Chapter 270: A History
Ronald had only witnessed the making of magic props once.
Those were the gloves that Claudia made a few nights ago before dealing with Elva.
Claudia, who specializes in investigator spells, changed the state of matter, softening the cobblestones that could store magic power into silk threads, mixed them into the cloth, and then woven them into the gloves that Ronald is now wearing.
Whether considering it from a practical or aesthetic point of view.
This is definitely a very good magic prop.
The old man in front of Ronald now, a mysterious folk craftsman named Elon, showed completely different techniques from Claudia when making items.
After confirming Ronald's hand shape, Elon first confidently selected a piece of material, which was a silver solid with a metallic luster.
Immediately, he fixed the material on the tool table.
The vise forged from two pieces of hard steel firmly bites the material. The other positions are hollowed out to facilitate manual processing. It is definitely a tool table that Ronald has never seen before.
Then, Elon took out a slender pointed handle.
He controlled his own magic power to pour it in, and immediately aimed at the silver solid and stabbed it.
Sizzling -
the sound of melting at high temperature where the two are in contact.
Ronald could clearly see at the same time that the piece of silver material had begun to deform under Elon's operation.
While doing this work, the elderly craftsman showed a very leisurely attitude.
Such a simple task was already familiar to him.
Even when he was dissolving the shape of the material, he still had time to explain to Ronald:
"Sir, the material I chose for you is the engraved silver that I accidentally obtained when I was working at sea. Although it is not as good as Those are the top magic materials, but in my small shop, it is definitely the material that best meets your requirements." "..."
Engraved
silver...
Hearing this word, Ronald immediately remembered what he had done in The old investigator that Berenwich met was the engraver responsible for maintaining the foundation of the investigative bureau building's magic circle.
And the name of the material the old man mentioned now may have a lot to do with it.
Being idle right now is also idle.
Watching Elon's movements, Ronald simply said:
"The naming of this material seems to have a lot to do with the engraver..." "
Who says it's not?" Listening to Ronald's chatting tone, Elon naturally would not cause trouble with his guest, not to mention that the other party was an original holder, so he explained decisively: "
Since that Stater pioneered the engraving technology, not only various The production of props or magic circles, and even the development of the school are far better than before."
"The mark of the school... is really a creation beyond imagination." "
..."
Elon said a very casual sigh, but Ronald was amazed. Startled.
The school mark...
was actually created by that Stater?
That pioneer in the dark ages of this world that he once saw in the Bureau's collection of books?
Although Elon just mentioned it in casual conversation.
But Ronald's intuition told him that this was very important information and he must ask for it clearly!
Silently controlling his mentality, Ronald kept his tone as unchanged as possible.
He spoke slowly and asked:
"The School Mark is indeed a very powerful creation."
"But I haven't learned about the history of this aspect during my study. Can you tell me about it?"
Ronald heard After asking, the old craftsman was slightly startled.
"Ugh...?"
At this moment, the engraved silver on the tool table has melted half, and he is using magic interference to generate a force field on the tool table, fixing the material like a melted candle in the air.
As a mysterious person who makes and sells props for a living, he rarely hears people asking about this kind of thing.
Strictly speaking, this is not a secret of his own school.
Moreover, for a small school sect with no reputation, it seems that he has nothing worth coveting for others...
let alone the young man in front of him.
He is also a solid original code holder.
The feeling in his heart was a bit complicated, but Elon still smiled and sighed:
"I have such a thirst for knowledge about everything."
"Perhaps only a scholar like you can be qualified to hold the original canon at such a young age."
Luo Nader nodded and responded:
"You are exaggerating."
"I'm just a little curious." He
smiled at Ronald, while controlling the engraved silver that was almost completely melted and almost in a liquid state, Elon showed a trace of his face. After reminiscing about it, he continued to explain:
"Speaking of which, you may not necessarily know this history."
"Generally speaking, only people who study magic circles or engravings will know this under the guidance of teachers. Something. That happened a long time ago, at the end of the Dark Ages..."
Next, while Elon was shaping the shape of the ring, he told Ronald about the mysterious side of it long ago.
It is said that before the Dark Ages, human schools did not need school marks when casting spells. Instead, they had to learn knowledge from a teacher, and then pass the test of the original scriptures in the ceremony to obtain the qualifications to cast spells.
This process is very dangerous.
Once you enter the trial of the original canon, you will naturally be able to obtain the permission to use spells if you successfully pass it.
But if it fails...
nothing outside can interfere with the trial.
Failure means death.
It was not until the end of the Dark Ages that Stat's research created a scholastic imprint that could channel the power of the original scripture. This allowed the mysterious side sect to reduce its exaggerated mortality rate and embark on a new stage of development.
It is a pity that with the end of the Dark Age, the best mystical side magicians at that time also returned to dust one by one. The environment that originally had a tendency to integrate schools was gradually abandoned without the support of its leaders.
To this day.
Many large schools of thought at that time had become very fragmented.
Driven by personal interests, the development of the mysterious side has once again stalled.
On the contrary, the imprint of the school invented in that era has been completely popularized in this era.
After telling this past history, Elon also carved the miniature magic circle into the material, and then completed the shape of the ring.
Take out the silver ring from the tool table.
After polishing it very brightly with other tools, the old man held the ring and showed it in front of Ronald:
"It has been made. Sir, do you want to try it on?"
Ronald nodded and responded:
"Yes, Let me try."
"..."
He took the prop from Elon with a normal expression.
After all, the ring is made according to the shape of the hand, so it is naturally very comfortable to wear.
But the thoughts in Ronald's mind.
But it is not as ordinary as it appears on the surface.
[Thank you, I just want to give you a big reward! 】
