Chapter 9 [Cleaning]
"The runes cannot be used directly and need to be engraved on the magic tool.
Thus the professions of magic tool enchanter and rune engraver were born."
Ronan couldn't help but feel refreshed when he saw this sentence.
What he plans to study is the profession of rune engraver.
Generally speaking, to make a magic tool, you need to first forge the prototype of the magic tool with materials, and then inscribe the runes desired by the maker on the core of the magic tool to give it power.
But if it is directly inscribed, if something goes wrong in the process, the entire instrument will be damaged and the material will be wasted.
Therefore, the usual procedure is for the rune master to first engrave the rune seal on the rune stone, and then the enchanter uses the rune stone engraved with the corresponding runes to enchant the magic tool.
In this way, even if the enchantment fails, only the rune stones will be lost, and the magic tool itself will not be affected.
The current mainstream professional skills in the wizarding world, including alchemy, blacksmithing, enchantment, and runes. Although rune engraving ranks at the bottom, once learned, it is enough for practitioners to live a better life than ordinary wizards.
Ronan chose rune engraving mainly because it has the lowest threshold and the lowest learning cost.
This is also the idea of the predecessor.
I flipped through more than half of the wizard book in my hand, and finally the specific content about rune imprinting appeared.
The book "Rune Literature: A Collection of Ten Commonly Used Zero-Level Runes" in Ronan's hand introduces a total of ten common zero-level rune imprinting methods.
These ten commonly used zero-level runes are - [Light Absorbing], [Cleaning], [Shining], [Conduction], [Strong], [Sharpness], [Protection], [Swiftness], and [Great Strength]. 】,【wide awake】.
Ronan was at the stall where he bought blank rune stones during the day, and had already made a preliminary understanding of the prices of most of the runes.
"The three runes [Absorb Light], [Clean], and [Shining] belong to the low-level zero level, with the lowest price, and generally only cost one or two pieces of magic stone.
Among the four zero-level intermediate runes of [Conduction], [Strongness], [Sharpness], and [Protection], the [Protection] rune is the most valuable, starting with five low-level magic stones.
As for the three runes [Swiftness], [Giant Power], and [Awakening], they are usually used on jewelry items such as rings and necklaces. They are zero-level advanced runes. Among them, the [Awakening] rune has the highest value and can It can enhance the effect of meditation during practice, focus on the mind during battle, improve the success rate of spell casting, and can also resist some mental spell attacks. The price is more than ten low-level magic stones. "
"These are the most common and common zero-level universal runes. If the rare spell runes are of the same level, the price will be much higher."
Ronan thought of the flaming dagger he saw at the market. It was definitely enchanted with some kind of rare fire spell rune.
"With these fifteen blank rune stones, even if I can only successfully engrave one of the most common and cheapest runes... it will be enough to pay for myself."
"Oh no, it should be twenty yuan!"
Ronan stood up quickly, rummaged through the glove box in the corner of the hut, and finally found a pile of rune stones and a palm-long knife.
Everything is naturally left over from its predecessors.
There are a total of forty rune stones, thirty-five of which are damaged scraps.
The knife is a special engraving knife for rune engraving. It is worth ten magic stone grains. It is the cheapest and most rubbish rune engraving knife. It can only be said to be barely usable without any additional bonus effects.
"Twenty blank runes, one successful one, it should be"
"It should be possible."
Ronan was not a fool either. The joking and mocking face of the stall owner who sold his blank rune stones during the day was still vivid in his mind. He didn't need to think about it to know that practicing with just a few blank rune stones would have little hope.
But he no longer had any extra magic stones to buy the second batch of training materials. These twenty blank rune stones were all his hope. If it doesn't work, you can only think of another way.
Of course, Ronan is not without confidence. The ability to solidify and improve his character panel is the reason why he dares to challenge the rune master. If he can do it as smoothly as when he practiced [Energy Missile]
Ronan shook his head and cleared up the thoughts in his mind. Put aside distracting thoughts and start focusing on what is in front of you.
After repeatedly weighing the difficulty of engraving and the value of the runes, Ronan finally selected the [Clean] rune among the three zero-level low-level runes as his first target for training.
The [Cleaning] rune comes from the zero-level spell [Cleaning], which can remove dust, absorb water, and remove dirt. It is one of the standard runes for wizard robes.
The robe Ronan is wearing is not a robe at all. It is just made of a slightly special material and is more stain-resistant than ordinary clothes. It is not enchanted with any runes.
The real wizard's robe enchanted with [Cleaning Technique] has its own cleaning function. Even if he wears it for several months without changing it, it will still be clean and fresh, and will not be stained with dirt.
The first step in rune engraving is to completely record the shape of the entire rune in your mind.
This is important.
Runes are the crystallization of the wizard's wisdom and hard work. They have undergone a lot of optimization and improvement, and every detail has its own unique purpose and function.
If it deviates slightly, it may not be as effective as it should be.
This step is hard work and requires rote memorization. There is no shortcut. Ronan spent a whole night and finally engraved the [Cleaning] rune shape like a curved broom firmly in his mind.
"GuluGulu——"
In the early morning, the door of the small tree house was open, and Ronan was standing in the house. Today's breakfast was being cooked in a small boiling pot on the stove in front of him.
After buying flour yesterday, Ronan wanted to make some noodles for himself.
I don’t know which link made the mistake. The rolled noodles fell apart as soon as they were cooked in the pot, and they became completely mushy after cooking for a while.
But the taste is quite fragrant.
Ronan didn't care anymore, just sprinkled some seasonings in and ate it like this.
"You can proceed to the next step of practice."
Ronan held the small pot directly and squatted on the tree branch at the door of the tree house, slurping the batter while thinking about his next plan.
After memorizing what the runes look like, the next thing to do is to copy and draw.
Once the drawing is familiar, practice carving it out with a carving knife.
The last step is to actually try to engrave.
Ronan didn't think he would be a genius in the field of rune engraving. He couldn't skip any of these necessary steps.
Life becomes regular again.
Exercise, meditation, spell practice, and now a rune study, Ronan's daily routine is full.
Although he was exhausted every day, he felt a sense of fulfillment that he had not experienced in a long time.
The last time I felt like this... It seemed like I was in my senior year of high school when I was sprinting for the college entrance examination.
