Ilya was originally immersed in reverie trying to figure out the meaning of the two new symbols.
At the same time, it is also speculated that the symbol in the hand of His Highness Ron was originally there, but he got it from the dean.
When Ron asked her a question, she came back to her senses:
"Increase the number of times the staff can be used..."
"This usually involves improving the quality of the staff itself, using better materials, or using more expensive auxiliary materials for engraving the magic circle..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Ron quickly raised his hand to stop, with a headache, "Is there any way to increase the number of times without continuing to increase the high cost?"
Ilya looked at him strangely. "If there was such a way, magic circles would have become popular long ago."
The main reason why it is difficult to popularize the magic circle is that it is obscure and difficult to understand, and the materials are expensive and scarce.
Anything involving the magic circle often means burning money.
Ilya Although he is committed to popularizing magic circles to ordinary people, he also knows how difficult it is.
Ron was silent for a while, with thoughts swirling in his mind, and suddenly asked, "When you usually use magic circles, are they engraved on the staff?"
"It doesn't have to be a staff." Ilya shook his head, "It can also be a necklace, bracelet, clothes, pants, shoes, etc., as long as it is a personal item."
"What about space magic arrays, city barrier magic arrays, etc.?" Ron was curious.
Ilya laughed, "This is not the same concept. The former are mostly magic arrays for personal use, so they will be engraved on personal belongings, while the latter are large-scale magic arrays, the materials used are more exquisite, and the gold coins spent are in units of tens of thousands. They are not on the same level at all."
The knowledge related to magic circles is very simple even to Ilya, but she is still happy to popularize it to Ron.
But just these are enough to give Ron a headache.
Although he also understood the basic principles of the magic circle, he did not know any more profound knowledge.
At this time, I had no choice but to dig into the matter shamelessly. "Then what is the difference between ordinary people using magic arrays and magicians using magic arrays? Why is there such a huge difference in the number of times the staff can be used?"
"Because the magic circle needs to be activated." Ilya replied immediately, "The magician can activate Elemental Stone with his own magic power, directly attracting surrounding elements and integrating them into the magic circle."
"But ordinary people can only rely entirely on Elemental Stone's own abilities to activate themselves, and they are unable to guide the elements attracted around them, resulting in a lot of waste."
Ron Listen carefully and write down on the white paper with a pen.
"So the reason why the cost of using magic arrays is too high for ordinary people is that the materials and Elemental Stone are expensive, and the second is that they themselves cannot make good use of the magic arrays."
"If we want to popularize magic circles, we must solve these two problems?"
Ron asked after thinking for a moment.
"Of course." Ilya looked helpless, "The latter is actually not bad. If the cost of the former can be reduced to a low enough level, it doesn't matter if ordinary people waste energy."
Ron looked a little pity, thinking that it would be great if Everchanging Radish could copy all the characteristics of the item.
In this way, what kind of material is Elemental Stone? Isn't it just a matter of planting a Everchanging Radish?
But unfortunately, this is just a fantasy.
Forget it.
Ron thought.
Anyway, it was originally just for the purpose of getting more insurance.
Now that the cost is too high, he no longer thinks about it.
However, it was rare to be able to consult with a master of magic circles like Ilya, so Ron started asking other questions about magic circles.
Ilya was also very enthusiastic in answering my questions, not at all cold like when I met him in the past.
Boom, boom, boom.
I don't know how much time passed before there was a knock on the study door.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and Nora's little face poked in from the outside.
Seeing that the store manager and Ilya were one meter apart and polite to each other, Nora felt relieved and then whispered:
"Manager, the living room has been cleaned up. Mr. Mason and Mr. Harper have gone home. Sister Edith is lying on the sofa and has fallen asleep."
"That's it... then you should go back early and pay attention to safety on the road." Ron instructed.
"Ah?" Nora was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sigh, "Oh... Goodbye, store manager."
She originally thought that the store manager would say, "It's so late, let's just stop here today" and then send the two elf sisters away.
What happened now?
It's so late, does the store manager still want to keep them in the store?
Nora closed the door suspiciously, and finally glanced at the sister Ilya and found that she had no intention of leaving, and her eyes were full of interest.
After seeing Nora leave, Ilya immediately asked with curiosity, "Tell me more about the iron man you just mentioned."
"Uh... that one is called 'Gundam'... okay, I didn't say it, but it was just an idea of mine..."
Ron didn't notice anything strange about Nora, and continued to discuss some whimsical ideas with Ilya.
Ilya listened with great interest, and then refuted the feasibility of Ron's ideas one by one from the perspective of the magic circle.
Although many of Ron's ideas cannot be implemented, or even if they are implemented, it will cost a huge amount of money and the gains outweigh the losses.
But these wild ideas appealed to Ilya, and she suddenly had a lot of inspiration.
For example, a "car" that does not require horses and only relies on Elemental Stone as power.
For example, a "telephone" can allow two people thousands of miles apart to communicate instantly.
Another example is the "Internet" that allows countless people to share information in a virtual world constructed by some kind of magic circle.
Although Ilya thinks the names of these things are very weird, it does not prevent her from appreciating the bold imagination in them.
Ron is also in high spirits.
Although he doesn't show it obviously at ordinary times, in fact, he still misses the old world very much in his heart.
Whether it's barbecue seasoning, Elemental Cards, hot pot or Legendary Kill, besides finding it interesting to tinker with these things in another world, it's also because he misses his old life.
Although he had learned a lot about magic from books before, he felt that magic in this world had a lot in common with science in the original world.
But limited by my own knowledge, I couldn't figure out anything.
While currently discussing the magic circle with Ilya, he naturally thought of the convenient and practical things in the original world.
Unfortunately, after communicating with Ilya, he discovered that magic materials in other worlds are relatively scarce, and the cost of inscribing magic circles is quite high.
Most of his ideas have little chance of becoming reality.
And in another world, even if some things can be made, they actually don't mean much.
Such as cars.
For those who have the financial resources to use Elemental Stone as power, they can just carve a magic circle of levitation on the carriage. It is far more economical than relying solely on Elemental Stone for a car, and it is also faster.
Let's talk about Gundam.
Not to mention the cost, just the difficulty of operation after the production is completed can dissuade a large number of people.
And those who have the ability to control a Gundam are at least High-Level Warrior. They are physically strong and there is no need to control a Gundam and thus give up their own advantages.
In short, the situation that Ron originally fantasized about "being praised repeatedly for coming up with an idea" does not exist.
This made him quite regretful.
After much deliberation, it turns out that the magic-modified board game is the most reliable.
