Chapter 51: Refining Enchanted Leather Armor

Once a month for long-distance trade, Tang En and the others will send enough professionals to suppress the formation, and each time they go out, there are more than three professionals.

Don would follow the caravan most of the time, and in the six trades that lasted for more than half a year, Don left five times, and the remaining one was Lucia's suppression.

During this half year, they encountered four magical beasts, three of which managed to obtain loot.

But the fourth time was unlucky, although they managed to kill a petrified lizard, but they encountered a swarm of petrified lizards. Faced with the attack of dozens of petrified lizards, Lucia could only flee with her mercenaries in confusion.

Fortunately, Lucia herself is a priest and can directly provide rescue, and the petrified lizard is a very lazy magical beast, so the mercenary team can successfully escape with only three people.

Several successful hunts for Warcraft allowed them to save some magical materials.

The spell casting materials and potion materials were directly divided between Tang and the three, and the flesh and blood of the demonic beast were consumed by the mercenary group. Some of the remaining enchantment materials were also disposed of by Marianda and prepared to be refined into enchanted items.

Compared to the last time I refined the snake horn bow, this time the workload was slightly larger. Tang En first peeled off the leather armor of the demonic beast, and after several processes of drying, degreasing, nitrating, and soaking, Marianda could only use qualified magic materials.

This time, the enchanted leather armor materials in their hands were sufficient, and in addition to a petrified lizard, they also harvested a fourth-level vampire bat and a sixth-level firehorn cow.

The skin on the body of three demonic beasts is enough to refine five pieces of enchanted armor.

After a few months of studying, especially after reading a lot of magic books, Donn's magic skills have improved a lot.

His dragon language skills have increased the fastest, already by 5 points, and his elven language skills have also increased by 2 points, reaching 8 points.

The skill of rune formation has also increased to 9 points, the magic language has increased to 6 points, and the magic enchantment has also increased by 1 point to 6 points, only the skill of concocting enchantment potions has not moved, and it is still the original 7 points.

This time to refine the enchanted armor, the main personnel are already Don and Marianda, and as for Lucia, she can only act as an assistant for them.

After more than two years of studying, Don has surpassed Lucia in some magical knowledge, much to Marianda's surprise.

After all, Lucia has been studying magic for eighteen years, and even if she has systematically studied magic knowledge, it has been more than ten years.

If Don were given another three years, he would surpass Lucia in all aspects of magical knowledge. Ten years later, it may even surpass Marianda himself.

Tang En's attainments in rune formations are now quite good, and he can be regarded as the most proficient person in drawing magic formations among the three.

He first used a magic potion and drew a magic circle on the skin of the demonic beast.

Marianda then uses magic materials to attract magic power into the magic circle to complete the enchantment process.

As for Lucia, she can only take on the chores of preparing magic potions, identifying magic materials, and deriving magic formulas.

"Lucia, how is the enchantment potion ready?" asked Donn, who had just drawn the magic circle.

"According to the recipe in the book, I have already prepared the potion. But we lack Dark Grass right now, and I don't know what material we can use to replace it. Maybe it's delaying everyone's work, Lucia replied helplessly.

"Marianda, stop what you're doing and help us analyze the Ichor recipe to see if there's any replacement. If there are no replacements, we will have to wait a little longer to gather all the materials before we can enchant them. Donn said as he looked at Marianda, who had carefully considered the enchantment steps.

Marianda's magical theories were at the highest level, and after careful analysis, she finally decided that the glow-in-the-dark grass was enough to replace the dark grass.

According to Marianda's idea, Don and Lucia successfully used the glow-in-the-dark grass to refine the enchantment potion and overcome the last hurdle.

Although they had made all the preparations, they still encountered many problems in refining the enchanted leather armor, and even though the three of them were careful again, they still only succeeded twice, wasting most of the materials in the refining process.

One of the enchanted armors was very petite, and only Lucia was suitable for wearing it.

It is an enchanted armor made of vampire bat skin, which increases defense by 3 and magic resistance by 2.

The other piece of enchanted armor is made from the leather armor of a petrified lizard, and it adds only one effect, but its quality is far superior to the previous one.

This leather armor adds 5 points of defense, and at this strength, it can almost resist a first-level magic attack. Ordinary swords and swords can't pierce the defense of this armor at all.

This enchanted armor was named the Stone Lizard Armor by Don.

If sold in the Emerald City, this piece of enchanted leather armor would bring Don and them at least fifteen gold coins. But this kind of good thing, they can't sell it to outsiders, and it will only be left for the mercenary group to digest internally.

Eventually, after some bidding, the lizard armor was purchased by Jack for 12 gold coins. Although he doesn't have that much money now, he barely won this treasure by taking out a loan.

Another piece of vampire bat skin enchanted armor was bought by Lucia for five gold coins because there was no competition.

Being able to successfully take down the stone lizard armor made Jack a little unbelievable in his heart.

Newcomers like them, who have not been in the gang for a long time, actually have the same rights as other backbones, and successfully won the enchanted treasure.

This made them admire Don's generosity a little more, and if the matter was in their hands, I was afraid that they might not give the newcomer the same opportunity.

This time, although the success rate of refining enchanted leather armor is not high, only 40%.

But Tang En and the others had learned a valuable lesson, and if they were to refine the same enchanted leather armor again, they would increase their success rate to more than half.

After all, refining enchanted items is actually burning money, and if you follow their internal purchase price, refining enchanted leather armor this time is actually not much profit.

Counting the materials consumed and the enchanted potions, the enchanted leather armor that the three of them had been preparing for several months of refining only brought them 1 gold and 13 silver coins.

There is no doubt that in terms of money, in terms of efficiency, this is a loss-making thing.

After all, they make candles for two hours a day, and earn 40 silver coins a day, which is far more efficient than refining enchanted items.

But it's not just about money, they actually accumulate countless valuable experience by refining enchanted items, which can't be bought with gold.

These experiences are sometimes not seen in magic books.

It is only in the precious magical experiments that they can discover the truth of the magic hall.

Especially for arcanists like Don and Marianda, when it comes to combat ability, their advantage over mages is not very great.

But when it comes to the exploration of magical knowledge and the opening of the field of magic, the contribution of an arcaneist is far greater than that of a magician.

Every successful Arcanist is an explorer of magical knowledge and the most knowledgeable archmage.
