My Magic Age

Yerkes scholars have their own opinions on the recent disorder in the magic market.

In his opinion, the main reason for the large-scale fluctuations in the magic market was the sudden emergence of a large number of cheap giant crossbow arrows and elementary magic rune boards. He was worried that in this case, the House of Representatives of the Imperial Capital Magic Union would intervene.

But this kind of thing is uncontrollable. The warriors coming down from the battlefield are fighting for their own interests.

I sat down on the chair opposite Scholar Yerkes, put my hands on the test table, and said to him:

"Now that the plane war is victorious, it is inevitable that this kind of second-hand magic weapons and equipment will return to the magic market in the imperial capital. Whether it is the construct knights participating in the plane war or the knight auxiliaries participating in the war, they will all need some practical skills after the war is won. It's a pity that there are so many spoils, and the noble lords are still waiting to take them out in exchange for themselves Meritorious service, raising the title, and making up for the large investment in the early stage of the war. In addition to the limited military pay, the soldiers' interests can only be obtained in private. Some additional wealth. Obviously, these damaged equipment will not be recorded in the register. As for their additional source of income, I think many noble lords can only turn a blind eye to this matter."

In fact, there is something I didn’t say directly. I just want to break the so-called order in the current magic market in the imperial capital. I want magic items to enter civilian families. I want magic weapons to continue to expand their influence in the war against the dark forces of the Abyss. force and play its due role.

Although Scholar Yerkes can always design new styles for primary magic patterns, this does not mean that he is an avant-garde thinker. He is a magic scholar with traditional ideas. I know that he is very interested in metal. I have always been resistant to the magic rune board.

"But this kind of thing has a great impact on the magic market in the imperial capital." Yerkes frowned, and it was obvious that he was a little entangled in his heart.

"Before this, your giant crossbow arrows could still be sold to specific armies. As long as these giant crossbow arrows are not leaked out, they will not have such a big impact on the magic market. At most, other lords will see some legions in the market. In the plane war, bed crossbows were widely used to resist the dark forces of the abyss. I felt that bed crossbows were used with magic crossbow arrows to deal with Nibru. Spider warriors and Naqma warriors are both very effective. This also stimulates other noble lords to buy this kind of magic crossbow arrows in the magic market. However, the giant crossbow arrows in the magic market are relatively expensive, which greatly increases the cost of war. . They will conduct a detailed assessment of the battlefield and only put their troops on the battlefield if they believe there is a greater chance of victory."

He placed a magic drawing of a giant crossbow arrow on the table. He marked every detail with text, and countless leads and notes were scattered around the drawing.

Staring at the drawing, Scholar Yerkes said to me:

"The noble lords began to try to use magic crossbows, which also gave this kind of magic rune-type weapons in the magic market a broader market prospect. In recent months, many inscription masters in the imperial capital have focused on drawing magic giants. On the crossbows, you can probably see those magic crossbows in the magic market and even on the stalls of the free market on the way to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute."

As he said that, he pushed the drawing in front of me and continued:

"But now! A large number of cheap magic crossbows were brought to the magic market by warriors from the battlefield. Now many lords will only buy giant crossbows that sell for no more than actual silver coins. Magic crossbows in the entire imperial capital are unsaleable. A few days ago , Bruce even talked to me specifically about it In this regard, they asked me if I could design a relatively low-cost giant crossbow arrow. Bruce said that someone in the Magic Guild thought that we had a very low-cost giant crossbow arrow design in hand, and asked us to bring it out with the people in the imperial capital. Other inscribers communicate with each other.”

It turns out that someone from above is putting pressure on the Imperial Magic Research Institute, and he must have a good background to be able to influence Vice-President Bruce.

