City of Sin: Forty-two preparations
Everyone feels differently about the passage of time. Sometimes they feel like they are running too fast like a white horse. Sometimes they are like a sandstone man with a certain element of Plane. A kiss takes a thousand years of Norland. , It's outrageously slow.
After receiving the Legendary Mage question, both Richard and Stevenson are moving towards the goal in their own way.
In fact, Richard has basically the same life and rest time as before. Even magic practice and Meditation are not interrupted. I just adjusted the work schedule a little bit and diverted some of my learning time for magic philosophy to Magic Rune.
But it did n’t take long for Richard to realize that he was going in the wrong direction. When studying Rune design, there are several courses that analyze and dissect the classic examples of the predecessors. The Magic Rune, the design idea of which is amazing, is still derived from the understanding and understanding of the magic world. Richard therefore knows that he does not lack the relevant knowledge of Magic Array, but needs to strengthen his accomplishments in the philosophy of magic, which is more conducive to his creation.
At the same time, Richard also began to contact the manufacture and installation of Rune plug-ins. A copy of Magic Line must be installed on Snow Rabbit to really play a role. The mature Magic Rune plug-in can be fused with the body of the target creature and eventually become a part of the body, similar to a tattoo. And further, it is to draw Magic Line directly on the body of the target creature. Only such Rune can truly combine with the target and become unique.
In addition, if you want to create a new Magic Rune, magic materials science has also become a key field. What materials are used to achieve the corresponding effect is not as simple as it seems. Even if it is the same Demon Beast, the skin of different parts of the body may have different magic effects, and the craftsmanship for processing leather can be as many as nearly one hundred kinds, and eventually produce at least thirty or forty different enchantment skins with different magic attributes. The Magic Rune involves more than a thousand kinds of materials, plus the difference between craftsmanship in the middle and late processing, and each master character has more or less his own unique skills. The combination is completely an unimaginable large number.
Richard is thus exploring in the vast maze, while learning and practicing the basic techniques required to make Magic Rune. He was very patient and not at all anxious. He moved forward step by step, at most after a few days to review the effect of the previous stage of learning, and then adjust the work schedule slightly.
In fact, there are many shortcuts to magic materials, such as asking for a family. Archeron Family is regarded as an upstart again. After all, it is also a model of successful outbreaks. The materials that can be provided to Richard and the pre-processing craftsmanship will definitely be more than dozens of times stronger than his own brewing. For example, Stevenson's refined flame Land Dragon leather Level 1 material, even if it is extremely precious, Archeron Family is not unavailable.
However, Richard would rather use ordinary Demon Beast skin cheaper than 1500 times, rather than get a flame Land Dragon skin from Gordon. Even though he soberly knew the importance of high-level magic materials to the quality of Rune's finished parts, he still stubbornly ignored this little convenience and looked for his own way forward.
Stevenson is another busy way. He communicates with Saint Klaus almost every day to discuss Snow Rabbit ’s Magic Rune solution. And he also started a lot of targeted exercises.
The problem of Sharon is also a problem for Saint Klaus. Of course, the difficulty is stuck in the Magic Line rendering technology of Stevenson. Saint Klaus is not only looking for a solution, but also ensuring that this is the solution that Stevenson can currently complete.
Within a few days of receiving the question, the Runemaster, who has been famous for decades, has made more than ten feasible Rune design solutions, but after evaluation, none of them can be completed by Stevenson. Therefore, Saint Klaus, while conceiving a new plan, urged Stevenson to carry out targeted exercises, especially to strengthen more than a dozen local Magic Array drawing exercises. Although there is no final solution yet, the general idea already exists, and more than a dozen Magic Array parts will probably be used in the future.
Remote Communication Magic Formation, especially the ultra-long-distance communication with a communication distance of more than 5,000 kilometers, is also extremely expensive. But compared to the first batch of specially crafted magic materials that Solam Family is scheduled to send to Deep Blue, a few thousand gold coins in one communication is really nothing.
The Duke of Solam paid Stevenson an additional one million imperial gold coins for his purchase of materials in dark blue. The training and improvement of Snow Rabbit is also a large cost. Since the time is limited to half a year, the cost has increased significantly. To develop a more powerful Demon Beast that is still Snow Rabbit, the total consumption will exceed three million gold coins.
In fact, the things in the dark blue are several to tens of times more expensive than the outside world, because the quality is far superior to similar products in the outside world. In the eyes of Duke Solam, the price of dark blue is quite fair. Although Deep Blue is prospering year by year, the annual production is limited after all, and according to the first supply of Sacred Alliance according to the treaty, the rest will be put on the mainland market. In the outside world, dark blue products are often high-end goods that cannot be bought with money. Because the Solam Family family is a Legendary Mage family disciple, they were able to squeeze into the list of dark blue customers. Based on this, Duke Solam and his family council considered it worth the money.
Within less than a month after the first gold coins were sent out, Solam Family ’s material assistance arrived at Deep Blue, and an additional two million gold coins were shipped with the magical materials. This is because the mid-summer carnival in Deep Blue is coming again.
The so-called Midsummer Carnival is not a traditional holiday on the mainland, but an ultra-large-scale magic materials and materials auction held inside Deep Blue. The Midsummer Carnival has been held three times, this time for the fourth time. The first three auctions were a sensation, and the third one even attracted the participation of many large families of Sacred Alliance. In this carnival, it is said that many giants of the three empires will send people to participate.
The Midsummer Carnival is by no means an ordinary auction fair. Although the form is similar, Deep Blue and the suppliers it invites to provide the main goods, and the participants will also bring materials from the original to seek transactions. Tools and rare materials often need to be exchanged for goods. The fundamental reason why the dark blue Midsummer Carnival is not ordinary is actually that every four-year event, Legendary Mage will open its own private warehouse and select some materials for public auction.
Things that can be seen and cherished by Legendary Mage are absolutely rare in the whole Norland Continent. The Legendary Mage has special personal hobbies, and there are many things related to dragons in the private library. Any material, as long as it touches Giant Dragon, it is a good thing. For the real veteran aristocrats and mainland powerhouses, gold coins are nothing at all, these Top Level materials are may come by with luck, but not by searching for it things. How can I miss the opportunity to exchange Top Level materials with gold coins?
