As soon as he returned to Green Tower Manor, Roy locked himself in the room.
Although ten sets of six-star magic gold suits were difficult to obtain, Tracy still put them together overnight. Plus a dark stone pillar, they were placed in front of Roy one after another at this moment.
Suddenly, a flower flashed from the oil lamp on the wall, jumping into Roy's shining eyes, matching the light of joy.
What he gained at the Golden Skull Auction House this time was beyond Roy's expectation.
The price of ten sets of magic gold equipment was not enough even after paying out all the money in Mal'er's hand, but now he got it into his hands without spending a penny. Moreover, a precious totem pole was added to it!
These things, if calculated casually, are enough to buy a street in Munich or a dozen large estates! If you live a simple life, even if you drink and drink every day, you will not be able to spend it all in decades!
And now, Tracy just gave it to herself!
This makes Roy feel like he is dreaming when he thinks about it now.
Roy took a deep breath, took out the wooden box from the space ring, opened it carefully, and took out the wand of Phoenix Elfwood.
If the value of ten sets of six-star magic gold armor and totem poles can be tolerated by Tracy even if they are lost, then Roy can be sure that the wand in his hand will not suffer any loss.
, which she cannot bear.
And because of her own words, she allowed herself to bring the wand back so easily?!
Roy smacked his lips, not knowing whether to say Tracy was amazingly courageous or stupid and bold. If it were anyone else, he would have done anything to get such a magic wand!
To get money, you have to do something.
Roy took out a ball of something sticky like mud from the space ring.
This thing is called soft mud vine, and it is a magical plant often used by magicians. Just wrap the soft mud vine around the items that need to be painted. Then remove the excess part, peel it off, and smooth it.
It can turn the uneven surface of the painted magic object into a flat surface.
On this plane, magicians can design and make drafts of magic patterns in advance to avoid unexpected problems when painting magic.
There was only one chance to create a magic wand. No matter how courageous Roy was, he would not dare to touch the wand directly. Therefore, he asked Tracy for the slime vine.
Wrap the wand carefully, cut off the excess part, and unfold the slime vine. Roy releases a small fireball, which rolls gently over the slime vine.
With the high temperature of the flame, the soft mud vine that was still squirming made a sizzling sound. The black and soft body quickly hardened. The extremely fine vine fibers were intertwined and the color gradually changed.
White. After a while, it became a thick irregular white paper.
This is the surface of the wand. There is nothing wrong with it.
Picking up a charcoal pen, Roy bit the tip of the pen and thought hard.
"Which type of magic pattern should be used as a boundary line to maximize the effectiveness of the main magic pattern without causing it to get out of control?"
One magic pattern after another flashed in Roy's mind, and one after another was eliminated.
Fengqi's lightning strikes the Elf Wood. To ordinary people, it may not be worth anything. But to a magician and a magic pattern master, it is a rare treasure. Roy knows better than anyone else how rare such a wand is.
Since he took over this job, he must do his best.
As time passed, Roy used charcoal to outline several magic patterns on the soft clay rattan paper, and finally erased them one by one. Although these magic patterns could serve as boundaries, they were all
It can't achieve the effect Roy wants. Choosing one at random would be a waste of this precious wand.
However, what he really wants is just a vague awareness in his mind. Even Roy himself doesn't know what kind of effect he needs to achieve.
The boundary magic pattern is just a boundary.
Just like the boundaries of a stadium or a competition ground, their function is to comply with the rules of the game. However, they themselves have no effect at all.
In the silence, the ax spirit and the sword spirit appeared in the void beside Roy, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at the dark-haired boy who was thinking hard. The candlelight was swaying, and the distant sky was already dimly lit by the rays of the morning sun. Again
It's the beginning of the day, and the time for practice has arrived.
"What?" Sword Spirit asked, "Can't it be solved?"
Roy rubbed his messy hair, leaned back on the chair, took a deep breath, and shook his head.
"I remember that a long time ago, I had a discussion with the staff spirit," said the sword spirit. "He said something that I think will be of some help to you."
"Oh?" Roy suddenly became interested.
The several great weapon spirits are all outstanding in their respective fields, and their strength is unfathomable. As a magician, Roy has always looked forward to receiving the teachings of the staff spirit. Now when he heard the sword spirit relaying what he once said, he was naturally very interested.
"The staff spirit said that the five major elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. This is true whether in the magic field or the knight field," the sword spirit said, "this is the law of nature."
Roy nodded.
"But..." Sword Spirit smiled slightly, "Nature is not static, but moving."
There was silence in the room.
"No more?" Roy was a little dazed.
"No more," Sword Spirit said, "That's all."
"Sports..." Roy stared blankly at the white paper on the table, his eyes wandering back and forth between the three main magic patterns and the wand, and he muttered repeatedly.
