"It's too hard. Alan wailed countless times when he flipped through it, no more than basic magic, basic runes and magic arrays require not only the understanding of magic or elements, but more importantly, the ability to learn language, and magic runes are already a much simplified text, but even so, a magic rune composed of only a few words may represent a variety of meanings, and the meaning may depend on the arrangement between words or sentences, and even the gaps between words will affect his meaning. It is said that the higher the text, the more refined, the magic rune requires dozens of elf words to start a magic, the high elf text may only need a few words to start, and the dragon language is even more exaggerated, a text is equal to a layer of magic array, but most of the dragon language has been lost, after all, the dragon language has always been only understood by the ancient dragons, and they are not only powerful, but also lazy, from the beginning of their creation to live in the south of the continent, until now there is no meaning to move the nest can be known, and the ancient dragon language itself has great power, so it has not been allowed by the dragons, Even if the humans or elves who have been taught because of some accidents, they can't teach it to the outside world, not because they don't want to, but because they can't, otherwise they may be eaten by the power of the dragon language.

At present, the highest level of legendary weapons are almost always composed of High Elf runes on the enchantment, so there are usually only a few runes on the legendary weapons, but the magic effect they inspire is far from being comparable to several strings of basic magic runes.

But fortunately, Alan first learned the basic machinery, and the basic machinery has the use of magic runes, in the legend of the machine country, the magic runes come from the word of the gods, and then they were directly learned and transformed by the mechanics of the magic country, and finally became the magic runes they use now.

Although there are not many things in common between the two in terms of language, they are both runes that drive magic, and the two also have places where they can be used as mutual references, and Alan has strangely discovered one thing, after he has introduced these magic runes, that is, after being able to initially understand the meaning of their representation, Alan actually uses them quite easily in practice.

The rune structure of the magic country is basically composed of a long list of runes, the main structure is only a constant magic formula, which keeps the magic rune itself from being lost and changed, and then the main magic formula, or the structure that maintains the object itself, or emits heat energy, maintains a vacuum, stimulates the wind blade, and so on. But in addition to the sturdiness or sharpness of these magic arrays themselves, because of the less magic power consumed, they can operate on their own, most of the magic styles need to be stimulated by the user with fighting energy or magic power, the disadvantage is that it cannot be used when the user does not have fighting energy or magic power, the advantage is that its lethality is determined by the holder's own ability, the higher the enchantment determines the upper limit of the lethality that the user can excite, and the general magic runes are almost impossible to use by the legendary powerhouse, most of them as long as they enter the fighting energy, the weapon will be exploded.

The runes of the mechanical country are just the opposite, each individual statement can form a utility, depending on what kind of ability the enchanter itself needs to have this weapon, through the combination of statements to achieve its effect, and most of the magic runes of the mechanical country will be attached to the effect of absorbing magic power, that is to say, most of the runes of the mechanical country are semi-automatic, which can directly stimulate the stored magic power, or input the magic power by itself, and it can be said that the use of elasticity is much higher.

Because of this, they can use these more flexible runes to form the machinery they want.

Alan looked at his first prototype, the crossbow, which added stability and automatic winding functions to the bow, and added runes to increase speed and strength on the aiming head, and the most important thing was the rune string on the arrow, which can increase stability by inputting mana, and most importantly, he can slightly adjust the direction of his shot by inputting mana after shooting, which is also the function he used when he shot for the first time.

If you compare this crossbow with the enchanted longbow of the general magic country, you can clearly see the difference, the enchanted longbow of the magic country usually only has one rune string, the effect is usually to increase the lethality of the longbow, usually speed or strength, if you talk about lethality alone, the longbow of the magic country has an absolute advantage, but the crossbow of the mechanical country is obviously more widely used.

This point can clearly see the difference in the direction of development of the two sides, the magic country's rune string is usually used in weapons, the role is to increase the ability of the strong to kill the enemy or increase the protective ability of armor.

