Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 637, Military Industry and Exploration

(PS: I returned a chapter and will continue tomorrow.)
There is nothing thrilling about the process of Ai becoming a high-level magician. Other magicians often have to be cautious, but she doesn't need to, because she knows the true meaning of the runes.

A magician starts from a magic apprentice. The first two levels only need to increase the magic reserve and the total amount of mental power. Of course, learning more magic formulas is also necessary. If there are not enough magic formulas, it is impossible to advance. level, but the danger is always not great, as long as there is enough talent.

But from a second-tier magician to a third-tier magician, that is, a high-level magician, this can't be achieved just by accumulating magic power and spiritual power, it also needs to gather the magic circle of the heart.

The so-called magic circle of the heart is actually just what magicians call it. Generally speaking, when high-level magicians advance, they will naturally produce a small amount of magic runes in the sea of ​​consciousness. These magic runes are generally what they have already learned The runes in the magic formula, these runes are combined in the sea of ​​consciousness, as long as they are correct, the advancement is successful, and after advanced to a high-level magician, the combined runes in the sea of ​​consciousness are often based on the number of runes, and The optimization degree of the combined magic array provides one to several super magic skills. The more the number, the more super magic skills items are provided, and the more optimized the combination, the higher the level of super magic skills provided.

This is why magicians need to spend a lot of time, money, and energy relying on magic towers to analyze magic formulas. Otherwise, they cannot enter the ranks of high-level magicians, and even if they are lucky enough to advance For the sake of high-level magicians, their future achievements are also dead by the Prophet. They can no longer add any super magic skills, and they will never be able to become legendary magicians, that's all.

This is why Hao told Ai Yi that it was a matter of course for her to become a high-level magician, and it was just as Hao said. Ai Yi only took a day and a half to become a high-level magician, and she had Three super magic skills, posture-free casting, spell-free casting, and elementary instant casting, which means that she can release first-order magic in an instant with only her thoughts, no gestures, no spells, instant release, With the support of these three super magic skills, she can use at least three magic missiles in one second, which is enough to instantly kill two black warriors. Although the second-level magic and the third-level magic still need magic power to run, they are less With the posture and spell, the release speed has also increased by at least three times. It can be said that Ai, who has become a high-level magician, has suddenly increased his strength by more than several times.

This is why high-level magicians are called high-level instead of third-level. High-level magicians are the beginning of a qualitative change in the legal system, and the qualitative change in the combat system must at least go to legend. In other words, legal system professionals From the third level, there are already a small number of characteristics of the legendary level, which is a qualitative change.

Ai was chattering excitedly, her fingers lit up from time to time, she activated a spell instantly, and then extinguished it, she looked excited like a child... although she looked like a child herself.

"Hahaha, high-level magician, I originally planned to use 50 to 100 years of accumulation to become a high-level magician, but I did it in just a few months. I am really a genius." Ai Yi called out Nao, while holding the pastry on the table, he ate it.

For the rest of the people in the room, Nuo Duo said with a smile: "Miss Aiyi is indeed very talented as a magician, but I think Miss Aiyi can be promoted to a high-level magician so quickly, it is all because of God. help?"

Hao heard this, raised his head slightly, and then continued to look at the document in his hand.

Ai Yi waved his hand and said, "I admit that God did help me a little bit to become a high-level magician, but my own efforts are the main reason, oh, oh..."

Anyang, Nuo Duo, and Gray all laughed softly, not breaking Aiyi's little vanity for a while.

At this time, Hao pointed to a section of the document and said: "Miss Aiyi, the super magic skill you will practice next is magic power. This is a second-level super magic skill. It is not difficult. It is estimated that within a month It can be done, and then there are magic penetration, focused spellcasting, high-level magic penetration, extreme magic effects, and constant magic. After all these super magic skills have been trained, the intermediate-level instant spellcasting..."

Ai Yi looked at the document in Hao's hand, and after hearing so many super magic skills, her expression suddenly changed from an excited smile to a bitter expression, and immediately she didn't eat the pastry, she just sat on the chair with her mouth pouting He muttered: "That's a super-magic technique. Do you think it's a magic formula? What's more, even if it's a magic formula, you have to memorize it all and then use it to cast spells. It's not good to arrange them in a row like you, okay? Other magicians are good at memorizing a magic formula for half a year, but you actually want me to get a second-level super magic skill within a month, are you squeezing me, okay, I don't want it, anyway..."

In fact, super magic skills are not like the difference between first and second levels like magic formulas. Even if the super magic skills of rubbish are used well, they will have miraculous effects. The difficulty of constructing the magic circle and the number of runes still barely set the level for the super magic skills.

Super-magic skills like concentrated spellcasting belong to the first-level super-magic skills, while powerful magic, extreme magic, magic penetration, etc., these belong to the second-level super-magic skills, and then magic is constant, high-level magic penetration, Elementary instant casting belongs to the third-level super magic skills, and so on, the most difficult to obtain, the most difficult to train, and the most direct complete instant casting of magicians to become stronger belongs to the fifth-level super magic skills.

