GOR Chapter 50: Playing Bigger and Bigger
Fundamentally speaking, in this mystical world of magic, magic seemed complicated, but in order to become a qualified magician, there were three conditions that had to be met.
First, there was naturally the incantation. This was actually the simplest part. As long as you became a disciple of a magician, you would more or less be able to learn something, even if it was only the simplest low level incantation.
But for himself, the other two conditions were the key: innate magic power and innate perception.
Magic power was spiritual power. Du Wei and Thorskei actually belonged to the same type of people: they were born with a certain amount of innate magic power, and their spiritual power was more outstanding than ordinary people.
However, all of them were lacking in terms of perceptivity. This was the biggest flaw that had previously prevented the two of them from becoming true magicians.
But now, this flaw had been overcome by Thorskei in theory. He could use potions to create all kinds of artificial magic elements, and through increasing the concentration of magic elements in the surrounding environment, people with weak perception could also use magic … … although it was limited to the lowest level of magic. But at least, theoretically speaking, he had already overcome this natural moat.
Then, the direction of Thorskei's research now was in another direction!
Magic power! In other words, spiritual power!
Du Wei and Thorskei belonged to the group of people who had magic power, but no perception.
Then, in this world, there were naturally large groups of people who were the opposite of them: those people had very sharp perception, but no innate magic power!
Since magic elements could be artificially created … … then, what if magic power could also be artificially increased?
What would be the consequences of that … …
Every time Du Wei and Thorskei thought of this, they couldn't help but become abnormally excited!
If the problem of perception and magic power could be overcome … … then, it would mean that the era of magicians at the top would come to an end!
You have magic power, but no perception! Enough magic elements would be created for you! You would be able to use low level magic! At the very least, you would become a low level magician!
You have perception, but no magic power! Increase your magic power! Then you would also be able to use low level magic! At the very least, you would become a low level magician!
Even … … even if you were an ordinary person without innate magic power, and without perception! That wouldn't be a problem! If worst comes to worst, I'll just give you these two things and use artificial methods to make up for it!
As long as Thorskei's research was successful, then in Du Wei's eyes, this was simply epoch-making!
Anyone could become a magician!!
It was precisely because he had such a grand goal that Du Wei did his best to satisfy any of Thorskei's requests for money in this tight financial situation! He didn't hesitate to throw out thousands of gold coins. In the future, as long as the conditions permitted, he wouldn't mind throwing out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
If he could really develop a potion that could artificially increase his magic power …
Du Wei couldn't help but occasionally indulge in lewd thoughts.
Find three to five thousand soldiers! Everyone would be given a bottle of magic potion and enough magic elements … Then, all three to five thousand soldiers would be mages!
Even if it was just a magician of the lowest level … this was definitely enough to change the history of the continent!
An army of three to five thousand magicians!
Furthermore, as long as the production could keep up … Not to mention three to five thousand people … Even a mage army of thirty to fifty thousand people was theoretically possible!
Just thinking about it in his head made him very excited!
Only now it seemed that even though Thorskei was so busy that he was practically lying on his back, cooped up in the laboratory all day long, and only slept for three to five hours a day … His progress was practically zero.
It wasn't that Du Wei hadn't thought about stimulants and the like … After all, the so-called magic power was actually spiritual force. Du Wei also naturally thought that if there were stimulants and the like from his previous life that could make people excited, wouldn't that be equivalent to having a powerful spiritual force?
Regarding Du Wei's hypothesis, Thorskei had seriously considered it before, but he immediately rejected this possibility.
"There are many things that can make people excited after consuming them. For example, I know of a thing called 'Ice Berry' that is produced in the frozen forest of the north. It has a considerable effect. After consuming it, it can make people excited. So much so that if used excessively, it can even cause people to have a certain degree of hallucination and feel like they're floating in the air. I've heard that many nobles like this' Ice Berry 'very much, so much so that in all … En, private gatherings, these things can be used as food to adjust the atmosphere. "
Du Wei's eyes lit up … Could it be a hallucinogen party? It seemed that no matter how the world changed, the lives of some rich people were still debauched and absurd …
"However, these things that can excite one's mind are limited in their effects. At most, it can make people excited a little, but it can't increase the total amount of spiritual force by much. And in order to use magic, the amount of spiritual force needed and the amount of spiritual force an ordinary person possesses is really much, much higher! This kind of stimulant type thing is far from being able to satisfy the needs. I've calculated that if you want to make this kind of stimulant's effect reach the level where an ordinary person's spiritual force can reach the level where they can use magic … Unless … "
"Unless …" Thorskei smiled bitterly: "Unless you let a person eat a hundred large barrels of Ice Berries! And now we already know that this kind of thing like Ice Berries, don't even talk about eating a hundred barrels, even if you dare eat more than a small plate, your heart will stop beating because of excessive excitement! Then you'll immediately die! " Thorskei stopped here and smiled bitterly: "Unless your heart is as strong as a Megalosaurus! Maybe you can bear the side effects of eating a hundred barrels of Ice Berries. However, if we can find a Megalosaurus … then the dragon's magic power is already very strong, and there's no need to use any methods to become a magician! "
Du Wei thought for a moment, and patted Thorskei whose eyes were red from lack of sleep: "The future is bright! The road is arduous! — I believe in you, do your best! "
Then, Du Wei clapped his hands very straightforwardly, and gave this difficult problem to Thorskei to worry about.
•
Du Wei wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't in a hurry at all.
Although he had already practiced "Star Magic" for a few days, he still hadn't broken through the first hurdle, and hadn't been able to feel any star power. But the incantation Saimel had taught him, and the meditation every night had already greatly increased Du Wei's own spiritual force.
