Volume Two: The Two-Headed Dragon Kiki Chapter 195: The Hidden Mystery
The competition lasted for more than half an hour, and none of the enchanters present were hands-on. Under their enchanting tables were placed the magic materials that might be used. The paints had to be prepared by oneself, but the ratio of raw materials used in classic painting methods was fixed.
, so material selection is not a problem.
Gu Nansheng pointed his forehead with his index finger and looked at the two "scrolls" in front of him attentively. The first one was the Poor Ghost Shield "scroll" and the second one was the Shadow Shrine "scroll".
The poor man's shield is composed of two agility slippers and a small buckler. Effect: The hero has a 60% chance of resisting 20 points of damage from normal attacks and increasing agility by 6 points.
The Poor Man's Shield is said to have been invented by an alcoholic enchanter who was so poor that he spent all his money on fine wine and synthetic materials.
However, he was a rebellious person by nature and did not want to be attached to any big power, so he lived in poverty all his life.
The Pauper's Shield synthetic scroll was his most outstanding invention. Perhaps because of his irresponsible naming, or maybe he wanted to be ironic, this originally great invention was finally given the catchy name of Pauper's Shield.
As for the Shadow Shrine, it has gone beyond the scope of low-level equipment, and even a third-level enchanter may not be able to use it.
To synthesize the Shadow Shrine, you need to mix the synthesizer's blood into the magic circle paint. It is a very evil equipment that can capture the soul of the killed enemy and convert it into life energy to heal yourself and your allies, or convert it into corrosive energy to damage you.
enemy.
The synthetic materials are two power gloves and an artist's mask. The effect is: +50% mana regeneration speed, +6 points of strength.
If the first round of equipment synthesis was to take care of low-level enchanters, then this round is to widen the gap between low-level enchanters and high-level enchanters.
The score for choosing the Shrine of Shadows will be twice as high as choosing the Poor Man's Shield.
Gu Nansheng relied on his full understanding of low-level equipment, and he was confident in synthesizing the Shadow Shrine. However, he had never drawn the scroll of the Shadow Shrine.
It is almost impossible to succeed in drawing a scroll for the first time, especially if it is a deciphering drawing.
So Gu Nansheng chose the Poor Ghost Shield Scroll in a low-key manner. His goal was very clear, which was to challenge the similarity to more than 99%.
Luojia dared to promise such a high score because he had absolute confidence in the difficulty of these two scrolls.
Gu Nansheng was not arrogant enough to think that he could beat the sixth-level enchanter and get a high score of 5,000 points that destroyed the balance for the first time, just because the test questions given by Luo Jia happened to be what he was best at.
If anyone can score points that destroy the balance in this round, then Luojia will be too shameless.
Judging from Luo Jia's calm and calm look, there must be something interesting about these two scrolls.
But even if he can't get 100%, getting 99% is still 1,600 points. Five thousand plus one thousand and six is 6,600 points. So even if Gu Nansheng doesn't get any points in the final third round, he will definitely win the third place.
one.
After all, according to the previous rules of the Lord Competition, the champions of team battles and individual competitions can only get 10,000 points. If the score of the Enchanter Competition is too high, it will seriously affect the balance of the game.
More than an hour passed, and Gu Nansheng had completely memorized the order of all the magic circle symbols on the "scroll" in front of him.
He squinted his eyes and explored every energy texture. His index finger, middle finger and thumb subconsciously leaned together and rubbed them slightly.
Over the past few years, Gu Nansheng's understanding of the Poor Ghost's Shield Scroll has reached its peak. Gu Nansheng has studied dozens of classic painting methods recorded in the Lich King's notes one by one, and the classic painting methods given by Luo Jia are only those classic painting methods.
It is the simplest painting method and is also the classic painting method of poor ghost shield commonly used in mainland China.
Even if Gu Nansheng completely puts aside the papyrus in front of him and draws a classic scroll by himself, the similarity will reach more than 80%. What Gu Nansheng needs to do now is to study the spiritual energy structure of the remaining 20% of the array.
….
