Chapter thirteen dark magic pattern(1/2)
Everything was as expected by Shuyi, and he successfully showed his strength.
The Kamel family was shocked by Shuyi's strength in alchemy. They even sent an olive branch to Shuyi, hoping that the young alchemist could stay and serve the family.
However, Xiu Yi still politely refused.
He proposed a simple condition that he was willing to sell the family improved formulas of three potions, which reduced the production cost of each potion by an average of two goldwitters, and provided a brand new formula for a fine potion that would bring them at least more than ten goldwitters per bottle.
Of course, the condition is that they must provide him with a batch of expensive and difficult-to-find materials according to the list given by Xiu Yi and add a sum of cash.
Xiuyi needs not much cash, but this batch of materials is worth nearly 7,000 Jinweits. The Kamer family finally agreed to this condition after weighing the pros and cons. In order to ensure that the Kamer family has all the power to the new formula, Xiuyi made a blood oath on the magic scroll: this transaction will be strictly confidential. He will not disclose this to anyone or any family, and will not sell the formula of these four types of potions in any form. At the same time, he will not operate such potions for life and can only be made and used by himself.
Although the God of Vows is lazy and sleeping most of the time, for the Kamel family, such a vow can still be reassured that if this news leaks out, or if Shuyi violates the oath and sells the potion formula to other families, the Kamel family will have the right to pursue him without his identity as a magician, and the Lance Empire will not pursue responsibility and guarantee its legal ownership of the potion formula.
This can be a copyright agreement similar to modern society. What made the Kamel family satisfied was that Xiu Yi even took the initiative to improve all aspects of the agreement to avoid the possibility of exploiting the agreement loopholes, which shows his sincerity.
After all, for the Kammer family, these contents were obtained with great effort. Once stolen, the losses would be heavy.
After the vow was reached, Xiu Yi readily handed over the formula of four potions and tried it on the spot for everyone to show it. The originally arrogant Mr. Daiman had completely convinced him after seeing Xiu Yi's superb skills and the magical formula. If he hadn't had a contract with the Kamel family, he might have left everything and immediately devoted himself to Xiu Yi's school.
The Kamel family delivered all the materials needed by Shuyi to the hotel where he lived, and the transaction was successfully completed.
It didn't take too long to return from the Kamel family to the hotel. When he came back, he found that the entire singing and dancing troupe was waiting there.
Including Clarice.
Everyone heard that Shuyi was taken over by the Kamel family. Although they were stubborn and respectful, this still made everyone's heart beat.
However, when everyone saw Xiuyi coming back in the luxury carriage of the Kamel family, Gary Butler's Housekeeper called him a master.
If the people in the singing and dancing troupe had not realized that this little boy who suddenly appeared in the troupe had anything worth paying attention to, then people no longer think so.
The boy in front of them was filled with awe.
There are not many people who can send a large family to return a luxury carriage and let the housekeeper respectfully treat it.
Back in his room, Xiuyi began to pack up.
He must seize the time to do what he should do.
No one knows when the people from the Law and Political Department will find him. It is always better to prepare for it than to cram the moment.
"Fink." The sweet voices of Dess and Ranti sounded outside.
"Dis, Ranti, I can't answer any of your questions now. I'll go out for a few days and it will take a few days to come back." Xiu Yi replied inside the house.
"You want to leave here?" The two girls outside were panicked. They didn't expect Xiu Yi to leave as soon as he came back.
"...It's just temporary, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"But are you not going to say anything to us? We have something to say to you."
"Not now, wait until I come back." Xiuyi's attitude was very firm.
"Okay Fink, we'll wait for you." The two girls left the room gently, and they could hear that they were disappointed.
Without the disturbance of the girls, Xiuyi hurriedly left the hotel.
He came to a wilderness outside Xiangye City and observed the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one, Xiu Yi released red and green to guard the surroundings.
The next moment, he took out all the collected materials.
In front of him was the book about all the test records of Hines from Pierre's room.
