Dear Broom Knight

As the light of dawn once again illuminated Lorry's face, he finally completed the preliminary preparations for the composite array.

Instead of the usual hexagram or pentagram, Lorry chose the most complex ring array.

After all, the reason those two types of arrays are more commonly used is because they can quickly draw on external magical energy.

But in reality, evil or light energy is the easiest to draw on.

In the fantasy world, the earliest magic arrays were actually very simple, all expanded from magic models: just a circle, and then runes added outside the circle.

As the required functions increased, another layer of circles was added to the outside.

Most of those ancient magic ruins are quite large, expanding outward in circles, interspersed with many splatter marks.

However, as the control over magic runes increased, the energy consumption also became stronger... the mages couldn't withstand such terrible consumption anymore.

In the beginning, no one really cared about the consumption, until the mages realized they were getting poorer and poorer.

The current financial straits and poverty of mages are all the fault of their ancestors in ancient times.

This is the case in every world.

All mages who play with magic arrays can only turn to the embrace of star arrays in the end, hoping that the stars above and the external magical concentration will allow the gems embedded in their arrays to be consumed more slowly.

Those who still use circular arrays are mainly those of the sacred arrays, especially the followers of those particularly ancient gods.

There's no other way, their main god's power is strong and they prefer the taste that matches the laws.

More importantly, these ancient gods have no expectations for faith, and whether or not they respond to their followers depends only on their mood.

Therefore, their followers can only grit their teeth and burn more money.

And those gods who need faith have basically followed the trend and changed their divine術 arrays into star arrays.

The circular array has slowly disappeared in most worlds.

Lorry picking this thing up again is not because he has too much money to burn.

It's because he's already burned it all.

At least the ancient mages only added a few gems between the rune lines!

He's directly using gems to make the rune lines.

Taking a double ring as an example, even the simplest one requires nine lines in the middle.

The more circles there are, the more lines are used, but if the array is made standard and stable enough, then normally three lines are added.

The ring array is not only closely related to the laws, but also to the mage's strength.

Lorry is a fifth-circle mage, so at most he can only make five circles... that's 54 gem lines.

Of course, there is also something indispensable, which is the magic hub that controls the flow of magical energy between the rings.

To put it bluntly, it's to make the fast-flowing specific attribute magical energy pause at a certain point, and transfer it to another branch line at a slower speed according to the guidance of the magic runes.

Therefore, the material for making the magic hub must be able to store enough magical energy.

In the past, mages basically used larger astral meteorites or aurora colored steel with very strong recovery power to solve this difficult problem.

But Lorry can't use them.

It's not that he doesn't have these two things, although the quantity is not much, at least not as much as mithril.

But the value of this thing is too precious... even a 16th-level archmage like Alsarand, who is rich and wealthy, probably doesn't necessarily have it in his hand, and if he does, it won't be too big, even something the size of a little finger would make him a rich man.

How dare Lorry take it out to use!

Moreover, he's actually a little reluctant.

After all, these things are basically judged as special weapon materials.

There are a bunch on the main quest line, and there are also many side quests related to knight ranks.

But there aren't many on the side of the Knights and the manor.

It may be that it is defaulted that the top-level materials can only be used by the manor lord himself, no matter how strong his knights are, they don't have that qualification.

Lorry, who discovered this reality, could only be secretly sad.

Even if there are more benefits, Lorry will not allow himself to become an appendage of any other existence.

Lorry has been using those sealed good things to temper his will recently.

In fact, he never really cared about those exaggerated artifacts from the beginning.

What really broke his defense were these top-level materials.

Which alchemist mage can remain unmoved when he sees star steel mithril interstellar drifting iron bigger than a table?

Unless he can personally make it himself.

Even if he has tempered his will enough to be firm, Lorry can't help but sigh when he thinks of those materials.

But, compared to those archmages in the real world... Lorry doesn't want to pay attention to mages of the same level, and others will probably just tell him to get lost... compared to them, Lorry is still quite wealthy.

For example, the Calomorgin he plans to use in the cold pool.

This material is a good thing that can stimulate water-based energy to the extreme, and can even create water out of thin air.

The reason why he dares to take it out for public use is because he has dug up an underground cold spring.

There is a little bit that the archmages can still understand, after all, they have quite a few in their hands.

In addition, he also has countless ten thousand year old ice!

Within the Ten Thousand Year Frozen Ice, there was also a special kind of deep blue, opaque ice crystal that could glitter like a gem and be hammered into shape.

This gem had a beautiful name: Azure Profound Ice.

Although its quantity was scarce... finding even one piece on a Ten Thousand Year Ice Mountain would be considered an exaggeration... it did exist after all.

