Nian Bing probably understood the preciousness of scrolls, and said with a smile: "I accept your proposal. Anyway, the resources I use are all given by the union. If I don't have the materials in the library, I can't make scrolls. That's good. , All the scrolls I made, except for my own needs, are all contributed to the trade union. I don’t want a penny. However, I hope that the president can give me an authority. If I need money, I hope the trade union can provide a certain amount. Within the limit, is this okay?"
Long Ling froze for a moment, "I, did I hear you right? You don't want money?"
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, "What's the use of having so much money? It's too much trouble to carry it with me, not to mention that I don't spend much."
Long Ling cheered, suddenly hugged Nian Bing, and kissed him hard on the face, "That's great, that's great. Nian Bing, do you know that due to the existence of the Ice God Tower, our Ice Moon Empire magic The division union has never had the slightest status on the mainland. Not only are there few magic masters in the union, but all kinds of reserves are much less than the unions of other empires. In the eyes of the royal family of the Ice Moon Empire, only the Ice God Tower is the symbol of empire magic. It’s nothing, so the allocated funds are pitifully small. Dad has been worrying about these things. I really don’t know what kind of monster you are. You know, even if Dad makes these low-level scrolls, the success rate is far inferior to yours. Well, at least half of the union's current expenses are maintained by *father making scrolls."
Nian Bing touched the place where Long Ling had just kissed, and said in surprise: "No way, does an empire's magician's union need to be maintained like this?"
Long Ling said dejectedly: "That's the fact. Our trade union is different from the trade unions of other empires. The trade unions of other empires are supported by the entire empire. Originally, we were the same, but as the power of the Ice God Tower grows, the trade union It is getting less and less recognized by the imperial family. The funds allocated to us are pitifully small. Up to now, it is almost only symbolic. Nian Bing! If you come to make scrolls in the future, the entire trade union will get It’s great that it’s improved, thank you so much. Dad can finally stop working so hard. Did you know? Dad is just in his fifties this year, and Uncle Xue, that is, Jing Jing’s father, is over sixty , Judging by his cultivation, Dad is obviously much stronger than Uncle Xue, but due to years of hard work, he looks older than Uncle Xue. Nian Bing, thank you, you are the hope of the union! Continue reading , I’m going to tell Dad the good news, can I take some of the scrolls you made?”
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, "Of course, please do." It's been a while since he knew Long Ling, and it was the first time he saw Long Ling in such an excited state. , for his father.
Long Ling happily picked up a few scrolls from the ground, regardless of the steps, and immediately ran out, disappearing at the stairs in the blink of an eye.
Nian Bing looked at her leaving back, felt the warm feeling on her face, and murmured to herself: "What a lovely girl! Scrolls are such a good thing, um, ordinary ones are left for The guild is fine, and I will use the ones with higher levels. Accumulate more scrolls, and it will be much easier to walk on the mainland in the future."
He did not continue to make the scrolls. More than ten days have passed, and he has basically read all the knowledge he needs on the second floor, leaving only the last book he is interested in. As long as he reads this book again, he can Enter the third floor to learn more about magic knowledge.
He picked up the book he had found a long time ago from the pile of scrolls, and slowly opened it. The name of the book was "The First Explanation of the Magic Circle".
The magic circle is a method of connecting with the magic elements between heaven and earth through special symbols and magic fluctuations, and using them rationally. Under certain circumstances, the magic circle is something that every magician must understand, especially the advanced magician, because only by using the magic circle reasonably can the magician fully exert his ability and use the least energy to release Unleash the most powerful magic.
After reading this paragraph, Nian Bing's interest was immediately aroused. The reason why he chose this book was the production of magic scrolls, because the drawing methods of those magic scrolls are actually based on magic circles. In this way, if you can learn more about the magic circle, you may be able to create your own special magic scroll. In that way, the power can be expanded infinitely.
The magic circle is a very mysterious knowledge. Even with Nian Bing's cleverness, when he saw the complex symbols one after another, as well as the association and various functions of these symbols, he still couldn't help but feel a little at a loss. There are not many magic symbols. There are only more than a hundred, each of which has its own function, but when a magic symbol and another magic symbol form a new symbol, their functions will undergo tremendous changes. Where Nian Bing has a headache, more than a hundred symbols are organically combined. Then, the new symbols produced are definitely increased by geometric multiples. In this case, how can he remember it completely
A thick book with thousands of pages, Nian Bing was attracted by the magic circle, and soon immersed in it. At this moment, he even forgot that he is still a chef, and the mystery of magic has already been revealed. Let him be deeply intoxicated, magic is indeed a kind of magical thing, and its connotation is far more than the cognition of the outside world.
"Nian Bing, can you stop for a while?" The gentle voice woke Nian Bing up from the state of learning the magic circle, and when he looked up, Long Zhi, the president of the union, and Long Ling had appeared beside him. He hurriedly stood up and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, President, I was too engrossed."
Long Zhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, this is very good. I have heard Linger talk about you, can you make a scroll for me to see now, I really don't understand, although your magic power is not weak, But compared with me, there is still a big gap, why is the success rate so high when making scrolls?"
Nian Bing shrugged helplessly, and said: "I don't quite understand this question, so I will make one. You are an authority in the magic world. Perhaps, you can find the key to the problem. Unfortunately, my white scroll has already disappeared. Run out."
