"Really...... Anyway, I definitely won't drop the equipment, so let's take a look. ”

Xia walked over to the pile of wreckage and tapped it twice with the tip of his sword, but found nothing.

"Fei Nanxi, when did you learn to deceive people......

She was just about to complain, when suddenly countless tiny white rays of light escaped from the remains of the puppet, gradually converging at a point in the air, and finally condensed into a large piece of bright white gem.

"Moonstone?"

Natsu reached under the gem with a hand and pulled the suspended moonstone down.

"This one is about one-third the size needed to fuse the sunstone."

She mentally estimated the value of the gem in her hand:

"In other words, 3 pieces of this thing can be turned into a sunstone, which is much more cost-effective than fighting monsters every day to collect small moonstones."

In total, it takes them no more than 2 hours to destroy a puppet, while it takes several days to collect a sunstone, although it is much more dangerous to fight a puppet, but at the same time, the benefits are also several times higher.

"I killed one of these guys and learned its secrets."

"But because it took too long, I didn't choose to cultivate here for a long time, but went directly to it with the black spirit."

The lich looked at the stone in Natsu's hand and said:

"At that time, apart from feeling that I had become stronger, there were no treasures; I'm guessing if you'll make it drop gems when you come, but now it seems like I'm right, it's enough to enchant your gear more than 10 times. ”

"Enchanting 10 times is not very useful, the cost is disproportionate to the income."

Xia looked at the two-handed sword in his hand, this kind of New World native weapon obtained from the ruins only cost 2 small pieces of moonstone for the third enchantment (the first and second times must be successful, so there is no need to consume), the fourth time is 4 pieces, and the fifth time is 8 pieces...... It's a direct doubling every time!

But the cost is doubled, but the attributes are not added much. Or rarely...... This doesn't make any sense at all, and it might as well be used for upgrades.

"Fei Nanxi, I have other uses for this kind of stone......

She came up with an excuse to try to get the lich not to waste the precious experience stone, but the lich agreed, but made a request.

"While everyone is resting. We can do some in-depth experiments. ”

The lich returns from the dense crowd of puppets and takes Natsu to a remote corner.

"I wonder what happens if you enchant this stone more than ten times."

The lich said to her:

"The equipment itself should have an upper limit on enchantments, but what may happen with the right materials, we'd better experiment with it, don't be afraid of spending, magic research itself is a huge cost."

"Okay."

Although Xia was a little reluctant, the experience and knowledge of the lich were above him, and since he said so. There must be quite a basis.

"Erin, bring the stuff."

She called Erin here, asked her to take out the enchanting machine and put it on the ground, and personally put an ordinary dagger on the enchanting machine.

Junk props require much less enchantment materials, and since this is an experiment, it is natural to use the most basic things at first.

"Smack!"

As a result, after the seventh enchantment, the dagger shattered.

"The quality is too low."

The lich shook his head and said:

"Items that are too inferior can't withstand so many enchantments, so it's better to replace them with better ones."

“…… Then use this. ”

Xia put a handle with good attributes. But the big sword that had been eliminated by her put it up.

"Look, master! There is an extra value in the message bar. ”

The little Lori in black has been observing the changes in the system. Point to an extra entry in the greatsword's attributes.

"The double-edged sword of greed"

"--Level Requirements: LV35, Quality: Rare (Maximum number of enchantments: 9 times)"

"This item appeared after the dagger was broken just now, it should have triggered the hidden condition, master."

"What's wrong, mate?"

The lich thought she was taking pity on the sword:

"If you think this sword is still useful to you, then change it."

"No, it's fine. Just use this one. ”

Xia shook his head slightly and put the sword up.

Something suddenly remembered in her mind:

When the enchantment machine was used to enhance the weapon, the last thing that remained was often a high-quality product, so wasn't it all because of bad luck that those failed in enchantment, but because they reached the upper limit of enchantment?

"It's the 9th time."

After consuming a large piece of moonstone. The double-edged sword was raised to +9, and Natsu looked up and said to the lich:

"I have a hunch...... If it goes on like this, it will shatter like that dagger. ”

"Let me see."

The lich took the sword, took it in his hand and examined it carefully for a moment, and said in amazement:

"How do you see that? Even I had to watch for a long time to confirm this, and you can tell that it has reached its limit just by feeling? ”

"My hunch is sometimes accurate, sometimes not...... This time it must have been a coincidence. ”

Xia Tu replied.

"Get out of our unfinished Supreme Artifact."

