Chapter 700 701. Word of Runes
Returning to Castletown by boat, Roy drove to the Magic Guild in the upper city without stopping. He walked into the Magic Guild to inquire about it and saw those wearing magic robes. The magic apprentices were coming and going, smelling the aroma of magic herbs emanating from the room, and listening to the bargaining voices of the magic apprentices and the shopkeeper. Roy was in a daze. Thinking about it, he had actually left the Elf Academy for several years. It's time.
Going up the stairs, Roy held the teleportation pass given by the great magician Grimes in his hand, and the journey was smooth when he met the magic guards.
The teleportation hall is located on the top floor of the Magic Guild Mage Tower. Roy strode in based on the path in his memory.
A magician walked up and stopped Roy with his hand.
"Child, where do you want to go?"
Roy handed over the teleport pass in his hand and said: "Moyobamba."
The teleporter saw Roy I carefully checked the authenticity of the teleportation pass in my hand. I saw that the signature on the teleportation pass was Grimes. I looked at Roy with some surprise and then said to him:
"This The recommender on the teleportation pass is the Great Magician Grimes. Are you...?"
"My friend, the Great Magician Grimes, we have fought side by side in the Dark Land." Luo. Yi replied.
The mage puts his right hand on his left shoulder...
This is the etiquette between magicians.
The magician will only make such an action when he shows respect to the other party.
Roy hesitated for a moment. He felt that he was no longer a priest and was not suitable for priest etiquette, so after thinking for a while, he still gave a military salute.
When separated from the great magician Grimes, Grimes told Roy that as long as you hold this magic pass, you can go to any elf city with a portal.
The Great Magician Grimes is Roy's recommender, and the recommender is also the nominal guarantor.
The Magic Guild approves the use of teleportation gates by elves with teleportation passes, which only means that those with teleportation passes are qualified to teleport. If you want to teleport between cities, you still have to pay a high teleportation fee.
Of course, what Roy lacks most now is magic crystal, and he can still accept it once in a while.
Moyobamba City is a rainforest city in the southern part of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. If Roy wants to go to Waupeye City, he must pass through Moyobamba...
Roy Without even leaving Moyobamba's magic tower, he passed through the portal here and came directly to Waupeye City.
...
Wopeye City has always been called the magical city of the Silver Moon Kingdom by the elves.
The entire city is dominated by magicians. Most of the elves living in this strange town are engaged in magic-related professions, and there are many magicians in the city.
The streets and alleys here are full of magical elements.
Roy walked out of the magic tower of the Tree of Life and went directly to a house according to the address left to him by the great magician Grimes.
During the recent period, Grimes happened to be conducting a magic research in Waupeye City, so Roy came to Waupeye City and found this place based on the address left to him by the great magician Grimes.
Roy found a doorbell outside the gate. After ringing the doorbell, a Silver Moon Elf girl wearing a magic apprentice robe quickly ran out to open the door. She held a fir staff in her hand. , looks a bit weird.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I am Roy. I am here to visit the Great Magician Grimes. Does he live here?"
"Then wait, I'll ask."
The little girl's voice is very soft and waxy, and her voice is very nice.
She turned around and ran back. After a while, she saw the great magician Grimes walking quickly from the house.
The courtyard door was pushed open by the Great Magician Grimes himself. The Great Magician Grimes stepped forward and gave Roy a big hug, and said to Roy with a smile: "I thought you were here last week. I will come here soon. There are only two portal transfers from Castletown City to Waupeye City. Why did it take so long?”
“Let’s take you to see my magic first.” Laboratory!" Archmage Grimes said to Roy excitedly.
After that, he took Roy into the house, and several magicians and magic apprentices followed obediently behind them.
This house is not the wooden house that the elves like, but a house made of rock. The laboratory of the great magician Grimes is located in the living room of the house. There are six blackboards around the living room, which are filled with shapes. There are magic symbols of different colors, and the writing table in the middle is covered with magic parchment.
Roy knew nothing about magic, so naturally he couldn't understand those magic symbols.
The Great Magician Grimes pointed to a piece of magic parchment on the test bench and introduced to Roy:
"Magic itself... is actually made up of countless magic runes. Complex patterns, every magician is studying runes in order to obtain more magical magical effects. And I have been studying...how to apply magic runes in combat. This is the magic topic I chose."
Roy took a rest here and waited for Grimes. The great magician arranged the things at hand, and then heard him say:
"Roy, let's go! I'll take you to see Master Tias!"
"At the magic pattern construction substrate auction a few days ago, he even asked me about you!"< br>
"He said that the ice dragon leather armor has been made. Let's try it on first. If there is no problem, we will take it to engrave the magic pattern array." The great magician of Grimes, Feng Feng Huohuo, came over and said An assistant held a magic robe and trotted behind him.
Roy put down his tea cup and stood up with the great magician Grimes.
“That’s great.”
...
There was a carriage parked at the gate of the yard. When the carriage driver saw Grimes coming out of the yard, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, walked around to the carriage and opened the carriage door diligently, please. Grimes the Great Magician gets in the car.
The Archmage Grimes took Roy to the leather workshop.
A group of silver moon elves surrounded the door of the workshop. Several of these silver moon elves were dressed like businessmen.
Roy was a little curious, so he approached the great magician Grimes and asked him in a low voice:
"Why are there so many people waiting?"
The Great Magician Grimes pointed to the wooden sign hanging at the door of the leather workshop and explained: "Today is the day when the leather workshop sells leather armor. , these elves come from all over to buy leather armor. Master Tias Inscription is in Wope. Ye City is very famous, and the demand for leather armor has always been in short supply."
There were two elf apprentices standing at the door of the workshop. Probably because the shop was too crowded, they stood outside the door to limit the flow. Only one person who comes out of the queue can enter.
