Chapter 37 Mosaic
After Shaoke returned to his residence, he realized that he had forgotten to write a letter to the Imperial Capital Military Department to explain his current situation. So he quickly called on the two tasks that brought him goods and said, "You are here to wait in the house, I need your help in some things."
"Yes... it's Master, I... let's wait outside!" One of the worker lowered his head nervously and stood outside the door uneasy: "It's not too cold outside, just wait outside."
Shaoke knew that they were embarrassed, so he stopped forcing it. So he went back to his house to find a special letter paper distributed by the military headquarters when he came here to write down his successful promotion a few days ago.
The two businessmen sent by the merchants were talking softly outside. When Shaoke came out, they quickly stopped talking, carefully took the small wooden box where Shaoke had put up the letter, and said goodbye to Shaoke, and promised that they would hand it over to the military personnel in the town as quickly as possible.
Although Shaoke was not afraid of their oaths, in order to prevent them from opening the box, he told them: "Don't open the box, there are spell protections inside." In fact, Shaoke didn't say that, and the two tricks did not dare to check the mage's items casually. Everyone knew that mage's things were not something that ordinary people could touch.
After seeing off the two guys, Shaoke began to prepare materials for inlaid magic circles, bottles of monster blood, bags of gem powder... Dozens of magic materials were mixed in pottery vessels. Shaoke carefully observed the reflection of these materials in order to promptly find that the materials were insufficient and easy to supplement. After all, it was the first time that these materials were configured. Shaoke didn't know that the amount of his material was not sufficient or small, and this time the liquid was scrapped. Fortunately, there was no conflict among these materials, so the impact was not great.
After wasting so much materials all at once, Shaoke felt really distressed. Fortunately, with the recommendation of the merchant, these materials were sufficient, enough for him to squander twice. Shaoke carefully recalled the process just now, and then prepared the materials again.
This time, Shaoke carefully weighed the materials enough and arranged them in order before they started to configure them. Fortunately, it did not fail this time. After the mixed magic materials were reflected like the chemical reactions of the previous life, half the basin of the liquid slowly solidified, and finally formed a black ointment the size of a fist. Fortunately, it was a low-level inlay formula, so Shaoke was still easy to master.
After adding a few drops of dilution, Shaoke began to carve inlaid magic circles on the obsidian stone slab that had been prepared. Although the obsidian was very hard, it was carved after spending half a magic time under the sharp special carving knife. This is because Shaoke had already practiced on ordinary stone slabs many times.
The ointment was carefully applied to the magic circle on the stone slab, and finally placed the drawing and the new cloak in the center of the magic circle; chanting spells softly, and vaguely visible handprints floated on the magic circle from the sealed hands, slowly promoting the operation of the magic circle.
The magic drawings and cloak slowly floated over the magic array under the power of magic. From time to time, some handprints floated on them. The drawings slowly changed under the action of the handprints. The carrier made of the animal skin disappeared bit by bit, leaving only the magic array that had condensed into crystals floating. Under the pull of the handprints, the magic array that had become crystals slowly merged into the cloak. Shaoke couldn't help but increase the output of magic and mental power, and continued to increase until the maximum value that the handprint could withstand was maintained.
As the special handprints and spells of the inlaid magic circle were finished, the entire cloak fell on the stone slab that had been scrapped due to the loss of energy. Shaoke quickly stepped up and picked up the cloak.
The tentacles first felt a slight chill, and then disappeared. A faint white mist began to slowly escape from the cloak. However, Shaoke found that they did not leave the cloak too far, and they went back only one foot away. After seeing this situation, Shaoke confirmed that this inlay was successful, otherwise he would have to spend a lot of time making new spell drawings.
The next day, after Shaoke had breakfast, he was reciting and memorizing the first-level magic he had just learned, Master Yijia came over alone.
"Master Xueye, I'm disturbing your homework." After Master Yijia, who looked a little unnatural, respectfully performed the formal mage etiquette, he stood aside and stopped moving. Looking at Shaoke who was covered in a faint white mist, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't expect that Shaoke would be promoted to a formal magician so quickly. Even the two senior brothers who had just left were nearly a year slower than Shaoke! This happened without the assistance of medicine. Could it be that hard work can change too many talents?
