Restructuring
After making a plan, Lia thought for a moment and said, "There are a few materials in the ink of these two glyphs that I don't have here, and I need to go out and buy them, and when I wait for two hours, I will buy the materials back and grind the ink well." ”
Darko said, "Okay, thank you." ”
Leah beckoned the vines to entangle herself, and went straight out of the Tree Castle through the window. Seeing Leah leave, Darko also turned around, intending to go back to the room to prepare the next two glyphs to be copied.
"Darko, do you have a magic pen, if not, I can forge a few for you. Kevin stopped Darko, but felt Phyllis smiling at him, and he scratched his head strangely, "What's the matter? I'm a jeweler, but the magic pen can barely be cast, and although it's not as good as the works of the master casters, it's certainly better than the stalls." ”
Darko smiled as well, and took out the pencil case of Apoptotic Cloud Silence and handed it to Kevin, "I'm using this now, I bought it on the black market in Mercury. ”
Kevin took the pencil case, and when he saw the nameplate on it, he was puzzled for a moment, and then said in shock, "This is ...... This is...... Apoptotic clouds!"
Wendy and Otto had never seen Darko's pen, and they came closer to watch Kevin's exclamation.
"How about it? Don't always want to mint some broken copper and iron for my family Darko, we have a lot of good things. Phyllis proudly straightened up her not full breasts, and at the same time shook out the contents of the Daktronics Spatial Ring one by one, showing off in a large piece.
Otto looked at the mess on the ground, leaned over curiously, picked them up one by one, looked at them, and sorted them out. Wendy wasn't attracted by Phyllis's actions, but the pile rolled all the way to her feet, and she looked down to see a spatial belt. Wendy crouched down and picked it up, "Isn't this the Weedmire Space Belt?"
Darko patted his forehead, hurriedly took the space belt and handed it to Otto, "This is your space belt, found in the slave market." ”
Otto was stunned for a moment before taking the spatial belt, and then realized that there was nothing missing in the belt, "Okay, now I'm more and more sure that I'm not dead." ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and only Kevin was still seriously pulling out the apopterous cloud and lonely set of pens to examine it carefully.
"Sure enough, it is the work of the alchemy master, and the entire pen is made in one go, and there is no trace of the joining of different materials at all. Sighing, Kevin became serious again, "Although this is a good pen, you usually have no problem using it yourself, but I'm afraid it won't work to use it openly in competitions." ”
Darko was a little strange, "What?
"The rules of the competition only restrict the use of materials that you carry, to prevent anyone from directly using half-finished magic materials, but the magic pen is an auxiliary tool and is not within the scope of restrictions. Kevin lowered his head and muttered, "It's just that if your set of pens is seen by someone with a heart, it will probably be a little troublesome." ”
Phyllis patted her head, "Ah, yes! I also remembered that this pen belonged to Ruben Hayer, and after his death the set was stolen by one of his students, Monal, and then disappeared. But there are many descendants and friends of Ruben Haye in the Alchemy Guild, and it will indeed be a little troublesome if you see this set of pens. ”
Darko asked curiously, "Will they snatch it?"
Kevin replied, "Not really, but I won't give up, and I might want to buy it back, but you also know that these famous pens can't be measured in gold coins." ”
Dakko asked, "What if we don't sell?"
Wendy agreed, "Because of who we are, they shouldn't be strong, but maybe they will cause us some unnecessary problems in the game." ”
Otto nodded his head in agreement. The five of them were silent for a while, although the Alchemy Grand Prix was a relatively fair competition, but in fact, the major forces in the Alchemy Guild were complicated, and no one could say what interest entanglements would occur, and what unseemly things would happen in the dark, so their competition would increase a lot of variables.
"Can't you use this in the game?" Darko had a headache, he was already familiar with it, and if he changed it on the spot, he probably wouldn't even be able to play at half the level.
Kevin thought for a moment and said, "I'll erase the mark for you." ”
"Is that okay?" Dakko wondered, as delicate alchemy items like the Magic Pen generally can't be modified after they have been cast, otherwise they may damage the magic guide structure and make the entire pen scrap.
"Indeed, this custom-made magic pen is a very delicate magic item, and even a small scratch on the appearance of the magic circuit may cause the entire pen to be scrapped. Kevin gave a solemn gaze, "But if you can hide the exterior by just adding a layer of metal to its surface, it doesn't require the expertise of a caster, it only needs strong enough control, and I should be able to do it." ”
Phyllis agreed, "Costner, if you're sure, it's the best, but if you break the pen, you'll lose money!"
"No problem," Kevin shrugged, "bet on my reputation as a master jeweler, and you must succeed." ”
Phyllis thought about it, but couldn't find any reason to refute it, so she had to make a face at Kevin.
"It's a good idea to put a layer of metal on the surface to hide it so that people don't recognize it. Darko clapped his hands, he couldn't agree with Kevin's idea.
Wendy asked, "Even if it's just a coat, I'm afraid it's not that simple, otherwise this set of pens wouldn't end up on the black market in the Mercury plane because it is difficult to sell the stolen goods." ”
Kevin said solemnly, "It's really not that simple, the intersection of the added metal and the pen also needs to be treated precisely, otherwise it will affect the original magic properties of the magic pen." ”
In other words, the point of contact between the added layer of metal and the barrel must avoid the magic circuit on the surface of the pen, otherwise it will be less effective or even ineffective. "Wendy, as an enchanter, knows a lot about this.
Kevin said to himself, "And the layer of metal added can't be too thick, otherwise the barrel is too thick and it will affect the feel." ”
Darko patted Kevin on the shoulder, "I believe in you, I'll leave it to you." ”
Kevin nodded, and said, "Show me your hand." ”
"What to do?" Darko stretched out his hand suspiciously, and Kevin grabbed Darko's hand directly and began to caress it carefully, changing the usual hippie smiley expression. Darko was embarrassed for a moment, but he saw that the other three had gone back to look at the tattered things in his spatial ring, so he settled down and began to think about the two glyphs.
