Chapter 295: Wand, Inscription and Senior Magician
The dinner that day was extremely sumptuous, with various local seafood and delicacies from Dorne, and fine wines from all over the world.
Tyrosh and Dornish nobles, magicians, diplomats and wealthy businessmen from other regions gathered together, but the castle owner Witte and the two ladies did not appear at the banquet. The banquet was hosted by Duke Renly, during which little Rose Margaery briefly
After showing up, he left in the name of taking care of the children.
Late that night, the door to the suite of the Duke's bedroom in the castle was opened.
"Water! Water!"
Werther, who was extremely thirsty, went out to look for water. As soon as the door opened, he used magic to extinguish the candles around him. Werther was ordered by the Queen not to use magic to treat the whip marks on his body today, as people would be afraid of being laughed at if they saw it.
The three little maids who were on duty at the door were sitting on soft chairs, leaning against each other and dozing off. When they heard the noise, they woke up and saw Werther coming out. They immediately got up and helped Werther sit on the chair.
"Would you like some water?"
Parida Visama stood in front of Werther, her little hand behind her back kept waving secretly, asking the two sisters to prepare drinking water as instructed before.
"Let's get water!"
Renée Pennymean and Ellie Stangoni spoke at the same time, holding hands and running away laughing.
Sitting in the chair, Werther leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees and supported his chin with his palms, looking at the three little maids.
"You seem to have grown a little taller!"
"Just a little bit!" Parida tried her best to stand on tiptoes, trying to make herself look taller.
Werther: "Eat more meat and more vegetables!"
"Thank you for your concern, we ate well!" Parida smiled, showing off her white teeth.
Parida Wisama, who is 8 years old this year, is the daughter of Nesiso Wisama, the purple dragon priest of the Dragon Cult.
7-year-old Renee Pennymion, her father is Dophas Pennymion, who was the first to be loyal to Werther and is currently the Archbishop of the Dragon Cult.
Ellie Stangoni, who is also 7 years old, is the daughter of Belicio Stangoni, a Tiger Party general who believes in the Dragon Cult and is currently one of the three consuls of Volantis.
They were all related households. When they went to Meereen, the three of them were arranged by their family to serve Werther. Werther knew what their elders had planned, but Werther stuck to his bottom line. After the Meereen incident, he took the three of them with him.
He returned to Tyrosh, taking care of his children while also studying in the castle.
All three of them have mastered the first phrase of "Unremitting Power", but due to their age and lack of magic power in their bodies, they can only blow over the pen holder on the table when released.
Not long after, two little girls came back holding a metal water bottle.
It was impossible to see whether it was wine or water in the silver-white metal bottles. The thirsty Werther didn't care about it. He took the two water bottles and tucked them under his arms: "You are now growing, I will inform the housekeeper tomorrow.
You three won’t have to work the night shift anymore.”
"Thank you Mr. Werther!" The three little girls were very happy. Night shift is the most boring thing.
After Werther entered, Parida asked the two sisters in a low voice: "How much did you add?"
Ruini and Ellie looked at each other, and then they made a figure eight gesture with their fingers.
The next morning, the sun was hitting the ground and the temperature was already very high. Renly and Loras came to the door of Witte's bedroom. Loras was about to knock on the door when Renly stopped him.
Renly looked around, stretched out his hand and used the life detection magic.
After the light of magic disappeared, Renly said to Loras: "There are four living reactions in the bedroom. Three are extremely healthy. The one with weakened vitality is Wert, but I think he can still hold on for a while. Let's go goodbye."
Disturb them!"
The two walked away, and Loras whispered in Renly's ear: "Will Nymeria die if she does this?"
This morning, the housekeeper discovered that there were sixteen bottles of Violin missing from the cabinet in Tyene's alchemy laboratory. Werther and the two ladies could not be found, so he came to report to Renly. Then Renly found three maids and asked them, finally understanding the cause and effect. Nymeria's instructions yesterday were to add four bottles to the water. After Renly analyzed Werther's physique and magic, he doubled the number to eight bottles. That night, the maids did as they were told and added the water to one bottle.
Eight bottles of Dali, but a total of two water bottles were given to Werther.
Renly and Loras had already tried this potion, and Werther was a duke after all. After hearing the cause and effect, Loras was really worried about Werther exploding.
"Can't die!"
After Renly finished speaking, he was worried that Loras would be worried, and then added: "Even if Werther is going to die, I have healing magic, and his life will definitely not be in danger."
