Chapter 6 Drawing
Let's not mention the two magicians' guidance to the two trainee mages for now. Shouko put on his cloak and greeted the mages and went to his hut. Because the residence of the mage and Loki master was not far from the town, Shaoko decided to go to the town to buy some food and daily necessities. While the weather was still fine, he couldn't help but speed up and rushed to the only tavern in the town to buy some wheat bread, tea, several kilograms of bacon, and a small bag of aperitifs. He also bought some candles, small pieces of cloth strips and other daily necessities in the grocery store next door.
Shaoke originally wanted to drink a glass of sweet wine in the tavern, but there were too many people inside and it was late, so he had to pack up his things, pack a package and take it to his residence. Since he had only two months to go on a routine outdoor patrol, he prepared some daily necessities for this. He planned to study his magic experiments and practice magic during this period in order to achieve faster promotion to the magician level.
When he returned to his residence, Shaoke checked the warning spell "Yeye" that was arranged outside the house yesterday. This spell is a plane magic array constructed by a small amount of magic powder. The effective range is fifty meters. As long as the creatures entering this range meet the requirements of the caster, they will emit special magic waves to remind the caster that the general effective time is twenty-four magic times. However, if an alarm occurs, the duration of the magic array will decrease significantly. After all, it is only constructed by a small amount of magic powder, and there is no sufficient energy to support it. After careful addition of some magic powder on the magic array, the warning array can run twenty-four magic times again, which eliminates the time to draw the magic array again.
After returning to his residence, it was already late. Shaoko lit the honey-made wax placed on the table and started a routine meditation. Usually, his meditation during this period would last for a magical time, and then began today's dinner. Although the mage was not so hungry, he still ate some bread and a small amount of bacon. After all, he still had a lot of homework to do at night. At that time, he would be busy until midnight and be interrupted by hunger, so that he would not stop to replenish some food.
Although the dinner is not rich, it is also quite delicious. Shaoke, who has lived here for at least twenty years, has gradually become accustomed to this food culture similar to the Western food on earth. Occasionally, the mage also wants to rely on the delicious food on earth to make a bucket of gold coins in this world, but he only knows such a pitiful dish. Moreover, since he came into contact with magic, he has been deeply attracted by the magic magic magic, making him silent in the experiment of magic. So, the thought of getting rich gradually faded. In this case, his current magic learning is entirely supported by the empire. At present, the mage still does not need too many gold coins to maintain his magic experiment.
After dinner, a cup of tea relieved the mage's busy body and mind to a certain extent. After a little rest, Shaoke started an experiment he had prepared in this small house, the laboratory, in the "structure and inlay of magic circles". He planned to draw a low-level magic circle and successfully inlay them on his cloak. For this reason, it took him more than half a year to understand the process of making and inlaying this magic circle, and prepared sufficient materials for him to use.
After packing up the desk, he took out a thin piece of lambskin from the wall grid and gently placed it on the table. Then, he took out the ink of a glass short bottle with several magical words embedded in it, which was different from the ink he used to write and copy. Instead, he used a few points of blood on the tip of the heart of a female lamb who was less than three months old. With some precious medicinal materials, the magic powder was successfully configured. The magical words on the bottle ensured that the ink inside would not condense or evaporate over time. This special ink was mainly used for drawing magic structures and drawing papers of low-level magic arrays. It was relatively expensive. In such a bottle of ink, the most basic lamb blood would require at least three hundred lambs to be collected, let alone those precious medicinal materials and magic powder.
Of course, the drawing of magic structures also requires a special brush. Different magic structures require brushes with different attributes to be successfully drawn. Moreover, advanced spell structures require dozens of different pens to match different inks to be successfully drawn. Now Shaoke is only planning to draw a zero-level spell structure, and it does not require so much consideration.