"Probably because Ruben Hayer has been writing all his life, his fingers are somewhat deformed, his index and middle fingers are slightly deviated to the right, and his thumb is a little outward, and this apoptosis is custom-made according to the shape of his hand. Kevin took out a toolbox and took out all sorts of strange tools from it, measuring Darko's hand, "And these three fingers of yours are very straight, you must have felt that the shape of your hand was awkward when you used the pen before, right?"
Darko nodded, "It's really not as good as the groove on the barrel, if the hand shape can just match, the control of the pen can be more stable, and the efficiency of mana output is higher." ”
After a while, Kevin shook Darko's hand away and began to take various measurements of the magic pen with those tools, "Anyway, I have to add a layer of metal, so I'll change the corresponding hand shape on it." But magic metal isn't enough, and I need to go out and buy it. ”
"I've got it, use it. But you'll have to refine it yourself. Phyllis picked up a piece of Adamantite ore directly from the items on the ground and threw it to Kevin, this was Darko's ore, and it was not distressing to use it again on Darko at this time.
Kevin took the ore and looked at it, and then directly began to make modifications.
Kevin skillfully melted the mass of Adamantite Ore, and in a short time he extracted a small mass of pure gold from it, which was the essence of the large Adamantite Ore. He took out a small amount of several other minerals and added them in turn. He closed his eyes slightly, and his fingers touched the lump of metal little by little like plucking the strings, and the liquid metal gradually turned into a strange shape, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was the posture of the three fingers of the middle finger, the index finger, and the thumb holding the pen.
Darko soon discovered that it was his own gesture, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was his own hand. Even every fingerprint is lifelike. Turning to look at Kevin, who was controlling this mass of metal, there were beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, obviously it was not easy to control so finely.
Kevin's mental power was nowhere near as strong as Darko's, but Darko was still shocked, and he asked himself if he couldn't achieve this level of accuracy. Back then, Kevin's meteor shower couldn't control the collision with each other because of the strength of his mental power, and now he is still not as good as Dacko. But when it comes to this delicate shaping control, he is far beyond the Daktronics, and that's the difference between strength and precision.
Kevin then warmed up the mixed metal finger mold, and as the temperature rose, the color of the metal gradually changed from fiery red to golden red, until finally incandescent.
When the temperature reaches the standard, Kevin picks up a magic pen with his other hand, which emits a yellow halo under Kevin's control, which is the light formed by the magic circuit in the magic pen being stimulated, indicating that this is a magic guide and a magic circuit system of its own, if this halo disappears, it means that the magic pen has been damaged and has lost its due effect.
Under Kevin's control, the finger-shaped metal ball slowly opened, and then he placed the magic pen between the three fingers, and then re-controlled the fingers to stick tightly, and slowly fixed the magic pen in the middle in a pen-holding posture, and when the fingers formed by the metal ball came into contact with the magic pen, it made a "sizzle" sound.
Kevin controls the metal ball in his right hand and twists the magic pen in his left hand. This process is very critical because by changing the shape of the magic pen, you are actually destroying the structure in it. If it is allowed to be destroyed, then the magic circuit in the pen will be invalid, so it is necessary to constantly re-analyze and restructure it with mental power, and immediately establish the destroyed magic circuit with mental power, and construct it with the materials in the metal group. Kevin let out a breath and placed the first pen on the table after it cooled down as quickly as possible, its shape changed slightly and the halo on it did not abate, apparently having succeeded. It's just that the original white halo on it has changed slightly, turning into a white-gold halo.
"Wow, even the color of the light has changed, and now it won't be noticed. Phyllis exclaimed in surprise.
"I thought that the restructured magic pen would be thicker, but now it doesn't seem to be significantly thicker, it seems that Kevin has reconstructed some circuits on the surface, which is really not simple. "Even in Wendy's eyes, there is no fault in it.
"I'd love to pick it up and try it now, it looks awesome!" Darko looked at the magic pen with eagerness.
A few people were chatting here, and Kevin never stopped reworking the magic pen. Gradually, several people's attention returned to Kevin, and they were all amazed that Kevin's mental power could maintain such precision for so long. Actual combat is the best tempering, Darko has been in the hunted battle for the past year, and Kevin is not far behind, he has completed a lot of difficult trial tasks, and his magic and combat skills have made great progress. Mental power is innate and cannot be acquired, but Kevin has taken the accuracy and controllability of his mental power to a new level. Especially in terms of elemental control, because it has nothing to do with spiritual power, this is also his strongest point as a jeweler.
Although Kevin's accuracy can reach a high level, his sustained power is still his shortcoming because it is related to the strength of his mental power. When he reached the third pen, a little bead of sweat had oozed from his forehead; by the fourth he had turned pale, as if the blood had faded; by the fifth, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and it seemed that he was still holding on to his eyes; until the sixth, he had barely completed the restructuring, and was out of breath at this time.
Darko wanted to open his mouth to let Kevin rest, but was stopped by Wendy with his eyes, and at this time, even Phyllis was unusual, and her expression became a little serious. As support professionals, they all know that Kevin has fully entered the state, and if he is interrupted at this time, it is likely that he will not be able to complete the transformation of all magic pens. Although the seven magic pens are independent, the technical points in the restructuring process are all in the same vein, and this feeling feels as if they are not seven separate branches, but are intrinsically connected. In this case, of course, it cannot be hastily interrupted in the process of restructuring.
Finally, in the nervous gaze of the four people, the body of the seventh pen also released a misty halo. At the same time, Kevin had collapsed and collapsed to the ground.
