Early in the morning, Aegwynn's husband Archmage's house became busy. Mr. Moroes, the housekeeper, was busy running around, giving orders here and there.
"Clean the tables here, hurry up."
"Is this milk from yesterday or today? Yesterday? Take it away quickly and replace it with today's milk."
"Why is there a corner of this bread missing? Who the hell ate it secretly? What, it was gnawed by mice. Put it up for me after it has been gnawed by mice. Are you out of your mind? Do you still want to do it?"
"Who mopped the floor this morning? Why is there so much water here? This is the only way for guests to pass by. Why don't you dry it quickly?"
"Today is the seventh birthday of the little master, and all the important guests are invited. Please cheer up for me." Moroes said in conclusion after giving some instructions. It turns out that today is Medivh's seventh birthday, and Aegwynn's husband's house is preparing for a birthday party.
It was almost noon, and the guests arrived one after another. It was only my seventh birthday this time, so there was no big banquet. All the guests invited were close friends.
Of course Karen is also on the invited list this time. But what is different from the last full moon banquet is that this time Karen is not attending as the alchemist master Drew, but as the prince High Elf.
This time, Karen did not come to Aegwynn's husband's house early. Instead, he waited for everyone to arrive before entering Aegwynn's husband's house with Vereesa, who was dressed in fine clothes. This time, His Majesty the King did not come to attend, but asked Prince Llane to attend. Karen was the one with the most distinguished status, so he arrived last.
It has been a few months since Karen came to Stormwind City as a prince, and there has been some big news. So everyone here knows Karen, and is enthusiastic about it Karen said hello, and Karen nodded in response. Vereesa also behaved very dignified and noble, and was extremely quiet. She was completely different from her usual self, and it was easy for people to think that it was her twin sister.
With the arrival of Karen, the banquet began soon. As the protagonist, Medivh was not at the banquet, but was brought up by the butler Moroes at the end of the banquet to accept everyone's blessings.
As the most distinguished person at the banquet, Karen first gave the prepared gifts and blessings.
Karen handed Medivh a box. Medivh thought it was a music box, but could not find the lid. Generally, music boxes make music sounds when the lid is opened.
"Insert one into the hole and press the button next to it." Karen took out a Magic Crystal from the space ring and handed it to Medivh.
Medivh obeyed and did as he was told. When he pressed the button, a ball of magic power emerged from the box and expanded instantly. A two-meter-long small dragon appeared on the box.
The dragon was so lifelike that it shocked people. Medivh almost threw away the box in his hand. Fortunately, the dragon was motionless and its body was somewhat transparent. You could vaguely see the blurry scene from one side to the other, which made people know it was fake.
"Is this a photo?" Or is Aegwynn's husband knowledgeable?
"Yes, this is the giant dragon I saw not long ago. Make it a toy for your children." Karen explained.
"It doesn't look like it's just a simple enchanted photo." Aegwynn's husband said while looking at the small box in Medivh's hand.
"Yes, I made some improvements. I added an enlarged magic circle. The retained image was enlarged ten times. However, the magic power did not increase, so it appeared a little thin and a little transparent.
In addition, you can try to continuously inject magic power." Karen said proudly.
Since Medivh is still young, has not started practicing, and has no magic power. Aegwynn's husband took the small box from Medivh's hand, pulled out Magic Crystal, and continued to inject his own magic power into the small hole. As a result, the image of the dragon started to move, and the dragon that shook its head and tail seemed to be alive, if only it were not so transparent, and it was still flashing.
"This... is this a magic material that leaves a shadow?" Aegwynn's husband was a little surprised. It was originally worth a lot as an enchanted piece of equipment. This is a more advanced enchantment than enchanted weapons and equipment. The sharpness of an enchanted weapon makes many civilian knights sell their iron, and this more advanced enchanted equipment is even more valuable. If the material is made of a magic material that leaves a shadow, the material itself will cost more money. Is such a precious thing used to make toys for children?
"It's not a photo-taking material, it's just an ordinary Willow-Tin Wood." Karen explained that Willow-Tin Wood is an ordinary magic material. Although it is also a magic material, it is very common, can be mass-produced, and is cheap.
"How come Willow-Tin Wood's enchanted photo has such a long-lasting image?" Aegwynn's husband asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, it's just multiple enchanted images. Multiple enchanted images are put together continuously. One time is very short, but when multiple are connected, it takes a long time. So it is necessary to continuously inject magic power, and you see, the image is still flickering. It is caused by switching between different enchantments." Karen explained.
"It's incredible, how did you think of it and how did you do it?" Aegwynn's husband just sighed. Of course, such innovative technology would not be said in public.
In fact, Karen came up with the idea. At first, Karen planned to use enchanted photos to make a movie, but he gave up after discovering problems with the material. But when thinking of movies, Karen thought of film. Continuous pictures are played from the film frame by frame. So can I also make the pictures into pieces of film and play them continuously? Wouldn't that be continuous?
This is the experimental result of Karen, which proves that the method is feasible. However, it was stillborn because it was too expensive and too troublesome. Just for a while, Karen used a dozen enchanted photos for the dragon to shake its tail. How many enchanted photos are needed to make an image as long as a movie? The materials for one enchanted photo are not cheap, so many times...
What's more, I want these enchanted images to be enchanted on a magic material, and played in order. The carving of the magic array pattern is also a delicate job. Without the help of Drew, Karen would definitely not be able to do it. Besides, the effect is not good, and the flashing is not smooth.
Thinking about the many enchanted photos Karen mentioned, the price of this toy is many times more expensive than Aegwynn's husband originally estimated. Aegwynn's husband is speechless. It is just a toy for children. Is it necessary to make it so expensive?
Others were also speechless. It was such an expensive gift from the beginning. How could you ask the people behind us to get rid of it?
Karen was also inspired by the last time he saw Thomas playing with Medivh. Poor little Medivh wanted to give him a childhood worth remembering, so I decided to make him a toy.
I happened to be researching enchanted photos, so I made a toy like this for him. As for the price, it was just an experiment anyway, and it was just a normal experiment consumption.
In the end, Medivh happily took over the toy from his father Aegwynn's husband. He was very satisfied with the toy and said thank you to Karen affectionately.