At lunch time, Tyene went to the study to take charge of the castle work. Margaery also returned to Renly's guest room to rest. Wert and Nymeria were still in the room.
At dinner time, Nymeria got dressed and received the nobles in the living room. Werther ran to the top of the lighthouse alone, sat on the armrest and watched the sunset and the sea breeze.
This kind of life lasted for a whole week, and today, the day when the wand-making process was compiled into a book, Werther finally got relief.
In the magic school auditorium next to the castle, more than a hundred magicians from all over the world gathered together.
As the initiator of the project and the provider of basic knowledge and theory, Witte is now standing on a high platform in the middle wearing a bright red robe embroidered with flames, with sunken cheeks, dark eye circles, and erratic eyes as he makes a concluding speech:
"We are the first generation of real magicians in Westeros! Although our magic abilities vary widely, there are those like me and Renly who are proficient in the five elements, and there are those from the school who can only shoot a few fireballs. But we
The most valuable thing about a generation of magicians is their determination to explore unknown knowledge!"
On the red brocade behind Vitra, on ten wooden sloping display stands, ten thick hardcover books were lined up. The cover of the first book on the left read "
The Principles and Making of Magic Wands, Volume One".
Witte continued: "We have all kinds of ideas. As long as they come to mind, we will study it. If there is nothing, we will create it. If one person cannot do it, we will work together. The wisdom of everyone has led to today's achievements. Everyone here
Everyone is more or less involved in the development of the wand, so our names will always be written in the almanac."
Witte opened the first page of the ten books with the hand of a mage. Each book has the same content, recorded in the reason and time of writing the book, as well as the names of more than a hundred magicians who participated in this research, at the end
and Gendry Waters, who provided casting guidance.
The scene was filled with thunderous cheers and applause, and everyone involved had a proud expression on their face. There are not many opportunities to leave history in this era.
There are ten books in total. The first nine books cover the basic theoretical knowledge of wands, material analysis, forging and enchantment techniques, etc. The last book records the by-product of this research: weapon inscriptions.
Nowadays, most of the magicians in Westeros, due to their magic qualifications, practice both magic and martial arts in order to improve their strength. Magicians born into noble families have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Frail and old magicians like
Using a wand, in addition to supplementing the magic you lack, can also be used as a crutch, but many young people are unwilling to do so.
Among them are Thoros, Ashara, Robb and Jon, who are unwilling to give up the martial arts and knightly honor they have acquired over the years. Ashara has two top-quality weapons, the "Dawn" of the Dane family and the one given by Werther.
"Dark Sisters" and the other three have always used ordinary stainless steel swords. This material can hardly withstand the ravages of powerful magic.
The magic circle was developed by Witte based on the magic trap of the destruction system. Nowadays, various formations have been developed and it is one of the required courses for magicians.
Therefore, after completing the research on wands, many magicians simplified the manufacturing theory of wands and used magic-guided metal to cast small magic circles on long swords and other weapons. The power is not as powerful as wands, and it is not as powerful as Witte's undisclosed
With enchantment, weapon inscriptions consume less materials and are cheaper, and can also temporarily add magical properties to the weapon.
Thoros' long sword is now engraved with flame runes. He usually stores a little of his magic power on the long sword. When using it, he can use the magic power to ignite the sword without consuming his own magic power. Although it will not be used for a week,
The magic power on the inscription will slowly dissipate, but compared to using your own magic power, the improvement is very large, such as being able to use other types of magic.
The two weapons behind Robb's back, the long sword with bloodletting serrated teeth used to deal with beasts, are also engraved with fire runes, and the greatsword used to cut people is engraved with four kinds, fire, lightning, ice and hurricane.
Even if you can only activate one type at a time, the duration is not long, but it is enough to use it at the most critical time.
Jon's long sword was engraved with illusion magic. He specializes in illusion magic. Now when he activates the magic on the long sword, he can slowly swing the sword and leave a string of purple shadows on the sword, making it even more confusing.
The enemy, combined with his phantom movement and sword skills, the enemy who reacts slowly does not know how to defend himself.
Other young mages who did not want to use wands also engraved various magical runes on their weapons. Regarding the duration of the inscriptions, Thoros, Robb and Jon all chose the magic-conducting one, second only to Valery.
The gold of Asia Steel.
This kind of inscribed weapon needs to be injected with magic power and activated with magic power. After activation, it will be accompanied by powerful magic. It has the same effect as ordinary weapons held by ordinary people. Even if it is activated by others, it will be hurt by the magic on the weapon.
