Chapter 136: Expensive Research (Part 1)
The Thunder Dragon was reluctant to leave its nest, so Salin took this opportunity to sort out his ideas and find a way for him to move forward.
Now Salin understood a little. He didn't die after drinking the magic string potion. That was because the potion was once stored in the lightning-shaped trace of the badge, and some attributes were changed by the badge.
So if he wants to achieve the highest achievement in magic, he has to consider the beginning of his magic.
Everything is related to this family badge. The badge contains the power of lightning, and his magic string formation will inevitably be affected by this. Khasarin also remembers that when the magic string was formed, he only saw the water element.
The secret of lightning may be related to the water element, and the so-called elemental balance is also an illusion. Salin fell into deep meditation for the first time, and he also discovered for the first time that during meditation, the magician was not sleeping, and his thinking was clearly still running, but he could not calculate any magic formula at this time. When his spirit was extremely relaxed, he could recall the most vague thing in his memory.
This kind of memory is very complicated, as if it is very vague, but the body's feelings are unusually real. Salin recalled the moment when the badge released lightning, and the things that were ignored appeared in his mind one by one.
He couldn't remember how the badge released lightning, but he recalled all the fluctuations and changes in the elemental feeling that his body felt at that time.
I don't understand the principles, but I have the deepest feelings. This...
Salin was a little frightened. Isn’t this a ability that only monsters have? Could it be that the magic learned by humans is inspired by monsters?
This is impossible. Humans were very powerful in the past. There was no warcraft comparable to them. There was no need for humans to learn to fight against species lower than themselves.
Salin exited the meditation state, which confused him, but he knew that it was impossible for him to reveal the secret of magic now, no matter what, by himself, no matter how it originated. How did magic originate and why it spread among humans.
However, just now he felt the feeling of the moment when the lightning was released, and had a deeper understanding of the magic patterns on the badge, so Salin decided to do an experiment.
Salin has just come into contact with the Shuiyan Alchemy, and he cannot really learn it. Fortunately, he now knows the true meaning of refining the magic pattern, which is to allow the power of the element to operate in the magic pattern in the set way. Although there is no Shuiyan Alchemy, Salin can also roughly refine some simple items.
Now he is rich and powerful, he directly took out the Demon Hunting Spider. He hasn't used this little thing for a long time. The dangers that Salin has encountered in the past one or two years cannot be solved by the Demon Hunting Spider. Most of the time, he just let the Demon Hunting Spider lurk beside and wait for the opportunity.
If the demon hunting spider is not counted as eight legs, it is only the size of a fist. It is just a creature without a magic core, but has level 4 strength. Its tough body and sharp forelimbs are all the abilities of the demon hunting spider. When Xika hit it with a stick, it just smashed the demon hunting spider very flat, but it did not take the life of this thing.
Salin re-analyzed the body composition of the demon spider, and after exploring it, he found that the patterns inside the shell of the demon spider were actually magic patterns. Although the surface of the demon spider's body was pitch black, it still had magical attributes.
These magic patterns are extremely complex, and like the patterns on the Salin badge, they are all three-dimensional structures.
The extremely strong ability to withstand and amazing recovery ability are the meaning of this magic pattern. Unfortunately, Salin has just discovered these magic patterns now, and it is too late to study them. When Ani's parents refined the demon spider for Salin, they slightly destroyed the structure of some magic patterns.
In other words, the current demon spider puppet is not as strong as when you are alive. When encountering violent attacks like Sika, the demon spider puppet will be damaged and even cannot be repaired.
The best part of maintaining the magic pattern is the front foot of the demon spider, and a bunch of sharp foot blades can still tear the defense of the magic shield.
Salin studied this magic pattern and gave up. The magic pattern in the front foot of the demon spider is the same as some advanced alchemy arrows. The advanced alchemy arrows must be equipped with a magic core and can break the magic shield after being shot. Salin has never refined the advanced alchemy arrows, but has also read the drawings. At that time, he did not know that this magic pattern was a three-dimensional structure and also existed inside the arrows.
Salin didn't want to refine this three-dimensional structure of magic patterns. Before he learned the Shuiyan Alchemy, he could only refine a simple magic pattern structure. The magic core in the demon spider was taken out. Salin first refines a layer of magic patterns on the family badge on the surface of the spider's body. He has experience with this magic pattern and is extremely simple to refine it, just to make the magic array run, and at the same time it can emit a weak current.
Using fire elements to refine magic equipment will inevitably lead to deviations. The higher the level, the smaller the deviation. Salin's flame alchemy is extremely rough. Although he is a level 4 mage, his operational ability is similar to that of a level 3 mage. The flame converted from water elements is not controlled subtle enough that he cannot refine fine magic patterns at all.
