Chapter Ninety-Four: Trial Production of Magical Jewelry

Vane and Walker walked around the trading floor for a long time, and Wayne frowned and said to Walker, "What's going on?" Why can't you see herbs at all. Not to mention gemstones, not even ores can be seen. ”

"There are only weapons and equipment here, and if you want to buy gems, it's best to go to the cargo town down the hill to buy them. Because gems are generally not used in weapons or armor. Once mined, these items are usually shipped along with them to the border trading towns to be traded to other races. Walker said as a matter of course.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Vane was dissatisfied.

"Don't you still want to buy metal ingots, the metal ingots here are the best." Walker said to Vane.

"Okay, Walker. It's better to help me see which metal ingots, and by the way, buy some bronze ingots as practice. Vane sighed and said to Walker.

"No problem, look at me." Walker patted his chest and said, "As long as it has something to do with striking iron, every dwarf is an expert." ”

Walker immediately entered the state after speaking, judging the fineness of various metal ingots. There wasn't that much bargaining between the dwarves. In fact, this is true of all races except humans and humans. After fanciing a certain product, ask the price directly, and the seller will also quote a reasonable price, if the buyer thinks it is suitable, he will immediately pay for it, and if he thinks it is expensive, he will leave to look elsewhere. A deal is done in just a few words.

If it were humans, they would quote a very high price at the beginning, and then the two humans would start to bargain over the price of the goods, sometimes even for a whole hour, which seemed to be a waste of time in the eyes of other races, but humans were happy to do it.

Whenever Vane and Barka and Kalia and Walker talked about a deal between humans, Walker would say to Vane that those humans always said that their lives were short, but at the same time they wasted their time on such meaningless things as bargaining, and that they might as well do something more meaningful when they had this time. Every time he listened to Walker's words, Vane always felt his face burn a little.

With Walker's help, the two of them quickly managed to buy enough ingots. There are both good and ordinary bronze ingots. After the two of them had enough to buy, they left Ironforge together, returned to the town where they were temporarily staying, and then went in the other direction through another road monster. This direction is the way to a mine that is relatively close to the area.

If Vane wants to buy gems, he has to visit the mines, as those things don't make it into the official town at all, and are taken to the border town by the merchants.

The dwarves are more likely to send the gems to the gnomes, and then buy muskets and other engineering machinery from the gnomes, which are either sold to other races or left by the dwarves for their own use. Only a relatively small part of it will be sent to the port of Minahir, where it will be loaded onto and transported to Quel'Thalas, where it will be exchanged for grain and brought back.

After an afternoon of running, Vane finally bought enough gems to start trial production of the jewelry. The first is to use spells to transform metal ingots and gems, and then to leave a spell model loop on them. Gems are used to store arcane energy. Once crafted, the spell can be used as long as the wearer activates the spell model circuit with the spirit. Of course, this is just one of the ways in which magical items are made, and there are many others. For example, magical constant items that will always work as long as they are worn on the body.

It's just that Vane may be the first trial production, and when Vane is finished, the entire jewelry silently turns into a puddle of metal liquid in a burst of strong light, and the gems have completely turned into powder. All this means that the first trial production of Venn has failed. If you want to make another trial, you'll have to wait until all his spell slots have been restored.

"It's so dangerous." Walker, who was originally curious about how Vane made magic items, muttered to himself in amazement when he saw the scene of the entire bronze ingots melting away after a burst of bright light.

Immediately afterward, Walker came back to his senses and shouted to this Vane, "Vane, didn't you say there was no danger? ”

"Of course, are you hurt?" Vane heard Walker's shout and replied calmly, "And I said there would be no explosion, right?" You see, there was no explosion, did it? ”

After a pause, Walker then shouted, "But it looks even more terrifying than an explosion, doesn't it?" ”

"No, no, no, Walker. You have to understand that an explosion is an explosion that blows all the energy out in an instant. Vane held out a finger and waved, "Melting metal is just too much energy." ”

"But it looks a little weird." Walker didn't know what to say at this time, he had seen a lot of metal melted, and when the iron was struck, the metal needed to be smelted first. But now the metal in front of him had melted into a liquid without going through the heat, and such a strange situation was obviously beyond his knowledge.

"You think it's weird because you don't know why, and if you do, you think it's normal." Vane looked a little frightened by Walker, so he spoke to him.

"Oh? So what is the reason for it? Walker heard Vane's words and felt that there was some truth in it, so he asked.

"Didn't I say that? The energy in it is a little too high, so it melts. After saying that, Vane also somewhat understood why the magic products in DND always needed high-grade items such as Mithril Adamantine. It's because ordinary metal can't withstand too much arcane energy. Moreover, the gem has also turned into fly ash, which indicates that there is something wrong with Vane's production method this time.

"But why does it melt when the energy is too high?" Walker didn't care what Wayne was thinking, he just asked what he didn't understand.

"If the energy is too high, it will produce high temperatures, and when the temperature is too high, it will naturally melt the metal. You should understand that, right? Vane explained like Walker.

"High temperatures? You know, in the melting pot, I would believe you when you say it's hot, but here I don't feel it get hot. Walker listened to the explanation and said without believing it at all.

"Of course you can't feel it. I used a spell to lock all the energy in there. If you can still feel the temperature, it's dangerous. Vane shook his head and continued to explain to Walker.

"I see." That's when Walker finally figured out why that was happening. Then he nodded and smiled, "Sure enough, once I figure out the reason, I won't feel weird." So are you going to continue experimenting? ”

"No, I have to think about how to improve to be successful, and it is not advisable to move forward recklessly." Vane said to Walker as he undressed and went to bed.

Actually, it's not just about how to improve and what went wrong. The trick that Vane remembered today was not suitable for another reason, and what he had to do now was to change the trick to the right one. It took him eight hours to wait.
