Chapter 77: The First Space Equipment
The good guys Ethan and Arthur stayed in this sea for quite some time, and Ethan observed how a floating island slowly disappeared from this world.
"It's a pity that I didn't see the magical gesture of an island growing with plants from nothing. ”
After all, the island was still affected by the powerful force of death, and even if the power of death dissipated, no vegetation grew later, only the ubiquitous black earth and stones, and three days after the dark power dissipated, it began to shake violently and sink towards the sea level.
"It seems that the relationship between the magic stone and these floating islands is a little different from what we understood before. ”
In the past, people on the calm sea generally believed that the magic stone was a certain ore produced on the floating and sinking island, and there were some places and some places did not, and there was no inevitable connection between the floating and sinking island itself and the magic stone.
From the guild, Ethan learns that most of the islands can actually find magic stones.
In light of what he has seen today, Ethan begins to suspect that the relationship between the island and the magic stone may be the opposite of what everyone thinks.
Ethan, who had driven the Dawning Goddess back a long distance to avoid being affected by the sinking of the island, had long since lost sight of anything, and just stood quietly on the stern of the ship thinking about his own affairs.
In addition to the relationship between the island and the magic stone, Wilson's use of the magic stone also gave him a rough guess about the combat power of the new sea.
"With Wilson's strength, he needs to obey the orders of others, and he has worked hard to come back here from the bottom of the sea to do this kind of recruitment of miscellaneous soldiers, and it is conceivable that Mr. Beckford's strength must be able to crush Wilson. ”
Otherwise, Wilson would not have left alone with a powerful magic stone so casually, and Beckford was not at all worried about this subordinate defecting...... No matter how you think about it, Wilson doesn't look like one of those loyal subordinates. ”
It's not that Ethan looks down on this guy, just from Wilson's previous performance, it is obvious that he is a guy with a low IQ, and no one can see anyone if he has a little strength, and such a guy can only rely on strong strength to suppress him, so that he does not dare to raise the slightest rebellion to use it with confidence.
If you speculate like this, Beckford's strength is terrifying.
"Using the known information to reason, Beckford must have a magic stone that is more powerful than this death magic stone, and in the use of the magic stone's power, it is far superior to Wilson's half-ass. ”
Wilson's ability to use death energy to gather bones and transform them into armor is unknown to other magic stones.
Even if the other magic stones don't have the ability to create a pair of armor out of thin air, simply spreading energy around the body to form a defensive barrier is enough to give people a headache.
Thinking of this, Ethan remembered Brent, as an adventurer with a certain reputation in the new sea, Brent also had a very high-quality magic stone, although the previous battle only showed a little edge, Ethan still realized the energy contained in that magic stone.
At that time, if Brent used this trick, how should he deal with it? The piece in Brent's hand was not a death stone, and he couldn't rely on the attribute of energy to restrain himself to take advantage. Moreover, Brent is obviously higher in the use of magic stone energy, and Wilson doesn't know how many levels. If you look at it this way, Brent actually let go of the water in that battle.
"Tsk, it's really a good person like the Virgin, and he can still make a move to release water in the face of an opponent with murderous intentions. Ethan now inexplicably feels a little unhappy, feeling that he is being underestimated.
Shaking his head and shaking these things out of his mind, Ethan looked at Arthur, and together they hoisted the sails of the Aurora and set off in any direction.
Sailing on the calm seas is always boring when there is no goal, but Ethan has a lot of loot from the islands this time, and he has a lot to do.
The first is the placement of the Death Stone.
This magic stone contains powerful death energy, and what is even more deadly is that this energy is not easy to control. The magic stone will release this uncontrolled negative attribute energy anytime and anywhere, and if he is exposed to this environment for a long time, Ethan will become an undead creature sooner or later.
In the past, the magic stone was wrapped in clay and sealed magic, but it was only a temporary treatment in a hurry, and it could not be maintained for a long time.
Unless Ethan returns to Stater Island now and gives the stone to the guild to dispose of, he must find something safer to store the stone.
For this reason, Ethan spent the next few days in his room tinkering, leaving the task of maneuvering the ship entirely to Arthur, and did not tell him where to go, just let him wander around the sea.
