12. Dockyard anecdote (3)
Senior Dylan and I carefully checked the drawing and assembly of these adamantite rune plates on the five-masted sailboat, if it was not an assembled magic pattern array, only looking at the drawing of the magic pattern circle on a single rune board, it can be said that these metal rune plates are still well drawn.
But this inscription master obviously ignored the most difficult problem to overcome on the assembled magic pattern array, that is, in the assembly process, the magic intersecting lines between the various rune plates are connected, more or less misplaced, which can be said to be the most important component of the assembled magic pattern array.
The inscriptionist apparently didn't take this detail seriously, and while the magical threads were barely connected, they weren't all connected smoothly on the whole, and it seemed that this was the main reason why the entire magic pattern circle on the entire five-masted galleon was not functioning properly.
I remember that when the Yerkes Scholar and I were making the Combined Demonic Pattern Constructed Shoulder Armor for Theresa's Rock Golem at the Junior War Magic Academy, we had repeatedly discussed this matter, and the Yerkes Scholar had since published several papers on the subject in the magical newspaper.
At that time, the Yerkis scholars did not have a little bit of fame in the imperial capital as they do now, and almost no one knew him.
However, when it comes to the combined magic pattern array, the Yerkis scholars still have some unique opinions on this.
"So you've been busy with this for the past few months. "I stood on the deck of the five-masted galleon, holding the side of the ship with both hands and looking out at the sparkling golden lake in the distance, and said to Senior Dylan.
"yes!" said Dylan casually as he stood beside me.
A female assistant tied a cape to Senior Dylan, who had lost a lot of weight lately, probably a little overworked.
Senior Dylan said to me: "After the publication of my paper, the project on the mobile magic teleportation array was announced, and the attitude of the astrologer union is also very positive, so the funds invested in the early stage are also sufficient, and the astrologer union has always been very generous to the technological innovation of this teleportation magic." ”
He stretched out his hand and patted the thick side of the ship, and said, "And these sea ships are just a preliminary idea, after all, these sea ships can sail in the vast sea area, according to the meaning of the big people above, it is best to move the mobile magic teleportation array to the magic airship." ”
"Oh, how dare they think of it!" I said, taking a deep breath and feeling a little surprised.
If you think about it, this proposal is still feasible.
I couldn't help but ask Senior Dylan: "At the beginning, they bought me thirty fishskin hoods in one go, did they make a special trip to thank me for this?"
Senior Dylan said, "This doesn't seem to be true, as far as I know, the vice president of our union who has divination skills has determined that your fishskin hood is worth that money." ”
......
When the Yerkes Scholar's magic caravan arrived at the dock, it was approaching dusk.
The setting sun peeked out of the gray clouds, sandwiched between the clouds and the top of Mount Majaro, like a flattened egg yolk after the shell had been shattered, and the light became a little dim, but it still stretched the shadows of the ten five-masted galleons on the pier of Weiyang Lake very long.
The boatmen hung the lanterns on the wooden frames, and the lanterns in the lighted places were lit one after another, and buckets of steaming broth and baked golden crispy wheat cakes were carried to the construction site, and the boatmen sat directly around the dock to eat, and at the request of Senior Dylan, they wanted to remove all the pure gold rune plates on a five-masted sailing ship before dawn.
The evening breeze of early spring carried a biting chill, and after the Yerkes scholar walked up with his assistant, Senior Dylan and I took him directly to inspect the adamantite rune plates on the spot.
The Yerkes scholar didn't say a word at first, he held the blueprint in his hand, and five shimmer flares were suspended behind him, carefully comparing the drawings on it.
He did not jump to conclusions, but inspected more than a dozen places in succession, and at each point his brow was furrowed, and he groped for the magic patterns on the pure gold rune board with his hands, and then, with the help of his assistant, he climbed the bow of the five-masted galleon with great difficulty.
After walking down like this, his body already looked a little unbearable, and a layer of sweat secreted from his forehead, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
Yerkis stood on the deck and adjusted his breath, then rubbed his shoulders and said, "I guess I haven't been active for too long, and my current physical strength can't even climb the boat, hey!"
I brought a barrel from the side of the ship and told the Yerkes scholars to sit down and rest.
Scholar Yerkes sighed softly and said with great regret: "I have looked at the ten parts of the Rune Plate Demon Pattern Circle area, and the situation is not very optimistic. ”
Senior Dylan asked the Yerkes Scholar, "Is there no remedy?"
The Yerkis scholar shook his head slightly, and then said: "The maker does not have any experience in drawing combined magic pattern arrays, so to speak, these magic pattern circles look very exquisite, and the magic pattern lines on a single rune board are very smooth, but after splicing, almost all the intersecting lines are out of shape, resulting in these pure gold rune plates that cannot be remedied at all." When you're making such a large combined magic pattern, you should have those inscription masters draw some small combined magic patterns so that they can familiarize themselves with it first. ”
"You mean that these Adamantite Rune Boards are worthless?" I asked.
"That's right, almost all the rune plates on this ship have to be replaced, and as for what to do with these rune plates, my advice is to reforge them. The Yerkes scholar said in an affirmative tone.
