【Chapter 527】 Rune Forge
Runebringer.
Runebringer, to be precise, has not yet been completed. The giant, which is about ten meters tall, is made of a rock that emits a faint blue light, precisely carved into the geometric outline of the parts.
The overall slender and well-proportioned, arms, legs, torso, and head are well proportioned, and the elegant and slender body of the star seeker itself is clearly referenced. The limbs and the main parts of the torso are covered with sharp armor made of obvious metal, which has a unique killing aura.
There are scaffolds that have not been dismantled all around, and there are still some scattered rune parts on the platform in front of the right arm. But it is almost complete, and the runes on the surface of the pale blue rock have not yet been lit, showing a dim state.
Still, in terms of momentum, it is not inferior to the resentment aggregate.
At this moment, Qin Song, who was hiding his perspective above the dome and observing secretly, couldn't help but exclaim.
This colossus called Runebringer is infinitely close to an image he knows, or many boys love, in terms of form—Gundam!
That's right, it's Gundam!
The slender and dignified thighs, the sharp and angular arms, the tall and rugged torso, and the chiseled geometric facial features, if you add the shield sword, the exterior armor and the classic red and white paint, it is simply a copy of the Gundam.
The characteristics of the star-seeker civilization are the study of the stars, the stars involve the trajectory of the star map, and the trajectory involves geometry, and the mechanical creation Gundam with geometric beauty is in line with the aesthetics of the star-seeker.
Orcs have blood dinosaurs, the Holy Spirit has golden icons, and Poseidon has shark trolls.
Although Qin Song managed to develop high-powered thermal weapons such as guns and cannons, which were used against the enemy's large units. But in fact, Qin Song, who is also a god, has always been in a state of envy, jealousy and hatred.
It doesn't matter if it's awesome or not.
Strong, cool, and big, it's enough.
I really didn't expect that my dream would come true here!
Life is full of surprises.
Hadiris, who has mastered the legacy of the Star Seeker, is equivalent to the blueprint of the rune version of the Gundam, and as long as the mission can be successfully completed, then the replica of the Rune Messenger can be fully expected.
Until now, Qin Song suddenly felt that no matter how tedious and difficult this task was.
It's now worth the price!
Looking at the three girls who were full of excitement and trotted all the way to the rune messenger, it could be seen from the expressions of admiration on their faces.
Like Qin Song, they were shocked by the work of the Star Seeker.
Standing at the feet of the rune messengers, they are like the villains who look up to Gulliver in "Gulliver's Travels", their eyes are full of awe.
"I believe now, this thing can be used to destroy the degenerate!" Iluri patted Hadilith on the shoulder, her mouth exclaiming, "What a shocking masterpiece. ”
"Yes, from the moment I entered this magnificent temple, I felt the prosperity of the star-seeking civilization. Step by step, what I felt was the traces of a race. Perhaps, I have never experienced it myself. But just this temple made me understand the rise and fall of a civilization, the rise and fall of a civilization, and the tenacity of a civilization. ”
Esrena's face was full of emotion, she had been instructed by her ancestors as an elf, and she had heard those great descriptions. But today, in a decaying civilization, we can truly deeply appreciate the hardships and ups and downs, as well as the glory.
Hadiris's eyes were full of joy: "I only learned of the existence of the Runebringer through memory, and like you, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes. ”
"The armor is so domineering!" Eluri couldn't wait to come to her feet, stroking the layered metal armor on her feet, shimmering like piano paint, feeling the unique cold touch.
"Yes. Very deterrent and protective armor. But it's not the core. Hadilith wrapped around her ankles, and the stone face with the runes could be clearly seen at the junction of the armor: "The entire foot is made up of dozens of closely bound alien rune stones, and the runes are connected to each other, interact with each other, and are controlled by the control center in the chest. ”
Iluri said in surprise, "You mean the control center, is it similar to the control center in the Starlight Spire?"
"Hmm. Hadilith walked around to the scaffold at her heel, and pointed up with her hand, and the back armor of the runebrage was open, revealing a star ring: "The star ring is the door lock, open it to enter the control center." Runebringers themselves are incapable of acting autonomously and need to be manipulated by humans. ”
"Driving? Someone needs to drive it? It's like a man driving a horse-drawn carriage? No...... Horses still have their own ideas. "Iluri's eyes lit up, what would it be like to be able to control such a behemoth?
As she spoke, she quickly climbed up the scaffolding and held out her hand, "Hadilis, Rena." What are you waiting for? Let's go in and see. ”
"Don't worry!" Rena smiled wryly, and Iluri got a little carried away, this was not a toy, but the key to their next step.
"Hadiris, I suggest checking the situation with the Stellar Whip first. ”
The Whip of the Stars is set on the runebringer's right hand, in an unfinished state, with the hand armor placed aside, revealing the entire arm and palm made up of runestones. A special shield container was attached to the forearm
To be precise, the Whip of the Stars is hidden in the shield container. The top lid of the container is open, and you can see a metal cylinder with seven sections, which are connected to each other and entrenched in the container.
