prehistoric calendar

Hao carried Li on his back and looked back at Li's tearful face from time to time. His heart was filled with pity.

Since that day, Li has been calling for his brother from time to time, but Hao has been speechless. Every time, he can only lower his head and say nothing, and then hold Li in his arms or carry it on his back.

After a few times, Ai suddenly walked into the humans. The humans all moved away from Ai in fear, but Ai didn't care and walked to Hao's side, looking at Li who was crying on Hao's back.

She suddenly smiled and said to Li: "Little one, do you want to see the shining flowers?"

Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Ai Yi stupidly. Ai Yi suddenly stretched out her hand, and a small ball of light appeared on her palm. In this light, a lifelike crystal flower appeared. Li's eyes widened.

Looking at it, her eyes were full of surprise for a moment. The nature of a child made her forget to cry for a moment, and she subconsciously reached out to pick up this shining crystal flower.

Hao immediately wanted to stop it, because this crystal flower was a kind of magic, and magic meant absolute danger to humans. However, Ai Yi shook his head slightly, Hao stopped hesitantly, and Li reached out to touch it.

After touching this crystal flower, which was as warm as jade, Li held the crystal flower in her hands. She was so surprised for a moment that she carefully looked at the crystal flower that refracted sunlight.

Ai Yi opened his mouth to Hao and moved his lips slightly. Hao did not hear the sound, but he had the message Ai Yi conveyed in his mind.

"Don't worry, this crystal flower is made of water and glass, and is condensed with magic power. It's very safe, don't worry... On the other hand, if you keep a straight face, the children will be scared to cry even if they don't want to cry.

How about a smile?" Ai Yi said.

The corner of Hao's mouth twitched. Not only did he smile, but he looked ugly. Ai Yi couldn't help but cover her face. She put her hands on her hips and said to Hao: "You are not very old, why are you so old-fashioned? Come on, give me a smile."

The corners of Hao's mouth twitched again, which made Ai really unhappy. She walked directly in front of Hao, rubbed his face with her hands, raised his mouth, showed a smile, and looked around

Look, he finally nodded reluctantly and said: "The smile when you fake smile is actually eye-catching, but why is it so difficult when you really smile?"

Hao's expression slowly changed again. He looked at the tribesmen around him, then looked at the sky and said, "I really can't laugh."

Ai sighed, and then she said excitedly: "By the way, I have some new ideas about the improvement of the tree house magic that I mentioned to you before."

Hao suddenly became energetic and asked quickly: "Really? What are the details?"

In the past few days, Hao still led everyone to march towards the Plant Alliance. Although the Plant Alliance is a vassal of the elves, and one of the closest vassals, it is on the edge of the elven empire and is almost connected to the elven empire, but the prehistoric continent

It's too big. Even if it's the closest connected alliance, it would take everyone about eighty to one hundred days just to walk, and they have to maintain the current speed of fifty kilometers per day. This distance is actually quite large.

Far away.

Without magic blessing (cannot be used in groups), without enough traveling vehicles or mounts, a team of 600 people needs to survive in the wilderness and travel a distance of about 4,500 to 5,000 kilometers.

In fact, it is an unimaginably huge challenge. If it were not for the second-level magician Ai and two first-level warriors in the team, I am afraid that at the end of this trip, 600 people would be lucky to survive, and even 100 would be considered lucky.

.

There are many threats in the wilds of the ancient continent, from hordes of ferocious beasts to occasional monsters. If you are unlucky, you may even encounter powerful monsters. Level two and three are not uncommon. Then there is the problem of food.

Clean fresh water, diseases, and even poisonous insects are big problems, especially when camping and sleeping at night. Over the past few days, at least seven or eight people in the team have been bitten by poisonous insects, two of whom have serious symptoms. Fortunately, Ai Yi

As long as this magician heals automatically, his own resistance will be resolved, but this is just an ordinary poisonous insect. If it is a highly poisonous insect that is a specialty of certain places, it will be fatal if it is bitten.

This situation has been bothering Hao recently. He has thought of many ways, from smoking to burning, to finding specific plants to smear on the body, but these are all temporary solutions, not the root cause. It is impossible to do this again and again, and the next eighty

During the one-hundred-day journey, they still had to pass through a swamp and a jungle. The swamps and jungles had the most poisonous snakes and insects, and they were also the most poisonous. Hao was always worried.

The only way is actually to be solved by Ai Yi. She is a second-level magician. Although she is not a high-level magician, she spends a long time reciting incantations, plus preliminary preparations, meditation, magic circles, etc.

You can also use third-level magic, and there is a magic in the third-level magic called Iris's Traveling Mansion, which can transform a tree into a mansion that can accommodate a hundred people, with furniture and...

Temperature adjustment, water supply, and this magic can also make the mansion formed by this tree in subspace. If the owner does not agree, it is basically difficult to enter, and it is difficult for the outside world to discover this mansion. Even if the tree is destroyed, it cannot be harmed.

to this mansion.

