Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 079 The Enchanter of the Magical Seal
"You're a class late!
Charlie handed over a stack of drawings on the table.
Nar laughed at him and flipped through one of them.
The course assistant on the side was a well-behaved girl, she quietly stepped forward, looked at it curiously, and her mouth immediately opened wide and couldn't close.
In the center of the white paper is a pattern composed of a line repeatedly twisted, which is the magic array of "group fear", the lines are meandering, it seems that you can see Charlie's emotions when he writes, and the ink nib of the pen shows the layering of the pattern well, and the three-dimensional image of the magic array jumps on the paper.
To be able to achieve this level is already perfect, and I am afraid that the whole class can only be barely achieved by an apprentice who is also studying fine arts, and cannot express the priority of the stroke.
How can it be so precise?
Nar was puzzled, he compared the impression in his mind with the sketch one by one, except for the difference in size, there was not the slightest mistake in the lines, the proportional scale was so perfect, if you insisted on finding shortcomings, you could only find a few places in the extremely subtle places of the astringency of the pen, there were traces of ink supplementation.
This doesn't make sense!
Nar blurted out, "Charlie, did you learn to sketch?"
If you don't admit it, that's what confuses Nar.
Charlie replied: "I have studied for a few years, but I haven't done it recently, and my hands are a little rusty. ”
In fact, Charlie's drawing skills are the effect of the dual effects of chip's super memory and flexible muscle control, and if you want to further improve, you need a lot of training until you have a deep understanding and mastery of shape, structure, features, rhythm and rhythm, find the sense of art, and get rid of the dependence on calculation and precise control.
And, due to the presence of chips, the same effect can be achieved with much less practice time than ordinary people.
Nar smiled: "I forgot that you are from Haynes, Haynes City is the art capital of the empire, it seems that Ling Zun is very strict with you!"
Hearing this evaluation, Charlie had to laugh, fortunately the teacher didn't know about his reputation in Haynes.
Nar casually flipped through the next few sketches, all of which maintained a high level, and it was obvious that each sketch was improving, and the technique was becoming more and more proficient, and the last sketch not only drew a magic array, but even tried to depict the gradient halo with fine lines of different shades, faintly having some atmosphere.
Nar took a deep breath, "Yes, you have some skills, your greatest strength is precision! I have never seen such an accurate stroke! I have been teaching for so many years, and I have never seen an apprentice who can do this level, but it is comparable to many masters who have been immersed in this industry for many years, you are young and can have such a talent, you are proud enough."
Precision is a must to become a magic seal carver.
However, your pen is still a little condensed, if you are faced with a more complex magic array, these shortcomings will be infinitely magnified, and the failure rate will be multiplied, you must pick up this skill and practice more, it is very important. ”
"Okay. Charlie nodded and asked, "Teacher, what is a Demon Seal Carver?"
Hearing this question, Nar lost his mind for a moment, he sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "The Demon Seal Carver is a profession that has changed the course of magic in the Wagland Continent, and it is the creator of miracles, it has changed the pattern of the continent, and its origin has to start from more than two hundred years ago. ”
Charlie straightened his chest and listened carefully to Nar's statement. "Two hundred years ago, the magical civilization of the Wagland continent was still in an embryonic stage, at that time, the church was the largest force on the continent, ruling everything, any secular government had to bow to the church, and the king had to be crowned by the pope before he could exercise power, that era was the peak of theocracy, and the church called it the 'glorious age'.
The background is very simple, the Wagland god system led by Kloz Glooy Feng has almost 85% of the believers on the mainland, and the major churches have emerged in an endless stream, among which the Holy Blade Church is the largest, the church not only plunders the wealth of believers, but also brutally persecutes unbelievers, and countless unjust souls who have been judged as heresies in those years.
In the Glory Days, learning magic was a taboo.
The Church fears that people have the power of magic, that absolute force will be broken by magic, and that they are madly persecuting magicians and suppressing magical institutions.
However, the evil consequences of the supremacy of theocracy gradually became prominent, and those clergy who claimed to be the spokesmen of the gods became more and more rampant, and their actions became more and more absurd, and many secular regimes also developed a disgust and resistance to theocracy.
Democracy is what the people want, and no one wants to be a puppet of the church, and no one wants to be inferior forever.
With the intervention of secular forces, magic is underground, secretly passed on in the form of master and apprentice, and the master-apprentice tradition of the Arcane Ring is to pay homage to the ancient magicians, continuing the tradition of the past.
At that time, there was no so-called elemental magic, and there was no current wide variety of equipment, magic jewelry with different functions, and alchemical potions of different natures, so how difficult was it for an apprentice to become a real magician and have a certain amount of combat power?!
