"This place …" Lin Li's finger gently brushed past the crystal ball, and finally landed on the base that was made of Thorium. "This place, I wonder if I can make a Countercurrent mageweath …"
"Countercurrent mageweath?" Moke was stunned. Of course, he knew about the Abyssal mageweath. It was one of the few high-level mageweaths with the simplest structure. It had a total of 13 magic nodes and an element amplification circuit. Most of the time, the Countercurrent mageweath would be in a dormant state, but once it was stimulated by mana, the Countercurrent mageweath would suddenly amplify mana, and release powerful magical elements in an instant.
To Moke, the Countercurrent mageweath was too familiar. Out of ten magic staffs, at least nine would use the Countercurrent mageweath, and the number of magic staffs that had passed through Moke's hands was even more so that he himself could not remember how many he had. However, Moke could not understand why this Felic would suddenly make such a request.
Could it be that he did not know that the Countercurrent mageweath should not even be inscribed on the base of a crystal ball? The characteristic of the Countercurrent mageweath was to suddenly amplify mana, and use the instantaneous explosive power to harm the opponent. But if it was inscribed on the base of a crystal ball, other than harming the crystal ball itself, who else could it harm?
"I'll try …" Of course, Moke would not be so foolish to remind the other party. In fact, being able to see the other party make a fool of himself was exactly what Moke wished for. Didn't you want to play tricks? Alright, I'll help you inscribe the Countercurrent mageweath. When the crystal ball is unable to bear the burden and explode, I'll see how you're going to apply for another one from the Supreme Council. This is a few hundred thousand gold coins. Even if you sell your pants, it would probably not be enough …
"Then I'll thank Mr Moke in advance …"
"You're welcome …" With a sense of schadenfreude, the smile on Moke's face seemed to be much more cheerful. He asked Lin Li's request for the Countercurrent mageweath while asking someone to bring him the tools.
Moke's tools were not complicated. There was a sparkling and translucent crystal pen and a bottle of sky-blue ink. To a Master of Inscription, this seemed a little shabby, but Lin Li did not see it that way. The crystal pen did not seem special at first glance, but if one were to observe it closely, they would easily notice that there seemed to be a wisp of mist lingering around the tip of the pen.
Lin Li knew that this was most likely the Twilight Crystal that was only found in a few mineral veins. The greatest advantage of a crystal pen made of Twilight Crystal was that it could distribute mana extremely accurately. Inscription itself was an art of meticulous care. A successful mageweath could not tolerate any mistakes, especially when the inscriber was distributing mana. A slight deviation would lead to a completely different result.
That was why inscribers would use crystal pens to draw mageweaths. This was because the crystal itself was the most sensitive magical crystal. Any slight change in mana would be displayed on the crystal pen in the most direct manner. Furthermore, the Twilight Crystal was the most sensitive among all the crystals. A crystal pen made of Twilight Crystal could almost completely eliminate any mistakes in the distribution of mana!
"The Supreme Council is indeed rich …" Looking at the Inscription pen made of Twilight Crystal, even Lin Li could not help but exclaim in admiration. This was not something that one could see often. Even in the Endless World, Lin Li had only seen it twice. The first time was when it had been made into a crystal pen and held in the hands of Inscription Trainer Artoria. The second time was in the cave of the Dragon of Destruction Azardas. After the Dragon Blood Adamantine vein was dug up, a Twilight Crystal lay in the pile of ores. Lin Li almost drooled on the spot …
It seemed that a monster that had survived from the Dark Age like the Supreme Council was indeed not something that ordinary forces could compare to. Putting aside their almost mythical power and their influence on thousands of mages, just the wealth that they had accumulated over the past 1,300 years was enough to make most forces feel hopeless.
This was no longer a matter of money. Something as precious as the Twilight Crystal could not be bought with money. Was the Mannes Family rich enough? Was the Marathon Family rich enough? But who among these two great families could take out even half a piece of Twilight Crystal? Of course, they did not have the guts to take it out. It did not matter if they had more money, but once they held a treasure like the Twilight Crystal, who knew if it would attract the covetous eyes of some powerhouse? An Archmage could not snatch it away, but a Legendary-mage should be able to, right? There were countless powerhouses in Anril, but not all of them were as polite as Andoine …
But Moke was definitely not afraid of people snatching it …
Because behind him stood one of the two strongest forces in Anril — the Supreme Council!