Salin spent a whole day and finally roughly refined the magic pattern on the demon spider. This was completely different from his attitude towards the gods. The gods were unique, and the demon spider was just experimental material.
After refining the Thunder and Lightning Magic Pattern, Salin refined the natural magic pattern on the body of the Thunder Dragon on the surface of the demon-hunting spider. He knew that the effect of this local imitation was not good, but he was just familiar with all the feelings about Thunder and Lightning, and whether it was successful was not within his consideration.
At most, the demon spider was destroyed, which was his most solid natural material. He could not do it if he wanted to make his own puppet.
Salin is a bit wealth-keeping, but he also has the most basic characteristics of a magician. Once he enters the research state, he doesn't care about any consumption. In order to pursue the truth, a magician can take many dangers and never knows how to regret it.
When Salin was in Kushui County, the magic cores he consumed were dozens of gold coins every day, which was not the waste he was trying to make scrolls. No matter how valuable the items were, Salin didn't care. Only magicians who were willing to invest could walk ahead of others.
The Thunder and Lightning Demon Patterns and the Thunder Dragon Demon Patterns have nothing in common, and there is no place to combine with each other. Salin uses perception to simulate, looking for the most suitable way.
His stupid method is usually used by magicians without inheritance. Because without the guidance of a teacher, self-taught magicians can only learn ordinary magic through continuous simulation and continuous exploration.
For a mage like Rex, most of the magic learning process starts with theory, and the teacher will tell her how to complete it in details. The first step in learning magic is extremely simple.
A magician without a teacher's guidance will spend most of his energy on this simulation. Salin has rich theoretical knowledge, but lacks direct guidance from Jason. Jason's essence inheritance needs to be opened at level 5, and now all his knowledge is basic. It is enough for level 1 to level 3, but after level 4, it will be a little trouble.
Jason didn't expect Salin to be promoted to a great magician so soon, so he only taught him the knowledge from level one to level three. The latter were told scatteredly, and Jason's own magic notes were also given to Salin. Over the years, Salin has become accustomed to learning magic based on theoretical knowledge. Now he uses simulation to deduce the fit between these two magic patterns, which is actually very unfamiliar to him.
Salin simulates the local magic patterns on the Thunder Dragon's body, and is refined with the magic patterns on the family badge, which is a challenge for him. The magic patterns on the family badge are three-dimensional structures. Salin simplifies them and will not change the characteristics of the three-dimensional structure, otherwise it will not contain electric current.
The magic pattern Salin on the surface of the Thunder Dragon's body only saw one plane and did not use his mental power to detect it. At that time, his mental power could not detect the Thunder Dragon's body. The power of electric current could destroy the structure of the mental power. In other words, when the surface of the Thunder Dragon's body was covered with blue current, even the magician could not lock it with magic.
This is the most terrifying thing about the Thunder Dragon. You cannot lock it. The magic loses the tracking effect. Without the accuracy, no matter how powerful the magic is, it is just the same as the magic cannon.
Salin used perception to simulate for several hours, but could not find a way to fit the two magic patterns. He simply refined the Thunder Dragon Magic Pattern on the outer layer of the Thunder and Lightning Magic Pattern, and the two magic patterns simply had no connection.
This is much easier for Salin, as long as you can control the distance between the magic patterns.
Including the magic patterns that Aini's parents have refined for Salin's demon-hunting spider, now there are three layers of magic patterns on the demon-hunting spider puppet. One layer is the magic patterns that protect the body structure of the demon-hunting spider, and the other two layers are related to the power of thunder and lightning. Salin doesn't know the specific effect.
He took out the magic core and installed it again on the demon spider, so that the demon spider could move.
The fourth-level magic core embedded in the body of the demon hunting spider only emitted a second of light, and then dimmed. A blue current suddenly appeared on the surface of the body of the demon hunting spider. The blue current was no different from the surface of the body of the thunder dragon, but the intensity was different. I don’t know how much it was.
The blue current flowed on the surface of the body of the Demon Hunting Spider, and it was neither released to attack nor disappeared. However, the level 4 magic cores embedded on the Demon Hunting Spider were almost scrapped, and the Demon Hunting Spider was paralyzed, and Salin could not command any movement.
This is really a huge waste. These six level 4 magic cores were installed on the body of the demon spider for the first time. In a test of the condensation of current, it was still unsuccessful. Let these six level 4 magic cores be close to the level of scrapping. If you want to study the way to truly release lightning through simulation, the consumption would be astronomical.
Many mages are not geniuses, they are just willing to devote themselves to study in depth in the field of magic. Salin was a little worried because he knew that this ability had never appeared in other magicians. The maker of the badge did not know who it was. Unless he found the notes of this person, he would have to start everything from scratch.
