Rebecca was obviously very pleased with Gawain's compliment, she almost came forward wagging her tail to ask for a few more compliments, and Gawain carefully observed the structure of this new furnace after the compliment, and he had already found that there was something wrong with it. Many things were not originally designed by myself, and some of these extra structures may be the transformation of Hammer based on blacksmith experience, and the other part must be Rebecca's handwriting.
Hammer didn't know how to make changes in runes and magic circles.
"What is this structure for?" Gawain pointed to the pedals, connecting rods and iron plates connected together under the furnace. These structures are very delicate, and Hammer probably built them bit by bit with a hammer. Part of it is the same as The stone slabs on the ground were glued together, and the other part seemed to be related to the magic circle structure of the furnace, which made Gawain have some vague associations.
"Oh, ancestor, didn't you say that blacksmiths who are ordinary people can also control the opening and closing of the magic circle? I designed such a structure," Rebecca said proudly, "Although the new furnace is It can be used continuously, but it also has the ability to shut down, so you see, this pedal can control the movement of this iron plate. There is a rune on the iron plate, and another rune on the obsidian plate of the furnace body. The right runes are useless if separated separately, but when combined they will become part of the entire magic circle... "
Rebecca demonstrated it to Gawain while she was talking. She stepped on the pedal hard, and the iron plate connected to it turned over and fit into the groove under the furnace. Only then did Gawain see the inscription on the back of it. The basic elemental runes are just the missing part of the furnace body magic circle.
This is a switch, an extremely simple, yet inventive structure.
Before this thing appeared, magicians basically used their own magic power to control the operation of the magic circle.
But blacksmiths don't know how to control magic, so they obviously need it.
After the iron plate was flipped up, the magic circuit of the entire furnace was connected. Gawain felt a slight airflow in the surrounding air, and then some shimmering lines appeared on the surface of the stone plate on the ground. And the magic array on the side of the furnace also started to activate, and the runes on it lit up one by one. Firewood had already been placed in the furnace. At this moment, with the activation of the magic circle, the firewood started to burn directly, and suddenly burst into flames. The flame is far stronger and hotter than the firewood burning under normal circumstances!
Rebecca has loosened her feet, but the iron plate has been fixed in the groove of the furnace body under the action of the locking teeth. Although the accuracy of this whole set of structures is completely incomparable with industrial products, since it only needs to Push that gnarly rune up to take effect, and it's apparently working flawlessly.
"Step on it again and you'll go back!" Rebecca pointed proudly at the teeth between the connecting rods, "I named this whole set 'Rune Trigger', which uses runes as a conductor and can be triggered. A moving mechanism! Let me tell you, don’t think it’s easy to just disassemble and reassemble a few runes. After testing for a long time, I’m sure that this pair of runes is the most stable and versatile combination... "
Girl, you gave this thing a super b-like name!
Seeing Gawain's dazed eyes, Rebecca finally stopped the baba caused by over-excitement, and said with a little hope and nervousness: "That... Lord Ancestor, what do you think of this thing? By the way, except Except for this rune trigger, the other parts of the furnace were remodeled by Hammer."
"Very good, very good, both of you are doing well," Gao Wen said from the bottom of his heart, and then he noticed that the old blacksmith was not there, so he asked curiously, "Where did Hammer go?"
Rebecca scratched her hair: "Because more black stones and red clay are needed to build a new furnace, he took a few apprentices and the expedition team to the mountains to find materials. Arrived at Blackstone."
Gao Wen let out a cry, and then suddenly remembered that he was looking for Rebecca for a serious business, so he slapped his head: "Oh, yes, I have something to do with you, you should take a look at this first, do you have any impression?"
As he spoke, he took out a gray-black, unremarkable hardened object: this was the last piece of "waste" left on hand besides the sample given to Hetty.
Rebecca recognized it the moment she saw it: "Ah, isn't this the waste that I burned out before?"
"Look here carefully," Gawain saw that Rebecca herself hadn't noticed that there were actually other things mixed in the "waste" she burned out, "Did you see these crystals one by one? Do you remember How did you burn these things yourself?"
It was only then that Rebecca noticed the fine particles. To be honest, since the burnt residues all looked similar, she couldn't tell which furnace it was from. Fortunately, she strictly followed the high The "operating rules" explained in the text, carefully recorded the material ratio, time, temperature, and kiln number of each furnace when firing each sample. As long as it is confirmed that it is from the first few batches of samples, Then restore all the records of the day, and it is easy to determine how these things came about.
