Chapter 83: “Self-Recharging” Rune
In the following days, William was almost entirely imrsed in the laboratory, only returning to his bedroom to rest when he couldn’t bear it any longer.
Angela also didn’t disturb William. She had taken a liking to sleeping on the chest of the maid Rosie, which caused Rosie so minor inconvenience.
During these days, William devoted all his energy to the runic engraving of civilian enchanting products.
In the ga of his previous life, developing runes only required so random scribbles, relying on luck to see if they worked. Engraving runes also only required following a set pattern, without much difficulty.
But now, William couldn’t do that. This was a real world, where engraving runes not only required runic patterns but also the output of magical power during engraving and corresponding techniques. These all needed to be reproduced by William.
That’s why, even though William had mastered these runes in his previous life, he still needed to spend so much effort figuring them out again from scratch.
However, once William finalized the process of engraving these runes, it beca much easier for others to imitate his thods.
Holding the engraving pen, William sketched the final stroke on a dim and faded elental crystal. The complete runic pattern covering the crystal had taken shape.
William inspected the elental crystal in his hand and felt satisfied. This ti, it should be a success.
With a thought, magic flowed before his eyes as William looked at the crystal through elental vision.
In William’s elental vision, tiny azure elental particles were slowly condensing from all around into the crystal in William’s hand, and the brilliance of the crystal also brightened slightly.
Sure enough, the developnt of the “self-recharging” rune was a success!
The condensing of azure elental particles into the crystal indicated that this elental crystal, which had already exhausted its water elental power, was slowly restoring its magic power.
This was the effect William wanted to achieve, and it was the core of civilian enchanting products.
In this world, the path of technological developnt had been almost blocked, and the basis of all power was magic.
Therefore, naturally, in the world of Gaia, areas rich in magical elents could form elental crystal mines, producing various types of elental crystals, and also producing more precious magic gems.
The power contained in magic gems was much purer than that in elental crystals, with almost no impurities.
At the sa ti, the production of magic gems in each elental crystal mine was quite rare, and their prices were tens to hundreds of tis that of elental crystals.
The biggest difference between the two was that after consuming the magic power contained within, magic gems could automatically absorb corresponding elental particles from the surroundings, refilling their power, whereas elental crystals couldn’t do this.
In other words, magic gems had an automatic recharging effect, able to refill their magic power automatically.
On the other hand, elental crystals were disposable items. After using up the magic power contained within, they beca nothing more than ordinary stones with no other uses.
Even the lowest-grade magic gems were worth around a hundred gold.
anwhile, an ordinary elental crystal was priced at around ten gold.
Magic gems were mainly used in magic equipnt, weapons, and high-end items, while elental crystals, because of their impure magic power, could mostly only be used to recharge magic arrays, magic crystal cannons, and other magical products.
The biggest obstacle preventing commoners from using enchanting products wasn’t technology but cost!
Take a magic air conditioner as an example. Does it really contain a high level of runic technology?
No, as long as one knows the most basic “magic power guidance” rune and “ice breeze spell” magic array, they can achieve similar effects to air conditioners in the previous world.
But the biggest issue lies in the source of magic power!
Just like electrical appliances in the previous world needed electricity to operate, enchanting products also needed to provide magic power to function.
If using water elental crystals, then the elental crystal would need to be replaced every few days. The cost was too high, and only the top elite of the kingdom could afford such a purely personal expense.
If using water elental magic gems, to be honest, the current production volu of magic gems is still not enough to et the consumption of various magical equipnt and weapons in the kingdom, let alone using them for civilian products.
To promote enchanting products to the civilian sector, reduce prices, and increase practicality, these are all difficulties that must be overco.
Therefore, the runic enchantnt that can allow depleted elental crystals to once again gather magic power is undoubtedly the most important invention for the vast majority of ordinary people.
This is a major breakthrough that allows commoners to access and enjoy the convenience brought by magic power to their lives.
Indeed, in the past world, after this series of runic enchantnts were promoted, an increasing number of civilian enchanting products elevated the overall level of enchanted products in the entire world, and their prices dropped to a level that commoners could afford.
This was akin to igniting a revolution in enchanted products in the world of Gaia!
Therefore, the “self-recharging” runic enchantnt on the elental crystal in William’s hand was the key to opening a new era.
William tightly grasped the crystal, slowly calming his excited heart. After repeating the engraving hundreds or even thousands of tis and discarding countless magic crystals, he finally succeeded in reproducing the “self-recharging” runic enchantnt from his previous life.
However, rely reproducing the “self-recharging” runic enchantnt was not enough. William’s past experience told him that rely mastering this runic enchantnt was far from sufficient.
No one would sit idly by and let such a huge opportunity fall into the hands of others.
Smart people were not limited to just William. The “self-recharging” runic enchantnt wasn’t such a high-end technology. Even though players in the past had taken so security asures, it was quickly deciphered by others and spread.
Therefore, William needed to find a way to delay or even prevent others from deciphering the “self-recharging” runic enchantnt.
Restricting the sales targets of the products was not practical. The civilian enchanted products that William envisioned must first reduce their prices to the lowest level, adopt a strategy of small profits but quick turnover or even no profit but quick turnover, and quickly get ordinary people to accept and start using William’s products.
Only when civilian enchanted products began to deeply penetrate people’s lives could they earn more profits in the future.
Since there was no way with the products, William had to focus on the runes themselves.
William knew that there was a special type of rune called the “concealnt” rune, whose function was to protect the secrets of other runes from being peeked at and deciphered by others.
If forcibly deciphered, it would trigger the self-destruct program of the “concealnt” rune, causing the rune to self-destruct and prevent others from obtaining the rune combination protected by the “concealnt” rune.
Trying to reverse-engineer the rune combination with the “concealnt” rune from the external rune sequence alone was a sky-high difficulty.
This thod was often used by runemasters in high-end enchanted products. Each runemaster had their own special rune inheritance, and by using the “concealnt” rune, they could prevent others from stealing their exclusive runes through enchanted products.
Therefore, the “concealnt” series of runes were very suitable for William’s current situation.
And conveniently, among the people William knew, there was one who mastered the “concealnt” rune.
That person was Runemaster Joseph Dahr!
