Chapter 54 The Legacy of the Wild Mage

After seeing the dilapidated notebook, Hetty finally realized the source of all this: "These are... that wild mage left behind?"

"That's right, a low-level mage who is rejected by the mainstream mage group and can only hang around in the second-level all his life. His talent is far beyond everyone's imagination, but this era has no room for him to play," Gawain sighed as he watched The notebook in hand, "I have read some of the research notes in it these days. In my opinion, this notebook is worth at least half a duchy."

Heidi was stunned: "Huh?!"

However, what Gawain said is no exaggeration. In fact, from the perspective of technological development, the legacy left by the unknown wild mage will even show higher and higher value over time, although he All of the researches of the author are in a very shallow initial stage, but Gawain is quite clear-for many epoch-making concepts and ideas, the "initial stage" is the most valuable stage.

Gawain put the notebook on the table and looked up at Hetty: "His daughter, the child named Annie has most likely the elemental assimilation of the shadow system, which can be said to be the rarest of many magical diseases. Kind, as a mage, you should be no stranger to this disease."

"Assimilation of elements... This is a disease unique to the Violet Kingdom. The incidence is very low, but there is no cure," Heidi nodded slightly, "I guessed it when I saw those diaries."

In this world with magical powers, there are many things that are completely different from Gawain's home world, some of which are good, and some are naturally bad - elemental assimilation is one of the worst things.

This kind of disease caused by magic erosion is more common in areas with strong magic power and active elements. During the Gondor Empire, it occurred mostly in the deep blue well of the imperial capital, and even in the heyday of the empire, it was almost incurable disease. One of them; in today's era, it is a "special product" of the Violet Kingdom in the north of the mainland.

If the extraordinary power has brought gifts belonging to nature to the human beings in this world, then the elemental assimilation that accompanies it is like the maliciousness mixed in this gift.

Elemental assimilation only occurs in newborns. It is a mutation caused by the radiation of magic energy when the fetus develops in the mother's body. Children with this disease can grow up normally at first, but as they age, they gradually develop. Shows signs of erosion and assimilation by specific elements. The patient's flesh and blood are transformed in the process and gradually begin to become semi-elementalized, and as normal biological tissues are elementalized little by little, they will also be rejected from the main material world - except for a very few who have Except for the races with special talents, no elemental creature can exist in the main material world for a long time. This is the natural law of this world.

This process accelerates as the disease deepens and is irreversible. When more than half of a person's biological tissues are elementalized, he will be "exiled" by the material world and pushed to the elemental plane corresponding to his elemental assimilation. go.

Then die in the gap between the material world and the elemental world - the biological tissue left by the patient will make this process extremely terrifying, like tearing.

That's what the nameless wild mage's daughter, Annie, should have gotten, and it's a shadow-prone elemental assimilation: the rarest of all elemental assimilations.

Mages and scholars have studied various elemental realms for many years, but only for the mysterious shadow realm, the research is difficult.

"There is no cure for elemental assimilation, it can only be delayed, and the most effective way to 'delay' is to bind the patient's body with magical power, just like those elemental summoners use magical shackles to forcibly keep an elemental creature in the material world. ," Although Hetty is only a low-level mage, he still has a good understanding of these theoretical knowledge, "but this is more difficult than binding an elemental creature, because the elemental assimilation will continue to deepen,

The whole process requires continuous infusion of magic power to..."

"A second-level mage, or a second-level mage who was rejected in the secret magic meeting, has neither the ability nor the financial resources to maintain this expensive treatment," Gawain nodded, "so he used his own method - building an efficient An unprecedented self-charging magic circle, and breaking the iron law that similar magic circles can only perform internal circulation, turning this magic circle into a device for 'charging' his daughter. It can be said that he was forced out, because All the large magic focus has been occupied, and the scattered secondary magic focus in the forest can't provide much energy at all, but he solved this problem with his special talent."

"But that abnormal surge of magic power destroyed his magic circle..." Hetty suddenly thought of one thing, "In this case, isn't this self-charging magic circle named 'Magic Web' very powerful? Flaw? When the magic surges up, it can't take it..."

"No, the upwelling of magic power did not damage the structure of the magic circle, it has perfect security measures," Gawain shook his head, "I saw the structure of the magic circle with my own eyes, and I can confirm that it is intact to the end. According to In the diary of the wild mage, the final problem was not the magic circle, but the 'shadow transformation' ritual he performed. The magic binding can only delay the process of element assimilation, but cannot cure it. At that time, Annie was on the verge of losing control, so wild The wizard ventured into a ritual he simply had no control over—and as a result, the magic weaves surged upward with more magic than he was capable of."

