"Has the research of runes progressed?" Fei Cai asked.

He was watching the construction team's training at the altar when Biluo suddenly came over and said that the rune research needed to be reported.

"There is progress, but the expectations are different...... Biluo replied.

"Oh, tell me?"

"We originally wanted to research a new rune, but we failed several times in a row, and in our spare time, Yan Li changed the rune that was written at the beginning, and it was just a random try, and the result was that the effect was improved several times more than before. Biluo said.

"Interesting...... Let's go over and have a look!" Fei Cai finished speaking, and beckoned Biluo to walk towards the village.

Next to Yanli's residence, there is a clearing where many stones are piled up. As the two walked over, Yan Li was meditating on a stone slab engraved with runes.

"How's it going, have you found anything?" Fei Cai asked bluntly as soon as he walked over.

Yan Li didn't react for a while, until he turned his head, only to find that Fei Cai had come to his side, and he was immediately startled: "God, God envoy, I don't know you're here, please forgive ...... sin."

So saying, he will fall on his knees. Fei Cai hurriedly stopped and said, "Now that you are a wizard, your status is different, you don't have to kneel when you see me." ”

"Uh...... Yes, sir. "Yan Li is obviously not used to his current identity,

"Is there any progress on the runes?" Fei Cai asked again.

"Back to the ......"

Yan Li told the research process of this period of time one by one, and after listening to it, Fei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems that it is not as easy as imagined to develop a new rune, for example, what has been discovered now is a rune that can enhance gravity, but in the past few days, when Yanli wanted to research a rune that could exert repulsion on the outside world, it was repeatedly defeated.

Even though he had successfully understood Newton's three laws and the law of gravitation under Biluo's teaching, it was not as easy as he imagined to transform this knowledge into runes.

On the contrary, the gravitational rune was improved, and it was easy to achieve results, and according to the rock test, the effect of this rune has increased by at least five times.

"This is your improved gravitational rune?" Fei Cai asked, pointing to one of the runes on the stone slab.

"Yes, sir. Yan Li replied.

Fei Cai took a closer look at it, and compared with the previous one, the lines of this rune were smoother, and the overall structure was more balanced, with a wisp of indescribable charm in it.

"Can you tell me how you improved it?" he asked.

"This ......" Yan Li scratched his head, with a look of shame on his face, and said: "Don't hide it, my lord, after I learned the four oracles with the shrine maiden, I thought back to the rune I carved for the first time, and suddenly felt that there were many unsightly places, so I carved another one, and after carving, I found that the effect was much stronger......"

After hearing this, Fei Cai couldn't help but smile a little bitterly: "That's it?"

"Yes......"

"Hmm...... To put it simply, the more beautiful you carve it, the stronger it becomes?"

"Lord Hui, that's exactly the case. ”

"So, what do you think it looks good or not?" Fei Cai asked again.

Yan Li thought for a while, and finally said uncertainly: "The more the lines of the rune match the meaning of the oracle, the better I think it looks......"

"Interesting......" Fei Cai listened and couldn't help muttering. It seems that in this world, there is really some deep connection between runes and physical laws. But what kind of connection is exact, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find out in a short time.

He suddenly had a question: "If someone other than you carved this rune, would it have an effect?"

Biluo on the side replied: "Two days ago, I asked Yan Li to teach me a little carving technique, and tried to carve an identical rune, but it didn't have any effect. ”

"I see. Fei Cai nodded, it seems that the reason why the rune can work is mostly because the wizard used his own power to shape a certain structure when he carved it.

This kind of power, like the power of the witch, is also obtained by understanding the laws of nature, but the power of the wizard does not have a direct effect, but is used to "store" the corresponding "power of the witch god".

Thinking of this, he already had a plan in his heart: "Yanli, you need to further deepen your understanding of the four oracles. Biluo, you find more topics for Yanli to do. Then, try to see if you can carve more powerful runes. ”

"Yes!" the two replied in unison.

......

Five days later.

"In the past, when the two stockades fought each other, they all went down like this first?" Fei Cai asked.

On this day, Biluo came over to report to Fei Cai again, but instead of talking about runes, he handed over a war letter to him.

This is a war letter sent by Jinglei Village. The letter said that several months had passed since the last "Great Witch" had not arbitrated the dispute between the two villages, so Jinglei Village was ready to compete with Biluo Village in the same place three days later, and the winner would get the disputed piece of farmland.

Of course, Jinglei Village didn't know that the "big witch" had already come to Biluo Village at that time, and he had become the leader of Biluo Village.

"Lord Hui, that's exactly the case. Biluo then explained the practice of warfare among the Wu clan, and after listening to it, Fei Cai was roughly clear.

"This sounds a bit like the popular battle of gentlemen in the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

According to Biluo, when two villages fight each other, they must first issue a war letter, and under normal circumstances, the witch who receives the war letter will respond to the battle.

In the final analysis, this is all because of the cohesion of the village, all relying on the prestige of the shrine maiden. And whether it is an undeclared war, or to avoid the war, it will seriously affect the prestige of the witch, if this situation really occurs, I am afraid that most of the villagers in the village will scatter and switch to other villages, and before the village, it will exist in name only.

Therefore, even if you lose, you must declare war and respond to it with dignity. What's more, judging from the level of engagement between the stockades, a few people can't die in a battle.

"Then reply to Jinglei Village, we should fight!" Fei Cai thought for a while and said to Biluo. "By the way, how are the runes being studied?"

Biluo smiled and replied, "The effect has been enhanced a lot. The one that was carved out recently, when we were experimenting, we sucked up all the small rocks and sand on the ground, and it turned into a big sand ball!"

"So?!" Fei Cai's heart suddenly moved, "Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

......

"This ...... The effect is really good!"

In front of him, a small stone slab engraved with runes continued to absorb the sand and gravel on the ground, like a snowball, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a half-human-high sand ball.

Fei Cai looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt that the battle plan could be adjusted a little more.
