Chapter 108： Runes and formulas

Drawing a matrix and portraying a rune is a highly technical job. As a product unique to the world, it is not just a simple "painting" as many people imagine - although it is simply based on the original image. Drawing is really simple, but to become a rune teacher, you can't just learn to draw.

If you simply draw the legal array according to the drawings, then ordinary people can do it, even if they are completely incapable of sensing the magic of civilians, just tell them how to draw, what painting, they can do the mapping of the array, This is a simple "production and reproduction" job.

But in addition to this production and reproduction, the Rune Masters also have the ability to create and adapt: ​​they need to help the wizard to make magical props, or to draw the array on a variety of complex magical materials, and each magical prop or guide The nature of magic materials is different, and there are countless changes in the combination, which is doomed that they can not draw the array according to the drawings on the books - they must be based on the carrier materials and the use of the array. Change the pattern of runes on the array, or fine-tune the position and connection of each rune.

In short, the Rune Masters are creating “blueprints”. Each time they draw, they are drawing the original female parent, and they are all creating.

This process must use the ability to perceive magic and the ability to "tune" the runes.

The former can determine whether each rune can function normally in the process of drawing blueprints, whether there is interference between the runes and the threshold, and the latter is the skill of injecting the magic into the runes and performing the actual test - although the rune often There is no ability to drive the entire array, but testing the local rune group can still be done.

To achieve these two points, at least to become a formal master of the first level, the apprentice of the mage is absolutely impossible, because the apprentices of the mage do not have the ability to simultaneously sense and manipulate the plural runes, and their magic can not be precise. Control, external output, if done... they will graduate.

Jenny’s information clearly stated that she is a mage apprentice.

This time Jenny heard Gao Wen’s question, but she didn’t know how to answer it. After hesitating and weighing for a long time, she chose to bow her head and screamed: “It’s luck, adult.”

"Luck?" Gao Wenmei's eyebrows are picking up, and the tone is not.

"Yes, luck," Jenny still lowered her head. "My instincts are very good. I always find the correct rune arrangement. You should know that the rune arrangement is regular, as long as you have enough experience. And with enough intuition, you can accurately arrange those..."

"If you are lucky, you have already died in an accident before you have accumulated enough experience," Gao Wen directly interrupted the other party. "I am a knight, but I also understand the basic principles of magic - for a magical array. In other words, the position and connection of each rune is quite strict. Unless you have already understood the rules of all the runes in the world and how they are combined, you can't put them in place at all. Rune arrangement There are rules to follow, but I have never heard of anyone who has parsed out the rules of all runes, and it is because humans can't parse every rune combination, so they need 'perception' and 'Tuning' these two capabilities."

Gao Wen said, staring at the silver-haired girl in front of her eyes: "Look up and tell me the truth - how can you know where each rune should be placed, without the way to sense and adjust? What effect does each rune have?"

Probably Gao Wen’s tone was so serious that Jenny couldn’t help but scream, and even more dare to speak. Heti saw the role of Gao Wen’s own, a strict and wide, and then opened the way with a soft tone. "You don't have to be nervous. It's not a tightly ruled king, it's not a dull and old-fashioned secret society. We welcome and encourage everything that can play a role in the construction of the territory, even if it is deviant."

Jenny finally raised her head and looked in the direction of Gao Wen, while the latter nodded slightly with a serious expression: "I can assure you that creative ideas are protected here because I am on this land. legal."

“It’s not a creative idea,” the silver-haired girl from Wangdu who became a fourth-grade runwright as an apprentice. She finally loosened. She whispered and then got up and took a very thick big from her bed. Book, "This is logic and calculation."

Gao Wen put his hand on the book, but still asked: "Can I see it?"

"Of course, you are the lord."

Gao Wen opened this big book that looked quite old and found that it was actually a handwritten note. The yellowed pages were filled with runes, numbers and calculations, legends, and some handwritings were even It was a little fuzzy when worn out. He flipped it over and over, and found that the pen in the whole note was still different: there were at least four different handwritings appearing in the pages of the book, and they appeared in order from the beginning to the following: Obviously, this note has been replaced by at least four owners, and each owner has left his own record on it.

This book seems to confirm the faint speculation before Gao Wen. He almost flipped the pages with excitement and excitement, so that Jenny, who was sitting opposite, began to worry about whether this valuable note would be This rude flipping was damaged, and in this quick flip, Gao Wen’s line of sight was suddenly drawn by a piece of paper attached to the second half of the note.

