Great Nobleman

After making up his mind, Brand opened the book of runes, preparing to learn more about the process of drawing runes.

After turning to the page on how to draw rune No. 1, Brand was a little confused by the simple instructions above.

This doubt is slightly different from the previous doubt that I couldn't understand.

What puzzled Brand was that the method of drawing runes recorded in the book seemed a bit...simple?

"The drawing method of the first No. 3 rune is very simple. Just use the rune pen filled with rune ink and draw it on the rune paper according to the appearance of the rune. Of course, the error must be kept within a certain range. "

so……

Drawing runes is painting? Can you draw successfully by drawing a little bit?

Brand, who read the rune drawing instructions several times, came to this conclusion.

This conclusion was so simple that he couldn't believe it.

It's just drawing. Although the strokes of the runes are a bit complicated, if you don't draw it well at one time, it will be over if you draw it a few more times.

"I'm afraid this book is not a pirated copy?"

Such a thought flashed in Brand's heart.

Closing the book in his hand, Brand glanced at the corner of the book cover.

There is a magical seal of Kaya Imperial Mages Academy there.

——This shows that this book is an authentic book, and the content inside is also guaranteed by the Imperial Master Academy.

After confirming that the book was a rune book published by the Kaya Imperial Mage Academy, rather than a pirated book from a bad organization, the doubts in Brand's eyes deepened.

Is it really that easy to draw runes?

In doubt, Brand suddenly thought of a certain "truth" from his previous life.

Combined with the current situation, Brand felt that he had discovered the truth hidden behind the fog.

——Just as the top-notch ingredients often only need the simplest cooking method, rune drawing also only needs the most common drawing method!

"At least judging from the exams this semester! Runes and Arrays should be a very easy elective subject!"

Brand felt a little happy at this moment.

"It's just a painting, how can this be difficult for me, Mr. Brand!?"

Because there is no special rune pen and rune paper in hand.

Brand immediately ran to the alchemy shop in the academy and spent dozens of magic gold coins to buy a complete set of rune drawing equipment.

That is to say, there is a lot of money now, and Brand was not so rich and powerful before.

He has already decided to make a surprise rune formation study in the few days before the exam.

Then pass the final exam of this semester as an "ordinary candidate"

After returning to the dormitory with the brand new rune drawing equipment, Brand couldn't wait.

After filling the rune pen with rune ink, and turning the book to the page with the No. 1 rune illustration printed on it.

Brand moved his wrist confidently and prepared to try drawing the No. 1 rune.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after carefully observing the illustrations of the No. 1 rune in the book, Brand always feels that the No. 1 rune in the book doesn't look like it was printed, but rather looks like someone drew it by hand. .

But this is not a very important matter, and Brand quickly put it behind him.

Holding the rune pen in his hand, straightening his sitting posture, and comparing it with the appearance of the No. 1 rune, Brand slowly began to write!

The moment the tip of the rune pen touched the rune paper, the lines on the rune pen brightened.

As the tip of the pen slid along the strokes of the painting, Brand was surprised to find that his mental power was gradually being sucked away by the rune pen.

It first entered the rune ink, and finally printed on the ink of the rune paper together with the handwriting.

In a daze, Brand's strokes were a little crooked.

The next moment, a slight repulsion from the ink on the rune paper bounced the rune pen in Brand's hand slightly, and the half stroke of the already completed rune No. 1 also scattered into scattered ink in the blink of an eye.

Brand knew that this should be a drawing failure.

"However, drawing runes will consume mental power?"

Without continuing to try, Brand put the rune pen aside.

He felt that he should have missed the "precautions" for drawing runes.

Picking up the rune book again, Brand read it carefully.

The truth is pretty much the same as he thought.

Brand found simple instructions for drawing runes in the previous chapter on How to Draw Runes:

Runes are the cornerstone of the rules of Farnese Continent, no matter what method is used to draw runes, it will inevitably consume a lot of mental power. Even the drawing of the most basic runes No. 1 to No. 3 will consume 60% to 70% of the mental power of a junior mage apprentice...

After finding the precautions for drawing runes in the book, Brand frowned slightly.

"If the book is correct, the students at the same time as me, in a state of full mental power, can only draw one rune after consuming all the mental power."

This is still considered a successful situation. You must know that any "mistakes" in the process of drawing the rune will lead to failure and waste of mental power, just like Brand just now.

"It seems that you need to practice hard first!"

Practice is the first difficulty in drawing runes.

It is said in the book of runes: "No matter what method is used to draw runes, it will inevitably consume a lot of mental power."

Therefore, every practice is a test of the mage's spiritual strength.

If you don't use potions, it will take several hours to recover after mental power is exhausted

"Although I have more mental strength than my classmates at the same time, I definitely can't bear the consumption of practicing drawing runes. After all, there are only 6 days left before the exam! If I don't use the refreshment potion, I can draw more than ten times at most. "

The grim facts troubled Brand very much, but soon, his brows relaxed again.

Just like what a great sage in the world before traveling said: Practice brings true knowledge!

Brand, who comes from the materialistic world, doesn't really believe in the idealistic statement in the book that "drawing runes in any way will consume mental power".

I just draw a random stroke, how do you know that what I draw is a rune!

"I, Brand, want to give it a try today!"

Taking white paper and charcoal from the shelf next to him, thinking of a certain stroke of the rune in his mind, Brand began to draw.

When Brand dropped the charcoal pencil on the white paper and gently exerted force on his wrist to make the charcoal pencil slide according to the stroke, Brand obviously felt that a large part of his mental power had been lost.

In the next moment, the charcoal pencil also broke into several knots with a "click".

The rapid loss of mental power made Brand dizzy for a while.

However, he responded quickly.

Facts have proved that the book is right!

For a moment, Brand looked serious.

He still underestimated the extraordinary power of the ideal world!

It has to be said that the power of the laws of the extraordinary world is beyond Brand's imagination!

In silence, he threw the charcoal pen and the remains of white paper into the trash can.

Brand picked up the rune textbook again and started to study it carefully.

Although I really want to take shortcuts, but some things seem to have no shortcuts.

Brand felt that there should be something wrong with his mentality in the past two days, and he always wanted to take a shortcut.

But how can there be so many shortcuts in the world!

man! Still keep your feet on the ground!

After thinking about it this way, Brand felt that his spirit had been sublimated a bit.

This should be the so-called: the feeling of clear thinking!

Taking a deep breath, Brand still put down the rune book in his hand that made his head grow bigger.

Then, he completely submerged his consciousness into the simulated world.

At this time, Brand in the simulated world was in a clearing in the forest, beside which there was a clear stream flowing slowly.

There was a long red sandalwood table in the center of the open space, and Brand was sitting there right now, writing and drawing on white paper with a "pen" in his hand that was the same as the rune pens outside.

A lot of waste paper has been scattered on the long table.

These waste papers were crookedly covered with some grotesque patterns.

It can be vaguely seen that it seems to be the appearance of No. 1 to No. 3 runes.

——Brand is practicing drawing runes in the simulated world!

While practicing drawing runes, Brand in the simulated world pouted with disdain.

down to earth?

nonexistent!

As a senior student, only by relying on the simulated world can he barely survive!
