Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 493 344. Dragon Transformation Technique

Darkus was still looking at the slate, while Drusala, who had followed, walked around behind the machine. The moment she walked around, her face showed an expression of shock and astonishment. She had just felt a huge surge. The wind of magic, I just didn't expect... She appeared in front of Darkus with an energy stone as big as an elf's head in her hand.

"Don't make such an expression." From the corner of his eye, Darkus saw Drusala appear. He no longer looked at the stone slab, but smiled at Drusala with a dumbfounded expression. At that time, Drusala was like Jack the mouse holding an object and showing various expressions, with an indescribable sense of humor.

"My Hecate, this is the first time I have seen such a big energy stone." Drusala changed her expression and looked down at the glowing lumen stone in her arms.

To be precise, this Lumen Stone is beyond the garbage created by human spellcasters, and it is also beyond the regular energy stones of elves. No one except the top elven spellcasters can create such a big thing. Before, it was in Lauren Luo The energy stone that Lun Amanvir saw was the size of an egg. Perhaps this lumen stone was a secret ball, the product of a black box machine.

"It's really big." Darkus followed Drusala's words, moved his eyes to Drusala's white neck, and then looked at one of the three balls and sighed.

Darkus remembered that when he was on the Lustria continent, Malekith told him that the difficulty of the plundering ship lies in the energy source, not other things. The hull can be based on the Disasterwalker chariot, combining the chariot's wood and The runes were changed and redesigned to look like a looter ship. Weapons are a better solution. You only need to install a Reaper Ballista in front. The difficulty lies in the engine. Although the magical wind given by the runes can make the plunderer float, it cannot fly, let alone maneuver. Traditional The energy stones are not enough, and the star stones are too precious.

In addition to being able to adjust the direction of the sail in the middle of the plunderer, it can also play a role in collecting magical wind after being engraved with runes. However, this is just like the math problem of water in and out of a water tank. The magical wind supplemented by the sail cannot be effectively used. It can't store energy, let alone support the flight of the plundering ship. But with the Mystic Ball, it may not be a problem. The magical wind collected by the sail can supplement the salary, which is the so-called ability to last for a while.

"Isn't this new energy?" Darkus suddenly thought about something while looking at the ball.

It is completely unrealistic to design a jet-like engine on a plunderer. Physical technology is completely impossible. This is completely beyond the scope. Perhaps we should ask Tzeentch for help. Even if it is made by force, the stability is not enough, it is flammable and explosive, and it is easy to lose all the people and the boat in one flight, and fuel is also a problem. For burning coal, it is better to contact the Zakhan dwarf to buy some black oil and refine it to make it. aviation fuel. We can only find other ways, such as magic.

Malekith told Darkus that after returning to Nagaros, he planned to use the energy stone as the energy source for the plundering ship. At that time, Darkus understood that the principle was like a battery, and he used the energy stone as energy to plunder. The ship is equipped with multiple energy stones connected in series, commonly known as new energy.

"Do you think this stone is equivalent to several ordinary energy stones?" After thinking for a while, Darkus asked Drusala, who was still looking at the Lumen Stone.

"I can feel a very high purity, but the energy stone cannot be quantified, because each warlock makes different energy stones. If calculated according to my standards, it is probably between eight and ten." Drusa After thinking for a while, La said cautiously, she knew that the Lumen Stone in her hand was very important to her lover.

Darkus nodded, he felt it was enough. Drusala was very skilled in magic, and also very proficient in advanced alchemy. That is to say, the energy stone made by Drusala was of a very high standard. Although Drusala's Tao Xing was very high, the black box machine in front of him had a higher Tao Xing. He could understand the slate instructions clearly.

The general meaning is that this is an energy lens machine that converts the wind of magic into solid matter and uses ether refraction to create arcane balls. Moreover, the energy stone created by the energy lens is not a single one and can be switched at the appropriate time. That is, the secret ball corresponding to the eight winds can be produced, but this requires a lens corresponding to the eight winds. And the usage is quite particular, which is different from the conventional way of making energy stones, such as making flame rubies in a volcanic location filled with the wind of Aksha.

