Harry and Ron had been sitting there stupidly for over half an hour.
The two of them were still struggling with difficulty falling asleep before, but now they feel that they have reached the point where they can fall asleep on the spot as long as they are given a pillow.
To be honest, they were quite curious about Maka and Hermione's experiments at first - Hermione developed the technique of constructing magic text arrays on stone slabs with curved surfaces, and made a defensive side with stone. Array diagram of round shield.
According to the discussion between Maka and Hermione during the test, the effect of the array is to achieve the goal of defending against non-physical magic to a certain extent through rapid interference with magic.
And I have to say that after several actual tests by Maka, it can be seen that the magic text array designed by Hermione this time is indeed very effective. Even the power beam of rules controlled by Maka failed to cause direct damage to the stone shield.
Unfortunately, the biggest problem now is its carrier.
So far, both Maka and Hermione admit that "stone" is the most suitable carrier for the ancient magic text to work, because it will not cause too much loss of the magic flowing on its surface.
However, things made of stone are too heavy and are easily damaged. If we want to use this technology to make magic armor according to Hermione's original idea, obviously there are still many problems that need to be solved.
But as Maka said - although Hermione's idea cannot be said to be novel, it is quite feasible. It is an application direction of ancient magic literature that is worth exploring in depth.
Of course, as for Maka also saying that he did not think of the use of curved stone slabs, this was somewhat of a deliberate compliment to Hermione. After all, he had already made a spherical rune array before, so how could he not have studied the arc-shaped structure
"Hermione..."
After staring at the cracked stone shield due to its inability to carry the formation and thinking for a while, Maka seemed to have come up with some new idea and suddenly said:
"I think we might try the production of 'stone powder paint' - if we first use a metal with both plasticity and strength to make armor with magic text patterns, and then apply a special layer of stone powder paint on the surface layer, and outline it with magic-guiding ink..."
As he spoke, Maka couldn't help but shook her head.
"Forget it," he said, "No matter how strong ordinary metal is, it can only bear the operation of the magic text array. This application may have value in other aspects, but when it comes to making armor, the problem is It’s quite big.”
"...Hermione, I will get you some metal shields later. You can try to make them according to what I just thought. As for the armor, let's put it aside for now!"
Considering that physical attack magic cannot be resisted by a set of armor, Maka's personal thoughts are actually based on the direction of the rune wizard robe. If one day we can overcome the array structure technology on fabric, it will be a huge leap forward.
So, after encouraging Hermione a few more words, he put all this matter aside for the time being and turned to look at Harry and Ron.
"Sorry, you-"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Maka saw that the two guys were already dozing off each other's shoulders, and there was even a trace of glistening saliva on the corner of Ron's mouth.
"Speaking of which, what are they here for?" Maka asked curiously.
Hermione, who was clearing away the slates, shrugged when she heard this and said without looking back:
"They... must have been unable to sleep and wanted to go out for a walk, and then they happened to hear the noise from our side!"
"Maybe! Then don't wake them up. They seem to be sleeping quite comfortably."
Maka smiled, then picked up the staff and waved it, turning the chair where the two were sitting into a bed.
Hermione glanced at them one last time, then waved her hand towards Maka and said:
"Then I'll go back first. You... must not be able to sleep yet? Remember to go to bed early!"
"OK, good night."
Maka nodded, stood there and watched Hermione leave the tent, then turned and walked to the other corner.
The cauldron placed there was still steaming, but it was different from when he and Hermione came in at the beginning. The steaming mist of medicine there now no longer had the slight pungency at first, but became Much softer.
He stood aside and looked inside, and found that the liquid had thickened and looked like it had turned into a half-pot of green lava.
"Well, it's almost ready..."
After muttering something, he simply sat down next to him, seemingly waiting for the moment when the preparation of the potion was completed.
While waiting quietly, the necklace that caused Dean Bernser to be cursed quietly resurfaced in his mind.
I remember that he made the judgment at that time that the person who made the necklace was not Haierbo, but someone else. In other words, they may have other enemies acting secretly now, but it's just because Haierbo's actions are too strong that most people are unaware of it.
And right now, although Haierbo should not be able to continue his plan for a while, other people with evil intentions who are hiding in the dark might appear soon.
"No," thinking about it, Maka couldn't help but shake her head again, "If there really is such a group of people, they should be more inclined to hide now... Or are they simply another group of men prepared by Haierbo in advance? "
Maka likes to leave herself a backup when doing things, and Haierbo seems to like to do the same. Therefore, it is no wonder that Maka thinks so.
"It's really troublesome."
He smacked his lips slightly, frowned and muttered secretly.
However, no matter who else or even how many groups of people exist in the secret, what he wants to do will not change. As far as the current situation is concerned, Haierbo himself is still the biggest threat, and everything else is obviously secondary.
Therefore, it is imperative to come up with a method to deal with the devil as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Maka raised her hand and rubbed her temples vigorously - during the period when Haierbo's plan went awry, he needed to seize the opportunity to try to regain the initiative. Although this was difficult, it was something that had to be done. .
Unknowingly, Macafu fell into deep thought again. His slightly solemn face was mostly blocked by the hand holding his forehead, making it impossible to see his complete expression.
For a moment, there was silence in the tent, except for the gurgling sound of the boiling liquid in the crucible, which brought out waves of increasingly sweet medicinal fragrance.
