my age of magic

Chapter 573 71. Wind Wolf Leather Boots
A pair of boots made of cyan wind wolf fur were placed on the test bench. The leather craftsman used an iron tire mold to burn the ankles of these boots to look like wings. The arch of the boots was designed a bit exaggerated. The pair of boots give people the feeling that they are running all the time. This style of boots also has a nice name, which is called "Wind Wolf Leather Boots."

This pair of 'Wind Wolf Boots' above the magic circle, for me.It is obviously not as difficult as drawing the magic pattern of the 'wind snake skin armor'. The wind snake leather gaiter needs the long and narrow 'elegant wind' magic pattern circle, and the magic pattern used on the wind wolf leather boots There is nothing special about the magic circle, it is the most conventional first-level magic such as 'lightness technique' and 'acceleration technique'.

An excellent inscriber should not only learn how to delicately draw exquisite magic circles on those magic equipment, but also have the ability to design tailor-made for the magic equipment, and then combine the characteristics of the entire equipment to create a magic circle on a certain equipment. Build an inlay hole at the most appropriate position. This inlay hole is used to install the magic crystal. The magic pattern structure inlaid with the magic crystal will have greater power. Usually maintain this magic pattern structure. The normal operation of the array also requires magic crystals to provide a steady stream of magic energy. The mosaic groove of the magic spar is very important for a magic pattern structure. It must not be in a place where the enemy can easily attack, otherwise the magic spar will be crushed Even if the entire magic pattern structure is scrapped, it can only be regarded as whiteboard equipment at best.

Although I have a natural advantage in drawing magic runes, and have produced a large number of primary magic scrolls in recent years, this is not the most important thing for an excellent inscriber. For an inscription master, it is mainly because I have the ability to design magic pattern structures, so I cannot be regarded as a real inscription master, at most a magic craftsman who can skillfully make elementary magic scrolls.

The Yerkes scholar is not an inscriber either. The reason is naturally that his hand is unsteady. He can't hold the engraving pen that sends out the magic power and ink. Whenever he holds the pen, his hand will not be stable. He kept trembling, so he couldn't even draw the most basic magic pattern circle.Because of this, when Yerkes and I are combined together, I feel like a fish in water. The Yerkes scholar can be regarded as my half teacher. Although he has always refused to admit me as an apprentice, he has been teaching me. Do your best to teach me how to become a good inscriber.

"My design concept for this pair of shoes... comes from the design concept of the dual-attribute magic pattern structure. For the first-level magic pattern structure, this is also a breakthrough." Said the Yerkes scholar, he Picking up a wind wolf leather boot on the test bench and holding it in front of his face, his entire face was almost stuck to it, looking extremely wretched.

He then turned his head to look at me, and said to me: "Even if there are two first-level magic seals engraved on the magic pattern structure, then this magic pattern structure will automatically be promoted to a second-level magic pattern after the successful production." The construction, the demand value of the user's various abilities, will reach the level of the second-level magic pattern construction. The pair of shoes I designed must be different, so I want to try to use the left and right feet of this pair of shoes To draw a magic pattern circle, the difficulty we have to solve is how to reduce the ability requirements of each item to the level of a first-level magic pattern construction."

I sat on the high chair next to the test bench, and used a rag to tidy up the ink bottles on the test bench. There was still a lot of magic ink left in these bottles and jars. I wiped the ink stains on the bottle mouth, curiously Asked Yerkes: "Our patron is a noble knight who can only wear the first-level magic pattern structure?"

"That's right!" Yerkes blurted out without thinking.

Later, he realized that he had leaked some private information about the patron, and felt that this violated the professional ethics of the inscriber, and his face seemed a little uneasy, so he added: "But this is not something we have to consider, is it?"

"Well, I'm just asking casually." I said to Yerkes, actually I don't care who the sponsor of this set of magic patterns is, seeing that Yerkes didn't want to say it, and didn't continue ask.

I asked the Yerkes scholar, "What good ideas do you have about these shoes?"