The amount of spiritual energy used by the thousands of magic circle symbols must be fully explored by oneself, and the difficulty can be imagined.
However, so far, Gu Nansheng has been able to decipher it smoothly. Every time he sees an unfamiliar arrangement of magic array symbols, some similar array diagrams appear in Gu Nansheng's mind like a slideshow, and some problems are easily solved.
The game lasted for ten hours, and the sky gradually darkened.
Luo Xue bit the pencil in her hand, pouted, and sorted out the array structures that were different from the classic drawing methods bit by bit. This time, she didn't know the test questions, which was really frustrating. She lost to the test questions last time.
I killed those two perverts and didn't know the test questions this time, so I might have lost even more miserably.
She glanced at Augustus secretly, only to see that the latter was concentrating on writing and drawing on the scratch paper, deducing the possible spiritual energy ratio of the array diagram.
Deciphering the scroll requires a lot of calculations and involves too much data and possibilities, so you have to resort to paper and pen.
Seeing Augustus writing without stopping, and listening to the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, Luo Xue was a little upset. Didn't this guy even need to think about it?
At nine o'clock in the evening, an enchanter finally took action in the hall. He was neither a senior and experienced fourth-level enchanter nor one of several young talents. He was just a little-known second-level enchanter.
The rotating sky disk was suspended in the air. He grabbed a Fire Tongue Fruit with his right hand and squeezed it hard. The red juice was squeezed out and dripped on the sky disk drop by drop, green spiritual energy
At the same time, it is injected into the sky plate, wrapping up the red liquid, and slowly refining it.
This enchanter has already started making magic circle paint.
As this enchanter started to take action, several second-level enchanters also took action one after another.
Benson and Luojia looked at each other, and Luojia shook his head slightly, "This test question is indeed a bit difficult for low-level enchanters. These people seem to be ready to give up deciphering."
Most of the enchanters present did not have outstanding qualifications. They knew that even if they spent ninety-six hours on the enchantment table, they would not suddenly be enlightened, so they simply drew a random scroll and handed it in.
The huge hourglass placed in front of the enchantment hall passed quietly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Nansheng calculated that ninety-nine percent of the deciphering had been completed so far. When he was about to start working on the last one percent anti-piracy structure, he suddenly discovered that there was a trace of inconsistency hidden in the deciphered scroll.
The "Lan" structure and the "Xun" structure are used together, and are connected by wedge-shaped energy tracks in the middle. This weird array pattern has never been seen similar to it even in the Lich King's notes.
If energy really flows in this way, the "Lan" structure and the "Xun" structure will continue to rebound the energy flow, and the wedge-shaped energy trajectory will become narrower and narrower, and the final result will be
Gu Nansheng's "color" changed slightly when he thought of this. He raised his head and glanced at Luo Jia, who was closing his eyes to rest. This old fox had indeed laid a trap.
He roughly estimated that this small trap accounted for 2% of the total number of magic scrolls. It would not be difficult to remove it, but in that case, the similarity would only be 98% at most. If it fails again,
Deciphering the 1% anti-piracy structure would only result in a final score of 97%, with a score of only 400, which is too little.
Then, this structural conflict must be resolved.
On the third day, most of the enchanters present were still working tirelessly on the calculations. With thousands of symbols, the workload was too great.
The little princess looked at the scattered calculation papers with an irritated expression. She really wanted to tear them all up, but when she thought of her father's anger, she still had patience and continued honestly.
Not far from the little princess is the fourth-level enchanter Berlin. He has spent a whole day on the 1% anti-piracy structure. He kept wiping his sweat with a white handkerchief and making calculations at the same time. Luo Jia
Guys, you actually added an array structure to this 1% of the array that only a sixth-level enchanter can draw. This is simply not going to be deciphered...
He raised his head and looked at the other fourth-level enchanters. They all had frowning faces. Then he looked at Gu Nansheng in the corner. He kept his head down and calculated, but he didn't know which step he had reached.
Berlin looked at the time and saw that there were still more than two days. If he continued to spend time on this piracy structure, he might not have enough time. Thinking of this, Berlin decided to abandon this piracy structure.
