my age of magic

Chapter 1567 117. Barbarian Magic Pattern Construction

Regarding the recent disorder in the magic market, Yerkes scholars have their own views.

In his opinion, the main reason for the large-scale fluctuations in the magic market is the sudden emergence of a large number of cheap crossbow arrows and primary magic rune boards.He was worried that in this case, the House of Representatives of the Imperial Capital Magic Union would intervene.

But this kind of thing is uncontrollable. The fighters who came down from the plane battlefield are fighting for their own interests.

I sat down on the chair opposite the Yerkes scholar, put my hand on the test bench, and said to him:

"Since the Plane War is victorious, it is unavoidable for this second-hand magic weaponry to return to the magic market in the imperial capital. Whether it is the constructed knights participating in the Plane War, or the knight auxiliary soldiers participating in the war, after the war is won, they all need some practical equipment. It is a pity that there are so many spoils of war, and the noble lords are still waiting to take them out in exchange for meritorious service, improve their titles, and make up for the large investment in the early stage of the war. The interests of the soldiers can only be obtained in private besides the limited military pay. Obviously, these damaged and unrecorded equipment have become their additional source of income. I think many noble lords can only turn a blind eye to this matter. "

In fact, there is a sentence I didn’t say directly, I just want to break the so-called order in the current magic market in the imperial capital, I want magic items to enter civilian families, and I want magic weapons to continue to expand their influence in the war against the dark forces of the abyss power to play its due role.

Although the Yerkes scholar can always design new styles for the primary magic circle, it does not mean that he is avant-garde in thinking. He is a magic scholar with traditional thinking. The magic rune tablet has always been very contradictory.

"But this kind of thing has too much impact on the imperial capital's magic market." Yerkes frowned, and he could see that he was a little conflicted.

"Before that, your giant crossbow arrows could still be controlled and sold to specific armies. As long as these giant crossbow arrows don't flow out, they won't have that much impact on the magic market. At most, other lords will see some legion In the war of planes, the bed crossbow was widely used to resist the dark forces of the abyss. I felt that the bed crossbow was used after matching the magic crossbow, and it was very effective against the Niburu spider warriors and Nacoma warriors. In this way, it was also exciting. Other noble lords went to the magic market to buy this kind of magic crossbow, but the giant crossbow arrows in the magic market are more expensive, which greatly increases the cost of war. They will carefully evaluate the battlefield, and only use it if they think there is a greater chance of victory. Throw your own troops into battle."

He placed a giant crossbow arrow magic blueprint on the table, and he marked every detail, and countless leads and notes would be all over the blueprint.

Staring at the drawing, the Yerkes scholar said to me:

"Noble lords began to try to use magic crossbows, which also gave this magic rune weapon a broader market prospect in the magic market. Many inscribers in the imperial capital have focused on drawing magic giants in recent months. On the crossbows, you can probably see those magic crossbows in the magic market even on the street stalls in the free market on the way to the imperial magic research institute."

Then, he pushed the blueprint in front of me, and continued:
"But now! A large number of cheap magic crossbows were brought from the battlefield to the magic market by warriors. Now many lords will only buy giant crossbows that sell for no more than real silver coins. The magic crossbows in the entire imperial capital are slow to sell. A few days ago , Bruce also specifically talked to me about this matter, and asked me if I could design a relatively cheap giant crossbow arrow. Bruce said that some people in the magic union think that we have a very low-cost giant crossbow arrow design in our hands. , let us take it out and communicate with other inscribers in the imperial capital."

It turns out that someone from above put pressure on the Imperial Academy of Magic, and it must have a lot of background to influence Mr. Bruce, the vice president.

I glanced at the magic blueprint of the giant crossbow arrow, and said: "Since the single-attribute magic crossbow arrow has appeared in the magic market, then give them the blueprint. There is a big difference in the selection of base materials. If they want to imitate, they have to completely abandon the base material of the Babington family rune plate workshop, and the magic circle on the arrow of this giant crossbow is not complicated. We do not provide blueprints, and this kind of single-attribute giant crossbow arrow is also easy to imitate, what they said is not the magic pattern blueprint, but the red copper metal solution, if they can afford the price, I can also sell it."

