Monster Hunting High School

The several places that Professor Qian pointed out that need to be signed correspond to ‘identity authentication’, ‘entrustment application form’, ‘responsibilities and obligations’ and ‘silent contract’.

When Zheng Qing was signing, he inexplicably remembered that when he was a freshman, Su Shijun had tricked him into clicking the × on the computer. It was in stark contrast to the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

But before his smile could bloom, he was interrupted by a dull voice.

Professor Qian picked up a heavy metal plate from under the table, placed it in front of Zheng Qing with a bang, and then knocked on the table. Several fawn leather straps tied to the metal plate slid aside like snakes, revealing the complex structure above. texture.

"Do you know what this is?" the professor asked, pointing to the metal plate.

Zheng Qing looked at the metal plate in front of him that was covered with fine lines on its surface. Several nouns flashed through his mind, and finally he answered with some uncertainty: "Mithril?"

"The answer is not what was asked."

The professor shook his head, took out a magic scroll from the drawer, untied the silk clasp on it, and unfolded it, revealing an extremely profound talisman inside - or rather, this was no longer a talisman, but a talisman composed of many foundations. A very complex rune system in which runes fit together.

After just one glance, Zheng Qing sighed in awe from the bottom of his heart.

As the saying goes, ‘A layman looks at what’s new, an expert looks at the doorstep’.

This 'system' made Zheng Qing seem to see a master talisman master who was proficient in talisman skills swiping ink in front of the scroll. He seemed to see countless ideas belonging to different talismans under the command of a talisman pen, while cursing and disgusting with the space. Narrow, crowded on one side and lying on the same scroll obediently.

Of course, the Talisman Master he is talking about here is not the real Talisman Master.

Real masters of making magic, such as Qu Shengqing or Hu Gong, can use the simplest and most straightforward runes to describe their understanding of the essence of magic, integrate it into a complex rune system, and give it fresh and real life. ——Every rune in that kind of work is alive and will find the most appropriate way to integrate with other surrounding runes.

A slightly lower-level master of talisman making is like an excellent music conductor, able to determine the presentation of a work on the stage. They can use the simplest strokes and the least consumption to achieve the best rune operation effect, keeping the entire rune system in a state of harmony and balance.

A bad rune master is like a child who has just learned to write. He can only write a few crooked words on a large piece of white paper. Each word is different in size and looks extremely crowded, making everyone who sees it feel a sense of confusion. Silent suffocation.

In addition, there is a kind of 'not-so-bad bad spell maker' - usually a wizard who has reached the level of a grand wizard or even higher - who uses a deep understanding of magic to forcefully squeeze different runes onto the same base plate. The rune system operates normally by allowing magic power to flow between different dimensions.

All in all, in Zheng Qing's opinion, the person who could draw the complex rune system on the scroll in front of him was at least a 'second-level rune master'.

With a bit of greed, he concentrated on analyzing the scroll in front of him, thinking about the connection skills between different runes, and guessing what effect they could produce when twisted together.

Qian Jiuzhou looked at the boy with great interest: "Can you see the effect of these runes? Can you find its core nodes? If I let you reproduce it, you can put it on another scroll. Can it be copied?"

Zheng Qing did not answer immediately.

He lowered his head, and the tip of his nose was almost touching the silk paper on the scroll. The scent of magic, inspiration, silk thread, and cinnabar were intertwined with each other, and penetrated into his nose endlessly. He opened his eyes wide, and followed The weight and weight of the strokes on the silk paper decompose the system constructed by this rune bit by bit in my heart.

Runes are extremely simple symbols.

But it is an extremely complex system.

The simplicity lies in the fact that there are only one thousand, two hundred and ninety-six basic runes that make up the entire rune system. The complexity lies in the fact that the combination of different runes can produce countless different possibilities and countless wonderful functions - and those full of imagination can be combined. The complex functions are simplified into sections of runes interlocking with each other, which is what every rune maker needs to face every day.

Meditation Talisman, very simple.

It is not difficult to use evil talismans or dust warding talismans.

But if you want to make a talisman that allows people to realize the effect of "there is nothing in the first place, where is the dust", it is not as simple as simply drawing the meditation talisman and the dust-removing talisman on the same talisman paper.

Because that verse has a profound Buddhist cultural and ideological background, the producer must have a deep enough understanding of Zen philosophy to find an appropriate 'node' as the core to connect two unrelated talismans.

This core is the ‘core node’ that Professor Qian Jiuzhou just mentioned.

Of course, it is not easy to directly find the core of a complex rune system. Usually, a rune maker will start with a familiar rune and decompose it to the left and right to analyze its true image bit by bit.

Like now.

Zheng Qing started his analysis with the most eye-catching rune on the scroll.

"This is a strengthening rune. It is often used on shields or similar structures. It can resist most physical attacks and magic attacks... Normally, only one strengthening rune in a system is enough, but we can We see this rune appearing three times on the entire scroll! But if we analyze it carefully, we can see that the three strengthening runes are connected to different 'air ports', which means that they do not strengthen the same area... "

Zheng Qing's fingertips brushed in the 'high air' a millimeter away from the silk paper, chasing the crisscrossing runes, murmuring in his mouth:

"...A rune is laid out according to the most 'orthodox' route, and what strengthens it is the shell of this 'device'; a rune sword takes a different approach, and is buried between the runes that control the flow of magic power and the runes that shield mental attacks, and what it strengthens is The 'framework' of the entire rune system; there is also a rune that is very magical. It is alone and not connected with any other runes in this system, but spans the entire rune system...it seems to strengthen all places. But it doesn’t seem to be strengthened anywhere... No, no, it is connected with other runes outside this system... Is this scroll incomplete? "

The young assistant coach looked up in shock.

But he saw the old wizard behind the desk nodded slightly: "Of course it's not complete... You can understand this scroll as a vellus hair on a giant's body... So, you can find this 'hair' Where is the core node?”
