Chapter Fifty: The More You Play, The Bigger It Gets

  In essence, in this magical world of wonders, magic seems complex, but to become a qualified magician, there are three necessary conditions.

  First, of course, is the incantation. This part is actually the simplest, as long as you become an apprentice under a certain magician, you can learn some, even if it's just the simplest low-level incantations.

  As for myself, the other two conditions are crucial: magical talent and sensory talent.

  Magic is spiritual power. Du Wei and Solstice actually belong to the same type of person: they are born with a certain amount of magical talent, and their spiritual power is more outstanding than ordinary people.

  However, they both have some shortcomings in their sensory abilities. This is the biggest flaw that previously limited the two from becoming true magicians.

  Now, this defect has been overcome in theory by Sorcery. Through pharmacology, he can produce artificial magical elements of various systems, and by increasing the concentration of magical elements in the surrounding environment, people with weak perception can also use magic... Although it is limited to the lowest level of magic. At least, in theory, this gap has been bridged.

  So now Solzhenitsyn's research direction is another aspect!

  Magic! That is spiritual power!

  Duvie and Solrskea both belong to a group of people who possess magical powers but lack sensory abilities.

  Then there are also large groups of people in this world who are the opposite of them: those who have a keen sense of perception but no magical talent!

  Now that magical elements can be artificially created... then, what if magic power could also be enhanced through artificial means?

  What would be the consequences of that...

  Du Wei and Solstice couldn't help but get extremely excited whenever they thought of this!

  If the problem of sensory power and magical power are overcome... then it means that the era where magicians reign supreme will come to an end!

  You have magic power, but no sense of it! Give you enough magical elements to create! You can use low-level magic now! At least become a low-level magician.

  You have a sense of feeling, but no magic! I'll give you a boost to your magic! Then you can also use low-level magic! At least become a low-level magician!

  Even... even if you're an ordinary person, with no magical talent and no sensory abilities! No problem! At worst, I'll just use artificial means to make up for both of those things for you!

  If Solskaya's research is successful, then in Du Wei's view, this would be a groundbreaking significance!

  Everyone can become a magician!!

  It was precisely because of this great goal that Du Wei, in the midst of economic tension, tried his best to satisfy any money-burning requirements for the Sorcerer's trial! He threw away thousands of gold coins without hesitation, and from now on, as long as conditions permit, he wouldn't mind throwing out a few tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

  If it's really possible to research a man-made way to enhance magical power through medicine...

  Du Wei couldn't help but occasionally YY:

  Gather 30,000 soldiers! Give each person a bottle of magical potion and distribute enough magical elements... Then, the 30,000 soldiers will all be magicians!

  Even if it's just the lowest level of magician... this is absolutely a power that can change the history of the continent!

  A legion of 35,000 magicians!!

  And as long as production can keep up... it's not just 3 to 5 thousand... even a magical army of 30 to 50 thousand people is theoretically possible!

  Just thinking about it in my mind is exciting!

  It just seems now that although Solskaya is almost busy as can be, cooped up in the lab all day, sleeping only three to five hours a day... yet progress is almost zero.

  Du Wei wasn't without thoughts of stimulants and the like... after all, what's known as magical power is actually just spiritual energy. Du Wei naturally thought that if he could have some kind of stimulant from his past life that would excite people's spirits, wouldn't that be equivalent to having strong spiritual energy?

  As for Du Wei's hypothesis, Sorovsky also considered it seriously, but he immediately rejected the possibility.

  "There are many things that can make people excited after taking them, such as a thing called 'Ice Cream Fruit' from the ice-sealed forests in the north, which has a similar effect. After taking it, people's spirits will be lifted, and if taken excessively, they may even experience some hallucinations, feeling like they are floating on air. I've heard that many nobles love this 'Ice Cream Fruit', and at private gatherings... um, they use it as a food to set the mood."

  Du Wei's eyes lit up... Could it be a rave party? It seems that no matter how the world changes, some rich people's lives are always decadent and absurd...

  "But these things that can stimulate people's spirits, their effects are limited. At most, they can only increase a person's spiritual excitement by a little, but cannot increase the total amount of spiritual power much. And to use magic, the required spiritual power is far more than what ordinary people possess! This type of stimulant is far from enough. I've calculated it, if you want this stimulant's effect to reach the point where an ordinary person's spiritual power can be used for magic... unless..."

  "Unless... " Solrschia smiled wryly. "Unless you let one person eat a hundred large tubs of Ice Cream Fruit! And now it's known that this Ice Cream Fruit, not to mention eating a hundred tubs, even if you dare to eat more than a small plate, your heart will stop beating due to excessive excitement and die immediately!" Solrschia said here, smiled wryly: "Unless your heart is as strong as a giant dragon! Maybe it can withstand the side effects of a hundred tubs of Ice Cream Fruit. However, if we could find a giant dragon... then the dragon's magical power would already be very strong, and there would be no need to use any means to become a magician!"

  Duviv thought for a moment, patted Solzhenitsyn, whose eyes were red from lack of sleep: "The future is bright! The road is arduous! — I believe in you, work hard!"

  Then, Du Wei clapped his hands refreshingly and handed this difficult problem over to Solskjaer to worry about.

  Du Wei is not in a hurry. He's not in a hurry at all.

  Although "Stellar Magic" has been cultivated for some days, it still hasn't broken through the first hurdle and can't feel any stellar power. However, the incantation that Saimel taught him, and his daily meditation at night, have greatly enhanced Duwei's own spiritual strength.

