Law of the Devil Chapter 123: [Brain Genius]
Chapter 123 [Brain Genius]
From the magic store of this crystal ball, Du Wei walked forward, and was attracted by a weirdly shaped prop shop on the side.
The shape of this shop is a complete tree!
In the hall of the magic union, there are weird buildings on the front and back, but only such a tree stands here alone. From the visual inspection of Dewey, this big tree was afraid that even seven or eight strong men could not be embraced. The trunk was inserted directly into the ceiling. I didn't know how high it was, and the root of the tree was deeply buried in the floor under the feet. The weird green vines twined around the blackened trunk.
The most weird thing is that this vigorous tree has been completely hollowed out and turned into a tree-shaped house. I do n’t know how the hollowed out tree survived. .
A square window and a rectangular door were dug out of the surface of the bark anyway. The hollowed back was shaped like a room. When Dewey walked in, he saw a wooden staff standing at the door.
Obviously, this is a place to sell magic wands.
Standing inside the big tree, there was a tall wooden counter in front of it, and the whole room was filled with a shaving smell of shavings, but Du Wei was immediately suspended This wand attracted!
The magic wand is also an indispensable item for magicians. A good wand must be made of special wood materials, because metal is usually repellent to magic. The wand's requirements for wood are extremely critical. For example, Du Wei's magic bag now has a semi-finished wand, a gift from the magic union of the Rollin Plain. It was a piece of walnut wood, and it was made in the spring when the first shoots that gave off the first shoots were harvested.
Dewey knows a little about wands. Wizards are usually weak, because they have been indulged in magic research for a long time, their bodies cannot be exercised, and their physical strength is not enough.
The wand also needs to be strong, because when casting magic, the wand must be able to withstand the magic wave smoothly.
The third point is equally important. It's magical! Although metal is repellent to magic, most tree magicians choose wood to make wands, but not all ground woods have good magical properties. There are also many woods that are not suitable.
It must be light and strong, and it must also have good magical properties.
In general, the most commonly used wood on the market for making wands by Roland mainland is divided into three grades.
The lowest grade is a kind of wood called "Zijia Luoshu", which is very light and strong. And it is easy to collect, especially in the south, where there is plenty of sunshine all year round, making this wand inherently sensitive to fire magic, suitable for fire magicians.
But the weakness of this Zijia Luoshu is obvious: in addition to fire magic. For other department's magic use, the effect will be greatly discounted. Moreover, this wand is particularly afraid of moisture when facing water magicians. Once wet, its effect will be greatly impaired. Born by the water system.
However, because of the convenience of collection and production, low-level fire magicians on the mainland usually choose this kind of wood. This is also the initial choice of most fire magicians.
There are a lot of materials in Zhongpin. At present, the most widely used on the continent is a "Lotong tree". This tree is inherently very magical and strong enough. It's just a little heavy. And most importantly. Planting is not easy, it only grows in the south of the mainland, close to the southern marshland. The most precious thing is that among this kind of wood, a hundred trees are searched, and there may not be a suitable one in the wood. Because most of the wood of the tung tree is heavy, even the weight is comparable to the metal of the same volume! Only some rare breeds will be lighter.
Top quality materials. At present, it is generally recognized as a walnut tree, a common tree in the world of Dewey. But strangely. Walnut trees are scarce in Roland!
The craft of making wands from walnut trees is very special. You must choose old trees that are over 50 years old. Then wait for one year in the spring and pick the branches that emit the first sprouts in the new year. This kind of material is considered the best. Whether it's weight, sturdiness, or the magical nature of using all types of magic, it is first-rate!
But walnut trees are scarce on the Roland mainland, and usually walnut trees cannot grow to 50 years of age! Unless there is a professional magician carefully cultivated with various magic potions. Makes this material even more scarce. Although many magic wands on the market are called walnut trees, most of them are not older than 50 years, and they may not be the first sprout branches in early spring. So it is a lot worse in all aspects.
