Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 77: The Second Diary

Sometimes time passes slowly, but sometimes it feels fast. People often suddenly find out, eh, how come it's been so many days, I haven't done anything planned...

Claude did the same, and the last two months of foot injuries made him feel alive and well, and anyone with a plaster mold on their left foot who couldn't land would feel the same way. Life inconvenience doesn't have to say much. Claude can't stand the smell of being unable to take a bath on himself. Not to mention, it's summer and he sweats a lot. He can only spend a lot of time each day wiping his body slowly with a large piece of linen towel...

Four more trips to the pharmacy, first once every three days, then once every other week, every time the old pharmacist grabbed me and bled me. The pain of bleeding was not spared until the last time, the old man said the bleeding was gone and he could jump alive for another month. It's just that the joint bone on the left ankle just recovered and needs careful care. If you can't land, don't land. If you can lie down, don't get up and walk...

So Claude was very good at reading and writing in his little attic during the injury. Even on September 10th, when the earth goddess's harvest was celebrated, he stayed in the attic and watched a group of people marching and celebrating in a flower trailer cross the street in front of the door, instead of rushing into the bustle.

Not only did Claude take care of his injuries at home alone, but his three partners changed dramatically. Verricolo is the least changeable, just getting more silent, but he's still a phishing maniac, taking his rods and barrels with him to the lake to find a place to fish, instead of asking his friends to go fishing with him, as they used to do.

Erickson was busy fixing his boat, and he didn't ask his partners to help him this time, he was busy himself. Bought a boat board the size and thickness of the same wave from the yard, dried it over the pier, then removed those broken boat boards from the small fishing boat, and at Uncle Pegg's fingertips a man did the repair work silently. It took more than a month for the small fishing boat to go into the water again, but this time Ericsson stopped saying where to go for a walk, and he rode the small fishing boat on Lake Beringa for more than an hour.

Perhaps the biggest change in the most biologically exasperated Boc Al was the excitement that the Niros crocodile auction would bring him, deeply embarrassing him. For this, he divided the four gold crowns that Sir Fox had bought from crocodiles, one each, and then he alone covered the cost of Ericsson's boat board and the remaining three polysilver towers repaired piecemeal, as well as Claude's pharmacy treatment for nearly two silver towers.

In fact, the Golden Krone that broke him up with was spent in these places, and even if it was said that the four of them shared him together, he would not agree. Because doing so would make him feel more comfortable, because he made mistakes that cost his partners more, and he would have to spend his share of the money to make up for some of his guilt, otherwise he would have no face to be with them anymore.

Partners would have liked to compensate Bok Al for the proceeds of a polysilver tall sale and catch, but Bok Al was resolute in incorporating the money into the public funds of the four partners. From this point of view, despite Bok Al's tremendous performance in the face of the Niros crocodile, he is financially distinguished from the public and private sectors and still enjoys the trust of his partners as a financier.

What made Claude wonder was that after he injured his foot at home, his three partners seemed to have lost interest in going out. Apart from going to school every day, the three of us don't usually hang out much. Previously, every Sunday, Bok Al and Eriksson thought about where everyone was going to play, but now it's time for each family to go back to their own business. Even if the Festival of the Mother Earth is a legal holiday in the kingdom, for three consecutive days off, Bok Al and Eriksson didn't make a scene where the three of them went to play, they just followed the parade for half a day in White Deer Town...

Verricolo answered Claude's question privately, and he thought Bok Al and Eriksson should have been frightened by the Niles crocodile incident, knowing how many pounds they had. Previously it was young and unknown how thick the heavens and the earth were, and it was only at this juncture of life and death that I realized that I was nothing. If it wasn't for Claude's last shot, the two of them would be equally inevitable to be torn apart by the crocodile.

Don't watch the two of them come back and show off in front of their classmates and become one of the four warriors of alligators, but privately their hearts are empty too. Eucalyptus adventured Claude to kill the python. They didn't see it. It didn't matter. They thought he could do it. But it was only in the face of the Naniros crocodile that he discovered his fragility, and it was Verricolo and Claude who really had to rely on him at this critical juncture. So now that Claude's at home, they're killing themselves and daring not venture out with the three of them.

Claude laughed, but it was a good thing his partner became steady. In addition to staying home for the rest of the morning at school, he turned both of Master Landers's diaries into a rotten familiarity. Learn more about magic and understand a lot of questions. For example, the Landers magician said that it took him only three months to light up the six stars in the meditative spiritual space and promote them to a first-degree scribe. Why not a circle scribe?

Claude remembers in the diary of the magic recipe that Master Landers said he was a four-ring magician specializing in alchemy and scribbling magic arrays. Unlike his five-ring combat magician, Brother Davary, he has little combat experience. But the first diary says that it took only three months for the Landmaster to be promoted to a first-degree scribe during his apprenticeship, so what's the difference between a first-degree scribe and a one-ring scribe?

