Chapter 104: Cassius Clyde
In the blacksmith's shop, the dwarf couldn't help but be amazed at the weapon floating in the girl's hand, this kind of weapon condensed purely by magic was really uncommon.
Arnold stretched out his large, rough hand and grabbed at the weapon, and the moment he grasped the hilt, he could feel the weight as light as a feather. It was really like a feather, and it didn't feel any weight, it was a strange feeling that it was obviously illusory, but you could feel the existence of this weapon in your hand. Arnold subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to take it to his front to watch, but in the next second, the weapon turned into a point of light and dissipated in his hand.
"Ahem......" Arnold coughed, hiding his embarrassment, he had known for a long time that magic weapons could not leave the hands of the maker, but just now he couldn't help it. In fact, not being able to make magic amplification weapons has always been a regret for him and even the dwarves, and that has always been the elves' strength.
"Little girl, if, I mean, if you're really going to make this weapon, then there are two metals that are very good materials, the first is Mithril, which has very good ductility and hardness, and also has a good affinity for magic, so it is the best choice for making magic weapons. The second, Adamantite, is more precious than Mithril and has a higher magical affinity, but is also much less productive than Mithril. Unfortunately, I don't have those two metals here......"
Arnold explained some knowledge of metal that Ellie had never touched, and when he said the last sentence, he was like a deflated ball, and as a brilliant dwarven blacksmith, it was his second regret that he did not have the legendary metal, because it was too expensive.
"Actually, there may be a third kind, that is, diamond, you must know that the hardness of diamond is not inferior to those strong metals, but diamond is more troublesome than pure gold mythril, because of its characteristics you can only carve it into a sword, but in fact you can hardly find such a large piece of diamond."
"I've had the pleasure of making a few weapons of Adamantite and Mithril, and it's a ...... Ahem, off topic. I'd say if you can find metal like that, you can come to me and build your own weapon, but of course it's just a normal weapon, and if you want to enchant, you'll have to find a great mage. However, if you have connections, elven enchantments are the best, and you can go to them. ”
Arnold said a lot, and Ellie listened half-incomprehensibly, until the dwarf stopped talking, and Ellie spoke cautiously, "That...... Where to buy those ores? ”
"Auction house!" The dwarf's eyes lit up.
"Uh...... The auction house is very expensive......"
"Hmm...... The price should be quite reasonable, you can go to the backstage and discuss it with them, so that they can skip the auction and sell them directly to you, anyway, those metals often go unauctioned. In terms of price, your weapon is a rapier, so you don't need so many materials, 5,000 gold coins should be able to get a Adamantite weapon, and Mithril will cost about 3,000 gold coins. ”
"That's a lot!" The girl's mouth opened wide in surprise, she was no longer the girl who didn't care about money at the beginning, although her sister gave her a lot of money, but she was not ready to waste it like that.
"Great value for money." Arnold said, spreading his hands.
"That...... Can it be made with alchemy? Ellie asked quietly.
"Alchemy? That thing is so powerful? Can it be refined into Pure Gold Mithril? The dwarf in front of the girl showed the potential to know nothing about magic.
"This young lady, I can solemnly tell you that it is illegal to refine Essence Gold Mithril."
Out of the back room where Arnold had just come out, a young man answered Ellie's question. He walked up to Ellie and continued to speak to her, "You must have permission from the Alchemist Guild to refine Adamantite Mithril, and it can only be used as experimental material. ”
"Really? Thank you for your answer, sir. Ellie bowed to the man and said gratefully.
"Then you can only buy it." Arnold said with a shrug.
"If you want to make weapons, you do. But I'm curious, I heard in the house that this lady wants to make a weapon but doesn't want to strike, can I know why? Cassius asked.
"This ...... I participated in the Triwizard Tournament ......"
"Triwizard Tournament?" The dwarf on one side suddenly became excited, this is a grand event every five years, "No wonder I think you are familiar with the little girl, you are the girl who competes for Osford!" ”
After Ellie nodded, the dwarf asked again, "Then I wanted to make weapons because of the competition, but ...... You're a pastor, right? ”
"Yes, but I also know some swordsmanship. I don't want to hurt anyone, I just need to protect myself, so I wanted to make a bladeless sword for competition. Ellie explained.
"I see, if you don't mind, I can make you a suitable weapon." Cassius said, looking at the girl.
"Are you also a blacksmith?" The girl asked with a puzzled face, the person in front of her was well-dressed and did not look like a blacksmith.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Cassius and I'm an alchemist."
"My name is Alicia, you can call me Ellie." Ellie curtsy again before introducing herself. "Why does Mr. Cassius want to make a weapon for me?"
"I just want to help the students of my friend's college."
"Are you...... Dean Bill's friend? Ellie said in surprise.
"That's right." Cassius nodded.
"But you look so young......" Ellie looked at the young man in front of her, and she really couldn't have imagined that she would be a friend of Dean Bill, who had a lot of beard.
"Hey, little girl, don't look at him very young, he's older than me." The dwarf on one side interjected, stretching out a hand and making a gesture of three, "And I'm more than three hundred years old." ”
"Well, Ellie, if you do what you ask, I don't think the whole of Osford will have the weapon you want." Just when Ellie was surprised at their age, Cassius said.
"That'...... Then I'll trouble you......" Ellie said, but Cassius was someone he had just met, and he was a little embarrassed to ask someone to help.
"It's okay." Cassius said, then raised a hand, "Give me your hand, I need to measure the width of the hilt." ”
"Good...... Okay......" The girl, unaware of this, stretched out her right hand with shame and placed it on Cassius' palm.
"Oh, magic making, huh?" After touching the girl's hand, Cassius said.
The girl knew that Cassius was talking about her own gloves, and she nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The next second the girl nodded, Cassius held Ellie's hand, and suddenly burst into a red flash, and the light without warning startled the girl.
Red light, which is ...... Alchemy?
