Chapter 349 - A False Alarm
Chapter 349: A False Alarm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Moke was narrow-minded, he was not an idiot like Lasorick. Furthermore, he was also a genuine Master of Inscription. Lin Li, a Guru of Inscription, aside, the attainments Moke had in Inscriptions would definitely be of the top standard even if it was compared to the whole of Anril.
With Moke’s attainments in Inscriptions, how could he not understand what the Brilliant Thorium’s property of warping mana would do to the Countercurrent mageweath that he had just inscribed…
Brilliant Thorium warping mana was just a more ambiguous way of putting it. An accurate way to put it would be that Brilliant Thorium would use a twisting method and purify mana. This was also the reason why many precision magical devices used Brilliant Thorium as the base. No matter what kind of crystal was mounted on the base, it would all change into the cleanest and purest mana after undergoing the twisting by the Brilliant Thorium.
For crystal ball type precision magical devices, the Brilliant Thorium was the best match. Maintaining the cleanliness and purity of mana would extend the lifespan of the crystal ball to the greatest degree. It could also minimize the chances of failing the most.
However, for the Countercurrent mageweath that Moke had just inscribed, the Brilliant Thorium could bring about an almost destructive blow…
The theory behind Countercurrent mageweath was actually very simple. With 13 magic nodes connected to the source of mana, the mana stored in the source would immediately surge forth once triggered by external forces. At the same time, the element amplifying circuit would start to work, breaking the operating mode of Countercurrent mageweath. On one hand, there was continuous influx. On the other, there was continuous efflux. The originally stable mana flow had immediately turned into two forces of mana colliding, so an instantaneous explosion would naturally come about…
But the fault was that the Countercurrent mageweath that Moke had inscribed did not have its own source of mana. It was inscribed on the Brilliant Thorium base. This also meant that this Countercurrent mageweath was sharing the same source of mana with the crystal ball. When the Countercurrent mageweath was triggered by external forces, it would not be supplied with mana by the source of mana, but it would be passively accepting the mana surging from the Brilliant Thorium base.
This would be troublesome. Once it had undergone the Brilliant Thorium’s twisting, mana would become clean and pure. It would not be possible to reverse it with the Brilliant Thorium’s operating mode.
Of course, there was a solution…
All it needed was 13 magic nodes on the Countercurrent mageweath to let the mana escape from the Brilliant Thorium’s constraint, restoring the original operation mode. This seemingly complicated problem would naturally be resolved.
But in Moke’s design, space had long been reduced to the maximum. How could it be easy to add another 13 magic nodes?
Unless…
Unless it was going be as how that fella said it. Adjust the position of the element amplifying circuit, and thus gain some space for the 13 magic nodes in exchange…
Originally, Moke was waiting for the other party to become a joke, but he had carelessly forgotten about the property of Brilliant Thorium, and had actually fallen to the state of being seen as a joke by a layman. In a moment, Moke really did not know how to describe his feelings. That feeling of having no place to hide oneself was like he had been slapped. Moke stood there, his face pale. His mouth was wide open for a while, but he did not know how to answer the opposition’s question…
This time, Moke really did not dare to answer it haphazardly, because he suddenly realized that he could not figure out this young mage called Felic anymore. Calling him an outsider to Inscription was hard, for everything he had said was about the most crucial point. But to say that he was an expert in Inscription… Moke did not dare believe it. Any expert would have to go through countless failures in exchange for a broad and profound knowledge of Inscriptions. Without tens of years of thorough research, nobody would be able to get such knowledge out of thin air.
Indeed, this young mage in front of him could be a true genius, but so what? Isn’t Aldwin from Alanna’s Guild of Magic a genius? Am I, Moke, not a genius? No matter how much of a genius, it was impossible to be successful without going through failure. Furthermore, based on the information that Mr Rosen had provided, this Felic should be a genius in magic. Moke believed that there was nobody in this world that would have everything when born. A person that was proficient in magic and Inscription… How could there be such a good deal in this world?
Moke silently told himself that he would have to be careful about everything he said or did before figuring out the truth about this fella. The mistake he made with the location of the element amplifying circuit just now could still be chalked up to his forgetting about the property of Brilliant Thorium. But, if he were to make any more mistakes, he would completely throw his old face in the Breezy Plains.