Until the emergence of the first magic seal carver, history did not record who was the first demon pattern user, some skills slowly spread, and the use and transformation of tools by magic seal carvers can be seen everywhere.
Ordinary arrows are engraved with 'Burst Demon Patterns', and then filled with enchantment oil prepared with the powder of fire oil and energy crystals, and the power has skyrocketed by more than ten times.
The wizard hazel branch, engraved with 'clear magic pattern', with several magic power to guide the magic circle, and then embedded with a magic crystal of a demonic beast, is a qualified magic staff.
The energy jewel is miniature carved with the 'Torrent Magic Pattern', and with some magic circles, you can create a magic jewel that carries equipment skills.
With the presence of auxiliary tools, the strength of the mage continues to increase, and magic becomes more popular.
Demonic Seal Engraving has also spawned many classes: Enchanter, Scrollmaster, Jeweler, Weapon Blacksmith, Equipment Master, etc., and the Demonic Pattern has brought great added value to these classes.
Moreover, the magic pattern is a new system outside the belief system, disgusted by the gods, and destined not to be used by the church, so, as the magic pattern seal carver continues to penetrate into every corner of life, the power of the magician continues to grow, and the magic guild is established, and the magician group gradually has the capital to fight head-on with the church.
Until a hundred years ago, in a pinnacle battle, several legendary mages and the gods led by Kloz broke out in a shocking battle, both of them were defeated, the main god of the plane Kloz fell into a deep sleep, and several legendary mages also fell one after another.
After the war, the church had to recognize the status of the magic guild, and due to the situation, the two sides concluded a peace treaty at the top of the country, and the church ceded most of its interests, strictly bound the clergy, and abolished many unreasonable provisions.
Since then, the 'Glorious Age' has ended, the post-magical era has arrived, and you apprentices have enjoyed the fruits of the struggle of the sages, and have been born in a peaceful age, and are happy. "Master Nar sketches the outline of the centuries-old history of the Church and the Magic Guild, and explains the role of the Magical Pattern Builder in history.
Charlie was able to come into contact with some unknown truths, which were not quite the same as what he heard from Master Ron, I am afraid that under the blockade of the church, some low-level secular forces did not understand the real reason for the compromise of the church, let alone the main god Klotz who had been silent for a hundred years because of injury.
Charlie savored some of these keywords, and he asked, "What is a legendary mage?"
Hearing this name, Nar sighed and said: "The legendary mage is a powerhouse far beyond the level of a great magister, with the strength to explore the infinite starry sky, with the same power as the gods, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, and is also the ancestor of the arcane ring, and the current several mages are the disciples and heirs of the legendary mage." ”
"Has the strength of the Venerable reached the level of a legendary mage?"
Nar shook his head and said: "Far from it, there are no legendary mages in the Arcane Ring now, this is a pity, we are also very worried, if the god system of Vaglan is revived, the dark ages of hundreds of years ago are likely to come again, after all, with the support of the endless power of faith in the mortal world, it is only a matter of time before the main god recovers." ”
At this point, the topic is a little heavy, and I feel that Master Nar has a very heavy sense of responsibility.
Nall paused and said: "Since you have the talent to become a demon seal carver, then my requirements for you will be more strict, I will assign you some daily homework, a magic array diagram every day, as long as the depiction is qualified, practice the next one."
If you have more than 100 magic array diagrams, I will teach you the next step, whether it is drawing scrolls, enchanting them, or equipping them with magic pattern seals, it is very meaningful, they can not only earn points, but also facilitate your analysis of spell models, do you have no problem with that?"
Charlie smiled: "I can't ask for it!"
Seeing his positive attitude, Nar was more satisfied, and said with a smile: "It seems that Anthony has given you quite a lot of authority!
Charlie shook his head and said, "The teacher is busy with his own research, so he hasn't taught us anything, and he doesn't have time to care about us now, so he is basically in a free-range state." ”
"It's a mistake!" Nal slammed his fist on the table, slamming it, startling the assistant, "I think he's caught in a magic barrier!
After a pause, Nar asked again, "Doesn't he know that you and Peter have a life-and-death battle at the end of the year?"
"Of course I do. ”
Nar sneered: "According to what he is doing now, it is to ignore it!"
Charlie sighed: "Maybe it's because of the weakness! After all, the level is not enough to participate in the confrontation at this level." ”
Nar bowed slightly, and said angrily: "During this time, you don't want to stay on his side, come to my magic tower, I will help you tutor when I have time, if he looks for you, I will deal with him!"
Charlie felt a touch of emotion in his heart and asked, "This won't make it difficult for the teacher, will it violate the basic rules of the Arcane Ring?"
Nar muttered: "Don't worry, I won't tear my face with him, there's no need, I think he will still give me this face." ”
"Okay. ”