The Yerkes scholars sentenced the ships to death for the Adamantite Rune Plates, and Senior Dylan didn't say anything more.
The three of us disembarked and left the dock.
Sitting on the magic caravan, Senior Dylan said to me earnestly: "Even if Jijia is not involved in this bet, I would like to ask you to come and help me, His Majesty Charles has only left me a little more than a month in the deadline, except for you, I don't think anyone else can complete such a redrawing task." ”
"Jijia, help me, this matter is really important to me. Senior Dylan said.
I nodded.
Then he said to me, "I will find a way to get the Astrologer's Guild President to come forward and ask the President of the Royal Academy of Magic for a month's vacation." ”
I looked at each other with the Yerkes Scholar, who sighed and said, "I can stop all the magic pattern construction plans over there for the time being, but it's better to stick to the magic class."
"I'll go back to the Astrologer Guild tonight to make a rune board for the night, after all, I'm already familiar with a lot of things, and even if there are a few changes, I can handle it. I said to Senior Dylan, "Let's see how many chapters of Adamantine Rune Plate I can draw in one night." ”
Senior Dylan grabbed his unkempt hair and said, "That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it!"
While Scholar Yerkes and Senior Dylan were discussing the combined magic pattern on the magic caravan, I made a detour to the rune board workshop and handed over the two days' 'Gathering Fire' magic rune board and 'Miniature Tornado' magic rune board to Murray, so that the magic caravan drove back to the astrologers' union.
The Yerkes scholar is a purely theorist of magic, with little practical experience, but he can talk to Dylan with a wealth of theoretical knowledge.
......
I stayed up all night in the magic lab of Senior Dylan of the Astrologer Guild.
Probably because I am extremely familiar with these drawings, I almost didn't have to do any preparation before drawing, and directly compared the magic pattern circle on this drawing on the rune board and drew it quickly, Senior Dylan's magic test bench was very large, and I almost half-squatted on the rune board, drawing magic lines on it.
Truth be told, it's far easier to draw this Adamantite Rune Plate than it is to make a Magic Pattern Fabric.
When the sky was slightly white, I stopped the magic pen in my hand and asked the magic assistant who was holding the magic ink for me beside me, "How many Adamantite Rune Boards have I drawn?"
The magic assistant hurriedly ran to the side of the pile of magic runes drawn on the side, counted them carefully, and said to me in surprise, "Fifty-three!"
I nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that the drawing speed was quite fast, this kind of large magic rune board actually drew fifty-three sheets in one go, and I didn't expect to be able to draw so many of them.
So, I hastily calculated in my mind that at this speed, it would only take me more than twenty days to complete a complete set of tasks for the drawing of the mobile magic teleportation array.
Putting the magic pen back on the pen holder, he stretched his waist, and saw Senior Dylan holding a pile of magic parchment drawings, leaning on the sofa in the lounge area and sleeping soundly, just wearing a blanket on his body, so he asked the magician's assistant on the side: "Why don't you let him lie on the bed for a while." ”
Senior Dylan, there is a small bed in the corner of this magic lab, which is more comfortable than lying on the sofa anyway.
The magic assistant whispered helplessly: "Scholar Dylan has been sleepless all night in the past few days, and it is rare to fall asleep today, we dare not disturb him, if we carry him to the bed at this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have such a chance to sleep when he wakes up." ”
I said to my assistant, "Then let him sleep a little longer, and when he wakes up, you can tell him for me, I'll go to the Royal Academy of Magic first, and come back in the afternoon." ”
The magic assistant immediately nodded in agreement, and said, "I'll go and call a magic caravan for you." ”
After a short nap in the magic caravan, he meditated in the car with his tiredness until the magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic, and the empty magic pool was refilled with magic and his spirit became very full.
I pushed open the door and walked down, and the morning sun had already climbed to the top of Mount Majaro, letting the first rays of sunlight shine over the entire imperial capital.
There were already some magicians meditating on the meadow facing the rising sun.
The magic students in the Royal Academy of Magic are selected from the best magic apprentices in the junior magic academies around the world, these magic students are all young people who are known as magical geniuses in the local magic colleges, they not only have extremely high magical talents, but also are very diligent, many magic students have the habit of morning exercises.
I've made my way through the magicians, and it's been a long time since I've recently entered second year that I've tried to wake up so early.
After returning to the dormitory, I took a shower and changed into a set of magic robes, at this time I was completely sleepy, and seeing that it was still early for class, I opened the portal to Xinliu Valley in the bathroom and walked into Xinliu Valley.
Caterina has been on the Hiero plane for several days, and this time I'm going to bring her back from the Hiero plane.
She had gone to the Hierro Plane with the blueprints of the town of Trem, and I calculated the time, and she should have given the blueprints to Bernd three days ago.
When I got to the room in the hotel owned by Mr. Billy, I happened to see Caterina sitting quietly by the window of the hotel room looking out at the rain.
She smiled softly at me as she saw me step out of the portal. 2k reading web