Du Wei looked around in this shop and found that the magic wands here are all semi-finished products, most of which are medium quality. Occasionally, one or two top-quality walnut trees can be seen. According to Du Wei's rich experience, The magic pharmacist's understanding of magic plants shows that the absolute age of the trees is insufficient.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" Just as Du Wei watched at will, behind the high counter, a head popped up.
This man looks like he is in his thirties, with a huge head, but a pitiful neck. The hair on his head was thin, and his face looked dim, as if he had just woke up. Especially to the ridiculousness of Du Weizhong, this man actually wore a one-eye glasses. Apparently, the one-eye glasses was crafted The kind of magnifying glass we use when sculpting. He carried this thing, making it seem that one pair of eyes on the face, as small as a soybean, the other one became as big as a bull's eye under the action of a magnifying glass, which was really funny.
The man leaned out from behind the counter and wiped his saliva vigorously. Apparently, he fell asleep just now. After seeing the service on Du Wei's body, he hurried out from behind the counter and bent over to salute: "Hello, dear magician, do you need a wand?"
Du Wei glanced at this person, and surprised Du Wei slightly. This man is actually not wearing a silver magic apprentice robe, but a gray formal magician robe! Although the wizard's badge he wore made Dewey look strange.
Slightly hesitated for a moment before Du Wei recognized. Although the man in front of him was wearing a magician's robe, his true identity was a magic pharmacist!
The magic pharmacist is not as good as a magic apprentice.
This is a recognized fact in the magic circle.
But Du Wei started by learning magic potions. Of course, he won't look down on magic potions. He smiled politely: "I just look at it casually. Well, I'm curious why the magic wands here are semi-finished products." What? "
This big-headed guy grinned broadly and said, "You're kidding ... Where are the magic wands for sale? I only provide the wood materials for making the magic wands. And the magic gems inlaid on it, you have to go to the front, You can find a few. The craftsmanship of making wooden staffs and refining magic gems is different. I am only good at wood art, and I do n’t understand alchemy. "
Du Wei nodded and picked up a black walnut. I weighed it in my hand and said, "This walnut seems to be young enough?"
"Of course, this handle in your hand is made of walnut for twenty years. It is very difficult to find. It is really necessary to find fifty years of walnut, and I am afraid there are not a few in the whole continent! And Fifty-year-old walnut trees have been imprisoned by some great magicians. How could it be possible for someone to mine and sell them? "The man looked at Du Wei and laughed:" However, twenty years of walnut It ’s hard to come by. It ’s good in all aspects. Many intermediate wizards are willing to use this kind of wand. You ... "
Du Wei smiled and put down this hand: "I'm just a little curious about the process of making wands. I ask. If I have the right good wood in my hand, I also have good gems , So how can it be made into a finished wand? "
This head sees that Du Wei has no intention of buying, and there is nothing impatient, but he is still polite: "Well, there is a magic prop shop in the front corner, which can undertake the manufacture of various props, as long as you Provide the right materials yourself. Then you can do what you want. "
"Well. The magic array pattern on the wand, they can do it too?" Du Wei frowned.
He has seen Gandorf's wand. The wand looked inconspicuous, not even the wood was walnut, and I didn't know what it was made of. The most important thing is that there are many weird patterns on the wooden stick, which is obviously an auxiliary blessing magic.
The eyes of this head light up, as if hearing the topic you are most interested in, and immediately a lot of enthusiasm: "It seems that you are an experienced great magician! Generally speaking, blessing on the wand The auxiliary magic can be done. However, because of the different materials, only the finest wood can bless the magic. Some low-quality materials, such as Zijia Luomu and Luotong Wood, cannot do it. Walnut can Earth ... but you also know that the best material to describe the magic circle is crystal stone. Wood, no matter how good the wood is, the adsorption of magic power is slightly worse. So add auxiliary magic on the wand, Generally, it can only be some low-level bright art and magic amplification. It is impossible to bless the powerful magic. Even if you have a good fifty years of walnut, you can't meet this requirement. "
Du Wei smiled and said casually: "Since this is the case, it would be better to use a pure magic crystal to make a wand."