"But this is the biggest secret of the metal magic pattern rune board, are you really going to announce it to the public?" Yerkes scholar asked in surprise.

"It's a good thing that someone wants to learn the new type of rune plate, the metal magic rune plate. I wanted to replace the traditional manual rune plate with the metal magic rune plate a long time ago, because the production process of the metal magic rune plate is more efficient. And the cost of materials is relatively cheap,” I explained to the Yerkes scholar.

In fact, even if I don't say these things, the Yerkes scholar is very clear, what he doesn't understand is only the production process of the metal magic pattern rune plate.

I said to him: "The biggest difference between the traditional hand-carved rune plate and the metal magic pattern rune plate is that the former needs to seal the complete outline of the magic pattern circle on the rune plate coated with mithril, which is quite Yu draws this magic pattern circle twice, while the latter is drawn directly on an ordinary metal plate with metal solution, and it only needs to be drawn once to complete it. Compared with the two, the traditional hand-carved rune plate consumes less I don't know how many times the magic metal is higher than the metal magic rune board, but the metal magic rune board has higher requirements for the basic seal cutting skills of the inscription masters, and they need to be precise, meticulous, and coherent to draw the magic rune in one stroke .”

"...So even the simplest 'Focus Fire' rune board, Luke has been practicing for a long time before he can barely draw it." Yerkes scholar said, this may be the doubt in his heart. After a magic assistant, he finally realized the difference between me and other inscribers.

With his personality, if he was in the past, he might have long been unable to bear the magic assistant who couldn't even draw the 'Spotfire' rune board, but seeing this shy and dull young magician standing here, It seems that Yerkes Scholar's irascible personality has changed a lot.

This magic assistant named Luke has been listening carefully to our talk about rune plates and magic pattern construction, but he never interrupted from beginning to end.

I glanced at this young magic assistant, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Just practice more. The most important thing about this kind of metal magic pattern rune board is to have a The engraving pen dipped in ink, and the engraving pen needs to be sharper, and the drainage groove should be opened larger. After all, the red copper metal solution is more viscous than the magic ink, and if you are not careful, it will stop flowing. Luke, you are learning Make a metal magic rune tablet?"

"Yes, Senior Jijia." He looked a little shy when he spoke.

Hearing him call me senior, I couldn't help asking: "Are you a freshman of this year's Royal Academy of Magic?"

"Yes, Senior Jijia." Luke replied.

I took out a magic engraving pen from my pocket, stuffed it into his hand and said, "Then this pen is for you. This is a magic engraving pen specially used for drawing metal magic pattern rune plates. It will let you The drawn lines are smoother."

"Um, it's a pity that I'm not very proficient in mastering it yet." Luke took the magic engraving pen a little shyly, and said to me.

I think Yerkes scholars need a magic assistant by their side. In order to give Luke some encouragement and cultivate his interest in inscriptions, I simply took an ordinary steel plate from the test bench and found a bottle of The magic red copper solution refined by Senior Vernon, picked up a magic engraving pen, and said to Luke: "Haha, I can't help you with other rune boards, but when it comes to the 'Focus Fire' rune board , I don’t know how many paintings I have drawn since I was a child, and I am very experienced with this rune board.”

As I said that, I picked up the magic engraving pen and dipped it in some red copper solution, and began to draw the magic lines of the 'Fire Gathering Technique' on the iron plate. ...in this way...in one go, remember the coherence, the turning point must not be piled up with ink, and when the pen is finally closed, a certain space must be reserved for the gemstone base."

In the end, he skillfully took out the gemstone base from the drawer of the experimental table and stuck it on the rune board, and used tweezers to pick up a fragment of the magic crystal and put it into the gemstone base. Looking at me, he said, "It turns out that, as Master Yerkes Scholar said, the 'Fire Focus' rune board is so simple in your writing."

