"Do you know the way? There's a monster in the mine! ”

Lu Yuan, who was strolling around the market, inadvertently heard such a message.

"Is the plot about to begin?" Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

He came to the trade area today, but he came to buy fire-based magic materials. The fireball spell staff, which came from the burrowing worm cave, could store fifty fireball spells in advance, but that one was obviously used, and now there were only about seven fireballs in it. Lu Yuan bought fire-based magic materials just to charge it.

After a big turn, I bought a feather on the tail of a firebird.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yuan also sold those trial-made "handicraft weapons", including a few katanas, at a good price, after all, they are all of refined quality.

"Has the output of the iron ore been affected?"

"I don't know if it's true, it shouldn't be. There was no change in the ore shipped to the north this month. ”

"Oh, thank you", the production has not been affected yet, and it seems that it will take some time for things to ferment. When I took a look, I saw a bunch of white silk threads on the side of the stall, and I couldn't help but lean over to look at it curiously, "What is this?" Silk? ”

If you look closely, this white color is more like animal hair, but the roots are soft and refreshing, even if you rub it with your hands, it will not be twisted together with other silk threads.

"That's the unicorn's mane," replied the stall owner listlessly, thinking he was looking for someone to grind again. "It's for bowstrings."

Although it is said to be a mane, it is actually taken from the tail to have such a long hair.

"Oh", as soon as he heard the bowstring, Lu Yuan was interested. "How much is this bunch? How long can you make a bowstring? I see that this long hair can't be twisted with my hands, can I make a bowstring? ”

"If you buy it, let's go ahead. If you don't buy it, then please do it first. The stall owner said politely.

"Come on, don't be angry, I'm really interested in buying it. Tell me about it first. ”

"This mane is not naturally entangled in one place. To make a bowstring, you also need to find the silk sac mucus of a giant poisonous spider to wrap it into a bowstring. With such a bunch of manes, your stature is probably enough for two bowstrings, just enough. This bundle costs 1,100 gold coins to take. ”

"Yitu" refers to the length of the two arms after being straightened left and right, and the local man-made longbow, the bowstring is basically the length of the user's own "Yitu" after counting the margin. Usually the bowstring is one main and one standby, and it is used alternately.

Lu Yuan wanted to take down these manes, but he immediately shook off his three-inch tongue, and after a while, he finally won it at a price of 200 gold coins and a few gems, totaling about 900 gold coins, and by the way, he also came with a "bowstring method book", and patted his hand on the book, only to see a flash of golden light - the money fell.

Mei Zizi took her things back to the workshop, but what she was thinking about was making crossbows.

After graduating from college, he played with hunting crossbows for a while, but later the weapons above 20 joules in the country were not allowed to be used, so he gave up. Now that I think about it, in the world of Bode, although the crossbows seen on the market are excellent, and some of them are magically enhanced, they actually rely on the force of the crossbow arm and bowstring to fire arrows, which is 16 times different from the firing power that is commonly used in modern crossbows and bows optimized by torque conversion wheels! Yes, just a measurable and quantifiable number.

Under the same conditions, a crossbow equipped with a double torque wheel only needs one-eighth of the force to be wound, but the force of the crossbow is eight times that of a normal crossbow!

That's a big gap.

Attach two thin steel sheets, one long and one short, together and fix them well. This is a crossbow arm made of two soft and hard steel ingots, and when the two are fitted together, they can emit an amazing elasticity. The whole bow arm is strong, tough, and foldable, with the only flaw being a slight weight.

Now he has mild steel in his hand to make crossbow arms; The torque conversion wheel made of carbon material can be replaced by the snow wolf skull bought in the market, which is believed to be the same lightweight, wear-resistant and tough; The bow can be made of ordinary good wood; Other small parts such as triggers and lookouts are not difficult to make, and if you calculate it, it will be the poisonous spider silk sac that binds the bowstring.

This thing may be found in Belgoust in the north now!

*******************************

Spell wands are crafted from specific materials and store wands for specific spells.

For example, the lightning staff is made of atmospheric magic materials and a blank staff, and then the "lightning spell" is constructed, and up to 50 identical magic prototypes can be constructed in the wand, and when charged, a "lightning staff" that can fire 50 lightning spells is formed.

Making spell staff can be a lot of trouble.

In addition to consuming a large amount of precious materials, it is also necessary to give up a small part of the life force as in the case of magical items. This secret was not clear to Lu Yuan, and if it weren't for the system's prompt information, he might not find out until his body was seriously damaged. Which made him immediately against Habashar? Delin's impression was a few points worse.

The witchcraft grocery store employs so many mages for production, but it's Habashar? Delin's own work is scarce. Lu Yuan originally thought it was Habasser? In order to maintain the value of his work, Delin controlled the production. Now that I think about it, apparently Habasser? Delin knew this secret, so he passed on the cost of producing magical items to others. Those mages took high commissions, but they didn't know that this was in exchange for life force. Even if one day they find themselves starting to weaken, Habashar? Delin can also be explained as a result of frequent exposure to alchemical potions.

