Chapter 3 Making Arcane Puppet
Returning to the dormitory, Herard took out the magic crystal from his pocket and placed it on the table, and then began to meditate to restore his mana.
The processing requirements for magic crystal are not high, but the mana consumption is a bit large.
Although the mana output during processing is very stable, the process is like a water pump pumping water.
The pool is just that big, and it bottoms out as you pump.
Herad only has the magic power of an intermediate mage.
He fiddled with it intermittently many times before he could make a magic core.
Every time you continue processing after an interruption, you must be patient and look for that magic energy node.
This is why mages only learn to make arcane puppets when they reach the level of advanced mages.
How powerful is the magic power of a senior mage?
Even if ten intermediate mages are tied together, they can't compete with the senior mages!
Their magic power is so powerful that they can complete the etching of tens of thousands of magic energy nodes in one go.
Mana, a mysterious substance, is a magical substance produced by the fusion of spiritual power and magical energy.
It cannot be used directly for attack and defense, but it can make various magic elements take effect.
The element of magic is equivalent to fire, and mana is the fuel.
The caster provides mana, and the magical elements explode with power.
In Quel'Thalas, which is rich in magical energy, it is very convenient for high elf mages to restore their mana.
This results in the cost of magic items being much lower than in the human kingdom.
A magic core is placed over there in the human kingdom, and even a thousand gold coins cannot come out.
Even if the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran is built on the Magic Network node, the production cost is only slightly lower.
The Sunwell is a spout of magical energy, and the Magic Network node is a leakage hole. There is no comparison between the two!
After the brief meditation, Herard continued to tinker with his magic core.
After several tinkerings, the complete magic core was finally completed.
He was not prepared to sell the magic core that the arcane puppet could use.
All the magic materials for the arcane puppet are in place.
It's time to make an arcane golem of your own!
Mid-level mages have arcane golems, which is a bit high-profile.
But Herald's full name is Herald Chenfeng.
As a member of a large family, he has a lot of resources at his disposal.
It makes sense to buy a finished product.
The magic core placed on the table quickly absorbs the surrounding magic energy to fill itself.
With the injection of magical energy, the arcane light of the magic core becomes more and more dazzling.
Glancing at the increasingly dazzling arcane light, Herard casually covered the magic core with a cover.
After solving this light pollution, he began to concentrate on shaping the carrier of the arcane puppet.
Under the influence of the fossil-to-mud spell, the material of granite becomes soft and can be shaped at will.
Before traveling through time, Herard was a game programmer.
Moreover, he also majored in art, and he could work as an artist.
Even if this memory has been buried in dust for many years, it is still very clear once awakened.
All kinds of gorgeous and cool game models are definitely at your fingertips!
However, if the appearance of the arcane puppet is too out of the ordinary, it may attract the attention of important people.
In the end, the overall style of Harad's first arcane puppet is still relatively abstract.
The difference between it and traditional arcane puppets is that it has a complete torso.
The traditional arcane golem's torso is missing a lot, and only the upper half of the torso is complete.
The function of this half of the torso is to connect the shoulders and head.
The abdominal cavity from the chest down is hollow, and a magic crystal is used to connect the upper and lower body.
The arms are also connected to the shoulders with magic crystals.
This bizarre design is the result of research by professionals in ancient times.
It is said that this can save materials and does not affect use.
In ancient times, the elves had not yet split into high elves and night elves.
The elves at that time were far more powerful than the elves now!
Therefore, the arcane puppet has never been on the battlefield at all.
Since there is no need to go to the battlefield, exposing the magic crystal to the outside will certainly not be a problem.
Moreover, the arcane energy gathered by the magic crystal prevents it from being easily destroyed.
But Herard couldn't stand this design.
He made minor modifications to the arcane puppet so that the damaged areas were protected by armor.
After minor modifications, the arcane puppet looks more human-like in appearance. If you stand still, it looks like a suit of armor made of rock.
What this kind of arcane puppet has in common with traditional arcane puppets is that the magic patterns on their bodies are flowing with arcane energy.
Arcane golems use arcane energy, of course there is nothing wrong with this!
Looking at his masterpiece, Herard nodded with satisfaction.
Well, a puppet has to look like a puppet.
What kind of puppet is a puppet in disarray?
The huge arcane puppet sat quietly next to the desk.
When the master does not assign a task, there is almost no difference between the arcane golem and the stone statue.
Only the eye sockets with the arcane light constantly flashing showed that it was in normal operation.
There is currently no suitable job for the Arcane Golem to do in Harad.
The height of the dormitory is only about four meters, and the arcane puppet cannot even stand up straight.
So it sat on the floor and answered various questions from Harad.
This bizarre scene of questions and answers is to study its intelligence.
The arcane puppet at the entrance of the Moon Temple, Herad did not dare to mess with it like this.
If you keep asking questions about it, the arcane golem will trigger the alarm.
Soon the person in charge came over to curse.
My own arcane puppet, of course, I can ask any questions.
By obtaining data through constant questioning, Herard gained an objective evaluation of the arcane golem's intelligence.
It's almost at the level of a kindergarten kid.
Kindergarten children can distinguish themselves from strangers.
They know this thing can be done and that thing cannot be done.
Although the method of distinguishing good from bad is too rigid, there is no problem in implementing it according to this set of standards.
After obtaining the desired data, Herard put the arcane puppet into sleep mode.
Then he began to consider a plan to enhance the intelligence of the arcane puppet.
The intelligence of arcane golems is related to their magic core level.
The more magic energy nodes there are in the magic core, the higher the intelligence the arcane puppet has.
A big guy who usually guards the door and patrols, but charges mindlessly during battles, certainly doesn't need much intelligence.
Horad was not satisfied with the arcane golem's intelligence.
He opened the secret door on the arcane puppet's chest, put his hand in and pressed it against the magic core, and began to modify it accordingly.
A program with a high degree of intelligence is a huge system composed of logic one after another.
The more logic you have, the higher the requirements for the chip.
The magic core is similar to this.
Only when the hardware facilities are improved can the intelligence be improved.
While Herard was busy strengthening the magic core, a young dragon eagle landed on the window sill and pecked at the glass with its beak.
Seeing the young dragon eagle, which was no bigger than a rooster, Herard opened the window in confusion.
When he reached out and touched the baby dragon eagle, the baby disappeared very suddenly.
All that was left was a scroll glowing with arcane light.
"Magic messenger! Who is so extravagant?"
Herard muttered and clicked on the scroll on the window sill.
The triggered scroll slowly levitated and then unfolded in front of him.
The purple text composed of arcane energy is very eye-catching and seems to be engraved into the mind of the reader.
After reading the eloquent letter of hundreds of words, Herard turned it back into arcane energy and dissipated it.
Most of the letters are filled with gorgeous affixes, and the content is also very verbose.
In summary, there is not much real content.
The content after Hellard reorganized it is very simple.
"Boy, I found that you are very capable. I have already signed you up for this spell competition."
The spell competition is held every year.
Magic academies throughout the High Elf Kingdom will participate.
This kind of spell competition is graded according to the grade of the students.
Although dark horses occasionally appear, the probability is very small.
After all, the training intensity of the high elf mage is too low, so there is basically no chance of such a coincidence.
However, Herard, who was promoted to an intermediate mage, was exactly that dark horse.
And he is also the biggest dark horse!