Now, until these problems are solved, they are not suitable to find islands or space-time energy.
It had been five days before Ethan came out of the room, dragging a small box that looked like an ordinary box.
"It's just a normal box. ”
Ethan played with four or five boxes of stuff, and in the end this one really worked.
"He has no other function, only to absorb and transform the energy emitted by the magic stone, and then turn it into pure magic and store it here. ”
Ethan pointed to the strange metal bottle attached to the box, which was not pretty, and looked no different from a preschooler's manual work.
"Your level of production...... There is an urgent need to improve. ”
Ethan was also a little embarrassed, because he was in a hurry, he really didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the items, but he still felt a little ashamed to be so ugly.
"Thank you for the suggestion, this course has been included in my schedule. ”
He will need to craft various items and equipment in the future, and he really needs to strengthen his forging level. He now feels that it is a pity that he did not learn some basics from Chasi, even if he just audited some, it is better than relying on his own exploration now.
"So what is the use of all this stored energy?"
"It's not of much use for the time being, I can only replenish the lost energy for my two bracers and the Book of Inheritance. ”
After all, this box was made in a hurry, and the conversion effect and utilization rate of energy were very poor, and most of them were wasted. It's just that the energy of the death magic stone is too powerful, and Ethan uses the energy released by this magic stone to urge this series of magic arrays, and then uses its own energy to refine and transform the excess energy released by itself, so the usable energy obtained in the end is just that.
In the final analysis, the main purpose of making this box is to prevent the magic stone from harming itself and others, and this appearance is enough for now.
After getting the Death Stone, Ethan next set his sights on the mass of spatial energy.
This mass of energy could not be absorbed by his own space-time hand, and Ethan kept it in a cigar crumb. This was also a temporary emergency measure, and after returning to the ship to spare time, Ethan switched to something else to store the space energy.
Different from space-time energy, this space energy is more pure in attributes, but it is also more difficult to be used by Ethan, after more than ten days of research, Ethan found that he could only use this energy simply and rudely, using its own characteristics to make some simple magic equipment.
Ethan didn't use it much, just used it to strengthen both belts.
"Space folding. ”
Ethan shows Arthur the new piece, which is not as ugly as the previous one because it is made with an existing belt.
"These places that were originally used to place medicines, magazines and other items have been expanded several times by this energy expansion, so more items of the same volume can be stored. ”
"Same volume?"
Arthur got to the point at once.
"Yes, the same volume. ”
Ethan took a dagger and shoved it into a socket that could fit into a magazine, but it couldn't fit in because of its size.
"That's it. ”
Arthur nodded, it was this place that was originally put something, and now although the internal space has been expanded, the entrance and exit are still like that, and it is not possible to put something bigger in it.
"How many more?"
"I probably experimented with it, and without using too much energy, I can now fit five of the same items in each position on this belt. ”
The original position of placing one magazine can now be placed five, which is actually a large increase, because there are many sockets on this belt, and in addition to being able to put magazines, you can also put many small items, such as Ethan's usual cigarettes and cigars.
"I'll make do with this thing for now, and when I get a little more into this mass of energy, I can completely make a piece of space equipment for storing items. ”
Arthur was still playing with his belt, which he thought was actually very good, and it wouldn't get in the way of being able to carry more life-saving items during the battle.
Anyway, he mainly relied on the long sword in his hand to fight, and he was very satisfied with being able to carry some more life-saving medicine on his belt.
"In that case, it seems like you can make some potions?"
"Yes. ”
Ethan chose to make cigarettes instead of potions, except that he didn't want to hold a kettle to drink all day long, but the potion was inconvenient to carry. Large amounts of potions can be a heavy action load, and they can be easily damaged in battle.
Now with this belt, you can avoid a lot of trouble, and you don't have to worry about the potions stored in the space being destroyed in battle.
In fact, the inspiration for this belt actually comes from the setting in the game Dark. Ethan had been wanting to get a similar piece of space gear for a long time.
Now that he finally has a piece of space gear, and he has made it himself with his own hands, he is even more excited than finding a top-of-the-line storage gear.
"Although there are many shortcomings, this is at least a good start, and I believe that I can make better equipment in the near future. ”
