Wizard: I can predict the future

Nord decided to use this alchemical device as an opportunity for deduction.

If it can be successful on the first try, it would certainly be a timely help.

Even if he fails, he can roughly judge the power and difficulty of crafting the artifact based on the knowledge he has accumulated in the deduction, and thus decide whether to continue investing in the source point deduction.

After all, three deduction opportunities are not enough to upgrade both first-tier sorcery spells to perfection.

It's even uncertain whether one of the first-tier sorcery spells can be upgraded to perfection.

After all, it took two deduction attempts to deduce the second-tier secondary lightning spell.

Without perfected witchcraft, although his strength increased significantly, it was not enough to erase the gap between him and other first-level wizard apprentices.

"Deduction direction: Alchemy manuscript."

In the first month, based on the contents of the manuscript, you begin to read books related to construction and enchanting.

[You are beginning your studies on "Fundamentals of Low-Order Algebraic Structures"]

[In the second month, you will continue studying "Basic Enchantment Pattern Analysis"]

You've noticed that enchantment runes and elemental runes share similarities, but their focuses are completely different; enchantment runes prioritize stability and energy release.

In the third month, you begin studying the "Basic Structure of the Miniature Magic Furnace".

You gradually realize that the alchemical artifacts described in this manuscript are not ordinary magical weapons.

[It contains a complex magic storage core that can accumulate magic power in advance and release it instantly when needed.]

In the fourth month, you continued your study of "Fundamentals of Morphological Variations in Metal Components".

……

[In the seventh month, you have gained a deep enough understanding of alchemy construction and enchanting, and you have reopened the alchemy manuscripts.]

You've roughly understood the function of this magical artifact.

This alchemical artifact does not have a single form, but rather possesses three forms.

[In the eighth month, you continue your research on the energy module of this magical artifact.]

……

[In the twelfth month, you finally completed the initial analysis of the manuscript.]

[Are you sure that if this magical artifact is successfully forged, its power will far surpass the Vacuum Rift Ring Spell you possess?]

Nord slowly opened his eyes.

A wealth of knowledge about alchemy construction and enchantment patterns flooded my mind.

He looked down at the manuscript on the table, his expression growing increasingly serious.

The value of this magical artifact was greater than he had imagined.

Through this deduction, Nord was even able to sketch out the complete form of this magical artifact in his mind.

The first form is similar to the pistol from the previous life.

However, it is much larger than a regular pistol, almost as long as an arm and several centimeters wide, making it look more like a pyrotechnic hand cannon.

This is the most energy-efficient form, capable of rapidly launching attacks similar to magic missiles, equivalent to a standard spell with a power of thirty points.

The second form is referred to in the manuscript as a swarm of cannons.

In this form, the artifact unfolds to both sides, and dozens of miniature cannons inside are activated simultaneously, releasing a large number of magical energy projectiles in a short period of time.

The advantage of this form is its extremely wide coverage area, making it suitable for suppressing large numbers of enemies.

Moreover, each magic-powered projectile possesses a power level exceeding 45 points, meeting the standard power standard.

The drawbacks are also very obvious: each magic cannon shot requires the wizard to use mental power and magic to adjust the flight direction.

The final form was referred to in the manuscript as the Judgment Beam.

In this form, the magical artifact will fully unfold, with all magical channels converging into a main axis. After compressing the magical power stored in the core to its limit, it will release a high-density beam of magical energy.

This form is the ultimate killing move of this magical artifact, with a power level of an astonishing ninety points, far exceeding the standard of a first-tier magical spell.

Nord slowly stood up.

At this moment, the structure of this magical artifact kept appearing in his mind.

Standard configuration, swarm formation, and judgment beam.

The three forms fold over each other and transform through the same magical core.

The more Nord thought about it, the more unsettled he became.

He even had an urge to immediately re-enter the source point and continue the deduction.

But he quickly suppressed the thought.

The difficulty of this magical artifact was far greater than he had initially imagined.

Much of the alchemical knowledge contained in the manuscript is beyond the scope of what can be accessed in the Ashes Academy's first-floor library.

If he continues to deduce without any preparation, two years may not be enough for him to fully grasp it.

Nord opened the crystal ball, entered the library module, and quickly redeemed two books related to the alchemy manuscript.

After the redemption was completed, the college points were almost zero.

Looking at the dwindling points on the screen, Nord remained silent for a moment before turning off the crystal ball.

The night outside the window was already deep.

Nord stood at the desk for a moment, pondering, before finally putting on his outer robe, leaving the central stone building, and heading towards Back Corner Alley.

If you don't have enough academy points, then use magic stones to make up for it.

An hour later.

Nord returned to the study with a dozen or so books on enchanting and construction.

These books do not involve any witchcraft; they are merely higher-level knowledge and are far less expensive than witchcraft.

Even so, it still cost him three thousand magic stones.

The Stability of the Magic Furnace and Enchanted Patterns

Alchemical Structures and Spatial Relationships

Enchantment Pattern Energy Buffer

High-Density Magic Channel Loss Analysis

……

These book titles may seem dry, but they are all key to his subsequent deductions.

A moment later, Nord looked at the panel.

[Source: 22.4]

He took a deep breath.

"Continue the simulation."

"Direction of deduction: Complete analysis of the alchemy manuscript."

[In the first month, you begin systematically reading the alchemy books you just purchased.]

Because of your previous experience, this content is no longer unfamiliar to you.

……

In the sixth month, I began to redraw the internal structure of the manuscript and tried to understand its principles.

……

[In the fourteenth month, you finally mastered the structure and principles of this magical artifact.]

You named it: Pandora

[Deduction Ended]

[Source: 10.4]

Nord slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at the alchemy manuscript on the table.

This time, those lines that were once obscure and difficult to understand are no longer like a chaotic fog.

He remained silent for a moment, tidied up the table, and then went back to his room to rest.

The next day, Nord found Markov again.

This time, he planned to have Markov help him purchase the refining materials.

Although the Thorn family's main business is potions, given Markov's current status within the family, it's much more convenient for him to make the contact than for Nord to search for each family individually.

Moreover, among these materials are two items that ordinary apprentices cannot simply buy.

One of them is the Karak Magic Crystal, the core energy source used to create miniature magic furnaces.

If it's just ordinary magic crystals, they're not difficult to buy.

What Knord needs are Karak crystals, which have enormous energy and can continuously absorb and store magic power when combined with enchantments. They are often used in golems and high-frequency release artifacts.

The second material is hollow-patterned mithril.

These are mainly used in space-related magical artifacts, and are expensive and rare, but fortunately, Nord doesn't have much demand for them.
