Chapter 783 Rumors, all rumors
Tina looked at Vilia with a serious face: "Tell me, Vilia, how much of this did you sell?"
"Teacher, I only made this kind of sword that can swing. The ones I sold before were immobile. But the sword swinging can't last very long, about three or four days. I haven't figured out how to price it yet..."
The Dagus girl suddenly thought of something and her face turned pale with fear: "Is this illegal? I heard that selling things requires permission from the cities, but I set up a stall outside the city in the woods..."
"That's not it."
Tina said, "You have engraved runes on the surface or inside of this clay figurine, right? But how can the runes make the clay figurine make such subtle movements?"
“This is actually…”
Just as Vilia was about to tell the story, a young man in his twenties suddenly walked in from outside.
"Veliya, are there any guests?"
He was also thin, with messy hair, bright eyes and a tough face, and he was carrying a middle-aged woman in a robe on his back.
"elder brother!"
Vilia immediately trotted over and together with her brother put the woman on the bed.
Tina guessed that it should be their mother - her face was calm and her breathing was slow. She must have taken a magic potion like anesthetic juice in the sanatorium to get a better rest.
After listening to his sister's introduction, the young man immediately said with a smile on his face: "Viliya, thank you very much for your care. I am her brother, Chuck. Our house is very small, please don't mind."
He quickly wiped a chair with a towel and moved it in front of Tina.
Tina talked to Chuck and learned that the siblings' mother, Nah, suffered from a strange disease that caused her to have sudden heart palpitations.
When the disease occurs, Nahe is sweating profusely and feels weak all over. In severe cases, she even feels like she is drowning and cannot breathe. As she gets older, Nahe's attacks become more and more frequent, making her weaker and weaker, and she can no longer walk.
The two siblings discussed and decided to leave their hometown and carry their mother on their backs to seek medical treatment in the advanced Yao civilization.
They took the leather left by their late father, sold their little property, and went to the Resurrection Kingdom without their mother on their backs.
The doctors there were helpless, so they went all the way to Yao City.
Unfortunately, the four major sanatoriums in Yao City were already overcrowded, with patients with difficult and complicated diseases from many worlds gathered here. The doctors were almost jogging all the way inside, and even ate while walking and eating wheat cakes. They mainly admitted those emergency patients who were in critical condition.
Although Nah's illness was serious, it was considered a mild case over there.
The doctors in Yaocheng couldn't really tell the difference between the patients and the beds, so they suggested that they go to Yancheng, saying that the environment there was more relaxed and comfortable, and that the medical conditions in Yancheng were not much different from those in Yaocheng. Nahe's condition required long-term observation and control, and it was difficult to say that it could be cured immediately.
So they came to Yancheng and rented this small house on the outskirts of the city.
Running around for medical treatment had already used up all the family savings, so his brother Chuck went to work at the "Wonderful Zoo".
Her younger sister, Vilia, made clay figurines, weaved bamboo baskets and wooden combs and set up stalls outside the city to supplement the family income.
But even in the Yao Clan city, the competition for setting up stalls is fierce.
No one can defeat the bamboo people and reed people in the field of bamboo products. There are all kinds of apprentices in carpentry and sculpture to earn extra money. Even the making of clay figures and pottery has earth elemental creatures competing for business. It is very difficult for Villia to do business.
Finally, she found a job and worked as Tina's assistant.
That's pretty much the case.
Tina said to Chuck, "Let me be frank. This clay figurine made by Vilia may have considerable value. However, this is just my preliminary judgment. It still needs to be technically reproduced and verified before its final value can be determined."
"If you believe me, I am willing to be your agent and go to the [Ode to Mithra's Totem] in the Mystic Kingdom to complete the contract."
"Under the watchful eye of Lord Yao, and with the strict supervision of the God of Contract Mithra, your interests can be guaranteed. If you can gain more wealth, you will be able to find more medical treatments."
In response, Chuck said: "As long as Vilia agrees, I have no objection. This is Vilia's wisdom and property."
