Long ago, mages discovered that the elements were affected by special objects, such as the fur of magical beasts, strange minerals, magical plants, and so on, and it was these discoveries that led to the creation of a special spell-casting technique: the magic circle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Using different materials, some of which can affect the gathering of elements, and some of which can limit the movement of elements, and if these materials are arranged according to certain rules, the elements will obediently move on the established "path", just like building a house, so that the elements can be gathered and arranged according to their own ideas, and assist the mage to release powerful magic far beyond his own ability.

The arrangement of the circle is cumbersome and expensive, far less simple and practical than the spell, but it is also surprisingly powerful. A mage can even unleash a magic like a "great tsunami" (Chapter 29) with a complex magic circle, and of course, the amount of money spent is astronomical.

In general, the materials that can form a circle are very rare and difficult to obtain, which leads to the rise of various circle materials. At the same time, the characteristics of these circle materials are also irregular, and mages can only find new materials through the most primitive and wasteful methods and a large number of experiments. Just as Thomas Edison invented the electric light, "more than 1,500 materials were found to be unsuitable for the filament of the electric lamp."

to find the most suitable material. The same is true for the search for the materials of the circle.

However, after searching for so many years and experimenting with countless materials, they found materials that could affect the aggregation of elements, materials that could completely isolate the elements (such as metals that could hold yuanstones), but they never found materials with elemental conduction properties, so much so that many mages believed that there was no substance in nature that could conduct elements.

But today, Al discovered this substance with his own hands, and it can be said that he has opened a new chapter in the development of magic alone, how can he not be excited? He even has the feeling that he has made history.

"So ......," Al stared at the pure white stone in front of him, a little hesitant, "It's too shameful to call El Stone, forget it." Edward's Stone doesn't sound good, and we're not the only ones who call Edward. Iron Thorn Stone? It's still weird. In the end, he still made a final decision: "Let's call it snow quart." ”

He doesn't need to be remembered in history by means of his name, if he is only remembered as a discoverer of the material of the magic circle in the historical record, rather than a person, his struggle and ideals are too ridiculous and too failed.

If he can't stand out in the long river of history, then let him be buried in this long river forever.

In this way, while conducting various experimental tests, Al knocked on Gruchy's side, and learned that the orcs did not know the role of snow crystal. If you think about it, the only people who can cast magic are those "children of heaven and earth", and they rely entirely on instinct to cast spells, not elemental perception, and it is only natural that they cannot discover the strangeness of snow crystal.

In addition, Al also learned that the mining of snow crystals is still very difficult, these snow crystals are distributed in the caves deep in the Weeping Mountains, and if you want to mine them, you must not only face the threat of magical beasts, but also know the terrain well, so that you will not get lost in the mountains. Orcs only chase their prey, and only bring some back when they go deeper into the cave.

These days in the orc tribe, El is extremely bored and thinks about a lot of things. The discovery of snow quartz made Al really re-examine the land of snow, and he found that it was not poor and white in the eyes of orcs and humans, but had its own unique value, just like a pearl hidden in the depths of the sea, but its brilliance was completely obscured.

And the fate of the orcs, is it really just to see them die? The orc elder did not restrict him, and in the past few days, Al can be said to have visited the orc camp, and even moved with them once, but unfortunately there is no trace of the goat herd in the new home chosen by the orcs. Although they didn't say anything, their gloomy faces and anxious eyes still shrouded the whole tribe in ominousness, and the mountain rain was about to come.

Al didn't have to guess to know that the orcs were running out of food, the orcs couldn't hunt enough food after the beast tide, and it looked like the previous invasion had almost depleted their food reserves. Al pondered for a few days, and also figured out the thoughts of the orc elder, he just wanted Al to see the current miserable situation of the orcs, and try to impress Al's compassion, hoping that Al could pull the orcs at the moment of life and death of the orc clan.

In the end, there is also some hesitation in the heart of whether to help the orc Al, the hatred of the little orcs for humans and the fact that the orcs will become the puppets of the black magicians in the future, which means that saving the orcs may be to raise tigers.

In what name would it be to save him, El would not be naïve enough to think that by revealing the origin of the orcs, the people of the West would be overflowing with sympathy and forget their blood feud with the orcs. In their eyes, the dead orcs are good orcs.

Let's not talk about the origin of the orcs, what should the orcs do if they destroy these specialties on the snowfield, not to mention the human race, except for the orcs, who can survive in this snowfield except for orcs who are born with strong physique and are not afraid of the cold.

And Al knows that the orcs will never sit still, and they will definitely invade if they can't survive. At that time, the border will be a bloody storm again, with one battle after another, blood flowing and pestles, and corpses all over the field. Even he is a little dangerous, and now the orc elder still can't figure out his identity, and when the time comes, he will jump off the wall in a hurry, and it is possible to leave Medea and himself with great vitality. So I had to deal with it carefully.

Just like that, I thought in my heart, and the days passed day by day. Al was counting the days in the tent with his fingers, and the felt curtain of the tent was lifted, and Al looked up to see who it was not Medea who had entered.

"Teacher, you're here. Al stood up and shouted in surprise. This woman is very annoying when she is dangling in front of her every day, but she misses it very much after not seeing her for a few days.

I wanted to talk to her, and by the way, I teased each other a few more words. However, when he saw the orc elder following Medea, Al also dismissed the idea of gossiping, and it seemed that the real show was about to begin.

Al bowed to the elder, "The deal seems to be done, then I'll leave, and I'll be in the camp for a few days, thank you for taking care of me." ”

"It's not easy to come here, since you're already here, let's stay for a few more days. The elder replied.

"I've already eaten all the food when I came, and if I stay in the tribe for another two days, won't the Elder be afraid that I'll eat the orcs poor?" Al asked with a smirk.

For a while, it was a little cold in the tent.