"It's okay, I have it here." While talking, Long Zhi took out a small scroll from his arms and handed it to Nian Bing, smiling: "This is the most expensive white scroll, worth ten purple gold coins, it can Enhances your chances of success when crafting scrolls. Try it out."
When the three-inch-long scroll was in his hand, Nian Bing suddenly felt something different. The rich magical elements spread on the scroll, and he carefully opened the scroll. A layer of crystal luster shone on the white paper. , This is far incomparable to my own white scroll with a gold coin. Nian Bing didn't hesitate too much. His obsession with magic made him start to move immediately. With his right hand, the surrounding air suddenly became cold. He didn't immediately draw the magic circle on the scroll, just like observing the wood when chopping firewood. In that way, he carefully observed the scroll worth ten purple gold coins in front of him, his eyes flashed continuously, searching, searching for the gap in the energy fluctuation.
Finally, after a few short breaths of observation, Nian Bing's right hand moved, his wrist seemed to be broken, and it was rapidly changing on the scroll, and the magic power condensed with ice elements was continuously depicted on the narrow space. On the small scroll, the speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to see clearly. A fifth-level ice wall technique was completed in just a few blinks of an eye. When Nian Bing pointed his last finger on the scroll, a circle of blue light scattered out, and when the light reached the maximum halo, it suddenly Convergence, a fifth-order scroll was successful.
Long Zhi gasped, "Oh my God! Are you drawing a scroll?"
Nian Bing woke up from the immersion, looked up at Long Zhi, smiled and said: "President, this kind of white scroll is really good, the one I used before, I am afraid it takes ten to succeed one, you see, this ice wall The scroll of the spell is okay."
Long Zhi smiled wryly: "Nian Bing, luckily I'm not too old to be dazzled, no wonder you have such a high chance of success, do you know? It takes at least an hour for me to draw a scroll, but you only use This is the gap! I think you haven’t been in contact with the magic scroll for a long time. Why do you draw it so quickly? Don’t you worry about making mistakes? You know, on the magic scroll The requirements of the magic circle are extremely strict. Even if there is only one mistake, the entire scroll will be scrapped. I couldn't believe it when Linger told me that you had drawn a hundred scrolls. Now it seems that you are indeed a veritable magician. Genius!"
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "I told Linger that when practicing magic, if you want to make your magic control more accurate and powerful, then concentrating is the best way. Before I draw a scroll, I will first go through the shape of the entire magic circle in my mind, and through the observation of the white scroll, I will find the best position to start, and directly integrate into the magic breath of the white scroll. In this way, it can be done overnight. , it is impossible for the scrolls to have any mistakes. Even the white scrolls that I used up earlier are just because my magic power did not connect well at the critical moment." Of course, he could not tell Long Zhi that he had practiced knife skills for many years. , the accuracy of the right hand is extremely high, which is why he can draw with such confidence. Even if Long Zhi wants to draw the scroll well, he probably won't waste eight years cutting vegetables or chopping firewood.
Long Zhi looked up to the sky and sighed, "Genius, genius, Nian Bing, the most correct thing I did in my life was to marry Ling'er's mother, and the second thing, I am afraid, is to accept you into the trade union. I declare, From now on, you officially become an elder of the trade union and enjoy all the same powers as other elders, and as long as you need, you can use a special badge to withdraw all the funds owned by the branch from any branch of the trade union."
Nian Bing had already guessed that Long Zhi would say this. After all, magic scrolls are too important for a guild, especially in the current situation like the Ice Moon Empire Mage Guild. What they need most is people like themselves. It's strange not to win over yourself.
"In this case, Nian Bing is disrespectful. President, I also declare one thing. From now on, all the scrolls I make, except those I need, will be owned by the trade union. I just hope that the trade union can try their best. Provide me with some higher-quality white scrolls. In this way, my success rate will be higher. Unfortunately, my magic power is still weak now. If I can make some seventh- and eighth-level scrolls, it will be more beneficial to the union. "
Long Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "There is plenty of time, and the cultivation of magic power cannot be rushed. You don't have to rush to draw scrolls, learn everything you need first, don't worry, as long as you need it, the union will provide it with all its strength." You use the white scrolls of the highest stage, of course, I also hope that you can make more scrolls of the fifth and sixth stages."
Nian Bing thought to himself, with the specialty of making magic scrolls, he could gain a firm foothold in the guild. Unfortunately, the strength of this magician guild is far from that of the Ice God Tower, otherwise, he only needs to provoke more , Maybe it can cause a struggle between the trade union and the Ice God Tower, even if it is only secretly, it will be very beneficial to his future actions.
Long Zhi was in a good mood. He originally wanted to invite Nian Bing to Qingfengzhai for dinner, but Nian Bing shied away on the grounds that he continued to learn the magic circle. Indeed, for Nian Bing now, there is nothing more important than learning the magic circle, because in the detailed explanation of the magic circle, he saw something that is extremely beneficial to his practice of ice and fire.
Time passed day by day, and it took Nian Bing seven days to finish reading the thousand-page magic circle book. He didn't just read it, but spent more time understanding it. He did not study the changes after the fusion of those symbols, but fully understood the particularity of each of the more than one hundred symbols. Because during his study, he suddenly realized that although the fused symbols are alive, the more than 100 basic symbols are dead, and the characteristics displayed by those fused symbols are all under the influence of these basic symbols. Therefore, as long as you can thoroughly understand these basic symbols and figure out some changes, it is equivalent to understanding the basic knowledge of all magic circles.
