Dulan held the mage contract and pressed the ring finger of his right hand to the center. A golden flower bloomed from the contract and wrapped Dulan's right hand.
The parts other than the flowers began to burn slowly.
The entire contract was quickly burned to ashes and scattered at Dulan's feet. The flower wrapping Dulan's right hand turned into golden light and merged into Dulan's wrist.
Dulan lifted up his sleeves and found a small round head on his wrist.
"Technical Mage Bourne is at your service, my dear lord."
A young voice sounded in Duran's ear.
He took a step back and looked down.
I saw a little orange flame suddenly burning on top of the ashes. The flame grew longer and higher. After a while, a red-beaked bird happily flew out of the flame.
The little bird flew around Dulan several times, and finally turned into a red-robed wizard who was shorter than him and stood in front of Dulan.
The red-robed wizard bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Are you a technical mage?" Dulan looked at the handsome young man in front of him curiously, "Then how do you know how to transform?"
The red-robed wizard smiled slightly: "Lord, I have a quarter of Firebird blood, and I am born with a secondary transformation technique. But this is just a little trick, showing off my shame. As for my own profession, I am a
A technical mage in the golden realm. I may not be able to help you much in battle, but my natural ability gives me more convenience in the process of studying spells. I am also good at making low-level arcane puppets or constructs.
, provided you have enough materials."
"The Supreme Council really didn't trick me this time..." Dulan thought in his heart, looking at the young red-robed wizard in front of him. Duran simply liked it more and more. Later, Bourne's smiling face even became a little unnatural.
stand up.
Technical mages are a type of wizard, a heterogeneous genre among mages, almost as rare as 'sword-wielding wizards'. They are good at solidifying spells on various objects, and applying magic to daily life, military warfare, etc.
Field. They advocate the adaptation and transformation of spells, rather than the powerful power of witchcraft itself.
The ability of technical mages is a type of alchemy. However, the things they create, whether they are constructs or magic equipment, are neither enchanted nor inlaid with runes. They are simply solidified spells. This has a negative impact on the items carrying spells.
There are very high requirements. Many materials cannot withstand the solidification of high-level spells, so wizards of this school have very demanding requirements on resources.
In terms of adaptability, technical mages are indeed not an easy school to spread. So in the long history, the wizards of this school gradually disappeared on the Feinan continent. The White Tower wizards, the Black Witch Guild, and the Rainbow School
It has gradually become the mainstream in the mainland wizarding world. These three represent the three magic fields of [Laws and Energy Evocation], [Psychic and Illusion], and [Elemental Fusion and Gain] respectively.

"Although the technical mages of the gold level are basically equivalent to the white tower wizards of the silver level in terms of combat ability, they are still very good at making magic equipment." Dulan pondered for a moment and asked: "What can you make?
Equipment? I mean above low light."
The red-robed mage said proudly: "I can make a lot of low-light equipment, about ten kinds, suitable for many types of soldiers. As for magic equipment, I only know two kinds at the moment. If you can find the corresponding magic for me,
If the equipment is for me to disassemble or simply the blueprints for making magic equipment, after a period of study, I think I should be able to complete the production of most magic equipment."
"But it must be pointed out that the shimmering and magic equipment made by our technical wizards consumes far more materials than ordinary production methods, because we use permanent solidification methods. Of course, they are made through this method
The power of the equipment will be much stronger."
"This is the list of shimmering equipment and magic equipment that I am currently making."
Bourne took out a wrinkled and yellowed piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Duran.
Duran took the piece of paper and unfolded it. There were many words densely written on it in Common Language.
——Glimmer equipment list:
[Arcane Ring]: Can release an arcane missile every half hour. Wisdom +0.4
[Bracelet of Misfortune]: Can release misfortune once every hour. Will +0.3
[Giant Power Belt]: Can activate the power of a giant once every hour for five minutes. Strength +0.5
[Golden Wand]: It has the ability to turn stones into gold, but the items that have been turned into gold will become invalid within one hour.
[Sleeping Gem]: Can release sleeping spell three times a day. Agility +0.6
[Wind Cloak]: Provides five acceleration spells per day. Agility +0.7
…
The long list of low-light equipment dazzled Dulan. Most of the low-light equipment written on it have very excellent attributes. For example, the arcane ring and the one in Dulan's hand were obtained from the old blacksmith's library.
Compared with the ring, not only the arcane missiles are released much faster, but also in terms of attributes. The attributes of low-light equipment such as the Wind Cloak and Sleeping Gem are simply extremely powerful and can play a role in low-level battles.
decisive role.