"I believe in the teacher, I listen to the teacher!"
Wei Liya said to her brother: "Brother, the teacher is super rich, and work and doing things are just hobbies. Many people in the academy know that Teacher Wei Liya is actually the daughter of Ms. Mina, one of the founders of the Sand City Mutual Aid Foundation and the richest person in Sand City."
Chuck showed an expression of sudden realization.
“…”
Tina had a headache.
Everyone always thinks she is rich, but that is not the case at all.
Her mother, Mina, is also known as the ancient southern tree demon Jyoti, and her father is the great writer Pava who wrote "Pava's Bizarre Adventure" and "The Crystal Empire".
Both parents do have a lot of property.
However, the family wealth did not fall into his hands.
Because there are at least a dozen children like her in the family, all living in different worlds.
My parents travel around all the time and give me a sum of money every year, which is probably just enough to build a small house.
This is certainly not a small number, but it is far less exaggerated than the rumors outside.
Moreover, since she has a lot of expenses of her own, she also sponsors some students from poor families to help them complete their studies.
In addition, Tina also has a tradition of buying beautiful clothes and various jewelry. After all, she is the daughter of the tree demon Jyoti. She likes shiny gems and glowing decorations. The mother and daughter are of the same bloodline.
If there is any difference between me and ordinary people, it is probably that I know very calmly that life requires material foundation.
Everyone lives under the heavy gravity of matter.
No one is exempt.
…
Tina first took Vilia to the [Mystic Kingdom].
Under the magnificent ancient stone totem, they, together with other contract holders, chanted praises to Mithra, the god of contract, and completed the contract.
As the agent of the pottery technology mastered by Velia, the two parties will split the profits 30% to 70%, with Tina taking 30% and Velia taking 70%. Tina will safeguard Velia's interests and ensure that this technology produces material returns that are commensurate with its value.
Back in the college office, Vilia talked about the technical secrets of the clay dolls while doing the actual work.
"I mold the clay into parts and assemble them into a large clay figurine, which is a fist, forearm, upper arm, leg, chest, head, etc. Then I connect them with the concave and convex structures on them."
"When making it, I engraved a rune inside, "Peso (spell) / Yevaz (carriage) Hagraz (hurricane) Berkana (birth) Kenaz (protection) / Sowiro (divine power)". Then put these parts into the magic bottle for reinforcement and charging, so that they can keep the magic power for several days. "
The girl explained, "This spell was originally engraved on shoes used to lift heavy objects, but the rune was engraved incorrectly on my father's shoes, and it allowed him to float. That's when I realized that spells can be changed and adjusted to exert special powers."
"I think this is the treasure my father left me."
She said it easily, but Tina's face became serious when she heard it.
This is not a casual attempt.
Runes are not given enough attention in the Yao tribe.
One is that the apostle Longji confirmed that it was an imitation of the dragon language, so it was contemptible.
The second reason is that the Dagos people who mastered the Rune were living in dire straits. Without the order of God Yao and the rescue of the Yao people, they would most likely be destroyed in the river of history. The power of the Rune could not even save the Dagos people.
Because of these reasons, the Yao people's greatest focus on Dagus technology is the [Magic Bottle] and [Magic Well], and they have indeed made major breakthroughs in these two areas.
Nowadays, [Crystal Magic Bottle] has entered many cities at a very low price and has become a part of residents' daily life.
Although for safety reasons, residents can only purchase, register and use small magic bottles, this has greatly reduced people's heating, cooking and even tool-making costs.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Not to mention the [Magic Well]. Whether it is the [Elemental Magic Realm], an energy world transformed by the Yao Clan, or the safe version of the [Elemental Magic Well] used in the city, they have truly changed the living conditions and ways of all the Yao Clan members.
During these decades, there has been almost no progress in rune writing.
In the early days, many scholars also tried to develop from them, but they soon discovered that these 24 runes were difficult to express complex abilities. They could only achieve effects such as binding, stabilization, spiking, tearing, and speed, and the duration was very short.