This is completely unfeasible. The machine must be placed in a place where Deha energy is abundant. The lens corresponding to the eight winds is used to isolate and purify a single magical wind from Deha energy. This will allow Deha energy to be used as magical energy. sources without causing corrupting effects. Darkus can completely accept this method. Rather than collecting the eight magical winds in their own corresponding and abundant places, it is not bad to centralize them and adjust them according to needs.

"Do you still remember that large fan that can capture the wind of magic and convert magic into energy?" Darkus thought about the wind turbine. He originally thought of using it for arc steelmaking, but now he There are new ideas.

"Of course, dear."

"Can that fan collect Deha energy? This machine requires Deha energy to operate."

"Of course, dear. It just needs a little adjustment. I have already figured out how to adjust it." This time Drusala did not answer immediately. She first looked at the machine next to her, and then fell into deep thought. In the process, she roughly thought of what her lover was going to do, and after a while she answered with a smile.

Darkus nodded again. It seemed that everything was no problem. The machine for making the secret ball was available, and the equipment for providing Deha energy was also available. It seemed that everything was no problem? In fact, it would be no problem even if there was no fan to collect Deha's energy. He remembered that Archaon had visited Naggaroth before he became the Eternal Chosen. There was a place called the Ultimate Dark Altar near the Chaos Wasteland in the north. If If he remembered correctly, Archaon held a ceremony there dedicated to the Four Gods of Chaos. But that was Morathi's territory, a fortress built around the Altar of Ultimate Darkness, and a garrison from Grond.

Moreover, it seems that the arcane ball can not only provide energy for the plundering ship, but also serve as a teaching tool. However, the power of this thing seems to be too much? Darkus couldn't imagine the image of an Aksha Wind Mystical Ball with the power of an aerial bomb being used as a teaching aid in a classroom. If it exploded, it wouldn't be a classroom matter. However, it seems that it can change the combat system of the Druchi sorceresses. Isn't the energy provided by the arcane ball better than that of the dry battery sorceresses? Annasara no longer relies on the sorceresses, but has a bunch of balls floating around her, just like Shakespati.

Darkus is going to take this energy lens machine and bring it back to Naggaros for Druch to use first. As for the lizard people, don't they still have slates? Just let Copti arrange the order. This machine can be copied. It is said to be a black box because the operation is brainless. Just find the Deha energy and put in the required lens. After that... the machine will automatically produce secret spheres like an old hen laying eggs. Moreover, the Lizardmen are temporarily unable to use the Mystic Ball. The magic system includes the Slann Demon Priests, and the war equipment is even more mindless. In addition, there are star stones.

After putting down the slate, Darkus did not immediately look at the matching slate of the third machine. Instead, he looked around the machine. After going around in a circle, he saw two compasses on the ground. It seemed that these two compasses were for equipment debugging. produced in the process. After picking up both compasses, he handed one to Drusala and examined the other.

It is said that it is a compass, but it is not a compass in the traditional sense, the kind that can point north and south, let alone a compass. The compass is engraved with ten-pointed points, but these ten-pointed points are not those of the Chaos Gods. Four of them have rear decorations similar to luan tail flowers, the other four do not, and the two corresponding ones are extremely special. The center of the compass is inlaid with turquoise, and the ten outwardly expanding corners are surrounded by gold coils. The positions of the gold coils corresponding to the ten corners also have corresponding turquoise stones.

At this time, the pointer on the compass pointed to a corner. The center of the corner was engraved with the emblem of the wind of Hexi. Darkus turned the compass in his hand. No matter which direction he prepared the compass, his fingertips always pointed to Hexi. The direction of the wind is majestic and motionless.

Just as Darkus was playing with the compass, Drusala was also playing with it, but instead of doing what Darkus did, she took out the star stone from the bag, and the wind of Qianmen emerged from the star stone. Finally, the fingertips moved a little, but only a little. After all, the wind of Haixi in this folding space was too strong.

"This compass seems to be aimed at the wind of magic." After making a judgment, Drusala said.