And now, it seemed like there wasn't any urgent problem in his life that required him to grasp some huge magic power.
He, as a noble, didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and had a large number of servants to wait on him. Now that he had monopolized the Rollin Plains' soccer gambling business, Du Wei didn't lack gold coins in his hands.
What else did he have to worry about?
Oh … perhaps there was still a small problem.
•
Behind the castle was originally a large farm. This farm produced enough grains, vegetables, and fruits, a portion to meet the castle's needs, and the other portion to be sold.
Du Wei once again requisitioned an abandoned warehouse at the side of this farm, and now, Du Wei would come to this place every day to stay for a while.
The thing called pyrotechnic that Thorskei had made was now nervously undergoing a series of creative work.
Du Wei had Mard spend money to buy all kinds of materials, as well as a few hired craftsmen: carpenters, engravers, blacksmiths, and even a tailor. In addition, there were seven or eight servants in the castle, forming Du Wei's pyrotechnic development team.
After Du Wei got his hands on pyrotechnic, his first thought was that this thing could definitely be used to make fireworks to make money! This world didn't need pyrotechnic, nor did it need hot weapons. Because any low level mage could shoot a fireball, and its power could even compare to a rocket launcher.
And even if one wasn't a mage, a warrior who could use battle qi could also use battle qi to shoot out all kinds of wind blades and other martial skills.
In this kind of situation, Du Wei believed that at most he could make some dirt cannons and the like, which was useless.
But to make fireworks, it was much more practical!
Thanks to some experiences in his previous life, Du Wei had grown up in a rural village. He had seen some things in the village's workshops that made fireworks and firecrackers. He could even use a few rolls of newspaper and a small portion of pyrotechnic to make a firecracker! Although it was crude, it could definitely make a sound!
Du Wei showed a little of his skill in front of those craftsmen, and they were immediately shocked! After confirming that this young master wasn't using magic, Du Wei explained the use of this yellow powder, and then put forward some of his own requirements.
Du Wei wasn't too interested in those earth-shattering firecrackers, he only wanted to make some beautiful fireworks.
The so-called fireworks … Weren't they just flames that could shoot out six different colors after being ignited?!
As long as he had pyrotechnic, the craftsmanship wasn't that difficult. Du Wei's village workshop in his previous life could make fireworks, so Du Wei believed that he wouldn't have any problems.
Du Wei didn't understand the issue of the color of the fireworks, but he was familiar with the pharmacology of this world. He knew that there were some special things that would emit different colors after being ignited. As long as it was mixed with pyrotechnic, it would be fine.
These craftsmen weren't stupid. After understanding the principle, they quickly began to make things that were many times more beautiful than the crude firecrackers that Du Wei made. After being ignited, the sound was loud and loud!
Then the fireworks were made. Du Wei was most proud of the wood carving that he asked a sculptor to carve out in the shape of a goddess. The goddess was holding a water bottle in her hand. As long as the fuse was ignited, the mouth of the bottle would shoot out four different colors of fireworks!
In this era, this kind of thing was no doubt a miracle! This result caused everyone's eyes to nearly pop out of their sockets! Even the craftsmen and the sculptor who participated in the production could not help but kneel down on one knee. They used their most devout voices to praise the great Goddess of Light, thinking that this was a miracle bestowed by God!
Du Wei quickly slapped his forehead and named this product 'Goddess of Dawn's Forgiveness'.
After copying the name of the Aquarius Gold Saint's move from Saint Seiya, Du Wei was still not satisfied!
After all, this' Goddess of Dawn's Forgiveness' was too small. The fireworks that it shot out were only as tall as a person.
If he wanted to make it, he would make it big!
Du Wei wanted to create something similar to the ones from his previous life. Every time during National Day, there would be fireworks! One shot into the sky! Then, it would explode in the sky, sending fireworks everywhere! That would be a satisfying scene!
This Goddess of Dawn was like a child's toy in comparison.
As for this, it was difficult!
Du Wei spoke for a long time, but he was still unable to explain to the craftsmen how to 'release' fireworks into the sky! After thinking for a while, Du Wei understood. After thinking about it for a while, he managed to solve the problem of the fireworks … This was already beyond the level of fireworks. It was still in the realm of 'cannons'!
He was unable to explain the explosive power of the fireworks, the principle of the spray, the recoil and so on to these craftsmen … In the end, a daring craftsman tried to do it once, but because he used too much fireworks, it led to a small-scale explosion. He accidentally injured two people (The injuries were not serious, they would be fine after two days of rest).
But everyone agreed that this was a punishment and warning from God!
Therefore, even if Du Wei put on the airs of a young master, no one would dare to do this kind of thing.
Du Wei could not help but be speechless. "Religious worship will kill people …"
Since 'shooting into the sky' from the ground was not feasible. Du Wei could only use his brain again.
After a night of thinking, Du Wei came up with an even more shocking idea.
Since shooting from the ground did not work … I will throw it from the sky!
But … how to go up to the sky … Could it be that I ask a magician to fly up with the flying spell?
That would be too lacking in technical content!
Du Wei was very disdainful of this idea.
Moreover, if any magician used fire magic, the scene would be much more spectacular than this fireworks. If I can ask a magician to do it, then I don't even need fireworks! Directly throwing down a fire magic, that would be called gorgeous!
But if I don't rely on a magician … How can I go up to the sky?
Du Wei suddenly felt that he was very ridiculous … I can't possibly build an airplane from scratch, right?
Damn, this is getting bigger and bigger.
Du Wei definitely does not have the ability to build an airplane … So, besides the airplane, is there any other way?
Du Wei's eyes lit up!
(Work hard to get on the list ~! Everyone, help me buy tickets ~)