This time he was going to do the experimental magic pattern engraving that he had never had before.
Electramin's magic pattern engraving is essentially a human body magic array.
Magic arrays are necessary helps people use to cast large magic. The lowest-level magic can only be completed by spells. Medium-level magic requires spells and gestures to complete. This is why Xiu Yi needs to use the six-pointed star array when casting Void Slash. Some level or even forbidden spell level magic requires the support of large magic arrays to be completed.
Generally speaking, level seven magic requires a certain degree of mage cooperation.
The level forbidden spell that can be used casually does not exist, otherwise the world will be destroyed.
The magic circle can be said to be a necessary support for human magicians when using magic. Ordinary magicians can use the power of the magic circle to use more powerful magic. As long as people who do not know how to recite spells, they can use the elemental resonance magic circle to temporarily use magic.
However, the arrangement of the magic array requires a large amount of materials, and each use consumes a lot of energy, even some rare materials, so people will not easily use it.
Electra's magic pattern engraving actually evolved on the basis of the magic array. He hopes to use magic by engraving the magic array on the human body. As for the provision of energy, it depends on the human own magic power or vitality.
This is undoubtedly a great change. To burn magic arrays on human skin means that many materials will not be used. You cannot carve energy crystals into your body, and you cannot carve a large amount of materials into your body. You can only do it by creating special potions.
In addition, the magic pattern is smaller and more refined than the traditional magic array, so the requirements are higher.
Therefore, the magic pattern formula that Hines repeatedly tested on the servants was actually looking for what kind of materials to use to make appropriate magic potions to engrave the magic pattern.
There are two steps to complete the magic pattern. One is to find suitable materials to form a formula, so that it can be engraved on the human body and achieve the effect of resonance with external elements. This is why magic pattern engraving allows people who do not know how to magic to release magic. The other is the burning of the array diagram. The magic potion pattern is inserted into the body by burning the array diagram in advance, thus forming a miniature magic array and achieving the specified magic effect.
Therefore, people with magic patterns have the advantage of being free from using gestures and just chanting spells to use magic. This may not be a big deal for a magician, but for a warrior, if he can have some kind of magic that can be used by just chanting spells, his advantage is obvious. His free hands will continue to wield the power of his warrior, causing a terrible blow to the enemy.
For twenty-three years, Hines has been trying to reproduce Electrotri's Ming. He tried to completely replace elemental resonance with a magic pattern, but he always failed. Every time he thought he was going to break through, he finally realized that he could not break through.
Until Xiuyi's appearance.
From the magic dragon Rita, Xiu Yi learned that even if the same series of magic has different requirements for elemental resonance sensing due to different magic, the magic pattern should not be a separate existence, but each magic pattern represents a certain degree of elemental resonance, and each array diagram represents the corresponding magic effect.
Therefore, everyone misunderstood Electra's Ming and believed that he only understood a few magic patterns and replaced all magic elements, but this was not the case.
This approach may not be able to achieve the ability to give humans the talent of this element with a certain magic pattern, but it can enable the other party to have at least a single spell.
And Hines has always taken a wrong path.
Shortly afterwards, Shuyi reminded Hines in a tactful way, pointing out this problem to him, which made Hines wake up.
It was then that his research on magic patterns had significantly accelerated.
After nearly two years of unremitting research, Hines found fourteen recipes that can produce different degrees of elemental resonance. At the same time, based on this, more than twenty magic pattern array diagrams were studied. That is to say, he has not achieved any results in more than twenty years. However, because of a reminder from Xiu Yi, he has more than twenty magic he cannot learn but can use at will.
It has to be said that Hines is still very capable in this regard, but it’s a pity that he does not have the talent of a magician, so many times he cannot see what the magic world is like. No matter how smart ant is, he cannot understand the human world.
Of course, it cannot be said that all his early efforts were in vain. The records left by countless lives and materials were also the basis for Hines's success.
Now, what Shuyi has to do is to engrave a magic array diagram for himself according to the recipe recorded by Hines.