Just like Nymeria will blow herself up and injure herself with Dawnbreaker, the use of inscribed weapons is limited to magicians who practice martial arts, and the market for Valyrian steel swords still cannot be shaken.
Werther then opened another red brocade, and underneath was a pile of gold nuggets. When the magicians saw the pile of gold, they didn't look greedy at all, but were full of curiosity. No matter how much they said they were poor, the magicians actually had money in their pockets.
There is no shortage of money. No matter how poorly he lives, he is still richer than the average wealthy knight. Even if he earns more money, his expenses will be larger.
Witte said: "This research project was initiated by the Magic School of Tyrosh, and all the magicians here are invited to participate. While you will gain knowledge and honors, the Magic School of Tyrosh will also provide financial rewards."<
/p>
"Duke Werther is so generous!"
Many people plan to use the gold to make wands or inscribe weapons, and the remaining gold will be converted into golden dragons to treat guests to dinner.
Can Werther really be so generous? Sitting on the rostrum, Renly smiled. As soon as he saw the black tights Werther was wearing today, he knew that he was going to deceive people.
The magicians who were originally officially awarded titles by the king come from all over the world. This time they are studying more advanced magic theory in Tyrosh. The wand is considered their graduation achievement. After that, the king will grant them the title of senior magician and issue corresponding brooches.<
/p>
After finishing their studies, they will return to the lords where they work, or return to teach in schools in King's Landing and Old Town. If Witte wants to find a way to retain them, he cannot use force, but can only throw out bait.
Witte: "All the magicians here, no, all the senior magicians here!"
"Hahaha."
"After that, we will go our separate ways. You may go to teach the next generation of apprentices, or work for a certain lord. We may not meet again for a long time, but I hope that your exploration of magical knowledge will not end here."
Werther took out a few strange crystals from under the table and placed them on his palms to show them to everyone:
"This white piece is table salt, this blue transparent crystal is azurite from the West, and this pale yellow octahedron is also natural pyrite from the West."
Witte picked up the last piece in his hand, which was half the size of a palm. It was made up of more than a dozen interlaced, square spirals that were stacked up and down in circles, glowing in seven colors under the sunlight.
"Is this a magic item?"
"No! This is also a natural mineral crystal produced in the West. Currently, the bachelors in Old Town and Tyrosh are studying its smelting method and use value."
Werther put a few things on the table and continued: "Crystallization, metallurgical bachelors who have obtained white steel necklaces and many magicians who have studied alchemy know that this is a very normal phenomenon, so can our magic power crystallize?"
After long-term storage?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Magic crystal?"
"Storing magic power for a long time?"
Wands and inscriptions begin to dissipate as soon as the magic power is injected into them. After a week, they dissipate to the point where no magic power is left. If there is a way to store it for a long time, magicians can come up with and develop more things.
This time Werther really didn't know the basic theory, so he could only deduce it from the theory of enchantment storing magic power, and he couldn't use the souls of animals or humans as precursors.
Witte: "Tylosi Magic High School, the next topic is magic power storage! Let me make it clear first, in fact, I don't know whether the thing that stores magic power is a crystal or a stone after the actual research is done. At present,
I just call it a crystal, maybe it's a big metal lump."
At the end of the meeting, more than a dozen magicians from the city were willing to stay, and a dozen more wanted to go back to the lord to submit letters of resignation.
The two magic schools in King's Landing and the Academy have agreed to send a second batch of magicians to Tyrosh for further studies next year, and the number will definitely not be as large as this time.
Gold has high magic conductivity but is too soft, so magicians coated the staff with various hard metals as shells, and added various wooden handles, combining their favorite shapes and family emblems, and finally
There are dozens of molded wands and no two of the same style can be found.
Qyburn's wand has gold inside, a stainless steel shell on the outside, and the outermost layer is wrapped in white wood. The armrest and the wand body are T-shaped, making it look like a wooden crutch.
As the librarian of King's Landing Magic School, Moroya usually spends a lot of time reading books and studying theories, and never participates in battles. Therefore, her wand is only made of wood and gold for its lightness.
Dr. Marwin from the academy has a simple wand shape, a long round iron rod with a wooden handle. He and several mages first brought ten copies of wand books back to the academy, and then planned to join several Yashai mages.
Going on a long voyage to the sea, he plans to visit Asia again in his lifetime.