I took a look at the magic drawings of the giant crossbow arrows and said: "Since the single-attribute magic crossbow arrows have appeared on the magic market, then give them the drawings. This kind of magic pattern giant crossbow arrows is different from the traditional hand-carved giant crossbow arrows. There is a big difference in the selection of base materials. If they want to imitate it, they will have to give up Babington completely. The base material of the family rune board workshop, and the magic pattern array on this giant crossbow arrow is not complicated. Even if we don't provide the drawings, this single attribute giant crossbow arrow is easy to imitate. What they said is not needed The magic pattern blueprint is the red copper metal solution. If they can afford the price, I can sell it as well. "

"But this is the biggest secret of the metal magic rune plate. Are you really planning to reveal it to the public?" Scholar Yerkes asked in surprise.

"It's a good thing that someone wants to learn a new type of rune board like metal magic pattern. I have wanted to use metal magic pattern rune board to replace the traditional handmade rune board a long time ago, because the production process of metal magic pattern rune board is more efficient. And the material cost is relatively cheaper,” I explained to the Yerkes scholar.

In fact, even if I don't say this, Scholar Yerkes is very clear that the only thing he doesn't understand is the production process of the metal magic rune plate.

I said to him: "The biggest difference between traditional hand-carved rune plates and metal magic rune plates is that the former needs to engrave the complete outline of the magic pattern array on a rune plate coated with mithril, which is quite Yu drew this magic pattern array twice, and the latter was drawn directly on an ordinary metal plate with metal solution. It only needs to be drawn once to complete. Comparing the two, the magic metal consumed by the traditional hand-carved rune board is many times higher than that of the metal magic rune board. However, the metal magic rune board has more basic seal carving skills for the inscription master. To meet higher requirements, they need to draw the magic patterns accurately, meticulously and coherently. "

"...So even the simplest 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune board, Luke had to practice for a long time before he could barely draw it." Scholar Yerkes said, this may be the doubt in his mind. After several years of experience, After working as a magic assistant, he finally realized the difference between me and other inscription masters.

With his character, if he had been in the past, he might have been unable to tolerate a magic assistant who couldn't even draw the 'Fire Gathering' rune board. However, seeing this shy and dull young magician standing here calmly, It seems that Scholar Yerkes' irascible personality has changed a lot.

This magical assistant named Luke has been listening carefully to our conversation about rune boards and magic pattern construction, but he never interrupted from beginning to end.

I glanced at the young magic assistant, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Just practice more. The most important thing about this kind of metal magic rune board is to have one that doesn't need to be used all the time." The engraving pen dipped in ink needs to be sharper, and the drainage channel must be opened wider. After all, the copper metal solution is more viscous than the magic ink, and the flow will stop if you are not careful. Luke, you are learning. Make a metal magic rune plate?”

"Yes, Senior Jijia." He looked a little shy when he spoke.

Hearing him call me senior, I couldn't help but ask: "Are you the new student of the Royal Academy of Magic?"

"Yes, Senior Jijia," Luke replied.

I took out a magic engraving pen from my pocket, stuffed it into his hand and said, "Then this pen is for you. This is a magic engraving pen specially used to draw metal magic rune plates. It will make you The lines drawn are smoother.”

"Well, it's a pity that I'm not very proficient in it." Luke took the magic engraving pen a little embarrassed and said to me.

I felt that Scholar Yerkes needed a magical assistant by his side. In order to give Luke some encouragement and cultivate his interest in inscriptions, I simply took an ordinary steel plate from the test bench and found a bottle of Refined by Senior Vernon of the magic red copper solution, picked up a magic engraving pen, and said to Luke: "Haha, I can't help with other rune boards, but when it comes to the 'Fire Gathering' rune board, I haven't been able to help since I was a child. You know how many paintings I have done, I am very experienced with this rune board.”

As I said that, I picked up the magic engraving pen and dipped it in some red copper solution, and began to draw the magic pattern of the 'Fire Gathering Technique' on the iron plate. While I was drawing, I explained: "First you have to start from here...and then like this... …In this way… it’s done in one go, remember to be consistent, there must be no accumulation of ink at the turning points, and a certain amount of space must be reserved for the gem base when finishing the pen.”

In the end, he skillfully took out the gem base from the drawer of the experimental table and stuck it on the rune board. He used tweezers to pick up a piece of magic crystal fragment and put it into the gem base. In an instant, a blue flame burst out, and Luke was stunned. He looked at me and said: "It turns out that it is just as Scholar Yerkes said, the 'Fire Gathering' rune board is so simple under your pen."

