Chapter 53: The villain has come to the door to taunt!
Vicky is an ordinary human woman.
She had no talent for combat, so when she was very young, her family sent her to a tailor's shop in the city of Belial to learn her trade.
If you count from the time of apprenticeship, Xiaowei has been a tailor for more than ten years.
She has always felt that she has no talent, and the elf boss lady always says that she is a little less spiritual.
This idea lasted until more than a dozen days ago.
Ten days ago, a shop called Jiangnan Leather Workshop opened, mainly engaged in leather armor business, and it is said that the leather armor produced by the workshop will be made by Lei Yang, a genius boy who is famous in Belia City.
The news that the genius boy Lei Yang learned a craft in three days was also rumored in Belial City some time ago, so Xiaowei naturally heard of this person's name.
Like many aborigines, Xiaowei chose to go to watch the opening of the workshop, wanting to meet the talented young man.
She was skeptical of this person's rumors, but when she encountered a bottleneck, she still held the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, hoping that the genius boy could solve her doubts.
But when she didn't have much hope, she was the first to enter the workshop and witnessed the whole process of Lei Yang's leather armor making.
The young man's superb skills deeply impressed her.
Xiaowei felt that the boy was not so much making leather armor as he was making art—because she really had never seen equipment so perfect in terms of craftsmanship and function.
This may be a misnomer, as the leather armor itself is only blue equipment, and if it is more powerful purple or orange equipment, it will definitely be better than the leather armor made by the boy. But ordinary leather armor can be crafted into blue equipment, and ordinary blue equipment can make people feel perfect......
This is an art in itself.
The process of making leather armor for teenagers is indeed an art. The production of leather armor combines a variety of crafts such as tailoring, forging, inlay, and magic array carving, and each step of the process from the hands of the young man can make Xiaowei feel amazed.
Especially in the field of tailoring, which she is good at, she only knew about it after seeing the workmanship of the teenager...... It turns out that the tailor can still do this, and it turns out that this is what the proprietress once said to herself about spirituality.
It was as if the door to a new world had been opening to me since that day.
That's why she started a heated argument with Lei Yang's sister about the price after she walked out of the hut - pricing such leather armor for twenty copper was simply an insult to Lei Yang.
She became Lei Yang's number one fan, and almost every day she came to see Lei Yang's process of making leather armor. Even though she had watched it many times, she still felt that it was a pleasure to watch Lei Yang make leather armor.
The same is true today.
Most of the leather armor that Lei Yang was making at the moment had been completed, and only the last step of the magic array carving remained.
Lei Yang took out a wind-based magic stone, gently ground it into powder, and then mixed the powder with water and smeared it on the carving knife.
When the liquid touches the carving knife, the blade of the knife glows a faint green light.
Lei Yang picked up the carving knife in his right hand and began to carve on the leather armor.
Xiao Wei knew that the magic array carving did not theoretically require the carver to have magic power, because most of the magic power of the magic array was provided by the magic stone, and the carver only needed to carve out the appropriate lines to guide the flow of magic power to complete the corresponding functions of the magic array.
But in fact, the vast majority of the Magic Circle Carvings are magicians, because magicians are much better than ordinary people in perceiving the flow of magic and channeling magic. Although you can also rely on hard work and experience to make up for your innate shortcomings, no matter what, there is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and magicians in terms of magic array carving.
No matter how hard ordinary people tried, they couldn't carve the magic circle as easily and casually as a magician.
But this sentence can't be applied to the young man in front of him.
Lei Yang's carving knife swiped smoothly on the leather armor, without the slightest feeling of sluggishness, and some green lines quickly appeared on the leather armor under the outline of the carving knife, and the lines overlapped each other to form a strange pattern, and the faint green magic slowly flowed with the trajectory of the lines.
Although the leather armor was not hard, the boy was able to draw lines on it so easily...... The scene still looks a little incredible.
The young man obviously did not have any magic power on his body, but after lifting the carving knife, he was like a fish in water, like a bird returning to the forest, as if a fish was swimming freely in the fish pond, and the birds were soaring in the sky wantonly, and the lines full of beauty were engraved on the leather armor at will.
From the moment he lifted the knife to the time he drew the lines of the debut, the boy did not pause for a moment, and completed most of the carving in just two minutes.
Even a skilled magic array carver would take more than ten minutes or so to complete a complete magic array, but for so long, Xiao Wei had never seen Lei Yang spend more than three minutes on the process of carving a magic array.
He has no magic power, but he seems to be able to perceive the flow of those magic powers, and every knife can be steadily carved out along the trajectory of the flow of magic power.
Xiaowei watched Lei Yang's movements with bated breath, as if she was watching a grand performance.
The carving of the magic array was nearing the end, but Lei Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.
For some reason, at this moment, there was a feeling in his heart that he was still unfinished, and he subconsciously extended the trajectory of his carving knife.
He remembered the black goshawk that the two-headed eagle had sent out earlier, and the black light projectile emitted by the giant serpent—the energy had converged into different shapes, but with the same black ripples fluctuating in between.
The black ripples flow and change regularly, like the lines under the knife.
They...... It's all the same.
