Chapter 108 Runes and Formulas

Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Sword of Dawn" at any time...

Drawing arrays and characters is a kind of work with high technical content. As a unique product in this world, it is not just a simple "painting" as many people imagine - although it is simply drawn according to the original picture. It's really simple, but to become a talisman, you can't just learn to draw.

If you simply draw the magic circle according to the drawings, then ordinary people can do it, even civilians who cannot sense magic power at all, as long as you tell them how to draw and what to use, they can draw the magic circle. It's a simple "produce and copy" job.

But in addition to this kind of production and reproduction, the talisman must also have the ability to create and adapt: ​​they need to help the mages make magic props, or draw the magic circle on various complex magic materials, and each magic prop or guide The properties of magic materials are different, and there are countless changes in combination, which is doomed that they cannot draw the magic circle completely according to the drawings in the book - they must change the magic circle according to the different carrier materials and the use of the magic circle. The arrangement rules of the characters in the array, or fine-tune the position and connection method of each character.

In a nutshell, what talismans create is a "blueprint", and every time they draw, they are drawing the original mother, and they are creating.

And this process must use the ability to perceive magic, as well as the ability to "tune" the talisman.

The former can determine whether each talisman can function normally in the process of drawing the blueprint, and whether there is interference between the perceptual talismans exceeding the threshold, while the latter is the skill of injecting one's own magic into the talisman for actual testing - although the talisman teacher often does not have it. The ability to drive the entire array, but it is still possible to test local symbols.

To achieve these two points, you must become at least a first-level official mage. It is absolutely impossible for mage apprentices to do this, because mage apprentices do not have the ability to sense and control multiple symbols at the same time, and their magic power cannot be precisely controlled. , exporting to the outside world, if it is done...they graduated.

And Jenny's information clearly states that she is a mage apprentice.

This time, Jenny heard Gao's question clearly, but she didn't know how to answer it. After hesitating and weighing it for a long time, she chose to lower her head and whisper, "It's luck, my lord."

"Luck?" Gao raised his eyebrows in disapproval.

"Yes, luck," Jenny still lowered her head, "My intuition is very good, I can always find the correct way to arrange the symbols, you should know that there are certain rules for the arrangement of symbols, as long as you have enough experience, and then With enough intuition, you can accurately rank those..."

"If it was just luck, you would have died in an accident before you accumulated enough experience," Gao interrupted the other party directly,

"Although I am a knight, I also understand the basic principles of magic - for a magic circle, the position and connection method of each talisman are quite strict, unless you have an insight into the laws of all talismans in the world and their The combination method, otherwise you can't arrange each of them in place. There are indeed rules for the arrangement of symbols, but I have never heard of anyone who has analyzed the arrangement of all symbols, and it is precisely because humans cannot Every combination of symbols is parsed out, so the two abilities of 'perception' and 'tuned' are needed."

Gao said, staring at the silver-haired girl in front of him: "Raise your head and tell me the truth-how do you know where each talisman should be placed, and each What effect will the talisman have?"

Probably because Gao's tone was so serious that Jenny couldn't help shivering, and she didn't dare to speak. Seeing this, Heidi remembered the strict and wide role that Gao had told her before, so she said in a soft tone: " You don’t have to be nervous, this is not a royal capital with strict rules, nor is it a dull and old-fashioned secret law meeting, we welcome and encourage all behaviors that can contribute to the construction of the territory, even if such behaviors are deviant.”

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

"It's not a creative idea," the silver-haired girl from the capital who became a fourth-level talisman as an apprentice finally loosened up. She spoke softly, then got up and took a very heavy book from her bedside. The Big Book, "It's Logic and Computation."

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

"Of course, you are the lord."

Gao opened the book, which looked quite old, and found that it was actually a handwritten note. The yellowed and curled pages were filled with symbols, numbers and formulas, legends, and some of the handwriting even appeared to be worn out. It was a little vague, he flipped through it at will, and found that the writing in the entire notebook was still different: there were at least four different handwritings appearing on the pages, and they appeared in order from front to back: Obviously, This notebook has changed owners at least four times, and each owner has left his own records on it.

This book seemed to confirm Gao's vague guesses. He turned the pages with excitement and excitement, so much so that Jenny, who was sitting across from him, began to worry about whether this precious note would be affected by this. He was damaged by rough flipping, and while flipping through the pages quickly, Gao’s eyes were suddenly drawn to a piece of paper sandwiched between the second half of the note.