This head was overjoyed when he heard the words. When he patted his thigh, his face suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Yi? Do you think so? Aha! I think so too! From the perspective of magic, any The material is no better than crystal! Even walnut, which is known as the best wood, will not work! I have calculated that the same level of spells, when cast, will increase the efficiency by 1.5 to 5 times compared to crystal and wood. But ... "
Du Wei is also interested: "But what?"
The head sighed, and a helpless expression appeared on his face: "However, when I proposed this idea, I was scolded by the teacher ... wow, after all, this method is just fantasy."
Dou Wei frowned, and then immediately understood why.
A wand made of pure crystal? Generally, the length of a magic wand is about one meter or more. Most magicians use wands as tall as one person. Such a large volume, made of pure crystal stone, I am afraid that it will not come down without a weight of two or three hundred kilograms!
Two or three hundred kilograms? I am afraid that even a mighty brutal warrior with a giant two-handed sword in his hand is not so heavy! Those old magicians who made their bodies weak fought with wands several times heavier than the weapons in the hands of barbaric warriors?
I really need such a good wand, I am afraid that none of the magicians in the whole continent can lift it!
It's really utopian.
This head is obviously a kind of confused person, and I saw someone who was actually interested in what he was studying. Immediately forgot everything, and talked to Dewey with affection.
"Although it is impossible to use pure crystal. But it is not impossible to improve the wood." His eyes flashed with light.
The magic wand is actually a magic booster. The better the material of the amplifier, the less the unnecessary consumption of magic power is, and the power is naturally better.
"I have researched for many years and found a lot of materials. However, they all have congenital defects, such as Zijia Luomu, which is very good for fire magic. Simply speaking, fire magic, magic guide Sex is even better than walnut. But other departments can't. It is especially restrained by the water system. If a magician holding a purple family Luomu staff meets a water system magician, then he is completely inferior ... I have been in these years I ’m studying these trees and plants ... if they can be cross-bred ... "
The brain is getting more and more forgotten, and I ca n’t help but dance: “For example. I use Zijia Luomu and a morning glory hybrid. The original morning glory is the least afraid of water. I think I can neutralize it. Zijia Luomu is afraid of the weakness of the water ... "
Du Wei's face remained calm, but the surprise in her heart was an ebb!
This big-headed guy is a genius!
Grafting of trees? Cross?
This kind of thing, Du Wei naturally knows in the previous life, the modern technology of the previous life. It can be done naturally. But in this world ... except for the prosperity of magic, everything is almost in the Middle Ages!
Hybrid plants? I'm afraid to say it is shocking!
Looking at this head, his hands fell into Dewey's eyes, making Dewey move! The fingers of these hands are short and strong, there are thick calluses on the palms, and there are many places that crack and are covered with adhesive tape. Such a pair of hands is nothing like a pampered magician. It's more like a gardener who deals with plants and soil all year round!
"... It's a pity. I cultivated a lot of strange things myself, but I was finally seen by the teacher. I was scolded and said that I was not doing my job properly, all the things I cultivated were burned. Then I got here to make a magic wand ... the teacher said that I still have an eye for wood, oh ... "
At this point, this head can't help sighing.
Du Wei's heart leaps madly ... A guy like this is actually sent to work in a shop? It's just a violent thing! !! The teacher in his place, Du Wei really didn't know if he should kiss him twice or kick him!
It's time to waste the talent of such a talented guy. But if not ... how could my Master Du Wei have a chance?
Du Wei thought of this, he had already made up his mind, and his face was involuntarily showing that peculiar smile. If there was someone from the Rollin family next to him, he would surely recognize it. The smile of the young master is almost the same as that It was exactly the same when extorting poor Vivienne!
"This man, don't be too discouraged ..." Du Wei casually comforted two sentences, and immediately asked: "I'm very interested in your views, in fact, I am also very research on magic plants, Without a chance, let ’s sit down and have a good chat ... By the way, after speaking for so long, do n’t know what your name is? ”
"I?" A big smile on his head, a look of no intention: "My name is Set. I am a disciple of Master Az in the magical union ... hmm, but I have been following Master Az for twenty It ’s been years, but it ’s the most useless of Master ’s apprentices ... "
Seth? Du Wei secretly remembered the name.
