Main Text Volume Chapter 231 Prelude to Destruction
It is extremely difficult to completely copy such fine and tight lines. For a normal-sized "Prelude to Extinction", it can only be engraved on small and medium-sized alchemical items.
If you want to engrave on a small alchemical item like the "Golden Arrow", you need to reduce the magic array in proportion. The normal-sized "Prelude to Extinction" is already a dark mass, and if you reduce it further, it will be even darker. The naked eye can no longer distinguish it, and even if you use a pen tip as thin as a hair to draw it, it may be too rough.
However, proportional reduction is a very late thing. Before that, he must at least successfully engrave the lines of "Prelude to Extinction".
Angel did not start engraving immediately, but took out "Enchanting Encyclopedia - Advanced Edition" and continued to flip through it.
The pattern of "Prelude to Extinction" is very complex, but its function is very simple: once this magic array is activated, it can release a very low sound frequency, causing the already chaotic energy inside the undead to be unbalanced, achieving the purpose of destroying the undead.
According to Angell's understanding, this is an infrasound attack. Sound waves with a frequency lower than 2ohz are infrasound waves, which are extremely long wavelengths and are not easy to disappear in ordinary media.
Angell guessed that the extremely low sound frequency released by "Prelude to Extinction" must have resonated with some kind of energy inside the undead, causing energy imbalance, thus causing the undead to collapse.
Of course, this is Angell's speculation. He doesn't have a sound wave spectrum tester, so he can only use logic to analyze it.
After reading the chapter of "Prelude to Extinction", Angell did not stop there and continued to turn the pages. He wanted to see if there were any other enchantments to eliminate the undead besides "Prelude to Extinction", and it would be best if the pattern was simpler than "Prelude to Extinction".
It took Angell most of the day to scan the "Enchantment Encyclopedia - Advanced Edition". There were nearly 10,000 enchantment patterns of magic arrays. After reading them, Angell felt dizzy and his eyes were all dark.
Almost all the patterns are about the same difficulty as "Prelude to Extinction". Only when you look closely can you see the difference in the patterns. From a distance, they are all pitch black. In "Advanced", Angel also found 13 kinds of magic array enchantments to deal with the undead. Some of these magic arrays are not specifically for the undead.
For example, a magic array called "Mass of Splendor" was originally used to purify the filth and drive away darkness, but it can also be used to purify the filth inside the undead and sublimate their souls.
"Mass of Splendor" has outstanding effects and a wide range of applications. Correspondingly, the number of magic patterns that make up it is also amazing, as many as 36, and each magic pattern is extremely complicated. Moreover, the book records that "Mass of Splendor" is basically engraved on large alchemical items, and the materials that can match "Mass of Splendor" are also priceless. Once successfully made, it can be used as a strategic prop.
With Angel's current ability, let alone whether he can draw it, the cost of the materials alone is not something he can afford. It is estimated to be equivalent to the income of a small wizard organization for a hundred years. But even if you gather them together, you may not be able to buy them. Some of the materials are close to extinction in the wizard world and the pan-wizard world. In the end, even if you buy them, there is no way for Angel to smelt these materials. When he reaches the level of a formal wizard, maybe he can try.
To sum it up, there are two words: no hope!
Most of the other magic arrays that destroy the undead are like "Mass Splendor", either no hope or more complicated than "Prologue to Extinction".
So, in the end, Angel can only go back to "Prologue to Extinction".
Before that, Angel hesitated for a moment and clicked on the next folder - "Enchantment Encyclopedia - Perfect Edition".
This folder was only opened by him when he was organizing documents and pictures, and then he never touched it again. Angel has never seen the contents inside.
After opening the folder, densely packed pictures appeared in front of him.
Angel took a quick look and saw about 2,000 pictures. If a magic array occupies two pictures, one is a pattern and the other is an interpretation, then this folder records about 1,000 magic arrays.
Compared with the previous introductory chapters, basic chapters, and advanced chapters, the perfect chapter obviously records much less.
But how difficult is it... Angel opened a picture.
He just glanced at it and closed his eyes in fear.
What did he see? —— Dense patterns.
Angel was used to simple patterns before, but the reason why this pattern scared him to close his eyes was purely because... it was not simple!
Is this really a magic array? Not a solid geometry? !
This magic array does not look difficult. There are only 16 magic patterns, and the arrangement is not too dense. You can see the blank part with the naked eye. But... these 16 magic patterns are not all on the same plane. Several magic patterns actually have three-dimensional intersections, three-dimensional overlaps, and mirror-image staggered layers.