As he looked at it, suddenly, his eyes lit up!
"I understand!" Roy shouted.
It turned out that I had entered a misunderstanding from the beginning. In my own concept, the boundary magic pattern was the boundary magic pattern. Its function was a cage, a side line, and it only played an auxiliary role for the main magic pattern. But when I really jumped out of this misunderstanding
, I just discovered it myself...
Nature is in motion! Everything interacts with each other in motion.
This is true whether the elements are in harmony with each other or in conflict with each other.
So, is a main magic pattern not a boundary magic pattern? And a boundary magic pattern, isn't it a main magic pattern? As long as the two can conform to the relationship between natural movement and elements, which one is the main magic pattern and which is the boundary line, it is not possible
Can it be transformed as needed?
The elements are mutually reinforcing each other and are not dead. The magic pattern should also be alive!
It was extremely stupid for me to limit myself to the boundary magic pattern. No wonder I always felt something was wrong. It turned out that I hadn't turned a corner!
Due to the material limitations of the wand, it can only accommodate three main magic patterns. Therefore, the owner will directly design the remaining positions as boundary magic patterns.
But that's because the traditional magic patterns are so complicated and huge that they can no longer accommodate more main magic patterns. If it can accommodate four or five main magic patterns, I'm afraid people won't even consider the boundary magic patterns. Just let the main magic patterns
As long as the patterns match the relationship between the elements.
To put it simply, the main magic pattern is the boundary magic pattern. The boundary magic pattern is the main magic pattern!
And even though I clearly have a more refined life magic pattern, I actually fell into the dilemma of other people's traditional magic patterns. I blush just thinking about it.
Once he figured out this joint, Roy felt his eyes suddenly brighten.
Almost without hesitation, he selected a life magic pattern named [Golden Horned Rhinoceros] as the boundary magic pattern between the two major magic patterns of wood and fire.
The Golden Horned Rhinoceros is a sixth-level metallic monster with a body made of steel and iron, and it runs rampant.
In terms of attack power, this monster has nothing special except for its powerful collision and its rhinoceros horn that can release lightning. Its magic pattern is only a fourth-level magic pattern. Its power is equivalent to a fifth-level magic. Not to mention that it is engraved on
On a treasure like the Phoenix Elf Wood, even if it is engraved on an ordinary four to six-star rare wand, it seems a bit useless.
However, among the life magic patterns of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros, there is an extremely powerful defensive magic pattern - Jin Ge Iron Armor!
This magic pattern can condense the golden elements at the moment of activation, attaching a thick iron shell with spikes to the golden horned rhino's body. This layer of iron shell not only allows the golden horned rhinoceros to defend itself in critical moments.
It can withstand the opponent's fatal attack, and it can also launch iron thorns to counterattack the enemy.
Since the gold element is the heaviest element, the magic power required to condense the golden armor is extremely high. Therefore, from the completion of the research on the magic pattern to the present, Roy has always put it aside without using it. A fifth-level magic core
The magic power can only last less than three minutes, which is too luxurious for him now.
However, it is perfect to use this magic pattern on this wand now.
Those who can use this wand are not magic gods but also sages. Not to mention the magic crystal inlaid in the wand, even their own magic power is enough to support the consumption of the golden armor. Moreover, no matter how high the level of the magician is, his body is
Fragile. When faced with close combat, an instant defensive magic pattern can definitely be called a talisman!
Thinking of this, Roy did not hesitate any longer.
He first used a charcoal pen to outline the rough lines of the magic pattern on the soft clay rattan paper, and then added a dozen confusing magic patterns. After making sure that the magic pattern would not exceed the limited range of the wand, he took it out
Draw the magic pen and start drawing the magic.
The first painting magic was performed on a spiritual stone slab.
The highest level Roy could draw before was only the fourth-level magic pattern. Although after being promoted to a mage, his magic power and perception were enough to support him in drawing the fifth-level magic pattern, but this was the first time he had actually drawn it. He was not sure.
Bottom line. There are many detailed issues that need to be experienced and solved in practice.
Therefore, the spiritual stone tablet used for painting magicians' practice is the best choice.
This kind of slate, produced in the Duantian Mountains, is an excellent template for practicing magic painting. No matter how high the level of the magic pattern is, as long as it is drawn on the spirit stone slab, even if it cannot be stimulated, the spirit stone plate will still be able to communicate due to the spiritual power of the magic pattern.
As for condensing light, as long as the light emerges, it usually means the success of the magic pattern.
This characteristic makes the spirit stone board very popular among painted magicians. Although its practicality is not as good as that of low-level magic painted boards such as magic iron and magic copper, it is favored by painted magicians because of its lower price and easy purchase.
Teachers use it extensively.
In order to complete this task, Roy prepared hundreds of spiritual stone tablets.