Yerkes quickly took out a white paper notebook from his magic pocket. The parchment he saw had been turned up a bit. It seemed to be a portable notebook he often used. He skillfully folded the notebook Turning to a page, it reads "My design plan is to find two simplest and most practical first-level magic, preferably one is wind and the other is earth, and then reduce the carrying capacity of these two magic pattern circles to At the very least, if necessary, you can weaken the effects of some skills."

"You want me to draw 'lightness' on the left foot of this pair of shoes, and 'acceleration' on the right foot?" I continued to ask the Yerkes scholar with some doubts.

"No, no, no, you can't engrave two wind spells on a pair of shoes at the same time, the effect of wind spells will be greatly reduced. We must change one of them into a simpler other spell." Yeji Si patiently explained to me, whenever this time, his explanation will become very detailed.

Often he will take out some parchments that he has already prepared, and then list those plans that he has already prepared, and the two of us will verify them together.Often at the beginning, I need to draw the corresponding magic scrolls on some magic parchment, and then do some corresponding experiments, but unfortunately, I experimented with different first-level magic combinations throughout the night,' Lightness technique''acceleration technique''anti-gravity technique''endurance''fire path''ice edge path', etc. Unfortunately, after these magics are combined together, they need a high carrying capacity, and the demand value of each attribute of the whole body It also increased a lot by leaps and bounds.

The whole night was spent in this frequent experiment...

For the next three consecutive days, almost every night, I had to repeatedly demonstrate whether the combination of these magic skills was feasible, but none of the solutions was suitable for this pair of 'Wind Wolf Boots'. The blood streaks and the blue stubble on the lower jaw are also clearly visible. Originally, we thought that the 'Wind Wolf Leather Boots' was the simplest part of this set of magic pattern construction, but we didn't expect to find a clue for three days.

When the most basic patience in my heart was completely worn out, restlessness and impatience had been clearly written on the faces of Yerkes and me. Sometimes, we even talked non-stop in the laboratory because we expressed our opinions. Arguing, and then reconciling on the next topic, drawing these elementary magic scrolls is extremely boring, especially when I am already very familiar with its drawing process, but in order to control the magic state of the entire scroll, I have to Very careful and precise control of the output of mana in my hand, that invisible restraint gave me the urge to shout to the sky.

These days, Yerkes is still one of the scholars who work the latest in the Academy of Magic.

In the Institute of Magic in the Tower of Pride, every day the lights in the Yerkes scholar's laboratory will be turned on until the end, and we will consume dozens of magic parchments every day. The magic effects of those magic skills are reduced by us again and again. However, in terms of its own attribute requirements, it has not reached the original idea. We have tried any elementary magic related to movement speed. Unfortunately, once the two skills are superimposed, the required attribute requirements will be doubled. increase.

Standing in front of the test bench, I hung the magic carving knife in my hand on the pen stand, and the last stroke was successfully completed. The magic circle appeared and disappeared on the magic scroll, and the intermittent magic pattern circle seemed to be wiped out by a gust of wind at any time. , this is already the weakest 'lightness technique', I shook my slightly sore arms, and my eyes became a little sore, I sat wearily on the armchair next to the test bench, feeling dizzy intermittently I couldn't help leaning my head back. The shirt on the back was stuck to the back of the chair, and there was a biting coolness. Only then did I realize that the back of the white shirt had been soaked with sweat, and now it was squeezed by the back of the chair. Only when it is pressed against the body will there be such an inexplicable coolness.

Seeing me showing a little fatigue, the Yerkes scholar was silent, silently picked up the freshly baked magic scroll on the test bench, and stuck the scroll on a rune metal plate with a face full of expectation. There is already a magic scroll on the rune metal plate, and when the two scrolls are put together, as the Yerkes scholar recites the magic spell, the two magic scrolls actually burn at the same time, and the magic halo released At the same time, it all hangs over Yerkes Scholars.