Dulan raised his eyes: "How many days does it take you to make a piece of low-light equipment?"
The red-robed wizard kindly reminded: "Lord, even these low-light equipment require a lot of high-quality materials..."
Dulan replied without hesitation: "I understand, I just need you to tell me, if I don't interrupt the supply of high-quality materials, how many days will it take you to make a piece of shimmering equipment?"
Bourne said decisively: "The production time of each piece of low-light equipment on this list is actually about the same. If I go all out, I can make two pieces of low-light equipment every week!"
"Two pieces a week, that's very fast." Dulan thought for a while, two pieces a week, that's eight pieces a month, and at least hundreds of pieces in a year. If there are a hundred pieces of low-light equipment,
Equipping your own people with equipment will obviously greatly enhance their combat capabilities.
But he didn't make a decision in a hurry, he set his sights on the magic equipment list.
——
[Arcane Impact Puppet]: Arcane Impact Puppet with low intelligence. Standard equipment: arcane ray (spell), impact turbulence (spell), meteor hammer (external weapon), long knife (external weapon), mechanism cold arrow
(Built-in weapon, can quench poison)... Power source: magic stone, elemental stone
[Anti-Gravity Shoes]: The gravity multiplier can be adjusted, ranging from 0.1 to 10. It consumes a lot of magic power.
[Enorphes Magic Carpet]: It can fly long distances and consumes a lot of magic power.
These three pieces of magic equipment are considered to be the best in Duran's opinion. The Arcane Impact Puppet is an excellent fighter and can be freely matched with various equipment and weapons; the ability of anti-gravity shoes is even more coveted. As for
The magic carpet of Enorphes is also a very contained thing.
"Lord, if you want to enhance your strength, I suggest you let me make an arcane impact puppet. Believe me, the arcane puppet I make must be the best!" the young red-robed wizard suggested proudly.
arrive.
Who knew that Dulan actually shook his head and said with a smile: "To be honest, these three pieces of magic equipment are all very good, but the only thing I don't need is the Arcane Impact Puppet."
Bourne said strangely: "Why? Do you think arcane puppets are useless? Maybe you haven't seen the power of the arcane impact puppets I made. If you have enough materials..."
Duran waved his hand to interrupt the other party: "Don't worry about the materials. The reason why I don't need your arcane puppet is because I have this!"
Bourne followed Duran's hand and looked towards it, showing a hint of joy: "This...is this a mature mage tower?"
Duran smiled and took Bourne into the first floor of the Tower of Shadows.
"Number 47, light all the dim candles in the lobby on the first floor!"
Under Duran's order, the hall suddenly lit up with very bright candlelight.
Under the huge crystal chandelier, the solidified [dust-free] floor looked extremely clean. What shocked the red-robed mage was that there were hundreds of steel structures as tall as one person in the hall!
"These, these things are..." Bourne walked over with some difficulty, stretched out his hand and touched the surface of the construct, showing a trace of obsession.
"These are steel structures made by the legendary mage Raven King. I believe that the combat capabilities of these structures should be no worse than your Arcane Impact Puppet, right?" Duran said with a smile.
The red-robed mage could hardly speak. His eyes were full of wonder: "These structures look very old, but now, they are so well preserved!"
"If we can find a way to control them... I simply can't imagine that scene. This, this is really perfect." Bourne checked the rune construct made by Ravenkin up and down, his eyes glowing with gold:
"Unlike my arcane puppets, their bodies are not only solidified with spells, but also inlaid with many precious gems. They can actually use runes as a source of power. This is simply ingenious!"
"That's true." Duran said, "It's a pity that these rune constructs must be controlled by rune mages."
Bourne showed a disappointed look: "So, Lord, do you already have a rune mage under your command?"
Duran nodded. The reason why he chose Ironhide to inherit Ravenkin's rune mage inheritance was to ensure that these constructs could be firmly in his hands. The ogre's loyalty is unquestionable.
, whose talent is also very outstanding.
"Although Ironhide is currently only a silver wizard, with his talent and IQ, he should be able to be promoted to a gold wizard soon. By then, these constructs should be useful," Duran thought.
While standing, he said to the red-robed wizard: "Because of these constructs, I am not particularly interested in arcane puppets."
"But I want a pair of anti-gravity shoes in the near future. If I give you enough materials, how long will it take?"
Bourne pondered for a moment and replied: "Two weeks at most."
