Chapter 114: Defective Product
The purple-blue fireball finally touched the axe surface, making a sound of water dripping on the hot metal surface, and then under the shocked eyes of the clerk Hu Ke, the purple-blue fireball actually burned a small piece of the axe surface.
Seeing that the goods in the store were damaged, the clerk Hu Ke instinctively wanted to stop Allen, but he didn't expect the boss Aple to reach out to stop him, Hu Ke looked at Aple inexplicably, and then he saw a hidden surprise in the depths of Aple's eyes, if it wasn't for Hu Ke who had been with him for a few years, he might not have found it at all.
Alan stayed in the weapons store until the afternoon before coming out, and it was only then that Alan breathed a sigh of relief because the first and most important part of his plan had fully entered the implementation phase.
The goal of the first part of the plan is to make money, to make money as much as Alan can. And the fastest way to make money as a mage is, of course, alchemy, so the first thing to do is to find a big weapons shop to negotiate cooperation.
But if you want a shrewd businessman to believe that it is profitable to get from Allen as a young man, then Allen must show his hand to these snobbish guys, so Allen has been preparing for alchemy since he completed the Wind Wolf mission and left Daige Village.
Especially the Flame Gathering Technique used today, although this is not a very difficult magic, but for a junior magician, it is obviously very difficult, so Alan practiced this magic almost every night before arriving in Iron Pine Town.
After the battle with the Wind Wolf King, Alan could clearly feel his huge improvement in mental power and magic control, including letting several fireballs spin in the sky above his palm, and finally merge the three into one, among which the fire control technique and the flame melting technique were used.
The old mage had already mentioned when he taught them that the best way to improve their magical abilities was actually in actual combat, and when you defeated opponents who were stronger than you, you could even get more extra boosts, which was actually exactly the same as a swordsman.
It is precisely because of this improvement that it is possible for Alan to cast the Flame Gathering Technique, and because of the bonus effect of the strange stone in his arms on the fire magic, if Ellen uses the Flame Gathering Technique to depict magic runes on the metal, it can completely achieve twice the result with half the effort, which is also an important reason why Allen is confident that he will make a fortune through alchemy.
Flame Gathering can be said to be a necessary skill for every alchemist, especially the production of magic weapons, which is different from ordinary magic arrays, because it is a magic array that is engraved on a hard metal surface, so only the use of flame gathering can melt the metal on the surface of the weapon, but without destroying the internal structure of the weapon, so that it is possible to depict the magic array on the weapon.
Flame Gathering is actually to condense the fireball technique, so as to generate more heat in a smaller volume, in order to achieve the purpose of melting part of the metal, the same fireball, the better the flame gathering technique, the smaller the volume of the condensed fireball, the higher the temperature. The smaller the volume, the smaller the area occupied by the magic array depicted, and the more and more complex the magic array can be carved with the same area.
The better the Flame Gathering technique is used, the more complete, detailed, and complex the magic array carved into the metal will be, and the more powerful it will be to exert the power of magical energy.
Therefore, when Allen revealed this unique skill of gathering flames, the shopkeeper, who was originally skeptical, immediately believed it.
The next step was to haggle and eventually reach a partnership agreement, in which for the next month, Alan would make magic weapons for the store, and the boss would be responsible for the sales, and the gold obtained would be deducted from the cost, and then split fifty-fifty.
That night, Alan went back to the hotel and had a good night's rest, the next day, he came to Sterling's house first, his arrival surprised Isha, Captain Havech had told her yesterday that Alan was going to stay here for a while to help them, at the time she thought it was just a joke, but she didn't expect Alan to really visit today, and told herself that he was currently working in a large weapons shop in the center of town, and that no matter what happened, he could be found in the shop during the day and at the hotel at night.
During the whole communication process, Alan never said anything to help her, so that she couldn't say what she wanted to persuade.
Alan left after finishing his words at the door, and he didn't even enter the house, he didn't want to be scolded by the two little families again.
The next day, Alan arrived at the weapons store on time to report and officially got to work. The boss arranged an independent and sturdy house for him to use for alchemy, and the reason why he chose an independent and sturdy house was because alchemy was a dangerous thing, and there might be an explosion, fire, or something. So the boss decided to be careful anyway.
After the initial attempts, Eren almost forgot to sleep and eat, and only two days later made his first magic greatsword, using a Wind Wolf Demon Core.
When the magic weapon was handed to the boss, the boss's face bloomed, and he immediately found someone to test it, but the test results made the boss's smile turn back into flowers.
The Wind Blade magic trigger of the Magic Greatsword is a bit sluggish, and it can't do whatever it wants, and even the power of the Wind Blade launched is far less than half as expected.
As a result, Alan fell into thought, and he studied his work repeatedly, and finally he locked the problem on the portrayal of the magic circle.
Because as a magic weapon, when choosing the weapon body, you will generally choose a good material, that is, it has been forged.
Due to the fact that there will be a large number of forging patterns in the forging process of metal, and these forging patterns will affect the effect of Allen's use of Flame Gathering to depict the magic array runes, and some runes will even be deformed and broken because of this, in short, it will greatly affect the casting effect of the magic array.
For this reason, Eren decided to find a dwarf master who is good at forging to ask for forging-related techniques, so that he can have the ability to solve the problem of magic array carving caused by forging.
Alan told his boss Aple about his idea, and the boss Aple was actually more anxious than Alan, and when he heard about Aille's idea, of course, he strongly supported it, and he told Alan that there was a forge in the back mountain not far from Iron Pine Town, and there was a dwarven master in it.
So, Eren decided to go to the weapon forge and ask the dwarven forge master about the forging in person, but before leaving, Alan still had to make some preparations, because the boss Aple told him that the dwarf masters generally have strange personalities and are difficult to deal with, and if he dares to find them, he is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve his goal.
