My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 269 I am now so strong

"Roland. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, but someone else had told me, I would have dragged that storyteller out and given him a good beating."

"Since the start of the experiment, there haven't been any problems with any part related to rune inscription. The problems, on the contrary, have all come from the circuit creation that I was in charge of..."

Inside the laboratory, Russell looked at Roland and sighed, "The younger generation is truly formidable."

"Even if you don't learn alchemy or magical technology, you can make a fortune just by engraving runes for others, based on your skill and expertise in rune engraving."

"To go further, with your mastery of runes, you can make rune magic, which has now been relegated to a secondary support role, your primary means of combat."

“Modern mages can only use runes for setting up arrays, barriers, and creating items, which is a waste of the essence of this magic.”

"Before the Holy Empire was destroyed, there were powerful court mages who specialized in runic magic combat."

"Unfortunately, humans nowadays still prefer more convenient magic."

"But there's not much to say, it's just the progress of the times."

"The only drawback of rune magic is that... its entry threshold is indeed too high, and its potential for improvement is not particularly high."

"Being gradually phased out of the mainstream is inevitable..."

"Sorry, we're starting to chat about random things again. Please forgive me, this is just my personality."

"Let's continue the experiments. If we progress quickly, we should be able to experiment with new runes today, in addition to those for physical enhancement and magic amplification."

"It's the rune that you first mentioned, the one you were most interested in."

Roland put down the engraving knife he was using to inscribe runes and asked with some surprise, "Don't we need to keep trying? It's only been two hours."

Russell shook his head: "No need, you're a monster. You'll succeed no matter how you carve it."

"In that case, as long as your runes function properly in the experiment, we can skip the experimental phase."

"Alright, enough talk, let's move on to the next item."

Russell, having switched to his experimental personality, exudes reliability and decisiveness.

He grabbed Roland and started the next experiment.

"According to your plan, kid."

"You want to achieve two completely different things through the flow of magic power within your body, by accelerating, decelerating, stopping, and concentrating, right?"

“I’ve looked at your set of runes. Judging from the effects of the runes alone, it’s no problem to achieve the acceleration and deceleration you envisioned.”

"The concentration and stillness that were originally impossible to achieve can now be accomplished through runes that amplify magic power, thanks to your design."

"What do you call this feature again?"

As Russell muttered to himself, he began preparing a new circuit model for Roland's experiment.

Upon hearing Russell's question, Roland replied with a smile, "Dynamic Blood Armor and Static Blood Armor."

"Yes, that's it. Your imagination is truly extraordinary."

Russell laughed as he spoke: "Just looking at this set of runes, it really only has the effects of acceleration and deceleration."

"But when combined with runes that enhance the body and runes that amplify magic, this set of runes works in synergy."

"Accelerating the flow of magic is equivalent to an enhancement spell that overloads your body."

"This technique is common among warriors, achieving a short-term boost in strength by accelerating the flow of blood and magic within the body."

"However, because it can cause significant side effects, it is generally used as a last resort when one is desperate."

"You probably referenced this when you designed that blood-moving outfit, right?"

"Through circuits, spells, and inscribed runes, we can achieve a comprehensive improvement in physical fitness."

"Although the upper limit of the amplification is not high, the advantage is that the effect can be maintained for a long time, and as the magic power in your body increases, your amplification will also increase accordingly."

"You can even get another boost if you use the magic amplification rune, but that will only be a short-term enhancement."

"The Blood Stasis Armor is similar. By concentrating magic power, it activates the enhancement effects of runes to form a magical protective layer on the skin's surface, thereby increasing the body's defense."

"Aside from the fact that they cannot be used together, they have no drawbacks in terms of their individual effects."

"After all, the maximum output of this set of runes depends on how much magical power you input into them."

"In other words, as your strength increases, the effects of these runes will also increase."

“Once you are fully integrated with the magic circuit, it will be like a part of your body... You haven’t even advanced to the transcendent level yet.”

Russell sighed and, after relaying Roland's idea again, reminded Roland, who was about to take action: "Of course, your idea of ​​the effect is very good, but everything is based on the premise that this set of runes can work together with the previous two sets of runes."

"Therefore, for this attempt, you need to inscribe the first two sets of runes before proceeding with the subsequent inscriptions."

