In addition to the country bumpkin magician's ability to survive the troubles of the empire, another thing that has been discussed by everyone is the evaluation given by the Demon Prince. Is it appropriate for such a person to still have a thin golden thread?
Among all the branches of the Magician Association, the Feist District where the Holy City of Estali is located is recognized as the branch that is most difficult to obtain recognition as a 'Grand Magician'.
Don't look at the fact that the number of great magicians active in Estali is far greater than that in other places. This is because there are more amazing magicians here. To be recognized in the First District, who doesn't have proud achievements, and is also an experienced and qualified magician.
So, should we grant this magician who can survive the Demon Prince a second golden thread that symbolizes his identity? If the rumors of fighting that one and surviving are true, there is no doubt about his strength. But the magicians couldn't help but laugh at themselves when they were awarded the second golden thread for such a reason.
In addition to relying on merit and strength to be recognized by everyone as having the qualifications of a great magician, there are other ways. After all, magicians still pay great attention to knowledge, so if you submit enough advanced magic knowledge, you have a chance to be recognized.
Just like in the history of magicians, there are also people who are recognized as great magicians because they have contributed knowledge of strategic magic. But usually such magicians have accumulated considerable achievements and reputations, but they just lack the finishing touch. Only then did he show off his special skills and get everyone's nod of approval.
But all in all, this is also a method. Therefore, staff from the First District Chapter approached Lin, hoping that he could offer enough magic to represent his strength to convince everyone and successfully obtain the second golden thread. The reason why this clerk was so active was because the clerk who had previously rejected the submission of mathematical knowledge was now assigned to a corner where he could do so.
Of course, Lin was happy to cooperate with such a request. I also know that you don’t necessarily need to show off all your special skills, it’s enough to have a prototype so that people can get started. In history, those magicians who handed over strategic level magic knowledge did not hide a trump card when they were alive, and only handed over the superficial knowledge. Anyone who dares to hand it over must have more powerful magic in hand.
Lin did not hand over all the magic formations carved on his dream tower, because the amount was too much and too complicated. It’s so complicated that it’s quite troublesome for me to go back and check or make changes. If my memory wasn't good enough now, I wouldn't be able to figure out which section of grammar does what.
After sorting it out, the magical knowledge handed over was based on the celestial movement diagram studied during the Great Sage's Tower era based on the bright light technique. Lin did not hand over all the records of the thousands of stars he had observed, but the 1,579 stars used in astrology, which constituted the Midland version of the astrological star chart.
This can be said to be the starting point of all my abilities. With this picture, I kept verifying and modifying my mathematical formulas, and then I met the World Tree, and that's how I became who I am today. It can also be said that if you fail to understand this picture, you don’t have to think about the knowledge behind it.
But the result was just as he had guessed, and no one could understand it. The white-haired bearded magicians in math class are still scratching their hair for trigonometric functions. How many of them can master astronomy and physics with a basic foundation in calculus?
There were even senior officials from the Magicians Association who wanted to transfer him over to explain. After Lin consulted with the headmaster of Kabamba Academy, he simply ignored the request. Just respond with the words I once said publicly, you are not smart enough so you can’t understand, is it my fault?
If it had been a few years earlier, Lin would still be interested in the false title of 'Great Magician'. But after reaching a certain age and a certain height, a false name is just a false name. If it cannot be replaced with something real, there is actually nothing to pursue.
Just like the Lich's usual attitude, she would never rush to log in as a great magician after arriving in a new Magician Association section. She also doesn't care what others call her, although that's just most of the time. If you dare to call her "old woman" in front of her, you will immediately be reincarnated. In short, Fen believes that as long as she has the ability to beat others to the point of calling them mother-in-law, they can call her whatever they want.
The two golden threads of the 'Great Magician' can easily earn the respect of people you meet for the first time, just like diplomas from major universities on earth. But in the end, what makes people admire and admire you from the bottom of their hearts depends on what you do. There are many veteran great magicians in Estali, and their title is more of a natural state, not something they deliberately pursue.
Once your mentality is correct, many things won't matter. In other words, even if you really actively strive for the title of 'Great Magician', there is actually no real benefit.
My recent focus is on clothes made of magic silk, which are life-saving equipment. Even if you have the title of 'Great Magician', you won't have the title bonus effects of defense +10 and wisdom +20 like in the game.
But compared to the development of the jacquard machine, the printing press has recently produced quite gratifying results.