But this magic can only accommodate a hundred people at most. If it is more, the mansion itself will collapse. And the team has a total of 600 people. It is impossible for Ai to cast six third-level magics at once. Even in order to maintain combat effectiveness, she does not

I dare to cast this mansion spell at will, just because I am afraid that if there is an accident, I will still have magic power to save my life.

In addition to this Iris travel mansion, there is another branch of tree house magic, which is also a third-level magic. This magic is called tree camp. You can cast magic on a nearby tree to transform it into a chain of tree houses.

, can accommodate about 5,000 people. Although this kind of tree house is a big house, which is very simple, it can isolate the harsh environment of the wild and mosquitoes and poisonous insects. However, the difficulty of casting this magic and the magic load are higher than that of Iris.

The magic of traveling to a mansion is even more exaggerated. Aiyi weighed it for herself. If she were to use this magic, she would be in a state of demonic loss for twenty-four hours and would have no fighting power at all.

So Hao's suggestion is that he hopes that Ai can improve the tree camp technique. It is best to reduce the magic scale to only accommodate a thousand people. This will not only have extra space for activities, but also reduce the magic consumption. As long as he sleeps

Once she sleeps, Ai will have enough magic power to fight and protect herself.

In the past few days, Aiyi has been studying this magic improvement that Hao mentioned. She didn't realize it before. She only felt that magic was not as difficult as outsiders said. But once she wanted to improve a magic, she realized

How difficult is it?

The setting of each magic rune will lead to changes in the magic circuit of the entire magic, leading to complete changes in magic formulas, and even the collapse and backlash of magic, resulting in the casualties of the caster.

The so-called magic is when the magician casts magic power from the sea of ​​consciousness, and this magic power will flow into the magic formula, thus producing the power to change and distort reality. The so-called magic formula is composed of various magic runes.

Every time a magician wants to perform magic, he needs to use mental power to completely outline a magic formula, and then fill it with magic power to perform magic.

This is actually similar to the magic technology of the Earthling Tribe. The core of the Magical Technology of the Earthling Tribe is actually a magic array-type circuit board, and then flows into the package current, magic power, or fighting spirit, and then generates out-of-the-world magic.

The magic effect comes, and because of the industrialization, popularization, mass production and enlargement of magic technology, its effect far exceeds the magic effect of any single magician, but it is definitely not comparable in terms of flexibility.

What Ai needs to do now is to compare the differences between the two magic spells, the tree house spell and the tree camp spell, and then change the tree house spell as much as possible so that the number of people it can accommodate increases and the comfort level decreases.

Balance the consumption of magic power with the load of magic levels.

It sounds simple to say, but it is incredibly difficult to do. Ai considers herself to be a little genius. She is only over 130 years old this year. For the elves, this age is actually just adulthood.

That's it, she is already a second-level magician. Although her family background allows her to not worry about the cost of learning magic or worrying about supplies for magic experiments, this is indeed a rare achievement.

So after Hao gave the suggestion, she was full of confidence. She thought that it would not be difficult to transform a second-level magic. But once she really started to transform it, she realized that the difficulty was simply unimaginable. A second-level magic

A magic spell has an average of about 2,600 magic runes, and the number of combinations is almost more than 17,000. A third-level magic spell has an average of about 20,000 magic runes.

The number of combinations is close to 800,000. If she wants to make changes, every time she adds or deletes a second-level magic spell, the number of combinations will be completely changed by more than 17,000. In other words, every time she changes a spell,

To do this, it is necessary to calculate the combined effect more than 17,000 times.

This is not just a matter of calculation amount, but also includes the reaction after inputting magic power, etc. If it is not done right, she will be affected by the magic power backlash, and may even be injured, so this requires magic runes and magic application science.

A lot of knowledge, although Ai knows this knowledge, but knowing is knowing, and application is application. Only at this point did she know why the Elf Empire has so many magic journals and various awards every year, and the people who improve magic and create magic are not

It is so rare that an improved magic appears only every five years on average, and it is not necessarily practical. On average, an innovative magic appears only every ten to a hundred years.

Moreover, those who improve magic are at best high-level magicians, and those who create magic are basically legends or above. Even so, these people will have great honors. Even if they are called by magicians of the same level, they will be called "

master.

That night, Hao came to the tree house, and happened to see Ai Yi perform the magic spell of the tree house, turning it into a three-dimensional magic circle, and Ai Yi looked at it with sweat on his head.

This magic formula, and attempts to analyze the function of each rune in order to make changes.

During the day, Ai Yi gave her suggestion to Hao, which was to reduce the internal structure of the tree house, such as turning three floors into one, like a Datong pavilion, similar to the tree camp technique. In this way, the magic of the tree house technique

The consumption and magic load will be greatly reduced. She can use a second-level magic to create about three similar tree houses, which can accommodate almost 150 people. Although this is not as good as the tree camp spell, it can also accommodate women.

and the child were sheltered for the night.