Lei Yang's heart inexplicably gave birth to such a thought.
Lei Yang himself didn't know why, but in the next moment, a very strange thought appeared in his mind!
Then I'......
Can you have something like this?
Thinking of this, the knife that should have been finished was abruptly elongated by Lei Yang, and then he used the carving knife in his hand to arbitrarily draw new lines on the leather armor.
The speed of Lei Yang's carving knife became faster and faster, and countless lines were carved out in the flying.
Xiao Wei, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly widened her eyes when she saw Lei Yang's actions, and almost let out a scream, but she knew that Lei Yang's state at the moment must not be disturbed by the outside world, so she consciously covered her mouth.
Although she was not the carver of the magic array, after watching Lei Yang's process of making leather armor for so many days, she knew very well that the magic array carved by Lei Yang at the moment was obviously different from before.
Moreover, before Lei Yang made this move, the lines of the magic array were obviously the same as those carved a few days ago, and he suddenly acted like this at this moment......
It was clearly on the basis of that magic array......
Build a new circle!
Lei Yang didn't know what kind of magic array he would carve, but at this time, he only felt an indescribable heartiness in his heart, and all the emotions he wanted to vent in his heart before turned into lines and jumped on the magic circle.
With the outline of his carving knife, a new magic array gradually took shape. His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and at the same time, he felt a sudden rise of power in his body, which began from the dantian in his abdomen and slowly flowed through his limbs.
It's as if ...... There was an equally new power that had emerged from within him!
It's not ......
With one last sword, Lei Yang would be able to complete the carving of the magic array.
With the last sword, the power that has been accumulating in Lei Yang's body can also be completely formed!
However, at the moment when Lei Yang took the knife, a noisy voice came from outside the door of the hut:
"Sir...... Gentlemen, please don't do that! There's a guest inside! ”
"Guests? Is this the hospitality of your workshop? Aren't we guests? ”
Lei Yang's wrist shook slightly, and the originally incomparably accurate knife was slightly off from the intended position.
After this knife was cut, the magic array suddenly dimmed, and the pale green light quickly disappeared into the space.
The power that pervaded the body also dissipated into invisibility in an instant.
Xiao Wei on the side suddenly let out an exclamation, this was the first time she had seen Lei Yang fail.
……
Several men walked into the hut, followed by a panting Wu Fenmei.
Xiao Wei looked at the person who came with some dissatisfaction, even if she didn't understand the magic array, she knew that Lei Yang was in a very critical state just now, and it was they who interfered with Lei Yang's last step.
The tall man at the head ignored Xiao Wei's gaze, glanced at Lei Yang, walked to the workbench, and grabbed the leather armor in front of him.
The workmanship of the leather armor is indeed very exquisite, and the leather armor itself can hardly find any shortcomings, but it is precisely because of this......
The magic array on the back of the leather armor without any magic fluctuations was particularly eye-catching.
Every line of the magic circle is extremely beautifully carved, and if you look at it only from the outside, it is a good decorative pattern.
But the mere absence of mana flow is enough to obscure all its virtues - for a magic array, there is no mana flow unless the mana is naturally exhausted......
It means that it is just a failed magic array.
Seeing that the tall man took away the leather armor he made, Lei Yang didn't stop it, just frowned and stared at the other party.
After the man took the leather armor and looked at it for a long time, a little smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Lei Yang, is this your level?" ”
Lei Yang didn't speak, still looking at him quietly.
Seeing that Lei Yang didn't speak, the man continued to ask, and there seemed to be a bit of sarcasm in his words: "Mr. Lei Yang, we have been in the Azure Continent for so long, what other things have you done besides learning a lot of skills?" ”
Lei Yang thought about it when he heard this, and then replied to the other party: "No." ”
"No?" After hearing the answer, the tall man suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahahaha! Hahaha! Hahahahaha! ”
He laughed exaggeratedly, presumptuously, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.
Wu Fenmei frowned when he heard this, because he found that this person's heart was full of a sense of superiority that could not be concealed...... It's as if you feel like you're above everyone else present.
Although the hearts of the other people are not as exaggerated as this person, they also have a strong sense of superiority in their hearts.
The mockery in the man's laughter was very strong, and Xiaowei on the side really couldn't hear the other party's weird smile, so she couldn't help jumping out and pointing at him and said, "What kind of attitude do you have!?" Since you're here to buy leather armor, please respect Mr. Lei Yang, okay!? “
After hearing Xiaowei's questioning, the man really restrained his rampant laughter, but replaced it with a smile full of mockery: "Miss, I'm just laughing at an adventurer who has achieved nothing for two months......"
At this point, he paused, and then threw the leather armor in his hand to the ground!
The leather armor made a dull sound as it landed on the ground, and the man's next action amplified the sound - he lifted his right foot and stomped heavily on the leather armor!
And as if dissatisfied, he twisted his right foot back and forth a few times after stepping on the leather armor under his feet.
After doing all this, the man looked at Lei Yang, and the taste of mockery when he spoke was overflowing: "In good conscience, I only learned life skills in one or two months...... And adventurers who can't even do this well are rubbish! ”
