Chapter 4 Tool Man Silas(1/2)
As long as you are a civil servant, you will be idle no matter where you are.
District 8 is not the core area of the Forbidden Demon Prison, and there is no particularly heavy work in normal times.
Debang's main criminals are usually locked in the first few core areas, so Jiang Bei, as the biggest leader in District 8, really has nothing to do. Just let Turner and some team leader deal with trivial matters.
I took time to have some lunch.
Until dark... Jiang Bei stretched his waist and sighed that this was another fulfilling day.
After hitting Silas in the morning, he kept lying in the room to study the skill book at hand.
...
In the context set as he knows.
Silas did induce this stupid Bai Tian to send him an ancient book during his time with Lux.
It was written by Duran, the late and outstanding sculptor of Debon, who carved the Colossus of Justice, and it was through this book that Silas finally understood his most special ability to copy other people's skills.
A young man is useless!
I know that District 8 is closed to Silas.
I also know that Silas will get this ancient book.
Jiang Bei, who had been rushing for his life, could not remain indifferent, so he started to fight Silas that night, and then forced himself to borrow the book. Poor Silas had just learned a little bit of fur.
Sure enough, this book is extremely special.
From the book, Jiang Bei found a solution to the magic fluctuations in his body, which was to release the magic power in his body by making skill scrolls. However, these magic powers did not explode, but were just stored, and there was no need to worry about activate the magic-exploring stones everywhere here.
...
“As stated in this book…”
"The Forbidden Magic Stone is actually not a way to suppress magic, but to absorb magic."
Read the skills book in your hands.
In addition to the hundreds of skill volumes sandwiched inside, the book introduces some of the magic foundations.
The most important thing is to introduce the characteristics and usage methods of the Forbidden Magic Stone, otherwise... Silas would not have learned to use the Forbidden Magic Stone chains in his hand to copy skills.
"But Silas..."
"It seems this guy has been learning a bit, right?"
...
Jiangbei continued to flip through the book and thought about it carefully.
Silas's copying ability... is essentially a storage of the stolen magic power that has been fixed in the magic stone shackles in his hand. When it is to be used, it will be released again to achieve the purpose of copying.
But this copy is one-time.
It can be used if it is stolen, but it still needs to be stolen after using it. It only seeks effectiveness, not to understand it very much.
But Du Lang, who wrote this book, did not teach this in the book.
It can be seen from Galio, created by Duran.
This battle stone statue carved from the Forbidden Magic Stone... Duran arranges fixed skill energy and carves it on Galio's body. Galio absorbs magic power by himself, and then releases it according to the preset arrangement and combination to form the most direct combat power.
...
"Selas is a brainless person who steals the magic power and energy arrangement are all one-time."
"Durang pre-sculpted the energy arrangement of the skills on Galio, but the source of magic power is not his own. The advantage is that the magical colossus "Galio" can be reused."
"As for me... I draw the energy arrangement on the enchanting paper, which is similar to the direction Duran carved on the Forbidden Magic Stone. What's better is that the magic power used is my own, and I have stronger initiative!"
"Well, it's almost the same in essence, but there are many differences."
"But in these three directions, the upper limit of the road I'm going should be the highest."
"As long as there are enough skill volumes in the skill book, I will have combat power far beyond my level, and the factors that can limit me... are only time."
...
Jiang Bei muttered to himself for a while.
It was obvious that Duran had a bifurcation in him and Silas.
The question is... the magic civilization in Runeland has lasted for thousands of years, and countless geniuses have been born in these thousands of years. Why have I never heard of it before? Who can make a skill volume like me?
Jiang Bei has indeed thought about this question.
He has not yet grown to the point where he feels smarter than the top powerhouses of all eras, nor has he been crazy enough to ride his face as soon as he travels through time. The most important thing is the skill book he has in his hand, which Du Lang also mentioned in the book.
...
Arrange the energy of the skill and copy it on certain items?