Sure enough, the first time I painted the magic, something went wrong.
The level of Hui Mo Ink is not enough!
Roy's magic painting ink is the ordinary magic painting ink he bought in Meiding City. It can only draw magic patterns below level 4. Magic patterns above level 5 require special ink. In addition to the ink body containing
In addition to strict requirements for magic power, there are also requirements for the element ratio of different magic patterns.
The golden horned rhinoceros' golden armor pattern requires extremely strong gold elements. Therefore, when preparing the ink, it is also necessary to strengthen the proportion of gold elements.
A few months ago, this alone would have stumped Roy. But now, for him, who has learned basic magic patterns and accepted the teachings of Williams, it is no longer a problem.
.He can almost memorize the commonly used formula chart of Hui Mo Ink.
Two parts of wire grass are extracted with heavy mercury, and then dropped into the melted red lead ore water. After cooling, they are added to the cabbage grass gray water in a ratio of one to seven, and finally blended into the basic magic painting preparation prepared from eight kinds of materials.
Here is the fifth-level magic ink that focuses on gold elements.
After solving the ink problem, Roy tried again, but still failed. The problem this time was that the magic pattern could not be controlled.
The structure of the fifth-level magic pattern is far more complicated than that of the fourth-level magic pattern. For the same spiritual power line, the fifth-level magic pattern requires twice as much mental power and perception as the fourth-level magic pattern. Although the magic pattern of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros only has a few
to twenty lines. However, it is not as easy as imagined to complete it in one go.
In order to overcome this difficulty, Roy spent a whole day.
It took twenty spiritual stone tablets to master the energy line. It took fifteen to conquer a circuit. It took twenty-three to conquer a node where three lines intersected. It took another thirty to conquer the guidance line and function line.
.More than a hundred spirit stone tablets were used, and it was not until the last few that he succeeded.
When Roy slowly returned his nearly exhausted mental energy to the sea of consciousness, it was already the night of the second day. More than twenty Eimas who stayed awake and focused during prayer almost consumed all his energy.
After eating something randomly and sleeping for two hours, Roy finally regained some energy.
He picked up the magic wand, closed his eyes, and simulated it several times in his mind. After confirming that it was all right, he picked up the magic pen, mobilized the magic power, and released his perception.
Perception like a tide spread onto the wand, wrapping it tightly. Every trace and every detail of the wand was clearly engraved in Roy's mind, as if the wand itself was the most important part of his body.
The familiar part is general.
Magic power is integrated into the magic pen tip with perception. As magic power is integrated, the magic elements in the ink of the pen tip begin to become active, and there is an unstoppable feeling that wants to flow out.
Roy didn't hesitate and put pen to paper.
The first stroke is a nine-fold spiral. This is a spiritual gathering line. The magic core or the magic power of the wand owner passes through the nine turns and a spiral of this line, like the sunlight under a convex mirror, or the magic in a constricted river.
Like a rushing stream, it is restrained by cohesion. This line is the beginning of the golden armor magic pattern.
To draw this line, Roy used the magic pattern drawing technique taught by Williams - shallow water brushwork.
The science of magic pattern has developed to the present stage. Although the magic pattern structure has embarked on a completely different path from the original life magic pattern. It has become more complicated, more difficult to understand, and less efficient. However, from
In terms of the summary and techniques of some magic pattern patterns, he has achieved remarkable results.
And this is the biggest gain Roy got from Williams and the basics of magic patterns in the library during this period.
The laws of magic patterns are the laws that the astonishingly talented magic pattern masters found out from the chaos of different magic patterns, identified them and concluded them through countless experiments. They peeled off the magic pattern lines with similar functions and deconstructed them.
In this way, modern magic pattern science was established.
Functional lines, spirit-gathering lines, auxiliary lines... Through the use of these basic lines, humans have pushed the direction of the development of magic patterns to a direction that nature cannot produce. Although those magic patterns constructed out of thin air have not yet been able to
Breaking through the first-level magic pattern was enough to make Roy awe him.
Compared with the basic laws of magic patterns, Roy was even more fascinated by the techniques of painting magic.
It was his luck to discover the magic pattern of life. This accidental discovery allowed him to grasp the core of the magic pattern and occupy an absolute height in the magic pattern science. However, in terms of painting magic, he discovered that it was different from the real magic pattern.
Compared with other magic pattern masters, I am just an apprentice who has just started.
In the past, he relied on his own pair of elemental eyes and the strong mental power that was tempered by the daily impact of the energy frenzy of heaven and earth to complete the painting. It was like a child with good talent in painting, although he could not draw well.
It looks good, but there is no skill at all.
It was not until the time when he studied with Williams and completed the repair of Titanic together that Roy realized how superficial his magic painting skills were.