This piece of paper is pasted between the pages of the note. It seems to be an extra comment or summary. The above text makes Gao Wen breathe a breath:

The energy level of all secondary runes and the energy level of the higher-level runes are always one to three. If the secondary runes are consecutively connected, they are treated as a complete higher-level rune;

The maximum number of connections between any rune and the same-level homologous rune is no more than eight, and the maximum number of homographs of the same-class homonym is no more than four;

Any rune forms a "knot" with the start character and the end character. The join field that can be filled in each "knot" rune must be an even number. Each two connected fields are counted as a "pair", and the field is set to "right". For x, the energy level produced by each "knot" rune is (x+1) squared;

In a magic interference region, the two structures are identical and the adjacent rune knots are set to an "interference junction", and the total interference value generated in the region increases sharply as the number of interference nodes increases. The interference value of a single interference junction is constant t=1.35, and the number of interference junctions is n, then the actual total interference value is m=t*n3. (Note: Try to avoid the adjacent structure of the rune knots can greatly reduce the generation of interference knots).

The magic material is “zero” in terms of copper, and is considered negative in the weaker than the copper. It is considered positive when it is better than or equal to the copper. The theoretical interference value that can be withstood when the rune is connected on the positive guiding material is m. The number of texts is set to n, the number of rune attributes is set to z, and the interference value generated by the interference knot is constant t. The theoretical interference value of the rune group that is within the range of the magic material is m=(n +z*n)*t, the negative magic material is the interference value divided by the constant e=1.66......

In any case, ensure that the actual interference value m is less than or equal to the theoretical interference value m...

In the compound magic array, the calculation formula of "self-interference" generated inside the rune knot is...

In the compound magic array, the best arrangement of each rune should follow...

There are more records later.

A large number of formulas, laws, and logics are almost filled with this attachment, and many can be seen on the pages after the attachment. Gao Wen judged at a glance that this is a summary and derivation of practical value.

However, they still seem to be not the final result, and still have some limitations of this era: many summaries are purely empirical products, and there are still no clear formulas, and many formulas are too messy, yet simplified and merged into More general style, and all these things are not organized according to a system, but loosely and independently stacked here, there is no rule.

But they are already shocking things.

"These are you summed up?" Gao Wen almost squinted and screamed.

“No, no...” Jenny replied in a panic. “Not all, this part of the note is written by me, and the rest is... the legacy of the predecessors.”

Speaking of the words "the legacy of the predecessors", her face has a clear gray and sad look.

"Well... yes, there are at least four handwritings on it," Gao Wen looked down at the notebook, then flipped over and suddenly found that the fonts at the very beginning were faintly familiar. After careful identification, he turned his head. Look at Hetty, "Would you take that note? The wild master."

The notes of the Wild Master are a gem in Gao Wen’s opinion, but the most precious thing is the knowledge recorded in it, not the notebook itself, so he copied the notes and kept a copy of the copy, but The original was given as a gift to Herti, who is passionate about magic research.

Herti nodded. "With me, I have been studying the discussion of the universal rune group in these two days..."

As she spoke, she took the old note out of her arms, and Gao Wen put it on the table and compared it with the notebook from Jenny's hand. Sure enough, the former quarter of the latter The handwriting of the points is exactly the same as that of the wild mage!

This thick and old note is actually one of the relics of the Wild Master? And his relics are still circulating in the circle of wizards, and have been studied and continued by at least three latecomers?

"You are..." Jenny also saw the notebook that Herti had pulled out. She subconsciously spoke. "Do you know its owner?"

“I have seen it before,” Gao Wen said casually, pointing to Jenny’s notebook with a rune calculation formula. “Since you have this in your hand, prove that you have seen him too?”

"Unfortunately, I have been transferred three times when I got this note," Jenny shook her head. "Have you seen him? Where is he now? Is it also in this camp?"

The expression on the face of the rune teacher was a bit revered and excited, but Gao Wen had to disappoint her: "He is dead, my notebook is his only relic. Of course, now you have to add this hand. ""

Jenny opened her mouth and eventually turned into a sigh: "Is it like this..."

"You said that this note has been changed three times, then what about the former owners?" Gao Wen did not give Jenny too much immersion in the time of emotion, he followed closely, "Those who advance the research on the notes." They are still in the king or secret society? Can you contact them?"

"They...and they are dead," Jenny's tone suddenly became very low. "The second owner died in an adventure, and its third master, the master before me, was with me. Mr. Ravenkes, who studied the runes together, died in a mission arranged by the instructor—the constant e=1.66 is his legacy.”
