Chapter 20: The Difficulty of Runes
"It's really hard to live. ”
With a long sigh, Rocky tried to calm his mood down, trying not to think about Thunderhawk City.
The current Thunder Eagle City is simply short of food and clothing, it is too difficult, and being the city lord in such a city, Rocky really can't feel the slightest happiness as a city lord.
And if you want to change the predicament of Thunder Eagle City, there is obviously only one way, and that is the magic rune! As long as Rocky learns the magic rune and makes good use of it, Thunder Eagle City will definitely change because of this.
Because the greatest use of magic runes is to provide unlimited magic energy for equipment, so that the power of magic equipment can be greatly increased, which Wensel clearly mentioned in his research notes, and he also hopes to use this method to allow people to gain the power to fight demons.
But there was one thing that Winsel didn't expect, and that was that the flying armor project he had mentioned in his last words was successfully developed shortly after his death, and he also created an air demon armor that was far more powerful than the magic equipment!
If Wensell knew about this, then he would have been extremely excited, and with his ingenuity, he would immediately realize one thing, that is, the magic rune he had invented was a perfect match for the Sky Demon Warframe!
Once the Magic Stone in the Sky Demon Warframe is replaced with a magic rune that is less restrictive but can provide more energy, then the combat ability of the Sky Demon Warframe will instantly break through the existing limit and reach a height that is unimaginable to everyone, and even open a new door for the Sky Demon Warframe to evolve again!
All of the above is the future of the magic rune, and it is also the future of Rocky, and when he masters all this, he will still worry that Thunder Eagle City will have no food for the winter?
Definitely not!
By then, he would have become one of the best men in the sky!
And in order to be able to be awesome in the future, he must work hard now, and the first step is to learn how to draw runes first.
So he quickly put his worries behind him and devoted all his mind to studying.
Calming himself down, Rocky took out a bracer from the box full of equipment, and picked up a pen.
The pen he was holding at this time was not an ordinary pen, it was an important tool for drawing magic runes, and it was a specially modified magic pen.
The function of the magic pen is to turn the magic power into a mark and leave it on the item, to put it bluntly, it is to use the magic power as ink, and only this magic pen can draw runes, and the drawn runes can be called magic runes.
After holding the magic pen, Rocky summoned his magic powers, and then slowly drew a strange symbol on the bracer.
This strange symbol is the magic rune, to be precise, it should be a first-level magic rune.
The principle of magic runes is to use symbols drawn by magic to maintain energy, and the point is that the runes must be drawn exactly in order to have an effect, otherwise they are just useless symbols.
According to the records in the research notes, the first-level magic rune is not too complicated, but even so, Rocky is still very slow to draw, not only because he is the first time to write, but also because he knows very well that he can't be in a hurry in this matter, otherwise the slightest deviation in the drawing will fail.
But the more he thought about paying attention, the more the pen in his hand disobeyed, and he inadvertently shook a little, and as a result, the runes that had been completed for most of them disappeared into nothingness in an instant.
"Hoo ......"
Seeing half of the rune on his armguard disappear, Rocky took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
After a short period of time, he was already sweating profusely, both because of the nervousness caused by drawing runes for the first time, and because drawing runes was far more difficult than he had imagined, and it was not at all as simple as he said in his notes.
As for the result of failure, it was expected, and Rocky was not discouraged at all, and it would be strange if he succeeded the first time.
Taking a deep breath and steadying his hand, he started his pen again and drew runes on the bracers......
As the minutes ticked by, Rocky's second draw quickly failed, followed by a third attempt, then a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, and a re-attempt, and a repeat of failures, as if he had fallen into a dead loop.
In one failure after another, Rocky gradually realized the difficulty of drawing runes, which was simply a hundred times more difficult than he had imagined!
Regarding the drawing method of the first-level runes, the research notes are very detailed, and it does not seem to be very difficult, and it only took Rocky a short time to memorize them all, but when he did it himself, he realized that the difficulty was completely different from what he imagined.
The successive failures even made him reopen his research notes to see if he had memorized the wrong method, and it turned out that his memory was not a problem, all because it was really difficult to draw a successful magic rune.
And it wasn't until ten in the evening that he finally stopped, not because he was tired or annoyed, but because his magic had been drained.
The magic power required to draw a first-level rune is very small, after all, the magic energy that a first-level rune can carry is also very limited, but even so, his magic power is still consumed in failure after failure, and he has no choice but to stop.
However, although the whole process was repeating failures, Rocky, who stopped, did not feel discouraged in the slightest, but was still happy.
Because when he drained all his magic power, although he still didn't succeed in drawing a rune, he was at least able to draw the rune in one go, maybe the defects in the details made the rune he drew have no effect, but it was much better than the first time he drew it, this is progress!
If there is progress, don't you hope again!
So after stopping, Rocky was satisfied with his performance today, and felt that if the momentum continued, he might soon be able to draw a successful rune.
This anticipation filled him with confidence, and then he decided that he must get a good night's sleep, recuperate his spirit while recovering his magic, and continue tomorrow.
"Lilia?"
Leaving the research room, Rocky saw Lilia standing in the doorway, which surprised him a little: "You've been waiting for me here?"
"It's not about waiting for you, it's about protecting you. ”
Glancing at him, Lilia said meticulously, "Although I am now the captain of the guards, I am still your guard. ”
"You...... Great ......."
Lilia's words made Rocky's heart warm, and it was obvious that he was not only working hard in Thunderhawk City, but also everyone else.
"Your face ...... It doesn't look good. ”
When Rocky sighed in his heart, Lilia looked at him with some concern.
In this regard, Rocky just waved his hand casually, telling her not to worry, she was just running out of magic, but Lilia nodded when she heard this: "This may be a good thing, continuous use of magic can greatly improve your control over magic, and if you continue to do this, you will soon become a second-level mage." ”
"Spare me, I just want to eat now. ”
Seriously, Lilia's problem Rocky really couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly stopped.
However, he was also really a little hungry, and he didn't feel it when he devoted all his attention to drawing runes, and as soon as he stopped, he felt hungry, after all, he hadn't eaten for a day.
"Dinner was ready for you, and I had it put in the bedroom. ”
"Great!
With a thumbs up at Lilia, Rocky rushed straight back to his bedroom.
Looking at his hungry back, Lilia sighed.
"Intimate ......"
"It's not because you have to be taken care of......
