Chapter 38 Spell Structure Analysis
"Your name is Manniu? Hello."
The two men with bruised faces and noses fled in panic. Mo Lan walked up to Manniu and stretched out his hand.
"You, cough cough cough."
Manniu raised his hand and wanted to shake hands with Mo Lan, but halfway through he suddenly remembered something and immediately put it down, and his face became expressionless.
Seeing this, Mo Lan naturally put his hands away and said with a smile.
"Don't be so nervous. We are in the same team. I now feel that cooperating with you is the right decision."
Manniu's face was cold and expressionless, then he nodded heavily.
"Haha, has anyone ever told you that you are very interesting? Come to my shop more often when you have time."
Manniu looked at Mo Lan expressionlessly as he turned and left. After Mo Lan walked away, he tilted his head and scratched himself with his hand.
Mo Lan carried the animal skins to his small shop which had not yet opened.
In the store, Al was busy cleaning and arranging the display cabinets. The display cabinets that were originally a little dusty were wiped clean by him.
Seeing this, Mo Lan said nothing and just smiled.
“Did I sweep upstairs?”
"I'm done cleaning."
"Well , okay, prepare the meal before the sun sets."
As Mo Lan spoke, he opened the chat group and took a look, then continued.
"Yes, just for two."
"Yes, sir."
Looking at Al who never stopped for a moment, Mo Lan went upstairs with the materials.
The layout upstairs is very simple. There are four rooms, all of which have been tidied up by Mo Lan. The room with two windows facing the intersection and the room behind the Adventurer's Guild was arranged by Mo Lan as a bedroom.
A windowless room was used as a storage room, but now there was nothing in it except three empty wooden shelves and some charcoal.
The last room, facing the narrow alley, is the quietest and has a wooden table, serving as a study and studio.
Mo Lan carried the animal skins and blood directly into the studio, sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and completely relaxed.
A few minutes later, after his breath had completely calmed down, Mo Lan took out a piece of fire-attributed animal skin.
There are three pieces of fire-attributed animal skin in total. They are of different sizes and have irregular edges, but they are all roughly rectangular.
The piece that Mo Lan took out at the moment was the smallest, and it could probably be cut into a standard rectangular piece of animal skin.
The black hair on the animal skin was very short. Mo Lan didn't recognize the species. He stroked it gently, took out two pieces of wood to measure the size, and finally used a dagger to cut them one by one.
Finally, what appeared in front of Mo Lan was a rectangular piece of animal skin with the hair side facing down. He then used the skin as paper and the blood as ink. The front end of the silver-white wolf-hair brush was sharp and straight, and it was lightly sticky. The animal blood that would not coagulate immediately surged to the tip of the brush, turning the silver-white wolf-hair brush dark red.
The ink box in my mind slowly rotated like an armillary sphere, and the wolf-hair brush in my hand lightly tapped the animal skin.
The spell nodes quickly took shape, and thin blood lines connected them, one node, two nodes, three nodes...
The fire element solidified in the animal skin and blood was pulled out. Mo Lan used his mental power to try to actively pull the element to assist in the formation of the spell model.
After a while, a fireball slowly took shape. In the flames, the spell model was imprinted into the animal skin, and the hair on the animal skin disappeared, just like a thick piece of kraft paper, becoming ancient and settled.
The fire element on the animal skin was surging, but when the skin was rolled up, it immediately converged. Even if Mo Lan attached his mental power to the scroll, it was difficult to feel the fluctuations. The fire element on it became extremely restrained. He used a thin animal hair to tie up the animal skin, turning it into a new spell scroll.
Putting the spell scroll aside, Mo Lan felt his own mental energy slightly, and after estimating for a moment, he took out a piece of wind elemental animal skin.
The spell nodes of Wind Blade Spell are fewer than those of Fireball Spell, and the consumption is also much smaller. After a while, a Wind Blade Spell scroll was formed, and Mo Lan's mental energy was just at the bottom, not a point more or less.
“Just right!”
Mo Lan muttered to himself despite his exhaustion.
The dark green Wind Blade scroll was also tied up with animal hair and placed next to the Fireball scroll.
Mo Lan, who was depleted of mental strength, did not rest. Unable to afford paper, he opened the blank panel that came with the system, called up the records and screenshots left before, and muttered to himself.
"Last time we concluded that the first three nodes are the basis of every spell model. The forms may be slightly different, but the functions are exactly the same, whether it is a high-level Earthshatter or a low-level Wind Blade.
This leads to a conclusion that needs to be verified, which is one of the structural : spell guidance.
Inferred spell induction is the basis of all spell models. The function of spell induction is to draw on elemental power or serve as a channel to import and export magic power.
And without the spell guide, it is not a complete spell model."
Mo Lan created a document named "Spell Model Structure (tentative first version)"
Record the relevant inferences and three cases of the technique .
"The current problem is that there are too few samples. Next, we just need to find a large number of samples of spell models, and then verify the samples to determine whether this inference is correct."
"But this will take some time. For now, let's assume this is true. Under this premise, perhaps I can deduce the function of the latter part of the structure of the Fireball Spell."
A three-dimensional model of fireball magic took shape in Mo Lan's mind, allowing Mo Lan to enlarge, rotate and observe it.
After the spell was inducted, Mo Lan divided the complete fireball mage model into independent structures.
In Mo Lan's view, the spell model is composed of one structure after another, just like a car, with wheels, engine, shell, fuel tank, accelerator, brake, and steering wheel.
As long as we analyze every structure of the spell model, understand their composition, and clarify their functions, we may be able to increase the power of the fireball a little bit, just like changing the engine of a car, and freely control and adjust the fireball like driving a car.
Maybe if we just add a little more, the power of the current grenade can be turned into the power of Dongfeng Express?
Or after understanding the composition of the spell model, in the absence of a spell model, can Mo Lan also reverse-create the spell based on the effect he wants to achieve?
With this idea in mind, Mo Lan took the two simplest spells, Fireball and Wind Blade, as research objects. He decomposed the nodes of the two spells one by one, tentatively speculated on the structures one by one, and studied them bit by bit.
While researching, Mo Lan would stop as soon as his mental strength recovered and start drawing the spell scroll.
A scroll of fireball, a scroll of wind blade. After finishing the two scrolls, Mo Lan's mental power was completely exhausted.
Mo Lan discovered that every time he used up all his mental power, when he restored it, the amount of mental power would increase a little. Although it was very little, there was indeed a change.
Before finding other more effective ways to enhance his mental strength, even though depleting his mental strength would make his head feel extremely uncomfortable, he still persisted again and again.
That was it, until a few days later.
