Tina looked at Vilia with a serious face: "Tell me, Velia, how much did you sell this thing?"
"Teacher, I just made this kind of sword-swinging one. The ones I sold before were unable to move. But the sword-swinging didn't last too long, about three or four days. I haven't figured out how to price it yet...
"
The Dagos girl suddenly thought of something, and her face turned pale with fright: "Is this illegal? I heard that selling things seems to require permission from each city, but I set up a stall outside the woods outside the city.
ah……"
"That's not it."
Tina said: "You are a clay doll, you have runes engraved on its surface or inside, right? But how can the runes mobilize the clay doll to make such subtle movements?"
"This is actually..."
Just as Vilia was about to tell her story, a young man of about twenty years old suddenly walked in from outside.
"Vilia, are there guests?"
He was also thin, with messy hair, bright eyes and a tough face, and he was carrying a middle-aged woman in a robe on his back.
"elder brother!"
Vilia immediately ran over and placed the woman on the bed with her brother.
Tina guessed that that should be their mother - her face was calm and her breathing was slow. She should have taken some magic potion like anesthetic juice in the nursing home to have a better rest.
After hearing his sister's introduction, the young man immediately said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much for taking care of Vilia. I am her brother, Chuck. The family is very small, so please don't mind."
He quickly wiped a chair with a towel and moved it in front of Tina.
Tina chatted with Chuck and learned that the siblings' mother, Nahe, suffered from a strange disease and would suffer sudden heart palpitations.
When she got sick, Nahe was sweating profusely and felt weak all over. In severe cases, she even felt like she was drowning and couldn't breathe. As she got older, Nahe's attacks became more and more frequent, making her body weaker and weaker, and she was no longer able to walk.
The two brothers and sister discussed and decided to leave their hometown and go to the advanced Yao civilization to seek medical treatment, carrying their mother on their backs.
They took the leather left by their late father, sold off their few possessions, and went to the Resurrection Kingdom first, carrying their mother on their backs.
The doctors there were helpless, so they went all the way to Yaocheng.
It is a pity that the four major sanatoriums in Yaocheng are already overcrowded, and patients with difficult and complicated diseases from many worlds gather here. The doctors are almost jogging all the way inside, even eating while eating wheat cakes. They mainly take in those who are in critical condition.
of emergency patients.
Although Nahe's illness is serious, he is considered a mild patient there.
The doctor in Yaocheng really couldn't tell the difference between the person and the bed, so he suggested that they go to Yancheng, saying that the environment there was more relaxed and comfortable, and the medical conditions in Yancheng were not much different from those in Yaocheng. Nahe's condition required long-term observation and control, and it was very difficult.
It is difficult to say that it can be cured immediately.
So they came to Yancheng and rented this suburban hut.
Running around for medical treatment has long depleted the family's savings, so his brother Chuck went to work at the "Wonderful Zoo".
Her younger sister Wei Liya makes clay figurines, weaves bamboo baskets and baskets, and makes some wooden combs to set up a stall outside the city to supplement the family income.
But even in Yao cities, competition is fierce.
No one can beat the bamboo and reed people in the field of bamboo products. There are various apprentices in carpentry and sculpture to make extra money. Even in the production of clay and pottery, there are earth elemental creatures competing for business. It is too difficult for Vilia to start a business.
Finally, she finally found a job and worked as an assistant to Tina.
This is probably the case.
Tina said to Chuck: "I'll be honest, the pottery doll made by Vilia may be of great value. However, this is only my preliminary judgment, and it needs to be technically reproduced and verified before I can be sure.
Final value.”
"If you believe me, I am willing to be your agent and go to the [Mithra's Ode Totem] in the Kingdom of Secrets to complete the contract."
"Under the watchful eye of Lord Yao and the strict supervision of Mithra, the God of Contract, your interests can be ensured. If you can obtain more wealth, you will be able to find more medical treatments."
In response, Chuck replied: "As long as Vilia agrees, I have no objection. This is Vilia's wisdom and property."
