Chapter 33: The Soul Core
After finding the book he wanted, Xia Lin sat on a chair and opened "The Basics of Constructing the Golem" and began to read it.
"Constructing the Golem Foundation" is actually not basic, even if Xia Lin's brain in this life is more than a little better than in his previous life, he has a hard time understanding the content inside.
However, if you ignore the details, it is easy to understand the general principle.
In general, the Golem is a humanoid or other shape of a mage tool made from soul cores, rune arrays, and basic materials, and is usually used by mages to defend themselves, guard their laboratories, and fight their enemies.
The principle of manufacturing the most critical soul core is very simple, that is, the mage injects spiritual power into the high-quality transparent magic crystal or diamond, and waits until the spiritual power is completely filled with the magic crystal or diamond.
Then, by channeling the spiritual power inside the core, layering it to form a special type of rune, so that the spiritual power in the crystal or diamond gives birth to an artificial soul with basic wisdom, and such a magic crystal or diamond is the completed soul core.
Placing such a soul core inside the golem and connecting it through the magic circle can drive the huge construction of the golem, and at the same time, the spiritual power of the mage can also give various instructions to the golem, and if necessary, it can also take over the soul core to refine the control of the golem.
Xia Lin was very interested in this soul crystal, he felt that this was simply a magical version of artificial intelligence, and that this technology had matured in the long years of research of mages.
Xia Lin could think of a lot of uses other than the Golem just by thinking about it.
It's just that the runes of the soul crystallization look very complicated, and Xia Lin feels that he will definitely not be able to figure it out for a while.
But it doesn't matter, as a partner of the academy, although he can't enter the library, he should still be able to borrow these books if he wants to.
Speaking of which, even if he is from the Imperial Daughter, he can't get permission, and he can circumvent the rules of the academy in this way.
It's just that the books that can be borrowed from the library are certainly not very precious and rare, such as those lone mages who study the Codex, and they will definitely not allow borrowers to lend out of the library.
Just when Xia Lin was immersed in studying, a roar suddenly came from inside the research room, which made him suddenly feel excited:
"Maltz! As long as I'm the head of the Royal Academy of Magic, I will never allow you to do that kind of thing! Even if the source of the totem of the natives is small, you have to wait for me! If the military comes to urge you, then let them come to me! ”
Then the door of the internal room of the research room was opened, Dean Manan walked out angrily, and when he saw Xia Lin, he stopped for a while, his expression eased a little, but he still said in a tone that suppressed his anger:
"Charlin, I had a little argument with Professor Maltz, don't worry, you just stay here until you want to stay, if Professor Maltz doesn't allow you to stay any longer, you just say that's what I said!"
"Your Excellency, I want to borrow these three books to go back to study, is it okay?"
Facing Dean Manan who was furious, Xia Lin carefully picked up the three books he wanted to borrow and asked.
""Constructing Golem Basics", "Constructing Golem Runes", "Soul Core Rune Array"? It seems that you are really interested in the Golem, so in that case, then borrow it! But remember to return it after reading it! ”
Dean Manan finished speaking with a cold expression, and without waiting for Xia Lin to answer, he performed his own flying technique, flew outside from the window and disappeared quickly.
After a while, Professor Maltz, who looked gloomy, also came out of the room, he obviously heard Dean Manan's words before leaving, but looked at Xia Lin and Wyatt with a calm face, and said:
"I'm going to go out, you can read it, you can borrow those three books, but don't mess with my stuff anymore! Otherwise, get ready to find the dean to lift the curse! ”
Professor Maltz then snorted with an unhappy face, flicked his hand, and flew out of the lab with a flick of his hand.
In the research room, only Xia Lin and Wyatt were left looking at each other, Xia Lin couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, could it be said that the spiritual power and magic power of flying art consumed so little? Why do these four-ring and five-ring mages use spells as a means of transportation?
Xia Lin was actually quite curious about the dispute between Dean Manan and Professor Maltz, but neither of these two people could afford to provoke, so he could only bury this curiosity deep in his heart.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, I spent some time in Professor Maltz's laboratory studying the golems and their parts.
By dusk, Charling had Wyatt pack the three books in a small wooden box and leave Professor Maltz's classroom.
Back in the laboratory, Xia Lin didn't even take a shower, and directly performed a cleaning technique on himself, then took out a shimmering rune plate made by Harper, lit the rune disk with a magic crystal, and read the book with the same light as the incandescent lamp.
Back at his home turf, with all kinds of materials and tools at hand, Xia Lin's analysis speed of the runes used in the soul core suddenly accelerated, but it was impossible for him to finish digesting all three books in a while.
It was estimated that it was about early in the morning, and in order to ensure the energy of the next day, Xia Lin began to meditate very modestly.
For three days in a row, Xia Lin almost forgot all mundane things and completely immersed himself in the contents of these three books.
For one of the most critical runes that constituted the core of the Golem's soul, Xia Lin also succeeded by chance once in many attempts.
After all, although the number of spiritual power nodes of runes varies, they are generally between 10 and 30 nodes, so the difficulty of building runes is not much different.
Through this rune he constructed, Xia Lin personally measured all the coordinates of its twenty-six spiritual power nodes for the first time, and used this rune for the first time to test whether his research route was correct.
The answer is naturally that the effect is remarkable, with the node coordinates, although the mage still needs to practice many times to deepen his memory, but it is faster than the previous rune disk to completely rely on feelings to establish runes.
However, after half a day, Xia Lin's success rate in constructing runes increased to thirty percent.
If this continues, cracking all the runes in the soul core will not be an unattainable goal for Xia Lin.
Seeing that there was hope for his self-made soul core, Xia Lin prepared a magic crystal ball worth 5 gold lundes for Harper and himself, and injected the surplus spiritual power into it every day, preparing to use it to make his own soul core in the future.
However, the time to be able to study with peace of mind is always short-lived, and before Ellen sent someone to inform Xia Lin of the fundraising, a magnificent carriage decorated with the sun and dragon crest came outside Xia Lin's Karl laboratory.
In the Empire, the only people who can use the Sun and Dragon Emblems are the royal family and the Grand Dukes of various realms with royal blood, and whoever comes is Xia Lin naturally has points.
"Sir Charleen Carr, this is an invitation from Her Royal Highness Queen Dorothea, and Her Royal Highness Dorothea wants to invite you to Afternoon Tea at the Palace of Antioch tomorrow, and she is very interested in your new desserts."
Dressed in pure black and with gold threads sewn on the corners, the visitor handed over an invitation from the imperial maid in a friendly manner.
"I see! Thank you for the invitation of Her Royal Highness, I will not disappoint her! ”
Xia Lin accepted the invitation letter clearly, and quietly handed the palace attendant a gold lunt according to the practice of his previous life, and the two sides immediately became happy.
