Chapter 36

After obtaining the news of the trial, time seemed to have been pressed the fast-forward button.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed in a hurry, and the footsteps of the trial were near.

In this half year, Jie Ming devoted almost all his time and energy to the final stage of research on the technology of combining runes and talismans.

It must be admitted that because he spent most of his energy on runology and alchemy over the years, Jie Ming's progress in potionology was indeed not as smooth as the first two.

However, in the direction of rune and talisman fusion, he still made breakthrough progress.

Thanks to his deep cultivation of runology for more than three years, although the nine core runes of runology were the last set to be inscribed in his spiritual sea, he had successfully constructed the basic spell model of the runology school—Analysis.

If his "Alchemy" is specialized in analyzing and controlling the composition of matter and soul, then "Analysis" is specialized in understanding rules, energy, and more abstract levels.

Analysis can allow him to "see through" the essence of energy, the principles of runes, and even the way some rules operate.

Relying on the linkage between Analysis and Alchemy to analyze the operating principles of wizard runes, analyze the talisman seal structure of cultivation talismans, analyze the energy characteristics of materials, and analyze the anchoring methods of concepts.

Only then did Jie Ming barely complete the analysis and "translation" of a part of the basic talisman principles within a few years.

Seeing that the trial was near, Jie Ming did not hesitate to shift the focus of his research to practical application.

He decided to try to manufacture the new talisman he had conceived for a long time—or more accurately, a wizarding tool that combined the advantages of the technologies of the two civilizations.

"No, although this is just a semi-finished concept, it can also be called something else..."

Jie Ming looked at the blueprint he had just completed the preliminary design for and pondered for a moment.

According to the naming rules of the Wizarding World, the inventor's name is usually added to it to show the difference.

"Let's call it 'Jie Ming's Specific Rune'..." Jie Ming didn't have much entanglement with the name.

"As for the wizarding tool... since it is a wizarding tool with runes and talisman seals inscribed, why not call it 'Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool'."

Having determined the name casually, Jie Ming soon entered the manufacturing stage of the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool.

He did not set the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool as a disposable item like a talisman; that would be too wasteful, and in this way, the cost would be difficult to accept even for him.

Jie Ming referred to the production methods of some talisman treasures in the Great Dao Book Pavilion that can be reused and can absorb spiritual energy or heaven and earth energy by themselves to replenish power, and combined with the manufacturing theory of wizarding tools in the Wizarding World, he decided to make his Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool a type that can be repeatedly activated and used permanently.

In terms of materials, he used the inventory accumulated over the years.

With the improvement of his strength, Jie Ming can also use a relatively conventional refining method recorded in the Great Dao Book Pavilion to extract "Metal Essence" containing specific concepts and energy characteristics from various metals.

Over the years, in addition to gold, he has also tried to refine many other metals, and because he didn't intend to sell them, he saved a lot of this special material.

"The main body of the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool... it really has to be an old friend!"

For the main base of the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool, Jie Ming still chose fine gold as the core, supplemented by several metal essences found in the material science of the Wizarding World that are good at storing and coordinating energy, as well as a metal essence that can produce strong resonance with spiritual power.

Fine gold provides stable concept anchoring, while the latter two materials are responsible for energy circulation and excitation.

These materials were proportioned according to a certain ratio and melted together using his "Alchemy" spell to form the sturdy base of the wizarding tool.

The rune patterns on the surface of the wizarding tool, which are the core talisman seals, are composed of another metal essence that is extremely friendly to elemental power.

This essence can efficiently draw elemental power from the environment and guide it to the internal talisman seal structure.

Just testing the material ratio of the main base, as well as the methods of melting and shaping, took Jie Ming quite a long time.

He constantly tried, calculated, and adjusted, referring to the artifact refining methods in the Great Dao Book Pavilion while comparing them with the existing wizarding tool manufacturing formulas and theories in the Wizarding World, and finally found a relatively stable material ratio.

"Next, it's time to consider what type of Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool to manufacture." Jie Ming looked at the materials in his hand that had passed the test and nodded with satisfaction.

"If the goal is combat, the three most important needs should be attack, defense, and mobility. Which one is better to make?"

Only children make multiple-choice questions; Jie Ming said I want them all!

Anyway, the materials and points are sufficient. According to the three most commonly used aspects of attack, defense, and mobility, Jie Ming manufactured three prototypes of Talisman Seal Wizarding Tools with different functions.

The attack-type Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool inscribed a talisman seal based on the combination of cultivation fire spells and wizard fireball runes.

This is a classic fireball spell; after excitation, it has great power, fast speed, and strong destructive power, and after modifications by generations of wizards, it has also been quite well optimized in terms of runes.

Without deliberate control, it will only release a simple fireball spell.

But Jie Ming also used the flexibility of alchemy and talisman seals to make it capable of a certain degree of external shape operation through weak spiritual power, such as letting the fireball split or changing the flight trajectory.

The defense-type Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool inscribed a talisman seal based on the modification of a cultivation world body-protection spell talisman seal and the basic energy shield runes of the Wizarding World; after use, it can form a full-body energy shield.

The most unique feature of this shield is that it can form shields with different characteristics by absorbing and converting different elemental energies.

For example, absorbing earth elements will form a thick shield with the strongest defense, absorbing wind elements can form a light shield that can deflect long-range attacks to a certain extent, and absorbing fire elements can form a scorching shield with flame counterattack effects.

The mobility-type Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool is based on the flight spell runes of the Wizarding World, combined with the effects of a cultivation world light-body spell talisman seal.

Its effect after excitation is to allow the user to gain flight ability, and because of the effect of the light-body spell, it flies faster and more flexibly than a wizard of the same level simply using a flight spell.

The various knowledge and preparations required in the early stage had long been completed, and making these three Talisman Seal Wizarding Tools did not take Jie Ming much time.

"Done!"

Slowly controlling the magic array to let the three Talisman Seal Wizarding Tools just made and suspended in mid-air fall, Jie Ming was inexplicably a little excited.

After testing slightly with the laboratory's instruments to confirm that there was no problem with the runes, he couldn't wait to take the few Talisman Seal Wizarding Tools just refined and walked into the training ground with great interest.
