Path of light

Chapter 700 701. The Word of Runes

After returning to Castletown by boat, Roy took a car to the Magic Guild in the upper city without stopping. He walked into the Magic Guild to inquire. Seeing the magic apprentices wearing magic robes coming and going, smelling the fragrance of magic pattern herbs emanating from the room, and listening to the sound of magic apprentices bargaining with the shopkeepers, Roy was a little dazed. Thinking about it, he had been away from the Elf Academy for several years.

Walking up the stairs, Roy held the teleportation pass given by the great magician Grams in his hand, and met the magic guards without any obstacles.

The teleportation hall is located on the top floor of the Magic Guild Mage Tower. Roy strode in with the road in his memory.

A magician came up and stopped Roy with his hand.

"Kid, where do you want to go?"

Roy handed over the teleportation pass in his hand and said, "Moyo Bamba."

The teleporter saw the teleportation pass in Roy's hand and carefully checked its authenticity. Seeing that the signature on the teleportation pass was Grams, he looked at Roy with some surprise, and then said to him:

"The recommender on this teleportation pass is the great magician Grams. Who are you...?"

"Grams, my friend, we have fought side by side in the dark land." Roy replied.

The mage put his right hand on his left shoulder...

This is the etiquette between magicians.

Only when a magician shows respect to the other party will he make such a move.

Roy hesitated for a moment. He felt that he was no longer a priest and was not suitable for the etiquette of priests, so after thinking about it, he still saluted.

When he separated from the great magician Grams, Grams told Roy that as long as he had this magic pass, he could go to any elven city with a portal.

The great magician Grams was Roy's recommender, and the recommender was also a nominal guarantor.

The Magic Guild recognized that elves with teleportation passes could use the teleportation gate, which only meant that those with teleportation passes were eligible for teleportation. If they wanted to teleport between cities, they still had to pay a high teleportation fee.

Of course, what Roy lacked the least now was magic crystals, so he could still accept teleporting once in a while.

Moyobamba City was a rainforest city in the south of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. If Roy wanted to go to Wopeye City, he had to pass through Moyobamba...

Roy didn't even walk out of the magic tower in Moyobamba, but passed through the teleportation gate here and came directly to Wopeye City.

...

Wopeye City has always been called the magic city of the Silver Moon Kingdom by the elves.

The entire city is dominated by magicians. Most of the elves living in this strange town are engaged in magic-related professions, and there are also many magicians in the city.

The streets and alleys here are full of magic elements.

Roy walked out of the magic tower of the Tree of Life and came directly to a house according to the address given to him by the great magician Grams.

Grams happened to be conducting a magic research in Wopeye City recently, so when Roy came to Wopeye City, he found this place according to the address given to him by the great magician Grams.

Roy found a doorbell outside the gate. After ringing the doorbell, a silver moon elf girl wearing a magic apprentice robe ran out to open the door. She was holding a fir staff in her hand and looked a little weird.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm Roy. I'm here to visit the great magician Grams. Does he live here?"

"Then wait a minute, I'll go ask."

The little girl's voice was very soft and sticky, and her voice was also very nice.

She turned and ran back. After a while, she saw the great magician Grams walking out of the house quickly.

The gate was opened by the great magician Grams himself. Grams stepped forward and gave Roy a big hug. He smiled and said to Roy, "I thought you would come last week. It only takes two portals to get from Castletown to Wopeye. Why did you take so long?"

"Let's go, I'll show you my magic laboratory first!" Grams said excitedly to Roy.

After that, he took Roy into the house. Several magicians and magic apprentices followed them obediently.

This house was not a wooden house that the elves liked, but a house built of rocks. Grams' laboratory was in the living room of the house. There were six blackboards around the living room, which were covered with various magic symbols. The desk in the middle was covered with magic parchment.

Roy knew nothing about magic, so naturally he couldn't understand those magic symbols.

Grand Mage Grams pointed to a magic parchment on the test bench and introduced it to Roy:

"Magic itself... is actually a complex pattern composed of countless magic runes. Every magician is studying runes to obtain more magical effects, and I have been studying... how to apply magic runes to combat. This is the magic subject I chose."

Roy rested for a while here at Grams, waiting for Grand Mage Grams to arrange the things at hand, and then he heard him say:

"Roy, let's go! I'll take you to see Master Tias!"

"He asked me about you at the auction of magic pattern construction base materials a few days ago!"

"He said that the ice dragon leather armor has been made. Let's try it on first. If there is no problem, we will take it to engrave the magic pattern array." Feng Feng Huohuo, the great magician of Grimes, came over, and an assistant held a pair of Magic robe, trotting behind him.

Roy put down his tea cup and stood up with the great magician Grimes.

"That's really nice."

…

There was a carriage parked at the gate of the yard. When the carriage driver saw Grimes walking out of the yard, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, walked around to the carriage, opened the carriage door diligently, and asked the great magician Grimes to get on. .

Archmage Grimes took Roy to the leatherworking workshop.

There was a group of Silver Moon elves surrounding the door of the workshop. Some of these Silver Moon elves were dressed like businessmen.

Roy was a little curious, so he approached the great magician Grimes and asked him in a low voice:

"Why are there so many people waiting?"

Grand Magician Grimes pointed to the wooden sign hanging at the door of the leather workshop and explained: "Today is the day when the leather workshop sells leather armor. These elves come from all over to buy leather armor. Tias The inscription master is very famous in Wopeye City, and the leather armor he makes has always been in short supply. "

There were two elf apprentices standing at the door of the workshop. Probably because the store was too crowded, they stood outside the door to limit the flow. Only one person could come out so that only one buyer who was queuing outside could enter.

