my age of magic

Chapter 1208 12. Anecdotes about the Dock ([-])

Senior Dylan and I carefully inspected the drawing and assembly of these fine gold rune plates on the five-masted sailing ship. If it is not an assembled magic pattern circle, only check the drawing of the magic pattern circle on a single rune plate , it can be said that these metal rune plates are drawn well.

However, the inscription master obviously ignored the most difficult problem in the assembled magic pattern circle, that is, during the assembly process, the magic intersecting lines between the rune plates are more or less misplaced. This can be said to be the most important part of the assembled magic circle. Open the design drawings of senior Dylan, and the detailed coordinate points connected by each magic intersecting line are clearly marked on it.

The inscriber obviously didn't take this detail seriously. Although these magic intersecting lines are barely connected together, the overall connection is not so smooth. It seems that this is what caused the entire magic pattern on the entire five-masted sailing ship The main reason why the magic circle cannot function normally.

I remember that Yerkes scholar and I had repeatedly discussed this aspect when we made the combined magic pattern armor shoulder armor for Teresa's rock golem at the Junior School of War Magic, and Yerkes scholar later also Several papers related to it have been published in magical newspapers.

At that time, the Yerkes scholar was not as well-known in the imperial capital as he is now, and almost no one knew him.

But when it comes to the combined magic circle, Yerkes scholars still have some unique insights.

"It turns out that you have been busy with this for the past few months." I stood on the deck of the five-masted sailing boat, holding the side of the boat with both hands and looking at the sparkling golden lake in the distance, and said to Senior Dylan.

"Yes!" Senior Dylan said casually beside me.

A female assistant tied the cloak on Senior Dylan. He has lost a lot of weight recently, probably because he was overworked.

Senior Dylan said to me: "After my thesis was published, the project on the mobile magic teleportation array was announced to start, and the attitude of the Stargazer Union is also very positive, so the initial investment funds are also sufficient. The union has always been very generous with this technological innovation of teleportation magic."

He stretched out his hand and patted the thick side of the ship, and said: "And these sea ships are just a preliminary idea. After all, these sea ships can only sail in vast sea areas. According to the meaning of the big men above, it is best to be able to transfer mobile magic. Move the array to the magic airship."

"Hey, they really dare to think!" I took a deep breath and said in surprise.

If you think about it carefully, this proposal is still feasible.

I couldn't help asking Senior Dylan: "At the beginning, they bought [-] fish skin hoods from me in one go. Did they make a special trip to thank me for this?"

Senior Dylan said, "This doesn't seem to be the case. As far as I know, it is the vice president of our union who has divination skills who determined that your fish skin hood is worth the money."

……

It was almost dusk when the Yerkes scholar's magic caravan arrived at the dock.

The setting sun emerged from the gray clouds, sandwiched between the clouds and the top of Mount Majaro, like a flat egg yolk after a broken eggshell, the light became a little dim, but still the Weiyang Lake Wharf The shadows of the last ten five-masted galleons stretched long.

The boatmen hung the lanterns on the wooden frame, and the lanterns lit up one after another in the lighted place, and the buckets of steaming broth and the golden and crispy wheat cakes were burned by people. When they carried it to the construction site, the boatmen sat around the pier and had a meal. At the request of Senior Dylan, they had to remove all the gold rune plates on a five-masted sailing ship before dawn.

The evening wind in early spring brought a biting chill. After Scholar Yerkes came up with his assistant, Senior Dylan and I directly took him to inspect these adamantine rune tablets on the spot.

The Yerkes scholar didn't say a word at first. He held the blueprint in his hand, and five low-light flares floated behind him, carefully comparing the blueprints on it.

He did not draw conclusions hastily, but checked more than a dozen places one after another. Every time he went to one place, his brows were deeply furrowed. He groped for the magic pattern on the pure gold rune board, and then With the help of his assistants, he struggled to climb onto the bow of the five-masted sailboat.

After walking in such a circle, his body seemed a bit overwhelmed, and a layer of sweat dripped from his forehead. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.

Yerkes stood on the deck to adjust his breath, then rubbed his shoulders and said, "I guess it's been too long since I haven't moved, and I can't even climb the boat with my current physical strength, hey!"

I brought a wooden bucket from the side of the boat and told the Yerkes scholar to sit down and rest.

Scholar Yerkes sighed softly, and said regretfully, "I've looked at ten parts of the rune board's magic circle area, and the situation is not optimistic."

Senior Dylan asked the Yerkes scholar: "Is there no remedy?"

Scholar Yerkes shook his head slightly, and then said: "The maker doesn't have any experience in drawing combined magic pattern circles. It can be said that these magic pattern circles look exquisite. The magic pattern on a single rune board The lines are very smooth, but after splicing, almost all the intersecting lines are out of shape, which makes these adamantine rune plates impossible to remedy. When you make such a large combined magic pattern circle, let those inscriptions Let the master draw some small combined magic pattern circles, let them get familiar with it first."

"You mean, these adamantine rune tablets are worthless?" I asked.

