CHAPTER XXXVI

As soon as he returned to the Green Tower Manor, Roy locked himself in his room.

Ten six-star magic gold suits, although difficult to get, Tracy still put together a neat piece overnight. plus a swarthy stone pillar, which was placed in front of Roy in turn at this moment.

After peeling off, the oil lamp on the wall flashed a sparkling flower, jumping into Roy's sparkling eyes, and the glow of joy shone brightly.

The harvest in the Golden Skull Auction House this time was really too unexpected for Roy.

The price of ten sets of magic gold equipment was originally not enough after paying out the money in Malt'er's hands, but now it has not been spent in his own hands. And, with a precious totem pole!

These things, casually calculated, are enough to buy a street or a dozen large estates in the city of Muni! If you live, even if you spend every day drunk and dreaming of death, it will not be spent for decades!

And now, Tracy just gave it to herself?!

This made Roy think about it now, like a dream.

Roy took a deep breath, took out the wooden box from the spatial ring, opened it carefully, and took out the magic wand of the phoenix elf wood.

If the value of ten sets of six-star magic gold armor and totem poles is something that Tracy can bear even if she loses it, then Roy can be sure that she can't afford any loss of this wand in her hand.

And because of her own words, she easily let herself bring back the wand?!

Roy smacked his lips, not knowing whether to say that Tracy was amazing or stupid. If you were someone else, in order to get such a wand, I'm afraid you would do anything!

If you get money, you have to do things.

Roy pulled out a sticky sludge from the spatial ring.

It's called the Ooze Vine, and it's a demonic plant often used by painters. Just wrap the soft mud vine around the item you want to paint. Then remove the excess, peel it off again, and smooth it out. You can turn the surface of the uneven painting item into a flat surface.

On this plane, the painters can design and make a draft of the magic pattern. to avoid unexpected problems when painting demons.

There is only one chance to paint demons. No matter how bold Roy was, he didn't dare to do it directly on his wand. Therefore, he asked Tracy for this lump of soft mud vines.

Carefully wrap the wand, cut off the excess, and unfold the soft clay vine. Roy unleashed a small fireball that gently rolled over the soft mud vine.

With the high temperature of the flames, the soft mud vines that were still wriggling made a sizzling sound. A black slimy and soft body. Hardens quickly. The extremely fine vine fibers are intertwined, and the color gradually turns white. After a few moments, it was a thick, irregular blank sheet of paper.

That's the surface of the wand. You can't go wrong with a single penny.

Picking up a charcoal pen, Roy bit the tip of the pen and pondered.

"What kind of magic pattern can be used as a boundary to maximize the effect of the main magic pattern without causing it to get out of control?"

One magic pattern after another. In Roy's mind, one by one was ruled out.

Fengqi lightning strikes the elf wood. To the average person, it may be worthless. But for a magician, a magician, it is a rarity. Roy knew better than anyone else how rare such a wand was. Now that he has taken over this job, he must do his best.

Minutes and seconds passed, and Roy was on a rattan paper. I sketched several magic patterns with charcoal, and finally wiped them off one by one. Although these magic patterns can play the role of boundaries, they can't achieve the effect that Roy wants. If you choose any one. What a waste of this precious wand.

However, what he really wanted was only a vague consciousness in his mind, and even Roy himself didn't know what kind of effect he needed to achieve.

The Boundary Pattern is just a boundary.

Just like the boundaries of a stadium or a jousting field, its role is to match the rules of the game. And in itself, it has no effect in the slightest.

In the silence, the axe spirit and the sword spirit, one left and one right, appeared in the void beside Roy, looking at the black-haired boy who was thinking about it. The candle flame was flickering, and the distant sky was already faintly lit up with the glow of the morning light. Another day has begun, and the time for cultivation has arrived.

"What?" asked the Sword Spirit, "can't it be solved?"

Roy rubbed his messy hair, leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh of relief, shaking his head.

"I remember a long time ago, I discussed it with the Staff Spirit," Sword Spirit said, "He said something that I thought would be of some help to you. ”

"Oh?" Roy suddenly became interested.

Several major machine spirits are all cattle in their respective fields, and their strength is unfathomable. As a magician, Roy had been looking forward to being taught by the Wand. At this moment, hearing the sword spirit relay what he had said, he was naturally very interested.

"The staff spirit said that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, whether it is in the realm of magic or in the realm of knights, this is the case," Jian Ling said, "This is the law of nature. ”

Roy nodded.

"But......" Sword Spirit smiled slightly, "Nature is not static, but moving." ”

There was silence in the room.

"Gone?" Roy was a little stunned.

"No," Jian Ling said, "that's it. ”

"Athletic ......" Roy stared blankly at the white paper on the table, his eyes roaming back and forth between the three main patterns and wands, and muttering over and over again.

