Chapter 24: Levitation Array

Chapter 24: Levitation Array

"Damn it, it's so annoying!"

Anel crumpled up the parchment in front of him in annoyance.

It is easy to leave a magic mark on the envelope, but it is a very time-consuming task to try to use magic to draw a completely new magic circle.

"The magic mark can be retained... because the patterns in this part make it difficult for the magic to dissipate... Oh my god, what a mess!"

“Boom boom boom!”

There was a knock on the door, and Arnel shouted irritably, "Come right in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bruno pushed the door open.

"how's it going?"

"There's some progress, but it's still a long way from success... I tried to split the magic mark into different parts. I was able to draw a rough outline of the magic circle that causes the magic to stick for a long time, but I still have no idea how to design a floating magic circle..."

"I think it's the right idea to start by splitting the magic mark."

"What do you think we should do?" Arnel asked suddenly.

"Me? I'm not a mage..." Bruno rolled his eyes, "...I'm a complete layman when it comes to these mage things. I just feel that the levitation array may be achievable, but whether it can be drawn or not, my opinion doesn't count..."

"Actually... when you first proposed this concept, I was only half-believing, but I was paid by you after all, so I planned to give it a try. But..." Anel paused for a moment, then continued: "When I really carefully decomposed the structure of the magic mark yesterday, although it was a little unbelievable, I felt more and more that your idea might really be correct."

"Look..." Arnel picked up a blueprint from the messy desk, "I split the magic mark into these parts..."

Arnel pointed at the pattern and said, "This... I call it a magic-fixing array. Although I don't understand why, the structure of this array can preserve magic for a long time. I tried it yesterday. This part of the structure is the only one among these parts that can exist independently without relying on magic marks..."

"Also... this is the switch part you mentioned yesterday..."

"There is also this structure. I don't understand why... but it will continue to slowly consume magic power and release it back into the air... The point that I am most confused about is here. Since the mage hopes that the magic mark can be preserved for a long time, why does he set up a structure specifically for consuming magic power..."

"So I tried to remove this device yesterday, but once the magic mark loses this structure, it will dissipate immediately..."

At this moment, Bruno just wanted to tell Arnel loudly... This structure is equivalent to a large resistor. If you remove it, won't the magic mark be short-circuited immediately? However, Bruno couldn't say it directly. Not to mention electricity, the first industrial revolution couldn't even be seen in this world. "Ahem, maybe..." Bruno tried to organize his words, "This structure you are talking about...maybe for...uh..."

Damn, Bruno himself doesn’t quite understand, how can I explain it! “Anyway… forget it, I always feel that this structure is not the point! When you design the levitation array, just add a few of these structures and try it out, and you will know…” Bruno evaded the question casually.

"Since you have separated the magic mark, then it shouldn't be far from the levitation array, right?"

"But I have no idea... The solid magic array must be preserved, but the rest... the magic mark only needs to gather the magic in the air, so that even ordinary people can feel the fluctuations of magic when they touch it. However... the levitation array requires the array to replace the mage, and the levitation spell can be continuously performed through the magic stored in the solid magic array... How can the array wave the staff and chant the spell?"

"As for this point... I do have an idea. Let me tell you my idea first and see if it works..." Bruno said uncertainly.

"You say." Arnel said quickly.

In Bruno's opinion, Arnel was stuck in a dead end at this time.

After all, in the cognition of people in this world, to cast magic, one must chant spells and wave a staff, but... Bruno is an intruder from another world after all, so he is more accustomed to using the thinking of later generations to explain the things he faces... Even for supernatural phenomena such as magic, Bruno feels that he can use other ideas to explain...

"For example, if the reason you can cast magic is not because of the spell you chant..."

"How is this possible?" Anel asked in surprise before he finished speaking.

"Don't talk yet, just listen to me first..." Bruno said helplessly, "Suppose... I mean suppose, suppose the spell you chant when you cast magic is not due to the spell itself, but because the specific magic power in the air vibrates when you chant the spell, thus forming a 'magic flow'..."

"I can roughly understand specific magic power, which is the magic power mobilized when releasing different magic, but what the hell is 'magic flow'?"

"If you interrupt me again, I will deduct your salary!" Bruno glared at Arnel unhappily.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"oh……"

Seeing that Arnel remained quiet, Bruno continued, "This flow of magic will gradually be transmitted to your staff after it is generated, and then it will release magic after accumulating to a certain level. If this assumption is true, it means that even if you don't chant magic or wave your staff, when the flow of magic reaches a certain level, it will produce a magical effect."

"You mean, if this kind of... uh... magic flow really exists, then I can't understand that... the magic circle actually plays the role of a magic wand?"

"That's what I meant." Bruno nodded. "As for the flow of magic power...how do you draw the magic mark?"

"I told you before that we mages have a strong affinity for the magic in the air. Plus, the staff is made of a special material, so it's easy to absorb the magic onto the staff. Then we can just use the staff to draw the magic mark."

"In short... this is the general idea I think, but it may not be correct. You can try it according to this idea. After all... I'm an outsider!" Bruno said.

"Although I can't tell the reason, I vaguely feel that... the magic flow you mentioned may really exist..." Arnel looked at Bruno thoughtfully.
