Mysterious journey

Ening nodded and placed the butterfly bottle next to the microscope.

"Making a totem is actually using silver to simulate a living thing. How to simulate it? We must first understand the physiological structure of the living thing before we can successfully imitate it."

He stretched out his index finger and slowly moved it in the air.

The fingertips drew streaks of silvery white light in the air, forming silvery white lines.

The lines were slowly dissipating and fading, but before they faded completely, all the silver lines drawn by Aining were completely combined into small six-shaped symbols. All six characters are quickly combined freely to form an irregular heraldic-like figure. It's like each oval insect egg is wrapped in a large circle.

"This figure represents analysis. It is specially used to analyze the structure of living things. It can activate the analytical ability of your brain to achieve the purpose of quickly analyzing living things. We call it analysis technique. These are the three basic techniques of the Silver Lantern Master. Form 1. I will give it to you later."

Aining pointed at the figure in the air, and a wave of ripples spread out, and the figure suddenly shot into the fluorescent butterfly inside the bottle.

Soon, silver lines appeared on the body of the fluorescent butterfly.

Aining explained: "Generally speaking, analyzing a living thing requires enough knowledge, experience, and accumulation. If the accumulation is insufficient, the analysis technique will not be able to get many results. After all, this is just a quick analysis. It is only suitable for For the Silver Lantern Master who is more familiar with this kind of creature."

Garen on the side nodded and looked at the butterfly in the bottle attentively.

"Now I am analyzing the body system of this fluorescent butterfly. What systems does its life consist of? This fluorescent butterfly's survival system, which is the most basic instinct. The flight system and the defense system. Three parts. It consists of three parts in total. And none of them are difficult.”

Aining flicked his fingers, and the silver lines on the fluorescent butterfly's body suddenly faded away.

"Next, I will simulate the basic units of the three-part system respectively. At this time, I need to thoroughly study the biological cells and understand the principles before proceeding. Because I have previously analyzed and studied butterflies, I omitted this step."

Aining walked to the long table in the unit factory, bent down and pulled out a large black box from below, opened the lid, and found a whole block of silver bricks inside. It's square and upright, and looks exceptionally smooth and new.

Aining picked up a silver brick and started drawing in the air with his other hand. Soon another figure was carved out by him.

This time, it was an extremely complex figure, like rows of mathematical formulas, or an article with an unknown text.

While Aining was writing the graphics, the silver brick on his other hand began to melt slowly, turning into a mercury-like liquid, floating above his palm. Fusion into a silver ball.

"This is the second basic technique: manufacturing. I am now manufacturing different units of three systems together, so it is a bit more complicated. These graphics are actually used to attract silver and copy it according to the principles and scenes in my brain Come out, so we call this technique: copying. Anyway, whatever you want to call it, that's your business."

Garen stared closely at the teacher's movements, nodded, and said nothing, for fear of missing any small movements.

The silver ball in Aining's hand quickly disintegrated, revealing three small balls inside.

Three small balls form a triangle, spinning rapidly, seemingly as a whole.

Aining pointed at the three small silver balls and said: "These three things are the three basic units of the system I created. Although they look the same on the outside, in fact the internal structure is very complicated and completely different. What I want to do now, These units are sent to the unit factory, copied in large quantities, and then assembled to form the three major simulated systems. Assembly requires the third basic technique: integration."

Garen nodded slowly.

"There are three steps in total: analysis, production, and integration. Three techniques are used to control and guide each one, right? Teacher."

"That's true. The whole thing looks very simple. All you need to do is use silver to copy and simulate the creature. These three spells are the foundation of the foundation, and all totems are made from them. No matter how complicated the totem is, You have to go through these three steps." Ening put down the silver ball in his hand. "Of course, after all this is completed, there is one final step."

"Is there one last step?"

"Of course." Aining smiled, "After the three steps are completed, the integrated silver totem is just a model made of silver, but the living thing itself uses food as energy to support its own activities. And what about the totem? Want to Activities naturally require energy. This requires our final step.”

"What is that?" Garen asked.

Eining dropped a unit into the unit factory and began tweaking and replicating it. While answering.

"The final step is the infusion of energy, which we also call activation."

"activation?"

"Yes, this is the foundation of all silver lantern masters. Activation was also called ignition in ancient times. Ignite the silver lamp. This is the origin of the original title of our silver lantern masters." Aining explained.

"Then how to ignite it?" Garen asked.

"That is, using our fundamental talents." Aining pointed to his head. "Here, everyone who can become a silver lantern master has a special qualification. Our power is intangible and cannot affect any substance except silver. But it has the magical effect of activating silver."