This piece of paper was glued between the note pages and seemed to be an extra note or summary, and the words on it made Gao Breath suffocate:

The energy levels of all secondary symbols and the energy level ratio of the higher-level symbols are always one or three. If the secondary symbols are continuously connected, every three is added to one, which is regarded as a complete higher-level symbol;

The maximum number of connections between any character and the same level and different attributes is not more than eight, and the maximum number of connections with the same level and the same attribute is not more than four;

Any character forms a "knot" with the start character and the end character. The number of connection fields that can be filled in each "knot" character must be an even number. Every two connection fields are counted as a "pair", and the number of "pairs" in this field is x. , then the energy level generated by each "knot" symbol is (x+1) squared;

In a magic interference area, two adjacent symbols with the same structure are set as a "interference knot", and the total interference value generated in the area increases dramatically with the increase of the number of interference knots. The interference value of a single interference node is constant t=1.35, and the number of interference nodes is n, then the actual total interference value m=t*n3. (Note: Trying to avoid the adjacent symbol knots with the same structure can greatly reduce the generation of interference knots).

The magic guide material takes copper as the "zero" level. Those weaker than copper are regarded as negative, and those that are better than or equal to copper are regarded as positive. The theoretical interference value that positive magic materials can withstand when connected with symbols is set to m, and the number of symbol knots is set as m. If set to n, the number of symbol attributes is set to z, and the interference value generated by the interference knot is constant t, then the theoretical interference value that the entire symbol group within the range of the magic guide material can withstand is m=(n+z*n) *t, for negative magic materials, the interference value is divided by the constant e=1.66...

In any case, it should be ensured that the actual interference value m is less than or equal to the theoretical interference value m...

The formula for calculating the "self-interference" generated in the complex magic circle is...

For compound magic circles, the best arrangement of each charm should follow...

There are more records to follow.

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

It's just that they still don't seem to be the final result, and they still have some limitations of this era: many summaries are purely empirical products, and there is no clear formula, and many formulas are too messy and have not been simplified and merged into one. A more general formula, and all these things are not organized according to a system, but are piled up here loosely and independently, without any order.

But they are already shocking things.

"These are what you summed up?" Gao almost exclaimed with his eyes wide open.

"No, no..." Jenny replied with some panic, "Not all, only part of this notebook is written by me, and the rest is... the legacy of the predecessors."

When it comes to the words "legacy of the predecessors", her face has an obvious gloomy and sad look.

"Well... yes, there are at least four kinds of handwriting on this side," he glanced down at the notebook, then turned over and suddenly found that the fonts at the beginning of it were vaguely familiar. After identifying it carefully, he turned to look Xiang Heidi, "Did you bring that notebook with you? The wild mage's one."

The wild mage's notebook is a treasure in Gao's view, but the most precious thing in it is the knowledge recorded in it, not the notebook itself, so he copied a copy of the notebook and kept the copied copy for himself, but kept the original copy. As a gift to Heidi, who is keen on magic research.

Hetty nodded: "Take it, I happened to be studying the discussion on the universal character group in it for the past two days..."

As she spoke, she took the old notebook out of her pocket, spread it on the table, and compared it with the notebook from Jenny's hand - as expected, the front quarter of the latter The handwriting is exactly the same as that of the wild mage!

This thick and old notebook is actually one of the wild mage's relics? And his relic is still circulating in the circle of mages, and has been studied and continued by at least three latecomers?

"You are..." Jenny also saw the notebook Hetty took out, and she said subconsciously, "Do you know its owner?"

"I've seen it before," Gao said casually, and pointed to Jenny's notebook with the calculation formula. "Since you have this in your hand, it proves that you have seen him too?"

"Unfortunately, when I got this notebook, it had already been changed hands three times," Jenny shook her head. "Have you seen him? Where is he now? Is he in this camp?"

The expression on Master Fu's face was filled with reverence and excitement, but Gao had to let her down: "He is already dead, and the notebook I have is the only relic of him. Of course, now I have to add the one you have."

Jenny opened her mouth, but in the end it turned into a sigh: "Is that so..."

"You said this notebook has been changed hands three times, so what about its previous owners?" Gao didn't give Jenny too much time to immerse himself in emotion, he followed closely and asked, "Those who advance the study of the notebook, they Are you still in the royal capital or the Secret Law Society? Can you contact them?"

"They... died too," Jenny's tone suddenly became low Mr. Laches, who studied talismans, died on a mission arranged by his mentor - the constant e=1.66 is his legacy."
