Chapter 51: The Camera

For the rest of his life, Colin traveled almost daily to the Magic Society, the Mage's Tower, and the Wandering Gold Chamber of Commerce.

In the morning, he went to the library of the association to find relevant books under his own planning and study, and in the afternoon, he participated in the construction of the photo camera at the Youjin Chamber of Commerce - although most of the work has been assigned by him, because he is the only one who masters the core technology, the progress of the entire project still needs to be controlled by him.

Eleanor and the others were really trustworthy, and by the time they were in their early twenties, almost all the work that Colin had assigned had been completed.

Next, you just need to wait for the work of the craftsman to be completed, and then proceed to the magic pattern inscription.

I have to say that no matter what the craftsmanship is, the efficiency of craftsmen in this world is really not high.

After all, all work needs to be done by hand, especially in forging and tailoring, before there is no machine such as a sewing machine, the speed is really unbearable, and Colin's requirements are quite demanding, the number of craftsmen who can have the corresponding craftsmanship is not many, so they can only wait for them to work slowly.

……

Thirty-five days after Colin's assignment.

In the shack of the Youjin Chamber of Commerce, a strange hut rises from the ground.

This hut, built almost of iron sheets, is about 10 feet square, about the size of a three-meter-long cube, and because of the exquisite workmanship, there are almost no gaps in the opening of the door, and if it were not for the handle, it would have taken a long time to find.

Once inside, the door is completely opaque, and the five fingers are really missing.

The structure of the interior is simple, with a wooden protrusion on the top and on each of the four walls, covered with a piece of fine silk, which has been skillfully sewn to obscure a delicate glass lens inside, and in addition, the entire interior of the room, including the floor, is densely covered with magic patterns.

For Eleanor and the others, there were more magic patterns engraved in the past few days than all of them had before in this life combined.

And Colin Vane's requirements are very strict, the magic pattern must not be a little wrong, otherwise it must be erased and restarted, because it is directly engraved on the iron wall, once it is mistaken, it will become very troublesome.

The most important thing is that more than 900 magic patterns are all crammed into this small space, and it is conceivable that most of the time, it needs to be iteratively processed.

The so-called iterative magic pattern refers to the overlapping inscription of two or more magic patterns, which is relative to series or parallel, and is a way to activate the upper and lower magic patterns at the same time or alternately.

In the design of the photographer, there are 11 layers of iterations in the most, which can be called a perversion.

Although the inscriptions of these magic patterns were all completed by Eleanor and the other nine people, to be honest, they could only roughly know the effect of some of them, and it was completely impossible to imagine what the effect of all these magic patterns would be when they were added up.

But no matter what, when all the inscriptions were completed, standing in the center of the room, under the light of the luminous stones on the top and around it, the dense magic patterns around it gave people a sophisticated, complex, mysterious, and even somewhat strange feeling.

It's very fulfilling.

The "huge project" that took 35 days to complete was standing in front of him, and Colin had mixed feelings.

The camera is done.

But this work, which is a work that compares with the "camera" of the previous life, has nothing to do with the former in appearance.

That's right.

This whole room is a "photograph".

People or objects need to be in the middle of the room, facing a certain direction, in order to take pictures.

Although the function cannot be compared with that of a full-fledged "camera", it is not easy to take such a step in this world.

Only Colin or Roman Sagan knows.

The most critical part of this "gramograph" is the 374 magic patterns that Colin completed by himself.

And its greatest significance is that the space system magic pattern has been used for the first time in this world.

This is undoubtedly a pioneering step.

Colin looked at the huge work in front of him, excited and a little worried.

With such a large, sophisticated, and complex magical project, any mistake in any part of the project will cause it to fail, and it will probably take no less time to find the problem and fix it than to build it.

This is also the biggest reason why he has not explained his old bottom to others until now.

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to blow it out, in case you can't play it?

But now that it's all done, there's no way to hide it.

He took a deep breath and smiled at several of the main participants present.

"I need a helper to be the subject of the experiment, who will?"

Colin didn't elaborate.

If successful, the first person to enter the camera and be photographed will undoubtedly leave their name in the entire history of magic.

This kind of honor, Colin hopes that God will decide.

Everyone looked at each other.

The reason for the hesitation, of course, is what Colin called "test subjects".

This will undoubtedly make people have bad associations.

Can the magician's experiment, or the test subject, be good?

Ultimately.

Eleanor and Finia stood up almost at the same time: "I'll come." ”

The two looked at each other.

Eleanor smiled: "Lady Finia, I am a magician after all, and I have a certain ability to protect myself in case of any danger." ”

"Then there's Lord Lloeleanor." Phinea said and stepped back.

Colin looked at her with regret.

Lady Finia, you don't know what you're missing.

Now that he had decided, he didn't say anything more, and commanded Eleanor, "Ma'am, I need you to stand in the middle of the room, facing the east wall, and make a gesture that you think is appropriate...... Rest assured, failure is possible, but there is no danger. ”

"Oh."

Eleanor obediently entered the room.

Under the glow-in-the-dark stone, the inside is as bright as day, and the walls around the room are particularly clear and delicate.

After standing still, she hesitated slightly.

Decent movements?

……

After Eleanor entered the room, Colin walked to the east side of the cabin, where there was a half-height wooden workbench that connected the room, and a black curtain on the wall above.

He opened the curtain-like curtain, and from the glass behind the curtain, he could see the scene inside the room, but because of the one-way light transmission magic pattern, the people inside could not see the outside, and could only feel a glimmer of light on the wall in front of him.

"Ms. Finia, the poplar planks I asked you to prepare earlier......"

"Oh, here."

Phinea hurriedly had a wooden box moved.

"According to the size you said, there are fifty poplar planks with a thickness of 0.5 inches."

"Thank you."

Colin took the board from Fenia and weighed it in his hand, expressing his satisfaction as the sample he had seen before.

He tucked the plank vertically into a long hole in front of the worktop.

"Lady Eleanor, please get ready." A sound transmitted through a sound guide pattern enters the room.

With that, Colin pressed his thumb into a finger-shaped groove.

Because there is enough light, there is no need for a flash. Eleanor in the room took a pose and waited silently, and after a faint sound of magic pattern activation was heard in her ears, she heard Colin say again: "Okay, you can come out." ”

It's over?

Eleanor didn't understand what was going on.

She walked out of the room, feeling a little inexplicable.

I didn't do anything, huh?

I don't feel it at all.

That's it?

She looked at Colin Vane.

I saw the latter slowly pull out a wooden board from the operating table, flip it over, and observe it carefully.

Half a day.

Colin looked up with a smile on his face, and pointed the plank towards the group.

Everyone unconsciously approached.

When I got close enough, I finally saw what was on the board.

It was a full-length portrait of a woman.

She was wearing a black magic robe with green silk thread trim, a small wand pinned to her belt, and she stood straight, her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, looking dignified and beautiful, her face was calm with a smile, and there was a little nervousness hidden in her smile.

Everyone recognized it at a glance, and the person on the painting was Eleanor.

The crowd turned their gaze to the real person Eleanor next to them, and then to the plank.

After a few back and forth, they were all dumbfounded.
