Chapter 7: Forging and Spell Books

【Craft (Forging)+1】

After a little glance at the hint that had just flashed, Lu Yuan placed the long sword in his hand that had just been equipped with the hilt of the sword and the other seven swords.

After becoming an official assistant, Habasser? Delin was finally interested in listening to him, limited to 20 words, of course. So Lu Yuan picked up the hammer, clanked and built three long swords, and then picked one and handed it to Habasser? Delin, and said to him, "This is what I'm good at." Then Lu Yuan changed from a potion assistant to a forging assistant. At that time, Lu Yuan's forging process was level 14, which could create qualified military weapons, and occasionally excellent quality weapons.

[Longsword (Excellent Quality): Usually includes a sword with two sides open, a combat sword, or a military sword. Sometimes the sword may only have one side of the blade. There is no uniform specification for the so-called longsword, and its form varies according to culture or region. The most common feature of a longsword is its length, which usually ranges from thirty-five to forty-seven inches, with the blade usually taking up nearly forty inches in the latter's case. Most swords are two-sided and sharp-edged. However, this sword is still suitable for slashing, not stabbing.

Facts:

DAMAGE: 1D8+1

Damage Type: Slash

Weight: 4 lbs

Weapon Category: Longsword

Type: One-handed】

From the data point of view, the damage of the excellent quality longsword is just a little more than that of the ordinary longsword. In essence, it is sharper, tougher, and more balanced than ordinary longswords. Such swords are easier to use, require less effort, last longer, and are sharper. It is the first choice for mercenaries who can't afford magic weapons, and if you get a high-quality weapon, you will cherish it as a family heirloom.

After saving enough money, many mercenaries will choose to enchant the weapons they have at their disposal and strengthen them into magic weapons.

Lu Yuan handed it over to Habaser at that time? Delin's is such a long sword, and after being enchanted and decorated well, such a weapon can be sold for a hundred times the price. For a long time afterward, he went to Habaser except late at night? Archmage Delin studied in the library, and spent most of his time in the blacksmith's room. In half a year, after he integrated some of the knowledge he had gained in his previous life, the forging process was continuously improved by three levels.

After forging countless daggers, short swords, rapiers, long swords, half-hand swords, and two-handed greatswords, he finally created a longsword of excellent quality. Such a long sword can even be compared to a +1 magic weapon in terms of stats, and in terms of overall quality, a +1 magic weapon is far behind. Among magic weapons, there are often "freaks" created by mages, which are powerful but difficult to use, and it is not surprising to hurt themselves.

Crafting high-quality weapons has also improved his forging process to level 17, and now he has a high success rate in crafting some xenoweapons like katanas, giant scythes, etc., and can craft metal armor, which is a small leap. When it comes to building weapons, his training has basically come to a relative end, and it's hard to progress. So Lu Yuan was ready to move on to making armor.

The quality of weapons can be divided into five levels: Rough (decreased quality), Normal (no change in stats), Excellent (increased damage), Fine (increased damage, hits), and Excellent (extremely handy). Basically, Superior is the highest quality of a general-purpose weapon, and Superior Quality is only applicable to specialized weapons that are designed according to hand size, weight, strength, habits, etc. Such a weapon can exert great power in the hands of its specialists. Another way to improve your weapons is to use better materials, such as black steel, mythril, pure gold, and the alloys that Lu Yuan knows about the road, etc., which Lu Yuan does not have.

After moving away from the work of alchemical potions, which harmed his health, he felt that his body was visibly healthy. Although weapons also have enchantment work, that is something that only formal mages can do. "Weapon Enchantment" requires a first-level and second-level mage who has mastered one-ring spells, and three-ring spells such as "Advanced Weapon Enchantment" and "Sharp Edge" require a fifth-level or higher mage to cast, which has nothing to do with a small magic apprentice like him. All he had to do was make a lot of high-quality weapons, and then look at the mages who were aging prematurely because of the enchantment.

In any case, the opportunity to study in the library every day is the most precious.

He won't forget what's most important.

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

"Check this out, surprise guaranteed!" Nicholas carefully pulled out a large cloth bag and placed it on the table. This is Lu Yuan's attic, since Lu Yuan no longer lives here, this has become a black den for Lu Yuan and Nicholas to trade, and sometimes his sister "Black Lily" will also appear. The price of the weapons built by Lu Yuan on the black market is several times the normal price, and it is difficult to find a ticket.