Looking at it, suddenly, his eyes lit up!

"I see!" Roy cried.

It turned out that I had walked into a misunderstanding from the beginning. In his own concept, the Boundary Pattern is the Boundary Pattern. Its function is to be a cage, a sideline, and only its auxiliary effect on the main magic pattern. But when you really jump out of this misunderstanding, you will find out......

Nature is in motion! All the qiē interact with each other in motion.

Whether the elements are born or restrain each other, this is the case.

So, isn't a main pattern a pattern of boundaries? As long as two of them can conform to the relationship between natural movement and the elements, who is the main pattern and who is the boundary line, can not be arbitrarily transformed according to demand?

The elements are not dead. The magic pattern should also be alive!

It's stupid to limit yourself to the boundary pattern. No wonder I always feel that something is wrong, it turns out that I haven't turned a corner!

Due to the material limitations of the wand, it can only hold three main magic patterns. Therefore, the owner will directly design the remaining positions as boundary patterns.

But that's because of the complexity of the traditional magic patterns. There's just no more room for the main crest. If it can accommodate four or five main demon patterns, I'm afraid that people won't consider the boundary magic patterns at all. It only needs to make the main magic pattern conform to the Shengke relationship of the elements.

To put it simply, the main magic pattern is the boundary magic pattern, and the boundary magic pattern is the main magic pattern!

And he obviously has a more refined life magic pattern, but he actually fell into the dilemma of other people's traditional magic patterns, and he blushed when he thought about it.

Once he figured out this joint, Roy only felt that he was cheerful in front of him.

Almost without hesitation, he chose a life magic pattern named [Golden Horned Rhino] as the boundary magic pattern between the two major magic patterns of wood and fire.

Golden-horned rhinoceros. It is a sixth-order metallic demonic beast, full of steel and iron bones, and it is rampant.

When it comes to attack power, this monster is nothing special other than a powerful dash and a horn that releases lightning. Its magic pattern is only a fourth-level magic pattern, and its power is equivalent to a fifth-level magic. Not to mention that it is engraved on a treasure like the Fengqi Elf Wood, it is engraved on the general four- to six-star rare level wand. It also looks a little chicken.

However, the golden horned rhinoceros is in the magic pattern of life. But there is an extremely powerful defensive magic pattern - Jin Ge Iron Armor!

This magic pattern can condense the gold element at the moment of activation, attaching a thick layer of spiked iron shell to the body of the golden horned rhinoceros. This layer of iron shell not only enables the golden horned rhinoceros to repeatedly resist the deadly attacks of opponents at critical moments, but also. It can also shoot iron spikes to counter enemies.

Since the gold element is the heaviest element, the magic power required to condense the Jin Ge Iron Armor is extremely high. Therefore, from the time he completed the research on the magic pattern to the present, Roy has always put it aside and never used it. The magic power of a fifth-order demon core. It can only last less than three minutes, which is too luxurious for him now.

However, it is perfect to use this magic pattern on this wand now.

The person who can use this wand is not only a god but also a sage. Not to mention the magic crystals inlaid with the wands, even their own magic power is enough to support the consumption of Jin Ge's iron armor. Moreover, no matter how high-level a magician is, his body is fragile. In the face of hand-to-hand combat, an instantaneous defensive magic pattern is definitely a talisman!

Thinking of this, Roy didn't hesitate any longer.

He first used charcoal to sketch the general lines of the magic patterns on the soft clay rattan paper, and then added more than a dozen confusing magic lines. After being sure that this magic pattern would not go beyond the limits of his wand, he took out his magic pen and began to paint the magic spell.

At the beginning, the painting was carried out on a spirit stone slab.

Roy's previous highest level of demon painting was only a fourth-level magic pattern. Although after being promoted to a magician, his magic power and perception were enough to support him to draw a fifth-level magic pattern, but this was the first time he could actually draw it by hand. I don't know the bottom of my heart. There are many detailed problems that need to be experienced and solved in practice.

Therefore, the spirit stone tablets used for the practice of the painters are the best choice.

This slate, produced in the Broken Sky Mountains, is an excellent template for painting demons. No matter how high the level of the magic pattern is, as long as it is drawn on the spirit stone tablet, even if it cannot be activated, the spirit stone plate will condense the light because of the spiritual power communication of the magic pattern. As soon as the light emerges, it usually means the success of the magic pattern.

This characteristic makes the spirit stone tablet very popular with the painters. Although its practicality is not as good as that of low-level magic plates such as magic iron and magic copper, it is widely used by magic painters because of its low price and easy purchase.

In order to accomplish this task, Roy prepared hundreds of spirit stone tablets.

Sure enough, the first time I painted the demon, there was a problem.

The level of ink is not enough!

