Paper 122 Fiery Serpent
Jihoo studied three types of magic.
[Common magic] is the first one that is not too deep because it is not biased, but it is versatile and easy to learn. The second is the circuitry of [Magic Engineering]. The third is [Synthesis].
Public magic and magic engineering are 5 stars, but fusion is still about 3 stars. It also lacks utilization because it only knows the basics.
‘For now, public magic.’
Jihoo moved his magic.
With the mana accumulated in his body, he induces mana floating in the air. In the past, it was said that the mana in the body was used as a whole, but then the efficiency would inevitably fall.
The limits are also clear.
“… … ?”
But it was strange.
Apparently, in the past, the magic power floating in the air was like fog. It means that even if you touch it with your hand, you can’t touch it, and it is light as if you have to collect it for a long time to get moisture.
But now it was different.
“crazy.”
Jihoo’s magic talent is A grade.
Prior to acquiring this talent, it was not even foggy. It has to be gathered in the invisible air for a long time to make it look like fog.
It was only after raising his talent that he was at this level. But now it was much darker than that. It’s like reaching out for a shower.
I didn’t have to induce it separately.
Just thinking about it moved the magic of the atmosphere. Rather, the amount of mana that moved Jihoo was absurdly greater than he thought, to the point of embarrassment.
However, that embarrassment was short-lived. Easier to control than expected. It seemed to be due to his excellent mana control.
“… … Was magic this easy?”
Creates the most basic magic [Fire Ball].
Gathers oxygen with magical energy to form a ball. The duration varies depending on the degree of compression, so I collected a lot. A one-way force field was installed around it. So that the heat cannot get inside and burn up all the oxygen. But it is so that a certain amount of oxygen can come out steadily.
After that, the temperature was raised to create a ball of fire.
Roaring-
You don’t have to focus too much.
From nob le mt l. co m
Magic was completed just by thinking about it.
Even the magic talent of an A-rank genius was not up to this level. Will it be like this when it comes to S rank? It was the power of [Dragon Witch (Lv. 05)], which is the word for witch and dragon.
Jihoo wasn’t done with that.
‘It creates carbon and adds it to oxygen. Carbon comes from the burned [Wood] attribute without being oxidized, and the [Wind] attribute is mixed for a steady and smooth supply of oxygen. Also, in order to extremely increase the controllability of fire, you must control it with the fire attribute itself… … .’
Roaring!
The fire got bigger.
No, even if it was, it changed from a fire the size of a fist to the size of a human head, but the firepower itself became stronger.
‘This isn’t enough. No, I think I can do more.’
Add Vortex.
Combining wind and fire attributes creates a plausible vortex. Creating more surface area is important… … . Then, instead of being a simple ball of fire, it became a coiled serpent.
“… … Isn’t that what wizards do for nothing?”
There are those who make certain shapes that are not ordinary fires. Fire snakes, fire wolves, and some archmages even dragons.
Of course, you don’t need to make horns, eyes, nose, or mouth, but… … .
“No, wait. You can make it.”
Jihoo added delicate work to the fire snake. This becomes a shape and can intimidate the other person.
But aside from that, what if [Low AI] were added? Because it has eyes, nose and mouth, it can observe objects using its eyes and nose, and it can also spray fire with its mouth.
Ugh!
Roaring! Hwareuk!
The snake started wriggling around. It was the process of Jihoo adding the magic circle.
‘Low-level artificial intelligence is impossible.’
First of all, it is because it is a [circuit].
this is magic That’s why I had to rebuild it with a magic circle, but at the level of Jihoo now, it would take several weeks of research.
I am familiar with turning magic into circuits, but turning circuits into magic seems to be a different area.
‘Then target recognition and targeting. Shall I put in a simple breath?’
That’s enough.
The design of the magic circle was finished in Jihoo’s head, and magic began to manifest according to his will.
“… … Whoa – it sure is difficult.”
It’s incredibly delicate work.
Even though I was confident in my ability to control it, it was overwhelming. I can’t even dream without this wand.
Whiririk!
The fire snake looked at Jihoo. Then, when Ji-hoo gestured, it moved there and spewed flames.
Roaring!
Look at Jihoo with your eyes and sense magic with your nose. The mouth was designated as an ‘outlet’, and oxygen ‘compression injection’ magic was added behind it.
“But the consumption of mana is too great.”
Jihoo thought for a moment and shook his hand.
Hwareuk!
The fiery serpent is gone.
Jihoo had cut off his magic power.
It was amazing.
I thought magic had to be done only as it was set, but it can be applied like crafting. Of course, it required ridiculous concentration, and the consumption of mana was enormous.
And I found out one more thing.
‘Wizards didn’t uselessly create snakes or dragons.’
There were reasons for everything.
And Jihoo was also greedy.
“It would be nice to design it properly and put it in an artifact.”
It needed to be developed a little further.
Activation time, mana consumption, firepower, and even the use of artificial intelligence. Because this was the end of blowing it up once and burning it.
Kirik-
Jihoo used [Synthesis]. After liquefying one of the iron ingots stacked on one side, he pulled it out.
‘Certainly, [Synthesis] is helpful for production. His dexterity is good, so it’s not difficult to make it the way he imagines it.’
How should I use this?
Jihoo manifested the [Fire Serpent] he just created. It was completed much faster and more reliably than before. It was certainly easier to create from scratch than to modify after expression.
and.
Kirik-
I drew a circuit with a straight up cast iron. It was a 4-star circuit, and it was a circuit that stably supplied mana, like an [engine], from gathering, amplifying, transforming, and discharging it.
[Circuit] must have a place to engrave. Magic disappears when the user breaks concentration or disenchantment, but the circuit does not.