Hearing that Rebecca carefully took notes, and that it was easy to restore the operation details at that time from the records, Gao Wen was really relieved: in this era, the word "detailed records" almost does not exist. In the minds of ordinary people, only magicians who are obsessed with all kinds of magic research have a superficial concept in this regard, but Rebecca is not a magician who can do research. Her fireball skills have always been only large, super large, It's super big, and I don't know how many levels it is, so this girl hasn't developed any habit of doing experiments at all...
But fortunately, she was very obedient, and she was not sloppy at all with what Gao Wen ordered.
While Gao Wen was studying how to introduce the "art of explosion" into this era as soon as possible, a half-elf thief who had nothing to do after eating and drinking was wandering in the dense jungle of the Dark Mountains.
Of course, a more high-sounding statement is to patrol the borders of the territory and search for potential danger and wealth in the dark mountains... Anyway, it has almost the same meaning, but anyone who knows her knows that this is just fishing.
Carrying two beloved small daggers, humming a song that cannot be tuned, Amber jumps between rocks and tree branches as if walking on flat ground. With the help of the ubiquitous shadows in the mountains and forests, her figure will disappear from time to time. In the air, she suddenly appeared dozens or even hundreds of meters away. Sometimes her figure flickered, and a wild fruit she picked from no one knew where would appear on her little dagger, which was then chewed and thrown away.
This dark mountain forest is like a tailor-made heaven for Amber, who is both an elf and a master of shadows.
"Ha... What a great place..."
Standing on the branch of a big tree, Amber stretched comfortably, sighing leisurely.
Although when she first came here, she was intimidated by the great reputation of the Dark Mountains, and even had the idea of finding a chance to escape, but after staying here for a while, she found that this place really told the 700-year-old rice dumpling. It's not that scary at all.
That’s right, hundreds of years have passed since the tide of demons. Those monsters were double-blocked in the wasteland of Gondor by the magnificent wall and the dark mountain range. The north side of the mountain range is protected layer by layer.
Those guys in the north really frightened themselves, they were scared out of their wits.
Amber unconsciously ridiculed those "northern people" who dared not come here due to the evil reputation of the dark mountains, but completely forgot that she was one of these people not long ago.
She stayed on the branch of the tree for a while, and when the cool breeze blew enough, she opened her hands and fell straight back from the tree.
Halfway through the fall, she entered the shadow form, and the power of the shadow enveloped her, and instantly brought her into the world that was parallel to the real world, but almost no one could step into it.
The sound of the wind in the woods, the sound of insects, and the singing of birds disappeared instantly, and the amber fell lightly on the ground, standing in a quiet and monotonous world.
The dense forest is gone, there are only clusters of strange rocks and rugged mountain roads, a few dead tree trunks lying across the mountains, and those ferocious branches are like fangs pointing at the gray and gloomy sky of the Shadow Realm.
This black and white world is as unsettling as the legendary kingdom of the dead, but for Amber, it is a very reassuring place.
Standing here, there will be a feeling of home.
But the former Amber could not often come here.
Although she has an outstanding talent for shadows, before that, Amber could not enter the shadow world anytime and anywhere. She could only roughly sense the "boundary" of this world, and it was easier for ordinary stalkers to reach this boundary. However, it is very difficult to completely cross the border. It often requires a long period of meditation, or it must be assisted by some magic items and potions.
But since leaving Cecil Territory, this process seems to have become much easier.
As long as you concentrate, you can feel the existence of the boundary, and as long as you mobilize the power of the shadow, you can easily pass through the boundary.
After a period of familiarization and adaptation, she can even jump into the Shadow Realm as fancy as she is now...
Although she is not a scholar who specializes in the study of shadow power, nor is she a mage with "extraordinary keen sense of smell", Amber herself is not stupid. She vaguely guessed that the ease of entering the Shadow Realm is not because of her own shadow affinity. However, the world itself is probably changing, and some kind of force has caused the barrier between the shadow world and the real world to loosen.
But so far, its looseness should be extremely slight, and only a "freak" like myself can feel its changes.
If I take the changes in the shadow world as a big discovery and talk to those high-ranking mages and scholars, I will probably be chased away by them as a lunatic, or worse: my excellent shadow talent and inferior Fighting ability will be regarded as a kind of treasure from heaven by them, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to get out of those people's mage tower alive.
Amber wanders in the shadow world, enjoying the tranquility and safety of this world, with her little thoughts floating in her heart.
So what changes in the world have anything to do with me...
But maybe you can talk to the guy who opened the coffin
That guy seems to be the type who is interested in these weird things, and he certainly won't cut himself on the experimental bench...
Amber had various thoughts in her mind, and she laughed unconsciously.
