Chapter 158 New Formation and Letter
Chapter 158 New Formation and Letter
Enchanting workshop, a workshop.
Ivan stood next to a pile of materials, and as he operated, various raw material powders, including magic stone powder, mixed with the soil and stirred by themselves, as if an invisible hand was kneading them.
He moved his fingers, and a string of water droplets appeared out of thin air and fell into the stirring mixture, making the powder and soil mix more evenly, and finally turning into a soft round pile of mud.
A circle of flames wrapped around the mud pile, baking it for a few seconds before going out.
'Turn mud into rock'
After the spell, the soft mud pile turned into a hard stone platform with a diameter of about three meters.
Ivan took out the ink mixed with the talisman pen and magic stone powder, and carved lines directly on the stone platform. Smooth lines were formed under his pen. After the overall framework was completed, he changed the ink to wind element ink and continued to carve.
Soon, a vivid rune array took shape.
Several bottles of magic stone water floated to the stone platform and fell onto the rune array in an orderly manner.
He came to the middle of the stone platform, sat on the ground, activated the rune array, and the magic stone water quickly turned into ink-colored energy, which then dispersed and turned into a ball of black smoke.
The black smoke floated for a while, sometimes changing shape, sometimes thick or thin, sometimes rotating, sometimes fast or slow.
“The key factor has not yet been found.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew out from the stone platform, blowing the black smoke into pieces.
He glanced at the stone array plate placed on the side not far away. It was emitting a soft and bright light. When problems occurred in the rune array, the light on the stone array plate slowly dissipated.
He was already accustomed to the induction produced by the original stone array, and there was no change this time.
The original stone array plate is secondary, and the focus is on the rune array carved by oneself.
"It's not a big problem to transform magic stone water into spiritual energy, but it's not a simple matter to transform spiritual energy into black wind."
"How did the black wind that day come into being? Unfortunately, it was destroyed by Heidi's attack, and there is not even a trace of wreckage left."
Ivan felt a little regretful. That day at the Kanda Magic Stone Mine, he didn't take a closer look at the Black Wind Cage Formation set up by the black-robed monster. Now he couldn't see it even if he wanted to.
The reason I say this is that I encountered difficulties in exploring the current rune array.
According to his original idea, he simply used the rune array to transform more spiritual energy, and then find a way to transform this part of spiritual energy into his own spiritual power for promotion.
When being promoted to a formal wizard, even one or half a degree more of spiritual power is enough to play an important role.
After careful research, he found that this idea was not feasible. No matter how he transformed or tempered it, the transformed spiritual energy was always different from his spiritual power. This difference was so great that it could not be ignored.
There is only one result of forcing the mixture in, which is that the spiritual power will become impure, and it will most likely be impossible to completely eliminate it later.
Therefore, this plan can only serve as a backup option as a last resort.
For this alternative, he had recently consumed a Level 5 Light of Wisdom, and the result was that the converted spiritual energy had a higher purity.
Then he began exploring new options.
The new plan has new ideas. His new idea is to use the confining power generated by the rune array.
Back then at the Kanda Magic Stone Mine, the black-robed monster raised a black wind and swept them in. Under the confinement of the black wind, he had a feeling similar to that of breaking through the third-level checkpoint, and could not sense the existence of his body.
This restraining force is undoubtedly quite powerful.
To put it simply, a wizard's promotion is to break through the constraints and restrictions on the spiritual level and use the power of restriction to fight the power of restriction. There should be nothing wrong with his idea.
The problem lies in recreating the black wind transformed by the black-robed monster's rune formation.
After a few hours, the materials in the studio were exhausted and he had no choice but to end his exploration.
When he passed by the next door, he found that the door was closed and he didn't know whether Came and her brother had come.
There is one advantage of studying runes in an enchanting workshop. The workshops will not affect each other. Once the door is closed, the inside and outside are two different worlds. When the rune array gets out of control, it can be easily suppressed.
A week later, Ivan used a Level 4 Great Wisdom Light. In the past, his comprehension and spirituality, which had been increased tenfold, made him invincible. He could always find the key to solving the problem from the complicated clues, and this time was no exception.
"I see."
"There is no wind elemental power involved at all, only pure mental energy manipulation. The black-robed monster is indeed a creature born in the magic stone mine. Its understanding of magic stone energy is unmatched by ordinary people."
Eight minutes later, he came back to his senses with a sense of loss.
Afterwards, he picked up the rune pen and began to carve a new rune array with ink. Each line was completed in one go, and he even drew multiple lines without pausing for a moment. After a while, a new rune array appeared on the stone platform.
Place the magic stone water on it, activate it, and transform it into spiritual energy, which then transforms into black wind.
The breeze was gentle, but it seemed particularly different. As the person who manipulated the rune array, he could still feel a kind of spiritual oppression, which made people feel instinctively uncomfortable.