It was just rather troublesome to mine, as one careless move could cause the entire ice mountain to collapse.

Lowry had caused no shortage of trouble at the beginning, busying himself fleeing for his life in the rolling cold currents.

But later, he became a skilled worker.

The combination of Azure Profound Ice and Kalomo Gold was enough for Lowry to set up an elemental pool in the cold pond that could obtain sufficient ice-type energy without any external force.

Although it was a bit different from the one in the magic tower, the function was actually about the same.

Lowry wasn't confident about the Ice Crystal Fish, but he could guarantee that the Ice Fish would have the most comfortable living environment.

The latest novels are available at 69shu ba!

Of course, the most important thing was energy.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lowry decided to turn the cold pond into the innermost ring of the magic array.

Then, using the Ten Thousand Year Frozen Ice as a wall, he completely sealed off the original shallow underground water system.

Although doing so was equivalent to completely separating the inner and outer water systems, since Lowry had set up teleportation and monitoring magic arrays within that water system, there was no need to worry too much.

The water used in his castle was drawn up through pipes buried underground, and it was not originally the same as the outer water system.

He would have to be crazy to allow the water entering his castle to be connected to the surface water outside.

Otherwise, how could he have always felt that Ruthkania couldn't possibly succeed!

Clearly, there was an underground water system two hundred meters deep beneath his castle!

Crescent Lake was only a few hundred meters away from his castle.

Therefore, when Ruthkania said that her and the White Dragon King's luck had returned, Lowry didn't deny it at all... in his heart, of course.

He also had good luck, but definitely not to the extent of having his wishes come true so easily, even after eating the Lucky Pearl.

Lowry looked at the 16 rack servers in front of him, the 54 strands of elemental gemstone wires coiled together, and the thick, multicolored wire, and sighed softly.

Don't underestimate these things that consumed two days of his time, but... the subsequent work was even more troublesome.

Most importantly, he had to complete this work himself.

The most troublesome thing about circular magic arrays was that whoever presided over it had to do the work.

It wasn't to the point that only he could control it; in the end, management permissions could be given on the central equipment.

But apart from using certain fixed functions, these managers couldn't touch anything else.

Absolutely safe, but also quite tiring.

Otherwise, there wouldn't always be mages who spent several years completing a huge magic array, successfully achieving the ancient legend of directly communicating with something or other.

Star arrays were also very considerate in this regard; no matter how many people cooperated, it wasn't a problem.

Of course, it was also easier to be exposed.

Therefore, most mages had their apprentices do those monotonous but troublesome chores.

Even if they knew which area of the magic array they had created, after the magic array started running, the apprentices wouldn't have the ability to find the location... even if they had a photographic memory, it was useless.

If their mental strength wasn't enough, it was normal for their brains to explode if they desperately tried to think about some rune imprints.

Lowry never thought that after becoming a mage, he would still have to do such painful physical labor.

Fortunately, the muscles he had trained in the past were still there, and his strength was still great enough.

To put it bluntly, according to those game rules, he was a standard mage who had transitioned from a knight's squire, and his strength was at least ten points higher than mages of the same level.

The reason why no one had ever doubted his future profession in the first place was also largely due to his outrageous performance.

You know, for mage seedlings, wanting them to have their intelligence and spirit naturally maxed out, while also adding agility, strength, and constitution to the limit of mortals... how was that possible?

Now Lowry could guess a little bit of the reason.

Even if his bloodline hadn't completely awakened, since Ruthkania could smell it, then a portion of it must have been revealed.

Dragon's physique, what else was there to say?

His current strength and constitution were probably also increasing with age.

Well, agility might also be increasing, but he hadn't paid much attention.

After all, he wouldn't even walk a few hundred meters when going out.

Who would walk if they could fly?

It wasn't a question of whether he could or not.

Lowry stood up, put the things in front of him into the demiplane, walked to the window of the study, and looked outside.

The sun was shining brightly, the weather was neither cold nor hot, and the breeze passing by him carried a hint of coolness... perfect for starting work.

Aurora Steel: A special material that shimmers with light, flashing changing colors of pink and indigo. Fragments will quickly and seamlessly join together, and the item will return to its previous state.

Kalomo Gold is a metal ore that can be clearly identified with the naked eye. It is translucent and glows when illuminated. It is often explored in conjunction with underground water veins. Weapons made from it appear semi-transparent light gray, and condensation will continuously form on the surface of the weapon; when judging whether it can penetrate the damage reduction of fire subspecies (such as red dragons), it is regarded as a magic weapon, even without any magical enhancement.