But ... Az?
Du Wei is more familiar with the name!
Gegewu? Az?
Du Wei remembered, like the magician that Gegewu hated most! At the beginning, Gegewu went into the frozen forest with Az, and when he met Medusa, Az ran away alone and abandoned his companion!
Is that the magician? ?
Du Wei's thoughts turned calmly. Laughing: "My name is Du Wei, it's from the Luo Lin family."
"Ah, you must be the newly appointed bachelor of magic." Setter smiled. "I heard your name. Now the magic union is talking about you. Dear Lord Du Wei, the magic union has already I have n’t given up my new Bachelor of Magic for decades! It ’s just ... ”Sete looked at Dewey, and was a little embarrassed.“ I just did n’t expect you to be so young. ”
Du Wei smiled casually, and talked to Seth about some magical plants. What made Seth happy is that the magic pharmacy is declining. The new bachelor of magic was so knowledgeable about magic pharmacy! Set is a heartless and honest person. When he is happy, he dances and forgets the etiquette.
The two were talking, and suddenly they heard someone outside shouting, "Ah! Lord Du Wei, you have been here for a long time."
Speaking, come in alone outside. It was Mage Clark.
Dou Wei couldn't help but look at Clark. Clark looks very different now than he did yesterday. Seen one day, this grey guy seemed to look a lot better. There was a look of pride in his eyes. The gray mage robe on his body was also brand new. Another subtle difference is the badge on his chest. In addition to the original magician level badge, there is another strangely shaped badge: a miniature magic wand. It wasn't a gem, but a six-pointed star pattern that glittered on the top of the wand.
Sett froze, saw Clark, and could not help but show a trace of fear No matter what era, the dark magician is always frightening. The brain was clever, and he quickly put down his waving hands, and whispered in fear: "Ah! Master Clark ..." He paused and suddenly saw the badge on Clark's chest. Could not help but hesitated, quickly changed his words: "Ah no, Lord Clark!"
Deacon?
Du Wei secretly figured out, probably a senior position in the magic union, right? Looking at this set of fear, I am afraid that the status of this deacon is not low.
Du Wei guessed right. In the magic union, those big magicians are devoted to magic research on weekdays. Where can I manage the normal affairs in the magic union? And in this case, in the magic union. Huge daily affairs. They were presided over by several deacons. As a deacon, you have the real power in the magical union!
Clark made a big contribution for this time about Dewey. He also brought Du Wei back to the Imperial City safely, and even saved Du Wei's life in the middle. This was promoted by the chairman based on his merit ... This also shows that in the eyes of the magic union, Du Wei is important Sex!
"My Excellency Du Wei, when I came out just now, I heard people say that you have come here. I have been looking for you for quite some time. Come on, now the Chairman must be very keen to see you."
Clark naturally doesn't have a good face for a small first-level magician (and the most despised pharmacist), glanced at Sete a little, and came up to hold Dewey out.
Du Wei paused, and smiled at Sete: "I will come to you in time."
Leaving the stunned Sete, Dewey left with a confused Clark.
Du Wei is a very smart person. Looking at the extra badge on Clark ’s face and the temporary change of Sete ’s just now, he realized that Clark was mostly promoted, and he was returning to the Imperial City with himself. Most people who have been promoted since then have a relationship with themselves.
"Forget congratulations, Lord Clark." Dewey smiled. Clark was arrogant in front of Dewey and smiled, "You're welcome. Lord Dewey ... you are a bachelor of magic, and your status is much higher than that of my deacon. A small deacon is really worth mentioning. "
Not worth mentioning? I'm afraid not!
Although Du Wei didn't know much about the specific concept of the deacon, the two came along all the way, and the people they met all saluted themselves. And looking at Clark's eyes with a touch of awe, Du Wei is not difficult to imagine, this deacon is definitely not simple!
