My Magic Age

During the period after returning to the Imperial Capital from the Yero plane, apart from taking classes at the Royal Academy of Magic, I spent most of the time hiding in the laboratory of Scholar Yerkes, repeatedly testing the simplest elementary magic patterns. Regarding the problem of matching the energy-gathering associated magic patterns, Yerkes scholars have put a lot of effort into the outline and structure of these magic pattern structures in order to make them sufficiently delicate and compact.

He likes to design these magic pattern structures on ankles, wrists, auricles, finger joints and other insignificant places. Generally speaking, senior inscription masters will not choose these parts to engrave magic pattern structures. The reason why Yerkes scholars designed these elementary magic pattern structures in these places is to avoid future conflicts with those intermediate and above-level magic pattern structures.

In addition to the previous 'Easy Wind', subsequent Yerkes scholars have successively designed auxiliary primary magic pattern structures such as 'Heavy Attack', 'Weakness Detection', etc. These magic skills all have a common feature. , that is, the consumption of magic power is extremely low.

He also made some other actively offensive magic pattern structures. The most special one is that he designed the magic skill of 'Fireball' on the back of his hand, and the 'Charged Magic Ring' was designed in the style of a bracelet. On the wrist. The biggest problem with this magic pattern structure with active offensive skills is how to trigger and control it.

Of course, Scholar Yerkes did not expect that the warriors who obtained the magic pattern structure could control the 'Fireball Technique' magic, so he spent some careful thought to dismantle the magic pattern array of 'Fireball Technique' and separated the simplest magic pattern. The lines extend on the thumb and middle finger, and only when the warrior clenches his fist When you turn your head and clasp your thumb on your middle finger, you can trigger the magic pattern of the 'Fireball Technique'. After a short period of energy storage, a fireball is released. Although this small fireball is not very powerful, it can It has unexpected effects during combat.

Every time I successfully design a magic pattern construct, Scholar Yerkes will take me to the back streets of the Tower of Pride to find a commoner who looks like a good match. No matter what he is doing, sometimes he is Young street women are sometimes vendors pushing grocery carts, and sometimes they may find a body carrier waiting at the door of a bar. If they are selected by us, we will also ask for their opinions and even give them They have some small money, such as a few silver coins, not too much.

Regardless of success or failure, there will be no loss to these civilians. The lucky ones will get a free magic pattern structure. Maybe in their future lives, this magic pattern structure will bring them more or less benefits. some help.

Sometimes, even if a magic pattern is successfully tattooed on the experimenter's body, the Yerkes scholar will make some changes based on the magical effect of the magic pattern. Of course, it is not every day that there is such an experiment in drawing the magic pattern structure. Most of the time, I still have to make the magic pattern suit of the 'Devil's Fang'. I don't know how many orders the Yerkes scholars have received. It felt like there were so many wind snakes in his laboratory that I even doubted for a while whether those demon hunters would slaughter all the wind snakes in the Ziqing Mountains if things continued like this.

My life is so busy. Catalina and I silently count the days, quietly waiting for the magic airship that will dock at the airport outside Pereira in half a month. The tauren Luka and Kalantso and others were preparing to take this airship to Tandon City.

The light rail in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley has been completely set up, and the first mining car that can carry stone has also been built. After several experiments of carrying stone, it has been proved that the stone rail laid in the underground cave has The light steel rails are still very convenient. These mine cars can operate without any power. First, let the anxious woman take care of her.

The dwarf slaves living in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley are very satisfied with their lives. This is mainly reflected in:

The living environment. These dwarf slaves now live in stone chambers in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley. This is completely in line with the daily living habits of the dwarves. The dwarves like to dig out huge holes in the mines and then build underground cities inside.

For the quality of life, for the dwarves, they can eat the roughest food and do the heaviest work, but they cannot live without fine wine on the table. There are nearly 60,000 barrels of golden cider stored in the underground warehouse for these dozens of dwarves to drink. They will probably never be able to drink it all in their lifetime. The golden cider on the table every day is the meaning of their lives.

