Chapter 377: Naya (Ask for subscriptions, ask for collections, ask for tickets)
"Finally figured it out. After a month of living in Rogen's house, Ryan, Rogen, and Alice finally figured out the principle of the unquenchable fire in the laboratory. Of course, Alice is only here to gain knowledge in the process. She's not up to the level of studying that right now.
"In short, this is an immortal core of power, equivalent to our key to truth, a form of soul sublimation unique to that world. The most important feature is that the unquenchable fire will merge with the owner's soul, after which the physical body is just a skin for them. The true essence is the soul that has been fused with the unquenchable fire, and even if they lose their physical body, their soul can be reborn with the help of this flame. Unlike our Key to Truth, which always needs to exist in the flesh until it reaches a certain height, once the Body is destroyed, the Key to Truth is destroyed with it. Rogen explained to Ryan and Alice in a steady tone.
"In addition to this, this primordial power from the world can easily merge with its owner and allow them to become immortal without having to go through the arduous practice like we do. Even if they are able to pass on this immortal power to the next generation, their children will have this unquenchable fire when they are born. ”
"And what about the flaws?" asked Alice, "that this power far beyond its rank could not be without flaws at all. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhen smiled with relief. "I'm glad to see that you've discovered this, not being blinded by the benefits in front of you, controlling your inner greed is a basic quality of an alchemist. Yes, the unquenchable fire does have its problems. ”
"On the one hand, this is the primordial power that belongs to a certain world. It also means that most of the abilities of the Immortal Fire can only be functioned in that world, and I think that if it were in other worlds, this immortal power would be severely weakened. On the other hand, the power of the unquenchable fire is determined after it has been created. As Ryan said, your unquenchable fire is Vera-level, so the limit of your strength is Vera. If your unquenchable flame is at the level of Maia, then no matter how hard you try, you will not surpass Maia to become Vera. ”
"In one of the most important aspects, this power can only be given directly or indirectly by the primordial nature of that world, and we, as alchemists, are the ones who have acquired the divine authority in mortal bodies. This kind of power, which is completely out of line with our path, does not increase our strength once acquired, but puts us in danger. So don't be blinded by powers that seem so easy to obtain, lose your judgment, and put yourself in danger. Rogen took the opportunity to teach Ryan and Alice earnestly.
Ryan and Alice listened carefully to Teacher Luo Zhen's teachings, and nodded thoughtfully when they heard the key content from time to time.
After the teaching, under the guidance of Teacher Luo Zhen, Ryan prepared to make a magic ring for himself. This was Ryan's final decision after gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience in the world of The Lord of the Rings.
Contrary to what he had previously thought, Gandalf's experience had taught that Ryan was not the best to use with a staff in one hand and a sword in the other. The way to fully exert your power is to minimize the number of spell casters to free your hands, and then use them with hand-to-hand weapons according to your habits. After all, a cane is not a tool used in hand-to-hand combat, and it is not as useful in hand-to-hand combat as a mace or axe.
At the heart of this ring is the Unquenchable Fire, as a reward for the valuable knowledge that Ryan brought this time. Teacher Luo Zhen took action and sealed and solidified this wisp of unquenchable fire with a fragment of a rose relic. Ryan decided to use this egg-shaped red gemstone with an immortal flame burning inside as the face of the ring.
The body of the ring is made of Mithril, using the casting technique of the three rings of the elves. Ryan thinks that the only flaw is that the appearance is a little too delicate and exquisite, and outsiders who don't understand it will think that it is a female ring after looking at it.
Once the ring and gemstone are ready, the most crucial shaping begins. After lighting up the giant refining array located in the middle of the laboratory, Ryan poured several liters of heavenly silver that he had prepared earlier into the refining array.
Under the effect of magic, the heavenly silver poured into the refining array gathered towards the center of the circle as if it had come to life, and then gradually floated into the air under the effect of magic, and finally formed a ball the size of a football.
"Narya, Nenya, Vilya—" Ryan began chanting the incantation in Quenya, as he threw the peanut-sized shard of the Rose Madonna sealed with the unquenchable flame and the previously forged ring into the orb of silver.
With the infusion of magic power and the chanting of the spell, countless bright silver runes the size of sesame seeds appeared on the ball formed by the heavenly silver. Later, these runes were gathered and decomposed into mysterious runes of greater or lesser size. Each of the runes revealed contained different powers, and even the simple placement of these runes there could affect the spirits of ordinary people.
Time passed slowly, the production process was progressing step by step, and the pressure from the alchemy array was increasing. Fortunately, Teacher Luo Zhen released a blood-red protective shield at this time to shield Ryan from the pressure from the magic array, so that Ryan could devote himself to the production of this magic ring.
When the last spell was uttered, all the runes instantly lost their color. The Heavenly Silver Ball in the middle of the alchemy array returned to its original state. Soon, however, the ball vibrated at an extremely high frequency. During the vibration, the ball also slowly shrinks like a deflated balloon.
In the end, all the heavenly silver disappeared, leaving only a dazzling golden light cluster floating above the alchemy array. At this moment, everyone present heard a crisp dinging sound in their souls.
When the echo of the sound dissipated, the golden light cluster in the center of the alchemy disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared. Only a silver ring with a red gem set in a silver band remained, silently resting in the magic circle.
"Congratulations, you've made this ring perfectly. After putting away the magic barrier, Teacher Luo Zhen closed his eyes and communicated for a while. After that, he opened his eyes and said to Ryan with a smile.
Ryan walked to the refining array and picked up the ring and dripped a drop of blood on it, then put it on his hand and began to communicate with the ring, he found that this ring could perfectly replace the role of a wand. In addition, the ring also has a strong defensive ability, whether it is mental, magical, or physical attack, this ring can provide corresponding protection. Most importantly, the unquenchable fire, which is at the heart of the ring, is able to resist the rules of death contained in the curse. This gives Ryan another chance of winning against Voldemort in the future.
Of course, everything is balanced, and this ring itself has no offensive power. On the one hand, the craftsmanship of this ring mainly comes from elves, so like the elves three rings, it is more inclined to protect than attack. On the other hand, the user of the ring is Ryan himself. A ring that excels at defense is more able to compensate for his weaknesses in battle.
After seeing Ryan inspect the ring, Luo Zhen smiled and said to him, "Give it a name, the power of this ring is worthy of a special name." ”
"Naya, I call it Naya. Ryan named the ring after the one in Gandalf's hand. On the one hand, it commemorates the origin of this ring. On the other hand, it shows that the power of this ring comes from the unquenchable fire.
When Ryan pronounced the name, the ring flashed as well. Later, the word Naya in Quenya appears on the inside of the ring.
"The name is a good match for your ring. Luo Zhen said happily. "I am glad to see that my students are taking a step forward on the path to mastering the truth. ”
For the next few days, Ryan stayed at Rogen's house to learn how to master the ring and do something else, when he felt that his goal was almost accomplished. chose to say goodbye to Mr. Luo Zhen and returned to the Wanjie grocery store. Of course, Rose Crystal was left here for the time being, because she planned to spend more time with her little sisters.
