Chapter 28: Endless Learning, Endless Work
If a composite rune is just the overlapping projections of two different runes, then there will be countless ways to solve it. Fortunately, Thor reread the "Introduction to Rune Construction" and discovered the basic conditions that he had not noticed before.
With these conditions met, the three-dimensional structure diagram of the composite graphic was finally determined.
The planes where the two runes are located overlap in the three-dimensional space, and their sizes are equal, so the magic power distributed should actually be evenly distributed.
If you really distribute the magic power between the two pictures according to the size ratio seen by the naked eye, you are doomed to fail.
Thor held up the three-dimensional picture he had just drawn in both hands, closed his eyes and began to draw it in his mental space.
About an hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of excitement.
"Choked! I did it!"
Then a feeling of fatigue almost made Thor collapse to the ground.
The construction of a compound rune actually consumed all his magic power?
How could he cast a 0th-order spell? Thor was panicking. Could it be that his magical talent couldn't even support the simplest spell? "Calm down, this is my first time constructing a compound rune. Maybe a lot of my magic power was wasted."
Unfortunately, his magic power was exhausted and he couldn't try the second construction immediately. He could only take out the crystal ball and start meditating.
“Swish!”
The bright candlelight awakened Thor from his meditation.
He looked sideways, "Someone's alive."
It was painful to have his studies interrupted, but this job was the cornerstone of his changing his destiny. The conveyor belt hummed, and new bodies appeared in front of Thor through the tassels.
In order to relieve fear and pressure, Thor chose to call these corpses guests, just like going home alone late at night and always wanting to hum a song.
"Well, this guest died a tragic death."
It was more like a pool of minced meat than a corpse, with bone fragments mixed in with the minced meat and fragments of internal organs.
There is also a large piece of leather with raised edges underneath to hold it up, otherwise the liquid would flow out.
Thor selected a clamp from the array of tools behind him.
He looked around and saw that the minced meat was covered with tiny flashes of light. They were very faint, and he knew at a glance that they were not valuable, so it didn't matter if he threw them away.
Thor endured the discomfort, bent over and carefully pulled it out.
However, to his surprise, those glittering fragments were not fragments of the corpse, but some fine powder.
Thor changed to a smaller pair of tweezers and picked out a few larger pieces of white powder.
In the flesh and blood, they actually still maintained their original color and were not dyed red.
He took his time to collect a small handful, and his waist became sore.
Thor kept a little and wrapped the rest in brown paper and put it in a small box on the long table behind him.
Thor gathered the remaining parts of the body and poured them all into the large box at the bottom with his hands, then closed the lid.
The box seemed to have the effect of isolating odors, and the smell of blood in the room immediately dropped a few degrees.
The candlelight on the portal is still bright.
There is still life.
Thor pulled the wrench and watched the conveyor belt bring his next customer.
The guest was a little girl who looked no more than five or six years old.
Thor tilted his head, feeling a little reluctant.
How could there be such a small girl in the wizard tower?
He had never heard of any wizard getting married and having children here.
Unfortunately, death is always fair to everyone and will not let anyone go just because people feel sorry for it.
Thor let out a long breath, straightened his head and attitude, and continued to observe the corpse using semi-immersive meditation.
"No, she's not a little girl."
After careful observation, Thor made other discoveries.
"The teeth and bones don't look like a child's."
Thanks to the knowledge from the book "The Corpse", Saul gained some ability to distinguish.
"It should be an apprentice. Due to the influence of some witchcraft, his appearance has changed into that of a child, but his internal organs and bones are still those of an adult."
Although he knew that it was a bit unfair to the woman in front of him, Thor's tense heart still felt a little relaxed.
He finished quickly and put the rest into the big box below.
The lights on the portal were still bright.
"Alas, there is still work to do..."
The third guest must have experienced a battle. There were many marks of knife and axe hacking on his body. His head was pierced and the black conveyor belt underneath could be seen.
After finishing his work, Thor looked up.
The light is still on.
Why is there more?
He suddenly looked up at the time and found that it was already half past six.
Half an hour was not enough for him to carefully examine the entire body.
However, the amount of materials he submitted today was sufficient, so he could just deal with this customer casually in the end.
The last guest appeared with the sound of a rumbling conveyor belt.
She is a plump woman.
She might have died from some kind of curse, as her body was covered with dense cracks.
But no blood flowed out of the laceration.
Thor used meditation to look and actually saw countless translucent tongues sticking out of the crack.
Like little birds waiting to be fed by their mother, the tongues turned around and wagged their soft tongues towards Thor.
Thor extended the tweezers over, and the tongues turned, as if waiting to be fed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Thor got goosebumps all over his body.
Whatever those tongues were, he didn't want to touch them with his hands.
Moreover, the body in front of him was intact, and it seemed that the apprentices in charge of the first two processes did not touch her much.
Thor turned around and was about to change to a longer clamp, but he saw the white crystal he had hidden.
He picked one up with tweezers and moved it over the crack of the female corpse again.
This time, the transparent little tongue close to the tweezers actually retracted into the crack, as if it was afraid of the crystals.
Moreover, when the translucent tongue retracted into the crack, a flash of light appeared when it stretched out of the crack.
"This crystal... does it have the power to expel weird things?"
Thor withdrew the tweezers and the tongue came out again.
Thor simply threw the small crystal, which was not even as big as a grain of rice, into the crack.
“Swish!”
Along with a faint burning sound, a puff of green smoke emerged from the crack.
Thor quickly took two steps back and held his breath.
Fortunately, the smoke dissipated quickly and the hardcover book did not react.
He waited for a while, returned to the body, cut open the gap where the tongue was no longer there, and searched for a while.
The original small crystal has been completely powdered and seems to be useless.
Thor picked out a small tumor from the flash.
"If you use a crystal to destroy a tongue, you can get a tumor. Of course I would choose... crystal!"
Thor turned around and opened the box where he had just stored the crystals. When he closed the lid again, the small bag of crystals in the box turned into a lonely little tumor.
The candlelight on the teleportation platform finally dimmed.
Thor packed his things and looked up. It was already half past seven.
Do not stay in the East Tower after 8 o'clock.
He quickly grabbed the books and papers on the table and rushed out of the morgue.
"Um?"
A figure stood in front of Thor, and the two almost collided.
However, the man in front took a step back early, leaving Thor empty-handed.
"Sorry!" Thor apologized and wanted to leave immediately, but after taking two steps, he stopped and looked back.
"Are you the senior in charge of the first morgue?"
The man Thor nearly bumped into was coming from further down the hallway.
His hair is gray, but his skin has no wrinkles.
His eyelids drooped, and he looked half asleep and half awake.
"Yeah." The other person seemed to have a good temper, or had no desire to interact with others. He hummed softly and was about to walk past Thor.
"Um?"
The listless second-level apprentice passed by Thor and caught a glimpse of the blueprint in Thor's hand out of the corner of his eye.
"Um……"
He pointed his index finger at Thor's right hand.
Thor lowered his head and saw what he was holding in his hand - a three-dimensional coordinate composite rune diagram.
