Chapter 176 The Water of the Deep Sea of the Soul
The writing method Gaode was surprised.
What writing techniques need to be learned as a special subject?
However, he did not question, but nodded solemnly, "Okay."
"Let's get started." He Xi cleared his throat and began to formally explain the so-called brushwork
From how to control the strength of the hand and how to make tiny strokes And the complicated drawing, from how to choose different magic inks according to different needs, to how to draw the most suitable runes according to different magic-guiding materials.
The more Gothe listened, the more something was wrong:
How could one brushwork involve so many aspects of content.
He guessed the truth immediately.
This is not just the brushwork, it should be the inheritance of rune construction.
"In short, you will start practicing with small and complicated drawings now."
He Xi went through the general content in an outline, and then explained the brushwork to Gaode. After learning the essentials, he began to assign homework to Gaode, "If you can't draw the magic circle yet, just use compound runes as practice."
As he said that, He Xi slowly took out a stack of jade paper as thin as cicada wings and as small as the cover of a finger.
"First, try to draw the thirty-six classic compound runes on these lacquered jade papers."
Gothe looked at the stack of jade papers, his pupils subconsciously dilated.
It is difficult to draw even the simplest basic runes on such a small piece of jade paper, let alone compound runes.
“Use this rune pen.” He then took out a special rune pen with a tip as thin as a needle.
"Follow the brushwork I just taught you and practice from scratch. When you can draw the thirty-six classic compound runes on the jade paper without any errors, you will have mastered this technique."
"Of course, this will take a long time, so you have to be patient." He Xi warned seriously.
"When you run out of lacquered jade paper, come to me for it. At other times, there is no need to come to me to report."
He Xi explained this for two reasons.
First, based on his understanding of Gaode, he believed that he did not need to check himself every day, and Gaode would also practice consciously.
The second thing is that after a lot of experiments and tests, the derivation of the "interference constant" finally became somewhat clear.
He plans to retreat and concentrate on his research, minimizing outside interference.
"I understand." Gothe nodded.
In the following time, Gaode, who only has six courses left in his body, will have a much easier and more comfortable life than before.
Although, this ease and comfort are only relative.
Because, he also has to spend a lot of time on the homework assigned by He Xi.
His talent in runes, which has always been unfavorable, is not so effective here.
Because this writing technique pays more attention to the ability to control the wrist as well as the ability to concentrate and observe.
Fortunately, the latter two have always been the outstanding parts of Gaode.
With constant failures and re-attempts, the capacity of the runes Gaode was able to draw on the jade paper the size of his fingertip was also constantly increasing.
He gradually went from having trouble drawing even one basic rune to being able to draw three basic runes.
To be honest, if the runes are drawn in an equal proportion, the increase in difficulty will not increase in proportion to the degree of reduction, but will increase exponentially.
The drawn runes are doubled in size, and the difficulty may only be doubled.
But if the drawn runes are to be doubled in size, the difficulty will suddenly increase to four times.
Because the smaller the runes are, the less room for error there is in drawing each stroke, and the closer it is to "a slight difference is a thousand miles away".
Perhaps those with talent can get started with this task faster, but it is absolutely impossible to skip it based on talent.
This is a process that must be practiced through countless times.
Gothe's Green Bud Month of Nolan Calendar 9656 ended calmly in this boring exercise that could drive many people crazy.
The only thing worth mentioning is that on the 8th of the Green Bud Month, which is the day after the meditation technique broke through to 11 petals, Gaode's guidance method also followed the footsteps of the meditation technique and was upgraded by a small level.
With enough magic power to cast 14 tricks in one breath, Gothe's "blue bars" are gradually no longer as stretched as before.
Of course, the amount of mana he possesses is still far behind - after constructing the spell model of [Cat's Claw], the amount of mana he possesses has reached the terrifying number of "28".
According to this trend, Gaode can only cast all the spells he has mastered in one breath by being promoted to a level 1 mage.
It’s the green leaf month again.
On the first day of the month, Gaode, who had been drawing "Guarantee" for four months in a row, had almost no expectations. He just habitually stood in front of the clay pot in the kitchen and used the [Water Making Technique+] again.
But this time, the familiar aroma of fragrant honey that made him feel a little nauseous did not arrive as expected.
Gaode was startled.
The next moment, information suddenly flashed into his mind like inspiration.
"The water of the deep sea of the soul."
"The deepest part of the deep sea, the sea where souls rest, is the soul of countless deep sea creatures. When creatures are immersed in it, their souls will be washed and sublimated."
Won the prize!
And it’s a jackpot.
This is Gaode’s most true thought at the moment.
After four full months of guarantee and four full months of Mercury retrograde, today’s jackpot was finally achieved.
Perhaps the "first draw of the day" of [Water Making +] is also a pseudo-random mechanism. As many draws as you collect, the next draw will definitely produce "ssr". The kind of Gothic couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then put his eyes into the earthen jar.
What you see is an indescribably deep blue.
This kind of blue seems to be able to swallow all the light.
Even in the clay pot, it does not stand still, but flows slowly in a slow and elegant manner.
Sometimes, whirlpools or ripples may even form.
However, these dynamic changes are not abrupt or chaotic, but add a bit of harmonious beauty to it.
Just, looking at the deep sea of soul water in front of him, two questions popped up in Gothe's mind at the same time.
"What does the effect of cleansing and sublimating the soul mean specifically?"
The soul is still too abstract a concept.
But at any rate, Gaode can still understand the words "washing" and "sublimation".
Just from these two verbs, we can understand that the role of "water in the deep sea of the soul" is absolutely positive and beneficial.
Another question is
"How can I soak two gallons of soul deep sea water in it?"
Two gallons, equal to about ten liters.
With ten liters of sea water, you can soak a duck, but it is absolutely impossible to soak a human being.
Gothe was lost in thought.
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision: "It can only be mixed with water."
In any case, he did not dare to drink this kind of "external use" water rashly.
If the water is not mixed, the ten liters of seawater will definitely not be used for soaking, and it will be wasted.
After all, by tomorrow, the two gallons of "soul deep sea water" in front of you will disappear.
After diluting it with water, even if its effect will be greatly weakened, it is still better than wasting it.
Since he has made a decision, Gaode will not delay and just do it.
He picked up this clay pot of "water from the deep sea of the soul" and went to the bathroom.
Gaode first put enough water in the bathtub in the bathroom.
Then, slowly pour the two gallons of "soul deep sea water" into the tub.
Suddenly, half a bucket of clear water, with the addition of "Deep Sea Water of Soul", was as if a thick dye had been added, and was instantly assimilated into the deep blue color of "Water of Deep Sea of Soul".
Gothe looked at the blue liquid in the tub, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, decisively took off his clothes and entered the tub.
In an instant, Gothe's body was wrapped in the dark blue liquid.