"I believe in the teacher and I listen to the teacher!"
Wei Liya said to her brother: "Brother, the teacher is super rich. Work and doing things are just hobbies. Many people in the college know that Teacher Wei Liya is actually the richest man in Shacheng and one of the founders of the [Shacheng Mutual Aid Foundation] Mina
Where is the lady’s daughter?”
Chuck showed a look of realization.
"..."
Tina has a headache.
Everyone always thinks that she is rich, but that is not the case at all.
Her mother, Mina, also has another identity as the ancient southern dryad Jyoti. Her father is Pava, the great writer who wrote "Pava's Bizarre Adventure" and "Crystal Empire".
Both parents do have a lot of property.
However, the family wealth did not come into his own hands.
Because there are at least a dozen children like her in the family, and they all live in different worlds.
My parents travel and have fun all day long, and give themselves a sum of money every year, which is probably enough to build a small house.
This is certainly a lot, but it is far less exaggerated than the external rumors.
Moreover, she has a lot of expenses, and she will also sponsor some students from poor families to help them complete their studies.
In addition, Tina also has a tradition of buying beautiful clothes and various jewelry. After all, she is the daughter of Dryad Jyoti. She likes sparkling gems and luminous decorations. Mother and daughter are of the same origin.
If I really want to say that I am different from ordinary people, it is probably that I know very calmly that life requires a material foundation.
Everyone lives under the heavy gravity of matter.
No one is an exception.
…
Tina took Vilia to the [Secret Kingdom] first.
Under the majestic and ancient stone totem, together with the other contractors, they chanted praises to Mitra, the god of contract, and completed the contract.
As the agent of the pottery technology mastered by Vilia, the two parties will be divided into three parts: Tina three and Velia seven. Tina will protect Vilia's interests and ensure that this technology produces material returns that are consistent with its value.
Back in the college office, Vilia talked about the technical secrets of the pottery doll while doing the actual operation.
"I knead the clay into parts, and then assemble them into a large pottery doll, that is, into fists, forearms, upper arms, legs, chest, and heads...and then use the concave and convex structures on them to connect them
stand up."
"When making it, I engraved a rune inside, "Pesso (spell)/Yevaz (carriage) Hagraz (hurricane) Berkana (birth) Kenaz (protection)/Soway
Luo (divine power is emitted)". Then put these parts into the magic bottle for reinforcement and charging, so that they can maintain Li magic power for several days."
The girl explained: "This spell was originally engraved on the shoes used to carry heavy things. It turned out that the runes on my father's shoes were wrong, but it could make him float. Only then did I know that the spell could be changed and adjusted.
It can also exert special power."
"I think this is the treasure my father left me."
She said it very easily, but Tina's face became serious when she heard it.
This is no casual endeavor.
Runes did not receive enough attention among the Yao people.
First, Apostle Longji confirmed that it was an imitation of Dragon Language, so it was inherently despised.
The second reason is that the Dagos people who master the runes are living in dire straits. Without the command of Yao God and the rescue of the Yao people, they will most likely be destroyed in the river of history. The power of the runes cannot even save Dagos.
Sri Lankan people.
For these reasons, the Yao people are most concerned about the Dagoth technology of [Magic Bottle] and [Magic Well], and they have indeed made major breakthroughs in these two fields.
Nowadays, [Crystal Magic Bottle] has entered many cities at a very low price and has become a part of residents' daily life.
Although due to safety concerns, residents can only purchase, register and use small magic bottles, this has greatly reduced people's costs for heating, cooking and even making tools.
Not to mention [Magic Well]. Whether it is [Elemental Demon World], an energy world transformed by the Yao people, or the safe version [Elemental Demon Well] for urban use, they have truly changed the living conditions and ways of all Yao people.
.
In the past few decades, runes have made almost no progress.
In the early days, many scholars also tried to develop from them, but they soon discovered that these 24 runes were difficult to express complex abilities. They could only bind, stabilize, spike, tear, speed, etc., and
The duration is very short.
