Zero walked to Yantai's forge and stopped, looked at Yantai, who was sweating like rain on his bare body, and shouted to him: "Uncle Yantai, I'm bringing you food." ”

Iwatai, who was hammering his sword with his lieutenant Kachu, heard Zero's shout and looked back at him, and Zero waved at him and walked into the forge of the forge. Iwatai stopped what he was doing and said to Kachu, "Rest for a while, it's time for dinner." ”

Kachu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and nodded, and Iwatai put the forging hammer at his feet, turned and walked to Zero, who was setting up food at the small table.

After Zero set the meal, he straightened up and looked at Yan Tai, who was drinking from the kettle, and asked, "Is Archie still practicing in the Sealed Sword Hall?"

"Yes," Yan Tai replied by putting down the kettle, "you go and call him over for dinner, he hasn't come back yet, and it is estimated that Uncle Kusai has trained him again." ”

"I'll call him, and you can eat first. Zero turned and walked out of the forge after saying that.

In front of the door of the Fengjian Hall, Zero stood on the stone steps with the door wide open, poking his head out and looking in.

Fengjian Hall is not big, there are only two floors up and down, no more than 10 steps into the door, and the left and right sides are the mahogany ladders on the second floor, which is one of the few places where the dwarves can be regarded as "gorgeous" in decoration. The dwarves live industriously and frugally, and the folk customs are simple, and walking in the villages where they live is full of ordinary and simple rural customs. However, there are many ancient and gorgeous decorations in this sword sealing hall, including the old murals hanging on the walls, the animal pattern carvings on the handrails of the stairs, and the fairly symmetrical and orderly arrangement in the hall.

The ground in the center of the hall on the first floor is carved with many intricate and mysterious inscriptions, and if you look down from the second floor, you will find that there is a huge magic circle on the ground, and on the iron altar outside the magic circle, each has five swords of different shapes. This was the oldest seal of the Five Elements, and Zero had ever found it in the book Josevi had shown him. The five attribute elements discovered by the ancestors of the continent - wind, fire, water, earth, and thunder, the five elements that are mutually reinforcing and the five elements are harmonized, and the elemental attributes used by human beings at the earliest time, are derived from an extremely strong and durable sealing circle on the basis of them. The ancestors of the dwarf clan forged five swords with different attributes as the eyes of the array, and set up this seal here in order to seal the sword in the center of the magic array.

To say that it is a sword is actually very reluctant, it looks thick and massive, the volume is far beyond the ordinary weapon, only a vague sword shape, more than half of the sword body is inserted into the ground, at first glance it seems to have been integrated with the ground, the potted dark gray surface makes people at first glance mistakenly think that it is just a clumsy sword embryo made of cement. Heavy chains were wrapped around the sword, and the chains stretched out to tie to the swords of the five altars, like a beast trapped in the middle of the altar by chains.

According to Archie, each of the swords on the five altars is a famous sword of the holy weapon level, and it is definitely a sharp weapon that can be ranked on the weapon list when taken outside, but the dwarves have set up this sealing circle as the eye of the array. Zero couldn't figure out what kind of evil weapon it was, and it could make the dwarves put so much effort into sealing it.

In front of the wall on the first floor facing the gate, there is a large altar, on which is placed a statue of a god, wearing armor, three heads and six arms, each holding six swords of different shapes, looking closely at the head of the idol, the expression is solemn, the eyes are slightly drooping, and the third eye on the forehead is angry and round, which has a mysterious pattern.

There are many names for the deity that this idol enshrines. For the dwarves, he is the master of all armies, able to manipulate all the weapons of the world at will, and some call him the god of war, the head of conquest, the master of punishment, and the shadow of destruction and slaughter...... And his real name is only one - the Shura God Lord, one of the six main gods who once performed "divine punishment" in the world.

Before coming to this Sealed Sword Hall, Zero had thought that the dwarves would believe in gods such as the god of forging or the god of fire, after all, their whole clan was keen on forging weapons, but they didn't expect that they would believe in a great god like Shura. According to Zero's understanding, the views of the Shura God on the mainland are still mixed, some people say that he destroyed the civilization of the entire era, and some people believe that he promoted the progress of human civilization...... But the public never worships the god Shura as a religion, and Shura is seen as a symbol of war, conquest, and chaos, and I am afraid that no one will like this kind of war-related god except those in high positions.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, an old voice sounded beside Zero.

Zero came back to his senses and looked at the old man of the dwarven tribe standing not far from him, dressed in a gray robe, wearing a wide dark brown fur hat, gray hair with a twisted braid at the back of his head, and a thick beard on his chin, neatly groomed, he looked like he was in his old age, but his eyes were clear and clear, and he was looking at Zero intently at this time.

"Oh......" Zero said with a smile on Kusse, "Uncle Iwatai asked me to call Archie for lunch." ”

Kusse stared at Zero's eyes for a long moment, then he waved his sleeve and said to him, "He is practicing weapon enchantment on the second floor, and I will let him go back to eat when he finishes practicing, you can go first." ”

"Is Brother Zero here?" Suddenly Archie's voice came from upstairs.