The lich held out his hand to her:

"From my point of view, strictly speaking, the weapon forging level of this continent is not very high, since this thing can go through 9 enchantments intact, then the artifact-level weapons of the Faense Continent will definitely have more and better growth."

"You have to stop in moderation, if this sword breaks, we don't have any alternative materials to make another one."

Xia found that as soon as the lich was contaminated with the two realms of magic and forging, it would become extremely fanatical, and it would be too late to cry if he couldn't think of destroying the artifact sword for a while.

"Haha, don't worry, I love precious experimental materials very much, and I will never do anything stupid."

The lich's hand still didn't retract.

"Master, this sword has also changed!"

The black-clothed little Lori shouted as she looked at the long sword's message.

"Longsword: ???"

- Level requires LV0, quality: ??? (Enchantable Cap: Unknown)"

"Oh my God, don't you dare to be so pitiful."

Xia's heart tightened suddenly:

This [unknown] may represent that there is no upper limit, but it may also be that it is not as good as a junk weapon, do you dare to try?

"Wait!"

Natsu watched in horror as the lich enchanted a few times. In the end, I couldn't help but call a timeout:

"Fei Nanxi, I'm a little unpredictable about this sword."

She hesitated for a moment and used an ambiguous word:

"I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous if it goes on like this......"

"No, I'm confident in what I've made."

The lich grabbed the moonstone that the little loli had piled up on the ground and stuffed it into the enchantment machine:

"Don't forget what materials we're using, fragments of the Holy Sword and sealed artifacts of unknown origin. How could the Hörman's enchantment machine have the ability to destroy both of these things? ”

“…… So to speak. ”

Natsu didn't stop it from continuing to enchant.

By the 10th time, there was a serious problem.

"Not enough moonstone?"

She asked, surprised.

"The cost of this sword is much larger than that of other weapons, and only a small piece is enough in the beginning, but now."

The lich placed the largest stone in Natsu's inventory, and the enchantment machine glowed white at all.

"Then take a break for a while, and we'll continue to play puppets for a while."

Natsu found a place to sit down and began to regain his strength.

She's not the type who can afford to put it down, as long as she decides, she must figure it out, otherwise she will give up halfway. Wasn't the previous moonstone wasted?

"But it's a matter of experience that can be upgraded to many levels...... It's still a little bit extravagant. ”

She closed her eyes and was ready to sleep here.

When I woke up, I found that I had a few small heads lying on my body.

Two young bat girls were resting their heads on her waist, looking like they were asleep; Polly, the little catwoman, nestled in her warm arms, twisting her body from time to time, as if she was having nightmares.

And just when Xia tried to sit up quietly, he turned his head and found that two dark eyes without the whites of his eyes were staring at him. It almost touched her face.

"Wow-ahh

Natsu jumped out of bed in fright.

"Meow!"

The little catwoman was also so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she screamed and ran out of her arms.

The two young girls were not so sharp. They were thrown into the sky, but fortunately, Xia reacted quickly and caught them, otherwise they would have to fall to the ground.

"Gollum ......"

The brunette muttered and hugged her and fell back asleep.

The white-haired young girl had her eyes wide open, not knowing when she was being hugged and looked a little panicked.

"Gladys. You scared me to death. ”

Xia saw the spider beauty lying on her side on the ground, and she had been staring at herself silently just now.

“――”

Gladys got up from the ground, threw herself between the two young girls and threw herself into her arms, rubbing gently against her.

“…… Isn't this coquettish? ”

Natsu thought that her body was a huge spider, and it always felt a little strange to hold her like this.

"Don't hug around there. Hurry up and get to work. ”

Wendy, whose eyes were shining red, walked over, crossed her arms and said:

"That puppet seems to contain something in it, it's good for my injuries, we'd better kill more."

"Really?"

Her injury has always been a problem for Xia's heart, and she immediately cheered up when she heard this.

……

"Crackling...... Bang!! ”

With the efforts of everyone, another puppet exploded, and the scarred Black Spirit Knight retreated according to Xia's instructions.

"This is already the twelfth."

Albernar wiped the sweat from his head, this time he was also on the front line, successfully withstanding several attacks of the puppets, but he also understood how much pressure the black spirits were on.

With such a fierce attack, he could only last a few minutes at most.

"There are only thirteen of them, which seems like a lot at first."

Natsu looked at the last puppet that was still on alert, walked to the shards on the ground and retrieved a moonstone.

"Let's get started."

She said to the lich:

"I've finally got enough materials for the 11th enchantment, so let's take a look...... What the hell can this sword become? (To be continued......)
