109 Optimization Plan

“Shouldn’t you get a blacksmith to do such a thing?”

Sigmonds watched in shock as the other party personally started up the smelting furnace. He placed the Elementium Silver metal ingots in and melted them into a liquid that emitted silver light. Then, he guided them through magic power to form the embryonic form of runes.

“No, Demon Sealing runes need mana to activate an affinity when they’re cast,” the thin-armed enchanter replied as he tapped the mold of the embryonic Demon Sealing rune.

“I know… But this process only requires you to inject mana into the furnace, right? There’s no need to personally forge it. This process can be replaced by the corresponding molds.”

“It’s possible for the blacksmith to secretly replicate this embryonic rune mold. Once the embryonic rune is learned, at least 50 to 60% of the secret of this Demon Sealing rune will be revealed. This is something no enchanter can accept.”

To an enchanter, other than the 200-plus general-purpose runes publicly released by the Astral Council, the other Demon Sealing runes definitely wouldn’t be mass-produced using molds. This was equivalent to spreading their exclusive technology. Many enchantment shops relied on a few runes passed down from their families to survive. Exposing their technology was equivalent to smashing their bowl of rice.

As the person spoke, the hammer in his hand deviated slightly, causing the prototype rune to tilt slightly.

He clicked his tongue and threw the crooked rune prototype into the glowing recycling bin to melt it. Then, he said, “However, we will leave the removal of impurities from such failed products and refining them into metal ingots to the blacksmith. We won’t waste time on this.”

However, you have already wasted a lot of time doing this…

Sigmonds thought, but he didn’t say a word. He only continued taking note of the other party’s process.

After the mold of the Demon Sealing rune was forged and taken shape, the enchanter went through several steps of processing and polishing before placing it in the middle of the complicated nexus on the enchantment table. Then, the person placed the magic crystal that stored pure magic power into the groove of the enchantment table and lit the incense candles used to calm the mind.

After doing all the preparations, the person pressed his hands on the enchantment table and closed his eyes.

The magic crystals in the groove gradually turned into grayish-white powder and dissipated. Bright streams of light flowed out of the magic crystals and filled the entire enchantment table. After the streams of light lit up the 13 focal points on the enchantment table’s nexus one by one, they finally converged into the Demon Sealing rune in the middle. With a dazzling but not blinding flash, the production of a Demon Sealing rune was completed.

Sigmonds gestured to the quality assurance specialist beside him. The person went forward and picked up the Demon Sealing rune from the enchantment table. After a careful inspection, he said, “This one passes.”

“My luck wasn’t bad today. When magic finally gathered at the Stranger Constellation, my mind was still relatively clear,” the enchanter said with a forehead full of sweat.

“What do you mean? Is this related to the constellations?” Sigmond asked.

The other party replied in surprise, “Don’t you know? The enchantment table mimics the arrangement of the stars. The magic crystals used as fuel simulate the Realm of Light, and the Demon Sealing runes symbolize Currere. The purest magic power in the Realm of Light flows into the Astral World and is reflected with magic power of different natures. Finally, it is guided to Currere—simulating this process on a table is the basic principle of enchantment.”

This was also the main reason why the general-purpose Demon Sealing runes which William hired them to produce were highly defective.

As a general-purpose Demon Sealing rune to be installed in the Twilight Fortress, as the spell cores in the fortress required matching the 13 spell types, the Demon Sealing runes also required the circulation of 13 spell types without conflict.

This was too demanding for enchanters who made Demon Sealing runes. After all, they could only study three spells at most under the Astral Laws. Although they could convert magic of different natures through these ancient enchantment tables that had been inherited from the Seven Kingdoms Era, it was very easy for enchanters who had never controlled magic of other natures to make mistakes in this process.

After figuring out the specific principles of enchantment, Sigmonds raised a question.

“Then, can you only process the Demon Sealing runes with spells you’re proficient in?”

After a week of in-depth research in the enchantment factory and a detailed count of the frequency of defective products in the hands of every enchanter, Sigmonds summoned all the enchanters for a meeting.

The meeting was held inside the enchantment factory. Sigmonds had given all the enchanters a day off. When the enchanters returned today, they realized that the entire enchantment factory’s layout had been changed.

Previously, the entire enchantment factory had been divided into many separate compartments according to the standards of Thorn City’s Enchanter Association. However, all the compartments here had been removed, and the small smelting furnaces in each compartment had been removed. They had been replaced by standard blacksmith stands at the entrance of the enchantment factory.

As for the enchantment table, 13 were placed in a group and arranged in four rows.

“Although I’m only an amateur in enchantment, I have a rather immature idea of how to increase the efficiency of the project. I hope everyone can test it out.”

It was only Sigmonds’s first sentence.

The enchanters present looked at each other. They looked around the enchantment factory that had been modified beyond recognition and wondered what immature thoughts this person-in-charge, who wasn’t even a magic chanter, had.

“I’ve divided the entire enchantment process into four major steps and 22 minor processes, including starting with the smelting of Elementium Silver and ending with the quality inspection.”

As he spoke, he walked to the blacksmith at the door and walked to the end of the enchantment factory. Then, he said to them, “Moreover, I’ve sorted out your constellations and the spell types you’re best at, as well as the frequency of defective goods appearing in everyone’s hands. I’ve also come up with a simple list. Next, I’ll only use you to enchant the Demon Sealing runes in your areas of expertise before handing the half-finished product in your hands to the next person to continue working.”

Sigmonds’s experience came from working in a slaughterhouse in his early years. Then, when he was commanding the Silverstream Mine, he would try to assign every miner to work together according to their physique and efficiency.

When he learned that Demon Sealing runes could be enchanted in batches, his first reaction was to split the parts into individual segments based on everyone’s proficiency and let a rune be processed in batches by 13 people.

As for the enchanters who had a high success rate of enchantment, they could be assigned to cast the embryonic runes as the first step. They only needed to invest mana into the furnace to activate Elementium Silver’s mana affinity. The specific casting work could be handed over to the blacksmith.

This way, even the refining and recycling equipment for defective goods could be moved here. After defective goods appeared, they could be directly recovered and refined before being put into the next step of production, reducing a lot of unnecessary time consumption.

It looked like such a beautiful plan, but after Sigmonds explained his thoughts to everyone, no enchanter present dared to move.

“Mr. Sigmonds…” the leader deliberated and said.

“I still suggest you discuss this method with the boss behind you because dismantling the entire process is a blatant provocation to any Demon Sealing rune researcher.”