  And now, it seems like there's nothing urgent in life that requires him to master some great magical power.

  He, a noble, has no worries about food and clothing, with a large number of servants serving him. Now, through his monopoly on the gambling industry in the Rolin Plains area, Du Wei's hands are already overflowing with gold coins.

  What else can he worry about?

  Oh... maybe there's still a small problem with that.

  Behind the castle was originally a large farm, which produced enough grain, vegetables and fruit to meet the needs of the castle, with some surplus for sale.

  Du Wei requisitioned another abandoned warehouse next to this farm, and now Du Wei comes here every day to stay for a while.

  What Solksya came up with is that thing called Huoyao, which is now undergoing a series of intense creative work...

  Du Wei spent money to buy various materials and hired some craftsmen, including carpenters, sculptors, blacksmiths, even a tailor, plus seven or eight servants in the castle, forming Du Wei's fireworks development team.

  Du Wei got the fire medicine, the first thought is that this thing can be used to make fireworks and earn money! This world does not need fire medicine, nor does it need hot weapons. Because any low-level magician can cast a fireball, with a power comparable to a single-person rocket launcher.

  Even if it's not a magician, a martial artist who can wield internal energy can also use internal energy to shoot out various wind blades and other martial arts techniques...

  In this case, Du Wei thought he could at most come up with some *local-made stuff that was useless.

  Making fireworks is much more practical!

  Thanks to some experiences in his previous life, Du Wei from his previous life grew up in a rural village when he was young. He had seen some things in the local workshops that made fireworks and firecrackers in the villages. He could even make a firecracker with just a few rolls of newspaper and a small amount of gunpowder! Although it was rough, it would definitely make a loud noise!

  Du Wei revealed a bit of his skill in front of those craftsmen, immediately astonishing everyone! After confirming that this young master was not casting magic, Du Wei explained the effect of the yellow powder and then made some demands.

  Du Wei wasn't very interested in that kind of earth-shattering firework, he just wanted to be able to create some beautiful fireworks.

  So-called fireworks... aren't they just things that, after being ignited, can spout out colorful flames in all directions?!

  As long as there is fire, there's actually no difficulty in craftsmanship. Even the local workshop in Du Wei's previous life's village could make it, and Du Wei believes he should be fine too.

  The color of the flame was a mystery to Du Wei, but in the pharmacology he was familiar with in this world, he knew that some special things would emit different colored flames when burned, as long as they were mixed with fire medicine appropriately.

  These craftsmen are not fools, once the principle is understood, someone quickly made something much more beautiful than the crude firework Du Wei made. After igniting it, the noise was loud and clear!

  Then the fireworks were also brought out. Du Wei was most proud of a wooden carving in the shape of a goddess that he had asked a sculptor to carve. The goddess held a water bottle in her hand, and as soon as the fuse was lit, the mouth of the bottle could spray out four-colored flames!

  In this era, such a thing is undoubtedly a miracle! This achievement made everyone present almost pop their eyes out! Even the craftsmen who participated in the production and the sculptor couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, loudly praising the great goddess of light with the most devout voice, thinking that it was a divine miracle bestowed by the gods!

  Du Wei immediately patted his forehead and named this product "Dawn Goddess of Forgiveness".

  After plagiarizing the classic move name of Aquarius Gold Saint in Saint Seiya, Du Wei is still not satisfied!!

  After all, this "Dawn Goddess of Forgiveness" is too small. The fireworks that came out were only as high as one person.

  If you want to do something, do it big!

  Du Wei wants to drum up the kind of excitement from his past life, every National Day, those fireworks! One shot fired into the sky! Then exploded in mid-air, flames shooting everywhere! That scene is just cool!

  This Dawn Goddess is nothing compared to her, she's just a child's plaything.

  But this is difficult!

  Du Wei spoke for half a day, but couldn't explain to the craftsmen how to "launch" the fireworks into the sky! After thinking for a while, Du Wei realized that he had gotten himself into the realm of artillery... This had already exceeded the level of fireworks and entered the domain of "cannons"!

  It's really hard to explain the explosive power of gunpowder, the principle of jet propulsion and recoil etc. to these craftsmen... In the end, a bold craftsman tried it once, but because he put too much gunpowder in, it resulted in a small-scale explosion, accidentally injuring two people (fortunately not seriously, they recovered after two days of rest).

  But everyone agrees: this is a punishment and warning from the gods!

  So even if Du Wei puts on a young master's airs, there will absolutely be no one who dares to go further and do this kind of thing again.

  Du Wei couldn't help but be speechless: "Religious worship is killing people..."

  Since shooting from the ground to the sky didn't work out, Du Wei could only rack his brains again.

  After a night of hard thinking, Du Wei came up with an even more astonishing plan:

  Since it's no good launching from the ground upwards... I'll just drop them down from the sky!

  But... how can we get up there... Do we have to ask a magician to use flying magic?

  That's too lacking in technical content!

  Du Wei was very disdainful of this idea.

  Moreover, any magician casting fire magic would be more spectacular than this fireworks display. If we could invite a magician to do it, then we wouldn't even need the fireworks! A single fire magic spell would be truly stunning!

  But without magic... how can we reach heaven?

  Du Wei suddenly felt ridiculous... Can't just let himself start from scratch and build an airplane?

  This is getting bigger and bigger.

  The skill of making airplanes is definitely not possessed by Du Wei... So, apart from airplanes, are there other ways?

  Du Wei's eyes lit up!
