Chapter 1259: Krypton Gold or Krypton Life
"Can you tell me how to solve the problem of rune enchantment losing vitality?"
This question made Imrick shake his head and said bluntly: "Espeth, as a mentor of Amethyst Academy, you should have studied the differences between elves and dwarves runes... Can't you see the difference?"
"I can't see it." Elspeth just wanted to get an accurate answer from the Phoenix King, not some unfounded speculation.
"Well... It seems that I, a magic idiot, have to teach you a lesson. Although Juan's actions can be regarded as treason, who makes this world have to make many compromises?"
After considering the records of rune magic, Imrick was not ready to reveal some important things. The people of Wisen Territory have been thinking about it for so long and still have no substantial progress, which means that Juan's manuscript may be an entry-level reading... Maybe everyone in Val Anvil has a copy, and it is a terrible thing with sulfur smell that is not worth wiping your butt.
"The essence of rune enchantment lies in the use of the wind of magic. Objects are different from living things. A qualified wizard can adjust the use of the wind of magic through various means to avoid overload and backlash.
But the objects attached to the runes are dead objects, and the flow of the wind of magic must be kept within a controllable range... But this is a paradox in itself. The empire should also understand that the wind of magic is mixed with chaotic energy. How to turn uncontrollable chaotic energy into a benign effect is a technical problem.
Let's talk about the dwarves who are traditionally forging rune weapons... Dwarves naturally have a strong aversion to magic, which can effectively suppress the activity of chaotic energy, and rune blacksmiths strictly abide by the Vala The rune engraving rules passed down by Ya, but what really allows them to use runes as a pride is the rune anvil forged by Granni himself.
You can clearly see that the dwarven runes are highly reliable and very practical, but they are inferior to the elves in many aspects... But we have not obtained such technology without a price.
The traditional rune forging process of Caledor requires the priest to blind his eyes to prevent his sharp vision from being eroded by chaotic energy, and to rely on his tongue to sense the temperature of the furnace... But there are still some problems in it, how to engrave the runes on the objects. "
Espeth lowered her head, she was finally sure that although the things left by Juan were useful, they were by no means a good thing.
"Life force."
Imrick snapped his fingers and agreed with the Amethyst Mage.
"Yes, vitality. Only the purest blooming life can make weapons show their brilliance. The life span of the Vaal priests is far lower than the average level of the Asur. Even the elves have to pay such a price. If humans want to explore the way of runes through this path... it is not an easy thing."
One is to pay gold and inherit the runes by relying on the serious nature and strong magic-averse physique. The other is to pay life and forcibly use vitality to forge magic weapons. No matter which one, Elspeth cannot go on.
The eyes of the Amethyst Mage began to flicker. He thought that since the Phoenix King was willing to tell these things instead of secretly studying the runes with the Wisen Territory to accuse him, he obviously wanted to do something.
"Excuse me for being blunt. Wisen Territory is planning to build an elite magic-armed force with Amethyst Academy as the core. It is difficult for mortals to coexist with the wind of Shaxu. Priest Juan may be able to solve this problem for us.
I wonder if the Phoenix King can..." Elspeth considered his words: "Considering past favors, provide some help to Wisen Territory and the Liebovitz family."
"So after you secretly learned Caledor's technology, you still want to ask the original owner for after-sales service?" Imrick laughed sarcastically. This was indeed not a decent thing to do. You can definitely charge Juan with treason and then ask Wisen Territory for a large amount of compensation.
As if she guessed what the Phoenix King was going to say, Countess Emmanuelle hurriedly said.
"We can provide compensation..."
"Okay, let's put the compensation aside for now... I'm with you." Pointing to the Amethyst Mage on the other side of the mirror, Imrick supported his chin with his hand, looking very playful.
"Teacher Elspeth, I'm very interested. If you want my support, bring your scarlet dragon and the rune data researched by Wissen Territory to the Gray Mountains. I will consider your suggestion and send a priest who is no less powerful than Juan to provide important help to Wissen Territory."
"Your Majesty, the scarlet dragon is not a zombie dragon, and Elspeth has nothing to do with undead magic."
The Countess emphasized, making Imrick almost roll his eyes to express his helplessness.
"Countess, I have studied dragons far more than everyone in the empire combined. You don't need to remind me what the scarlet dragon is... But seeing such a rare dragon, I really want to meet it."
Elspeth and Emmanuel looked at each other and thought that this trip was indeed worth going. While perfunctorily fulfilling Marshal Kurt's order, they could also ask the Phoenix King for food, which was the best of both worlds.
The time when Elspeth appeared at the edge of the Gray Mountains was far beyond Imrick's expectations. In just a few hours, the Amethyst Mage who was still in Nuln City had appeared in front of him with the Crimson Dragon.
What made the elves happy was that the Crimson Dragon had slid down to the ground and lowered its altitude when it was far away, and came to the right place instead of stepping over the head of the Phoenix King to show its power.
Even as a dragon lord, Imrick saw the extremely rare Crimson Dragon for the first time. As in the rumors, this dark red and purple giant beast exuded a mysterious glow, and the crown-like horns on its head looked like white bones standing upside down, which looked charming and ferocious from a distance.
The scarlet dragon lowered its head in an instant to show respect after seeing the elf who looked like an ant.
"Salute you, the dragon lord of the ancient volcanic kingdom, the incarnation of our ancestors..."
"Similarly, salute you, the rare dragon in the world... It is my honor to see a tribe affected by the wind of Shaxu still exist in the world."
The scarlet dragon lowered its head even lower. After Imrick said this, the flame knights beside him touched their chests to show respect to the noble creature.
It does not belong to the fire dragon tribe, but it is still a noble creature.
After greeting each other, Imrick completely left the purple crystal wizard aside and asked the scarlet dragon a question.
"Is she the ally you chose?"
"Yes, she guards the world of the dead and calms the restless Shaxu Wind..."
After a brief exchange, Imrik understood the Scarlet Dragon's thoughts. The Dragon Lord comforted the dragon. Isn't this what he should do? Although he initially wanted to trick her away, after thinking carefully, the elves didn't face many undead chaos, so he decided to let the two Shaxu Winds stay together. (End of this chapter)