It's like a worker working at a nuclear power plant, and the boss tells you that the discomfort is caused by mild radiation, which is credible, isn't it? Or it can also be caused by over-casting, mages in this world are generally in poor health, and the damage to the body caused by over-casting and arcane power is considered to be the culprit.

So, this off Habasser? What's the matter with Delin?

Even if a spell staff can be charged with fifty spells, it will eventually run out of one day, which will need to be recharged again. The staff is like a battery, the internal structure has been completed, and after the power is consumed, it can be fully charged. In the Witchcraft Grocery Store, recharging the staff is the job of the apprentice, and the Witchcraft Grocery Store has its own recipe for this.

For example, the Fireball Staff requires a mage who has mastered the three rings to cast it, so it also requires a mage of level 5 or higher to recharge. And Habashar? Delin has invented a way to reduce the required cast level by consuming magic materials and performing subcharges. In the case of the Fireball Staff, for example, it can be recharged by consuming fire-based materials with an apprentice who has only mastered the Zero Ring. It's just a fireball spell staff worth a full fifty rounds, and it can be charged up to twenty to thirty, so it's called a subcharge.

This makes sense for large-scale munitions. Habasser? Delin is indeed a master of alchemy.

The fiery red feather in front of him faded a little, and Lu Yuan consumed all of today's spell slots to charge the fireball spell staff. After stopping and checking, the fireball technique, which originally only had six rounds left, had risen to twenty-three, and there was still a third of the room left.

When stopped, the brain becomes woody, which is also a sign of overcast.

A mage who has not been trained in combat can actually only withstand two-thirds of the amount of spells cast, which is two-thirds of the spells he prepares every day. If all of them are cast, the mage may faint on the spot or collapse to the ground with a weak body. Not only is this situation very troublesome to recover from, but it is also widely believed by mages to be physically damaging.

Therefore, in addition to going out on adventures, mages rarely prepare all spell slots, usually two-thirds.

Lu Yuan experimented many times to completely cast the spell, and in addition to the fact that it was troublesome to recover, the system did not indicate that his body was damaged. That's why he dared to do it.

Lu Yuan lay on the chair to regain his spirits.

The three twisted and wide leaves driven by the spell floated strangely on Lu Yuan's side and rotated rapidly, blowing a pleasant cool breeze. A paper airplane flapped its wings and flew around the head of the lander, whose eyes were slightly closed, and made a birdsong of "chirping".

"Meow~", a little black cat flickered on Lu Yuan's chest, and its paws stepped on his clothes.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and reached out, scratched the kitten's neck a few times, and then took out Twilight's letter from the collar. Because of Twilight's deliberate concealment, Lu Yuan didn't know about the existence of Ah Fu's father, and Nini was responsible for delivering letters back and forth.

Twilight notes her lovesickness in the letter, which mentions that there are many goblin colonies in the Cloaked Forest, and that she is currently tracing the root cause of the goblin migration.

Lu Yuan thought about it, Shaflock should have started his plot to usurp the supreme power of Baldur's Gate. Part of this conspiracy was to pollute the iron ore mines of Nasikai and cause an iron ore crisis. The other part is the secret exploitation of iron ore inside the Cloak Forest, in order to monopolize the arms trade at Baldur's Gate. Later, he provoked the war crisis between Baldur's Gate and Am, and then ascended to the throne of the Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate by manipulating the arms trade and assassinating dignitaries.

The goblin tribe mentioned by Twilight is probably one of the mercenaries of Safflok who controls the iron ore of the Cloak Forest. In Shaflock's plan, a large number of kobolds, goblins, ogres and other evil races are used, which just shows that he has the support of the Baal Temple. He writes his assumptions in the letter, and suggests that Twilight can organize his men to scout around the iron mine where they last ventured, and it will be rewarding.

After thinking about it, he handed the letter and the paper airplane to Nini and asked her to take it with her.

"Meow~"

Nini's aggrieved cry interrupted Lu Yuan's thoughts.

"What's wrong? Nini. ”

Lu Yuan said, hugged the aggrieved little black cat into his arms, and rubbed her delicate and soft hair with his fingers.

Nini was comfortable for a while, and then opened the collar with a meow, showing him the empty interior space, her eyes flashing, and she looked at him aggrievedly.

Lu Yuan thought for a while before he came to his senses, a large cup of ice cream and a dozen fried fish that had been stored in the morning were gone, how could you grab Nini's food...... Lu Yuan's head was full of black lines.

At this time, the distant cloak forest.

Among the dense branches of the tree, Twilight Star is wearing the "Forest Dance Steps", sitting on a large tree branch with her legs swinging, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she is happily eating a cup of ice cream.

A paper airplane is flying around the twilight star by itself, and at the same time, "I love you" sung by Li Hongqi in "East Becomes West".

"I love you, I love you, I love you~"

There is also a black cat squatting on the side, enjoying the fried fish on the leaves in an elegant posture.

"What is he doing?" Twilight asked.

The black cat closed his eyes for a while, then replied, "I'm making new ice cream for Nini," and glanced at the owner who snatched Nini's ice cream with disdain.

"Damn! He hadn't ever made me anything like this before! Ah, Ah Fu, don't be angry, children will have a bad stomach if they eat cold food, so I'm going to help. ”

"And~"