The second floor is a semi-enclosed floor, and directly below is the sealing circle in the hall on the first floor, Archie is lying on the side of the mahogany railing and poking his head down, he is waving to Zero and shouting, "Come up!"

Zero smiled and bowed to Uncle Cousse, then walked into the hall and ran up the stairs.

The chains in the sealing circle suddenly shook slightly, and Kusai frowned as the shaking chains calmed down, and he raised his eyes to look at Zero, who was walking up the stairs and greeting Archie with a smile, with a serious and deep expression.

Zero sat at the generous table where Archie practiced enchantment, looking at the various large and small weapon models placed on the messy tabletop, some of which had been engraved with various dense inscriptions, some of which were charred as charcoal, some of which were still emitting wisps of green smoke, and some of which were still intact and unenchanted...... Zero looked at Archie with an enchanted carving knife in one hand and a weapon model in the other, carving enchanted inscriptions on the model with a serious expression. Attentive and conscientious, he meticulously carved one intricate inscription after another on the model. Zero didn't make a noise to disturb him, just sat beside him and watched quietly.

Regarding these enchantment inscriptions, Zero can read a lot, and he has spent most of the past five years memorizing magic structure formations and spirit spells, and he also has a certain level of understanding of enchantment.

Enchantment is the application of magic spells on weapons or other operable alchemy tools to attach magic to objects. The steps of enchantment are very complex and difficult to operate, and there is no room for error, and the enchantment requires a high level of mental strength. There are usually two ways to enchant, one is a permanent inscription enchantment and the other is a consumable telekinetic enchantment.

Inscription enchantment is a physical enchantment means, generally using an enchantment carving knife to engrave inscriptions and spells (collectively known as incantations) on alchemy utensils, in order to achieve the effect of leaving the inherent magic on the utensils, this enchantment method retains magic for a long time, the spell is not easy to dissipate, very practical, the most widespread use is weapon enchantment, so that the warrior's weapon has magical attributes, so that the warrior can use the magic attached to the weapon to respond to the enemy while using his own fighting spirit.

Nian seal enchantment,It is mainly made of special materials for enchantment items to enchant the enchantment inscription with telekinesis,The spell of this type of enchantment weakens quickly,After the enchantment is completed,The inscription on it will begin to weaken,If you want to preserve it for a long time, you must seal it,After using it once,The enchantment array will quickly dissipate with the end of the cast。 Unlike physical inscriptions, which allow spells to be permanently left on alchemy utensils, Nian Seal enchantment simply engages the inscription with telekinesis on the surface of the inscription paper or other enchanted object.

To put it simply, inscription enchantments have a long lifespan, while most of the inscription enchantments are disposable.

The two have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the inscription enchantment has a long retention time and can be used repeatedly, but it cannot enchant offensive magic with a high level. Because the higher the level of magic, the more complex the enchantment arrays and spells become, and there is not so much surface area on ordinary weapons or alchemy tools that can supply high-level magic enchantments. Although the enchanting enchantment has a short use cycle, it can be used to preserve high-level magic, because as long as the surface area of the enchanted object is large enough, such as the inscription paper, it can provide sufficient enchantment conditions, and it can preserve high-level or even military-level lethal magic. This is a method of mana storage, which can be used to release mana directly without the consumption of the mage's chanting time or even telekinesis.

Of course, there is also an item that can meet the conditions of both the inscription enchantment and the inscription enchantment, and that is the inscription gold. This metal can be physically enchanted with a carving knife, and because of its good telekinesis integration, as long as it is smelted and forged into a smooth surface, it can also be easily enchanted with telekinesis imprinting on it, so this peculiar metal is widely used in weapon forging, and the dwarves usually coat a layer of gold on the crafted weapons to facilitate enchantment, and even smelt Mingge gold into weapons as a forging material.

The models of these weapons that Archie is now practicing with are plated with a layer of gold on the surface, and the dwarves have created these models for beginners in the clan to practice enchanting.

Enchantment does not have to be performed on a special material surface, such as the sealing magic array in the Sword Sealing Hall, or various magical enchantments similar to it, which are also a form of enchantment. Whether it is inscription paper or inscription gold, it is to provide convenient and stable enchantment conditions for enchantment, and enchantment is derived from the magic formation in the final analysis, in order to preserve magic for a long time and facilitate casting.

Because enchantment requires a high level of mental strength, enchanters are generally mind-type magicians, but not all mind-based magicians have the talent to become enchanters. Zero has studied enchantment with Josevi for the past five years, and Josevi is also an enchanter, and everything Zero has learned about enchantment in his mind is from her. Although I have learned the art of enchantment from her for several years, I feel that the technique of enchantment is broad and profound, and I can only be regarded as a scratch in this aspect.
