Chapter 45: The Crystal Disk
Givens followed Niels as he prepared to leave the workshop. But at the moment when Niels pushed open the door. The elven craftsmen who had been waiting outside the door for a long time immediately poured into the workshop.
They had been waiting at the door, listening to the tapping sound coming from the workshop, and they were eager to see the results of the repairs. This magic steel workpiece is also the brainchild of their efforts in the past six months. Today, it was destroyed in an accident, and these craftsmen felt uncomfortable.
Although Master Niels did not punish them for the time being, they also blamed themselves in their hearts. They also wanted to do their best to repair the magic steel product and recover some damage for the workshop.
The first people to rush into the workshop looked around, looking for the damaged steel, but in the huge workshop, there was no trace of the twisted magic steel, and on the iron felt, a steel part with no signs of injury was placed on it. When the elven craftsmen saw the smooth arc of the magic steel, they immediately stopped, and were knocked down by the people who poured in afterward. But when the follow-up people saw the strange scene in front of them, they also slowly stopped, everyone crowded around the iron felt, and the hall was silent.
It took less than half a day for Master Niels and the strange man to completely repair the magic steel workpiece!
Master Niels's ability is familiar to the masters in the workshop, so the only one who can really achieve this miracle is the strange spirit who suddenly broke into the workshop.
The eyes of the craftsmen were all on the guy who was dressed in a bad way. But while everyone was stunned just now, Master Niels had already led the mysterious elf out of the workshop and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Niels led Givin to his room. Niels's room was large, but not ornately decorated, and was filled with tools and books. I saw Niels walk to the bookshelf, then pull out a thin notebook from the bookshelf and hand it to Giving.
"This is my notebook from when I was an apprentice, although the handwriting is not very good, but it is a lesson that I have learned after a lot of hardship, and this note should be useful to you. Niels tried to explain to Given. The Archons forbade the sale of crystal disks, but did not prohibit the distribution of notes. Moreover, the note does not contain any details of how the crystal disc was made, nor does it violate the rules established by the guild of craftsmen who monopolize the production of crystal discs.
"Can you learn how to make crystal disks on your own?"
Givens took the note and flipped through two pages. The contents of this note are indeed rare and valuable.
"Unfortunately, it can't be done. But if you want to understand this crystal disk, you must first understand the contents of this note. ”
Niels knew that although there was no secret to the creation of the crystal disk on this note, it was still a valuable material that was impossible to find in any library. Today, he gave this long-cherished note to Ji Wen, but he felt that he had no regrets in his heart, which could be regarded as making up for his regret that he could not make crystal disks for his benefactor.
"Thank you then. Jiwen carefully put away his notes, ready to take them back to the forbidden god space to study carefully.
"I should want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know how to repair the broken magic steel part. By the way, I haven't asked you for a title yet, can you tell me?"
Niels asked cautiously. He knew that this elf had magical skills and strength, and even when he arrived in the national capital, he could get enough rich rewards and extraordinary status. But he preferred to dress up as a down-and-out middle-aged man, apparently to hide his true identity.
Givens thought about it for a while, and finally found a name related to the blacksmith in his memory.
"You can call me, Magni Copperbeard. "Although Givens knows that there are few people who recognize his name, he is still in disguise, so it is better to be careful.
"Mr. Copperbeard, I hope you will come to me often in the future. Although he knew it was a pseudonym, Niels gladly accepted the name and greeted Givin warmly.
"Okay, I also want to ask Master Niels about the craft of making crystal disks in the future. However, I asked Master Niels to keep my affairs secret. ”
"Rest assured, Mr. Copperbeard, that I, Niels, am a man of his word. ”
Seeing that the matter was over, Jiwen also planned to leave, after all, Adelia should be waiting outside now. But at this moment, Jiwen suddenly thought of two things, so he hurriedly asked, "By the way, Master Niels, can you use crystal disks to summon beasts?"
"Summoned beasts? No one has ever summoned a beast with such a precious thing on it. ”
Givens was a little disappointed, and it seemed that this would have to be tried on his own. Then he asked another question.
"After reading this note, is it possible to repair the crystal disk?"
Jivin still remembers that Hall's crystal disk fragment is still in his hand, and if he can't order one, then it is a good idea to repair Hall's crystal disk and keep it for himself.
"Repair the crystal disk?" Niels was startled, "You have a crystal disk, take it out and show it to me." ”
Although the consuls are very strict with the order of the crystal disk, every new crystal disk must be recorded and recorded, and the crystal disk is engraved with marks and numbers, but the repair is different, the vast majority of the elves who have the crystal disk are obtained through legal channels, so the repair work is generally not managed, and it completely relies on industry self-discipline.
Givens took out Hall's bad crystal disk, and Niels took it and looked at it, and found that it was even his own work, so he asked, "This shouldn't be your crystal disk, where did you get it?"
"A lost friend. Givens replied truthfully.
"You're going to use this crystal disk?"
"Yes, if I can't make it, I'll have to try this method. ”
What Jivin didn't know was that the crystal disk was a very personal work, and each crystal disk was tailor-made for the user, and it was impossible for others to use it without extensive modifications. Modifying a disc is not as easy as recreating one, and it doesn't always work every time. Niels couldn't bear to directly reject Givin's idea, but replied as tactfully as possible: "Each crystal disk is tailor-made for the user, and whether others can use it depends on luck." ”
With that, Niels took out a strange machine from the room and placed it in front of Givin. Jiwen found that this thing was somewhat similar to the magic crystal slot used in the summoning beast rank evaluation at that time, except with a few more accessories.
