Chapter 142 [Hand of the Mage+]
Dark Night Moon, 25th.
Gaode entered the quiet Gavin Building with ease.
After passing the long corridor and reaching the third floor, I met only two strangers in total.
There is no so-called small talk, everyone seems to have their own things to worry about, and their steps are in a hurry.
Gaode likes this atmosphere very much.
He arrived at the rune workshop on the third floor skillfully. The moment he stepped into the workshop, Gothe's face instantly became cautious.
Be as cautious as if you are about to face a powerful enemy.
The ten basic zero-level runes are indeed powerful enemies for the current Gaode.
He is not afraid of boring learning.
On the contrary, he even felt that learning runes was a very pleasant thing for him.
Whether it is the beauty of the runes or the acquisition of knowledge, Gaode is extremely satisfied.
But no matter how much he likes to learn runes, he can't change the consumption of physical strength and energy caused by this process.
His prudence comes from this.
The moment Gothe entered the workroom, the familiar old voice sounded calmly.
This voice still did not say hello to Gaode. Like a machine, it directly issued today's "instructions".
"Look at the information on the table first. The rune drawing does not need to be completed in the workshop. Just bring it to me for inspection tomorrow."
"Magic paper, rune pens and magic ink can be taken away."
Compared with the previous two days, what Jose O'Kenley said today is no longer "copy and paste".
Gaode listened in silence, his hands already opening the information on the table.
The above is about the basic brushwork that needs to be mastered in the process of drawing runes.
Including "point", "put", "touch", "play", "lift", etc.
These brushwork techniques allow the rune master to better control the brushstrokes, thereby increasing stability, reducing mana consumption, etc.
In addition, there is a basic method of sending mana, which can make the flow of mana more stable during the process of drawing runes, thus increasing the success rate of drawing runes.
The more Gothe looked at it, the more he felt that this should be something he had to learn before drawing the runes yesterday
Of course, he did not know that the order that He Xi expected was indeed like this.
He just wanted Gothe to know the runes yesterday, and did not want him to master the ten basic runes immediately.
The real start of trying to draw runes should be after learning the brushwork and mana delivery methods today.
——Yesterday was Gaode's first runes class. If the intensity and difficulty were to reach the max, it would only make Gaode feel resistant and fearful.
In a sense, He Xi is indeed a good mentor, except that he talks too little.
Although this is not a shortcoming, he happened to meet Goude, who was less talkative.
So Gothe relied on his own understanding and did not ask too many questions. Success would lead to misunderstandings, and finished ten level zero basic runes in one go
So, there was a reversal of the order in the teaching logic.
Of course, this is not a big deal.
Gaode continued to look down at the information in silence.
At the end of the information, there are rune diagrams and corresponding deconstruction explanatory text.
The meaning is also very concise and clear, just learn it and you’re done.
However, there are only five zero-level basic runes today.
This means that Gaode can complete today's study in a more relaxed state and can leave more energy and time to do other things.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
If the following days were like this, Gothe's worries would disappear - he had also taken eight elective courses, which would start intensively next month, which would undoubtedly require a lot of energy and time from him.
With his mood slightly relaxed, Gothe even had some extra energy and began to think about what kind of person this head of the runes department, who he had not seen even three times since coming here and had been hiding in a small room, was?
At least so far, Gothe's impression of him is only "mysterious" and "busy".
While Gothe was guessing what kind of person Jose O'Kenley was, the old man was also thinking about the young student, or should I say student, outside the door.
Whether in name or in fact, he has assumed the responsibility of a moral mentor.
He never thought that a young man who had never been exposed to runes could rely on his "intuition" to come up with the concept of "interference constant" that had troubled him for many years.
I have never seen any young man who can show such a calm attitude and such an amazing talent in the boring and monotonous study of runes.
There is no doubt that the young man outside the door, his first student in so many years, has shown endless talent in the field of runes.
He Xi had never seen this kind of talent even in the place where he was born, the place with the most advanced rune technology on the continent.
Hence, the question before him is: how to protect and utilize Gaode's infinite talent.
José O'Kenley thought about it for a long time last night, and the first thing he did in the end was to reduce Gothe's burden.
His initial intention was to let Gothe master ten basic runes in ten days, but Gothe's mistake was to unintentionally reveal his limits.
It's just that this kind of limit is not necessary. He is still a very young child and has a lot of time.
Long-term extreme learning will only destroy a person's energy and love, and overdraw his potential.
Too much is not enough, and it is universal in any field.
Of course, Gaode cannot be made too relaxed.
At least one basic rune is too few for such a "genius".
So, after thinking about it, Jose Oakenley set the number of basic runes that Gothe needs to master every day at five.
In the following time, Gothe's life gradually became regular.
In the morning, he went to Gavin Building at a fixed time to pick up the information for the day, and then mastered five new zero-level basic runes. This usually only takes one morning.
In the afternoon and evening, it is time for practice, [cultivation of poisonous insects] and reading books borrowed from the library.
Gaode cherishes these days very much.
Because he knows that after the elective courses start, he will have no free time and energy to read non-course-related general books.
The understanding of this world is increasing rapidly with the number of books read.
Hong with the rapid improvement, there are also his basic rune mastery and origin progress bar.
The last day of the Dark Night Moon.
Origin:
0 rings - [Fire-kissed Ant] (7/7), [Scorpion] (7/7)
1 ring—— [Phantom Thorn Centipede] (2/7)
Except for [Phantom Thorn Centipede], which is at level 1 and has a total number of eggs of no more than 43, the other two level 0 poisonous insects have all reached their full source progress.
After returning to his dormitory, Gaode immediately sat down cross-legged, held his breath attentively, and thought silently in his heart.
"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow."
The simple spell interface suddenly popped up.
Gothe's eyes swept across the tricks that had not yet been added, and he had already made a decision.
He skillfully tapped the flashing yellow "+" sign behind the spell entry with his consciousness.
The next moment.
Fenling Yueying, start!
The Big Dipper, which represents the origin of [Fire Kissing Ant], is combined with Gaode’s original spell model and expanded.
After a moment.
【Mage's Hand+】(Change system, 0 ring):
A floating ghost hand appears within the casting distance, which will continue to exist until the spell ends or the spell is actively dismissed.
If the ghost hand is more than 30 feet (10 meters) away, or if mage hand is cast again, the existing ghost hand disappears.
The mage's hand can perform simple actions, such as manipulating an object, opening an unlocked door or container, or pouring the contents of a vial, but it cannot carry objects exceeding 10 pounds (approximately 4.5 kilograms) or activate spell items.
Extra: You will be able to control two "Mage Hands" at the same time and perform more complex actions, just like your hands.