In pursuit of their ideals, dwarves have an innate persistence in blacksmithing. The dwarves consider themselves to be natural blacksmiths, so they engage in forging work not only to make a living, but it can almost rise to a level of faith. This kind of pursuit, in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley, in recent days, Bernd has moved all the facilities of the blacksmith shop in the orc village to the underground warehouse, and built a brand new blacksmith shop in the underground stone room.

Probably no one expected that after half a month of recuperation in the cave, the old dwarves who were dying on the coffin board would actually get up from their beds one by one. Maybe it was because life became more comfortable, maybe because there was good wine. Moisturizing, the four old dwarves stepped off the hospital bed one after another, and actually started to help Bernd build an underground blacksmith shop.

Because the minotaurs Ruka and Justus would appear in the Hierro plane, they could not live in a rented house in the imperial capital. They had been living in an underground cave recently.

Occasionally I would run into the underground caves and look through the Hextech blueprints stored in the stone chamber.

Many times, Catalina would accompany me here. When she came to the underground cave, she would run to the blacksmith shop that was being expanded and ask Bernd and a few old dwarves some questions about the blacksmith shop.

After checking the information in the stone chamber, I pushed open the door of the stone chamber and found that there were only some Hierro natives outside sorting supplies in the square. Catalina could not be seen, so I had to walk to the blacksmith shop.

The underground blacksmith shop has not been completely built yet. Two days ago, two old dwarves took it upon themselves to find a natural wind tunnel in the cave, so Bernd prepared to build the furnace flue in the blacksmith shop. , it seems that it was just built today. As long as this flue is connected to the wind tunnel, the large amount of thick smoke produced when the blacksmith shop smelts iron will not spread throughout the cave and choke people.

Bernd was leading a group of Hierro natives and goblin slaves to inspect the flue. It seemed that the flue was a little blocked. He was driving the goblin slave and asked it to get into the air duct to check the situation. That flue The wind tunnel was built into the stone wall and was a little too narrow, not much bigger than a dog hole. Only a thin goblin could get in.

"Hey, Bernd, how is the preparation of the blacksmith shop?" I said to Bernd.

After I planned to say hello to him, I took Catalina back to the imperial capital. In the stone chamber of this blacksmith shop, there are more than a dozen goblins tied with chains who are digging the stone chamber next to the rock wall. It seems that Bernd thinks that the stone chamber of this blacksmith shop needs to be expanded a little bit.

Bernd saw me walking in from the outside, his eyes suddenly lit up, he rushed over and grabbed me, and said to me: "Jijia, you came just in time, I happened to have something to ask you, you must give it to me this time Get these ready..."

After saying that, he took out a wine bottle from his pocket, and then immediately put it into his pocket. After rummaging for a long time, he finally took out a piece of crumpled parchment, with crooked imperial writing on it: " Twenty large chopping boards, thirty No. 8 hammers, fifteen small hammers, ten carts of coke, twelve magic wind boxes, five bags of clay, solubilizer..."

I can understand from the previous point that there is nothing wrong with the blacksmith needing an anvil and a hammer, but why do I have to buy clay in the imperial capital? And what exactly is a co-solvent? Why have I never heard of it? I don’t know how much Aria knows about these blacksmith supplies. It seems that it is most reliable to ask her to help purchase them.

"Don't worry! Bernd, these things will be purchased for you soon!" I patted Bernd on the shoulder and said to him.

Only when I stood in front of Bernd and looked at his bald head did I feel an inexplicable sense of superiority.

There are also some dwarf female slaves in the blacksmith workshop. Bernd said that these dwarf female slaves can wield the blacksmith's hammer in a decent manner.

The dwarf female slaves sit in the corner of the workshop, carving some wooden shapes out of fine-grained pear wood. Whenever they carve some wooden shapes, they will send them to an old dwarf for inspection. Often the old dwarf They will clearly point out the defects in these wooden shapes. If they can be repaired, they must be repaired with fine sandpaper. If they cannot be repaired, they will be mercilessly thrown into the furnace by the old dwarf.