It is enough to guarantee 99% similarity.
At twelve o'clock at noon on the third day, a sullen Hassan stretched himself, placed the scroll on the enchanting table, patted his butt and left.
Merlin was puzzled and asked Hassan what was going on through a magical message.
Hassan laughed twice and replied with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Lord, the question is too difficult to decipher, so I randomly drew a poor ghost's shield scroll and handed it in, just to make it less ugly.
"
Hearing what Hassan said, Merlin looked helpless and waved his hand, "It's okay. Everyone has different abilities. Just do your best. If you can't wait, go back and rest."
"It's okay, I'm waiting to see the results."
Hassan played the role of commentator for Merlin, "Look at the first few first-level and second-level enchanters who started working, they all have similar plans to mine. Anyway, we can't make a finished product, so we might as well just do whatever we want.
Draw one and hand it in."
"As for the few third-level enchanters who have already started to take action, they all have something in mind. They are preparing to avoid the 1% anti-piracy formation. They should be able to come up with something at the end of the game, but they are thinking too high.
It’s impossible to separate.”
"Those level 4 enchanters who haven't taken action yet are all clamoring for the 1% anti-piracy diagram. Anyway, we still have plenty of time. With 1% more similarity, the score will be doubled."
Hassan is right. Those first level and level two enchanters who started the competition all had dejected expressions after finishing the competition. They obviously failed to pass the competition.
Merlin's five enchanters, except Feng Lao and Luo Ka, who claimed to be good at pirated drawings, all retreated.
"As for Augustus and Luo Xue, they should also be preparing to avoid the 1% anti-piracy array, but because their strength is still a little inferior to those of third-level enchanters, they have not been able to take action."
Merlin nodded with deep understanding, "What about Gu Nansheng? What do you think he is planning to do?"
Hassan glanced at Gu Nansheng, who had been calculating in the corner, "Mr. Gu, his level is too high to be evaluated based on common sense. I think he may have to challenge 100%."
Is it really that easy to achieve 100%? Although Merlin doesn't know how to draw scrolls, looking at Luo Jia's confident expression, he can vaguely guess that this 100% similarity must be difficult to achieve.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the little princess Luo Xue started to take action. She rubbed her painful temples. She didn't bother to straighten her messy hair. She took a white scroll and dipped it in with a painting pen.
She picked up the magic array paints and started the final painting. These paints were prepared by her a few hours ago.
She didn't have the ability to decipher the 1% anti-piracy pattern, so she had no choice but to bypass it.
At six o'clock in the evening, Luo Xue's eyes were a little sore, and she had already completed 60%. She moved her numb neck and felt that she was in pretty good condition. If she continued like this, would she finish the drawing before twelve o'clock in the evening?
Although the problem cannot be achieved 100%, there is still hope that it will not be a problem to get to 97 or 98.
Thinking of this, Luo Xue felt a little distracted and glanced at Gu Nansheng and Augustus. These two guys were still calculating and calculating. I cursed you for being so dizzy and forgetting the time that you didn't finish the painting in the end.
When Luo Xue was distracted by her thoughts, the sound of burning flames suddenly came from beside her.
She turned around and saw an enchanter staring blankly at the flaming synthetic scroll in front of her, bewildered and at a loss...
In the blink of an eye, the flames jumped onto the calculation papers scattered on the enchanting table, and the entire enchanting table burned.
Benson's figure in front of the stage flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the burning enchantment stage, raising his hand to put out the fire.
He said to the enchanter who looked depressed: "Haha, Mr. Ling, there are still more than thirty hours before the end of the competition, and there is still one chance."
The enchanter named Ling had a puzzled expression on his face, "What's going on? I feel like there's nothing wrong with my mental energy." After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with any results, so he had to get the materials and repeat the refining process.
Turned into magic paint.
He is a third-level enchanter, and his mental power is enough to draw two low-level composite scrolls in a row.
Mr. Ling's failure naturally attracted the attention of many people. August looked at the pile of ashes on the ground and slowly put down the pen in his hand.