On the other side, Darkus no longer played with the compass, but picked up the stone slab on the ground and looked at it. The fact is exactly as Drusala said, the compass does not point to north and south, but points to the concentration of the magic wind. .

The essence of alchemy is the ancient science of collecting, analyzing, and using natural materials to create various items. Alchemical recipes range from concocting deadly poisons and healing potions to creating devastating explosives and body enhancers, alchemy makes anything possible.

Advanced Alchemy takes the principles learned in mundane alchemy and adds a touch of magic. By selecting ingredients rich in magical energy, alchemists can create artifacts so powerful that only spellcasters with second sight can attempt greater alchemy.

It is said that Leonardo, who mastered advanced alchemy, invented many things, such as steam tanks, powdered gunpowder, energy lenses, popular compasses, etc., but this is not the case. It is said that the energy lens and popular compass are masterpieces of advanced alchemy of the Metal Academy, but I don’t know why the title of invention is placed on Leonardo’s head.

However, things are not like this. According to the things beside Darkus, the energy lens and the popular compass are not masterpieces of the Metal Academy, let alone Leonardo, but gifts from ancient times, from ancient times. Holy power. Perhaps after Teclis discovered this place, he brought the instruments and stone tablets here back to Ulthuan, but left those samples with humans. This may be because Teclis believed that humans could not grasp these things?

This involves the essence. As mentioned before, in the early days of the empire, humans avoided magic and believed that magic was evil. Beings such as wizards were often violently persecuted. The clergy of the Church of Sigmar condemned this group as partners of the devil. Everything changed after 2302 in the Imperial Calendar. Faced with the request for help from Magnus of the Empire, Finubar sent a team headed by Teclis to support the Empire.

Teclis found the exiled human wizards and gave them basic spells. In his understanding, all magical winds originate from Isil and are always contaminated. This is unavoidable, but can be controlled by well-trained spellcasters, just like elven spellcasters. He demonstrated the Eight Winds of Magic blowing from Isil, providing the energy that feeds different magical practices.

Staunch followers of Sigmar were angry at Magnus's tolerance for sorcerers, but Teclis was so influential that he believed the new generation of sorcerers played a vital role in defeating the armies of Chaos.

After Magnus came to the throne, he asked Teclis to create an institution for training wizards, so the Academy of Magic was established in Altdorf.

For each wind of magic, Teclis founded an independent school of magic. He believed that humans cannot master all the eight winds of magic, but they can understand the principles of a single wind of magic through careful study.

However, Darkus believes that things may not be so simple. In his understanding, power is dominant, and there is no so-called good or bad. Deha energy in the hands of Druch has become a guarantee for being intoxicated on the edge of the abyss. In Naga It turned into death magic in Shi's hands, and turned into a twisted and chaotic existence in the hands of those chaos warlocks.

The same is true for human wizards. Before there was a magic academy, humans with second vision either became hedge wizards, wild wizards, or necromancers. But the establishment of the Magic Academy was different. These disorderly wild children became the empire's dependence after being cleared and turned into regulars. Although there were usually troubles, it was better than becoming a chaos warlock or a necromancer.

Teclis' behavior is just like Lilith, which can be said to be of the same origin. Bretonnia and the Empire echo each other across the gray mountains. Second sighters born in Bretonnia will be collected by the prophets of the Lake Goddess, or become female A prophet would either become a son of Bretonnia, and there would be a magic academy on the empire's side.

With a deeper understanding of the world, Darkus did not have any prejudice against Teclis and Lilith for what they did to the Empire and Bretonnia. There's nothing wrong with it. First of all, the birth of a person with second vision is uncontrollable and cannot be changed. Rather than becoming an uncontrollable existence, it is better to contain them and use them for their own use, which can also improve stability in disguise.

There is a sense of déjà vu in disguise. After all, Elsin Alvin’s waystones and spiritual vein nodes need to be maintained. It is completely unrealistic to expect those sparse Sword Masters of Hoth. There are female prophets in Bretonnia to maintain them. As for the empire, the group of mages from the Magic Academy is in charge.

