The taste of the infernal soup is really strong, and this is the conclusion that Gustav came to after making a certain impression on the demon dynasty Gustan through the food. At the Sunday night dinner, Gustav, as a man, took all the expenses with great grace. With some tips left for the waiter, Gustav left a gold carin, a price that seemed extravagant. It's just that Nata and Catherine have helped Gustav in many things, and these things can't be measured by money alone.

Tuesday would be the Day of Order, and the Igbre instructors picked up a bit on Monday. The first Study Group discussion, scheduled for Tuesday, was cancelled due to Order Day.

But that doesn't mean Gustav can already spend his holidays in peace.

On Monday night, he must head to the Sword & Sorcery Enchantment Workshop to begin his first formal studies as an Enchanter.

Lucia Marcus, as the current de facto controlling figure of the Enchantment Workshop, although she has little respect for Lento Marcus, is able to be serious and careful in the actual control of the Workshop.

Gustav was joined by several Arcanists who had chosen to become enchanters after coming out of Igobray.

"Before seven o'clock, there is still an hour to go, and I will be in charge of your study plan. Lucia Marcus handed out the paper in her hand. "Marcus's enchantment is genre-friendly in the 'Laurent' style, and in order to achieve the fastest activation speed of enchantment, the arcane model is generally etched into the source layer of the equipment as completely and calmly as possible. ”

"But times have changed. Lucia emphasized: "In contrast to the 'neo-modernism', which placed more emphasis on the vertical superposition of the entire etching layer, the Laurentians were an etching style that sacrificed high density. Once the 'Neo-Modernists' have resolved the disadvantages of equipment enchantment loading speed and the chance of distortion of arcane model expression, the only tomorrow for the Laurenttian Etching faction is the end of the day. Although the Marcus family had long been a staunch supporter of the Laurents, it seemed that change was necessary. ”

The 'New Modernists' on the enchantment etching and the older 'Modernists' all require the use of the enchanter's own control to etch the real Arcane model layer by layer in a three-dimensional source energy layer on a very small plane. The only difference between the two is that the neo-modernists used the standard arcane model as the only criterion for etching, while the older modernists did not have any more requirements for the design of the arcane model. The classical enchantment school used by the Marcus family for generations required the ethereal model to be calmly etched into a large area of source energy throughout the equipment. In this case, the enchanted equipment produced by the Laurent method requires less energy from the enchanter, and when the enchantment is activated at the same time, because it is activated at the same level, the enchantment is activated very quickly.

However, Lucia has been following the latest progress of the neo-modernists, who are now proposing the theory of 'multi-layer model parallel structure', which can drive the activation effect of the Olympiad model with different layers at the same time. As a result of this achievement, the traditional Laurent's enchantment speed advantage has disappeared. Once the neo-modernist enchantment etching technique has resolved some of the distortions caused by the high density of etching on the vertical complex plane, the entire enchantment industry will undoubtedly consider the neo-modernist method as the first or even the only option.

"I'm sorry, future enchanters, but you must start learning the new modernist techniques that require a higher level of mental intensity and refinement from now on. And I also believe that once I have mastered the techniques of the neo-modernists, it will be easier to carry out the regular etching of the Laurent classicists. Lucia continued: "What is included is a comprehensive overview of the neo-modernism, as well as some taboos that should be avoided in the conventional form. After fifteen minutes of browsing, everyone had to do a practical training. ”

According to Gustav's understanding, neo-modernism is to etch a standard arcane model in its entirety in a certain area of equipment, but the arcane model is layered and faceted, and it takes a lot of energy and attention to complete so many layers of etching in a very small thickness.

This method of operation is not new, and it was used as a charmer's trick at the height of the Laurent's popularity.

The standard arcane models of levels 1 to 5 are all hierarchical standards of thirty-two layers, and the difference between the different levels of arcane models is that the amount of information on each layer is doubled. In a small area, it is difficult to complete 32 layers of etching on an area with very small thickness, which can be imagined in terms of operational accuracy. Therefore, in the operating standards of the neo-modernist school, there are three operating standards: "fully etched", "semi-etched", and "quarter-etched".

Full etching, of course, is the most accurate standard for the enchanter, and it requires thirty-two layers of vertical model layout in one go. Half etching halved, serial double sixteen-layer parallel structure, source-energy interaction through connecting layers. The quarter etch is halved again on top of the semi-etching, and in the case of the Level 1 Arcane Standard Model, four eight-layer juxtaposed structures are allowed.

After browsing the information in hand, Lucia led the group of newcomers to the spare room next to the etching room without stopping.

"Start with a quarter etching, which is the lowest level of operating standards. Lucia distributed the corrosive ray spray guns for etching one by one, and said as she distributed, "The subject of tonight's exercise is to etch the first eight layers of the standard arcane model of 'Evil Protection' on the shield in front of you. The etched area has been marked with a red line. ”

Gustav stood in front of the console and looked at the one-handed shield in front of him.

Lucia Marcus indicates that the operating range is in the upper right quarter of the one-handed shield, and the shield face, while not fully flat, is one of the easiest types of equipment surfaces to etch.

"Bring a special eyepiece, the eyepiece will tell you what thickness you are allowed to work with, you are all using the neo-modernist technique for the first time, I won't be too demanding, so aim for more than four layers of etching on top of this thickness. ”

The trainees all wore eyepieces, as did Gustav.

As the corrosive light lance is opened, the washed rays are emitted, and with the help of a special eyepiece, the color of this light is obvious.

After each layer is etched, if you continue to operate with the same set of equipment, it will inevitably cause image overlap and affect the operation. So, after that, Gustav had to change to another set of special eyepieces and spray guns to receive and use light in a different frequency band.
