The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 414 Rules Magic Armor
"Elisa, is there any book about rule magic suits in the library?"

In the library of Garlon Wizard Academy, Richard stood next to the huge stone bookshelf and asked the elf in front of him.

The collection of books in the Garlon Wizard Academy is so vast that even the book catalogue takes a long time to flip through. If you want to find the book you need more efficiently, the best way is to ask the library elves for help.

Although these little ones don't seem to be very intelligent, their abilities as librarians are unquestionable.

They remember every book that comes into the library.

The price to mobilize them is just an elf lollipop worth ten magic stones.

Palm-sized Elina held a lollipop in her hand, with a thoughtful look on her pretty face.

"Rule Magic Armor? There are many books on this subject in the library. Do you want to borrow them all?"

"A lot?" Richard's face lit up. "More is better. What's the price for borrowing these books?"

"Well... a lot. Very much."

Elina showed a trace of distress on her face. She put the lollipop aside and said while counting on her fingers, "Some of these require magic essence, some require contribution points, and some require special identities.

Not sure which one you want? "

"Of the devil." Richard said without hesitation.

The only thing he can take out now is the magic essence.

"Well, let me calculate it for you."

Elina continued to count on her fingers for a long time before she said, "A total of 53,200 magic essences are needed, for a total of 73 books."

Upon hearing the price, Richard was stunned at first, then he took out the communication crystal ball.

This price was a little beyond his expectation. He didn't bring that much money this time.
Soon, the communication was connected and Jimmy's voice was heard from the crystal ball.

"I'm Jimmy, what do you want to see me for?"

"It's like this, Master." Richard smiled awkwardly, "I'm currently planning to borrow a batch of books from the library, which will cost a total of 53,200 magic essences. But I really don't have any with me..."

"How much? Why do you need so much magic essence?"

Jimmy interrupted Richard rudely, his voice sounding as if he had seen a ghost.

"Elina, did you miscalculate again? How many books did Richard borrow to cost 50,000 mojo!"

Hearing Jimmy's question, Elina, who was eating a lollipop, suddenly became anxious.

"No! I calculated it many times this time! Jimmy, if you tell anyone about my miscalculation again, I will... I will throw all your books at the bottom of the library catalog!"

Hearing Elina's threat, Jimmy's hearty laughter came from the crystal ball.

“Okay, since Elina’s calculations are correct, you can just read these books first.

As for those demon spirits... there's no rush. You can pay them back anyway, so just put them on the account for now."

Hearing Jimmy's answer, Elena nodded.

"Okay, I'll put it on the account first."

Jimmy hung up the crystal ball, and Elina drew a circle of glowing dust with her hand, then disappeared into the circle.

An hour later, Richard suddenly heard a gust of wind overhead.

I saw magic books as thick as the dictionary falling from the sky through a circle of light made of glowing dust.

Richard reached out his hands to catch the books, and soon all seventy-three books fell into Richard's hands. The books piled up were as high as three Richards.

"Okay, these are all the books you have borrowed."

Elina finally emerged from the aperture and lay on the top book like a salted fish.

"Thank you thank you."

Richard smiled and held the book with his magic hand, then took out another elf lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Elina.

But Elena saw it and waved her hands and shook her head, saying, "No, no, it's my duty to help you get the book. I can't accept your candy anymore."

Having said that, Elina drew a circle of light in the air and fled away.

Richard saw this scene and found it somewhat funny.

"I put the candy here, don't waste it."

After saying that, Richard put all the books on the side into his pocket and left on his own.

After a long time, a circle of light suddenly appeared around the lollipop. A small hand stretched out from the circle of light and took the lollipop into the circle of light.

"Oh, what a wizard! It's such a shame not to eat such good candy.

Alas, I can only refuse his candy next time.

But what was the wizard's name? Oh, Richard, remember this name, and don't ask for his candy next time."

……

Carrying these books worth 53,200 magic spirits, Richard immediately returned to the wizard tower.

In the study of the wizard tower, Richard numbered the borrowed books and placed them on the bookshelf one by one.

Then he began to swim in the ocean of knowledge.

From these books, Richard learned what the rule magic costumes were, how they were different from regular magic costumes, and some techniques for making rule magic costumes.

The so-called rule magic armor is, in essence, a magic armor that uses an alternative enchantment.

Ordinary magic suits use rune arrays to achieve certain effects, while rule magic suits use rules directly to achieve certain effects.

