Scales of Eternal Order

“The one-eyed and crooked mouth have planted the last beacon,” Blatche said straight to the point as he walked into Sneijder’s laboratory.

“Wait a minute,” Steampunk Semi-Lich replied.

At this moment, he is using his eyes with large lenses to observe the latest experimental subjects. Half Lich’s mechanical fingers are covered with small pointed finger cots, which are equipped with hair-like needle points. He was debugging something that looked like a mechanical wasp, and that thing would flutter its transparent wings made of gold leaf as soon as it was poked by a needle.

“I’m almost done, too,” Sneijder was still doing the final adjustments, his fingers seemed to be dancing a weird dance, so that the needle tip would pass in and out of the device accurately. , “This is a’relay construct’ made from a design drawing that Shay gave me. With their help, the cross-plane Transmission Gate I will construct can achieve’distributed’ delivery.”

After one third hourglass, Half Lich finally finished the work at hand. The mechanical wasp that had just been tuned up finally flew smoothly, and along with hundreds of the same relay structure, flew out along the door of the laboratory.

For ordinary spellcasters, spending three days and nights to assemble those constructs will definitely drain their energy. But this level of work intensity is not a burden to half of Lich. After finishing, still full of vitality.

He took out two pencils and listed on a piece of paper a few incantions that will be used-these all are a new incantion that Sneijder invented temporarily, just for this particular Prepared every moment-then, he melted a piece of squid ink, put a metal nib on the pencil, dipped in the ink and transcribed a few thoughtful incantions.

Changing an incantion to use it for another purpose is not as simple as changing the words and gestures somewhere. The caster must have a very deep understanding of the principle of incanation, know what it reveals, and how it reveals it.

If you change a gesture at will, or remove blindly burning incense, then the result of the spell will usually be defeated, and the magical power will disappear. But generally speaking, in addition to frustrating the person who casts the spell, failure to cast the spell will not cause any serious consequences. Of course, there are exceptions, and sometimes failed incantion will fail in a very exaggerated form.

This means that although the result of incantion is not what the caster wants, the magic has indeed produced an effect, even very close to the final desired result. The magic is trying to fix some difficult to find Error, trying to make things happen.

So, the more highly accomplished master in Austrian law, the more he will consider it before trying a new incantion. Because if those half-hearted wizards fail, they will blow their palms and destroy their brains at best. And if there is a problem with their incantion, then it is possible to destroy a city, a country… or even worse.

“There should be no problem,” he said to Blatche, who was waiting. Because the desert elf is also a voice sorcerer, he understands how cumbersome the mage’s preparations are before casting spells, so he is not at all impatient and appears very patient.

Sneijder took the paper in his hand and silently memorized the modified incantion above. This incantation not only retains the basic framework of the cross-plane Transmission Gate, but also adds a sub-factor to it, allowing it to open an Otherworld Gate near the controlled repeater structure. This is to ensure that the entrances of the Transmission Gates of the island world will not interfere with each other.

Due to the strong logistics capabilities of the Eternal Order Scales Chamber of Commerce, although Sneijder’s laboratory was established in a relatively barren area, his storage room has a very complete range of casting materials, including a full cabinet of spices And medicinal herb for casting spells, as well as all kinds of ground precious gems, everything is available. Half Lich picked out the amethyst from it and drew the outline of the magic array on the experimental table. Then fill it with charged powder crystals, and then use a rune pen that can pull out the wire to outline the runes.

Incantation is formed in his mind and becomes a warm ball of energy. He could feel it condensing within the body, and colorful waves appeared on the surface of the sphere. This is the core of spell, and the caster usually releases it quickly, allowing it to change the reality to what he wants.

It’s just that Sneijder does not at all. He also adds the attributes he wants to the core of the spell, and lets it look for the beacons and various repeaters. position. In response, the hum of the sphere suddenly rose, waiting for him to release and command. “Open the door,” said Half Lich, “open the door that connects the island world and Ramsay.”

With a sound like an eggshell breaking, the core of spell is released from his within the body and penetrates Real world, begin to execute the caster’s commands. A blast of air surging, Sneijder stared at the magic array on the test bench, and all the runes sparkled. Several repeater structures received spell fluctuations one after another, and Otherworld Gate opened successfully.

A few repeaters opened the door. On the opposite side was a vast white world. The cold wind passed through the trans-plane Transmission Gate, leaving a thick solid snow blanket in front of the door. It is the gate connecting the conscription offices of the polar bear tribes of the island world. There are also a few repeaters opposite the gate, revealing dense bushes, and under the deep green evergreen trees stand an army of camel men in a square array. There is no doubt that this is the Otherworld Gate connecting the original camel empire.

Sneijder was nodded, but when he projected his attention on the last repeater, the two exhaust pipes behind the steampunk half Lich burst out Tuan Steam, “Uh…it seems to have opened the wrong door.”

On the other side of the Otherworld Gate, salty sea water flows out like a blowout, and a mirror-like Transmission Gate appears on the opposite side. The evil pitch black. Through the control of spell, Sneijder “sees” the scene opposite the Transmission Gate: all kinds of creatures, with animal heads, some eyes burning with flames, and some with manta rays, octopuses or large Limbs of crustaceans. These weird things are all singing together, and among them is a benthic magic fish with seven pairs of gills.

It turned out that Sneijder accidentally connected to a Transmission Gate of the benthic magic fish empire in the deep ocean of the island world. In order to make up for his mistake, Half Lich raised an arm and chanted a short and clear incantion. Lightning jumped at his fingertips in vain. This is not the kind of plastic-energy lightning released by ordinary wizards, and even the strongest lightning in summer rainstorm can’t match it.

This is a beam of lightning that originated from the element itself. It jumped out of Sneijder’s fingertips, and Kore drilled out of his laboratory, splitting the cold air, and hitting like a thousand miles. Hit the repeater structure that opened the wrong door.

When magical energy cuts through the air, the air itself is broken into the most basic elements. Where the lightning passed, the smell of the air became pungent and bitter, and the air flow rolled and refilled the space previously occupied by the lightning. A strong light and metallic sound appeared at the other end of the Transmission Gate, blowing up the strange seabed that was still holding a ceremony.