The current development of magic pattern science has pushed the magic painting skills to a very high level. For different types of magic patterns and different elements, predecessors have created countless techniques.
There are rolling stone brushwork, waterfall technique, three-stage brushwork, five-stage brushwork, nine-stage brushwork, vertical and horizontal brushwork, forward hook method, and oblique spiral method, which are named after the characteristics of the brushstrokes. There are also Ace brushwork named after the creator.
Marios technique, Cornell technique, etc.
These brushwork techniques, through the application and summary of magic painting techniques, have greatly reduced the difficulty of painting magic lines. Especially some magic lines that are difficult to complete can be completed accurately through these techniques.
This is a huge treasure trove for Roy, who has just learned painting magic. During the period of studying with Williams, he spent more than half of his time learning various magic painting techniques.
The shallow water technique is one of several techniques he has mastered.
This technique was created by a painter with poor perception. Its characteristic is that through the orderly adjustment of mental power, the painter's perception is integrated into the brushstrokes like a clear, shallow stream of water.
, drive the magic power to construct the arrangement of magic pattern elements.
This technique can not only save mental energy to the greatest extent and amplify perception. It is also most suitable for painting magic with small and subtle magic patterns.
Roy turned his wrist lightly, and the magic pen in his hand landed calmly on the wand.
At this moment, Roy's perception and the magic of the pen tip were closely combined. Countless subtle elements quickly came together with the ink.
One turn, two turns. The golden lines flow out from the tip of the pen, undulating. After nine mountain-like turns, it smoothly ends in a spiral pattern.
Almost as soon as Roy put away his pen, this magic line lit up. Even without the Eye of Elements, Roy could feel the gathering of spiritual power from heaven and earth.
Roy did not dare to delay at all, quickly put pen to paper and started drawing the second magic line.
The drawing of magic lines must be formed at one time. Otherwise, a single magic line will be like a carriage that has lost control, sliding freely from the top of the mountain. When the groom pulls the horse out, he will be faced with just a pile of debris.
The second magic line is completed, let’s start the third one!
Roy was concentrating on it, without even blinking his eyes. As his mental energy was exhausted, thin beads of sweat broke out on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
Even if he uses the most energy-saving shallow water technique, the complexity of the fifth-level magic pattern exceeds his load. Fortunately, with the help of the Eye of Elements, he can most intuitively see clearly the hidden meanings in each line.
The combination of elements greatly eases the difficulty of drawing the demon.
With more than thirty lines, Roy used seven different brushwork techniques.
When the last magic line was completed, Roy grabbed a handful of etching powder and sprinkled it on the magic line.
The white dust turned into a cloud of golden light and quickly merged into the ink. A sizzling sound came, and the surface of the wand seemed to be carved by an invisible carving knife, and like a spark, it was invisible along the way.
As if the gunpowder fuse was burning, it quickly carved out criss-crossing, circling and flying magic patterns.
When the last bit of golden light penetrated the end of the magic pattern, the entire magic pattern suddenly lit up.
"Success!"
Roy was so surprised that he subconsciously injected magic power into it.
With a bang, the light from the wand in his hand flowed, releasing an even greater force. Roy's magic power almost tripled.
A larger and crazier spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together, and the surging golden elements quickly condensed into shape. A black iron armor, like a large black umbrella full of spikes, suddenly opened and floated in front of him.
Roy was instantly stunned.
Just relying on the fluctuation of magic power, he knew that the power of this "Golden Armor" magic had far exceeded that of ordinary sixth-order golden-horned rhinoceros. Only the seventh-order golden-horned rhinoceros king could reach such a level!
Fengqi Lightning Strike Elf Wood is indeed a rare treasure! Even if it is not the most suitable metal magic for the wand, the increase in power is terrifying and unbelievable.
After a long time, Roy grunted, swallowed a sip of saliva, and his eyes widened.
"Can this thing... not be returned?"
However, this idea only circulated in his mind and was quickly thrown away. Although Roy felt that he was a little shameless at times, he was not so shameless after all.
What came to mind were Tracy's beautiful and expectant eyes.
After completing the boundary magic pattern between the main magic of the wood element and the main magic of the fire element, the rest is simple. Between the big lightning strike and the two main elements of the magic pattern, all that is needed is two identical wind elements.
Magic pattern.
This time, Roy chose the magic pattern of the fifth-level magic beast [Phantom Eagle]. This magic pattern is extremely stable and is suitable for use as a boundary magic pattern. Moreover, if activated alone, it can release seven [Light Feathers]
】, as an attack method in close combat.
Compared with the Golden Armor, this level 4 magic pattern is not difficult. However, due to the limitations of the wand, it still took Roy a long time.
By the time all the painting work commissioned by Tracy was finally completed, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
At this time, the deadline for camp registration has arrived.