The inside of the cylinder is hollowed out, embedded with intricate rune stone pillars, and the four metal knots at the end are empty, apparently not yet installed.
"Only four-sevenths of the way through. Hadilith carefully observed: "The three sections at the end are empty, and they need to be filled with corresponding runes in order to become one with the first four sections. Missing any stanza, the Whip of the Stars is invalid. ”
"Can you try to fix it?"
"The design drawings for the Whip of the Stars are independent. Hadirith glanced around and pointed to the back of the runebringer, where there was an arch with a star ring, "The drawings should be in the craftsman's room." ”
"Won't it rot, will it?" Esreina sounded the books in the shelter that were too old and rotten.
Hadiris shook her head: "No, this kind of important drawings are engraved on stone tablets and kept as important information. Let's go, whether it can be repaired or not, at least look at the drawings to know. ”
The two turned around and left, and Yiluli hurriedly jumped down from the scaffolding: "Hey~~ Wait for me." ”
Opening the star ring, they found that the artisan's room was more like a library, with many high-backed stone chairs and stone tables in the main hall, and rows of stone shelves at the back of the main hall, and hundreds of square stone slabs neatly placed on the shelves.
The blueprint slabs that record the Whip of the Stars, because they are under construction, are placed on the largest stone table, and there are seven in total, each corresponding to a metal knot.
"Here!"
Through the serial numbers in the corners of the stone tablets, Hadilith found the corresponding three stone tablets, which were densely packed with runic patterns and text annotations.
Iruli couldn't help but ask, "This is too complicated, isn't it?"
"If it had been simple, maybe they would have finished it long ago. Eslena shook her head and smiled bitterly, "If it really can't be repaired, we can only choose to give up." ”
Hadilith didn't speak, studying the slate carefully.
The Whip of the Stars is indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of the Star Seekers, and any one of them alone requires thirty or forty kinds of rune stone pillars, which are combined in a specific order, without the slightest mistake.
"Alas~ it's too difficult. I don't think it's really like it's so much trouble......"
"Shhhh ”
The three stone slabs took Hadilis a long time, and then she slowly raised her head: "The Whip of the Stars was created to increase the stakes of victory. Almost all rune craftsmen are involved, and the required runes are dispatched to all working workshops. Due to their different progresses, a large part of the runes have actually been crafted. However, you will need to wait for other runes before the installation can be completed. ”
"I think we'll need to take the slate and go to each workshop to see how many runes are missing. If I'm lucky enough, and the number of bad ones isn't too much, I can try to make it. ”
Eslena nodded, "I agree." ”
Iluri nodded along.
Armed with the blueprint slate, the three of them returned to the Rune Trail again. In order to improve efficiency, Hadilis sent a piece to each of them, introducing the rune styles needed in it, and they only need to follow the map and count the number.
The actual name of the workshop is the Rune Casting Room, and the rooms are equipped with small rune furnaces, carving tables, pouring tables, and shelves. Among them, the carving table is to carve the required runes from special stones, and put them into the infusion table to charge the runes to make them have an effect, and finally like a furnace, the rune effect is solidified.
It sounds simple, but in reality, each step is a delicate job. For example, in engraving, the runes must be strictly in accordance with the geometric parameters and must not deviate in the slightest. The perfusion table needs to control the strength of the energy, too strong is easy to cause the effect to expand, resulting in the rune cracking, too weak will be insufficient effect, instability during smelting, and eventually failure.
Smelting, on the other hand, requires constant adjustment of the temperature of the furnace fire so that the runes are always in a stable state.
Fortunately, at present, only the number needs to be counted, and if the difference is too much, you can only choose to give up and control the incomplete rune messenger for the next step.
When the statistics came out, Hadilis had mixed feelings.
Happily, many rune parts have been melted, and only the key core rune parts are missing, and there are twelve of them. Worriedly, these twelve are the most difficult, the most complex, and the most delicate, and she is a little worried that she will not be able to do it.
After all, she only has knowledge inheritance, and she has not really made runes.
"Hadilith, I understand your concerns. ”
Seeing Hadilys's worried expression, Eslena's eyes were full of encouragement: "But I choose to believe you, no matter what the final result is, at least we have worked hard, and that is enough." Don't forget, perseverance and faith are a test in themselves. ”
"That's right!" Iluri patted her on the shoulder and clenched her fists, "Don't forget, you inherit the knowledge of the Prophets, who themselves are the founders of the Star-Seeking Civilization. I don't think there are any great craftsmen who can surpass their achievements. ”
"Well, I'll do my best. ”
Along the way, Hadilys' contribution was minimal, and in many cases even burdensome. But now, she knew in her heart that the time had come for her to make a difference!