This time, Shaoke planned to draw the zero-level spell "Mist Attachment". This spell can form a light white mist around the recipient, slightly increasing the casting concentration of the caster when casting, and rarely reducing the opponent's spell interference, and can cover the face to a certain extent. Due to the performance of this spell, a brush made of water-based snow fox hair was selected for this drawing. This pen was made of several strands of hair on the tail of the snow fox and soaked with snow stone powder and ice crystal powder. Therefore, drawing this zero-level spell structure has reduced the required mental power and magical requirements for the required one, so it is not so difficult for Shaoke to draw this magic array.
The drawing of magic circles and the making of scrolls have a common basic requirement: the entire structure must be drawn in one breath. If there is an intermittent situation, the carrier and materials of the entire magic circle will lose their effect. However, this is not such a serious problem for Shaoke, who has been preparing for half a year. It took about a quarter of an hour to draw the magic circle, and it was successfully drawn in addition to this zero-level "Mist Attachment" magic circle.
The magic energy on the entire puffer roll slowly rotates according to the structure of the spell, emitting a faint white light to show its existence. After a short rest, Shaoke began to write dozens of magical characters in ancient magic around the array. The function of these characters is to maintain the operation of the array and the connection with the carrier, and to add some small functions: automatically extracting a small number of external magic elements to maintain the operation of the array, turning on and off spell commands, automatically cleaning dust... and other functions.
The quality of a general magic circle depends not only on the proficiency, level, and level of the magic circle. It also depends on the magic circle around the magic circle. Generally speaking, the older the magic circle, the better the effect it has. Of course, these magic circles and magic circles can match each other. However, most mages do not have the opportunity to understand and learn ancient characters. They generally use modern magic words and ancient magic words to use around the magic circle, but those strengths
Powerful mages will use different ancient texts based on the drawn magic circle: dragon text, abyss text, ancient text, Maya text and other magical powerful words to bless the magic circle. However, these words are not written by Shaoke now. Even if he can read and chant some of these ancient and powerful words, if he needs to write successfully, he needs to reach the level of a great magician, and some languages even require magic to be written.
After Shaoke successfully drew his first magic circle, an unsuppressible joy surged up. I don’t know how much energy I was wasted for each progress to change it back. After a while, after his emotions stabilized, Shaoke placed the drawing that had just been successfully drawn in a small silver basin filled with magic powder, crystal powder and a silver basin mixed with specific magic beast blood. Because the level of this magic circle is low and the magic power is needed, it is considered that the production of this magic circle was successfully completed when only one magic was spent.
It was almost late at night after all this. Shaoke crossed his legs and started meditation on the bed to restore the magic and mental power he had just consumed. Then he cut a few slices of bacon with a silver knife and grabbed the bread slices that touched honey and put them on the charcoal fire to grill it slightly, and then started his own midnight snack. Since he had to pay attention to the drawing later, he did not make the usual hot soup, but just lay on the bed casually and stretched out his somewhat hard body, thinking: "With this first successful production, then the magic equipment in the future does not seem to be so far away! Today is a 'Mist attachment', tomorrow one is one
‘Elemental Guardian’, a ‘Solidified Fireball’ the day after tomorrow... No, I thought too far, it’s better to successfully advance to a magician first. Now the subsidy given by the empire is not enough for my own expenses. Alas! I still give a lot of magician level. One hundred general gold coins a month. If you want a few element papers, you need a few element papers. Haha!” Shaoke thought about it and shook his head quickly. It was too unrealistic, but the magician still wanted to be promoted. It was all for the more mysterious magic in the future. When I cheered myself up, I remembered that the magic circle drawing was still in the basin. I quickly stopped thinking about it and started working.
When he looked at the drawings in the basin, he found that the white light on it had disappeared. It turned out that a magic time had passed unknowingly. So Shaoke quickly took the drawings out of the basin and held them for a while. The magic liquid on the parchment disappeared due to the power of magic. He looked at the array diagram in his hand carefully and felt very satisfied. The magic power in the magic structure slowly flowed, and the magic words seemed to have come alive and twisted from time to time. This made Shaoke feel surprised and mysterious. Even if he made it himself, he did not understand the specific principles of these, even if these principles had been read in books.
