Path of Light.

Chapter 700 701. Rune Language
After returning to Castletown by boat, Roy took a car to the Magic Guild in the upper town without stopping. He walked into the Magic Guild to inquire. Seeing the magic apprentices in magic robes coming and going, smelling the fragrance of magic herbs emanating from the room, and listening to the bargaining between the magic apprentices and the shop owners, Roy felt a little dazed. He thought that he had been away from the Elf Academy for several years.

Walking up the stairs, Roy held the teleportation pass given by the great magician Grahams in his hand, and he had no obstruction when he met magic guards.

The teleportation hall was located on the top floor of the Magic Guild's Mage Tower. Roy strode in based on the path he remembered.

A magician came up and stopped Roy with his hand.

"Where do you want to go, kid?"

Roy handed over the teleportation pass in his hand and said, "Moyo Bamba."

The teleporter saw the teleport pass in Roy's hand and carefully checked its authenticity. He saw that the signature on the teleport pass was Grahams. He looked at Roy in surprise and said to him:
"The recommender on this teleportation pass is the Great Magician Grams. Who are you...?"

"My friend, Great Magician Grems, we once fought side by side in the Dark Land," Roy replied.

The mage placed his right hand on his left shoulder...

This is the etiquette between magicians.

A magician would only make such a gesture when he wanted to show respect to the other party.

Roy hesitated for a moment. He felt that he was no longer a priest and was not suitable for the etiquette of a priest, so after thinking about it, he saluted.

When they separated from the great magician Grems, Grems told Roy that as long as he had this magic pass, he could go to any elven city with a portal.

The great magician Grames is Roy's recommender, and the recommender is also the nominal guarantor.

The Magic Guild recognizes elves with teleportation passes to use the teleportation gate, which only means that having a teleportation pass means you are eligible for teleportation. If you want to teleport between cities, you still have to pay a high teleportation fee.

Of course, what Roy lacks the least now is magic crystals, so he can accept teleporting once in a while.

Moyobamba City is a rainforest city in the south of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. If Roy wants to go to Wopeye City, he has to pass through Moyobamba...

Roy didn't even walk out of Moyobamba's magic tower, but passed through the portal here and came directly to the city of Wopeye.

……

The city of Wopeye 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 little city are engaged in magic-related professions, and there are also a lot of 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 came directly to a house according to the address left to him by the great magician Grams.

Grams happened to be conducting a magic research in Wopeye City recently, so when Roy came to Wopeye City, he found this place according to the address left to him by the great magician Grams.

Roy found a doorbell outside the gate. After ringing the doorbell, a Silver Moon elf girl wearing a magic apprentice robe ran out to open the door. She was holding a cedar staff in her hand and looked a little weird.

"Who are you looking for?"

"My name is Roy. I'm here to visit the great wizard Grahams. Does he live here?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask."

The little girl's voice is very soft and sweet, and her voice is very nice.

She turned and ran back, and soon she saw the great magician Grams walking quickly out of the house.

The gate was pushed open by the great magician Grams himself. He stepped forward and gave Roy a big hug. He smiled and said to Roy, "I thought you would come last week. It only takes two portals to get from Castletown to Wopeye. What took you so long?"

"Come on, let me take you to see my magic laboratory first!" Great Magician Grahams said to Roy excitedly.

After saying that, he took Roy into the house, and several magicians and magic apprentices followed them obediently.

This house is not the wooden house that the elves like, but a house built of rocks. The laboratory of the great magician Grams is located in the living room of the house. There are six blackboards around the living room, which are covered with various magic symbols. The desk in the middle is covered with magic parchment.

Roy knew nothing about magic, so naturally he couldn't understand those magic symbols.

Great Magician Grams pointed at a piece of magic parchment on the test bench and introduced it to Roy:
"Magic itself... is actually a complex pattern made up of countless magic runes. Every magician is studying runes, hoping to obtain more magical effects. I have been studying... how to apply magic runes to combat. This is the magic subject I chose."

Roy rested for a while at Grams's place, waiting for the great magician to arrange the matters at hand, and then he heard him say:

"Roy, let's go! I'll take you to see Master Tias!"

"At the auction of magic pattern construction base materials a few days ago, he asked me about you!"

"He said that the set of ice dragon leather armor has been completed. Let's try it on first. If there is no problem, we will use it to engrave magic patterns and formations." The great magician Grams came over hurriedly, and an assistant followed him jogging with a magic robe in his hand.

Roy put down his teacup and stood up following the great magician Grams.

"That's great."

……

There was a carriage parked at the gate of the yard. When the coachman saw Graham coming out of the yard, he immediately jumped off the carriage swiftly, walked around to the side of the carriage, opened the door attentively, and invited the great magician Graham to get in.

Great Wizard Grams brought Roy to the leatherworking workshop.

A group of Silver Moon Elves gathered at the entrance of the workshop, some of whom were dressed as businessmen.

Roy was a little curious, so he approached the Great Magician Grams and asked him in a low voice:
"Why are so many people waiting?"

Grand Magician Grems pointed to the wooden sign hanging on the door of the leather workshop and explained, "Today is the day when the leather workshop sells leather armor. These elves are coming from all over to buy leather armor. Master Inscriptionist Tias is very famous in the city of Wopeye, and the leather armor he makes has always been in short supply."

