Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 248 Preparations Completed
When the light of dawn shone on Lori's face again, he finally completed the preliminary preparations for the composite magic circle.

Instead of the usual hexagram or pentagram, Lowry chose the most complex circular magic circle.

After all, the reason why those two magic arrays are more commonly used is because they can quickly absorb the magical energy from the outside world.

But in fact, evil or light energy is the easiest to absorb.

In the fantasy world, the original magic circles are actually very simple, and are all expanded from the spell model: it is just a circle, and then runes are added outside the circle.

If more functions are needed, add another layer of circle on the outside.

Most of those ancient magical relics covered a large area, expanding outward in circles, with many splash marks in between.

However, as the control over spell runes increased, the energy consumed became greater and greater... The mages could no longer withstand such terrible consumption.

At the beginning, no one actually cared about the consumption, until the mages found themselves getting poorer and poorer.

The magicians are now struggling financially and in poverty, all because of the sins committed by their ancestors in ancient times.

This is true in every world.

All mages who play with magic circles can only turn to the arms of the star array in the end, hoping that the stars above their heads and the concentration of spells from the outside world can slow down the consumption of the gems inlaid in the magic circle.

Those who are still using circular magic circles mainly use sacred magic circles, especially believers of particularly ancient gods.

There is no way. Their main god is powerful and prefers the taste that is consistent with the laws.

More importantly, these ancient gods have little hope for faith, and whether or not they return believers depends on whether they are willing.

Therefore, their believers can only grit their teeth and spend more money.

As for the gods that needed to be believed in, they basically followed the trend and changed their own magic arrays into star arrays.

The circular formation gradually disappeared in most of the world.

Lowry picked this thing up again, not because he had too much money to burn.

But he has already burned out.

After all, the ancient wizards just added a few gems between the rune lines!

This rune line is made directly from gems.

Take the double ring as an example. Even the simplest one requires nine lines in the middle.

The larger the number of circles, the more lines are used, but if the array is standard and stable enough, it is normal to add three lines.

The circular magic circle is not only closely related to the laws, but also linked to the strength of the magician.

Lowry is a five-ring mage, so the best he can do is to complete the five rings...that's 54 gem lines.

Of course, there is one more thing that is indispensable, and that is the magic hub that controls the flow of spell energy between the rings.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the fast-flowing spell energy of specific attributes stay at a certain point, and transfer to another fork line at a slower speed according to the guidance of the spell rune.

Therefore, the materials used to make the magic hub must be able to store enough spell energy.

In the past, mages basically used relatively large astral meteorites or aurora colored steel with very strong recovery ability to solve this problem.

But Lowry can't use it.

It’s not that he doesn’t have these two things, although the quantity is not much, at least not as much as mithril.

But this thing is too valuable... Even a wealthy and powerful 16th-level wizard like Arsalan may not have it in his hands, and if he did, it wouldn't be very big. Only those who can have one as big as their little finger are rich.

How could Lowry dare to use it!

Moreover, he was actually a little reluctant.

After all, these things will basically be judged as special weapon materials.

There are a lot of main quests, and there are also many side quests related to the knight's level.

But there are not many knights and manors.

It may be assumed that such top-grade materials can only be used by the manor owner himself, and no matter how powerful his knights are, they are not qualified.

After discovering this reality, Lowry could only feel sad in secret.

Of course, he knew what method could be used to change the current embarrassing situation and get those good things that he longed for... that is, to revive the spirit of the original artifact.

Only that guy can find the treasure that is either locked in some invisible space or in the dimensional node connected to this incomplete demiplane.

However, even without Ruth Kania's reminder, Lowry would not be so stupid.

His dimension, of course he is the only master.

No matter how many benefits there are, Lowry will not allow himself to become a vassal of any other existence.

Lowry, in recent times, has been using those blocked good things to strengthen his will.

In fact, he didn't care much about those exaggerated artifacts from the beginning.

It was these top-grade materials that really broke his defense.

What alchemist wizard would remain unmoved when seeing adamantium, mithril, and interstellar drifting iron that are bigger than a table?

Unless you can rub it out yourself.

Even though he had strengthened his willpower, Lowry couldn't help but sigh when he thought of those materials.

But, if compared with those great wizards in the real world...if Lori wants to take wizards of the same level seriously, I guess others will just tell him to get lost...Lowry is still quite rich.

For example, the Kalomogin he was going to use in the cold pond.

This material is a good thing that can stimulate water energy to the extreme and can even create water out of thin air.

The reason why he dared to use it publicly was because he dug up the underground cold spring. To some extent, the great wizards could still understand it, after all, they had a lot of it.

