Chapter 13 Failure as a matter of course
“The spell model is three-dimensional and consists of spell nodes.
But if you want to cast a spell, it is not enough to have spell nodes alone. You must also connect the nodes with pathways strictly according to the spell model .
And from what we can see so far, there is a sequence in the connection and activation of nodes, but we don’t know whether this sequence can be changed or reversed.”
Mo Lan kept looking at the dozens of images in his mind that were constantly building spell models, analyzing them as he went along.
Now two days have passed since he settled down.
In two days, Mo Lan had built a simple wooden house with wood.
Use big trees as wall pillars, straight branches as thick as wrists as walls, and finally cover the top with wood + leaves + wood + leaves.
The hut was about ten square meters. Mo Lan built a bed, dug a pit and started a fire. A pot was placed on top, with pieces of meat boiling in the pot.
During this process, Mo Lan used the Wind Blade once every half an hour. While chopping trees and clearing obstacles, he also observed the casting process of the Wind Blade and tried to influence and change the process in a certain way to achieve a comparative effect, trying to find out the different effects of different variables on the spell Wind Blade.
In addition to this, Mo Lan posted several more posts during this period, including one about digging a large trap and one about building a wooden house in the forest.
Although he had only been on the hot list for more than an hour, this hour brought him considerable traffic, and the number of collections on his homepage exceeded five digits, reaching more than 20,000.
With more than 20,000 real collections, he has become a small content master.
"It's hard to gain anything just by watching. We still have to get our hands dirty and practice what we have."
Mo Lan muttered to himself, and specially sawed out a piece of wood next to the bed to serve as a table.
At this moment, a lot of things have been prepared on the table. On the left there are animal furs, papers, small wooden boards, and small stones.
The right side is basically filled with liquids, including ink, cinnabar ink, and two empty cups.
"The spell model is a three-dimensional model, and no matter what matrix it is drawn on, it is only a plane. So if you want to accurately draw the spell model, you must first establish a three-axis coordinate system.
x, y, z to set the origin, (0, 0 , 0). ”
Mo Lan muttered to himself, his hands moving non-stop, and he quickly drew the wind blade spell model based on the three-axis coordinate system on the blank panel that came with the game.
After activating the ink cartridge, Mo Lan was like a humanoid computer . While possessing powerful computing capabilities, Mo Lan's control over his body also reached a subtle level, as if he was really controlling a machine, extremely precisely.
Under this premise, although it is hand-drawn without the help of tools, the accuracy is no worse than that printed by computer.
After drawing the spell nodes, Mo Lan began to link the spell nodes following the reflection of the spell casting in his mind, and marked the serial numbers on the lines.
After a while, the spell model on the panel was completed. After checking that it was correct, Mo Lan took a deep breath and picked up a rough wolf-hair brush.
"The first group, animal skins and blood."
Mo Lan pulled out a blank notepad from the panel and started recording, and turned on the system's built-in camera.
After completing the preparations, Mo Lan picked up the rabbit with an injured leg on the ground.
Grab the rabbit's ears and cut its neck with a dagger. Red blood spurted out and fell into the empty cup.
The cup was quickly filled, and Mo Lan simply dipped the wolf-hair brush into the rabbit's blood.
The wolf-hair brush becomes dark red after absorbing blood. Spread out the animal skin with the smooth side facing up, press it flat and secure it in place. Measure the distance with your hand and then start drawing.
First, there were spell nodes one after another. There were seventeen nodes in total. Mo Lan easily pointed them out. They were exactly the same as those on the drawing board, as if they were printed out.
Mo·Human printer·Lan.
"Hope it works, huh."
Mo Lan pinched the wolf hair on the wolf hair brush to a point, then gently drew on the animal skin, connecting the nodes one by one.
Some points are only connected to one point, some are connected to three or four points, and the most points are connected to five nodes.
The five connected points were located at the center of the entire spell model. Mo Lan suspected that it was the most core node of the spell model and also a crucial node.
But it's just a feeling. Unfortunately, there is no evidence, and at present there is no means or method to verify it.
Because Mo Lan suspected that as long as he dared to lose any node, no matter how important it was, the spell model would go on strike, and might even explode in front of him.
Mo Lan's movements were extremely careful, and soon a complex but beautiful spell model appeared on the animal skin, which was fascinating.
But to Mo Lan's disappointment, he neither saw nor felt the fluctuation of the wind element at the moment the spell model was formed.
Obviously, animal skin + animal blood, a failure!
Mo Lan quickly adjusted his mindset. He had long known that figuring out the tricks of casting spells and learning how to cast spells would be a long and boring task, and there was no rush.
His mentality recovered instantly and he put the animal skin with the spell model painted on it aside.
"First group, second experiment: animal skin + human blood."
Mo Lan endured the pain and cut his left palm with a dagger. Drops of blood dripped into the empty cup until the blood was enough to draw a spell model.
Practice makes perfect. The second spell model was quickly drawn, but there was still no movement of the wind element.
"The first group, the third experiment, animal skin + cinnabar."
The experiment started again. The spell model drawn by Cinnabar was very beautiful, but the result was still a failure.
"The first group, the fourth experiment, animal skin + ordinary ink."
fail!
"The first experiment of the second group: paper + animal blood."
fail!
"The second experiment of the second group..."
…
Mo Lan drew the spell model again and again, patiently. He had memorized the spell model of Feng Ren by heart. Even without a reference, he could still draw it quickly and in a standard way. However, the experiment still failed.
The sky gradually darkened and then gradually brightened, and Mo Lan seemed to be immersed in the experiment.
Mo Lan finished all the experiments after daybreak, but looking at the pile of spell models beside him, he fell silent.
All of these were failures, none of them attracted the wind element in the environment, and none of them succeeded.
“I don’t know if it’s because of the bad materials or the wrong method.”
Mo Lan rubbed his eyebrows in pain.
“Wind Blade is the leopard’s innate spell, and the leopard is an extraordinary magical beast.
Does that mean I need to use extraordinary materials to activate the elements in the environment?"
"possible."
"Is it possible that my method is wrong? Drawing a spell model is not just about drawing it with a pen. Is there something else that needs to be done?"
"Also a possibility."
"But I feel that both of these speculations need to be verified, because they are likely to exist at the same time."
"Hey, come on."
