Rebecca was obviously very pleased with Gawain's praise, as she almost came up with her tail wagging and asked for a few more compliments (if she had a tail), while Gawain carefully observed this new style after finishing the compliment. As for the structure of the furnace, he has discovered that there are many things on it that he did not originally design. Some of these extra structures may be Hammel's modifications based on the blacksmith's experience, and the other part must be Rebecca's handiwork. .
Hammer doesn’t know how to make changes to runes and magic circles.
"What is this structure used for?" Gawain pointed to the pedals, connecting rods and iron plates connected together under the furnace. These structures looked very delicate. I am afraid that Hammel used a hammer to fix them little by little. After it was built, part of it fit together with the stone slabs on the ground, and the other part seemed to be related to the formation structure of the furnace, which gave Gawain some vague associations.
"Oh, ancestor, didn't you say that you would allow ordinary blacksmiths to control the opening and closing of the magic circle? I designed such a structure," Rebecca said proudly. Said, "Although the new furnace can be used continuously, it also needs the ability to shut down. So you see, this pedal can control the movement of the iron plate. There is a rune on the iron plate, and the obsidian plate of the furnace body is Another rune, this pair of runes has no effect if separated alone, but when combined, they will become part of the entire magic circle..."
Rebecca demonstrated to Gawain as she spoke. , she stepped on the pedal hard, and the iron plate connected to it flipped and fit into the groove under the furnace. Only then did Gawain see that the basic elemental runes were engraved on its back - which happened to be the furnace body. The missing part of the magic circle.
This is a switch, an extremely simple yet creative structure.
Before this thing appeared, magicians basically directly used their own magic power to control the operation of the magic circle.
But blacksmiths don’t know how to control magic, so they obviously need this thing.
After the iron plate was flipped up, the magic circuit of the entire furnace was connected. Gawain felt a slight airflow in the surrounding air, and then the surface of the stone slab on the ground emerged. There were some shimmering lines, and the magic arrays on the side of the furnace began to activate, and the runes on them lit up one by one. Firewood had already been put into the furnace. At this moment, with the activation of the magic array, the firewood began to burn directly. , and suddenly a blazing flame burst into flames, which was far more powerful and hotter than the fire burning wood under normal circumstances!
Rebecca has loosened her foot, but the iron plate has been fixed in the groove of the furnace body by the mechanism's teeth, although the accuracy of the entire structure is completely different from that of industrial products. Fabi, but since the crude rune only needs to be pushed up for it to take effect, it's clearly in perfect working order.
“Just step on it again and you’ll be back!” Rebecca proudly pointed to the teeth between the connecting rods. “I named this whole set of things ‘Rune Trigger’.It is a mechanism that uses runes as a conductor and can be triggered! Let me tell you, don’t think it’s easy to just take apart a few runes and reassemble them. I tested them for a long time before I determined that this pair of runes is the most stable and versatile combination..."
< p>Girl, you gave this thing a very classy name!Seeing Gawain’s dazed look, Rebecca finally stopped the constant baba caused by excessive excitement! , said with a little hope and nervousness: "Well... Ancestor, what do you think of this thing? By the way, except for the rune trigger, the other parts of the furnace were modified by Hammer. "
"Very good, very good, you two did a good job," Gawain said from the bottom of his heart. Then he noticed that the old blacksmith was not at the scene, so he asked curiously, "Han Where is Merle? "
Rebecca scratched her hair: "Because building a new furnace requires more black stone and red clay, he took a few apprentices and went to the mountains to find materials with the exploration team - the exploration team When I came back yesterday, I mentioned that I saw the Black Stone in the mountains. "
Gawain said oh, and then he suddenly remembered that he had something serious to do with Rebecca, so he slapped his head: "Ah, by the way, I have something to do with you - you should take a look at this first. , do you have any impression? ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of gray-black hardened object with an ugly appearance: this was the last piece of “waste” he had on hand, except for the sample given to Hetty.
Rebecca recognized it the moment she saw it: "Ah, isn't this the waste I burned before? "
"Look carefully here." Gawain saw that Rebecca herself had not noticed that the "waste" she burned was actually mixed with other things. "These are grains one by one. Have you seen the crystals? Do you still remember how you burned these things? ”
Rebecca then noticed the fine particles. To be honest, since the burned waste residues all looked the same, she couldn’t tell which furnace product it was by visual inspection, but Fortunately, she strictly followed the "operating rules" given by Gao Wen and carefully recorded the material ratio, time, temperature, and kiln number when she fired each sample. It was in the first few batches of samples, and then after restoring all the records of the day, it was easy to determine where these things came from.