What's more, he has countless thousand-year-old ice in his hands!

Among the thousands of years of ice, there is also a most special kind of deep blue opaque ice crystal that can sparkle like gems and can also be hammered into shape.

This gem has a very beautiful name, Qingxuanbing.

Although the number is rare...it is an exaggeration to find one on a ten thousand year old iceberg...but at least there are some.

It’s just a bit troublesome to dig, and if you’re not careful, the entire iceberg might collapse.

Lowry also got into a lot of trouble at the beginning, running around in the cold wave and fleeing in panic.

But later he became a skilled worker.

The combination of Qingxuan Ice and Carlo Mokin is enough for Lowry to set up an elemental pool in the cold pond that can obtain enough ice energy without any external force.

Although it is a little different from the one in the Magic Tower, its functions are actually similar.

Lowry is not sure about the ice crystal fish, but the ice fish is guaranteed to have the most comfortable living environment.

Of course, the most important thing is energy.

So after much consideration, Lori decided to turn the cold pond into the inner ring in the middle of the magic circle.

Then use the eternal ice as a wall to completely seal the original shallow underground water system.

Although doing so would completely separate the inner and outer water systems, Lori had already set up teleportation and monitoring arrays within that water system, so there was no need to worry too much about it.

The domestic water in his castle was brought up through underground pipes, which was completely different from the external water system.

He would be crazy to allow the water coming into his castle to be connected to the ground water outside.

Otherwise, why would he always feel that Ruth Kania couldn't succeed!

There is clearly an underground water system two hundred meters deep under his castle!

Crescent Lake was only a few hundred meters away from his castle.

So, when Ruth Kania said that her and the White Dragon King's luck had returned, Lori did not deny it at all... of course, in his heart.

He was lucky, but his wishes never came true, even after eating the lucky pearl.

Lori looked at the 16 cabinet servers in front of him, the 54 long lines of attribute gems coiled together, and the colorful thick line, and sighed softly.

Even though this thing took up two days of his time, but... the subsequent work was more troublesome.

The most important thing is that these tasks can only be completed by him personally.

The most troublesome thing about the circular magic circle is that whoever is in charge has to do the work.

It doesn't have to be the case that he is the only one who can control it. In the end, he can give management authority on the central device.

But except for using certain fixed functions, these managers cannot touch any other areas.

Absolutely safe, but also tiring.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the ancient legend of a wizard taking several years to complete a huge spell array and successfully communicating directly with something.

Xingzhen is also very considerate in this regard, and there is no problem with any number of people cooperating.

Of course, it is also easier to be exposed.

Therefore, most mages let their apprentices do those monotonous but troublesome chores.

Even if they knew the area where they had created the magic circle, the apprentices did not have the ability to find the place after the circle was put into operation...even if they had a photographic memory, it would be useless.

If you don't have enough mental strength and try too hard to think about some rune marks, it's normal for your head to explode.

Lowry never thought that after becoming a magician, he would have to do such painful and strenuous work.

Fortunately, the muscles he had built up in the past were still there, and he was still strong enough.

To put it bluntly, if he follows the rules of the game, he is a standard knight squire who has been transformed into a mage, and his strength is at least ten points higher than that of a mage of the same level.

The reason why no one ever doubted his future career was largely due to his outrageous performance.

So, for wizard seedlings, you want them to have naturally full intelligence and spirit, while also increasing their agility, strength and physique to the limits of mortals... How is that possible?

Now Lowry can more or less guess the reason.

Even if his bloodline had not fully awakened, since Ruth Kania could smell it, it must have been partially revealed.

What else is there to say about the dragon's physique?

His current strength and physique are probably increasing as he gets older.

Well, his agility might have increased, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, he wouldn't even use his feet to walk a few hundred meters outside the house now.

Who would walk if they can fly?

This is not a question of whether or not.

Lori stood up, put the things in front of him into the demiplane, walked to the study window and looked out.

The sun was shining, the weather was neither cold nor hot, and the breeze passing by him brought a hint of coolness... just right for starting work.

　Aurora Color Steel: A special material that shines with steel that flashes in changing pink and indigo colors. The fragments will be quickly and seamlessly joined together, and the object will return to its previous state.

　　Kalomogin is a metal deposit that can be seen with the naked eye. It is translucent and glows when exposed to light. It is often found in conjunction with underground water veins. Weapons made of it are translucent light gray, and condensation forms continuously on the surface of the weapon; it is considered a magic weapon for the purpose of determining whether it can penetrate the damage reduction of fire subtypes (such as red dragons), even without any magical enhancements.