In particular, if you draw a circuit with magic iron itself like this, rather than a circuit carved with magic power, the overall performance such as durability and magic power volume will rise significantly.
and.
‘Let’s put in a low-level artificial intelligence.’
This is what I was most curious about.
Artificial intelligence is nothing special. machine learning and deep learning. In other words, a circuit that constitutes a system while repeating learning.
In my mind, I wanted to put a [lower ego] made by [fusion] of [intermediate artificial intelligence] and [growth type], but that was a very tricky circuit.
First of all, the [Treasure] grade was needed from the ingredients, and the circuit itself was enough to cover the entire general store several times.
‘There is potential, but as expected, the growth type is the basis, so there is a high probability that it will end with only potential. It is of no use unless it is combined with the elemental body or a material with a special soul.’
This [Dragon Witch] was the first experiment. It seems like a success when you look at the finished product, but once you level up, you’ll know how it functions properly.
Kirik. Kirik.
low-level artificial intelligence.
It’s a simple system.
1. Recognize the surroundings through the eyes.
2. Separate the master from the enemy and mark the enemy.
3. Oxygen is released through the trigger.
It’s such a simple system.
Of course, there are many steps in between. In order to move, you must use the vortex, inhale the released oxygen, and do not deviate from the iron circuit installed on the floor.
‘It’s not easy, but it’s fun.’
This is also an artifact.
The size is not too big either. Although complex circuits are densely packed, it is only the size of an adult’s palm.
If so, it means that you can summon a small [Fire Serpent] at any time by simply carrying it in your bag or carrying it on one side.
‘It doesn’t cost much to re-roll.’
But before that.
“I need to manifest the [fiery serpent] with non-magical circuitry.”
I didn’t think of that.
But if you think about it, it’s not difficult.
In any case, considering the amount of mana maintained, an intermediate mana stone must be implanted. Insert the magic stone in the center of the magic iron circuit, and engrave the [Fire Serpent] expression circuit on the magic stone.
‘It’s difficult to turn magic into circuits, but this level can be expressed with circuits.’
Conversion is hard, imitation is easy.
It does get a bit more complicated.
It’s magic. It’s not difficult to float in the air because the user controls the magic directly. But the circuit doesn’t.
It is necessary to set the reference coordinates for the iron circuit in a certain space and hold the force field based on those coordinates.
Skip, snooze.
Jihoo drew a circuit with Kiliya’s magic pen.
Originally, I hadn’t intended to do this.
The goal was to test mana control. I ended up here, but it wasn’t bad.
‘It’s definitely a new artifact.’
I’ve heard it occasionally.
Artifacts with [Continuous Magic] that can be used consistently once summoned are not common. Basically, you need to have two skills: magic skills and circuit skills.
“The name should be ‘Summoning Board’.”
Jihoo summoned the [Fire Snake] by putting magic into the completed magic iron circuit board, that is, the board he named [Summoning Board: Fire Snake].
Roaring!
A fiery snake the size of an adult forearm was summoned. It swims in the air while receiving magic power from the circuit board below, that is, the summoning board.
And when the enemy manifests and the owner commands it, it will emit a [Breath] through high-pressure oxygen release. If you don’t tell me later and set a specific trigger, you’ll shoot the enemy on your own.
But that’s it.
“It’s definitely not very efficient.”
[Low artificial intelligence] can be added to make it a slightly smarter automatic breath device. However, after using this much magic iron and inserting an intermediate magic stone, it was only a breath.
In fact, if you put a breath into a staff or something, even a single low-level mana stone, let alone magic iron, can produce the same destructive power as the breath used by a fire snake.
“… … It’s literally just for show.”
『Summoning Board: Fire Snake [Fire/Auto] [Rare] [Lv. 05]』
: A fire snake summoning circuit completed based on an intermediate magic stone on a circuit board made of magic iron. It’s a product made by a skilled person, but I don’t think it’s useless. Or, if you want expensive ornaments, it might be okay.
* [Mid-level mana supply]
* [Low AI]
* [Lesser Fire Serpent]
“It is nonsense.”
If you look at the destructive power, it’s about level 2 to 3. Complex circuits and artificial intelligence were included, but it was the height of inefficiency that could not be utilized even 10% properly.
but… … .
‘Can you make this properly?’
For a moment, Jihoo looked at the [Dragon Witch] in her hand.
‘Dragon setting, detachable orb? Summon board through the circuit… … Instead of staying there and attacking steadily, it flies and self-destructs… … . Then the destructive power will be guaranteed.’
A staff of the [Dragon Witch] level would be able to handle summoning dragons. Of course, I don’t know how many levels of destructive power it can produce.
If you use a breath like this [Fire Serpent], the destructive power will be weak compared to the sustain power, so the efficiency will be low.
Even if Jihoo worked hard for days and days to create a summoning board linked to the [Dragon Witch], it would be difficult for her destructive power to exceed level 8.
In the case of firearms, the destructive power of the firearm itself is sufficient, but attack magic made of pure mana like this is magic. No, because the circuit level has to be as good here.
“Ugh, my head hurts already.”
Then it suddenly dawned on me.
Recently, a general store called [I Was a Death Knight] opened on the street. There were books and things related to black magic, and there were also weapons and armor like the name Death Knight.
“… … There is also the Summoning School.”
Would I be crazy if I studied this far?
Spirituals are so rare that they are not even in the [City of Artisans], and the professions related to summoning are only those of the Necromand School among [Black Wizards].
It is said that it is a job that is emerging as a trend these days, but it would not be bad to recognize it once. Apparently Jihoo was very interested in [Magi] and [Ruins], so he might find clues in black magic.