Before that, he had never done it.
"Well!" The severe pain made Shuyi growl unbearably.
The moment the prepared potion entered the skin of the body, the medicinal properties brought strong pain to Xiuyi. He finally understood why the teenagers in the valley made such a shrill and terrifying howls. The pain was like a man-eating insect ants, crazily ate his painful nerves, and even an iron man could not withstand this torment.
He was almost collapsed at that moment. He almost put a piece of cloth on himself to avoid the loud roars that could be alarmed by passers-by.
Hold on!
Xiu Yi widened his eyes, and the tiny needle kept beating on his body, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it, marking strange lines composed of gray-black potions on his chest.
The needle pricked the skin, but strangely did not let out a trace of blood. The gray-black potion stayed there after it penetrated into the skin, giving off a deep light.
A small magic array gradually formed under the beating of the needle, and the originally isolated and messy lines gradually formed a strange mini magic array, firmly solidifying in front of Xiu Yi's chest.
After the last track of the fine needle, he magically automatically left his body and returned to the ground. Xiu Yi lay on the cold ground and gasped, almost losing the strength to sit up. Xiu Yi's face was twisted, and she was sweating profusely as if she had a tendon.
He finally understood why neither Hines nor Andrew had engraved the magic pattern on himself, because the pain was so intense that you just wanted to commit suicide.
After lying on the ground and resting for a long time, Xiu Yi barely sat up.
He looked down at his chest.
In front of his chest was a three hexagram magic array composed of eighteen normal lines. The three magic arrays were combined to form a whole lift, emitting a strange and dark light.
Those who don't know may think that this is just an ordinary geometric pattern. Even alchemists and magicians who are well versed in the principles of magic arrays will not understand what other patterns can do.
But Xiu Yi knew that this magic circle was the most valuable dark magic pattern among the dozens of magic patterns that Hines knew.
The dark magic pattern is a very strange magic pattern that only affects the power of the soul.
In other words, this magic pattern is only suitable for use by soul mages.
A mage with the dark demon pattern can generate the ability to shock the soul, which is the same as Xiu Yi's wind element shock in the wind element sensing talent, which can greatly increase the power of soul spells.
During the process of Hines' research on magic patterns, because the variety of magic patterns was too large, complex and cumbersome, Hines was unable to choose what formula he could develop, or what formula he could develop. He could only adjust his research direction and strategy based on his present situation.
This led to Hines's helplessness in the end that most of the more than ten magic pattern formulas he has developed are not suitable for ordinary people. On the contrary, they are very suitable for magicians to further strengthen their magic power.
The price of making these potions is so expensive that it is completely unprofitable to use so many materials just to allow a magician to reach a deeper level.
He studied magic patterns to make himself a real magician, not to serve the magicians upgraded.
This can be said to be a helplessness faced by Hines, and it is also another reason why the research results of Magic Pattern have never been handed over to the empire.
But for Xiuyi, this is good news.
As early as on Purgatory Island, Xiu Yi realized that relying solely on alchemy to improve his soul spell abilities, his achievements were always limited, but with the dark magic pattern, everything would be different.
This means that from now on, his talent in soul spells is truly the same as his own talent for wind element.
The usefulness of soul spells is actually far higher than that of wind-type spells. This is not to say that wind-type spells are not as good as soul spells, but mainly because soul spells ignore the level gap.
If the two spells practice to the peak, their power is quite powerful, but in terms of primary effects, soul spells have the power to turn the world more than wind spells. What Xiu Yi is about to face is the terrifying sixth-level space master Ablitt, such an opponent is much stronger than Hynes. When facing such a strong man, soul spells are obviously much more useful than wind magic.
After the dark magic pattern was completed at this moment, Xiu Yi could clearly feel the fluctuations of soul energy coming from his chest.
He closed his eyes and felt a clear mind in his mind, surrounded by countless stars, like balls of flames with white light.
These white light balls continue to extend outwards, threads intertwined and connected to each other, and at the same time connected to themselves...
To be continued...