Gram Mage Grimes walked over and whispered a few words in the ear of the elf apprentice. The elf apprentice immediately went to the workshop to report. When the apprentice came out of the workshop again, he was followed by a leatherworker. He led the great magician Grimes and Roy into the leatherworker from the side. Inside the courtyard of the square.
In the yard of the leather workshop, many leather craftsmen are busy processing leather.
Tias, the master leatherworker, was standing next to a large boiling pot. He was wearing only a leather apron and his upper body was naked. He was holding a piece of softened leather in his hand and quickly stuffed it into a shaping mold.
He moves very skillfully and has a unique rhythm.
When making leather armor, especially breastplates and shoulder armors, trousers, boots, etc., the leatherworker must have a strong sense of space.
When sewing leather armor, each piece of leather armor is not flat. Instead, it needs to be made into a shape that best fits the body according to various parts of the human body, and then sewn together, thick leather armor will look like metal. Just like armor, it has an extremely close-fitting design...
In addition, the leatherworker must be careful enough in handling the joints of the leather armor.
The elbows, armpits, ribs, waist and abdomen, etc. not only need to be soft enough, but some places also need to be layered or cut off.
The Great Magician Grimes and Roy watched for a while. After Master Tias finished handling the matters at hand, he motioned to his assistant to untie his leather apron and put it on. Wearing a linen robe, he waved to the Archmage Grimes and Roy, and kept complaining as he walked:
“I made this set of ice dragon leather armor two weeks ago. I thought you would come and pick it up in advance, but I didn't expect that I have been waiting for you for two weeks... This high-end dragon leather armor is placed in the workshop warehouse, which makes me nervous every day, not to mention how valuable it is. But if I really lose it, where can I get such a big piece of ice dragon leather!”
The warehouse door was opened by Master Tias, and there were rows of exquisitely crafted high-grade leather armors inside. There was even some magic halo on it...
Roy's eyes fell on a large magic-sealing box in the innermost part of the warehouse. Tias led the two of them inside and stood in front of the magic-sealing box. , the lid of the box was not locked. After opening the lid, there was a set of ice blue thick leather armor inside. This set of thick leather armor was obviously much thicker than ordinary leather armor, especially the shoulder armor and breastplate looked more obvious. .
"Try it on. If it doesn't fit, I can change the size..." Master Tias stared at Roy and said.
Before Roy came to the leather workshop, he only wore a linen shirt and bloomers. Now he only needed to put the leather armor on his body.
Soon a whole set of ice dragon leather armor was put on Roy.
It fits perfectly, no need to resize.
Furthermore, Master Tias also considered that Roy might grow taller and stronger in the future, so this set of ice dragon leather armor also left some room for Roy to grow.
The tailor-made large leather armor suit is indeed different. Each piece completely matches Roy's physical characteristics...
After a few moves, he even took out the flail and the Book of Judgment, and gently He waved his arms twice and raised his legs.
"How is it?" Grimes asked Roy.
“Very comfortable.”
Roy praised sincerely.
"Of course, Master Tias' craftsmanship in making leather armor is definitely the best in Wopeye City."
Gram Mage Grimes praised.
......
After coming out of the leather workshop, Grimes said to Roy:
"Let's go, I will take you to see Master Altis."< br>
Altis is giving a public class in his apartment.
The assistants beside Master Altis brought Grimes and Roy into the class. The two walked in from the back door and sat down in the corner.
At this moment, the inscription master Altis is standing on the podium. On the table of the podium are some magic runes made of metal.
Master Altis quickly arranged the runes in a special way to form a magic pattern array, and then quickly shuffled the order and quickly created another one.
The young magicians in the classroom exclaimed one after another...
Altis remained silent the entire time.
The movements of his hands were very fast, and the young magicians could only stare at the blackboard with all their concentration, taking notes quickly with their hands.
Unfortunately, because Altis moved so quickly, many magicians failed to write down the arrangement of these runes, and another combination of runes had already appeared on the blackboard.
“This is an open class for junior inscription masters. These magic pattern formations are actually in the book, but for these junior inscription masters to slowly understand them by themselves, I estimate that they will take at least a few months. He has time to practice, and now Altis has arranged these magic pattern arrays on the blackboard. The magic pattern arrays he laid out are basically the optimal solutions," Grimes explained to Roy in a low voice.
Roy nodded as if he understood. He was listening carefully to Master Altis's understanding of the magic pattern array.
In fact, magic and magic have many similarities.
Magic uses magic spells, and divine magic uses prayers. Magic requires drawing magic patterns, and divine magic requires drawing divine patterns.
They look similar on the surface, but in fact they are very different.
The essence of magic is the combination of runes.
Different runes can be combined to create powerful magic, and spells are created to inspire specific spells.
The essence of divine magic is the power of faith.
After learning so many magical arts, Roy discovered that when performing magical arts, prayers and the power of holy light form magical arts. Divine patterns were created by the priests to stimulate magical arts... …
Roy was a little distracted at this time. When his attention fell on Master Altis again, Just listen to what Master Altis is saying:
"The inscriber arranges some runes in a specific way, so that the magic pattern array can gain some unexpected magical power."
"...This is the language of runes I have been exploring."
When he said this, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and all the magicians' attention was focused on him.
He glanced around, leaned against the podium, holding two metal runes in his hands, and then said very casually:
"Let me give you an example. Everyone knows that this symbol represents thunder. If we engrave this magic rune on a weapon, we will create a magic weapon. Warriors use such a magic weapon. When attacking an enemy, an electric arc will be triggered on the weapon. The strength of the arc depends on the warrior's affinity for the lightning attribute. "
"If this rune is used as the basis, the weapon will be engraved with '. Concentrate the magic pattern array, then this weapon will cast lightning when used!"