"It's done. It's this kind of confinement."
"The conversion efficiency is relatively low, and it is difficult to operate. It takes time to slowly adjust."
Ivan nodded slightly. The light of great wisdom did not disappoint him. As long as the key factor was found, other problems would not be a problem.
He also found that the completion rate of the line text increased from 97% to 98%, and the experience points of enchantment and runes increased a lot, especially enchantment.
In the evening, he walked out of the workshop in a happy mood and found that the door next door was still closed.
Ivan took a few steps outside when he heard an unusual sound behind him.
He couldn't help but look back. Cam was coughing non-stop and thick black smoke was coming out of the door next to him.
"Ahem, Ivan, wait for me." Came greeted him immediately after she found him.
"What's going on here?"
"Don't mention it, my sister is just showing off—"
Came was stuck as he spoke, and Heidi came out with a sullen face, staring at him vaguely, her silence speaking louder than words.
"Heidi, Ivan and I are leaving first." Cam walked away quickly and winked at Ivan when he approached, indicating that he should leave quickly as well.
In the past month, the two of them did not come to the enchanting workshop every day, and they had not met for some time.
Came talked non-stop all the way. He was always well-informed and knew most of the important things that happened between the apprentices, such as which apprentice cast a powerful spell, and which apprentice died in a mission.
"How's the progress of your research on the original stone array?" When he arrived outside the enchanting workshop, he couldn't help but ask with curiosity.
"It's okay, I have an idea." Ivan said.
"Will it be successful soon?" Came guessed.
"How did you know that?" Ivan looked at him in surprise and did not refute. "It needs to be improved."
"That's amazing." Came heard the implication of his words and couldn't help but smack his lips. In fact, he and his sister were also studying the same subject, and their mother gave them guidance from time to time, but their progress was still far from success.
The two parted at the door, leaving Came there waiting for her mother and sister.
"Heidi, Ivan is about to succeed in his research." Ivan didn't ask him to keep it a secret. Came was not someone who could keep secrets. When he saw the two of them, he said directly, "Ivan is still Ivan. He is better than you and me put together."
Heard his words, Heidi frowned slightly.
"Cam, the success or failure of a plan needs to be verified by professionals, not just by yourself. Many people think that their research is rare in the world, but they are limited by their own vision. In fact, it is nothing." Madeline corrected.
"Mom, Ivan is not that kind of person," Came argued.
"Mom, if it's Ivan who said it himself, it can't be false. He is one of the most knowledgeable people in enchantment that I have ever met. We have an agreement with him that if he wants to trade, he can come to us." Heidi also agreed.
"Oh, then I'll wait and see." Madeline believed it. Her daughter's words were always reliable.
"What? Mom, you're such a fool. You don't believe what I say, but you believe what Heidi says." Camille muttered and complained. He was actually happy that his mother was willing to believe Ivan.
The next day, Ivan did not go to the enchanting workshop. That day, many swift wood silkworms broke out of their cocoons.
The silk cocoon hanging in the corner of the cabinet shook violently, and the silk became loose. After a while, no swift wood silkworm crawled out.
"Failed?"
Ivan probed with his mental power and found that the swift wood silkworm inside the cocoon had lost its life.
This is not the first swift wood silkworm to die.
In fact, among the third batch of silkworms that were spinning silk and making cocoons, there began to be deaths, with fifteen of them dying, accounting for a quarter of the total number.
This is the fourth batch, which is also the largest batch, with more than a hundred fish. The mortality rate is more than one-third, and the death toll in the remaining last batch is estimated to reach half.
Evolution has always been a cruel process.
"Mumble."
The queen silkworm saw that he was in a bad mood because of this, so she chirped to attract his attention, and then moved her body to split into a clearly different young silkworm.
This is a plump young silkworm, and it looks like the queen silkworm when I first saw it.
"Is it the same as you?"
"Mumble."
Sure enough, this is a mother silkworm similar to the Queen Silkworm, which can continuously divide and produce new silkworms. The Queen Silkworm has consumed a lot of energy in nurturing this little guy, and even her chirping has become weak and powerless.
"I understand. After death comes rebirth. I won't worry about it. Just have a good rest." Ivan knew what the Queen Silkworm wanted to express. Seeing that it looked very tired, he hurriedly took out a lot of food to replenish the Queen Silkworm's strength.
Time is too thin and slips quietly through our fingers.
Ivan had lived an orderly life for more than half a month, but a sudden letter broke his peaceful mood.
There was a hurried knock on the door. When he opened the door, there was no one outside. There was only a thick letter slowly falling from the air and about to fall to the ground.
He waved his hand and the letter floated in front of him.
'My disciple Ivan'
The familiar words and handwriting on the cover of the letter made Ivan's pupils shrink.
This is the letter from Toynes.
Another chapter will be posted tonight.