"If that's the case...then I'm not worried," Hetty nodded slowly, then looked at the notes left by the wild mage with a complicated expression, "I really can't imagine that a desolate wild mage could make This kind of thing... This large-scale magic circle made of basic units is different from any kind of magic circle I know. It almost abandons all complicated and difficult structures, and instead maximizes... simplicity. "

"Please call it 'Universal'," Gawain smiled. "The work of laying the experimental 'Magic Web' in the smithy is..."

While speaking, he hesitated between Heidi and Rebecca. The technical work of laying a magic circle is obviously more suitable for Hetty, but now Hetty has undertaken most of the work of coordinating the construction of the camp. Although she is very capable in this regard, the next task of building a magic laboratory is Still waiting for her, Gawain really doesn't want to continue to increase her burden; it seems to be okay to give it to Rebecca, although she can only release fireball, but laying a magic circle is different from casting spells by herself, especially this kind of self-charging As long as she can complete the construction of the magic circle according to the blueprint, all she needs is the mastery of theoretical knowledge and calculation ability, but how can I say it...

Every time I see Rebecca, I can't help but look at a silly roe deer... Is this girl really good?

As if seeing Gawain's hesitation, Rebecca jumped up without waiting for Heidi to say a word: "Lord Ancestor Ancestor! Give it to me! I can do it!"

"Are you sure?" Gao Wen took a deep look at the other party, "The importance of this project is beyond your imagination. It can be said to be a foundation and a prerequisite for many of my next plans... Can you handle it?"

Rebecca suddenly stopped jumping and pondering for a while, and looked at Gawain timidly: "Then... If I break it, will you hit me?"

Gawain: "...Forget it, Heidi is still yours..."

In the end, before he finished speaking, Rebecca gathered up the courage and said loudly with her chest out, "But I still want to try!"

Gawain looked at the girl with interest: "Oh?"

"This magic circle... This magic circle looks very interesting to me. I think there are many places... all are very good, maybe I can... I can..." Rebecca stammered a little, and after a long time, it was fine. Without saying a follow-up, he simply bit his head and said, "Although I only know how to set fireballs, my theoretical knowledge is very good! My calculation skills are also very good! Besides, Aunt Heidi has been so busy recently, But I didn't do anything except survey the land and help everyone burn the wasteland, I think..."

Looking at Rebecca's nervous appearance, Gawain couldn't help laughing and looked at Hetty: "Hetty, what do you mean?"

"Rebecca's theoretical knowledge and calculation skills are indeed very strong. In fact, aside from the most important item of spellcasting ability, her talent is better than mine," Hetty glanced at Rebecca helplessly, "Of course, her personality needs to be It would be nice to be more stable.”

"I'm sure I'll be steady!" Rebecca raised her chest hard, but stared straight at the blueprint that Gawain put on the table, which made Gawain a little curious.

So he couldn't help asking: "Are you interested in this magic circle?"

"Yeah," Rebecca scratched her hair, "Actually, I thought about it a long time ago, it would be nice if those difficult spells could be made easier, if it could make spellcasting easier, maybe I could cast it too. Spells other than fireball... This magic circle inspires me a lot!"

Gawain stared straight at Rebecca, and this time the little girl looked horrified.

But after a few seconds, Gawain laughed: "Very good, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Rebecca was overjoyed: "Really?!"

"Of course it's true," Gao Wen took out another piece of paper from under the table, which was a rough sketch of the "Blacksmith's Shop", "at this scale, the entire yard can be used as a 'Magic Web' covering At the same time, build the first batch of furnaces here. You can get the materials needed to draw the magic circle from the treasure house in the mountain, where there are ready-made - although this magic circle is very large, it is a 'basic magic circle' , I believe that the ready-made magic metal in the treasury and the quartz sand brought by Knight Philip from Tanzania are enough for you.

"This experimental magic net is called Magic Net No. 1."

Rebecca, who was entrusted with the important task, left happily, while Heidi continued to guide the serfs and commoners who had just arrived at the camp to set up tents. For a time, only Gawain and Amber were left in the tent.

"You seem very happy?" Miss Half-elf looked at Gawain's expression up and down, "I never saw you so happy when I got the document from that old king--because of flirting. ...is the great-granddaughter interesting?"

Gao Wen: "..."

Can this guy die if he talks nicely?