So, he could pick up the Twilight Crystal Pen with a clear conscience, and draw lines on the base of the Radiant Thorium. No matter whether Lin Li liked this middle-aged man with a stiff tone or not, he had to admit that Moke's attainments in Inscription had indeed reached the level of a Master. He held the Twilight Crystal Pen in one hand, and gently dipped it into the sky blue ink. Then, his pen moved swiftly, and in just a moment, a Countercurrent mageweath was announced to be completed.
"It was really too rushed this time, and I did not have any preparations. Why don't you take a look first, President Felic? If there are any inadequacies, please help me point them out …" After drawing the last element magnifying circuit on the base of the Radiant Thorium, Moke slowly placed the Twilight Crystal Pen on the table. At the same time, he looked at that young guild president with a proud face.
Moke understood himself very well. He knew that he might not have much talent in magic. He was already in his forties, and had only just broken through to the Archmage realm. But in the field of Inscription, Moke had never believed that anyone could surpass him. Even the number one person in Inscription recognized by the Supreme Council, Alanna Guild of Magic's Aldwin, had only become a Master of Inscription at the age of 60. Compared to the current Moke, even if he was stronger, it was only in terms of experience. In terms of understanding and comprehension of Inscription, he was afraid that Aldwin would not be able to compare to him …
Although he was asking Lin Li to point out the inadequacies, the gaze he used to look at Lin Li was a completely different matter. Today, Moke had come to vent his anger with peace of mind. The Countercurrent mageweath that he had just drawn was definitely one of the rare works that he was proud of recently. Not only did he use the Twilight Crystal Pen that he would not easily use, he even added a few of his original techniques during the drawing process. Moke was confident that even if Aldwin were to come personally, he would not be able to find any problems in this Countercurrent mageweath.
"Mr Moke, you really like to joke. You are the authority of Inscription in the Supreme Council. As a young junior, how would I dare to point out any inadequacies for you …" Lin Li's face still had a warm smile, but as he spoke, his brows slightly furrowed. "But Mr Moke, isn't this element magnifying circuit too close to the source of mana?"
Moke was so confident that when Lin Li really opened his mouth, he almost thought that he had heard wrongly …
He, he, he … He was actually giving him pointers. Moke simply could not believe that this kid who had not even grown his hair was actually delusional enough to point out his inadequacies!
"What's wrong, Mr Moke? You don't look too good. Are you sick?"
"…" Moke almost could not breathe. If not for Herza being at the side, Moke would have spat at him. What kind of nonsense was this? And it was too close to the source of mana? Moke really could not imagine how ignorant a person would be to say something like this …
Anyone with general knowledge in Inscription would know that under the circumstances where the structure of the mageweath allowed, the core circuit had to be as close to the source of mana as possible. Only then could the consumption be minimised. Damn, so this fella did not know sh * t. What Ward of Bad Luck? What Countercurrent mageweath? God knows where he heard of it. No wonder he was so stupid to the point of setting up the Countercurrent mageweath on the base of the crystal ball …
At that moment, Moke really did not know whether he should cry or laugh. A dignified Master of Inscription was actually made fun of by a kid who did not know sh * t. To think that he had held his breath just now and brought out his best Inscription technique just to convince the other party. But he did not expect the other party to be a complete amateur who did not even know the most basic common knowledge. Those Inscription techniques that he was so proud of, in the eyes of the other party, had all become "inadequacies" …
"Thank you, President Felic. I'm very good!" Moke said almost word by word.
"Oh, that's good, that's good …" Lin Li heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Moke up and down, and said with a face full of concern, "I thought Mr Moke fell sick because he had just arrived at the Breezy Plains …"
"…" Moke almost could not breathe again. This time, he really endured it again and again before finally resisting the urge to curse. Although he squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, he was already cursing in his heart. You're the f * cking one who is not acclimatized, your whole family is not acclimatized!
"Oh yes, Mr Moke, I remember I heard someone say that Radiant Thorium has the ability to distort mana. I wonder if this will have any effect on the Countercurrent mageweath that you just inscribed?" After Lin Li sincerely showed his concern for Moke, he then walked one round around the crystal ball again.
Lin Li's question was actually very casual. It was as if he was asking "have you eaten" or "how's the weather today?" But when it fell into Moke's ears, it scared him so much that he broke out in cold sweat on the spot.
That's right, Radiant Thorium did have the ability to distort mana. Under normal circumstances, this ability might not be a big deal, but when Radiant Thorium was inscribed with a Countercurrent mageweath, this ability suddenly became fatal …
