefutable, and Gawain has to beware of those "gods" hidden behind the scenes, which are the resurrected gods? Or is it some kind of "usurper" who took advantage of the emptiness of the divine throne to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne? Whatever was answering the prayers of mortals, they probably wouldn't be happy to see their monopoly broken.

"Don't use the inverter array technology on any kind of magic array outside of the druid system for the time being." Gawain said solemnly.

He didn't know how bright the eyes of the gods were, and could only assume that they would jump up even if they had a leg hair plucked.

"I understand." Pitman nodded, he obviously didn't dare to mess around in this regard.

"This technique, we need to wrap it up," Gawain took a breath and continued, "This is an attempt to transform druid magic into a 'magic circle', and due to the origin of druid spells, it is natural that there will be ancient magic symbols in the magic circle, this is natural, do you understand?" ”

"Of course, I'm just a low-level druid, where would I know how to steal divine power," Pitman stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, "I just copied the ancient druid magic array from the book, and then connected the magic net to mess around, as for the so-called inverted runes...... With the minds of the vast majority of spellcasters and clergy in this era, they will only care about whether this thing can be used or not, who will care what principle it is and what it does! ”

Gawain could hear a deep disdain and even a hint of resentment towards the traditional caster in Pittman's tone, he knew that there must be a story in it, but he just looked at the other person deeply and did not pursue the question.

He nodded: "These cover-ups are just in case, as long as we do a good job of technical secrecy, we don't have to worry about the danger that will happen after these leaks, there are only three of us here today, before I think the time is ripe, this secret is only known to us, at most the core technical personnel who will be added in the future will know, understand?" ”

Pitman nodded slightly, and Amber suddenly gave Gawain a horrified look, "You're not going to kill me, are you?" ”

Gawain casually tapped on the half-elf's head: "Do you have some normal operations in your head?" ”

"Mom, killing people is not a normal operation?"

Gawain glanced at Pittman helplessly: "To be honest, how did you and your old buddy educate this girl back then?" ”

"Well, we didn't expect her to grow up like this," Pitman sighed in frustration, "Her adoptive father and I have been working hard to earn money and raise babies, we taught her to stealth, poison, dig graves, dig graves, cheat and kidnap her, and find her the best shadow mentor, we educate her so seriously, why did she grow crooked......"

Gawain: "......"

, this education can not be crooked?! Amber is still a little bit of a petty thief, which is already considered talented, right?!

“…… You have to correct your three views when you go back," Gawain waved his hand at Amber helplessly, and looked back at Pittman, "You sort out a detailed list of the new production process and the technical requirements of various equipment, and I will arrange for the industrial department to start designing the corresponding equipment and plant for you, it is now winter, and if it is completed in these months, it will be ready for use in the spring." Also, I remember you have a group of pharmacist apprentices, are they useful? ”

According to Gawain's instructions to "expand talents", Pitman recruited a group of pharmacist apprentices in the territory to teach the way of nature - the kind of talent in the story that casually pulls a child back from a poor family and is talented, and the cultivation and cultivation of talents against the sky did not happen, and not even one of the dozen apprentices had druid talents, only two or three had weak magic sensing ability, but it was difficult to even be a mage apprentice, but fortunately, the knowledge of the druids not only had spells, but also various potions, domesticated animals, The knowledge of cultivating plants can be learned by ordinary people, so these apprentices have grown up rapidly under the leadership of Pittman, and now they are doctors and pharmacists in the territory, and when needed, they will also help Pittman prepare those catalytic potions that are needed for agriculture.

"It's a good idea to lift up those little guys, but they're still working hard, and the basic alchemy skills are still good," Pitman stroked his beard, "Do you have an arrangement?" ”

"Using reaction vessels to prepare potions is a technical job, and ordinary people without training can't operate it, after the completion of the potion synthesis factory, there must be not only workers who do odd jobs, but also skilled technicians, you pick a few reliable and stable apprentices, and let them manage the factory."

Pittman was a little surprised: "I thought you were going to put me in charge of the factory. ”

"You're in charge of a higher-level R&D system, not a specific factory," Gawain glanced at Pittman, "There won't just be an apothecary factory in the realm, and the ancient magic of the druids will ...... It's not just for dispensing potions, either. ”

"It seems that you are thinking far ahead," Pitman nodded, "I see, I will pick a few suitable apprentices to train, and let them go to the steel mill and the mechanical research institute to familiarize themselves with the model of 'factory production'." ”

Gawain exhaled: "So...... With these tasks in mind, I think you should consider your next research project. ”

Pittman blinked: "What's next?" ”

"That's the study of 'why'," Gao Wen looked at the divine runes and elemental runes on the alchemy table, as well as the 'inverter array' used to act as a conversion interface, "Why can the inverter array transform the primordial magic power into the so-called 'divine power'?" Why does the Divine Array have to be powered by the converted Level 2 energy? What exactly is the difference between magic and divine power? ”

Gawain slowed his tone, but his expression was extremely serious: "Traditional spellcasters rarely pay attention to the deep principles of spells, and you were sarcastic about this just now, so we must not be like them. In particular, the Inverter Array technology - it is a grave-digging technology, a legacy of the ancient Gondor Empire, it is not some unanalyzable god-given thing, but was researched by ancient mages who are also mortals, and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to study it, so we must not let this opportunity go. ”

Pitman was stunned, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Whenever I think I'm thinking far enough, I always find that you are already standing farther away waiting for me to catch up......"

Before Gawain could reply, Amber had already spoken for him what he was about to say: "He is the wisdom of an old man. ”