It wasn't until Claude began to read the second book of the Lenders Mage's diary that it became clear that the first-degree grammar was not yet a cyclical grammar, that the first-degree grammar only possessed the magic that he could call, but had not learned how to perform magic, that is, the first-degree grammar was just a magician who could not do magic.

To be promoted to a circle of Symbolists, a first-degree Symbolist must draw a magical syllabus structure in the meditative spiritual space and engrave it in the interior space of the Six-Mountain Star. And the six stars are divided into six small seven interior spaces, the hexagon in the middle and the six triangles next to it. These seven interior spaces can be engraved with seven magic character arrays, and once engraved, the first degree of character magician is officially a circular character magician who can invoke his own magic to apply seven spells through the seven magic character arrays.

The seven magic spells engraved in the interior space of the Six-Mountain Star are called a Lord Six Components, and are also the seven basic spells that a circular grammar must master. It is not that a loop magician can only apply these seven basic spells. He can do other magic by temporarily structuring another magic array, but his own magic and time spent will far exceed the cost of releasing these seven basic spells.

The Landers magician also did a very digitized metaphor for this in his diary, and he set a circle of the magic magician's own magic at 100, so that the magic consumed one to two when he applied the spell that drew the hexagonal magic array in the middle of the hexagonal star, known as the main magic. And when you apply the magic spells of the six triangles next to you, it consumes three to five magic.

And if other magic is applied, the magic character array structure of that spell must be matched with hand prints and spells, and the caller's own magic consumption must be at least a dozen to twenty or more. In fact, the magic effect of this spell is not greater than the seven basic spells. Maintaining this temporary spell array consumes most of the magic before the spell is applied...

So for a first-degree grammar, engraving seven basic spells on the six stars of the meditative spiritual space is crucial. Of course, a first-order scribe can only choose to engrave seven zero scripts. If you want to engrave a first-order script, you can't engrave it. That's something you need to consider when promoting a second-round scribe.

In his diary, Master Landers wrote that, in the early and mid-magical civilization era, there were said to be nearly a thousand zero-level spells. At that time, zero-level spells were categorized into various attributes and magic, and their magical effects were greater than those of today's zero-level spells. But in the late stages of magic civilization, with the scarcity of magic resource materials, many zero-level spells, which are delivered with the help of external forces and magic materials, began to be eliminated and integrated. By now, in addition to the zero-level spells that can invoke their own magic exertion, some of the zero-level spells that consume more powerful magic effects have also been abandoned.

Claude fully understands that, like the automotive industry of previous generations, before he crossed, the standard for a good car was emission reduction, fuel saving, powerful power, stylish and functional. Of course, those millions or more of luxury branded luxury cars may not need these standards, because it would have been forced on buyers...

Today, the magic resources of the Farsian world are increasingly scarce, and hundreds of years ago those very ordinary magic materials are now rare treasures. To date, there are only two paths left in the magical world that were filled with flowers. The literature is a scripture magician, focusing mainly on alchemy, to study how to maintain magical efficacy without saving or consuming magical resources. The martial arts are battle magicians, the basic force of the magician ruling the entire Faslan world, except that their path to higher levels of martial arts has been cut off by those so-called silver magic aristocrats...

As a first-degree scribe, the seven basic spells that Master Landers printed at the time of his promotion were supposed to be all alchemy-related spells. But one of the last things he regretted in his diary was that he shouldn't have listened to Brother Davary's advice and replaced one of the basic alchemy aids with a battle-aided spell, which took up an interior space of the Six Mans in white, and which he didn't have a chance to use in his daily life...

At that time, Brother Davary advised Master Landers that he should be able to defend himself even as a magician based on alchemy and the study of symbolic magic arrays. Don't be as peaceful and harmonious as life imagined in the Magic Tower. In fact, it is not uncommon for a charade to be fought between a scribe and a scribe. Brother Davari has seen the failure of several Symbolists to compete, so it is best for Master Landers to engrave a battle-aided spell without needing to use it, as long as the other Symbolists know, they can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Although Master Landers said at the beginning of the second diary that he regretted occupying the interior space spell position of a six-mang star with a battle-aided spell, he thanked Brother Davary very much for his pointers and help in the latter diary. Because it is unlikely that another Syntax Master will have the chance to learn a combat assistant spell, and after one unintentional use of this combat spell, those provocations and irrational summonses against him are much less common among the Syntax Master of the Magic Tower, and his contemporaries of magic apprentices are often bullied in their daily lives...

Claude fully understands what Master Landers said in his diary, which is perfectly normal. Newcomers are always bullied by the elderly, not only by the magic tower in the diary, but also by the work of previous generations.

But Brother Dawari's pointer was a wonderful trick, and a magician learned a combat assistant spell, like a guy with a knife added to a group of unarmed people. Then people in the crowd should also consider the consequences of provocation and unreasonable mischief against this guy with a knife. Otherwise, he can only blame himself for not being brainy...