I heard Rebecca took notes carefully, and. It was easy to restore the details of the operation at that time from the records. Gao Wen was really relieved: in the context of this era, the four words "detailed records" almost did not exist in the minds of ordinary people, only those who were obsessed with various Magicians who do magic research will have a rough concept in this area, but Rebecca is not a magician who can do research. Her fireball technique has always only had several levels: large, super large, super super large, and I don’t know how big it is. So This girl has never developed any habits for doing experiments...
But fortunately, she is very obedient, GawainShe was not sloppy at all when she gave orders.
While Gawain was studying how to introduce the "art of explosion" into this era as soon as possible, a certain half-elf thief who had nothing to do after eating and drinking was wandering in the dense jungle of the Dark Mountains among.
Of course, a more high-sounding statement would be to patrol the boundaries of the territory and search for potential dangers and wealth in the dark mountains... Anyway, it means almost the same thing, but anyone who knows her knows that this is just fishing.
Carrying two beloved little daggers and humming a tuneless song, Amber jumped between rocks and tree branches as if walking on the plains. With the help of the ubiquitous shadows in the mountains and forests, she From time to time, her figure would disappear in the air, and then suddenly appear dozens or even hundreds of meters away. Sometimes the figure would flicker, and a wild fruit picked from nowhere would appear on her little dagger, and then it would appear. It was chewed twice and thrown away.
This dim mountain forest is a tailor-made paradise for Amber, who is both an elf and a shadow master.
"Ha...what a nice place..."
Standing on the branches of a big tree, Amber stretched out comfortably and sighed leisurely.
Although she was intimidated by the prestigious name of the Dark Mountains when she first came here, and even had the idea of finding a chance to escape, but after staying here for a while, she found that this place is really different. The seven-hundred-year-old Zongzi said the same thing - it's not that scary at all.
Yes, hundreds of years have passed since the demonic tide. Those monsters are blocked in the Gondor Wasteland by the Great Wall and the Dark Mountain. The north side of the mountain is protected by layers of protection. How is it possible? What else is dangerous?
Those guys in the north really scared themselves, and they were scared out of their wits.
Amber unconsciously mocked those "Northerners" who dared not come here due to the evil reputation of the Dark Mountains, but completely forgot that he was one of these people not long ago.
She stayed on the branch for a while, and after getting enough of the cool breeze, she spread her hands and fell straight back from the tree.
Halfway down, she entered the shadow form. The power of the shadow enveloped her and instantly took her into a world that was parallel to the real world but that almost no one could enter. the world within.
The sound of wind in the woods and the chirping of insects and birds disappeared in an instant. Amber fell lightly to the ground, standing in a quiet and monotonous world.
The dense forest is gone. There are only clusters of strange rocks and rugged mountain roads. A few dead tree trunks lie across the mountains. Those ferocious branches are like sharp teeth pointing towards the gray shadow world. The heavy sky.
This black and white world is as unsettling as the legendary kingdom of the dead, but for Amber, this is a very reassuring place.
Standing here, you will feel like you are at home.
But Amber couldn’t come here often in the past.inside.
Despite her outstanding shadow talent, Amber had not been able to enter the shadow world anytime and anywhere before this. She could only roughly sense the "boundary" of this world, and could not sneak into it more easily than normal. It is easier for a person to reach this boundary, but it is very difficult to completely cross the boundary. It often requires either a longer period of meditation or the assistance of some magic items and potions.
But since leaving Cecil Territory, this process seems to have become much simpler.
As long as you concentrate, you can feel the existence of the border. As long as you mobilize the power of shadow, you can easily cross the border.
After a period of familiarity and adaptation, she can even jump into the shadow world as gracefully as she does now...
Although she is not a scholar who specializes in the power of shadow , is not a mage with an "extraordinary sense of smell", but Amber herself is not stupid. She vaguely guessed that the shadow world has become easier to enter not because of the rapid improvement of her shadow affinity ability (of course there must be some progress) La), but the world itself is probably changing, and there is some kind of force that has caused the wall between the shadow world and the real world to loosen.
But so far, its looseness should be extremely slight, and only a "freak" like myself can feel its changes.
If you regard the changes in the Shadow Realm as some great discovery and talk to those high-ranking mages and scholars, you will most likely be chased away by them as a madman, or worse: yourself. Their outstanding shadow talent and poor combat ability will be regarded as a kind of treasure from heaven. I am afraid that I will not even be able to walk out of those people's mage tower alive.
Amber was wandering in the Shadow Realm, enjoying the tranquility and safety of this world, with her little thoughts floating in her heart.
So what changes in the world have to do with you...
But maybe you can talk to the guy who raised the coffin?
That guy seems to be the type who is interested in these weird things, and he will definitely not press himself on the experimental table and cut it...
Amber Mind I was running around with all kinds of thoughts, and I laughed unconsciously.
(Oh my god, it’s on the shelves today - who of you thought I would update at this time?)
