Chapter 178: The Scarecrow of Rawls (Ⅱ)

Edward frowned uncomfortably when he saw the debris on the console, and turned back to slam the wooden golem.
"Chino, why don't you clean the on my desk!"
The wooden golem stared blankly at Edward, at a loss.
Chino does not have independent will and can only understand the simplest words, and Edward's accusation is beyond the scope of this poor puppet.
"That's not garbage, but the teaching aids you will use in class today."
Master Rawls walked into the hall from the next bedroom in his pajamas and nightcap, holding a croissant and a bottle of milk in his hand.
He yawned, put half of the bread on his desk, freed his right hand and used a "magic trick" to heat the milk, pulled out the stopper, and guzzled the steaming milk. Exhausted, hiccupped.
"It's so early, boys, wait a minute, I'll be here soon."
Master Rolls swallowed the bread in two or three mouths, went back to the bedroom and washed it, put on his formal attire and returned to the hall, and his expression became serious.
"I told you yesterday that I will teach you how to build from scratch. I have never discounted what I said." Master Rawls pointed to the pile of debris on the table. "Who can tell me what these are? ?Joan, can you answer?"
"It looks like the material of the "scarecrow"."
"Completely correct."
Rawls smiled satisfied.
"These things look like a pile of worthless garbage, but if you have a pair of clever hands, if you have the most basic construction skills, you can make this pile of tattered garbage in two hours Become a scarecrow-the kind that can scare sparrows in the farmland."
Thomas couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but Edward was expressionless, standing straight like a sentry, looking very focused.
Master Rolls smiled, and then said: "Of course, the farmer working in the field can also make a lively scarecrow. You came to my laboratory, not to learn to make ordinary scarecrows. The focus is next. We must try to make the Scarecrow active, from a puppet that would only fool the frightened stupid bird into a loyal guard who can patrol the field day and night to actively drive out the beasts and thieves!"
"Like Chino?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, just like Chino, it's just not as smart as Chino, and it's not really a "magic image." Fortunately, the cost of activating a scarecrow is not as expensive as Chino."
In addition to the virgin forest, the Alfheim region is a vast plain with fertile land and abundant products. It is the most important agricultural area in the entire New World. Although immigrants have moved in continuously in recent years, there is still a serious shortage of labor compared to the vast fields.
The traditional plantation industry is a most typical labor-intensive industry, and there is no shortage of people without anything.
In order to cope with the current labor shortage, the farmers of Yalfheim had to resort to the caster, and asked the mage to make structures instead of serfs and hired workers to work day and night in the field. The most common type of agricultural structure is " Activate the Scarecrow".
The
Activated Scarecrow
was born at the beginning of this century. At the time of the harvest season, farmers would pay high prices to hire people to guard the farmland to prevent birds and wild boars from damaging the crops to be harvested. Later, I don’t know who first came up with the idea: ask the mage to activate the scarecrow as a construct, patrol the field day and night, and protect the crops from ravens and beasts.
As a result, people were surprised to find that "activating the scarecrow" is more practical than the high-priced hired hired night watchman!
These stubborn sentinels will not be lazy, fatigue, or eat or drink. They will patrol their farms and pastures step by step regardless of wind and rain, and use scary faces and brooms to drive away the birds and beasts that damage crops. Until it is expelled from the farmland it is guarding.
Although the cost of manufacturing "activated scarecrows" is quite high, fortunately, it only requires a one-time investment, which is more cost-effective in the long run than hiring someone to guard the farmland.
When someone innovates, someone will follow suit.
The technology of "activating scarecrow" gradually spread out.
At that time, the cost of an
activated scarecrow
was as high as tens of thousands of gold Durga, and only those very wealthy manor owners could afford it, so the promotion rate was relatively slow until Robert Rawls turned out to promote the promotion of agricultural use. "Activating the Scarecrow" made a seminal contribution.
Master Rawls was not the first mage to invent the "activated scarecrow". His initiative was to greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of the "activated scarecrow". The "activated scarecrow" created by his hand can guard 200 acres of farmland or pasture on average, and the cost is one quarter lower than other masters' works. It is very popular in the agricultural structure market.
Master Rolls has gained fame and fortune by improving this construction technology-he has won the praise of his peers in academia, and he has obtained the tenure of life teaching offered by Leiden College at a young age. Publicly advocating the advocacy of "singleism", I am afraid the threshold has long been flattened by matchmakers.
The students were briefly introduced to the purpose of "Activating the Scarecrow". Master Rolls turned to the blackboard, picked up the chalk and waved it, and drew the structure of the activated Scarecrow. Each joint was clearly drawn. , Marked with relevant data.
"The vast majority of constructs in the world are generally composed of three major elements, namely "form", "soul" and "enchantment". Enchanting elements can also be subdivided into two categories, one of which is additional basic functions The second is to add special functions. The former gives the structure the most basic activities and work capabilities, while the latter retains the possibility of the structure constantly upgrading and strengthening."
In the following class time, Master Rawls used the "three elements of construct" as an outline and the "activation of the scarecrow" as an example to introduce students to how the three elements play their roles and how they are closely integrated in Together, it finally gives vitality and even intelligence to the construct.
The first of the three elements of the pile-building body is also the most important element, namely the "shape".
This is not difficult to understand. Any construct must always have a solid body, and only with the form can it be further activated and enchanted. For example, "activate the scarecrow", its shape is just an ordinary scarecrow.
Although scarecrows are not uncommon and can be seen everywhere in the field, it is not an easy job to create a scarecrow that meets the standards of Master Rolls, is flexible and durable.
To make a scarecrow, you first need a wooden skeleton that resembles human bones—this is the purpose of the pile of wood on the table.
Next, we need to cover the skeleton with a straw and fill it with straw-canvas and straw on the table, which will come in handy at that time.
