Chapter 516: Assist the Magic Guide to Build a Mecha (Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription)
"An egg?" Soram was a little stunned when he saw Elistra take out an egg, but after a closer look, Soram felt that the egg looked familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered that he didn't buy this egg when he was visiting the Spider Circus black market with Philip in Silvermoon City?
"Why is this in your hands?"
Soram had been holding this thing in his hand for a long time, but apart from the faint breath of life under the rocky eggshell, Soram had never found anything unusual.
In the end, Solam threw it into the dimensional bag and never moved, but he didn't expect it to appear in front of him today.
"Hehe, of course I took it out, you keep this egg next to my statue, and I'll bring it out."
Solam was actually very dissatisfied with Elistry taking things from his pocket so casually, but now was not the time to pay attention to this, he just wanted to know what this egg was, worthy of Elistri's attention, and specially took it from his dimensional bag.
Elistra was a god at any rate, and anything else wasn't worth it.
"I've been buying this egg for a while, but I still haven't figured out what it's for. You know? ”
Although this thing belongs to Solam, it stands to reason that Elistra takes Solam's things as a reward for Solam's, which is a bit of something.
But Soram doesn't think so, even if it's really a good thing, Soram doesn't know anything about it, and it's a dispensable waste. But if Elistra can solve his puzzles, then this waste can be turned into a treasure.
Solam still approves of this kind of reward, after all, in the eyes of the mage, knowledge has always been valuable. Elistra was able to tell Soram the origin of the egg's action, and that was also knowledge.
And Elistry is also a god, and what she can take out as a reward is definitely a good thing.
"Yes, when I saw this thing, I thought I was wrong, but ......I didn't expect it," Hearing Solam's question, Elistry touched the fossil-like egg with a little emotion, and said with a little emotion.
"This thing isn't actually an egg, its real name is 'Auxiliary Magic Guide Construct Mecha'."
"Auxiliary Wizard Construct Mecha ?!!"
Why did even the mecha come out? Soram looked at the egg in front of him, and couldn't associate it with the word mecha at all, after all, this thing was too inconspicuous. In Solam's impression, shouldn't the mecha be humanoid? At the very least, it should be metal, how can it be an egg?
And what's going on with the life fluctuations inside that egg? The mecha is still alive?
"Well, speaking of which, it's no wonder you don't know, the fact is that only a few gods know about this kind of thing, and coincidentally, I'm one of them."
"Tell me what the hell is going on with this thing!" Hearing Elistra say this, Soram was even more sure that this thing was definitely extraordinary, otherwise he wouldn't let Elistra say this, so Soram was even more curious about the history and function.
After that, Elistry told the origin and function of this thing.
This so-called 'Auxiliary Magic Guide Construct Mecha' was actually a very inconspicuous invention in the Nessera era. It's not that it's not powerful, it's a very powerful thing, it can turn a mage into a melee master in an instant, and the various abilities on the mecha are extraordinary.
For example, to increase strength, and then to fly away from the sky, etc.
But there was only one flaw that put the people of Nesser's time on the shelf for this extraordinary invention.
That is, this thing is too expensive to manufacture! Originally, the manufacturing process of this mecha was troublesome enough, and it was impossible for a non-top Arcanist to handle it at all. Even more troublesome than the manufacturing process is its raw materials.
The main material used to assist the magic guide to construct the mecha is an existence called essentia metal, which is only found in small quantities in some of the few comets in the astral realm, and is very difficult to find.
The metal is in a liquid state, and once it is molded with a special alchemical technique, it becomes extremely tough, and even if it is destroyed, it will quickly recover. What's even more interesting is that this liquid metal has an interesting property, which is that it is alive!
Yes, this metal is a living creature, although it has no intelligence and can only instinctively absorb energy to sustain itself, but it is indeed a living thing! Therefore, items made of this metal can be incorporated into the body at any time according to the user's thoughts, and the user's bodily functions can be used to maintain its activity.
It was this characteristic that made many Grand Arcanists at that time very eager for this magical material, which also led to the very, very high price of this metal!
It is also because this metal is so rare and too precious, so the invention of 'auxiliary magic guide to build a mecha' has been shelved.
Because the input and output are so disproportionate, this 'auxiliary magic guide construction mecha' is very powerful, but in the eyes of those great arcanists who are comparable to the gods in the world, that's it, do great arcanists need melee combat?
That's a joke! If it really comes to that point, does it make a difference if there is a 'Auxiliary Magic Guide Construct Mecha'? Isn't it the same as burping, and the opponent who can make the Grand Arcanist embarrassed to enter melee will not be able to get a 'Auxiliary Wizard Construct Mecha'?
So in the eyes of those great arcanists, this invention is quite a chicken rib, and it is better to make a few more magic items if you have this space. This thing doesn't improve the combat power of the Grand Arcanist much, and it's still expensive to death, who would be so boring to make it?
This kind of thing is only for those low-level arcanists who are not strong enough, but the question is where do low-level arcanists have the technology and materials to make this kind of thing? Naturally, this invention was not popular.
And the invention ability of this mecha is an accident. This so-called "Auxiliary Magic Guide Construct Mecha" has another name, called "Angel King Equipment".
It was a Grand Arcanist who saw the battle posture of the Angel King Midalon in a carving about the battle of chaos and order, and was inspired to invent a magical equipment that was modeled after the battle posture of the Angel King Midalen.
And Elistra will know this egg as the "King of Angels Equipment", also because she knows its inventor, "Saint" Itanos.
Don't look at his title as a saint and think he's a priest or some other clergyman, Itanos is a true Grand Arcanist, but unlike other Grand Arcanists, this Grand Arcanist is not hostile to the gods.
On the contrary, he also had great respect for the gods.
