Chapter 612: Green Claw
This magic weapon, that is, the puppet, was made for Erin. When it is activated tomorrow, it will be completely Irene's possession.
Ji Ran can help it repair the damage in the future, and can also help it replace materials. But it's Erin who can really make it progress.
However, Ji Ran believes that Erin will definitely be able to do this...... With his relationship with Erin for so long, he believed that Erin would definitely not let him down.
Now this leopard puppet stands quietly between the two of them, like a work of art. If you don't look at its peculiar emerald green color, this puppet is no different from a real leopard...... Whether it's posture or momentum. The kind of hunter who is like a hunter hiding in the shadows, after finding the prey, tenses his whole body, and intends to kill with one blow, the momentum is undoubtedly revealed.
Ji Ran even felt that if he put this leopard in the forest, as long as the person who found this leopard was not of the golden rank, his first reaction would definitely be to turn around and run...... The momentum exuded by this leopard has faintly reached the golden level!
Of course, this is not a good thing. As a hunter hiding in the shadows, the leopard should be able to hide all its breath. It is only the moment it begins to attack that its momentum is revealed. This, after Erin activates it, should be able to be solved.
Ji Ran is a little tired now, in fact, even if he experiences the battle between an anomaly and a gold-level powerhouse, it will not let him be like this. But refining this magic weapon really consumed too much of his mental energy.
But the results were satisfying. Ji Ran felt that he had brought out all of his greatest strength so far - of course, in alchemy. There is also a lot of alchemy in it, which is chosen to conform to the laws of this world and the materials.
He did the blueprint for the leopard himself. Although with the help of some drawings from alchemy. But inside the construction. The ideas were all his own, not those drawings. It can be said that this is almost a complete, high-grade finished product that he independently refined.
The various functions of the leopard were also thought of by himself and then tried to achieve. In fact, this is quite difficult, ordinary functions are easy to solve, but the improvement of strength is not great. But those special features. It's too difficult to integrate into a leopard.
However, Ji Ran still tried his best to integrate several special functions that he could think of and do into the leopard's body. Now Ji Ran doesn't know what the result of the integration will be, and tomorrow when Erin activates this leopard, he should be able to get the result.
“…… You've worked hard. Erin looked at Ji Ran, and her face became as calm and cold as at the beginning.
"What hard work! For the sake of everyone, my hard work is also voluntary. What's more, I don't feel hard this time...... This is the most satisfying work I have ever produced! I believe. Wait until tomorrow when you activate it, and you'll be amazed! ”
Ji Ran is still very excited. So I didn't find the deep meaning hidden in Irene's hard work.
Erin glanced at Ji Ran deeply again and didn't say anything. Turning, she headed for the door.
"See you tomorrow, then."
Ji Ran was excited, and suddenly saw Erin turn around and leave, and felt that something was wrong in his heart. But he didn't know what was wrong with Irene...... I helped her refine a work that she was most satisfied with, she should be happy, right?
With a bang, the door slammed shut. In the house, only Ji Ran and the emerald green leopard were left.
Ji Ran thought for a long time and shook his head. I don't know how I offended this elf again...... But it doesn't matter, it's not the first time anyway, is it?
Although Erin is easily angry, she is an elf who does not hold grudges...... At least for your own people. Anyway, when she gets up tomorrow, her anger should be gone, right?
Then, Ji Ran filled his stomach with food and drink, and then put the emerald green leopard into the backpack space, turned around and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
Although cultivation can replace sleep and relieve physical fatigue, mental fatigue is not so easy to relieve. Especially after being nervous for so long, I am also mentally tired. At this time, there is no better way to relieve fatigue than a good night's sleep.
This night, Ji Ran slept until dawn the next day.
Obviously, Erin told the others about Ji Ran's hard work, so no one came to bother him. By the time he got up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Rice and the others were all in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and it seemed that they had already eaten breakfast. Seeing Ji Ran going downstairs, Erin just glanced up, then turned her head and continued to tease Hua Luo.
"Well, I've slept a little longer. Have you all had breakfast? So if it's okay, let's go, shall we? ”
Ji Ran naturally told the others about going out to activate the leopard today, and in the hall, it was not good to say it like that.
Rice glanced at Ji Ran: "Don't have to eat breakfast?" ”
Ji Ran smiled: "Will I still lack breakfast?" ”
His space container contained quite a few things like all kinds of dry food and snacks. It may be a little tiresome to eat it all the time, but it doesn't matter if you eat it once in a while.
