Above The Sky

The year 766 of the Terran calendar is in the middle of the season of red leaves.

In the afternoon, the teaching building.

At this time, almost all the students had already left, and even Elder Pude took some knowledge points of Ian in the school not long ago. After getting a satisfactory answer, he went to the frontline position outside the city and negotiated with the Viscount about the distribution of supplies in the imperial capital.

But Ian happened to be thinking about a question about the inscription, and he didn't want to interrupt his thoughts, so he stayed in the classroom alone.

Inscriptions, also known as runes, are a skill that originated with the dwarves and eventually spread to the tribes of Terra.

The foundation of inscriptions, as the name suggests, is based on 'words'.

If you want to learn, you must first learn to read and write. And this is also the most difficult difficulty for beginners of inscriptions.

On the Terra continent, except for some dialects of various ethnic groups and countries, the same language is basically used, which is also called the "common language".

It is said that this language was already common in the pre-epoch civilization, so even if the ancestors of the mainland countries were scattered in various places, they could communicate normally when they met.

Even the vernacular of Aboriginal languages ​​is, in essence, nothing more than a twisted, extreme dialectized and elliptical lingua franca—with at least a few words still intelligible.

The writing of Common Language is composed of various geometric figures. Compared with symbols, it is better to say that it is a painting, and it is more like a special code than a natural writing.

According to the pre-epoch civilization already using this language, Ian has a bold guess, that is, the pre-epoch civilization of Terra Continent is a highly developed and unified advanced civilization that has eliminated various primitive natural languages.

The lingua franca is the 'Esperanto' created by the other party.

And the foundation of the inscription is on this 'world common language'.

Specific etching patterns, raised stripe structures, and various regular and complex geometric figures can induce fluctuations in the natural psionic field. This has been proven by various scholars.

The flesh and blood structure of Warcraft and the various strange and extraordinary phenomena that can be triggered by the skeletal lines are also powerful proofs.

Inscriptions are the skills of artificially reproducing natural phenomena and the extraordinary power of monsters on various materials by learning to reproduce these lines.

Inscription craftsmen and inscription scholars are high-level occupations that require skilled craftsmanship and extensive knowledge.

Coincidentally, the text of the Common language is very similar to the overall structure of the inscription - or, the Common language itself, is an extremely simplified inscription with all the complicated parts omitted.

"Real inscriptions have extremely high requirements for the depth and width of the lines. Concave and convex lines are two different research directions. Even some advanced inscriptions are a three-dimensional structure, which requires various complex Hollows and miniature engravings, people who lack spatial imagination can make mistakes even when they look at pictures.”

"In addition, special inscriptions also require special light ink filling to work."

Ian closed his notes, lost in thought.

Re-engraving, utilizing, and learning different extraordinary structures are the essence of inscriptions, and only those with good memory have the foundation to learn inscriptions.

As it happens, Ian's memory is pretty good.

For more than a month, he has mastered the reading and writing of the common language of Terra. This is also thanks to Ian's mother in this life. She is a smart and literate woman who has already laid a little foundation when Ian was young. It was so easy for him to learn that he didn't need to spend time getting used to it.

The one hundred and three most basic inscription styles are also kept in mind and will never be forgotten no matter what.

However, learning to read and write common language, mastering a few inscription structures, and the distance from being truly proficient in inscriptions is equivalent to being asked to write poems in seven steps just after learning how to write from one to ten; Riemann conjecture.

If nothing else, 'light and ink science' is a big problem.

If the inscription is the engine, and the light ink is the gasoline, the inscription can certainly induce changes in the natural psionic field, but it does not have the power itself, and needs to be filled with light ink to create a real effect.

The original light ink is the blood of various monsters, the liquid that contains the power of the source material, but just like firewood can cook vegetables, but if you want to drive the rocket ship, the fuel you need must not be selected coal.

"Only understand the effect of inscriptions, only re-engraving, depicting inscriptions, and can only be regarded as inscription craftsmen. Only those who master the basic structure of inscriptions, learn how to reorganize inscriptions, create new effects, and even equip themselves with specific light and ink, can A true epigrapher."

"However, Port Harrison has only artisans, not scholars."

After so many months of study, Ian has mastered some basic inscription construction. If he has gone through a lot of practical exercises, he can go to the front line like his former blacksmith 'classmates' to maintain alchemy artillery and various inscriptions. mechanical.

This can only be regarded as an entry level. It is said that apprentices are reluctant, but even Elder Pude, who is a teacher, just has more inscriptions and is more proficient in inscriptions and maintenance than them. There is no difference in essence.

Apprentices and skilled workers.

But enough to make the nobles courtesy.

"The course is coming to an end, and there are two weeks left, but I have nothing left to learn."

Nodding slightly, Ian stood up, ready to leave the small building.

Although it is only the most basic part, the course of Elder Pude has indeed laid a solid foundation for him. At least he is no longer ignorant of alchemy and inscriptions. If he encounters relevant documents and materials in the future, he can learn by himself. .

"The accumulation of Origin Seeds is a process of water grinding. Inscriptions and alchemy also require a long period of accumulation. I have entered a bottleneck period."

Since the condensing of the source seeds, Ian's past physical deficits have been quickly made up, and under the nourishment of the food containing the source substances, he can be called unprecedented health.

After so many months of training, he even felt that his body had completely transformed, his pores had become finer, his skin seemed fair and delicate, but it was actually quite flexible, his internal organs had also been strengthened, and his digestive ability had greatly increased, which was impossible before. Difficult movements have become easier and simpler. Ordinary people who want to tie him with ropes or shackles will be easily freed.

Because of his young age, he can't rashly strengthen his muscles, but even so, because of adequate nutrition, Ian's strength and endurance have been greatly strengthened.

If it was him now, when he met the three native hunters who attacked him and Brin, he would not need Brin to attract attention and sneak attack, and he could suppress the opponent head-on, and even kill one or two.

But now this level is the limit.

The sublimation of the liver is already on the right track, but it will be completely completed at the end of the year. At that time, Ian will have the most basic qualifications to take potions. Otherwise, a lot of potion materials will be enough to poison ordinary people and people like him just by touching them. beginner.

You must know that ordinary practitioners, for the sake of stability, will even spend several years sublimating their internal organs and then consider taking magical medicines for the final transformation.

Ian was able to advance so much because of Hilliard's detailed planning for him.

"It's time to prepare to go hunting, or to pick up some monster materials to prepare for the future."