"Master Yijia, welcome your visit and come to the house with me! Don't say anything about adults or not. We are companions now, and there are no outsiders." Shaoko cage felt good in the cloak, at least so that others could not see his expression, which made him feel a little more comfortable, and it also added some mystery and help when casting!
After the guest and the guest took the seat, Shaoke asked about Master Yijia's purpose for this visit. Master Yijia replied: "Master Xueye, first of all, congratulations on your promotion to a formal magician so quickly and entering the palace of magic. This is nearly a year faster than many mages! Even some disciples of aristocratic families cannot be promoted in this grade."
"Master Yijia, you are polite. As far as I know, there are many people who have been promoted to formal magicians in their teens, and even several of them appeared in the academy where I am! Besides, my promotion array is too ordinary and simple." Shaoke said a little lowly. He couldn't understand why those time traveling predecessors could create martial arts by themselves by their own origins. They were less than ten years old and could kill the saints and gods when they first became an adult. But how could they be like this when they were? If it weren't for the Blue Feather Empire where they were, they paid great attention to magic, so that every newborn child would be free to undergo qualification tests after the age of five, they would probably have accomplished nothing in this other world in their lifetime.
"Master Xueye, you are too modest. Have you sent a letter to the Emperor** Department to report this matter? I guess when will I reply?" Master Yijia asked in a low voice.
"I just sent it out yesterday. By the way, how did you know I was promoted? I originally wanted to tell you, but I was busy stabilizing my state." Shaoke actually did not intend to notify them. He felt that it was really unnecessary, but he could not tell the other party openly, so he dealt with the other party casually.
"Master Xueye, you walked in the town once yesterday. Now the people in the town are still talking about your eyes! The soldiers told me about this." Master Yijia told Shaoke a little embarrassedly how to get the information. After all, he did not live in the town, and it was difficult to find a reason even if he cheated.
"Oh!" Shaoke actually didn't care. He mainly didn't know what he was talking about with the other party, so he just asked casually.
After a while of silence, Master Yijia looked at Shaoke, who was covered with white mist, and hesitated: "Master Xueye, I...I...I wonder if you can help me in the next patrol mission and go with me? I'm a little worried that I can't handle it myself." After Master Yijia said this request, he lowered his head embarrassedly, and his golden long hair covered his face, but Shaoke still saw that Master Yijia was even red in his neck.
"Master Yijia, I still need to be familiar with this new realm as soon as possible. There is not enough time. You do it yourself, just like your senior brothers at the time. I believe you will soon hear the news of your promotion. In fact, these monsters are not dangerous. As long as you don't go too deep, it will be fine." After a while, Shaoke decisively rejected the other party's request. He did not want to waste any time in magic practice, because he had wasted too much time when he was just studying, and he needs to make up for it now.
After hearing Shaoko's rejection, although Master Yijia was a little reluctant, he was not beyond his expectations. After all, he was ready to be rejected when he came.
After chatting with Shaoke for a while, Master Yijia and Shaoke offered to say goodbye, but Shaoke did not try to keep him because he had to do a lot of homework. The most important thing was to be familiar with the newly formed magic space and spiritual space.
After Master Yijia left, Shaoke carefully copied the process of the magic array inlay and some understandings of yesterday on his magic record. It turned out that it was too late to inlay the magic array yesterday, and Shaoke, who was eager to restore his magic power, was immersed in the newly formed space and forgot his work, so the copying work had to be put today.
After writing the inlayed magic array record, Shaoke began to silently observe the newly formed rhombus magic array in the spiritual space. The three-fold expansion of the spiritual space made Shaoke feel very comfortable. A large number of spiritual light spots filled it. The magic array in the center slowly rotated, and each turn it purified the mental power in the magic array. Although the effect was only about half of the normal meditation, it cannot be ignored if it accumulates for a long time. After all, I have not heard of that mage who is able to meditate while working or casting spells, and even those who are advanced or advanced cannot do this.
The expansion of the spiritual space has not yet made Shaoke unable to replenish enough mental power. After all, the growth of mental power is not so easy, and it is even several times more difficult to purify the mental power in the later stage. The same is true for the magic space. Although the magic space is small, Shaoke's current energy is still mainly focused on mental power, and he just lets the magic power be purified slowly.
――――――――――――Those who have free space should be collected!
