Chapter 66 Inscription Inscription Pattern
In the 766th year of the Terra calendar, the season of red leaves is in the middle.

In the afternoon, the lecture hall.

At this time, almost all the students had already left. Even Elder Purdue had tested some of Ian's knowledge points not long ago. After getting a satisfactory answer, he went to the front line outside the city to negotiate with the Viscount on the distribution of the imperial capital's supplies.

But Ian happened to be thinking about a question about the inscription, and he didn't want to interrupt his train of thought, so he stayed alone in the classroom.

Inscriptions, also known as runes, are a skill that originated in the dwarves and eventually spread to the races of Terra.

The root of inscriptions, as the name suggests, is built on 'words'.

If you want to learn, you must first learn to read and write.And this is also the difficulty that bothers beginners of inscriptions the most.

On the continent of Terra, except for some dialects of various ethnic groups and countries, basically the same language is commonly used, which is also called the "universal language".

It is said that this language has been commonly used in the pre-epoch civilization, so even if the ancestors of the mainland countries are scattered in various places, they can communicate normally when they meet.

Even the dialect of the aboriginal language is essentially a distorted, extremely dialectized and omitted lingua franca—at least a few words are still understandable.

The characters of the Common Language are composed of various geometric figures. Compared with symbols, they are more like paintings, and they are not so much a kind of natural characters, but more like a special code.

According to the fact that the pre-epoch civilization already used this language, Ian has a bold guess, that is, the pre-epoch civilization of the Terra continent is a highly developed and unified advanced civilization that has eliminated various primitive natural languages.

The common language is the 'Esperanto' created by the other party.

And the foundation of the inscription lies on this 'universal language'.

Specific etching patterns, raised stripe structures, and various regular and complex geometric figures can induce fluctuations in the natural spiritual energy field, which has been proven by various scholars.

And the flesh and blood structure of the monster, and the various strange and extraordinary phenomena that the bone lines can induce are powerful proofs.

The inscriptions are the art of artificially reproducing natural phenomena and the extraordinary power of monsters by learning to reproduce these lines on various materials.

The inscription craftsman and inscription scholar are high-level professions that require skilled craftsmanship and extensive knowledge to improve.

Coincidentally, the text of the Common Language is extremely similar to the overall structure of the inscription—or, in other words, the Common Language itself is an extremely simplified inscription that omits all complicated parts.

"Real inscriptions have extremely high requirements on the depth and width of the lines, and the concave and convex lines are two different research directions. Some advanced inscriptions themselves are a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure, which requires various complex methods. Hollow out and miniature engraving, those who lack spatial imagination will make mistakes even according to the pictures."

"Besides, special inscriptions also require special ink filling to work."

Ian closed his notebook, lost in thought.

To reproduce, utilize, and learn different extraordinary structures is the essence of inscriptions, and only those with a good memory have the basis for learning inscriptions.

As it happens, Ian's memory is quite good.

For more than a month, he has proficiently mastered the reading and writing of the common language of Terra. This is also thanks to Ian's mother in this life. She is a smart and literate woman. Ian had already laid a little foundation when he was young. , which makes it easy for him to learn, and he doesn't need to spend time getting used to it.

One hundred and three most basic inscription styles are also engraved in the heart, and they will never be forgotten no matter what.

But the distance between learning to read and write common language, mastering several inscription structures, and being truly proficient in inscriptions is equivalent to being asked to write poems in seven steps just after learning how to write from one to ten; Riemann conjecture.

Among other things, 'Optics and ink science' is a big problem.

If the inscription is the engine, and the light ink is the gasoline, the inscription can certainly trigger changes in the natural spiritual energy field, but it does not have power itself, and needs to be filled with light ink to create a real effect.

The original light ink is the blood of various monsters, the liquid containing the power of the source, but just like lighting firewood for cooking, if you want to drive a rocket ship, the fuel you need must not be selected coal.

"Only understand the effect of inscriptions, can only re-engrave, depict inscriptions, can only be regarded as an inscription craftsman. Only those who master the basic structure of inscriptions, learn how to reorganize inscriptions, create new effects, and even be able to equip themselves with specific light inks, can be regarded as inscription craftsmen. A true inscription scholar."

"However, Port Harrison has only artisans, not scholars."

After studying for more than a month, Ian has mastered some basic inscription construction. After a lot of practical exercises, he can also go to the front line to maintain the alchemy artillery and various Inscription machinery.

This can only be regarded as an introduction, and it is said that apprentices are reluctant, but even Elder Pu De, who is a teacher, just has more inscriptions and is more proficient in repairing inscriptions than them, there is no difference in essence.

Apprentices and journeymen.

But it is enough to be treated by nobles.

"The course is coming to an end, and there are two weeks left, but I don't have much to learn."

Nodding slightly, Ian stood up and was about to leave the small building.

Although it is only the most basic part, Elder Purdue's courses have indeed laid a solid foundation for him. At least he is no longer ignorant of alchemy and inscriptions. If he encounters relevant documents and materials in the future, he can learn by himself .

"Accumulating the source quality of the source seed is a time-consuming process. Inscriptions and alchemy also require a long period of accumulation. I have entered the bottleneck period."

After condensing the source seeds, Ian's past physical deficits have been quickly made up for. With the nourishment of the food containing the source essence, he has never been healthier than before.

After more than a month of training, he even felt that his body had completely transformed, his pores had become finer, his skin looked fair and delicate, but in fact it was quite flexible, his internal organs had also been strengthened, and his digestion ability had greatly increased. Difficult movements become easier and simpler. Ordinary people who want to tie him with ropes or shackles will easily break free.

Because he was still young, he couldn't rashly strengthen his muscles, but even so, because of sufficient nutrition, Ian's strength and endurance were also considerably enhanced.

If it was him now, when he met the three indigenous hunters who attacked him and Brin back then, he wouldn't need Brin to attract attention for him to sneak attack, and he would be able to suppress the opponent head-on, and even kill one or two.

But now this level is the limit.

The sublimation of the liver is on the right track, but it will be completely completed at the end of the year. At that time, Ian has the most basic qualifications to take potions. Otherwise, just touching many potion ingredients is enough to poison ordinary people like him. for beginners.

You know, for the sake of stability, ordinary practitioners will even spend several years sublimating their internal organs before considering taking potions for the final transformation.

Ian was able to advance so much in advance, entirely because of Hilliard's detailed planning for him.

"It's time to prepare for hunting, or to pick up some materials of Warcraft to prepare for the future."
