Chapter 33: Runic Creatures I
It's just that the method of making rune puppets doesn't have it at all.
On the contrary, there are some refining methods of totem spirits, but those that rely on crude methods such as blood sacrifices to attract some ghosts and earthbound spirits to attach to the physical magic circle, and form relatively powerful spirits after devouring each other, but these spirits are often confused and not easy to control.
It is not of much use to directly use relatively weak animal spirits, so some Karui tribes worship the spirits of magic beasts.
At the beginning, he had a whimsical idea to complete this puppet method through other methods, to create a powerful combat power for himself, or to have a higher wisdom assistant, but he never found a suitable way.
In the end, he found another way, thinking of using other animal spirits and spell energy to stimulate the mutation of animal flesh, and the ape demon pet - "Thumb" was his most important first test object.
Master Chen took this opportunity to analyze the basic principles of Transfiguration, and instead introduced a more free and powerful strange method than ordinary spells such as [Transformation Technique] and [Transfiguration] - "Body Transfiguration".
But these creations have always been mortal creatures of the flesh, except for using the authority they have given them to stimulate and control the rune magic weapons they have refined, they themselves do not have much combat power, and even if they stimulate the giant transformation technique, they are only equivalent to the combat power of two or three ordinary adults.
I didn't expect to encounter something to learn from in this academy!
If you use this as a template, you can then connect your own understanding of living organisms.
Maybe they could complement each other and create a new type of runic creature that could use supernatural powers or spell-like powers?
Just as it's hard to create a Transfiguration spell out of thin air, if you have a ready-made spell of the same type, you can create your own new spell in the shortest and least effortless way by researching, imitating, and reorganizing runes.
Of course, as before, the ideal is always good, and the reality is always cruel.
After some careful observation, Chen Xuyuan found that although the two can be connected almost perfectly in some places, they are not connected in a few key parts!
It's like most of the two parts can be sewn together tightly and seamlessly, but there are one or two gaps missing in a few places!
After all, it is easier to have a spell on a dead thing, like drawing a pattern on paper, but a perfect spell on a living thing, that is, a tattoo, requires a certain amount of skill and professional tools.
It seems that it takes a medium technology to do it.
But where do you go to find this "cohesive" knowledge?
Naturally, I can only find Professor Hamlet, a collaborator, and find a way to get it from him~
......
The sturdy and neat spacious and luxurious study room is neat and comfortable.
The dozens of spell lamps above the head formed a gorgeous chandelier, which illuminated the expressions of all the people in the room.
Even the thick cover books on the shelves, which were heavier than tombstones, reflected a dazzling halo of light on the gilded threads.
And Hamlet's face is even more ruddy.
He tried to keep his serious appearance and teach Chen Xuyuan about witchcraft, but he couldn't help but stop and smirk.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask Chen Xuyuan, "Pastor Elilu, can you teach me a few more 'Seventy-two Styles of Joyful Meditation'?"
In the past few days, he has been "served" very comfortably by the schoolgirl Trathia who has been fostered every time.
Although this woman is not only charming, but also tall and slender waist, even those long legs can be carefully played with for a few years.
Chen Xuyuan replied: "This is not very good, you are old after all, I am afraid that you will be tired~ I will not be able to get up the next day to teach students~~"
Hamlet hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will last a long time!"
Chen Xuyuan thought secretly: "As long as it's a man, he won't say that he can't do it!"
However, this kind of thing cannot be persuaded either.
He had no choice but to say, "It's okay to teach, but I'd like to learn how to make rune golems." ”
Hamlet wondered, "Do you want to make a rune minion of your own? Yes, but this is for an additional tuition." ”
Chen Xuyuan screamed: "You are really stingy, I have taught you a lot of 'health care knowledge', and I have never asked you for money." You're fine, just ask for money for a random question. If that's the case, then I'll ask you for some knowledge money first. ”
Hamlet is not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and immediately responds with a smile: "That's not how business works." You didn't ask for money in the first place, it was just friends helping each other, how can there be any reason to ask for money afterwards?"
Chen Xuyuan also smiled: "Since I helped you once as a friend, then you should also help me once as a friend." I don't need you to talk too much, just tell me how to make it based on the basic principles. ”
Hamlet thinks about it and agrees.
The method of making rune golems has long been a secret, as long as you have enough ability and money, you can make them.
It's just that for a beginner, you need to study a lot of materials, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Telling Chen Xuyuan this knowledge directly is not a "secret", it just speeds up his mastery of this skill.
After some exchanges.
Chen Xuyuan got up and left, returning to Caterina's widow's mansion in the outer city.
A hundred feet away from the mansion, he could smell the scent.
In his spare time, Chen Xuyuan also taught Mrs. Caterina a lot of cooking skills, and occasionally improved everyone's food standards.
Today's stew at home is "Buddha jumping over the wall".
Not only is the procedure complicated to make this dish, but the process of making this dish is very complicated.
There are more than a dozen kinds of raw materials for Buddha jumping over the wall, such as abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak skin glue, oyster mushroom, hoof tendon, flower mushroom, cuttlefish, scallop, quail eggs, etc.
Of course, it is also possible to substitute ingredients with similar tastes and cook different flavors.
In order to fully reflect the taste and characteristics of each ingredient, it is necessary to make these more than a dozen ingredients into a dish independently, and then gather them together, add stock and seasoning wine, and simmer for more than ten hours, so that the taste can truly achieve mellow characteristics!
Madame Caterina once boasted to the cook Skema: "If you learn how to make this dish, you will never have to worry about running out of food in your life!" In the future, there will definitely be countless nobles who will ask you to be a cook.
When the middle-aged cook and maid heard Chen Xuyuan's voice, she hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and greeted her very respectfully, "You're back." Miss Sigrid said that she was tired of practicing martial arts in the past few days, so she went to the suburbs to relax. ”
In the past few days, she has almost regarded Chen Xuyuan as her cooking teacher, and her attitude is more attentive than that of her hostess.
Chen Xuyuan didn't have the heart to care about the Siggri bird now, so he instructed the middle-aged servant woman: "I'm going to go to the laboratory now to concentrate on research, and I'll let 'Thumb' retreat with me later." You tell the others not to bother me. And this study may take a long time, don't be surprised if I don't come out for a few days and nights, just stuff the dinner plate into the food delivery port at the door on time!"