The manufacturing process of magic scrolls in a magical world is comparable to the automobile industry in a technological world. Even if it does not use the most cutting-edge technology, it is definitely a mainstay product in terms of practicality and economy. Naturally, the accumulation of various skills will be very rich.
The Manroland printing press only improved the process of making magic scrolls. The materials and ink types required for the scrolls have already been accumulated in the long history of Midi. What Dean Kabambai has to do is to find the most suitable material for printing and the type of magic scroll.
In this regard, the resources at the disposal of Dean Kabanbai are far from being comparable to that of a little magician from out of town or a lich who was resurrected after a thousand years. Even if Lin does the same work himself, he may not be able to get results so quickly, or there may even be no results at all. A certain partial subject student is extremely crooked.
Of course, Lin was not completely without contribution during the research process. In addition to suggesting segmented printing, the most common thing to do is to modify the Manroland printing press according to the needs put forward by the dean.
Just because I don't want to put too much effort into the research of printing magic scrolls doesn't mean that I don't want to get a share of the results. Rather than asking his own people to study and understand the mechanical structure, and then modify the printing machine, Dean Kabanbai chose a simpler way, which was to let people who understood it change it for them.
Compared with the jacquard machine at home, the changes that will be made here are as trivial as drizzle. The biggest structural change was when segmented printing was proposed, the machine was changed to one that could automatically replace multiple printing relief plates, as well as the way paper was put in and out and transported. In addition, the gap of the paper feed roller is adjusted so that it can adapt to various thicknesses of paper or non-paper printing carriers.
But because most Manroland printing machines use ordinary metal, any modification is not as easy as the jacquard machine at home. Therefore, the technical guild built by Uzov Gantia must be entrusted to be completed by the craftsmen inside.
It takes a lot of time to go back and forth and change a small part. But as mentioned before, the modification of the machine is a minor detail in the magic scroll printing process. Whether it is completed or not is not so urgent. We still have more and more important experiments to do.
The great progress in the printing process of magic scrolls is of course not the discovery of a method for complete printing. Instead, he referred to the segmented printing mentioned by someone before, extended this concept, and found out the parts of the transcription of a magic scroll that were not necessarily completed by manpower, and which parts must be completed by magicians or apprentices. Written by hand, stroke by stroke.
The difference is that, basically, as long as a complete magic scroll is not used, its ability to cast magic can theoretically be maintained. Just like a magic stone that is left unused, the power contained in it will be exchanged with the outside world. Some will be retained and some will be released, until the upper limit of the magic stone's storage is reached.
The so-called storage limit is actually a balance between the amount of power exchanged between the magic stone and the outside world without increasing or decreasing. And this upper limit depends on the quality of the magic stone. Therefore, the higher the quality of the magic stone, the more power it stores.
This is why ordinary paper and ordinary ink are difficult to use to make magic scrolls. Because they cannot retain power at all, and that energy will in turn become the culprit of destroying the carrier.
The semi-finished product of the magic scroll is like a machine that has not yet formed a circuit and cannot stop operating autonomously. This kind of machine will only continue to waste and lose until the energy is exhausted, or the machine is damaged. Some of this process is fast and some is slow.
The reason for the speed is not yet known. But the Magic Scroll Printing Research Group led by Dean Kabambai hopes to find those parts that dissipate slowly after printing and use them for printing.
Although the reasons are still unclear, some conclusions can still be drawn by using the most primitive research methods of MIDI, namely the exhaustive method and the trial-and-error method. Of course, the action of induction is another suggestion given by someone. Easy to understand, yet easy to use.
First of all, when line runes exist alone, they can last longer than spells.
Second, spell-like text cannot be overprinted; that is to say, only one letter is printed in the first printing, two letters are printed in the second time, and three letters are printed in the third time, in an attempt to extend the time for the power to spread. Doing so will cause the magic to go out of control, followed by a gorgeous explosion. Therefore, if the text is to be printed, it must be printed properly and not messed up.
Third, when multiple parts with different durations are printed on the same carrier, the duration is determined by the shortest one, not by any average or weighted average method. Just like the water capacity of a bucket, it depends on the shortest board.
Fourth, some words should not be printed, but even if they are engraved on the printing relief plate, there will be problems! No matter whether the relief is made of magic materials or ordinary materials. And this is also the biggest reason why magic scrolls cannot be completely separated from manual production.