After Lu Yuan analyzed the recipe for the king of thieves' elixir, their business became bigger and bigger. Therefore, Lu Yuan will also buy some precious items through them, those things that will never be accessible from normal channels. For example, the dark green hard leather that Nicholas unfolded in front of him, the neck skin of the pterosaur. This magical wurm is eight feet long from head to tail and is the product of a cross between a dragon and a snake man. It spews poisonous gas like a dragon, and its vestigial wings can glide for a short time; It also has the ability to cast several types of spells. Of course, its main mode of combat is hand-to-hand combat. Although the challenge level of this wurm is not high, encountering a group of pterodactyls is definitely a catastrophe.

"Pterodactyl!" Lu Yuan looked at the well-preserved leather and sighed with surprise.

"yes, as far as I know, that's a big guy who's almost 20 feet! A whole team of people died for it, and it took me a lot of money to get it for you. Not surprisingly, Nicholas took every opportunity to raise prices.

"Come on, Nicholas. This time it's a good thing, but it's an eight-foot-long little guy. If you encounter a giant winged snake dragon that is almost 20 feet, I guarantee that no one will come back alive, so it is better to kill it than to slay the dragon. Now let's talk about the price. ”

After some exchanges, Lu Yuan bought this four-foot square wurm skin at a price of 2,000 gold coins per foot. After Nicholas returned to the laboratory, he began to test the performance of leather with various reagents. There was definitely something wrong with the origin of this piece of leather, and Nicholas didn't know how to get it, but it was certain that it had nothing to do with the hunting process. Therefore, he only knew the general situation of the Dao, but ignored the essential problem. After Lu Yuan's forging process is level 12, his ability to distinguish and analyze materials has been greatly enhanced. At that time, he felt that something was wrong, and directly hid the abnormal situation.

After analyzing it with a magic reagent, he finally determined that this was the neck skin of the cherished subspecies of the pterosaur, the psionic pterodactyl, and that magical items made from this leather would have some very rare effects.

Lu Yuan soaked the leather in the alchemy solution for a full week before the layers of the leather were completely separated. After peeling off the dark green cuticle, layers of silk-like smooth and tender white leather are revealed, as thin as cicada wings, and divided into more than a dozen layers of white translucent leather of the same size. After drying and nitrating, it becomes a pure white cotton paper, but it is harder than the face, and the material is so tough that it cannot be torn apart by ordinary force. Lu Yuan cut it into a one-foot-square piece of paper, a total of two hundred and thirty-three pages.

The cuticle of the neck of the heavy pterosaurus is made of multiple layers and inlaid with brass rivets to make a thick and hard book cover, and the spine has a leather strap tied around the waist. The dark green cover is set with scales in the shape of a snake's head, and the snake's eyes are two tiny emerald gemstones. After the pages were bound, please Habashur? Delin cast the spell of "Spell Book Making". This spell is not available at a high level, but the caster level determines the final effect of the spell.

Even Habashar? Delin was also full of praise for the spell book he produced.

When he returned to his laboratory and used the treasured "Identification" scroll to identify it, the spell book began to grow deeper and darker, and it looked a little sinister.

["The Dark Serpent": Lu Yuan's spell book

Lu Yuan used the neck leather of the psionic winged snake dragon to elaborate a spell book. Habasser? Archmage Delin casts a spell that fully unleashes the book's abilities. The book has a total of 233 pages, and its ability to record is mediocre.

Special Abilities:

Tenacity: The tenacity of this book is close to that of an iron shield.

Mana Nourishment: The leather of magical creatures can automatically absorb free mana, and the book can effectively preserve magic scrolls. and allows the "Dark Spell" to be cast once a day.

Resistance Enhancement: The wearer has a 30% chance of being immune to poisoning, and is immune to the immobilization effects of "Human Immobilization" and "Cobwebs". 】

Lu Yuan tied the "Dark Snake" to his belt and walked a few steps, then took it down and tied it to his left upper arm and made a few blocking movements. The hardness of this book can be used as an arm shield, it is really a strange magic book. Fortunately, the attributes are very powerful, especially the immunity fixation, which can play its unexpected effect in battle.

With the magic book, Lu Yuan could finally start transcribing the spells recorded in the library. Universal spells below the third ring are not difficult to obtain in the Hakudomen area, and even war spells such as the "Fireball Technique" are widely used in large quantities. So in Habashar? In Archmage Delin's library, Lu Yuan quickly collected all the general spells below the three rings, and also found a scroll of the four-ring spell "Roaring Technique" in an old book that lost nearly half of its magic power. He carefully tucked the Roar into the spellbook, nourishing it with the magic of the book, hoping that one day he could transcribe or use it.