"That's right, almost all the rune plates on this ship have to be replaced. As for how to deal with these rune plates, my suggestion is to return them to the furnace and recast them." Yerkes scholar said with affirmative tone.

Scholar Yerkes sentenced the adamantine rune tablets on these ships to death, and Senior Dylan didn't say anything more.

The three of us disembarked and left the dock.

Sitting on the magic caravan, Senior Dylan said to me earnestly: "Even if Ji Jia is not involved in this bet, I would like to ask you to come and help me. His Majesty Charles left me with a deadline of just over a month. Except for you, I guess no one else can complete such a redrawing task."

"Jijia, help me, this matter is really important to me." Senior Dylan said.

I nodded.

Then he said to me: "I will find a way to get the president of the Stargazers Union to come forward and ask the dean of the Royal Academy of Magic for a month's leave."

Scholar Yerkes and I looked at each other, and Scholar Yerkes sighed and said, "I can temporarily stop all the magic pattern construction plans on my side, but it's better to stick to the magic class."

"Let's go back to the Stargazer Union to make the rune board for the whole night. After all, I am already familiar with many things. Even if there are a few changes, I can handle it." I said to Senior Dylan: "Look at how many chapters of pure gold rune boards I can draw in one night."

Senior Dylan scratched his messy hair and said, "That's good, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it!"

While Scholar Yerkes and Senior Dylan were discussing the combined magic circle in the magic caravan, I made the magic caravan detour to the rune plate workshop, and used the two-day 'focus fire' The 'magic rune board' and the 'miniature tornado' magic rune board were handed over to Murray, which allowed the magic caravan to drive back to the stargazer union.

Scholar Yerkes is purely a magic theorist. He has almost no practical experience, but he can talk with Senior Dylan with his rich theoretical knowledge.

……

I stayed up all night in the magic laboratory of Senior Dylan of the Astrologers Guild.

Probably because I am very familiar with these blueprints, I hardly need to make any preparations before drawing. I directly compared the magic pattern circle on the blueprint and quickly drew it on the rune board. Senior Dylan's magic test bench is very large. I almost squatted on the rune board and drew magic lines on it.

To be honest, drawing this kind of adamantine rune tablet is far easier than making a magweave construct.

When there was a faint white streak in the sky, I stopped the magic engraving pen in my hand, and asked the magic assistant beside me who was holding the magic ink for me: "How many pure gold rune tablets have I drawn?"

The magic assistant quickly ran to the pile of magic rune boards that had been drawn, counted them carefully, and said to me in surprise: "53 pieces!"

I nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the drawing speed is quite fast. I actually drew 53 sheets of this large magic rune board in one go. I didn't expect to be able to draw so many sheets.

So, I made a rough calculation in my mind, and at this speed, it only takes me about 20 days to complete a set of drawing tasks for the mobile magic teleportation array.

Put the magic engraving pen back on the pen holder, stretched out, and saw Senior Dylan holding a pile of magic parchment drawings, leaning on the sofa in the rest area, sleeping soundly, with only a blanket on his body, and asked the person next to him Magician's assistant: "Why don't you let him lie on the bed for a while."

There is a small bed in the corner of Senior Dylan's magic laboratory, which is more comfortable than lying on the sofa anyway.

The magic assistant explained helplessly in a low voice: "Scholar Dylan has been up all night for the past few days, and it is rare to fall asleep today. We dare not disturb him. If he is carried to the bed at this time, he will probably wake up." It is very difficult to have such a chance to sleep soundly."

I said to the magic assistant: "Then let him sleep for a while. When he wakes up, tell him for me that I have gone to the Royal Academy of Magic and will come back in the afternoon."

The magic assistant immediately nodded and agreed, and said, "I'll call you a magic caravan."

I took a nap on the magic caravan, and meditated in the car with the tiredness until the magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic. The empty magic pool was refilled with magic power, and my spirit became very full.

I opened the carriage door and walked down. The sun had already climbed to the top of Mount Majaro, letting the first ray of sunshine fill the entire Imperial City.

There are already some magic students meditating against the rising sun on the grassland.

The magic students in the Royal Academy of Magic are selected from the best magic apprentices of the junior magic academies in various places. These magic students are all young people who are known as magic geniuses in the local magic academy. They not only have extremely high magical talents, And also very diligent, many magic students have the habit of doing morning exercises.

I passed among these magical students, and I hadn't tried to get up this early in a long time since I was recently in the second year.

After returning to the dormitory, I took a shower and changed into a magic robe. At this time, I didn’t feel sleepy at all. Seeing that it was still early before class, I opened the portal to Xinliu Valley in the bathroom, and walked Enter Xinliu Valley.

Katerina has been in the Hierro plane for several days, and this time I plan to bring her back from the Hierro plane.

She brought the blueprints of Trume Town to the Hierro plane. I calculated the time, and she should have given the blueprints to Bernd three days ago.

When I came to the hotel room owned by Mr. Billy, I happened to see Katerina sitting quietly by the window of the hotel room and watching the rain outside.

She saw me stepping out of the portal and gave me a gentle smile.
