Ronald had only witnessed the making of magic props once.
Those were the gloves made by Claudia before dealing with Elva a few nights ago.
Claudia, who specializes in investigator spells, changed the state of matter, softening the cobblestones that could store magic power into silk threads, mixed them into the cloth, and then woven them into the gloves that Ronald is now wearing.
Whether considering it from a practical or aesthetic point of view.
This is definitely a very good magic prop.
The old man in front of Ronald now, a mysterious folk craftsman named Elon, showed a completely different approach to making items from Claudia.
After confirming Ronald's hand shape, Elon first confidently selected a piece of material, which was a silver solid with a metallic luster.
Immediately, he fixed the material on the tool table.
The vise forged from two pieces of hard steel firmly grips the material, and other positions are hollowed out to facilitate manual processing. It is definitely a tool table that Ronald has never seen before.
Then, Elon took out a slender pointed handle.
He controlled his own magic power to pour it in, and immediately aimed at the silver solid and stabbed it.
Zhi——
The contact point between the two emits the sound of melting at high temperature.
Ronald also clearly saw that the silver material had begun to deform under Elon's operation.
While doing this work, the elderly craftsman showed a very leisurely attitude.
Such a simple task is already familiar to him.
Even while dissolving the shape of the material, he still had time to explain to Ronald:
"Sir, the material I chose for you is the engraved silver that I accidentally obtained when I was working at sea. Although it is not as good as the top magic materials, in this small shop of mine, it is definitely the best.
We have materials that meet your requirements.”
"..."
Engraved silver...
Hearing this word, Ronald immediately thought of the old investigator he met in Burrenwich. At that time, it was the engraver who was responsible for maintaining the foundation of the investigation bureau building.
And the name of the material the old man mentioned now may have a lot to do with it.
Being idle right now is also idle.
Watching Elon's movements, Ronald simply said:
"The naming of this material seems to have a lot to do with the engraver..."
"Who says it's not?" Listening to Ronald's chatting tone, Elon naturally would not cause trouble with his guest, not to mention that the other party was an original code holder, so he explained decisively:
"Since that Stater pioneered the engraving technology, not only the production of various props or magic circles, but also the development of the school has been far better than before."
"The school mark... is truly a creation beyond imagination."
"..."
Elon's casual sigh left Ronald stunned.
School mark...
Was it actually created by that Stater?
The one he once saw in the Bureau's collection of books, the pioneer of this world's dark ages?
Although Elon just mentioned it in casual conversation.
But Ronald's intuition told him that this was very important information and he must ask for it clearly!
Silently controlling his mentality, Ronald kept his tone as unchanged as possible.
He spoke slowly and asked:
"School Mark is indeed a very powerful creation."
"But I haven't learned about the history of this aspect during my studies. Can you tell me about it?"
Hearing Ronald's question, the old craftsman was slightly startled.
"well……?"
At this moment, the engraved silver on the tool table has melted half, and he is using magic interference to generate a force field on the tool table, fixing the material like a melted candle in the air.
As a mysterious person who makes and sells props for a living, he rarely hears people asking about this kind of thing.
Strictly speaking, this is not a secret of our school.
Moreover, as a small school sect with no reputation, it seems that there is nothing worth coveting for others...
What's more, the young man in front of me.
He is also a solid original holder.
The feeling in his heart was a bit complicated, but Elon still smiled and sighed:
"Having such a thirst for knowledge about everything."
"Perhaps only a scholar like you is qualified to hold the original text at such a young age."
Ronald nodded and responded:
"You are overly flattering."
"I'm just a little curious."
Smiling at Ronald, while controlling the engraved silver that was almost completely melted and in a state close to liquid, Elon showed a hint of nostalgia on his face before continuing to explain:
"Speaking of which, you may not necessarily know this history."
"Generally speaking, only those who study magic circles or engravings will know these things under the guidance of teachers. That happened a long time ago, at the end of the dark age..."
Next, while Elon was shaping the shape of the ring, he told Ronald about the mysterious side of it long ago.
It is said that before the Dark Ages, human schools did not need the school mark when casting spells. Instead, they had to learn knowledge from the teacher, and then pass the test of the original scriptures in the ceremony to obtain the qualifications to cast spells.
This process is very dangerous.
Once you enter the trial of the original canon, you will naturally gain the authority to use spells if you successfully pass it.
But if it fails...
Nothing outside can interfere with the trial.
Failure means death.
It was not until the end of the Dark Ages that Stat's research created a scholastic imprint that could channel the power of the original scripture. This allowed the mysterious sect to reduce its exaggerated mortality rate and embark on a new stage of development.
It is a pity that with the end of the dark age, the best mystical side magicians at that time also returned to dust one by one. The environment that originally had a tendency to integrate schools gradually became abandoned without the support of its leaders.
To this day.
Many large schools of thought at that time had become very fragmented.
Driven by personal interests, the development of the mysterious side has once again stalled.
On the contrary, the imprint of the school invented in that era has been completely popularized in this era.
After talking about this past history, Elon also carved the miniature magic circle into the material, and then completed the shape of the ring.
Take out the silver ring from the tool table.
After polishing it very brightly with other tools, the old man showed the ring in front of Ronald:
"It's been made. Sir, would you like to try it on?"
Ronald nodded and responded:
"Well, let me try."
"..."
He took the prop from Elon with a normal expression.
After all, the ring is made according to the shape of the hand, so it is naturally very comfortable to wear.
But what was in Ronald's mind.
But it is not as ordinary as it appears on the surface.