Something is wrong. Generally, enchanters always have a problem with the success rate when drawing scrolls, but a third-level enchanter fails to draw low-level scrolls, which is a bit unexplainable.
In the past, many first- and second-level enchanters who gave up the competition did not fail, but a third-level enchanter failed. This is too abnormal.
August glanced at Gu Nansheng, who had been immersed in calculations. Did this guy not see anyone fail, or did he not realize the mystery behind it?
Looking at the other fourth-level enchanters, Berlin and Somo were deep in thought, while Feng Lao and Jerome were still calculating.
Seeing this scene, Augustus frowned slightly. Feng Lao and Jerome were the best among the fourth-level enchanters. They must have noticed the problem that they themselves were aware of.
However, they did not stop calculating. Could it be that Mr. Ling's failure was already expected by them?
In other words, they are already thinking of ways to solve this problem, but they have just become aware of it.
Thinking of this, Augustus's eyes turned to Gu Nansheng again. So this Gu Nansheng, could he also
August's eyes showed a trace of jealousy unconsciously.
He had been trying his best to study the one percent anti-piracy magic circle, hoping to improve his performance as much as possible.
However, Luojia shamelessly used the magic circle symbols that only a sixth-level enchanter could draw in the one percent anti-piracy diagram. Augustus tried his best but failed to come up with anything.
Chou Yinmao comes.
Half an hour later, another flame exploded, and a third-level enchanter looked at the scroll that had turned into ashes in astonishment, unable to say a word.
At this time, all the enchanters who were not stupid realized that there was a problem, but they had already taken action, so they could only bite the bullet and continue. All the enchanters were cautious, fearing that there would be a slight oversight in their mental power.
However, as time passed little by little, the flames symbolizing failure emerged one after another.
"Bang!" There was another muffled sound of flames igniting. The little princess bit her lip and looked at the pile of flames in front of her with a look of reluctance. It's impossible. My mental strength has always been right.
Luo Xue glanced at her father aggrievedly, but Luo Jia ignored her. He was talking to Benson about the possible outcome of this game.
The little princess kicked the enchanting table angrily. Humph, you ignored me on purpose, thinking that I really couldn't draw it. This girl didn't believe it!
When the little princess lost her temper, Augustus' hand holding the pen suddenly stiffened, and he finally understood the problem.
This scroll contains the "Lan" structure and the "Xun" structure that are rarely used in most scrolls. These two structures have no other function and are mainly used to rebound spiritual energy.
The mental energy bounces back and forth between the two structures, but the connected energy track is an increasingly narrow wedge-shaped structure, which will cause energy overflow, destroy the track, and even cause an explosion...
In other words, the "Lan" structure and the "Xun" structure combined with the wedge-shaped energy connection are a magic array designed specifically for self-destruction.
August suddenly realized that the real purpose of Luojia's question was to let the contestants find ways to replace the self-destructive magic circle without damaging the structure of the original scroll.
Augustus glanced at Lorca, then at the hourglass, and saw the last thirty hours.
Twenty-eight hours before the end of the game, Feng Lao took action.
In fact, he had already deciphered this scroll and replaced the hidden self-destruction magic array with another array with a stable structure.
It's just that he has always wanted to decipher the last one percent of the anti-piracy array. He has already figured out the function of this part of the array, which is to stabilize the two percent of the self-destruction magic array.
In other words, as long as one percent of the anti-piracy array is deciphered, 100 percent similarity can be achieved.
However, Luojia made seven rings of spiritual buckles on this one percent formation diagram. With Feng Lao's current strength, he could only make five rings at most.
Not long after Feng Lao took action, Jerome also took action. He put all the materials on the sky plate to refine them. For a fourth-level enchanter, refining magic pigments is as simple as eating and drinking water.
The start of these two people immediately attracted the attention of most people in the hall. However, Gu Nansheng kept his head down the whole time and never looked around.
He hadn't written for a long time, his outstretched fingers were frozen in the air, his face was slightly pale, and sweat was forming on his forehead.
