Time sometimes passes very slowly, but sometimes it feels like it passes very quickly. People often suddenly discover inadvertently, hey, how come so many days have passed and I haven’t done any of the things I planned...
The same is true for Claude. The past two months since his foot injury has made him feel like he has been living for a long time. Anyone who has a plaster cast on his left foot that cannot land on the ground will feel the same way. Needless to say, there are no more inconveniences in life. Claude really can't stand the stinky feeling on his body when he can't take a bath. What's more, it's summer and he often sweats. He can only spend a long time every day using a large Dip a linen towel in water and slowly wipe your body clean...
I went to the pharmacy four more times, first once every three days, and then once every other week. Every time I went there, I was inevitably caught by the old pharmacist and had his blood taken. It wasn't until the last time that the pain of bloodletting was spared. The old man said that the congestion was gone, and he would be able to be alive and kicking in another month. It's just that the joint bones of the left ankle have just recovered and need to be carefully maintained. If you can, don't land on the ground. If you can sit and lie down, don't get up and walk around...
So while Claude was recuperating, he stayed in his little attic reading and writing. Even though September 10th was the Harvest Festival in honor of the Mother Earth, he just stayed in the attic and watched the parade of people dragging floats through the street in front of the house instead of rushing to join in the fun.
During this period of time, not only was Claude staying at home to recuperate from his injuries, but his three partners also underwent great changes. Verricro has changed the least, only becoming more silent, but he is still a fishing fanatic. During his rest time, he will go to the lakeside alone with a fishing rod and barrel to find fishing places, instead of like before. Invite your friends to go fishing together.
Erikson was busy repairing his small fishing boat. He didn't ask his friends to help this time, he was busy all by himself. I bought wave-wearing ship boards of the same size and thickness from the shipyard, dried them on the pier, and removed the damaged side boards of the small fishing boats. Then, under the guidance of Uncle Peg, I repaired them silently. live. It took more than a month for the small fishing boat to be launched again, but this time Erikson no longer asked his friends where to go for a tour. He drove the small fishing boat on Lake Beringa for more than an hour. Forget it.
Bokoal, who was the most out-of-the-box by nature, changed the most. Perhaps it was the stimulation brought to him by the Niros crocodile auction that made him deeply ashamed. For this reason, he divided the four gold crowns that Sir Fox gave him to buy the crocodile and divided them equally, one for each person. Then he alone borne the cost of Erikson's purchase of ship planks and other repairs, which cost more than three silver thalers. There are also nearly two silver talers’ pharmacy treatment expenses for Claude.
In fact, Bok'ar spent all the gold crown he received on these things. Even if everyone said that the four people should share it together, he would not agree. Because doing this would make him feel better, Bockal said. It was the mistake he made that caused his partners to lose more profits. He could only spend his share of the profits to make up for some of the guilt in his heart, otherwise he would have no face to talk to him again. Partners are together.
The partners originally wanted to share the profit of more than one silver thaler from the sale of game and catch to Bokoal as compensation, but Bokoaar was determined to include the money in the public funds of the four partners. From this point of view, although Bokoal performed extremely badly when facing the Niros giant crocodile, he still distinguishes between public and private matters when it comes to money, and as a financial person he is still highly trusted by his partners.
What surprised Claude was that after he injured his foot and stayed at home, his three friends seemed to have lost interest in going out for a walk. Except for going to and from school every day, the three of them don't usually get together to play. In the past, Bockaar and Eriksson used to think about where they would go to play every Sunday, but now they go back to their homes and are busy with their own things. Even though the Earth Mother's Harvest Festival is a legal holiday in the kingdom and they have three consecutive days off, Bockar and Erikson didn't bother the three of them to go somewhere to play. They just followed the parade for a long time in White Deer Town...
Verricro answered Claude's question privately. He believed that Bockaar and Ericsson should have been frightened by the Niros crocodile incident and understood how much they weighed. In the past, when I was young, I didn't know how high the sky was, but when I faced a real life-and-death crisis, I realized that I was nothing. If it hadn't been for Claude's last shot, the two of them would have been torn apart by the giant crocodile.
Even though the two of them came back and showed off their power in front of their classmates and became one of the four crocodile-hunting warriors, privately they felt guilty. They didn't see the big python that Claude fought in the Bailuzhou adventure, so they didn't care, thinking that he could do it as well. But this time when facing the giant crocodile of Nanilos, I realized my fragility. The only ones who can really rely on me at this critical moment are Vericro and Claude. So now Claude is recuperating at home, and they don't dare to go out and take risks even if they are killed.
Claude laughed it off, but it was a good thing that his partner could become calm. During this time, apart from going to school in the morning, he spent the rest of the time at home recuperating, which allowed him to read through both of Master Landers' diaries. I learned more about magic and understood many problems. For example, Master Landers said that it only took him three months to light up the hexagram in the meditation spiritual space and was promoted to a first-level rune mage. Why not a first-level rune mage
Claude remembered that in the diary in the magic cookbook, Master Landers said that he was a four-ring rune mage, specializing in alchemy and rune magic circles. Completely different from his brother Davari, the five-ring battle mage, he has little combat experience. But the first diary said that Rand Master only spent three months as an apprentice to be promoted to a first-level rune mage. So, is there any difference between a first-level rune mage and a first-level rune mage
It wasn't until Claude started reading the second diary of Master Landers that he realized that the first-level rune mage was not considered a first-level rune mage. The first-level rune mage only had the magic power that he could call upon, but he did not Learn how to cast magic. In other words, a first-level rune mage is just a magician who doesn't know spells.