What Aiyi complained is actually not wrong. Generally speaking, it takes about five to ten years for a third-level magician to practice and form a super magic skill in the sea of ​​consciousness. During this period, thousands of various exercises are required. Magic experiments, testing and confirming the true meaning of magic runes, and then combining in the sea of ​​consciousness, because once the combination in the sea of ​​consciousness fails, the backlash of the runes will hurt the foundation of the magician, once or twice is enough, a few more times , then this magician may have no hope of advancing for the rest of his life, so high-level magicians are cautious about super magic skills, and super magic skills are so powerful for magicians, and their strength can be improved so much , and it also involves advanced legendary magicians, so high-level magicians almost spend most of their time and financial resources on super magic skills.

In fact, this is why a magician without a magic tower basically has no hope of becoming a high-level magician, and a high-level magician without an advanced magic tower has no hope of becoming a legendary magician, because of these reasons.

So Ai Yi's complaint is really a moan of happiness. If other magicians know how she is treated, those magicians will cry and call Hao's father, right?Of course, it is more likely to imprison Hao, use soul magic to control Hao, and let Hao become a stepping stone on their road to advancement.

Hao ignored Ai Yi's complaints. After putting down the document, he said to Ai Yi and other elves: "There are three days left for the banquet. During this period, Miss Ai Yi will take everyone to visit the nobles in this city. The big merchants, and some other magicians, Miss Ai is now a high-level magician, and she is also a high-level magician of the elves. With this identity, she can even talk to the border waiters. In the past three days, Miss Ai has Please be busy and get acquainted with these people, and I will use them in my plan later."

Ai curled her lips and said nothing, apparently she was still struggling with Hao's arrangements for training super magic skills, Nuo Duo smiled and asked beside him: "God, what do we need to do specifically? There are several types of acquaintances, and you You haven't told us your plan yet."

Hao nodded. He pondered for a while on his recent thoughts, and then said: "My plan is that we enter the military industry."

Both Noldo and Grayton sat up straight. When they were in the elves, one was involved in internal affairs, and the other was involved in money. Both of them are particularly sensitive to money, and when it comes to the field where money transactions are the largest Pen, that is definitely the military industry, whether it is enchanted weapons, or enchanted armor, or magic scrolls, magical objects, or ordinary military weapons, or the most high-end magic crystal cannons, each of which represents a number. Tens of millions of Lingshi capital flows.

If it was anything else, Noldo and Gray would definitely not be worried, because Hao's resourcefulness is really admirable, and his prudence also determines that he will not take risks, but the military industry is different, and all the military industries involved mean It will involve the giants of the empire or the alliance, whether it is a merchant giant, a mage giant, or an aristocratic giant, this is by no means a big cake that one or two people can eat, it involves one or even several huge interest groups, Let alone a mere high-level magician, if they block the way of making money, even legendary magicians may be in danger, unless they are demigods, but do they have the backing of demigods?
Gray immediately said to Hao cautiously: "God, are you sure we want to enter the military industry? What about the manpower? What about the initial investment? And we don't have minerals. If we buy all steel or precious metals, as long as the supply of raw materials is cut off, then we will If we can’t do anything, once the order cannot be completed, we will owe a large amount of debt and be punished by the government. Our background is not enough to enter the military industry.”

Nuo Duo also persuaded: "Aren't we going too far? God, let me tell you, let's get in touch and get some sponsorship. At least let's settle down first?"

After Hao heard the words, he nodded first, then shook his head and said: "I know what you mean, and I understand your concerns, but the current situation does not allow us to develop slowly, and we don't want to develop in this plant alliance. Being invaded by the dark camp, our purpose has not changed. Strengthening our strength and laying a solid foundation for us to go elsewhere is what we need to do. Here I will first explain why I want to enter the military industry. First Naturally, it is to make money. Miss Aiyi has become a high-level magician, and there are more ways to spend money. Not to mention anything else, just the purchase of third-level magic formulas is not something that can be won by [-] to [-] spirit stones. Not to mention magic weapons, magic armor, magic wonders and the like, and the military industry is the fastest and most profitable, faster than robbery."

"Secondly, I don't intend to compete with the military-industrial interest groups. As the two said, this is an act of courting death. If I dare to do so, then we will all die without a place to die. My goal is to sell the products I designed. semi-magical weapon."

Noldo and Gray were stunned for a moment, and then both of them became excited. They had seen Hao test semi-magic weapons, the kind of cheap weapons made of ordinary metals, but they could burst out the power of magic weapons, and they were long-range magic weapons. Although weapons can only be used a few times before being scrapped, they are very cost-effective in terms of cost performance. If they really sell this kind of semi-magic weapons, then they may really enter the military industry. Of course, the premise is that the benefits are shared. Immediately, they all began to think about whether this matter was feasible from their own perspectives.

At this time, Ai Yi suddenly said seriously: "This is more dangerous than entering the military industry, okay? If this is the case, then I will definitely stop you."

Nuo Duo and Gray seemed to have not recovered, and Ai said to them: "Indeed, semi-magic weapons have not seized the share of vested interest groups in the military industry. This is a brand new field. It is indeed possible for us to enter the military industry through this." It can be regarded as avoiding the minefield, but God, have you ever thought about what the things contained in this thing mean? Do you really think that other magicians are blind? If they discover the mystery of the runes, Then we really have no place to die, no, it’s hard to even think about dying.”