If the rune combination is slightly longer, it will be extremely unstable, unable to ensure the balance of power, and it will be very easy to break and fail.
The layer of runes that condense magic energy covering the [Magic Bottle] has not yet been deciphered. This, along with the "Book of Gods" sent down by God Yao and the digital oracle of God Moment, are also known as the three unsolved mysteries of the Yao people.
mystery of.
Scholars have gradually given up on this direction.
But now, Vilia has come up with an idea that has never been seen before - a new format.
The expression of the power of runes and the rules for defining magic energy have a paradigm that is completely different from that of ordinary text writing.
Not only left, right, up and down, but also spaces, interlaced lines and area divisions.
Close to letter format.
Translated into Yao characters, it is as follows.
"Spell
Carriage hurricane is born
Protect
"divine power comes out"
There is a clear and coordinated ordering and specification.
Tina was very excited when she saw it.
If the runes can be truly utilized, then building a house will be extremely simple. You can even stack the houses to become an infinite tower, drill into the clouds, and use the house to connect to another world!
People will build flying and mobile houses, and no longer have to rely on those birds in the "Overhead Basket" to transform flying houses - they are so arrogant now that they accept people's hospitality and care everywhere without expressing their opinions at all.
Like a king looking for a concubine.
Tina has long been dissatisfied with this.
We can build flying houses without you!
Vilia was still talking: "...but long runes are actually difficult to carve, because in order to complete the expansion of the rune power, it needs to be evenly distributed on the surface of the entire charged object."
"So the size needs to be controlled so that each rune is even and equal in size. In the past, hunters used ink lines to draw areas on bows and magic horns with ink, and then carefully carved within the areas."
"But the pottery is thin and easy to break, and the clay will collapse and become uneven when carved on it. So I made some wooden molds, carved out the positive engravings of the runes on them, made identical clay pieces with the runes, and then stuck them on
The inside and outside of the pottery...are actually based on the printing technique of the Yao people."
"Then these clay pieces can be directly baked with the fire element in the magic bottle, taken out and fixed together, making them easy to handle."
The Dagos girl told all her feelings.
Tina immediately tried it and found that the result was indeed as Vilia said. Through this seemingly simple method, the power of the rune could be restored.
The unexpected rune segment can be said to be a result of luck. But the original connection of clay pieces, as well as the standardized use of printing and bone engineering, are undoubtedly the child's own creation.
She discovered a new tool for describing the world.
Tina asked: "Why would you think of making such a thing?"
"Because ordinary clay and pottery figurines cannot be sold, everyone's handiwork is so good."
Vilia thought again and added: "There is also my brother. He actually wants to be a spaceship pilot and fly into the sky, but it is impossible for our family. The spaceship requires him to leave home for several years, so he can't do it.
"
"I like Miss Yao Shen's personal attendant Miss Isabel very much. I also want to have one of her wands so that I can fly to the sky on her wand."
"And my mother, she can't stand up physically, and the [fire steamer] is expensive and hard to use... I want to take her to the sky on a magic wand. If I can make it myself, everyone can fulfill their wish.
You don’t have to spend money to buy it.”
"I want to make a wand that can fly. Although I only have these pottery pieces at the moment, they can barely float."
The girl said a little embarrassedly.
"Will do."
Tina said seriously: "You can make a magic wand and make everyone fly. I will help you. I am your assistant in this matter."
Vilia was stunned: "Is it really possible?"
"Of course. Vilia, be more confident."
Tina adjusted her crystal glasses and smiled slightly: "Not only can we fly by ourselves, we also need to take the house...and take the whole city with us."
"With this, we can make a heavy life lighter and allow everyone to fly."
Vilia whispered: "But I heard that you have a private airship, teacher. Will it be heavy..."
"...Rumors are all rumors."
Tina held her forehead: "Don't listen to those guys' nonsense."
She suddenly thought.
it's time.
I have to write a letter to my mother and ask her to fund this experiment that will go down in history.
