After seeing the dilapidated notebook, Hetty finally realized the source of all this: "These are... left by that wild mage?"
"That's right, a low-level mage who is rejected by the mainstream mage group and can only linger at the second level all his life, his talent is far beyond everyone's imagination, but this era has no room for him to develop at all," Gao Wen sighed. Starting with the notebook in his hand, "I've read some of the research notes in it these days. In my opinion, the value of this notebook is at least half a duchy."
Hetty was dumbfounded: "Huh?!"
However, what Gao Wen said was not exaggerated at all. In fact, from the perspective of technological development, the legacy left by the unknown wild mage will even show higher and higher value as time goes by, even though he All the researches in this field are in the initial stages, but Gao Wen is quite clear that for many epoch-making concepts and ideas, the "inception stage" is the most valuable stage.
Gawain put the notebook on the table and looked up at Hetty: "His daughter, that child named Annie is most likely suffering from elemental assimilation disease of the shadow system, which can be said to be the rarest of many mana diseases. Kind of, as a mage, you should be familiar with this disease."
"Elemental assimilation... This is a disease unique to the Violet Kingdom. The incidence rate is very low, but there is no cure." Hetty nodded slightly, "I guessed it when I saw those diaries."
In this world with magical power, there are many things that are completely different from Gawain's home world. There are good and bad things among them-element assimilation disease is one of the worst things.
This kind of disease caused by the erosion of magic power is more common in areas with strong magic power and active elements. During the Gondor Empire period, it often occurred in the Deep Blue Well area of the imperial capital, and it was almost an incurable disease even when the empire was in its heyday. One; in this era, it is the "special product" of the Violet Kingdom in the north of the mainland.
If extraordinary power has brought a gift of nature to humans in this world, then the elemental assimilation that accompanies it is like the malice mixed in this gift.
Elemental assimilation disease can only appear in newborns. It is a mutation phenomenon caused by the magic energy radiation of the fetus during the development of the mother. Children with this disease can grow normally at first, but as they age, they will gradually Showing signs of erosion and assimilation by specific elements. The patient's flesh and blood body is transformed in this process, and gradually begins to semi-elementalize, and as the normal biological tissue is elementalized little by little, they will also be rejected from the main material world—except for a very small number of special Except for the gifted race, no elemental creature can exist in the main material world for a long time. This is the natural law of this world.
This process accelerates as the disease deepens and is irreversible. When more than half of a person's biological tissue is elementalized, he will be "exiled" from the material world and pushed to the elemental plane corresponding to his elemental assimilation disorder go.
Then die between the material world and the elemental world - the remaining biological tissue of the patient will make this process extremely terrifying, like tearing.
Anne, the daughter of the unknown wild mage, should have suffered from this disease, and it is the elemental assimilation of the shadow tendency: the rarest kind of elemental assimilation.
Masters and scholars have studied various elemental worlds for many years, but only for the mysterious shadow world, the research is difficult.
"Elemental assimilation disease has no cure, it can only be delayed, and the most effective 'delay' method is to bind the patient's body with magical power, just like those elemental summoners use magic shackles to force an elemental creature to stay in the material world. "Although Hetty is only a low-level mage, she still has a good understanding of these theoretical knowledge, "It's just that this is more difficult than restraining an elemental creature, because the elemental assimilation disease will continue to deepen, and the whole process requires continuous infusion of magic power Only then can... "
"A second-level mage, or a second-level mage who was rejected in the secret society, has neither the ability nor the financial resources to maintain this kind of expensive treatment," Gawain nodded, "so he used his own method - to build a system with unprecedented efficiency. self-charging magic circle, and broke the iron law that similar magic circles can only circulate internally, and turned this magic circle into a device for 'charging' his daughter. It can be said that he was forced out, because all The large magic power focus has already been occupied, and the scattered secondary magic power focus in the forest can't provide much energy at all, but he solved this problem with his special talent."
"But that abnormal surge of magic power destroyed his magic circle..." Hetty suddenly thought of something, "In this case, wouldn't this self-charging magic circle named 'Magic Net' have a big flaw ? When the magic power surges up, it will not be able to bear it... "
"No, the upsurge of magic power did not destroy the structure of the magic circle. It has very complete security measures," Gao Wen shook his head. "I saw the structure of the magic circle with my own eyes at the time, and I can be sure that it was intact until the end. According to In the diary of the wild mage, it was not the magic circle that went wrong in the end, but the "shadow transformation" ritual he performed. The magic restraint can only delay the process of elemental assimilation, but it cannot cure it. At that time, Anne was on the verge of losing control, so the wild The mage risked a ritual beyond his control—and it turned out that the web created more magic than he could handle as it surged."
