Chapter Eighty-Three: The Great Pit of the Forge
It's not heavy, but it's so close that it closes Grint's mouth. Fortunately, Grint is a person of interest, and he is not a glass heart, so he took off the book of "Advanced Auxiliary Magic" and honestly sat back in his chair and began to study.
Ranaya also turned the title page of the circle book. Casting is really a big pit. It includes two major sections, and the primer itself is divided into two categories, which are offensive primers and functional primers. The so-called offensive attractor is nothing more than a sword, a bow, and the like, which can achieve a certain form of spiritual energy through condensation and have a certain lethality. As for the functional type, it is natural to be those that can meet the needs of people's daily life, including but not limited to communication type, storage type, map type, etc.
Whether it is an offensive or a functional attractor, there are three basic circles they have in common, namely the charging circle, the energy attraction circle, and the inscription circle. Among them, the inscription circle is the core of the entire primer, which determines the nature and purpose of the primer. The charging circle and the energy introduction circle of all the induction devices are almost the same, and you only need to memorize it a little and practice it a few times to become familiar with it. The headache is the inscription circle, each type of induction is very different, and it is also the most complex.
Memory circles still require a little magical knowledge as a foundation, and it is very difficult for people like those who decide to live with strength to draw so many circles from memory without reading a book.
As for Lanaya, she's a magical genius.
In addition to memorizing a large number of patterns of magic circles, another important part of casting is to master the fine processing of metals and alloys. What you want is to be convenient and be able to carry it with you, although you can use it if you carve the above three basic circles on a large discus, but who will take a discus out of the house?
Finishing the material requires a lot of tools that Lanaya had never heard of before, and there are many different types: circle carving knives, files of various shapes, sandpaper, grinders, vices, ...... Oh yes, Ranaya grew up in books on magic and alchemy, and she didn't kill people with these things, so she certainly hadn't heard of it.
The most critical tool is the circle carving knife, something that the forger has in his hand. It is said to be a carving knife, but in fact, the shape is very similar to the pen, and the grip is also the grip of the pen, and the tip of the knife is equivalent to the tip of the pen. The difficulty of carving a complex circle on such a small primer can be imagined, so an adjustable convex mirror is specially set up in the middle of the handle of all magic circle carving knives to play an auxiliary role in magnification.
It took two days to finally understand all the basics, and memorized the most basic charging circle and the drawing method of the energy attraction circle, and then I had to start using it.
There is no threshold for the sub-class department of the Hidden Sanctuary, as long as you are a member of the Hidden Sanctuary, you can freely join any kind of sub-class, considering that the knowledge and materials of some sub-classes are the same, it is stipulated that you can join up to three at the same time.
The third floor of the east building is the world of the caster. Lanaya didn't expect that the first thing she chose was not alchemy, but casting.
As with the rules on the alchemy side, only senior casters and above can have private workbenches, and apprentices, beginner and intermediate casters can only borrow them. Over time, the sub-vocational department of the Hidden Sanctuary evolved a kind of atmosphere: every sub-vocational rank in the hands of senior and above people would have three or four junior brothers, and they would be asked by the teacher to clean up from time to time, and at the same time, they could also ask the teacher questions.
After registering as an apprentice caster, Lanaya searched for the number she had gotten. "D027......" Lanaya came to an old door and looked up to see a nail nailed to it, and a wooden sign with the words "D027" on it, and "work" written on it.
Lanaya knocked on the door, and after a while, with the squeak of sour teeth, the door was opened, and the person who answered the door was a young woman, about twenty, about the same height as Lanaya, and she was not very beautiful, but her eyes showed an arrogance that could not be concealed, and she looked at people with her nostrils, and it was no exaggeration to say that if she added a crown to her head, she would think she was a princess just by looking at her face.
"Hello, I'm an apprentice who just registered, and I'm going to study with you in the future. Lanaya laughed.
The woman who answered the door showed a look of disgust, but after glancing behind her, she opened the door wider and let Lanaya in. She rolled her eyes as she made a way and said, "It's endless, how many more people will be squeezed in this small place." ”
"Oh my God, I wish she had used less material. ”
"What are you worried about, can't you still grab an apprentice?"
The other two men talked to themselves as if they didn't take Lanaya seriously at all.
The woman who answered the door also returned to her seat. Lanaya looked around the small room of less than ten square meters, most of the space was filled by a square table, the table was in disarray, metal scraps of various colors, all kinds of miscellaneous tools were scattered, and there was a lot of garbage on the floor, which looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time.
