Chapter Sixty-Nine: Enchantment and Forge
"Okay~" Archie smiled and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. Zero looked at the sword-shaped model he was holding in his hand, only to see that he clenched the model in his hand and exerted a slight force, and a slender wind blade up to a meter long stretched out along the blade.
Zero looked at the stable form of the wind blade in front of him, and couldn't help but praise Kiaki: "It's amazing, how long does it take you to enchant this magic?"
"Five minutes, some of the simpler enchantments only take three minutes. Archie replied with a smile, "I have to complete almost a hundred of these enchantment exercises every day. ”
"Do you spend all your days practicing enchantments except for eating and sleeping?" asked Zero.
"It's not that hard, sometimes Grandpa Cousse doesn't be so strict with me, but I've been a little lazy in the past two days, so Grandpa Cousse asks me to increase the amount of practice. ”
Zero looked at the wind blade in Archie's hand and pondered, and suddenly he noticed that Archie's arm was slightly forced, and the slender wind blade extended a few points upwards.
"Huh?" Zero looked at Archie suspiciously, "How did you get this wind blade to extend smoothly?"
Archie looked at Zero and blinked, then suddenly laughed and said, "Of course it's to increase the input power of Douqi, what's wrong?"
"Dou Qi input?" Zero looked at Archie in disbelief, "Isn't this a one-time enchantment?"
"No, what's wrong with you?" asked Archie with a wry smile looking at Zero's expression.
Zero held Archie's hand holding the weapon model, feeling the fighting energy flowing in his arm, Zero carefully observed the wind blade in Archie's hand, and after realizing that the wind blade was completely made of magical elements, Zero raised his face to look at Archie who was staring at him with a confused expression.
"How did you convert your fighting energy into a magical element?" asked Zero.
"Huh?" Archie blinked and looked at Zero stunned for a few seconds, then he smiled bitterly, "What are you talking about, Brother Zero, how can the fighting spirit be transformed into a magic element~"
"Then how did you adjust the length of the Enchanted Wind Blade by inputting Dou Qi?" asked Archie with zero confusion.
Archie looked at Zero's expression and laughed and said, "Because of this Qi Gathering Array, ......"
Archie spread out his palms as he spoke, only to see a complex and delicate magic circle the size of a fingernail on the hilt of the weapon model. Zero leaned over and stared at the magic array and asked Archie, "Then how did you adjust the magic elements through this enchantment array?"
"Just put the Dou Qi into the Qi Gathering Array on the weapon," Archie replied, "Use the Qi Gathering Array as the core of the entire enchanted array, so that the Dou Qi in the human body can be used as the energy source to activate the enchanted array, and then the enchanted array will attract the elements in nature to complete the magic cast." Fighting energy only acts as a medium, allowing the user to control the enchantment effect on the weapon as he wishes. Dou Qi can only be used as an energy source to drive the magic array, but in the end, it is the magic element that makes the magic array work. ”
"If you don't use the magic core or magic crystal corresponding to the attributes of the enchanted array, how can you ensure that the enchanted array can attract the corresponding elemental gathering to make it effective?" asked Zero very puzzled.
"That's something that only high-level enchantments will use, like this low-level enchantment, because materials with elemental attributes are added in the forging process of weapons, as long as there is a complete enchantment array, the enchantment can be completed. And this is only to facilitate the practice of enchantment materials will be used, in fact, as long as there are the most basic enchantment conditions and the enchantment array is intact, even if there is no need for attribute materials, the enchantment array can be driven intact, but with my ability, I can't do it now......" Archie replied with a wry smile, "What's wrong with you, Brother Zero? Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Material ......" Zero groaned as he rubbed his chin and stared at the weapon model in Archie's hand, "You mean, the model you use to practice is also made of materials with elemental properties?"
"That's right, the model with cutting steel is used to enchant the wind attribute and the magic array, the model made of lava stone is used to enchant the fire attribute, and the arc gold model is used to enchant the thunder attribute......"
With an incredulous expression on his face open his mouth, Zero stared at Archie and asked, "The dwarves have always decided on the attributes of the weapons when forging them?"
"What about that?" Archie shrugged his shoulders and said, "All things have spirits, weapons are no exception, if you want to forge a spirit weapon, you must decide its attributes before forging, and you must not mess around, unless you are just a beginner practicing casting, you must think about what kind of weapon you want to build, and then carefully select casting materials, and when casting, you must also adopt corresponding casting methods for different material properties and weapon types, so as to create a spirit weapon that meets the requirements." ”
"Oh~" Zero nodded abruptly, "The forging method of the dwarves is really different from the outside, in fact, I don't know much about the aspect of forging, but in terms of enchantment, the dwarves are indeed very different from the outside." ”
Archie was immediately interested when he heard Zero's words, he put down the model in his hand and looked at Zero and asked, "What's the difference?" ”
"Well...... Zero scratched his head and pondered for a moment, "The enchantments outside all use magic cores or magic crystals, because people want to extend the number of times the magic array is used and the lifespan of the magic array." With the exception of some low-level enchantments, almost all practical enchantments must use the Core Crystal, because without the use of the Core Crystal, the enchantment circle cannot be driven and attract the magic elements in nature. Enchanters will use a magic array called an energy exorcism array to help warriors using enchanted weapons to adjust the enchantment effect by driving the magic core crystal through the fighting energy, but the fighting energy can only achieve the adjustment effect, and cannot directly become the energy source to maintain the enchanted magic array. The driving energy of the enchanted weapon is definitely the magic core magic crystal embedded in the weapon, so most of the enchanted weapons outside have to be replaced with the magic core magic crystal regularly, which is also the reason why most people can't afford to use the enchanted weapon. ”
"Ah? Isn't that troublesome? In our dwarven forging, the magic core and magic crystal will only be used as an indispensable array eye in high-level enchantment, and many enchantment techniques can be completed even without using attribute materials, I once saw Grandpa Kusse enchant the seventeenth level of wind magic on an ordinary model, and did not use the magic core magic crystal at all. Generally, the weapons that can use the magic core and magic crystal are all spiritual weapons, and that kind of weapon has a high-level enchantment exclusive to it, and the enchantment below the spiritual weapon is only to better play the attribute effect of the weapon, not to make the weapon have stronger skills, because the low-level weapon, its material strength is not enough to support the unlimited use of enchantment magic, and only the use of spiritual weapon-level weapons has such capital. Archie explained.
"Maybe that's why it's so hard for outsiders to create amazing weapons......" Zero muttered as he touched his chin.
"That's right!" Zero suddenly looked at Archie excitedly and said, "Can you teach me dwarven enchantment? I think your enchantment method is really practical! I'm a magician, I'm interested in all things magical, and I really want to learn!"
Archie touched the back of his head and said, "This ...... If you want to learn, of course ......."
"The dwarven enchantment is not passed on to outsiders. ”
While Zero was talking to Archie, Kusse's voice came from behind him. Zero turned his head to look at Kusai with a serious face, the other party had a dark face, a pair of eyes were half-squinting at him, Zero shrank his head and laughed twice, and then turned his face to look at Archie with an embarrassed face, and the whole person felt cramped.
"Archie, go back to dinner. Kusai said, glancing at Archie.
"Oh!" Archie quickly winked at Zero before getting up and walking downstairs, Zero following closely behind.
Kusse stood by the railing on the second floor, looking down at the backs of Zero and Archie as they walked out of the Hall of Sealed Blades. The great sword in the center of the hall on the first floor, which was heavily bound by iron chains, shook slightly, and the chains shook for a while, and Kusse looked down at the sealing circle at his feet, and frowned tightly.