"No wonder the silver lantern master chose silver as the material" Garen suddenly understood.

"Activation is actually very simple, but the effect of the lit totem will be different depending on the qualifications." Aining said with a smile.

"So what are my qualifications?" Garen asked slightly expectantly.

"Unfortunately, your qualifications are very ordinary. I checked you quietly at your home." Aining said frankly with a shrug. "In other words, the totem you ignite will not give the totem any additional effects."

Gallon also expected that Vindman's qualifications were very average, and it would be difficult for his son to have genius-level qualifications.

"Are the totems of those genius-level silver lantern masters very powerful?"

"I have seen the totem of a top genius silver lantern master, which is an auxiliary owl. This genius's qualifications give the totem three times the power of the original body." Aining recalled slightly, "There is only half a human on the other side. The tall owl, with its terrifying power, actually confronted another lion totem and finally defeated that lion totem. He tore the lion into pieces."

"Can an owl defeat a lion?" Garen could also imagine such a weird scene and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. You are still far away from the genius level. But your advantage lies in precision cartography. Your strong precision cartography ability is enough to make the totems you create have excellent stability. Master-level precision cartography It will also be very useful for difficult totems and repairing totems. If your craft is successful, you can take over the work of some well-qualified genius silver lantern masters, help them create unactivated totems, and collect profits. Of course, the premise is that you must be able to analyze the principles thoroughly." Aining comforted him.

"Is this still possible?" Garen's eyes lit up and he nodded seriously.

"Let's start by explaining the principles of analytical techniques to you first." Aining started explaining the details to Garen without any delay.

The two masters and apprentices gathered in the laboratory for a whole day. Apart from eating, drinking and defecation, I basically stayed in the laboratory and did not come out.

With Aining's careful teaching, Garen gradually understood some of the common sense and secrets of the Silver Lantern Master.

Silver lantern masters generally have no books and teach by words and deeds in order to prevent their knowledge and inheritance from being leaked. Every silver lantern master can actually be said to be a biochemist. Their qualifications and talents are the tools of research.

In four days, as the fluorescent butterfly totem slowly took shape, Garen witnessed all the steps in the completion of the entire totem step by step. From analysis to integration, all steps are divided into many small steps, which are extremely precise and detailed. Especially the final integration, under the guidance of his teacher, he used master-level precision drawing to combine step by step into tissues, and then combine the tissues into organs and systems. Finally, it is completely assembled into a complete butterfly totem.

Finally, it’s time for the final activation.

************

Garen stood quietly in front of a small table in the laboratory, looking at the silver fluorescent butterfly totem on it.

The totem is lifeless, without any vitality. It looks like a delicate silver model, beautiful.

Garen looked to Enin on the right, who nodded slightly towards him.

"I'm starting."

Garen stretched out his index finger and gently pressed it on the surface of the fluorescent butterfly.

"Kandas Vipera (The pull of all things). Shirvasse (Silver is above, the end is the new life)"

As he sang softly, a faint silver halo slowly rose from behind him.

"Hildapest (where I am) Lense (i.e. live)."

Garon's voice fell, and the room fell silent.

The two of them looked at the silver totem quietly, with a trace of disappointment flashing in their eyes.

Did it fail?

The same thought emerged in their minds.

Garen also understood that if he could not activate it for the first time, it meant that his qualifications might not even be considered ordinary, but only the lowest level.

"It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time." Aining comforted him. "Just master-level precision mapping skills are enough to ensure that you will not be bad in the future."

"This is the only way." Garen nodded, feeling helpless. The silver halo behind him slowly dispersed.

"Let's go eat first."

The two walked out of the laboratory one after the other.

Garen took one last look at the butterfly totem on the table and sighed slightly. Turn around and close the door behind you.

Snapped!

Suddenly a small sound came from behind.

Garen was shocked.

In an instant, there was a silver light behind him. Countless dazzling silver lights were projected from the room, illuminating his back like a silvery white.

Just behind him, the silver butterfly on the table slowly flapped its wings, struggled a few times, then fluttered off the table and began to fly slowly.

The silver light on the butterfly gradually faded, turning into a deep blue like a living creature. The fluorescent butterfly flew gently, slowly flew over, and landed on Garon's shoulder.

Garen turned his face to look at the butterfly, with a hint of excitement and joy in his heart. Stretch out your index finger, and the butterfly immediately flies up and lands on your finger.

"successful"

"Congratulations." Aining stood at the top of the stairs and turned around to look over, with joy and relief on his face.