She searched around, but did not find her own empty seat, the only three seats left have been occupied, the rest is the sloppy old man sleeping on the chaise longue next to him snoring, the glasses are about to fall off and don't help him, the stubble is full of cheeks and chin, Erlang's legs are high, his arms are folded in front of his chest, his mouth is wide open in a daze, and his horn is flowing onto his clothes.
Ranaya couldn't convince herself that he was the teacher!
That's at least a teacher of a senior caster!
She can still bear it without a chair, as long as she waits for the teacher to wake up...... Well, Lanaya definitely didn't want to wake up the teacher.
When you come to the messy table, where do you start? Ranaya picked up a piece of blue-green metal that was fairly complete and the size was acceptable, and the book said that it was "green tin", which was the highest density of all metals, and the texture was very soft, and it was relatively easy to process. Just as he was thinking about what shape he wanted to carve it into, the green tin in his hand was snatched away.
"Hey, new kid, this is my thing, you are not allowed to rob it. The woman who answered the door just now said sharply.
The two students next to him couldn't help but laugh secretly, and then the woman glared angrily, so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.
Lanaya was also frightened by this aura, but then put on a smile and said, "Yes, can you tell me which ones I can use?"
The woman's voice instantly doubled: "What 'you'? When you get here, you must call me boss, or you will get out of here." The woman said, gathering all the pieces of metal on the table that were all in good shape to herself, leaving only a few pieces of debris. The other two students were dumbfounded, but none of them dared to come forward, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Lanaya was embarrassed, looking at this pile of debris with the largest diameter of only two centimeters, presumably the woman meant that she could pick whatever she wanted.
"Anne, don't mess around. The sloppy old man suddenly said something, and before anyone could react, it was followed by a loud snoring.
Anne let out a disdainful "snort", did not speak again, and continued to work on her own business.
Lanaya finally picked out a relatively large one, but it was not as big as her own amethyst ring. Looking at the piles of long strips of metal in Anne's arms, I felt very uncomfortable.
To make an introducer, it is usually necessary to carve out the basic circle inside with a circle carving knife, and then through a series of welding, grinding, polishing, etc., to form the final product.
Before Lanaya's hand landed on one of the circle knives on the table, a chubby hand pulled the knives over. The fat man laughed and said, "This is mine, I'm sorry." ”
What the hell is going on?, Ranaya casually caught a glimpse of a triangular bronze medallion on the fat man's chest, with a bow engraved on it. Suddenly, the thunderclouds in her heart rumbled, and she couldn't imagine how a ball of meat could become an archer.
Can you change the teacher?
The only man with glasses who didn't pay attention to Ranaya was carving the gadgets in his hand silently, his ears didn't hear anything outside the window, he could cause less trouble if he could, he came here to improve his casting skills, and he wasn't intrigue, it seemed that he had seen it through.
Ranaya had no choice, and finally she finally found a circle carving knife, but the tip of the knife had been blunted, and there were many small scratches on the convex mirror, so she couldn't see the image on the other side of the mirror at all.
She tried her best to recall the drawing of the charging circle and the energy attraction circle, as well as a two-cubic-decimeter-inscribed storage induction circle. She looked at the piece of metal in her hand that she couldn't find when she threw it away...... It can only start with the simplest.
She used a flatcutter to cut the metal in half horizontally, so that there were two flat cross-sections. Lanaya used her left thumb and forefinger to stabilize half of it, and in her right hand she held the carving knife and began to carve the charging circle. It's really a hassle not to be able to make it on a table without a seat, and besides, it's so small!
A charging circle is a channel through which psionic energy is fed in, usually leaving a small area for a charging slot to activate the inscription circle that follows. Through a series of formula rules contained in the inscription array, the information is transmitted to the energy attraction circle, and finally the results are presented through the energy attraction circle.
After carving the charging circle, Lanaya suddenly realized that there was only one area left to draw the circle.
Without the three basic circles, the primer cannot be called an introducer, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, it is just a decoration.
"Hmph, it's really a rookie, such a simple circle is so big, it's not as clever as my mind at all. ”
Lanaya looked up and saw Anne smiling contemptuously at herself. Seeing Lanaya raise her head, Anne's shrill voice rang out again: "Stand aside, you're blocking my light! Really, why should I, an intermediate caster, be wronged in such a place? When will I have my own workbench!"