Before the light and shadow effects released by the two magic scrolls disappeared, the Yerkes scholar stood in the hexagram circle, and couldn't wait to look at the magic crystal groove next to the rune metal plate, and asked impatiently: : "How about this time?"

The potion in the groove of the magic crystal has turned orange. This is the 150th failure in three days. I can't help but shake my head and smile wryly at the Yerkes scholar.

I suddenly found that this color was extremely hateful in my eyes. In the past few days, any elementary magic scrolls pasted on that rune metal plate, as long as one scroll is pasted, the color displayed in the groove of the magic crystal The color becomes bright red, no matter what kind of primary scroll it is, there is no problem.

But as long as two primary scrolls are pasted, no matter how weak the magic energy contained in these two scrolls is, they release the magic energy at the same time, and the carrying capacity generated instantly makes the color of the magic crystal groove turn yellow-orange. Yes, this means that the carrying capacity requirements of the two magic scrolls have reached the level of the second-level magic pattern structure.

'It still doesn't work! ’ I thought, leaning back in my chair with a sigh.

Yerkes' complexion was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and the wind wolf leather boots on the shelf next to him were so obtrusive now. The smooth leather on the upper was waiting for me to draw magnificent magic patterns with my own hands. Unfortunately, now no.

"Go back and rest, let's try again tomorrow!" Yerkes pondered for a while, and finally said, obviously he was in a bad mood, but considering that I still need to take a day's class at the Magic Academy tomorrow, and then I need to follow the blueprint he provided , drawing a magic scroll on the magic parchment, worried that my mental strength would not be enough for the next day, so I began to urge me to rest.

I nodded silently, dragging my tired body and heavy heart, I left the laboratory with Yerkes.

……

The magic scholars in the magic research institute will also talk about the magic research topics of various scholars after dinner. These academic research are originally some private matters, but in the research institute, there is no absolutely private matter, because Scholars need to report to the research institute every week, reporting the progress of the magic research topics in the past week.

In the research institute, there are more and more rumors about the Yerkes scholar, probably talking about how he is competing with a pair of first-level magic pattern leather boots. It is almost impossible to draw two magic circles on the magic pattern structure, but Yerkes scholars are so persistent in making some changes, many scholars talk about it, saying that this can only be for no reason Adding some extra spending to the Institute won't do anything.

This time, the opinions of many scholars in the research institute are very consistent. If there is some theoretical basis for changing the shape of the primary magic skill magic pattern circle, at least many magic scholars have done such a thing before, but only changed The range is slightly smaller, but at least some people have made changes, and the Yerkes scholar is just following the path of the predecessors. On this basis, the magic circle of the magic skill 'Elegant Wind' is very different Changes have been made to a large extent.

However, most conservative magic scholars believe that the gap between the first-level magic pattern construction and the second-level magic pattern construction is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two, just like two first-level magic scrolls Superimposed on a piece of equipment, the resulting physical attribute requirements are not as simple as one plus one equals two, so many people think that the Yerkes scholar has gone the wrong way.

There are more and more discordant voices coming from the research institute. When I first came to the research institute to look for the Yerkes scholar, the middle-aged magician I had seen once again found the Yerkes scholar. Trying to persuade Yerkes scholars to change the design idea, originally it was just a pair of boots on a magic pattern construction suit, there is no need to make it better, just engrave a magic pattern of wind magic on it Array, and then do some local magic power increase, that's it.

But obviously Yerkes is not so easy to listen to, he is still very stubborn and sticks to his plan.

Right now, for Yerkes and me, the most important thing is to find a skill that consumes very little mana, so as to ensure that the carrying capacity of the wind wolf leather boots will not exceed the standard.

Walking out of the gate of the Tower of Pride, the starry sky above the head is bright, and the two rivers of stars intersect in the night sky, like two gorgeous scarves inlaid with broken diamonds.

It was still a bit chilly in the late spring night. There was a figure leaning against the outermost marble pillar of the Tower of Pride. I had excellent eyesight. From a distance, I could tell that that person was actually Ivan...