It is true that alchemical props are three-dimensional, but how to depict the magic array in three dimensions? !
"Haha, see you again if we are destined to." Angel silently pressed the "x" in the upper right corner. He would not open this folder again, at least... he would not open it before he became an advanced wizard.
Ingres returned to the pattern of "Prologue to Extinction" again.
After some trouble, when he looked at the pattern of "Prologue to Extinction" again, he felt it was particularly easy and simple. Such a simple and unpretentious pattern, one less to practice, he must learn to be grateful and cherish it.
Although the pressure in my heart was much less when facing the lines of "Prologue to Extinction" because I had seen so many sails, how to practice it was still a problem that needed to be solved urgently.
Angel quickly thought of the solution.
The lines of normal proportions are too dense and black, so let's enlarge them proportionally!
Angel adjusted the projection data and easily enlarged the "Prologue to Extinction" by 10 times, which is absolutely impossible for other alchemists. Although proportional enlargement and proportional reduction are indeed the basis of enchantment alchemy. However, others will spend a lot of time and energy to try proportional enlargement and reduction after they have mastered the patterns of normal proportions.
Angel enlarged it directly and could quickly find the proportion that suits him best. In this way, his growth in enchantment alchemy is naturally far greater than others.
After enlarging the "Prologue to Extinction" by 10 times, obvious white space can be seen between the lines. At the same time, the complicated true face of "Prologue to Extinction" is also revealed.
Looking at the full pattern, Angel sighed: "This workload is too big. It will probably take one or two days to copy it completely. No matter what, let's try to copy it once."
This is the first time to copy the magic array. Angel has only one goal:
See if the bearing axis between the two magic patterns can be smoothly transitioned.
The magic array enchantment involves some mysterious operating rules. For other alchemists, simple memory is not enough. They need to understand the meaning between the magic patterns. But Angel is copying, so it stands to reason that there should be no blurred memory, but he needs to experiment to be sure.
The first time to copy, the goal was not achieved. When drawing the 69th stroke, the sweat on the tip of the nose fell on the pen, trembling slightly, causing the pattern to be skewed.
The second time to copy, the goal was still not achieved, and it failed at the 419th stroke.
The third time to copy, failed.
The fourth time to copy... the fifth time... the sixth and seventh times...
Until the eighth time, Angel finally successfully copied a magic pattern. The next critical moment is whether he can smoothly connect the axis and smoothly transition to the second magic pattern?
One hook, one stroke, one turn, and then draw a circle. When it reaches two-thirds, trace back counterclockwise...
After half an hour of connecting and connecting the axis, the pen tip finally successfully entered the second magic pattern after a diagonal pull!
At this point, Angel's heart was filled with joy. His emotions got out of control, and the lines under his pen took a short nap, marking the end of this copying.
Although he failed to copy again, Angel was still very happy. At least he could confirm that he should be able to draw the magic array completely by cheating.
But the problem came again.
Even if he could completely copy the magic array, it was only limited to the blank paper.
When it comes to formal alchemy, the depiction of the magic array requires a stable and continuous output of magic power. It takes two days to copy it once. Not to mention whether his energy can keep him going for so long, his magic power consumption alone is a problem?
Even if he copied "Prologue of Extinction" to a very proficient level, it would still take about a day to carve.
Angell calculated that if he just output magic power steadily to enchant, he should be able to last half a day.
Where can he find the remaining magic power for half a day? In addition, when carving, he must ensure that the heat fusion method and the magic hand are uninterrupted, which are also big consumers of magic power.
So... he can't continue before solving the magic problem.
...
After disappearing for a week, Angell came to Prome Alchemy Shop again.
When he came, it was the most leisurely time of the day. David was quietly wiping a rough-shaped machete on the counter with some kind of green juice.
The machete is completely different from the style of the wizard world. Its name:
-Chinese kitchen knife.
Angell gave most of his alchemical works to David for sale. This kitchen knife is his second alchemical work, which was made to test one-piece molding.
Except for being sharper, it has almost no advantages.
After David had completely covered the kitchen knife with the green juice, he noticed that there was a person in front of him.
"Angel?"
David put the kitchen knife aside and said, "You are finally here. Master Prometheus has been waiting for you in the store these days and didn't go back until last night."
Hearing that Prometheus had been waiting for him for a week, Angel felt a little guilty. He had been obsessed with cultivation these days and had never thought that Prometheus would wait for him in the alchemy shop...
"Too much misleading information, cough cough, I searched for a long time before I found some clues." Angel tilted his head, covered his mouth with his fist and pretended to cough twice, and said vaguely.