Moke looked around. Be it Herza or those engineers, they were all looking at him with faces of anticipation. This time, Moke really did not dare to say anything else. It was still easy to speak for Herza, but those engineers did not have much propriety in speech. If he were to do something stupid, they would definitely not mind helping spread the word. By that time, it would only take a few days for the word of his stupidity to spread among the Supreme Council…
“This… this…”
Moke said “this” more than several times, and did not elaborate on any reasons. Instead, it was Lin Li, who had cocked his ears to listen, that became impatient. He shook his head and walked around the crystal ball. In the end, his gaze was set upon the Countercurrent mageweath again.
“This… Mr Moke. I am just casually saying. If I were to be mistaken, please don’t take offense…”
“Don’t mention it… President Felic really knows how to joke…” If it was before, Moke would most likely roll his eyes and display a disdainful look. He would most likely scold him, saying, “Your hair has not even grown yet, and you dare to give me directions?”
Well, things like that…
But now, Moke did not dare to do that. He was ambiguous even when he spoke, for he was scared he would create another joke.
Luckily, Felic did not realize his awkwardness. After scanning through the mageweath once, he then pointed at the Brilliant Thorium base again with a hesitant look, and said, “It’s because I have also seen President Aldwin draw a Countercurrent mageweath back when I was at Alanna. It was somewhat different from yours…”
Lin Li’s voice got softer and softer, but Moke’s eyes lit up as he listened.
When Lin Li had finished speaking, the awkwardness on Moke’s face had completely disappeared, and in its place was a look of sudden realization.
No wonder…
No wonder he said that there were deviations in the element amplifying circuit that Moke had inscribed. The questions that Moke had were suddenly answered in that moment. Like I said, this fella is only in his twenties. How could he be proficient in Inscriptions? That small mistake could only be seen if Aldwin was here. After all, he was more than a hundred years old. In terms of experience, he would definitely be better than Moke. This fella had been giving directions illogically for the whole day. So, it was because he had seen Aldwin inscribe the Countercurrent mageweath before back then at Alanna…
For a stranger to Inscriptions, it was only natural that the Countercurrent mageweath that this Master of Inscription, Aldwin, had inscribed was the only benchmark. Some people that had seen the Countercurrent mageweath that Moke had inscribed would of course think that he was wrong, but they did not know that he had used some special skills and slightly changed the position of the element amplifying circuit. F*ck, it all boils down to doing something extra. Of all things to do, I had to show off my skills in front of an outsider. In the end, I did not even get a single praise, but instead almost had a heart attack…
After thinking in this manner, Moke had somewhat calmed down. When he looked at Lin Li again, his gaze was no longer as nervous before. With an unfathomable look, he said, “President Felic, I need to remind you that I am me, and Aldwin is Aldwin. Masters of Inscriptions have their own styles. The things we are good at are different…”
“I see…”
Lin Li nodded. It was just that his tone was plain—it did not sound sincere. Luckily, Moke did not mind after being frightened just now. Now, he was wrecking his brains to find an excuse to leave. Otherwise, if he were to wait for this kid to suddenly think of asking him to activate the Countercurrent mageweath for a trial, he might really throw his face away.
Others might be clueless, but how could Moke not know about the mageweath that he had inscribed himself? This Countercurrent mageweath was already useless. It did not have more support from magic nodes when inscribed on the Brilliant Thorium base. The element amplifying circuit had no way of functioning. It was still alright if nobody inputted any mana to activate it, but if somebody were to try and input mana to activate it, they would realize that the Countercurrent mageweath was just a decoration.
No matter what it was, he still had to leave first. As for the aftermath, he could just wait for everyone to leave and sneak back in to make a new inscription. After all, it was just a Countercurrent mageweath. For Master of Inscription, making one was just a matter of seconds.
Unfortunately, that fella called Felic was not tactful. Moke had already covered his mouth and yawned for a long while, and this fella still did not understand his cue. He just kept dragging on and asking questions. Could it be that he did not realize that Moke did not want to talk to him?
F*ck, he is too thick-skinned… Moke silent cursed in his heart. He did not want to give this fella any more respect. You just have to drag me along and not let me leave, right? Fine, I’ll show you a joke first…
“Oh, yes, President Felic. About the ten Wards of Bad Luck that you asked me to inscribe, I have already completed them. Do you want to take a look at them now?”
“Of course, of course…”
“Haha. Well then, President Felic, Mr Herza and engineers, please follow me…” Seeing that this fella was being reckless, Moke could not help but feel contented. He thought, You almost gave me a heart attack just now. This time, I wanna see what kind of tricks you can still pull off. What an idiot. You actually asked a Master of Inscription to inscribe Wards of Bad Luck. Don’t you know just a single Ward of Bad Luck would cause a large piece of land to become barren? You actually recklessly asked for ten… I really want to see how are you going to explain yourself to the Supreme Council…
