Volume 1: Experiences Chapter 0080: Fireball Ring
After a long time of going back and forth, Renard finally took a favorite enchanted two-handed sword from the display shelf, and he tried to swing it twice, both in terms of weight and style, which he liked very much.
The enchanted longsword he bought from the system was a bit lighter, and his strength had grown a lot during this time, so it was time to switch to a heavier weapon.
The two-handed sword is the most popular weapon among martial artists, and its weight and length are more in line with human body mechanics, and it is not only suitable for slashing, but also can be used for straight stabs, oblique strokes and other moves.
Old Bill saw the weapon in his hand, and his eyes showed appreciation: "That two-handed sword is my proudest work in recent years, if it weren't for some problems with the inscription, I'm afraid it could have been sold for twenty gold coins." ”
"Twenty gold coins?" Reynard suddenly felt that the hand holding the sword was a little weak, and hurriedly put it back.
Old Bill shook his head helplessly: "I said that there are some problems with the inscription of this sword, it is a defective product, and it is worth six gold coins now." ”
Six gold coins? That's a lot!
Renard secretly felt to himself, and he was a little curious at the same time: "What's wrong with the inscription on this sword?"
Old Bill glanced at him twice, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "I originally wanted to engrave six kinds of magic circles on the sword, fast, sharp, strong, crippled, explosive flame, and bloody, but I found that there were some small conflicts between the bloody magic circle and the flame explosion magic circle. ”
Well, strict magic will never allow for error, and even a small clash is enough to completely destroy the two circles.
He took the sword with pity on his face: "I made up for it in the end, but only kept the four magic circles of swiftness, sharpness, solidity, and cripple. ”
Renard also felt a sense of pity, after all, the enchanted weapons engraved with the six magic circles were rare treasures, and although the four magic circles were rare, they were very different from the former.
He gently stroked the blade of the sword, and found that the inscription on it was indeed incomplete, like an unfinished rare painting, which made people feel tasteless and discarded.
Renard sighed, uncertain in his heart, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Can it be cheaper?"
The corners of Old Bill's mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile: "I said that our store will not bargain." ”
Renard reacted immediately, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Sorry, I accidentally forgot." ”
Old Bill didn't pay much attention, shook his rocking chair, took two puffs of cigarette again, and said, "If you want to buy this sword, I can give you another interesting gadget." ”
Renard looked stunned and asked curiously, "What gadget?"
The other party didn't say much, but slowly got up and walked to the back of the counter, and found a unique gemstone ring from many strange objects: "Na, this is it." ”
Renard raised his eyebrows, took the ring from the other party's hand and looked at it, and said in a puzzled tone, "It doesn't seem to be anything special." ”
Hearing this, Old Bill put the pipe on the counter, took the ring and put his index finger on it, and then pointed at the blacksmith furnace, and a dazzling fireball the size of a palm suddenly appeared, and immediately shot into the blacksmith furnace, only to see that the firewood inside instantly turned into ashes.
Fireball?
Renard's eyes widened, revealing a face full of incredulity: "The funny gadget you said is this magic ring?"
Old Bill took off the ring and handed it to him again, picked up the pipe again and put it in his mouth, and said proudly: "The Fireball Ring, although the power is much smaller than that released by a real magician, but fortunately, it is instantaneous, and it is a fun thing. ”
He leaned back on the recliner and added, "Of course, it will take ten hours to recharge each release, and if you buy that two-handed sword, the ring will be considered a gift, but it will cost a gold coin to buy it alone." ”
Renard's face changed, and the two-handed sword inscribed with a swift, sharp, sturdy, and crippled circle was sold for six hundred dinars in the system, which was converted into six gold coins, and the old bill came with a fireball ring, which was worth the sale.
He made the decision at once, removing the two-handed sword from the shelf and placing the fireball ring on his hand.
Old Bill smiled with satisfaction, got up and took the two-handed sword: "Let's go, I'll enchant you in the back." ”
Enchantment is the final step in crafting enchanted equipment, and enchanted equipment is valuable because it is unique from the beginning of its manufacture.
The first is the selection of materials, the material used to forge the enchanted equipment must have a very high hardness.
Because the magic circle needs to be engraved on the equipment, and the equipment is used against the enemy, if the magic circle is destroyed, the enchanted equipment will also be invalid, so a strong ability to resist attacks is a must, and it must also have good magic conduction.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose materials with extremely high hardness and difficult to form, such as stainless iron, steel, and mythril, to forge blanks.
And if you want to use these materials to build equipment, the difficulty is self-evident, and I am afraid that only a master blacksmith can complete this step.
Compared to professionals, the probability of a master blacksmith is smaller, and it is unlikely that there will be a master blacksmith among dozens of blacksmiths.
Next is the inscription, the inscription is to engrave the cumbersome magic circle on the equipment, the magic circle can not conflict, can not overlap, the armor is good to say, there are many places that can be engraved with the magic circle inside.
Weapons, such as two-handed swords, are less than two inches wide at most, and have half-inch blades on each side, so only less than an inch wide can be inscribed on the circle, requiring the operator to have a high degree of carving skill.
And in addition to carving skills, carvers also need to master extraordinary magical attainments, such as one-handed rappiers because the inscription is too difficult, so it can easily be sold for dozens or hundreds of gold coins.
Renard couldn't imagine what a complicated and tedious task it was, and he had only heard that a skilled carver could carve a beautiful figure out of a stone the size of a fingernail.
Finally, there is enchantment, which is also not simple, to depict the spirit gathering array, and then connect the spirit gathering array with the previously inscribed magic circle, so that the energy can circulate in the magic circle, making it a real enchanted equipment.
It's simple, but in fact, the steps are extremely complicated, and what Renard knows is only the most superficial appearance, as for how to forge the equipment, how to hook up the magic circle, how to use spiritual power to guide the magic circle, or whatever, he has no way of knowing.
Seeing Old Bill complete the enchantment steps as if he were eating, Renard couldn't help but feel a little dry, and he asked tentatively, "Mr. Bill, are all the enchanted equipment outside made by yourself?"
The other party's answer almost made him faint: "yes, what's wrong?"
Master Smith, Master Inscription, Master Enchanter, none of them would surprise him too much when they appeared in front of Renard, but Old Bill was a trinity.
Having lived in the Barren Lands for sixteen years, Renard had never heard of anyone who could master three extraordinary alchemy techniques at the same time.
