Chapter 243: Where the Value Is

It is clear that Ptolemy was a lover of peace and at the same time a pure and great scholar, and his invention was not intended from the very beginning to be a stronger tool of killing, but to a more long-term lofty ideal aimed at benefiting and promoting the progress of human society.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny, and no one will care about the ideal world he depicts, and everyone is dead on the elemental pool that is cheap but may replace dialysis crystals. With it, it may be possible to create magic items that don't require any mana injection at a very low price, rather than just omitting the elemental weaving process, but still requiring the mage to consume mana to drive it.

When he was in Tridis, Su Wen once obtained such a magic item, called the "Ring of Three Fireballs", which is a ring that can release three fireball spells, and there are three high-grade dialysis rubies on it, each ruby contains a standard fireball technique. Each time the ring is used, one ruby shatters, and when all three rubies are broken, it becomes a waste that can only be seen.

But it's such a magic item that is a bit tasteless and discarded for a slightly more powerful magician, but it is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, because the dialysis gem is so rare that even if you use it to release a fireball spell that can destroy a house, it is a violent thing. But countless mortals, rich and powerful people are eager for this thing, the reason is that it can be inspired by its own will anytime and anywhere, instead of arranging a magician to accompany him every day even when he eats and drinks Lazar. That's the beauty of magic props.

Imagine if Ptolemy's Elemental Pool replaced the Dialysis Gem and created magic items that were hundreds or thousands of times cheaper?

First of all, it will be easy for ordinary people to release elemental magic, and the fireball technique will no longer be the preserve of magicians, as long as the conditions allow, even a trained ordinary child can release the energy that destroys the world. I don't know if it will cause social unrest, but it is certain that a slightly lower-level magician will no longer become a high-ranking figure, because even if a fireball is made by an intermediate magician with all his energy, ordinary people are just a matter of some price, and sometimes the efficiency and effect are better. Of course, as long as the Wizards' Guild is not stupid to a certain extent, this situation will be well controlled.

Secondly, for magicians, they can finally be open to throwing skills. Especially those magicians who have the ability to make magic props, store the usual magic energy in the form of making magic props, and then throw it all out during the battle without considering the consumption of magic power, which is a geometric improvement in combat effectiveness.

Even if Ptolemy's invention is still just a prototype, and the current elemental pool can only calculate the simplest elements, it may be difficult to achieve the level of a fireball ring in a short period of time, but if time is given, the above situation is by no means a fantasy. I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Church of Light did not hesitate to release the Angel of Judgment to attack Ptolemy and put pressure on the Wizards Association, if it is really allowed to continue, it may not be long before the Church's slight advantage over the Magicians Association in force will be wiped out.

In this way, the church's action is not untargeted, and they have every reason to be anxious about it, and when the combat power of the top level is almost the same, the gap between the ordinary combat power of the lower level becomes especially important. However, the source of the Holy See's power is not compatible with the mage's technology tree, and even if it is imitated, the magic pool cannot become the holy light they rely on, and it is as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

And Su Wen now has also started the idea of Ptolemy's research, but his goal is naturally not a cheap magic prop in the eyes of others, but intends to combine the knowledge of firearms he knows with it, so as to avoid the serious shortcomings of gunpowder in this world and form a new type of kinetic weapon that is localized.

If it does, then it will be much more efficient and cheaper than the pure elemental catharsis of fireball...... Tools for killing.

Just thinking about it, Su Wen was excited.

In fact, the easiest way for Su Wen to know for a long time was to use magic energy puree to directly replace gunpowder, so that the bullet produced seemed to be no different from gunpowder filling, but in fact, it was powered by magic energy, and the elemental pool analyzed and compiled it into or elemental burst effect, which could produce excitation.

This method is very feasible, but the only thing missing is the elemental pool, and Ptolemy did not reveal this thing to Su Wen, who now has only the chip that Ptolemy implanted in his arm. Although the chip seems to be much more advanced than the elemental pool, the more advanced it is, the more difficult it is to know the principle, if Su Wen makes a kinetic rifle that only he can use, then what is the point......

Therefore, it is imperative to deceive and cough from Ptolemy and get the elemental pool, and only if he teaches this thing to himself, will his own ideas have room for action.

......

Unlike yesterday's magnificence, today's lesson was just a normal lesson, and there were no events worth mentioning. A morning passed quickly, Hua Jue happily announced the end of class, and it was only at this time that Su Wen noticed that some students were holding each other when they came out of the classroom, and immediately thought of something-I was still wondering how yesterday's scattered class turned into a cohesive collective, everyone sat in a group and talked and laughed, it turned out that they were all trained lame.

However, just as Su Wen was about to leave and go back to see if his change of dormitory had been arranged, Hua Jue stopped him who had just stepped out of the classroom with his front foot.

"Su Wen, come here. ”

She seemed to have a somewhat muffled voice, looking mysterious.

Su Wen had actually guessed what was going on, such a big thing happened last night, and Hua Jue could know from her words and deeds that she definitely had a personal relationship with Ptolemy or Calitto, otherwise she wouldn't know so much about herself. Now she shouted to herself, it couldn't be for anything else.

But out of politeness, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Hua Jue quickly took out a magic rune stone for communication from his pocket and handed it to Su Wen.

"It's ......"

"Kalito has an urgent matter to contact you, the old communication prop should never be used again, you must be in a place of absolute safety to open it. ”

“......”

Su Wen was silent for a moment.

"Is it that serious?"

Could it be that the Wizards' Guild did not intend to support Ptolemy?

Hua Jue frowned, his expression serious: "I don't know, but when Kalito explained this to me, I felt very serious, you had better contact him as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I will, goodbye then. ”
