Chapter 119: New Weapons
Both have their strengths and weaknesses, which is why Ios finds it difficult to choose.
Let's start with the cane, its advantage is obvious, it is not noticeable. Although it was strange that he was a young man with a cane, after all, it was not the last century or the beginning of this century, and gentlemen had a cane in their hands.
It's not popular anymore, but there are still a lot of people from wizarding families who have a long tradition and are used to going out with a cane, so it's not a serious problem.
As for the spear, its advantages are obvious, as a combat weapon, its lethality is much stronger than a cane. And even if you're not good at using a gun, you can't still use it as a stick, and you can just use it to smash people.
The shortcomings are also obvious, who will walk around with cold weapons in today's society. Maybe it will be reported by passers-by, and then the police will come and invite someone to have tea.
Besides, he doesn't know how to use a spear. You can't really use it as a stick to smash people, so what's the point of making a spear?
Having said that, the main reason why he wanted to make a weapon that would take a long time to make a cane or spear was so that it could double as a wand.
After all, this is just a low-magic world, and the upper limit of the world determines that the individual force of this world is not much stronger. If you fight alone, you can't do it alone, and you can't do it with thousands of troops, so if you really want to do this, it's better to carry a ** and die directly with the enemy.
So the kind of weapon that can be invincible in the world and suppress the whole world by one person as soon as he gets it has no knowledge reserves, and the world does not allow him to make it, after all, the upper limit of the mysterious side has been set to death.
And to enhance his combat power, then the wizard system, which has been perfected for thousands of years, is the most worthy of consideration, and it is not impossible for him to deduce a new system comparable to the existing system of wizards on his own, but it is thankless.
That would not make a real difference, except to enrich his means.
And when it comes to the existing wizard system, then the system of spells and wands is definitely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is also the most complete. Wizards fight, and other magic items are optional, but wands must not be missing.
Maybe a top wizard can defeat an ordinary wizard without a wand, but two top wizards face off, so if one has a wand and the other doesn't, then the result is obvious, and the one with a wand will definitely win.
This speaks volumes about how important a wand is to a wizard, and doesn't it seem that Voldemort is also looking for an even more powerful wand - the Elder Wand after repeatedly failing to kill Harry Potter.
Therefore, when Ios thought of making a new weapon, he thought about making it also function as a wand.
However, he was a little unsure about the shape of this weapon, and the cane and spear were good in their own ways, allowing him to wander left and right.
And if you don't decide on the shape of the new weapon, you can't start manufacturing, after all, different shapes and uses will definitely be different from the production process and materials, you can't always prepare one for each of the two materials, and then depending on the mood to do which one, right?
However, after thinking of a key point, he resolutely decided to choose the spear.
After all, you can't do with anything else, but you can't be handsome! How can a cane be as handsome as a spear!
Of course, there is not only such a simple reason, the spear must be larger than the cane, which means that it will use more materials, which means that Ios can attach more power to it.
An item is not infinitely magical, otherwise as long as wizards cast spells on a wand year after year, wouldn't it become a treasure after a hundred or thousand years?
Depending on the material and size of the item, the amount of power it can be attached to is estimated, and exceeding the limit will result in the destruction of the item itself.
So, better materials and bigger body means more power. From this point of view, a spear is clearly more suitable than a cane.
Now that the decision has been made, it is time to think about what materials to use to cast the spear, first of all, silver is definitely wanted. Many magic items are made of silver, not only because of their beauty, but also because of their good magic conductivity and adhesion.
Magical items made of silver are both beautiful and functional, which is why it is favored by wizards.
Secondly, mercury, gold, and copper can also be considered, and then some items with powerful magical powers, gems, and so on.
When you think about it, you will definitely have to spend a lot of money at that time, and I don't know if your savings will be enough......
Moreover, Alchemy Ios is no stranger, but he has no idea of forging weapons, and the experts in this area are those goblins, and it is difficult for humans to compare with them.
However, if the elf is entrusted with the forging, then no matter how perfect the finished product is, it is not the weapon that Ios expected, and that is no different from failure.
In addition, the concept of goblins is also a problem. They believe that everything they make belongs to them, that the wizard is just paying to rent it, and that if the wizard dies, it should be returned to the goblin rather than inherited by future generations.
This is obviously very different from the concept of human beings.
So, what should you do? Do you want to learn the forging technique from the goblins, but they are not necessarily willing to teach themselves, and even if they do, it is difficult to say whether they will hide their secrets, and this choice will be talked about until there is really no way.
So, do you still want to find a wizard who is good at this to learn or buy a book to teach yourself?
It is difficult to find a wizard who can do this, and self-study is not reliable, forging is not something that can be learned by self-study, all kinds of skills in it need to be practiced by hand, and without the teaching of the master, it may take more time to become a great tool.
What to do?
Just as Ios was worrying about these unfinished matters, Wilt suddenly sent him a warning signal.
It's coming so quickly, Ministry of Magic pursuers.
Ios, who received the warning, immediately raised his spirits, I don't know how many Aurors have come this time, is there any special preparation? Maybe it's going to be a tough battle.
Covered in a black cloak, Ios walked out of his hiding place this time, and swept away without a trace of a human figure. But under the scanning of his mental power, the twelve figures were clearly exposed to his eyes.
"The formation is really big, there are twelve Aurors to deal with me, obviously I haven't done anything bad, right?" The flat voice was not loud, but it echoed in everyone's ears.
“!!!”
Exposed! Although I don't know how this 'dark wizard' did it, it is obvious that his group has been exposed.
All the Aurors who had come silently walked out of their hiding places, withdrawing their hidden magic, and though they didn't seem to care about the revelation of their whereabouts, the hands that clenched their wands showed their uneasiness.
