Chapter 3 "Egg Fixing" Magic Array

(The first update requires artillery support from various data.) )

――――――――――――――――

"This is a highly secret place protected by the laws of the Empire, everything you see after that is an Imperial secret, it is strictly forbidden to talk about it to other unrelated people, and leaking relevant information will be directly punished by capital punishment, understand?"

Roland's Interior Officer, the black-haired curly-haired baroness Seurtias with black alienated wings on her back, warned Hade as she motioned for the guards at the door to open the side door.

Hand nodded with a serious expression, but he couldn't help but secretly slander in his stomach: "Isn't it the hatching and breeding ground for the eggs of the griffin and the moa, it's so exaggerated." ”

Although Hade thought so, this Monster Egg Hatchery Breeding Ground in District 2 of the inner city of Roland City was indeed a very important place, which could be seen from the dense guards on the outside and the three identification procedures he had gone through before.

However, when he entered this secret place of the Empire, it took a lot of effort for Hede to resist the urge to burst into laughter, even though he was mentally prepared for what he was about to see.

The eggs of the monsters, which are half an adult's size, are neatly arranged on the leather carriage, the yellow-brown shell is the griffin egg, and the light blue is the moa egg, and the two are arranged in two different areas. Of course, these smooth-looking monster eggs have been treated in advance, and some of the variegated spots and lines on them have been carefully polished and eliminated.

And one by one, young or old magicians are concentrating on holding special magic pens, carefully inscribed on the monster eggs with strange lines and strangely shaped words, these patterns and words of different colors form a complex and mysterious pattern, which is what magicians often call the magic array.

This scene is very strange and spectacular, the neatly arranged phalanx of hundreds of huge monster eggs looks very eye-catching, and what is even more striking is the attitude and serious expressions of these magicians who are at least LV50 or above to treat these giant eggs as treasures, coupled with the inexplicable mystery of those giant eggs that have been or will be covered with mystical patterns, make Hade feel that all this is full of an inexplicable black humor.

The griffin eggs and moa eggs are relatively large, and the magic circles that need to be drawn are also very complex, and the magicians are very serious, careful and focused, which means that their work efficiency is very, very ...... Low, judging by their speed, Hade estimated that it would take at least two or three days to complete a "finished product", which was still the speed of those more skilled magicians.

The biggest reason why this is the case is actually that each monster egg is only in charge of a magician, that is to say, the detailed and complex magic arrays on the monster eggs are all drawn by the same person alone. From the delicate composition to the continuous input of mana, the unformed magic circle will not collapse, and if you make a mistake in the middle, you will have to start all over again. Before the magic array was drawn, the monster eggs were continuously injected by the younger magic apprentices in shifts to ensure that they would not fail halfway.

"Great!" "Lucky today, I managed to make three." The group of magicians let out a burst of cheers, and Hade saw that there were five demonic beast eggs that had been drawn by the magic array under the launching ceremony of Zuihou's magic array, and the magic arrays on the surface of three of them lit up with a steady light, which indicated that the magic array had been successfully activated.

And the patterns on the other two monster eggs flickered a few times like a light bulb with insufficient power supply after they lit up, making a few soft sounds of "snort", and the shell of the monster eggs cracked a few thin cracks, and then the entire wide hall was filled with a very good smell, well, it was the smell of scrambled eggs, which was obviously a failure, and it was a failure that could not be saved.

"The success rate is more than half of it, which is really ......." Hand sighed to himself.

This cumbersome and inefficient approach certainly makes it extremely inefficient to complete the "Egg Fix" secret technique. Well, of course, the official name of this Egg Determination Secret Technique is actually "Wild Removal Magic Blessing Technique Before Warcraft Eggs Hatch." However, Hed felt that it was more figurative and concise to use the name of the Egg Technique.

As the name suggests, this "egg" secret technique is to use magical brainwashing or prenatal education to suppress the aggression of griffons and moa in their natural instincts towards humans, and then the hatched young monsters will be very tame and easy for humans to drive. The same is true of the domestication of chocobos, which have been popularized among the people, and the chocobos purchased and bred by the people are sold through special institutions in the empire, but relatively speaking, the secret technique of egg fixing of chocobo eggs is relatively simple and the success rate is much greater, after all, chocobos are originally relatively mild herbivorous monsters.

At the same time, however, there are some flaws in this secret technique. That is, the generally hatched demonic beasts cannot be upgraded and evolved to a more advanced level, and at the same time, they are weaker than their wild counterparts of the same level in all aspects.

"The main reason for sending you here this time is to draw some inspiration from your unique knowledge of demonic beast breeding. Upon entering a room that resembled a mage's research room, Shertias directly stated her purpose.

"Something else, would you like to be my apprentice?"

The Baroness's proposal made Hood froze for a moment, and immediately thought of being apprenticed to someone else, and having to serve his mentor like Des, which was too ...... But this mentor is a mature royal sister...... But when I think about it in the future, I have to be like those magicians I just saw, holding eggs all my life and concentrating on drawing talismans on them, I feel that the eggs hurt very much, and that kind of life is simply no fun at all.

"Well, I don't have any ...... in magic."

"Oh, it's not for you to learn magic array training with me, it's about other things. Shorthias paused, "And it's not a formal mentor-apprenticeship, after all, you will most likely become a member of the West family like me in the future." ”

Hade secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't want to learn the knowledge of the magic array from her herself, to be honest, Hade was a complete layman and didn't have the slightest interest in this aspect. The intricate construction and drawing of patterns, coupled with the profound ancient magic words, even a "prophet" like Hade did not have the patience to study slowly. The magic array is a thing, it takes twenty years just to learn the basics, wow, it takes twice as much time and energy as a postdoctoral student in the previous life, who can stand it......

"As you saw just now, the success rate of the magic array blessing of the magic beast egg is very low, which is mainly due to the defective raw materials drawn by the magic array, specifically the preparation of the magic potion. In the specific case, it is necessary to use the same type of high-level Warcraft crystal nucleus and many magic materials to make magic potions, and use the instinctive coercion of high-level Warcraft to low-level Warcraft and spiritual magic to remove the wildness of ferocious Warcraft. ”

Speaking of this, Seurtias felt with a woman's intuition that the black-haired boy in front of her seemed to be a little absent-minded, and couldn't help asking, "Are you listening?"

"Well, Your Excellency Shortias, I have a question. ”

The Baroness frowned slightly, "Say it." ”

"Weishenme, those magicians who draw the magic array, have to complete the entire magic array by themselves?" Hade pointed to the many magic array compositions for shiyan in the room, "Wouldn't it be faster to divide these patterns into several or a dozen parts and let more people draw them at the same time?"

"Which is so simple, how easy is the composition of the magic array so easy to disassemble? And it takes twenty or thirty years to train a magician who draws a magic array, and it is more wasteful for several people to draw a magic array at the same time...... Uh-huh......", originally a little disdainful of the naΓ―ve proposal of the great layman, but then Shertias suddenly came to her senses, and folded her hands in front of her chest in contemplation.

After a while, the black-haired baroness waved her hand meaningfully, "You go on." ”

Hade smiled slightly, "I just thought that if a chef wants to make a schnitzel, he must first learn to forge jishu to create a set of kitchenware for himself, and then go hunting a giant toothed wild boar by himself, and then slowly cut off the required parts, boil them into oil, cut them into cutlets, learn how to make seasonings, zuihou only started to make them, how much time does this schnitzel take......."

It was so obvious that Hand believed that the brilliant magic array expert and internal genius must have understood the meaning, so he said no more, and quietly waited for the brooding baroness to return to normal.