Hao came to discuss this solution with Ai Yi now, and then he saw Ai Yi perform the magic spell of tree house. The moment he saw this magic spell, a lot of things flashed in Hao's mind.

Fragments of memories, he seemed to be learning a very, very important knowledge under the guidance of a person whose appearance he couldn't see clearly, but he couldn't recall it. All the memories were only fragments, especially the more he thought about it.

That person's face and appearance, the more fragments are missing.

Only that knowledge is not missing, but it is not complete, because even the knowledge is not coherent, it is divided into fragments and emerges one by one, and the name of this knowledge is...

Rune analysis method!

Hao looked at this magic formula blankly. Although the knowledge he just recalled was not complete and was only fragments, even these fragments made his mind work intensely. All the information in the entire magic formula was

The runes began to be analyzed in a few tenths of a second. At the same time, a palm-sized glass mirror appeared above his head. As the glass mirror shone, all the runes poured into him a large amount of information.

in his mind, and then a few tenths of a second passed, all the runes were analyzed, and the meanings, combinations, etc. of these runes were also presented. The entire magic formula seemed to have no secrets for him.

.

"No, wrong!"

Hao watched Aiyi stretch out his hand to modify a rune, and he subconsciously said it aloud. All the elves, including Aiyi, looked at him with reproachful eyes. Hao hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about the relationship between these elves and

His life was already connected, and he no longer had any worries at the moment. He walked directly to the three-dimensional diagram of the magic spell and said: "Miss Ai, can you give me the ability to modify this spell? I mean I can outline it.

smear."

Aiyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and pointed at Hao, and one of Hao's palms emitted light. Hao did not dare to neglect, and immediately used the light finger to make a sharp stroke in front of this technique, and at least two people were killed.

One-third of the runes were all scratched out, and all the elves around them were shaking their heads. However, thinking that they were in a master-servant contract with Hao, they did not dare to curse out their inner thoughts.

You are just a human being who has no hope of becoming extraordinary in your life. Now you are here to practice magic. Who gave you the courage and confidence?

Hao didn't say anything, but started to outline the runes with his palm. Soon, he outlined the runes one by one. These runes were connected with the magic spells. Gradually, Ai Yi's eyes widened.

The elves were also staring at it. If nothing else, just judging from these runes, it was impossible for Hao to cause trouble, because some of the runes were not even in the magic formula just now, they were completely new.

Magic runes are outlined in it, and it is full of mysterious charm. Just looking at it makes these elves feel a strange aura. This is definitely not made up.

Finally, Hao's runes were outlined, and a brand new magic spell appeared on the spot. This magic spell had more than one-third less runes than the previous magic spell, but the structure became more three-dimensional and suspended.

, full of a harmonious beauty, just looking at it seems like an art with strict rules.

Ai Yi was very anxious at this time. She grabbed Hao's sleeve and said: "What is this? What do these runes mean? Also, the structure of the entire magic formula has been changed? Have you studied magic?

?You know how to combine magic runes? You know..."

Hao's face was a little pale. He took a step back, his steps staggering a little. In less than a minute, he felt as if he had run a distance of twenty kilometers. His whole body was sore and weak, and his stomach had just eaten dinner.

It was also empty. Hungry surged up and his eyes were dazzled. He almost fell to the ground softly, but he still managed to hold on and smiled forcefully at Ai Yi: "Try this technique, use the smallest

Magic test the safety."

Ai Yi looked at Hao for a long time, then nodded and memorized the technique, which lasted at least a few minutes. Then she closed her eyes, and the magic power in her body began to flow slightly. After a while, she opened her eyes in horror.

, asked Hao Dao directly: "What on earth did you do? Why is there no magic resistance at all? No, there is a little bit, but the magic power resistance is about the same as a magic trick, but the magic power capacity is the level of second-level magic. This

How is that possible!?"

Hao smiled weakly and said, "Is there any magic backlash? Is there any problem with the technique?"

Ai Yi nodded her head hard, and looked at Hao with bright eyes: "There is no magic backlash, and the spell can be fully executed, but the effect is not yet known. How about we try it immediately!?"

After Hao nodded, everyone followed Ai Yi to the outside of the tree house. Ai Yi couldn't wait to recite the incantation, and then introduced the magic power into the magic spell created by her mental power. After a moment, she faced the person a few meters away.

She pointed at a big tree, and a beam of light hit the big tree. Then she took the lead and walked towards the big tree, followed by everyone, and they all walked directly into the big tree.

After entering, the view immediately becomes wider. This is a huge room with a floor-to-ceiling floor. A rough estimate shows that this room can accommodate at least two thousand to three thousand people.

"Second-level magic!? Tree Camp Technique!?" Ai muttered in disbelief. The other elves also showed the same expression. Then they all looked at Hao, and all the elves said the same thing in their mouths.

A word came out.

"Arcane? Rune analysis!?"