"It's good to be proficient."

After I finished speaking, I gave him the position on the test bench.

Luke looked at the magic engraving pen in his hand, mustered up the courage to stand in front of the test bench, and began to continue practicing.

Scholar Yerkes and I returned to the full-covered magic pattern structure, and the topic also turned to the magic pattern structure. Now that I have the idea of ​​using a magic engraving machine to engrave this elementary magic pattern structure, To obtain the support of Scholar Yerkes, only he can make some minor changes to the structure of the construct without affecting its attributes.

I reached out and tapped on this full-cover armor, and said to Scholar Yerkes: "In addition to improving some of the strength, physique, and agility of the knight, this primary magic pattern structure is almost the same as an ordinary full-cover armor. There is no difference between the armor, but this kind of increase in the warrior's own strength and physical fitness The high-quality magic pattern structure is exactly what I need most at the moment, and after simplifying the magic pattern lines, I want to try to use the metal magic pattern rune plate to make this primary magic pattern structure. The total cost is controlled at around thirty to forty magic crystals, or even lower.”

Scholar Yerkes stood aside and listened carefully to my story. I said: "You also know that magic pattern construction has always been an expensive magic item that can only be owned by noble lords. Magic pattern construction is not suitable for ordinary noble families. It is a huge inheritance for the descendants to inherit, and many noble families cannot even afford a set of elementary magic pattern equipment."

Yerkes scholars are also deeply touched by this.

I continued: "The magic pattern construction is difficult to purchase. In addition to the high price, the inscription master's long manual production cycle is also a factor that restricts the magic pattern construction. The normal production cycle of a magic pattern construction is about a week, and many Nobles who want to own the magic pattern structure must even make a reservation from the inscription masters."

Scholar Yerkes said proudly: "An excellent inscriptionist will always have endless orders for magic pattern construction." After speaking, he glanced at me.

I smiled and said to him: "Perhaps this most common primary magic pattern structure will soon break the shackles of insufficient supply."

Although he was a little surprised, he immediately understood what I meant.

As a supporter of traditional magic, he has always been opposed to my applying the technical principles of the metal magic rune plate to the magic pattern construction. He was about to dissuade me, but I was the first to say: "In the Green Empire, there are many magic patterns. All warriors come from civilian families, but without a certain chance, it is difficult for them to become knights. "

When it comes to the fact that it is difficult for civilian families to escape from constructing knights, Scholar Yerkes finally had some feelings. He lowered his head and pondered.

I continued: "Right now, plane wars are raging, but many lords would rather hide in the imperial capital and wait for the opportunity than lead the Construct Knights to the battlefield without being sure of victory. In the final analysis, the problem lies with these lords. We can’t afford to lose. Pensions for the casualties of the construct knights, expensive magic pattern constructs, various unrecoverable materials on the battlefield, etc., everything requires a lot of gold coins.”

"So I want to reduce the production cost of the primary magic pattern structure. In addition, I also have selfish motives. I just want to arm my group of barbarian slaves with this primary magic pattern structure to give them greater power on the battlefield. And stamina, being able to draw the string of the bed crossbow a few more times will make the battle easier.”

Scholar Yerkes glanced at me and said to me: "If they are those barbarian slaves, are you wearing the black iron armor of the Naqma people?"

I said, "Yeah."

"If it's the black iron armor of the Naqma people, we can also expand the simple magic lines appropriately, which can also improve some magic attributes, but the improvement is very limited..." Scholar Yerkes said , explaining to me the principle of the flow of magic elements in the magic lines with gestures, and he didn't care whether I understood or not, he just kept explaining.

It seems that he has no objections to the improvement of the Naqma black iron armor. He asked me for a set of Naqma black iron armor to put in the laboratory. Every piece of the bulky Naqma black iron armor is available. They weigh dozens of kilograms and are nearly three meters high when placed together in the laboratory...