"It's good to be proficient."

After I finished speaking, I gave him the position of the test bench.

Luke looked at the magic engraving pen in his hand, mustered up the courage to stand in front of the test bench, and continued to practice.

Scholar Yerkes and I returned to the full-cover magic pattern structure, and the topic turned to the magic pattern structure. Now that I have the idea of ​​engraving this primary magic pattern structure with a magic engraving machine, I will To get the support of a Yerkes scholar, only he can make some small changes to the structure of the structure without affecting the properties of the structure.

I reached out and knocked on this set of full-cover armor, and said to the Yerkes scholar: "This kind of primary magic pattern construction can improve the strength, physique and agility of the knight who constructed it, and it is almost the same as the ordinary full-cover armor. There is no difference in armor, but this kind of magic pattern structure that increases the strength and physique of the fighter is exactly what I need most at present, and this primary magic pattern structure is simplified after the magic pattern line is simplified. I want to try to use metal magic pattern runes I want to control the total cost of the magic pattern construction to about [-] to [-] magic spar, or even lower."

The Yerkes scholar stood by and listened carefully to my narration, and I said: "You also know that the magic pattern structure has always been an expensive magic item that noble lords can only have. Words are a huge inheritance for the younger generations, and many noble families can't even afford a set of elementary magic pattern structures."

Yerkes scholars are also deeply touched by this.

I went on to say: "The magic pattern structure is difficult to buy. In addition to the high price, the long manual production cycle of the inscriber is also a factor restricting the magic pattern structure. The normal production cycle of a set of magic pattern structure is about a week. Many Aristocrats who want to have the magic pattern structure even have to make reservations from the inscription masters."

The Yerkes scholar said proudly: "An excellent inscriber will always have endless orders for magic pattern construction." After speaking, he glanced at me.

I smiled and said to him: "Perhaps this most common primary magic pattern structure will soon break the shackles of insufficient supply."

Although he was a little surprised, he immediately understood the meaning of my words.

As a supporter of traditional magic, he has always opposed my application of the technical principles of the metal magic rune plate to the magic pattern structure. He was about to dissuade me, but I said first: "In the Grimm Empire, many The transferred fighters all come from commoner families, but without a certain opportunity, it is even difficult for them to form knights."

Speaking of how difficult it is for a commoner family to get out of the Constructed Knight, the Yerkes scholar finally had some feelings, and he lowered his head in thought.

I continued: "Right now, wars between the planes are raging, but many lords would rather stay in the imperial capital and wait for the opportunity, than take the Constructed Knights to the battlefield without certainty of victory. In the final analysis, the problem lies with these lords. I can't afford to lose, the pensions for the casualties of the constructed knights, the expensive magic pattern construction, all kinds of unrecoverable materials on the battlefield, etc., all of which require resounding gold coins."

"So I want to reduce the production cost of the primary magic pattern structure. In addition, I also have selfish intentions, that is, I want to arm my group of barbarian slaves with this primary magic pattern structure, so that they have stronger strength on the battlefield And stamina, being able to pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow a few more times may make the battle easier."

The Yerkes scholar glanced at me and said to me, "If it's those barbarian slaves, you're wearing Nacoma black iron armor for them?"

I said yes."

"If it's the Nacoma black iron armor, we can also expand those simple magic lines properly, which can also improve some magic attributes, but the improvement is very limited..." Yerkes scholar said , and explained to me the principle of the flow of magic elements in the lines of the magic pattern, and it didn't matter if I understood it or not, it just kept on explaining.

It seems that he has no objection to the improvement of the Nacoma black iron armor. He asked me for a set of Nacoma armor and put it in the laboratory. Each piece of the bulky Nacoma black iron armor has It weighs tens of kilograms, and when put together in the laboratory, it is nearly three meters high...
