126: Chapter 0126 Girl’s Heart
Compared to the serious letter written the first time using witchcraft parchment, Felin's second and third letters, for some unknown reason, had an increasingly familiar tone.
The third one even faintly carried the meaning of a younger sister playfully acting spoiled toward her older brother.
The letter paper emitted a light purple glow from the rune characters, and the lines were filled with intimacy and playfulness, occasionally punctuated by cute exclamations.
This made Li Size can't help but imagine if she also had a sly smile on her face while writing, her fingertips twirling a feather pen engraved with miniature runes.
Li Size couldn't fathom the thoughts of this mischievous young girl. He sometimes couldn't even figure out Felina, let alone the less familiar Felin?
He always felt this girl was like a book written in witchcraft secret language, with miniature rune locks carved on the edges of the pages, each one hiding an unexpected content.
He put away his wandering thoughts and continued reading Felin's letter. The third matter addressed the serious business:
Li Size's witchcraft version of firearms had given her great inspiration.
Although many Mechanical Alchemy wizards could craft witchcraft firearms, and some creations were even more powerful, Li Size's wildly imaginative concepts truly lived up to his Genius reputation.
He could always find new ideas within the structure of traditional Rune Arrays, much like using familiar rune notes to compose a witchcraft melody never heard before.
Especially the use of the Hurricane Rune combined with the Lubrication Rune, and Li Size's unique Dual Rune Superposition technique was actually more sophisticated than the traditional rune superposition technique she was familiar with.
This Dual Rune Superposition in Li Size's design diagram allowed the second rune to achieve fifty percent Demonic Energy amplification effect.
Whereas what she knew generally only reached thirty percent!
This gap provided an almost overwhelming advantage in actual combat.
Li Size's design diagram did not contain the corresponding knowledge for the Dual Rune Superposition technique; it only included a description of its effect.
Strangely, Felin, who was interested in everything, surprisingly did not ask Li Size for this technology this time.
What a sensible little girl!
Li Size guessed that perhaps Felin believed this was Li Size's unique secret skill, not something that could be traded.
She seemed to understand the boundaries of respecting others' technology, a point especially rare among Alchemists.
This guess made Li Size's good impression of Felin rise a bit more. Although they communicated across letters, it surprisingly gave Li Size a feeling reminiscent of passing notes to a girl he liked during his middle and high school days in his past life.
That style of communication, brief in writing but deep in feeling, with words carrying double meanings, made his heart warm slightly.
Hiss, such a pure feeling!
Felin stated in her letter that Li Size's witchcraft version of firearms had given her great inspiration.
She was also going to independently design her first witchcraft version of a firearm, and she would definitely make Li Size extremely surprised when she did!
She even drew a small smiley face symbol, as if she could already imagine Li Size's surprised expression upon seeing her creation.
Haha, this girl is so cute!
At the same time, she also sent Li Size the new alloy formula as agreed upon in Li Size's reply—mithril silver.
Its limit energy level reached 8, and it was known among Intermediate Zero Ring alloys for its high strength and good energy transmission performance.
This was undoubtedly one of the most suitable foundational Materials for Li Size's current project.
Li Size's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he needed. He couldn't wait and immediately used Pay-to-Win:
[Consume 2000 Energy Points, Unlock New Alloy Formula - mithril silver]
mithril silver:
Refined by fusing and smelting mithril, witchcraft crystal powder, red copper, raw iron, etc. Its limit Demonic Energy level reaches 8.0, possessing both high strength and excellent Demonic Energy conductivity.
The detailed ratio and key refining points instantly flooded Li Size's mind:
Including the temperature control of the Rune Furnace, the witchcraft catalysis steps for material pretreatment, and other key processes became perfectly clear.
The fourth matter concerned Li Size's concept for a witchcraft version of a super-long-range firearm. Felin was again astonished.
Because no Wizard Apprentice had ever dared to think about or attempt such a thing.
Yet Li Size not only had the idea and the technique but had even started drafting the blueprints, only needing to overcome a few key technical hurdles to complete the design!
Felin instantly felt her IQ couldn't keep up and stated that once the blueprints were ready, she absolutely had to be allowed to observe them!
She even used an exaggerated metaphor: 'It's like the excitement an ancient Dwarf felt upon first seeing the Heart of Lava!'
As for the super-long-range issue Li Size mentioned, since it was a matter of foundational knowledge and accumulation, it wasn't very difficult for Felin.
She stated directly that both witchcraft and Alchemy Runes had solutions for it.
The witchcraft solution was the Zero-Ring Sorcery Eagle Eye Spell, which could increase the caster's basic vision by two kilometers.
Every point of the basic attributes (Mental Energy + Agility) could grant an additional three hundred meters of vision bonus, and a faint golden Eagle Eye Rune would appear at the corner of the eyes during casting.
Li Size silently calculated:
Good heavens!
His 7 points in Mental Energy and 7 points in Agility, plus the effect coefficient bonus for an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, could actually increase his vision by 6.56 kilometers.
For those powerhouses with hundreds or thousands of Mental Energy, couldn't they see through the Duchy or even entire planes with a single glance?
This gave him a more intuitive understanding of the capabilities of high-level Wizards.
If Li Size were to use it himself, this spell would be sufficient.
However, the super-long-range witchcraft firearm (barrett imitation) Li Size designed was intended for others to use as well; he couldn't expect everyone to learn the Eagle Eye Spell, could he?
In terms of Alchemy Runes, there was a Zero Ring 'Vision Enhancement' rune combination that could provide the holder of the witchcraft item with an additional 1.5 kilometers of vision.
Furthermore, Felin could extrapolate; if it was nighttime combat, the Zero Ring 'Night Vision' rune would also need to be integrated.
The corresponding Zero-Ring Sorcery was Dark Vision, which caused the pupils to emit a faint ghostly green glow upon activation.
The 1.5 kilometers of vision, when upgraded to the Great Master level and further optimized, could reach 3.6 kilometers.
If Li Size used the Dual Rune Superposition technique, coupled with various skill bonuses and the generous side effects of the Meditation Method, he could also approach a 10-kilometer vision bonus.
This was even more powerful than the 5-kilometer limit Li Size had envisioned, meaning the ballistic flight distance and range of the super-long-range witchcraft firearm needed another upgrade.
He couldn't help but give a wry smile; unexpectedly, the problem arose in the area he was best at.
Felin hinted to Li Size that she could procure both these spells and runes, but it would come at a rather significant cost.
She drew a small witchcraft trade balance rune on the edge of the letter paper:
On one side was the pattern of a witchcraft rune scroll, and on the other was an item that looked like a witchcraft motorcycle design blueprint.
Ahem, this little brat just wants the design blueprints for my new witchcraft motorcycle, she deserves a spanking!
Li Size smiled and shook his head but didn't feel annoyed in the least.
Finally, Felin thanked Li Size for the mental power amplification potion he gifted her and asked which Potion Great Master had made it.
The medicinal effect clearly surpassed ordinary market stock; she even used professional terminology like '98% Demonic Energy Purity' to describe it, showing she was quite knowledgeable in this area.
It seemed Felin never considered that her brother was a dual Genius in both artifacts and medicine, hehe!
The rune lamp in the Laboratory flickered momentarily, as if agreeing with his thought.
Maintain the mystery!
Li Size decided to keep this secret for now, saving it to give her a surprise later.
His fingertip traced across the witchcraft crystal ball on the table; a faint blue light surfaced within the sphere, as if recording this decision.