In fact, from ancient times to the present, people have been trying this kind of idea, but only Du Lang has gone the farthest on this road.
This genius, a scientific researcher, wrote in the book... His most proud work in his life was "Galio". The most regrettable thing is that he failed to create more "Galios" for some reason. Therefore, his main research topic in his later years was how to move from customization to mass production.
It is not difficult to make a magical colossus like Galio.
Even if the amount of banned magic stone materials required is huge, Debang, a specialty banned magic stone, can provide it.
What is really difficult is... If one hundred 'Galio' colossus is created as a special combat force, and who will provide the massive amount of magic power needed to participate in the war by the day of the national war?
The Demacia Federation, which has always forbidden demons, does not have a magician army.
The enemies that invade Temang will not take the initiative to send energy to the magical colossus!
So what Duran thought of was... replacing the Forbidden Magic Stone with new materials, making super individual weapons that are the same as those of magical colossus, but are more popular, easy to mass production, can inject energy on its own, and can easily carry and use.
Use enchantment paper instead of the forbidden magic stone?
This is Du Lang's attempt, and there are experimental records in the book.
But the topic of enchanting paper... Du Lang could not proceed halfway, because there were too many problems encountered, and Jiang Bei knew about all the problems, and he actually solved them here.
...
The first is the issue of magic power storage.
Jiangbei discovered this before... If the prepared skill book is not stored in the skill book in time, it will be completely scrapped within three or two minutes. It is estimated that many people on this road will also kneel here.
But Duran solved this problem himself.
The first owner of this skill book in Jiang Bei's hand was Du Lang... The materials used on the upper and lower covers were special, and Du Lang seemed to have carved some obscure and unclear patterns on it, successfully achieving the goal of keeping magic power fresh and not losing it for a long time.
However, there are too few precious materials used in the upper and lower books.
Du Lang wrote in the book that Debang had only collected a little bit at the beginning, and he made it into a two-page book cover, and there was not enough raw materials... mass production was just empty talk.
...
The mass production plan of super individual weapons encountered fatal problems at the beginning.
Du Lang forced the plan to go forward, and the second problem that followed was... Skill book can be regarded as a gun, and the "skill" as a bullet is also difficult to solve.
You should know that the energy arrangement of skills is extremely complicated and difficult to replicate 100%.
It's like Lux...
Although she is familiar with the energy arrangement of her awakened skills, releasing skills and replicating skills on certain items are two concepts.
Want to be the ultimate perfection and replicate it 100%?
First of all, you must have a deep foundation in carving or painting. The energy arrangement of replicas cannot be successful if you have a slight difference.
Secondly, it is a magician, and a magician who has awakened his skills.
...
Combining the identity of an artist and a magician?
This is actually not difficult, but unfortunately, it is still unlucky. Debang always adheres to the policy of banning demons. It is just to defil the demons. The infamous Demon Search Legion has long killed such people. Such people... probably can only appear outside Debang.
More importantly, Du Lang can only produce one skill book that can achieve the purpose of keeping magic power fresh!
This means that Duran’s mass production plan has completely failed.
His lifelong brain crystallization can only turn a magician into a pervert of his kind, and this pervert is probably not a Debon native.
...
Magic research is borderless, but the people who study it have it!
Duran did not want his research results to become weapons for other countries to invade Debang, so he took the initiative to stop the topic of enchanting paper, but only recorded it in the book to seal the power of Debang.
I guess Dulang himself didn't expect it...
Therefore, after passing away for a few years, in Debang's Forbidden Demon Prison, there was a weirdo like Jiangbei who made a living by drawing small yellow pictures before traveling through time. He also got the...single super skill book he made by chance.
...
In fact, strictly speaking, Jiangbei does not meet the conditions set by Du Lang at the beginning.
Because he did not awaken his own skills and energy arrangement, he was just a demon devil at the bottom. Without awakening skills, he naturally could not engrave the skills on the enchanting paper.
To be continued...