Hao smiled and said, "Naturally, we have considered these things, so we don't sell half-magic guns, we sell half-magic cannons."

"Half-magic...cannon?"

The three elves uttered this sentence in surprise, and for a while the three of them still didn't understand, but Hao just smiled and said nothing, Ai Yi was stunned for a while, suddenly realized, and said with bright eyes: "Good idea! Wrong, we don’t sell half-magic guns, we sell half-magic cannons!!”

Noldo immediately asked Ai, "What do you mean, Miss Ai, is there any difference between this and a half-magic firearm?"

Ai explained patiently: "The reason why semi-magic firearms are banned is actually the miniature runes engraved on them. It's not that there are no magicians who can engrave miniature runes, but generally speaking, to engrave miniature runes, it usually takes Precious metals, such as mithril, are good conductors of magic. Except for mithril, other precious metals are needed, because otherwise, they cannot bear the magic input of runes. This is actually the basic principle of enchanting. When will you meet? Are magical objects made of ordinary iron or steel? Almost all magical objects require mithril and other precious metals, and even inlaid gems. This is the reason. This is the basic principle of magic, not so Cannot counteract the load of miniature runes."

"But what if it's not miniature runes?" Ai Yi's eyes lit up, as if countless spirit stones flowed through them, and she said, "For example, engraving runes in the gun barrel, although it is indeed smaller in terms of magic circles. A lot, but this is much less difficult than engraving runes in the barrel of a finger-thick gun. In fact, it is already considered a magical object, and the semi-magic cannon is not counted. This is at best a magical improvement. I understand what you mean, God, we are elves, and I am also a high-level magician, so I know some of the latest magic knowledge of the elves, this is a very reasonable thing, this is not a taboo, magician of the plant alliance Maybe this kind of magic rune shrinking technology is envious, but it is not worth killing for it. It is better to kill a high-level magician, and this high-level magician is still an elf. This benefit, this identity, we are almost fine. gone."

Noldo and Gray looked at Hao half-understood, Hao just smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it, I hope the three of you will go to the banquet this time, bring up the matter of the half-magic tower, and then start this proposal , it is best to be able to sign a contract, it does not need to be too harsh, we retain the license to manufacture the semi-magic cannon, and at the same time charge a small patent fee, all other partners can get the manufacture of this semi-magic cannon for free Technology, I think in this way, we can obtain at least 50 spirit stones without being envied and hated because of too much benefit, this is my idea."

Aiyi nodded again and again, and Noldo and Gray's eyes were also bright. The three elves began to discuss the possibility of this approach with Hao. After confirming for a long time, the three elves all affirmed Hao's idea, military industry, huge profits. , You will gain weight in just one wave, is there anything better than this?

However, Ai Yi was still a little worried. She thought for a while and said, "But after all, there may be accidents on the spot, and you hate accidents, right? So if not, I will leave you a magical imprint of the call, and you can listen to our discussion all the way." In the process, you can talk to me at the same time, only I can hear it, if there is any accident, you can tell us at any time, either terminate the case, or choose a contract, what do you think?"

Hao also hesitated, although according to his analysis, this banquet is unlikely to have an accident, and this semi-magic cannon will not catch fire, but he really hates accidents the most, so he agreed to Ai Yi's request .

In this way, a few days passed quickly, Ai Yi and others went to the Marquis Mansion to attend the banquet, while Hao stayed in the hotel and waited for the banquet to start.

Ai Yi and the others got out of the carriage and entered the Marquis' Mansion through the main entrance. What they didn't notice was that outside the front garden, there was a tree spirit girl looking at the magic badge on Ai Yi's chest.

"...A high-level magician? Such a young child is a high-level magician?" the girl murmured.

Beside the girl was a handsome elf guard, who also saw the badge on Ai's magic robe, and the elf guard said: "Miss, that magician is a dark elf, maybe he is older than us combined It’s even bigger, it’s just what it looks like.”

The girl immediately said with disdain: "I know, dark elves, they will never look old, they are legal loli or something... But who is she talking to? Doesn't she know that it is impolite to use magic to attend a banquet like this?"

The elf suddenly felt awe-inspiring. He knew that the girl had extraordinary talents. Her eyes could see trickles of magic that even legendary magicians couldn't see. Although she was only a first-level magician, she had the potential to become The potential of a legendary magician, the elf guard said coldly: "Could it be a spy from the underworld camp? Miss wait for me, I will report to the master."

The girl nodded repeatedly, and the elf guard immediately ran towards the backyard. After the elf guard disappeared, the girl smiled and said, "Is it a spy? The other side of her call is in... the downtown area?"

The girl rolled her eyes, and then she chanted a magic spell. Her figure gradually became transparent. Although she wasn't completely invisible, if she didn't pay attention, she couldn't be seen. Now she was careful from the side door. After walking out, he left the Marquis Mansion under the eyes of the guards and attendants, and then happily ran out towards the downtown area.