In principle, the fuel ring that Richard used to refine the radiation rules is a kind of rule magic suit, but its effect is quite special. However, one thing that rule magic suit is better than ordinary magic suit is that ordinary magic suit can be enchanted with rules, thus becoming a rule magic suit, thus achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

But these books are different about how to enchant rules and how to effectively make the rules work.

The idea of ​​making rule magic equipment can be roughly divided into two schools. One school is the material school. The way they use the rules is to directly imprint the rules on the materials, and then apply enchantments to the materials.

The other faction is the Rune Faction. They first create ordinary magic armor, then imprint the rules on the magic armor in the form of runes, and then let the rules directly amplify the rune array.

Each of these two schools has its own reasons, and the editors have cited a large number of experimental data in the book as their own arguments, and occasionally mixed in some personal attacks on other wizards.

It took Richard three years to read all the books.

After reading it, Richard felt like he was almost learning doublethink.

Various seemingly contradictory but all valid data kept colliding in his mind.

These collisions did not spark any inspiration, but instead gave Richard a splitting headache.

……

"This is a bit difficult to handle."

Richard looked at the communication crystal ball in his hand, and the news about Joe Lord in the crystal ball made Richard feel helpless.

As an alchemist who was promoted to the third ring wizard not much earlier than Richard, Qiao Luode also had no knowledge of rule magic equipment.

Before asking Joe Lord, Richard also asked Anna, and Anna gave the same reply.

"Alas, there is no research, it seems that the only way to gain true knowledge is through practice."

Richard placed a design drawing on the test bench. This was a distortion light meter that he designed during his three years of study.

Richard used the first production approach for this light meter, which is to imprint the rules into the material to change the properties of the material.

The advantage of this production method is its simplicity. Compared with using rules to enhance the rune array, this production idea does not change the process of making magic equipment. It does not require the wizard's own knowledge level to be so high, and is very suitable for novices.

"According to the book, the material that engraves the rules should preferably have no special features and be stable. This kind of material..."

Richard muttered to himself as he pulled out a piece of colorless crystal from his pocket.

This kind of crystal is called buffer crystal, and is a commonly used energy converter in alchemical machinery. It does not have any special properties and is extremely stable.

“And then there’s the branding rule.”

Richard turned his head to look at the left side of the test bench, where there was a row of green ice balls, each of which contained a ball of light.

These lights are arranged from large to small, the first one is the distortion rule, then the soul rule, then the nightmare rule, and the gestation rule, and the last and smallest one is the flesh and blood rule that Richard originally obtained.

Richard took the distortion rules to his side, then took out a black slate and began to draw an alchemical array on the test bench.

The branding rules require the assistance of extremely complex alchemical arrays, and all wizards who use this idea to create rule-based magic armor have this point clearly written in the book.

That is, the rules of branding must be incomplete.

Wizards who choose the rune school often use this point to attack wizards who choose the material school.

However, as of now, the material school’s idea is not wrong, it’s just that the technology alone is not enough.

The alchemical array that assists the branding is extremely complex. Richard has to draw nearly five million runes on a one-cubic-meter black stone platform.

This is an extremely long job.

Five years later.

"It's finally done."

Richard looked at the black stone slab on the test bench, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Then comes the final step."

Richard looked towards the other side of the test bench, where a black alchemy table was only missing the last stone slab to be complete.

Richard took the last slate and completed the alchemy table.

The next moment, the runes on the alchemy table gradually lit up, and dense runes spread across every corner of the alchemy table.

Soon, the light dissipated.

There was no longer any crack on the entire alchemy table, and the stone slabs were fused together into one.

Seeing this scene, Richard felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

The alchemy table is completed.

Without delay, Richard immediately installed a layer of outer shell on the alchemy table to protect it from damage.

Then, Richard opened the rift in the secret realm, pulled Ulysses to his side as insurance, and began to imprint the rules with the alchemy table.

Richard placed the buffer crystal in the middle of the alchemy table, and then released the ice ball that sealed the distortion rules.

The next moment, the alchemy table was lit up. A force field replaced the seal and trapped the distortion rules that were about to dissipate on the test table.

A drop of sweat slid down Richard's forehead. He carefully used the alchemy table to imprint the distortion rules into the buffer crystal.

After a long time, the alchemy platform dimmed again.

Richard leaned against the alchemy table, feeling a little dizzy. The branding rules consumed too much of his mental energy.

But fortunately, everything went well.

In the center of the alchemy table, a purple-red crystal that looked like solidified blood was emitting a strange light.