There were two elf apprentices standing at the door of the workshop. Perhaps because the shop was too crowded, they were standing outside the door to limit the flow of people. Only when one buyer came out could one buyer waiting in line outside go in.

The Great Magician Grams walked over and whispered something 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 Grams and Roy into the yard of the leatherwork workshop from the side.

In the yard of the leather workshop, many leather craftsmen are busy processing leather.

The leatherworking master Tias was standing next to a boiling pot. He was only wearing a leather apron, with his upper body naked. He was holding a piece of softened leather in his hand, which he quickly stuffed into a shaping mold.

He moves very skillfully and has a unique rhythm.

When making leather armor, especially breastplates and shoulder armor, trouser armor, boots, etc., the leatherworker must have a strong control over the sense of space.

When sewing leather armor, each piece of leather armor is not flat, but is made into the shape that best fits the body according to the various parts of the human body, and then sewn together. The thick leather armor will be like metal armor, with an extremely close-fitting design...

In addition, the leatherworker must be meticulous in the treatment of the joints of the leather armor.

Elbows, armpits, ribs, waist and abdomen, etc., not only need to be soft enough, some places also need to be layered or cut.

Great Magician Grams and Roy watched for a while. After Master Tias finished his work, he signaled his assistant to untie his leather apron, put on a linen robe, waved to Great Magician Grams and Roy, and kept complaining as he walked:
"I rushed to make this set of ice dragon leather armor two weeks ago. I thought you would come to pick it up in advance, but I didn't expect that I had to wait for you for two weeks... This high-end dragon leather armor is kept in the workshop warehouse. I am worried every day. It's not because of how valuable it is, but if it is really lost, where can I get such a large piece of ice dragon leather!"

The door of the warehouse was opened by Master Tias, and inside were rows of exquisitely crafted high-grade leather armors, some of which even had some magical halos on them...

Roy's eyes fell on a large magic-sealing box at the back of the warehouse. Tias led the two of them in and stood in front of the magic-sealing box. The lid was not locked. After opening the lid, a complete set of ice-blue thick leather armor was placed inside. This set of thick leather armor was obviously much thicker than ordinary leather armor, especially the shoulder armor and chest armor.

"Try it on. If there's any part that doesn't fit, I can change the size..." Master Tias said, staring at Roy.

Before Roy came to the leather workshop, he was only wearing a linen shirt and bloomers, and now all he had to do was put on the leather armor.

Soon a complete set of ice dragon leather armor was put on Roy.

Fits perfectly, no need for alteration of size.

Master Tias also took into account 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 leather armor set is indeed different. Each piece is completely in line with Roy's physical characteristics...

He moved around a few times, even took out the flail and the Book of Judgment, gently waved his arms twice, and raised his legs.

"How is it?" Grimes asked Roy.

"very comfortable."

Roy praised sincerely.

"Of course. Master Tias's skill in making leather armor is definitely the best in the city of Wopeye."

Great Magician Grams praised.

……

Coming out of the leather workshop, Grahams said to Roy:
"Come on, I'll take you to see Master Altis."

Artis is giving a public class in his residence.

Master Altis' assistant brought Grems and Roy to the classroom. The two walked in through the back door and sat down in the corner.

At this moment, the inscription master Artis was standing on the podium, and on the table of the podium were 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 disrupted the order and quickly arranged another one.

The young magicians in the classroom exclaimed in amazement...

Altius didn't say a word the whole time.

His hands moved so quickly that the young magicians could only stare at the blackboard intently, taking notes quickly.

Unfortunately, because Artis arranged the runes too quickly, many magicians were unable to remember the arrangement of the runes, and another rune combination appeared on the blackboard.

"This is an open class for junior inscription masters. These magic runes and arrays are actually all in the books, but these junior inscription masters need to slowly comprehend them by themselves. I estimate that they will need at least several months of practice. Now Artis has arranged these magic runes and arrays on the blackboard. The magic runes and arrays he has arranged are basically the optimal solutions." Grahams explained to Roy in a low voice.

Roy nodded as if he understood, and he was listening carefully to Master Altis's explanation of his understanding of the magic pattern array.

In fact, magic and divine arts have many similarities.

Magic uses spells, divine arts use prayers, magic requires the drawing of magic patterns and arrays, divine arts requires the drawing of divine patterns.

They may look similar on the surface, but they are actually very different.

The essence of magic is the combination of runes.

Different runes combined together can create powerful magic, and spells are created to activate specific spells.

The essence of divine magic is the power of faith.

After learning so many divine arts, Roy discovered that when performing divine arts, prayers and the power of holy light formed divine arts, and divine patterns were created by the priests to stimulate divine arts...

Roy was a little distracted at this time. When his attention returned to Master Altis, he heard Master Altis saying:
"The inscription master arranges some runes in a specific way, which will allow the magic array to gain some unexpected magical power."

"…This is the rune language I have been exploring."

When he said this, the classroom suddenly became quiet and all the magicians' attention was focused on him.

He looked around, leaned on the podium, held two metal runes in his hands, and said casually:
"Let me give you an example. Everyone knows that this symbol represents thunder. When we carve this magic rune on a weapon, it will create a magic weapon. When warriors use such a magic weapon to attack the enemy, an arc of electricity will be generated on the weapon. The strength of the arc depends on the warrior's affinity for the lightning attribute."

"If we use this rune as a basis and engrave a 'clustering' magic pattern array on the weapon, then this weapon will release lightning when used!"
