Chapter 79: Chapter 78 “Magic Device Study” and “Talking to the Right Person ” (Seeking Chase Reading)

Milton Cheney was taking notes on a small notebook.

[Magic symbols overlay experiment – 42nd attempt: Successfully overlaid three magic symbols, fluorite showed no abnormal reaction, overlay effect unknown.]

Seeing Milton stop writing, Morton didn’t continue overlaying new magic symbols on this piece of fluorite, but put it aside.

Raw fluorite can only withstand an overlay of three magic symbols at most, any more would require a finished fluorite disk.

The reason for not directly using a fluorite disk for the experiment was straightforward – fluorite disks are pricier than fluorite.

Putting the fluorite aside, Morton picked up a fluorite disk and repeated the previous steps to overlay three magic symbols.

After the overlay was complete, Morton spurred his spiritual power, the fluorite disk flashed, transformed into a large fireball, and swiftly flew towards the distance, eventually exploding.

Fortunately, the fireball was directed towards the testing area of the laboratory, so it didn’t cause any disturbances.

“Record it!”

“Alright, Mentor.”

[42nd attempt: Successful overlay of three magic symbols, no unusual reaction, characteristics are fire, speed, explosion, power is below the Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.]

Finishing the experiment, Milton handed the notebook in his hand to Morton.

“Mentor, take a look.”

Morton received the notebook, glanced at it, then nodded.

“Mentor, normally with this kind of power, a minimum of nine magic symbols would be needed to be inscribed on the magic disk, right?”

Milton looked at Morton, who was reading the notebook, and asked curiously.

Morton nodded: “Hmm, the power of the magic disk under the overlay state is several times greater than an ordinarily inscribed magic disk, and the properties are richer and the activation time is shorter.”

At this point, he shook his head again: “However, the difficulty of inscription is also greater. A slight mistake in the details is intolerable, even with several auxiliary magics, the success rate is not high.”

“Of course, compared to real magic devices, these can only be considered child’s play.”

“Magic device?”

Milton had been in the school for nearly a year, and he had learned quite a bit.

In the past, he would have thought anyone could make a magic device.

Only now does he realize how naive that kind of thinking was.

Any magic device, even the lowest-ranked one, is extremely difficult to forge.

Wizards who can craft magic devices are called Magic Device Forgers, a highly respected occupation among wizards.

Those who can concoct magic potions are held in similar esteem.

Both magic devices and magic potions are undeniably important for a wizard.

As for Milton being able to get a Level 1 Magic Device, a Spatial Key, was truly a stroke of incredible luck.

“Are you interested in the study of magic devices?”

Hearing Milton mutter to himself, Morton opened his mouth with a smiling face.

Milton nodded, admitting he was not interested would be false. Crafting magical artifacts should be of interest to anybody.

At least for Milton himself, he was quite interested in forging magic devices.

“Then you’ll need to work hard. Right now you’re a long way from forging magic devices. Even the simplest task of inscribing mysterious symbols on a magic device is something you can’t do yet.”

Milton knew that Morton was not saying this to put him down, but because it was truly the case.

Even if there were a device prototype in front of him right now, he wouldn’t know where to start.

That’s because, aside from some shallow knowledge, he still had no clue how to forge a magic device.

“Mentor, have you ever successfully forged a magic device?”

“You’ve asked the right person…”

Upon hearing this, Morton’s eyes lit up, and he began to chatter excitedly.

“…of course, my most satisfying piece of work was the ‘Blackstone Magic Wand’ that was crafted four years ago, now this wand is in the hands of a real wizard!”

Milton nodded in agreement on the side.

It was his first time seeing this version of Morton, who was usually quite reserved.

But now, Morton seemed to have a switch flipped on, endlessly chattering.

Milton was quite interested in this, so he listened very diligently.

“Cough cough, alright, while there’s still time, you should go and prepare for the Mystic Realm.”

Seeing Milton in front of him staring at him, Morton coughed lightly and resumed his usual calm demeanor.

He wondered if he might have tooted his own horn a bit too much.

The Blackstone Magic Wand was indeed his creation, but there were also six other people who participated in the creation of this magic device.

“Alright, Mentor.”

Milton said goodbye to Morton and left the laboratory.

There’s less than a month left before the official trip to the Mystic Realm.

The actual time to stay in the Mystic Realm is two months.

The flow of time in the Mystic Realm is different from the outside world, not faster, but slower.

Two months in the Mystic Realm is actually equivalent to four months in reality.

However, if you practice the Meditation Technique in the Mystic Realm for two months, it’s roughly equivalent to practicing for eight months in reality.

If you add and subtract, it’s roughly a doubling of the meditation speed.

This increase is indeed a significant improvement for those with exceptional talent, but for Milton, this improvement is small.

After this Mystic Journey, Milton will have passed the school’s observation period.

That is to say, after this Mystic Journey, Milton won’t have to stay in the school all the time.

Of course, apart from the important thing in the Mystic Realm that Milton must obtain, there is one more thing Milton needs to verify.

That is how many Simulation Counts will accumulate over the two months in the Mystic Realm.

If it is according to the flow of time inside the Mystic Realm, then naturally it is two times without a doubt.

But if it is according to the flow of time outside the Mystic Realm, that is, the time flow in the Wizard Realm, then four months would naturally accumulate four Simulation Counts.

This needs to be verified by the real Milton.

After all, the Milton in the simulator cannot accumulate Simulation Counts.

Instead of returning to the Student Apartments, Milton went straight to the library in the school.

Morton didn’t tell him the specifics about the Mystic Realm, so Milton naturally needs to flip through some books related to the Mystic Realm here.

In fact, before this, Milton had already read quite a few books about the Mystic Realm.

So, in truth, he’s not entirely unfamiliar with the Mystic Realm.

The Mystic Realm is essentially some captured dimensional or planar space fragments.

When some worlds are shattered, they turn into countless space fragments. Some of these fragments are even as large as the Wizard Continent.

Of course, small fragments form smaller Mystic Realms. The White Rose

Sanctuary that Milton is going to this time around is a small Mystic Realm.

Milton casually took a book titled “The Wizard’s Tour of the Mystic Realm of Kadmio” from the shelf and found a place to sit down and start reading.

Reading more books is always beneficial, after all, you never know when he might suddenly need to use the knowledge from the books.

For a wizard, realm and magic are undoubtedly the most important.

Following that, it’s not magic devices, not magic potions, but knowledge.

Of course, this is on the premise that two wizards have the same realm.

A Level 1 Wizard, no matter how much knowledge they possess, is as ineffective as a bug trying to topple a tree when facing a Level 2 Wizard..