Although the runes of the mechanical country are not very effective in terms of a single thing, Alan knows very well that the role of this small part is huge, and the various tools in the previous life, from small pistols to large space shuttles, are not composed of small components with various functions, and the computers that are known as advancing human life are still composed of various tiny circuits.

The legendary weapons of the Magic Kingdom are powerful, but they are all existences with limits, and the huge weapons connected by small rune strings are existences that can transcend the limits.

"It seems that the technology of the Machine Nation has also encountered a bottleneck. Alan touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Although this kind of weapon sounds quite powerful, there are still many problems in it, that is, power, although the runes of the mechanical country can achieve the effect of absorbing magic power by themselves, but there is a limit after all, and in the battle above the legend, those automatically absorbing magic power is a drop in the bucket, and in the end, it still has to rely on the magic crystal, or the magic power supply of the operator itself. Just like the rockets in the previous life could not be propelled by gasoline, and the development of more efficient liquid fuels was needed to solve the power problem. There are two ways to solve this problem, one is to find alternative energy sources that are large and refined enough to be useful in high-level battles, and the other is to increase the efficiency of the use of the runes themselves, such as using more refined divine or dragon languages.

While thinking about these things, Alan kept drawing the improved design of the dagger gun on the paper, either straight or curved, or staggered or parallel, and as the amount of discarded paper gradually increased, Allen's design gradually came to an end.

"Mr. Allen, what you asked for has arrived, and I've brought you dinner too. The voice of the chief maid came in from outside.

Alan opened the door, but startled the head maid outside.

Allen's face was stained with a little ink at this time, his hair was scratched like a bird's nest, his pupils were out of focus, his eyes were bloodshot, his mouth was full of words, and his face was flushed with excitement, so he directly stunned the chief maid.

"Mr. Allen, are you alright?" asked the head maid cautiously, at this time Alan is very much like a heartless madman who has been stimulated by something, it shouldn't have anything to do with Miss Hillis and Princess Anivia avoiding him, if so, the two young ladies are playing big.

「...... It's okay. Alan calmed his breathing a little, and he knew that he had inadvertently fallen into a state of overconcentration again, because when designing his new weapon, he had involuntarily used the expertise of his previous life.

In his previous life, he was a programmer who could smash one to death anywhere on the side of the road.

The programming language is to use one instruction at a time, piece together into a small circle, and then gradually expand, theoretically its effectiveness can reach almost infinite, from a small click-and-draw program, the largest to a sandbox game with a huge world view in the previous life, and even a virtual reality game close to reality. The principle of programming is actually quite close to the use of magic runes, both of which are expanded from small languages to infinite possibilities, so Alan unconsciously entered the state of concentration in his previous life in the process of designing.

"......" The head maid gave Alan a strange look, but politely didn't ask anything, but only instructed the maid to move a few boxes in, and at the same time brought in a basket of white bread and fruit, and thick soup on a large plate.

"Did you write all this? The maid looked curiously at the messy manuscripts on the table, some of which were strings of symbols for unknown reasons, some of which seemed to be slightly emanating with magical fluctuations, and more of which were diagrams of jumble straight lines and curves, some of which looked like a bag, some of which looked like a jar, and they did not know what they were used for.

"Nothing, just a little thing to learn on your own. Alan was a little embarrassed when he saw his messy table, and hurriedly put away the manuscript and cleared the table out of a place where the head maid could place dinner.

"Then I'll take my leave. Alan hurriedly cleaned up and made the head maid realize that his gaze seemed to be a bit rude, knowledge is priceless for magicians, and the manuscripts of high-level magicians are not passed on, although Mr. Allen said that it was just a game, but it was undoubtedly quite rude for him to peep at other people's manuscripts like this, and it would cause some misunderstanding.

The chief maid bowed with immaculate etiquette, and then walked out without squinting, without even glancing at the manuscripts that had fallen from the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work. Alan replied, and after she left, she began to eat a lot, even if the soup dripped to the manuscript, he didn't care, for Allen, the design drawings were already imprinted in his mind, and now he was extremely eager to start implementing it now, but unfortunately his body had begun to let out a little wail, and he had to keep it in the best condition.