The group hit the road like this. Ji Ran carefully observed Erin, but found that Erin was not unusual...... This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and sure enough, Erin didn't hold a grudge!
But why did she seem to be angry last night? I didn't do anything to make her angry, did I? I really don't understand, women are really scary......
Although Ji Ran has played the role of a confidant big brother many times, in essence, he is still an otaku, an otaku who has not had a girlfriend for more than 20 years......
It would be an overstatement to expect him to fully understand a girl's mind. What's more, it's a strange female elf like Irene.
The group quickly left the top of the blood and came to the middle of a sparse wood. The woods weren't very lush, but they barely kept out the sight of outsiders. The most important thing is that there is a hill in front of this forest as a cover, so it will not be easily discovered by adventurers who have fallen from the top of the blood.
After finding this hidden location, Ji Ran took out the leopard.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Lydia immediately exclaimed.
This leopard must be very beautiful, the whole is as green and transparent as jade, but the fur on its body is extremely realistic and lifelike. From a distance, apart from the fact that the color is a little weird, there is no difference between it and an ordinary leopard.
The leopard that Ji Ran used as a reference is a cheetah that lives widely in various locations on the continent...... Not Warcraft, but ordinary animals. But this thing is extremely powerful, and even if it is a third- or fourth-order demonic beast, it will often become its prey.
Designing the leopard like this, Ji Ran also had the idea of letting the enemy look down on it. Anyway, it's not ugly, why do you have to make it look like a mighty monster?
"I feel...... It has some similarities to the Little Apple, but it's not identical. Alice looked curiously at the puppet leopard and compared it to her little apple.
"Of course it's different, the little apple is an ancient legacy, and this leopard is just made by me. The leopard still has a lot to lose, but as long as it has time, it will definitely catch up with the little apple! So, Alice wants to make Little Apple a good friend with her! ”
Ji Ran went over and touched Alice's hair. In the past three years, Alice has not grown taller, which is a good interpretation of the definition of a strange creature called "10,000-year-old Lori". Ji Ran's action has become natural.
"Okay!" Alice was also pleased. Little Apple also wants a little friend, but in this team, Hualu can play this role. It's a pity that Hua Luo thinks of himself as an adult, oh no, an adult bird, and is not willing to play this trick with Little Apple......
Maybe this leopard can really become Apple's partner, right?
"By the way, Ji Ran, what's its name?" Alice tilted her head and asked Ji Ran.
This question stopped Ji Ran. Yes, what is the name of this leopard? Ji Ran was excited all the way in the process of refining it, but the excitement was focused on other parts, and he didn't think about the name.
"It's up to Erin to come up with the name. After all, she will be the owner of this leopard in the future. ”
Ji Ran smiled and pushed the question onto Erin.
Erin walked over and placed her hand gently on top of the leopard's head. Leopards have a warm body all over, and although they don't have the same body temperature as living creatures, they are also not as cold as stones.
"It's called Green Claw, Green Claw." Erin didn't seem to hesitate for long, and decided on the name of the leopard at once. "It's going to be a good friend for Apple...... Definitely. ”
As she spoke, she nodded at Alice.
Alice was so happy that her smiling eyes narrowed.
"So, let's get started." Ji Ran stepped forward, grabbed Erin's hand, and pressed it against the top of the leopard's, oh no, green paws. The silky and delicate little hands made Ji Ran feel a wave in his heart.
Despite the long and hard training, Erin's hands were still white and tender, with no scars or calluses from training.
Forcibly holding back the throbbing in his heart, Ji Ran took a deep breath.
"Close your eyes and put your mind on the palm of your hand. Imagine that you are communicating with Greenpaw, and imagine your connection to the sacred tree. Then, inject all the natural power in your body into the palm of your hand......"
Erin listened to Ji Ran's words and closed her eyes slightly. Then, her body shone slightly. A visible force of nature was passing through her body, and then flowing down her palm into the green claws.
Ji Ran held Erin's hand in his hand, but he was not idle, or he was deliberately taking advantage...... He fused his mana with Erin's natural power, and sent it into Greenpaw's body as well.
"Now, call Greenpaw. Sue it, wake up......"
The next moment, the small sparse forest was enveloped in a large green light. (To be continued......)