Grand Magician Grimes walked over and whispered a few words into the elf apprentice's ears. The elf apprentice immediately went to the workshop to report. When the apprentice came out of the workshop again, he was followed by a leatherworker. He led the great magician Grimes and Roy into the leatherworker from the side. Inside the courtyard of the square.

In the yard of the leather workshop, many leather craftsmen are busy processing leather.

Tias, the master leatherworker, was standing next to a large boiling pot. He was wearing only a leather apron and his upper body was naked. He was holding a piece of softened leather in his hand and quickly stuffed it into a shaping mold.

He moves very skillfully and has a unique rhythm.

When making leather armor, especially breastplates and shoulder armors, trousers, boots, etc., the leatherworker must have a strong sense of space.

When sewing leather armor, each piece of leather armor is not flat, but needs to be made into a shape that best fits the body according to various parts of the human body, and then sewn together, the thick leather armor will be like metal armor, with extremely Fitted design...

In addition, the leatherworker must be careful enough in handling the joints of the leather armor.

Elbows, armpits, ribs, waist and abdomen, etc. not only need to be soft enough, but some places also need to be layered or cut off.

Grand Magician Grimes and Roy watched for a while. After Master Tias finished handling the matter at hand, he motioned to his assistant to untie his leather apron, then put on a linen robe and said to him The great magician Grimes waved to Roy, and kept complaining as he walked:

"I made this set of ice dragon leather armor two weeks ago. I thought you would come to pick it up in advance, but I didn't expect that I have to wait for you for two weeks... This high-end dragon leather armor is placed in the workshop warehouse. It makes me nervous every day, not because of how valuable it is, but because it’s really going to be lost, where can I get such a big piece of ice dragon leather!”

The warehouse door was opened by Master Tias. Inside were rows of exquisitely crafted high-grade leather armors. There were even some magic halos on the leather armors...

Roy's eyes fell on a large magic-sealing box in the innermost part of the warehouse. Tias led the two of them inside and stood in front of the magic-sealing box. The lid of the box was not locked. After opening the lid, there was a A set of ice blue thick leather armor. This set of thick leather armor is obviously much thicker than ordinary leather armor, especially the shoulder armor and chest armor look more obvious.

"Try it on. If it doesn't fit, I can change the size..." Master Tias stared at Roy and said.

Before Roy came to the leather workshop, he only wore a linen shirt and bloomers. Now he only needed to put the leather armor on his body.

Soon a whole set of ice dragon leather armor was put on Roy.

Fits perfectly, no need to resize.

Moreover, Master Tias also considered that Roy might grow taller and stronger in the future, so this set of ice dragon leather armor also left some room for Roy to grow.

The tailor-made large leather armor suit is indeed different. Each piece completely matches Roy's physical characteristics...

After a few activities, he even took out the flail and the Book of Judgment, gently waved his arms twice, and raised his legs.

"How is it?" Grimes asked Roy.

“Very comfortable.”

Roy praised sincerely.

"Of course, Master Tias' craftsmanship in making leather armor is definitely the best in Wopeye City."

Archmage Grimes praised.

…

Coming out of the leather workshop, Grimes said to Roy:

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Master Altis."

Altis is giving a public class in his apartment.

The assistant next to Master Altis brought Grimes and Roy into the class. The two walked in from the back door and sat down in the corner.

At this moment, the inscription master Altis is standing on the podium, and there are some magic runes made of metal on the table of the podium.

Master Altis quickly arranged the runes in a special way to form a magic pattern array, and then quickly disrupted the order and quickly created another one.

The young magicians in the classroom exclaimed one after another...

Aldis remained silent the entire time.

The movements of his hands were so fast that the young magicians could only stare at the blackboard with all their concentration, taking notes quickly with their hands.

Unfortunately, because Altis moved so quickly, many magicians failed to write down the arrangement of these runes, and another combination of runes already appeared on the blackboard.

"This is an open class for junior inscription masters. These magic pattern formations are actually in the book, but for these junior inscription masters to slowly understand it by themselves, I estimate that they will need at least several months to practice. Now Altis arranged these magic pattern arrays on the blackboard, and the magic pattern arrays he laid out were basically the optimal solutions," Grimes explained to Roy in a low voice.

Roy nodded as if he understood. He was listening carefully to Master Altis's explanation of the magic pattern array.

In fact, magic and magic have many similarities.

Magic uses magic spells, divine magic uses prayers, magic requires drawing magic patterns, and divine magic requires drawing divine patterns.

They look similar on the surface, but are actually quite different.

The essence of magic is the combination of runes.

Different runes can be combined to create powerful magic, and charms are created to inspire specific spells.

The essence of divine magic is the power of faith.

After learning so many magical arts, Roy discovered that when performing magical arts, prayers and the power of holy light form magical arts. Divine patterns were created by the priests to stimulate magical arts...

Roy was a little distracted at this time. When his attention fell on Master Altis again, he heard Master Altis talking:

"The inscriptionist has to arrange some runes in a specific way, so that the magic pattern array can gain some unexpected magical power."

"...This is the rune language I have been exploring."

When he said this, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and all the magicians' attention was focused on him.

He glanced around, leaned against the podium, holding two metal runes in his hands, and then said very casually:

"Let me give you an example. Everyone knows that this symbol represents thunder. If we engrave this magic rune on a weapon, we will create a magic weapon. When warriors use such a magic weapon to attack the enemy, the weapon will activate The strength of the arc depends on the warrior's affinity for the lightning attribute. "

"If you use this rune as a basis and engrave a 'cluster' magic pattern array on the weapon, then the weapon will cast lightning when used!"
