Chapter 21: Magical Armament
Gustav's dragon tooth seems to be in great demand.
Darth Eun, a man Gustav didn't know, inadvertently helped him gain quite a few supporters.
But the design of the daggers of the Dragon's Tooth is completely customized based on the characteristics of the priest, and it seems that it is still a little less flavorful for the wanderers who have come here today.
In terms of material alone, the voluminiano metals for legal professionals do not fully meet the needs of loiterers. They may be able to use some simple spells, but because of their sensitivity to source energy, they are destined to not go far in the part-time work of the mage. With this in mind, Gustav decided to use some tougher metal for the blade.
However, if the materials used are changed, the overall shape will have to be readjusted. Changes in the material of the blade will inevitably lead to a difference in density, and with this in mind, how to balance the position of the center of gravity requires additional calculations. It is not possible to build the whole body in one piece, and in the case of the same material density, the only way to balance the torque of the blade body through the shank is to lengthen the shank length or thicken. These two obviously have a considerable impact on the feel, and are not in Gustav's consideration.
Under special circumstances, even Mr. Leok had to urgently open the waiting list for appointments. He knew how busy Gustav was and didn't squeeze it for the sake of immediate profits. Of those who were there, only about a quarter were given a place in advance. These orders will be delivered by the end of the next month, while others seem to have to continue to schedule backwards.
"In two months' time, Igobray will be on vacation, and the personal time I will have at my disposal will be greatly increased. So if possible, Mr. Leok, you can try to arrange between those two months. Gustav was amazed at his sudden 'departure', but remained vigilant.
He has always believed that for now, exploring one's potential should be a matter of course.
"How did you do that?" asked Mr. Leok, with some curiosity, and his tone was quite amazed. "I know you're pretty experienced with this method of building, but I didn't expect you to progress so quickly. ”
Shaking his head a little embarrassedly, Gustav said, "If the things involved are very simple and simple, they are nothing. I have always had a lot of ideas about the technology and equipment that Mr. Leok has built. However, I've been too busy lately to be able to do it right away. When I have more time, I'll start experimenting with other ideas. ”
Regarding the arcane model of the 'split axis', Gustav thought that the most desirable thing was the idea. However, there are still many things that are not smooth in practice, and a lot of improvements and enhancements are needed. It just so happens that Professor Tilly of Igbray seems to be interested in involving herself in the research group, which should be more beneficial for the transformation of the 'split axis' in the future.
"But we'll have to be careful after that. Leok said helplessly: "It's okay to have magic items or magic sword outfits, such as equipment produced in a workshop like ours, which can easily be plagiarized by others." Often, not long after a good design comes out, a large number of imitations will appear. They are also craftsmen, so they are very good at measuring and copying. ”
Taking a sample of a pair of dragon teeth from behind the counter, Leok continued: "Designs like this tend to be accurately drawn on a one-to-one scale, and people with good casting skills will choose to create a mold by engraving, then inject molten iron into it, and then polish it to improve the accuracy." Those who are good at hand-made will restore it by hand little by little according to the actual situation. ”
Gustav couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he had seen this practice many times, and it belonged to the strict reproduction of industry. Although there are a lot of patents involved, there seems to be no corresponding punishment in this plane.
"There are actually a lot of ways to deal with this. Gustav thought for a moment and then said to Leok: "Mr. Leoch, we will talk about this later." I'd like to start catching up today because I'll probably be spending that night in I'm going to be at Igobrai every week from next Tuesday. ”
Leok laughed.
"I remember you said you joined Professor Tilly's lab, don't you? Congratulations, Gustav!" Leok patted Gustav on the shoulder and said nonchalantly, "With your current progress, you can complete all orders in less time, so go at your own pace and enrich yourself!"
............
Leok is a very kind person, so although Leok's personal armor is not a particularly famous shop, because of his personality, it has also attracted a lot of loyal customers.
The Mage Tower was Leok's main demander, and as an Arcanist, he needed high-precision tools and instruments to conduct experiments and make drawings. Compared to other hand-built workshops, Leok's advantages speak for themselves.
Just as Gustav and Leoch were about to start their homework tonight, the door was opened again.
"Leok, it's been a long time since I've seen you!" The person who came in was enthusiastic, energetic, and powerful when he spoke. "I also saw your news from the Redfal Adventurer's Guide, so I came over to check it out and meet the new Mr. Gustav Odinson. ”
The voice was the same as that of his master, and when Gustav looked over, he saw that it was indeed a tall man with a burly body and a blush beard.
When Leok saw the visitor, he became eager.
"It's you, Lento!" Leok stepped out of the counter and hugged the tall man in front of him with open hands. "It's been a long time! How do you have time to come to my little workshop today? Your orders and work are enough to keep you busy until the end of the year!"
Lento took off his coat and placed it casually on the hospitality table, as if he were the host of the place.
"Didn't I say it, I'm here today to meet Mr. Gustav Odinson. For so many years, you have been the most stubborn one, demanding that everything be done by yourself, with quality guaranteed. But all of a sudden, there was one more apprentice, and he was rated as highly as Darth Eun, and that was enough to make me curious enough to come over and see it. ”
Leok smiled, pointed at Gustav and said, "This is Mr. Gustav Odinson." ”
Gustav's appearance was special, obviously from the mountains and seas, and he was a young man, which surprised Lento a little.
"Hello, Gustav, I'm Rentomarcus, and like Leok, I run my own armor workshop in the Artisan District of Redfarr. ”
Large, heavy hands stretched out, and Lento and Gustav shook hands amicably.
"Don't be 'blinded' by his friendliness, Gustav ......" Leok went to prepare some black tea and brought it with a smile: "The Marcus family has been in Redfarr for a long time, and unlike me, Lento is among the makers of 'magical weapons'. ”