Rune combinations that are slightly longer will become extremely unstable, unable to ensure power balance, and will be very easy to break and fail.
The runes covering the magic bottle, which condense the magic energy, have not yet been deciphered. This, along with the "Divine Book" sent down by the God Yao and the digital oracle of the God Ju, are known as the three unsolved mysteries of the Yao clan.
Scholars have gradually abandoned this direction.
But now, Weilia has come up with an unprecedented idea - a new format.
The expression of power of runes and the definition of magical rules have a completely different paradigm from ordinary text writing.
It's not just left and right, up and down, there are also spaces, lines and area divisions.
Close to letter format.
Translated into the Yao language, it reads as follows.
"Spell
The Chariot Hurricane is born Protection Divine power is released"
There is a clear and coordinated order and specification.
Tina was very excited.
If the Rune could be truly utilized, then building a house would be extremely simple. One could even stack houses to form an infinitely high tower that could penetrate the clouds and connect to another world! People would be able to build flying and mobile houses, and no longer have to rely on the birds in the [Top Basket] to transform flying houses. They were now extremely arrogant, accepting hospitality and care from people everywhere without expressing their opinions, just like a king choosing a concubine.
Tina has been dissatisfied with this for a long time.
We can build a flying house without you! Vilia continued: "...But long runes are actually very difficult to carve, because in order to unfold the rune power, it needs to be evenly distributed on the surface of the entire charging object."
“So we need to control the size so that each rune is symmetrical and of equal size. In the past, hunters used ink lines to mark areas on bows and magic horns, and then carefully carve within the area.”
"But pottery is thin and easy to break, and carving on clay will cause collapse and unevenness. So I made some wooden molds, carved runes in relief on them, made identical rune clay pieces, and then pasted them on the inside and outside of the pottery... In fact, I was learning the printing technique of the Yao people."
"Then these clay pieces can be placed in the magic bottle and baked directly with the fire element. They can be taken out and fixed together, making them very convenient to take out."
The Daggs girl told all her thoughts.
Tina tried it immediately and found that the result was exactly as Vilia said. Through this seemingly simple method, the power of the rune could be restored.
The unexpected rune segment could be attributed to luck, but the original clay slice connection, as well as the standardized use of printing and bone engineering, were undoubtedly the child's own ideas.
She had figured out a whole new tool for describing the world.
Tina asked, "Why did you think of making something like this?"
"Because ordinary clay figurines and pottery figurines can't be sold, everyone's handicrafts are too good."
Weilia thought for a moment and added, "And my brother actually wants to be a flying boat pilot and fly into the sky, but that's impossible for our family. A flying boat would require him to be away from home for a few years, so he can't do it."
"I like Miss Isabel, Lord Yaoshen's personal attendant. I also want to have one of her magic wands so that I can fly into the sky on it."
"And my mother, she can't stand up, and the [Steam Carriage] is expensive and difficult to use... I want to take her to heaven on a magic wand. If we can make it ourselves, everyone can fulfill their wish without having to spend money to buy it."
"I want to make a flying wand. Although I only have these pottery shards now, they can barely float."
The girl said this somewhat embarrassedly.
"Yes."
Tina said seriously: "You can make a magic wand and take everyone flying. Let me help you. I am your assistant in this matter."
Vilia was stunned: "Is it really possible?"
"Of course. Vilia, be more confident."
Tina adjusted her crystal glasses and smiled: "Not only can we fly by ourselves, we can also take the house... and the whole city with us."
"With this, we can make the heavy life light and allow everyone to fly."
Wei Liya whispered: "But I heard that you have a private flying boat, will it be heavy..."
"…Rumors, they are all rumors."
Tina held her forehead with her hand: "Don't listen to those guys' nonsense."
It suddenly occurred to her.
It's time.
I have to write a letter to my mother and ask her to fund this experiment that will go down in history.
