"Lord Ren, our new project isn't even finished yet, how are we starting another new project? Honestly, I just suddenly understood what your project is actually for and what kind of benefits it would have once successful..."
"I know you're excited, but please don't get excited. I'm talking to the doll."
Ren looks at the book that suddenly started babbling endlessly and seriously interrupts him, "Now, I command you to shut up and listen first."
"Doll, is there any possibility of creating a metal ball... a box would work, a bottle would work, doesn't matter—creating something like that which normally looks like a decoration, but when thrown out, can instantly explode?"
Seeing Betty staring at him, Ren immediately states his idea: "You could also change the trigger condition, like needing to input some magic power before throwing it."
"Anyway, similar to that teapot just now, but I hope it doesn't need chanting and can be instantly activated."
From the battle just now, Ren saw many things... he saw magic's power, saw magic's wonder, and also saw magic's super long startup time. Every cast needs chanting, and chanting wastes tons of time and opportunities.
If instant casting were possible, there were several moments that could have changed the battle.
Thinking this far, Ren suddenly thought of hand grenades... If magical power could be stored there, and when needed, you pull the safety pin and throw it to explode, wouldn't the battle situation be much better?
"It's possible, but what's the point?"
The doll is somewhat confused: "This kind of device—the greater the power, the more expensive the materials needed to make it. There's no cost-effectiveness at all. Just casting a fireball yourself would be stronger!"
"What about using it in situations like just now? Giving it to a low-level mage, or even a mage apprentice." Ren says with a smile.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"As the God of Technology, wanting to do some tech stuff isn't too much, right?"
Ren says with a smile: "Tell me, if spellcasters could buy this kind of 'technological creation,' wouldn't they develop different feelings toward me? If the spellcasters in the mortal realm could also craft such creations themselves, wouldn't they develop faith in me?"
Betty listens to Ren's words and suddenly falls into thought.
It seems this path could indeed work.
According to conventional thinking, magic means constructing spell models and channeling magic power out, or creating a magical device to assist in casting stronger spells.
Take that battle just now—either you chant and then cast magic, or you take a magical item, chant, and then cast magic beyond your own limits.
But Ren's words seem to propose a completely new path.
Magic is already stored there, only needing a little stimulation to instantly activate.
For battle situations, this should be advantageous.
No, very advantageous.
Using this kind of creation, fighting above your level would become easy...
Betty's brain spins frantically, although she doesn't actually have a brain.
The book knows no less than Betty, just this guy... doesn't have hands-on ability.
While Betty is thinking, he also reacts: "Amazing, Lord Ren, your thinking is truly unprecedented. Even if the God of Wisdom were here, he wouldn't dare say his wisdom surpasses yours. You actually thought of this solution—using magical devices for instant magic casting. Genius idea, this will change many magicians' combat methods..."
"Wait!" Ren looks surprised: "Book, are you saying there's never been this kind of magic before?!"
Magicians shouldn't be stupid, especially those who can grow up. Each one yearns to explore the world's mysteries—how could they not think that magical devices that don't need chanting would be more advantageous?
"Because only dragon language runes from dragons can store magic power. Humans, elves, or other spellcasting beings can only store through their bodies." Betty quickly understands Ren's surprise: "But the dragon race hasn't left Dragon Island for over ten thousand years."
"So you're saying to achieve hand grenades... instant magic bombs, you must use dragon magical runes? Even if we gave the method to humans, they couldn't replicate it?"
After brief amazement, Ren also reacts, his brow furrowing slightly.
This isn't good news.
Besides dragons, no race can use magical runes to store magic power...
Dragons are naturally powerful and probably don't need it anyway.
"Who says humans can't replicate it? I just said they don't know this knowledge."
Ren's thoughts are still wandering when Betty interrupts: "Magical runes are universal. Did you forget that human magical runes were also learned from elsewhere? It's just that humans don't know the knowledge of storing magic power."
"So you're saying humans, or any race, as long as they learn magic storage runes, can create them?" Ren seems to recall this is indeed the case.
"That's just the magic power... the most important rune for magic bombs. After carving, you can inject and store magic power, but to manufacture devices with attack power, you also need spell models with attack power, magic channel runes for transmitting magic power, trigger activation runes..."
Betty talks endlessly.
It seems Ren's idea has completely sparked her desire to explore.
She's also very excited about this new type of weapon.
After this period of cramming, Ren understands basic magical knowledge. Simply put, it's dragon language storage runes (TNT explosive), spell models (detonator), magic channel runes (fuse), activation runes (switch)... combined together becomes a TNT bomb!
Input magic power to activate, and it explodes. Whatever the spell model is determines the explosion effect!
"Betty, I hope you can create such a bomb as quickly as possible. Let's try it and see how it works... Don't make Annihilation Bullets, Doomsday Judgment, and definitely don't make Soul Devour or Mind Storm. Just make the simplest, low-level magic!"
Thinking of Betty's occasional mischievous tendencies, Ren can't help but shiver.
And at this moment.
Magic Space.