In order to be promoted to a first-level rune mage, a first-level rune mage must draw the magical rune structure in the spiritual space of meditation and imprint it in the inner space of the hexagram. The six-pointed star is divided into seven internal spaces, one large, six small, and six small, that is, the hexagonal shape in the middle and the six triangular shapes next to it. These seven internal spaces can be engraved with seven magic talisman structures. Once the engraving is completed, it means that the first-level rune mage has officially become a first-level rune mage. He can use his own magic power to cast seven spells through these seven magic talismans. .
These seven magic runes engraved in the inner space of the hexagram are called one master and six auxiliaries, and they are also the seven basic spells that a first-level rune mage must master. It does not mean that a first-level rune mage can only cast these seven basic spells. He can cast other magics by temporarily constructing other magic arrays, but the amount of his own magic power and the time spent will far exceed the amount of time required to cast these seven basic spells. The cost of seven basic spells. .seven
Master Landers also made a very digital metaphor in his diary for this purpose. He set the magic power of the first-ring rune mage to one hundred, and then cast the spell of the magic talisman array drawn in the hexagon in the middle of the hexagram. At this time, which is also called the main magic time, the magic power consumed is one to two. When casting the magic spells in the six triangle-shaped magic arrays next to them, the magic power consumed is three to five.
And if you cast other magic, you must use hand seals and spells to temporarily construct the magic array structure of that spell. At the same time, the magic power you call will consume at least ten to twenty dollars. In fact, the magic effect of this spell is no greater than that of the seven basic spells. Maintaining this temporary magic array consumes most of the magic power before it collapses before the spell is cast...
Therefore, for a first-level rune mage, it is crucial to engrave seven basic spells on the hexagram in the spiritual space of meditation. Of course, a first-level rune mage can only choose to imprint seven zero-level spells. If he wants to imprint a first-level spell, he cannot imprint it. That is something that needs to be considered when promoting to a second-level rune mage.
Master Landers wrote in his diary that it is said that in the early and middle stages of the era of magical civilization, there were nearly a thousand zero-level spells. At that time, zero-level spells were divided into various attributes and various magic categories, and their magical effects were greater than now. of zero-level spells. But in the later stages of magic civilization, with the shortage of magic resources and materials, many zero-level spells cast with the help of external forces and magic materials began to be eliminated and integrated. Now, in addition to those zero-level spells that can be cast by using one's own magic power, some zero-level spells that consume relatively large magic power and have average magic effects have also been abandoned.
Claude can completely understand this. This is the same as the automobile industry in previous lives. Before he time traveled, the criteria for a good car were emission reduction, fuel economy, strong power, fashionable style and complete functions. Of course, those luxury brand cars with more than a million dollars do not need these standards, because they are originally used to show off to buyers...
Nowadays, the magic resources in the Faslan world are becoming increasingly scarce, and the magic materials that were common hundreds of years ago are now rare treasures. In the magical world where hundreds of flowers bloomed in the past, there are now only two paths left, civil and military. I am a rune mage who specializes in alchemy and studies how to maintain the effectiveness of magic without consuming or consuming magic resources. They use battle mages, which are the basic force for magicians to rule the entire Faslan world. However, their path to higher-level mages has been blocked by the so-called silver magic aristocrats...
As a first-level rune mage, the seven basic spells printed by Master Landers when he was promoted should all be alchemy-related spells. But he recorded in his diary that one of the things he regretted most was that he should not have followed the advice of Brother Davari and replaced one of the basic alchemy auxiliary spells with a combat auxiliary spell, occupying an internal space of the hexagram in vain. , and he has no chance to use this combat auxiliary spell in his daily life...
At that time, Brother Davari advised Master Landes that even though he was a rune mage who specialized in alchemy and the study of rune magic circles, he should have the ability to protect himself. Don't imagine that life in the magic tower is so peaceful and harmonious. In fact, intrigues between rune mages and rune mages are not uncommon. Brother Davari has seen several rune mages fail in competition, so it is best for Landers mages to imprint a combat auxiliary spell. There is no need to use it. As long as other rune mages know about it, a lot of unnecessary troubles can be avoided. trouble.
Although Master Landers said at the beginning of the second diary that he regretted using a combat auxiliary spell to occupy the inner space spell position of a hexagram, in the later diary he was very grateful to Brother Davari for his guidance and help. Because it is impossible for other rune mages to have the opportunity to learn a combat auxiliary spell, and after Wizard Landers accidentally used this combat spell, the provocations and unreasonable actions against him were reflected in the runes of the magic tower. There were suddenly a lot fewer mages, and the batch of magic apprentices at the same time as him were still often bullied by the rune mages in their daily lives...
Claude can completely understand what Master Landers said in his diary. This is normal. Newcomers are always bullied by old people, not only in the magic tower in the diary, but also in the workplace in the previous life. This kind of thing will inevitably happen.
However, Brother Davari's advice was a clever trick. A rune mage learned a combat auxiliary spell, which was like adding a guy with a knife to a group of unarmed people. Then no matter how arrogant the person in the crowd is, he must consider the consequences of provoking and making unreasonable troubles with this guy with a knife. Otherwise, if he is stabbed, he can only blame himself for not having a brain...