Roy's Painted Ink is still the ordinary Painted Ink he bought when he was in Medin City, and it can only draw magic patterns below level 4. And the magic pattern above level 5 requires special ink. In addition to the strict requirements for the magic contained in the ink itself, there are also requirements for the element ratio of different magic patterns.

The Golden Horned Rhinoceros's Golden Ge Iron Armor Demon Pattern requires an extremely strong gold element. Therefore, in the modulation of ink, it is also necessary to strengthen the ratio of gold elements.

If it had been a few months ago, that alone would have stumped Roy. And now. For him, who had learned the basics of magic and accepted Williams' teachings, it was no longer a problem. He can memorize almost all the recipe charts for drawing magic ink.

Two parts of clematis are refined with heavy mercury and then dripped into melted red lead ore water. After cooling, it is added to the cabbage grass gray water in a ratio of one to seven, and finally integrated into the basic demonic preparation made of eight materials, which is the fifth-level demonic ink that focuses on the gold element.

After solving the ink problem, Roy tried again, still failing. The problem this time is that the magic pattern can't be controlled.

The structure of the fifth-level magic pattern is far more complicated than the fourth-level magic pattern. With the same spiritual power line, the fifth-level magic pattern requires twice as much spiritual power and perception as the fourth-level magic pattern. Although the magic pattern of the golden horned rhinoceros has less than twenty lines. But. I want to do it in one go, but it's not as easy as I think.

In order to overcome this difficulty, Roy spent a whole day.

To master the energy line, twenty spirit stone tablets were used. It took fifteen to conquer one circuit. It took twenty-three to conquer a three-line intersecting node, and another thirty to overcome the guide line and the functional line. More than a hundred spirit stone tablets. It wasn't until the last few that it was successful.

When Roy slowly withdrew his almost depleted spiritual power back to the sea of knowledge. It was already the evening of the second day. More than twenty prayers and endless sleepless and undivided attention on the painting demon almost exhausted all his energy.

Ate something indiscriminately and slept for two hours. Roy finally regained a little of his spirits.

He picked up his wand, closed his eyes, and simulated it in his mind a few times, after making sure it was foolproof. Only then did he lift the magic pen to mobilize the magic power and release the perception.

Like a tidal wave, the perception spread to the wand, wrapping it tightly. Every wand has every strand of it. Every detail was clearly engraved in Roy's mind, as if the wand itself was the most familiar part of his body.

Magic, as perception merges into the tip of the painting pen. With the integration of magic, the magic elements in the ink on the tip of the pen began to become active, and there was a feeling that it could not be stopped from flowing out.

Roy didn't hesitate anymore and put pen to paper.

The first one is a nine-fold spiral. It's a spirit thread. The magic of the master of the core or wand, the nine turns and a spiral of the guò line, are condensed and constrained like the sunlight under a convex mirror, or the rushing flow in a constricted channel. This line is the beginning of the Jin Ge Iron Armor Demon Pattern.

To draw this line, Roy used the shallow water brushwork, a magic pattern drawing technique taught by Williams.

The study of demonic patterns has developed to the point where it has reached the present point, although it has embarked on a completely different path from the original life pattern from the demonic pattern itself. It's more complicated, it's more incomprehensible, and it's less efficient. However, from the induction and summary of some magic pattern laws and techniques, the results are remarkable.

And this is exactly what Roy has gained the most from Williams and the Library's Magic Pattern Foundation during this time.

The law of the magic pattern is the law that the amazing masters of the magic pattern find, discern and pass through the countless real patterns from the chaos of different magic patterns. They stripped away the functionally similar lines and deconstructed them, thus establishing the modern science of the magic pattern.

Functional Lines, Gathering Lines, Auxiliary Lines...... Through the use of these basic lines, human beings have pushed the direction of the development of magic patterns in a direction that nature has not been able to produce. Those magic patterns built out of thin air, although they have not yet broken through the first-level magic patterns, are enough to make Roy awe-inspired.

Compared with the basic laws of magic patterns, in terms of magic painting skills, Roy is even more fascinated.

It was his luck to be able to discover the Devil of Life Pattern. This accidental discovery allowed him to grasp the core of the magic pattern and occupy an absolute height in the field of magic pattern. However, when it comes to painting demons, he finds that compared to a real demon pattern master, he is just a beginner apprentice.

In the past, he relied on his own pair of elemental eyes, coupled with the powerful spiritual power tempered by the impact of the energy frenzy of heaven and earth every day. It's like a child with a good talent for drawing, although he can draw well, but he can't talk about any skills at all.

It wasn't until he studied with Williams and completed the tinkering of the Titanic together that Roy realized how superficial he was in painting magic skills.

Today's development of magic patterns has pushed the art of painting magic to a very high level. For different types of magic patterns and different elements, the predecessors created countless techniques.