I found that there seemed to be some carved wooden models beside the old dwarf. These wooden models were actually parts of certain parts of the magic engraving machine. Some dwarf female slaves separated them based on the hand-drawn parts drawings provided by the old dwarf. The parts are carved into wooden shapes.

It's just that these dwarf female slaves are not very good at carving. Even for some extremely simple parts, the wooden shapes they make will have some defects. However, the old dwarves are so strict, and even slight deviations will destroy the rework. This made all the dwarf female slaves look sad.

There are also some dwarf female slaves who are sifting some fine sand. They are wielding square shovels. Although they are doing physical work, they are talking and laughing.

Bernd stood beside me, with his hands on his lower back, bulging his belly, and said to me with a red face: "Jijia, I must build an underground blacksmith this time. Those Hex Technology drawings The shape of the parts is a bit complicated, and many require precision casting molds. We can only train our hands little by little. As you know, we dwarves are not good at wood carving, but if we practice more, we will always succeed. "

I stood aside and asked him strangely: "Wood carvings! Why don't you go find those Hierro people, who have lived in the forest since childhood, and even their clothes are made of bark. I guess they must be proficient in carpentry." "

The dwarf Bernd patted his thigh and said: "Oh! It seems to be true. I almost forgot if you didn't tell me..."

Scones, broth, ale and hammers, these are probably all the dwarves live. They may also sing and dance in some festivals, but their pursuit of casting craftsmanship has never changed.

I secretly asked Bernd what made these old dwarves so motivated. Bernd told me that those old dwarves were probably stimulated by the precision parts in the Hextech design drawings.

All in all, life in the underground cave is slowly changing, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Of course, there is also some not-so-good news. For example, the health of the sixty giant spiders is deteriorating. Maybe they should be given something good to eat.

…

The controversy surrounding Senior Dylan's academic paper had not completely subsided. At this moment, a piece of news was published in the magic newspaper, once again igniting the public opinion circle in the imperial capital.

A clear magic photo was published in the magic newspaper. It was a fight that happened in front of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy that day. It was clear that the inscription masters cast fireballs on me and Ying Li, and I fell down in the street in a mess.

There was also a brief description next to the photo, and the title was even more concise: "Newly promoted junior magic inscription masters were beaten at the Life Magic Pattern Announcement Conference."

The Imperial Capital has never lacked topics of public opinion, but once this news was published, it immediately triggered heated discussions among many high-level people, mainly because the noble lords usually like to pay attention to inscription masters, and this news also contains the content of "Life Magic Pattern", which has attracted widespread attention from the magic world. Then my name appeared again in the mouths of people on the streets.

For this matter, the Magic Union did not give a clear solution, and I did not wait for the apology of those inscription masters. Instead, the Inscription Union sent a magician to come to the Royal Magic Academy to find me in person, comfort me, and then gave me a pass to the Magic Union Library. This Magic Guild Library Pass was the reward I had promised to receive after I announced the "Life Magic Pattern" on the fish skin hood. It was what I deserved.

But then there was news that the "Life Magic Pattern" on the fish skin hood I demonstrated at the demonstration was fake, because it had been a week since the demonstration, and no inscriptionist had successfully made the fish skin hood with the "amplifying mental power" magic effect. The news even exaggeratedly stated that the fish skins in the imperial capital would soon be sold out.

Some inscriptionists even came to the Royal Magic Academy to find me in person, but they were directly blocked by the academy. Those inscriptionists didn't even see me.

The students in the Academy's Inscription Society had some doubts about me, and I didn't have time to deal with them.

As for the other news about me, it was more positive. It came from the Duke of Samoyed's mansion, saying that a water magician from the Royal Magic Academy used "hydrotherapy" to heal three construct knights under the Duke of Samoyed, which means that auxiliary water magicians still have a place in the battlefield of the plane war.

Although my name was not clearly mentioned in the news, many people at the Magic Academy knew that I did it, because this week, the magic caravan with the Duke of Samoyed's emblem waited for me at the school gate every day. The news speculated: I was probably invited to the Duke of Samoyed's mansion to heal the three construct knights.

Alia was holding a handwritten parchment full of various rumors about me in her hand, sitting in front of a desk and looking at me with a smile...