If Darkus succeeds in ruling Ulthuan, and after Ulthuan is stabilized, he will turn his attention to Elsin Alvin, and perhaps he will also establish a magic academy in the empire after exchanging benefits through some treaties. As for these weird things, he would not give them to humans. In his opinion, it is enough to maintain stability, and there is no need for those messy things. Just like Teclis thinks: The water here is too deep and you can't control it.

Darkus felt that his thoughts were a little far away, and he turned his thoughts back to the slate in his hand. The compass is suitable for anyone to use, even without second vision, but the compass also has more advanced uses, such as dividing gold and fixing acupuncture points, and Yin and Yang Bagua. The tablet contains a set of accompanying spells for spellcasters with second sight to use to navigate and locate areas with strong or extreme concentrations of magical winds, magical pivots, magical storms, waystones, spiritual intersections, magic items, and wizards. All within the searchable range.

Compared to the Arcane Orb, the Meteor Compass is a bit useless, but it cannot be said to be completely useless. If this thing is used by the group of Sword Saints like Hess, it will be of great use. If Dakoos takes Teclis, he will also bring this machine back to Ulthuan. The Sword Master of Hoth usually stays in the White Tower of Hoth in the Kingdom of Saffre to learn skills and knowledge, such as the magical slashing skill. Archery... Occasionally, he will go out in the field to protect special people, act as a secret policeman to find Druchi, elven underground god followers, and chaos cult followers hiding in Ulthuan, and maintain the Waystone.

Darkus knew that the Square Mirror Pool was the predecessor of the Academy of Light. He did not let Genevieve in because vampires are maintained by Deha energy. Vampires are afraid of fire and sunlight and rarely appear in the sun when there is sun. Either wearing a hood or relying on the mist of shadows. Vampire skin that has been set off by fire will take at least a few years to recover, and it is sheer suffering.

If Genevieve were here, without the use of spells and without the winds of Hexi, the meteor compass would undoubtedly point to her.

If it is further extended, perhaps the entrances and exits of factories in Naggaroth should also be equipped with meteor compasses. If there are problems, such as when corrupted workers are close to the compass, the compass will react. There must be something on the worker. Either they have been enchanted, or they carry something that can cause damage to the factory, such as a flaming ruby ​​that can blow up the workshop.

Darkus suddenly thought about the polished gold disk salvaged from the Claw Sea. The polished gold disk, which was the size of a grindstone, had no idea how to use it without the accompanying stone slab. Perhaps the polished gold disk was related to the meteor compass. There is some connection, but the polished gold plate is the product of the ancient saint Zongqi, and this folded space, judging from Kukulkan’s behavior, should belong to the ancient saint Tepok, but there is no iconic product in the space, maybe Zongqi Did Taibok help make Qi's polished gold plate?

Maybe the polished gold disk will find what you're looking for like the compass in the hands of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean? However, Darkus did not have the chance to use the spell of the Meteor Compass on the polished gold disk, at least for now. He had to wait for a long time, and the polished gold disk was left by him in Lauren Loren's storm area. Wait for him to return to the new world and arrange for ships to bring back the bits and pieces left in the storm area to the new world.

Finding Mannann and solving the Ship Burial Cemetery may require the guidance of the Polished Gold Plate. In Darkus’s mind, the sea is destined to belong to the elves, and Count Noctilus and the Ship Burial Cemetery must be solved. . The same is true for Mannann. He doesn't want to see Elsin Alvin's human ships wandering around in the vast ocean belonging to the elves. Besides, Lilith's Sunfire Amulet is still in Mannann's hands, but what he will do next is The focus is not on this, the development of Naggaroth's rule in Ulthuan is crucial, but it seems that it can be used to find Asur's fleet? He, the Druchi Navy Grand Marshal, must play some role after all.

"Honey, this compass is very useful."

"Oh?" Darkus became interested.

"There is not only Ji Lun's wind under the sea, but also a small amount of Qianmen's wind. After all, there are many minerals under the sea."