Roland nodded: "I know, teacher. Don't worry, I'm very steady."

five minutes later.

When Roland finished engraving and began to infuse magic into it to make the runes work, he turned and smiled at Russell, who froze on the spot.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately gave up the idea.

He simply gave Roland a thumbs-up.

For some reason, Russell had a premonition that he might be able to complete most of the rune inscription experiments today. After all, only two and a half hours had passed from Roland to the lab and the successful completion of the three sets of rune experiments.

Even during those two and a half hours, she made many pointless attempts and experiments because she was worried about Roland's rune inscriptions.

After witnessing Elder Luo's supernatural powers, Master La had already surrendered.

I don't really have much in common with such prodigies with exaggerated talents.

She originally thought she was already exceptionally talented.

At least she did break through the human lifespan limit through her talent and learning.

Although the soul has inevitably shown signs of decay.

But we have not yet reached the point of returning to the land of the dead.

Strictly speaking, she can only be considered to be in menopause now.

It will be several hundred years before the soul completely ages and decays.

But compared to Roland's performance, Russell felt that the so-called geniuses he had seen over the past few centuries were still too conservative.

Those people are simply smarter and progress faster in cultivation.

But Roland... she had never seen such a terrifyingly talented genius in runic literature.

He not only dares to think, but also dares to use, and he succeeds!

Runecraft is almost the foundation of alchemy and magical technology, the two major human technology trees.

Whether it's alchemy and magical technology, runes are indispensable.

Given Roland's terrifying talent in runes, it's safe to say that he would learn these two subjects at a very fast pace!

This guy isn't even an adult yet!
After taking a few deep breaths, Russell looked at Roland and said calmly, "Time is of the essence, let's begin the next experiment."

"But let me give you a friendly reminder: the first three sets of runes were a clever trick of yours, combining three simple runes with ingenious ideas. But your next two needs are not so simple."

"Leaving aside the rune related to the time realm, whether it will succeed is still an open question."

"The rune you originally planned to add involves elements. Although I can tell you won't have any problems with rune inscription."

"But do you remember what I said before? Magic circuits themselves have a limit to their capacity."

"Just in case... let's change the location. Let's go to the open space by the back gate."

After Russell finished speaking, he took a bunch of tools and headed towards the back door of the laboratory.

Roland followed along, carrying a carving knife and a circuit model.

Because the model wasn't destroyed in the last experiment, Roland plans to conduct the experiment directly on the original model this time.

If it works, then save the model.

After all, Roland's ideas about time magic were just that—ideas.

If the initial attempt fails, then proceed with the original plan.

In that case, this model is still very valuable for reference.

Even if it succeeds, we can continue to experiment on this model, which will save on material costs.

Stepping out of the lab's back door and back into Roland's snow-covered landscape, I looked up at the sunlight and snowflakes falling from the sky and asked, "Are we just going to do experiments like this in the snow?"

"Don't rush, wait for me a moment."

After Russell gave her a speech, she began to make arrangements. After making some marks on the laboratory wall, layers of protective equipment rose from the ground, protecting the laboratory and the experimental materials she had brought.

The next moment, a snow shelter extended from the roof of the laboratory, covering the already cramped open space behind it.

Russell then took out a wooden table and placed it in front of Roland, then extended his hand: "Please begin your performance."

"...Teacher, have you switched back to your original personality?" Roland asked, looking at Russell, who suddenly seemed familiar to him.

"Hmm, the first personality is a bit discouraged, and it's time for a brainstorming session! Of course, it's time for this master to step in! Hahahaha!!!"

Seeing Russell standing there with his hands on his hips, laughing loudly, the respect Roland had built up for his teacher over the past two hours vanished in an instant.

After sighing, Roland began the inscription.

Seeing that a third of the area on the circuit had already been occupied, Roland became a little more serious.

Although it will be successful as long as it is engraved.

However, we still need to use the space sparingly.

Although the area required for the wind elemental magic rune that I'm going to inscribe later isn't very large.

However, considering that he might have to carve a very complex time rune later, Roland decided to carve it smaller.

"Come on! I choose you! Wind King Barrier!"

While shouting meaningless lines, Roland began his work.
