Warhammer Greenskin Inventor

Since arranging the development plan of the Southern World Mountains, Lin Mu has been staying in Tiefeng Castle, obsessed with studying the dwarf runes.

Although dwarves cannot use magic, there are still some cases among dwarves who can feel the existence of the eight magical winds. These great dwarf craftsmen, after thousands of years of continuous exploration, finally allowed the dwarves to master the eight magical winds. The method of wind is runic literature.

Speaking of runes, in fact, not only dwarves can use them, but also humans and elves. However, the rune magic of humans and elves can only communicate magic and ignite the wind of magic, while the rune magic of dwarves, But it can store the magical wind in the container for a long time.

The runes used by the dwarves are called Khazalid. This Khazalid is the unique language of the dwarves. The Haolai system gave Lin Mu the ability to understand all languages ​​in the world. Otherwise, even if Lin Mu gets these books, they will be of no use.

For dwarves, runes, even magic, are also their writings. Because the dwarves speak a variety of languages, this also leads to the fact that even dwarves with generally high education and literacy rates cannot understand all the runes.

This makes the dwarves even worse than the poorly educated and backward humans, because humans only have a few words and languages, while the dwarves have hundreds of words to describe gold.

In the golden age of the dwarves, in order to better communicate with the high elves, the dwarves specially invented runic writing. However, with the outbreak of the Longbeard War, this kind of writing was rarely mentioned by the dwarves.

Compared to the smoothness of humans and elves, most of the dwarf runes are sharp and angular, which also makes the dwarves reluctant to write their words on paper. Compared to parchment, the dwarves prefer to use knives to carve their words on it. On iron or rock walls, of course, if you really have no choice, paper can also be used.

Most of the rune books that Lin Mu obtained were forged from silver, and each page was as thin as a feather. This also showed how awesome the dwarves' forging skills were.

I heard from Kazador Fortitude Peak that the dwarves’ Book of Great Hatred was also forged from gold.

After Lin Mu's research and exploration every day and night, he finally got a glimpse of the edges and corners of dwarven runes. Rune magic is like hieroglyphs and a kind of magic circle.

If you want to add rune characteristics to a weapon, you need a main rune that matches the characteristics and a large number of auxiliary runes.

When a large number of auxiliary runes are arranged and finally form a complete magic circuit, then a rune array is completed, and a rune weapon may require hundreds of rune arrays. Most rune weapons have It was densely carved by rune blacksmiths.

These auxiliary runes must be able to react with the main runes in order to be considered successful. It is these three reasons that really help the development of rune weapons.

Rune blacksmiths, if they want to create a set of feasible and useful runes, must know a large number of rune characters. This requires rune blacksmiths to conduct a lot of rune learning, not to mention that some rune characters have long been lost. .

Then there is the arrangement of runes. After a rune blacksmith spends a lot of time learning characters, if he wants to find a runnable arrangement, it also takes a lot of time to try and make mistakes. Most rune blacksmiths spend their entire lives trying to find a rune arrangement. , and it is impossible to arrange a complete set of runes.

Furthermore, the carving of the runes is complex and cumbersome, and it will be immediately invalid if there is any slight mistake. The more powerful the rune weapon is, the more runes it will need.

Regarding these three questions, Lin Mu had an innate advantage, that is, Lin Mu could understand all the runes and there was no need to learn them by himself like the dwarves did.

There were only two problems that Lin Mu needed to overcome and solve. One was the ordering of the runes, and the other was the engraving of the runes. Lin Mu already had an idea for the engraving, but as for the arrangement of the runes, Lin Mu really needed it. Confusion at the end of the curtain.

In the lord's study, Lin Mu couldn't help but said frantically, "What kind of arrangement is reasonable? Why is it not mentioned at all in the book? Are these dwarves afraid that their runes will be lost quickly enough?"

Lin Mu could understand each of these runes, but he couldn't arrange them in an orderly manner. This made Lin Mu couldn't help but leave the dwarf book in his hand on the table.

"Hey~, forget it, let's go out for a walk, otherwise I might really be driven crazy by these rune books."

During this period, some goblins came to Tiefeng Castle one after another and began to build earthen kilns under the leadership of goblin cadres.

Since there is not enough transportation capacity, all blast furnace building materials must be sourced locally. Watch the boys skillfully dig holes in the mud and send bricks into the kiln, and goblins transport the fired bricks to the open space for stacking. , the goblins responsible for building the blast furnace will move the bricks away.

Lin Mu always felt as if he had caught something, but it seemed as if he had caught nothing. He just stood there motionless and watched the goblins work.

This is a hardship for the goblins, who dare not be lazy even if they want to be lazy, for fear of being seen by their boss.

Looking at the goblins who were constantly carrying bricks, Lin Mu suddenly thought of a possibility. The so-called auxiliary runes could be regarded as goblins, the magical wind was the bricks, and the main runes were the blast furnace that needed to be built. All the runes The ordering is not to put the main runes first and then the auxiliary runes, but the process is exactly the opposite. What is recorded in the dwarf books is wrong.

Just like mathematical addition, two addends are used to obtain an equal number. If it is reversed, and there are equal numbers first, then there will be countless different addends, which leaves the rune blacksmiths to only use Only through constant trial and error can you happen to find the right answer.

By analogy, several main runes want to be brought together, just like a chemical formula. Different runes represent different elements, like sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter, which can be made into gunpowder, and the runes representing the fire element will be combined. The combination of letters and runes representing the wood element can make the weapon burn, but the temperature will melt the weapon, so some other runes are needed to stabilize it.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a little excited, and even his breathing became a bit heavier. If what he guessed was true, it meant that he would master the dwarves' magic runes. This was not the most terrifying thing. It was terrifying. What's more, even dwarves without magic can become rune blacksmiths as long as they can understand runes and have sufficient knowledge of mathematics and chemistry.