"If that's the case...then I don't worry about it," Hetty nodded slowly, and then looked at the notes left by the wild mage with a complicated expression, "It's really unimaginable that a down-and-out wild mage can make such a thing. This kind of thing... This large magic circle made up of basic units is different from any magic circle I know, it almost abandons all complicated and difficult structures, but brings... simplicity to the extreme."
"Please call it 'universal'," Gawain smiled, "The work of laying the experimental 'magic net' in the blacksmith shop is..."
While speaking, he hesitated between Hetty and Rebecca. It is obviously more appropriate to hand over the technical work of laying the magic circle to Hetty. However, Hetty has already undertaken most of the work of coordinating the construction of the camp. Although she is very capable in this area, the next task of building a magic laboratory Still waiting for her, Gawain really didn't want to continue to add to her burden; it seemed okay to leave it to Rebecca. Although she could only release fireballs, laying a magic circle was different from casting spells by oneself, especially this kind of self-charging ability. For the magic circle, as long as she can complete the construction according to the drawings, all she needs is a mastery of theoretical knowledge and computing power, but how should I put it...
Every time I see Rebecca, I can't help but look like a silly roe deer... Is this girl really good
As if seeing Gawain's hesitation, Rebecca jumped up without waiting for Hetty to say anything: "Master Ancestor! Leave it to me! I can do it!"
"Are you sure?" Gao Wen took a deep look at the other party, "The importance of this project is beyond your imagination. It can be said to be a foundation and a precursor to many of my future plans... Can you handle it?"
Rebecca stopped jumping immediately, thought for a while, and looked at Gawain timidly: "Then... if I break it, will you hit me?"
Gao Wen: "...Forget it, Hetty is still yours..."
But before he finished speaking, Rebecca plucked up her courage and said loudly, "But I still want to try!"
Gao Wen looked at the girl with interest: "Oh?"
"This magic circle... this magic circle looks very interesting to me. I think there are many places... all very good, maybe I can... can..." Rebecca stuttered a little, and she didn't say anything for a long time In the follow-up, I just bit the bullet and said, "Although I can only fireball, I have good theoretical knowledge! I also have good calculation skills! Besides, Aunt Hetty has been so busy recently, and I have nothing but surveys I didn’t do anything other than save the land and help everyone burn wasteland. I think…”
Seeing Rebecca's nervous appearance, Gawain couldn't help laughing, and looked at Hetty: "Hetty, what do you mean?"
"Rebecca's theoretical knowledge and calculation ability are indeed very strong. In fact, aside from the most important item of spellcasting ability, her talent is better than mine." Hetty looked at Rebecca helplessly. It would be nice to be more stable."
"I'm sure I'll be steady!" Rebecca puffed her chest out vigorously, but her eyes were fixed on the drawings that Gawain put on the table, which made Gawain a little curious.
So he couldn't help asking: "Are you very interested in this magic circle?"
"Yeah," Rebecca scratched her hair, "Actually, I thought about it a long time ago, if only those difficult magics could be made easier, and if I could make casting them easier, maybe I could also release them." Spells other than fireball... this magic circle inspired me a lot!"
Gawain immediately stared straight at Rebecca, and this time he gave the little girl a creepy look.
But a few seconds later, Gao Wen laughed: "Very well, then I will leave this matter to you."
Rebecca was overjoyed: "Really?!"
"Of course it's true," Gao Wen conveniently pulled out another piece of paper from under the table, which was his rough sketch of the "Blacksmith Shop", "according to this scale, the entire yard can be used as a 'magic net' covering At the same time, build the first batch of furnaces here first. You can take the materials needed to draw the magic circle from the treasure house in the mountain, where they are all ready-although the scale of the magic circle is large, it is a 'basic magic circle', I believe that the ready-made magic metal in the treasury and the quartz sand that Knight Phillip brought from Tanzania will be enough for you.
"This experimental magic net is called Magic Net No. 1."
Rebecca, who was entrusted with the important task, left happily, while Hetty continued to be busy instructing the serfs and civilians who had just arrived at the camp to set up tents. For a while, only Gawain and Amber were left in the big tent.
"You look very happy?" The half-elf lady looked Gawain's expression up and down, "I never saw you so happy when I got the document from the old king - it was because of molesting, once, once... Is the great-granddaughter interesting?"
Gao Wen: "..."
Can this guy die if he speaks nicely