"You mean? Haijin?" Drusali's words gave Dacus another idea. There are indeed minerals under the water, and Haijin was born under the wind of Ji Lun and Qianmen. This means that the landing team can find the sea gold under the water according to the guidance of the meteor compass, which means that there will be a steady stream of sea gold invested in Druch's war to act as fuel.

Although sea gold is a metal, it is a bit out of the physical category and is still somewhat different from Ysrama silver. It requires advanced alchemy to be produced with the aid of tools, just like powdered explosives, a combination of physics and magic.

"It is indeed the intersection of six spiritual veins." Darkus couldn't help but sigh. He felt like he was returning to Obion Island. The benefits here were really too great. He put down the stone slab and looked around. After a long time, when other spell casters gathered around, he sighed again, "As it is inside, so it is outside; as it is above, so it is below."

Drusala was stunned for a moment when she heard what Darkus said, and then she thought about the complicated words that Darkus said. The eight short words gave her a huge mental impact. This seems to represent the entire cosmology of alchemy, where the one above, or the one without, refers to the greater universe, including God, nature, and the entire earth. The one below or within refers to the small universe, the soul or the heart. Whether it is God, nature or the mind, the corresponding expression of the inside and outside, up and down, is a unified and harmonious universe, at least before the great invasion occurred.

Colonia, who was walking over, was stunned when she heard what her brother said. She looked around at the machines that were close at hand, and then at the pyramid built by the wind of Hexi, as if it was inside, as if it were outside; As it is above, as it is below, isn't this the structure of this folded space? She suddenly had a new understanding of alchemy. The concept, the universe, the natural universe, and the individual, mind, and soul microcosm are in an integrated, harmonious, and reflective relationship. She uses alchemy to transform, both to recreate matter and to reshape it. soul.

The other spellcasters, like Drusala and Colonia, paused and looked around and thought after hearing what Darkus said.

Darkus also didn't expect that his casual words would have such a big reaction from the spell casters. He knew that these spell casters were thinking, so he didn't make a sound, but shrugged and continued quietly. As he walked around, he wanted to look for other things. After all, this folding space was full of things related to advanced alchemy. What if... it turned out that there was nothing. After he walked around, except for behind the wall where Ren was standing, He didn't feel the other slabs.

"Interesting." Darkus came to the wall where Ren was and muttered after touching the Kukulkan scales wrapped around him. There should be a mechanism door in front of him, but it was completely different from what he had seen before on the Lustria continent and Obion Island. This seemed to be a door that required a password to open, because he saw a half-word on the wall. .

"My lord, what is this?" Ren asked cautiously in a lowered voice.

Darkus stretched out his hand to stop Ren, and then looked at it intently. He didn't think that calling Alibaba would make the wall open. In fact, this wall is the most difficult wall he has ever seen, because it is a fill-in-the-blank question, and it is very mysterious, but fortunately, he seems to have seen similar words before.

"There is no falsehood at all, the most real thing is as it is above and as it is below, so everything is born from the same source." Darkus stood there thinking non-stop. After a long time, all the spellcasters After people gathered around and stopped to watch, he spoke slowly.

However, the wall did not respond as Darkus expected, but Ren next to him understood. Ren took out the book he obtained from Obion Island from his arms, and after opening a page, Licking the tip of the pen with his tongue, he connected what he said with the words on the wall. After finishing recording, Renn raised his head and looked at him with confirming eyes. When he nodded, Renn stretched his throat and started chanting in lizard language.

"This is the truth, without any falsehood, it is certain and the most real; below is as above, and as above is as below, thus completing the miracle of the One; all things come from the only inconceivable existence, so all things are born from the same source. "

Amidst Ren's hissing tone and Darkus' amused laughter, the wall slowly opened. After seeing Darkus taking steps to prepare, Franais took the lead and walked in front. The spellcasters fell into a daze again, thinking about Darkus and the meaning of the words on the wall.

Behind the wall is a secret room, neither big nor small, with no equipment or machines. There were only stone slabs, three of which were separated in a triangular layout, with something like a projector placed in the middle.

"Dragon Transformation Technique?" Darkus picked up the stone slab closest to him and read it. As he read more deeply, his expression changed into that of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone.