There are rolling stone brushwork, cascading waterfall technique, and three-stage brushwork named after the characteristics of brushwork. Five-paragraph brushwork, nine-paragraph brushwork, vertical and horizontal brushwork, positive hook method, oblique spiral method, and there are also Evans brushstrokes named after the creator of Zào. Marios' brushwork, Cornell's technique, and so on.

These brushstrokes, through guò's use and summary of the skills of painting demons, greatly reduce the difficulty of painting demons. In particular, some magic lines that are difficult to complete can be done accurately through these techniques.

This is tantamount to a huge treasure trove for Roy, who has just learned to paint demons. During the period of studying with Williams, he spent most of his time learning various magic painting techniques.

Shallow water technique. It was one of several techniques he had mastered.

This technique was created by a magician with poor perception. It is characterized by the orderly regulation of spiritual power through guò, so that the perception of the demon painter, like a clear shallow stream of water, is integrated into the brushstrokes, driving the magic power to construct the arrangement of the magic elements.

This technique can not only save mental power and amplify perception to the greatest extent, but is also suitable for painting small subtle magic patterns.

Roy's wrist flicked, the magic pen in his hand. It landed calmly on the wand.

In this moment, Roy's perception and the magic of the tip of the pen. Tightly knit together. Countless subtle elements, along with the ink, quickly gather and take shape.

One turn, two turns, golden lines flow from the nib, undulating. After nine mountain-like turns. The smoothness ends with a spiral pattern.

Almost as soon as Roy put his pen away, the magic line lit up. Even without the Elemental Eye, Roy could feel the convergence of heaven and earth's spiritual power.

Roy didn't dare to delay in the slightest, quickly put down his pen, and began to draw the second magic line.

Magic pattern drawing. It must be molded in one go. Otherwise, the individual magic lines will slide freely from the top of the mountain like a carriage that has lost its control. By the time the groom pulled the horse out, all he was faced with was a pile of debris.

The second magic line is completed, and the third one begins!

Roy was so engrossed that his eyes didn't even blink. With the consumption of mental power, his forehead and the tip of his nose were dripping with fine sweat.

Even if he used the most energy-saving shallow water technique, the complexity of the fifth-level magic pattern exceeded his load. Luckily, with the help of the Elemental Eye, he was able to see the combination of elements contained in each line most intuitively, which greatly reduced the difficulty of painting demons.

For more than thirty lines, Roy uses seven different brushstrokes.

When the last line of the magic pattern was outlined, Roy grabbed a handful of etching powder and sprinkled it on the magic pattern.

The white dust turned into a golden glow and quickly melted into the ink. There was a sizzling sound, and the surface of the wand seemed to be carved by an invisible carving knife, and like a spark, burning along the invisible gunpowder fuse, quickly engraved with a series of criss-crossing and circling magic patterns.

When the last bit of golden light sank into the tail end of the magic pattern, the whole magic pattern lit up violently.

"It worked!"

Roy was pleasantly surprised, and subconsciously injected magic power.

With a bang, the wand in his hand flowed with light, releasing an even greater force. Almost tripled Roy's magic.

The larger and more crazy spiritual power of heaven and earth converged, and the surging gold element quickly condensed and formed. A swarthy iron armor, like a large black umbrella full of spikes, suddenly opened. Levitate in front of you.

Roy was stupid.

With this magic fluctuation alone, he knew that the power of this "Jin Ge Iron Armor" magic had far surpassed that of the ordinary sixth-order Golden Horned Rhino, and only the seventh-order Golden Horned Rhino King could achieve such a Cheng dù!

Fengqi Lightning Strike Elf Wood is indeed a rare treasure! Even if it is not the most suitable golden magic for magic wands, this increase in power is unbelievably terrifying.

It took a long time for Roy to grunt and swallow a mouthful of saliva, his eyes straight.

"This thing...... Can you not pay it back?"

However, this thought only swirled in his mind, and he immediately put it aside. Although Roy felt that he was a little shameless at times, he was not so shameless after all.

What came to mind was Tracy's beautiful, expectant eyes.

After completing the boundary between the wood master magic and the fire master magic, the rest is simple. Between the Great Lightning Strike Technique and the two major elemental main magic patterns, all that was needed was two identical wind magic patterns.

This time, Roy chose the magic pattern of the fifth-order demonic beast [Phantom Eagle]. This kind of magic pattern is extremely stable, and it is suitable for use as a boundary magic pattern. In addition, if activated alone, it can also release seven [Light Feathers] as an attack method in close combat.

Compared to Jin Ge's iron armor, this fourth-level magic pattern is not difficult. However, because of the limitations of the wand, it still took Roy a long time.

By the time Tracy had finally completed all the enchanting work he had commissioned, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

At this time, the deadline for entering the camp has arrived...... I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival...... (To be continued......)