"Put your hands in there. Niels instructed Givan to use the machine, and placed a pile of hedrons of various colored crystals in some special grooves in the machine.
Given's hand was inside, and just like last time, some colored smoke came out and wrapped around Given's hands. Unlike last time, the smoke didn't mix together this time, but flew towards those hedrons in the grooves after a few turns along the palm of Given's hand. There were more than a dozen of such smokes, forming a dense net in the sink.
Givens remembered that the results of his last test were only a pitiful order, and he didn't know what the results of this test were. But the results reported by Niels rekindled Given's hope. "Your physique is good, although your ability to channel magic energy is not high enough, but you can match with a lot of hedrons. ”
As he stared at the smoke, Niels carefully traced the shape of the smoke twist and its position in the sink with a pen on a piece of parchment. After spending a lot of time taking notes, he saw the bewildered look of Jiwen, so he explained, "Don't panic, you'll know what I'm talking about when you're done with your notes." ”
Givens nodded, then watched as Niels put away the machine and the hedrons. After doing this, Niels picked up Hall's crystal disk again.
"This is a crystal disk that casts ice arrows, it is a little bad, you give me ten days, and I will fix it. ”
Ten days from this world, it is estimated that it will be almost time for the selection exam. However, as long as you can catch up with the selection of the Royal Calling Academy. Thinking of this, Jiwen nodded, and then inquired about what he was most concerned about.
"Time is fine, but after the repair, can I use this crystal disk?"
"That would require a modification of the disc. To be honest, this job is difficult, but fortunately you can fit a lot of crystals, and if you are lucky enough, you can use this crystal disk to release ice arrows in the future!"
What Niels didn't say was that in the past ten days, he needed to repair the crystal disk, and then replace it with a crystal stone that matched Jiwen, and then modify the texture and shape of the crystal disk according to the characteristics of Jiwen's guiding magic energy. Although these jobs are very hard, Niels has decided to do his best to change this work for the sake of this mysterious Mr. Copperbeard.
"Great, I'll come back in ten days. ”
Hearing Master Niels's answer, Givin's voice was also full of excitement. After many twists and turns, Givens finally found a way to unleash his magic.
After the two continued to exchange pleasantries, Gilvin said goodbye and left, so Niels led Gilvin back to the VIP room.
Adelia had been waiting in the VIP room for almost half a day, and when she was bored, she even took out a booklet to practice life spells in the VIP room. Several times she resisted the urge to relieve Jivan's call and return to the academy on her own. Thankfully, the fruit teas and meals served here were good, and the environment was quiet, which allowed Adelia to stay in the lounge.
Seeing Govin and Niels enter the door together, Adelia immediately put away the booklet, walked up to the two, and then said in an unquestioning tone: "Master Niels, it's not early, we're leaving." ”
Givens looked at the angry look on Adella's face, and didn't say anything. Niels came to play a round.
"Alright, I'll send two distinguished guests to the door. ”
Adelia was a little surprised, compared to just now, Master Niels's attitude had changed completely.
When Jiwen and his party arrived at the door of the Flame Furnace, Jiwen found that the elven craftsmen in the workshop had been waiting in the foyer near the gate for a long time.
As Givens walked past them, the craftsmen took off their hats or bent down to salute. Flattered by this move, Givens waved to greet the craftsmen and carefully avoided the crowd so as not to reveal his identity.
"What are they doing?" asked Adella, puzzled, as she and Gilvan had been one of the most unwelcome customers in the shop when they first arrived, but now they seemed to be guests of the Furnace of Fire.
"They're all real people, so I want to pay tribute to Mr. Copperbeard. Niels looked at his employees with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Copperbeard?" Adelia looked at Jiwen, who kept nodding around, and seemed to understand something.
Bidding farewell to Niels, Givens and Adella embark on their journey back to the Summoning Academy. By this time, it was getting dark, and there were many fewer elves walking on the road. Adelia complained all the way that Gilvin had been delayed in the workshop for too long, and Gilvin had to briefly tell Adelia what had just happened, so as to calm Adelea's displeasure.
However, after listening to Jiwen's narration, Adelia asked puzzledly, "You still know how to strike iron?" ”
"It's going to be a little bit, and some of the work is pretty good. Givan replied vaguely. But this unclear answer made Adella even more suspicious, only to see Adellia suddenly ask: "Jiwen, how much else are you hiding from me?"
Just before today's summoning, Adelia once thought that Jiwen was a trustworthy object, but with the appearance of the barbecue incident and Jiwen's adventures in the workshop, Adelia vaguely felt that Jiwen, who had a demonic talent, seemed to be hiding a lot of things in front of her.
Adelia felt that she had never reserved anything about Given, but that trust was not reciprocated by Given.
Givens was stunned, and didn't know how to answer Adella for a while.
Givens thinks that he is not the kind of person who is good at covering up lies, and now is not the time to tell the truth, the secrets of the forbidden god space and Harvey's deeds must not appear in this world.
Seeing that Jiwen didn't say a word, Adelia didn't ask any more, she just said a little angrily: "It's okay now, then you go back and let me be alone." ”
She raised her hand, ready to recite the spell to lift the summoning.
But at that moment, a violent explosion occurred in a treehouse next to the street, and the fragments of the treehouse walls flew everywhere with the smoke and dust, and the huge vibration made Adelia stumble and almost fall to the ground.
This accident caused Adelia's spell to be aborted.
